All of you are now back in this vision. Though once again, Sakawatch is present watching. You see the form of a massive beast. A piercing scream breaks this hallucination. You're back on the boat. Sakawatchi is on deck and his eyes open and he's just staring in the distance at this mass of dark clouds

that seem to be rushing at the ship. They resolve into the shape of a massive whale-like monster in the sky. Sakawatch says, the stars, they've come to punish us. Two creatures land on the ship. Oh, gotta eat that. Kierk, you are slowed one for a minute. You son of a V.

No. That scream returns, like almost like it's on repeat. 32 points of cold damage. Oh my god! Troy! Muggles is seasick, however fortunately the K'uulukan is not. Boom.

Ignite that naga! 31 points of cold damage. And that naga dead. Yeah! That is awesome! The one remaining naga starts shaking like a rattlesnake. A spray of glittering dust lands on the boat. Glitter dust?

Will you be blind? Find out next week. The adventure continues... now. You You're going out to the movies. No. And you don't go to the movies anymore? No. All right. She never did. I only watch movies now when I take the kids.

Otherwise, I don't watch them on TV. I don't go to the movies with my wife or by myself. I watch them with the kids. But you've been to the movies before. Yeah. Okay. So you can play along with this discussion. All right.

Whatever. I got it. It's painful for you. Going to the movies, what candy are you purchasing? I'll start. Snowcaps. Snowcaps? That was my go-to growing up.

Great answer. What are they? I don't even know what they are. Don't let them shame you. I wasn't feeling ashamed. What are they? They're like a nonpareils. It's a nonpareil.

They're mini nonpareils. Lebanon Perel. Lebanon Perel? Yep, Lebanon Perel. No, it's a nonpareil. It's a nonpareil. There are many nonpareils. Lebononpareil. Lebononpareil? Yep, lebononpareil. No, it's a nonpareil. It's like chocolate with little white dots on them. Crunchy little dots.

Yeah, they're great. That hurt your teeth and get jammed in your gums. How did you eat that? Oh, they're so good. They're delicious. You don't see them as much in the movie theaters I go to anymore. So my backup is.

They don't serve in porno, do they? You know what's even better? You know what's even better? It's the little booths. Pieces of chocolate not covered in gravel. No, they're not gravel. They make, they taste good. They're sprinkles.

They're sprinkles. They're delicious. They're just sugar. My backup is Junior Mints. That would be, I liked, I liked. Junior Mints, also a good choice. I like Whoppers. Whoppers are good.

Whoppers, so that's your go-to? No. Bag of Whoppers? No, if they have like those butterfinger bits things, like I'll get those. Those are good. Butterfinger bits, ooh, that does smell good. Dude those Butterfinger Bits things, like I'll get those. Butterfinger Bits, ooh that does smell good. Butterfinger Beebees, whatever. Checking them.

My go-to growing up, my sister was snowcaps. Yeah, I like her already. I didn't like her. I didn't like her. I didn't like her. I didn't like her. Why isn't she here? I didn't like her.

I didn't like her. What's she doing now? I didn't like her. She's beautiful, too. I didn't like snowcaps enough to get them, but I liked eating some of hers. So it was perfect. So she would get those.

And I would get milk duds. That was my go-to. I like milk duds. Those are good. Do you have braces growing up? Not until later. And at that point, I knew I should not be eating milk duds. I was a cavity child.

I had a lot of cavities. I'm a cavity adult. I have a lot of cavities. The milk duds. But I would get it. You brush your teeth two or three times a week? It says bad teeth. Minimum. Genetically bad teeth.

Genetically bad teeth. I brush my teeth twice a day, maybe more. But yeah, milk tits, and then I would pour them in the popcorn. Oh, that's nice. I would mix them up. I love that. I always want to do the Homer Simpson thing. We get the box of milk tits, you put the the movie theater butter on it

Wanted to try that ever cut a hole in a bottle of popcorn put over your wiener I started that question like when I was like, Joel status. You had this shitty thing going on in your face. I couldn't get a Joel icebreaker. Don't do it, don't do it, oh. Let me ask you this, Kate, you're going to the movies. That was a bad girl. I never understood that tactic.

20, 30 years ago when you went to the movies, what was your snack of choice? Sour Patch Kids. Sour Patch Kids. Mm. Yep. I like sour until it makes my mouth feel raw and then I keep eating it after that too.

Oh wow. Yeah. You don't find them to be too sour? They are too sour. That's why I like them. It's a lot too, because movie theater gives you like eight servings worth that you eat in 25 minutes.

And so your mouth is just a real mess after. I would like to have a Sour Patch Kids and like a chocolatey treat with like puffed rice in it or something, I love that. Like a Nestle's Crunchy? Yeah, or something. Or Crack-L.

Like Crunch has those little rice. He didn't say that awkwardly at all. Crack-L, right? The Crunch has those little like rice pieces. Cup of Chocolate, those are good, but like if you get two boxes, it's like giant candies. Are you gonna get a popcorn? Do you need the popcorn too,

or can you just do the candy at the theater? Because I need it. I like the popcorn, but it makes my tummy hurt. Yes, so you need to share it with somebody else. Well, it's got a lot of fun. Yeah, I definitely love some bites of popcorn. We'll get to you. Candy, just give us a little bit.

Cracks, butter boy. You've liked every treat so far. So far I've been like, yes please. Yes please, we'll yes please. Yes please. Yes. Ding ding ding. Butter boy. I'm sorry. He's really offensive.

That kind of insult can only go one way. I'm feeling bitchy my proximity right now. Can't call her butter girl. Crunchy girl. I feel mean on Sydney's behalf. I was nice. You didn't even say anything about butter or cake.

Sydney and Joe had a wonderful exchange just before we started recording. They really did. Did you guys just redeliver it? Oh, I wish we could just replay it. I wish we could replay it. No, it'll ruin it. It'll ruin it.

