Hey men, welcome to Legends of Adventress. I'm Toa Kamenui, and you're listening to Beneathar Quinks. Felix, at this point that you realize in your study is that the bit of Abak's ob, that you had not been warned about these flesh pillars, you had not been warned about his plane, the bloodshallows, but just these are the demons, the echolids. Wow. That's all these minions of the one known as Abaxab, the Prince of Vermin,

as they descend upon you, and the droning is utterly cacophonous. It is now Lufty's turn. Seeing Toa drop down and seeing these insects above me, I would kind of hop over him in a protective stance and ready my spoon for if one of these insects were to dive and try to attack him.

Cool. Oh, nice. Very nice. I'm just trying to get some... Thematic muse act. Yeah, let's get some crunch. I'm just rubbing my life over here. I got chocolate-covered coffee beans,

like a hot tea and a big teacup. This works for like a creepy swamp temple. Sure. Yeah. Okay. You're writing your action to attack. Yeah, to attack anything that might be swooping down to her toa.

Okay, Caprice you're up as these things are buzzing. and you see the strange, the triple skull is kind of fused together as you see now they have these strange proboscises where a tongue would be. Capricer out. I will step forward one square and I will, oh, geez, my fiddles gall fucked up, hold on.

Who did this? Ding, ding, ding, dund, dund, dund, and I'm starting to match the sound of the buzzing, that pulsing, thumbing, a thrumming that's happening, the buzzing all around is I match it and I amplify it. And focusing that magical, musical energy, I create a sound here that hopefully is sort of like

the antithesis of the buzz for the insects. I can cast synaptic static. Damn. Five, ten, 50, 20. How many are you going? Basically everyone except for six and nine and one. I think I can hit all of these with a 20-foot circle. Radius? Yeah.

Yeah. Two. What's the stat? The DC is Intelligence 18. Nice. Nine on two, 10 on three. Three on four. Is five in it?

Everyone except for six and nine. Five. Eight on five. And one. I skip one. Yeah. And one. Four on seven.

One on eight, five on ten. Oh, wow. They will take the full amount of 11, 15, 16, 22, 27, 31, 35. Yeah, 25. They will take 35 points of psychic damage, and they have to subtract a D6 from your attack rolls and ability checks and constitution saving throws

to maintain concentration moving forward. and they can repeat their intelligence savings at the end of each of their turn. You let out this caucinous droning that pierces through. It actually drowns out their own horrible droning. As you see as this icquer is pouring out of the eye sockets of these strange skull-like heads, as the ant scorpion fly-like bodies are kind of gyrating,

but then they redouble their efforts. As they take in a good amount of damage, they take the full damage from the side. I'll kneel down and I will grab Toa's back. Are you unconscious? Yeah. I'm gonna shake you and be like, Toa, come on! Get your ship together! We might be pregnant!

And I'm gonna give you inspiration. That's the end of my turn. Which ones did you hit? All about one, nine, and six. Wow! Okay? Okay. Okay. So here's a D12 for that. Oh, I would love to take that as a reminder. Would you like to use some oaks?

Yeah, I've got a bunch of that. I should probably find some sort of token of my own. Yeah, you need a capricie token. If you want the onks. Oh here, dude, all your beans. Gosh. Here, take a bean of inspiration, and I'll take my default back. I'm giving away your dice.

I feel like I should eat that. You need something bigger though. No, I don't know. I feel like it would be crunching in my mouth. Yeah, and a new jack. Yeah. Do you want me, you want me to use my glow forage to cut you out some wooden music notes? Oh, that would be fucking perfect.

Oh, that's amazing. Are you a glowforge? Yeah. That's really cool. I bought everybody an inspiration token years ago. They're all probably going now. I have mine, but it's in my dice bag. Mine's also in my dice bag.

Mine's five feet from us. That's for me, close. Oh, yeah. Okay. I'm gonna cast Fireball. So the question is, I'm gonna figure out the best way to get all of these guys. I'm thinking like, yeah, it's, everybody but three is pretty close or I can try to do

so you're gonna get all of them but two oh yeah three maybe it depends on if I go this direction it's gonna be three to basically no matter what if you can turn it you can get nice if you can cover half at least half of their square it counts as them being yeah yeah but you can get a little it's pretty close push it that way just a little bit more it's pretty close it's pretty close all right that's good that's good okay um I am holding the dagger in my My left hand is it begins to glow with this arcane magic and this this light blue magic quickly becomes a brilliant fire red as I Snap my finger across my body and a small orange orb shoots forth until it's at the center of this room and then all of these bugs are absolutely engulfed in a massive amount of flame

Anybody who's close to me looks at my face can actually see that I'm being my skin on my face is is turning red and being singed and you can't see but under my gloves my hands are being burnt as I am overcharging this spell at a fourth level to do 59 points of damage to anybody who fails the dexterity saving throw of 18 Oh, you don't even roll 18 no it's max damage. Okay, I'm gonna take 4012 damage Okay, I'm gonna roll oh how many how many which numbers I'll just roll down line Which one's not everybody but four and one okay So take 11 points of damage the dex you say nice nice so it's plus five Yeah, it's 18 seven on two Seven on two, that's a fail.

15 on three. Fail. That's a fail. Natural one on four. Fail. Five. Is a natural, are you gotta be kidding me?

You're rolling my fucking hot garbage. Is six in it? Is six in it? It's all the one in four. So six is in it. Six. Six. Sixes.

Okay. That's a 21. Yeah, it's a 18. Seven gets fails. Eight fails. Nine fails. And ten's on. Fireball.

And he overcharged. One in four was not in it. So 10 is not it. So everyone else failed, six succeeded. So they all take 59 points of damage. Half, that would be 30. I love a need to defy a ball. Fifty-nine, half of that is 30.

As you see, the flames erupt and they are buzzing. As their demonic flesh, they take a good amount of damage, but they seem, the demonic flesh seems to kind of seep in to, and they are resisting some of that damage. As they burst. If it's fire resist, I have... You ignore it, you've elemental master?

Yes. Uh-oh. You... So I have an animal adept fire. Spells ignore resistance to fire damage. Gino. And, but I have taken... I took 19 points of damage to do this.

You see this flame and necrotic take over a part of Felix's faces like wince and let this... You ignite, and even though... They are buzzing, and there are sums of beats seem to be some sort of sentience as they are stunned, as they are letting out this, as two, three, five, seven, eight, and ten are incinerated.

Two, three, five, seven, eight, and ten. That makes sense. Wow. Wow. I'm not gonna die here. That's my turn. And I'm rapidly running out of spell slots. Okay.

Well, that was. I'm just gonna do the case. I'm making every spell slot count. No, yeah. And so, with that, One, there are there only four left? Yep. Four left.

I should tell us, like, face down the dirt here. Yeah. We can't have this. They can easily get to everyone with their fly. No, they can't, Mike. You don't know. They can fly now? They fly now.

They fly now. Everyone but Caprice. They're going to go swarm down. Would you say that these are, that you could classify one of these as a fly with the buzz? Yes, there's a fly. Yeah, all of them are fly with the buzz. Great.

And also a scorpion with a buzz and an ant with a buzz. What's that mean? Are they swooping down to attack? They are swooped down, so you can go and make your time. Yes, as they swoop down, I will ready myself and I will. You're attacking the ones going after tow? Yes, so I will begin to spin my brewer's spoon around in the air, and as they come down, I will make a spoon attack on both one and...

You can only use it for one attack when it's reaction. Oh. And I can't use a key point for Flurry? It's just one attack it. Okay. Then I will attack, I don't know if that one was six or nine. It's one as the one of attacking. Mattela.

Oh, you can also attack six if you like. Okay, I'll attack one. I'll attack one. They're both flying in. Okay, so I will make a spute attack on a seven, 20. Yeah, you smack it with your spoon. 30.

And a D8. And that is the first time that I've hit them, I think. Yes. Do I have the thingies? You have the ZZZZZappies. Hey, look at that. Eight. Almost max.

Eight plus three, thunder damage. Eight plus three, so 11 points of damage. Add your decks. Yes, plus five decks, right? Oh, I'm sorry, yes. Thank you. 13, so 13 regular, um, punchy punchy damage and three thunder if that matter bludgeoned okay so much

you smack into it and it continues to go in as they all that out of a coffin this drone everyone needs to make a con saving throw as they're starting with the drone this is where I'm test just kidding I roll a natural 19 for twice with the ass I have your con is plus seven plus eight um yeah are you proficient I'm resilient. 14.

Oh, you're already unconscious. Oh, yeah. I'm going to spend a key point to... Here's the problem. I've already lost this. Derek, give me your D12 again. I took a feat. Every single opportunity I could.

I didn't take any... Yeah, I took resilient. We think a 13 would fail. It makes you proficient. Probably. Okay, I'm going to use a key point to use my diamond sole and rerol my... Okay, re-roll it.

I took infernal Constitution. Do we think a 16 would fail? It's close, I don't know. Should I use the inspiration? I'm gonna use the inspiration. Oh, absolutely, because you'll lose it if you don't, right? Yeah. That makes it an 18.

18 passes. Perfect. I got a 21. 21 passes. Toes are unconscious. On the three. 23. You all pass, none of you,

none of you fall unconscious. As the all fly in as they are going to, They open their mouths and these horrible proboscis has come out of the three combined jaws as they're gonna be attack on each of you. I believe Lufty is a disadvantage, correct? Yeah, until you get it. Yeah.

And I'm advanced. Oh, he's a disadvantage. Yeah. Okay, yes. Disadvantage on, I'm gonna do the proboscis on Toa. Advantage. Or advantaged. Oh, no way.

Seven plus 13. This is. I'm rolling my absolute ass. It's beneath our queens. It wouldn't be beneath their queens. Right. One on Iris. Oh, that's a regular.

I'm just gonna roll. Nine. Misses. On Felix. That misses. 13. 13. And then their stingers swoop down.

Oh no. As they are the segmented, all scorpion. This is the impression. And they each make. I'm gonna get smoked. I don't want it. Six sting attacks.

And you have dreads. Don't forget. Yeah. used to hit. Why would you do that? I'm going to use four dreads to re-roll all of those. Oh, the Proboscke? Yep. Okay.

Felix misses. Thank God. Toa. That's going to hit. I'm going to get Pergonaut on anyway. That's going to hit. Toa. Peggan on. Yeah. That's going to hit Iris. Perkins.

Lofty. Does it an 11 head? No. Okay. So, Proboscis attacks on both Iris and Toa. I've used four twists. Four twists. Yes, you have. Four dreads.

Four dress. And you have at least like seven or eight. One, two, three, four. I have four left. That sounds right. I have four left. That sounds very great. And so they are, is the proboscis.

That is going to be, I'm going to roll a bit of damage. And I didn't rage. We're having to January. Okay. Ah, six. Eight piercing damage and eight piercing damage and... Is that for both of us or just? Is that for both of us?

Oh, yeah, I'm just rolling the both, yeah. Eight piercing damage and 15 necrotic damage, double for Tawa. Oh! Oh! Because it's a crit, right? Oh, no. It is a crit, isn't it? So eight is also double, isn't it?

Yes. And your max HP is reduced by... Yikes. By that. Oh, good. That's good. And then... Both of ours are?

Yes. By the whole amount? And was it? Oh, no, the necrotic. Sorry. Which was, Necrodite. 15, because I took 30.

So mine's reduced by. What's 15, yeah. So my Eid is now off and I do negative. 10. Okay. And now we have, we have six stinger attacks on each person. So I'm gonna do, it's just straight on Iris, right? So I'll run one, two, three, four, five.

Wait, they each get six? Six, yeah. That's just dirty. What the fuck? So he's rolling 24 attacks. 16, 14, 14, 20. 20 hits. 21.

That hits. 14. Misses. Natural 20. Yeah, that hits. Okay. You're a grief clerk. I know.

I'm keeping drag for you. So that is... I want to keep my reaction in case something like that happens to one of you. Yes, sir. Okay. You thought pretty hardy. Five... I'm pretty party.

I'm pretty party. Nine points of piercing damage. Okay. And for all the attacks, I need, for all the attacks, and I need you to make a constitution saving throw. Just one? Actually, three.

Dude, I thought it was one D6 for me. I'm gonna roll the two, the ones on Walshawl. What's wrong? 20 on top. One passes. Then I got a 16 and an 8. Both eight fails. You feel as the stinger goes in,

you feel something enter your bloodstream. As you. 20 hits for me. Congratulations. Your bug, natural twinning. You keep seeing Gregman. Yeah. I don't understand it.

Yeah, I don't get the. Why it's G? What's a gene? Is that a pregnant? Because that's how it was the next to the meme I'm referencing. Four of them hit tone? Oh. Four of them hit? And that's skull crits, right?

Yes, they're all crudts. I didn't do it. Pregante and Pergne and all the stuff. Peginine. Peggna. Just double this, Rich, because I don't want to roll all this. Six, seven,

eight points, so 16 points of piercing damage. Okay. For Constitution, saving throws. Ooh! And then on Luffy, disadvantage, right? Disavantage until you hit me. Mess. Does an 18 hit?

No. Okay. Three. A 20? Yes. Okay. And now you're- So now it's regular.

Yes. So three, one, two, three. So three hit you total. And so I'm gonna roll damage real quick. You need three conscious of saving throws, seven, eight points of piercing damage to you. Lowe's is an 18. 18, you pass all of them.

You are able to resist that. Whoo. Lifty. And then on Felix, we have, you're just straight, right? Yeah, yeah. 19. Hits.

23. Hits. 24. Hits. A mess. Well, what is it? 13. That misses.

And then natural 20. 16, oh, that's fucking. No, it's not. Okay. Regular hits. Okay. So that is just three hits. Four regular hits.

Four regular hits. Okay. I need four cons saving throws right here. Okay. I forgot that you can do that. Six. I missed that. Is it's 14 too low?

Did I need a non-safeiting though? Okay, no. Oh yeah, you need to make three. Three, okay. Is 15, no, then I'm good. My lowest was a 14. Okay, you take. Six.

Nine points. You know, no, oh Jesus. Okay, so that one passed. Now you're fucked. You got double pregnant. Well, I can spend key points. No, you're pregnant.

For saving throws? Yeah. That was turn hits and misses. Nope. For saving throws. It might be my diamonds. I believe. I believe it.

Okay, so eight and five is 13. And would you say 14? 14 passed. When you're 14 past, I don't know what the DC is though. I'll bet you is 13. 13 fail. Well, actually, I can do it after I know that I fail. So 13 is the DC.

Okay, so this one passes. I'm gonna spend a key point to re-roll this one. Oh, I see what you're doing. And I pass that one. Okay. I misunderstand. I am a feature was. I apologize.

As you see these things, you are so grateful that so many of them had been killed. As you see the horrible droning and the danger of these things, they are swarming on top of you. With that, it is Toa's turn. You are unconscious, re-roll Constitution saving throw for it. Do you want you to spend to get you up?

I can get you out of danger if you don't get up, but like, we need you swing. And I have a plus nine. And I'm gonna do it at the start of your turn. Because you passed the last one. I don't know. Natural 20. Bingo.

You manage to get up. Because of the natural 20, you get up and you get your turn. Uh, oh my God! I leave up and let's say if Lifty's like there and I'm here. I think so. Oh my God. Don't get knocked up. I just be very overwhelmed. I will bonus action range.

Knock them out. Not them out. All sort of squads. walk down with my leg spread and my tattoos will glow as I just go in for a double attack to make it easy. Total attack. Recklessly, of course. Oh.

Obviously. I don't know what they see is. Let me see here. Oh shit, that's my bank act. There's all the right thing. That's very funny. Actions, yeah. That is a plus 12.

So it is 5 plus 12 is 17 net? That hits, yeah. OK. So two attacks, and then that's one, two, three, four. Rerall all three of these ones. Thank you. Feet. That's much better.

