Starting point is 00:02:19 Moon Chant Sibon. Rosalines, Rhyder Dye. Who's stolen the roles to make sure we survive. Yeah, whoa! Brute, my goodness. We are pumped tonight, and we've got Caldwell Tanner here as well. Ooh, it's gotta be Beverly Toggle, the fifth mind-freaker of giants.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Ooh, ain't that the truth? I can't wait for the fan art of Beverly as Chris Angel. Man, I wish that nothing was wrong in Galator later on because then these guys would have gotten to see me do my street magic Street magic stand up. What can it's good minor elution? My goodness and Jake Jake you got a little bit of a cult. So if hard one sounds I Jake is sick hard one is fine Okay, I'm gonna stop in the fridge ignore it's not sick. Yeah Hard one sounds. Jake is sick, hard one is fine. Okay. Hard one comes from a harder stop. In the frigid north, not sick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:08 She's not even wearing gloves. Has hard one ever been sick? Yeah, diarrhea ones. From too many sliders. But all the arcane really stops him. Inglater on. All right guys, let's do a little recap. So last week, you guys continued your trek
Starting point is 00:03:25 through the frigid north with the hill giant Huey. After losing your way and not finding the winter wolf tower at the brink of exhaustion, you murdered him and took a nap inside. I'm gonna say it was a few weeks. I'm gonna say it was a little bit boring. I'm gonna style that. There's like, it's a really murder.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's a recap, but it's also sort of like an enmonishment. Yeah, yeah. Listen, we did what was necessary. I mean, is it murder if you save someone from being murdered? And then murder that's right. You couldn't have brought them to the tower. That's for sure. He might have grown up to be giant Hitler. No, but he was also getting murdered. We saved him from all right, and perhaps gave him a slightly more comfortable death by putting the bag of holding over his head and snuffing out the spark alive. We did do that. Again, giant Hitler though, just Hitler, but really big. That could have been him.
Starting point is 00:04:13 You all vowed never to speak of it again, then headed off eventually finding the first tower. Once there, you were greeted by a winter wolf newbie, who brought you to meet the leader after you showed him a giant's head and proved your worth. The leader was a grizzled dwarf with an axe wound across his face who went by the name Ernim. After losing the hard one in a dick measuring contest, featuring some substantial help from moonshine and battle. It was a minor illusion. Got your back and your front. I rolled a fucking 18 guys. The horn was sounded and the tower was alerted to approaching giants
Starting point is 00:04:51 Hill giants then charged the tower some riding mammoths and you guys along with Ernam and the winter wolves met them on the battlefield After a long a battle that saw a bale or a gourd stomped and nearly killed, you prevailed and earned him offer to let you stay for the night. He gave you information on how to reach Mount Forge quickly by navigating the noles tunnels in the valley of the frigid death. He warned you that there was a gargantuan purple worm in the valley that hunted at night and not to mess with it.
Starting point is 00:05:24 And the noles worship it. And the noles worship it. Then explained that it that hunted at night and not to mess with it. And the Knowles worship it. And the Knowles worship it. Then explained that it only hunted at night because the Knowles feed it during the day. He updated your map with the location of a cave and habited by a knowle named Abastien, who is a quote unquote friend of the winter wolves in so much as he's willing to lead them through the tunnels safely. Should they pay him and butter him up. But Ernum also warned you that Bastion is a fuck.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Does he run the Nolthol? I guess he could say he runs the Nolthol at the Nolthol. The next morning, Ernum. Our school is this Nolthol. You'll find out perhaps. I can't wait. The next morning, Ernum gave you guys some rams to navigate the rocks of the valley and you guys headed off into the frigid death.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Oh, that means that we got fistfuls of ram hair right now. Cause I know they don't have appropriate saddles. What's everybody's rams name? Mine's a ram, Daniel. Ooh, okay. Mine is ram a Dan. Oh, holy day, okay.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Mine's Ryan. Ryan, yeah, yeah. Oh Holy day, okay Mons Ryan Ryan Ryan is the big dumb ram of course forward Ryan Just kind of set like he is moving forward. So you're still going as fast as these other guys But he's jumping horizontally. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense.
Starting point is 00:06:49 It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense.
Starting point is 00:06:57 It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. It makes sense. the ground actually. It's still early in the day.
Starting point is 00:07:06 The sun is shining brightly. This area of the tundra is much easier to navigate because at one point a river joins the valley and you're able to just kind of follow it. But keeping your distance as to not be spotted out in the open. Is it a frozen river? You know, like water that you'd see like some penguins
Starting point is 00:07:22 going, it's got like icy flows. Flows of water with of water with some icy chunks and I do a check for penguins Dido okay, um go if you guys are gonna go out in the middle by the river um are you gonna be stealthy? Yeah, oh, I'm not gonna fucking get We were just gonna go in at the river Yeah, I was gonna go in at the river I'll do a roll if you see any penguins Is it just majestic? Shout out to the two crew.
Starting point is 00:07:46 There are no penguins. Two penguins. Two out of a possible 20 penguins. All right, well, moonshine doesn't even know. You assume are gonna be penguins and then they just look like some bullshit Arctic vulture. It is. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 00:08:00 With like big gooby fucking neck goblers. Moonshine. Moonshine. Tears. Moonshine, you see tears fill her eyes and she said, I always wanted to see a penguin. Well, maybe some other time. You know you could turn into a penguin. Oh shit, I turned into a penguin.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Are you really gonna do that? Oh no. All right, so the valley here is quite wide. You're not pinched in by walls, but you do have this river running in the middle, then basically a long field of snow covered rocks on the side. If you venture close to one side, east or west,
Starting point is 00:08:35 you see the occasional tunnel barrowed into the side of the mountain as you guys kind of hop along. So I think we're just heading towards wherever Bashin lives. Great, so you guys don't need to do survival checks here. It's a little bit easier to navigate. But go ahead and throughout the day, this long day of travel, give me five encounter checks.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Oh, that was hard one who's in charge. Go ahead, roll, I give you five rolls. Yep, cool. What do I add to that? Nothing. Oh, great. Just look, and it's not the same as last time Shout out to the two crew. No great good start. Okay. Shout out to the six chicks. Oh
Starting point is 00:09:11 The six chicks went up. Shout out to the pop guys. Oh awful, I know Shout out to the 14 teens. Okay Shout out to the 15 teens. Great. What a great group of people. How close are you guys traveling to each other? I think we're probably, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I bet that our rams are kind of nipping at each other's tails. Yeah, I think we got like a caravan going. Got it. So as your rams are kind of skipping along, you guys get to this patch of snow. It seems like a small clearing amongst all these rocks. And as you go to hit it, you see the snow gives way revealing a giant hole, like a tunnel burrowed in the ground.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Everybody give me dexterity saving throws. I'm gonna have your Rams. I'm gonna have your Rams do them as well. Like they roll with advantage. So this is basically to not fall off your ram into a hole. I got an advantage. I scrolled two net 20s. Oh, what?
