Welcome to Legends of Evantris.
I'm Iris and you're listening to Beneath Dark Wings.
Here's what happened last time.
I think for now we should at least investigate something clearly needs going.
You can see the movement of the ogres on their great beasts.
There's a human. He's wounded. He's being attacked by a river troll.
I think we can make it if we rush.
I need to get an aura.
I thank you, friend.
My name is Nestor Warren Strahawon, the 3rd.
Yeah, your leg looks awful. Why don't you take your pants off?
You'll take a lot and I'll just...
You should head it to put just bluff.
How convenient.
I know, it's almost like we're playing Dunstonsons and Dragons.
You look around and you can see just swarms and swarms as far as the eye can see.
Hill giants and ogres and massive beasts.
Are we doing others for rest?
I would say you can enjoy an hour if you'd like.
I need to.
because I have no other points left.
I could use it as well.
Are you singing us a song?
I am, I'm just thinking.
Oh, sorry.
That must have dropped on your foot.
That's fine.
Thank you.
That's not fun.
I just give me a wink, and I'll, and I'll, like,
I can see clearly now the yogurt's gone.
All of the savors are now in the dirt
That was lovely.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What does it do?
Or you're just doing for fun.
No, you get additional
You roll every, or for, yeah, as long as you roll one die,
you roll an extra DECIS.
Hot dog.
I'm topped off.
It's less dice than a normalita.
There you go.
Br-da-da-a-ha-ha-doggy.
So if you used to be hit dynes,
during the short ones.
rest, you can add 1d6 for free.
Oh, I use all my head dyes.
Oh, you did?
I wasn't going to correct you, but yeah, you did.
Close them up.
I may have thought her name was Isis at one point.
Shit, all right, let me see what were my rolls?
Iris.
One, eight.
That's fine.
Everything's good.
I'm not.
He was a seven.
Yes.
Oh boy.
Okay, so the party's enjoying a long, a short rest.
A long short rest.
It's a long hour.
So you're now sitting, you've collected your wares.
You have these, the tiger's eyes, you have the gold,
you have these long looking glass type contraptions.
You have a lot of, you know, you're, and you finish,
you feel a bit more restored after.
The contractions?
You're basically like long spy glasses, but they're huge.
Like almost as if like a telescope, but basically for an ogre able to just.
Can I try to like, pick?
one up and look through it.
Okay, yeah.
At the thing.
You're going to look at the town.
So I'm going to look, I'm going to pick it up and look at it, see what it looks like,
and if I can use it, and let's get at least a better look at the red birds and the gathering.
Reception.
McGythery Misses, ooh, deception as, deception, is four, so 19.
19, okay.
I'll say you pick up this, this looking glass, and it is massive with your guilt.
But with your Goliath strength, you're able to look into it.
And it actually telescopes your vision incredibly far.
You look down and at the center of this mountain pass,
you actually see a, when you look up and you see these birds,
and they look to be, like I said, like these hawks,
just kind of fly them all around.
Various birds of prey, but they also have this blood red coloring
in their feathers.
And you notice, you just see just dozens and dozens and dozens,
hundreds and more of ogres.
You see their massive horn beasts.
You see these same similar saber-toothed cap-like creatures
in packs or larger.
All kind of coalesce around this mountain pass.
And at the center of the mountain pass,
we're able to actually see that there seems to be a
circular, a circular flat structure.
Looks incredibly ancient.
And there are two figures standing.
One is a hill giant
that seems to be even larger and fatter
than any of the others that you can see.
Making this track.
With a strange kind of
of like rusty
rusty
metal
circular
not quite a crown
but like these awkward
feathers are kind of plucked into it
or not plucked into it but fastened up upon it
almost just like this strange kind of like headdress crown combination
and it seems to be
considerably larger with a massive
massive tree trunk on its back.
The other is, the other figure in this center,
is a ogre, considerably larger
than the other oger's that you've seen.
And this one you see looks a little bit different
as you notice kind of, as this incredible device that you have,
telescopes in and you're actually able to see that it has,
not just one, but two has.
as they
this
this ogre creature
is two-headed
and
fully armored
and with an elaborate
set of like full
gaudy armor
and the amount of metal and leather
it would have taken to fit
this huge body is incredibly impressive
almost with this kind of
strange
a fixture on its back with spikes all along it, with a variety of skulls on every single one of the spikes.
They look around and seem to be waiting for something. As you look through, you can see past the overpass.
You remember that you'd kind of left the clockwood and had approached these highlands,
enter these highlands. And it seemed as if you start to see
on the other side of this mountain range, the forest continue.
And sort of stretch out to the lands below
on the other side of this mountain range.
They seem to be waiting for something.
Hey gosh, I think I see a lot of stuff and I relay everything I just saw.
But it looks like they're waiting.
That's a lot of stuff I just saw, but they're waiting for something.
And I'm not sure how I have any of these things.
Can I bring one with me?
Would it be unreasonable to do so?
I mean, you could like strap it to your back,
but it would be like a massive, a massive weapon.
At least for now, while we're on the bluff,
I want to keep it on me.
I want to keep one.
Strap to my back.
Before you strap that thing down,
you didn't see any blonde hair out there, did you?
Let me take a look.
I look for blonde hair out there.
I'll keep your perception check.
You don't see any blonde hair.
Gage how far away that looks.
Am I?
It's far away.
It's very far away.
It's about all I got.
I mean, like days walk, half a day's walk.
Maybe not.
Probably, you know, half a day's walk, I would say.
Okay.
You would gauge that.
They're not very far, but they're surely far enough where...
Yeah, day's way.
I think we can do what we want to do here without any interference in there.
Okay.
I guess my question is how long would it take a ticket to them if we feel that's something we need to do?
I mean, I don't think we can take an entire...
army of ogres and giants.
No, just a couple
really, you know, put me on my knees,
I'll tell you. Yeah, that was two of them with two
Kit guys.
That's I'm just worried what they might be up to.
Yes, kits.
Yeah, no, I got you.
You can be able to? Kits.
Was there any other path around them, or does it look like
we had to go right through them to get
to continue on our journey?
Well, there was a more dangerous path that we
stuck, right? So, you got the sense
that this was a path through the mountains. You know that the
mountain range basically ends at the furthest port north.
Generally, most travelers just go around and then head towards
into the rest of the Corvacia.
But this seems to be a path that just cuts directly through the mountains
at a particular point.
So that's just the difference there.
So this is a shortcut versus...
You would probably, I would say, make that assessment.
So should we go back then?
I don't think Jamonie wants to fight these guys with us.
I don't know if I feel comfortable doing it either.
Well, I think at least while we're here, we have to get to the top
and see if we see any of those bull creatures.
We'll find Nora, or find Felix's brother, or anyone else.
Yeah, honestly, I'm inclined to just go up and watch.
I mean, we're going to be able to confront an army.
I agree.
We can just hunker down and kind of just observe.
I guess the question is, if we do find out that the bull creatures
are working with these creatures, then what?
I mean, do we just take that information and hope to, you know, sit on it, or do we want to, I mean, I guess we wait and see it.
The whole world is a mess.
We're not going to fix the whole mess that is this world.
Sure, I agree.
We might not be able to stop this, but knowing as much as we can know, I think, is an endeavor of value all by itself.
All right.
Then perhaps you find a better vantage point when we hunker down for a while and just kind of watch them.
If when we get adjacent to where they're at, if there looks to be like a tower or some sort of a place where they might have Nora, then maybe it's for that or reason.
But until we get closer, I'm not willing to make a call right now.
I just think that we need to spend the next few hours getting in there.
Agreed.
Maybe you just keep an eye out for Nora.
Maybe if we find out more information, they could be waiting for, I mean, she could be like a sacrifice, and that's what they're waiting on.
Yeah, if she gets pulled out to get sacrificed, we need to know.
going in what we're going to do and and be able to read each other because she she could get
sacrificed and honestly as much as any of us are compelled to jump into that arena and try and save
that girl there are there are hundreds of over there and we're not going to i mean i i can make
teeth look like horses but i can't compete with that kind of power to be fair oh i'm sorry you didn't
never mind this is that we don't even know if they happen all we know is that
what's his face, Norvester, that he said his sister's been gone for a while.
He doesn't have any confirmation that the overs or whatever they are happen.
So we're certainly looking at her.
I think operating off of the assumption that she's already been captured is actually a negative for us
because that puts a sort of disadvantage and we don't have that information.
I still think we need to find out what they're up to.
Regardless of whether she's with them or not, I just don't like this gathering.
I think that you make a good point there, Iris.
I would say if it doesn't look like she's been captured
and there's no obvious place,
then we might actually expect an attack from her
if she's about to jump into the mess herself.
I have no idea what her plans are.
If she's captured or if she's safe and on her way.
Jammey, can you leave us the fastest rat from here to there?
Are you familiar enough with this bluff of
area. From the top of this fucking place down the way down there?
Exactly right. I mean I can certainly try. I mean it's gonna take a bit to get down here. We're good ways away there, Skinny.
I appreciate that we're you know maybe a four or six, seven hour walk from where we're at, but if you know the more specific way we can we can go around and avoid any natural terrain that might slow us down, that would be great.
Well, let's, why don't we finish what the hell we're doing here, looking for whatever
it is that we're doing. And then we'll discuss.
Don't we need to get to the top of this butcher's hook?
Yes, I think we should at least try to get to the top.
I don't see why we would climb 90% of the thing that I just found.
Cliving 90% of the way up and then going all the way down, it'd be like casting a healing
spell and then until the last second to get it.
I was just about to make that observation.
You did yourself, that's fine.
It would be ridiculous.
It wouldn't be very ridiculous.
It wouldn't give me very ridiculous.
Your words, not mine.
Well, thankfully I've never done anything of the sort.
I take another swig getting down to like the one-third mark on my whiskey blast, and, you know,
let's get to the top of this motherfucker, so what do you say?
Sure, or we can walk to the top of the cliff?
That's what I said.
Yes, yes.
Can you just take us?
Do you think you can carry that large?
Of course you can carry.
Let's go.
It'll be a bit heavy, but I'm going to try, at least until we get to the top.
If we get in danger, get rid of that thing.
That's fine.
I'm going to drop this, I'm not attached to it.
But if I can use this thing at that top, I can see it all the way I agree.
You literally are attached to it.
I've attached myself to it, yes.
I suppose that's right.
Well, let her you know if you need her to lend you a hand.
I'll see what you did.
Let her to know what?
Don't worry about it.
It was a very clever pun.
You may just not have heard it, but it was very clever, and I appreciate that.
No problem.
I will request some resistance.
I'll hear at your service.
Thank you.
We start to make our way up to the end.
We go to the fucking top.
So you have left.
Did you investigate?
We investigated the ogres and got from gold coins.
Who did we take a question?
Does anyone roll an investigation roll?
I do.
I will.
I don't know.
Whoever wants to roll an investigation roll
can assist the other.
So I investigated already, I got like a 19 or 20.
You did a perception check.
What's the thing?
Oh, you're right, JK.
I'm looking around.
Then I'll help you.
I'll help you.
We can help you up.
With advantage, investigation?
Mine's a plus seven.
Oh, 17.
Very nice.
17? Felix one.
Okay, so you look around and you start looking around
and you actually find the subject that I described
as immediately available to you.
After kind of looking through these packs,
you actually find an additional 27 gold pieces.
Oh shit.
27 gold pieces, kind of stashed away.
Or splitting that up.
and you find, if I can fucking find it.
Need to power my magic.
Go!
Let's go!
Most times divided by six is six, I think, no, four.
You find a very strange robe.
A rope that is covered in this kind of strange, like, viscous,
the strange, like viscous coating on it.
That seems to be kind of like rudimentary,
But it seems they've been kind of in climbing gear for these owners.
It's surprising that they would use these.
As if they were meant to come, as if they were more proficient
in kind of scaling up and down these blossom clips.
Okay, well, I'll pocket the 27 gold, and then I'll take a closer look at this rope.
And I get a sense of what's going on?
I would say that with co-assisting you, you would have to be a discussion.
I was going to say, if he's being assisted,
You'd see.
Hey, Toa, you know, I found this gold.
I think we should split it up after we go through this encounter.
I'm not going to spend it, you know, sneaking around and fighting, what have you.
Do you have no anything about this rope?
It looks a little unusual to me.
I could take a look.
I mean, there's these big volcanoes for my home islands that I'm probably climbing a bit.
I'll take a look.
Yeah, yeah, take a look.
And I'll look at the ropes and investigate.
Make an archimpsion.
I'm talking it through with you.
Look at the fibers.
Okay, fine.
You should probably
was the wizard for Ocone.
Eighteen.
Oh, he's just a magic fucking god.
You need to take a short rest in order to experience this.
So you pack it.
You put it away.
Well, let's keep it with us in just in case
that happens to be magical in nature.
I don't know if it's it's.
this looks the way that it does because of the way that it looks the way that it does.
But, you know.
So why don't we evenly divide up this gold?
There's 4.5 gold pieces of person.
Well, we can't just, you know, I mean,
somebody's going to get a little bit more gold.
Hey, everybody, we fought from gold.
Kim, do I have changed?
I probably have some change, right?
You have changed.
I'll put in change, and so we'll evenly divide it.
Four and a half gold.
Four and a five gold.
Four and a five little.
And the road.
Do we do, uh, is it, is it 10 silver per gold?
in your campaign or is it 100?
Yes, it's.
It's D&D not World War crime.
Oh, I love World War II.
I would like to convert all of my money to Electrum.
Electrum doesn't exist.
You birth from the flame.
Oh, sucks!
Yeah.
You burst from the flame and die.
Hold on how many?
Four and a half.
Four and a half.
So four gold and five silver.
So you kind of get the sets
and you actually find, one of you would find this
a kind of tattered scroll.
And-
I wasn't helping.
It's not a spell scroll.
Ah!
It has a really rough seal, no actual stamp
in the actual wax, and it's just been rough open.
And it's been just like the worst handwriting
in a language that you can't understand.
You're gonna, yeah, so I've broken the seal.
and I've looked at it.
Yes.
No, the seal has been broken already.
Oh, the seal already was free.
It was loose.
In the language you can't understand.
From Infernal, Eldish and Abyssal?
Correct.
Okay.
I will...
Hey, Felix.
What's up?
You're good with this kind of thing, right?
I can't speak any of these languages here.
Sure, I can take a look.
I know a few languages.
This is a script I'm not familiar with.
Can you take a peek?
Yeah, I'll take a look.
What script did we determine this?
I do not know this script.
Would you like me to list the language?
Yes, I would like you to listen.
I know Celestial Common, draconic, elvish, nomish, primordial, and sylvan.
You do not know any of those.
Do we know what alphabet they use to draw it in?
I would imagine it is the same as the dwarish and all of that business.
Oh!
Yeah, I can't read this. I know like nine languages. I can't read this.
Toa, you know, this is probably like an ocher script.
If it's John, I could just like a Dwar script.
Probably read it, is it in the Dwarven script?
It might be giant.
What?
Let me take a look.
Do it.
I look.
It is giant.
Yeah, what is it?
It's very clearly written in giant.
It references, as I grab my notes here.
I can't wait for all the languages I know to be worthless for the rest of the session.
The time is the rest of the campaign.
Nothing is more worthless than Grico choosing Fay Beast.
Is his fucking Ranger, like, like, mod,
favorite movies?
We're literally in the Fay Wild, and he goes,
yeah, do I send any, uh, fake creatures?
I'm like, yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I want to fix some things out.
He's fain.
He's the barrel and he's very sneaky.
That's the bottom of the barrel.
Yeah.
Oh.
I love playing the characters that are useless.
It feels the most fun when he's the most useless
mechanically.
That's awesome.
Because I'm just, I'm just,
I, you know, anyway.
Until you're not 20, your thorn away.
Until, yeah, until I, yeah.
So Toa relays this information to you.
That it is a letter.
Doesn't sound like Toa at all.
Yeah.
Uh, informing.
Like, go fuck yourself.
Hey, man, hold on, hold on.
Is this okay?
Do you want a hey man, you want a jet?
Okay.
I'm reading this letter in Giant.
That's pretty good.
I can speak it.
I'm cut my opinions, kind of doing voices,
so why are you surprised?
We're devolving a little bit.
A little cryptic foot watching.
A little bit.
Hey!
Hey!
Prejudice!
Okay.
It is addressed to,
you get the sense that is addressed to the two individuals
that you kill them.
It says that to keep an eye on the ceremony.
Uh-oh.
Mm-mm.
It then says,
we will only provide
the humans
once the transformation is complete
and the Horn Legion makes good on their word.
Oh, God damn it.
Notify my hawks immediately
once it finally happens.
Signed,
as far as ogres would sign,
but it's very clear. Tholog, the bushes.
The bollog, it's...
Thou log, it's thawlog, you've been...
I am inspired.
You smell so low.
T-H-O-A-poshrophe L-O-G.
Oh, it's a fantasy rule, so it's got me a lot of...
So it's an apostrophe log, actually.
So apostrophe long.
Yeah.
The actual frenzio and the pos-o-o-lophoffi-l.
So it's so long so long-o-bar.
Yes.
Apo-Posophy Z.
Yes.
Good old caposophy saw.
Kai apostrophe saw.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
That's the letter.
Don't tell me.
If you want to relay back to Toa,
even though he just read it to you.
Toa, even though you just read this to us,
we learned that there's a gentleman named
Tholog the Butcher.
The posthi-log.
And he wrote the letter to two folks
who shot me in the chest very rudely.
There's a ceremony.
And he's waiting for the Horned Legion to deliver.
So is that, have we heard of the Horn Legion before?
Yes.
The Horned Legion was mentioned by the Bull
creature that I confronted.
Okay, that's what I thought.
I just want to make sure we actually heard that
and it wasn't like meta knowledge.
Nope, you heard about it.
Where's my iPad?
It's sitting here right next to me.
It's under all over people tells.
Oh, could you pass that to me?
Sure.
Lejeune.
It specifically mentioned providing the humans
only after the transformation is complete
and if the Horn Legion makes good on their deal.
And also I think they've got some humans to sacrifice.
Mm-hmm.
So.
Nora might be a part of that.
There is wrong.
So it sounds like they're kids.
capturing humans and delivering them to these ogres or capturing them.
And, well, hold on.
So it's the letter to them.
It's orders from Thola the Butcher to the ogres you just killed.
To keep an eye on the sermon.
To keep an eye on with, you can get a sense that you said,
that we will basically keep an eye on those and will deliver the humans once the Horn Legion makes good on their word
and the transformation there's a weird
question, but do I think that the log
is a male or female man?
Please don't seduce the or
make an intelligence check with
disadvantage. You have no
fucking... So,
I hate to say this,
because I know we didn't want to get involved with these guys.
If they're trying
to sacrifice humans, we can't
allow that to happen. And more importantly,
it sounds like they might have humans that have
beef plague. Well,
I'm wondering if it's clear
that, so when I look
with a thing, they're all gathered
around the stone circle.
They must be waiting for some kind of transformation
at that circle.
I agree.
So it sounds like we still have time where they don't
even deliver the humans until some kind
of transformation is complete. I assume it's
until once they turn into beasts.
You think the transformation is what
happened to Amos? I do.
Amos. It could be, yeah.
Anus. Anus. Yes.
Aen. That sounds right?
Heron Amis.
Amos.
I hate all of you.
Yeah, I know.
That's exactly what I think, Caprice.
Capricci.
So it sounds like do we need to just
hang out then?
Until these guys show up?
Well, I...
I don't really want to fight an entire army, right?
We're not equipped for that.
But maybe we can disrupt the ceremony
and unfortunately as it is now
we haven't heard back from Gruber
to see if his
treatment has done anything
to the afflicted soul that we had earlier
we don't know if there's any way to cure this
and I don't want to go slaughtering humans wholesale
to prevent them from being sacrificed regardless
I don't really know what to do
but maybe we can just disrupt the ceremony in some way
and get in and get out without causing too much attention on us
Nice, right?
Continue.
Just throw an idea.
I mean, we have time, so we have some time to sit and talk
and figure out what we want to do here.
I wonder how much power Tholag has,
and if we might be able to forge a letter from him,
the seal on the top is broken,
but I have the ability to mend that brokenness.
And if we could write our own Toa,
if you would be able to write something in a similar kind of script
that's Tholog here, given that you speak the language, we could write our own ticket. The Horn Legion
has betrayed us. They're coming this way from battle. You need to head east right away.
You know, we could send some directions, and that might be meaningfully important. Assuming Tholod
isn't there to dispute it, we'd be able to, you know, cause some disarray.
I do really like that idea. I guess the question would be, who and how do we get the letter to?
You know what I mean?
Like, we don't know who reports to Phil Locke.
Well, this is my thought is that if we were to have your bird,
pick up the letter and just drop it from the ceiling
into the middle, someone would pick it up,
and then news would spread from there.
They clearly used these fox to deliver their various messages.
I think you're on to something.
I'm just, I'm playing devil's advocate here.
I prefer you didn't use.
that word, but if you want to play, you're trying to advocate.
I apologize.
Is that a .
Toe is that offensive?
He's a little devil, look at him.
He looks like a dame.
I'm playing advocate.
I apologize.
I apologize.
A demon advocate?