11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17. We're glad to be at the bottom of your legs. Jesus Christ. Um. You're a weird now. 22 plus 17 is. Proboscis in my butt hole. Ooh.

39 points of damage. To number one. Okay. Is it killing? It does not. No. Then let me just double check to see it when if you're... One didn't take too much damage.

It's not prog. It's not possible. That's my turn. It's looking rough as you smash, smash, smash. The, there's sickening crack as these horrible abomination demons. It is Iris's turn. I'm going to glow with a golden radiant light as I harness my divine power.

And as a bonus action, I'm gonna regain a third level spell slot. Okay, okay. Can you know that power I knew is from her. And as Iris's eyes glow, she's just all over glowing in general. It begins to swirl into sand as I cast an aura. I'm going to cast aura of vitality. on myself, so I take that spell slot away,

and now it's gone again. And it's an R around me for 30 feet. It lasts for a minute, and I can do something with it next turn. So that's my turn. What does it do? I can heal with it as above as action. Got it. You feel the warm sands that radiated around you

as Iris commands the power of Anubis. Lufthi, you're up. Can I ask a clarifying question? Yes. When I hold my action, so you said that I can only take one action on a held action? Basically, if you do a held action and then use your reaction, even if it's a multi-it, if you have multi-attack, it's just one of those multi-attacks when it's a reaction. So that's a trade-off.

So you don't get your full attack action. Okay, that's good to know. Are they still, are they, have they flown back up or are they still hovering down with that? They're all in your face. They're buzzing around you. Okay. If you're doing things, they're trying to smack up to the face? Yeah.

Yes, I am going to begin to spin the spoon. and just double attack on to six or nine, whichever one's in front of me, I can't tell. Okay. And then- Six is in front of you. Yes. So I'll make two spoon a time.

Oops. That should hit. 26 and 23. Yep, that hits. All right. That was terrible. Ufta. So that's nine and

here we go. Okay. Nine and 14 is what? Worcester, 70, 90 and 14 is 23. 23. Okay, so 23 damage to number six. Yeah, you smash, smash, and it's, carapace is cracking.

It's looking rough, but it's still alive. And then I'm going to follow that up with two, I'll take my elbows and jab into one and then kick it. With two on our Arnhem's, Flurred. You got, fell out. Nice. Yeah, 27 and 26. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. And where'd they go? So that's nine and twelve is... 30, 31. I can't math. 9 and 12. 21. 21. 12 points of damage? 21.

You in a smack, smack. You smash it and smash it. You snap one of its fly like wings off. And then you crash it. The three skulls crash and it collapses to the ground. Six is dead. Okay, with that is Carreese turn. Is any of them looking particularly weak?

It's dead? One is looking weak. Nine is a damage, four is mid, one is weak. One is weak. Okay, I will look at four, and I'll sing as I continue to strum and do what I do on my fiddle. Half is hard.

I knew a party that once, that wallops and flogged, I know fucking why they wallop those flies. Perhaps they'll die. They need to make a, I'm doing vicious mockery. Make a wisdom saving throw. Four. 16. That fails.

I will do six, eight points of psychic damage. And it has disadvantage on the next attack roll. On one? For the number four. Number four. Yep. Okay. I went for the one in the iris.

And I'll turn to Felix. Strengthen up, brother, just do whatever you can to make sure that you don't get inspiration. 1d12? Yeah, beautiful. Here's your inspiration. Yeah. With that, one, let's do a,

let's do this turn. The moment that these attacks him in and I'm getting punctured, and I don't feel like I've gotten any kind of, you know, permanent thing inside of me. I'll hold up the dagger and it will glow and as a bonus action I will blink 30 feet away as I cast Misty Step. 5.10. Okay. And as I land, I whip around snapping my fingers again, casting the cantrum firebolt as I launch

one at number one to save my friend. So I will roll a D20 to see if I hit this. Oh, that's a 19 plus 12. Is that a bazillion to hit, which is going to be 3D10. Oh wow. Fire damage. Four, eight, five. I believe as an optional rule, I can use inspiration to add to my damage.

Correct. Yes. I'm gonna finish that in. That's not optional, it's just the rule. That's how that works. So that's gonna be eight plus eight to 16 plus five is 21 points of fire damage to number one. They do not resist it. It blasts into it and you see that it hollows out a hole through.

very similar to what they do to their surroundings. It bores a hole to this bug and it collapses to the ground. I got you, Ta! Thanks, Felix! And with that, that's my turn. It's the start of their turn. And Iris, you feel something grow and explode inside of you. No!

A grub emerges from the end and starts to gnaw inside of you. You're going to take... I don't feel so well. Seven piercing damage. And I need to be a Constitutes and Saving Thone to see if it gets deeper into you. God. I don't feel so well.

This is a nightmare. Caprice. Yeah? I would really like to have a bowl of ice cream and some pickles. How about I just break your neck? Jesus. Fucking Christ.

What am I rolling constitution he said? Yeah. Proboscis misses. 15. 15. Oh, God. that succeeds. It does not get deeper.

And while it's in you, you have a disadvantage on attacks, ability checks, and saves until the end of until the next turn. OK. With that, however, it gets a 15 to hit you with the proboscis? No. 15. OK, miss it with the proboscis.

And now we have, I'm going to roll the disadvantage ones on Lifting until I hit. Miss. Oh, so now that they've been pregnant me, they can't. What? Can't get pregnant twice. You can't get double pregnant? I guess mine.

19? That hits. That hits. Okay. So now those are two. So I'm gonna roll four on lifting. That hits. That's gonna be a 20.

Does a 19 hit? Okay. So you're gonna take four cons, Amy throws. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. 10 points of piercing damage to you. Okay, I'm probably gonna rule that one.

Yeah, that's a 21 and 18. Yeah, you're going to point. Everything except for the one. Okay, so three passes, and I'm gonna spend a key point for my diamond soul, re-roll. Nice. We roll like a diamond.

Re-roll like a diamond. Natural one. This feels natural. 15. It's feeling good on a Wednesday. For Irish, for what? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 19 hits.

For what? For the Stinger. Oh, yeah, 19. 19, 19, 21. That hits? And 16. Misses. What was the damage?

10 points of piercing damage. And if you got under 13, every time you got under 13, you get into that. Yeah, I did the con, but I didn't take the damage. So then two attacks hit Iris of the Stinger. You took seven points and needed two con saving throws from.

Let's ain't got time for little babies. And those are at disadvantage. managed because of that egg. Con. Okay, so that fails. They both fell. Okay, you feel two more eggs enter you. And you can get pregnant twice.

This is so fucked. Holy shit, Iris. Why don't you know how to not get pregnant like Luffy? Just fucking avoid that shit. I feel full. I get it. You just got, you just got Pist and Gingitigit Ticcante.

All right, I'm gonna be sick. Tell me, you're up. I'm gonna cast fireball myself. Cross my words. I get to see me at myself. King's like. We're gonna get TOS tears. Yeah.

Iris! Cats have litters. That's exactly right, Niz. And I'm gonna take my totem and I'm just gonna smash them twice. Oh, I don't even hit me. I'm trying to avoid. And at all.

Yeah, instead of just killing Iris, I'm gonna like swipe it off of her. That's two attacks. Two attacks, those both hit. I'm hoping that this thing dies. Oh my God. Oh, nice, that's pretty good. I rewold both of these, fucking go.

That's a little better. 12, 30, 20, 15, 16, 18, 17, 17 plus 22 is what, 39. 3.9, yeah. Points of damage, number four. You smash it. You hammer and hammer and explodes into bits and pieces. As that same kind of, God. was in the squad.

Oh, come here. Because I killed it, I'm gonna walk up to this one, and as a bonus action, I'll do one more attack. Beautiful. Nine is undamaged. Got it. Well, I'm still gonna attack it. You know what? I didn't reckless those, but that's fine.

It's still bad. I reckless this one, and I probably miss. Surprising no. No. 15 AC. Do da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. I have a three. Then you're fine.

Okay, I'm good. Yes, I barely hit, holy shit. And then we'll do two of these fellers, and I re-roll the one. Still one, five, six, six plus 11 is 17 points of bludgeoning damage on nine. You smash into it and it cracks. And I'm gonna check for a Winfury prock.

Like I'm in fucking Warsaw Gulch in 2004. Let's go. Fail. That's exciting. A two. Fail. Well fail, look at the time. Okay.

You feel now two eggs and one burrowing grub is getting bigger. The year was too fast. I'm gonna use my bonus action to heal myself with my R of vitality. Okay. How does everyone else feel? Just take care of yourself.

You've got stuff, stuff inside you. I can feel it. Do you want me to end it? Engorge, kill me. I can polymorph the grub into a whale. Iris will look at you, her face sad. Kill me, Caprice. All right.

All right. And then I will. Caprice, don't you even think of it? I will also use a second level spell slot and cure wounds myself. Okay. And that'll be my turn. Rerol three Conterment saving throws.

As you have healed yourself, you are closing up your wounds and there's less room. But those are all a disadvantage because it hasn't been their turn yet. Correct. There's a grub inside of you. Yeah. You don't have to keep saying. There's a grip inside.

Get it all out now. I expect to never get this again. The first one fails with a natural one and natural three. Okay. And the second one will pass, I think, with a 19. Okay. You feel one of the eggs be dispelled by the magic. fell by the magic.

Oh, all right. You're okay? It's a little less tight. What? I think one of them popped. I hate it so much. I don't know. I'm so upset right.

Oh, look to ear up. Okay. I'm gonna, I can't believe you've done this to my friend. And I will viciously smack the one in front of me, making two spoon attacks down upon its mass. nastiness. Uh, uh, uh, 22 and a, yeah, and a cream. Gotta give it all.

Okay, I gotta give it up. Oh, bitch, you wanna check in the food. I've been checking. Oh, no. Yeah, it says eat, eat something. Eat, eat, eat. I don't remember they get here early. I know, but I've got to text.

Okay. Mama, where is my food? Don't know. I want my pizza. Yeah. Okay. Cause of my, yeah. Because of my.

I did not do it though. My son of my son of for the pizza that... Wait, do you double the critter? You roll twice as many days. Roll double the dice. Okay, so 10, 17 plus 12. Hold on, I can't do math when...

17 plus 12. Somebody just do it for me. 29, 29, okay, plus 7 plus 6. 13, plus 29? Yes. 30, 32, 32. 42. Okay, 42 damage.

That's seen a crowd. Two number, whatever one's left. It's looking rough as you hear the cracking of the carapace. It is oozing now. Stinger's getting ready to come back again. And I will spend a key point to make a flurry of blows. OK. It's looking enough.

Cha-cha. 23 and 17. Hits. Hits. OK, that's 16 plus 12. 28. Thank you. My brain is just non-functional today.

28. How do this? Oh, I want to, so after I've made my spoon attacks, I will just frustrated, drop my spoon on the ground and punch up and then punch my arm all the way through. It's like thick, nasty, thorax. Thorex, thank you, bug body. You do, and you smash it, explodes into viscera.

As you see, however, that there is still a grub, infecting iris. Well, like there's a grub and an egg. And an egg, exactly, right. And so we can still keep it around with anything that Felix wants to do. We'll keep initiative. As you annihilate this bug, it falls to pieces.

Can I do something? Oh, Capriza, yeah, you're up. Yeah, Caprice is first. Hey, are you okay? Can I help? It's okay. Look, and I move aside part of my robe, and there's like this egg orb there,

and it's just like pulsing. Look, horrible. It's a touch. Listen to my voice. Don't focus on it. God, your hands are so hairy and you're not even at a vaccine. They're not hairy. What?

How does that even happen? What? You know how it is. I only use mage hand for that. For a while you back to the camera, you should feel like, oh. You know what, I was gonna help you, and now I'll sing a sweet song.

I will lean in and hunker down. You're gonna get me triple. pregnant. No, they're not. No, they're not. Just listen to me. Okay? I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna strengthen you out. All right. She knows how precious life and death and life is. Sacred dogma written on papyrus. That's why I love my sister Iris. And I will cast enhanceability, giving you advantage on Constitution checks and gaining you 2D6 temporary hit points. Oh, thank you. I'll shave your palms for you, if you You like.

And they don't need shaving. This is just blood more shit. Now it's Felix's turn. I rush over to Iris. Dispel magic has a range of 120 feet, but for flavor, I get with a touch range. And I attempt to dispel these, much like I did the other bugs. I'm just adding my plus five, right?

That's right. That's right. This is at a level three if it matters. Okay. Just to you know. Felix, before you do this. Yeah? If they kill me.

Oh. No, not the bugs. Oh. Our friends. Of course. Flash imagine. We see if this works. Dirty 20.

Okay, yeah, exactly. Iris, what you feel is very uncomfortable. But eventually you hear as a dead grub and the egg kind of splurt. Another sloth lights the dust. And quiet. A splurt.

except for, rather, not quiet. The droning is still horrifically all around you. But you see now that there are these bugs in various states of incubation all throughout these pillars rising up. And you see kind of the, and all of the weird kind of flesh coating this stone hole into the ground is kind of shaking and rattling.

Oh, God. Now what? Where do we go from here? Aren't we sure they're all gone? No. There are gonna be more incest any second. Let's deal with that when we have to deal with that. Look around for a disembodied part of some sort. Everyone check a corner. I guess we could check this.

It's probably down in that gigantic pit. Yeah, there's a pit. It would be in the pit, wouldn't it? Yeah, this is the pits. The only way forward. I'll go to the edge and look over the side and see what I can see down there. I'll be right next to Liff's.

Is anyone wounded? I'm okay. Surprisingly all right. I'm really beat up, but I'm okay. Chawa, yes. Come sit with me for a while in this bloody goo. Oh, okay. I'll sit up, open, I'll come over here and sit here.

And I still have my aura of vitality, so I have five more charges of it, so I can heal as needed. How rough are you? I have, out of 181 hit points, I have 106. Okay. I need to be that guy, but we do have to know when eight hours passes. Yes.

Because we will lose maximum HP. That's right. I hate to be the homeowner guy. Oh, I think we're still good, too, but I'm just reminding you. Eventually, it will. I think you're still good. Be up. Three.

Oh, wow. 10. 10. And four. Four things. Thank you, artist. It's very pleasant. You're welcome.

It's the least I can do. And yes, to answer chat, that was Sabrina Carpenter. Thank you. Well, I don't know the meaning of the word. What do you guys see? Yeah, what do we see, Mike? Wow, look at this pit. I reference Home Alone 2, and I look down and I go, wow, what a hole.

I think I didn't get that reference. Uh, he's a perception. Yeah. I am, yeah, quite a 15. Oh, that's a good. You're looking too. Derry is still lucky. He's got tons of clothes.

And look. You got it. You look down, and you see that it's stone, that there's, this is the ruined chamber down beneath the earth. You see the wet walls of the swamp kind of sliding through, the cracks in the stone. These high pillars, these high pillars,

pillars growing up along, but you see that it goes down for probably about 50 feet and then continues deeper into darkness as you kind of see the pulsing and the shaking of these these hives. And are there any, it's just a straight fall, there's no like outcrop, like bloody outcrops? You would, I think there are definitely, yeah, there are stones rough. It's, it's earth, there's, you would be able to scale it down if you. Okay, that's what, yeah, that's what I'm getting at if I had to just jump trust fall into the pit early. Looks like that we might have to go down into the... Oh, my God, there's a bath, there's a bath. Oh, no, no.

Don't do that to me! Sorry, that was just, it's very scary. Anyways, it looks like we might have to go down in the pit. Yeah, I think we're going to have to. Basha, you agree, yeah? Before I jump into this fucking hole. Animal handling check in advantage. Batatu-a-chooie.

Batatooie me. Oh, motherfucker. Do you need help getting up? Yes, he's terrible. Let's go. Don't roll these. Roll the other one. Push back over to the darker one.

