Welcome to Legends of Aventress. I'm Felix Ackerman, and you're listening to Beneath Dark Wings. Here's what happened last time. I'm looking for you that the town, Clarek, Wizard, Prophet, a medic. Brother Gruber. You said, Grover. I've been 10 years. But he said he was going to do to this city, and in my mind, and in Lutti's mind, that's Entra, and that's all we have to go anywhere.

Can you help him? I can see what I can do. I would recommend that he be brought to the Monty. there and be put under 24-hour supervision. The patient seems to be still. The journey is not easy. I hear them as it echoes. And it sounds like the banging of war drums,

ogres, and hill giants, all marching with some kind of distinct purpose. You are in the Stout Maine Highlands. You have, you're probably, still several days from Butcher's Bluff, or maybe rather a day or so from Butcher's Bluff. And you are stopped kind of around this ridge. If you see it up in the mountains,

there are just these lumbering shapes. Massive, bloated, hideous shapes of flesh that you know to be hill giants, as well as smaller, but still no less rotund and grotesque ogres, riding beasts of various sizes, kind of flanked by other strange beasts. It's kind of hard to tell from where you're at, just kind of shapes of masses of hair and flesh that you can see. And you kind of hear the loud booming of war drums

as these creatures are marching northward in the same direction that you're heading. You are kind of behind an embankment. You can kind of hear the... lapping of a river that goes through the highlands, the running water, almost drowned out by the sound of the far-off drum, despite being so far, echoing quite loudly.

What are you guys do? Man, these beats are really fresh. I love this. Does anybody know ZZ Topic? Sorry, he's a cultic guy. It's not important. All right, so does this normally happen around here? Look at what this going on?

Um, dumb question, but this is no relation. What I have ever known of anything like this? You would have no idea. Toa, I, no, I don't, I can't recall anything like this. This is definitely out of the ordinary. I mean, we clearly can't go in there. Are they way, way, way far away? They're very far away.

So you know that Butcher's Bluff is kind of, that there is, there's the mountains, the Krova Mountain Range that's heading directly north, even in the highlands, kind of a little, bit in front of the foothills, keeping your eye on the mountains kind of heading north, and you know that Butcher's Bluff is some point up north in the direction that you're heading, but you, it's not like they're just guarding exactly where you're going. They're just kind of all far in the distance, and just with the vast ranges that you can see because of the elevation, it's easy to see, and for how large they are. It's easy to see them

moving northward. Can I get a sense of how far away they might be, based on my understanding of acoustics and echoes in a drumming space. Don't throw your back out with that. Make an intelligence check. Intelligence. That's where I'm a... Oh. Yeah, I know exactly what I'm fucking talking about.

Where's intelligence? It's going to be a 19. A 19. Okay. You get the sense that they're probably... I don't know. It's 15 miles away. I don't know.

Oh, okay. I don't know distance. It's smart. It seems like we can get there in like a half-day walk. if we went straight towards them, but that's probably not the best plan. Well, while I know our goal, my goal, Toa's goal, we need to go to the capital city. I have a feeling, well, we may run directly into this band of creatures. I'm not sure. I don't necessarily want to fight them head on, but it's concerning, and it might warrant investigation.

Felix, darling, is that the frog I was talking to? This is Jason Funderberger. then that's definitely the frog I was talking to. He's missing a hide. Did he pluck out his eye? Is that always missing a knife? What if I did, I didn't do on purpose? So it wasn't one of those creepy deck rituals you do all the time?

They're not creepy death rituals. I'm talking to my god. Well, I felt you did that with creepy death rituals. Oh, that was the whole point. Oh my God, I'm talking to you. So we leave from one dark thing, which is a strange man, the guy didn't want to ring with us, who is obviously turning into a some kind of beast creature and now we're heading straight into etons and giants and what are we doing you're asking me like like you think this is my fault i i listen i just trying to

be fair we said oh let's hang out in town and leutis like yes we'll party will drink we'll sleep in nice beds and you're like no that sounds like we're going to leave immediately and we're going to butcher's bluff and we're going to find my brother and we're leaving that's a pretty impression to me and everybody said no we're not and you said yes we are we're going we're going we're going and said no we're not and you said yes we are we all said well fuck I guess we're going and so now we're here so yes I would actually look at you and say it meant me we got ice cream sundays you remember it was delicious I don't quite remember it like that but you got ice cream sundays and you didn't invite me a lofty well to be

fair I made Toa sleep in a cave for a night so I thought I got it to be fair you made me sleep in a cave it was more than an outcropping well the definition of a cave I guess perhaps if there's any kind of any kind of of coverings at a quagery? Have we discussed the philosophy between the differences in the outcropping? I don't think that's come up in conversation. We've got this I spent the night outside, that's true. You know, that reminds me, we never had the conversation where we were going to decide what exactly constitutes a dog pack.

So, uh, maybe we'll just have that, we'll wrap, we'll wrap that whole... You said that they're at least 15 miles out, correct? That sounds about right, yeah. I think we have more than enough time to figure out what constitutes a dog pack. Well, I think that it's... So, generally, are you still here? No, I'm fucking here. I'm sitting right here

I'm as tall as you are, Bigelps. Is it possible to get to Butcher's bluff and avoid those guys? Well, I'm not going nowhere fucking near those ugly guys. I mean, you got one ugly fucking mug, but they're like 20 times uglier than you have. Aren't we even just a little bit concerned

what they might be doing? I mean, like I said, I don't necessarily want to cause any trouble or stir up any fighting. But this is... kind of concerning. I mean, they do seem to be, based on the tone quality of the drums,

I guess that they're preparing for some kind of a battle, conflict, clash, that kind of thing. What direction are they marching to? What, it looks like her marching north. But what's north? I mean, I'm not from here. Well, north is always north. No matter where you are, it's still north.

It's all right, right? They're compasses where I'm from. Is that what a compass means? Yeah. Oh man, I need to buy one of those. Let me arrive there. Damn, damn. So do we know, like, what's north?

Do we know where it could be inaction? I would know the direction of the Capitol, correct? And like, which direction we need to get there, right? I would say that you would know that basically, Zensha's pretty far off in for groups of the capital, but you know that basically to get there, anyone would need to head north to get around the Krola Mountains. Okay.

I basically just relay that information and give a brief description. Basically, relay what you said about having to travel around the mountains to get, you know, north to get to the capitals, Dentra. Now, I can't say that they're going to the capital, but it's that direction. I mean, we may have to go around them, through them, sneak by them. I don't know, but it doesn't seem like we have any other choice.

Jamminy, is it unusual for ogres and, you know, all these other monstrosities to, like, get? all together and alive with each other in that way. Look, I'm gonna put you off really quickly. We have a . We have a galarice, we have a genocene, a very shifty human, a dwarf, a tabaxi, that's me actually. I'm a tabloxia and a teakling.

So if we're all together, then I'm not shocked that they're all together, I think is my point. That's good. Well, yeah, but we're all like rashly. humanoid. I don't know anything about these priests. Have you met Felix? Felix, I'm like you to meet Caprice. I know Caprice. Hello, my name is Capricio de Sestil. You can call me Caprice. It's a pleasure to make it. Lovely, we've met.

You've done this already. You've met in a rational member of our party. That's fair. I met semi-rational. He's not like crazed and eating flesh and whatnot. I'm the most rationalerable owners. Well, no, but he's got a scroll hanging out the back of his collar and I feel like that's not a real safe place to be putting your scrolls. You know, I know you're a wizard and all, but shouldn't you be putting that in like your cave, like somewhere like in a packet? Well, I saw something, you know, and I figured it was a scroll, so anyway, I think we should make sure that all of our scrolls are secured before we proceed.

That was the most RP plot I've ever heard. I have not yet. What's going on? I don't know. You look sad. Jamie, answer my question. Ignore, Ignor Iris. What do you got? You don't ever ignore me. You can just avoid what I was saying.

Just don't ignore it. I mean, you keep providing me all this good shit. I'll do whatever you tell me to. Do you take us to Butcher's bluff? That's what I'm fucking doing. Well, so first of all, ogres, hill giants, they all fucking hate each other.

They're all competing. for raids and pillaging and killing game and all this stuff. That's... And so when they fucking came to us, to my hosts, and Big Boss told them to fuck off, they promised that by working together that we could that we could fucking achieve amazing power and do great things. And I guess it was appealing for them, big blows up there.

Wasn't appealing us, apparently. So it is unusual that they're all together and I just wanted to learn. I mean, I wouldn't be uncomfortable swinging by and doing only reconnaissance, but I think that we should try to keep ourselves as un-aware as possible when it comes to the ogres and whatnot. What do you guys say? I agree. Let's do that. Oh yeah, I guess we're...

I was hoping you'd say we'd go back and do the fucking parent, but okay, that's fine. I'm not sure about you, but that's Luffy's idea and that's also my idea. So I think that we could do that. Right, to go back to town. Yeah, I thought to go back to town. Well, I know my dad's up this way, so I can't. I can't go back to town. So your father, his brother, and apparently us now,

fine, I'll go. It's like you do a strange death ritual. There may be some reason to go back to Keish-Shan at some point, but I think for now we should at least investigate something clearly weeds going on. Okay, so, um, She looks at you and says, Well, it's good for you that I know the way,

so let us proceed. And so she continues to lead you. And as you're turning, you are then, you kind of make your way for another half day, and you finally kind of approach this. You see a large rock formation coming up from the foothills and the moors. And I realize it may have described that,

at the end of the last session, so we'll just retcon that. I just got new for a minute. I love the cannon duke. And you see that there is this almost kind of like mesa-like structure that is relatively disconnected from the mountain range, just standing up ahead, almost almost looks like this kind of strange jagged hook made out of natural rock.

And as you're making your way, you can see the movement of the ogres on their great beasts and the hill giants walking around. You can see that the hill giants stop to take the rest quite often and so you're able to kind of keep up pace to spite their huge strides. And you do, however, notice that the sky, there are just little dots in the sky above these.

You see kind of the flapping of wings, kind of flying above them, as if there are some winged creatures kind of tailing these. Do they look like big flying creatures or bats, or what's going on? Maybe a little bit bigger than bats, but definitely not gigantic. But it's very hard to tell from how far you're staying. Jamadie does not want to take you there that close. And so she kind of takes you around these ravines.

And as you're making your way, making your way through, it's about about three in the afternoon. You hear kind of the rushing of another river. You realize that these moors are just dotted with all these rivers going through. You forwarded a few. You waited through some shallows. a few of these, and you kind of hear the war and the one that's relatively close to you.

And as you're kind of turning around like a large cleft in Iraq, you start to hear the sounds of conflict. You hear this low gnashing and splashing in the water, and this and you hear suddenly the voice that sounds like a humanoid. sounds to be like a humanoid, kind of low in paint. And it almost sounds like there's a scuffle and a battle going on probably no further than 80 feet away from you. Can we see what's happening?

You can see that this landscape that you're in is kind of jutted with all sorts of these rocks. So it sounds like you can see the river ahead of you, you'd have to kind of hook around this cleft that you're in to kind of continue the river as you kind of hear the voice coming out ahead. I'm gonna call Beatrice out and just mentally talk with the bird and tell her to take a look,

fly around, and I'm going to look through her eyes to see what's going on. Okay, so you do that. And suddenly, Felix's eyes glaze over in this bright blue and Beatrice flaps up and flies around, taking Pye off into the sky. Felix, you see kind of the landscape shrink beneath you with Beatrice Gaines altitude.

And you see the signs of a battle very clearly. And it's matching up with the sound that you've been hearing. And it seems as if there is a large human male who's slashed across his chest and up his leg, a bow cast to the side. Very large bowl with a mustache. His head is kind of cracked and covered in and kind of looming over, splashing through the river

is a huge, green, ugly creature covered in warts, a long nose, huge fangs, and with these kind of strange, almost fish-like fins and gills and protrusions coming out after him, splashing towards him. And it seems as if this human man is kind of is unable to stand, and he's kind of dragging himself away, and the trolls, like, looking at him. and it's troll.

Oh, what that's that day? It's a river troll. You would probably have learned about a river troll. In your thing, I would say that it would be reasonable for you to know what a river troll is. It is a river troll. Attacking this man that seems to be in kind of in hunting gear, but definitely

completely, as if he's been, his skin is also kind of singed, and a lot of his armor is kind of war away, kind of covering in this strange, light, green, acidic, almost like he's been piqued on. As soon as I see this, I'll snap out of it, and I'll say to the group with urgency, there's a human, he's wounded, he's being attached by a river troll. I think we can make it if we rush. We should go. That is so freaky when you do that with your eyes. There's no time. We talk about this. Like, go, go, get up, down, that I just.

I look all the time, let's go out. We start out. We start sprint and we go out of then. As you're running, as you're running, unfortunately, the landscape is so narrow, and then the river cuts very wide around these two large clasps in the landscape. And so you kind of have to saddle around a side of this cliffside, and you're half in the waters, you're wading through. As you're waiting through, you come onto the scene.

The troll is right upon this human man. His eyes are wide with fear, but, almost kind of glossed over as if he's hit his head or something, and he almost doesn't fully understand what's happening. And the troll kind of, as soon as you just rush out, you hear the loud splashing, the troll kind of. I'm gonna use my feline agility to zoom in even faster and cast healing word on the guy.

Okay, okay. So the troll looks at you as you do this. Oh, I was just say, as we were rushing there, I wanted to warn them to, you know, about the natural assessment. acidic attack of the troll. And to say it's something you need to be aware of. They have a sick digestive juices,

and you just have to be careful. That's all. What's that? And I just start running. God rose back, darling. And I'm gonna run in. So the troll turns and looks at you. And everyone roll for initiative.

But as soon as you're splashing through the water to get there, all of a sudden you sort to see kind of these strange shapes, emerge from the water as you disturb their resting area, as these strange kind of imp-looking creatures just covered in mud, emerge out of the water and they seem to be pursuing you as you're coming upon scroll.

Okay, so I need 20 to 25. 25. Dang. Dang. 25 is a preachy. I don't know what my initiative is. Okay. Who else?

23. 23 is lifting. Okay. Our Dexy boys. What's to do with me? Okay. Oh, 15 to 20? 19.

18. Damn it. Oh, 14. That's what I got. Toa. 18 is Persia. What did you get, Iris? 14.

14 when you get that? I also got a 14 minimum of let Iris go first. Okay. If she'd like. you're able to sprint before the combat starts, and so you're up ahead. You manage to chant a spell to anubis, and you kind of see that shimmering roll come over.

Overhand, we see the wound that starts close up on this guy a little bit. Jamminy is a little bit drunk, so she's totally disadvantaged. Okay, she's just named. He heals from nine points of damage. Nine, okay, nine points of damage. I'm gonna write that down real quick. Okay, okay, River Troll and all of his business.

I'm trying to like, do anything on the app. I'm trying to like see my spellbook. Have I come in here? Is it just like, what? Oh Mike, can you grab the art minis? Oh, yes. That's the one thing we forgot to do. Yep.

Here. Here. So there are minis behind you, right? Oh yeah, he's gonna grab them, Derek, yeah. So you are coming around here, the troll is splashing through the water? Might has her own, so everybody else from crime. Sylvie and Amulet.

You want to move a camera? Oh yeah, yeah. So. Oh, no, we don't need. Maya's got her own mini. Oh. A dwarfy. Where's IRS?

Iris is here. I'll say, like, you're right up here, IRS. Ooh. Exactly. We need jammy. Do we have any like Salazar C spray or anybody else? Yeah, we got tons of people. Grico, they're both goblin.

Bricko's up there, yeah. Yeah, let's just be Grico. A little gabbo. A little goblin. Yeah. Can you try to control the camera? camera and then we'll just place them then who else we go and then we'll just you know if you if you guys can't get where you need to go we can like just

adjust so I'd say you're kind of up here in the front to your I'll say you're here here here I'm fine with this and you guys can adjust it you need to jamming in the back as these creatures are emerging and then where's our friend a friend can we get crummy behind you let's just get crummy for him because I don't know where Salazar is. Cremies is a little more than. He's probably downstairs somewhere. That's cool. So he is right.

He is kind of pulling down a little on the shore here. He is, okay. So it is, oh, I need a real monster. Not cool. To what do you get? 19. I got a 19. First what do you get? 18.

18. Iris, you got a 14. All right. It's one, right? Yeah, feel free to do whatever. Capricier up. I see the troll and I'm ready in my hand crossbow, but I turn to my left and I see these creatures

emerging from the water. What do they look like specifically? Do I get in sense of what they are? They are the strange, strange kind of muddy, muddy river beast. It's nothing like you've ever seen. Do they look like they're going to be aggressive? Yes, they are kind of gnashing at you.

They have these rows of an incredibly sharp teeth, and they have these web fingers with claws on them. They look like they're dangerous. Holy hell, what the fuck are those things? Oh my God. I'll turn, and can I do it? Could I move through these people that are my allies? Yes.

All right, so if I went seven and a half, 15, and then 15. Okay, I think I can get here and hit these three with Thunderways. Okay. So I'm gonna pull out my viol and I'm gonna, brang! I'm gonna hit it with the sharpest of my finger nails all the one blow.

Power cool! And a wave of thunder is four sweeps out from me into the muddy creatures. They each have to make a Constitution savings row. Okay. One, 17. Two gets a 14. Three gets a 19.

The 14 is the only one that fails. So everyone else takes half damage and isn't pushed. But the one that's going to be eight thunder damage to the failure, four to the others. Which one failed? Two failed. Two fails. He gets pushed back 10 feet.

OK. You see Capripe just run up with his viol and do a power cord and a blast of thunderous energy as the viol string just makes this magical amplification, and it blasts these kind of water in creatures and send one kind of skipping along the water like a stone, back 10 feet. The other two are definitely hurt,

but they manage to hold their ground as they're kind of swimming at you in the water. The other two take four, right? Two and one. Yep, okay, it is Lifty's turn. Okay, so I'm going to run up past Iris. What are you? I'm the tall greenish clump. She's the mossy clump.

I'm going to run up past Iris and like do kind of a running kick and try to knock the troll off the troll. How much movement do you have? How much movement do you have? A 15. A gazillion. Yeah. Yeah, you can definitely get there. Just run on next.

Okay, so I'm going to do like a big kick, like a running soccer kick. Okay. Okay. You're running soccer. Okay, no, no, no. Running soccer. Oh, that looked bad. Um.

Pretty dark. 13. 13? That's all right. 13? 13 on the river troll misses. So you run up and your foot kind of slips in the mud as this bank is very muddy. And you miss.

You kind of slide about a foot away from the back of this troll's spine. trolls spine. And unfortunately, I'm going to look around. Top with these solas, and I'll do another, like a spinning kick. I totally so much. Yeah, I also saw, but I was that. 16?

16, that does hit. Yay! Yay! That's the green E20 will work better than the seven damage. And trying to save face, you come around with another kick. And this one does make impact. You have a crack as your leg kind of hits

disgusting, slimy flesh. And kind of how you kick off just like this layer of, not barnacles, but like the river scum and creatures. And it's pretty disgusting. But you do seven points of damage. Okay. Troll, you're up. I would look to, I'm running towards the troll.

I don't even notice those guys. What are you? It's here? Yeah, that's me. So I have six, I have six squares to go. Can I make it? To the troll? To patrol.

If you ran 7.5.15, you could get here and 30. Oh, and then so, and that's a melee range, right? If I can get there? Yeah. That's his time. Okay. I would like to use my bonus action to enter my battle trance. Okay.