Starting point is 00:10:10 Well, I am with advantage. So moonshine, your ram as soon as the snow starts to give definitely hot stuff. Ramadhan, you truly are holy. That'll be a role for these other guys. Hard one, yours gets out of the way, but you get rocked a little bit. What did you get on your deck save? 22 22 you're you're good. Bev Randanio
Starting point is 00:10:31 One in an eight your ram falls into the hole Do at deck save to not fall with it. I got a 15 plus my four. Okay, you can jump off there So my aura doesn't shampoo the ram with some sort of glistening aura of safety. The ram got an eight, you need a 15. Oh no! So it's got a twig. Ram Daniel!
Starting point is 00:10:53 Okay, Ram Daniel back at it again with the fallin' to the void. Okay, Boundor's ram jumps out and Boundor gets an 19. Boundor, what's your ram's name? It seems lucky. Boundor the ram. Yours is dead, man. Oh! So you guys, suddenly, you guys.
Starting point is 00:11:09 No, we can't just let that Ram die. You guys hit this patch of snow. All of the snow collapses around it. Three out of the four Ram's are able to jump out of the way. Bebs kind of in the front. Bebs Ram tries to jump, but jumps like in the wrong action. Can I cast jump on the Ram? It is already fallen. You could try to do something to like grab it, but it has fallen. Bev as it was falling, you were able to with your deck save jump off of the
Starting point is 00:11:35 Ram, but Ram Daniel is falling. Can I cast a wind underneath them? That's not gonna. Jettel repose. Get an honorable tip. I guess some vines to try and nice. Something like that. Yeah, yeah, go for that. Okay, I'm gonna say DC 15 Archana check to a rap Ramdan. Can I not use charisma into the color skill? I'm gonna say this is you kind of using it. Can I help put my thorn whip? Yeah, you can roll with advantage if you do thorn whip. That's a 19. Perfect, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Ram Daniel is falling, just making this wrap her thorn whip around one of its hooves so it doesn't go all the way through it. It just kind of starts to sink and now Ram Daniel is just stuck. I'm gonna roll. I'm gonna roll like this. Stay calm. A D like 100 to see that. We're going to get you on the words
Starting point is 00:12:47 Ram Daniel is 60 feet down Down the hole I brace moon shine I grab a Listen to them. I do I don't currently have it sucked Can I cast it can't speak with animal can I cast cast like entangle on my, on my thorn whip to fortify it? I think thorn whip isn't gonna reach 60 feet. I'm gonna say that the way it worked mechanically is you kind of like slowed his fall a little bit
Starting point is 00:13:14 and got him like up against the wall. Okay. That's a rope, Stoda. Yeah, you guys can certainly climb down. All right, let's go get him. We got it, we got to save this ram. Yeah, this is a bad start to the mission. You guys killed the giant and cold blood. I know I'm trying to atone.
Starting point is 00:13:28 We feel bad for what we did. Wait, you guys, you, you don't ever regret the vision. I was not, I was not there. You literally took his final hit once away. You murderer. We can't turn on each other. Yeah, you're right, you're right. I do cast speak with animals. You cast speak with animals. Ram Daniels, we're coming for you. How are you doing?
Starting point is 00:13:50 I'm doing mad. Help. Help. Just a minute, come. I can't move. I need to climb the rocks. I need to climb the rocks. Just like, seriously kicking his feet.
Starting point is 00:13:59 OK, how he's 60 feet? Yeah. What's your jump currently, Ram Daniel? What? Jump? I jump on rocks. All right, I'm just gonna try and, okay, is it touch? I'm gonna jump down there.
Starting point is 00:14:11 What? Jump? I'm gonna jump down there. Give me that ring of featherfall. Doesn't have someone have a ring of featherfall? Yeah, you wanna? Who's wearing it? I gave it to someone, I can't remember who though.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Well, just decide right now who has. I got the ring of featherfall., I can't remember who though. Just decide right now who has- I got the ring of featherfall. Okay. And I dive down there. I dive down there. Okay, do you put a rope on so that we can pull you back up? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:35 That's probably a good idea because I don't know that this is gonna hold. I believe that. I jump out with the rope. I believe I with the rope. I literally he back and touched this guy. A bale-nor, uh, wisely grabs pop off the last second. Why don't we just hang out of this guy? He could sit on my lap. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Craikness list. Okay, so he's got a lot of ass-liss that greedy little rodent. Boundless definitely growing the Santa beard. So Bev and a hard one put a rope around moonshine, moonshine, a feather falls down and you get down there to what ram Daniel.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Okay, now I'll put my hands on him and I want to cast jump on him. Okay, what kind of jump? It triples his jump. Ah, so we could use the trampoline. But we just jump distance is tripled until the spell ends. He's good at climbing up the walls and stuff. I'll say with jump, he'll be able to, although it'll be tough for him to get any kind of footing because he's stuck in this little, can you use the trampoline?
Starting point is 00:15:39 It's not a trampoline. Well, it's like a surface now. It is whatever I say. All right. Can I put out my hands to help give them a boost? Sure. I like to give them a boost. So you're lowered right now.
Starting point is 00:15:52 They're hanging onto you on this rope. And this goat is just so bannish like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, help, help, help. Yeah, yeah. Step into my hands. Steps into your hands. I'll have them. I cast jump on you.
Starting point is 00:16:04 You are a slick guy right now I'm gonna have him do an athletics check to Jump up I believe I could fly you rolled in 18 all right So there's enough of a kind of net under him for him to like steady himself He puts his foot up on moonsh's hand, he kicks off, jumps up, arcane power of jump, takes him like fucking 30 feet up and one thing kicks off against the wall,
Starting point is 00:16:33 kicks into the other one and jumps back up and Ram Daniel is rattled. Oh! Oh, wow. I raised my hand free willy style from to jump over me. I can't wait till you kill all of our rams of the next encounter. Suddenly, the ram gobbler shows up.