It was very funny. We're being very catty to each other and maybe that'll come up later. Yeah, Cate is Sydney bottle of that. It hurts. Whoa! What was I thinking? Why did I think this would be a good idea? Who eats ravioli with their hands? Somebody commercials at the movies are nowadays.

When you said that I pictured cutting holes in the ravioli in the movies. That's even worse. Stacking them on top. I don't think you need more than one or two. Two and a half ravioli and the food. I don't think you need more than one or two. Two and a half raviolis like you're in a fucking carnival.

So funny and so mean. You didn't even get to answer. What did you actually like? He was so nice about my candy choice. Do you want an M&M's? Yeah, I would like to know.

I would like to know. All right, Sour Patch Watermelons or Pretzel M&M's, but I haven't been able to find those in movie theaters. But the ultimate thing is to do the popcorn with peanut M&M's, regular M&M's in the popcorn. That'd be pretty good. And it just melts and then you get it all over your hands. As you pointed out, you eat the whole thing in 20 minutes.

It doesn't melt. It doesn't melt? It melts in your mouth. Not in your hand. That's not true. I hold M&Ms, it's all over my hands. You got sweaty hands. Seconds later.

You just stand there holding them? How long do you hold them? Well, I just like to test the jingo. What's the average time between bag to mouth for an M&M for you? Well, sometimes I'm like, I'll pull it out and I'll start talking and I'm gesturing and I'm like, Ah! It's all in my hand! My hand's all green! Lies. False advertising.

So you like, that's a lot. So you go on a movie theater, you're buying two things of candy and popcorn just for yourself? No, I'm saying, I usually will get one thing of candy, but if I'm feeling, if it's a long movie, or if I'm feeling really ambitious. You're going to see the English patient? I'm going it was a long movie or if I'm feeling really ambitious, you're gonna see the English patient I'm gonna see the English I'm gonna get a thing of popcorn and get some M&M's in there. You know, they sell booze at movie theaters now, too Oh, I mean not any I go to. Skid and I are. I never see that. Really? Yeah, anywhere.

Patrons of the Nighthawk in the Prospect Park Nighthawk where we get entire meals. Yeah I'll take the boys to see Moana too and I'm like, let me get a Bud Light. It's one of those toy ads with Bud Lights. Well, you have to get up and pee in the middle of the movie. Oh yeah, that's the worst part. That's the worst part. I can hold my urine pretty well.

I don't know, I drink a beer and I have to pee like immediately. What you do is you get a popcorn. Oh. No one knows. Did you ever work in a movie theater? No, Blockbuster. I worked in a Blockbuster. I had to think about it that way. Did anyone else work in a movie theater? No. I never worked I worked in a blockbuster. I had to think about it that way.

Did anyone else work in a movie theater? No. I never worked in a movie theater. I recently told Caitlin that you worked in a movie theater as a teenager, and she was like, of course he did. It was the pinnacle. It was like the professional pinnacle. It was the only time in my life

where I've reached the absolute zenith of what I could achieve at any given age. At 17, that was the best job you could have, and I did it. And it actually is funny, because I took another job at an art house movie theater after I got out of college for like a year, and they were showing the English page at one point, actually. But my buddy, Steven, who we met in Portland,

he was my manager there, and he just sent me a bunch of old, the one sheets, the posters that he saved from our time working there. And so like the first week I started there, we were showing, it was the tail end of the train spotting. And so he sent me like the train spotting poster from the lobby from when I started there. So I'm going to put that up in my apartment.

It's like, it's one of the best gifts anyone's ever given. Do you still have it? He just sent it to me. I just got it, so. That's so cool. You gotta show me that, that's so cool. Yeah, I got it, just getting a frame for it. I'm so excited. You ever go to one movie at like five,

and then when that gets out, just sneak right into another theater? Yeah, I spent a whole day at MC, MC squared at the longs. I did it, it's thievery, but it's fun. Were we just talking about this? Oh yeah, he was like, Matt Brody was talking, I was talking to him about this before we began.

Double dip. I saw six movies in one day at the NC25. And just paid for one. Yeah. That's good. I've never done that because I don't break the law, and I'm a good person. Well, with rotten teeth.

Okay. Jesus. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I can't control her when she's doing this. Snowcap boy. Everyone is fired up today. I know. What are you, what are you, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Here's my question with the Junior Mints though. You guys are eating popcorn as well and I'm assuming you're drinking a soda or something? No. Water and Junior Mints. That would mean. Water and Junior Mints?

Yeah, that's great. Make some cold. And a Bud Light. And a Bud Light. Old man stuff. That was my question though, because it messes up anything else you eat. Well, I used to eat, I don't anymore.

The one that you haven't mentioned that I do kind of regularly get these days is Twizzlers. I like Twizzlers. Twizzlers! I never used one in every room. Yeah. I like Twizzlers. Twizzlers! I never really discussed it. I like this guy. One in every room. Yeah.

I like Twizzlers. It's like eating a crayon or a crown. Yeah. Eating a crown. I didn't know what you were saying for a second. Yeah. I love licorice. Love licorice.

Well, Twizzlers are a pale imitation of licorice. Strawberry. They're strawberry licorice. Sure. But you know, snow caps are a pale imitation of fancy nonpareils, which I do like. It's like eating a Bic pen. I can't believe you said that with a bag of Twizzlers.

So you're saying that pens are good. There's one big dent. I went through a Twizzler face. I also like the Butterfinger bits too, those are good. Huge downside to a pack of Twizzlers, besides the flavor, is so loud. Yeah. Because they're like, crack, crack, and you gotta keep going in there and it never is so loud. And you gotta keep going in there

and it never stops being loud. But you also can't take them out either. When we were in LA, Jared took a bunch of us to the New Beverly, where they have a, the candy selections are great. They have the stuff you want and then also, I don't know, mint flavored Kit Kats. I can't even remember what all they have.

But they offer all of them, you can get them all room temp or cold. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wow. I put all my candy in the fridge. I was like, this is the best thing ever. That's a cool theater, man.

