Starting point is 00:00:12 Hey, it's Brian Possein. Nerd Poker. We're calling it... The Fog Campaign. My friends are here. Chris, Blaine, Ken, engineer Sam, and of course,
Starting point is 00:00:26 our kick-ass DM, Dan Telfer. Welcome to Nerd Poker. Hey, everybody. It's Brian Pesan. You're listening to NerdPoker. It's episode 73 of the Fog Campaign. We might not die. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:00:45 Let's see what Dan has left for us. That would be at first. Yeah. That's Chris. Hi. Ken is here. Things are improving. Dan is here.
Starting point is 00:01:00 I'm waiting for episode 74 when all the fingers are up the ass. I made a vlog to Seagull's joke off the air about your hair, but your hair actually looks really fucking awesome. It's super. That's a look eye. love in the 80s. I got rocked that. It's a little more of love.
Starting point is 00:01:20 It's a little more. No, it's like 1986 Tony Hawk pretty much. It's pretty cool. He's about to glean the cube. You are going to gleam the cube. You are going to gleam the shit out of the cube. Say out of the other Thompson twins for us. Gleaming his cube from the cool parts of town.
Starting point is 00:01:37 It's Sam, everybody. Hello, sweet children. I love you through a gleam in a cube at the top of an episode. which me and a good man. That is one of those movies that if it's on, I will watch. I know this not on everybody's list. Where would it be on? Well, anywhere.

Starting point is 00:04:03 It's now time to talk about what happened last time on nerd poker. That's me almost doing the voice. So, things are going well for the ding-dong danglers. now when you do two episodes in a row Dan's voice gets to go out a little vacation so um my pharynx says you're welcome if you look at our little map that we have on Roll 20
Starting point is 00:04:29 I can relate it to listeners you're in this giant chamber slowly uh I'm not not slowly at all very quickly filling with water it's massive and the entire ocean has been roaring into it it's massive enough that a huge Leviathan an ancient being that is currently possessed by the spirit of Caius in an undead fashion, has been attacking you, formerly ridden by the Litch Thief Queen,
Starting point is 00:04:55 who is now scattered bones upon the water surface. You think it's about two turns, more like a turn and a half at this point, but it's not long before the water actually reaches the top of the chamber. So before long, the Leviathan is going to be slashing around with its head down. All of its tentacles are ripped off. And the only person who is down is a nearly dead glug in the gullet of the Leviathan, who somehow made it through all of episode 72, but is not looking good. He made, you know, he made it up.
Starting point is 00:05:34 But things are dark in the gullet. He did attack the insides, but none of you could really see what was happening. It is a brave battle he is fighting currently unconscious. We just had Brian go at the top of the turn order, and it is the Leviathan's turn. He's going to cast lightning strike at Chris. Not once but twice. Aye, aye, aye.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Can I get a dexterity saving throw? Indeed, dexterity save. 18 plus 4 is 22. Is that enough? No, I'm afraid it is not. I'm going to invoke something. I have a thing. Not universal speech, I wish, favored by the gods.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Once per short rest, if you fail a saving throw or miss with an attack roll, you can roll 2D4 and add it to the total, possibly changing the outcome. Well, if you looked in the roll 20 scroll, it says DC saving throw 23, so you missed it by 1. If you roll 2D4, I mean, you're welcome to, but that's going to be an automatic success. The lowest you could get is... Dan, don't jinx it. Hoo! So 28.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Yes. You succeed. This will be half damage of the massive amount of lightning damage about to crash into the debris you're standing on. 31, so we'll down it to 15. And Dan, what did you say that was? How much? 15. 15.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Total. I'm going to use my last spell slot, or sorry, my last first level spell slot, and cast absorb elements. So I can capture some of the incoming damage. Okay. I have resistance to the triggering type of damage for, until the start of my next turn. So that halves it again, I believe.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yes. So they'll take you down to seven points. Seven. Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on my next turn, so if I do that, the target takes an extra D6 damage of the triggering type. So I'm so, I'm literally, I think for a moment I'm kind of glowing with electricity. Oh, shit. And if I physically attack, there will be some electricity to that.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Why don't, as you see this lightning, a hit, you're all going to be aware this guy's pretty beat up the Leviathan. Can I get an insight check from everybody? He should also take a dexterity saving throw. And that is, because it's the end of his turn? No, because of my fire a spell. When does he take it at the end of his turn?