And then I will make an attack. You see Toa kind of huddled down and his eyes kind of gloss over with this incredible trance-like determination. Man, he's such a sweet guy, but don't get it mad. It's like 20-something. Oh, yeah, it is. Okay, so it's about 2D6. Ooh, that's really good. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,

13, 14 damage. Holy shit, okay. Your mall, you hear a loud crack as the mall smashes into the side. You hear maybe like one of the root of this troll crack as your mass, the mall smashes into a ton of damage. Okay? And he's not marked by my answer.

Okay. As you can kind of see, as soon as he hits, all of a sudden, these shimmering shapes that look, it's hard to tell if they're really there or not, but they almost seem to be like Goliath just like Toa, but kind of fading in and out of reality, kind of trying to distract this troll. Okay, with that is Herdesbaud.

All right, he's just gonna run up to number one over here, and without her flail. and go for a flail attack. Oh, 13. 13? 13, you run up to the creature, the mud creature? Okay, yes, and you do it. So your Dakota slammed down onto the flash of this creature.

Oh, right. So she's gonna do, fuck me, three bludgeoning damage. To number one. To number one. To number one. She's gonna use her shield master, feet to shove the creature as a bonus action. Okay. So I'm trying to knock it prone.

Okay. So how do I do? What do I do against that? I think that's a contest. It's like a grapple contest? 16 plus the strength? It's a strength or ducks? That would be 17. Oh, that didn't work. All right. That was a fat seven. It's too slippery for you to dock down. It just dies. It dives out of the way.

The old fat son. All right, that's my turn. Monsters 1, as it's kind of looming over both Luffy Iris and Toa, you can see that this large man is reaching for this bow that's behind him, but it kind of looks like he's not really able to do it. His arm is completely shredded, his leg is shredded, he's just covered in this acidic armor.

He's looking incredibly rough. And it's hard to tell. Did he have hair before this attack or not? It's like really difficult, but he's looking rough. And so the troll, however, with all the damage you're doing, it just turns with this hunger in its eyes. And it is going to lean down to make a bite attack against you, Luffy. Lifty has 16 AC?

17 AC? 17 AC? Okay, I'll adjust that. That will hit. That will hit? That will. That will be seven points of piercing damage. as the fangs sinking into you.

He was. Sorry. It's the exact same one. So it still hits. I try. As it's a bite into you. With this dose, guys. With that, with that, it's going to tear a chunk

out of like a lifty tiny body and it's going to swing around to try to hit toe off. I wish when I got damaged, I like was a balloon. And I was just like, whee. We deflaid a little bit. You guys. He swallows air. Let's get some animators on this.

One of the slashes does manage to hit, but the other one toe at your AC, it barely misses you. You able to cut them up. Block one with your mold, the other one that rends across your abdomen. So you'll be taking. He's not disadvantage against me, by the way.

Okay. Just see. 15 points of slashing damage that slashes across you. I'll take it. And then as that happens, you sort of see that where you have kind of done damage, the wound start to kind of close up a little bit. And not all the way though, like,

not all the way. It's okay, it feels coming hot. Okay, with that as our start. Burn it! So I am going to kind of position myself more towards the river. So you just move me in the space of saber. And then I am done... Yeah, I'm just gonna cast

I'm just going to bring my hands down and cast Toll the Den. Okay. And it's a wisdom saving throw. Bring your hands on your kind of a lot of gong off in the distance as he's going to be a with saving throw and he is going to get a 14. It's a 15. 15. And he's been damaged? He hasn't damaged, correct.

Okay. He does not feel. Hey, I know, I believe that's called Troll the Dead. Thanks. And I'm going to be trolled you. Rolls, brr. It's a little bit. Nine damage.

No, now I'm going to make it. I have to roll it. I just try to find a D12. Yeah, it's all right. Wait, it's just, oh. Good. And it's a seven. Seven points of damage.

The troll can grabs its large, fishy ears, and grabs it, and it's still. It's going to keep it's not right. It does hit, though, however. Okay, Felix's your up. I have. six spaces to move. Can I get to the other side of that rock

behind the rock? Like within, and then have LOS on the troll. One, two, three, four, five, six. I'll say you could do it because I just place you, so I mean, it's one square. I'm gonna run behind the rock. Do like a tumbling roll. Line up the troll with one hand,

reach into my coat with the other to channel my spell and cast a scorching ray. Okay. So it's three beams, three, three fireballs. Her ultimate targets within range, but I'm going to send them all at the troll. Make a range spell attack from Dr. Ray. The first one is a natural one. The second one is a 12.

12 misses. Oh, Jesus. And then an 18 plus 7 is 25. All right, that sucked. So I get... Three months better. Yeah, right. So 2.6 on him.

Well, uh... Eight points of damage. Eight points of damage. That was holy. So, um, you, uh, reaching your coat. and extend your other hand, one of the bolts of this kind of explodes right at your palm as soon as it leaves.

But the other two, one kind of arc splashes into the water. One finally finds purpose on the troll body, and it ignites its body, it kind of lets out this roar. And you start to see that kind of where its wounds are, it started to kind of singe and cattle cauterize these horrible wounds. Moreman up. So how much damage with that again?

Sorry. Only eight points. Eight points, okay. Still. Got it. Felix, Monsters 2 turn. So these creatures are going to start kind of just shambling out of the water here.

And then I'm going to move these very quickly. It looks like Warhand Reberman's time. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. We got to play reverm's eye, yeah. So good. He's just going to stay here.

These creatures, which apparently, I think that these icons are the brindylos from Harry Potter, which I've been realized until I've played them. Grimilo. Grimilo. So you can call on that if you want. I did not realize that that's what we do.

Oh, yeah. Those are totally grinned lovels. Yeah. So, the one in the front is going to kind of breathe in and go, and just a huge stream of mud barrels out of its mouth. And all of you in this line, so Caprice, Jamadie, and Herzna need to make a deck saving throw. What's it, this one?

Just the one in front of you, Hersia. Yeah, that one. One, yeah. Is this a spell? No. Nine. Nine. Heria?

Or harmful attack. Oh, I'm only one. Just an effect. Oh, the Dex saving the reaction for no damage if you can see it. I might be able to use shield master on this. Oh, 11? Oh, okay. So, Heria, you manage to hold up your shield as it is completely coated with this disgusting viscous mud.

You're not so lucky. As you completely coated, you are restrained for one. you are strained for one minute. Oh, yeah. As your piece was put it in the sticky mind, Jammini, man, she just dodged out of the way and says, you're not looking too hot there, you're just kidding.

And, and Jamini looks at the Grindylo, and is it like, no, I don't care for this one bit. And she's going to use a bonus action to disengage away behind a priest. She's lost. Is it her turn? Yes, it is. So hold on.

Actually, let me. See what she can do? Sorry, I thought you went. And she's gonna back up a little, actually back up one more square towards you as if there was a square. And so she says like, think the guys I have long fucking arms.

And she takes the bullwhip out, she undoes a bullwhip and with her massive arm from 20 feet away, whips, whips the troll for the imp thing for a sneak attack damage. And that is going to hit. So that's kind of like a melee attack, right? From 20 feet away. Yeah, it's technically a melee attack for 20 feet.

She's Louise. Manchiti's whip. It only works because buglers have crazy long arms. Right. So they have a raging on them. So it's 20 feet. That's nuts. So that will be.

What number is right next to you, Caprize? Sylvia will do. One. You take my arm off and put it on the end of my other one, It'll drag along the ground while I'll do it, but then I'll get 20 foot sneak attacks. On my 1d4. Bullet.

So as soon as this whip flings forward, it cracks this mud imp in the head. All of a sudden, its head just kind of ruptures into mud and then explodes. Oh, wow. Exploing in such a forceful burst of mud, I need both of you to make deck saving.

Oh, you can't. So you're already restrained. So I'm sorry. It's just a restraint. It's just a restraint. 11. 11. And then, yeah, 11.

So I still need to roll at this event. It doesn't matter. It's the same effect. So you get more coated in mud. Oh. You're just extra coated in mud. There's no mechanical difference to this ability. 11?

11. You barely manage this once again. Oh, you can't. Your shield is completely coated in mud. Oh, shield. As, um. And I forgot to do the other two attacks. So they're just going to try to punch you Herzia.

That's going to fail. Another one's going to try to punch you, Herja, that's going to fail. One's going to punch you, Caprice. That is going to hit. I'm going to impose protection so that as my reaction, that's not disadvantaged. Oh, he is. He's disadvantaged. That will still be a 16.

Well, my shields fucking couldn't. I can't give you much else. It's muddy fist. It's muddy fist hits you. God damn. for five points of bludgeon damage. Ah, fuck. Decoded.

Decoded. Decoded. Who is restrained, though? When I'm that distributed, I guess I despise. Hashtag decode. Okay. Off the priest drop. I am up.

You're able to repeat the thing, but can you use the action to escape? Okay, but I, okay. Even if I fail the action, would I still have the moment's action? Yes. Okay. Assuming that it doesn't have anything to do with refrain.

All right, so what I'll do is I'll use my actions to try to un-reprane my action. So that's another dexterity saving pro? I will say you can either use athletics or, I would say athletics check or an acrobatics check to kind of wiggle your way out. I'll choose acrobatics. Why?

Let's cut with 24 on. 24. You just got to shoot your ad. It's so gross. He does this really cool brain dance, and all the mud just flies off. Puberance Hiburates have axi. That's what that would look like.

Tag me with a spoon. I'll see, having seen, having seen, Luffy, Luffy slide on the mud, I'll be like Don't worry, Luffy, to air is Janasi. I know I used that joke last session, but I'm using it again, God damn.

You got this, get ready to rock a troll. Do you have inspiration? The troll once again goes, Ah! It groans and troll. It's amazing. I love it. Okay, with that it is a Lofty shirt.

So you just get an initial D6. Is it a D6? Is it a D6? It's a D6, but you can add it to anything next 10 minutes. So like, attack rolls are just like. Attack rolls are really shocked. But not damage. I could have used it on my attack roll.

Oh, maybe, yeah. Let me look that up. Okay, attack rolls are what I'm hoping for. I like it. I gotta remember to use that mine last session. Totally forgot. I dig it. Oh yeah, but this is that.

The end up. You have to get over there. That's fine. Grones and trolls. Crones and trolls. Trolls do groan. That's fine. Looking good.

This is spicy. Oh, sorry. Okay, I am going to. I'm going to reach behind me, pull my spoon out, and just take a big old swing at it. Ability check attack, Wollton. Your spoon swing towards his troll. Let's see what it does.

That is, okay, 17 plus seven is 24. 24. before hits. Okay. You crack the troll along the side of its face and it's just disgusting like a, like just dribble, flies in the air. As you do that.

That is nine damage. Nine damage to Biggerl Jones. Nine. I'm gonna spend a point of key and do fury of blues. Okay. Gotcha. Still use your bonus action to do the arm's stroke.

So flurry of blue. blows is for, basically you still do the bonus action, you just get two instead of . Oh, that's fine, okay. I'm on how much work. That is a lot. I roll an 18 and a night. Yeah, yeah.

It's not a bad chunk of damage. Yeah, that's, okay, so that is 10, so 14. You fall up with an upper cut in it, and once more the kind of the dribble goes flying as you crack it in the chin. And then I'm gonna finish it off with a bonus, high kick into his jaw. Okay, 14 points of damages out?

Yeah, that was 14. Jesus. And that is, yeah, that's an 11, so that's a no-go. Okay, and your high kick just barely misses it. It finally kind of regains its ability. And it's at this point where the guy on the ground just kind of shugs, pulls himself back about 10 more feet. If you just move a 10 feet away from the troll mile.

You bit the guy, the Cremi. Sorry, one with the little baby. It's not. Yeah, he's running. He's running. So with that, it's totally. I would like to, as a barbarian, attack him again. Say it again.

Oh, boy. That's no, that's no, no, no. You had . You don't know. Well, it's nine. No, no, you swing and you missed the whole stents from this troll is kind of setting you off. So you're off.

Persia is just gonna swing at, or the three that are around me, which one, does anyone look damaged or? Number two looks the most damage. Okay, so I'm gonna whip around and do a flail attack against Dem. Okay. 19.

Yes. And, uh, no, I'll save it, I'll save it. Okay, so this is going to be fat four, bludgeoning game. Slides and kind of graces it, it knocks the back a little bit, but not too much. And then I'm going to also try to knock him prone with a shove for my shield.

That will be 21. Well, fuck me running, so that's a fat 13 while I'm trying. He's too slippery. He's too slippery. They're very slippy, they're slipping. I run it hurt you, you're just standing there. I'm actually dead. So as the troll is kind of,

his mouth is dripping with this, this drool, kind of in its greens and yellows. You start to notice that the wound that have been previously closing up are no longer, no longer doing so. So it is once again going to make, it's gonna make two swipe attacks. On Toa again? Oh my god, we're both horribly missed.

Both horribly miss, and you manage to kind of block both with your mind. and then once again it's gonna lean in the smallest target which it appears it seems to be the weakest target is Lutti He's gonna go and try to make a bite attack on you Lifty and that's gonna hit I'm gonna have putting words that Okay I use my reaction I think let me remember how this works I don't have it written down that's awesome I'm pretty sure it's react yeah I use my reaction and I will tell you as soon as I have it D&Bion all you need to D6 up yeah D&D beyond

what's a range we're not sponsoring But we could be. It's really great. If you're watching. I'm sorry, cutting words, that's going to be, you're within 60 feet, that's fine. So I use the barric inspiration to do it. And I say, I say,

No. No, I actually, I had a joke. I'm sorry, and then I looked at it up. So I, you know that. You know that. This is a tough crowd. Hey, hey, hey.

The troll hears that and whatever cutting words does. Yeah, you subtract, um, is literally my D6. So, you know, subtract my arm. Oh, my. That would make it a 17. Can you take him just one hit? Is it in the troll? It still hits.

It still hits, sorry. Yeah. So it does seem to hear that. but it gets distracted, but it still manages to jump in. Real quick, so the hit that Lofti took, she should have had resistance because of the protector thing. Okay. So can she just have the damage?

Whatever it was. Okay. I'll remember next time. It still hits you Lofti, so that'll do a hot, it'll do a hot, nine points of piercing damage is once again kind of tears off another trunk of you. Okay, with that is ours' turn. So nine point seven.

Nine. Once again, I'm gonna told it at him. Okay. Wait, do I have that too? No, no, I missed, I missed, so. With some saving throw. Oh, I will do that. 17.

Oh, that passes, yeah. Okay, so does something happen? Nope. Okay, so you kind of hear the gong, but it doesn't seem to be very effective as the trolls continues forward. Okay, that would be Felix's turn. I'm gonna try to scorching Ray his ass again.

Okay. You can't scorching Ray. I'm very disappointed myself, and I'm about I'll probably really disappointed myself again. Come on. 14. 14 does hit. Yes.

20. 20 hits. 24. Oh, man. This guy's on. Oh. Now I'm just going to be nine. Plus three is 12.

Plus four is 16. 16. So as all three marks in this blasting array, it is a slashing array. and it's leading out, and as this disgusting smell of burning river troll flesh, as that damage does happen. And once again, continue to call the rise of those. If you could, Maya, just move me up one square

and then one square to your right, and then one more square of your right purpose. Okay, okay. Got it, okay. So Felix, you do that. So once again, number three is going to open its mouth and just puk, puke mud all over you. When you deck saving throws for both Caprice,

Caprice and Herzna out. Jamme is significantly out of the wet. I don't get, like, doesn't affect me for 24 hours. Or, I just have left. 22. 22? You dug out of the way. I want to fool my first word.

So once again, Caprice, you manage gone out of the wet, her shield is not able to help you. You don't raise it up, hide up, and you are restrained, you're coated in mud. Okay, and so then that is going to, number four is going to try to punch you with his fists, its advantage, because you're restrained, that is still not going to be enough, Jesus Christ. And then Juan is going to try to hit Capricci, and that is going to fail miserably as well, unless, wait, 11 does not hit you, right? No, I'm dodging.

And so that's all of their turns. Okay. That would be Jamini's turn. So she's going to look at the lowest one, and she's going to say, Okay, I got you, you the Tainee creep, and she's going to crack her bullwhip. That is going to hit. Getting the sneak attack, right? Yep.

Be careful with that thing, Jammy. You hit me, it'll be a calum. Oh, Jesus Christ. It's full of them. Once again, the bullwhip snaps into the head, and once again, it explodes. I can't believe you've made a duct save on the throat. We'll hurt it you don't have to because you're already restrained, Caprice. Caprici there.

Caprici dare. 12. You succeed, and so you once again dodged the mud as it explodes in its death his death throw there. Okay. How's the guy looking, by the way? Is he just passed out?

He is just away now looking back. He's got some healing. And so he's kind of crawling away, and that's just kind of the main function. Okay, Capricer off. His main function is cool. I'm going to whip out my grape ear. And I mean, and then I'll flash at number four here.

Okay. Yeah. It's going to make a sweet flashing. Uh, natural twist. Woo! I don't remember who we're glad for this week. The sound of thunder, oh. Jesus Christ.

Uh-huh. And that's fine for nine people to sing game. Nine piercing game. Let us know if that deafened everybody was terrible. Number four. That's it, nine? Yeah. Okay.

I rolled a one out of the . You strike true and it pierces some mud kind of spilled out of its wound, but it's still hanging on. Yeah, you're a dirty boy. Lifter, you're up. Luffy, you're up. Okay. I'm going to take my spoon. Okay.

Do another rack, and take it. Two, school. You rack attack. Four. Eighteen. Eighteen. Okay, that hits, yep. That is eight damage, and I would follow up

with the bonus attack throw a bow at him. Okay, how much did that do, sorry? Eight, eight. Okay, your spoon cracks along the back of it. No, crack, you know? Your spoon breaks, shatters. I think that could happen. I hate you.

Why do you make a deck saving throw for like splinters? There are two of me. Oh, my God. No one directed this stream. Second attack. What has clone yet? Miss. Dr. Bobble, I'm CIA.

Yeah, second attack was 13. 13 misses, unfortunately, who's barely? As you, we're gonna go in for a punch in Man to- And is he still chasing the guy? No, he's trying to make you guys, so you made successfully distracted him. Like, he-he-he-ha-h-he-he-hirt around him and stay at his back.

Okay, so you are gonna go, and you're gonna shuffle around him, getting in between the human and control. So you just swing anuline around in between him and then the little cremary guy right there. Perfect. Okay, so it is, it is, who's turn, Tom? You're out. Oh man, I'm going to go to him out. I'm just gonna smack him right in the, I'm gonna like get right in his face, you know, like try to like just, you know, take his attention and I'm just gonna.

I see about the same light. Do you have Felix told me to ask if you have beef or something? Oh, wait, hold on. It responds to you. Wait, did this speak, you're speaking in common? I suppose we're in common. Okay. It goes wrong, wrong, wrong.

You're able to understand it because you'd be giant. I think you're trying. I think you're right. It says, Harry! That's all it says. Felix, I think he's hungry for be.

It don't care. Based on the sound of the vortex, I think he wants cookie. 16. 16 hits. Ooh, five, six. Oh, you shits. 11. 11 points of bludgeoning damage. Oh, did I just not the camera?

Sorry. The definitely says laugh. As you're a girl, as the mall slams in to its side. Okay. With that, it's turn. Persia, you're up. You're restrained. Covered, just is coated in in mud.

