In your dating era, why not add a little more you on Bumble? More of you shamelessly sending playlists. Especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Geminis because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. You know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too.

Date your way on Bumble. ["The Star-Spangled Banner"] Welcome back to part two of Hyrule's Altair, the Dragon Empire, everybody. Our heroes are currently exploring the Vault, given the nickname of the Prism. They are currently in Redwing, as they have tried to explore it, perhaps a little trepidation to descend into its lower levels, having seen poor Seren, the familiar, torn apart when sent down. Having explored one room, Gruff found something called a Psi Amplification Device, or a psionic amplification device,

and holding it close to his chest, it has latched onto him and is trying to send some sort of subliminal control message. But Gruff has resisted it for now, and now our party need to decide on what they do next. The two constructs in this room, they are not physically trying to force anything. They are just simply demanding subjects,

please lay down, you must be processed. They just repeat that message, trying to sort of, maybe not like usher you, but like definitely direct you to come and lay down. Like Ophelia and Rowan, like this thing is like moving to let you get to these beds, like almost encouraging you to lay down. I'm gonna look firstly at the alcoves

and see if those obsidian dwarves are doing anything. Nope. Great. I'm going to sit down on the second one in the table. Okay, when you sit down, Just gently sit. When you sit down, you feel a telekinetic force trying to pull and hold you down.

Uh-oh! A strength saving throw. I will give you advantage. A strength saving throw. I will give you advantage on the strength saving throw. Okay. Oh yeah, this telekinetic force, like almost like pulling your back to force you down as the crystalline ring opens up to like take you onto the slab.

And you manage to like, with aphelios help pull yourself, yank yourself standing up. Okay, don't touch the things. Don't sit on that again, don't sit on that. It's got like a power that sucks you in. Subject, please lay down. You must be processed. I don't want to.

I've had one enough. Your wants are irrelevant. The ascended one requires that you lay down. Oh, yeah? Can I try a cantrip? Can I try and cast Friends on it, on the construct? You cast Friends and it has no effect on this thing. Yeah.

Ah! I'm still trying to find some yellow key thing, but there's nothing. There is not one here. I invite you to have searched around. Yeah, yeah. I'm just overly rooting around at this point. What if we try and put the construct on the bed?

Mm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I like that idea. I like this plan, I like this plan. Do we what? I feel like it's a construct. So it's not going to be telecometically wisdom saved into anything. What's wisdom saved? It sort of just like, you know, stands in front of Rowan.

Anyway, we'll be going now, thank you. Subject, you must lay down, you must be processed. Oh, it's fine. Subject, you must be processed. Yeah, you just walk past, yeah. Bye. Come on, everyone. It just sort of turns and watches you go.

We'll just deal with security as it comes. I ask the prism, is there security present in this room? No response. Ask where the ascended one is. Where is the ascended one? Insufficient authorization. Who is the ascended one? Why? No response.

All right, let's reconvene in the middle bit because that feels safest. Okay, well, thanks for all the processing and whatnot. Subjects, you must be processed. Oh, that's, oh, I. Subjects, you must be processed. Please lay down. I feel run full of processing right now.

I couldn't have an awful simple. Subjects, please obey all instructions. I have, I've been bloody processed. I'm leaving now, goodbye. D-d-d-d-d-d-d. Yeah, you guys leave., like nothing tries to stop you or force you. There's definitely something wrong with their security system.

Yeah, something's... The amount of times they tried to call security and nothing happened. And when it did, it was already busted. If that was the security, then yes, that's already gone. Maybe being repaired. Maybe, or it's the subject that got loose. But it does.

There is a body down there. Maybe something's gone wrong. Possibly. Either way, it kind of gives us only two paths now. There's no yellow down that way, but we know. We know we can make purple. Yes, but it does mean going down or up, and I'm scared of both options.

Unless you said you can Feather Fall us, we could maybe try to light up the area just so we can see what we're dealing with down there. And... possibly just head down. Yes. I've got my headlamp. Wait, I mean, light it. Let's see, maybe I have something.

I don't have any lights. I can cast light on a dagger and throw it down. I can cast light on a... Well that was not a bad idea. I was just going to drop a fire down there. I've got a bag of coffee beans. I can cast light on a coffee bean. I'm going to drop it down there and see what it does.

People have... I can help look, yes. Good looking. Oh, yes. Look with me. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no You're both equally resplendent. Yes we are. We're watching anyway. No contest will make one of you better than the other. Yes. Thank you, but I am better. I'm dropping the coffee bean down.

Can we try some more of that wine? Look, Dan. Oh, sorry. The two of you absolutely are not making this roll. You are drinking wine and are clearly having a conversation as the coffee beans land, covering the whole bottom floor with light. You know, it's bright light for like 20 feet,

and I think like 40 feet of light. When Daisy casts light on the coffee bean bag, is each coffee... It's on the bag. On the bag. So as the bag hits the bottom, it does spray a bunch of beans. The room is lit up, but because of the angle,

you still can only really see what's directly below it. Something absolutely runs out, scrabbles at the bag, and then realizes it's not a thing, and then runs off. Gruff and Rowan, I will allow to make perception checks. Thank you. This wine's pretty good, isn't it? It's very good.

Oh, did you see it? Yeah. Definitely. Terrifying creature. So scary. 26. Seven arms. 26.

Six legs. Six whole legs. Six of them. Natural 20. Natural 20. The two of you. 23. See one creature.

But you also can tell that from the way the shadows are now moving with this extra source of light, there are at least three more. So there's four creatures down below. They are human-sized, human-shaped, long, gangly limbs, the ending claws. And one of them, the one that scrabbles the beans, very briefly looks over its shoulder up towards you,

and you see it has a single bulging eye instead of a face. It comes, and then it... Wh-wh-ful disgusting creature. Did you? I saw it. It didn't look, it was like about the size of a person, like a, you know, I saw like five foot. 16 eyes. Yeah, 16, 16 is a lot. Will you two stop? You pushed us this far to come to this vault

and you treated by just getting drunk. I'm not getting drunk, I was just calming down. Seriously. We missed the drop. You pushed us this hard to come to this vault to solve the problem with your chest. Yeah. I'll stop drinking the wine.