Starting point is 00:16:50 That is true now that whenever we invest in a creature, then suddenly it's like, well, I can't go now. Now these rams are going to be like little albatross babies. We're going to put a below deck of the stormboard. I'm a Britom. Oh yeah. Like we did the matter flies. No, it's arc, but just rams Bev and hard one it give me a perception check Matt 20
Starting point is 00:17:16 Matt 20 shout out to the two crew Can I use the rams inherent of detection? No. Okay. Hard one. These guys are very fucking hard to see. But with your NAT 20, you see as you're helping Moon shine get out as you're pulling her up, you see a little bit of movement like on the cliffs. I see a little bit of movement over on the cliffs.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Hmm. I see it now too. How far away is it? 60, 70 feet away. What kind of movement is it? Is it multiple movements? With a nat 20, you saw multiple movements of something with like white fur.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yeah, should I just lighten and bowl? Oh wait, it's white fur? Animals? Oh, or are they frost nobles? This could be our first nolem hunter. Are they headed towards us hard one? It looked like people were trying to surround you or spy on you. Got it. You all want me to just like lighten and bolt them? Yeah, if we let's circle up and get ready to fight, right? All right.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Okay, are you guys circle around the ramps? Are you guys making it obvious that you're trying to fight right now or are you just gonna lighten bull that a nowhere? I'm just gonna lighten bull on a nowhere. Sounds good. Okay. So strike. Okay, so hard one kind of subtly while pretending
Starting point is 00:18:35 to check on Ram Daniel subtly kind of points out like Nudge's moonshot. Just like click, click with his mouth that I can't do because I'm not as cool as he is. Yeah. You know, but he doesn't real loud like click, click with his mouth that I can't do because I'm not as cool as he is. Yeah. You know, but he doesn't realize. Bound or keeps trying to do it. Get that with him.
Starting point is 00:18:49 That was it, that was it. That was it, that was it. And he kind of tips moonshine off to the direction of the couple of guys that he saw. Yeah, and I just kind of whispered myself, watch bitch, call lightning. Okay, call lightning down. Go ahead and make your kind of whispered myself. Watch, bitch, call it. And then. Okay, call lightning down.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Go ahead and make your roll. You actually roll. It's a 100 feet long and five feet wide blasts out from me in the direction I choose. Each creature in that line must make a dexterity saving throw. Okay, so it's a 100 foot range and then it's five feet. Yeah. Okay, it's like a cone.
Starting point is 00:19:21 So there's actually two guys that you were going to potentially get. They got make a dexterity saving throw. One guy got a 19. Okay, he's gonna save. The other guy got an 18. Oh. They still take half damage, I believe. Okay, that's good. Otherwise it would have been like a very nice laser light show for them.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Uh, half a 28. Damn, it was powerful. 14. Dope. Okay. So, hard one. These are good guys. Eagle eye, hard one. These are good guys. Eagle eye, hard one. Out of the corner of his eye,
Starting point is 00:19:47 sees a little bit of movement. He's on High Alert. Motions to moonshine. Moonshine calls lightning. Strieg of lightning comes down from the sky. There's this explosion. And you see two white haired nools. He's, he's, thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Hyena humanoids, explode from behind some rocks over on like a little cliff. Oh fuck. And they like roll down the side of the hill. They take a bunch of damage, but they're still alive. As soon as the lightning strikes, you see a bunch of white knoll heads pop up. They were trying to surround you.
Starting point is 00:20:23 You guys were heading north, so behind you to the south You see another three noles pop up and start running towards you then to the east There are two guys the ones that just got fried by the lightning But another one joins them and those three run towards you then to the west There are three more guys who pull out bows and start firing and a big beefy boy joins them And they all start charging at you. That's a whole lot of nobles. Everybody roll initiative. Okay. Eight. Eighteen. Four. Cool. So there are nobles charging at you from three directions. There are three nobles in each little squad except the one to the
Starting point is 00:21:00 west which has four including the big beefy boy. They're running with their bows out, moonshine you act first. Awesome, I cast Wind Wall in a circle around us. Oh my goodness. Which means that their arrows are automatically deflected upwards and miss. You guys tighten up, wind starts whipping around all of you.
Starting point is 00:21:24 You guys are dangerously close to this fucking pit, though. Now in this circle of winds. It's not a lot of wiggle room. Not a lot of wiggle room. That is the Noel Pack Lord's turn. He goes, you cannot stop us with wind. And he very stupidly, because he's an idiot, is's just gonna shoot into the wind wall. I'm gonna say he doesn't understand that. He shoots at the wind wall. Arrow deflects up into the sky and he looks so, oh, you stupid wind. Turns out we can stop you with wind.
Starting point is 00:21:58 You can't stop me with wind, once I get close to you, bastard. Oh, when you're mad, you look like you're laughing. How'd you know I was a bastard? I could do. He runs 30 feet towards you guys. I said they were about 80 feet away. He's got about 50 feet to go.
Starting point is 00:22:12 That is then hard one, Stern. Can I chuck my spear through the wood wall? Sure as hell can't. Great. Works both ways. Aw, sorry, y'all. And I throw it straight up and see if it lands on the other side Yes, I'll let you do that if you roll with disadvantage and I'll give this guy partial cover
Starting point is 00:22:33 Are you chucking it towards the big dude and the three guys with him? Yeah, I would have aimed for the beefy dude sort of like a tennis Love going over the wall to do it up 20 not net. Okay 24 shit, okay, I will say that you hit him Going over the wall. It'd do it up. 20, not net. Okay. 24. Shit, okay. I will say that you hit him. Oh, what a dwarf call like. I can't deny the 20.
Starting point is 00:22:55 He doesn't have a lot of armor. Okay, go ahead. What's your hard one thinks he's a, of himself as a dwarf? I'm a big dwarf. Hard one, have you been playing lawn darts? This big dummy is just running towards you. You just lob the lightning javelin up over the wind wall
Starting point is 00:23:12 and like a damn Olympic... What a... Javelin. Jeff like a little looking javelin. What's that event? What's that event called? The Olympic... Three throwing javelins.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Guy who throws a stag. What's a non-stag? A fantasy javelinins. Guy who throws a stannicy javelin called. Yeah. Javelin comes down and hits him in the shoulder and explodes with a bolt of lightning. So roll your lightning damage and roll your javelin damage. Dope. All right, so first you're a javelin. You're a lechicuted a dog.