Bites you again. Damn it. With all this mention of Bado 2, said that I canceled Bato 3. That's very funny. I think it's alright. As all right as one can be when they were recently

triple pregnant. That's pretty traumatic. I hate to admit it, Felix. Don't say this anywhere where Lufty can hear. I wasn't even sure how one got pregnant. I will never let Lufty know that you told me that. I can't believe that that's how people have spawned. They get bugs in from the pits of this place?

When you're really unlucky, yeah. That's how you were born, Felix. That's what they say. It's awful. Sweet, sweet I'm not fun. We shouldn't think about it any longer. Lufty always said making babies was fun, but having babies wasn't. I don't see how any of this could be fun.

All of that checks out. Is that what she does when she sneaks out at night? I couldn't even begin to guess. We should join our friends at the edge of the forest. So many from Bosca. It's too many. It's just too many of them. Too many of them.

It's frightening and horrific. Ugh, cranky. Never tell her. What are you doing, Rich? What are you doing? I'm just trying to get it off camera. Oh. Oh.

Hey, please. Vichy boarding. Like, what are you doing? Third encounters the close kind. It's like, fucking making it a match potato mountain over here. That's good. We join our companions who have been

gazing off into the abyss. No pun. Whoa. And you see the fleshy pit? From what we can tell, there's a fleshy pit. And? We can see about 50 feet of disgustingness and unknown disgustingness beyond.

And I think we do need to go down now. I have a lot of respect. act for you and the things you've gone through it. Thank you. You're so strong. Oh, thank you. That's so nice. You're welcome.

Oh. Sweet girl. Oh, you. I love you. That's so nice. You're expected. It looks like we can plumb down there, you say. It's going to be fleshy, and it's going to be pitular.

But we can go down. What did you say? Pitular? He said pitular. I don't know. I don't know. Do they want to, though? I think we have to.

I suppose we could all make a suicide pact right now and just die. And then we wouldn't have to do any of this. I cast a ninth level spell mass disintegration. What somebody else deal on that? We can't be resurrected. Surely there's some other party that can be dealing with these problems. We're not uniquely doing this, right? And there's someone else in some other layer of the abyss being like, surely there's

someone else dealing with these problems and they're probably, you know what? They're probably the ones who aren't brave enough to go down there. They're the ones that are gonna fail. We're gonna succeed. Are you ready? Wait, are we killing yourself? No, forget what I just said. Let's fucking do this.

I'm ready to get into the fleshy pit. Me too, Caprice. You can smile at me. I'm with you, Tau. Let's do this. All right, Caprice. Does it look like we can just jump down? Climb.

We're gonna have to climb? We're gonna have to climb? I'm gonna jump down, not like in, but on the side and start climbing down if I can. I'll jump and slow fall to one of these outcroppings that I can see. I'll attempt to climb. I will cap climb.

Ew, so fleshy. It's gonna be fine. I won't just grab these large polyps. Ew. Oh! Wow. It's a very buggy. It's all buggy, like grub.

The anus returns. And the droning. You feel as you can make a scotering bugs kind of crawl up. and brush past your legs, and it is gittery, and it's awful. And the droning gets so bad as you're descending, I have everyone to give me a constitutes and saving.

I would be staying right below Felix. I want to chat says Gary's time share. She's. She's. Gary! For Lotterdale? What I'm shod. I'm crushing.

What is this? What is this? Oh, I'll come on 17. 20. Uh, 10. Uh, 22. Uh, 22. No. I swear.

You're the one who's rolling cold today. The 14. It's devastating. Oh, 14's enough. Oh, it is? Thank God. Oh, the broke shirt said, four Lauderdale. That's very funny.

That is so important. It's Toggin'Lotter-Dade. Gosh, I didn't have my readers all. You know what I've been? Oh, my God. Oh, man. What happens to Towa? Oh.

What nightmares? No, sorry, good. 13 isn't enough. I was thinking of another same. I got 14. And that fails. Yeah, yeah, because I've rolled a five three times now. Yeah.

Toa. There's going to be nothing left. It affects you. I can't wait. As you release your grip. Oh, shit. As you feel, you feel, you feel, And you fall and fall and fall.

I do not have slow fall. I have nothing. Tom Zimmer starts playing. How, can we see the bottom? No. As Jeremy Irons says, we can see about 50 feet down and then it's just blackness beyond. Do I have the ability to cast?

I have a plan. Nope, Mitch touch. I have slow fold. Do I feel like I can react fast enough to jump off after Toa? I think make an acrobatics check. Oh shit. And see how, I mean, you know,

you guys gotta drop. It'll be a low DC. I cast slow on Toa. It doesn't do anything other than extend the amount of time and fear that he has to experience. It will be peaceful. It will be peaceful. Acrobatics, you say?

Yeah. Ah, 17. Dread was a good movie. I basically like, like nose dive after him. The moment that I feel like I can grab onto him, I wait to see the bottom. And when I'm within 500 feet, I didn't mention Dorispo's both to the bottom of the pit.

Okay, it comes up relatively fast. You go down, it feels like 50, and then another 50. And then at about 200 feet down, you finally see these stone blocks as the buzzing is cacophonous now, and you immediately blink with Toa, pulling him, breaking your momentum, and landing safely.

Oh, God! Jesus. Ah! And I'm like, not slapping him hard, but I'm not slapping him hard, I'm like, you know, pat him on the face trying to like roused him. I'm a dog. Check for Caprice. My fragile psyche can't take this.

Are you climbing down? Yeah. There goes all my spells, lots. Oh no. Thank you, Felix. I'm keeping one silver bullet in my back pocket that I don't want to have to use. Yeah. I'm running low.

I'm running real low. This is rough. This is brutal. I'm going to. Shooks is a nap. Ticken him. You can see that I'm definitely like... Is that they look okay?

Yeah. But I'm like... Can I use that? I'm sweating and like I'm running out of... Have circles under your eyes. Yes. Okay. Are you acrobatically jumping down?

Yes. If I can acrobatically do it, it's 18. If it's not, then it's 10 and I would like to use a feature. So it's up to you. Whether it would be a strength or a... If you are scaling, that'll be athletics. Okay. If you're scaling.

I'm scaling. I mean, I'm just climbing down the wall. I'm a 10. which means that I'm going to use one of my Bartik inspirations to add a D12 to my own shiz. And I'm feeling very 16-erly. That is enough. As you feel your foot start to, and then you give yourself a little bit of a put-talk internally, and you meant to to scale yourself down.

Each of your handholds, there's something crawling underneath it. You feel that the buzz is, the droning is getting caught. Go to hell. And you finally shit. I don't get it away. I make my way down with that motivational tune in my mind. Go to hell, I don't get a shit. You descend and you all land,

and you see the tunnel going deeper into the earth. And it does not seem to go very far, though. As you can see that the walls are starting to close in. As you see this strange hive is grown all around, and it's all buzzing. There's tiny insects all over. over the place. I would be spending the entirety of this time

doing my best to wake up. Did you take damage? No, no, no. Once I reach the bottom, I'll race over. Felix is he out right? He's out again. He's out cold. I don't know what's going on. It's his place.

He just keeps passing out over and over. It's like the three or fourth time. I'm starting to worry that you might have anemia. Yeah. What? A blood levels, it's iron. He's passing out. Iron?

Anemia, did you say? Yeah. Did he, did he land on his knees when he fell? I don't think so. I think I timed the spell pretty well that we had a pretty soft landing. Oh, all right. What, what about his knees?

I don't know. Why, but why that specifically? Because Felix said he had anemia. Does anyone have a banana? Oh, that's very funny. A little potassium might help tell out. I don't have any bananas. All I have are these potassium supplements.

Shucks. I scattered them into the blood. I don't, I don't have a banana, I have the rotting corpse of one of those grubs that was inside. I don't think that's gonna help either. Are you sure they could be high in potassium? There's only one way to find it.

It certainly could be. I am certainly no grub neotrologist. All right. Open toe his mouth. Okay. No, I do not do that. I do not do any of him. Do you think I should heal him?

How does he look physically? I'm over half, for sure. I'm fine like physically. He's quite fine physically. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what to do about this. I think he's mentally unweb.

It's this place. It's this, it's just, this, this plane. This is, it's affecting us. I'm deeply. We have a low constitution today for some reason. Where's Lifty? She's right here. She's still like Mary Pottons.

Yeah. Yeah. I think it's because I watched the ring. Last nine, I watched a little shaken stick. You watched the what? The ring. I guess we waited until until, like, wait, so it was it ten minutes, you said? Ten minutes.

We would just converse amongst ourselves, and, like, I guess, like, I'd still be trying to wake him up, but, like, there's not a good to speed up the process. I would harness more divine power and give myself another third level spell in that time. That's it. Okay. You all wait until a 10 minutes later, you were just climbing and suddenly feel yourself falling. It's like when you're laying in bed and you're suddenly dropped and so when you wake up, you feel like you're falling. Hey! Hey! Oh, you're okay. You're all right. You're all right. Yes. Maybe we should get you some like earplugs or something. How do your knees feel? Oh, my knees are okay, I think. Oh, good.

I stand up and like my leg is like this. Oh. Oh, no. You look like a flamingo. Oh, that's the wrong way. Where'd the puck go? Oh. Oh, I found out.

Oh, it's on the back side. Oh. Oh, geez. I hate the session so much. I'm so uncomfortable. Oh, God. Me. Are we hit?

Me. Oh. Me. Me. Me. Me. That's very. I hate us. That's great.

That's great. We have to continue. We can't stay here. All right, so. We must continue down the... No, no. That's brilliant. Why didn't I think of that?

I can develop an immunity to this. I just stick my fingers with my ears. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You're at the bottom now. We're on stone, and what do we see around us? Did you already say that? Make a reception check at advantage. Oh, okay.

All right. I don't think I have a perception. I think it's like a 12. It's like I opened my eyes, but not that far. You look down and it feels like the tunnel is getting narrower, it is not long to reach the end of this chamber. Okay. Presumably we don't see any like eyeballs or anything floating around.

Okay. Let's keep going. I don't want to be in here any longer than I have to be. have to be. Yes, the sooner we can leave, the better. You make your way deeper, and the buzzing is so cacophonous, but you've been around it so much. You're finally starting to get some sort of resistance to it. As you make your way deeper and deeper, and finally,

in the darkest depths, the stone, the leaking blood water oozing up through the stone, through the wet earth, as it's dripping down on you, these skittering insects all around you as you just feel like there's something crawling on you at all times. And finally, you see a head this strained pocket mark eye ends and wraps around, and you see an enormous pockmark at the end that is larger than even General Furman had been.

He transformed into the battle. Jeez. As you approach, you see something stir with him. And suddenly, massive millipede-like legs emerge from this huge hole, as you see what looks like almost a humanoid skull atop a millipede with two humanoid skulls underneath it. As this massive abomination skidders out,

and you see at the end, It has three bulb-like scorpion stingers at the end of its millipede. And from its mouth, a large, almost is a combination of an esophagus, and at the end is a massive blade-like needle from it as it looks at you with two glowing pits of eyes in the humanoid skull, as it, as you hear a horrible, chittering voice,

call out a horrific language that only Felix and Caprice can understand. And deep here. I can understand it too. What? No way. Yeah.

I have tongue of the sun and moon. I understand all spoken languages and any creatures that can understand a language can understand what I said. I had to study from 400 years to be able to learn that and you just like, oh yes,

you have to know this. Also, she's been holding her breath this entire time. It's crazy. That's wild. The monks are fucked up. Okay, well, all right, welcome to the party. I also don't need to eat. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Someday it should stop getting old. That's right. But not the day. And you see beside a handful of pot marks in the walls beside, and you see hanging out these small humanoid leg of what looks like a red leg. What did it say? You can check off the leg.

Oh, we don't have it yet. I check it once we've acquired it. Make a circle for the check mark. Oh, okay. We found the leg. in this horrible, shudering voice. And it says, who say true, king of demons.

You see, after this, uh, chittering voice comes out reverberating, uh, the whole millipede like body shakes as, uh, as do these stingers. as they clatter against the strange hive-like structure built into the wall, as it just stares at you, waiting.

And you see that its tail was slowly moving, almost poised to strike, but it seems curious. I'll leave him, Caprice real low as an aside, and in comment, I'll say, you gotta talk to it. Don't say his name. And we gotta make it mad at the other guy. Yeah, everybody, this is the big guy. This is corn on the. Just don't say anything.

Don't, no, don't. What did you say? Just let him do his thing. Cornanza. I'm sorry, who's cornontha? Let's see his, don't say it. Don't say his name. Oh, is this something out of three times

when he summon it kind of thing? You never know. Just chucking. And you see that the eyes of the primary skull of Albox Ob, is staring directly at you, Caprice. And there's a...

Make an inside check, actually. Oh, boy. Thanks for playing the game, Derek. We'll see you in the next campaign. You don't know. You don't know. He knows you, and he knows your soul is marked and owned. With the three heads, he's going to bite him.

32. You see that there is a sense of quizzical. Physicalness and recognition. Ooh. For sure. I will walk forward. And I will... You die instantly.

As I am approaching, I'm going to very subtly sort of whistle the tune that I used to pump myself. And I will cast glitness on myself in doing. Isn't that an incredibly hard level? Yes.

Yes. In abyssal, I will look up to the demon prince. Greetings. Myself, Capricio de Cesto, I don't know if you've heard of me. You can call me Caprice. And my companions seek the leg that you are holding. And we are willing to negotiate. How are you, sir?

And I'll bow. Thank you, for you for you. However fucking glimness works. You get advantage? Or is it just a... It's a three, but because of glibness, I get to treat it like a 15. It's actually insane.

It's actually insane. A persuasion you say, 31. The longest thinking rules is a 31. That's incredible. Amazing. Unless it just like doesn't work on demons. As you hear that, as the dozens of legs,

a skitter around the ground. And in a shockingly swift motion for how enormous this being is, its skull is directly in front of you. Anachronistically, rather out of character, it's identical to the Coe the Face. I was about to save Co. I love Co.

Coe is my fucking favorite. It is identical to Coe the face steeler as he leans in this massive skull that's three, four, five times the size of your own. That's horrifying. As the tongue that is this tubular, esophageal-like tongue, kind of slithers around mere inches from your person.

And you hear, once again, those words in abyssal, or rather that language in epistle. And he says, And there's a bit of a... There's a... If a centipede could laugh. You feel like she begins to go pale a little. Oh. They said,

Wrong. No, nothing, nothing at all. In fact, everything is very right. For the way things are going, we may be able to turn the tide if we work together. Also, can I interest you in an altoy? Make a session check. And just there, he said,

13, so it's the 31. And I'm just imitating the noises that I hear. Oh, yeah, of course. The oblocks of, or perhaps its avatar of such, you get the sense that it's an incubating chamber. There's kind of like pus oozing out of the side of it, and he's kind of dripping off of his caribus. And the skull gets closer, looming over you.

You see Caprice absolutely dwarfed as there's a moment of a pause. I'm not to do you so cheers. We are assembling the pieces of the creature whose leg you possess. And we are rallying, rallying to take down the king or the king to be. We just need you to wait. for our signal with that leg. Oh, there is much power

we could both possess. Make your decision. We won with a natural one. That's insane. That that is the last. It lasts for a at least three hours. It lasts for

a fucking hour, no concentration, and it's so good. That's why it's my only eighth level spell slot right now. Yeah, that's insane. Oesophageal obereth lord, kind of is near inches from you. It's like it's sensing you. He says, you are looking.

I think you know that there were others who would challenge that claim to try to usurp your kingliness. No, no, no, no, no. You're misunderstanding me. I'm saying bide, bide, bide, bide. I'm here to just take, if you will be kind enough, to grant the leg to myself and my four servants, that we would be able to rally our power, and then together take down all those who oppose us. Together, we would be a strong combo.