Sorry, Gruff. Nothing. What would you like us to do, Gruff? I would do anything else. My bird died for this. I'm sorry that happened, Gruff. So, what would you like to do? Gruff, let's avenge Saren.

This boy-o. He has the right idea. All right, whoop! So, well, I reckon if we go down prepared, facing outwards, and I cast Featherfall on us, we just, we know what we're up against here. Fast humanoid creatures. We just defend ourselves as best we can.

For you too, there was four of them. Humanoid sized, one eye. I won't lie, they were bloody horrible. Okay. Everything in here is horrible. But do you think that if we were to just drop down now, falling slowly thanks to Rowan, obviously we might be able to...

They may not be able to get to us for a bit because they're humanoid. They'd have to jump up to get to us. How slow would we be? You fall at a rate of 20 feet around, so you would actually only have, you would arrive at the top of it, you'd have one round where you're still falling,

and then you'll be at the bottom. So you'll have one round where you're still falling, and then you'll be at the bottom. So you'll have one round where you're 20 feet above. And you'll be 20 feet above, so melee attacks won't work. You'll have to use ranged attacks. If we can get them into one tight space, I can drop a fireball on them. It seems like only one, maybe two at a time are scrabbling towards things that get dropped down,

but we'll see. Well, I mean, that could be good. We could reduce the numbers, right? Mm-hmm. Just have to be careful of the rod. Yes. Where is the rod in relation to the, is it dead sensor? Not quite dead sensor.

Let me, I will draw the body. The body's sort of here-ish. Okay, so just off, but a fireball would hit the body, and the... It looks like it fell off the side. And hit at that point. Someone's put some white tape around it. It's very much that.

So that's what you see? But yeah, okay, so we could... The ranged among us can at least shoot down while we're slowly falling. I know this sounds crazy, but we should all stand with our backs to the circle, equidistant from each other, and step backwards. You don't need to touch us for further fall? No, I believe it's a reaction that you can choose creatures as you're falling. You might need to see them though.

Choose up to five falling creatures within range. Yeah, because I don't even need to see them. I just know to do it. Okay. That way we're all facing outwards. One problem. Yeah. It's more than five of you.

Yeah. Is it Pascal? And Percy. And Percy.'s more than five of you. Yeah. Is it Pascal? And Percival. And Percival. You could leave them up here. Uh oh. This is a bit of a dilemma. Percival, could you look after Pascal for?

If Sister Ophelia wishes to me to look after this young man, of course. Yes, I'd very much like you to, Percy. If that's okay. Should I defend him if we are attacked? Yes, yes. To the best of your ability, Percy. I very well, I will do so.

But also, if anything comes, let us know. Shout down the hall and we'll come up. Very well, I will do so. As I instruct. Yeah, how about that? I can at least climb up and tend help if... We can get you back up to the edge. I can climb up.

I mean, there's walls that you can walk up to, it's just that, like, there's no, yeah. All right. For the purpose of getting down here, Ophelia would have to have gone into the room out of sight of all of you if she was spider climbing on the walls. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. All right. I'll untie my sash, the Pascal's. Sure. Okay. Yeah, he's just happily sat on the floor, just tracing on his shirt. So I actually have them, I'll say Percy will come over here

and sort of stand in front of Pascal, basically, like that. So the plan is you will want to basically face the in out of it like this, right? Yep, so that we can cover all angles. is you will want to basically face like the in out out of it like this, right? Yep. Equally so that we can cover all angles. All angles. All right, on the count of three, we all step backwards. Okay, and you absolutely have this spell ready for us?

Totally. Do you remember that time in Ashen's Rest where Ophelia fell off the roof? That won't happen. Okay, that's good. Okay, yeah, no, that's, well, okay. You still caught me though. Now if anything, all you've done is make me

think of that exact moment. So she like really hit the ground hard. She really hit the ground hard. No, but she hit me really hard. That's true. The aim is to not do that. Not do that, but you, unlike the polymorph. You won't smash on the floor like that corpse down there.

Yes, okay, okay. Oh wow. Okay, just when everyone else is doing this, I'm going to do this. One, two, three. Okay, I'm jumping. Wait, was it on three? You all jump.

You begin to fall. How quick, like, and immediately you're gonna cast a fall. So you all begin to slow as this cylinder, you can see that same glassy texture, but this one has a green glow. As you get lower and lower though, the green fades and you begin to fall into darkness. There is light down at the bottom actually,

so yeah, you will actually see everything is illuminated. At least there's a floor is in. Yeah. You let, like, as you emerge out the top, I'm gonna take Percival and Thingy off, Pascal off. You see, waiting for you and leaping into action, they're not able to reach you, but these four creatures are sort of spread out

on the different corners. I might need someone to do those far ones. Or like, Trock, can you do that one? Oh, I see. Okay. Okay. Almost like hunch down, looking towards you. Yeah.

So, can I have an initiative roll, please? Yes. Yes. Oh, baby, a triple. 20. 20. A big boy. It's two in a row for you, right?

I know. So, Ophelia, what are we looking at? 11,! Oh yeah, boy. It's two in a row for you, right? I know. So, Ophelia, what are we looking at? 11, 12, 13, 14. 14. Zantheus. This is ridiculous. Me and Trot have rolled the same on Initiative four times in a row now. I also got a nat 20. What's the total?

21. 21. Oh, so you're up front in front of me. 18. Oh, okay. Rowan? 20. 20, yes.

Percival. Well, actually, Percival doesn't matter because he's not here now. He does matter, but he doesn't matter in the combat. He matters in our hearts. He matters in our hearts. So in that case, yeah, Xanthius, you are 20 feet up, so you fall about halfway as the initiative triggers. You have one round before you land on the ground, basically. Yeah.

I would like to hold onto a fireball. Okay. Hold onto concentrating a fireball spell with the idea that when something jumps over, ideally many of them, I will then cast the spell. Jumps over? Jumps through the middle underneath us. Just comes to me.