He's a demon on a book.
Maybe he's a demon.
I think I've dug myself in too far.
I'm going to tell my losses.
Anyway.
Sorry, go ahead.
It was okay.
I was just going to say,
Toa described two figures that he saw it down by
the stone tablet.
Do we have any idea?
that neither one of those individuals is Tho-Law.
But how do we not know that the two-headed one
is not Fulag?
No idea.
I just thought, I mean, if it fails, then...
I think it's a good plan.
I think it's a good idea.
Yeah.
I mean, it doesn't really blow our cover, you know?
It causes confusion either way.
I think you're honest, how well do you think you can mimic
the handwriting of this letter?
How well do I think?
I could do it.
You toa?
Yeah, me toa.
It's like I-Claudeus.
I think- An intelligent check at disadvantage.
I think the priest can tell you what to say,
but you just have to be the one to write it.
Nine.
You are not very confident at all.
I'm not very comfortable as well to do this.
Listen, I know it's scary, but I believe in you.
This is gonna seem really weird.
Well, when you actually write what I write,
what I have to have you write on the letter,
does anyone have any parchment?
I don't have any on me at this time.
I do doubt me.
Okay.
When you write this, I'm going to turn the scroll upside down,
and you're going to write the letters as if they were upside down.
That'll actually aid you in this effort.
And you don't have to write actual words.
You just have to copy that here's the A, and here's the equivalent of a B,
and here's the equivalent of the C.
Because write them in order, and once we get that far,
it might take a little while for us to actually transcribe this,
but then I will apply the seal.
mend the document, and then we can drop it in and let this information bomb do with the
right idea. All right, so what are we going to tell them to do?
I would propose that we start with the signature at the top, Solog the butcher,
and the last thing that he says should probably be something along the lines of,
the Horn Legion has betrayed us, abandoned the bluff, and something along those lines.
We probably add a clause in there that something along the lines of the humans are no longer valuable.
Leave them to starve in their cells.
And we can pick up the parts afterwards.
And again, I think this is a good plan.
We'll have to figure out what we're going to do with any number of infected individuals.
We have to be careful.
We don't accidentally spread this plague.
Yeah, no, I mean, you've really put the fear of me when it comes to that front, given what we've seen so far.
so far. If there are any infected individuals or they're close to transforming, we need to be prepared
for that too, but at the least we might be able to persuade the folks to disperse or hurt
their alliances. Whatever is keeping them together. Let's try to damage that as much as possible.
And again, I know that where I come from is not the best place here, but, you know, the military,
and again, what I saw was an illusion. The military was burning these people alive wholesale.
There doesn't seem to be a cure.
And we need to eventually reach back out to brother Gruber to find out if his cure is working.
As of now, there is no cure.
I do want to write him as soon as we get to our next center of civilization,
be it town or a city or something along those lines.
Man, I so wish that you had grown up in Galta de.
Your brains would really have been appreciated there.
Thanks, man.
That really means a lot to me.
Let's give it a go.
Shall we draft this letter?
I want to write it first just so that I can translate it in a giant.
Okay, write it just on your in your own hand-reading.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then I'll do the whole hand running thing.
Just tell me what to say.
The Horn Legion has betrayed us.
Leave the humans, return to me,
so long the butcher.
How does that sound, everyone?
Yeah, simple and sweet.
I think that they would probably respond more to a little more veracity.
Leave the humans to rotten their cells.
the worthless.
Oh yeah, no, he's a butcher, right?
He's a butcher.
He's a butcher.
Cut the heads from their bodies and leave them in their cells.
Leave the human's worthless flesh.
I was told that recently about a dwarven flesh, so I feel like that would be meaningfully
important.
The, what's a strong weak word for the, to call the horn legion?
The stupid, the, the, puiline, cowardly.
Poonie is good.
The puny and cowardly Hornley June has betrayed us.
Lots of carrots and like edits and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then the rest.
Let me just reiterate just to make sure
that you guys are clear.
You are on Butcher's Bluff and the top,
and then what is ahead is not that.
So they're the mountain pass.
So instead of saying abandon Butchers Bluff,
say something like, abandon the ceremony,
abandon the altar, abandon the...
All right, more carrots.
Just to further specify.
Thank you, thank you.
Abandoned the previous
ceremonies.
Yes, perfect.
They also-
Thank you, John.
I love it to say that.
To us, wasn't it.
Now, should I, do we want to sign it by,
what's his name?
Yes, if you want to know a thawad,
there's an apostrophe.
I don't know what that looks like, I'm giant.
But he, if he's down there,
wouldn't it be weird
that'd be sending orders via bird?
We discussed that?
I agree.
I agree.
It would be weird, but the worst case scenario is that it fails and we're still not revealed.
Do not speak to me about this or your life will be in my hands.
I'm in repeated enough of this project.
There you know.
What you said?
Yeah.
All right.
And now to give you the deception, I will turn this around and I will tell you what letters and what order.
So pointing here and then here and then here.
So I'm basically rewriting all the ruins upside down.
Make a deception check.
Could I give him guidance for this?
I would say so, yeah.
I will...
I will...
I have proof, look, there it is.
I don't have a D4, so I'm just gonna do it easy.
I'm gonna grab your hand.
Me goutes.
May anubis guide your hand.
Me gustav.
Me gustav.
Me gustav.
Me gustav my mouth.
No, me goose.
These are yours.
Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.
Deception, 20.
No.
I will look at the, does it look like it?
Comparing the two scrolls, does this look like about the same?
Does it look roughly?
It looks pretty good.
I mean, I can read this certainly and this really look like it.
All right, I'm going to scroll it up and I'm going to remove the wax seal from the previous letter.
And I'm going to apply it to the face and I'm going to use mending to crisp the scroll.
Okay, nothing has been broken.
You crisp it up.
Oh shit, man, man.
Yeah, men, man.
All right.
I put it into my fucking microwave.
When I first created Caprice, he was a spy.
And then we will, we dialed it back.
Yeah, we dial it way back.
Now, if you give this to Beatrice,
then we can maybe turn some heads here.
Have Beatrice just take it to where he thinks that Central or she.
I actually am not clear on that one.
Yeah, Beatrice is a female.
Oh, okay, very good.
Have her take it all to do.
to sort of what looks like a centrally leadership-like location and just drop it from a farm?
She'll do the best as she can.
Is Beatrice, is she able to change forms at all?
Like, can you make her look different?
No.
Okay.
It's worth a shot.
Actually, just one moment.
While I handle cards.
Greasy caprici.
Yeah.
That's good.
Gross.
God of the universe.
If I use minor illusion to color her.
like the other birds we've spied.
Is there a range distance on there?
Is there range distance, yes.
So here's the thing to my other character,
like meta knowledge, I can change what Beatrice looks like,
but Felix won't.
Oh, yeah.
I can re-cast find familiar as like a ritual
and have to take whatever form that I want it to.
But Felix wouldn't ever be that.
Okay, definitely.
And it's like a 30, like 50 goal or something like that.
Yeah, because you have to essentially re-semin your family.
So minor illusion, it's the 38 range, so it's a 303 range.
So it's a 33.
All right, well, there's one thing I can do.
I think that she'll be able to fly high enough
in any kind of detection.
I mean, it's literally just a flyover drop,
and she'll get in and out.
Are we ready? Do you want to give it a try
and set up the telescope and see what you could be done?
We'll be ready to duck out of sight just in case.
While she's flying over there, we should try to get to the top.
Yeah, as soon as we can.
And then I can look with this big thing on my back.
All right, I do my little whistle.
Okay.
And then I take the scroll and I telepathically tell her the plan and hand the scroll over and tell her to use her best judgment as far as, you know, I talk about the two figures and where we think that there's going to be some sort of...
Is he going to be trying to fly stealthy to avoid detection from all the hawks in the air?
Oh yeah, yeah, definitely.
Okay, can pull stealth for Beatrice please.
I can try. You can try.
Certainly sure.
I actually don't know what her, I wrote her stats down, hold on.
I got a nine plus whatever, this, and I think it's actually, she's pretty, don't they?
Plus two for decks.
So I don't think she's just proficiency or anything, so it's probably just an 11.
Okay.
Which isn't bad.
So, she flies 50 feet per second.
So she flies, she takes off.
And while she takes off, we want to like start making our way to the top.
Okay.
You start making way to the top.
Do you have any sense of how to do you have?
sense of how Beatrice does?
If she, like, gets horribly killed, do you have any idea of that?
Yeah, you would know.
Okay.
I think he would know that she would die, but once she's out of 100 feet, I believe that you can't
look through her eyes at that point.
What's her A.
Her A.C.
Her A.C. is 12.
12.
And how much eight feet does she have?
One.
Okay.
Can you continue up?
Yeah, I don't think I would know.
I don't think there's any...
Let me look.
You keep talking, and I'll...
How far is the psychic bond?
That's what I'm going to look.
The ability to actually, like, swipe in as 100 feet.
So he wouldn't know what happened to her,
but he would know if she died because of spell drops.
I would say that's fair.
I would tell it that it's fair.
A loose tingle.
Yeah.
Yeah, it just says when the familiar drops to zero hit points,
it disappears, leaving behind no physical form.
It disappears after.
It reappears after you cast the spell again.
Yeah, while you're within 100 feet of it,
that you can communicate with it telepathically.
So outside of that range, I'm just, well, I mean, yeah, that's fine.
I don't think I would, I mean, Nikki makes a point, right?
That, like, the spell.
It's similar to, like, if I cast hex and it goes out of range.
Like, I feel that that spell is no longer acting the target.
Same with Thunder's Mark.
Right.
If you give him sanctuary and he attacks, but I can't see it.
I would say, I didn't know.
Okay.
All right, that's fine.
Like her current iteration, right?
Okay.
Well, right, so she doesn't know if she just wouldn't know what happened.
She just just kicked off into the...
She just kicked back to the plane.
You would be able to cast, I'm familiar again.
Right.
Yeah.
So you set her off and you continue.
So you continue winding her way up and up.
And Damony is like, Wilson, you know, says,
well, I read finally, whatever fucking deception you're trying to
end Jamaica.
I hope it fucking works.
And so she's like, well, let's, let's keep fucking doing.
And so she takes you further and further up the top.
And so I just need to do a few roles here.
Go ahead.
So, Felix, as you're walking up, you realize you're getting closer and closer.
Right as you're about to turn, you're starting to get higher and higher on top of this strange hook-like formation.
And all of you are able to see more and more than that in-skate all around.
Getting a better and better man.
Felix, you suddenly feel your connection to Beatrice.
except.
Oh, God.
Guys,
something happened to
Beatrice. She's gone.
She's not on this plane anymore.
So I guess the letter dropped.
I'm guessing her.
Maybe went to the actual
plane or a plane of fire.
Does she lose that usually?
She wouldn't have been able
to take the letter with her.
It would have dropped
wherever she was when she managed.
I... God, I hope...
I don't know where that would have been, though.
About how much time has it been?
I'd say it's probably been about like 30 minutes.
You've been all kind of, you know, long.
She's a speedy creature.
I'd wager she made it actually quite far in.
At the very least, we probably have delivered the message
into the leadership circle.
I honestly can't say.
I hope she's okay.
We're not going to have her assistance for a while.
I would need time to bring her back
and that'll depend on what's ahead of us here.
Oh, we're just here to do the reconnaissance.
So let's get closer and see what we see based on this weird disruption
that I put into play.
Were we able to see her at all, because we're getting hired and fly.
You saw her fly off, but she's a bluebird.
That's a gay big, right?
And so she flew off.
And even those hawks were, like, you were a lot closer than you were now,
and they were just spuds.
Okay.
And so it's a very different point,
so you wouldn't be able to see her.
You do get the sense, though, that like, there were basically a lot of hawks flying around above this group.
And so Beavs was, despite her attempts at stealth, you're not sure exactly, it was still a dangerous mission.
So you continue further and further up until you kind of finally curve around in January and looks at you and says,
Well, this is the final fucking...
We're approaching the topic.
I don't know what the fuck we're expecting to find,
but I feel like if they still got some of these ugly sons of bitches,
it ain't gonna be an easy fucking task.
I'm guessing there are a lot of ugly sons of bitches up there.
I would propose, does it look like there are walls, right?
Does it look like you can walk along the walls
and maybe find another side,
Or does it look like they're going to be.
So there's basically the one path to get up
to the very top.
The top of this hook seems to basically kind of,
there's this little path winding along the top of this hook,
and then you get to the very top,
and then there seems to be a little bit of like a mesa,
like a little plaque, like a raised stone chunk
on top of this thing.
And you're basically, it's very difficult,
unless you want to start scaling it,
and trying to climb, and that would be a whole other stuff.
Should we go
And still?
Should we just very quietly
slowly
Make our way up this path?
Well, Jiminy, you're very stealthy
Could you perhaps go on ahead
Scat out the situation
Do you feel comfortable doing that?
I'm comfortable not getting
fucking sniffed out by some stupid
Son of a bitch ogre
A giant
That's what you fucking ask
I think that you'll have better luck
Going up there on your own
Than all of us going together
And to be fair
I'm not much for climbing
I mean, I'm not either, well...
I don't have any equipment...
I'm going to put it this way, Janity.
You come with us and one of us makes a sound,
you have an arrow enough in your heart.
You go on your own,
where you don't have to worry about us,
and you probably get out safely, right?
That's what I'm fucking said.
That's a smart fucking thing,
you get a cat.
Thank you, darling.
I mean, us hair gals,
we know what we're talking about, you know?
I mean, I wouldn't call myself hairy.
It's more like furze or like furry?
Oh, I guess mine is more hair than furrow.
What's the, Toa, what's the definition?
It's a good point.
What is the difference between hair and fur?
Put on the list, put on the list.
It's the same type of thing.
I won't, I'm sorry.
There's a good question, though.
I'm going to my last.
Janity, you've got exactly the point that I,
Irish is trying to make here.
This one is a whip.
Go, look at Calish.
Irish, I think you're making the strong fucking boy.
Let me just, and she just kind of steps into,
into the shadows of like the clapped
and the sun starts to sink into the sky.
And she, like, even like,
directly in front of you, she's very different to see.
And so she, she,
she's like, well, I'm gonna
sneak off, hold on, let me get
some of this liquid courage.
Okay, I think I'm good.
Okay, yeah.
And so she slinks off.
Her eye, you kind of see her golden eyes
in the shadows, and then they close,
and then disappear, and you wait.
You wait about probably
10 minutes, and suddenly
the eyes open up right in front of you.
God,
Wow.
How?
Oh,
Oh,
no, Dakota,
you fucked were working.
Hey, I'm a friend.
You got her.
I mean, I drive me.
I mean, that's the thing.
If you fucking blind me,
you keep running.
You know, your weapon ain't gonna pick up nothing.
That's true.
That's true.
The whole fucking point.
So there's a giant son of a bitch.
He was a giant, conveniently.
Go on.
I've had a few hits.
And I think that fucking butcher
ass won't this be on them.
The butcher girl.
Yeah, and then we get too close to the giant,
he's using his fucking massive girth
to block the path further,
but there's a lot of fucking blood all over
the goddamn place, let me tell you.
Your plan may work then.
He's not down there with the rest of them.
Well, how good for me?
How do you know it was the butcher?
Yeah.
I saw a lot of fucking cages
and a lot of fucking hoax thrown up.
Are we at a point where we can see
the gathering still?
You're on the other side now,
so you probably need to get to the very top
to kind of get and see that,
unless you go back down.
I wouldn't, I think.
What was this, what was his name again?
It was Toothog?
Stow log.
Dolog.
Um, Hedja actually made a great point.
How do we know he's the butcher?
And what I read out, or how do we know that it's him?
Um, it's interesting, right?
We're looking for Toothog, the butcher on butcher's Bluff.
Let's give it up for Butcher's blood.
Oh, that's a great point.
It's very convenient.
But he's a butcher that he just looks.
That he would be here, yes.
And he stands on a rock floor.
formation that looks like a look, regardless of if it is him or not.
Jammin, do you think that we can take him?
Do you think that we can fight these, how many are there?
I mean, what do you think?
I saw one fucking hill giant.
I didn't go past that because, I mean, they may be done sons of bitches,
but they have a strong fucking nose, so.
And I haven't been in a while.
I don't know if you can smell.
Oh.
Yeah, we can smell.
Okay, well.
That's my answer.
That's my main fucking concern.
I think we could take one.
I mean, there's a big motherfucker.
One or two of us may get fucking flattened.
Can we distract him and maybe bring him away from the gate?
We could lure him down here and fight him or away from the butcher.
Can you have Beatrice, like, go up there and sort of annoy him?
No.
Oh, right.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's all right to cry.
Now's not a sound.
Come on, Caprice.
You just went through this.
You know, Caprice, back where I'm from,
that's called a big oofta.
Oh, it's a oofta.
It's a big oofta.
You know?
Big old oafta.
That's all I got.
I just think that we should lure them down a little bit.
Jamadi, are they ever Goliath in these kinds of war bands?
Are there really any Goliaths around here?
It would be very strange if I attempted to approach them
and speak giant and act like I fit in somehow.
Some fucking skirt wearing
some of fucking strange
looking son of a bitch like you and all them
fucking dead you have
I've never seen
I've lived in here my entire fucking life
and I had never seen anybody like you
scratch that plan
We'll just scratch that
There are no dumb ideas
That's right
That's right
No dumb ideas
You can go back down to that
Where that troll was and just put a bunch
of mud on you and you know
Maybe that'll help cover up some of those tattoos
It could just help me
Well you have that thing right
You were talking about like as long as he's been
30 feet. Maybe you could do
like something with a skin? Yeah, I mean
I can do like sort of like
and I do this and make myself
kind of ogre-like or troll-like.
It's on and off.
I can do it pretty much as a drop of a hat,
but I have to be pretty close to you in order to make that happen.
I like the idea of luring them down here
and we just kill them. I think that sounds fine.
Maybe you could just knock them off the cliff.
Oh yeah. When one fell swoop.
Oh, I'd like that.
I mean, can I see this?
come this guy?
You're a bit further down than where she was,
so it would probably take you about maybe a five, ten minute walk
to get to where this.
You'd be able to see this giant.
I could try to snipe him a little bit
with my hand crossbow, and if you connect.
Sure, but we could do it from 120 feet away.
So we could at least get him down to 120 feet.
But he may alert, if you're ticking him,
he may alert the rest of them.
We should try to.
Going down with like food or some, can you do like scents?
Can you maybe do like the smell of food?
I think I have any of my dad at Tristan does that.
No one has a priest and vegetation?
Jamity, when, where he's standing,
is there like a nearby cliff or something along those lines?
I'm pretty sure that the walls of the fucking cleft go up around it.
I mean, you can drive him down here for a cliff,
but that's where he is.
Doesn't seem that way.
Okay, so there's no immediate drop.
That's unfortunate.
Not as we go past them,
let him up towards, I assume,
is the fucking butcher.
I think that's the best thing that we can do
is probably try to get around him
and take him down as quickly as possible.
We're really serious about getting in here.
Alternatively, we can ignore them all together
and try to scale that cliff there.
I don't like the idea of the climbing.
I appreciate the idea of avoiding calm.
but I just don't think we're equipped to do any kind of serious rock climbing.
Also, if I knock him off the cliff and then he falls down to the bottom,
you know, whatever's going on down there,
sure we may be interrupting it, but then they might hear us,
and then they're coming up the cliff now, and then we've got two problems,
one in front of us, one is behind us,
and then we're going to get royally fucked in the ass.
I mean, yeah, and the faith holds as well.
Sorry.
I think we just go up there and kill them.
I think we can handle ourselves.
I'm with the talk.
I feel like we wasted a lot of time
and then waiting for a transformation.
Let's get up there.
Let's get up there.
All right, let me go first.
Oh, here's your one.
Can we fit side by side?
You're pretty wide, but I'm pretty wide.
I don't know.
You're gonna knock me off with your big old muscles
and I'm like half your height is.
You go in front of me, how about that?
I'll be your off tank.
Okay, I'll...
And then I just start bolting in.
I'm just getting around behind him.
Okay.
You start running and the rest of you fall behind him
and Jamie grabs her hat and fastens a little bit of,
well, God, I think we're gonna be fucking smart, I guess so.
And she's like running behind you.
So you start sprinting and you're running up.
You curve around with this winding path that's upwards.
You're sprinting.
You are sprinting and you're going out higher
and as soon as you're going to, and as soon as you're going to,
the strawberry starts to increase and you see the occasional tree start to pop up.
and the walls along you, this stone wall
sort to kind of rise up as you're kind of going
through these clefts and crags
and almost into these cannon-like structures.
And as you're just running, running, running,
you start to see an enormous shape of flesh
right ahead of you as you see the very top
of the bluff right ahead of you.
In front of you is this small enclosed area
with several trees, boulders in the area,
but blocking this an enormous hill giant.
Its skin is gray, his face is ugly,
it's carrying this horrific club with shards of metal.
You're spring, you're not even attempting to stealth,
and it hears you coming.
And it just goes, it just heaves its weight up
and start shouting.
I'm gonna run up as he's screaming,
and I'm going to yell at him.
I had only no comment on.