Restraign just means I can't move, right? You, I will tell you what restraint does. You'll never know. Speed is zero, attack rules against you have advantage. Your attack rules have disadvantaged. And you have a disadvantage at thexterity tape. You can still attack, as long as you can't move. You're disadvantaged, and they're advantaged on you.

Okay, I can try to break out of restraint with another good side. With an action, you use an athletic check. Burst out. I will do that. Burs. 17. You flex your dwarf muscles and go,

Yeah! You can't get you. Super Dormant Vitality. You can find the link below. We're going to have hurt to super dormant vitality. You can't add. And water filters. Delimore ram.

Okay, I'm going to use my bonus action then, because I just use my action. To pass thunderous smite on Dakota. Okay, as you rip out, you say in prayer in the morning, and then this is this kind of crack, oh, you think. this kind of crackling thunder energy in cases Dakota. And I imagine because just for verbiage reasons, this first time you hit with a melee weapon attack during the spells duration, your weapon rings out, blah, blah, blah, you do damage.

That does not mean it triggers an attack? No. No. It's just so that if you miss, it doesn't waste it. As long as you know, gain concentration. Okay. So it's not let go and attack. It's like on your action if you attack it does this thing.

Okay. See true. So ends, once again, it is following Luffy as you kind of go, as you're trying to distract him. And it's like, trying to make a chop, take a chop at you. And it's going to hit. Golly. It likes Janossi.

It's an error as you say. Oh, I just got it. Nine points of piercing damage. Same time, it's over and everything got it. And once again, it's going to turn and slash to do it. It's going to hit toe at both of these times. Yeah, it's just because my brain is failed.

Oh, he did Rob. It is going to miss, but one is going to hit. One is going to hit. So you manage to block one, but the other one is going to hit. And I will roll the damage for that. Presently. Presently. Presently. Oh my God. Eight points of slashing damage.

Jesus Christ. These dice are horrible. That's four points for me. You know, the dice rolling are pretty, but they don't really well. It's going to be very well. And that is all I can do at this point. This is current moment. I'm pretty sure that's all I can do.

Great. Okay. And it's wounds, once again, after being hit by you feel it's fire. It is, it's, it's healing seems to be the best-died. Ha-ha! With that, it is I was just term. O-P-O-P. Hmm.

I'm going to Toll the Dead. Let's go. Say it again! Toll the Dead! Boo! I will win save and I will get a hot 11. Yay, I can do some damage. Eight.

No, no, no, no, no. That's good. I'm a liar. Three. I don't need to use my modifier. You don't. You don't. No. That's an elder's glass feature.

Yeah, I know. Eventually, eventually, right? Level eight. Yeah. Level eight, yeah. Okay. So you hear that gong and it kind of, and then Toa, you hear, just like,

Mawr with cur, cookies. Iris. Why just tell them? He's speaking in giants. Oh. You wouldn't know that. You would have know that. Iris, you're out.

Oh, sorry. I'm happy to go again. I just thought I went as the troll and he just took damage as his turn. If you were up. I'm gonna cast fire bolt. Okay. Can't leave you to cast fireball.

Tell me about it. I'm gonna have to order more die before we get level five. 14 plus seven is 21. 21 hits. Roll for damage on fire bolt. 1D10. Not fireball. Yeah, that's correct.

Or flamed sphere of fire spells. One. One measly fucking point. measly fucking point of damage. You go, and a little, wee, and this blue. I'm going to be, everybody, she's stormed out, and you see a little,

whee-h-h-h. It's the fly. It's the balloon. It's really, like, P. P. And the troll's like, and still by rules,

his wounds can't fucking heal. Ha ha ha! All you need is wild. I think I'm not going to throw myself. No. It was actually just flicking a cigarette butt at him. That's all it was. So with that, they see Herja, you manage to burst out.

And so I think, oh. Number four is the only one who is alive that can still use their breath. It's going to bleh. Both of you make deck saving throws. I hate those. It's terrible. It's 21. Okay, both of you succeed.

You're getting used to get coated in mud. Yeah. As Herz, you're just going to get two fist attacks on it. I'm starting to like it. My team's getting really soft. One of them actually fucking hits. What are the chances in there? Oh, we got a little concentration.

You're going to get four points of bludgeoning damage. The muddy fist hits you in the face. 17 for concentration. How much damage? Uh, four points. Okay. You can sit like mud on your shoes in one of this or tank. He's like a best one of the rest of it.

It's like really, it's like really, it's just, yeah. Four points. Okay. Uh, with that, I believe that's both the careful. And then Jamme's like, okay, just hold on a second. She roots around, pulled out a bottle of whiskey.

You're gonna set. She's now disadvantaged. This helps. Please don't hit me in the back of my head. Can she move a little over to hit number four? Yeah, right there. So she's gonna take her bull whip again and being a disadvantaged.

She's still gonna hit, holy shit, okay. That is going to deal. Meteor sword. But it's like meat, not meatier. It's a meteor. It's a meteor. Yeah. Yeah.

It's meatier than something that has. It's not as meaty. Is it cloudy with a chance of meatball style? Yeah. Once again, Jenny's let, wuxh, it's close, and it comes in,

and mud flies in your direction. You know, no, like, you know, makes it. She feels out the wind. Yeah. She's pulling a dough. Oh, right? like fight such a medona.

11, barely. If you hold your shield, it blocks the mud. You dodge out of the way, number four is dead. And he's like, are you guys even fucking doing anything? Number four? Yeah, number four is dead. We're coated in mud. That's why you should have 10 foot fucking arms.

And with dead as caprices. Not on my-trueking on the job. Not on my torso. Let's see. What am I gonna do? I'll run up and I'll stab this guy in the fucking space. With a 21 to hit. To hit, no, 20 to hit, sorry.

And that'll be Shmooke. Thank you. That'll be 13 damage. 13 damage. Okay. You stab it once again, kind of some mud oozes out. You do that, and it's looking like it's wound

kind of mud is losing out of its body. Hurd should get over here and finish off this wicked creature. I'm getting really tired of dodging rain. I'm going to take my spoon for an overhead and say, want to play Wacketrol? It seems like the marching ogres and giants have switched from war from war drums to war air horns. Wow.

16 to hit. 16 events. Okay. Oh, that's not good. So that's six damage. And then I will bonus action just give him, I don't know, I don't know, maybe like a shove? Is that a, is a shoved like a, just a.

Shove is a full action. As a, oh, okay. Yeah, it's shoving action into that action. I'll just slap them. Okay. You smack them across the face, you kind of see the chit as you're, as you're putting it in.

All right, and that is a, a lot, a lot, 20, somewhere. Okay. Okay. Dice, because the day is long. That is six damage, and then I'm gonna spend a key. key point, the worries blurs. So who needs to clip this?

I don't say I'm a bad bad. It's obvious. So that is 23 on both of the two arms attacks. Yep. Yep. All right is 16 damage. 16 damage. 16 damage. And then using my drunken technique,

I am going to disengage and move towards the feeling. So after smacking across the face, you just do, boom, one into his chest. Boo, another uppercut, give him in the chin, and he's kind of disorganized, so you take the opportunity to disengaged, or just to walk, wait. To you attack so you can't, so you're not disengaged.

Or you just. Bonus action? That's rogues, right? Or can monks do that as well? Oh, drunken, that's right. Oh, so you manage to just use your kind of, your drunken agility to then just dodge. If you use furry blows, you get a free disengage,

yeah. You get the sense that brother group will be very, very pleased with your, with how well you've retained us. Don't. That's really interesting. Sorry, I keep on to the camera, my phone. I've never said you do anything correctly before. Oh, you know.

I've got to have some more later, huh? Ooh. Okay, Ttoe, you're up. Ooh, I'm going to, uh... I want to try to find where that little fire bolt, like, you did one damage to him, and it's hitting right there, wherever it was. You attempt to do that. I'm not having good luck with Towa here.

Uh... Eleven. Eleven. You... And you miss. It's a rare day when you're rolling that. Yeah, yeah, I know, right? Until I roll back after the character.

Turchai is up. She's going to attempt to attack it. She's got thunder smite going on Dakota. But because it's the first time you hit, that means it doesn't, you don't get thunder smite on future hits. It's just the one time. Okay, so let's see if this works.

Well, 13? It's. It hits. All right. They're very easy to hit. They're not very hard. They're slippery, but they're not. So it's going to be.

be five bludgeoning. Five bludgeoning. No, it's probably a killer. Okay, and then three thunder damage. Three thunder damage. As Dakota hits, it vaporizes this creature, and just a blast of mud shoots out with both of you, please make. Can I try to argue something?

If the cargays a creature must succeed on a strict stary throw, we pushed 10 feet away. There is nothing but mud left. but mud left. There is no strength. There is no strength left. Oh no. Wait, actually, because it's mud, yeah, why don't we say, well, just, yeah, that's fair. You could use the Thunder's energy to block to blast the mud back. I would say an anime would do that. So if an anime, it works in an adventure. I'm going to write that down. And I would say it fails and the Thunder

It blasts the mud back out onto the river. It, you hear splashes. No more, no more splishy, splashy. But it explodes away from me. Okay, with that, it is the troll's turn. Hold on, I get to move. Oh, do you do? I get 30 feet.

So I'll go out there is. I'm gonna pass some of them little ruffles. So fun fact, there is an article in the Wall Street Journal about how ruffles are the perfect snack ever made. Not just any ruffles, the cheddar and cheddar cream. Yeah. You were just too.

Literally in our, they're amazing. They're literally perfect. And if you want to disagree, you're wrong. I don't know why you guys are talking about. I prefer smooth. It's okay to be wrong. You're going to disagree, you're wrong, and that's fine. It's okay to be wrong.

That's all right, you're wrong. So bite on the Lifty. It's gonna hit a gun because I never miss on Lifty. Then it's gonna be seven points of piercing damage. What? I feel classy. On what? Oh, wait, no, it's not.

No, she moved. Oh, Towa, you're fucked. Brigh it on. So it'll hit you, Toa then. I'll read about damage. I was getting my ass kicked, so I moved out there. So he just turns around to the nearest person, and that is going to be a hot 11 points of piercing damage

as it stings into it and is going to do two slices in his claws. Are you down with the ruffles? Oh yeah. Thanks. Very agree. Both of those are going to hit Chowl. And so, they're slicing and nice and- You can't pick the ruffles over there all right.

Not for long. Well, I'm detox and so hard to take the end of all. You're gonna go? Well, no, I'm good. I was hitting that point, where I'm either gonna be hungry to play. I thought about quitting drinking forever, but I was worried at this point that the collective

damage and it's slashing damage. A single slash? Both. Does one feel, I guess, how much was the first one? What? One was 19, the other was, seven. The first one I would like to use Stone's Endurance. Okay.

You feel the enormous filthy claws, ran your flexion, you kind of use your stone ancestry. You use Stone skin, the dwarf racial ability, but you're Goliath, the Goliath racial ability in this game. So I block 12 damage, so I block all the damage at the first one. Okay. So the second one is... So your skin, as you activate your skin turns as hard as stone,

and it doesn't actually continue. actually continue. But the other one slices in, that does 17 more. 17. 18 and 17, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so 70 points of damage. And then once it's finally able to slash you

and you're able to kind of get stabilized, it then kind of grabs you with both of his claws and its mouth open and you were just coated in this horrific puke. And with that, you are going to have to take a death saving throw, please. Oh boy, come on me. I'm like proficient in those. Are you or whatever?

I have advantage on those. What? I have danger sense, so if I can see it, you can see it coming. It's literally in English. Angelo, Measure 20. Got me, got to go. Despite this clause, you manage to kind of step back

and just like the drunk guy is like this, and he just pours it straight down. It's something gets on your boots. But if you even wear boots, I don't know how that works. But you're singles. You decide. Yeah. I decide.

So you're wearing sand, some kids on your sand mills, and it's kind of gross. But you do not get the puke. With that, it is whose turn of that? That is Iris' turn. That was absolutely disgusting. How the Lufty, you don't look so well. And I'm going to go ahead, and I'm going to count, oh, God, he's whining. I'm going to go ahead and cast fair appealing.

Ooh. Ooh. And that's going to be 2D8 plus 5. I'm going to move, so I'm within 3. 30 feet of everybody. So probably towards the middle, a little bit past you like there. You can get there. You're wrong.

Yeah, like there. And then I'm going to do that. And it's 2D8. Was this pretty little that? If you could probably get. Eight. Oh. Probably get the four.

And five. 13. Nice. Hold on. 18 points. Nice. For everybody. I'm in full health.

I just added permanently in my total health system. So. No. Iris took a prayer to Anubis. You hear a, and then talking, and healing. Prayer of healing emerges in the air in papyrus font.

That's the worst. And then Jake Gyllenhaal shows up. It might as well be winged names. That's bad. And you feel, that doesn't happen, but you feel the power of anubis healing your wings. snap out of my vision and then I see what that's like. Wait, was that wing dang?

Is it healing for everybody? Yeah, okay. Oh, okay. So, 18? No, it has to be with a 30 feet right yet. Up to six people, so all of you. And Jamity. Oh, you're like just barely out.

Yeah, I don't think it's, well, depending on, because I don't, I can move a little bit further, so I wanted to move within 30 years. You were here. You can't get everybody. 40, I moved you 5, 10, 15, 15, I moved you 27 and a half. 15, 20, so if you're here, one,

two, three, four, five, six. Yeah, you can't get a problem. Everybody gets healed. Everybody gets healed. The Lord. Everyone sees that. The Lord be phrased. With that, it is used.

Hey. I'm just gonna keep casting fire bolts. Because I don't know what else to do. Reg, grab me one. What are we looking at your? Firebolts. Okay, that's a 22. That's it.

Come on, baby, not one. Three. Three. Is it damage. And this one is, and it's singeing, but it's still doing its work by getting hit by fire. It seems to be kind of reacting with its flesh, and it's keeping it pretty unable to feel.

It's looking pretty weak, though. It's been covered in when it's not been able to heal. It looks kind of confused, but it isn't kind of this beast-oel survival mode. And then I just want to move another four spaces towards the wounded guy, like circling around the troll. Yeah, that's good. Nice.

Okay, Monster 2 are dead. Jamminy's gonna Jammin's gonna look at that and say, I'm not getting your leg brooch, you guys got it, and she sits down and taps the keg of ale and starts drinking. What a bit, she's-a- Caprice, caprice are off.

I can't get that far. Jametie, God damn it. Move your ass! I'll move the 30 feet that I can in this direction. I'll without my eye. I'll whip out my crossbow, and I'll shoot up the troll. Okay. With a bolt of crossbow-like quality,

you pull out a bolt of crossbow-like quality and pull the trigger. Bang, bang, pull-like crossbow. And I'll hit on that, it's like a 21. 21 that does hit. It's literally, because it squeezes bang, bang, pull my down, and it's over it. Oh God, that's a nightmare.

Six damage. Six damage. No way. you pull out your, you pull your devil trigger and the crossbow fly down and hits it in the chest. He's looking very, very wounded. Almost as he almost died, but he's hanging on. Oh, that XPRI!

Okay. Oh, I'm feeling so much better now. So I'm going to run at him with my spoon and just broad sweet, smack him in a face. That, oh, 26 to him. I thought it might. Nine damage. Nine damage.

How do you want to do this? Eight points of overkill. Ooh, eight points on the troll? Yeah. Need one help, though. Um, I rolled a one. What's he like again? I forget, he's kind of fishy and weird.

He's like a fishy river troll. Like it looks like you kind of had like these like, you know, fish man, a creature the block cocoon. Oh, I remember what I was going to say for putting words. Find me a river. The river troll. You can do that enough. She says out.

She says this. She says this. You say this, and the spoon flies in, and just you hear it, it's getting crack as the head spins around, its eyes roll, and it kind of says, I just want it to leave. You hear that, and collapses to the ground. My head canons. Caprice actually said that to Lutti.

And then you said that. Yeah. Yeah. I remember by Jeff? You can use it. Okay. I hope I've got you to pull. Jesus.

Oh, boy. Anyway. Welcome, everybody. It was a joke. I obviously did. I'm not here. God, Brian being friends. Sweatling.

Quiet returns and the troll falls dead. You see this the muddy, there's no real remnants of the creatures that had leapt out of the river to attack you beyond just the occasional smear of mud. The troll, its body horribly burned. It's half into the river. It's kind of like moving as the current is just kind of jostling at. I'll run up to the troll and I'll jump on top of it.

Hey, everybody, I'm butter. I'm not quite sure what that's supposed to me. Because I'm on a troll. Oh my god. Like a roll, but with a tea. Like a dinner room? Like you would spread- Good job, everybody.

I'm going to start looking down. I'm going to see if I can find anything on this troll person that might indicate what it was up to here. Okay. Making Vanessa Gap. Exactly. I don't walk towards the wounded guy.

Okay. I'm going to as well. Okay. I'm going to natural one, four. Natural one, four. You look around, and this troll and just kind of had like this gross, like a leather, loincloth thing.

There wasn't even any gold. You find bits of, like, bone, and like this rotting fish and the like, it seemed as if there wasn't like any kind of hunting. Yeah, I was starting to go through, and I looked under the one cloth, threw up, and then he stopped immediately and left. That's exactly what happened.

That's exactly how it happened. All of you approach this man. He's kind of fallen unconscious, but his wounds aren't as bad as they were when you saw them as he healed. But just kind of the sheer shock and trauma As his hand is about maybe a foot from this kind of curved Curbed bow that is any bow will be curved but a long bow it seems that he was reaching for

I'm gonna medicine check him okay It seems like he's got some kind of affliction on him Okay, this is not a good song 20 20 you look he doesn't have exactly curse like Amos was or anything like that I? I He seems to have been very his arm and his legs seem to have been just horrifically slashed up by the troll's claws.

After seeing this troll in action, you get a sense of, it's pretty easy for you to tell that that's what it was, as well as getting at least one massive faceful of this horrific acidic puke. His one side of his face is hit in a way. You can see that it's kind of affected his bow a little bit, worn away, and his armor is definitely affected negatively as well. I'm going to reach down and I'm going to put my hand upon his chest and

May I know it slide your way into the future darling. I'm going to cure wounds on him. Okay. This one's the eight. No, that's not the eight. That's no, that's a ten, you're right. Well, that's better. Thanks, Derek.

Hey, you're welcome. Hey. Thirteen healing. 13 healing. Once again, the kind of the slashing on his arms, he seemed to be considerably mingled, but they close up there. They were bleeding profusely, and it seems as if the bleeding has now fully stopped. I'm gonna, I'm gonna lean down to his ear and say,

It's time to wake up, sweetheart, because I need you to get the hell out of here. You've had enough of creating friends on the road and have things to do. So you shouldn't go home? I'm right behind her. Hey, hey, what do you mean enough of had? You never have too many friends. Caprice, darling. Thanks for the fall of 666, MPC 666.

I have that strange guy that was turning into like a wall or something. And I don't want that again, so I'm hoping that if he's going to be able to be friends. turn into something. You can run off into the woods and you can do it alone. That turned out just fine. I don't think that this guy, can he speak? I was gonna lean in and say, sir, can you speak? So, um...

They're doing it again, they're picking up more pets. So, uh, he took you. Oh. Oh. You better, you better slow your rope down because I'm going to... Was that a cat jock? Was that a cat jock? You know, no matter of vaccine.

I'm not too bad. I mean, we just blow to troll. Can you speak? Are you alright? What's going on over? I'm going to show that there was the first thing that we met. No cat jokes. Pick up some kinds of big leaf and fan me. No.