Starting point is 00:23:39 10 just javelin. Nice. And then I roll lightning damage. How do I do that again? That's six. What is it 46 46? That's chunky. It's just once a day though. I mean we got bad rolls for these encounters True, you know bad rolls, so that's 28 total 28 total. Yeah Does he stand he does stand?
Starting point is 00:24:02 Yeah, not good. He's not happy to have been electrocuted. He's foaming at the mouth. You see just a big piece of meat slides off and fries from the lightning. Tasty. And he's just got this sizzling bone for his shoulder blade now, but he keeps charging and he's foaming at the mouth. He loves it. Oh dear. That takes us to Balnor. Huh, what's Balnor gonna do? Balnor, the halflinger, Balnor the ram. Balnor the halfling.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Okay, just clear. Not ram Balnor. Balnor the halfling is just gonna brace himself and prepare a reaction for when they get close. Oh, good idea. That is... Bed's turn. I'm gonna prepare a reaction.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Sweet, so you... I see Balor tensing you in Balor draw your soul. I see I see Balor's cheeks clench through his parka pants and I do the same. Awesome. That is the Noles turn. Noles are just gonna take full dash actions. They're not they're still not there yet but they're only like 20 feet away now. Zuruing in on you guys from all sides. That is Munchan's turn. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Look at the feet of the Yannobah. Ha ha ha. I'm like considering getting rid of the wind wall. I figure it bought us a turn with them getting closer and then doing spike growth in front of us. Yeah, so let's keep up with what they're, with their approach. Yeah, so I feel like on fucking with their approach.
Starting point is 00:25:25 So I feel like the wind wall is gone. And I'm casting a 20 foot radius centered on a point within range. So it'll be 40, like it'll be like a circle 40 feet from us. The area becomes difficult to rain for the duration when a creature moves into or within the area, it takes two d4 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels. So where are you putting it? Because they're coming at you from east west and south. In the direction that the noles with the beefy guy are running at us.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Okay, so right around them. So instantly, three of these noles that are running towards you guys that are a little bit ahead of the beefy guy because they took a full dash action are now in this danger zone. They'll take a little damage next turn so It's the beefy boys turn. He sees the wind wall go down He's got to glaive this big sword so he pulls out this big rusty sword and keeps charging it you guys He's gonna start taking damage as he runs through your spikes. He starts rolling angles like crazy.

These noles tried to ambush you didn't work You got to respect their count the valley The valley is littered with nole corpses No, and things are just quiet. You just hear the winter wind blowing Don't worry counters for this man Do you have a moment you guys do know that by around sunset?
Starting point is 00:42:04 You're gonna get to the tunnels and if you don't get there on time it becomes night. You can take your chances. You can do it every night. No, we want to get to the tunnels. I grab a little bit of the no blood and sprinkle around a seed and I sing the song of the dead in my saddest boy voice. Okay. Blood of the foe trickles on down and into the
Starting point is 00:42:29 soul reclines. Nor is the seed that breaks through the ground a circle of endless vines. Cool. We've been killing a lot of people. I feel like we should just take a moment. Oh you were just being polite. Yeah, I can't tell you what a bad place this was to do a blood ritual I go ahead and roll a like religion. Oh no It's not a blood ritual. It's just a burial put blood on the ground. Oh god. I already can't believe this Religion check. Yeah, It's a 16. 16, you're good. Oh.
Starting point is 00:43:07 What was going to happen? Save it for the short rest, we'll tell you. It's not even short rest. It's not even short rest. How do you think they feed this thing? Oh my God, of course, circles of blood. OK. I'm going to run away.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I'm going to go ahead. Yeah, you guys here, like, you guys do feel like after that, you feel like little tremors. I kick snow on the blood. Okay, Pellor has told me that it's fine to kill. Okay. Let's get moving. I think I'm gonna dig my heels into Ramadan and say,
Starting point is 00:43:35 shoot. Move Ryan. Onward, Ram Daniel. Move, I said. You guys continue to the valley. It's mostly uneventful. These noils were kind of planning on tracking you But you ended them. Yeah, sure they don't they don't have like a focused ambush force now
Starting point is 00:43:52 But you do see you do see like little holes and caves like networks where presumably like the worm has gone You do see like a little yellow eyes popping out from time to time Let's go fucking middle fingers up. If they're gonna be spying on us, let's give him a show. Yeah, I pull my pants down a little bit so my butt crack is showing. I do the same. I do the same. Yeah, we ride side-saddle so we can move them.
Starting point is 00:44:17 You guys all move. I shift my overall so that my butt crack can peek out over the side of my overall. You guys moon the nose as you pass them. You see one no just pulls his rags down and fully defecates on the ground. Just uses so much soft, sir. Shit. Oh, it's steaming.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Yeah. Ha, ha, ha. I have anything, nothing but meat for 17 years. I pulled my pants back up, I kick Ryan pretty hard. Very long. You're sweet to meet the body of Nolba. You guys continue following the map. It's beginning to get late now.
Starting point is 00:44:55 You see the sun is lowering in the sky, though it's not quite sunset. Ernim has marked for you on your map. Two nearby entrances. There's a tunnel for the main and nole tunnels inhabited by a majority of the beasts, then Bastions Cave, which is about 50 feet closer to you, slightly south of the main tunnel. And out of the main tunnel, you guys can see these now. You do see some like noles milling about and you see a very dim glow coming out of those tunnels, like as if there are torches kind of deep inside,
Starting point is 00:45:28 but in what is supposed to be Bastion's cave, you see a warm glow like there's a hearth inside. Beeline for Bastion, I think. Yep, yep, the beak get it Bastion. Go fast for Bastion. Wait, before we go, we should probably negotiate between ourselves a price because he's gonna demand a price
Starting point is 00:45:46 So it might be good to know like what our personal limits are. He's gonna want the Rams and we're not giving him the Rams Okay, so we're not giving him the Rams Um, we got or is Bellor on the table Hey, come on now. I'm kidding, but hey, thanks. Good, right? I'm gonna kill those wounded dolls We got some gold and platinum. So, we got a lot of gold. We got a lot of gold. We got a lot of gold.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Let's just try to do money. Money seems good. We've also got other stuff. Maybe. Yeah, we just had, I'll give them the curse, the literal armor. Yeah. Look at the go wrong.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Yeah. Maybe we could give them a song. Yeah, let's try that first. Or a dance. Okay. Cool. So, you guys approach Bastions Cave. You enter and you see rugs on the floor.