I don't know Giant, but I'm casting friends on him,
the enchantment pantrip that gives me advantage
on persuasion, charisma checks.
Okay.
And I'm gonna yell.
We're sorry, we're late for the ceremony.
It's important that you let us through right now,
and you have to head back down to the bottom of the hill.
You cast it.
What do I got a roll for that?
It's not a U-roll, it's I just get advantage
on all charisma checks directed at the creature of my choice.
Okay, make a persuasion check at disadvantage.
Oh no.
You can speak the same language.
So it balances it out though, right?
If you see the rules at advantage,
it'll make it regular.
Yeah, so it's like one is one.
Yep.
Look at that 20.
You got 20, everybody.
You got 20.
Holy fucking shit.
Holy fucking shit.
Holy shit.
Mikey, Mikey, you gotta give it up.
You gotta give it up.
You gotta give it up, Mikey.
Come on, Mikey.
He's like,
rationalizing the world.
I was like, you got to put it.
I was like, you gotta pick the good dice.
You gotta pick the good one.
So you shout to this giant in a language that,
hold on, let me see if you understands that.
Once upon a time, a young rogue tried to,
persuading an angry bull to do something that he wanted it to do,
and the bull told him to go fuck himself.
In a language, I don't think he understands.
That's the problem.
And he stops forward, and the,
he hesitates for a moment.
He hesitates for a moment.
He hesitates.
And I would say that if you decide to attack him,
you'll get a surprise attack on him
because he's so flabberates
because he got a 30.
Is he near any kind of ledge or anything?
Let us unveil the fucking match.
Oh, shit.
Oh, no.
Oh, we've had the map up this whole time.
So it's close to you, Kelse, so it's this business.
Yeah, they've been watching Martin's Kahn.
Sorry.
You can.
There's a lot of cans.
Oh, she's just water.
Seltzer.
It's water.
Whoa.
Bhabba.
Bhabo.
So this is the giant, like he was glick sitting right here, right?
So we're running up this way?
No, you're running up this way.
Oh, okay.
This is further up.
Got it.
I gotta see this.
That's fucking gross.
Yeah.
Yeah, you want to show that people.
We want to show us.
Can I'll show.
I'm not at the entrance and order that might be.
Yeah, you guys place yourselves.
I'm not too concerned.
I'm at the front.
This is him.
There he is.
Look at him.
The wolf man.
He's pretty gross.
He's pretty creepy.
So Mike, where is he?
Sorry.
He's kind of in the center there.
Just, yeah, that's fine.
So he, just by the sheet,
he doesn't understand what you're saying.
It's very clear.
But my sheer confidence.
But the magic of your Bard's spell
and how convincing and your swagger is
makes him hesitate.
I will give you that.
That is the most I will give you in this,
in this circumstance.
Toa, should you say something?
I don't know if you understands.
Um, uh, I,
we're in the middle of like,
I was like sprinting at him, right?
Toa,
tell him to just run past us and down the hill.
The,
I'm gonna keep running at him,
but I'm gonna just, I'll say that.
Just, um, in giant.
I'm gonna be like,
run past us, just let us through.
Make a persuasion try.
That's what I'm 20.
That's what I'm
Shut.
What up?
Are you serious?
Are you talking serious?
Get it out with that man.
He's got to get him.
He's going to be like, I'm never DMing again.
You ruined my pizza!
You see this lumbering oak with this massive,
hideous club and it's just like,
okay, and it's just like,
And he just stumbles down past you.
As he continues.
Do I kick him now?
Do I kick him?
No, I don't think we.
Don't touch him.
Just run.
Just run.
You're lucky that hill drives are completely fucking moronous.
That is the only way that's rationalized.
The only way that's rational like to do.
Fuck you guys.
That's great idea.
Unbelievable.
Derek always does this.
I know when you're going to roll.
He basically says you're going to get a natural time.
I do it.
I know.
There's your time.
There's a moment.
It's magical.
I think Derek is like a
one in four hundred a baby.
Derek is the devil's advocate.
The loa is really going to
fuck with me later.
I'll tell you.
He's going to collect.
We're running through and,
okay, that will have you break?
I can't believe that one.
I want to look, is there just really quickly
kind of glancing around the area?
What do we see?
You look around and you just see kind of the remnants of,
and the smell kind of hits here.
As you're running through the remnants of this,
this hangout of this giant.
They're basically like the skeletons and bits of flesh
of all sorts of varieties of pig, cow, go.
As if this giant has been sitting around
is eating, waiting, guarding this,
Philalong, the butcher.
And that's really just kind of what you see as you're running.
What does the perimeter look like?
These walls are just natural.
So these are, it's like sheer down.
You also get to sense that there's probably about 10 foot wall
of natural rock all around.
Okay, so we're talking about rock.
But it starts to kind of descend as it then veers up
on another pathway up to the very top of the bluff.
And then it's just basically just the peak.
No, not seeing anything of immediate interest.
We gotta get out of here.
That hill giant's gonna be back right away.
We should keep going.
100%.
I just keep sprinting up the path.
You keep sprinting on the path,
and all of you doing them, and Jamies and he says,
What the fuck are we doing?
God, I've been so easily brined by a liquor and beer.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
He's like holding on her hat as she's running.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Come on, you got a whip, let's go.
And you continue around, and all of a sudden,
the ground starts to get, you start to see more, more,
or smears of blood as you continue.
And you start to see up ahead of you,
iron cages, hooks, all of these kind of contraptions,
all just built up on the very, very, very top
of Butcher's Bluff.
What can I move?
I will just say you can move all of them.
Oh, shoot.
We did it.
You can push it towards making one.
Oh yeah, that'd be great.
There was, there is.
The map, the math, I clapped when I saw it.
I clapped.
Oh, God to give it up.
Got to give it up.
Fine, penis.
That's the dick.
It's literally right there.
You know, I just want to think of two decks,
but where?
So, I don't see it.
I don't see one.
Well, we'll discuss.
As, as you, as you, as.
It's like a jumbo deck.
It's so big that you almost.
As you run up.
You see cages.
Okay, in cages more than I drew there
because I just didn't care.
I stopped giving a shit.
And you just, you see.
You see a center table with all of these horrific mutilated pieces of meat and bone and flesh on top before you is a large, large ogre.
This kind of grotesque leather hood over its head. A weapon over its shoulder that's a long handle, but with a chain and a huge hook at the ant hanging. And you see
who's in lead, Toa?
Both you make a turn of checks.
I'll say the first two, always make a connection check.
14.
10.
Toa, I would say that you see
very light movement
in some of the cages.
Do you see any blonde at all?
It's too, you're far, too far away
to gauge you see movement, that's all you say.
Stop, guys, stop.
Hold on.
All right, stop.
We're here now, but we can sneak in.
No one's noticed us except for the Hill Giant, who, I don't know, I just sort of screamed
down, and he just ran down. Thank you, Tomah. And he listened to what I said. I just literally
repeated exactly what you told me to say. What you also do notice, however, I don't mean
interrupt. But you see a circling of these birds of prey, these raptors that seem to be
circling directly over this point. As you see, you get a better look to him up, and you see
kind of perches all around.
Not currently, no birds perching,
but these hawks with those blood red feathers
just circling around.
That is the additional information that you say.
So do we, I mean, do we just go kill him?
Does anyone speak hack?
No, I don't know a fox's a language.
I mean, I can do that like.
I don't speak hawk, but I eat hawks.
Hmm.
Hmm.
It's kind of similar.
Hawk talk, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Hot talk.
Well, you know, we're just going to be a little bit of hokey-talkie.
Hockey-talkie?
Not to be confused with racky-tacky.
Or hunky-tanky-honky.
What's a rocky-talkie?
Or honky-tonky.
Oh, sorry.
I don't know what you guys are saying.
No, I have no idea what a rocky-talkie is.
I don't think any of us do it.
Is it a thing?
Anyway, should we just go kill him?
He's right there?
Well, so where are we?
How will we be right now, where we can see that, but then stop?
I see you're right at, like, at that little clap, the bottom of that, back, back, back, back.
Do we have, that one solidify the front?
Do we have Jimi, do you go check it out real quick?
Do you have Jiminy?
Sorry, I keep calling you.
It's Jamany, who's Jimmythew?
Janet, Jametty.
I ain't going any fucking near with that whole fucking sick of you at my back.
I mean, and what I'd say at my fucking back, I mean, at my fucking front.
I'll be in the back with my bull whipin' ass in my son of a butt.
I'm a bitch, but I am going in here alone.
We're all going in together.
Hey, you've got that giant lens on your back.
Can you look and see if he got the scroll we sent?
And see if you can see other details?
We send it out into the middle of the...
Oh, I'm sorry.
My apologies.
I was trying to convey that.
I appreciate now that it's two separate places.
My apologies, that's quite rare.
Well, you still have the lens, right?
I could at least take a bit of look at the...
Pneges, Pips.
Whip it out.
So, I'll put it out and try to see if I can get a better look at perception.
Perception check, I would imagine.
Do you have to be persuaded?
991?
Six. No, five.
You see clumpled clumps of human
like clumple.
You see clumped out?
And you see humanoid figures, and that's like, cross-ed rooms.
Yeah.
It's a cross-air.
I think we have a rare opportunity here, guys.
This guy's probably a bit, if he's delivering orders,
and he's all by himself, I mean, those hawks might come down
and cause some trouble, but I would propose that we actually
just get a, you know, the NBA make our way and kill a guy.
Can you do any of the stuff you just did with the other one?
While we're chatting, I want to cast major armor on myself.
Okay. You can do that.
It lasts eight hours. Okay.
And my AC is now 18.
18. Okay.
Oh, shit.
Why don't you do that when you wake up?
If we're entering combat, can I just say now if I can do Channel Divinity before we end up combat?
I'll see if you want to Channel Divinity now, that'd be fine.
Okay.
You know, I could just walk in there.
I mean, it worked out so well for us in the past.
I'd be very happy to this point.
Caprici, if you do that, I would love to sit towards the back,
obscured mostly by foliage or, you know, whatever, and watch your demise.
Listen, you did this shit before, and I told you I whipped your ass.
if you did it again. I'm not letting you go in there by yourself.
You didn't before.
Well yeah.
We both almost got her tails whipped.
Alright and that was a close call.
Well that time I really thought I had like a purpose and this is a very different.
I would just be going in there and making bullshit up.
You know, a little while.
Do you want to go in there with Toa maybe you could talk it out and convince him that you're...
I could translate and you could just tell me exactly what to say.
So why are we trying to reason with the murderers of like...
We're gonna just distract him while you guys
sneak up and kill him.
As interesting as this is, I need to talk to Caprice.
Hershier don't listen.
Yes, Iris?
Did you convince Hersha that she's a teethling?
She just mentioned having a tail.
Did she?
She said something about getting your tail between your legs or something.
You and I have tails.
She just had a tail.
No, no, no.
Oh, she means her...
Yeah, yeah, she just means...
Her...
...abottum.
Yeah, no.
Bozum.
What is the boot?
What is the boot?
version of bosoms. It's a buttocks.
Buzum? Oh, buttock. Botox, wonderful.
Did you just agree?
Apollage.
You just hope it's fucking whatever the fuck.
Octoberfest are all over by slowly.
You know.
You're in the splash zone.
It gives me the sea worlds in the front of earth.
It got on the map too.
Holy crap.
Well, now that I finally understand this weird thing
thing you have going on with your bottoms.
We can get back to the conversation about, like, talking to August.
Okay.
Well, my proposition is that, yeah, exactly what Hurcha says.
Instead of you guys waiting and watching me go talk to him,
we could go and just approach him and maybe learn a few things, Toa and I.
And while that's happening, you guys kind of do a little flanky type operation,
and then when the time is right, the pinchers come in.
Oh, you really phenomenal.
Toa can pretend like he's like a very very small.
small giant. Right? Or like an oe. And I can make more
like one from a different command. And then you can bring in
Felix and Hersia and Lufty and I'm going to stay towards the back
completely shrouded in secrecy and no one will know
I'm there in case things go around. And Toe will pretend
that the two of you, because you're like a devil
together, a part of this bull cult and that you're bringing
sacrifices. Oh yeah, I use that as a reason.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You should put the blood all over you
and you do the magic, magi,
and then you get rid of the chat tools.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's blood right here.
Yeah, yeah, roll in it and then I take it
like a prisoner.
Rub the blood all over yourself, don't.
Or you get the hose again.
Is there blood where we are?
There's a little of blood.
So as you're all discussing and debating,
you hear aloud,
as a hawk above you starts to fly in
and circle down.
towards the, towards the busher,
it lands on his arm.
We gotta go.
Oh, I suppose, and I just started covering myself in line.
When I say the secret word,
if things go wrong, if things go wrong,
I'll yell papaya and then we'll,
and then we'll, you know what to attack at that point,
let's go.
Okay, are they still on the ship?
As soon as the, as Tho Long looks at the
the bloodhawk on his arm.
He turns around directly in their direction.
Oh.
And what's happening, Toa?
Toa and I are running out there into the middle of this arena.
So we're going up here. Here we go.
So you run up here, he starts, he looks, and...
While they run up, I'm gonna pull rope out of my bag
and do like a terrible loose binding around my wrist
that isn't really actually a binding, but I look like
I'm tied up as a human sac, like to be presented as a
sacrifice. Make a deception check.
As soon as you step forward, he looks, and he says, bad.
Murdering beauty, her flesh leaves. And he steps forward, like getting ready to attack.
He says, really, uh, hold on, we come from the Horn Legion. Hold on, we come from the
whole Legion. Make a deception check. Oh, fuck, because you're...
Twelve? You look at you.
Jesus.
in you as...
So now I just get, ah, fuck it, and I turn the room down.
Oh my God.
I know, man.
Oh, man.
It's fucking hot.
Only toe can understand exactly what's that.
Oh, my God.
Looks angry at the rest of us.
Bye, bye, bye, bye.
Bupaya, you guys can position yourself.
Let me put on some battle music.
Yeah, I need it. I'm so sad.
I thought we had it.
Surely it'll work the 12th time.
the 12th time.
A time time.
We'll have telemaic amusement
change.
This will go great.
The DM's not fed up with our antiques
at all!
Okay.
Never use this bottle opener.
It's literally the most horrible bottle opener.
I know.
I will.
Is it the hour?
It's the hour.
Yeah, that's why I still beer everywhere.
I'm not.
I'm actually not drunk.
What?
Can you be behind Felix?
Oh, yeah.
It's just, it's just what.
Oh, Luey behind me.
So, I'm getting everyone to roll for initiative,
why don't we?
Yeah.
She was in the back, though, so.
Oh, my.
2012, I am.
Tomorrow I, invent those blueprints.
What do you want?
Tomorrow will.
How many five?
25.
Holy shit.
What the fuck?
I have a fun.
You agi folk are so absurdly fast.
Is it like a barred thing that gives you additional?
And Lucky Stone applies to.
It does. It does. It's an ability.
Okay. With that, we'll be 15 as one.
Uh, 16. 16.
16. So it's caprice and lufti,
as it has been in the past two combats.
Then it's Heria.
Then, uh, 10 to 15.
Then, uh, five to check.
Five.
I'm caught very up-gun by this guy.
A fool.
Toan.
I've got a fool, too.
She probably.
I let me talk.
Do you both roll ones?
I did, yes.
I can't believe it up to the Nanny Wong.
I love Nadi won.
I love Nadi won.
Personally, I love Nadiwong because then I get to abuse my place.
So, I can't believe we all three of us got Nany Wals.
I would prefer to go first, but it's a coming of the reader.
I will then roll for, I already know.
So Hrdew, when you get again, I apologize.
16.
Okay, boy, oh boy, monster's one.
It's one, boy, boy, oh.
Remember when we called Nanny One's Vandrises?
Let's all reminisce.
That's kind of messed up though,
because like, I'm a skill monkey.
It gets to a point where I literally can't roll once.
Yeah, you roll a one and you're like,
it's automatically a 10.
It's automatically a 10.
Yeah, I love that.
I can't wait.
I love that.
When I get to like level 2,
I calculated out.
Okay.
My persuasion will be like, the lowest
second roll is like a 20 second.
It's crazy.
Oh, I'm not going to stupid.
Okay.
Felix is dead last.
Caprice, you're up.
As this enormous ogre with the leather hood
is kind of hard to tell what skin is actually stitched down up.
He's swinging around this massive hook,
and he's rearing at you.
He's looking menacing.
I'm going to point at Toa, and I'm going to be like,
hearing his giant,
speak. I know how it sounds the way that he spoke the words in Giant to say,
we're of the Horn of Legion. And it probably was like,
bra-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bba-bba-ba. And I pointed him like,
bab-bhbhbhbhbhbhbhbhbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbh.
And then I'll test Tasha's hideous laughter on him.
He has to make a wisdom saving throw.
Oh, my God.
I love cards.
Is it?
Is it 16?
D.
D.
D.
He failed an underblake.
Yes!
He falls prone in laughter, and there will be additional problems later.
And then I tell him stop his head!
I'm gonna leave for that 15 minutes!
And then you see, you like, blah, blah, blah.
You recognize nothing.
It's not even close.
It's not even close.
I didn't know.
I'm sorry, I'm wrong with it.
This is honestly offensive.
It is an offensive approximation of giant
and by D&D terms, I will say.
But for whatever reason, Tho Log
immediately grabs his large belly, and he falls down
laughing.
Can fuck his game.
Look at him.
I'm going to run in and just seeing everything
and just be totally disgusted.
I'll back up to the group a little bit here.
I'm going to do.
I'm going to run kind of over towards the cages.
I'd like to read you an attack,
but can I just kind of peek in the cages while I'm...
So this is 35, so you still have one more square.
That's fine.
I would say make him touch and check.
Basically, see.
When you look around, you see, like, actual figures of human rights.
They're ranging, they all seem to be human.
They're ranging, you know, from various ages, various sexes.
But they do seem to be moving, fairly.
alive. But do I see any, like, beast humans?
Beast humans, you do not see that, at least immediately as you glance.
Okay, so I'm just ready and attack, if I'm attacked at all.
Okay, you're ready to attack, and you're in a defensive stance, ready to
punch the shit out of the sky, the attacks, yep.
His turn. He's laughing his ass off and I get to roll the wisdom thing again,
at the end of his turn he gets to, and if he has been attacked, he gets advantage on it,
but he hasn't been hurt since.
He takes damage now though?
No, no, no, he doesn't make any damage.
He's 16.
16?
He succeeds.
Okay.
That's the end of his turn.
Yep.
And Toa, you hear as like,
fresh meat, get over here.
And then with that, it's herder's turn.
He's still crawling the ground?
He is, he's prone, yes.
How does it work with disarming people?
Because if he's on the ground laughing,
He's still holding his book?
He's technically, mechanically still holding a weaponist.
How does it mechanically work with disarming people?
If you have something to disarm them, you can then do the...
I can't use my action to try to rip it out of his hands.
I do not believe there's an action for them.
You can pick it to me and I can see...
Yeah, you could maybe, like, you could probably do something, right?
Like, warriors or fighters have like a literal thing that's like a disarming attack.
I don't have that.
I think there are a few other things, right?
pitch is pretty, because ensarming is a very powerful thing.
Okay, I don't, wait.
Yeah, I'm just gonna run over and try to kick it out
of his hand since he's prone on the ground.
I say he's calling him.
Okay, okay, that's fine then.
Oh, I wasn't, that wasn't that funny.
So, uh.
My hole, number of all.
That's on him.
I will run up next to Toa.
Okay.
And-
We need new mini, so yeah, we do.
three, four?
I'll buy
either there or here.
That was two squares
you just moved me.
Well, that's three
squares total, it's diagonal.
I can move four, I thought.
You can move five squares total.
That's two diagonally,
it's worth three squares.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're good.
You're good, you're good, yeah, yeah.
Six first.
So you can do, yeah, one, two,
so you can get you there.
Uh-huh, I can't go another one.
Isn't it seven, half, seven, fourteen,
so you're here.
Yeah, it's just four diagonals.
4 or 5, you get there, you get there, or you can get there.
So, I 7.5.
You're 25 speed, right?
Yes.
I have 30 speed.
Oh, you do?
Yes.
As a dwarf, as a dwarf, you're 25.
I have 30 because of,
shield master does not give you five feet.
No, it's my weapon.
Something's giving me 30.
I don't recall.
Yeah, my speed went up to 30,
and it was either because of my weapon
or because of my shield master.
I believe neither gives you five, five speeds a lot.
I have 25 written in here and now I have 30.
I don't know.
I remember that, but then I looked it up
and there was nothing that came.
Do you have a SWAT nimbleness?
There you go.
Oh, maybe.
That wasn't me.
That was me.
Yeah, Andrew's saying SWAT nimbleness.
Oh, SWAT nimbleness.
Is that a feat?
It's a...
We get level four.
Level four, if it's a feat for squat nimbleness,
then yes, then that would be,
that you have a shield master as a feat.
I have shield master as a feat.
and was it because I'm a special kind of dwarf?
No, it does appear to be a feat.
But so you either have a shield master or squat nimble-ness.
I mean, I have shield master.
I guess I'll just say I'm 25, but I know I have 30 from something.
And I didn't take squat nimbleness, but all right.
So I'll just stay there and I'll take the dodge action.