Fan me now, darling. Fan me now. I'm going to get very angry. It's a bit she's sensitive. You gotta be careful. You have a 20 charisma. Give a second one. Fan me twice.

Just say I'm trying to help you. This is just the way we talk in that city. You give people shit all the time. It's fine. Are you all right? What's going on? Common is... So it seems like he wasn't fully conscious

but just the loud, um, noise of you arguing, kind of has woke him up, has brought him to consciousness, and you kind of see him, his mustache kind of silcate in his own blood. His forehead kind of got cracked, and he kind of looks around at all of you, and he's just, I need to get a sonora, I need to get a norah!

And then he kind of, he looks around, and he finds, he sees the bow, and he kind of pulls himself and heaves himself up and grabs his bow, and he looks around, and you can keep keeps himself up, you see that this guy is absolutely massive, completely like, he's probably, despite being a human, almost as tall as Toa, and incredibly muscular, and just his motion

of heating himself up, his muscles are just flexing, he's incredibly jacked. And, um. I'm gonna do it very dramatic, my, my, my, my. Just do the slow look up. Sir, try, trying not to move too much. You're wounded. What's going on? What happened? I... I need to save Nora.

My sister. He said sister. So we have a brother, a father, and now a sister we have to save. All I wanted to do is get to drink and sleep in a night bed. Yeah, well, that's still time. Maybe we can take him to us. Don't wait. Where's... Do you have a lot of money? No, no, my family has lots of money, but I...

Lovely, we're going to say your system will go to do it soon. Let's go. your sister? Hold on, hold on, hold on, he's got beat up. Where's your sister? Well, it's not as beat up anymore. And what's your name, friend? My name is- His name is Nora, he already told us. No, that's a sister's name. Well, his name is probably also Nora. I'm gonna assume she's come to some kind of a explorer. Jesus is correct.

I'm a medal explorer, I'm a hunter. Champagne's canceled, everybody go home. Bernie's a hunter? He tries to stand, he comes to stand. He turns it kind of I'll try to help. I mean, I know I'm weak, but I'm trying to grab him and help him up with me. Can I'm letting chicken disadvantage?

Oh, that's where I'm not even proficient. Oh, wow. Let's go with 12. 12. You try to kind of get him up, and you get him to his feet. He is completely massive. You feel your kind of limb shaking, and he collapses on top of you.

I go over and try to help him. You are now covered in his blood and troll puke. Nora's brother's blood. I didn't catch his name, did he tell us? Do the map, a map, can you show me the map? Well, hold on, let's get him to his fee, and Capricci stopped trying to... It was actually Adora, the Explorer joke, but it's fine.

Oh, I haven't heard of Dora. She's the Explorer. Anyway. Isn't it an Explorer? No, the Explore. Anyway. We'll talk about it. I think it's an accent thing that I just add it to the list of things. Can I try to...

I have a list. I have a list. I see her reach down and I grab her hand as she's trying to help up this guy. It's a natural one. And I have a plus four. I love it. Survive. Capricche kind of heaves it up and you're like, oh, no!

Actually, Capricch, you can stay down there. I need to learn your lesson. He falls back on top of you. Can I go recess, lift them all up together? Make an athletic check, please. Oh, God. I really want to pose a disadvantage. He fucked it up.

Eleven. Eleven. Toa being Toa, you managed to get him. Caprice and Hersia are on the ground, covered in troll puke and blood. But this gentleman managed to finally get up. He puts a hand on your shoulder as I knock this initiative card off.

And he says, and he kind of grabs his leg and you realize that there's some crazy business that was shredded in his leg, and it's difficult for him. He's kind of gripping your shoulder, and he says, I thank you, friend. My name is Nestor Warren Strongarm, the Third.

Let's write that down. Nesta has a really terrible name. I don't say it's a wonderful name. It's an old family name. Warren, Strongarm. I'm the third in my line. I didn't, don't know if you knew that that's what that meant. So you're making fun of me, my father, and my grandfather.

Well, honestly, if all the names were Nester, I would find with it. Nester Warren's from on the third. It's a pleasure to meet you, Nestor. Do N names rule on the family tool because your sister's name's Nora and your Nester? Like, was your mom's name like Natalie or something? Oh, yeah.

You know, I never really thought about that. I think about names all the time, so, you know. Well, I suppose so. Can we help you? How can we help you? Yeah, your leg looks awful. Why don't you take your pants off in my place? You'll take a look and I'll just observe. It's nothing I'm going to see. It's great.

Roll for choices. No, no, no, no, no, no. It feels just like... As a proposition as that is, how about you keep your pants on, you just roll up the leg? Oh, go on my car. Oh my god. Oh my god. That's six. She's very...

He looks like he might be a manhole, but then Iris kind of was like, okay. coming on way to his garage. He leans up against whatever boulder's there. My guess, darling, has been a long time for her. Long so long to do my sink. Oh my god, Felix! What? Let me look to a nice, baby.

And I want to inspect his wounds and see what it would take to get him to like where it needs to be. He heaves against a boulder. He pulls up his pants, like much to Lufty's chagrim. and you can chat. And it would be, and that's beautiful, right? 25. 25. You think if you probably do a bit more healing,

you could probably get him, maybe not in fighting shape, you get the sense that he'll need a bit of time recover of a fighting shape, but at least being able to walk. Well, darling, I would have to expend a little bit more of my energy to make him feel and make him properly. I guess he's kind of maybe royalty, which makes me feel a little bit kind of a hindrance bit to him, but his name is nested. It's disgusting, so much for what to do.

Yeah, you know, I don't think it's wrong, because you're never wrong. True. But, you know, he's very tall, and is he handsome? Good, are you really? I assume he's handsome. Look, I see. It's very difficult to see what can be covered in blood and trope. He showed his face, but like, without the puke.

Imagine what that would look like, sitting across the table, a fine restaurant, him buying you dinner, me stealing the bites off the side. That would happen now. Do you want to sleep with him? I'll do it for you because we're friends. I'm going to get you. Everybody has that.

We're a friend. She said it. I'm going to cast another peer wounds on him. How was this guy dressed? He seems to be in very fine hunting leather. 13 points of healing. 13 points of healing.

You focus on his leg and you feel like he's kind of grinning his teeth from the pain as his as like the tendons and the like that had been slashed and basically unusable are now starting to fuse and he's able to kind of stand up straight.

He kind of puts some weight on and he says He's wearing fine clothes. So nothing military, no, nothing that I can spy that would be. I would say it's very obvious that he's not wearing a uniform. It's as if he's wearing very fine hunting leathers, maybe a bit heavier than you would expect for like someone going on the hunt, but it looks like it was a very fine. There's some kind of like there's a velvet outfit underneath the leather and there seem to be some kind of family crest emblazoned on leather as well.

Mike, you would have, would I recognize the crest at all, like, from a local place? I would, why don't you make an intelligence check and see if you would. And while she's doing that, shift my S5, would like to make a request from you that at some point in the session, in honor of mayo, that you can use the word papaya somewhere in the session. We'll see what happens. You said a... I guess you have to do around the end.

Stay tuned. Yeah, you just have to stick around. Yep. No one's saying. I'm dumb as a brick. I rolled up by. You have no fucking clue. It's just air up there.

You have no idea. To air. What an air have. Oh. Nestor, are you from around here, or if you've journeyed along to find your sister? Where is she? What do you know? She is very brave and headstrong,

and she headed to put us bluffed. To... How convenient. I know, it's almost like we're playing Dunsons and Dragons. And there's a few motherfuckers are really... Almost. Oh, you know what guys? I'm getting kind of tired, but we should have a huge time.

Just kidding. It was really delicious. However, what I'll say is that's very serendipitous. We also were sort of making our way towards the bluff, but we also wanted to sort of get some recon on these ogres and hilljohn. and hill giant, we ran into you, fortunately, that we did. Yeah, be darling, you'd be dead. I know, and I owe you my life.

I thought it would be wise to find my sister by myself, but. Nobility. That's why I take you. I kept the river to avoid that. And he points over, and you see the, once again, the kind of marching line of the hookers and giants. It's still going.

It's like one of those long trains that just fucking you have to wait 15 minutes for it. And so you're basically keeping pace with that, more or less. We'll stop signs down. Thanks to Jammini's shortcuts and the like, you're able to actually, had you been taking the road, they would have definitely passed you. But thanks to Jammini's shortcuts, you're able to kind of keep pace over. Are you aware of what that gathering of creatures is? Do you know what's going on? Do you have any information?

No, I don't, but I know. Nora was very concerned with things that were going on. they were going on in Butcher's Bluff, and she was going to put a stop to it, you see. I come from a line of hunters. We hunt giants, and I should have been able to take the troll, but he caught me by surprise while I was fording the river. So you're saying that your sister is out there alone? She's alone, and I don't know how far she made it. Yeah, is she as big as you? No, quite the opposite. So you're saying you let your sister go off by yourself? She's far stronger than I am, don't? Don't be fooled by size.

You should know that more than anyone. Well, yeah, but I mean, I didn't want my dad going off by himself and then he just, you know, disappeared. But does she give you any sort of notion that she was going to be doing this? And to be fair, for what she likes in heart, she makes up full and weak. So that kind of balances it out.

In three things, yeah. No, I've posted over there. He ignores you. She's an impressive strength is all I'm saying. She's white than she is told. Yeah. It was like really shitty. Nora may lack that feature.

It kind of looks right. He looks right. It's very uncomfortable. Nor may lack that feature, but she's far stronger than I am. She always has been. How long has it been since he saw her last? Was it just as you were about to forward this river, or was it a few hours ago?

No, a week ago. Oh, a week? Oh, my good. Oh, darling, she's probably dead by then. No, I know she's alive. She's far stronger than that, but I know that she would have returned to the lodge far, far sooner had she been successful. So I, no one else in the lodge was concerned,

and I had a bad feeling, and with all the goings on in the mountains and the hills, I had to take it upon myself, turn it down. Do you, um... Is you crying quite glad to do I get a sense of how old he is? 20, he might be. Why don't you make an intelligence check? That would be fine.

Darling, how old are you? I'm. I'm just about to say. 18. 18. ASL, ASL. He seems to be like about his late 30s. And so knowing, having observed that and having not heard this,

no, he looks at you exactly. I'm 38. That's not. Is that in your only number right? Is your sister younger or older? Do you have any other siblings? She's younger than I am, but unfortunately due to her. Well, not unfortunately, I'm very proud of her,

but she's now the family heir due to her abilities. Wow. That's a little embarrassing, I'm sorry to say. You don't have to tell me that. Well, listen, Master, can we walk and talk? Are you capable? I would hope you. Hold on, let me.

She was an offensive question. Well, if he's not the heir, then, you know, if there's doubt. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to, I'm trying to and struck a lot. He passes for it. I actually think, thanks to you, fine. Her name's Iris. Iris.

What are your names, friends? You've saved my life. I owe you mine. So sorry. My name is Capriccio de Sesto. It's a pleasure to meet you. You can call me Caprice. This is Herja, Iris, Lufty, DeFee.

in Sintoa. Thank you for doing that very concisely. You miss one. I said her job. Donning, she's also got a mace. She calls it Dakota. It's not real. Well, yeah, okay, so yeah, this is Dakota, but I was referring to. Yeah, this is a sentient weapon.

If you've ever come across something like that. She's right, we have that. No, I, of course. Everyone has come across a sentient weapon. Back there, sipping on that whiskey, that bug bear there, her name is Jamadie. She's something of a Quite a calamity.

Exactly right. Oh, we've been hanging out together. Jinks, you owe me a healing potion. No, I don't. I don't. I don't do shit, Caprice. You hear a voice say, It's so stupid one thing.

Are you talking to me? No, no, no. Darling, we're talking about you, keep drinking. That's fine. That's right, Lou Bess. And then she continues, she continued drinking. But she's really, sorry. She's horrible.

Herge's question is relevant. We're actually all looking in some ways for family. The Afeelis has a brother that he's looking for. We're looking for Hurj's dad. We'd be happy to just throw your quest onto the pile if you can make a look. It's almost as if there's fiends in a narrative. I would very much welcome the assistance to Purch's Bluff.

Well, we're on our way there. What's your sister tracking down in Butchard Fluck? What are we up against? She said that the that the boulder mall, I think that's what I wrote down here. The boulder mons is that on the parchment of your neck? That's in the back of my neck. What do you say? Oh, is that a journal is the best way to keep your thoughts in check. Oh, hold on, let me pull out mine. He pulls out a large leather journal

with the same crest on his arm. I mean, all of us who are experienced with giant kin are very familiar that the boulder mall and the rot gut do not like each other. And them joining forces lately is very concerning. And the things that they've been doing, the disappearances, the raiding is my sister is a woman of action. She does not care for finding the best solution. She prefers to shoot first and ask questions later. Well, we, since we're going in the same direction, when you want to join us, if you can walk,

you can at least walk with us, and then when we get there, we can help you look for her. I'm sure you're aware of how dangerous this will be. We'll do our best to protect you, but we can't promise. It doesn't look like you're ready to fight yet, but you're more than welcome to tackle all. Well, I may be not great in fighting now, and he kind of, he tries to like lift his arm,

and he winses, and he says, but if I will gladly join you. I am not, I may not be as strong as my sister, but I am not a coward. I would gladly join you, and hopefully we find her and whatever you are looking for and get to the bottom of this. Would it help if we sat for 15 minutes and sort of give you a moment with your leg? Maybe anyone else might have mechanical benefits from such a rest.

We would like to take a short rest. That sounds great. I too would like a moment with my leg. There you go. I'd be happy to you. I'll sing you a song. I can sing a song for everybody. While that's happening, if you have any idea of where we're headed, just talk to Jamity. She's our guy. She knows how to get around pretty quickly. But if you have any idea which where we might want to start looking, it'd be best to let her know. He looks over and he says, you brought a bud bear with you.

Brought, eh, joint, it's weird. It's a good thing. I don't understand. You have a lot of alcohol to show us the quickest we're there? Have you slept next to her? She smells quite putrid, but yes. I trust her implicitly. And she hasn't cut your throat. No, as long as you keep supplying the alcohol to her,

I'm sure she'll be just fine. She's fine. She's very pleasing sometimes. Similar to yourself, she owes us a life debt, so there's no reason to fear. Dakota will let you know if you're in danger. Well, I'll go talk to her. He pulls his bow off of his back and pulls an arrow out of his quiver,

and he just walks over. If he threatened her, I will take away from her. I will not threaten her. I just prefer to be armed around Goblinkin. I'm close by. No, I'm pretty sure she, she is a bugbear. She's related to like butterflies or something.

No, she is Gobbling King. No, like mosquitoes. Her name is Jim, Jiminy. Yeah, like Jiminy Cricket. Jaminy. Jamitie. Yeah, Jamitie Cricket. I will go talk to her and hopefully.

We'll compare notes from our journals. I'm going to stay close by, and I can mediate if I need to. Okay. You go do that, so you're left alone out of your shot if you like to discuss away from your You're getting short rest yes I'm using my fucking arcane Plenishment bullshit are you seeing this a song I was going to think but I'm also like concerned about the interaction between damnity they have a discussion and it starts to he's kind of tense and then once like he realizes the jammany just like I don't give a shit Okay, he kind of calms down

He does a little bit of on edge like as if he's been trained to be very wary of of goblin can, especially goblinoids, especially bug bears, but there's no tension or threat. So you feel like you'll be able to go and sing a song that everyone will hear. I pull the viola out and I put an arm around as much as I can the shoulder of this great beast of a man. And I'm like, I'm really sorry to hear about your sister, Nora.

You know, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun right to cry crying let's the sad out of you it's all right to cry it might make you feel better rain drops from your eyes oh there's still goes oh there's more if you use a hit guy you can get it up to somewhere else got a one d6 on top of your That's really good. That's very good. That's very good.

That's very good. As you do that, he kind of, he sniffs and like, it's very difficult to actually see his mouth moving from his mustache. He kind of... Oh, he's a mustache. He's a very large mustache. And you can see that there is a... There are raindraud. He kind of turned away, and he like...

He kind of wipes away some tears after... It's the most beautiful music I've had. wonderful music I've ever heard. It was a very nice singing. Yeah, no problem. No problem. Yeah, he doesn't fucking shut up with that stuff. You know.

No one on there? You know prostitigation? No, I don't waste my time with such trivial.

It's called Tahua Maturgy. To whom? I mean, to who? I mean, I'm covered in mud. What a wonderful phrase? To whom are maturgy? Jamming. Ain't no passing phrase.

I ain't no well-read person, but I think it's fucking to whom. Ain't no passing praise. It means no worries. Okay. What I'll say is, I'm glad that you know what I was here. Yeah, I know it was a minute to get into my brain. Well, I guess I will just put myself off in the river

because I'm covered in this disgusting mud. You guys didn't have to deal with the nastiness. Let me tell you. The troll smelled bad, bud. He wasn't nothing but the mud feeling. I was watching him, though, and looked awful. It was really... And it was just disgusting.

Look, I can clean you off, but I can do this, and I use tomaturgy to make my eyes like a lot. to make my eyes like a nice bright gold. Does that at least me feel a bit better? They match by jules. You don't have any pupils. You're like me. Yeah, the beautiful and goat.

I mean, it's beautiful, yeah. You're still disgusting. That doesn't not me at all. There's a follow not even square. Thank you. Well, I'm sure we'll find out. I see them all trying to clean up, and I just look over at my shield.

I start licking and clean. You just hack a lutee on it. You just start wiping it. It's good, and you just keep spitting on the, you just see her just spitting all over her shield and wiping them away. You start making me the thing. Yeah, that'll do. I mean, this is, come on, you're giving me a Woody.

Look, I'm ready to continue, but only because I can't be seen in public with people who are dirty. But please keep the Woody face towards the back. You can't talk like that. So how do we end up with these idiots? Do we still want to keep going with this? I want to move forward. I'm having second foot. Honestly, this has been an eventful last like 10 minutes. Do you want to be late too?

Well, if you're over. This is out of control. Nestor, Mr. Strongarm, I want to apologize. This is, this is, I would like to say this is out of the ordinary for us, but it doesn't appear to be so. Well, at least I guess it never gets boring. Yeah, that's one way to call it. That's true. We can, uh, let's continue our way up this half.

I'm feeling much better. Jamini, could you lead us onward? Yeah, no, I think I've had enough to drink around on top of my game. Yeah, I trust this. This is fine. Hello, Jack. No, no fucking wise comments from you, Hornboy, the Woody boy. And, uh, she, she leads the way. You have to slow your role a little bit, given how Nestor is definitely able to walk,

but he's not able to go as quickly. as you have been able to go. As you make your way through the moors, getting closer and closer and closer to Booker Bluff, you see that this large rock outcropping, if you'll kind of imagine, like,

like an evil version of Pride Rock and the Lion King, that's kind of the gist and it's shaped like a hookup. Oh man, Scar must be in charge. Yeah, there you go. Did she just call me Scar? No, no, I just was talking to myself. You mentioned something.

I'm in charge. I don't know what was in charge. You know, let's just continue on. So you arrive to about probably a... It approaches like into the night, eight. And so the moon is large. It's despite it being on a gloomy day, this is one of the first days

where it hadn't been raining in a while. And the clouds are kind of parted and the moonlight is kind of illuminating this large bluff. and you can start to see, yeah, you can start to see that there is, there are bits of fire just kind of dotting the mountainside and dotting this large bluff area.