Starting point is 00:46:33 You see various trinkets displayed, dwarven hammers, climbing, equipment and whatnot. It's like a TGI Fridays if it were made by a dwarf almost. It looks very much like it's decorated by a dwarf almost. Yeah. Good. It looks very much like it's decorated by someone who doesn't know how humanoid society works and is just trying to like hang random human stuff like he was just given a bunch of gifts and displayed them to seem more.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I'll get a little bit. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. He is the little gnomeid. Oh. And then you see sitting around a fire eating a big hunk of mammoth meat. He's got just like a big fat gutted, big piece of mammoth. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Flinstone style. Yeah, you see sitting in a reading chair is this big hunched back knoll with one ear. Its skin is extremely loose. A big gut hangs out under its mismatched noblemen's clothes, clearly gifted to him from someone. He is so cute. He was a magic card. I'd have him in every day.
Starting point is 00:47:38 He's got bluish gray skin that is very patchy and wrinkly. It looks like he's been burned by acid. Oh, and he's got big jowls And he looks up at you and he goes oh Humanoid's coming to see the survivor I just took too many of you through the tunnels. That's enough for one day Many of you do the tunnels. That's enough for one day. And he takes a big juicy bite of the mammoth leg. You see all like the wetness and the juices drip down his skin.
Starting point is 00:48:10 I offer him a handkerchief. Thank you. He's got a little on your chin there. He takes the handkerchief from Uni Fully Eats It. Just instantly swallows it. Oh, Sebastian, moonshine, Simon here. Would you mind if I just put a couple of spices some seasoning on that lake?
Starting point is 00:48:29 It looks like a delicious piece of meat and I feel like you could get some more flavor. For the first off, you walk into my home. You start giving me things. That's actually very nice. I was thinking that was an act of love. But let's enter to my name is Bastion. I do know I am.
Starting point is 00:48:46 We are friends with Ernim, the wow, the wow wolf. Oh, winter wolf. Yes, the winter wolf. And winter wolf. It's wild too, though. I am friends of winter wolf. I am friend to everyone. I am the great survivor.

Good. So he holds up his dog-like feet to you, and they are covered in the oozeous corns you've ever seen. I make the sign of Polora and I dive in.
Starting point is 00:50:10 He's getting a little bit of Jack. He's getting a little less cute. That's just a 13. Okay, you see some of, you see as you go to massage it, it's like you're about to like pop a giant pimple But the light of Polora keeps it in and it looks a little bit less swollen The pimple holds I vomit now
Starting point is 00:50:34 That feels good to hear the head along look today It sounds like you had a long day You deserve to take a load off here. Have a sniff of this. I pass them on some crick water. Oh, yeah What is this? This is a great vintage all the way to home. Wait, wait, wait, this is all from, I have many great friends from all over from Frostwind to around Frostwind, but my new friends, where are you from?
Starting point is 00:51:00 You're strange skinny tall dwarf. Yeah, I'm a crick. You're a crick elf. Yeah, I'm a Crick. You're Crick Elf. Yeah, I'm a Crick Elf. Yeah, you probably heard of us. I know our reputation gets around. Some of us take some take kind or do us than others. But yeah, my name's Moonchants Abbin and I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Yes, you're an elf very fancy. I'm friend to elves because I'm a sophisticated. No. Crosswinded. You see that, yeah. Crosswind, yeah. I mean, I meet all the elves all the time. And the elves come by.
Starting point is 00:51:32 They say, hey, bastion. Old friend to elves, yeah. I've got the Elvish bow over there. You see this like short bow. It actually looks like a pretty nice Elven short bow, but it's like dirty and poorly cared for. You see the string is broken. Yeah, get the nice things. See what they want to see what they gave me to lead them through the mountain. Holds up this big beautiful golden hammer. Oh? This is the King's Hammer!
Starting point is 00:52:05 Oh, crap! Yeah! Who was it that you led through today? How'd it be a bronze beard? Right? The bronze beard, see thing? I don't think they would just give, are we reporse pouring right now?
Starting point is 00:52:16 You can't refer as if you want. I don't think they would just give them the hammer. Maybe we should use our spells to see if this is real or not. I don't think this is legit. Yeah, maybe like, locate object. I got a talk, do you want it? Or do you have it stocked? I got it stocked.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Can I use locate object to see if this is real or not? Sure, cool. Yeah, I think we established in a previous episode that you had studied enough, you did well on a history check to know what like the King's Hammer was like. This is sort of the description of the King's Hammer, but I'll let you know for sure once you get this spell.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Describe or name an object that is familiar to you. You sense the direction to the object's location, as long as that object is within 1,000 feet of you. If the object is in motion, you know the direction of its movement. Got it. It is not within 1,000 feet of you, and thus this is not the King's Hammer.
Starting point is 00:53:01 That's a great looking hammer. Wow, you do have to buy the gods. You do look at it, and it the King's hammer. That's a great looking hammer. Wow, you do buy the gods. You do look at it and it is a beautiful hammer. It's like a really nice hammer made of like silver and like gold trimming and stuff. So it's like a counterfeit moneye, but still a good moneye. It's like this probably costs a couple of thousand gold.
Starting point is 00:53:19 I were forced for as hard one and I'm like, does this look like a bronze beard hammer? By any chance? And I would know that. Yeah, go ahead and roll like a history check. This is my ex dude. So I should all over her palace. Roll like a... Roll like a...

You can tell that this is something the Iron Deep dorses probably brought along as like a wedding present or something like that. Just kind of like an ornamental, probably not even to be used in battle,
Starting point is 00:53:57 but this guy's like, eh, great, there's the weapon in all of the boomy. It's got a little drool on it. This is a broad-spirit hammer. Okay, interesting, the stock thickens. You see, he takes this hammer and uses it to mash the bones of this mammoth carcass. It's a very nice hammer.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Yeah. Good. He holds it down and uses another beautiful sword to cut more meat off the hammer. You can see it's not a lot of meat. I don't know if Mordon could see right now. He's probably can, he's probably smiling. Yes, a survivor of Yanoba, a favorite champion of Mordon.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Favorite champion? I buy it. Absolutely. I have the King's hammer. So you already led people today, you lead them deep in where they come in for an objective or like, they were going to the mountain. So I took them through the tunnels because I knew the mountain like the back of my hand, the Anoba carved tunnels through everybody respects me.