Okay.
You stand next to Toa and you're dodging,
you hold your shield up ready to go.
Okay.
I look this out.
It is, as soon as he is,
kind of conscious, he is, he starts to call out and he lets out this roar.
And he looks out a roar.
All of a sudden these hawk circling swoop down upon all of you.
And four of them appear.
And it is, here, let us do.
I can play some one next to Iris, one next to Felix, one next to Felix.
One is the back.
Oh, uh, surely you may.
One next to Caprice.
Oh, no one next to Jamon.
To Jammini.
Okay.
Yep.
Jamit.
Can they be here?
Can they be off the path?
They're flying.
They're flying.
They're flying.
They're attacking.
Okay, so one is swooping in on Iris.
And that is, it's going to use a peak attack.
That is going to horrifically miss unless 13 hits.
It is not.
Okay.
One is going to attack Jamadie.
That is actually going to hit.
That is actually going to hit.
And you see kind of like peck at Jamie.
This is freaking horrible.
And then finally, or no, we have two more.
One is going to get on Felix.
That is going to miss horribly.
And then one is going to get on Caprice.
That is going to hit.
I cannot not hit Caprice.
Jesus Christ.
I literally cannot hit Caprice.
Stop controlling me last.
You always hit on the last.
Oh, maybe that's why.
Maybe that's what always happens to Gantz.
I'm used to.
That is going to be full points of purity damage
as the hawk swoop in and attack you.
I'm the Gangesh.
It's okay everybody.
I got some mass healing alone.
That's fine.
Man.
Hey, where's you?
I just see good people.
And with that, it's our turn.
I am going to just use my m-h-h-h-me-a-ha-h.
I gotta check something.
Okay, so I'm gonna use feline agility
to go 60 feet.
You channel your Tabaxi ability, and you sprint.
So I will take an opportunity attack from Mr. Verde,
and that is going to be 14.
And misses.
How far are you going?
You are blocking with your butler.
I'm just going along the wall, trying to get behind you guys
if I can.
And then I'll probably take one from number four, too, I think.
Do you difficult terrain for allies?
No.
I'm not going to use my full 60.
I just want to get right in front of Caprice.
We used to maybe.
back in the day, but I haven't been there.
Yeah, so I want to go a few up ahead.
Okay.
Yeah, like there?
Yes, and then I'm going to-
You run into this blood back.
He's he blood smeared all over the walls
as a full 360 of everything around you emerges.
And then I am going to look at the butcher
and I'm gonna cast Bain on him.
He has to make a Christmas saving trail.
Hold on.
Bain.
Bain.
You, you, you, you.
the mask.
For you.
Tell me about me.
Actually, what have to do?
You have to make a Christmas evening travel.
Maybe he's wondering why you should
man before you throw him out of a plane fails.
Great.
And so him, the one in front of Caprici,
and then the one in front of Felix,
are all effective.
Well, so the other two have to do it too.
Yeah, sorry.
So four and something else have to do two.
So I can choose up to three creatures instead of one.
You merely adopted the darkest spell.
I was born in.
You all hear out very faintly in the voice of Anubis.
Not actually, it's a con's voice.
Because that will be canon, but later now,
and it says, time for fear, doctor.
There comes later.
B.
And Bain goes out and does whatever it does.
So did the other two fail?
Oh, wait, wait, which just,
The birds?
Yeah, birds four and then whichever one is.
So I need a roll for, so what's you call a guy fails?
Four and one.
Bird four gets a natural one and fails no matter what it is.
And other bird gets an eight plus, yeah, so he fails.
Okay, so they all, if they make an attack roll or a saving throw
within the next minute, they have to roll a D4 and subtract that from the number that they roll.
Nice.
Okay.
So all does write, B, and can you just keep trying to?
track of which ones are banned and somebody?
How many are banned?
The big guy and then the one in front.
It's loading.
Caprice and one in front of Felix.
For three and Felix.
So Rich, if you want to put those on those guys.
Yeah.
So what's ones are? Sorry.
Caprice and Felix, the ones in front of them.
Capricio and Phoenix Theo.
So you hear as soon as this happens,
Iris sprints out using her feline cat-like abilities
and sprints out, and she kind of puts her arms down,
chandering the cowrooos, out from the ground,
these bindings almost looking like,
kind of like cloth wrappings,
starting binding at the hawks, binding at the ogre,
and they also need these mystical mummy bindings
are to kind of constrain them.
With that, it's Jammini's turn,
and she's gonna pull out her whip
and try to snipe one out of the air with.
with her whip, the one that is behind her.
Why not? Number three.
How big are the hawks?
Are they like, hawks size?
Are they bigger?
They're a little bigger than, like,
they're like probably like,
yay big.
Like a medium?
Like a medium, like a medium,
like a medium creatures.
Okay.
So they're big, they're big old hawks.
It's like a beggar eagle.
That's a hit, so, uh,
how much help they have?
Big old.
That's not a beagle eagle.
A bag old.
Okay, so the one behind her, number three,
she was, whewks,
and it was a poof of feathers,
and a,
The mist of blood is destroyed.
This one's dead?
Yes.
It's dead.
Please keep it.
I'll keep it.
I'll keep it.
I'll keep it.
What does it mean?
Toa, you're up.
Toa, you're up.
I will like to attack this guy with Bain.
One, two.
I would like, the divine weapon of what that is.
I would like, I will kind of get down in my stance
and my tribal stance and I'll use battle trance.
You see him use his tribal trance.
and I will...
He hungers down.
I will probably
attach him.
Pegman means this is great,
by the 100.
Twelve.
Twelve.
On the...
On the big...
On the bag...
Well, he's been...
Is this vein affected?
No.
No.
Unfortunately, he is...
Wait, he's on the ground.
He's on the ground?
Oh, shit, yeah.
There we go.
I keep myself honest.
Is that cocked?
Yeah, that's a four.
You missed your heart of less.
You missed a roll out of the way.
You kind of have some bits of stone and clay and earth
and blood spray up as your mole hits the ground.
Missing, unfortunately,
Fulestrade.
I am going to...
Okay, so when things are lying prone, though,
it's harder for me to shoot them.
It's a disadvantage if it's a rain attack.
We'll use fireball.
But you use flaming sphere and have no issue.
Chat inspiration to whoever knows the song.
I'm gonna- Oh my god, is that the first chat inspiration you've offered?
No, second.
We've got one in the first session, I think.
No, no, last session.
Last session.
Oh, really?
Oh, I don't know.
Who knows the song gets a chat inspiration.
One guy in chat wrote like a paragraph about how broke they were.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Like, all right, no hints.
This is something.
Nope.
I'm gonna drop Flaming sphere, 60 foot range,
right behind the guy, and I'm here to know.
You see one hand going to coat one hand.
and extend an orb, a sphere appears in his hand,
flies out directly next to a Tho- not Thogar.
That's where I stole his name from, but whatever.
Thorgaug. Tho-Log.
Tho-Log.
Tho-Log.
Tho-Log.
Tho-Gar, great boss from Warg-Far.
I love Garg Brooks.
I love Garg-Brugs.
A bonus section or no?
No.
No.
None.
Come on.
Caprici.
Oh shit, is it really?
Caprice.
Hey.
Oh, yeah.
Let's go again.
Let's get my ice cream.
I want some ice cream.
I mean, I'll just, uh,
is the hot-up next to me.
I just really want some ice cream today.
Yes, he is trying to pet your eyeballs out, so yeah.
Okay, I'll tend to cut his head off.
Okay.
Okay.
So 20.
Give up the national 20.
Okay.
Got you got you got.
Five.
Eight, thirteen points of piercing damage.
Oh my God.
So you do that.
You take your rapier, and you see a hawk head,
and it flies off.
That was a nice vandisie roll.
The body falls to the ground dead and hawk.
They can't hear that one.
Because those are called vandises.
Let me know if it's too loud.
This is just for the song.
Chan inspiration who knows the song is
I feel like I shouldn't know this
Should I know this?
Yeah, I'll move out of God.
I would admit so.
Uh, this is the-
Rich and I will be on one.
There.
Go ahead.
You run.
Okay, with that, it is Fluffy Surrey.
He's the East.
Okay, so he's still front of who.
He is still front.
He is now not down.
I'm going to go.
You run up to him.
Would you like to move?
You run up to, okay.
So is that good?
We're here.
The first blood to look to you, everyone.
You can turn it back down, though.
Okay, and then I'm going to follow that up with a kick to the face for my bonus attack.
You smack him down in the gut with your spoon, wha!
And then you do a kick down on his face.
That didn't close.
That's an 11.
11 does miss.
So he managed to roll out of the way as your foot comes down.
You did manage to get him with your spoon out.
Okay.
I'm going to spend a key point for patient defense.
Okay.
So you channel your key powers taught by Brother Gruber at the Mucks,
and you manage to get in a very kind of chaotic,
drunken sway, getting ready to dodge me.
What does that do?
Patient defense is just like to doge action.
Roll a dexterity check.
Oh, yes, you.
You're advantage because you're dodging.
It's on the end of return, right?
Yeah.
So you're advantage.
I forgot of the Slame sphere.
Flamesphere.
Flamesphere.
Oh, well.
And is your turn next to the Flaming Sphere?
Well, can I move her here then?
Because I just moved her anywhere.
That's fine.
That's fine.
She would have avoided the giant.
Yeah.
She would have avoided that is fair.
To be fair.
T.B.H. Fam.
It is a flame square.
May I have you put that on there?
I got one.
I have a copper one.
I have a bright, fiery orange one.
And do you want to tell the chat what that song was?
That was Fear Factory from Dogg's Down Country One.
Oh, yeah.
Level classic.
Someone requested to have you replay it.
Oh, will you replay it?
Well, we already repealed it, so.
We can replay it, though.
I mean, I'm just for fun, because it's epic.
Oh, I will replay it after this song.
Okay.
Yeah.
Fun fact, a ton of under channel music in my combat.
I've never played the game.
I just love the music, so.
Yeah.
It's a lot of, it's amazing.
It is amazing.
Gotta give it up.
Got to give it up.
With that, it is his turn.
He finally stands prone for the first time in this,
and he just,
takes his quote and use an immense swing.
And in one swing, two swings,
he's going to try to hook both ULufti and Toa
with each swing.
Make sure you roll a D4 and subtract it for each one.
I will.
I think I just dodged wrong.
So Toa, first swing horribly missed.
Do I, can I dodge now though?
How does that work?
She's a disadvantage.
No, you dodged.
There's disengaged and there's dodged.
They're both different.
Use patient defense.
Yeah.
Which lets you take your dog actions
a bonus action.
Then I feel like a nod.
So for all attacks until the beginning
of your next turn, they're all this advantage
and you have a good on the state.
You see him swinging and you see
these kind of phantom mummy bindings
like kind of pulling him in
as he's trying to swing.
Oh, baby.
And the hook's flying.
High is flying.
Whoa.
And so that's the first swing.
Second swing.
We'll do it against a Lifty because it's a advantage
no matter what.
And minus four.
Or minus a D-B-B-W.
Okay.
This is fine.
That's good, though.
You guys did that?
This is fun.
You ever have a boss that gets negative one?
She?
Mike, he's just going on.
He's still fake.
Oh!
A little bit of a scum.
It's been on a stick.
Swampful miles.
You never over a boss fight.
Like, you're going to, oh, man,
it's something pretty cool.
You know, it's not that that intends a boss fight,
but they just get dumpstered.
Terrifically.
Yeah.
Oh, he passes.
Oh.
He passes.
Thank you.
He takes four damage.
Hey!
He goes on rolling.
He's swinging.
Got it.
He's not able to say.
The laster, the bane, everything that counts
is making him, is making him miss.
He does take four points of damage.
So he hasn't actually been that damage though, so.
Yeah, we haven't really hit him.
You haven't hit him that much,
but I also need to re-roll for Bain.
Right?
I get to re-roll for Bain at the end of you should be turned.
I don't know.
I don't think so.
No, she just concentrates on it.
Okay, so, oh, great, well, that's awesome.
So I'm, I'm gonna replay here.
Is he was good?
Is he a very desiring part?
Not too.
Not too.
Let me know what's do that.
A little lower but higher than I was with.
So, this is your factory again?
Because someone requests it out.
Okay, her just turn now.
Herge's going to move up next to Lufty
and between the toe and if you can move her up.
She activated sacred weapon
before battle began.
So she's got that channel divinity going,
which means she could add to charisma
to her attack rolls.
And there is a 20 foot radius of bright light
and 20 foot radius of dim light,
just in case.
It is midday.
Her coat is glowing bright.
She's swinging in the air.
Dakota is on fire.
You know what it's really bright outside
and you can't tell when something's like glowing.
Damn!
Did you run a natural one?
Oh, no.
So did she hit with a five?
You're swinging and the natural,
whoa, oh, no, okay.
And then you grab her, you get out.
And you, oh, you should dog,
if the dog gets off the poda,
falls back down on your face.
You manage a dog and it's not taking any damage.
Well, I took the attack out.
even though I missed, so I can technically use that bonus action to shove.
So I would like to try to shove him prone.
You can do that.
With athletics.
13.
Uh, 23.
Well, fuck me. All right.
You shoved into him and you're like, oh, air!
And you just kind of like hit his gut and he just looks down at you.
And he gets ready to attack him.
Okay, well, there I am.
Um, out.
You like a hurricane.
With that, uh, the ch- are going to attack Jamadine and then, let's see.
horrifically, Miss Jamity,
one is going to attack Felix,
but he's Bain.
That's what he'd have 18 and C.
Damn, that would have been a natural 20.
So he still horrifically misses you,
so he misses.
What's an interesting question.
Do you naturally,
Bain doesn't affect natural 20.
He's vanished.
So one of my, my, my, yeah.
Oh, oh.
No, so it wouldn't.
Sounds weird out.
Oh, wait, yeah, no, it's a natural.
No, so it doesn't affect natural 20
in the sense that if it,
still hit, it's still a crit, but it can prevent it from hitting.
It doesn't matter because then with my second roll,
I was rolling at advantage, which is not correct.
I would have to look up if we agree.
So, you're right, no, you're right.
It is not hit, it is not.
So the miss, Iris is your time.
Iris, you're out.
Oh, oh.
Yeah.
I am going to just look at Bigfucker,
and I'm in the Toss the Dead.
So you told the Dead on Big Fucker.
Yeah, and so that's a wisdom saving girl,
and this also has the negative D4.
15. Oh, like the big fucker.
And that's with the D4?
Oh, no.
It is not.
Which is good, because my niece is 15, so.
13.
13.
So I'm going to hit him.
Three.
He's like, oh, oh no, yeah.
And his head just turns by the mummy bindings.
And he takes three points of, he has been damaged,
though, if that matters.
and he is getting fucked by pain.
With that, it is Jamby's turn.
She is going to just turn around and push.
And that will hit.
Never play a mystic.
Never play Mystic, whatever you do.
Catface Meowers.
And once again, a pool, a cloud of feathers and blood,
and the hawk just gets disintegrated by the bull web
and it dies horribly.
And Toa's turn.
I would like to, he's standing up currently.
Oh, weird. He is, yes.
I'm sick of, I would like to, I think I'm not that good.
That's not good.
No, that was so.
Undertaire was right, then it was a Pokemon.
It's not that good.
I would like to use the...
I'll just hit him, I'll stack him.
Hits?
Oh, why are you?
Name this song you know inspiration for the song but just name it.
14 damage.
14 points of damage.
Just do it.
You slam your mole into his gun.
He spits up blood on you.
He's 14 points of damage.
Holy shit.
Wow, what is that?
Oh, so fucking out.
I'm going to, wow, take a attack of opportunity.
You gave you a five.
Five.
Oh, guys?
Yeah, though.
Thank you.
Was he dead?
I don't think so.
He did.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Taking an attack of opportunity.
Oh.
He's still bade.
JK, jk, jk, jk, jk, jk, jk.
He's going ahead.
Hands and people and so forth a place.
Okay.
I've lost that day before.
That'll be three points of piercing damage as he beats
pecks into you.
Okay.
And then I moved to get better line of sight here on the guy
and not blow my friends up.
up with a fireball.
You sit your hand in your coat.
You're used to see him his fingers ignite and he...
24. Please don't roll one or three.
Eight points is it.
He does a boy Mustang.
And that's a snap. He does a little fire gun.
You do a hockey chip.
And...
I'm gonna kick your ass here on my...
Bluolk!
Is he not to play King of the Hell online?
Dale is so overpowered that pocket lamp.
And anyway, pocketed.
And a fire ignites from his hand.
There's this line of being robbed.
It ignites dealing eight points of damage.
Really great for a wizard, let me tell you.
With that, it's turn.
You expect me to know what a goddamn JPEG is?
Um, I have, uh...
I'll take a cross pose shot at
Xiong Campbell over here.
That's going to be a 10, 20 to 10.
20 hits no matter what creature is on the field.
And that's going to be seven points of piercing.
And then I will use my bonus section to sing to Herja.
I got my dwarf right here.
Her name is Herja, dear.
And if you think she can't tell you,
Let me make it clear.
Can do.
Can do.
If you think that she can't get through.
If anybody can name the song or the musical
that that came from, I will be so impressed.
I will eat my own shoe.
I got an inspiration.
Thank you so much.
So you feel very inspired by that beautiful song.
That's amazing.
Did you play somebody?
That was inspiration and I shot you.
Oh shoot, when did you roll for that?
I got you for, fuck.
I was two and pustle iron.
Seven damage.
I get the damage on the boss with a hand crass bow.
Okay, you shoot it.
There's a bolt sticking out of his gun.
The whole time, yeah.
With that, it is,
is that?
Oh, I'll be it.
Is it a D6?
Look, David, drop it.
Thank you.
I'm gonna take the spoon and just jam it
into his big of the belly.
Okay, you jammed that's good.
Tell what?
I'm not going to do.
I got a nine.
You miss horrifically.
Okay, I'm not angry, but I missed.
I'm embarrassed and upset and angry.
And because of that, I'm going to knee him and his big up leg
belly, that's his big, up, like, definitely.
I'm gonna not do that either.
You go, oh, oh, and he's just like,
his big belly is right in your face.
I'm going to turn into my little wreath.
Luffy turned into a sadd
Oh, and it is his turn.
He's going to go,
He's in front.
Better luck next time, dirty.
Bain.
He's disavaged on her.
He is going to swing at Toa and then Herja and then
Lufthiaia.
So, which is a chat to chat.
And he's advantage on...
And Bane.
He's disadvantaged on a liftie.
So we're doing...
So the second attack, the one that hits me and Hesja
would not be...
Okay, the first one hits Toa 100% easy.
Can I impose protection on Toa?
Which is his advantage?
O.P. combo.
Is it so banned?
Yep.
Yeah, he doesn't miss.
Woo!
So he's like, and it's clanged off your shield.
Meanwhile, it swipes through to fucking you, hopefully.
Oh, God.
He's still banned.
It's still banged.
Uh, hold on.
He's disadvantaged from anyone that's not me.
16?
Oh, it's advantage.
Yeah.
Anyone that's not me, he's an advantage of that.
It's 12.
No.
Holy shit.
The difficulty
Ruffles are about to just like skyrocketed.
It's on the other side, okay,
Zisavanz on Luffy.
I keep moving forward.
I'm nervous.
They're nervous.
All of a sudden the boss grows three times.
You have no idea.
You know, my initial rule is negative one.
It doesn't matter.
It misses Luffy.
Okay, and then it's going to swing in a curve up a little.
Then it's going to swing.
She cut that up for rain clouds.
This does have hurt enough, thank goodness.
Oh my God.
It swings in and gets a hook.
We have a smiling for the last hour in this entire fight.
Oh, great.
And you see that as he's taking this much damage,
his kind of wildness and his strength
is increasing every, all the damage you do him.
He's starting to berserk and froth.
So her, the hook finally swims into you.
And he's as mad as I am.
And he's going to do.
It's pretty mad.
Oh god, 15 plus six.
You have resistance to it.
I do?
Yeah.
Why?
19 points of, of, uh, have it.
Because my ancestors are protecting you.
Oh, man.
Is it how many feet within you do it have to be?
It doesn't matter if you do.
19 points of piercing names so have,
so you'll take a total of nine.
Nine points.
Nine points.
Of piercing?
Okay.
As the hook finally hooks in the her version,
is the one fucking nine, you know, it's fine.
He's like, why don't we try?
Why don't we do this?
Why don't we play this game?
Her job.
Dexio to check.
Oh, yeah.
Good call.
You have to end any saves.
You have to.
Bame.
Oh.
Yeah, B.
So I mean 18 minus 19 minus 4.
15.
Failed.
Meeter B.
It means.
Oh.
So that is a pass.
Because it's sex.
Either way, you're only taking one point.
So, you would have.
We'll take them two that have been one and then.
So if you take a toasts him a little bit.
It is like a Panera red sandwich, which is slightly toasting.
Quiznos.
With that it's Quiznows.
It's Quisnows, my favorite place that is it?
Is it more secure off?
I think so.
I'm going to try this swinger flail again.
It still has sacred weapon on it.
It's 22.
22 will hit.
You know, it's a big old over.
All right, it's big old over.
She's going to use her last spell slot for a divine smite.