And it seems as if, however, despite the, there being activity in the, on the bluff area, it seemed as if that the main marching force of these ogres and, hill giants are heading towards a pass through the mountains. And you can kind of see the large Krollum Mountains, snow-capped, relatively unforested. And you're able to see that there are, the mountains are pretty,

are fairly treacherous, and they're fairly close together. However, right behind this large Butcher's Bluff, you see that there is basically a gap where there seems to be a relatively less treacherous past the mountains, and it's seen as if this is where this large mass of ogres and giants

are heading. And so it's night. You see it. You're probably... Jammin comes up to you and says, well, I figure we can get... there and start making our climb by approaching midnight or we can camp out and storm during the day. Is that the bluff there? That's it, look at that thing. Hook's bluff.

It's a hook. That's why they call it back. I thought you were lying this whole time. To butcher. I wouldn't blame them. The butchers in neck better, not speaking for every continent, they use cleavers. I was expecting a mountain made of hooks, cleavers, not hooks. Made of cleavers.

Or like, look like cleavers. Oh yeah, no, it doesn't, does it look like a cleaver at all? No, it looks like a hook. That's why we're having this conversation. Why do you keep asking the sky? Questions randomly. Does it look like hook? Oh, are you writing a song?

Oh, I'm sorry. Does a butcher have with the hook? I mean, the hook is a really important part of the song. I mean, I don't know fucking butcher, but I'm pretty sure they hang their meat on hooks. That's right. They hang their meat on hooks. That's what butchers do. We don't have hooks on Makami islands but I would assume that around here they probably do that. Then why you have your hook around your neck? Well we use hooks for other things. But you don't have them on your island. But we don't have like we don't hang like if we hunt a ball, we don't hang on a hook, we just eat it.

That sounds like a lot more effective than hanging it on hooks. Yes. Sorry. brings you back. Yeah, this is a good song. I'm a DM. So now we use hooks for catching fish. Catching really big fish, like sharks,

catching small fish. I don't think sharks are fish. I was actually going to say that, yeah, or not. They are, they actually are technically fish. Yes, they're very big fish. I don't think they are. I don't think they are. I think that might be something

we want to put on the list next to what constitutes a pair of dogs. We can table it for now. I'll pray to my fish, shark spirit. And she'll tell me, or he'll tell me that he is indeed a fish. We can revisit this. It's part of a long spring of conversations that we've been putting off for some time. I've been probably for the first three of days.

I have a list. We'll get back to them. We'll get back to them. Fish, a fish. But anyway, as Gemmati was saying, I do think it's sleeping tonight and dealing with this in the morning. I think that was Gemmati. It was how the Gemini? That was my idea. That was the options. Wonderful. I think sleeping and doing it in the morning is our best bet.

The last thing I want to do is do this in the midst of the night, whenever the huge and named person. Okay, and I slammed Dakota down. She, like, like, concaves the ground around her. Now, I'm not usually one for caution, but if it's, there's not a lot of trees in color. If we go through things, they're going to see us go? Well, if we go during the night,

we're going to have to have a torch, because I'm not a short about you, but, like, I'm not positive that everyone can see in the dark. like a kid you have You can go first and I'll hold your tail because we're friends, you said it We are. That does be not to go first. Power can hold on to me.

That's fun. It'll be a chain. Like a human centipede. Yes, just like it. It's a great allegory. Is it an allegory or a metaphor? What's the difference? And then Toy can use his hook to

hold down to someone else. You make a good point about us being visible during the day when there aren't any creeds up there. But how warm is it, cold is it? It's chilly. We're not going to be able to make a fire without being noticed out here. It's going to be difficult to camp.

It's a little uncomfortable. So what you're saying is we should all just huddle together like a dog pile, a peck of dog pile. I'm not quite a fan of a pack of dogs. You can sit on the top and make the biscuits. Well, I'm gay. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, we can play Tail Wars in the night. I don't know what that means.

The use is really scary. You know, I've seen some really weird stuff in the last few months, and this is still the strangest conversation I've had in a long time. You people are just... I don't even know what to make of this. Look, you talk to birds. Correct, I do. I do. I didn't say I wasn't weird as well, but this is just another level. It looks like we've found Kind of Spear. I think sleeping in the dark is fine. We have ample protection between the two of us and all of us, and I think it's dangerous to travel at night, especially if we only have one or two people who can see without any sort of light source. So I'm fine with staying. I just, I hate losing the time,

and I think that Capriese makes a good point about traveling during the day. It's a no-win situation. Jammini, what do you think? I mean, you know this area better than we do. You know what we're up against, at least a little bit more than we do. Well, I'm really fucking sneaky no matter what time of day it is. Sounds slew.

and I don't know if y'all y'all can't see him got to light some big torch they're going to be able to see us coming a mile away at night can you see in the dark that ain't even a real fucking question big time well how do you do it I can't see you I mean like I'm in my eyes because she like steps in the darkness she goes like completely invisible basically when you see like her her her uh her golden eyes kind of just catching the very faintest of the moon well Very, very impressive. I gotta give it up to those people. You gotta give it up. You can't do that.

I can't do that. I can't do that. I actually go and stand next to her and I try really hard to do that and I just start clearing at everybody. How do I look? Can you see me? Well, we can see you pretty much straight out. Oh, well, I tried.

Even if it would pitch black darling, I could see you. You look fine, huh? You look nice. You look nice. Maybe we rest for the night. Maybe we rest for the night, we get up before daybreak tomorrow, and we get an early start. Yes, I think that's far. I think that's a brilliant idea, that's right?

I think we're all kind of just to make sure that we're all, you know, let's get plenty of raced, make sure that we can let them get ahead of us. We're gonna tackle that whole world band, and I think that if we wait a little bit, it's actually better, right? I mean, I'm just shocked, shocked that we're all getting along and agreeing on something. So let's sit down. Just sit down. Shut out.

Okay, let's have a long range. Normally I would argue with him. Just out of habit, but I actually agree with that. Well, then, alright. Well, let's all jump into a big pile. And now we'll climb on top and we'll all gobble just leave there. Whatever the range is on Dakota, I'm going to, I'm going to ritual cast a warm kind of next to it to give us a wider spread of area detection.

So you get like, you double up and you do the vet diagram. the Venn diagram of like a full and oblong campsite. Cool. So you are all now having a larger campsite and you're all able to enjoy a little bit of security as you prevent from lighting fire. Make a priest. I call my ukulele.

You want a jam? Do I get the sense that sound would be bad in this situation? You're very far away from the bluff. Hell yeah, buddy. All right, I just tell me which chords to play. I'll back you up, ma'am. I take out my go horn and I go, I'm just rolling around in the dirt. I have a go-go-go-by-way, I think it's called a big bag, gopull.

I'll play with them all right. Uh, Jamies said, like, hey, that doesn't sound half as bad as that other. Should you play that fine? Nesser looks at everyone as well. If Nora has perished, then she wouldn't perish by now, so I think we should all be in our top fighting shape before we headed there. Completely agreed, and if she's still alive tonight

and she dies at 6 a.m., then you know that was fate. It's true. That is true. Good to come out. Come out? Don't love it's a secret. Inception! So, what's the locked order? Sleep.

Yeah. I'll take first watch. I'm going straight sleep. Okay. On top of the watch. On top of blue stage. Nestor's high-up. I'll take second.

Felix, are you going to run if I'll wake you like? What I'm done? Yeah. Nestor, you take third. I'll wake you about. I'll take third watch, yes. I'll go last. You could hear you. I'm almost blacked out now, if I'm going to sleep.

Jamety just collapses right next to where her was and curls up. this strange, bizarre, looking like cat creature, and falls asleep. And the night, for those of you, taking watch, is dark. You hear the, you see that each one of you that wakes up for watch, besides Nestor, of course, he's an NPC.

You see the movement of torchlight kind of going around on this large bluff and into the foothills, and you start to see that, that overnight the torches that are lit seem to be kind of gathering in this parting between the two mountains where the pass is. And you all enjoy a long rest. You wake up to a gloomy day. It is not raining. It's not raining. But there's kind of a moisture in the air almost. You kind of kind of feel like it's going to open up. But it's cloudy, completely overcast.

And just the sun is, you can kind of see the dot of the sun shining through the clouds as the sun has risen. And you enjoy the long rest. And what are you going to do? I'm getting my spell slot back is what I'm doing. I'm still afraid. With D&D Beyond, it takes two quits to long rest. Or one eraser.

What about your? And then you smear your graphite all over your sheet. It ruins the paper, it rips, and that just sucks. Anyway. I find it's pretty kind of 20. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. I'm still asleep.

Nestor, you feel a large hand on your shoulder. Wake up, friend. Caprice. No, well, Capriets. You want to be a cowboy. I want to get up a little early and go to the river area and fish up some fish to make breakfast. Okay. There's a nearby creek.

I'll just say you're easily able to do that. Why don't you just make a quick dexterity try to see how many fish you get and how much you're able to taste. Becoming natural one. You should have kept the cock. Shouldn't we know. Words to live by.

Naturally. What did you want me to do? Dex. Dex, oh. Or no, survival, survival. If there's a difference. Eight, you manage a pie catch enough for you a lot, date.

Perfect. About two people. I'll eat all of them. Okay. So you, you see, uh, you see, uh, Iris walking back to camp with a fish in her paw and wanted her mouth like an anime, like, y'all. Yeah, like the mouth. Yeah, exactly.

And then the two little teeth comes down. It's like happy from fairy tale. I grew up for my pack and split it with tow. Okay, okay. You all enjoy a hearty breakfast and, uh. I do not eat. I have not a breakfast, I am breakfast. He's like, one character loves Dreckes, the other carrier hates Brethren.

I'm the Lord of . I'm the Lord of . I'm a little bit. As you do that, Nestor's kind of reaching down into his packwood that he managed to salvage from the battle. And Jamney, you see her staying there and she kind of beckons you over away from him and says, Big fella over there looks like he, you know, he can walk, but I don't think he's in fighting the shirt. think he's in fighting shape. I agree.

Should we tell him to stick around here? I mean, yeah, his name's not strong legs, so I would assume that he can't fight on that thing. He can probably just hang back. Do you think that he can travel at the same speed over land? I mean, we had to slow an awful rock down to accommodate his bum leg. That's true, that's true.

Should we ask him to go back and trust us to find Nora? I mean, if I were him, I wouldn't. I probably wouldn't do that. I could maybe work a little bit of the weed magic in order to convince him of that, but I eat to use magic in times of family-oriented things like that. I agree. Jamminy, did he tell you where he thinks his sister might be? I think all he said was in the bluff.

I mean, he said that he assumed that she was as high as you could fucking get. Where they got those big sons-of-bitch ogres up there with the titles. You should probably, you know, ask him what Nora looks like, because all we know is that she's not wide like me. That's how we know about her. She's probably screwed. I slot my wife. She's not as wide as him.

You can hear it from miles away. A thunderous spite, bars. She's not in size. Thunder a thigh. I gave it up for thunderous. That is how thunderous mind. That is how thunderous mind. is going to happen from now on.

By clap. I like this. There you go. All right, we made a frame. It requires a semantic component, right? Well, I'm sure, she won't have as much of a feminine figure as I do. And she like, does this.

Awkwardly. I throw up nothing because I didn't eat breakfast. Just got it. And she says, if we find some skinny chick over there that's still out, we're dead, that's probably fucking hurt. That's true. You're probably right.

I someone has got to talk to Norbert. So I get up and I start looking towards it. I'll follow behind and chime in if I feel the hurt just making a case properly. I slap him on the back. I don't know what shoulder is wounded, but I'm just like, how ya doing? Sorry.

Thought you might have felt better after that nap, but not here too. You're okay. I'm totally molded by a trove. Yeah, we saved you from that too. No, I appreciate that. No, you're welcome. You're well.

That's fine. That's all good. So, you know, we talked a little bit about looking for Nora, and, you know, we don't really have an idea what we're looking for. So if you wouldn't mind describing her to us, so we know what we need to keep an eye out for. That would be good. No, I apologize for neglecting. She is a little bit taller than you. Most people are.

Blonde, very blonde. As blonde as I am, he kind of strokes his mustache that's been cleaned off a bit. And she'll have a very impressive-looking longbow if she still is armed. And she is... If she's still alive, you'll know that by her sour disposition, who she is. Lutty darling, did you have that part about an impressive-looking longbow? That's like the right of your alley. isn't it. I'm putting it on your radar, fine.

What does that mean? I think it's a penis joke, but I'm not sure. His sister is that on? Oh, we're talking about your sister, never mind, darling. Take it off of your radar. She might be ended it, though. She might be ended it. That's fair. No judgment from us. Yeah. We don't king.

It's a trap. It's no wrong fun. No wrong fun. I'm not. I see to the Dojo. Yeah. What, um, uh, uh, What we've been discussing is if you were to either stay here or tell us where you'll be and make your way, given your injury, I'm not sure you're up to fighting form.

And we could save your sister in the same way you saved us. Or we saved you. I think I can fight. He reaches out to pull an arrow out of his quiver with his left enemy. MVP. I suppose you're right. Yeah, I'm sorry. That long vote looks like a long note today.

I'm sorry. Pass a good one for free. That was good. I laughed a little inside, though, not on the outside. Just work on it a little bit more. I thought it was very good, and I think you're right. Can you make a persuasion shot, though, real quick? You need to see exactly how persuasive.

Uh, 21. You're very persuasive. He looked, and he says, I suppose you're right. I would not have wanted to be. I would not want to slow you down and get anyone killed or even be responsible for the inability to save Nora. But I don't want to be a coward. Well, I think the brave choice here is admitting when you are injured and then making your trusting in others.

Both of those require a lot of bravery. It's okay to be slow. It's okay. Well, you make a strong case. I suppose I will stay back. I can just wait here or I can join you to the bluff and wait down at the base. Because I'm not the car. If there was a, I'll slow down as you are making it.

If there was somewhere near the base of the bluff and Jamny may be able to help us out there. If there were the way we could have you close by so that we can get in order to you if she was in trouble, great. But if you are only a day away from like your keep or wherever your family's from, we could always potentially trek her back in that way or send her back once she's safe that sounds like you do that to me dealer's choice that decision is up to you it's up to you if you want to walk up this mountainous range here

I would be fine joining you to the base and finding someplace to hide maybe an outcropping or a cave oh yeah do you happen speaking of that do you have another difference between an outcrowing and a cave yes I'm here am I here is this like happening on the sign that's fine yeah Sure. It's fun.

We all hear each other, we can't like 20 feet away from each other. Do you happen to know the difference, the technical difference between the outcropping in a cave? Tell what I think the difference is one is convex and the other one is concave. Because Oscenta not in an outcropping, but everybody kept calling it a cave and I kept trying to correct them. How can an outcropping be convex? Because it's outside.

But they kept calling it a cave. Are they literally the same thing in this continent? So if you think about a mountain, look, you have the face of a mountain. A cave is convex. It's inside of the mountain, and an outcropping is outside of the mountain. So I'm going to pretend that means convex. Okay. It's at least more accurate than calling an outcroping.

You've convinced me. What a great persuasion check. I'm glad I didn't have to roll. He blinks a few times and he kind of strokes his mustache. He's a mustache. He's always had a mustache. I like Chip. I like chips too.

I like tizel. Does he say I must ask you a question? He, I just a shirt or a mustache a little bit, says, I would gladly join you at the vase. And I would hate to slow all of you down. But I will be here waiting you. And if there's anything you need, please let me know. I have a life dance.

And if there's anything you can do for Nora, my family, the strong arm. line is a strong line of men rich line of hunters that have hunted giant kin for three generations So if she dies Does this mean that you are the next in line?

Yes, it does, yes. I would be very unfortunate for your line. I'll do everything that I can to see if your sister. I appreciate that. If she's still alive Let's cover up that. If she is lost and the strong bow is lost in our family heirloom as well. You know, with a wisdom of

13, I don't know if I should really be saying this, but what happens if we don't, yeah, what happens if we don't come back, you know, and he's waiting for us here at the bottom of this outcropping slash cave? And, you know, we tell us, sister, you know, go find your brother or whatever. And we got to keep going for your brother, my dad, we're not coming back around these parts, he's just going to sit here and starve. No, I think it's, I think it's safe to use judgment. You know, you know what you're doing, you're a hunter. If you have to, if you've got to go back to town, go back to town. It's fine. I've spent many months out in the while and hunting.

We have ways to send word to you. Where could we find you if you head back home? I, well, home is far away. I would, uh, I would, uh, I would, uh, I will, I will wait here as long as I deem worthy until I hear from you. I'm not going to abandon. Just so you know, if you see a little bluebird, just don't hunt it. Don't like kill it with your bow. It's his bird. Just so you know. I would never harm a precious bluebird.

Am I a monster? That's great to hear. It was just a water. I'm a man of honor and I love cute cuddly animals. Was you a one-eyed frog? I would never have a cute one unless it was a giant cute one-eyed frog. Then I would hunt it. It's a fairly average-sized one.

But my others in my hunting order would hunt those. My line and family specializes in hunting giant kin, vicious and horrific giant beasts. Hate all. And you said your family alien's called the Stronger. It is, yes. My sister has it. And it's very valuable?

Yes, it's very valuable to my family. If it was lost, it would be a tragedy. even I would not be able to inherit it, even to where she lost. But we'll make sure that you keep an eye out if she is gone, we'll at least look for the stronger. Thank you very good. Good call, Toa. You mentioned that you've been in the wilderness for months. How long have you been in the wilderness now, tracking down your sister?

I left a week ago. Just a week. Have you seen anyone else, especially a dwarf in your travels during the last week? A dwarf in my travels? may have passed one or two on the road, but I only crossed paths of the actual road. I saw very few humanoids. It was just... I described her to his father, to the best of my ability, having never known the guy,

but I've heard her describe him to multiple people in our journeys, and so I repeat the details that she's shared in front of me. That's a good question for Rich. I appreciate you. No, that doesn't sound familiar to me, but I've been very narrow-minded and single-finding. minded and single focused in my quest to find my sister. Well, I wouldn't say you're narrow minded. You seem pretty open-minded to me. So let's, what we'll say is we'll meet you at the bottom of the bluff,

but we're gonna move ahead and get there as quickly as possible and see what we see. Well, I think, I thank you, I think all of you. I mean, watch for fortuitousness to come across you who not only willing to save my life, but also the life of my sister. I appreciate that. It's our pleasure. My entire family owns you. Great that.

Do we have any other questions for Nestor? Or shall we, you don't have a title, do you? You're Mr. Right? Not a Sir. Who's the name is Nestor? Well, I'm asking about his title. Is he a Mr. a strong arm or is he a Sir stronger? No, he is Nestor.

You keep calling him Lester. No, Mr. No, it's Nestor. Yeah, I know it's Nestor. I'm asking if it's Latin. You know what, let's forget it. I think he's a cheap thing, now. He seems very confused and he says, well, I will join you to the base of the bluff.

And Jerry is, can we fucking go now? It's only 8 a.m. and I'm not buzzed enough for this. And she kind of rounds you all up. And kind of using a way, yeah, and she's trying to round everybody up and get everyone towards walking towards the, bluff. I hakeye with my flail in her face. I'm just to try it as fast as I am, tiny one, but that you ain't gonna come close.

No, I just thought he was... She adjust her hat a little bit. She spits and then it hits a spadierre. I stick where she's back. Making a disarrie chagin. Yeah, it gets on a day. 16. It actually kind of hits in the same area.

Okay, you're fine. You're fine, George Stack. Okay. Shorthy. You're proud, short stack. Okay. There's little pancakes over here. So she's, I don't know where there's are.