It was very cool. That was a fun night. I was just thinking about that last night. Tarantino saved it, bought it. So basically now they just screen, they screen some stuff that all the theaters have and they also screen stuff from his personal collection. That's so cool. So we watched two-

Two very strange movies. Very strange, maybe we're better lost movies. Yes. One of them was okay. One of them was okay. I had so much fun. It was very fun, it was super fun. At theater school too.

And you got some cold candy. They make cold candy. Do they serve booze there? Yeah, I think they do. They had coffee, they definitely had like coffee and stuff and maybe they also had. They had hot dogs and nachos and all that. Answer the question.

I don't know. So no. I think I got a beer. Maybe I got a beer too. I can't remember, I can't remember. I get a beer. Do you bring a beer in, to sneak one in? Not at this theater.

They're very intense about the rules. You guys ever bring your own candy to the movie theater? You're like, I'm not paying nine bucks. Did any of us have a grandmother, is what you're asking, because my grandma used to pack full sandwiches in a bag, tin foil. She was unafraid. You weren't in movies with your grandma?

She was like, they're robbing you in there. She lived through the Depression, so my grandmother was like, eat this. It would unwrap a full meal. Get some spam. She'd bring candy from home. Yeah. Skid, as a former movie theater employee,

your thoughts on people who bring food into the movie theater? I think it's the lowest form of scum. Like, those were the things that we really had to police was like, that kind of thing. You hear that, Grandma? In heaven, she's dead. Well, when you were a kid,

did you treat the movie theaters like a 1950s park where you just throw your trash everywhere and walk right out? Cause I feel like when I were a kid did you treat the movie theaters like a 1950s park where you just throw your trash everywhere and walk Right out because I feel like no When I was a kid, I was just like oh just leave it here and so polite also scum Yeah, I think a lot of people really like conscientious about that now It's just like a lot of people do do that like they'll figure out a wrapper their box And they just drop it on the ground you see that madman episode when they're the park and they just and they just drop it on the ground. Did you ever see that Mad Men episode

when they're at the park and they just like. Oh yeah, you just fling the blanket. Oh, fling this food and cook, you do tenfold plates everywhere, they're like, say ah. Like that was normal. That was movie theaters in the 80s. Well, we should have like a little,

if we invest in this, we have a little snack situation there where you get to bring your snack to the show and then we can sit here and just kind of snack while we play. We should have like a candy fridge. We have a fridge. And we gotta get we should have one for candy. We gotta get the taps back in here. I think it's time. I think it's time. Oh yeah. Because right now a couple of coldies along with a

little nice cold junior mint would be good to go. Instead stick around. We'll be right back. Fishing Clash and those of you who are familiar with Legacy of the Ancients and Foley, my gnome summoner, may remember that Foley is a fisherman because I love fishing and I don't get to fish nearly as much as I'd like to, but this game scratches that itch for me and so much more.

on and I mentioned there was a play test but I left out important information which is that you can participate in this by going to Titans to keep.com. It's a really forgot to mention this. Yeah. Well, I mean it's I wasn't getting into the details of what it is, but it is a system agnostic like Campaign setting it's not a pathfinder thing. So it but it works with Pathfinder works with D&D and Yes, it's a high fantasy setting high magic world that kind of thing to say Time saved right like yeah, we're're gonna get outta here like two hours early for this kind of thing. Between Sysag.

We're on a tight schedule. You've been employing this strategy for almost 10 years now. I'd say we've never ended a recording on time. You don't? Ever. You can't say how long it would've taken had he taken the time to save.

All the time we have to explain it, it's slowing us down. Now we've lost all the time we've spent talking about it. Exactly. Check out that Sysag. When is this coming out? When is the Titan, when is it coming out? I don't know when it's actually gonna come out, Now we've lost all the time. Exactly. Check out that Sysag. When is the Titan, when is it coming out? I don't know when it's actually going to come out, but it's in play testing now. So then they take the results, so you can join the Discord, you can give comments on what's working, what you like, what you don't like.

I really want to read it, so I'm curious. I remember there's a Simpsons. The point is it's available now, in playtest form, so you can totally get it. But Marge is like, wants to think about writing a book. She goes like, talk to an author, talk back to the bookstore. She asks a question. She's like, yes. And it's just like, if they decide to publish your book, will they tell you when it comes out? It's like, yeah, I would think.

It's just like, then I'll do it. I'm like. I can't wait to read this thing. Like, I'm very wait to read this thing. I'm very excited to see the whole project. Titanskeep.com. Titanskeep.com. Titanskeep.com.

You have had quite the boat journey. We're known for our boat journeys. We love a good boat journey here. It's at least the eighth boat journey since discovery. This one, not unlike the previous ones, fraught with peril, with also some intrigue, some dreamy, visiony, memory, hallucination-y, weird stuff going on. You've now experienced your third such one of these things. In this one, you are seemingly back in that same landscape as you were in the Arctic land pulling a sled, but there is no sled.

Instead, you are standing atop this black as night ice staring down at some titanic creature below the depths of this ice, compelled to kneel forward to get a closer look. You hear the ice cracking under the weight of your feet as you do so. And then a horrible scream pulls you back to the boat where you see Sakawachi just like frothing at the mouth. Yet again, he was in this dream watching you go through this watching this memory replay Was he there?

Was he not did this even happen? Is this a glimpse of the future the past the present? Either way, he's fixated on the sky where that same titanic creature now a giant sky whale Is floating up in the clouds floating in the dark storm? for that same titanic creature, now a giant sky whale, is floating up in the clouds, floating in the dark storm. Laser lightning beams come out of its eyes and two lunar nagas land on the deck. I have to say, I did not think we were gonna meet a Sorrow this soon.

No, I didn't either. And when we did meet him, I did not imagine him to shoot lasers out of his eyes. No, I didn't think it'd be in the sky over a shooting laser. And also that the lasers produced star snake lady guys. That was another surprise. That was a surprise. I didn't think a whale could birth a snake, but I guess anything's possible.