So that's 2D6 radiant, 2D8 radiant damage.
Channel the power of Moradin and thick thighs.
Yeah.
And just immediately, yeah, and it's, you hear the lot of crack of an anvil as molten fury hit his owner.
So five bludgeoning.
Okay.
And then 10 radiance.
Nice.
And then I'm going to use my bonus action to try to shove him.
20.
I get a 25.
Fuck you.
I got an actual 20.
You can use the Vardik inspiration
and if you roll a six, you could technically-
wait, did you ban that?
Yes.
Not saying that.
And you can use your Vardic's free.
Yes.
22.
Am I allowed to roll bardic?
That's yeah.
If you would choose to, then yes.
All right, so that's 24?
So there you go.
I got you.
What does that do?
I knock you prone.
I have shung you.
You know, was I shield?
R.
He hits the ground and he's getting just dumpstered by everyone and it's fine
All three of us are just kicking
He's been on the fucking dumb
This is the scene from office space where they beat up the printer
Everyone's kicking down
Yeah
Yeah, it feels dumb
With dumb motherfucked death
All right, I'm out of spous love so
That's my turn
That's true.
Nice pro.
So it is the Hawks or he led down,
Ruh, right!
And he said, help me, you fucking hogs!
And three more swoved down,
so that's how my false bites work.
And overturn all the minis.
Yeah, this is the classic Mikey ritual.
Not that one, that one's still alive.
That one's alive.
Oh shit.
So one on Felix.
Move it back.
Hold on, hold on.
Okay, move this one here.
That one's still there.
Put that back on it.
And that's fine.
And that's fine.
So this guy's all.
leave Jammini. One is gonna, that one is, two are flying on top of Felix, because he's a wizard,
and fuck that. And then one is flying to Caprici, then one with Bain on it, and the other one
was flying to, to Iris. This one is flying to her to her. Yep.
Instead of the printer portion of office space, Kelsey made a good point. It's also the
bar scene from Sean of the Dead, where they're all like wailing on the zombie to Queen.
The one on Irish actually hit,
and managed to peck you.
Hot dog for.
Who put this on?
It's all random.
Yep.
Five points of piercing damage for your pecks at you.
I did that, though it was a costume one year.
That's a great costume.
I just have to get a 10, right?
For what?
Yes.
With concentration?
Okay.
Five, okay.
And then the one is that attack Capriese
is it's gonna be with Bain.
And it's going to be a hot zero.
And then so that's gonna miss four of
than Felix, you're getting too fresh tex on.
And what's your AC? 18?
Yep.
It's 13 plus your debts.
So would you have 18?
18 is very high.
Oh, now my presentation would fail.
No, I wouldn't.
That's wrong.
So Bane drops on everybody.
So you see the mummy starts to dissipate.
So I have an 18 and then 16.
So your deck is really high.
My dex is not that high.
I have an 18 and 16 on.
You've did both of those hands.
You're talking to me?
Yes.
18 would hit's either way.
So roll that.
That'll be six points of piercing damage.
So it's my AC 16.
60 to both hit.
So that is six plus four.
So 10 points of piercing damage are both in the box on.
As they scoop down on you.
And then with that, it's higher's turn.
Hold on one better, natural point.
I am going to look at him.
I'm going to pass me again.
Okay.
What I'm going to roll with saving throw?
I hope the 12 and the 1.
You know the number of natural ones that I get?
Yeah, I think.
And then it's, I'm also gonna put on the one by me
and the one behind Caprice.
Do they all seem to roll or no?
They all need to roll or no.
So that fails horribly, the one by you.
So number four fails.
And the one by Caprice, that gets a 12.
Does that succeed?
Failed.
So they all fail.
So one, four, and one all fail?
I want to have the camera a little closer.
So before we're right, you're right.
No, I just have not picked it.
So they're all being.
So you see once again the mummy bindings wrap up.
And that is that.
Anything else?
No, that's different.
Okay. So Jamie's gonna roll off and says,
Hey, Skinny, it looks like you can,
other skinny, it looks like you can use your fucking hand.
And she is going to whip on number.
She is stay right there?
Number three.
20 feet.
That's, well, she might have to like go there.
Maybe you'll wear up.
Yeah, she just will pat.
Okay.
And she's going to do that.
and just get effortlessly head,
effortlessly just turns it into a mist of blood.
Okay, it just explodes. Toa era.
With that.
I would like to attack a nine.
A nine on, you are horrible, you were my dice?
I need a whole new, when my toe of dice get in,
hopefully they roll a little bit more than this.
Do you want the other set of my dice?
Anyway, you miss horribly.
Is it really? February.
You miss Horrible.
It's February delivery.
Here, take my C dice.
Thank you.
I've never seen mine.
I've never seen a war.
So you fail horribly.
You miss, once again, it's a spray of dirt as toe amiss.
Okay.
If you listen, sir, you know.
I'm ignoring the, my eyes getting pecked out,
and I'm going to fire in the fire roll at the,
the, yeah, it must be dying.
Oh.
Wait, no, he's not, no, he's up, no he's up.
Oh, he is pro.
Oh, would I have advantage of my attack?
T-Hee.
T-H-EX-D.
Okay, your die rule of the 15, so 22.
It hits, yeah.
It hits.
Hey, thank you for a mind.
So you were just in a minute, though.
Felix, I apologize.
That's what I'm talking about.
I apologize.
15 damage, and he's marked with the crazy ghost of your ancestors.
He pukes up blood as it just obliterates him.
Let's see here.
He's marked as well.
I might just re-charted my touch.
We can name this song in the second here.
Can you feel the love tonight when the Lion King II soundtrack.
I love that.
John.
Sorry Scarlett Johansson.
Like two star Andy Dick.
Starring Andy Dick.
It's the song.
You feel tholog to know.
If you didn't have inspiration, I'll give it to you.
You already haven't, so it's fun.
I have inspiration?
Yes.
No, he didn't get it last time.
Oh, so you enjoy inspiration now.
You're the only one that didn't get it for, you know.
Wow, savage.
Holy shit.
That's good.
Inspiration.
Yay!
You had his entire time would be given, so that's fine.
Yeah.
...inspired as unfortunately, the firebolt kind of flies off the clep.
With that, it is Caprice's turn.
Is your...
Precious turn.
Holy shit.
Can I have a good bottle opener that won't spill beer everywhere?
I have a good bottle.
Oh, I have a good word is God tear.
What did you have a step?
I have an extra one.
Oh, I would love it if you would pass me that extra one.
I've brought it up for you and I've got to give you.
Oh, well, thanks.
That's really kind of you.
Fuck in.
It's a lot, but it's really kind.
No, no.
Tollog is prone right now, right?
Yes.
And Bain.
Alright, seeing.
No, because you lost concentration.
I passed on my last year.
Oh, fuck.
Hold on.
Let me put back.
Yeah.
So that guy, the one by me and the one by Caprice
were all Baines again.
Oh, okay, cool.
Thank you.
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
on the other guy.
I have to look on the other guy.
Now the flaming sphere.
He's on?
When anyone enters?
enters his fear when they end their turn five feet from it.
So in any adjacent square.
But it's not like if I were to push a creature into that fear,
it would happen immediately.
We kind of had this conversation.
The spell says that I can move it during my turn as a bonus action.
And if I ran it into things, then they have to do the deck save and take the damage.
So like, I don't know, right?
I don't think the reverse logic applies.
I kind of thought every turn I could be like,
meh, meh, and like, deal damage.
I don't think I can.
So I haven't been moving it.
No, I don't know if you can.
I don't go to turn, I can move it back.
You can move it.
You can move it.
Because then it's gonna happen.
But the damage doesn't take the end of the act.
If you want to put the fireball you can.
By, well.
Like when you do, I apologize.
If I want it into.
Always, I think you can do that.
But I don't know if I can like be like on my turn like,
eh, eh, eh, eh, and,
like ramming it into him, you know, every turn.
I don't.
You can.
I've used this before, but I mean,
I don't know how the rules are players.
All right.
I'm just going to go here.
I'm gonna take an attack of opportunity.
I get it.
I'm gonna move it, I'm gonna move it
from the range.
You're all doing?
And natural 20,
how does that make sense vein work?
We just had that gun for us.
We have no idea.
What's that?
What's that?
No, from a hawk.
Yeah, I know.
A natural 20, if it's reducing the number,
doesn't matter.
It's an automatic hit, no matter one.
So unless it's...
Yeah.
Okay.
So Pickle Rick.
Uh,
I'm going away from the bird.
He pends that in the room.
He's so excited to find him.
He's on the actual point.
He's like, natural point.
Nine points of you.
Nine points.
That's decent.
I take it.
Ah, fuck my back.
And then I'll thunder wave at second level in this direction,
trying to push him into the flaming sphere,
which I know isn't mechanically a thing,
but it just feels good.
flavor flavor. It does feel good flavor. Enjoy and enjoy an attempt. That's going to be
a substitute saving throw. I would love that. 22. You need the Viking
helmet. Okay, he succeeds, so he takes half of three eight.
He was like a clock and a block of throw.
He takes nine points of Thunder damage, but it's not knocked back, but he's prone, so he's
half of that?
He didn't.
No, no, that's the thing.
He was 18, I provided myself.
So.
I used to watch that show religiously.
You know, about that.
I have a bonus action, and, uh,
nope, I'm comfortable.
Okay.
I feel like we're doing okay.
See, that's how I feel too up.
What Leifie just said is the way that I feel about it.
It's something to determine the DM.
I know technically, mechanically I can do that, but one, it feels like cheating.
And two, it's stupid.
You're spending your bonus action to do it, though.
Right.
It's my God.
It's every turn.
You know what I mean?
Like, there's no other bonus action.
It's a way for wizards.
I think it would be fine if it was like from one target to another target, right?
Like moving it in one direction.
I think it'd be dumb for me to sit there and bounce the ball into him over and over.
I don't think that that's dramatically what happened.
Is it adjacent to the creature, what you would actually be doing is just pushing into it.
Yeah.
To ignite it.
It's encouraging it to actually.
So are you spooning lifting?
It's encouraging it to move away.
from your spear.
Okay, so with him prone, I'm going to wiggle my little
in knee and like tee up and then just whack
in his head like his golf ball.
You see he looked at the ass shake and just how.
You are a friend with me, I do.
19 to 10 minutes.
Hachia!
Hachia!
That's good.
That is damage.
Okay.
And please with that, I'm going to jump up onto his belly
as my bonus attack and just kind of like
bounce like it's a trampoline and I'm gonna use
Like it was a Gumba. Okay, got it.
Yeah. Okay, Prince Peach.
Yeah, perfect. Perfect.
And so that'll be the bonus attack,
and then I'm gonna use a key point for Flurry of Flos.
Okay, so do two bounces.
You do, it's a cupa where you bounce on the cup,
and then bounce on the shell.
What?
Okay, so that is probably a no.
So that's a nine, eight, 18.
So no, for me, don't.
Missed, that hits, it for two minutes.
And eight.
You have advantage on these, too, by the way.
Because he's prone.
I'm sure.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Better roll for those nights.
Yeah, roll all the crazy.
Okay, hold on.
His AC's 15, so just...
Okay.
So just roll a seat, right?
Okay, right?
Yeah.
You don't have to...
We're just rolling for the nats.
Just roll it to see if there's a naps.
That's it.
Okay.
So you get all three.
Okay.
You spoon him, you do the double balance on his belly.
You roll damage for the spoon.
That is five, so that would be...
28 points.
Holy shit, okay.
That's awesome.
Holy crap.
Really awesome.
Awesome.
Boing, going,
Pha.
And I'll do it on my last bounce,
I'll do a flourish off of him.
Okay, so you crack him in the heads
with condoms warning and you just go,
you jump to him and go, boing, boing,
and you can see like a little
d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-pere up here above her head.
And then she leaps off and does a little flurry.
And he's looking, you know, he's a little,
with that it is his turn.
As he just, he just, he's, he's himself up.
And he's, he's,
He's very angry, this is blood in his eye,
that he's just swinging, swinging.
So he's going to do Caprice, Toa, and he is bamed for this.
Caprice gets hit whenever he's...
Caprice misses.
Yep, whenever he's left.
Toa?
Do you want my days?
No, it's fine.
Okay.
It's fine.
Okay, we're swinging back around.
We're doing left eight.
21 to hit.
So swings in hits.
hits Lutte.
Going to pearls with the action,
disadvantage with my reaction.
Why not?
Yeah, as you do.
Why not?
Okay, no.
The hook that flies.
It is gonna be about to hit Lutti
and it clangs on the shield
and it flies on.
And then it's going to fly in.
I don't know how to say.
Vinta.
Vita.
16 to hit her.
It's a little bit of sweet.
Misses.
So it clangs on your shield.
Oh no.
And she's just like,
What?
That's his turn.
Wait, is that the big guy's turn?
Hold that check.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Oh, yeah.
Also with Bain.
It's zero.
Yeah, I guess three.
What happened here?
Was it supposed to be more Hill today?
Okay.
Three.
Three is that?
No, four?
Yeah, just three.
One and two.
You know, it's her.
What else can I say, ladies and what else can I say?
25 the hits.
That will hit, yeah, for sure, for sure.
Don't have any more small slots.
So he takes six bludgeoning damage.
Okay, he rolled.
Then I would like to attempt to shove him again.
Okay.
He's baines, yeah.
He's bane, okay, got it, got it.
I'm sorry, Mike.
I got an eight.
He just, he still loses.
I'm literally rolled like one to three.
I rolled like one to three.
What did you get?
I rolled the natural two.
Bain was a four.
This is the most useful case of Bain I've ever seen.
Are you like a firm of stunning him?
Like you just knock him on his ass.
I rolled a four is the thing.
Like I'm fucking.
So he falls on his fucking ass.
And he's on his ass.
Okay.
It's fucking awesome.
It is Hawks turn.
Both swarmed Iris that run around there.
Dusty wants to
wants to know if the bad guy's wearing roller skis.
For Halloween.
That's what's happening.
And so one is going to attack Felix.
Excuse me.
Yeah, now he misses.
Two are going, oh, they're being, okay.
Bain, attack you need.
Now it's gonna miss.
God bless, God bless.
Gotta give it up for him.
Gotta give it up for me.
Okay, they just mess horribly.
With that, it is Irish's turn.
Okay.
I am going to...
He's surrounded by delicious bird made and it's like, no one.
Yeah, that's fine.
Um, I am going, bing! Stop it, Phil.
Uh, Toll the dead, the big guy.
Enjoy, yeah, you... I roll it with saving throw.
And I, wait, am I beans?
Yeah.
Okay.
He means to do something,
Oh, I'm on the ground and wrapped up by mummy shit.
I can't cover my ears.
That's not like how to occur with the frog.
Kermit the frog. He manages...
It's not easy, being ogre.
He does that, and now is Jaminy's turn.
And she's going to walk over, and I'm going to whip
the hawk, the hawk on Iris.
Is it 20 feet?
She moves.
She moves one square over, and she will cows it.
And she effortless me and a little mini.
This one right here?
Yeah. And it explodes in two, in feathers and blood
as Jamini is just sniping these eagles,
these hawks.
Cho, you're on.
I would like to, I'll attack.
Is he on his ass?
He's on his ass.
He's flat on the fucking ass.
26.
Okay, yeah, no, that'll hit, Rich.
Let me tow.
Go on, big money, big money.
That'll hit to her.
Oh, fuck, I didn't.
I'm telling me the ultimate universe.
I think we're on the phrase of late.
That is.
15 damage.
That's a very good.
15 damage.
The flavor away?
The flavor weight.
The flavor weight.
in Flavor Town or in the Flavibb Wai, Flavowave.
I mean, I love Flaventown.
You too.
You run up and smash your mall into its size.
You got of crap in his ribs and he heaves over.
He'll be pretty about.
Felix Troutes.
What?
Okay, so I'm just about 10.
I'm going to leave the flame sphere
for the way that it is for this fight we can discuss.
Just talking about it.
But for now I'm leaving the way it is.
I'm just gonna fire off another bolt at the, he's pro.
He is pro.
That's right, buddy.
Roll another one.
What are you looking for?
Cremies on it.
Who changed?
So I got the 18, 18, that one.
That still hits.
He still hits.
He still hits.
Large four and you Pugh Pue.
Damn.
Miss.
Eight points.
Eight points.
Hey, it's pretty good.
And I'm back.
I don't use that power because I like you.
Intent.
The fireball Pugh hits him.
I'm supposed to put him.
I'm sorry.
Throw me a bone, man.
The fire flies in the air, hits its side,
singeing the body priestrolet.
And I'm just going to eat alive by a hawk.
Yes, you know she's coaching in the heart.
Turned my bully mugs back in the frog.
What are you doing?
Fantastic.
Come on up to choose.
Come on up to do something ridiculous.
How many beans you got left?
Jesus.
How many beans?
I've got a considerable number of beans.
There's always beans with Derek.
There's always beans in the banana hut.
He's prone, right?
He's prone, like a real bitch.
I'll lean down as close to his ear and as I can.
It's free-wisted.
I'll whisper it again.
What did he say?
It's free real estate.
No.
It's free real estate.
And then it'll be dissonant whispers.
And he has to make a wisdom saving throw based on how well he's been doing.
I feel comfortable bathing that shit.
14.
14?
And that's with Bain?
Oh, no.
Doesn't matter.
14 failed anyway.
He takes, he has to immediately use his reaction to move as far as its speed allows away from me.
I was prone crawling.
I would assume half-happily.
He's like, he just rolls.
He just, he just rolls with a fucking took teeth.
He's on his back and he just puts his hands back like in the exorcist.
What's the wrong?
He's not.
He takes 15 psychic damage.
He's terrifying.
His brain is for him.
He's weird.
He's weird.
The thing is he doesn't even understand
what you're saying.
And he's just horrified.
He doesn't get,
Kai's brain.
He rolls 15 feet away.
He's crawling past the scorching ball.
He's only rolling.
He has to go.
He's just rolling.
Oh, sorry.
Which way?
He has to go in diagonal.
I think he's going to be on the same space.
How is that one?
How does that one?
Why does that work with you?
You can put it on it and I'll move the screen.
Two.
There.
So do we all get it?
Yeah, right.
Not the next one?
One more.
And then this guy's still there.
Yeah, I can.
I'll move it on my turn.
Yeah.
He's technically adjacent to the fungal sphere.
We all have to move a little bit to get to him.
I just wanted to get the psychic.
We don't get up.
Because he's moving against.
Oh, I agree.
Right, right, right.
I'll use my bonus action to be like,
um, Bluppy, you've gotten the last three,
big guys take down this big boy.
Give her inspiration.
Yeah.
I do like a big boy.
Okay, lift you up.
All right.
Are you moving around the sphere?
Oh, really.
It takes her team worse like a damage after a wifted back.
Okay.
Boying out of the fire.
I'm gonna boy and then smack him.
Is he still?
He's still broke.
He's still broke.
He's still broke.
Yeah, I'm gonna give them a little spanky, spanky.
You give you a spanky, go ahead and then roll that.
You got to put holes in the paddle so you can't wait resistance and swing it faster.
Lucy's the new hazing team captain on her sorority team.
Yeah.
I mean, to be honest, you guys would totally be a part of sorority.
Oh, yeah.
Oh my God.
Yeah, yeah.
Black me with a spit.
And then I'm going to.
I'm going to just like kind of kick him.
So you smack your spoon on his stomach,
or he's spank on his butt,
and now you're just spanking and then kick him on his butt.
There's a lot of fuck humor.
You want to don't stomp.
Don stomp.
So, Dom stomp T.M.
Yeah.
You hear a hawk and say, God, I wish that were me.
He will never step on your
hook or heel before.
If you're supposed to have a lot of damage.
The hot nose gun, I wish that were me,
and you just don't, you step on, who knows what.
Hashtag down stuff, hashtag dump your photo.
Someone turns into a jeweled.
And it's just horrible.
He's looking very rough.
Yeah, but your turn is over.
I can admit it.
Man.
Man.
Oh, boy.
His turn.
His turn.
He's going to stand back up finally.
80%.
Yeah.
You know what, African Damsong, he's gonna,
Wakawa, Wakawa, I'm just hit you.
Bain, of course.
Bain.
Bain.
Feel bad, that I have to keep reminding Mikey,
but I didn't need him to do it for me.
18.
First hit, first hit.
Now hits.
I'm gonna die.
Bye, fine.
I'm not next to you.
So the second one misses,
terrifically.
So he made, keep being very low.
There's a blood loss.
He gets you even more fury than you could even expect.
It's great.
With his hook.
Yay.
Very cool.
He's evcerated before our I think.
Very cool.
Very cool.
Very cool.
Me personally, I love eviscerating mumps in my campaign.
The dog-stopping mumps in my campaign.
Me personally, I love having my junk stomped off by here.
Somebody clip that.
Yeah, cut that.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm getting it.
Personally.
Personally, I get it.
Personally.
Me personally. Very cool.
No, it's got my- Very cool.
21 points of slapsing damage.
The hook slams into you.
That's a lot of nuts.
Flams.
It's flams.
It's going to run up to
old chicken friccationary.
The other side of it.
Can I get there?
That's one and a half, two, three, four.