We had printing presses and avauntra. Why don't we have pancakes? That's fine. You can make cakes and pans for you. Yeah, there you go. There you go. So Nestor joins you, while when you jammity guides you towards the base, you see the looming figure,

and you can hear the far-off banging of war drums. As you approach, The bluff, and I will switch my music. Oh, shit. Does I do? Man, that sounds so much like Z-Z-Tock. It's crazy. You wouldn't know him.

It's from Baltica. I ain't never been to the Gulfica. You said he's like, just really irritate me. I'd be surprised if you made the journey across the sea. No, I'd get strut up pretty much immediately if I'd try it, so I'll stay here in the Moors. I'll thank you very much. And so she guides you towards there.

She says, okay, well, it's not easily. find them from here, but I know a pathway up. And I think I know where these fucking ogre sons of bitches are doing their nefarious business. So let's let's take a look. And so as you kind of approach, you see this large, looming

kind of hook-shaped natural formation, as you start to see kind of the large war band or whatever of ogres and giants and all of their various beasts and the like, have all seemed to have coalesced at this mountain pass, at this break in the mountain range,

as if they're all kind of just gathering, and the rumbling of the ground, the slight rumbling that you'd be able to feel if you kind of put your hand on the ground from the motion seems to have stopped considerably, and the loud banging of the drums continues, however. And it seems to be far off and there is

however despite them being far off there still seems to be you cue you the occasional voice kind of shouting off echoing a lot closer than where this huge army is and it sounds low

and guttural and nasty you get the sense that there's still some action going on here does it sound like that demon thing that we came across Make our television check. I don't know. I don't know. I can't.

Oricana. Two. You can make an archa check as you. I happily make it. You have no idea what the fuck. Doug. Archana. I have two.

You're like this. It sounds like a big and scary guy. Wow. It sounds big and scary. I don't know if I'm going to go through. It sounds gutterable. Yeah. It does.

It does. So, Jam, any, turns to Neston, says, well, I'm sorry, my stuff. but I think this is the end of the line at least until we all come back alive and if we don't then I guess you go home and you're in the air and you don't get your fancy fucking bow but being killed by ogres ain't that right and Nesser kind of gets a look of distaste for her damnity and says I will wait he kind of ignores her entire

thrust of her message I will wait to you know wait to you for for all of you and I will do whatever I can to assist hopefully you find your and hopefully everything is everything is all right okay well slap them on the back again hope to feel better bud I will be waiting down here I will go into find a place to hide and so he walks up best of luck to all of you and may may the strong-armed family strong-on strong-on strong family technique find you find his way to the heart of all of those horrific giant kid and he walks off strong strong um technique well when he started to sing I thought

we were gonna get some sort of like a like magical boon and whatnot but I don't feel any difference so honestly I have no idea it's probably just a parting farewell you probably hit something like maybe just like an arrow in the heart because it's like Your talent. And you're... And you're... And I'm to blame. I'm using an arrow.

And Felix did love a bad thing. I think... I think that would be... I thought that would be the one... ...that was the third song that I did on the set when we were in Kirstine. I have a fantastic memory. I would think that Felix would be the one to give love a bad thing. Perhaps Lifty, might give love a bed name.

I got a song. But she wasn't here to defend herself. Okay, do we fucking go? Can you just lead us? Thank you, Chairman. Please. Thank you. Hold on a second. Now I'm not ready.

She pulls out a bottle of whiskey. Okay, now I'm ready. And she leads you. I pull out my flask, though. It's probably empty at this point after three days. Hey, Jamie, can you top a guy off? What are you gonna do for it? What are you gonna do for it, Skinny?

I mean, we saved your life. And we got you two casts of the stuff. I'm risky my fucking skin. How much you sing a song for me there? Music boy? Dance for me, puppets. Yeah, I'll sing, uh, bug bear. Bug bear.

Drinking up for whiskey bug bear. Bug bear, bug bear. Bug bear. She loves her whiskey bug bear. Jamadie's insane, but she knows how to use a whip. She's gonna cut into the combat, and then you're gonna scream, Holy fucking shit. Make a foreman check for me. Oh.

Oh, I'm gonna. Yeah, that's gonna be a 20, uh, 28, 26. Okay. I like you creepy eyes. And she takes your flask and gives you a little bomb. She fills it up to the brim with whiskey, and she hands it over. My pleasure, thank you. Our bar, ladies and gentlemen, our barred.

Our barred. Yeah. Caprici, the pree. Gotta get it. Got to get it up. So, you, Jamie, start fleeting you up and around. Just, well, I have a feeling like they, like there's something off here.

There should be a lot more of these fuckers crawling around this place. I don't know why. Because they're all over in that fucking, that fucking meeting place or something. This is putting me a little bit on edge and he doesn't kind of realize you're walking up and up and you're starting to notice the elevation change.

As you're walking through kind of crack. And there is the occasional shrubbery in bush. There's the occasional tree as it starts to get a little bit higher in an elevation, but it's not like heavily forested at all. And you make your way higher and higher, and it starts to get to a point where there's a cliff face,

and it seems to just kind of be this winding, just very, very narrow pathway where it seems like, I think it's not that narrow, but it's been a pathway that just kind of just winds upwards. and it's kind of along the side of the side of the bluff and Jamie looks around as well it looks like we're gonna be a little bit exposed well should we just keep low and crawl up the side here do you know of any other paths around I mean there's also I would wager based on the voice we heard earlier that that they're all centralized in some location

perhaps getting orders or talking about whatever it is that they're planning on doing Charles, you brought me with whiskey and beer. Chalk to you guys. Damny's not being any help. Do you guys just want to make our way up straight up via this path or maybe try to find a way around? I think the fastest way is the best. I don't think we have time to really mess around here. I don't, we should be as sneaky as we can, but I don't want to take hours or, you know, a half a day extra time to find another route.

So I think just straight up is the easiest way. Well, let's just beeline then. Agreed. So, Jim, and just real quick, you said that there's usually more of them. You mean like these places

is usually crawling with giants and things? That was my fucking understanding that these ogers and giants and they do some weird, the weird shit, they take the folk. I mean, I told you,

that smelly fucking that was playing on taking me here and bringing me up to the top and them doing some with me. I'm glad until y'all arrived. I don't pretend to know what they were trying. So it sounds like we need to get to the top. Agreed.

So let's just take us on the top as faces as we can. Okay. And just keep an eye out, we'll all be as still as we can. Well, okay. And so as she, as you're making your way through, you're stealing. Oh, we're stealing. We're stealing.

Natty 20, but a little of this vent. 17. Oh, shit. Nice, nice, nice, nice. All right, so 19. What the hell am I rolling for? Stop. I got a 15.

It's like, what the fuck does that mean? When you steal. 19. 15. 15 the same. Shit. 10. 14.

14. 10 for me, Fetella. Okay. So you're making your way. You're kind of sticking to along the cliffside. And just kind of winding up and up and up. As you're gaining elevation. you're making your way through

and you start to kind of see high above flying that these, similar to the little specks far off in the distance that you'd seen, you start to see kind of dots in the sky above you. Ships of wings. Bird that seem to be, you've seen plenty of eagles and vultures and obviously ravens flying around

and these seem to be rather than kind of the familiar darks, blacks and browns of these birds, these birds flying above you have this bright blood red coloring to their feathers. It seems to be kind of flying all around, and you kind of realize as you're looking up that there seems to be kind of a circling of these birds

at the top of the bookers' mouth. Do they look like the same birds we spotted earlier? Make a nature time. Nature? Is that cock? No, that's fine. Nine. It's hard for you to tell.

It's very far off. The other birds. Are we still going up a path, or it's starting to show buildings? It's a pathway. So there's no . There's no villains. So you're going up along the side of this cleft.

Hey, Felix, can your bird, like, convey information with and to and from other birds? I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. So you can't go up and be like, hey, what's the carrion meal for the day? No, no, it doesn't quite work like that.

I'm sorry. You know, I just thought I'd ask. No, it's always a good question. It's valid. Perfectly valid. If you ever any musical questions, ask me. I just thought I, you know, it's fine. He's the bird guy.

That's a fair question, yeah. I mean, all I know how to do is flip the bird, so that's it. Fair enough. I'll get back to you if I have any musical questions. Thank you. Caprucci. If you're a bird, I'm a bird. We're both birds?

Okay. That was cryptic. You know, they have some weird thing going on. I don't question it. They probably look at us then and say, we have a weird thing too. No, I think we have a weird thing. We just best friends.

They're probably jealous. Okay, I think that they're not best friends. I don't know what they is. Anyway, I don't judge, you know. There's no key shame in this party. So, you continue. And as you're making your way, I would like a group reception check, please.

Oh, shit. Oh, I was so great at those. Oh, I finally have a category to do you get it for a second. Oh, this is really good. 15. I can make 21, my friend. Nine. 23.

What do you get? Oh, 15. 15. So who got over a 20? Fortunately. Oh, Jamonie. Jamon. Oh, pung.

She's like, she's mid-swig as, as both of you notice the padding of footsteps. And it sounds like there's something kind of rustling in the bushes above you. And as real quick, so like, if you're walking up this path and it's going to curve around and kind of go up, so like you're on a winding mountain path upwards, and there's kind of bushes and shrubbery all along, both of you everyone else is totally oblivious and you notice that there's some rustling

and he bushes up above. So like on the path as we go up up above you. Above us. Do I see him noticing that? Both of you notice him. But do I see him also noticing as I like, I see that and I do I see your head turn or do you see that? Gosh, do you hear

I think there's footsteps up there? I just look, yeah, it's you hear it? Do you really hear that? I look at down in Dakota. Is she giving me any sort of warning signs of shit within 30 feet? Is that how that works? Yeah. I can't be alarmed.

I can't be surprised. Okay. For people within 30 feet. Okay. So it is, you don't immediately hear that, but as soon as you do that, you hear loud, a low growl. And all of a sudden, two large shapes leap out from directly above you. On either side of the party, they are large. hairy, feline, frothing, huge, huge two front fangs coming down.

And they both let out this lion roar. And they had everyone roll furniture. Day time, fraculous. Can I run up real quick. As I see them, I want to run up. And I say, I want to do Nora? And I just wait there, patient, for an answer. The large, seemingly saber-toothed type creature,

So the other two lion creature looks at you and goes, and is going to leap in and try to attack you. And with that, I'm going to put on my combat music here. 99 songs. We get to do 100. 20 to 25. 21. It's bad.

She just flexed to 20. 15 to 20? 15 to 20. Oh, I got 20. 20. 10 to 15. Oh, man. That's cold in here.

Five to 10. I got this guy. Nine. Eight. Seven. Holy shit, Felix is the one. So nine, can I go first? Eight, I'll go first. I'll go first.

Two is going first, then Iris. Oh, shit, I change. What occurs again? We put here, so hold up. Seven. Are you up? And I've been banished on in I'm gonna use the restroom and I'll get over.

I'll get two to five. I'm gonna go after my turn. I need a million years until my turn is on enough. I'm not. I'm sorry. I won't do it. Yes, no. Go back to Germany.

Go back to Germany. craftwork. Don't want to listen to Polka and Kistakistan. Okay, so two massive cats and feline creatures slam down. And they are ready to strike, but unfortunately thanks to Toa and DePriese, you are not surprised. And everyone's world for initiative. Preach, you're up. I'll turn around and I will just hand crossbow number two.

Okay. That's not going to hit. and it's gonna be a good eight to hit. So with a bonus action, I'll do nothing. I'm just gonna be like, behind you, behind you, behind. And so, he fails his crossbow, he stutters and then passes his turn,

lift of Europe. Okay, so I'm like dead. How tight is it? Can we pass by each other? I would say you could pass by each other, yeah. It's narrow, but it's like these are large fucking beast and they're able to land on these panels. five foot square. You're like pretty key away from me.

I take a lot of space. We're like half a foot wide. I'm going to move towards number one and just because it's tight quarters, I'm going to make a... Thanks guys. 23 hit. It hits. Eight damage. Eight damage.

Number one or two? I know. Number one. You fling up your knee, hitting it in the face. I go, ah. I'll say, he's got his clothes and I'll scratch it. Okay. Oh, that was a critical fail.

Okay. Anytime he's a tagline, it fails. You try to scratch it and then it changes a mess, and all these enormous traits or your claws and just bats you out of the way. It just knocks you out of the way. Okay, it's their turn. Oh, shit, really?

And so as they're leaping down, Son bitch. One is going to try to pounce onto you, Felix. The other one is going. Well, I'm better look at my spell, boy. The other one is going to attempt to pounce onto Felix. I mean, onto Toa.

Rich, do you want to do the camera? Actually, oh. So this is the one that you asked if it was Norah. And it is going to pounce on. Is it going to bounce on you? Hopefully we have range here. And there we go. We got enough slack.

So one on Felix is going, that. That is going to hit. I'm going to use my reaction to cast shield. Okay, so it is going to be 25. What's your AC with shield? Oh shit, not that high. It only adds five, so it's 18. 18.

So it's still, the shield goes up. It's the last, though. Oh, so that was my, okay, we can talk later. I guess it doesn't matter. I don't know the number, right, before I decide whether to cast shield, I should know it to hit. Yes. Correct.

Yes. So it pounds. You should have known, yeah. It pounces, and your shield goes up, but it's too late. This pounces on you and it is going to hit you. Now, Felix! Oh, Jesus.

Oh, jeez. But I think shield is still up. 14 points of slashing damage, and it pounces on you. You need to make a saving throw. Strength saving throw, please. Hold up. I can't add here, 14.

Yeah, that's my new HP. Sating throw? Strength saving throw. Strength saving throw. Oh, Jesus, Almighty. A nine! A nine! You are not prone if this cat is over you

and takes the opportunity to then use the, just to get a free bite attack on you. It's one attempt to bite you as it. As it is, I believe your phrase is, ah, fuck. This is going to hit you. Oh no. Is it a crit because he's prone? No, prone is it damaged.

Sorry, I'm trying to kill you. on your side. Clearly. No, she wants to help me. She wants to help. Doing eight points of piercing damage, as you feel these fangs. Blood goes everywhere. As it slices you, pounces you down, and fall back to the ground, feels, and this cat is over you.

You are, are fucked. The other one is when it pounces and try to make Tull after Tso is asking that question. It is going to attack. That is also going to be a hit. I'm going to blow and fall in this band. with my shield master. Ryan within five feet. Are you able to do that?

Thank you. Okay. Fucking worth the shield. I wasn't within five feet. 17? 17. It's still barely. It's still barely missed.

You plug your shield, the cat still managed to go in. That deals 13 points of slashing damage. I would like to use my stone's endurance to mitigate that. Okay, the claw slices in, and your skin turns to... Pookegats sucks. The skin turns a stone to reduce the damage.

As it sliced... How much? 13 you said? 13. Strength saving through. What's the damage? Strength saving. Oh, just... Okay, so it's reduced the damage by six, so I take seven. I don't have something on yet.

Better than nothing. Say, hold on. Taking my damage. What am I waiting for it? And then strength saving throw should be pretty good. 20, like, six. Yeah, so it tries to knock you down from the pounds, but you manage to heed this huge cat.

It bounces back. it is not for the free bite thing through. Can I cast spells while I'm pro myself? Yeah. I am going to panic, obviously, and cast mirror image on myself. Okay. So while I'm underneath this cat,

I'm just gonna reach into my coat and curl up, and then all of a sudden, three images of me appear around, but it's all like blurry and shifting and moving. Okay, so three images of Felix kind of appear as magic So there's four of me now. Yeah, there's four of you, and you're able to use your movement to stand up.

Yeah, I'd like to do that. So you use your full movement to stand, or half you move to stand up, and you do that. So, if you still on our front. Am I able to move away and take an attack of opportunity? You could if you would like to, yeah. I'm gonna do that.

I'm gonna run if I can. You have halfway movement. So, yeah, as many spaces I can, I actually don't have to. I'm still engaged, so it's fine. It's just wrap around the middle. Yeah, it's fine. Move it the way you did.

5, 10, 50, perfect. Yeah, I'm just, I don't take him to talk about TV. You don't move it. Okay, okay, so Jamminy's up. She's gonna see the one in the front and said like, oh, my God, I was not expecting this. And she's going to do an attack roll and that's gonna hit. She is going to sneak attacks.

Mm-hmm. It's caught. Hey, not bad. And she does a healthy amount of damage. Okay, it is as soon as you are, are doing all of that. you realize you hear aloud funk, thunk, and all of a sudden two massive crossbow bolts, massive bolts that are larger than you've ever seen,

probably, almost balustas, fly at you as you hear, and two massive ogres are standing on the ridge ahead with these huge crossbows that look like almost the size of ballistas as they're firing into you. and I will place them.

Well, this is gonna be fun. These ovaries fire down in you. I have both of shit. Are they hearing? Are we comfortable with that? Yeah, fine. It's fine. Macabon.

Yeah. So, one is gonna be a Parja, the other is gonna make a priest. The two in the middle. What's happened? Anything. Perjia, we got a bolt at you. That's gonna miss.

As you made, there's a block, massive ball. No one's gonna push back. This year, force, in this massive thing. You see, these ogres are large and plump. They have this hair, long black mustache just hanging down, kind of like these long goatee like beards. And they have these thick black eyebrows,

and their mouths filled with these rows of teeth. And against Caprice, it's gonna be a natural 20. Oh, you love pritting me. I don't know. I'm sorry, it's nice. All of a sudden, the monster is turning on, Eddie. As the bolt hits Caprice. You can't get him full on directly in the chest.

And that is going to do, probably the final max damage or anything. I'm on level four. I get hired to get rid of my reaction. I'm sorry. If I'm going to get credited, it might as well be the final side of the same set of a remix. That's a light. Bound, fow, fow, da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da no. 27 points of piercing damage.

As the bolt hits you dead on. What? Wow. Oh, fuck. That would kill me. You see Caprize get fucking chumps. You have in one shot. As this massive bolt hits you and you hear this ogre

and then he loads the, as they both restart me loading. Toglio. A question. I'm sorry. Do you, we have a new restriction. regarding casting spells and casting spells as bonus actions? Yes, we do not do that. We do not do that.

Well, as one is it can't trip. Can't be a cantrip, but not stuff. You can't pass two spells. The rules is written, you cannot cast two spells in a single term. But I can cast a spell and a firebolt. Yeah, every fucking turn. As long as one, yes, as one is it,

well, no, no, no, no. As long as one's a bonus section was an action. Right. That's often one. You can't do a bonus action spell, fireball. Bonus action spell firebol every turn. But one has to be a can trip. Fireball is ginger.

Yeah, but you can't do a second level for your action and then a first level for your bonus. Totally. So like I couldn't cast like- But I've been missing like so much damage then. I know. I did. Yeah.

I've got one time. No. Okay. Felix is smaller now. Only if it caught, but you can't like do an action and an action twice, right? Like it has a, totally. I just assumed you actually,

I'm gonna move the over to live. The team trip was the action. Oh, not. It is. So fire, both, so some are bonus action. So like, How do I know?

Does it say? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Tell us, you're on this action. I am going to see Felix to completely shrewd. I'm going to turn on, Felix! And I turn around.

I'm going to rush to the other one. First, I want to tribal battle stance. Okay. You battle trance? Yep. You're talking to attack on two knee and four we messes. So, if you're going to be, there?

There. So then I probably have to have a time. Is this guy? Yep. So I'm going to attack. Number two? Yeah. Oh, 18.