Starting point is 00:08:31 At the end of his turn, yeah. Okay. Was that an insight, Dan? Yes, an insight check for you, a dexterity saving throw for him. Oh, right. He got 12. I believe that is a fail. Yes, and I got an eight insight, which is also a fail.
Starting point is 00:08:49 You don't know what's going on. Oh, insight. Does he dig more damage? 10. 13 points. Fire crackles across his neck. As he rocks, he up his bow. Did anyone get an 18 or higher insight?
Starting point is 00:09:13 22. Yay! I got a 19. Teacher's pet. You get? Yeah, Blaine's a teacher's pet. Chris got the more pure dice roll because it wasn't so braggie. No.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Hey man, these dice are pure. Those rocks. So both of you can tell that it's a bit of a race against time now. Will you kill the Leviathan before the chamber fills with water? have to start making sure you're going to be placed for the hole in the ceiling. Or is he going to somehow survive and make it out into the ocean even? I'm going to draw a circle of where the hole is. Now that you can all see it.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And so this is in the ceiling. And it is currently... No more room down there. Not easily reachable. We can all see it to the north a bit. Oh, okay, there it is. Oh, so that's the center of the room, essentially. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Got it. Okay. So. If you guys had swum farther. For the listener... Before the fight started, I would have placed it closer. The Leviathan's like 85 feet south. Ryan is like 50 feet south.
Starting point is 00:10:48 And he would never fit. He's the closest. He's going to have to, if he escapes, make it out through the rupture that is bringing the water in. But you guys would probably not survive trying to swim out of a fissure in this chamber that big, that deep in the water. Your best bet of surviving is to get under that hole. And with a 22 plane, you would be able to piece together, you might just shoot out of this hole. Like this thing might straight up just like with all the water pressure. sure and you guys could get shot up the little slide that you came down cool sort of like
Starting point is 00:11:30 willie wonka style yeah sort of like willie wonka style you festus gloop um all right that's gonna take us to ken wait no no i'm jumping ahead what am i doing that was the end of leviathan's turn it's It's Blaine's turn. I'm still witch bolting, so he's going to take another D12. Roll that D12, blah, blah, blah. With your bonus action. 11. Love it.
Starting point is 00:12:03 He crackles with energy. Man. You guys are doing so much damage on him. And I'm going to, uh, uh, is anybody dead or floating in the water that needs help? We're all, we're all, have some hit points, right? Glug is dying in its stomach. Glove the Kuatua. Yeah, if we can figure out a way to pull him out somehow.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I can't think of how outside of kill this thing and then try. You did. You may remember, yeah, like attack his sternum fin. Okay. So, I'm just going to stay around, I guess. Oh, okay. Nothing else do you want to do with your action, though? your movement?
Starting point is 00:12:49 Remember, you got to get to a hole in a couple of turns. Yeah, okay, I'll start, I'll do 30 feet to the north up here. Okay. Sounds tasty. Then yes. Chris, you're up. Interesting. Um...
Starting point is 00:13:16 Oh, sorry, you know, I'm going to stay within 30 feet of this guy. Oh, if you want to keep your witch bolt going. Yeah, keep the wishbowl going. Okay. I'll allow it. But you won't yourself, McCoy. Dan? Chris.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Just a hypothetical. Let's finally talk about it. Dan, one of the spells in my repertoire is called polymorph. Here's my... I love looking up a spell like this. So here's my question.
Starting point is 00:13:51 The Leviathan is a creature that I could polymorph. However, Inside this Leviathan, is there still another creature? Yes. So the guy inside would not somehow littleify in, like let's say I turned it into like, you know, a shark. The glug would not become small enough to fit inside a shark. Right?