Then, oh right, they're not gonna jump towards you, they're waiting for you to land and then gonna rush towards you. And then I'll say to someone else, or to the group left of the team looking down, throw something else down there, get them to jump in so I can cast this fireball at them. Got it.

Okay. All right, so that's Antheus' turn. Yeah, concentrating on that spell. Rowan. Rowan's gonna cast Silent Image. Okay. On the ground. Yep.

Of a humanoid. Okay. That is just wearing a loincloth. Okay, so like a guy just like, like. Look how fleshy I am. Sure. I. It's like Rowan, but it's like, was a human.

The can I solo her guy. Yes. was a human the can I solo her guy? I'm literally imagining Skinny guy to Katana's It's the silent image I'm gonna make him look like he's just around with trepidation Now normally with illusions. it's like an action on their part to determine if it's real or not. So I'll have that on their turn.

Yep, all right. Okay, yeah, this guy appears. On their turn, they'll decide, we'll find out if they go for it. Gruff. Sorry, is there one, so they're waiting in the wings, basically. They are like, well, they're like at the edges of the room.

Yeah. Like hunched, well, they're like at the edges of the room. Yeah. Like hunched, watching you fall, and you don't know what they're gonna do, but like, you know, that's what you can see. You see them on the map, each on like a different quadrant. And one of these bastards killed Saren. Yeah, you don't know which one. I know which one.

I will... I will... I'm gonna use the Void Star Ring. Okay. Point it towards the one I guess that I'm facing towards, so map the north. Yep. Yeah, northwest. Near the blue door. Fuck it, we're gonna do two Chargers. Okay.

So a 60 foot long, 5 foot wide beam of Starlight. Yep. You need to make a DC15 deck saving throw. Bail. Nice. And that is four D6, do you have a four? You had a... I have a two D6, do you want that twice?

Let me roll it once and see what happens with it. Oh, you do want this one. Oh, it's time for a funky dice. I've been waiting for this one. Oh, you do want this one. Oh, it's time for a funky dice. I've been waiting for this one. This is a 2D6 dice, orb-shaped, but you know what? I think it's kind of legit. It's a 36-sided dice, but with every result,

the top and the bottom are the results of the D6. I hate it. Foot rolling, too. Okay, well, okay, so this is one level of choc. When does it stop rolling? Give it a sec. When does it stop rolling? You got 25 on there, on the top,

you got a five on the bottom of three. See how that works? Isn't that the greatest thing you've ever seen in your entire life? How is that 25? No, it's not 25. There's two results on it. Oh wait, yeah. A D6 result and then like a 32.

Wait, what's a 36 for? I can't remember how this works. It's a 36 sided dice. Fuck's sake. Why does it say 25? Why not just give the result a two? I can't remember how it works. You just said it has a five and a three.

So it's an eight on two D6. Why does it say 25 then? Because that's the 25th result. It's a 36 sided dice. Then why would you want a D36? That's ridiculous, I'm putting this away. You don't want me to do the second roll, do you? I'm genuinely actually annoyed.

Like, you buy these shitty fucking crazy dice, and then you don't even know how they work, you do a whole bit with Kim to be like, use my worky dice, and you don't even know how it works. Yeah, I thought I did. Kim, roll 4D6. I think this thing sucks. Six and a five, so that's 11. And then do it again.

Okay, roll. Two ones. Two ones, so 11, 13 points of damage. Yeah, it takes the 13 points of damage as the beam passes over it, blasting, roasting its skin. Still alive, but injured. He's roaring as he did. Yeah, brrr, rip.

But that did a decent, it seemed to do a decent amount of damage to it. It did some damage to it. Okay. Ophelia. Ophelia will cast Toll the Dead, the little guy. The one you're facing.

The one I'm facing, Josh. So, Southeast. How much, Josh, please? That's a whiz 12 saving throw, please. Fail. Fail, so that's 2d whiz 12 saving throw, please. Fail. Fail, so that's 2d8 necrotic damage. You roll it up and tell me. You tell me.

I think that one looked like eight pounds. 12. 12 points of damage, great. Again, the energy flies out of your hands, strikes the creature, kind of reacts to it as it does. Yeah, these creatures, I am gonna say, the two that have been damaged, I'm going to give them,

I'm gonna roll an intelligent saving throw to see if that damage in the attack is gonna draw their attention more than the guy in the middle. I'll let you do that if you spend a fate. I'll spend two fates. How about that? It works.

One per Grimlin. Holy shit. What the fuck? What's happened? Act like you belong here. First one is a 20, dirty 20. Second one is a 16. I'm gonna say these two are more focused

on the immediate threat. So the things that have damaged them. So the one facing Gruff and the one facing Ophelia do not run to the middle. The two in the middle go for the, they think it's a fleshy man that they can yum yum yum. So these two rush into the middle. They are 20 feet below you, Xanthias.

So your fireball will just barely avoid your group if you just cast it now. Yeah, well it was a held action. Why am I taking them off? You might not kill them. I just need to, they need to make dexterity saves please. Yes, first one, fail. Great.

On my D6. Second one is a pass, that's an 18. Oh, one passed. I think that's half damage. Half damage. 8d6 of damage, of fire damage towards these guys. That is 12, 15, 18. 20, 25, 28, 29 fire damage. 29 fire damage, so half that would be 14.

29, so half that would be 14. Yeah. You watch as this fireball detonates underneath all of you, exploding outwards just, unfortunately, 5, 10, 15. 5, 10, 15, 20. 20 feet radius, actually, I think. It's 20 foot radius, right? Mm, yeah. And that won't get us vertically? No, because it's 20 feet sphere, right? Yeah. And that won't get us vertically?

No, because it's 20 feet sphere, right? So I imagine that the center point, it's only half that going up, right? I'm, yes, that's right. So you're putting it right in the middle? Well, I mean, I know the body was probably here, it's like here. You're gonna put it there?

The furthest edge away from the center. Original point is here? Yes. Five, 10, 15, 20, is gonna miss. Yes. Five, 10, 15, 20. He's gonna miss that guy. Five, 10, 15, 20, yep. But it will catch these two, so yeah, it won't hit this one either.