Enough of the leg! And immediately, the stingers ripped the leg out of the hole that it is. is in and it scatters across the room and falls at your feet. That means nothing. A drink it to you, given your many powers. But for me, an opportunity for me to match and join. And a command. Oh, yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He disgusts me. As it skitters back away. And it slinks towards. towards its, uh, towards the, uh, the incubation pod, so to speak. As it speaks out again in abyssal. Um, to the blood shallow. Slank of a ch.

If, uh, you can understand, the value to me is more than you know. Very soon, there will be a sign. You will know it when, one that, you might call the angel of four wings. If he should fall, the opportunities would make themselves obvious. I give him a little wink. Yeah.

Make a Christmas saving throw. It is a thing. Oh, do you supply of saving throws? No. Disadvantage you say? Okay, okay, okay. Dirty 20 with a nine. Probably not enough.

But I feel good about it. You should. You should feel good about that. Step back, and you begin to speak. And you do. But a different voice emerges from your mouth. The nature of my deal that my vessel proposes

is the same and more. You are. You see, who's eyes now are glows. blowing pure white. Wow. Is this all still in abyssal? Yes. This is so...

And... Caprice is speaking, and he's standing completely rigidly and not moving whatsoever besides his jaw. Do I, given that I've seen Asmodeus in the flesh, and I've heard what his voice sounds like... I can tell that it's his voice speaking in Abyssal. Yes. Oh! I still just do that. What did they say?

Oh, one. Hum. Grums. Crum. Grum. Grum. The only one here that doesn't speak a pistol. I mean, they're just speaking.

I was repeating it. Yeah, basically, you just need to know that shit is going down. The bargain. Once the Oberitz descend upon Hazzuzoo, you lay in when Do not emerge through your portal and win. The queen raises her trident against her king. They will all be destroyed.

And you will all, you will be all that remains. You continue the blood war, I continue the blood war, peace never to be acquired. Annihilation, never to be acquired. salt and do not cross me or what will befall the fallen angel of the four winds will befall you tenfold Capric's I need to make a persuasion check of advantage well done Caprice oh wow good job Derek holy shit that was a brutal shit dude how'd you come up with all that on the spot yeah yeah 35

John 19? Yeah. You see as the avatar of Albox, ob, kind of snakes back and forth a little bit and returns as the Lord of Lies speaks through you. Then he says, I trust in my servants, they can be more persuasive than you might think.

I know there is nothing you want more than you want more and the death and destruction and humiliation of the queen. Depose her and you shall be a king once more what was robbed of you by the wolf spider. And then by the flock will be yours once again and we shall maintain balance and feast upon an endless flood, a torrent, a dilute of souls. Give him to an advantage for Greece.

God, Derek, you're on fire. I know, unreal. 29 this time. Oh, I'm sorry, that's a 15. I'm sorry, that's a 15. I can't get lower than 31. 31. Wow.

Well done. Gotta give it. Unbelievable. Really. What is there that I do not know? If your vessel will deliver the case of death have an agreement. Does your vessel?

There's a pause and you feel like you can speak Have I been with the scene? Am I following the plot? What? I'm sorry, what? I mean, thanks for giving us a leg up, buddy. You accept the... Yes, just take the altoyne, please. You don't have time to react as the belated tongue of Obok's Ob, whips around and pierces Caprice in the abdomen. And you see a thickening, a sickening tear. I would immediately hold up my hand

so that they like know, like, I understand what's happening, and I'm like, it's okay, it's okay. Oh, okay, got it, got it. Oh, is it okay? There's no way we intervene here. Absolutely, no way. I would stop, try to stop with all my- lices into your abdomen, and you feel wriggling.

And... and drop the leg. Suddenly realize that the wound has closed behind you. The entire length of that seems to have burrowed inside of you. You feel it wriggling. As the avatar ob-box ob... Skitters away. He skitters back as he goes back into the potty.

He's here like... As the strange pulsing, pulsing a hive, the opening conceals around him and begins to pulse. Are you okay? What happened? Why would you stop us from protecting him from that? Using my superhuman intelligence, I recalled the conversation board for word and tell him everything that's happened. Whoa.

It's crazy. I don't think anything. I've done, any of you. It's so hard. You won't care that all of you speak abyssal. I don't know. Does it speak abyssal? What are you talking about?

He was trying to translate for me. He was just doing it in abyssal. He was just kind of gargling and spitting all over the place. He sounded exactly like him, though. Yeah, the inflection was wrong, the grammar was all over the place. Really? Words weren't even the right words.

Some of them was just gibberic. I need to work on what dialect thing? We'll work on it. All right. If Caprice can teach me, I can teach you. I thought it was really good to us. Guys, I think I'm quadruple pregnant. I don't really know how to go about this.

But I guess you don't have it. Any idea what this person who looks over you and speaks through you was talking about? I mean, is this the first you're hearing of any of this? Well, I mean, this is the first I'm hearing about any of this. But it makes sense that he must look through my eyes. He's perhaps more benevolent than the bitch that own my soul and my family's souls, but I'm still not free. How do you even deliver this, this thing? Hey, when we find whoever we're looking for.

Do you have a proboscis you can stick in someone and spill that thing out into them? Yes, and I'm also quadruple pregnant. That's what I'm talking about, the thing we're pregnant with. How are you going to inject it into this queen? The only way for me to save all of us is for me to lose my virginity. We're not going to go there, please.

It's the ultimate barred trope. Guys. Are you with virgin? The last 24 hours has been really weird. This has become a coming of age story. Please. So am I. Oh, yeah.

No, I knew that. How did you know that? We had this conversation. Did you lose this memory in the forgotten voice? No, I might have been... Was I drunk at the time? I don't think so. We were eating sandwiches.

They are so good. We haven't had sandwiches in a long time. Does that mean you can see when you're pooping? Discussing. He knows when I'm sleeping. He knows when I'm awake. That's fine. But when you're pooping?

He knows when I'm pooping. It's okay, too. He knows what I'm doing weird shit, telling. And he says, wash your hands. He's worried. It's a natural body thing, Tom. Yeah, everybody poops. Thank you.

Here, Toa, I think you need this. And I pull that up a pyrus of everybody poops. Oh. Everybody poof. You should read this sometime. Ask Felix to read it to you. It's an ancient succession. I'm sure he knows the language.

Wolf, do you make an hand one hand check of the advantage? Actually, this one white is what I hate. What I hate it? She's about to get bat, too. Oh, finally. 21. 21.

Oh, by that. I forgot he was in my head. Suddenly, suddenly you see Luffy immediately turn and as swiftly, she starts running away from the chamber. Those legs are not her own. There she goes.

All right, we die. Come on, we keep talking about this. Let's let's let's do. Follow Lutti. Okay. Did you make sure I said leg up? That was pretty funny. Come on!

No! And then I follow. We race after her. Lofty, you feel compelled to basically scale this this climb back. And after your experience, being in the presence. I don't have to scale it. I can just run right off the wall.

You run off the wall. And you feel this and the only experience, it's almost like you don't hear it. Hearing the voice. of Ob-Ox-Obb has seemingly made you feel completely at peace with this droning, as you are guided towards a small hollow and a chamber where none of the hive has crept in and it's completely sealed off, and it's completely pitch black

as you wait for your friends? I guess I'll begin to climb and fall six or seven times. Here we go. I start climbing. Athletics check-tube and I'll probably go unconscious again. No, you're good. Hopefully we don't hear any of this anymore, right? None of us hear the droning?

Yeah, you all hear it, but it's not nearly as, we're all good. Yes. Oh, wow. Well, I was due for a bad roll I got out of six for athletics. I fall. Owl. You fall 20 feet. You do. I'll say you're 10 feet up, you take 10 points of bloodsing damage.

All right, I start climbing again. 12? What, 12? Oh, no, he full two. You get 30 feet out. I got an eight. But you got a six, why do I get more damage? I fell off a lot, I fall harder.

You got a firm. You got a firm. You got a firm. Right, so now I got an eight. Rolling higher. Nine. I get an eight. Okay.

Two points of legend you damage. Okay. Felix. No, no, I can do this. Okay. Six points of legending. I got a four. Ow!

I hope my tentacle baby's okay. I'm twisting my ankle. Oh, you, I can't do this. I got this, I got this. Is this how to place? Natural 20. Let's fucking go. This is how we lose, Felix. Oh, my knee.

I'm twisted my knee. I get up 10 feet and I grab two polyps and then I stretch them back. And then I watch myself up on top of a pit. Have a fucking yard. I got an 11. You didn't roll damage for his last four, by the way. No, no, he told me. Yeah, look.

I'm taking it. Love is not enough. Oh my God. It's eight points of legending. My ass. You okay? Falling and falling and falling. I laid it on my coxics.

Felix, just grab two polyps and stretch them out and whip yourself up here. How far? He's back like 10, 15 feet. As soon as you think they're about to snap, just launch yourself. You're either going to smack it to the wall or you're going to make it up here.

Oh, God. A 19! You slingshot paws work. You slingshot paw up your way. Oh, God. It's a kind of a kite and this bug thing than actually fall up. But you manage it on your footing.

You sick your hands in. And you're like, you know what? No, no, Mikey. It's very long. I make it up, finally. Yeah. Are you up here? Oh, yes, I was up here right at the...

Oh, Jesus. Yeah. I'm a kitty. I have claws. Oh, that must be very handy. Oh, yes, it was. I enjoyed washing you four on your ass. It hurt.

Felix, I think we ought to do some sort of like, I don't know, I don't know what, like, athletic training for you. Yeah, well. I mean like, like, stair master. We are worried about this when it's all over. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm just, you're just, I'm just a little tired.

I could have just carried you. No, no, I'm tired of. I'm sure somebody had rope. You just have to ask you. I'm relying on everybody else. I can do it. Okay, I made it. You've pulled up beneath your fingernails.

Yeah. Gross. Oh yeah. Ew. With that, you feel a weight, leave your head. And immediately, as Escher is standing in the darkness, keep you in eye out to make sure that there are no bug staying vigilant.

And he immediately goes over. Are you, Caprice? Yes, thank you, thank you. You are a butcher. And he draws with his finger again a portal, and he throws in the leg. Oh, it was just one leg. Am I asking, where's that portal going?

Is this the right leg? Oh, arms. It was a safe pocket dimension. Oh. Arms. Well, she can hopefully be made home once we have everything. You have a safe pocket dimension for her?

I am a master of portals now. It's the last. And we had to spend our time in the Forgetty, uh, void. Couldn't we have all spent time in there? We could go there now, right? Relax. Get some R&D, R&D, R&P, P, V.

R and R and R. R and R. God. Not if you need to breathe. Animated, everyone would have said R&R and I. All right. It's more of a case. That's fair.

That's fair, that's fair, just asking. So just Lutee. Yeah. What? I only did to breathe. Me too. To survive. Well, so what?

That was easy. We just had to do it 11 more times. I don't think I got 11 more of those in me. No, no, not 11 more times. 10 more times. Yeah, sorry, 10. We have the head and a leg. That's right.

We all, we have these shoulders and toes. Silly me. The other layers of the abyss should be. less oppressive. I hope so. Obok's Arb has been regaining his strength for many millennia. The other Oberoth lords were

beaten back as brutally as a riggs. The Brits of Vermin, he seemed tough. He was the prince of demons before the wolf spider. Oh. What is he... Wait, was he gonna be king? That was the plan. Certainly thought so.

He was spurned by the Queen of Wales. Cast him out to make Miska the prince. He must be very upset. Could you not? Do you speak abyss?

No, no. I just like the way it sounds. It really rolls out of the tongue. It's a beautiful language. The others should hopefully be easier. Was the other place is going to be as disgusting is this one? Most of them, shockingly not. Well, what's the next one?

They go to Angeline, her domain of Pale Night. Angina, what? As he draws his rapier and carves a circle. And immediately you see it. glow white ice balloon as it opens a cold blast hits here as extra steps into the portal. And what is this place called again? Andrelin. Andrelin.

A, N-D-R-O-L-Y-N-N. Oh, you lost me. L-Y-N. Cool. Annieland? Oh, androl. Close enough. Yeah, I was really good.

That's weird. That's weird. Too old? Oh, yeah, absolutely. You follow and immediately, you are in the middle of miles and miles and miles of snow, as far as you can see. The cold is absolutely bitter,

as the wind is howling and snow is pelting your face. You see incredible great mountain tops disappear into snow veils all around you. You see great buildings and structures in various states of ruin that seem to have been damaged by wars for perhaps thousands or tens or hundreds of thousands of years

as you see great, these ruined fortresses made from boats. And you now, you now, are all in, basically knee deep in snow. As Asher holds up his cape around his head to kind of block the wind, and he says, okay, I think my little bass years are here.

Oh, just like both of them kind of stepping around? I don't know the state that are in Toa. Oh, yeah. It's kind of weird. You sort of picture a head floating around or a leg lying there, but like two years, it sort of... It was a valid question.

Thanks, Felix. I'll look around. So do we see anything in the landscape, any like high points, low points, anything in the snow? Yeah. You see a... Topography. Topography.

Once again, in... Similar to the blood shallows. This is not nearly a... as massive as the ruins of the castle. But you do see, although there are some ruined towers, ruined walls, some are still standing, you see a castle made of bone itself. Any castle.

It's a large looming citadel that spires upwards, basically rows of enormous, they could perhaps see giant bones or bones of enormous creatures as they stacked on top of each other, rising into the sky as there are, across the lights, across the snowbound land, you see strange, brilliant curtains of light that a shimmer in all manner of pale colors

as they dance back and forth and they are absolutely hypnotizing. I think I still got like, I don't know, 30, 40 minutes left? Uh, my extremely charming demeanor. What do you guys think? Can we make it there at time? I can still maybe use this on pale night.

Who is tail night? What is their deal? She was once a physical form. Now she's little more than a sheet in the wind. She very likely will only be able to barely communicate. Oh. Does that mean we're also not under like immediate danger? I should still not be seen in this form

lest we arouse suspicions and if she is truly deeply allied with my master and we want to prevent her from looting him. That's a good point. If we reveal our hands, so it speak, then we can spring the trap too early. It wouldn't be effective unless it all happens at once, right?

Yeah. Oh, yes. We want to, empower them. We want to, as we've seen from Alex Arniz, and we've seen from Arieks, that these oberiths are no better than petty lords, squabbling, grasping for power. We grant them a shred of it in their domain to make them ready to stab Pizzou in the back. All right. They will be more than willing.

Especially if we persuade the Queen of Chaos. Well, we have at least one tool. Do you know what your patron meant? Uh, that's my daddy, no. By persuading the Queen of Chaos. I don't know what he meant. I know what memory we all share. I'm not the smartest person in the whole universe,

but you can see in the eyes. eyes of B-man. You can see the treachery there. There is a way we could share that. Put that into the mind of the queen. Maybe she would finally understand what is the whole deal is all about. What I know, but it is from the perspective of Pizunia. If she is to be convinced, it will not be without a fight. She will need to be beaten into submission. Do you have any idea what the fuck happened to me down there?

I know I am the foul demon a creature, but the parasite you have inside of you, I have no fucking idea. That makes me feel just the best. Did he say you were going to survive it? You didn't mention that.

Oh, let me switch the music. But let's be, let's think about this logically. I don't think... Caprice's patron would let that happen. I hope not. They talk about war constantly, right? It's this weird, kind of bizarre version of their own balance. No side is ever really going to win.

At least that's where I was gathering from the conversation. You talked about balance. And Caprice pays an important part in all of this. Whoever that being is is not going to just let him die. Not to the hands of a demon. Oh, and if... Man wins. And he ends everything or whatever.

He wins the war and there's no more war. No more balance. So that means that your patron is, he's on our side. He's on his side. I just think that we happen to be useful. And maybe we just got lucky and chose the right team. Well, we'll see what happens. You should give it a name.

Ah. Yeah? Well, yeah, I think it would make it a little more. pleasant. How about Greg? Yes, and then you really can be Gregnant. Exactly. It all comes full circle.