I wanted to get the other side of Lufthi
so I could be mister.
Is that okay?
Is that not enough speed?
I can move through allies.
Yeah, I'm in there.
You still hit him.
I still hit him.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, you're good.
All right, I'm gonna hashtag Dakota.
I'm trying to hit him with a flail.
Go to John.
Oh, no, I've got him in a 12.
Wait, no, I still have secret weapon,
adds plus two, 16.
It hits.
Yes!
Pick over to catch you,
eat his body off the club.
Yeah, eat his body off the club.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Oh!
What?
Seven blood.
This was it.
He's appealing to the child of the
I'm trying to draw on you,
total of 16-year-olds to watch our channel.
All the zoomers watching.
All you zoomers, you're welcome, but...
Not really.
That's gonna be lucky guys.
We love all...
No wrong fun.
Zoomers and boomers alike.
You do that.
You slam, Dakota.
Zoom, Boomer's and Amy Schumer.
You feel like your own.
You said.
Personally,
It's a living.
You do that.
You go to slam.
You feel like you're gonna miss,
and Morridans, Moridins got a hand guides you.
Yes.
The flams in you.
And that's play.
Is that damage?
What was that?
Seven damage.
Yeah, it slams and it's just looking very weak.
Okay.
We're doing this, we're doing this shit again.
Would not be prone?
Attack twice?
Oh, that's right.
Oh, and I'm also banged.
Yeah, this hot,
Why not?
Seven.
Hold on.
Oh no, no.
I succeed!
Oh my God, okay.
All right.
Despite all efforts to knock them down,
and my, spite my shitty rolls and beans.
I get down.
I succeed.
But I get up again.
You ain't never gonna drink me.
Right.
Keep me down.
Something just got clipped.
What?
The clip is called, you what?
No.
No.
Open cooperative.
It's on the internet.
or later, his name of the clip.
Google knows forever.
See, I wonder my skeleton and say in the closet,
and here we are.
We gotta watch the clip later.
That said, gotta give it up.
Gotta give it up.
With that, he's like,
and two more hawks fly down.
Just flip over the ones that are next to,
yeah, flip over those guys.
And they're alive again.
They're not alive, they're new ones, but you know.
Exactly.
It's happening.
Yeah, no, why not?
Why not?
Jesus.
So one will be bane against Iris.
A natural one doesn't even matter.
Okay.
Let's see a negative negative three.
Oh, three.
The other one is an 11, so you just blocked everything
with your buckler.
Okay, we got Felix.
One is going to hit, the other one is not.
So this isn't a dancing nut sack, unfortunately.
No, fortunately.
It's not.
It's close enough.
There will be four points of piercing damage
into you, Felix.
Four points.
As a hawk
it beaks you to death.
Following that will be Iris's turn.
Name that too.
Ocean's 11.
I'm going to turn.
I love whoever that actually's his name is.
Sandra Bullock.
Sandra Bullock.
I love Sandra Bullock.
Sandra Bullock is Primo.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I know.
Can you pass me?
Unfortunate.
I have short arms.
Thanks, Telf.
This is what I get away.
Oh, words.
Yeah, I am going to use healing word at a second level.
You got this.
On Luffy.
And I'm going to say, oh, dear God, Lufty.
Can you do anything right?
I'm going to heal her.
I didn't have them to do it.
Oh, for.
Very nice.
For nine points.
Nine points for me.
You are going to say that word.
You feel the power of Numa's human,
or wounds, Luffy.
For nine points, exactly worth.
With that, Jammey's in the walk-on,
they,
D-Zee, fucking hawk has never fucking foote!
Okay.
She's now disadvantaged.
She chows it and, hold on.
With chow.
Great tunes.
And it explodes into blood.
You're all well for us.
Fights. Yeah.
Jamminy rolls incredible well.
I don't roll below at a 13 for her.
It's crazy.
I've literally never got below 13.
The black tire.
The one-to-wise.
She just exploding it in the blood.
With that, and his tovish turn.
Oh my.
Is he still on the ground?
No, he's standing.
He's not in anyone for the past 30 minutes.
He took his roller skates off this time.
Given he's very dangerous.
How are you looking over Felix?
Are you like beat up?
That's not good.
A little red.
I can't really do much to help you.
Good thing you inside my cloak is red.
I'll look over seeing Felix's like beat out
with these two huge words.
My ears like hanging like by a friend.
My eyes all was like,
as one is kind of casting a half glance at look,
he still's thinking, oh God, I wish that ruined.
Suddenly Andy starts flickering in a black and white hair
costume.
I wrote a natural 20 on the Indian.
Oh, God, you know.
Me personally, I love natural 20s because it means you succeeded anything, no matter what it is.
So many twos!
So many 20s!
It started at the beginning of the universe!
19.
So the force that you hit this hawk with is so strong.
It has no, no one has any comprehension.
One through the hawk.
And then the next moment, there's nothing.
You literally deleted it from existence.
I've tweeted it from existence.
There's no black actual.
It was like, dude, with white, like, eight-bit lines.
No, yeah.
It's a little dog comes around.
And you see how like a little, a little,
you know, the feet forward or like, drop tables.
No, literally this.
And then the dog comes and like,
is him, the bird in the neck.
Yeah.
It is literally, you literally duck hunted that shit
into non-existence.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I am, oh damn it.
All you people are my weight.
I'm gonna use my bonus action to move the sphere
and make contact with the old big dude.
So, dex check on your phone.
Right now?
Yes.
And you're being.
That's fine.
That'll be negative one.
Nine of the points of damage from the flame sphere.
How do you do this?
He's fucking done!
It's better!
is hanging off by a thread,
and my eyes bleeding,
I'm batting the hawk away,
and I just moved the sphere mentally
with my hand,
and I'm like, fuck!
And he's just, like, fire tornadoes
him up, and then he just, like, dies.
So, you do that.
There are hawks, like, your eyeballs,
the ones, like, still looking,
like, look, really, who looks,
they're still pecking the shit out of you,
and you're like, fagg,
and the sphere spin, he spins, the spin, spins.
goes around him and he kind of spins his horrific fire cyclone.
And his body is singeing a lot and singeing.
And he's just, his fat is melting.
The smell is horrific.
As he's just getting burned to a crisp.
It's like, and he gets turned completely,
like gray and black husk and then falls to the ground dead.
And then I'm going to attempt to,
I'm going to attempt to firebolt the bird
and that is engaged with Iris.
You can do that.
Yeah.
He's learning.
This is your metal bidness?
It is.
23.
That will hit.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Nine.
Nice.
You hit it for the first time.
He doesn't die.
He doesn't die.
He doesn't die for this one.
No, I went for the one that was in deep.
He is almost dead, but he's not dead.
Oh, shit.
Damn.
Wow.
So close.
Yeah.
So funny.
So funny.
So funny.
So I'm bleeding out.
Very close is it.
The fire hits it.
It's mostly dead, but it's not quite.
With that, it is...
Yeah, go for it.
I'm too hydrated.
Oh, well done, Felix.
I'm gonna look around and I'm gonna see if I can see
if there's any additional dangers,
I'm gonna look into the cages that Lutti was examining earlier.
I'm gonna try to get a sense of the space around us as much as possible
before taking my action.
Make a reception check.
I will say very light.
very light one. That's a good emoji comma.
Yeah, it's 15. You look around, you don't sense much danger.
I don't sense much danger. Okay, I'm going to use my bonus action to load the crossbow,
and I'm going to use my action to fire it into the one that's next to Felix.
Okay. You flink it?
20 to hit. That will hit, that'll hit, the ball.
Yep. And it'll be a 7.6.
of Pearson damage.
So, one's damage.
Finally, once again, you plink it and it does not die, a bolt is in it, and it's still flying
so that they're both so alive.
Jesus, fucking, so.
Look to you're up.
Oh, shit.
Um.
Name the song.
One behind.
You can probably get to the one behind Felix with all these movements.
Uh, five, ten, 50, yeah, it would be 20 women.
You can just get to that.
Oh, it's the Macarena.
I probably.
Shit, God, I knew I knew it.
Oh, big.
Maybe hurricane with the Mage Deanie in chat.
I love that.
I'll go to that hawk and just take my spoon
and try to whack it out of the air.
OK.
You cut it that.
Seven.
That'll hit very easily.
Effortlessly almost, as they would say.
That's six damage.
Six damage.
It poops out of the air.
You explode it with your spoon.
And the blood.
OK.
How many did I move together?
Four.
Four.
OK.
So I'll use the rest of my movement
to go to the other one.
and just kind of punch it.
Okay, you're gonna run up and just do a little.
I'm gonna say it on this square.
That's a fail, a super fail.
Okay, you fail horrifically.
It just, it's weak, and it's very horribly wounded,
and it's flying, actually very low and very easy to hit.
But you still manage to fuck it up.
Yeah.
By kind of stuff, you know, yeah, I did.
Your arm cut and just cut, you cramped out.
Oh, God, ow!
And you miss it.
Plinton is no one.
Monsters wanted.
Um.
Oh, I figure they got that last chicken taken care of.
Looking around at all the cages, do I look like there's movement in one nears me?
Maybe you're subject.
Really great. I thought it was 11.
11. They're seeing very slight moving.
Like one next to me?
A couple around, yeah.
Okay. Can I use my turn action, bonus action to try to unlock it or try to get the-
Is there a statement?
You also can attempt to unlock it.
Yeah.
And you test it.
Why do you say you try to bash the lock, over?
Make an athletic chef for me.
How about that?
Eight.
Eight.
It is, you tried it, and it's locked.
You kind of reach in the decode.
It hits against it.
It's a pretty tough lock.
It does not hit.
It's not break.
But you give the sense that the ogre,
the dead ogre, probably has a key,
because that's this DM.
Monsters 2.
There's no ogre to call them down.
There's still two alive.
So one is going to attack Felix, hopefully killing him.
Oh, I thought the one, I thought the one,
oh no, the one is dead.
Yeah, there's one here for you.
No, no, he's to kill him.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, it's the bathroom.
Okay, so he's dead.
So one is going to attempt to attack Bluffey.
No.
Oh, God.
And he dismissed Powerblade, so that's it.
It's your turn.
I'm all right.
I'm going to, I'm going to toll the dead man.
Do that.
Do that.
My wisdom's sick.
Yes.
I'm sure I'm all fail this, so.
With Banya.
Oh, with Vanya?
Banya?
Albaño.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's about them.
I know.
It's 12.
Setteman.
You see him, like, flying around.
He crouched in the ground.
Dyes horribly.
And with that, quiet returns to Butchard Bluff.
After certainly stupid bullshit,
that really was the mall.
Gotta give it up with the team.
Got to give it.
I think I guess is bosses that are not remotely threatening.
It's like, oh God, I don't have my fingers now.
Oh, no.
When I'm going to have your finger.
Bird, eat it.

Are we going to stay here for 10 minutes or no?
No, I don't think we are.
Okay, well then we'll let him die.
I'm not going to die just yet.
I have a potion.
and we need to check the prisoners
and just give them a once over
and see if they are affected by the police plate.
Yeah, we got to check all the prisoners,
but there's no gate or anything.
There is going to be a hill giant,
a very confused hill giant coming up right behind.
Come look at the body of this guy because that's stupid a lot of it.
While they're doing this,
to hurt me.
Can you search the body?
And then I immediately run over
and I want to use my thing while they're doing this.
Just to look to see if anything's changed,
see what the situation is going to do.
Thank you.
I felt into the one, so.
My spyglass or whatever.
Couldn't have been worse.
But the last like, pass me the bottle opener, please.
Could you please make a prescription check, Taw?
I want to help Caprice search the body.
Okay.
Massigation check in advance.
15.
15.
I'm sorry, 15.
What do you find?
Hold on.
I know what you find.
I'm not gonna hold on.
Too late.
Do it now.
We're halfway there.
You find.
You find something.
You find
379 gold pieces.
Holy shit.
These strange looking
goggle type things.
And a satchel that looks
quite bizarre
as if it may be able to hold things
and might be bag-like.
I don't have shit for you.
If you're D&Bion, you can just type in the bag
holding, but you don't. I don't use D&D. Beyond.
I'm at bed.
Bath level.
The point being, the point being, if you find a few things.
And you find a key.
Oh, yeah.
You find a key, a key.
Does it made of Boreum or di meridium?
No, those don't exist in the banteries.
You know, like, your high fantasy is up here, mine's like about here.
So if my anachronism is up here and yours is here, and your high fantasy, you know, we'd be balanced as far as anachronism and the high fantasy.
Material versus advantage.
I love a term paper from many of your viewers.
Just kidding.
I'm doing on Monday.
This key doesn't go to any of these cages,
otherwise they would have used to open it, you know?
Look around for key holes real quick,
and we'll check the additional cages as we go.
I want to walk up to Toa as he's doing his perceptiveness thing.
It would be like, what do you see, buddy?
I rolled the 17.
17, okay.
So Toa, you look through this large, like,
telescope almost.
using all of your strength in order to kind of heat it up and look over.
And as you look down in the center, this stone circle,
you still see that same familiar over figure and hill giant figure.
However, there's now a third figure.
Standing.
It is a creature.
Almost bigger than the ogre, smaller than the giant.
Large, hairy, horned, bull-like, human-like.
Yeah, yep, yep.
And holding,
holding a large crown intricately woven.
It steps forward.
Five takes it, places it on its head, its pass.
All of a sudden, you start to see the shifting of the flesh.
And all of a sudden the flesh starts shifting,
hair sprouts over its entire body.
Its muscles bulk up, horns sprout out of its forehead,
large black horse.
Its eyes
blaze
with this
bloodthirsty red glove.
Does it look just like
the one that put it on his head now?
The ogre who did that
did that looks.
Former Beachville than it did several moments prior.
But does it look just like another bullman?
Or is he still like a little bit of a hood?
No, he's still on his...
But he's... Covered in hair and hair.
And points.
Okay.
Because of it...
They took...
The transformation literally just happened.
What?
And then you are watching this.
I'm still watching.
The second the bull creature pulls it from the ogre,
the hill giant.
Its gut hits the ground as it leans forward.
He's doing to the giant now.
Put it on the head.
Same exact thing.
The skin shifts, the muscles up bolt.
Hair sprouts over its entire body.
This is disgusting.
Horns sprout from his head.
And both of them have just jagged,
You see their teeth start to change as their teeth shift from the standard kind of just gross maw into these razor-sharp teeth.
And all of a sudden, both of these creatures kind of are bolted up.
They are decently larger than they were before.
Guys, how are they doing this?
There's this crown, it's this big iron crown.
And I think one of the bull guys mentioned the crown at some point.
He just put it on their heads.
He did it to a giant animal in there both.
It was seemingly way more powerful now.
They just changed.
They just shit.
Yeah, they got bigger.
They got horns.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Did they change like Amon changed?
Amos, son?
No, no, no, no.
It was very instantaneous.
They put the crown on and they just like balked out.
Right in front of us.
But the bulking, I mean, whatever happened to Amos might have been like a slow-mo version of...
It could be.
Like, do you...
I'm bulking at the side of it or like bulking up.
Like balkinized.
Vulcanized?
I think that's completely different game.
I mean, like,
Getting bigger, getting more muscles.
Well, what's happening now? Are they going?
I keep looking. What's happening?
You keep looking. Why don't you talk for a few more seconds?
It's something else.
So are we too late?
I mean...
Well, it's good that we don't have the sacrifices anymore.
So they're transforming, but at least...
I'm continuing as I'm listening to his descriptions.
I'm continuing to go from cell to sell to sell
to see if anybody's alive and if I can find any more items.
I want to yell at to priests and ask him if he...
Do any of them show signs of beastplay?
Do they all appear to be normal humans or humanoids?
Investigation, check.
You see...
Oh, time.
You get the sense that this is the...
As they then go, they leave this beast man,
and the bull creature walks forward,
and all of a sudden, you finally realize behind it,
a sea of creatures.
the other side, past the mountains, horned, hairy,
monstrous vicious nation,
a legion making its way.
Meanwhile, the owing, but they're still going to be in the
giant beyond the mountain.
Meanwhile, each of the hill giant chief and the ogre warlord
leave the circle.
They then begin to press a hand on each of their subjects.
their subjects, you see the same transformation happening.
Oh, dear, Lord.
And all of them sort of shift and change and morph
as the ogre upon, ogre upon giant,
upon giant, hairy, horn beasts,
as they then start to, as soon as they get their blessing,
their transformation, they then start walking
and following in the same direction
as this herald of the horn king.
And they start to march and follow, and follow down into the forest, passing through the mountain pass.
So they're still going into the mountain pass?
What cardinal direction are they headed?
They're heading south, they're heading east.
They're heading east.
Oh, so the beast fed are going back east.
They're going back east.
So I will draw.
You can just jump right down on here, right?
Yeah, here.
Or if there's a stair, let me get this back on here.
So you know, Morrow.
Let's say this right here is the mountain pass, this X.
Uh-huh.
Butcher's bluff is like right here, right?
A little hook.
These, that's really great.
Beastmen are all coming from around here.
True.
Obers and giants walking up here,
getting their transformation business,
and then joining them.
Going forward into the forest east.
So there were hundreds or thousands?
It's very difficult to tell, but it could be approaching.
Many. Many, many, many, many.
It seems like you see a sea of hairy creatures that seem to be,
it's difficult to make out even a single figure in this mass of creatures
that seem to be in the thousands.
Overs and giants, obviously few aren't far between.
This is hundreds, but they seem to be joining their ranks,
walking side by side.
Hornbeasts, goat-like, bull-like.
And Toa, make a process of check for them.
That was great music for that.
I apologize.
That was really good.
I accidentally hit the next button.
10.
10.
You manage to see creatures that are horse-like,
beast-like, all of them heard.
Of every kind of a hooved beast.
In this army.
Goats, bowls.
Primarily goat, goats, bowls, and horses.
I have an investigation on 10 on the other two cells
on my side.
Okay.
You roll the...
What do you roll?
Ten.
Ten.
You look around, you start unlocking cages.
And the key looks for all of them.
Oh, okay.
As all of these unlock, you unlock and you see kind of huddled figures of these human rights.
And ultimately, you come around to the far side of increase, and you find a girl, a woman.
Despite her small size, she seems to be probably in her early 40s, late 30s.
Completely platinum block.
In hunting, it ruined hunting leathers.
And locked the page and I extend my hand up.
Hi, my name is Compreas. Are you all right? What's your name?
She looks at you. It's kind of these like, which warm, weary eyes.
and she says, I'm Nora.
I know your brother, I know your brother Nestor,
come on, let's go, we have to get out of here.
How many, how many are there, like prisoners?
There are probably at least, at least it doesn't.
I want to get down and I want to medicine check her
to see if I notice anything similar to what happened with Enos.
Do that.
Do you see Enis?
She's saying it the whole time.
Yeah, like very, very purposefully.
It's not a mistake.
Poor guy.
I will never name a character.
And never name a character Amos in your campaign.
Or purpose.
I would never do that.
Or Parvon.
Horvon was a horrible medical role.
I love you, Matt Mercer, but sometimes your NPC name.
I love you.
That's great.
And that is 25.
You look down, and these, these,
individuals as the priest and her job kind of pulling them out and bringing them to you to kind of get checked on.
I'm looking specifically at...
Oh, and Nora.
So Nora particularly seems to be malnourished, torture, terror.
But does not seem to have the same kind of marks of the beast plague or any kind of affliction or curse like that that you notice that ain't.
Okay, I was going to ask you, can you detect magic?
So while she's doing the check-in, I want to just take ten minutes to pass.
Magic, kind of like I did on all of us and like as she's processing them, I'll detect magic on each of them, you know, to see if there's anything.
They're basically it's like they're going through airport security. Yeah, yeah, we're giving them the old. You are waving like magic.
You're so all of the three of you are basically bringing them to Felix then. They're processing them. No magic, no magic, no magic.
And Nora kind of grabs onto your arm, Iris, and says,
Domin, what is the book?
Make a perception trap alone.
24.
That's enough.
You see that she's in rounds, tattered.
You notice that she is very,
she's not very heavily clad in clothing.
You notice that there seems to be
some sort of black tattoo etched on her back.
You notice a design.
familiar somewhat familiar to you but all three spiral lines etched almost in the design of chains
but how nice to help please tell me when you got to come off and she kind of is panting and it looks
like she's almost like difficult having a difficulty processing what you're saying by how the severe
torture and you're trying to pull out man woman man woman into this group as as you're kind of
to get 12 individuals that are so alive.
There are several that have not been in it,
that are clearly dead in their cages.
Twelve living in prison.
How much time is passing through just like the butcher?
I would say 20 minutes.
Is there black tattoos on all the other people's backs or just on hers?
Well, Herscher wouldn't know, have noticed that tattoo.
Oh.
I look at, I feel like some of them.
like how do are they danger are they okay from a from a magical standpoint I
nothing nothing has registered correct correct they all seem to be not
make no no no transmogrification magic was what it was on
it was transportation magic no transportation magic on ames not not not whatever I
just said but transportation is what we're not looking for and it's not present
in these individuals I didn't find anything else in investing in dating the other
cells that I released, just getting everyone out
and then returning to the group.
What did you roll for your message?