So, okay. These two take the brunt of the explosion. It erupts outwards. The explosion would still strike the orb and the body, but it just kind of pushes them to the side. Doesn't seem to destroy the rod. Good. The cloak also seems to be okay.

The fancy cloak. Hell yeah. The two creatures are still alive, one of them very badly wounded, bloodied in fact. But that is gonna be, and their turn, they run in and they savage this illusion, they immediately realize it's not real, but that's their turn.

The two on the corners though, Gruff and Ophelia, their eye looks at you and glows with a kind of crackling, purple energy. I need you both to make constitution saving throws. Was this one of the ones that I have disadvantage on? No, it's not. This is not psionic. 15. Same, 15. Both of you succeed. You're going to take half damage.

I don't know what that was. 19 halved would be 9 points of necrotic damage. So if you have resistance, it would be halved again. I don't think I have resistance. I don't think you do. But yeah, so both of you take that as you both get. Their rotting gaze looks towards you and strikes you. But that is their turn.

So Daisy is going to throw a dagger. Yep. Unfortunately, you won't get sneak attack from this. Does the fireball, like, show us the area briefly with light? Yeah, well, there's the coffee bean light, which is, like, spreading out. To most of the chamber. Yeah, this is showing pretty much the same chamber.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the same shape just below. I did just fireball a coffee bean bag. Ooh, yum, yum. It smells lovely down here, but is the light now diminished? The bag is burning, and when the bag burns, the light will go.

Daisy does hit with a Radiant Blade. No sneak attack, unfortunately. I will have her go for the one that Gruff attacked. For a total of nine points of Radiant Damage. Also, bloodying that one as well. But these creatures are all still up, I'm gonna say at the end of, or the start of your turn, you basically all land where you currently are.

Right, okay. In that case, we jump up to Xanthias, you are top of the round. Okay. One is immediately in your face. Yeah. Sorry, I'm trying to remember the turn order. Where was Ophelia in the turn order?

Ophelia goes, it goes Xanthias, Rowan, Gruff, Ophelia. Then the creatures. Daisy is lost. Okay, that kind of works out. Okay, with my third level, my final spell slot, I would like to reach a hand over to Ophelia and some runes from my arms will spill out off my hand and onto you as I am casting Haste.

Oh! We love our hastes. Ophelia's being hasted and that means, oh, it's a creature I can see within range, turns out. Your speed is doubled. So you've got like 90 feet of movement left. 100 feet of movement. 100 feet.

You have a plus two to your AC. Nice. You have advantage to dexterity saves. Awesome. And you can take an additional action on each of your turns. It must be attack action or dash. Attach, dash, attack, attack, dash, disengage,

hide or utilize. Yeah, which is like use objects basically. So that means you can't cast a spell with the bonus action. Also you don't get a multi attack. You just get one extra attack. But you basically have three attacks a turn. That's sick.

If you wanna do it that way. Awesome, thank you. And that's your turn. And concentration remember, and if it drops, I think it has an effect. That's true. As a bonus action, I will give myself some runes. Okay, Rowan, you're up.

Rowan. Gruff, you're next. So I'm now gently hitting the floor. You are, yep, you've touched down. I'm gonna cast Bardic Inspiration on Gruff. Okay. Next you have a little moat floating gonna cast Bardic Inspiration on Gruff. Okay. Next you have a little moat floating above your head. Nice, nice, nice.

And then I'm going to cast Enthrall on the one closest to me. And that is a wisdom saving throw. The one next to you and Daisy? Yes. 10. Fail. Any, this will, any creature, you or your companions are fighting

automatically succeeds on the save, and when failed, a target has a life. Well, you guys are fighting it, so it would automatically succeed on the saving throw, which you would know. So do you wanna do something else? Yeah, yeah. It does say that, like, if you are fighting it,

you immediately, because I think enthrall's meant to be used more like social distractions and stuff. All right, in which case I will... Apologies. That's fine. It's okay. It's fine. You know it's okay. It's done.

You've got other spells. I've used Bardic, so that's my bonus, so I'm just gonna get my Longsword out and slash it. Sure, go for it. That's a natural 20. Oh, really? That's like three in a row, dude. Well, yeah, big crit.

I know. I keep fudging. Big crit. Yeah. So that's, you're using it two-handed? I'm gonna say no. Okay. I'm gonna say, relatively,

I would have just kept it. I'm gonna say, I would have just kept it. I'm gonna say, I would have just kept it. I'm gonna say, I would have just kept it. I'm gonna say, I would have just kept it. But, butic Inspiration is a spell, so you don't need to have a hand free. A hand free.

Sure, sure, sure. All right, so eight plus your modifier, and then plus a D8. 14. 14 total damage. Plus, oh. Yeah, I did it, yeah. Yep, that's it.

So you added your modifier? Yes. So only plus one. All righty, so yeah, you watch as again, that one is now bloodied as the Longsword cleaves into this creature. It just gibbers, there is just like, there is,

there's not a mouth, there is this thin line that just opens like a few millimeters and you hear this kind of,, this big, horrific eye. Rowan disconnects from the chat. Yep. Nice. Do-do-do. Gruff.

Gruff. You like my laughing guy? I love him. I love him. It's your turn. Well, they killed Beron. The visual was horrifying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tiny little like, little tiny.

And the noise is horrible as well. Yeah, I love this and I hate it. I love it and I hate it. What was Gruff 2? I'm gonna run towards that little freak. The one that you attacked previously. Yeah, sure. Cast in Shalali as I go.

I'm just gonna go for a big whack. 18 plus seven. Oh, shit. Oh, 10 plus four, 14. Oh my god. Damage? Yes. You just didn't even ask me if the attack hit.

Okay. What was the attack? I said it was 18 plus seven. Oh, that hits. Okay. And then the damage? 14. There's an order to these things.

You don't get to just roll and decide if you did. I just can't. I might have a reaction ability. I might have a reaction ability. Yeah, do you? No, so it hit. How much damage? 14.