Starting point is 00:14:31 You're asking, would he still fit inside a shark if you shrunk into a shark? Yeah. The answer is no, right? So would that sort of be like setting off a glug bomb inside of an animal? Do you know what I mean? Like if polymorph is, if I use polymorph to turn the thing into something smaller than glug. And glug is still a creature that is. not affected by polymorph.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I'm wondering if I can weaponize polymorph. I will, right. Here's the thing. If you take the thing down to zero hit points, it turns back into the thing, but still takes all that damage. So I'm wondering if there's a way like, how much would that work is using
Starting point is 00:15:21 Blugas a bomb inside of a creature to burst out of it? And if so, how much damage would that be? Because that's what I want to transfer to the Levi. Right. I'll let you do an Arcana or Insight check, your choice. Arcana or Insight. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I'll frame around either the magical limitations or the general. Yeah, yeah. I will go with Insight for the listener. Okay. Plus six. Ooh, 16. It would be a balance. I can't say exactly what size a creature it would be,
Starting point is 00:15:58 but you would probably want it to be a creature small enough that it would like violently vomit out Glug. But it wouldn't be too small so it would, so Glugge would like explode out of it, take away all the hit points of the creature, and then he would just turn back into a Leviathan. You'd want him to like stay a damaged shark. Right. But again, just, I'm sorry to take up so much time. But for the sake of argument, let's say I turned into like, let's say I turned into a rat. A rat is like two hit points.
Starting point is 00:16:35 But you mitigate, uh, actually because the thing, like what happens is when as soon as he changes, that's when the damage is rolled and we find out how much does the rat take. Whatever goes past killing the rat goes towards the Leviathan. That's why I'm saying like if Dan says, oh, I guess that'd probably be like,
Starting point is 00:16:54 I don't know, I'm picking a number at random. 50 hit points worth of damage. and I put it on a rat for a moment that thing would turn into a rat immediately explode
Starting point is 00:17:04 like in Peter Heim's 1981 classic Outland, except it's John Ratsenberger. And then, like, yes, you would go back to being a Leviathan,
Starting point is 00:17:16 but a leviathan that just took 48 points of damage inside its wee wee tummy. Or I don't know. Again, up to you to mitigate. Here's what I'll say. If you would roll
Starting point is 00:17:27 a little bit, higher on the inside check, I would tell you more clearly what the risk would be for him with taking damage during the polymorph thing. But you would think with the 16, there is a chance that something catastrophically bad for the Leviathan would happen to the Leviathan if you turned him into a rat. Right. And I'm hoping, I mean, magic being magic and me strumming my loot is as, as, as, uh, elfingly and fairy-like as I can.
Starting point is 00:18:03 I don't want to kill Glug. I want Glug to keep... He's been alive. I think he's... I think this is the reason why. I'm going to do that. I'm going to polymorphit into... Let's be clear.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Let's be the funniest animal of the size you want. Funniest animal by size? All right. Oh, boy. Okay, there's monster. Let's go to tiny wee beasts. So I'm looking at a list of CR Zero Beasts, Baboon Badger, Bat, Cat, Crab, deer.
Starting point is 00:18:45 These are all things you would have seen? Eagle Frog, giant fire beetle goat. Anybody see here something they like? Is there a naked mole rat? Oh, I'll go to page two. A naked mole rat Lizard A mole rat or mole rat?
Starting point is 00:19:05 There is a rat Maybe Dan Could we morph it into a naked mole rat Just for funsies? Yeah, absolutely Well I thought to you, I don't know I'm so tempted to make you
Starting point is 00:19:16 Roll in nature check to see if you've seen a naked mole rat in a wild before But I will allow it It's too fun for me to be that stupid So please feel free to are you going it's going to polymorph
Starting point is 00:19:30 uh all right so polymorph it into an ancient black dragon he has to make a wisdom saving throat or he will shape shift into a naked mole rat and my DC is
Starting point is 00:19:42 17 god damn you Dan 24 oh well well it's fun well lasted I mean you could try again it would be really funny I'm sorry to take up so much fucking
Starting point is 00:19:58 How many spell slots do you have left? I have one more fourth level spell slot, one more fifth level spell slot. I'll fucking that's all I can do. No luck points, nothing. Oh, I can, no, that's an action. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:20:13 All right. Yeah, I'm such a, I wanted to see it. Oh, no, I already used my special thing to not get set on fire without electricity thing, yeah. I'm going to alter self Okay To an aquatic form
Starting point is 00:20:31 Okay Um Say a Well, it can be a shark I'll be a shark Cool Well I guess it No, that's not an animal
Starting point is 00:20:45 I sprout gills and grow webs between my fingers I can breathe underwater and gain a swim speed Equal to my speed That's what I did, yeah Okay Underwater Club Oh fun You guys should swim around each other
Starting point is 00:21:03 And make like a heart And also Yeah What I was going to say Are you swimming north? What's the deal with you? Yeah I will enjoy The
Starting point is 00:21:15 Another fire attack on him From the Immolation And then Head towards the thing he makes Bobber. Okay. What's your passive insight?