Starting point is 00:55:03 It said nobody messes with friends of bastions. That's right. The back of your hand has a tattoo on it. It says bastion sucks. Did you know that? I don't think that's true. You are. You over here, what they were chatting about,
Starting point is 00:55:16 what their objective was. Oh, we chatted for such a long time, man. That's, we were such, dude, they were like, they were like, bastion bastion man you're so smart how you know all the way through this tunnel these tunnels are so confusing but not for you and I said I know the tunnels because I'm smart yeah but you've got a photographic memory can you remember anything to say this guy has a photographic I have a photographic maybe at least like a de

Starting point is 00:56:02 So, yeah, 21 I do have a photographic memory. I told you, man. I was so bad. No, I took 10 through tunnels. I could take you exactly the way through tunnels. Yes. I thought this guy knows everyone that was in that party's name
Starting point is 00:56:17 and what they were trying to accomplish. Captain Thomas. Uh-huh. Yes, right? The winds are woe. Then there was, of course, some, uh, build a red beard guy.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Oh, sure, yeah. Yeah, everyone knows him. Yeah. I don't know, but like, I trust you. Yeah, there was Mark, Dan. Gotta be a Mark in a Dan. Jamie. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:56:41 I report, I report sports, both hard ones. Everyone say, I think we can stop writing down names now. I think maybe only the first two. Let me just, it was a little bit of an awkward walk because Red Beard dwarves very focused on getting to mountain. What the wolves not so happy with the way things going. Yeah, because they were trying to get to that gash, right? Oh yeah, trying to get to the gash.
Starting point is 00:57:12 You got to hack the gash. Yeah, man. Oh yeah, man. I see. Yeah, you've got to, what you've got to get the gush. Okay. Yup. Yup. This episode of NADPOT has brought to you by Bird Dogs.
Starting point is 00:57:30 They're a company that makes pants and shorts, so no matter where you fall and the age old battle between the two, you can rest assured that Bird Dogs has you covered. Now we all know when the legwear war begins and we're forced to choose a side, it's gonna be difficult. Luckily Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and forced to choose a side, it's gonna be difficult. Luckily Bird Dogs has made the decision of which pants and shorts to buy a little easier. Bird Dog stretchy khakis are designed to fit slimmer through the thigh and leg to give you a truly sculpted look. And instead of making their clothes out of restricting cotton, Bird Dogs
Starting point is 00:57:58 invented a cloud knit fabric that looks just like khaki but stretches so you get a way slimmer fit without having to sacrifice movement. And trust me, you are going to need all the movement you can get when you and your brothers and legs are out there on the battlefield kicking the shit out of your rivals. So when the lower body battle begins and brother is forced to kick brother, make sure you are wearing bird dogs.

Starting point is 01:00:07 So they drew a circle of blood as they do when they sacrificed to Enobba inside the caves and they chained me down in the center and when the Enobba came up, I saw the fear in her eyes and she just retracted back into the hole and just instantly everyone started clapping. Everyone just started clapping was like bastion bastion bastion bastion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it sounds like it was perfect like you could have happened any better. No, if you like made it up pretty much just nailed it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:46 And you said you can get to that. Other side of this cave and back in one day. I mean, I can do it in the day, but man, I just want for like 12 hours. So I don't think I could do it tomorrow, but maybe. And he takes his big gold hammer and he starts like, eh, eh. Okay. Yeah, maybe we could make it worth your while.

He's he can't be like totally tricked I got a five you start playing and it's You start playing and it's awful music. I started trying to dance with as much gusto as possible. His eyes glaze over. I sing along. Who let the nose out?
Starting point is 01:02:16 And Bastion is just nodding his head. Yes, still the music. Very good. But it just wouldn't be the same without the mouth. Where have you guys put the rams by the way? I'm sitting on my stool Yeah, the mouth of the cave like inside the cave and protected inside the cave Inside the cave or outside the cave inside. Okay, we brought them in you know
Starting point is 01:02:39 When I took 30 over they give me very nice hammer and they give me mammoths. You give me for your ants and all of your weapons and they get through. Bastion, you're killing us here. Yeah, what do you get? Galgina's past. You're a bastion. If you want, if you want precious animals, if that's what you're after, If you want, if you want precious animals, if that's what you're after, I can't do it. Never mind, I can't do it. Never mind. I'd never fly.
Starting point is 01:03:10 I was gonna offer them the native flies. I can't bring myself to. You give new bed seat, but not the native flies. Ha ha ha. The native flies are on their own little nose out there. Can I teach him how to do some in steed so he can have an animal whenever he wants? No, he's not a paladin.
Starting point is 01:03:25 All right. You a drug guy? What the, what the, what the drug you're talking about? Dev, earmuffs. Okay, I'll go check on the rams. I got some pretty pre-mo arcade. I mean, I do know what that is, but they refresh me. I shake the vile
Starting point is 01:03:46 You just put a little taste on your gum He sticks his finger in your vile boyly so boyly Put some of the yellow powder like on his gums just goops of saliva come down You see this little charge of lightning go through him and he goes oh oh, I like that. How much of this you have? You give me three of these and you've got to deal. This is, this is some really good shit. I can only part with what? You can do this as part of the look, man. I am, I don't like walking, I like gang out my place, my pad rules man. I don't really want the fucking go.
Starting point is 01:04:30 You guys can fuck off if you don't got anything. Hard one did the arcane thing work. Oh shit. Hey Beth, I'm so, I'm supposed to go to the reports first. I say hook me up with a minor illusion on the next thing I pull out, okay? You got it. Something to make it look epic. All right, I twinkle my fenders. And I said, ugh, I didn't want to do this,
Starting point is 01:04:49 but have you heard of the water elemental, from the elemental plane, it's sort of this epic other world? Yes, of course. This is her personal trident, and I take the trident out. Hmm. Mm, I make it glow.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Interesting. It's bits of water. Okay. Yeah. I make it glow. Interesting. Spitz of water. Okay. Yeah. I mean, that's pretty fucking rad. He goes over and he looks at it. Go ahead, I guess, and give me a persuasion check with advantage.