Well, this is something I've been thinking about since is like, Is, does it seem like the whale is up there and seems like a fully formed being or does, I know it's kind of a quick glance for us, or does it seem almost two dimensional, like almost- This is like an avatar representation or something like that. Like a constellation or something like that. It's just a cloud, but- Right, like, because he was saying, you know, the stars are attacking us and this was like... Stars, they've come to punish us.

They've come to punish us. So in my head, I started thinking about it and I was like, I wonder if a Soyo was like a constellation or something and it's just sort of like a figure that we're seeing and like, you know, shimmering and almost translucent. Or does it actually look like there's a huge being that is floating up there? Aaron Powell To your eyes, you see this being in the clouds. It seems to be in the clouds and also of the clouds at the same time.

It is actively involved in what is happening here. You feel that the scream that is shattering the ice is somehow tied to this being. You feel like that gust of wind that came in, everything that's happening in the environment is tied to this creature, which yes, shot down two nagas at you from its eyes. Very strange. The good news is you've killed one of the nagas. One still remains and there's other stuff going on as well. We ended last week with the one remaining Naga casting Glitter Dust.

Now it's not going to hit all of you. Nice. But I will need Buggles, Zephyr and one of the Barns to roll a save against G dust. It is going to be a reflex save, a save of the reflex nature. The spirit of AD and D, G dust. G dust. It's going to be safe.

I love that that's the remaster of glitter. Oh, Matthew's happy with his roll. Natural 20. Oh! Natural 20! Unaffected. Zephyr. 18.

Fail. 30. Oh. Woo. Success. Oh. You're not blinded. Okay.

You are dazzled for one minute. Oh. And if you were dazzled for one minute. Oh. And if you were invisible, you would be. I do my counter performance. Yes, actually, in this case, I think that would be fine. You are an ally within 60 feet, rolls a saving throw, it gets an auditory or visual effect. Troysif. What happens?

Yeah, it's a visual effect, I would say, yes. What do you do? My performance protects you and your allies. Roll a performance check. It must be an auditory performance. If the trigger was auditory or visual one for visual trigger, and this action gains the trait for the type of performance, you and allies in the area can use the better result between my performance check and your saving throw. So you roll performance. So you see. What is your visual performance?

Tap dancing. And she's tapping. Look over here. Don't look at the black and dust, look at this. Tap dancing, which honestly, tap is a bit visual and auditory, isn't that fun? That's absolutely true. Not if you're me in a tap class

trying not to sound like him. I have my one true talent was being able to be in a tap dance class and do the moves and not make any sound with my tap dance. Oh you cheater, you absolute cheater. That is the goal. Because I was very bad. Trying to blend in.

Yes. Alright, I'm gonna roll a performance. I would have yelled at. Exactly. Maybe it's worse, maybe it's better. Okay. The teacher has been in Bye Bye Birdie, the original production. Probably worse.

Oh, it's a Dirty 20. Dirty 20. Still a fail. That will help with K. But it is better you were dazzled Dazzle for one minute isn't the end of the world. It is Have to make a concealment checks. Oh is it concealment? Yeah my vision If vision is your only precise sense all creatures and objects are concealed from all Creatures and objects concealed from you that was two actions to cast glitter dust with its final action

It is going to open its mouth to large fangs Come down on Barnes 27 to hit. That hits. Couple things are gonna happen. Oh. Uh-oh. Let's start with the damage to the tune of, oh, 10 points of piercing. Okay. Then you feel,

not unlike most snakes, some sort of venom coursing through your veins. Give me a save. Probably Fortitude, right? Any save. It is Fortitude, yes. Pick your save. 28.

You were right. Nice. Nice big save. You steel yourself against the Lunar Naga Venom. It's got bit, so this giant snake with a giant, you know, human head, and It's got bit by the human head Clash of the Titans. Oh, yeah Never mind, yeah

I'm cute. You mentioned androgynous human like heads. Yeah, are they elvish at all? They do look kind of elvish if if you look at the picture again There is an elvish nature to them. They have pointy ears. Yeah, kind of remind you of Castorbellian. They're like a half-elf. They're beautiful. I was curious if they were like the slaves

that were taken by a soy of thralls that became Naga. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I mean, it's a really interesting history if we can talk about after the Epp or after the encounter. Lunar Nagas. Lunar Nagas, yeah, it's really interesting. Okay, well, at that moment, yet again,

you hear that scream, that scream seems to be coming both from the clouds and all around you as everything erupts on the deck. Everyone, give me a reflex save. Glory to performance if you want to. Oh, Jerry did it, right? Oh, I already used my reactions. It's the same round.

Yeah, but this also doesn't come into that, right? It's auditory. But this is a reflex save, right? Reflex save, yeah. Is this a fear effect? Shattering ice. Um, no. Okay. Well. No, come on. Barnes.

I'm using my Bala Cap already. Barnes. You said reflex? Yes. Still gonna be a fail. Mine's a fail. It's a crazy high DC. Way higher than the creatures.

And as I recall, took away more than half the damage. Let's start with Skid. 25. Okay. 18. Okay. 27. Okay.

15. Okay. 24. Fail, fail, pass, fail. 25 okay 18 okay 27 okay 15 okay 24 fail fail pass fail critical fail Crazy 25 38 points of cold damage. Oh no Barnes Wow lucky you got healed. I'm real. I'm even luckier than toe to toe with this naga toe to toe with the naga That's not that lucky the rest of you Buggles Gic and Ramious will take 19 points of cold

Oh, man ice cold damage Ice ice, baby You all at this point realize whatever is happening here is something you're gonna have to deal with As much as you have to deal with the naga you need to figure out what's going on this is going to be some sort of persistent horrible thing that is got the power to kill you top around three I think I'm not on the initiative tracker I should be going after Naga too I had the 15, the lowest initiative, yeah. Yes. It was matter. Well, you had the lowest initiative, okay.

I had 15. Okay, 15, great. Then you get to go, and before we go to round three, I will go back to round two. All right. I'm going to get into my, what's it called? It's brand new to me, my stumbling stance. Stumbling stance.