Starting point is 00:21:37 17. He would get an opportunity attack if he swam away. Right. Unless he used your action to disengage. Instead of... You know what? I think, well, but that will that cancel out my fire spell? No, that's a concentration. and is alter self concentration?
Starting point is 00:22:05 I don't know about that, but I can alter self later. I'll just, uh, let's see. Uh, I don't have a little like, uh, alter myself. Alter self is, uh, concentration, yes. So I will not alter self. I will instead chromatic orb him again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Also with fire. And that's a 13. It's a miss. No. But do you? Yeah. There's their
Starting point is 00:22:44 bonus action thing you do. He takes the residual immolate damage at the end of his turn, not yours. So. Oh, I thought it kept. I thought it was each turn. Right. Okay. I don't, I'm not really sure.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I thought he made a saving throw at the end of his turn. Oh, okay. Got it. That is the more specific version of what I go up to combat. Ken, you might need to look that up. Well, it says at the end of each turn, but it also, I guess the primary attack has the main damage. 86 fire damage, 46 fire damage at the end of targets turned. Yeah, so at the end of his, so I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything else to do on your turn.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I'll just disengage and head towards the hole. Nice. All right. Well, Jan, you disengage? Do you have that as a bonus action? Because you used your action to Chromatic Orb. Oh. Then, no.
Starting point is 00:23:45 You can swim away, but he will try to bite you. I'll just stay here then. All right. Because he will probably try to bite me anyway. True. All right. The things are looking bad for glug. He is going.
Starting point is 00:24:02 If he critz this, there's a slight chance. He comes climbing out, that'd be the coolest fucking hell. Nope. Two successes, but he's going to take his third fail at the end of his turn from all the acid damage. And glug is no more. Oh, no. I really wanted him to Boba Fett out of there. That would have been fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:32 I know. That would have been cool. Fucking dice. All right. That's going to then be Lil Peepers' turn. Woo-hoo! Let loose another arrow. And that's going to whiff.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Son of a shit! He says, and he is going to dive in the water and start making his way towards the hole. Ryan, you're up. Okay. I'm going to use the short bow again. Okay No
Starting point is 00:25:16 That was a nine No thank you Sorry You still have that Partic inspiration I don't know what you need to hit But you've got a D8 in your pocket If you want
Starting point is 00:25:25 Okay let's try it then Oh shit I rolled two by accident Sorry I didn't even see Just pick the higher one Sweet Yeah that's not it works I'm telling anybody
Starting point is 00:25:40 Nice 14 a hit No huh No I'm afraid not. Okay. We're 15 a hit. Wait, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:52 What was it originally? You got a 6? Yeah, I had a 9, right? Yeah, 15. It's still not now. You need 18. Okay. Yep.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Sorry. I tried. Do you want to swim towards a hold? Got a bonus action? Yeah, yeah. Let's do it. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Watch window. Right. And then that's going to take us. He is going to try to bite 10. Sorry, buddy. I'm sure it'll be fine. 35 to hit? No, not even close.
Starting point is 00:26:34 I'll say it for you, Dan. I'll say it for you, Dan. Fuck you, Dan. No, all right. 26 points of yours damage. He's not dead. He's unconscious, you dramatic, dramatic nerds. All right, so, yeah, the teeth rip through you and you're now bleeding out in the water.
Starting point is 00:26:56 It's ugly. I'm sure it'll be fine. Wayne, you're up. I'm going to keep witch bolting him. It's another D12. All right. It's a nine. Oh, he's like, he's like shudders and struggles to stay conscious.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Okay. I'm going to head towards Ken. Where's Ken? He is about, what is that, 60 feet south of you? 45 feet. Okay, I'm going to head for Ken. Okay. How many swim?