Starting point is 01:05:16 That's only going to be 12. You just had to get a ten or higher. Cool. Okay. He looks at it and, all right, take you through. Take you through. He points to hard one in moonshine Oh, no, we have two more. I could deal folk. Okay, you can have it back. He has it back to you

Starting point is 01:06:18 All right. You know what, just to be giving, just to be a good friend. I could also throw in this nice card set. Ooh, this is a collector's item. And perhaps, ooh, some of this special Magic Stone, and I pull out the Coral Glow chunk from the Elemental Chaos. Oh, Magic Stone.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Yeah. Seems very important, that will keep it. He takes it and he just puts it down his shirt and it just gets kind of skin-fold Was that a hole to that just going a hole in your body? Never mind. You know what? Enjoy All right, so we've got we've got the deal very, very good deal for everyone. I was trying to unload garbage. Yeah. It's kind of, you know, I kind of,
Starting point is 01:07:10 I also have this old strawberry. Yeah, you already gave me some good stuff. Take it, I'll toss it in as we can deal. Yeah, you're lucky I've got this friggin' man with you, man. Otherwise, I would insist that I have a ram. He looks over at the rams and he licks his chops. Yeah, that name is gonna last for a while, though I've been brining it, it's gonna be,
Starting point is 01:07:31 it's gonna keep. Okay. So we all go in the bed, whether we're doing one big bed. Hey, how'd you know? Just that's how I sleep. Let's do it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:43 All right. I'm a, I'm a trance, because I don't totally trust this guy. So I'm like sleeping with one eye open. I'm gonna curl up with my head on a boy like it's pillow. Yeah. Does he sleep in a big doggy bed? He sleeps in a water bed. He sleeps in a big like broken king bed.
Starting point is 01:08:02 It looks like he's trying to make it look like an actual like mattress pad or something like that but it's just like there's like snow in there and shit like under a blanket. It's just some real bullshit stuff. I'm gonna curl up with my ram ride. Yeah, nice. Yeah. I'm tranceanson on Ramadan. Dope. Okay. And Balnor just sleeps sitting up in the corner of the tunnel. I'm not going near this guy. And I'm going to Transon a way that if I like hear your noba and can safely peek what goes
Starting point is 01:08:42 down, I would be curious to watch it. You don't even need to do any kind of roll or anything. Cause once night falls, every once in a while, you just feel these nasty tremors, and probably until you guys get used to it, it like chutes you awake. And moonshine, you're trancing, so you're kind of like looking outside the cave.
Starting point is 01:09:00 You see this giant purple worm, this gargantuan beast in the distance, bursting in and out of the mountains and like traveling through the valley. You see it's shaking like crazy, every once in a while it like dies down and there's no tremors for a while. And then the tremors build back up again and it bursts out of the ground again and it's's just out there prowling, looking for somebody to eat. And you do see the nolls that were kind of hanging around outside the other tunnel, like that was like 50 feet away from Bastion's place, they have gone inside.
Starting point is 01:09:35 Can I, while Bastion is sleeping, I want a massage as temples and maybe try and get some information from him while he sleeps using Zona Truth. A sleep talking. We definitely don't want him to find out that we cast things, but I'll send him because then he won't take us around. Oh, that's true.
Starting point is 01:09:55 I'll explain what I was going to do. I wanted to see if he was telling the truth about how he survived the worm encounter. Oh, no. Okay. His truth was that the worm came up and was so scared that it ran away. So we all know that so well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I wanted to see if we could glean how he actually is. Oh, yeah. If he knows that we cast a spell on him, he might be suspicious. Yeah, he will straight up be pissed at us and then we'll be going through
Starting point is 01:10:22 these on our own. All right, maybe I'll save that for when we don't need him anymore. Yeah, exactly. Maybe we can befriend him and he'll tell the truth on his own. You know what? That's the optimism I have to do. So you guys all, just massage just temples just for fun. You start massaging his temples. Eventually you go to sleep.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Moonshine as you're trans and you do see a bastion does get out of bed and start like sneaking over towards the ramps. I smack his hand away. What? I wanted the bad damn. He looks cute. You definitely... can I do a sense motive on him? Yeah, if you really want to. Wait, what is sense motive in this? Insight? Insight, yeah. Okay, I got, I got a seven. Yeah, he's gonna try to eat the
Starting point is 01:11:11 rounds. Okay. Um, I just slap him like a like a mom in the kitchen. Get out of here. Get back to bed. Alright, get back to one big bed. He takes a job in there. You gotta keep them boys warm. He takes us. Try it and he goes back in the bed. Be careful with that thing. It's not a stuffed animal. Sun rises the next morning. The tremors become less frequent.
Starting point is 01:11:36 And finally, the worm is completely gone. And you see the noles. Once again, a few of them come outside the tunnel. And you see they're kind of like out on a hunt, looking for animals and such. And you guys wake up, Bastion wakes himself up with a nasty shard. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Oh. Okay, just think of, I don't even know if that was like, I'm only gonna have anyone. A hemorrhidled boil at birth. Right, something popped. I just put the covers over it. He just wraps the covers around him like a toga. No.
Starting point is 01:12:10 All right, that'll fix it. That is real sick. We have to be in a cave with you all day. Yeah. Now that the light of day is shining and I can see there's so many stains on this bed. It's not the first time you did that. That's you real quick, because I'm kind of preparing
Starting point is 01:12:24 for the day. Could you give me any insight as to what lies in our path, what sort of challenges and hurdles we may encounter? Some of the less sophisticated knolls might try to feed you to, you know, but not under my protection. So just stick by me and you'll be fine. You know, there's other gigantic spider type creatures. Fire giants deep below. Yeah, fire giants deep below. What do you expect?
Starting point is 01:12:55 Are we talking about like walls or like cliffs or holes in the floor? Oh, yes. I mean, all of these tunnels, they're just the way you know, but goes through the mountain. That's it. All right, thank you. That gives me some insight. I killed the fire giant once. Oh yeah. I just jumped down the hole and now maybe we get a punch in there.
Starting point is 01:13:19 It didn't even get the punch in there. This sword right here, it pulls out this beautiful masterwork sword man that's right buddy what's his arm around you just so what what what what gunk is that on his hand you don't know you've got a gold watch but you know my boils yeah right shall we get to go in best friends. Let's do it. Absolutely, but you guys Walk outside of his cave and he goes I don't know if you're gonna be able to get these the Rams through all the tunnels Shall we free them? No, cuz if we free them here, they'll get captured by no knows. Yeah. I'll leave them in your cave.
Starting point is 01:14:07 But trust you with them. Yes. Oh God. I don't like that option either. Y'all he tried to eat them last night. I know you did. Can we send him to the Feywild? We call about that. Ram Daniel. I guess talk with animals is worn off at this point.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Oh, yes. I don is worn off at this point. Oh, yes. I don't want to waste it again. We got a lot of things. We got a big day coming up. I think we just try to bring him. I don't know. I don't know. We got stuck in this tunnel.