Stumbling stance. She gets into that weird stance again. Is it from the boat? Is she still drunk? We don't know. And then she takes 10 feet of movement instead of 15, because I'm assuming that this thing's gonna approach. And it's all difficult terrain, so that's really 20 feet of movement instead of 15, because I'm assuming that this thing's gonna approach. And it's all difficult terrain,

so that's really 20 feet of movement. Yeah. And then I'd like to make a knowledge check on what just happened, because it's the second time it's happened, this effect. And it doesn't seem to be related to the Naga cloud. Yes. Does it seem to have a source?

Like, is it coming from a direction? Is this something we can defeat? This is going to sound crazy, but this is a fantasy game. It seems to be coming from that memory. It seems to be tied both to the memory. What memory? Of us standing in the middle of all the spires? That scream that pierced, remember you were sitting in the middle of all the spires? That scream that pierced, remember you were sitting in a circle

of the black spires were all around you and the scream interrupted you, brought you back into this world. That scream and this being seems to be connected to this ice shrapnel. So it's some mechanical haunt probably? Some, yeah, something like that maybe. Some.

But haunts and chewies are are continuing to befuddle me. Yeah. They befuddle, I think, everyone. It took me so long to understand how they work in Oney, and I still don't know how they work in Two-way. They're just hazards. Determining what to roll is what's so tricky. So do you just, is it a-

I wanna stop the screaming. Is it a recall knowledge? If I think about the- I mean that helps, yeah. The memory that we were in, we were compelled to kneel down to it. So it's just like, does it want us, like after we're done fighting the Naga of course,

like to just submit and it'll stop? You wanna give me a knowledge check because you have one action left? Yeah. Yeah, so knowledge. She just because you have one action left? Yeah. Yeah, so knowledge. She just rolled a knowledge. I didn't roll. Oh.

She said she was gonna roll and then you really interrupted her, Matthew. You told us new information. Just starting a fight. Just so in discord among the players, Matthew. It's fun. Standard GM Pravi, all you think wasn't bad enough?

I don't think it's your turn. SGP. What? I think it's still Kate's turn, thanks, Pravi. That's GM Pete. A cultism? You wanna roll that check? Matthew. It's GMP. Occultism? You wanna roll that check? Matthew, is it cool if she rolls that check?

Lore astronomy? They're both the same for me. I thought you just called it lore astronomy. Yeah, I don't know. Lunar Naga, let's go. Why not? Is it good? Well, it's for the stream, though, right?

It's for the hazard. To figure out this haunt, if that's what it is. Yeah, occultism or that. The stars are. If you're trained in astronomy is. Yeah, occultism or that. The stars are. If you're trained in astronomy, that is, I think that, oh. The astronomy lore that we all have. Right. Or occultism.

Oh, what's the other one? Occultism's better. I don't think I know. It's 11. No, you don't know. Somebody's gonna have to deal with this. It's not going to be me. Round three.

It's Buggles turn. Okay. All right. So standing, having turned his attention to the Lunar Naga on the Folk Soul. He is going, I think it did. All right, he's gonna do a, what did he find out its lowest save bonus was? Fortitude. All right, he's gonna do a frostbite.

Frostbite. Give me a fortitude save, please. Fortitude save against Frostbite. 31. Yeah, it's critical. Oh my gosh. Okay, so then he is going to do another Psy Burst. Give me a Fortitude Sp-

Another Fortitude- Oh, Reflex, sorry. Reflex save. 29. Okay, regular 65. That is four points of bludgeoning damage. Dude, you batter the mind of this Lunar Naga. It's Barnes's turn. There are two of you. And you're both down.

The one up next to the Naga. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it for me to get a hit on it, try to get a hit on it, or do the McCall Knowledge on this hazard. You're trying to hit on the Naga? I don't think the Naga's are gonna... Can you hit and McCall Knowledge? Not if I want to, I don't want to save my life. You want to, yeah.'t want to save my life.

Here's a question, where are we at with the buff? Is the buff gone? It's still going until my... Oh! It was three rounds, right? Or was that the last time? It was only one round. Yeah, but I haven't gone yet. Or no, but it's gone. This is round three.

I cast it in the second round, I think? It's gone. It's gone. Okay. Is it coming back? I think. It's gone, it's gone. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Is it coming back? I'd have to redo it, yeah. Cause I rolled bad on that roll and I have one focus point left, so. Is that what you wanna do with it? I could. Okay.

I'm gonna try to get a hit on it and then somebody else is gonna have to roll knowledge on this hazard. Yeah, I'll give it a shot. Okay, all right, so the Barnes near the Naga stays, the other one disappears. Oh, the other one disappears. Okay. And then I'm going to roll to hit on the Naga. Let's do a different time. Okay. With the Kukri.

Dirty 20.-hmm Yeah, okay Barnes will then glint the implement. Oh I gotta take my damage from the oh yeah, give me a shave No All right, so two points of damage sorry about that. No you could have you don't come to us and we can flank it Yeah, I'm gonna try to draw.. Yeah. Unless it's got that range. I mean, alright.

I don't think it's really been doing range damage, right? So then... Range spells. Barnesville Glint, the Imprimant. Unless you have an Attack of Ripper, a Reactive Strike. It doesn't seem to attack you. Okay, then another Barnesville Pier in this square, 15 feet away, closer to the group.

Okay. Sweet. Well, it's gonna... Here, I'll just move. The other one's gonna disappear, because I'm gonna move. Okay. Sweet. Well, it's gonna be here. I'll just move. The other one's gonna disappear as cause he I'm gonna move and go stand up with Saka Wachi and brother remove the gun. Well, the gun will well, it's gonna well here and a gun well there. Okay, that's his turn. Kick mark you. We use we skip brother ramius. I'm sorry. Brother Ramious. Brother Ramious spawns comes limping back.

Gickmark, you were slowed last time, but now you're no longer slowed. But did we use your slowed? I don't remember if we did or not. I think we just gave you three actions. Did we? I think we did. Oopsies.