I wouldn't have fallen. 18. Okay, so 18, that does hit. Roll for damage. Two, three. Eight damage. By these marked by my ancestors. Two to eight damage?

Eight damage. So you smash, you're the crack against the shoulder of the Crohn's and the as once again, you see the shimmering forms of Tots' ancestors, kind of like distracted this picture. Okay, it is our turn.

I'm gonna look over at a Caprize. Damn, God, you took that entire thing to the chest, and I'm gonna cast a sanctuary on him as my bonus action. Okay. And then I'm gonna look at the thing that was attacking him, was it one or two? Can we see them?

Number two hit him. And we can see them. Yes, but you see these large ogres with these massive crossbows. And I am going to cast, um, pull the death. Okay, he's not damaged. Okay, he's not damaged. And it's wisdom.

He is 14. Okay. One point of damage. One point of damage. He is now damaged. He kind of, he kind of like us, and continues to reload at number two, right? Yeah.

One of the damage on number two. And with that, Iris turn us up. You see a shimmering kind of almost like a sarcophagus form around the priest shimmering and then kind of fade. to the remainder of that shimmering magic protecting him. And then with that, it's her job. Taking a look at the slope in front of you do it look like it's climbable?

It does climb, yeah, you feel like it would require your, an athletic check potentially, but you could attempt to scale the wall, yes. Like to scale the wall. Okay, make a athletic check. 12. 12. You manage to climb

your way up about halfway. Oh yeah, my apology. And then you realize, oh, no, no, no, no, no, and you slide back down, unfortunately. Oh, no. And you still have half a good move. So I try again? I would say you wouldn't be able to,

your full moon, to get up there. Could you get halfway and enter there? You could try to get halfway. I saw my action. Yeah. Could we use my action and a half-by movement to try to get up? I would say that that would be fine. To dash, yeah.

To dash, yeah, for sure. There we go, 22. 22. You scale, you slide back down, you see her as you fold, slide by dad, and she kind of steals her dorm body, and she's climbed all the way up, and you are now in between these massive oaks reloading their ballistas. Okay, and then bonus action going to cast

Thunder smite Decorda. You hear the thigh clap and the thigh clap and the thunderous thighs energize the so canonically are herges thighs

like you clap them together like that's the ball she does this I'm actually going to change that on my spall sheet to the thunderous thighs yeah and like in the distance

you hear like an anvil like a hammerhead of anvil like for 300 feet you do the sound of thigh clapping on an hand in the back of Capric with mine, Thunderthine. And you hear this ringing out, and you're the same thunder's energy in Case Dakota.

Okay, with that, it is priestry. Oh my God, what the fuck? I'm going to look at what the number one and number two that created me. Number two. Number two, I'm going to pull out my viol and I'm going to start to play. It's an off-key, very strange tune, and I'm whispering.

I'm whispering, and infernalist is happening. I'm casting fantastimal force. Oh shit. It's gonna need to take a, let's do an intelligence saving throw. It gets a six. All right. I get to create an image of whatever it sees, this phantasmal force.

Its teeth fall out of its mouth. And all of a sudden, like, tiny horses, the four little tiny points of these teeth start gracing up it and growing mouths for chomping and biting at its neck. That's fucked up, man. Who hurt you? He did.

He had a lot. Jesus. We want to talk about this off the scene, man. We got some more resolveation. So, so, so, so. None of you can see what is only Caprize in his mind and this ogre in his mind can see, and he just looked up,

He starts swatting at his body. It takes 1d6 psychic damage, which I'll do now. I'm pretty sure he runs away. Five psychic damage. To number two? Yes, and that'll be for the next minute. Doesn't he run away? No, you're thinking of dissonant whispers.

Okay, so he's slamming himself. He's frightened? I don't know, exactly. An affected pre-target is so convinced of a fan. phantasms' reality that it can even take damage from the illusion. A phantasm created to appear as a creature can attack the target. Each round on your turn, the phantasms is a He's a third round. Oh, it's hit by the phantasms. Yeah, by the T-Forces. He still finishes reloading. I'm gonna have that nightmare tonight Geez. Who's up? Oh, it's a me. It's a me.

It's a me. Okay, I'm gonna try to... I can make your thighs clap. I can make your thumbs clap I would like to try to like jump up and like clean my foot right in the cat's face and like kind of go over the top of it. Okay, attack. 18. It hits. That is eight damage. Eight damage. You leap up, smacking your, you do like the Super Smash Brothers, the Lookie has.

She does the head hop and just smashes the face. And then you leap over the other side using however much movement it would take. to get around it. Okay. You're able to get over it. What number of cat is that? Number one. Are you on the other side of it?

Yeah, on the other side. And then as a bonus action, I would like to pull his tail really hard, not that I'm on the other side. That is solo in that cat. Yeah, dogs. Yeah. That's a no for me, dog. That's a no for me, dog. I mean, that's a yikes for me, dog.

Yikes. Okay, now that is epic. Okay, that attack is happening. Six damage to the tailwind. We don't have two. You own the cats. Six damage to number one as well, right? Yes.

Yes. Make sure when you kill the cat, you eat it into a bushback. Absolutely. And then say X is no. So you see a little bit like, short hop, short hop on top of the cat, bounce over and go, ooh-hoo, And then yane the tail on you,

whee-ha-h-h-h-h-ha-h-ha-h. I said, be I have a kitty in our party, thank you. She's not drunk and did that to me once. I saw her. Sure if she did. Immediately the cat turns towards you, like to very angry, after you yank its tail. And we are going, I don't think they have multi-attacks.

They do not. Unless they knock you down by your face, huh? Oh, man. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I'm going to claw to have you there. I'm in danger. And it slices we're able to dodge out of the way Lutty. Then who was the last one who attack it?

It was definitely Toa. So Toa and Lifty are always tanking. You know what it is. Thank you very much, guys. 17s does hit. Damn it. It's like I keep rolling 17s against you. Is that high?

Yeah. It's high. Yeah. Oh, golly, sorry, man. 14 points of slashing damage. It's half, though, guys. It's half, yeah, it's half. It's half.

So is it your resolve and your battle, your tribal trance, man, you don't feel quite out of pain, but you're just seeing this cat is tear in a toe his flesh. And with that, it is Felix's turn. Okay, I'm immediately going to back the fuck up and take an attack of opportunity. How far do you want to go?

Like over here? Can I go for 100 feet? Because that's how far I like we go. No, that's good, thank you. He's his advantage. He's disadvantaged. So we'll hold up. Why is he disadvantaged?

Because he's marked by my attack. Still hits. Okay. Well, no. Okay, so I have my mirror image is up. Oh. So what happens is I, each time a creature targets you with an attack

during the spells duration, it's one minute. I roll a D20 and you determine whether the attack instead targets one of the duplicates. If I have three duplicates, which I still have, all I have to do is roll six or higher, to change the attack to a duplicate, and then one of them poofs. And then it gets harder and harder

each time to redirect the thing. So roll in your mind? 16. So one of my mirror images burst. So you see this cat, it's sure that it's going to hit, and it slices, and it's one of the spirit felixes disappears.

Are we rapid paucing? Yeah, we're rapid pausing. Okay, I'm going to down my greater healing potion. Okay. You're a driver. greater healing. Not it last time. I'm from Boonmaster Gruber. Each one of us has a great. I thought we all got pots.

You got two pots. Right, I have a healing in a grader, but down the grater. That's probably one. One was from the eton, there was a creative potion in the also grew. Okay. So there were two graders that you got last for session. Oh, I have just healing in grater, so I wrote them down. Oh, maybe it was a healing. I just, I know what I've got. I know what I've got. So I'll roll the healing potion after my turn.

You down it. So then I'm gonna use a flaming sphere. Okay. I'm gonna drop the flaming sphere on the other side of Toa basically. Like on, yeah, just, I don't know. You're reaching your coat, extend your hand, feels your finger, and then a little closer to me.

One up? One towards me? No, no, no. Sorry, my, yeah, perfect. Perfect, perfect. Pretty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it doesn't do anything to turn that I drop it. So that's gonna be my.

my turn. So a sphere, it creates in your hand and it flies over to where you place right behind the cat and with your hand and your coat and it is ready to do some business. And it appears right there. Doesn't it like automatically trigger? It's if they end their turn so it won't do anything into my next turn or they end their turn in it. And so with that it's Jamminy's turn and Jamie's like, okay, I got this one. And she is going to bullwip it. Let's see if she can miss. And she can't, wow, I rolled really well for her.

She's rolling on number one, and she is going to, okay, so she, the bullwhip cracks and hits the, you can see a large, kind of wound, there's actually blood dripping from where the bullwit hit the creature, and with that, actually, let me just do this damage real quick on number one. It takes the number one, and then it is their turn. So they finally reloaded.

The one that's up there is going to turn to you, Herja, that is not in melee range of you, and just shoot the bolt at you. The other one is going to shoot down at, who's going to shoot down? It is going to shoot down at Jammin because it just attacked the cat. So it's not disadvantaged if I'm within five feet of them. It's only if they're attacking me.

So the one that you're next to you. and shooting down, yeah, so it has to be a time. Okay. So this one that's shooting jammed, and he just misses, and she made us, yeah, that was the close one. And then the one is going to shoot you, Herja. Okay.

That is going to hit. So that is going to deal. I apologize in advance for this. 24 points of piercing damage and we're both two hits into you. You try to block it, but it is too late. and you're unable to do that. And so with that, it is tone's turn.

How's the cat looking? He's covered in blood, certainly, but not like super injured. Okay, which one? Number one is. Number two's looking pretty decent. That's the one I'm on. Shit, okay, I'll stay there.

I will attack again. 20 something. Yes. Five, 12 damage. 12 damage, okay. Total damage number two? No, no feel, yeah. So you swim, come all, pooh,

and you get a lot of crack as the shoulder kind of slumps forward, and it has a good amount of damage. With that, it is Irish turn. I am going to, how does everybody look? Like, would I be able to look around and see that you're looking like you pretty light? You would be able to easily, I would say any Claire can look around the party

and gauge how wounded people are. So I'm going to lift my hand to the sky, and call forth the rains of the desert to refresh and renew my allies. Lord of the scales, it is not their time, and I'm going to cast Peripelan. Okay. And anyone within 30 feet with me,

so I'm gonna move, like, right here, I believe. What's the cast down on Pearipan? Uh, Peripede, uh, Peripede, uh, for a minute. Oh, that's a good point. I forgot about that. Whatever. I'll be able to. I'll do it for 10 minutes and not going to do anything else. I don't do for 10 minutes and you're just going to be writing heels.

I would say 10 minutes and then it's then heels, so you're sure you don't want to use, is original, right? Or no? It just passed. No. It says it is, no, it's instantaneous, but it takes 10 minutes to do. So everyone heals, I'm just going to have to, I'm doing it for 10 minutes.

Well, we heal at the end of the 10 minutes. The duration is instantaneous and cast on 10 minutes. instantaneous and casting types of that. Yeah, so we have time to do it. Yeah, so I'm gonna do that. Okay, okay, okay. So you start caneling, crane to a new vessel. And so with that, it's hers turn.

Okay, Persia is gonna move around this way. Get behind number one. Let's see if this works. And I'm gonna try and use my flail attack on it. Eight. You have inspiration. Oh, you do have inspiration. Okay, I'm going to use it.

Non-natural 20. Ouch. Okay. So, because I have thunder and smite. You have thunder smite on it, yep. Thunder thighs. Thunder size. So it's going to take seven points of bludgeoning,

thunder size, three, three Thunder's side damage, and then it has to make a strength saving throw. How much damage to take total, by the way? Oh, three and seven. number two? To number two. To number one. To ten to number one.

Pretend to that number one. You smash the Kota into it. You do the angle, the angle, the handle hitting, the hammer hitting the anvil, and thunder rings out, and I need to make a straight saving throw. Yes, DC12. And I get three plus, yeah, no, I'm going to okay.

Okay, so as it makes contact, I want to also kick it and say, This is Dakota! And I want to kick it down the hill. Okay. So you hear a, and as soon as she hits, you're like crack a thunder, the kick hits. The O's like, and he falls backwards, falling down. I need Jammini and just Jammini to make the sexy being thrown.

And she just effortlessly dodges out of the way, yeah, how much your harness makes, how do you fucking do that? And it is going to hit and take this much damage. Oh, wow. Let's go, let's go, let's go. Number one? Yeah. As the ogre land, the loud of crud,

and a loud thud, and let's see if he is going to, he's going to fail and he is now pro. So with that is pretty nice. Hell yeah. Do you? Oh, I have movement still, sorry. How many greater feeling potion? Two, one.

One piece, I believe. Not two? No, I think it's, I think it was one regular and one greater. They do three, so you do that. You have a regular. I can do that. If we all got the same thing, then yes. I wrote down one regular and one grainer thing.

Then yeah. I can do that. Can I get? But I don't recall what we all got. Okay. You were there. Here. Okay.

I want to, I saw a movement. You already went five, ten, 17.5. So you have one more. You have one more than you. You can just move. Okay. I'll just do that.

Okay. And then, um, uh, uh, Yeah, I'll stay my boat aside. Okay. I'm chugging that greater healing potion. Like, I've never chugged that he greater healing potion before. How much does that do?

44. 44. I got eight more points. Oh, we have two D4s over here if you want to use them. Don't use those. They're horrible. They roll warmly. Maybe you want to.

Three. It's got three. There you go. Got it for funzies. That's going to be a 10. Four. Four. 14 points of damage.

14 points, you chug a potion increase and you're feeling a little bit better. That does feel better. And then I'm going to, looking down at the over that just fell down on my feet, I'm going to stab it with my Pocke's stick and I've managed because it's prone. Thank God.

That's gonna be a 15 to hit. That does it. Okay, and that's gonna be a 12 points of piercing damage. and that's going to be three points of teeth biting damage to number two from different whispers. Okay, so number two. Number two, is like, he's still fighting off the teeth. Damn, teeth, horses!

I mean, never look at a teeth in a horse, you know? Wait. Look to your off. Close enough, yeah. Okay. So, Kitty just tried to bite me, so I'm going to smack it on it, snoot, and say, bad kitty, and then I'll follow it up with bonus action. and Fury of Lowe's for four smacks, too.

Oh, girl. That's tough. Oh, really nine. That's a nine and 14. 17 and a... 15? You gotta boot the shit. Yeah.

Boat's it. Okay, so I've got three pits. You're just unleashing your fists on the stand. Where'd the lightning lips come from? With the E, it's like the, they are. It's like the, they are. It's like, it's like, light in it.

But without the E, it's lightning. 23 damage. Lightning left. 23 damage. On the cat. Which one you got? To number one. And then a drunken technique, I will disengage.

Oh, baby. And run. 8,000 feet away. You would have been advantage of the party. So hold on. You just go, and like the cat, you just on its fucking skull, just bashing it. And his eyes roll back and collapse it down.

Oh! It's not unguised. What a pussy. We need the disengaged. Okay, so then I have, so, 5, 10, 30, 35, 40, 25, 50, because I get plus 10 speed for the drunken and all. That's nuts. Nuts.

Okay. Drunken. You for now, the gut is going to, to have the pounce toe again. Actually, you can't do that. because it's not moving, so it's going to claw. It's still going to have. Did you have a half on the punch?

Because it drops like two. Six plus five is 11 points of slashing damage. That's all the cat can do. And so with that, it is, it's few this turn. Oh, so it ended its turn in the conjuration. Yes. So it will have to, as soon as I click on a thing,

take 2D6 fire damage on a face. fire damage on a failed save, so it's a Dexterity save. Yep. At the end of your turn. That's a 16. Dex 15, so you're good. Meteor beat, so you don't take that. Oh, and half as much on a successful one.

Okay, so you still take... The odds is out of most of these. You still take, it's seven rounded, half, rounded down is three. It's rounded down, correct? So three points of damage then. Okay. So then for my turn, what I'm gonna do is just cast a fire bolt. Add it.

13. 13? 13. Okay. That hit, that does hit. Yeah. Wow. One D-10.

One. Okay. Biu. You do a little cute. Okay. Felix, Jambrick. Bang, bang. And so she's going to turn around and she's going to

turn around and the bonus action, disengage, just all flicked kind of around the cat out of the melee range. She's going to use her whip and crack at this bad boy. Let's see if that will do. And I advantage, male, like that. What? The advantage because he's prone. Oh, yeah, let's see if she gives a natural 20. She does not, unfortunately.

Oh, not too much damage. But she cracks into it. He does get sneak at that. He's going to. Against me? No, I'm cool. He is going to, yeah, he'll just do that, man. He'll just shoot you with a bowl and disadvantage.

because, you know, it's over. And that still hits. Oh gosh. And that is, and you kind of raise your shield up a time. And it's just too late. Oh, not too much. Oh, God. Anyone in chat, we're 22 away from the giveaway.

Oh, snap. So tell your friends, we're getting close. Oh, man. 12 points of piercing damage, the bolt hits into you. And that's all he can do. We're here all night. So let's happen with my mall. Uh, 19.

Let's go to the mall, everybody. Let's go to the ball. One of my D6 is all, I'm gonna do. 11 damage. 11 damage number. Oh, Retra. Oh! All his friends are in Maryland.

Hey guys, we're in Maryland. I wonder who's flogging him out. I was gonna say, that's right. Oh, the ogre lifts himself up so you're not advantage. What? The ogre that's on the ground is... Oh, you're talking the cat. No, I'm gonna take the cat.

I can. Okay. So you smash your mole into it. This guy's close to the feeling. And it smacks, you hear about crack as your malt slammed the nude. He's looking very, very weak as you do that. Iris, you're still, channel. I wonder who did Nikki's hair.

It's so nice, right? Anyone really loves my hair, and you happen to be in the PA area, that stands for Pennsylvania. Thank you. I was going to say, Philadelphia, which is a city there. Retra is an amazing person to go to for beautifully colored hair. Hair done, he's wrong. Yeah, he really is. He's great.

It does not feel like it's been died. It's amazing. Love it. You can sleep with it. Oh my goodness. It actually doesn't feel like a courthust. Oh, yeah. This is the kind of share that literally had to be a glove.

Best compliment I'm gonna get it. With that, it's turn. Bright pink. Cool. Herzia's gonna whip around. Wow, I'm crazy. Stand on this side. Okay.

Well. The flail attack. Done and done. You swing in Dakota. Uh, 17. It's gonna make that a divine smite. First level. Boom.

So that's gonna be. Oh, geez there, eh? Oh, geez. Three bludgeoning. Okay. Divine clap. And seven radiance. So you came on power of war again and whoosh

your flail kind of gloated with this molten. metal and it hits, he kind of singes into the gut of this ogre, and it does a good amount of damage. I will use my bonus action to attempt to shove it. Okay. So that is a contest. You attempt that. Stop sending them down here. I heard you? Oh. 24.

Fuck. Oh, fuck. Close. Oh, damn. Damn. These guys are strong. You're strong. That's all right. I got it.

That's all right. It's good. It's okay. He managed to stand strong as we've attempted to shove him, but it's not enough. With that is, we turn. Oh, it's a donkey. There's a giant over standing up next to you with a mixed with a match with a match for this. Are he standing now? I don't care for that. I don't care for it. I'll, uh, I'll boop him with some pender way to see if I can get him away from me. I'm just gonna

Yeah. First of all, that's cocked. That's a nice roll. Four points of teeth force damage to your boy. To which guy? Number two. Number two. And then I will kaboom the five. He has to make a, that's going to be at level one. Is this guy been taking sphere damage? What? Has this guy been taking sphere damage? No, no, it's only at the end of their turn, so it hasn't happened. Okay, okay, okay. He has to make a Conflucidivision saving throw. I'm sure it's gonna be fine, but if he beats 15.