Starting point is 01:14:36 I think that better shot it just like being in the wild. But can I gash his form them to get them through? That's probably with me. It's your spell. Can I just cast like pass without trace on them or something? Oh. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Yeah, okay. How about I, I don't know what only, but that's concentration. And that means for the next hour. Oh, God. I would only give them an hour. Yo, what do we do? They said, these are rams.
Starting point is 01:15:00 They like, they would probably prefer to be like, in the, there are bar the Rams in the mountains I mean some of them get eaten by those Why in the tunnels get eaten by those more Okay, then Then we'll set them out what not in the tunnels. Yeah, you can set them out to the mountain Okay, you can bring them if you want I have no attachment to Ryan It's not about the ass and kid. Hey, you can bring them if you want. I have no attachment to Ryan. Let's smack him on the ass and kick him.
Starting point is 01:15:26 Kick him on to the mountain. He runs off. I look into Randi. He sure be well, Steve. You see, you see Ryan gallops off majestically. You just see like a couple of noles just like. Oh, he's so sweet. I did not play by your rules.
Starting point is 01:15:41 I said a freak. I don't know what to do here. Okay. Rand Daniel. This is so stupid. This is so stupid. I'm gonna cast Bark Skin on my guy. What does that do?
Starting point is 01:15:56 It gives him...well, what's his AC already? Uh, so low. Uh, 11? Bark Skin gives him a... You touch a willing creature until the spell ends. The target skin has a rough bark like a appearance in the target's AC. Can't be less than 16. Sweet. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:13 He grows bark skin. Oh, he does not look very appetizing now. Yeah. And then I produce a little flame to get him to like, little fire hunters but... Err. He takes out... He takes out... He takes out fire because the skin is like... I produce a prayer. I know we do, but my meat isn't usually so regal and helpful. You've served me well, Ram Daniel.
Starting point is 01:16:52 Damn. Ram Daniel. Damn. I say a prayer to Pellor, and then I release, I relinquish Ram Daniel, I suppose. Ram Daniel takes off in the mountains with a golden glow around him This rand Daniel look back. You just know he's gonna be fine He's he knows He see all the noals are heading for Ryan
Starting point is 01:17:24 Actually, they're way faster than no, so unless they get shot these immediate guys probably aren't gonna catch your Rams But they go off into the mountains great. I mean then the most live in the mountains gang It's fine who gives a shit no shot. I see you Them last night. Yeah, it did yeah, that's what happens He just takes another he's got just a fucking man. It's like we're holding it with two hands. Everyone here's way too pragmatistic Yeah fucking man with like we're holding it with two hands. Everyone here is way too pragmatistic. All right, take a seat of them. All right, he takes you to this other cave and you see that there are a bunch of nobles outside and when they see you guys, they just start sneering.
Starting point is 01:17:58 Meet, sweet, meet, sweet, meet. Looking at your eyes and Meet, sweet, meet. Looking at your eyes. And, um, Bastion goes out of the way everyone. These are friends of Bastion. That's right Bastion boy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:14 And they kind of like back away, but they keep sneering and you're like, t-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee. Just laughing. It's not my rom. Yeah, maybe don't get these guys to met. By the way, once you get deep, there's a 3,400 in there. Okay, everybody take it easy, huh? So you guys enter this dark dimly lit tunnel.
Starting point is 01:18:38 The knolls see even better in the dark than dwarves. So their torches aren't placed nearly as often or neatly as like human or a dwarven design. So it's like very dim in here, very spooky. It wreaks in here. It smells like rotting flesh and wet dog. There are strange hieroglyphics and paintings in a strange language on the walls.
Starting point is 01:19:01 You can assume no. Occasionally, you'll feel hot air blowing against your neck, only to turn and see a no-l staring right at you. It's fur covered in ash and mud to provide cover in the caves. You just see yellow eyes glowing in here. Tuesday, is it, right? Tuesday. Tuesday.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Where with Bastion? It's really the me. Bastion pipes up and goes, no, these guys are no good at the thing. Good friends of the survivor. Everyone remember? You hear the other nobles giggle and whisper amongst themselves. He got thrown up because he tastes like shit.
Starting point is 01:19:42 He got thrown up. You know what? I knew it. I knew it. In the distance you guys can hear screaming. It's a mix of howls and barks, so you can assume it's an oal. So you continue through these winding tunnels until it opens up into a bigger cave. until it opens up into a bigger cave. You're now on the second level of this little cave, and you can see a level below you. There are a bunch of noles who have another nole chained to the floor.
Starting point is 01:20:14 And there appears to be one who's the ringleader. He's bigger than the rest, and he carries a flail with two humanoid skulls, smoking with red and black energy. All right, that's bad as, that's cool. with two humanoid skulls smoking with red and black energy. That's bad as, that's cool. He wears a rusty breastplate under a frost wind guard tabored that was once white,
Starting point is 01:20:34 but is completely stained with blood. He's got what looks like war paint circling his eyes, but it's actually dried blood. You see Bastion turns you guys, he goes, feeding time. That's what they judge, the dude of me. I'm gonna elbow as you guys. You see the main knoll, this dude with blood around his eyes,
Starting point is 01:20:54 pulls out a crooked dagger and runs it along his palm. The other knolls do it as well. And they make a circle around the knoll who has chained to the floor, and he's just kind of whimpering and barking. Trying to get away just foaming at the mouth. I hate to see that. They all cut themselves and are covering it in blood and making a circle around it. You see the main knoll looks up and he sees you guys with bastion.
Starting point is 01:21:21 You can kind of tell that he is speaking in common so that you guys hear it and know and he locks eyes with you guys the whole time and he goes, we exist to feel you know, but hunger. She who is ravenous, she who must feed. Green and red, arcane energy exudes from the main no like smoke from fire and the entire cave Begins shaking and you see bastion like grabs on to the wall And even else feel like these depraved creatures are shining a light on some of our recent depraved activity Finally a gargantuan beast this giant purple worm burst through the floor of the cave Ganshu and Beast, this giant purple worm bursts through the floor of the cave, open maw with hundreds of rows of teeth, scales like thick armor, and just swallows the sacrifice
Starting point is 01:22:11 hole, along with like two other nobles that were just on the edge of the circle. That's how fucking big this thing is. Without missing a beat, the worm just continues burrowing through the ceiling, causing a giant hole and another giant tremor before disappearing. You guys see the lesser noles start foaming at the mouth and going insane with bloodlust. They lock eyes with you guys and begin to charge.