14 points of damage. Excellent. Order. Order! Order! Order! Order! Ever since Trot got the fate thing off,

you have lost control of the table. I've regained control. The revolution! It has begun, comrades! The staff clubs this thing in the eye and it kind of reels away from you, kind of holding its claws up. And you almost hear like sobbing from this one.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I hate. Anything else on your ten? Gough. Your bone section move. I was about to say like in terms of RP, Anything else on your 10? Your bone section move attack. I was about to say like in terms of RP, like this is a vicious attack.

Like he is out for blood. I can slam it into this eye, this like juice comes out. And then you just did the whole sad crime thing. Ophelia. Yeah, Ophelia's gonna jump down and yeah, she's gonna definitely- Which ones do you want to go for? In front of her, please. Runically empowered like a, yes.

Like you now have multiple arms. So that's five, 10, 15, 20 feet of your 100 foot movement. And then more legs and arms. The veracity attack. You can divide attacks, if you kill this thing and you've still got an attack left, you can run to the next one. You have 100 feet of movement.

I was gonna go for this guy, can I use fate, please? Oh, you absolutely can. 17 plus two plus six, 19 hits, whatever. Uh, so D8 plus three. Full damage, 11 damage. 11 points of damage. How's he looking? Bloodied.

I'm gonna strike him again. Okay. Never forget you got your bullets as well. And I've got vex as well. Oh yeah, you have advantage, yeah, vex. Hell yeah. So 13, 19. Hits. Nice.

So a D8 plus three again. You can spend a blood point to get an extra D6 as well. I will, yes. Three, five, six, seven, eight damage. Eight points of damage. Still up, unfortunately, but looking very wounded. Dang, okay, I'm gonna have to use my additional action then and just go for it, just get this guy.

Well, you still have Vex because you hit it with a successful attack, so you have advantage again. It's very strong. Oh, fuck, no, it's fine, it's a 12. Four's a two. 18. Hits. Oh, damn. All right.

You with Vex now is gross. That's a Seren! That's a Seren! Seven damage. Seven lightly damage. Now you're my favorite child. Wine slurred. It's a Seren!

It's a Seren! You killed his bird! One thrust, two, the third kind of like tears across its throat, still barely standing. Oh my god! But on its last legs, this creature. This one just doesn't make any sound at all as you strike it, just eerily silent. Why won't you die?

Why won't you? Anything else on your side? I'm just bonus action Rage. Okay. That was without Rage too. That was without Rage, yeah. Why didn't you Rage first? I got too excited about the extra actions. Oh, okay.

So I'm gonna get three of those. That's fine, that's fine. Yeah. All right. I'll have it all, can't we? You can't. The creatures are now going to attack and they're basically making melee attacks

against all of you guys, two Claw attacks each. Ophelia, against you. That is a 21 on the first one. Yeah, I you. That is a 21 on the first one. Yeah, it'll hit. And a 23 on the second one. I'm just gonna do them all together, but I'll do the damage separately because you obviously have resistance now.

That's 11 slashing damage from the first, so half to five. And then the second one is gonna be seven slashing damage, half to three. Eight. Eight total. Xanthias. Hey, what up? Natural 20 on the first one. seven slashing damage to half, two, three. Eight. Eight total. Xanthias. Hey, what up? Natural 20 on the first one.

Oh my God! 15 on the second. 15 hits. Oh, they both hit excellent. I tried to reflexively reflect, reflect. Like, you hit me. I rolled shit damage on the crit, so it's only 15 slashing damage.

Okay. Do you wanna reduce it, or are you gonna save it? Save. All right, and then the next one is seven slashing damage. The. Do you wanna reduce it or are you gonna save it? Save. All right, and then the next one is seven slashing damage. The first one's double. Hold. No, I already maxed it. Hold, hold.

I rolled like a two on my damage. Hold. Diamond hand. Daisy and Rowan, I'm gonna divide the attacks, one on each, so Rowan, natural 20 again. Jesus. Trot has done it numerous times. I can't help it, right?

I think this is because we tried a revolution, guys. Do you have any deal reduction? 20 points of slashing damage to Rowan. Yeah, I'm gonna use my stone. Yeah, have you used them all? That's fine, yeah, yeah. I have, I'm just checking my reactions. I don't think I've.

Of course, against Daisy again. I'm worried he. You got one left. You got one left, okay, so 20 damage Of course against Daisy I get it. I'm worried he... You've got one left. OK, so 20 damage currently, but you can reduce it. I'm gonna reduce that one. That makes sense. By 11. OK, so you take nine.

The one against Daisy misses, I roll a two. And then against Gruff, 21. To hit? Yeah, that'll hit. Thank you. It's an order to these things. 20 to hit. Damage? No, that'll hit. Thank you. There's an order to these things. 20 to hit. Damage? No, 20 to hit on the second attack.

Oh, yeah, that'll hit. All right, so the first attack, you're gonna take seven slashing damage, followed by another 10 slashing damage, so 17 total. You do have... The order has been observed. Thank you. You have witness structure.

Oh, that's fine. We done? Yeah. All right. You got the body. Okay. Oh yeah, what did I? You can't do it for this.

I can't do it for that. Okay. Daisy is going to stab the one next to her with a Radiant Blade for an 18, which is gonna hit and she gets Sneak Attack. Yes. That was like 4d6. 4d6 just for the Sneak Attack plus her normal d6.

For 10, 14, 18 points of damage to that one, which is Southwest, which kills it. Oh! And seeing it strike Rowan badly, like Daisy's like Rowan! Stabs the Radiant Blade as this thing writhes and collapses to the ground dead.

She is then going to, as a bonus action, turn around and throw a Psychic Blade towards the one that Ophelia was fighting, trying to finish that one off, basically. That is unfortunately gonna miss though, because that is only a 11 to hit, I rolled a four. No, she would have had advantage, because it's against the same target with Vex. All right, that is Daisy's turn,

so we go back up to the top with Xanthius. Hey, what up, this guy right in front of me needs to go. Is he bloodied? The one in front of you, yes, he was the one hit by the fireball that took the full damage from the fireball. In that case, I will, oh, I'll do a Shocking Grasp on him, which is a tough spell.

So I need to roll attack on this. Spell attack. Which is something I have to do very infrequently for ZanZan. Okay, okay, okay, I can match your Vat20s with a Nat1. Oh, it's a shame. Seven to seven, seven to seven here. Doesn't hit. Free to say.