The cycle of life is beautiful. All right, well, you can't be seen. Is there anything else we should know before we go bonecastle-l-up? The known as Pale Night loves. and gains power from taking prisons and sacrificing them. Oh.

You may need to assist in order to release whatever, to release the ears of my daughter. Is she a demon princess? Is that the, is that right? She's a demon lady. A demon lady. An oberth. Right.

Okay. Does she have like a word, like a theme, like vermin or? What was a, what was Rakes? It was memory, memories, I think. Yeah, forgetfulness. The Prince of Vermin, she is the white lady. A white lady. So she's all about cold?

And there's no like, don't say your name or lift up the sheet or any of the minerals. She may. I would not survive trying to lift up the sheet. All right. She literally like a ghost sheet. Did I miss that? We don't know. That's just like that.

That's just caprice. Cool. We just be goofy, we don't know if we don't know. But now I'm getting the feeling that there might be some sort of parallel. Okay, okay, okay. And I'm sorry, did we get another name while I was? Pale.

Pale night? Pale lady. White lady. White lady. Nothing in us. We're in Andraline. Andrelin, right, okay. There's a bone castle.

Sacrifices. Sacrifices, prisoners. Oh yeah, sacrifices are prisoners. Give her power. This used to be a place of beautiful dense vegetation and she had a garden. Oh. And after the crushing defeat, it froze over,

killing all plant life, all life that was here. So it's very strong. She must be so lonely. Perhaps that's why she keeps a prisoner. Let's go kill some prisoners. We're not gonna necessarily kill anyone. We just said we have to, and at this point, let's just help. Yeah, we just hate to.

Pager, thank you for your guidance. Let's go kill them, prison. You know what to do? Batter up. He flies and he batter to his. Bidittittoo. And you see a lot of you. And you see a large bone castle, and there's a bunch of snow.

Are you ready to go to the bone castle? Yeah. Are you ready to go to the bone castle? I'm cold. I'm 40% cold. You might be warmer in the bone castle. I feel fine. There is a lot of snow.

You look really warm. Oh, there is a lot of snow, huh? There's lots of snows what I just said. Not the giggle. Felix, can you do something to keep us all warm? You're like 90% fire. Yeah, maybe. And I go through my things,

and I don't know if I have any kind of like torture game. Probably don't think this was like three years ago. I can create fire, small amounts of fire. Control flame? No, I don't have that actual cantro. Yeah. know, probably not enough to keep a super warm. Iris?

Yeah, have some of this. What is this? You don't keep you warm, I promise. Do I drink all of it? Not as much as you want. This is awful. Absolutely terrible. Yeah, but how do your facial?

I'm starting to like it a little. It's never going to stop. It never will. I'm done. I can't take it anymore. Felix. Cheeky, what you're doing casting mirror image? Take your decanter.

I don't have an event. You can you give all four of you fire and just walk around me and keep me warm? Okay, and I will just hold my finger up to create some light basically from, but it's not really enough to keep us warm. And I would try to light the way as we go, you know, holding my finger up.

Thank you, darling. Darling, and darling and darling. I just like look at Tella like, I'm like, hmm, hmm, all right. You see above you as the flame that Phyllis keeps, keeps you warm, as you see the strange hypnotizing sheets of the curtains of light above you. It's like an aurora?

And it's like an aurora. But like pale? Yes, they're very, like, pastels. It is not like the neon. It's very... Castles. There's almost no color at all. It looks nearly white,

but you can see the very strict hints of color where there perhaps had once been great color here in the garden that is long since frozen over. As you see the snow banks arise up, and it is absolutely frigid, and you trudged through the snow, and it takes you shockingly a lot longer than you were expecting. Even, you know, with providing the time

to make a track in a very snowbound land. And I need everyone to make one Constitution check on the journey there to see if you get exhausted from us. Oh, I'm getting close. If we have cold resistance, do we need to make the play? Uh-oh. You can make an advantage. I will make it an advantage.

If I am, what a bit of this? Homeboys. Toilet. I think I'm okay. Ohio Ridge. If I'm mountain born, yeah, you're at a edge. Okay. Does a 15 pass.

That's great. Oh, then I'm good, I got a 17. My roll can drink. Oops, I had a 21. 26. You all resist the cold as you trudge and trudge as you go higher into this mountain top where this castle sits veiled in snow

and the sheet with a sheet of the curate of the aurora rising and the snow falling down, it almost looks as the castle itself is wearing a pale veil. As each of the mountain tops, it looks like they're wearing a white veil. As you make your way to the top, as you find not ruined by war, not destroyed, but just an empty, nearly abandoned fortress of bone,

As you stand before gates that are left open, the snow banks piled up high on either side of the door into the castle. As these sheets are now directly above you, their color is absolutely enchanting. I had a wisdom saving of him. Oh, this is where I fail. This is where I'm too.

Oh no, wisdom's good too. Never mind, I'm a liar. It's strength decks and cha that I suck at. Chah. Wisdom, there's no one. Killed it. 16? 23. Has it been 10 minutes?

It's like a inspiration. Yeah. I just repeat that it's been like 30 minutes into my glibnus. You're getting destroyed here, bro. This is not your day. Does 16 pass? You're gonna come alive, right? Everywhere it matters, don't worry. Oh, I am going to spend a keypoint and re-roll. What didn't pass?

16. I'm good with a 23. I got a 24. Well, that didn't pass either. I fail. I fail. How faily did we feel? Everyone fail?

If everyone fail him? We've got at least two. Two passes. Two passes you fail. So I have an able to natural. There's still a chance that I could fail if I use my part of inspiration. So you know what? I'm just going to fail.

I just feel fit. You three go cuckoo bananas and run off into the snow. We're not going to be a little. She's drunk. She's drunk. Unfrey. Do you see the lights? Yeah.

Nice, seasons are beautiful. I got a 14. I did. You all see the beautiful colors. Wow. You feel a sense of admiration for the white lady. Pale night. You want to be her prisoner.

Uh-oh. You immediately see the three of them start just walking in a train. If you're not sprinting, you're kind of just walking slowly forward. As you see now, as your eyes adjust to the large castle antechamber, you see that there are numerous cages hanging from the ceiling, chains along the wall. This looks like every inch of this castle is a prison. You see skeletal remains of all manner of creatures from Celestrals, humanoid, fe, demons, and devils.

as they are, as you feel compelled to get yourself into a cage. So I'm just like, help myself? Yeah, you're just like, find something. It's just one of those days. Yeah, how far are we in these cages? I would say probably 50s into the castle. This looks nice.

So you basically see all three of them wander. Do you want to share one or should be each to get out of home? Let's share one. Hey, where are you going? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?

I'm just gone to. I need to be in here. Why are you ignoring us? Guys, what's going on? Look at the pretty colors. Look at the, look at the guy. Don't you see that we need to be here? Don't you want to lift up the sheet, bro?

Come on. I mean, it's beautiful, but we need to get inside the castle. We're going to get inside of the castle via this cage. All we have to do is get inside here and wait. We'll stay here. We'll always be here. It's part of the plan. It is written.

Oh, did Asimodeus or whatever's name is speak to you a little bit? Yes. I don't believe you. With a 31 at least. I believe you. I don't know, let me know when an hour has gone by. Oh, no, that was a whole, like, walk, right? Glybeth faded.

Yeah. So. I don't believe it. Are there colors? Is it like, what? Yes. With a 26. We're just not, like, in trans-bid. Outside, when you were looking at the castle,

the aurora was directly above you. And then you walk past the aurora. And you still see kind of that hypnotic aurora in your eyes. As you walk forward. And what I'll say is you see Escher as a bat, like, with his wing tips, like hanging down in front of your face, like trying to grab onto and trying to bat at two of you, and it is not working.

Yeah. How cute you want to play. Do I get the impression that something is wrong? They're absolute charmed. It is not at all hearts. Oh. The moment that I can't be charmed. Oh.

The moment that I- Vibe in them. The moment that I realized this, I would essentially use Presta Digitation with the flame on my finger. Yeah. An attempt to burn Toa, like, in his wrists. Yeah.

Like, you know, somewhere would hurt. Not enough to, like, cause damage, but to, like, try to shock him and, like, you know, wake him up. I think if he takes at least one fire damage, he can rerone. Mike, I have a question. So I have stillness, stillness of mind.

I can use an action to end either charmed or frightened on myself, but if I'm charmed, would I think to do that? I think if you have a mind that is powerful enough to still it, you would then, like, you're like in your mind prison, you're able to get out of it, right? I would say you would be able to do that. Felix, get in the cage.

So I would, after getting in the cage, I would maybe sit there a minute and be like, what am I doing and then get myself back out? Okay. You mean, did you not see the colors? I don't have a mechanical way to do less than 3D 10 fire damage to him. Like, just trying to burn him slightly.

You know what I mean? I'm just trying to burn him slightly. So take one thing here. And I would like, like, under your, like, receive me this where it wouldn't feel good, I'd be like, to see if. to see if I can, like, jog as, like, knock him out of whatever's going on here.

I'm really sorry. I do one point of fire damage. I failed. Don't you see, Felix? Did you see the colors? I mean, I was written. She is the Lisa Ophraibh. Lisa Ophregeen.

Okay, we roll. I saw the colors tour. It's beautiful. It was, but we can't listen to her. She is the chosen one. I'm in the cage. I'm blocking myself. Okay. I'm gonna get to another door. No, no, no, no.

I reach forward as soon as you close the door and start to hold it, I'm gonna reach through and I'm gonna thieves tool lock the actual wall. I'm gonna engage the mechanism. We're in. It's done. You guys gotta go find your own cage. This is Toa and our cage. You can't come in. You had your chance, everybody. She is the rider of the bone dragon.

She's the queen that was promised. It was promised, Felix. Are you sure you don't want to ride the bone dragon? Whoa. Yes. What about you two? Do you want to ride the bone dragon? Not right now.

We've got to break them out of it. It was a charm. I felt the same way. Every time I look to the left, everything's so slow. Iris. But I feel so warm on the inside. All right. I tried to jumpstart Toa by just burning him a little bit. I think I should try it on Caprice. What fool? I don't feel like Caprice doesn't really have much place to go. The Tom.

I'm in like a tiny cage with Toa who would take up most of the space. I'm like pressed up against the bars. I find where you are. It's like the water world page. I find where you are and I take five, like one big step back some five feet away and I fire bolt you. Fuck with me. Oh! It's 3D10 fire damage, which you should be resistant to. But I don't hold back. I do 3D10 fire damage. What's the giant Lutyootoo's bird that like stands right behind? You know what I mean? Isn't that Tweety? 25 to hit? Uh, that hit? Yeah.

I know what you're talking about. I re-roll my two. That's fine. Why not? It's still a two. I have to keep it. So that's a 15 points of fire damage, which you would take half of. I will take half of that. I'm really sorry, Caprice. Wake up! I like, I like, devided him in flame. Can I rerow my, uh, yeah? Wisdom saving?

At advantage, because you took a full fire bolt. Nope, 14. Well, I'm out of ideas. And I'm not gonna inspire myself, because it's funny. Well, we think that's sick. Well, I think they're charred. I'm feeling sick.

Just get it out. Oh, you don't, oh. I hold your ears back. No, no, be fine. I'll be fine. Oh, no, I'll get you. I'm inside of a cage. He's like swinging.

I'm in a cage right now. But eventually I would like to try and touch him and cast Lesser Restoration. Yeah. Oh, that's easy. That's easy to do. And you're immediately de-charmed. You come in your senses.

As you hear, and as this is happening, you hear some chittery laughter above you as the cages shake. As there's all sorts of voices from the dozens of hanging cages. I'm going to lift up the sheet iris. I'm going to lift up the... Oh, shit. Sorry.

Well, Jesus. Hold on. Who's that? It's a friend I knew in Galtica. Just a minute. Since you're in there with Tewa, maybe you can do something. No, why don't you all get in here? We're not going to get in there, Tewa.

There's no room. And two, we don't want to. Why not? You're being magically influenced to become a prisoner. I'm not. You're all about freedom, Tawa. Not right now.

I won't be in a cage. I want to be sacrificed. She's going to lead us to paradise. You're going to feel so embarrassed where you come to. You're going to have to give him the Bernie Bernie again, but let me sing a song as that happens.

I can resolve it. Yeah, let's start burning our friends. Would you like me to ritually prepare you for sacrifice? Oh, I mean, as long as it's... If anyone was going to do it, I would be the best. As long as it's the Lisa O'Frank Ebe that's sacrificing me, then sure. Of course.

As long as you don't sacrifice me first before she gets a doubt. I would never. All right, you could prepare me for sacrifice. I mean... What are you saying? Lisa Frank. Lisa Frank Al Ebe. Lisa Al Frank Ebe, I mean.

Right. It's a din reference. Can you help lift me towards the cage so I can touch the door? I'm blocked in this cage with color. No, mind. Felix, can you up lift me? Yeah, I got you. And I'll, like, kneel down next to the cage

and, like, make it so that you can, like, step up onto my knee, step up onto my shoulder if you need to help get you up higher. All right, Taua. You need to come to the edge of the cage. I need to put both of my hands on your face so I can start chanting the ritual. All right.

Can I start with a quick song and give them a little bardic? Make me like the best human sacrifice is in the head. If it's this going to work. Yes, it looks like Pale Night Hood allow it. Hey, but I take my spooch. Shut up there.

Shut up there. You rattle the cages. I rattled the cages. Hey, Toa? People are angryly. I know this doesn't make complete sense right now, but it's important for the ritual. Way stronger than a conscious blow-a. Bask in the warmth of his kind aura.

That's why I love my brother Toa. Inspiration. Oh. Did you feel that? It was like the glow of the lights outside. Now I grab his face and I immediately cast less restoration. You're immediately realizing you're in a cage. As you realize that all of the laughter has stopped.

And all of the flames that you had produced have gone out. And all you hear is the faint rattling of cages and the trembling as you feel the presence above you. Oh, God. All right, I think it's time to get out of the cage now, guys. You look and you see an enormous woman in a sheep. A veiled ghost. It's basically a feminine figure in white with a white veil and just the faintest feminine body beneath a billowing drape,

like the curtain that you had seen. There are no eyes, there are no faces. There is no face. You just see, you can see through this thing, but you feel her stone, or her ice cold gaze on you. Congressland, I don't want to be a sacrifice. I don't want to be a sacrifice. Stop moving, I'm trying to get the walk,

I'm trying to get the walk. Oh, this isn't good. You hear a very melancholy voice just so faintly, just very similar to a reekswick in the back of your head. Sacrifice, sacrifice. As you feel, you feel, you see this looming specter. And even Escher in his bat form climbs back down

and tries to get out of her sight. Lifting. So, all right? It's a little scary. Does it involve me getting out of this cage? Well, eventually, yes, I hope so. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. I'm trying to unlock the lock that I lock.

If we need to sacrifice one of us, Whoa. I do have this pendant and I hold up my that would stabilize me if I died. So as long as we only need to die for a second, you could technically kill me. That sounds like a fucking nightmare.

Oh, yes. You've ever died. I have you. I would have to trust that you are not going to pummel my body into paste once I was dead. If any of us were going to die, the last of them.

should be you. Because you're the only one who actually knows how to fucking life death this bitch. Yeah, killer, killer, killer. You hear an abyssal. Shut! This is my favorite, M-P-A-C. You hear an abyssal.

Yeah, fucking killer! Hey, nobody has to. You don't get her. Shut! I yell back in abyssal. You can't see. Basically, you just see. I shout from where I heard from.

Yeah, this cage is very large, but you can't, whatever is in this thing is not showing up. So it must be small. I understand that it is a little. is not ideal considering my abilities. But none of you, if any of you were to die, I have no way to bring you back presently.

Now, yeah, but why are we jumping to sacrificing one of us first? What else are we going to sacrifice? I don't know. I don't know. Stupid guys shouted from up there somewhere. Yeah, there's like 100 assholes hanging in the ceiling. I just wait and fire on all of them. I just hear disembodied Jewish.