It was a 10.
It was 10, you did not.
So as they're coming out and getting
this verbal confirmation from Felix,
I just want to put a point of lay on hands
into each of them as I'm grabbing.
Okay, so I'm one point of healing.
Yeah, because I only have 20,
so I'm just giving them all point of healing
just in case they were not stable.
You boop each one to try to get them a little bit.
You see a little bit, a little bit of,
a little bit of healing.
in each one.
And, um.
In case we're bleeding out or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think we gotta get the fuck out of here.
Well, I, I appreciate how you feel.
I, however need this person, this Nina or Dora,
or Nora or Katrina, to answer my fucking question,
where did you get that mark on her back?
She looks at you and she with wide eyes.
She says,
And she points towards the large stone,
Butchers table at the center
where you found for the log.
I run towards the butcher's table when I see her.
An investigation chat.
11.
11. I'd say it'd be pretty easy to find
you reach underneath that and you find
you feel wood.
You pull it out. You find a long bow.
Polished, almost sparkling with pink sparkles.
Polish wood.
Intricently carved on the native side.
Almost it was like like
rows of hair kind of just
carved into this wood.
Very pristine long bow almost as if it was untouched.
So now that I've heard Iris say mark on your back,
do I, running back into the group,
do I see the mark on her back?
Okay, but it does, I'm 12.
You can see a bit of black on her back from the tattoo
as she looks at you and says,
I run back over and I look at Iris.
Do not.
And that to her.
Okay, I won't.
You will get it when you answer my question.
Not a second before, do you understand me?
I will break it over and I will break it over and I will.
my knee so fast.
Central.
Did you get it willingly?
Was it forced upon you?
I don't like this.
I'm removing myself in this.
I need to commute with Anubis and I'm going to sit down and I'm going to cast augury.
Okay.
And I'm going to ask Anubis's guidance as to if I'm going to pull my lamp out and I'm going to do my ceremony
and I'm going to ask him if this is a person that I should trust.
or if I should keep them in a distance.
Wheel or woe, or wheel and well.
Wheels good, woe is bad.
Yes.
So Iris takes 10 minutes, anything you want to do
while she's channeling.
You see her kind of get into the sand
and she's like, out swiping.
She's kind of like doing this cat then,
making markings in the ground,
and kind of make all of these markings
as she then produces a oil lamp on the ground.
Aladdin style.
A lantern style alights the end and sees a flame,
and then starts channeling staring into it.
Is there anything you want to do in there's 10 minutes?
I want to take more time to investigate the cages like DeBriza's doing,
but I want to look for Corvachian military anything.
That might signify the military had been here or was involved in it.
Investigation check, please.
Just casually perusing the area.
We got so intense.
I had to get another ice cold Budweiser.
That's hilarious.
Everybody knows the king of being.
I've gotten back to you.
Sorry.
No, you're good.
That's what with your 21 investigation.
With your 21, you look around and you're looking for any sign,
you find nothing.
Mongey looks.
These seem to be hunters, townsfolk.
commoners as I relieved
so I've been
looking through like completely transfixed
and horrified what I've been seeing
I just want to see like
Joe is the moment seen him yet
he's relaying to us
but I'm like so horrified
that I've been watching and rejoin him after I do
my search I guess I'd be looking
for two things one is is there
just sort of do I just see them
transforming and moving east anything different
beyond that and also I just want to try to
to get myself the land of like, can I find Kirstein?
Can I find any other villages or towns that I can see from the block?
You spin around in a full 360.
You see the occasional village.
Kyrshine is way too far for you to see.
But you see the occasional town in the dotting with Stout Maine Highlands.
Used to turn around.
These ogres and hill giants have probably started to,
they are spreading their blessing.
Horns, hair, size, bea,
Beastial fury, sharp razor-fang,
bestial teeth, and they all are joining the Horn Legion
walking through this mountain pass,
walking into the forest heading east.
Iris, you stare into the flame of this lamp
as you've cast augury, and you hear in the back of your mind.
Hersia, you may give her that bow.
Or what's you involved in?
Little lady.
But whatever it is, you now need to talk once you're eating,
and you feel that time.
I reluctantly walk up to her and I'm sitting there.
Alright, Iris said this is all right, so here you go.
And so I'll hand her her bow back, and as I hand it back,
I use my other hand over top of hers, and I've pumped the last
eight points of lay on hands on her.
Okay, you pump the last eight points, and she grabs the bow.
And on the side of her, there's a surge in her,
and she grabs the bow.
and she says...
The prompenter her eight times.
You pump eight times.
That's impressive.
I can't, anyway.
I have two fingers left.
So I have two fingers left.
Whoa.
That's impressive.
I mean, why not three?
Anyway, she grabs the bow and she, and you, she says, thank you.
Looking at the bow, and she examines it.
Is it all right?
Louder.
I'm fine.
I know.
Kind of looking at the bow and she says like this.
a bow and she says that was a weapon.
Oh, good, Capricci.
You have another one that talks to a weapon?
Yeah, no, I-
We're gonna get along, great.
It's usually just sort of like a thing
that people do in order to feel like a weapon.
You know, it's not important.
I'm sure she's not actually talking for a weapon.
No, it kind of sounds like he was thawking back.
Do I see any forces coming towards
the, towards Butchers Bluff to collect the sacrifice
or anything like that?
Make a possession check.
Oh, got to give it up.
Gotta give up for money.
Oh, apologies.
It's not a touch.
Yeah, it's a bit loud.
Yeah, I wasn't expecting to turn into the Alliance theme.
It started with horror, which is great for overs.
But then it went to Alliance,
this is epic, and heroic, and amazing,
because Alliance is way better than Horrors.
Got them.
Four of them!
Oh, okay.
Maybe that actually wasn't supposed to actually play,
and it was the end of my playlist.
Apologies.
When, uh,
as I finish my search, I'm going to just walk back over to Toh
and say, I know this is bad, this is real bad, but it's
terrible. The only, the only, you know, slight good thing here is that there
doesn't seem to be any sign of the Kravaki military.
So I still just can't figure out what role they play at all this.
But at least there's no sign of them actively being here and involved currently.
Is it possible? So before I say this, would Toa think to
to put it together, that maybe the Korovacian military isn't related, but they're using the fake beast plague
because they know it's a real thing and sort of like hiding, you know what I mean?
Like would they...
Can I talk to Felix enough where that would be a possible conclusion?
I would say in the time that we spent before meeting up with the group, he would know the most about my life.
I would say that would be a very reasonable conclusion.
So you think.
So is it possible, Felix, that there's no military anyway.
These guys are legitimate beast monsters.
There's something crazy going on.
There are rituals.
They are gods.
There's iron crown.
And we found a crown in Miss Cross crossing.
We found a few of them, right?
You did.
So is it possible that the military,
Because you told me that the military was all an illusion, was all fake.
The beast plague that I witnessed in camp that night was not real.
So maybe the military has nothing to do with this,
and they're using this illusion to cover up their atrocities,
because they could just blame it on this other thing that really exists,
and they know it exists.
I mean, it's completely possible,
and I suppose that I would feel much, much better
if they weren't working directly with whatever the hell this is.
But at the same time, I don't know what they're doing.
I mean, it's odd to me that they'd be rounding up children,
and these creatures are doing the same things.
It's too much overlap for it to...
But I think you're onto something.
Hold on. I'm going to find Jamity, and I want to give her the...
Oh, that's right. I fucking forgot.
I don't know.
Jametie, can you take a look at the...
I'm gonna get me.
This is really fucked up.
I'm gonna give even more fucking drugs than I have in the past two fucking weeks I've known you assholes.
What's up, big fella? Big D.
Can you use gigantic bear arms and take a look at the...
It's bug bear, you fucking asshole?
That's very offensive.
I thought you were a type of bear. It's in the name.
I look more like a fucking cat than I look like a fucking bear.
like your fucking bear.
Why are you called the bug bear?
Boy, not in the time now.
What's the definition of the bear?
Hold on, let me write that down
and we'll discuss this later.
Does he always fucking ask
these stupid questions?
I wouldn't say they're stupid, they're just more
philosophical. Don't worry
about it. Anyway, just take a look.
Can you please look at the
META pass that they're going through over there?
In that direction, I pointed out.
Do you happen to know, you know this area
very well? Do you happen to know
in which direction?
Where could they possibly be going to
beyond the mountains?
She looks through it.
I ain't no fucking car photographer
where they look like
they might be fucking headed
ascentral.
That sounds very, very
doesn't it.
It's the military
remotely capable of defending themselves.
I mean,
yes, absolutely.
Now, I don't know
the strength of these creatures
beyond what we've experienced.
But if anybody's going to be prepared
for any kind of an invasion or onslaught,
it's going to be the military.
Assuming that they're not working together.
Assuming.
It seems crazy that why would they be marching his intro
and also working with the government?
It doesn't make sense.
None of this makes sense.
I agree.
I've honestly been confused
since we met the rest of this group.
Nothing has made any sense.
Everything I thought I knew was a lie.
Didn't Nora say that she got her tattoo in Centra?
Well, I wasn't there, but she might know her to get there.
Iris is the one that heard that.
Oh, sorry.
And while they're discussing, Iris, I want you to make a clip-and-check.
Okay.
You make a clip-check as well.
Natural 20-pick-a-rat-jack!
Yeah, got to get it.
I got to get it.
I might get spiking.
No, I don't know.
I'm just, I'm, it probably is, I don't know.
What?
I'm just joking that our mic is psyched.
Oh, probably.
I'd love to have a mixing board one day.
You said he got a five, I believe.
Five?
Iris, you almost don't notice something slept
into your hand.
To hand?
She's on a cant.
Your hand, your paulish hand.
My panned?
You're pan.
I love PAN Express.
But we'll not enough about that.
We'll miss a Pandaria.
Missing Pandaria.
So you feel something slip in your hand.
And Caprice, you're kind of busy looking
all of these other captives.
I would be looking at the bow trying to judge whether or not
it was damaged or anything like that.
The damage, the bow seems to be in pristine condition.
The strange thing about this is that Nora seemed to be talking to it.
Well, I was just fixated on it,
and that's why I miss whatever.
Yeah, you miss.
It's actually kind of glinting with strange pink sparkles.
As, uh,
be passed down for generations.
And, uh, how do you know?
And she doesn't have to say that.
And then, uh, she, uh, you feel something slip into your hand, Iris.
And you feel, it feels cold.
Actually, slightly warm.
I think it's been warm by body of heat, but metallic.
As you feel something circular.
You gotta look at it?
Yeah.
You look at it.
It looks like a corner and a bite in, but make sure it's not chocolate.
It is, it is, it doesn't even be a coin, but it's going to be a relatively small brooch.
It seems to be in the same exact design of the tattoo on her.
We're going to talk about this later.
I'm going to lean in like I'm giving her a hug.
I'm going to whisper, I'm going to whisper,
you just let me know, darling.
The first person I like right on my back will be tricked through the jungle.
I don't care.
I just want to know about this and it will be good.
Uh, make us lay up hand check real quick.
There are my little lady.
And a 15.
I would say it's probably enough to get everyone's passive insight.
So perception.
Perception?
That's a perception.
It's 11.
13.
Probably everyone's perception.
So this happens without anyone else noticing.
You manage to kind of have this very slight exchange.
Meanwhile, then she kind of goes back.
She's talking to go back and talking to the bow.
And then the rest of these prisoners are,
she's in the best shape, honestly, of all
the prisoners, everyone else seems to be on the fear, on the verge of consciousness, slipping
in and out. I'm looking around. Does there appear to be any way out of here, aside from
where we came in? And if there isn't, I'm going to ask the same of Janity, Jamming.
Are you fucking asking me if there's some fucking shirt-cut down?
Well, I can't see the way down other than this one path. And honestly, through that path,
there could be a very angry hill giant on the way out.
I'm with him.
Yeah, do you have like a goblin kite that we could just like take down?
Is there like a zygworn?
I don't know what fucking goblins you've known.
I've known hundreds in my fucking lifetime,
and none of them were smart and left
to fucking design a single fucking kite.
They are these stupidest sons of bitches,
and they like owl bears for some fucking reason.
Yeah, that's always really confused me.
Can you have any way to aluminum?
You know, let's talk about that next time
we have a short run long time.
Do you write that one down?
Why do goblins like owl bears?
Yeah.
I think it's because they're so
fucking weak and useless that they need another
creature to do their own fucking work.
Goblins and bug bears.
Not bug bears, al-bars.
I don't even know what that is?
No, bug bears.
We're very fucking different.
He said al-bars, right?
No, I was asking about the relationship
between goblins and bug bears.
Where did Al-Bairs come from?
She just said that goblins love al-bees.
Yeah, but why did she say that?
I was asking about bug bears.
I can't wait to get crossed by that whole day.
What's the difference?
Anyways.
Stop warning!
You see you look like I'm not like our, I'm not like on the deviling God.
It wasn't, it was more of a warful, sarcastic hope.
Not a, not a dom-stomp to you.
Yeah, don't know.
You hear one of the prisoners like,
God, I wish that was me.
Dom-stomp healing and just punning
no way else.
But seriously, bleh.
Blah.
Blah.
Blah.
But seriously, is there another way down from here other than this one path?
Well, let me fucking take a look.
You're gonna fucking help me out there, Music Man?
We're both looking together.
Are you gonna fucking do some Music Man
to see if I'd fucking find anything more
than what I had fucking planned or for notice initially?
I think she wants you on a capler, you know,
how you do it inspired to do better than she usually does.
Oh, okay.
I mean, that's, I can just play, you know what,
I'll just tell, I'm just gonna tell you a limerick.
Yes.
There, there, there, there once was a, a girl from,
Australia. You wouldn't know it, so District and Dalekka. There was a girl from Australia who painted her ass like a dahlia. The linework was fine and the color sublime, but the smell, that was a failure.
I will spend an inspiration. Okay, I will.
It's the bar, ladies and gentlemen.
The color is so bright.
Uh, uh, and she walked up.
Hey, I found out.
It's not towards the fucking hill giant.
All right.
All right.
But which direction is it?
He's down the fucking side.
Is it going to bring us closer to the army?
We need to get down the side, the south side.
We came the fucking west side.
This is down the south side.
The giant is probably, who the fuck knew?
I'm trying to, I think we should avoid the army of beastmen
that are potentially converging on the capital.
You think I want to get fucking thrown by a whore and like these sons of bitch?
I don't, I just, stress is high right now.
I apologize.
Just leave the way.
My stress is fucking, I don't usually do this sort of thing.
I loaf off and someone tells me to cut throat
and I sneak around, I cut throat,
and I get drunk and I go to sleep and re-free peat.
I don't mean to cut us off here,
but I've been hugging the blonde.
What is our plan?
Do we have all?
We're just going to walk down the mountain and then what?
So just real quick, while all this is like the bickering
and all that's five minutes.
Can we just say that I walked off to the side?
Take the shortcut and protect everyone best we can.
So I walked up to the side, I took out my figurines, and I put, you know, the bore in the north, the moa in the east, the turtle in the south, and the shark in the west.
The boar in the north.
I want to kneel down, like, between them all and just kind of pray and just get a sense of I can feel like, since we're up high, we're kind of where the winds are, you know what I mean?
I want to see if I can get a sense of, if I can feel anything that I used to back home.
Make religion check as a hand.
We're all making fun of those gods.
Plies pray.
Religion?
18.
Girl from Australia has been closed.
Toa.
They're there forever.
You pray to the great four-wind spirits of your islands.
You, in this land,
you had not, until you had gone to sugar,
you had not felt their presence in honor.
Neither had the rest of your people.
However, upon arriving here,
you'd occasionally felt the occasional twinge, the presence.
And here, with the winds howling on basically every direction, every several seconds,
you feel the presence of them stronger than you've had.
You've felt in months.
But it's not the same calming certainty that you felt from them in your entire upright.
There seems to be a sense of distress.
That's what you get.
So I just get out silently and I walk back to the E-Crook.
Well, do you want your statues back?
I collect my stuff.
Oh, okay.
Oh, shit.
Hey, you can't pay.
This is important.
It's not important in the North.
Oh, kick him over.
He collects his perfectly card figures and collects his gods.
And I put them back.
Would we have all seen him do this?
Oh, yeah.
It's very obvious.
I'm not hiding it or anything.
doing it. So it's not just so much
of you guys screaming at each other.
It's a little far off.
Man, Felix, these guys are guns. Let me tell you.
Don't even get me started.
I mean, I will eventually, but let's
what did you find? How do we get down from here
other than the path we came in from?
I don't want to use some fucking ropes or something. You guys got
climbing gear up. Oh, did we
find out what that disgusting, sticky,
can they assume to the slimy thing?
I would say that we've had like 30...
It's a rope of course.
climbing. That's what it is.
What? You have a rope of climbing, a bag of holding, and goggles of night.
Thank you.
Is a rope of climbing different than just a rope?
Yes. Oh.
Yeah, a rope of climbing has magical benefits.
Oh.
Does it coil itself and not get nodded?
Can you see in the dock?
No. Well, that's fine.
I do see that we can climb down, but we have another like 15, two dozen people back there.
back there. Not everybody can climb down a rope.
They're all pretty seriously injured,
malnutrition, you know,
swamp ass, that kind of thing.
The last one, I don't think
is a medical position. I don't know. I was very nice.
Capricino. Well, I'm
telling you, I took you up the way
we fucking came. You're the dumb
fucks that send a fucking hill giant
trundling down there.
Well, we might have to just deal with that
because I can't think of any other way to get
these fine folk down there
without making him climb or other
otherwise endanger themselves.
I'm a little
battered, but I still
got some fuel in the tank for fighting.
I feel similarly fuel-like.
Interesting.
I think you can't...
I could probably strap like three or four of them
or six of them to my back, but that's still only
half of them. I can't use like I'm one of them.
If you can do that, and Herzsch can do the other six,
then one of the solid, then 12 totaling.
Can you handle six?
Which only enough, according to the priests, is two dozen.
Well, I think that we could probably
I mean, I think if I'm not mistaken, the rope can hold up to us a lot of weight,
and they can all just kind of hold on to me and then go down the rope.
Can we?
What if we just drag them on the ground?
Some sort of polish on the rope and we just drag them down the hillside.
No, I'll just have a helicopter drop for the road down.
Let's just get the fuck out of here.
We're going to walk.
If we run into a hill giant, we'll toast it.
That may have to be our option.
I agree.
Does it look like really treacherous down the way that she found?
Yeah, I mean, it seems like, well, I'm very stride.
I don't know about you fucking.
I can give that on that.
I don't know about all these sick, weak, useless sex and shit.
Swamp asses.
Swamp asses.
I mean, the swamp asses can't make it.
We would be fine.
That sounds like you're like a nice liver.
Can you, this is where you find?
I'm
You just lower them down
one by one with this rope of sticky climbing
that I found?
Yes, exactly.
That's what you're supposed to fucking do.
I don't fucking know.
It's your decision,
you are bribing me with fucking alcohol.
I am literally the drunk help.
Literally.
I don't even know what it literally fucking means.
I finished my flask inside.
You're fucking welcome for that.
Thank you kindly.
No, it was very appreciated.
It really helped me with the breakers and whatnot.
Does it look like it's safe at the bottom at all?
Are they still marching towards?
Oh!
We'll go down the hill.
Recession checked out.
One plus four, so five.
It looks like there's a lot of ogres and giants
heading east through the mountain paths
with the Culver mountains into the dark forests
towards Zentra.
Is that with a C or Z?
Z. Z. Z.
Z. Z.
Zentra.
I forgot that name.
It's like ketchup.
It's like ketchup.
Farmsytical.
What?
Parts.
Hey, that's like my low blood pressure medicine.
I'm on 12.
Too many ribs.
Too many ribs.
Too many ribs.
Too many more.
Hey, have you ever eaten so many barbecues
pears you pass out?
I know I have.
I know I have.
You ever had so much Budweiser?
You transcended the plane, the material plane, and went to the Budweiser plane.
I know I have.
Would you say that we've spent like enough time fucking around 30, maybe 40 minutes that
we could safely say that this has been a short rest?
Yeah, it's 100% of short rest.
It's an hour.
I would say it's been an hour of you all just different.
Often we need to play it safe.
I can't risk taking these 12 sick and wounded people
down this terrible, treacherous cliff.
I think we need to walk down.
Hopefully he's gone through those woods.
I think we just walked the safest way down,
the way we came up.
Yeah, you know.
I think of a large cliff and a rope
that can carry a lot of weight and I think,
wow, that sounds so much more dangerous,
a gigantic ogre that could step along with these swamp asses.
In one fucking step find I am.
But you know, if you think that they're going to fare
better against nowhere than sure.
A giant?
Oh, I'm sorry, giant.
What's the drop? What's the drop was like from this back passage?
I mean, it's hundreds of feet down.
You're on a large drop formation.
We would probably have to take the time.
Tie the rope around each one of them individually and slowly lower them down.
Yeah, I don't think that's.
We gotta walk.
Here's the thing.
With the short rest, I'm feeling a lot better.
I'm certain that the six of us can come together and defeat one yield time.
We can do it.
I'm not concerned with our ability to defeat it.
I'm concerned with how many of the swamp passes it can step on before we defeat it.