He does not beat 15. Oh, fantastic. Very nice. Very nice. She's gonna take seven plus six is 13 damage, and he gets knocked back 10 feet. Number one? Yep. How much damage is 13?

Yep. Of the Thunder variety. Okay, once again. What? What ability is that? That was my thunderwave. Thunderville. You want to get to the brang! And you hear the power cord and it knocks it.

Wait, he takes the damage, I need to do a saving thing. He gets knocked into a dead feline. And he fails, and he just knocked, he gets knocked into a dead feline. He stumbles back to Fee. That was fine. Very nice. Nice. Nice.

All right, I'm going to pull out the spoon and just charge at him. Number two. Number two, over. It's so close. An all, green? 26 to hit. 11 damage, and then I'll follow that up with like a knee to the groin. Okay.

Wherever his groin maybe. 15. Yes. The most epic battle music of all time. Sixth match, done the way man. Get out of my face. Oh, so good.

Okay, you hit him in the face, knee him in the groin. As you hit him in the face, You hit this ogre, he almost drops his crossbow. It's not moving on. With that, it is Kat's turn. He's looking very wounded, but he is almost as if he is being compelled by this ogre to attack, he's going to attempt to claw you.

Quatera? Five, he misses as he does this. He misses his claw attack. And then that's all he can do. Toil, you're up. Wait, no, hold on. It takes a chance. So, Dex saving, though?

Oh, deck savings to go. 14. That's a fail, or you'll take six points of damage. Hey. Nice. Hey. As it fails, if you hear a, as the Flames here spins,

and it's furred nights on fire, and it's cooked alive and falls down. Nice. Wow. So now, from where the sphere currently is, is it more or less than 30 feet to that o's, more. Oh, wait, for that over?

No. Straight ahead. No, no, no. That ogre fine. Three, four, first. It would land in her space. Yeah, you can get in the genie. But then she would also get her if she ended her turn there. But you could end it literally because it was here. 5, 10,

15, 20, 27.5. That's not good. I can't do that. You don't get cooked a lot. Well, technically, let's just think three-dimensional. Technically, you can go, one. No, no, I mean correct. It can move up five feet. That's true.

I'm saying that if anybody ends their turn near it, they'll get hurt tall. Well, 10? Five. You could literally go... It can jump over objects five, five feet tall. That's what it says. Oh, so it can go up 20 feet? No, no. He can jump over obstacles five feet tall

and it can jump gaps 10 feet wide. You can put it in damity spot. No, I think I'm going to actually... do is move it 30 feet like up the, up the wall, basically. Just put it 30 feet up there. And then move it, so yeah, three up and then go three over. Yeah, that's fine. Okay.

Yeah, cool. We're gonna do three, yeah. We're gonna next point. It's close enough. This is closer. Are you trying to get to that? Eventually, it can only go so far, so it's good right there.

And then I'm going to firebolt the, the one that's closest to Janby. Yeah, can you fill him, please? Trying. My, my, no, I can't. 10. 10 to number two? No, like the, the ogre, that's, yeah.

That's in my chance. Oh. Okay, so Jamni swings at number two doing a number of damage here. Sorry, I wasn't thinking. To number two, Zad. Did I go? Did you?

You did go, right? Well, hold on, I just went. Felix, yeah, you went. So now it's Jamity. Okay, go, we're good, we're good, we're good. Good, good. She's attacking number one, she does some damage here. Oh, how much is this?

Almost, almost. Almost. She looks the bullet up, rips, rends the flesh, and he's looking very weak. Meanwhile, it is their turn, and he is going to turn, and once again, shoot his bolt at Jim, because he keeps his last one to do it, and he's gonna miss flies off this cliff,

and doesn't do anything. This one is going to, because Herod has been the one that's been fucking with him. He is going to attack and dismanage. And that's going to be 13 misses. And he missed to block it with your shield. They both miss. And now so is right.

Send me straight over to the over that's down there. And I am going to attack, else I lose my rage. 15? Just we went offline. Does it? Did we? No, I mean. No?

No, we got bit right, gone. We're good, guys. I mean, I think everyone would be freaking out. 15. 15. 15. A bit hit. I've rolled one every single time.

Fuck these days. Oh my God. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Eleven damage. Number one. You take your mole and you slam down. You hear a loud crash as like brain splot, flies everywhere. As he collapses to the ground, yeah.

It's unfortunate. Okay, Iris you're out. Same thing. Channeling? Hurried or you're up? I'm trying. Wait. I'll take it back.

Try a half of the foil. Nine. Misses. You swing your tail misses. Carrella. Oh. I'm not from. No.

Chris you're out. I'm singing, but I'm not doing inspiration. I'm just, I don't want to wait for this fight Ogre, and then I will do the six damage. Beautiful. Sorry, five damage of T-force damage. And then I will reload my bow and give a shot at number two. Okay.

And that'll be a 19 plus a million. And then I do an additional nine damage of piercing. Okay. And I'll move up next to one. you rack his brain and then fire, the Percholosal hits his shoulder. He's looking rough. Okay.

Lofthi, you're up. Alright, I'm going to... You're gonna finish to make it happen. Yeah, I'm gonna jam my spoon, like, up into his nose and try to break his nose. Go ahead. Hits. Um, nine damage.

Okay. And then I will... Follow that with like a Stooges job did I. Okay. Nice. Natural Swanee on the line. Okay. Oh, wow.

Personally, I love natural 20s because then you get to roll double the dice. Me, personally. I love natural ones. Roll the dice, please. What are you? Red leather media. Red leather media, nerd crew. Before you do that, Lutty, how would you like to do this? You're the finisher.

I want to jam into his eyes and pull them back out with the eyeballs on it and then be like, Peeu-Pew, you're so cute. So, I can be able to do that a little first, and then I'll Pee-Pew. Okay, so you take your huge spoon and you smash it into the ogre's face. Comey, you hear a lot of sickening crack.

His notes breaks, blood is gushed. and while he's busy grasping his nose kind of heating forward, you leap up, shove your fingers into his eyes, you hear him thicketing, and you rip out, and you, and he falls back dead, look, he does the little beetle's business, and then pukyo, they fly off way down the cliff.

So, the ogres, the ogres, oh, So, funny story about that, completely off topic. I saw, I've never seen... How many's restaurant? What is it called? She was Vaughn't? And my friend had, no.

And so my friend had that movie, and I was like, let's live and let die. And she was just like, we can't, we can't talk to die. I always recommend people start, if you've never seen it, because Lauren had never seen any gold, any I, uh, any I's. Any bond whatsoever. Uh, start with Casino Royale.

No. It's excellent. No. It's excellent. It is really good. No. It's good. It's good.

Okay, so that's not true. I have seen A. James Bond. I saw Skaffa. There you go. I saw that one. With us? Yes. That's what I think. That's what I think. But if you don't have the context of the previous films, it's not worth it.

Okay, but Adele sings the main song for it, so. There you go. I'll incorporate that tonight if I think. I would love that, but you have to do it. Yeah, thank you. Some of them are pretty dated, but the older movies are good too. Golden Eye is the best James on a film. It is. 100%. By a wide margin. Yes. Hands down.

Do you mean Golden Fish Eye? Yeah, I mean, lost eyes here. No, I just, Pierce Brosman was my Doctor Who, you know? Yeah. My Doctor Who as well. I love Doctor Who starring, I don't even know. David DuCutney. David DuCupney and Eddie Murphy in Disney's Haunted Mansion. It was Dr. Who.

Before we continue, I had a... A friend whose dad looked exactly like Pierce Brosnan and she wasn't allowed to watch him as James Bond because of how sexual it was because of like the mom worried about her being attracted to Pierce Brosnan that she would project on her dad. The electric complexes. Okay, let's not talk about Electra. That's a dark story if you have no Greek myths. Anyway, so moving on. So 10 minutes, like literally 10 minutes and like 50, or 9 minutes and 58 seconds, I'm going to put my arm down and go. oh god, I'm so tired.

I'm going to cancel my spell. Are you fucking kidding me? So, before that, we were in combat and I would have played on my viol. Bapapapha, ba, and then what? And then what's the little thing that goes after that? So it's not that.

So it's not that. So it's not that. You're not a sound fan then. And then Tifa does that like, everybody, every 12-year-old knows that. Oh, yeah. Man, do I know that? On repeat, ladies and gentlemen. If Tifa, anyway, we won't talk about my childhood.

That's like classic Iris. Oh my God, no. Oh, my God, no. Hey, now you see what to do over this. You tell him to try wig watchers. I try to do it work for me. By here, it works for my grandma. It's over, I'm leaving.

It was great while I was last time I'm taking the chips. So there are dead ogres all around you. There are dead cats. You were on the side of a cliff. And you can kind of see that eventually, this pathway that you're on eventually gets to some kind of precipice and then continues onward. Do the cats look unusually magical in any way?

Are they just large felines? I'm not. Make an autonomous check. Can I do a cat? Make a nature check at advantage at advantage because you're a cat. One more two-blank. It's really hard.

I'm not too much. So do nature? Nature. 15. They look, despite, they look like very large beasts. They are cats that are not like your standard lions, tigers, mountain lions, and the like. But they are very, they seem natural.

But despite being very vicious and large. large. I was going to suggest that we pick these saber-like teeth. Hey, T. Is there anything on the ogre in front of you? I'll kick, and I look around and look on the ogre. D.M. We'll check. Making an investigation check, why do that?

And then we'll flip over for the title card. I think I got a six, pretty sure. Six? I don't think that's enough. You find six gold pieces and seven gems. You look around both the overs. We'll just say the party's looking.

And you find seven gems that are kind of this, this orange, just brownish with a gold center. So each year one gold piece from the overs. Correct. Let me just make a note. Oh, man. Lou, blue, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo. And then we get what?

Wait, who found them? Which I did? Yeah. So I'll pan one gem to everybody else. So that means I'll take the extra lot. Okay. It's what? It's an orange gem? Yeah, it's orange is brown as gem with the golden center.

Can you add stuff like that in the Ndb? Yep. Like a gem? It's a tiger's eye. There you go. I'll just say it's tiger's eye because. D&B Brown. Do you get gold?

But you can have custom items and stuff. You can. But like saying, oh, a brown is gold. I'm like, oh, I need to go to the jeweler to look at it. Plus one gold piece and plus one tiger fight. Jim, do we get an estimate on how much we might estimate that to be any badmett? You don't have any idea. In order to trade that in. Can I intelligently? Because I would have seen gems in the city.

I would say that's true. I would make a history of an intelligence check, whatever your preference is. May I make a stone cutting. It's not on here. Do you have more? Do you do you be on? Yeah. Make a stone cutting intelligence.

That's crazy. Whatever that history check. 21 on me. 21. Yeah. That's seven. So you have no idea, Hersia. You're using more metals and the like.

Gems, whatever your family is forte. However, Capri's been to do a lot of pawn shops in his time. You guys don't know what a pawn shop is, but I'm going to look up what that is. The moon must be made of cheese with all the holes that's got in it. Now we know the moon is made of green cheese, but if we're made of barbecue spare is what you're saying? I know how... I have...

seconds, then wash it down with a nice cool birdwatch. Geez. Wow, these look like they have the Chetoyancy of the Tiger's Eyes that I've seen in Galtica. I would say that these are worth a pretty penny. I don't know how much, but definitely I know what my GnG is. Whatever it's worth.

It's up there. It's like right there. Oh, is it? Yeah. The priest will look it up in his memory. Anyway, you're all standing at Jammin and he said, well, I know that all you guys are good in the pantry. We've already had a lot of fucking battles, but I feel like we should keep fucking moving

let any more of these fucking cats show up. Yeah, let's move along. Can we try to be as stealthy as possible so that it'll surprise us, or almost surprise us? Like, last time, I was surprised. Yeah, I was really, really hurt when that bolt literally, like, ran through my arm and out the other side. You see all that over there, though?

That's my blood. That's why I ran over as I took an opportunity attack. Thank God he missed. But you like lost over half your blood. I know. So it warns you of danger, while weapon is on you, you have advantage on initiative roles, you and any of your companions within 30 feet

can't be surprised except when incapacitated by something other than non-magical sleep. Weapon magically awakens you and your companions within range if you're sleeping naturally. Well, I wasn't surprised by mechanical mews. I was really just surprised. It was very surprising. Yeah, it was just surprising.

It was surprised. It was really not a better word for it. In a philosophical sense, I was surprised. I gotta be honest, I'm in pain. I agree with everything the chickens are saying. But what's most important is that both of my biceps, on absolute agony, I spent like nine minutes and fifty, eight and seven building them up the air, crawling the rain.

Bluffie? Yeah, oh, yeah, oh. I've got it. I've got it. Oh, oh, oh, oh, that's a little too. No, no, a little softer. You know, I'm only gonna need a tron fusion, but I'm glad you biceps are okay.

God, me too. Wow. How you move so swiftly. Anyway, are we getting close to the top, Jamitie? Are we still quite a way to go? I think we got a minute of a way to go, and I think we're getting there. We're making some good fucking time. You know, you could probably sell these in any of the pawn shops

that I've been to for 10 gold pieces. 10 gold pieces. It's not bad. I mean, I guess if you're becoming it, it's not bad. It's a huge amount of money. That's crazy. What are you talking about? need much money. I just, there's some wizardry things that unfortunately require money.

I'm not really in search of riches. Well, I mean, things require gold. I mean, you can't be originally business with silver or copper or anything like that, right? Correct. Sorry, I misspoke. Gold is magic. I appreciate that. Do you guys mind if we took a short rest and feeling kind of Uftach, if you know what I can? I think that's up to Jamty here. Jamty probably knows better. Is there a definition can use in the sentence? I'm not back here. Like, I'm pain. Like, ouch? Like, ouchy? Yeah, but we say off where I'm from.

All right, so it's like air cheese. Jammy. That's right. We don't feel out. Is it too dangerous? Do we need to continue moving on? What? These fucking, you fucking stupid ugly sons of bitches

that she kicks one of the dead ogres. They had to have had it rolls down. She kicks them off the cleft, it rolls out. Oh shit. It's fine. They had to have some sort of fucking camp with these Kid Cats somewhere around here. I figured

that's got to be a relatively safe place for us. It's a great idea. If we could find that camp, perhaps we can rest there. Agreed. I think it's a great idea. Yeah, just a little bit farther, I think that that makes sense. Find us the camp, scared? Is that, I thought camp was like a material that used for clothes?

Camp? Camp? Camp. Kemp. You're talking about camp? Camp? No, Kemp. Kemp, right? Kemp? I think I knew a tobacco named Kemp once. Jammy, please find him.

Trying to take Kemp, right? Kemp. Yes. Yes. Please find the camp. The Kemp. Hold on. You ever heard of shank bite, Kemp?

He's talking about someone named Kemp. I don't drink. I'm not surprised with how fucking wound up you are. Let's fucking go. I can't afford. I don't want to talk about this right now. Let's find the Kemp. I'm sure you're also saying I can't afford to not save myself until marriage.

Let's fucking go. I'm wearing the full armor of the Raven Queen, thank you very much. I take a swig of whiskey. You Korovakians are the weirdest sons of bitches. Okay, let's go. And she continues and leads you. And you eventually wind your way up until basically the top of this cleft. And you can see that it continued, that you're reaching,

You're past halfway to the very peak of this bluff. But, however, there does seem to be a little bit of a camp here. There, you find a couple packs, as well as boxes of these massive bolts that are so large, none of you would be able to at least make use of in any kind of crossbow. But you get the sense that this is like the ammunition, as well as a lot of bits of red meat in varying states of decay, as well as resting places where you get the sense, we'll just say you get the sense that these were

where the cats had been kept as well. You see iron chains and collars that have been unlocked as well as a key in these packs, as well as these large, crude, strange looking glass things or about, like, yay big. But as you kind of reach the top of this cleft, you realize that you have an incredible, nearly 360 view of the entire, all of the land around you.

As you realize this is basically, it seems as if it was a lookout of these over creatures. And so this is what's immediately available. Jamie, why is this place not being, I mean, it seems like there should be someone here, right? Like, well, why are we the only ones here? Did we kill everyone who was looking out at this point? Or are they all now going into the center of this bluff

and doing whatever they're doing in there? I mean, that's a good fucking question. I know that these are a bunch of ugly sons of dishes that fucking do their things. I've always hated brokers. And I would have expected a good number more than what we fucking found. But maybe we just are blessed by some.

kind of fucking love god. I don't know any of them, but I may start fucking worship them. But you don't worship anyone now. No, absolutely. Which like a pamphlet for a new piece. It's not necessarily the luck god, but when it comes to tipping the scales, he's the god you want on your side. And it kind of looks like you, based on all the jewelry. He does not look at all like her. She looks like a strange fur creature and an o'neous looks like a jacket. Does he have a really cool looking head? Does he like a strange creature, I think.

I cannot believe he just called him strange fur. Dear Amubis, God upon the mountain, I apologize for my friends, and Shuki die. In adventures, I will allow him to pass on to the afterlife. So I'm not gonna let that happen, no work. Thank you, Felix. I appreciate it. Is that lame?

Yeah, I've got to say, do you fireball? Yeah. Boom. And my friends, have you heard of our Lord and Savior Murdon? I mean, I've heard of more than I'd like dwarves, I mean, no offense. I'm just, I don't like dwarf gabbets or anything to do with dwarves.

No, I'm taking. I just wanted to know if you had been pressured. So in my previous employment, I was compelled to fucking worship this jackhouse name Maglubia. And I didn't take too fucking kindly to that. And I don't feel very much. I'm not appreciative to being compelled to mortise you're going to fucking God. We love you. Goodbye. Bye.

Whoever's leaving? Austin. Goodbye. You hear. You hear. Got him. Yeah, that Mr. who was never gonna make it in whatever is, yeah,

we don't like him either, we don't like that. Well, that makes fucking two of us. Yeah. Well, yeah, it did the right thing. He did the right thing. Even though you don't work, Shepard, and that's okay, you know, I don't want to pressure it on him. Just wondering.

Well, I appreciate you that. That's very open-minded of you. Yeah. Well, are we making camp here then? I will, God. Oh, fucking pakeress. And let's not. No.

All right. But not for too long. 15 minutes. So from this, from this, uh, vantage point, what can we see? As on how you're looking.

Well, I'm going to use my eyeballs, and then I'm going to use Biotruses eyeballs. So use your eyeballs. And you see that the side of this, you're basically on the back side, which is a lot. Here go, the rest of this massive stone formation

behind you is kind of blocking the view of the moors in the direction that you came. However, it is a great overview of the Krola Mountains ahead, as well as the pass that seems to be where all of these forces seem to be a mass. You look around and you can see just swarms and swarms as far as the eye can see. All throughout this mountain pass, in varying ledges and passes.

Hill giants and ogres and massive beasts. You see the flocks of these strange red birds and you look up. They look like these hawk creatures, birds and prey of some kind, but this unnatural red color to their feathers. that are flying above you, not as much, but they're swarming all above, circling, circling, circling, circling, this amassing of forces. And you can see that there's some kind of circling going on at this mountain pass,

but it's too far away for you to see. So does it look like they're stopping at the mountain pass? It doesn't seem to be that they're kind of stopping, that camps are being erected. Some rudimentary tents are being erected. But it's very difficult, just with your naked eye to see. Thank you so much for listening