Sacrifice the cat. Hey, hey, shut up. You see finally a small head poke over. And it's demon-like, it's got big bulging eyes, large, kind of almost like vermin-like fangs, but there's actually a bit of a bull snout to it and horns. Oh, that's so cute. Yeah, that sounds good.

I don't want to kill that. You see two small hands, and it's like this greenish skin as it looks over. And he says, wait a minute, are you guys that fucking kill you guys? Oh shit, he got suck! Hey, fuck you, fuck him! And they're all shouting back

as they're all shouting. And the cacophony of voices in cages, I would say both of, you make an A, uh, Arcona Check of advantage. 28? 28. These are very clearly quosets.

That are of Baffamette. Nothing. The whole thing, time it just sounds like, grub, like, yeah, like, yeah, like back in the form. Yeah, you're lucky, I can't get out of this cage. All right, she wants a sacrifice.

I'll give her a sacrifice. Fake Felix. And I fire a fire bullet at this thing, and I try to kill him in this cage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, make an attack roll. Please, almost. Ooh, it's a 14. Let's see. It's a straight shot, the quazette, he's between the bars.

He sees 13, roll damage. Yes! Yeah. He can't resist either. That's 10. and 22 plus five is 27 points of fire damage. He's not resistant. He's incident of points.

His head just gets cried off his body, like a liquid lava hot shot, just takes his head off. Ha! You hear! Dye! Does the fire illuminate how many are up there? Oh yeah. You see the cages. There are dozens of hanging cages, and they're basically,

almost all quasi- there are higher levels of demons. They seem to have, um, You have to say that they are from various demon lorans, but most of them seem to be of Baffement. And there, I sacrificed it. My fire doesn't hurt me. And you hear, and you see a tiny soul get ripped out from him and make its way through the air

and make its way too pale night as this aspect covers. And she's nearly emotionless beyond the wrapping of her veil as she does one final sacrifice. And she shimmers and fades away. And in this last moment, you hear a clang as a cage overhead that's very small, drops down, and the impact on the snowy stone breaks it open, and you see two small pile by ears, scatter across the stone,

as you feel a veil. As this aspect of pale night leaves the antechamber of this castle, drifting away from the sacrificed closet, you all feel that same kind of shifting veil on top of you, and it hangs and it lingers, the very faint colors of the coldest winter midst a sheet of ice and all of your AC increases by one.

Whoa. Okay, I'm glad that worked. I'm gonna be honest. I'm apologizing for losing my cool. How do you do that? You click on your armor class and then you can customize it and you can add additional magic bonus. You hear in the Bissell, he killed three-legged Z.

Get him! Three-leg in Z. And I fired back. Good luck! You're all struck in Cajus! Caprice, how's that block coming? Come on, we gotta get out of here. I'm not gonna lie to you. I don't lie to you, I thought that I locked it with the thieves tools, but I think it was just

already locked, and then I closed the door, and I don't know how to make this lock. What? I don't have a key. Fix it. I can't. Fix it, fix it, fix it. The DM has allowed me to make a roll for some time. Can't you just bend the bars? You're like huge. You can break out. I try to break it open. I didn't know that. No, no, no.

Tella leans his shoulder and crushes Caprice to get out. Give me a... How did you say to do this? Which one? Oh, you click on your AC and then you start. A different... There's a bunch of different... And then you can just do pale night

so that way you know. It's... 22, you were able to pick it. As you... Oh, oh, shit, I just smash it. We tumble out community. There you go, baby girl. You can do that.

Snowy stone. As... I... No, I'm... No, I'm gillie. Yeah. Your floor... ... stopped in your chest.

As you when you first looked up at that huge, of Dale, floating above you, as you were chilled to the bone, but you did whatever presence is gone, she basically disappeared further into the castle after her sacrifice. You get the sense that perhaps she's unable to physically harm these captives,

and all she can do is charm them to enter the cages and must require other hands to commit the sacrifices. wait for them to die. And these obviously qualms are immortal. Huh. Okay. Damn. I'll walk over and pick up the ears.

You do? It's very easy. They're shockingly warm, but a little bit nippy to the touch. It's weird to hold the ears, you know? That's what I was saying. I mean, they are just plain me. I've never seen inside of my own ears before.

But I've heard good things. Anyway. Nope. The priest, as you hand the ears back, Asher perks up as a bat, and he, his ear's perk, the kind of, or his bird-like eyes in that, is just watching them.

Obviously, too afraid to shift back into his normal form. Let's get you somewhere safe. And as you feel, Caprice, this is the last time you're going to see snow for the rest of the campaign. Yep. It's all that coming. Can we find a place to, like, lay low for a little while? I know we've got a lot to do and probably very little time, but I need 12 hours with the snow. What?

What? Why? I have an idea. You think we're going to give you 12 hours of snow for an idea? Yeah, you guys trust me. And I don't have to cast glitzis to convince you of the most radical ideas. You know that you've lied to our faces,

but we trust you, but that trust only goes up far. That was like four or five years ago. I mean, it was a while ago. I've been totally up front with you. Someone, I've been told. Don't put them on the ground. He just, and he tries like scoop it up with his little bat wings.

I help him, I pick him up, and I put them up next to my bun so he can nest with them. He does. He nest is very pleasant way. I need 12 hours. But what for? We couldn't even afford more than one for a quick rest, let alone enough time for me to get my energy back. I'm on a lot of years here.

Think about how many pieces you guys have to go. Can't you even just tell us what you're trying to do? You don't want to ruin the surprise. I know how to do this. No, no, no, no. I could use a sleep. I mean, I don't have to sleep here. We're going to freeze the death.

You could, you could continue on. And you could, you could, you could, uh, uh, uh, Go get there, I mean, there's fucking nine more of these bitches. We're not going to leave you here. Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Master of portals can, and then I, it makes perfect sense. All right?

Caprice, you just got yourself out of a cage you locked yourself into. We are not leaving you here. You can't be trusted by yourself. You can't be trusted. I just need like a little cove, and then I'm gonna give the performance of a lifetime. The camera zooms way out,

and you hear Felix yell, Where? And it's completely flat of nothing but snow for the bazillions of infinite miles. Yeah, yeah. You're all to stay here. She doesn't mind, do you? D.

Stay. I can't, I can't, I can't say yes to this. They killed Zuckuskis. Fuck you guys. Right there. What's there. Shut up. Shut up.

Fuck you guys. Whose. I can give you a performance. I got your sword. Look, there's just no getting around it. It takes 12 hours for me to sing every song I've ever written from beginning to end, all of them. And you need to do that, why?

Because with snow like this, I could make another me. The world can't even handle the one you, let's go. What? No! Think about how important that could be For everything that we're going up against, wouldn't you want to have two caprices and not one? And then what happens if both caprices

get turned against us with some kind of charm? And instead of going up against one caprice, we've got two caprices. Then the way that you will die will be so magical and gentle and just... Yeah, well, I'm sold. You know, when the base drops, you guys are going to be like, ah, you know,

could have had it. Is there a reason you need a second to you? Because it's... Hold on. A question. Would that second you also have... be greggnant? No. Kill the current to you and keep the second to you? Would that make any difference?

Well, you could do that, but I'm pretty sure that the second caprice, we have to think of a name for him. The second caprice, he would be unable to heal. He would have a very short fuse. He just, whatever magic we put into him, that's it. No longer is for him, buddy. He's gonna be very grumpy. So let me get this straight.

Walk me through how this works. You want to spend 12 hours with the snow. Yeah. And then what happens? And then another me shows up. And how long does that last for? Forever until he dies. We have to go.

We have to go. You have to go. I have another question during this 12 hours. When I'm assuming the rest of us would rest, you would not be afforded rest. So there would be, would be a second you. Yeah, he'd be full tank.

And I would be admittedly diminished. However. No, I just had this idea scroled through my brain like a text message. This would be your Capri Sun. Oh yeah. That's very funny. I didn't think of it.

All right, so we're all agreed. No, we're not even remotely in agreement. Why not? Thank you, architect Heather. You're gonna freeze the death here. I have cold resistance. I'm gonna be fine. I'll be fine.

I'm gonna be okay. Fuck you. It'll be fine. Fuck you. You kill Zikas. We cannot leave Caprice here. We have this one opportunity. Wait, bring the snow with us?

How much snow do you need? I need about, uh, a buck 25. What is a lot? What measurement? 125 pounds. I need 125 pounds. That's a lot of snow, Caprize. But how many orcs is 125 pounds?

I don't know. Is that how much your way? Is that how much your way? Is that like a pound of smoke, a pound of the three? I have a strength score of eight. Zero point six three works. All right. Thank you.

You're welcome. It's not a lot of orc, but quite a lot of snow. We can take some with us, right? How are we gonna keep it cold? I don't think we can take a partial orc with us. Maybe. Oh. And how would we keep it to snow?

Oh, oh, what if, what if old Batatouille can make a portal to like some snow domain that we can like some cold box realm that we can keep it in, keep it nice and chilly? Batatooie. The snow? Do you have access to a snow portal? He looks at you like, that's what I've been trying to say.

Please, that sure go rap. All right. Well, if Baddett says it. Your name is Escher. No. Then we can wait for an easy 12-hour window, and I'll be able to give you all the best performance you've ever seen, and you'll get a second to pre-sout of the deal. All right, well, let's get away from the castle, and he'll open a portal, and all stuff,

we can all help maybe, but I can lift 125 pounds of snow easy. Sure. We'll get it in there, and then you can use it at your leisure. Okay. I have a question. What is heavier? 125 pounds of snow or 125 pounds of or 125 pounds of orc.

Are you sure? Yes. Why? Because it's orcs. Orcs is heavier than snow. All right, I want you to think about that. And we'll check in, okay? You keep thinking about that.

Okay, no, I'm very confident in this. All right, well, just think about it. Is the orc alive? Do you think that that matters? I think it would be harder to carry. That's not the question, Caprice. Someone's paying attention. It's just which one's heavier.

And everyone knows that or so heavy than snow. I'm sorry, I'm all fucked up. I lock myself in a cage like five minutes ago. No, fuck you. Fuck you! I said, shut up! He's screaming, he sounds like Eddie from that end, Eddie. That's incredible.

All right, well, you've convinced it. Can we get the fuck out of you? Let's go. We walk just out of eye shot of the castle so that Escher can transform back. You, Escher immediately takes into the sky and he tries to fly out and immediately he gets carried away and then he's crying.

And then you grab him and then you take him back. And as soon as the snow, the blizzard completely shields you, he ships back out and says, I told you that these would be easier and less grotesque. Nice shot, by the way, Felix. Thanks. I'm true.

He could have killed the rest of them. It wasn't very pleasant having to kill one of those little guys. To be fair, it was just a demon. Yeah, it was really annoying. Yeah, they said a lot of really vulgar stuff. Oh, I couldn't hear what they were saying. They just sounded cute.

I don't speak of this, or also. I've no idea what they were saying, but it seemed like they were being quite mean to Capri. It was stuff that I wouldn't be comfortable repeating. May I... Well, it's all the best. He'll have his ear. He'll look at Romanovius ears.

Yeah, take this in. Yeah, please. Take them away. One step closer. He puts them in and then, do we need to store snow? No, rice? Oh, if that's possible.

I assume we would get wherever we needed to when we would have a 12-hour window and you'd be able to open a portal to a snow plates. But if we can put the snow into a place where we can store it, that's much easier. That's what I was trying to describe. That's fine. However we can get the snow.

You see, as he takes his rapier and draws a circle. A light chill comes out and he says, well, you're to it. I'm not gonna very climb back. Shoveling it. I take my spoon and I start shoveling. Thank you. I try to help.

I would use my bowl. I don't move a lot of snow, but I help. This giant veal. So fucking snow. He's like a shovel. Where do you keep that thing? You don't want to know. And you've never played it once this entire campaign.

No, no, just my fiddle. Man, that would have been much more thematic the whole time if you really leaned into the whole devil's fiddle thing. Oh, shit. That makes sense. Yeah, well, if we ever animate this. We can lean into that. Okay.

The year was 2035. Wow, you weren't kidding. This thing's huge. It's like a tiny cello. The viol was the living meme of a small boulder. What's the smaller than violin word? A smaller than violin? Like a contra-no.

No, there's a violi or, it's viola something, I think. The viola is still bigger than a violet. So violin is really like the... The viola? The viola? No, it says finally is violin. Yeah, violin's the smallest. So I've been fucking...

According to the... According to just the internet, the smallest viola is in fact much much... is in fact much smaller than a full-size violin at just 30 centimeters. Okay. But like, what's a smaller violin called the pochette? Oh, that's cute.

Pichette. Look the boss a lot again just to be sure. I'm done. Pocatete. Pocatete. All right. Oh, it's French for small pocket. Oh, poachette.

Poucheon. Poucheon. If this does pay off. And these Oberiths turn on each other the more that we help them the more powerful they will be

to destroy Pizzou and then destroy each other we might actually win this Okay, all right I hope so, what if they all just team up and beat us into the dirt? Well, it's like he said they don't really get along

Yeah, but what if they kill us first and then they all fight amongst each other? Well, then we failed. We just have to make sure that that doesn't happen. They're very focused on one thing. You, I don't really want to focus on the negatives. You're not really one to focus on what happens if we fail. What's gotten into you today?

I'm just, I don't know, I've gone unconscious a lot of times. That's been a scary day. I know. Don't go to sleep, don't know. Definitely have a concussion after me. Okay, well, let's just try to be a long in your eyes. You're like Mr. Positive. All right.

You're Mr. Brightside. Exactly right. That's very good. It's funny because you're out of your cage, and now you're doing just fine. Despite all your rage. Still just a toe in the cage. No, no, you're not in a cage anymore.

You're out. Oh, no. It's no, up parentheses, hey, oh. Skibud-de-du-da-da-da-Dav-Calif-Fa-Dap, California. No, he definitely has a big. You just match like eight different songs. Every, yeah, that's all of that.

That's the entire discography of, of J-BOR's. How long does it take us to get all the snow in the total? You were able to get it. Okay. And Escher closes that. Where are we going next? They're going to the whispering can.

Sorry, the whispering. The whispering can. Care. Oh, can. C-A-I-R-N. The whispering can. What's a care? It's like a stack of stones.

Oh. It's like a big pile of stones. A place where you mark something usually. So then is calling something. something a lonely can of stone redundant? Well, they can be made out of different things. Stone is just the most common. Could be a pile of.

Because they don't weather. Could be wood. It could be bones. It's kind of like a signpost. Bones, stones. But you can store stuff in it. That is true. I know, I read.

The can't. You can read. Yeah, I can read. I speak like eight languages. He's like 40% reading. That's right. He's reading the character. And who's the, uh,

The Hancho. That is Khazar Vexus. Very dear name. That is. Kavar Zadexas? Nassauvidexus. The hornedexus. The horned deuce.

Kuzar, oh, well, a duke. That is lovely. Duke of what? The Duke of owls. He's a horned duke. The horned duke. The horned duke. The horned duke.

The horned duke. The horned duke. Jesus. He's got horns. He's a duke. That's quite the name. Duk, Duk, Cazaverdexus

Is that what you said? Yes. All right. I don't name the older ones. Oh, no, it's a nice day. I'd love it. Oh, oh. Let's take a break.

Yeah. Do you go. Oh, my God. I love it. Oh, yes. Oh, many demons that lurk here. Zavidexus is dead, unburied, and the Tenari demons that had risen up against the oberus

eat as flesh eternally. Ooh. Ah. It's like a punishment thing? I think it's something where as long as he remains unburied, there's nothing he can do. That's why they've thrown their lot in. With Pizzouz.