Starting point is 00:27:39 I think I could do 30 because I used my versus speed earlier. That looks about right. But do you have any more potions? I do. Okay. And you are still 10 feet away. You still have an action, I think. Okay, well then I'm going to check my email.
Starting point is 00:28:06 What a choice. I don't think there's anything else I could do, right? If I'm, if... You have an action. Can't you attack them? I can dash? You could dash and get to 10, but not really be able to do anything. You could also attack the...
Starting point is 00:28:20 Well, I'm still, I still have the witch bolt thing that I did. But that was your bonus action. You still have full action, which means you can do a whole shitload of stuff. Catfish, man. We need you. You know, oh, if I'm that close, then I'm going to go up and hit it with my bloodshed blade. Oh, what the fuck is that? Remind us what the bloodshed blade is, Blaine.
Starting point is 00:28:50 The bloodshed blade, I do plus two. I can add my hit dice to an attack. and add the hit dice to to the damage once per day. Fuck. I'm not sure exactly how that works. Maybe Dan will walk me through it. Yeah, well, let's see.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Let me pull you up on the old... And I can do a sneak attack on that because I'm using a finesse weapon and I have finesse with the short sword. Alas, I don't think so. The only other person in melee is unconscious. I don't need a bit of... advantage on the attack if at least one of my allies
Starting point is 00:29:29 has been five feet of the target the ally is incapacitated. If he's incapacitated, no. Okay. But I am looking at you on D&D beyond just to try to find your hit dice. I think Rogue is a D8, right?
Starting point is 00:29:48 D8, yeah. All right, so you would just add a D8. Was it to your attack or to your damage that said your hit dice? Add hit dice to my attack and add the dice to damage. I don't think it's one. I think he can sacrifice his hit dice.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I think that's why it's a blood sword. Do you know what I mean? Like normally to heal you have eight hit dice, and instead he's giving those up. So he's giving up the ability to heal himself when we heal to add. I think that's why it's like blood sword. You're using your own fish catmagnum. It does say you can spend and roll one of your unspent hit dice.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Just one? Oh, my mistake. I'm sorry. Alas. So, you can add it to the attack roll. Do you want to roll that attack roll? I will. 17 plus, yeah, I guess that's 17, unless I have.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Why, aren't you going to roll that hit dice? Or did you already? No, that was it. And I roll a hit dice. How do I do that? Do I just add a hit dice? Or do I roll a D8? Roll a D8 and add the D8.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Ooh. Seven. That's a hit. So 24. That's a hit. Roll your damage with the bloodshed blade. And that does 1D6 plus two constitutional damage. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I think it's, it says on D&Bion, on 1d6 plus 4. Okay, so it's 4 plus 4 is 8. How would you like to see the Leviathan die? I would like to see it go. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then he morphs back into nerdy, he turns from Buddy Love back into Jerry Lewis
Starting point is 00:32:02 and then sinks below the waves. If I failed my undead fortitude savings, I'd do the same thing. Fucking secret origin, Blaine. Holy cow. Leviathan is gone. Can I get an insight check from everybody? Wow.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Now I'm unconscious. I'm going to say that... Can anybody help our friend Ken? You're just spending that potion and roll the healing dice. You were already intending to get Ken. 21. All I have left is a superior healing potion, which is 8D4 plus 8. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I don't think you hate that. Yeah. But also I heard you got a 21 for insight? I don't see it. I got a 21 for insight, yes. You don't see what? My insight did that thing where it disappeared on my board, so I didn't see what I got. It's a plus two.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Let me see in the game log, yeah. It says you rolled a seven. Okay, so fuck it. Nice. Oh, you rolled a 5 plus two, unfortunately. Oh, okay. So,
Starting point is 00:33:10 I'm going to be that creep. All right. You're not a creep. Me yielding to the true value of numbers. Ugh, what a number. No one had to know. What do you got to say?