End of turn. Bonus action, bonus action, bonus action. D8 bonus. I don't think I have my breath weapon. I do have my breath weapon, it's an action. I have changed it. Cock. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Order. That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, I'm just sort of standing here. Rowan, then Gruff. I'm still trying to keep it back from everyone else. The one in front of you, Rowan, is dead. Rowan's gonna spin, see a folio. She's just a folio.

Okay. Just flat. Or a character in a Shakespearean play. A folio. Pray tell, a folio, what cometh? I bite my thumbadisa. I bite my thumb and do so. I bite my thumb and do so. I really need Ophelia dressed as like a Jacobian

with like the neck ruffle with Ophelia. But also you'd have to be a boy, it's like dressing as a boy, Ophelia, you know, like. You know, Shakespeare loved a little of the old gender play. What are we doing, Rowan? Healing Word. Oh, I'll sit back down. And he's going to run forward.

OK, I'll stand there. I can notch him if you want. Where do you want him to go? Towards Ophelia. And seven points. Probably put him next to the creature. 10 points of healing. Oh, thank you.

And he's going to la'Ench with his sword. Sword. Love it. Swording. This one is really, really injured, so. Goody gum drops, that's a nat one. It's about time. It's about time.

So the scales have been... It had to be, as I said, this one's really hurt. So, like... Yeah. That's karma. Hey, it happens. Anything else, Rowan, on your turn? If not, we go to Gruff.

No, I maxed out. Gruff. So I roll this bardic on my attack roll, right? If you want to use it happens. Anything else, Rowan, on your turn? If not, we go to Gruff. No, I maxed out. Gruff. So I roll this bardic on my attack roll, right? If you want to use it on an attack roll, yes. Sure, let's go. 13 plus, what is this? Six, 19 plus seven.

Hit. Hit. Seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 points of damage. 11 points of damage to that one. The one that's the north. It will also have a con saving throw. Okay. Because this is charged.

Does it do damage? It will. It doesn't, I don't need to worry about it because it's already dead. All right, well it fizzles with thunder energy. So as the staff slams in powered by the thunderous energy of ruins as well, this thing just breaks, its ribs cracked, its skull caves in as it falls down dead. No, as well. This thing just breaks, its ribs cracked,

its skull caves in as it falls down dead. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, knock him down. Oh, oh yeah, might be. Anything else scruffy? Just a murderous roll. Would you like to move? You've not moved yet. Do you want to move towards the next one?

It is fine. Xanthias. What'd you say? Xanthias. Xanthius. What'd you say? Xanthius. Who looks like he's holding his own really well. I'm doing so good, Dad. Yeah, I think, yeah, knock this one down, do a big old roar, turn, and I will run. Do you...

All right, full turn. Excellent job. Ophelia. Ophelia's gonna look at this creature in front of her. Blood dripping. She's gonna have a nice little bite time. Okay. Love it.

Love it. Bite attack, please. Bite attack, and I have advantage because I'm missing half or more of my hit points. Very good. Oh yeah, that. That one's cocked. These two delicious fate before I tell you the result. Eight, nine, ten, eight plus six, twelve. Twelve? Fourteen.

Fourteen. Fate it. We don't actually know what that rate is, but... Twenty. Hell yeah. Yay! Fight time! D4 plus three piercing.

Now remember as well, like you heal back the damage you deal, right? If you blood point, you get to add extra damage to it, which means you heal more. I like the way this guy thinks. I like the way his mind works. And you get your rage damage as well now. Yes, so max damage on my D4, so seven,

plus a D6, so 12, plus 14. 14 points of damage. You rip this thing's throat out. Yes. There is blood here. It is unpleasant to drink, but it is charged. It almost like crackles and tingles on your tongue. You can almost taste that this thing once

probably wielded quite great magic, but whatever has happened to it, that process is gone. But yeah, like you drink its blood, it's foul, tainted, but invigorating in the way that only blood can be for you. Yeah. But that is one action, that's your one attack. Rowan's backing up. Yeah. Girl's gonna drink, attack. Rowan's backing up.

Gals got a drink. Wow. Do you want to move up and attack the next one? Yes, I will roll around to one attacking Grr. Sure. And I'll with Veracity in hand plunge it in. Love it. So no vex on this one. No, different target unfortunately. 12. Is not a hit, I'm afraid. Dang! And then one more go. Yes. We do that. I just realized I didn't concentration check the haste.

But it's okay, I rolled high enough on both. Nice. Would have changed things very dramatic. What are you? 12 again. A miss, unfortunately. Maybe too amped up of the blood, or like, ratching a little bit from the foul taste.

Two swings and a miss. End of turn of Philly? Yep. The last remaining creature in just mad desperation is gonna spin around. You're looking pretty bad, aren't you? I'm looking pretty bad. You've just healed, but you are.

I'm looking really bad. So it is going to... Although actually Gruff's like coming as quite a big chunky target, I think it's gonna go for Gruff. And he's pretty feral. Yeah, so I think he's gonna see perhaps you as the bigger risk right now.

So I'm gonna make two core attacks against Gruff. Okay. Natural two on the first one. That's not a thing. Very weak. People don't say that. I say that. I say that all the time. So that's a seven followed by a 10,

which I believe both miss. Yes. Even without your armor of Oak and Thorn. So it just scratches against you, like trying to get to you, but you're just fending it off without the staff just bashing it away, just filled with rage at this thing. All right, that's all of its go.

Great. Daisy. Kill Stealer Daisy. Huh! Ha ha ha! No. Oh! All of its go. Great. Daisy, kill stealer Daisy. Ah! Ah! No. No. Oh, but a three on the d20 for a 10.

Oh. So, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo. Second for eight. It's my kill. 19 plus seven is gonna be more than enough. You stole my kill. Yeah, four, yeah, it annihilates this thing, the sneak attack, as Daisy sends this second blade

as it turns to get gruff, just its throat torn out. The last thing you hear from this one is a horridly human voice from that thin mouth. Like, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. a horribly human voice from that thin mouth. Like, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Oh! Like, like, like. Oh my god! Was it like, weirdly, almost like a voice recording

type thing, or was it like? No, it sounded like that was it. Oh, that's... Are there any feathers on its person? Huh? Are there any feathers on its person? No. Are there any feathers on the floor?