Wait, is he dead or undead? When you're a demon, the lion is very blood. So, okay. And he draws his circle and you see this kind of gray glow around him. As he steps forward. And you see immediately he moves into the back. As you all are able to step forward. We go through.

you see the whispering cairn, and you see jagged, rocky landscapes all above you. As you look into the sky and you see billowing green clouds, and you can't tell if it's night or day, there is no sun, there is no moon. It's just dark and ashy, as there's pools of green liquid

pouring down the mountains and filling great pools as far as you can see. Green strikes of lighten across the sky. Music. Oh, thank you. What does it smell like? It smells... Say eggs. I don't really trigger any. It smells like, how about eggs? How about those eggs, boo-boo-boo. Hey, Felix, what about those eggs? We can go steal a piccadick basket. What's the real answer? I was a serious question. I wasn't trying to be like, cheeky. It does smell a little sulfury.

Damn it. It definitely smells a little sulfury, but it's a bit earthy too. It smells, it has, it's, it's definitely very earthy and loamy, almost. Lonely, what a good word. You see the soil going out, as you see these large green pools and these green rivers pouring down,

and you can't, it's slow moving, and you, you're not really sure what it is, but you see these flocking demons. They are almost, they're very elongated and gaunt with sharp teeth and hollow eyes as they fly through the sky on bat-like wings. As you see now that there are these bits and pieces of flesh that are just scattered out

about this landscape, minion pools as a flock of these demons are just gnashing and ripping in and just eating it. And you see that no matter how much they eat, it never really fully goes away. As you see as Asher in that form flies on top of your little buns. Terrible place.

Anything's better than the vermin blan. I'm here for it. Oh, that's true. This is definitely a huge improvement. As long as whatever's doing its thing over there doesn't turn its attention to us, we're good. So that's stuff they're eating. That's him?

Allegedly. Him all over. Is this all, are we standing on him? Are we looked down? No, basically there are just kind of chunks and piles of bits of bone here and there. And then you see down into this

large valley with rocky ravines, you see a very large pair of horns that are connected and as if they've been snapped out of a skull as they are rising up, almost out of a ravine, as you see kind of the green sludge going in that direction as you see bits of them. You see the occasional bit of bone as there might be some of these chittering demons

on top and eating it. But you are standing on rock and soil. Well, given the name to the horns. Yeah, I think so. Oh, because he's the, he's the Duke of those things. No, he's the horned Duke. Which would still make him the Duke of Horns. Does it?

Oh, no, it doesn't necessarily mean that he lords over horns. It just means that he is a Duke that has horns. Oh. Now, that's a fair point that I hadn't considered. Let's go. You make your way down as you see, you go into a ravine and you see the large aspiring rocks, and they move up very unnaturally,

as they almost have a spiral design, and you see the dark hands of these tall, gaunt creatures staring down at you. None seem to bother you. They look at you, and as soon as you get remotely close, like a flock of pigeons or other birds, and they immediately scatter away, despite being not much smaller than the rest of you.

As they go and they find another place to feast, as you make your way deeper and deeper until you see this, the, a river of this green slime gets smaller and smaller as the passageway gets narrower and narrower. Toa, you actually have to kind of step sideways to get through a little bit as it gets tighter and tighter until it opens back up and you see,

amidst, as with two large spires, either way, almost forming a rock formation of the horns, you see the large, the looming shape of these black horns attached to a darkened skull. A little tight, a little tight, a little tight, let's keep going, come on, make your way. Approach. and quiet fills this little chamber,

this quiet place is none of the the demons of the night descend upon you. None are even flying overhead and circling as they had been tailing you almost like vultures this entire time, as you all hear similar, kind of in the back of your mind,

a mournful, melancholic voice Barry That's no easy task He's all over the place Where where are you Could you maybe just list like one piece We could bury? I mean look in front of you

This is him Maybe we could just bury his skull Maybe he wants berries No what Oh like bury me bro Yeah And you throw me like a berry Flavoured scents of vodka

Hmm What is wrong with you? That's what a bro would say, isn't it? Ah, well, I have the ability to move some earth. I don't have the spell prepared that would let me do that a lot faster. We're seriously considering burying him? What's we have to do? Think about it just a little bit, right?

We had to make a sacrifice. It was one of those closets gone. It works. We have a fucking kindergarten, Caprice. How big is the skull? Basically, it's just the horns, a fragment of skull. It's basically attached to a bit of skulls. Like when you see like an antelopes.

Yes, exactly. But is it massively enormous? It is probably about like the size of this room. Okay. Across and so it is, it's huge, but it's not like a megaton mountain size pair of horns. I mean, I don't think we can bury all of it, but like. Well, let's just start and see what happens. Maybe we'll get a good answer here quickly.

I look around and I look around and I look. at what we're standing on and I look to see if there's like dirt and or stone that I think is loose enough that I might be able to move with mold earth. What are the rules on mold earth? I choose a portion of dirt or stone that I can see within a range. The range is 30 feet and that fits within a five foot cube. I can manipulate one of the following ways. If I target loose earth, I can excavate it and move it along the ground, deposit up to five feet away. I can literally just move earth. Right. This movement doesn't have enough force to cause damage though. I can cause shapes colors.

or both to appear on the dirt if I want to draw stuff, spell things out. It changes, that changes last for an hour. Or if the dirt or stone that you target is on the ground, I can cause it to become difficult terrain. So really, I am trying to just excavate and move Earth. As you think about mold Earth, I want you to make an archa chock.

Okay. From what you've experienced on your way down. Yeah, it's 23. 23. You look around and you absolutely feel like all of this type of stone, although it's so strange in this layer of the abyss, you feel like you can mold it.

And you get the sense that you had seen these large boulders and stones that have been scattered around this area. There are some scattered around the antlers or the horns, some are along the mountain side, some were scattered out back by other pieces as if there perhaps been, had been a cairn here, as the wind howls through you

and you kind of hear a as the wind whips, through this little gorge. Thank you. That's what you experience. Well, here's the thing. What? I can move this stuff around, but it'll take a long time.

And quite frankly, I should have realized it sooner. And I start, I say, look over there. And I start pointing out the different portions of these stones that are kind of scattered all over the place. Yeah? It looks like we could probably rebuild the cairn. Oh. Someone removed his cair and that was covered in the top of his head.

And now, if any of those boulders are, bigger than, you know, five by five, really. I'm going to have to use something else to do this. And I was saving my one... Uh-oh. Oh, no. I don't know if I can upcast that. I don't think I can't.

Nope. The only other spell that I had to do that could make quick work of this is gone. Done. I can't use telekinesis to move the really heavy stones. Okay, okay. If we can work together, we might be able to do it, but I can't do it alone.

How big are these stones again? They're like big, right? They're big, but like, you know, I don't think they're bigger than five by five. Could like Toa and me strong man it? Yeah, he's, you absolutely, could be more more heavier than 500 pounds? Oh, I would say some seem heavier than 500 pounds,

but some would be lighter. I could help with some of them. I could live probably more than 500, a lot more than 500. Yeah, yeah. Well, between all of us, we should be able to get it done. I would be happy to watch and give directions. Oh, tell me which one to grab first, Iris.

That one over there. All right. I'll start any stone that I think I can handle strength-wise. I will start picking up and moving. And I will use molders to do the same with the ones that I think I can manage. Is anyone else besides a Toa? Well, so what I would say is I put out a little backpack that has a seat with a covered awning for Iris, like Yisma and Krista.

like Yis Ma and Krane. Oh, that's amazing. So Iris gets in and directs me around. It's like freaks the money. Yeah, exactly right. You see now, as you begin to do this, it's like that scene in the birds, where you look and you see one of these night demons.

Oh, no. And then you look, you kind of look, go back to your work, and then you look and you see four more. And then suddenly you're entirely surrounded. And, uh, As soon as you have the largest rock, the largest rock that you have as these spells are cast, you hear a cacophony of voices as these creatures

shriek into the night and everyone to make an intelligent saving throw. Oh, God. To see if this stuns you and breaks your concentration. I am using five twists. Mm. 21. Okay.

16. 16. Okay. Is it been 10 minutes since? We all have to roll. Since the last time you asked if it's been done. What kind of? Intelligent.

What up? What's going on with you? Every single one of these. Almost every single one, it's just the dead. What were you doing to assist? Oh, Luffy. Oh, I was just picking up any stone I think I can lift on my own. I'm picking up and trying to carry.

So you hear the psychic shrieks of these demons and say the let out of these otherworldly shriek of. of the dead. And anyone who got less than a 15th stumbled and falls back and the stone crushes on top of you. Oh, no. I would fall on first.

Dexterity saving though to see if you get out. Would you consider that cock? Oh, that one's caught. Yeah, I thought you ruled that one. No, and I rolled this one. Is it dexterity saving to grow? 24. You, you're hackles raising you,

and you just almost bounce out. You know how cats is the automatic respond? The second Toa tilts at all, you are immediately out. And Toa, you immediately lock up as your mind is fried by this horrible shriek. And you fall back. It's like an Atlas Stone style. As it cuts on you. It's 800 pounds.

No, it's like 1,200 pounds. 16 points of bludgeoning down. Jesus. And you are pinned beneath the rock now. I've been using my bow, which allows me to cast levitate. and I've been literally singing one of the songs up, but I will fail with a 13, and the entire time, I'm not even paying attention

until the scream occurs, I'm just watching the stone directly above me. And if I could lift 500 pounds and I could lift 500 miles. Ah! Dixarity saving throw, as the stone drops on you. I'm gonna drop my stone and rush over to Tella and try to shove this boulder off of him. And use a temporary thing, it's just

the moment where it paralyzes you, but it basically has dropped. Make a athletics check, or if you want to help Toa, you can make it an advantage. If I now have the agency to push. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Help. I can't. I have king. Heave, Toa.

Heave. I got a 17. Oh, that's pretty good. Better. What does a strength save? Or? Athletics check. Crush it.

It's still the same. Or acrobatics? Oh, you're just giving him assistance. Oh, yeah. Oh, if you're assisting me, even, no. You're good. 22. With Lufty's help, you're able to use all of your strength

to lug this back, and it rolls down to the next to the care that you're building, as you see the night creatures of circling around you now. I don't think they like this. I got a 15, that I succeed? Oh, you do. Just barely. Oh, sweet Christmas.

So it's close. Why were you carrying it right above your head? Why would you do that? It just seems. No, that was stupid. Come on. I'm still just trying to move as many of these stones I possibly can.

I'm noticing that these creatures are moving in and slowly gathering and I'm trying to work faster. You do that. And what I'll say is that let me get, however you're contributing, I need an ability check. So a skill check. I'll Rekana? Yeah, so you can Rekana.

So you can athletics. Uh, however you choose is to do it, Iris, if you're... Persuasion or intimidation, a charisma of some kind. If you fear to builders, Towa. Caprice. I want of my arms? Um, I'll use, kind of, see which one's higher. Well, presumably it's gonna be...

Wrong! Boldlyleather. I guess mine wouldn't be athletics as well, right? I was literally looking there for a new group. Oh, that was terrible. Seven. No, eight. No, seven. Oof to. 24. Nice.

Oh, God, 27. A bazillion. Escher is trying to bat a two of you, and it's not going very well. He's not really super helpful. And then just flies, and he tries. I got it. He tries to chase off some of these things. And even a small bat, they, they,

they let out, they have these, they almost don't have mouths. And then as soon as it appears, they just, a mouth opens out of nowhere and they let out a shriek and then fly away. And then just return back. And once they realize that you are succeeding in this, they seem to leave you alone and give up hope.

As the wind picks up and howls through, as Toa, I'll say that you're helping do the foundation and Felix, you finally are able to stack that final last stone with your magic. and that lands as you hear a, you hear a whisper, as the wind whips through the can and whips through the gorge,

as you see that, you hear with the wind whipping, there's a rumbling of stone as one boulder falls away from the side, and in a little crevice, you see deflated and then inflated, and then deflated, and then deflating. and then deflated, and then inflated. A pair of child's lungs. Oh, love.

As the wind whips through, as actually flies down and kind of, and stops and looks at it, as you feel a, the wind kind of whips through this area. And as you breathe, you feel a sense of strength, fill you and you all get plus two strength.

Oh, holy shit. Wow. So you can do the same thing, Kelsey. If you click on the strength step. Oh, whoops. You have the ability to add other modifier. You have, guys, I have muscles. Is the other modifier gonna- More than you did, yeah?

Override score. Just do other modifier, do two. Cuts. Oh, I'm even stronger than usual. Check it out. I don't know if I could do something. There we go. Plus four, two.

You. Huh? T-l-na-na. Oh. The jacket's falling apart, Caprice. Yeah, I, we haven't been to like a tailor or anything this whole trip. It's just the jacket I left Galt again.

Yeah, it's pretty pretty beautiful. You know, if we live through this, you should get a new jacket. You know? I think that's right. I think I will get a new jacket if we live through this. That's a great idea. Guys, look!

I flex a little bit. there's like a tiny muscle. I spend all the time with him. Felix, you're rubbing off on me. You're getting so strong, look at you. Gosh, you could pick up one of those bulls that I was carrying. You point to a very tiny pebble.

Yeah, that's like this big. I pick it like I didn't jump off the ground. Okay. Yes, that was amazing. I turned to the side and you can see my tail and it also does this. Did Escher grab the lung? He is too small as a bat and he flies down

and he's kind of just us sitting there. And his eyes are wide. I'll go in gently. It is soft and a little wet. But surprisingly, you pick it up. And you're holding a pair of lungs. Can we get out of here? Please, quickly.

Let's move away, right? to make sure that the batarina can show up. Escher flies and you see him dive over a ridge and down into a ravine and you see a large cave mouth that he's able to guide you towards. As you are out of view of the night creatures that had these carrion demons that had been feasting upon the remains of Kazarvidexas, the Horn Duke,

and you managed to get out of sight, and immediately shifts back, and he says, Pizzou is sick. He's sick, and he reaches out for him. Yeah, yeah. Maybe he's will be able to breathe one day. It's been so long. And he opened the portal and places them.

And he closes them. And he says, all right, we're getting there. I feel, even though I'm staying out of sight, I feel the effect of these places, these places. Are you okay? I will survive. I will be fine. And he pulls out his rapier again and says,

now we go to the wells of darkness, the layer of Kabiri, the watching master. I may not be able to avoid his gaze, but we can certainly hope. What happens if you don't avoid it? Then we pray that the word of obab ox, what is this name? Obbox, ob. Ob, ob.

Ob. Ob. Ab box, ob. Obok's ob. Obach. And the others has spread to them. And there's dissension. Let's go.

And he opens a portal and you see kind of a faint, almost a pinkish, purplish glow. as he transforms into a bat and flies in. What was this, the Wells of Darkness with Kabiri? With Kabiri, C-A-B-I-R-I, the watching master. The watching. The watch. He's like a master of watching. It's how it's like.

Oh, like the timepiece. Yes. Or eyes. How do you have a piece of time? No, like, you know, like a pocket watch or something is a time piece. Yeah. Watches are time pieces.

Why are they called timepieces? It's just a language unit that means the thing. Why not something about like a clock in your pock it? I don't know. You mean like pocket watch? You know, I think clock in your pock it is way cooler than pocket. Why not clock it pocket? I actually agree.

You're going to have a whole jingle. Clock pocket. That's really good, Felix. They should give you a raise for coming up with such a great marketing jingle. You really do have a concussion. Your brain is melting to arm. Caprice, I'm worried about Tela. I know, I'm worried about him a lot.

You step into darkness, but moats of color all around you. As you once again float, it is no longer that inky void, but you see giant plumes of colorful gases, stars all around you. You see a variable sea of stars and nebulous. the shapes stretching as far as you can see as you are floating in this place that hums of energy. Oh. Even those of you that don't cast magic, you feel the magic crackling in the air.