Starting point is 00:33:23 What was the rest of your insight, Jucks, buddies? I only heard Brian and Blame for some reason. Oh, I'm so sorry. And 28 points. Oh, my God. Thank you. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:33:34 I got a natural. I got a nine insight. All right, none of you are sure the best way to get to the hole, except that you need to get to the hole. All right, let's start swamming. Yeah, I mean, it seems like as it rises, we can kind of discuss this as we're swamming. We should definitely try and get towards it,
Starting point is 00:33:58 but as it rises, we're going to sort of naturally be pushed towards it as we go. Yes. Yes. Well, the water is rising quickly, and as you are sort of implying, there's a curvature to the ceiling, which means the water's rising faster and faster pushing you
Starting point is 00:34:15 towards the high point, the opening. Can I get an athletics check to make sure you all get right in the hole together and you're not going to like smash against the ceiling as the water rushes up? 16 plus 218. That's a success. I'm looking for 16. Dan, as we're doing this, I wonder if I can cast Bless to help everybody out.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Yes, you can. Awesome. And you can also kick it. Yes. That means everybody gets to add for the next minute, as long as I maintain concentration, you can add a D4 to any attack roll or saving throw. Well, I rolled at one minus one, so I'm going to use a luck. At least one luck so far. What did you get Blaine?
Starting point is 00:35:12 I got a 16 plus 2, 18. What did you get, Brian? What was it? It showed up. No shit. I couldn't hear you, Brian. What was that? Did you see it?
Starting point is 00:35:23 I did not. It disappeared. Much better. I got a 19. Nice. 20 minus. It was a natural 20 minus one. Ah, I see you got an 8.
Starting point is 00:35:38 So that's going to be from, for Lil Peepers and Brian, you're going to take 1d6 bludgeoning damage. Ooh. As you smack into the roof of the chamber, it'll be four points of bludgeoning damage. Okay. It's going to take little peepers down pretty low and he'll be like, I'm okay. But yes, then you'll be able to hit the ceiling.
Starting point is 00:36:11 I kind of bounce your way towards everyone else because you've had a full turn to get underneath the hole. can I get a dexterity savings row as the water starts to rocket you up. You all gather together tight and grip each other, but as the water pressure pushes up through this hole, the entire ocean that has seeped into the chamber is now being forced through this tiny 15 foot wide and then 10 foot wide and then 8 foot wide and then 5 feet wide hole.
Starting point is 00:36:43 It gets smaller as you go up, water pressure going faster. You're all trying to hold on to each other. 19. There you go. 16 plus 3. Nice. Looking for more 16s.
Starting point is 00:36:55 What's the rest of y'all's got? 21. Sorry, what was this role? The 30 saving throw. Little people's got 20. Don't forget you got a blast. You have a D4. Cool.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Thank you. I had 12 plus 8. 20. There you go. Dirty 20. Uh, Yes. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Cats love being forced through tiny little. Ten. Oh. Ten? Yeah. Maybe I'll use a luck and try it again. Oh, this might be a good time. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:37:36 I'd say no pressure, but literally the pressure of an entire ocean is up in your asshole, so I'll go on. Nice. Wait a minute. Oh, Ken, save it. I want to try that again. Yeah, save it. What is it? Dex, you said, yes.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Dex Savings Row. Yes. That is the same. I will use my last luck point. Oh. Oh, Jesus. Are you using the Bless as well? It didn't matter.
Starting point is 00:38:03 My God. I just wrote three sevens in a row. Huh. I used my Bless. No dice. Wow. You all feel Shalab break loose from your cluster. as you all rock it up.
Starting point is 00:38:21 You are moving so fast, it's impossible to grip the walls, to tumble out of the way. And you all, including Ken, are going to take four more points of bludgeoning damage as you not just shoot up out of the hole, but you went in a hole in the ground inside a wooden shack,
Starting point is 00:38:46 and you just rock it up and smash through the ceiling of this wooden shack. For a moment, all of you are going so fast up through the air. You can't even keep track of what's happening. You all sort of blink, use your passive insight, and look. You slow to a stop about 100 feet in the air, and all of you can see Ken is about like 60 feet away from you. and then you are just about to descend 100 feet onto the city of Delsmith. You can see beneath you.
Starting point is 00:39:25 The fog is rolling over it still. It has not quite dissipated yet. Buildings poking up out of the fog here and there. Will you land and splat in the city? We'll have to find out the next episode of NerdPoker. Good Lord. Hey, you guys, if you'd like to check out the other project, I'm trying to murder my friends.