Yeah, I mean like Saren, although there was infused with some sort of energy, there is still like a physical remains for Saren. I'm partially eaten, I'm afraid to say. You really didn't like that, did you? That's fucked up, dude. That was fucked. That was so fucked. Are you okay, Mark?

I'm fine, look at him, look at him. I mean, that's fucking brilliant, but- Yeah, it's called a town. Love it, but- So good, so visceral and freaky. Now we're down here. Yes. Before we go pick up the thing and investigate the body,

is it a similar sort of construction? Exactly the same layout with the one exception, the entrance hall that you came from, so the passageway leading to the north doesn't exist. The difference down here is the door colors are different. I will say, so, this door that was blue is actually already open. Oh.

As is this door down here. Yellow is also open, great. So that's the south. And the north, and the northwest. Yep. I might need somebody to write this one for me. The southernmost door, which was open. The southern one is orange.

Okay. Oh. Oh is orange. Okay. Why did you write it that way into the room? It's for the camera. Oh, yeah, good point. The yellow southwest door is actually prismatic. So if you just want to put a P or something like that. Pee. Or priz.

And then finally the top one that is purple is red. This one's red, okay. I think I saw guys, we have a red dingleberry. All right. You're right, there, eh? That ain't red, we need a doctor. So that's what you see immediately. The other thing you would notice down here

is now that you are down at the bottom. So keep it together, keep it together. Hold. You would see down here. Oh hang on, let me just tick off the amount of subjects there are now. Oh for tracking. Yeah.

No, that's all you see. There is a similar device to the plinth up above. This one does not have an orb in it, and it does not have any rods already placed in it. If I remember rightly, there's still nine more quote-unquote subjects down here. So we need to be more careful going through these open doors. Make sure things don't charge us from that direction. But we can get the thing now.

Yeah, there is a blue control rod on the ground. It's dark down here, right? The blue light, I would say the bag has burned away, the coffee beans, but Daisy's got light on her dagger and just holds that up. I've also got candlelight as well. Candlelight, oh, so important. Yeah.

But no, Daisy's Light provides illumination for everybody. Also, the rod does give off a very faint, dim blue glow as well. Same as the red one, it gives off a faint red glow. Rowan's gonna like daintily prod this body in front of him with his foot. Yeah, it's like a mummified corpse. Like you can see that it's, you know,

some poor adventurer, probably human by the look of them. Not very able to tell too much. They have a knapsack. They are wearing sort of like a simple suit of chainmail. You can't see any weapons on them, but they have a satchel, this very fine blue cloak with like a nice fine trim. And that's the most preserved thing from the fireball.

The cloak and the satchel, yeah. The satchel is probably badly burnt, but you can see that there is something inside that survived. There might be something useful here. I'll have a look. On the body? Yeah. Okay.

Like why they fell, where they came from. Yeah. I'll look through the satchel. In the satchel, most of it's being damaged by the fireball or maybe just worn away by time. You do find a potion. Potion. Oh. It looks very similar to, you would recognize it,

I'm not gonna make you make a check on anything, it's a potion of greater vitality. So it's a 44 plus four, 10 page beat. Great. Yeah dude. You do find that like, this person, you find a symbol on their forearm of a pair of crossed keys and a lock,

which reminds you, Rowan, of the group that actively seek out vaults. You remember them being called something similar, something to do with locks and stuff like that. Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. You know what that is?

This, this is a little dingleberry. It's a dingleberry. On the arm, it's a, I think this might be the symbol of, in Kelskaris, there is a group that seeks out vaults. I think this might be the symbol because it's something to do with locks and keys. So someone did manage to find this place in the end.

Seems like it, they managed to jump through, but didn't make it very far, clearly. Okay. Also, this cloak survived your fireball. Oh, almost certainly. The central's burnt to hell. Sorry about that. Look at this cloak. I could, you think it's worth taking a look at it? Oh, almost certainly. The sash was burnt to hell. Sorry about that. Cloak.

I could, you think it's worth taking a look at it? I identify. OK, takes 10 minutes. With my gold sight eye. Takes 10 minutes. You guys just enjoy yourself. I'll identify it later, in fact. But I can do.

Who's taking it? I can hold onto it at least for now. One cloak. I think Gruff should have it. Well, we don't know what it does yet, it's a thing. But when we find out what it does, I think Gruff should have it. Because it's blue?

No, because Gruff's already lost a lot. Oh yes, well, yeah. It's on the ground. Yeah, you know what? That makes sense. I know the quote doesn't make up for it, but it's... It's the sentiment of the thing, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah.

I say this with all the love in the world, but if we needed proof that Xanthus is on the spectrum, I think that was relevant. It's like, what, because it's blue? Like... Just all emotion is out of the window. He's just like, blue. I say that with love. As somebody on the spectrum, I say that with love.

I think I just had a diagnosis. That's why I got air. Yeah. I'll identify it later. All right, what are people doing? And Groff, in the meantime, is probably a little bit away from them. Yeah. With his back turned, he's kneeling on the ground.

Yeah. And I think at the mention of this rather delicate conversation, you just hear a... Tar... Tarali... No. Xanthias. Sister Ophelia. I'm sorry I raised my voice at you both. It's okay. We were being ridiculous and stupid and insignificant and worthless. I didn't say any of that. No, I know you don't. I'm not saying any. I don't believe I'm insignificant and worthless.

No, I mean either, but I thought it made you feel better if we did say that. Look, it's blue. I'm sorry that that's the kind of man you think I am. I'm sorry you lost Saren. Truly, it's, I can't imagine. It's like you said, you raised her from an egg and you watched her grow and just like that.

It's not fair. We come here and all we're trying to do is leave and... Then that happens. Xanthias, I want you to know I am dedicated to finding the secret of this place. I know, I know you are. And we're doing everything we can to get through this as safely as possible. I'm just... I'm sorry you saw that side of me. And he stands up and turns,

and you see the remains of Ceren in his paws. On the remains. Yeah. I feel her, like, put her hands around Ceren, around, like, Gruff's paws. There's nothing I can do to help you in this moment, but I know she brings you comfort the same way that Percival brings me comfort. He reminds me of home.