So now you get two this round. Okay. And more even. We'll call it even. Okay, sure. We did some raisinette. What did you even do last round? Do you remember? I slowed. Okay. And more even. We'll call it even. Okay, sure. What did you even do last round? Do you remember? I slowed the guy.

Yeah, no. And then it immediately froze. I think in round two, I think you got slowed, right? I don't remember what I did last round. It was after you went. The thing targeted you. You slowed it. And then it went right after me.

Then slowed me. Yeah. Then what'd you do next? What did I do? I don't think you went yet. Did I not go yet? It's only round three right now. I don't think it slowed you in round two,

but maybe it did. I mean, it would've. Yeah, you know what? I don't know. It was in response to her slow. Yeah, I know. I guess you haven't gone yet. That happened before it died in round two,

because that Naga went at the beginning of the round. You went, yeah. So I only have two actions. In its first round it did he knows us did it go away the far one targeted her and slowed her it's slow go away cuz it died no I don't know I think that you're in it we haven't come to you yet okay it's brother Ramess's turn yeah we missed a turn in there somewhere I don't know cuz I've gone twice I've gone twice I've gone twice. I've gone twice. You've gone three times. I've gone three times.

Yeah, because I had my turn in the front. What? All right. Something's fishy. Something's fishy. Something's in the water. Maybe I got skipped, I don't remember. All right, Ramius is gonna move.

He's having too good a time. I'm having too much fun. Time flies. He'll move down to Barnes. Down to Barnes. He'll go down to Barnes, seeing how hurt he is. And he will attempt battle medicine on Barnes. I could have moved to be next to you. Yeah, why don't you save me an action.

Okay, great. I thought you were gonna heal. Oh, that's coming, got you, got you baby. And he will attempt, I might risk this. Should I get risky? I got you baby. Good job doing the higher DC.

Mards, pull your pants up. It's the thing. You know what? It's the thing. It's the thing. I don't know if I should do the higher DC here. I probably should. What is the higher DC?

The higher DC is DC 20. And you will go to... What's your medicine, plus 13? You're all good sometimes. I just need a natural seven. Yeah, you could probably do that. Yeah, that's something we could definitely count on. You do that with most...

You know what they say, Joe's gonna roll. Yeah. So rude. Get ready for that above seven. He's come close. And he's like patching you up. I mean, if he rolls a one or two, Joe's gonna roll. Yeah. Get ready for that. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. Above seven. Above seven. And he's like patching you up. I mean if he rolls a one or two, he's gonna fail regardless.

Patching you up, here we go. Here we go. Battle medicine, here we go. Battle medicine. What is it, I can't see. Natural five. Joe's gonna roll, Joe's gonna roll, you're ready for that five.

Natural five. Nice, good five. Natural five. Nice. Good five. So it's fail. You know what was really mean? Stunned for the day. In the design of Pathfinder Chewie? It used to be there were certain classes you could play you really had to roll a die to

do your thing. Like the cleric would heal the party and you didn't have to roll a thing. And now not only do we have to roll something we made Joe the cleric. Well, I could heal you without it, but I'm down on my reserves here and everybody's hurt. I'm down. I could go down any minute. Yeah, I understand why you're doing it.

So I will then do a knowledge, no, not on that. I'm gonna attempt a knowledge check. Not for you. I wanna see if in two actions I can do anything about this thing. Can you do any big group heal? Do you have like a big group heal?

Cause I'm hurt, he's hurt, you're hurt. Now the three action heal is, I mean. It's literally your job. Wow. It's only three D8. Like it wouldn't, you know, I'd roll like a 10 or a 12. Like it just wouldn't be. Okay.

Yeah, still bear in mind, he's still rolling it. He's the one. That's just that, you know what? I still have to roll the dice. He has to roll every single one of those. All those dice are like his dice. I could heal you three. And his hands.

This is true, I am down more than half my hit points. Yeah. Okay, I'm gonna do a knowledge check. We'll call knowledge on this ice screaming situation. See if I can't figure out how to stop this ice from shattering on us. What type of knowledge are you gonna roll? You said it's occultism or astronomy lore? Whatever you want to do. Occultism was... I chose that over astronomy lore. I was like, that'll be better for this. Some sort of a cult weirdness. Um, I mean, I can do anything religion.

You can do religion. All right. I'll do religion. Let's see if we can't get some 25. Okay. You feel as if as you start to think about your seminal training, You feel as if, as you start to think about your seminal training, you know what I mean? Like the training you did reading all these religious texts and whatnot and trying to piece together every bit of knowledge you've taken in thus far in your life, that you feel as if your memories and the collective memories of the group have coalesced into creating this mirage of this. So similarly like that.

We are a manifest. We're manifesting this. Those screams could have very well been your screams, you think, maybe not. But just like that manifested blizzard, you feel now that you are bringing that with you from the other world into this world. Likewise, that's happening here.

So, mechanically speaking, you need to use checks to end this hazard, and it's either going to be occultism or arcana. You have to be trained, and you're gonna need a certain amount of checks to disable this hazard. And whenever you try to disable in this way, it takes two actions to roll that check. Okay.

Otherwise that these glacial gusts, these screams will keep erupting. They are nasty. Okay. Do we know like if we disable it, will the knock go away as well? You don't know how connected those things are. So he's gonna share this with everybody. Like's all in your minds it's all in your minds

disbelieve the illusion fully got one shot at this it will pass but he doesn't have two actions to do it now of course so I will bat in battle medicine myself okay and I'm gonna attempt it at the higher DC, and I got it that time. Uh. I'm ineligible for Balmous. Yeah, well, maybe not. I do have the medic dedication. Oh! Max.

25 points of healing for Ravie. Oh wow. That is as good, almost as good as it gets for Balmous. Sorry, I always knew it. What was the actual check, two actions to do, to check to disbelieve? A cultism. A kar-kana or a cultism.