Arcs of energy arcing all around you, not too dissimilar from the arcing green lightning that you had seen in the previous layer, as it arcs all over the places. You see it hoops out into purples and pinks and of brilliant arcane blues as it then shrinks back down. As you see off in the distance, always present, orbs of color. There's one over there, there's another over there, there's another. Everything else, the gasses, the arcing energy is all moving. You see these large, colorful forms just staying in motion, staying still. Completely transfext.

And you feel a similar sensation to what you had experienced in the inky void of the forgotten lands as you feel like you're being launched. Can he see you right now? The bat just kind of shrinks behind Lifting. He seems nervous. Let's make this quick. Let's figure it out. Floor right at him.

In and out. What are the chances that she has? He has. Oh, because he sees him. Oh, he's a watcher. If he already is a watcher, why would he need the eyes? I mean, that's sort of on brand, but at the same time, superfluous. I don't think any of these lords and ladies need the body parts.

I think Pizzouza was the one that distributed them in a vaguely themic way. All right. I like your idea. We get straight in, and do it we can. All right. Straight into what? To the horrible glowing, presumably ours. Oh, I thought there were more than one.

Am I crazy? Yeah, they're all over. There's like orbs of different colors everywhere. Oh, in all directions? They thought it was all coming from one. No, they all seem to be in various directions, but they all seem to share the same gaze is what you feel. Oh, interesting.

Is the gaze on us? Same that one. Oh. I still don't hate the idea of getting closer and trying to check this out. See what this is about. Let's find one of the orbs as close as we can and we'll go from there.

Is he gonna try to stop us or what? Who knows? Maybe he just watches. You try to swim through and you're unable. You just Please don't look. Flowing around.

Come on, Felix. It's not working. Okay, all right, all right. Maybe we can talk to him. Well, if all of the eyes are on us, then it's paying attention. Maybe we don't have to go anywhere. Oh.

That's true. Maybe he's trying to speak to him. I could try getting more attention. Just, uh, you see all the eyes turn to a bright electric blue. Ah, as you see bit moats of gases and orbs, as they all, it's a shimmering, uh, arcane blue. As they, uh, as they all, where they had been multiple colors, they all turn to the same

and then suddenly you see a dark circle emerge at the center of each one. Like an enormous pupil. Ugh. As they're all around you. Hello. Hi, greetings. Greetings.

Hello, hello, hello. Uh, Kabiri? Just masterful watching. Just great. Well done. Oh, magic? I mean, magic. What does that mean, magic?

Maybe a display, maybe some sort of... This is like... that episode of feature drama where Bender meets God. Maybe we can gleam this. That's exactly right. You were doing very well to everyone died. Oh, God, why does he sound like a pervert? We got magic coming out the wazoo.

I mean, I don't. I guess I won't help. You got some magic in you. You got some magic in you. Don't, no, no, don't. Look, look, look. I will show you the most. Amazing magic.

Have you got 12 hours in some snow? That's very funny. There's no time. What spell slot? It's the seventh. The makeup's wasting shot. What are you allowing, Mike? I bet it doesn't work.

It just eats the spell slot. I hope so. And the materials? No more, no. Oh, that would be... Oh, but that was put into... Yeah, we don't have access to it. We don't have access to it.

Persuasion, you say? 24. 24. You feel as if... You suddenly feel a shock as the eyes of this thing and that faint of... What do you hear? Magic.

As you feel almost electrified of this crackling arcane blue light. As you feel as if you feel as if you can cast any spell without material components and instantly. Oh, my. As an action. Oh, my God. I can't play this about that.

I will, feeling this. I'll begin to sing. Start to sing. Yeah, buddy. Should we pause the music? Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. You have to name it's Yumi and Duprice.

That's a two, three. I didn't plan a fart. ahead enough. I didn't think I was going to get this hard. Did you just think that's weird? I love that. That's very funny. That's amazing. The eyes are still this crackling arcane blue that they look towards you. I've been playing music here by your side. Me minus you is such a lonely ride. The music we share makes us such a good pair I realize I love you because you got my flare. Hey, hey, and you hear another voice suddenly out of nowhere.

A perfect chorus. I've been spent the evening made of dust and snow. I'm alive now thanks to your show. Your music was such a way of learning so much. I know now that I love you because. I'm your construct, hey, hey. Simulacrum, it feels so good. It's a perfect harmony.

Simulacrum, just cause we could. There's one for perfect bit, and Caprice, this one is it. We'll fight for the best outcome because we're simulacrum, hey, hey, hey. And I'm like holding hands with all of a sudden a shaped Caprice as we start spinning around each other like floating in the arcane magical end. Amazing.

And you are, he's holding your hands. And then as this large gashes form looms over you, he starts to get pulled away. And he looks very scared. Oh, no. Into this archim magic devouring gas. And he's in the face. It's done and looks horrified.

It looks like some of the virgin tears. Oh, my God. Toes grime. Toes zombing. Oh. It's okay. It's all right. Darling, you can make another one, right? It's okay.

Yeah, once a day. That didn't go exactly planned, but... Tada. Praise, that was... That was horrifying. But also very impressive. And amazing. Oh, it's so...

It's okay. It's okay. Your harmonies with yourself were quite lovely. That's what I was trying to tell you. It would have been worth 12 hours. Well, you've got to do. done in an instant. I know.

It's the magic of this place. It really thrums. What? Hell. He seemed quite vengeful. Yeah, he really gave it. Are you worried at all the next time you send him, you're going to have to pay the price? Yes.

Is he the same guy or is it a new one? I don't know. I guess we'll find out. What if he comes back in? Ever to get murdered by his Simulagra? No, that's simulagher shows up with an iPatch and a mouse. This is your fault. You do this to me.

Oh, my God. It depends on whether he's not, he's been killed horribly, or if he's just been sucks to another dimension. I mean, perhaps he's with Kabiri now. I've tried before that look he can suck to another dimension. Is that true? Hey.

The bat's like... The bat's like... Um, you... That was the seventh little spell? Yep. And I spent it. So I should probably mark it off on like caricature. And then you hear your voice, it's a bit louder now. Man, I'm really tapped out.

No. He's singing in a toxic mebula cloud for eternity. He's rendered. He just turned into magic and is like, be a peace. Do you think we need to give him more? I mean, that was a lot. That was a lot. You don't really have much more.

Is anyone wounded? I could use a little bit of juicy juice. I don't think you're going to get any of it, and I reach over and I cast your wounds at a first level on Toa. You reach out, first level? Yeah, that's all I've got. You reach out and you, the warm sand goes out of your paw

and you're expecting to cover the wounds, but you see immediately it's like sand in the wind in a sandstorm. It whips away and another passing gas clasp. as it consumes and it lights up a more, lights up more. The eyes glow with a golden light now as you... The spell slot. Do we feel constrained by our normal cast now,

like Caprician is the only one that was able to cast it? No, no, it's all the same rules, but you still do limited by just by spellsline. I think mechanically, maybe he needs like 10 levels worth of spell slots with some other level. So I still have to have the spell slot available. Yes. Okay, I'm saving my seventh. I really don't want to bowl that. No, no, I think that it's totally right that it would be,

ninth being the highest level of spell. One, seven, we're at eight. All we need is the first level of a level spell. And if that doesn't work, then we'll just fucking, I don't know. I take, I say, okay, hold on. And I sit down in for 10 minutes. I cast alarm like right in front of me then after 10 minutes gets up I stand up

I look at the eye and I walk through it and everybody hears an alarm go off Bees ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-ha-ha-ha. It's kind of like static. Rit rules on right out. Waking up. Well, I've always wanted to do this just for, you know,

all the times you kept me awake all night long. and you're singing so early in the morning and your perpetual chipperness and that cats have been on all three of them. How could you ask? It's first. It's all I've got left. You channel the once again that the cursed mummy bindings

a blast out of you and immediately they are whipped like if they are caught cut in a hurricane and they spiral around away from all three of them as they circle into the gas and get disintegrated and evaporated as the eyes turn to a deep, dark green as that is nine spell slots.

And you... I just wanted to do this. And immediately... That could have really hurt me. We knew it wasn't going to work. We didn't know that. You had seen perhaps several dozen eyes and then suddenly like twinkling stars

coming in the night shit. You see eye after eye after eye appear as they all circle around you as all the eyes turn to this bright pink light and suddenly as the eyes don't move blinking into existence directly before you are two small child-sized eyes as you as you as you hear in your voice Maybe they're gonna grant us a vision? Like a sight, be on sight? I don't know.

We could peek at anywhere in the mortal world, or we could find out what maybe. It's not a bad idea. We certainly could. Do we each get to see something, or one coming or vision? Do we each get to see something? And then you realize,

there are eyes all over you, the cluster that is near you turns on you feel, the cluster that is near you, you shins you and you all see clusters of eyes as they turn to the respective colors that are on the overlay and on the miniatures that respond to the colors of the characters. Wow!

Color coding. As the eyes shift to that color and you hear once again, what do you wish to see? My color is blue. Well, I guess Felix already took red, that makes sense. If we all have a chance, then I know what I want to see. Oh, go ahead.

Can you do that when you're alone? I mean, you all just saw nude Caprice get sucked to hell, so... Oh, he wasn't wearing clothes? No, that's another caveat of this. Oh my God. He didn't have any of my magic items. He's not a perfect clone. It's really cold. Um...

I guess Asperadus watches you poop. That's not all he sees. He sees everything. It's just disgusting. He's seen it all. Who? What more is there? Um, uh, Kiberi.

We've got a lot of important stuff to see, but I want to see someone I care about a lot. Our name is Herja Andalert. I just want to make sure she's okay. The eyes are pulse and pulse. Was that to you? Oh, I think we all have to register our, like getting the queue. I don't know. Oh, like we all have to decide now before you've seen what you've seen.

you saw? I want to see Brother Gruber. I want to know that he's okay in Kirsteinin. And all the monks, but mostly Brother Gruber. What's so funny, Toa? I just can't stop thinking about how Dupreece got them. Glob shit out. As no footed in chat. Dupreeze. Oh, poor, or Dupreece. Do we think that this mission is going to give us a glimpse of the future?

Oh. You can try. I don't, if the master watching can't look into the future or the best, you're really smart. Not a master at all.

Well, I have an idea, but it, I don't like get away our plant. Oh, yeah. What do you wish to say? Be careful who we speak to. Dang. I really don't know that.

I'm worried if I asked my vision, it might mess things up. Well, don't risk it. Okay. Stay safe. I think I have to see how, I've seen so many terrible visions of what could be or the doom that's to come. Yeah, take a drink.

It'd be nice to know what it actually is like right now, with Makutu defeated and the wind spirit safe. Either that or... Maybe we can see what happened in the breeze. Maybe he's in a middle place. I won't know if he's dead. I have no connection or anything. He could still be alive.

He probably got like fucking Thorangorock or whatever. But maybe it was like in Estella. He goes into the black hole, but he survives it okay. Yeah. And he's watching us right now, like, in a bookcase or something? Well, he's somewhere in horrific pain and agony. Do we want to know that? Because we can't unknow it.

He knows everything that I know, so if he finds himself in that position, He could triple P and weigh right out of it. Oh, no. Oh, God. He's dead. I hope he's dead. I hope he's dead. This whole campaign.

Four years of planning. Shit. Well, they doesn't have a soul. Maybe he's useless. It's a P, ma'am. That's fair. This is too much. I would like to you as the god of this world.

Do I feel like, do I feel like we're winning these, these demons over? or at least they're going along with what we believe our plan to be. And then I could ask a question without like... Making our comment check of advantage.

15. I rolled double fives. Unbelievable. I would say that there... With the at which you had communicated with Pale Knight, with Kazarvindexis, and with Kaviri,

you get the sense that the parasite inside of Caprice is something that they are registered. Okay. And you're getting the sense that this is something that they are appreciative of whatever you're doing. Fuck, I wanna ask like something from the future, you can see if they can do, you can do it. I was either thinking like, what happens

if we successfully rebuild Robinovia or what happens if, if... pretty successful delivers the kiss. Was my two ideas. And I don't know if that's like two. I'm asking from a, I'm medigamer-gamer-game right now. I'm curious what you think. I think those both wonderful ideas, Felix.

Are we all gonna role play this? No, we can't, I'm going to. I'm just, I don't want to fuck this out. We don't have to. You have to, we have to, we have to. We don't have to RP this. Some people are playing bingo get that, that's great. We don't have to arpe this.

Oh, I don't care about it. Um, okay. I want to know, I want a vision of what happens if we successfully retrieve all of the body parts of Ravanaughia. Is that measure? Yeah. Since the one of your pick, man.

That's my vision. That's what I want. If you can do it. What do you wish to see? Did you already go? I did, in the Kami Islands. I just want to see how they're doing. Right. Um, I would like to see little Thomas.

and Sikette want to make sure he arrived safely and that he's all right. And daddy, too? You could have asked for that you chose not to. Let's keep your eyes out of my vision. And probably daddy. Just turn this way. Duffdy.

She turns a devil ma'am. What do you wish us? That was all of us. That was the final. Oh, no. Batsy boy. Come on. What a Posa?

The Macami Islands. Oh, geez. Do we get an extra vision if I come back with a huge barrel of icing? What? icing? Vicing. Oh, vizene. You say that weird.

Vicing? Vizine? Vizene? Like, magazine? Yeah. Is it vizene or vizene? Vising. It's vizene.

Vizene. Vizene? I think it's vizine. Why would it be vicing? I guess it could be either. It is spelled S-I-N-E, but it's said visibly vizine. The one rule of English is that there are no rules. That's right.

Immediately the eyes all flash and your vision is completely blinded in these wells of darkness as Kiberi, the watching master fills your mind. You see now as Herzia and Torval in the Grizzalpaw Mountains looking up on a black sky with a roaring eclipse above, as dark wings are taking to the sky descending upon them. You see as eagles, hawks, all manner of birds are descending the other townspeople, as people are running through the streets trying to take cover. You see Hersia whip her flail around.

She manages to smash several of these birds as they begin to grow and mutate and get larger as they start to sprout through more eyes. As the vision shifts, as you see a servant withholding a crying tummy, as running through the palace, as the doors are barred, as you see the windows overhead, the enormous eclipse,

as dozens of ibises, but with extremely elongated bills and large talons where their webbed feet are flying towards until two tobacco-se guard are able to slam the window shut. As you hear loud slam and a crush. You see as the Stoutman Highlands of Kirstein, the monks are in a random, around the monastery as these, as standing beside him is Amos with a sword,

standing as these savage bird monsters fly in as they are slicing them down. And you see Brother Gruber as an enormous golden eagle, twice as large as one should be, swoops down, and he whips up and breaks its neck, in a single motion, as you see the monks attacking, as you see Toa across the sea, a plume of a billowing, rolling storm cloud

of seagulls and seabirds, coming from the sea, descending upon the Makani Islands, with the eclipse raging overhead, monstrous and shrieking as the sea-chell horns are being called, as the drums are banging, as people are grabbing weapons and going to fight. And you see that across all of Aventras, the sun is eclipsed as the birds of Aventrists

are being corrupted by the power of Pizzou. The peoples are trying to defend themselves and they have not turned into demons yet. But this is a war, perhaps the first sign of the apocalypse. The second sign, I guess, the first one being the eclipse. The second one being all of the plague of the birds. And you finally see a fully formed Ravanovia. And as the Ravanovia, her black ringlets maintained,

her eyes open, life returned, not a vampire's life, but that of a child. As in one moment you blink and you see an enormous, bloated, blue-skinned woman with horrible tentacles and eyes filled with pain as a spear of flesh and carapace pierce into her as she sinks beneath a hissing, salting sea. And suddenly you are ripped back and you are in the wells of eternity as the eyes of Kabiri, the watching master,

I'll shine on you and then blink out one after another. As you all feel a humming magic crackling all around you, you all gain plus two intelligence and you all are level 17. Oh, wow. And Zat is where we'll end this one. Yeah. Gee.

What's fucking. Holy God. Is it plus two? It's yeah. Jeez. Oh my Lord. To intelligence he said? Wow.