And there's no greater feeling than home. And I'm sorry, I want to, I wish there was a way I could help bring you closer to your home, the way that Percival does for me. I'll try... We'll try and fix this. We'll find a way. She means a lot to you, so she means a lot to us as well. Thank you, Sister Ovelia. I will be OK. I just... I'm sorry.

It's OK. Don't... Don't apologise. These sweet, kind words. Is anybody, what would folks like to do? You have these two open doors, one leading into a familiar layout, like just glancing inside, it is dark, but from the light that's kind of spilling out from Daisy's dagger, you can see that it seems

to follow a similar layout. Maybe not same contents, but same layout as the floor above. The other corridor you have not been down, it does look like it's a longer corridor, however. Well, I guess we need to do what we did upstairs and just have a look around and see what we can find. And hopefully there's not too much trouble waiting for us. Don't drink the blood of those things, by the way.

I wasn't thinking of, no. I wasn't planning on doing it. We could go through that open door southwest, what is the yellow one upstairs. And it would maybe give us a good idea of what to expect layout-wise in the middle floor as well. It does look very similar to upstairs. Almost identical.

Like everything down here matches apart from that corridor, the entrance corridor is not there. Or we could just go straight back up into the middle now with this new key. How would you get up there? Remember it's 40 feet to the cylinder We're going to go back up into the middle now with this new key. How would you get up there? Um... Remember, it's 40 feet to the cylinder,

and then the cylinder is 80 feet to the middle. Only really Ophelia can get up there. Yeah. Then I have no way of communicating to you all when I am up there. It's too far. Well, we could just send you up there in order to make a different color for us. I can try. There is the device down here as well. Same device, exact same devices down here.

Don't worry. Should we leave the orb and the rod upstairs? No, we got that. You've got them? Okay. Yeah, yeah. So there's... There is also a red door. Orange prism.

Which we could probably just... Yeah, there's nothing that would require mixing with what we've got. Not down here. Yeah. True. Should we look through the open ones Not down here. True. Should we look through the open ones first? Yes, yes.

And then open the red door? Let's stick together though, because like I said, there's definitely more of these specimens. We were gonna split up? No, I'm just saying, watch out for, listen out for noises, it might be more of these things. There could even be some constructs. I don't even know if constructs count.

It's into the numbers they gave me. I think Daisy might say, like... Nim's saying that I think... Nim's actually kind of agreeing with Xantheus that checking out that yellow door to see what the layout above is good, because then it gives us an idea of what that is. Nim thinks that's actually a really good idea.

All right, let's go that way then. All right. I'll make my way. You're going to lead the way, Rowan? While we're heading that way,. All right, I'll make my way. You're gonna lead the way, Rowan? While we're heading that way, are these bodies doing anything odd? No, they're sort of. Why would you ask that?

Well, it's just the construct melted into the vault. These are not doing anything like that. No, they're just laying there dead. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Humanoid. Just as we walk towards the door. What the fuck is that? This is not the same.

This is for the middle floor. I'll describe what you guys see. Right, okay. Just as we walk towards the door, Gruff will put a paw on Xanthias' shoulder and a little bit of light as he heals. Cure Wounds level one. Five, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13.

13, man, that's so good now. Healing is good now. Thank you. As we see that, as you guys are 13. 13, man, that's so good now. Feeling is good now. Thank you. As we see that, as you guys are kind of at the back, Rowan, Daisy, and Ophelia, you step into, unlike what is on the map, ignore the map, that is for the middle floor. You don't know that.

We just know that it is a 30 by 30 room. It's a big room. Yeah. Big room. You find this large square chamber is made of smoky black glass, unlike the same white-colored glass that you saw above. And you immediately begin to recognize a familiar pattern scratched into the surface of it,

repeating over and over and over again. You see broken pieces of a construct littering the door area that leads out. The construct is a pincered arm and what appears to be several broken legs, which do seem somewhat familiar. There is also a yellow rod in the pincer. It's almost inserted into the forearm. The other thing, and I'd say Gruff, you and Daisy with your perception checks notice this. In amongst that repeated polygon scratching,

for the first time, you see something else scratched. Writing. Language. Well, you would need to get closer to read it. In the middle of it? Of each symbol. In different parts of the wall. Almost like. Amongst it.

Amongst it, yeah. That's comic sans. Not comic sans, but it is crude. It's very crude. But not a language we understand. Jagged. No, it's in common. Cool. But you would need to get closer to read it properly.

I adjust my lantern light head. It doesn't do anything. The realm. Oh, okay. It does very little. It's already on full blast. It illuminates, it illuminates. But yeah.

Does anyone wanna read the writing? Rowan does? You go up Rowan and you find one on the sort of far eastern wall, very close to the door entrance. And it reads almost childish kind of like hand writing, but as if somebody is using a pen that they're not familiar with,

or maybe their non-dominant hand. And it reads, my name is Frieda. They did this to me. I'm not a monster. Please help me. And you move along and you find on the southern wall, this was the layout of this place.

I don't know what door they put me in. And you see the symbol, probably the first one ever drawn, begins here. And then you go to the next wall, thing in head, his voice must obey. And then on the final north wall, me, Frieda, misspelt, I hurt, help. Fuck you, dude.

I hurt, help. Fuck you, dude. Rowan reads that last bit. He just slowly turns to look at Groth and the prism embedded in his chest. Groth, we have a problem. And with that, we'll end today's episode. That's so fucked. That's so sick. That's so cool.

I love it. Do not forget that you also found the yellow rod in this room. Yay! We have them all. We have every color, right? We have every color. But only two spheres, and there are many doors still to explore. I will say,

and this is a little OC knowledge, if you want to, this is now gonna be down to like, how far do you wanna push for stuff like treasure and answers? There is a lot of treasure in this place. You still need to rest. But there is risks associated with it and everything else. You still need to rest and everything else as well,