And you have to be trained. Well, not us. Oh, yeah. Not us. What a good time to get that feat. Yeah, for real. Do you think I could do esoteric lore with the feat I have, with the diverse lore?

I think that's just to get minus two. That's not to do a skilled action. It is specifically recall knowledge, so yeah. Oh, well, is is specifically recall knowledge, so yeah. Oh, well is this a recall knowledge check? Um, no, it's a disable check. Wait, using one of the... So that's why it's two actions.

You have to be trained in occultism or arcana, roll that. Alright, so I'm gonna be at a plus eight on that. What are you gonna be at? On either one? Nine. Any of you guys got arcana or... Yeah, I have occultism. I have a plus seven for a cultism or arcana. Trained to.

Trained to. You guys are all trained to. These are gonna be tough rolls. Plus eight, but I'm probably gonna fight the thing. Yeah. These are tough rolls. I have both, but I'm stupefied, so I take minus one. And I'm slowed.

It's mine, you're done with your turn, right? It could be any of us. So that would be your whole turn. Yeah, but I'm probably not gonna do it. I have 33 hit points left. If I take another hit from this, I need to move out of this ice cone. Well, you need to go all the way to the back of the ship.

Isn't it a cone of ice? But it's difficult terrain. It's the entire ship. Oh, it's the whole ship? There is spots. It's difficult terrain to get out of. Yeah, yeah, I can make it. Oh, actually, you're not that far from the end. It's a cone of ice!

Nice. I can make it out of the cone, and then I can cast a a single Force Barrage, or like a Guidance, or my Linkrainer. Or Attempt to Disable. Composition, no it's a two action, and I'm slowed. I can move out. Yeah, but those other spells are two actions, right?

Oh, Force Barrage, one missile. So, are you done with your turn? Yes. Okay. A Gic is gonna move. You guys can't see, because there are spaces that. Oh, now I see it. Okay. Yeah. Gic is gonna move, and she's just outside of that area sure are and she's kind of fucked up

She's really cold and she's kind of like slowly moving out. She's slowed and cold and I'm gonna do The lingering composition courageous anthem and her voice it's like hard to sing, but she knows you guys need it So she I'm gonna roll DC 20. What is my fucking shit? Nope. That's gonna be 17. What, your performance plus 11? Yes, and I keep rolling like dog shit.

It's so stupid. It's for my friends. There's no reason why. You drank too much. I'm sick. I'm sick to my shit. It's so stupid. It's for my friends. There's no reason. You drank too much I'm sick. I'm sick to my stomach. I drank too much. Oh, you don't use the focus point. That's good Yeah one round And you're no longer slowed now, and I'm no longer slowed and I'm just like get him wait She slowed you slowed though. She slowed for the rest of the fight. I'm so sorry for a minute. Oh, I'm sorry I'd be right. I that's I forgot about that a minute. Oh, I'm sorry, you're right.

I forgot about that. But it doesn't matter if the Naga dies, right? It's not like a concentration thing. I'm still slowed. Yeah, it's a lingering jaunt. So yeah, she says, get up, and you just hear it on the wind. She's so far away now.

Okay. Be courageous. Get in there and scrap. Thinks you're about to get nasty. Yeah, I mean, It's looking real bad. It was looking real good early when that first knock went down, but now... Well, I didn't realize this thing was gonna pop off 17 to 18 points of damage every single round on a success, or I'm sorry,

and that the DC was gonna be 26, 27? Like 25 or something. I mean, even if I succeed on this... 25 was a fix. ...this last one, I'm probably gonna go down. Yeah. It's going to cast another spell here. Let's see.

Oh, no, not a cone. It is a line effect. Oh. And it's coming for Zephyr, Barnes, and Sakawachi. It is a lightning bolt. Oh my god. You're back, I'm going down right now. I guess she could do a ranged spell that would be damaging.

Please, the three of you give me a reflex. Sav. Natural 20. Oh! Hell yeah. Huge! Very nice. Huge!

No damage. That is huge. How about time to get that? I'm still gonna go down with it when the ice comes falling. Oh my god, that's huge. Just roll another natural 20. 25. 25 for you, that is a regular success.

You're gonna take half damage on 4d12. That is huge. Oh man. Crit fail that, and you're in trubs. There's a 12. There's a 10, 27, and a nine. 36, so 18 points. That was an unbelievable roll.

What about Sakawatchi? Yeah, Sakawatchi I got a roll as well. I wanted to finish. 39 out of a possible 48, right? Yeah. You are ridiculous. All right, Sakawatchi only has a plus 10 reflex save. He's also fairly unconscious.

Seizing right now. Natural two. Oh no. That is a critical failure. Oh no. 72 points of damage. That's a critical fail. 72 points of damage.

Did you say it was 36? Oh, he's down. 30. 39. 18. What'd I give you? 18. It was 18.

It was 36. Yes, it was 18 36 so 72 points of damage Sakawatchi goes to dying to oh my god Sakawatchi goes to dying to oh my god Who is Sakawatchi in this world? This is a dream and his friends come up and heal him. Yeah They're downstairs. Oh, that's right That could be dad as far as you know Holy shit, Sakawatche. Ha ha ha.

Does Sakawatche have the die hard trait? Or die hard feat? I'm not sure, but I'll look. Clearly not, and probably not toughness either. But I'm not gonna tell you. All right, so Sakawatche, wow, game changer. Okay, it has still got an action. I don't wanna get on that sweet blue stuff though.

How many one action spells? I got a ton of fucking spells dude So many spells. Should I use that one? No, I don't want to use that spell How about one action heal on itself Lame Moralize one of us Yeah, it's gonna heal itself for max eight hit points. Oh, it's only eight? Oh, okay.

Yeah, one to eight. All right, so it gets a little bit of HP back. If you guys were wondering how this show was gonna end, you may find out. Yeah, literally this week. Today, in the meantime, everyone except Gik Muck give me a reflex save as, ha, another scream comes from the sky!

Kick Muck, Kick Muck! There you are, Ramious! Ramious, give it to me. 14. Critical failure. Critical failure. 27. Pass.