It won't protect them.
We'll do the best that we can.
It won't kill them all, and we'll save as many people as it possibly can.
It's not all of them.
I mean, we can't guarantee everyone's safety.
We do what we can.
I feel a personal, like a virtual connection.
Connection on a spiritual level with this particular MPC.
It's Jimas.
God, I can't stop saying Jimsick as a Mons.
I know Moth is in your blood.
Jamity, Jamity, Jamitie.
So let's think, if we take this disgusting, sticky rope,
then it's a pyrrinerometrical, I like throw it in the air and I say,
ooh.
It does robe of climbing things.
Okay.
I don't have it in front of me.
We would need to actually have the act card,
which is on D&D Beyond.
It is on D&D.
I'll check recurrently.
Because somebody didn't print out magic item.
I'm not writing this shit.
With Vien beyond, I can just tell you what it is.
Because it's hundreds of feet, it would actually,
it would have to, like, stick to the side of the thing
and basically, like, do do, like.
Slinky.
It's not like 100% of cliff face, right?
It's like you climb, you scale down.
There's a little cleft.
There's a scale down.
It's a little cleft, right?
It's just like kind of like the do to do and do what it's worth I can climb on things
I'm yeah very good so I can always accompany who is going down
I'm not really fond of going up and down the cliff face but raise your hand if you can see in the night
oh wow that's pathetic you guys I mean in the bench how many fucking whiskey's out of
that fire it's not a problem I I get around at night all right you guys do
do some sort of I don't know who who wants these
goggles. I look through them and it's like I'm looking through my normal eyeballs, so I can only assume that they're just a nighty goggles.
I think that maybe Taua would benefit most from it because he's usually in the front lines with me.
I don't necessarily even want them, to be honest with me.
Yeah, and I have the head glasses.
You have speculums on?
Yeah.
Oh, well, alright.
I didn't realize that.
Tullogne very nice.
I'm going to say the same fucking thing.
I've been meeting.
I've been working up the courage to see how nice.
those fucking glasses.
Is that totally true?
That's great.
Well, Towa goes to our glasses.
There are little rose-colored color.
Plus I'll be sticking with them anyway, so it'll be fun.
I will add that to my inventory.
Who's doing bag of holding shan-a-haw?
So I've got this giant purse here, and if you'll notice.
It's so shit.
It's quite deep.
My only issue with Caprice, keeping the baguylion.
I'd personally prefer Coct to Phoenix.
I think he is the most scared of everybody.
I don't have a good thing.
I don't have to store things.
I could carry it.
I mean, yeah, what do you carry?
I'm gonna start tossing trinkets.
I'm gonna take off a couple of my rings and throw them in there.
And then I'm gonna get them back out and put them back on.
You just didn't take on her and put them in and then I'm gonna get him back down and put them on different figures.
It's a perfect fit.
And I'm gonna do that for a while.
Just make sure you go over here.
And then I'm gonna like excessor.
I'm gonna put it on this hip.
No, no, no.
You'll keep a very good inventory on all of our gear, too.
I think that would be very, I think you'd be very wise.
Just a fucking shit.
It's as if you could control our entire inventory
in your own application.
I'm gonna keep you crank my own shit, all right?
Yeah, no, I'm definitely keeping track of my own shit.
Also, 379, one moment.
Everybody gets this number of goals.
In January?
Three, no.
Has it's 63 and 1.6 over.
I'm happy drinking fucking boobs.
I don't know what I need to go for?
63.
We all get six gold pieces?
Yeah.
Damn.
Where is shit?
Nice.
Sixty-three?
Guys, I'm tired.
I'm ready to go.
We need to get the fuck out of here.
I'm a little exasperated.
Is everyone feeling rested?
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to do my song of rest.
This is your resting song and it isn't very long.
Hey.
And let's move on all right.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Are we going down?
So, we think, this is the thing.
If we tie...
We can use this rope of climbing.
We could tie this rope.
It's very long.
It's 60 feet.
And it holds 5,000 pounds.
We can just tie it around the waist
and all 12 of them,
and then we'll just use that to get down with them.
I just think that's a terrible idea.
So I like you a lot.
It can magically hold them all.
They literally can't...
Are you sure if one of us doesn't, like,
accidentally slip at five feet?
They're not just going to all...
That's disgusting
Insta death
That would be fucked up
That would be a little dark
For this game
Well you know
You can tell it something
And it can stick to the side of the cliff
So like if someone slips
It just kind of catches them
You know
A whole boule style
It's like your own personal boule
I think that
If we could avoid the fart
And they can be safe with this throat
It just seems
irresponsible
To not use this throat
That we just go
irresponsible?
Yeah, because it's so useful.
I mean, I feel like it's perfect for this situation.
Yeah, I mean, just because we find a magical item,
it doesn't mean we have to be like,
yeah, yeah, let's just use it right now, immediately.
I'm with Caprius on this one.
I think we just need to get, we need to go back to the way we can,
and we'll deal with the hill giant and we find it.
All right, that's fine, that's fun. Let's do that.
I think that's safe as well.
I just wanted to try out this new item.
Do you want to go, like, does it look like the side
the road like wraps around the mountain,
that he could just try the room of climbing
and meet us at the next area
if he really felt like he wanted to.
Well, why do you use the rope of climbing?
Give it a go and we'll meet you
and, uh, you're gonna be okay, go myself.
Are we fine, yeah, yeah.
Would you like it to climb down with you?
If you'd like, yeah, if you like to do.
Well, I don't you need you.
It's up to you.
I mean, I'm happy to go on my arm,
but if you'd like to come, they'd be very nice.
Are we going to wait for you up here?
Because if so, I can look at my asshole.
No, no, no, we can do that.
We can do that?
Yeah, just throw my leg behind my head,
and I'm just laying there.
You've lived the life of luxury.
It's just fantastic.
I'm the daughter of the pharaoh.
We're going to meet him down where the rope terminates.
Oh, that all climb down the cliff, yes.
That's a suspicious guy.
So we do that.
I'm going to stick with the.
So what do you do?
The prisoners.
The rest of us, except for Toa and Iris,
are going to walk down.
Get murdered by Hill Jones.
They're going to climb down to test the rope of climbing,
to enjoy a nice climb for recreational purposes, I guess.
So you all do that.
For the sake of brevity, none of you encounter the fucking hellshy.
Thank God.
The curse and went off with the rest of the fuckers.
Hey.
You would assume.
Yay.
Who, thank goodness.
You would assume.
But in went like 20 minutes ago.
People have went down with the rope,
and they're like, with the rope,
meet up with Nestor, like, very quickly.
And so Nestor like, do you?
Find Nora.
Right here, yeah, absolutely.
Who are down with the rope?
We did.
So yeah, they, so you two get there away,
you guys are just, whoa.
We got all the prisoners.
Yeah, you're all prisoners, so you're like,
we did, we found your sister.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you find Nora?
We did, we did, we found your sister
and the bow, so.
Oh, she has a strong bow.
She does.
Oh, thank goodness.
I think she might have hit her head
because she's talking to it.
Is that normal, does she usually talk to it?
You know, of course, I mean, I've, yes.
All right, well, that's fine.
Have you never heard of a sentient weapon?
It's sentient.
Well, yeah, you know, because of, well, I don't know.
Am I with them?
No.
I've heard of someone that thinks their weapon,
sentient, but it's not really sentient.
We actually have one of those in our party.
My name's Herger.
But I don't think it's really sentient.
I think it's just more of them an imaginary friend.
I think she's just really sad after me.
Well, this weapon is very sentient,
and this is incredible, I'm so happy, he goes,
Oh, I'm so happy, right!
And he, like, he, he hugs you,
almost crushes you in a bear hug with each of you.
You smell like,
because I'm so happy you have no right,
Strongbow.
And he, BB, BB, BB.
And he's, and there's like tears streaming from his face
and he's only kind of covered in the same sparkles.
The same pink sparkles you saw on the bow
as he hugged you and then you're able to...
So why don't we...
We found 12 people alive, including your sister.
Oh, thank goodness.
So why don't we wait down here?
We'll wait at the...
We'll just like wait where the path kind of terminates at the bottom.
Why don't we go ahead and wait for them there
and we'll meet up with them.
You can be reunited.
Where should we take all these former prisoners?
Not current prisoners, we're not imprisoning them.
They'll show you.
To be clear.
Just to make sure you know.
We'll take them back to the lodge.
I think that is the closest, the closest response, the closest option.
What is the lodge?
So there's a lodge nearby.
The Lock Feather L-O-C-feather lodge.
Lock-Fever.
Lock-Fever L-C-Fether Lodge.
And that's where you live, where you're from?
No, no.
I mean, my half our home is elsewhere,
but many a great hunter live there.
That's where I departed from.
That's where I've norah departed from.
That's perfect.
If it's near bar, let's go there.
It's a week's travel.
Oh, that sounds terrible.
Thank you, God.
Unless it's, like, really nice.
I mean, it's okay.
You're out there.
You all right.
You all right.
No!
He's...
And his eye.
His exterior.
shoot in his face, he's covered in sparkle.
As he picks up the tiny blonde woman
and gives her a large hug.
We're all back.
You're all back.
Oh, I apologize.
As we were arriving, I was singing,
Guess who's back?
Halk Green Sacks.
Holt Green Sacks.
Holt green sack.
Hoke green sack.
Hoke green sex.
Ha, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
Na, nah.
And you say that out.
Wow.
And you see, like, Nord,
as distaste as Nestor kind of grabs her up and gives her a large hug and you're
oh I thought you a damn oh I thought you lost the strong problem and so he's trying
and she's like I'm almost dead I almost lost the strong papa
it's been oh so it's down and like you know they're they're talking they're kind of go off
to the side and they're catching up and she's making sure she's okay and
You're all gathered together, and Jamie walks up to you and says,
See, I mean, I can do what I fucking do.
I mean, hey, I'm a pretty good fucking scout.
Jamie, you've been a fantastic scout for us.
I guess to say, you've been worth every drop.
Yeah.
I would fucking hope so.
I feel like I have earned.
What's I earned again?
What do we even do here?
Oh, that's right.
The good shit.
I feel like we can get more.
Oh yeah, we'll get some more.
We'll get some more.
She looks directly and you of things.
Oh my God.
Her like bugbear.
The crazy eyes.
Her hell of those crazy eyes.
Her bugbear face and like her crazy,
golden eyes.
I feel like in my mind, like my whole mind just blacked out
except for like the eyes staring at.
That's exactly.
It's literally what happened.
Oh my God.
It's literally what happened.
We'll do what happened.
Well, we can, I mean, where are the nearby villages?
I know we probably want to get to this lodge so that we can all rest, but there's definitely
something to be said for getting these people.
The week is a long, that's a long time.
We take them back to the ministry.
It's further, is it further or?
It's about the same some more.
You know, that's not a bad idea, be completely honest.
I mean, we were there for a very short period of time, and now that we've got a little
Did you know where the hut is, this lodge is in relation to Zentra?
The lodge, the lodge would be, the lodge be more on the way.
I'm just saying to go back to Kirstein, the old way to Zentra would be done with that
the lodge would be, is north to go, you're going to way south back out of the way towards
Entra to get back to Kirstein. Right. The lodge is basically further up north is on the other side
into the hills of, uh, so Nestor would basically come in north and hit this went down south and you happen
basically circumvent him here.
Idea.
Jamity, would you be comfortable?
Sorry, let me converse with my friends.
I'm gonna go get fucking glad.
Fuck you.
Okay, horn guy.
Like, you're so fucking trustworthy
with your black people inside of your fucking horn.
Fuck you.
And you're stupid violence.
Damn.
To be all.
You know, you try to please
your fans and they get all of the chair.
She walks over and just starts risking the pair.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
What I'm supposed to do is that we send Jamity
and to scout along with the group of people,
with the exception of the strong lines.
They can lead us to the lodge,
but we can send them back to Kirstein
with a letter that authorizes Jamadie
to get an additional pass for two of what happens.
I don't think we write you to the literature
months and say, by the way, you must give her alcohol because we said to.
Didn't we steal all those last birds?
Yeah, I don't know that we're going to be able to get that much.
The ones from the monastery at least, we got through honest means.
But Luce did to get the other ones, I'm not sure, but I tend to not to ask.
I've just been gone for so long and to show up and ask for, you know...
To pay for where...
So many things.
I'm just trying to come up.
up with ideas for how we can help these people, but like, you know, we could just say fuck
them and go on the lodge.
We could bring them with us to the lodge, is the point.
That's what he was saying, right?
My concern is, my concern is we're traveling for a week and these people are gravely wounded.
We can't be responsible for 12 people, yes, 12 people who are severely wounded.
Could you heal them?
What do I look like?
A medicinal fountain.
You look a little bit like a cleric in my house.
Yes, and I can do it to a certain extent.
It's not like you can just milk a cat for health.
Well, do you have nipples?
Can you milk me dreg?
You milked me fuck her?
Have you ever met?
I did someone like fucking robbers.
She doesn't actually say this.
This conversation is clearly taking a turn.
You know, we could just say, hey, this is where we're headed.
You do you.
And people who want to spend for themselves or join along, they could join along.
I mean, there's nothing, we don't absolutely have to cradle these babies all the way or whatever.
Yeah, that's one's terrible.
How long is it a watch? A week?
To a watch?
A week at a lodge.
Going at like a standard, like, walking pace that you'd expect from, with all these people, yes.
if you were picking up
and didn't have prisoners and would be a different
refugees. So it could be
five to seven days, but okay.
I would say four to seven days.
It's going to be... Next day, should be...
It's going to be... Next day, right. Next to show.
I mean, I love the idea that we could have more
people because I've got like some improv games
that require more than six that we can all play.
We could have a really fun night.
Every night.
You know, have we just thought about
asking them what they want to do?
Yeah, no.
Like maybe they can go figure it the fuck out and we can just keep trekking on
I turn around getting to know you getting to know all about you
I'm just I'm just saying like they're they're capable they're not children
they look like adults right yeah I mean they're probably like severely malnourished maybe
we could camp probably just want to go home yeah we could camp out with them for a night
so that we can protect them make sure that they get a full night's rest
you know, we can, I can pump whatever
healing I've got left.
I don't. And you can do them eight times already.
Well, yeah. Well, 12, actually.
And then eight is to Nora.
Nora liked it the most, though. She looked pretty
good.
I'm going to jump up.
Just what DM said. Yes, what DM said.
DM said, she looked pretty good.
I turned to the 11 of them
and I say, you guys,
where would you like to go?
Would you like to go to Keystone?
Or would you like to go to this large thing?
Or would you like to just run off into the wilderness on your house?
Yeah, do whatever you want.
I'm not going to invent any characters for any of these throw-away.
They're all wearing red shirts.
They're all wearing red shirts.
They all have very generic personalities.
They're all bald.
And they get the sense that they don't really care.
They just want to get home.
They're all holding rocks, like, from rough.
This is called dodging the guacquot.
Yeah, dodging the guackwood.
No, no pit-meg red shirts, no unicorn kemp.
in this campaign.
No, we need a more cabin.
You're going to get a sense of what they mean by home.
Generally, they're down towards south by Kirsten.
Oh, okay.
Or in the east, they're generally not towards the north
of the Lockfeather Lodge.
Well, they'd probably be all right on their own
just heading south.
I mean, the armies of the horniness, they were heading east.
Are we married with that name?
I mean, we're having a relationship with that name.
with that name.
Damn.
I'm so sorry.
You say that you can't be serious.
Not consensual.
Things are getting pretty serious.
Jesus fucking Chris.
I am now.
Well, I think that it's very serious.
It is this terrible threat moving east.
It would be quite a ways away out of our way
to go back to Kirstein, don't you think?
I agree.
That's too bad.
I had some really good songs written about Kirstein.
We can sing them to I.
We might go big there someday.
I'm sure we will.
But not today.
So group, why don't we all go back
to the lodge together? We'll
miss you back to health and then you can travel
on your own. And I'm saying this to
the 11 people.
Well, no, it's a week's journey north of the lodge
and they got to walk a week back to, yeah, it'll be
two weeks. When I give
one of the stronger folk
the rest of my javelins
and they can, you know,
Yes?
If you give me a letter of fucking recommendation
and give me some good shit,
I'll take these useless pieces of shit back down to fucking
gear sign and I'll drink for the rest of my days comfortably.
To be honest, I'd prefer to keep you with us.
We were talking about just sort of healing these guys up,
wrapping their wounds and sending them on their way.
Some good fucking wife, you know.
You know, it seems like the kind of thing that people grow up.
I don't think that's a good idea.
I mean, think we're in people.
I think they're impressed in they're terribly weak and injured.
I think they're in some kind of guidance.
I think we can spend the night with them and then, you know, and they'll be too.
Wow.
Because you're going to be pumped into them eight times until they feel like,
12.
I pumped in zero times.
I feel like, I'm missing.
So I think that's fine.
I think that's fine.
I just think that if we're going to, I think it's a great idea.
Gemini, if we can get you.
to try to make a choice on our own.
It's like a god speaks to us and says,
oh, actually, this is a bad idea.
Go with this one.
Well, whatever happens when this is,
how does that work?
To go for the lodge, I'm leaving with him.
And Toa's coming with me.
Well, I like the idea of rolling a diet.
I agree that how long as well
letting fake aside is a very reasonable course of action here.
I'm sorry, folks.
We want to do best to right by you, but...
So we're going to leave it to fate.
Why would we go back to Keystar?
No, we wouldn't.
We would let Jametie take them back to him.
That's fine.
So let's do this.
Jameteers or...
Or they come with us on even.
Well, I have advice right here.
Love you. Would you like to roll it?
Absolutely. I will use minor illusion to create advice.
What are the results would you prefer?
Oh, my God.
My passive perception, would that help me with this at all?
I would say make a deception check, Caprice.
This is the greatest thing that has ever had in history.
My passive perception is 17.
Yeah, I'm going to do a...
My lying is quite high.
but with the tent, it's not going to do it.
Damn. It's very clearly the separate days.
You piece of shit, what are you doing?
I'm gonna blow the illusion away.
Yeah, no, I...
You know that I cast magic too?
You know, that works so well in Gulpica.
It's my alone.
Do it to the stone man.
Would you like to roll the dye?
Look at this amazing dye.
Sure, and I immediately try to grab that.
Your hands passed through it.
Oh, jeez.
Did I break it?
Is it the eighth time you kick me with it?
I first flip it every time.
You know, you know, I just had to try.
I just had to try.
Why don't we, do you have a real buy?
Can we flip a coin?
We probably don't have a dime, but we probably have a coin.
Let's flip a corn.
That's probably a lot easier.
I mean, I just got 63 of them, yeah.
Then let's flip a coin.
What's heads?
Higgs is, is they come with us to the lodge.
Yeah, but what is we associating with the outcome of heads?
One to two is heads, three to four is tails.
Okay, and if I get a one or two.
They come to the lodge with us, his heads.
Tails, we're going to have Gemini, take them back to Keshton.
They're going with us to fucking lodge.
Are we in agreement?
Can we all just go nest at all?
As long as there's fucking boots of this lodge, if you and I was sure a bunch of...
and then your message says,
We have very good beer.
Trust me, you strange creature,
that I don't have much of a positive impression of.
Now that you return my sister,
I appreciate you more than I would of your filthy race.
I mean, you're very neutral race.
Jeremy darling, I think he's lying to you
because I heard that they're actually in a prohibition.
A what?
It's where they'd outlawed all ankle.
Is the Jammini?
Mm-hmm.
Who is the...
Make an exception check.
I wish I knew what was going on.
All my exceptions were terrible.
Um, twenty-two.
Fuck then, I'm going back to Q's style.
I'm bringing all these stupid.
Jamitty, I'm fucking with you.
Come on, let's go.
Fuck, that's fine, as long as there's fucking booze where I'm going.
I don't give a shit, okay, let's go.
I really like this thing.
You did this, Bob, this.
So we go.
We go towards the law.
You have no idea.
So.
So.
So we'll just say for the sake, you all get a long rest,
you're all heeled up.
Yay!
The group of people, Nora and Nestor continue to kind of talk off to the side.
They're trying to, Nora doesn't seem to be too interested in what Nestor has to say.
But Nestor is trying to kind of make sure that she's okay.
And you spend about five days.
Damn these shortcuts has allowed you to shave a lot of her.
time through her short cuts.
And eventually, you make your way through the foothills
and the highlands, and you eventually find perched
on a very high outcropping, this very large, elaborate
lodge that kind of spans all the way down with a variety
building.
It's almost like a compound.
And this group of, of, of, of, of,
refugees is finally that they've been traveling for so long,
they've been captive for so long,
they've been captive for so long, they're finally relieved.
And you've arrived, all of you,
and Nestor says, we're finally here, Nora.
You've arrived at the Lockfeather Lodge,
and you're all of the five.
That's a perfect.
You're supposed to end it.
Yeah, five, I get some coo-shunds.
That's so interesting that you would level us
after our whole experience conversation
that we had in the middle of this,
That's beautiful. Thank you, man. Yeah, that was awesome. Great awesome. Got to get it off to the DS.
Gotta give it off. Got to get us. Got to get us. Great up. Thanks, everybody.
Very cool. Very cool.