Critical failure. I think I'll go down. Pass. Kick Muck's good. I'm good, I'm hiding. Pass. Critical failure. 32. I think I'll go down. Pass. Kickmuck's good. I'm good, I'm hiding. 26. Pass. All right, I will, I'll use my bottle cap.

Okay. That's fine. That's fine. I think you knew it was a crit fail. Oh yeah, from previous rounds. Yeah, I slide that over here. So, I'll hold on to it for one second. Yeah.

I'll never say it again. Come on 20 20 regular fail so it was used to pass. Yes, every there everybody was a pass except you regular fail All right, so your ho 20 points of coal damage 10 10 excuse me 10 10 10 nothing so if I don't what. So if I don't reroll that, I go dying two. Sokowachi goes to dying three? Yes. Yes, Sokowachi goes to dying three.

Oh my god. Oh my god. Yikes. Yet another insane hazard. Completely ridiculous. It's a big one. The DC is insane. Yeah. Okay it is Zephyr's turn end of round three. Sakawatch is dying. The Chosen One. I mean I want him to die. I'm going to AOE heal and leave him out of it. Somehow. It's all because of this guy.

Yeah. In our visions, he's leading us to death. He is. So Zephyr is gonna move up to the guy. Sakawachi? No, no, no. Foodagrah? No, no, no, no.

To the, well, the them, the person. Stop him like a second. Let's just end this here. The knockup person. And. Stop him like a second. Let's just end this here. The knockup person. And. Not this all of us. Her hand wraps now have a rune in them. Start to glow, she's doing interrupt peevil,

flurry of blows. One suggestion. Are you able to move up one square, would that movement be the same? Because you'd be out of the ice and still able to attack melee. I mean. Would that movement be the same? Because you'd be out of the ice and still able to attack melee. I mean... Would that movement be the same?

I wasn't going to stay here in front of it. Gotcha. Um... Makes sense. But... Yeah, like... I guess I should stay here. It almost feels like it's less deadly to be in melee with this Naga than just one 60 feet device.

Yeah, I do have another square of movement. I only did 10 feet. And I have 15. Alright, so I'll move up to the corner, actually. Okay. My game is paused and I can't move it. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry, I was looking at something. He doesn't want us to live. Move up one square. Same thing that I said before. Interrupt people, flurry of blows. This is where Zephyr always rolls her natural 20s.

Shut up, shut up, Jones! Dude, it's gonna be perfect. It's gonna be perfect. Um, oh, ooh, ooh! 27 for the first one. Hit. Heddington. I'm learning. when you do math, you just make like sex noises. 27. That's how kids do it.

Natural one. What? Oh! Barca? I'm gonna do one of these. Good catch. Got it. Good catch.

Now what on that catch? Joe? Joe. This is my character. It's on camera. It's on camera, you guys are stealing. It what on that catch? Joe? Joe? This is my character. It's on camera. It's on camera. You guys are stealing it. It's on camera. Rantz, cut away.

The second one's going to be a 17 to hit, which probably doesn't hit. Oop. Waste of bulk. So... Actually, no. It would have been a fan-pump one. Yeah. So 27, can you please give me a Fortitude save?

Because you said please. A natural 20. Yeah. I'm voting. So 27, can you please give me a fortitude save? Because you said please. The natural 20. Really? Are you lying? Nope. Okay, well I'm glad- Are you lying? I'm rooting for you guys right now.

I'm glad you wasted it. Rooting for you, I don't wanna roll that. I don't wanna roll that. So I do- I'm proud of it. Two D8 plus one extra D6, cause I'm in my stance. Two D8 plus one extra D6, cause I'm in my stance. In your stance.

Three, stance. And then another D6. You got it. 13 points of damage. 13 points of damage. Do we know if it's like, it's not weak to anything? Correct, it was not weak to anything. Cause I can choose my strike to be like,

force or void or whatever um Okay, so I do that and I moved interrupt people I guess for my last Action I'm gonna also spend my last focus point to harmonize self I think of myself 16 more hit points back knowing you may now be the target of its yeah 16 more hit points back. Knowing that you may now be the target of its attacks. I'm outside of the ice thing, but I'm right in front of the naga.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, folks, we're starting the top of round four with Buggles right after this quick break. It's round four, Buggles. So Buggles, I feel like he has to get out of there or else he will die. Like with this ongoing cold damage that he has in this hazard, this cone, he will go down like this round if he doesn't leave. So I have to do an acrobatics check to see if I can move, right?

It's just difficult terrain. I think everything, all movement is just double. I don't think you- Oh, I don't have to make the check to make it- It's not unlike the pitching boat, no. Okay, great. So he has just enough movement, if he spends all three actions to get out of the cone,

like back by a Gik-Mak. Nice. Oh yeah. And get out of this area of effect. It's just, ah, ah, dodging like all this stuff, slipping on the deck with the snow falling and everything. He just barely gets out. Okay. Just barely finds its way,

finds his way out with a triple move. It is Barnes's turn. Barnes is good. Barnes is good. Oh wait, give me a flat check. Oh right. You'll take five points of persistent cold. Nope.

And you will continue to be persistently cold. Meanwhile, checking in with Matthew, him and Joe are having a bit of a side convo here. Do you hear anything you said? Let's turn up their mics. Gotta delay. Gotta delay? I don't think it's gonna help.

Are you gonna heal anyone? Oh yeah, I'll heal you if you'd like. What about Sakawatche? Dude, I'll heal you if you'd like. What about Sakawatche? Dude, I seriously don't care if you guys. That's just rude, man. If you three action heal him. I would love it if that guy died and it ended the campaign.

It would be amazing. Like, you see what happens to the valley? You roll rocks, set the right! We just turned to Deniji, and we're just like, guess he wasn't that important. Exactly. I don't think we wanna play anymore. The whole motivation behind this is just to stick it to Troy? No, no, I'll heal him.

All right, I will delay. You don't have to. You do what you think makes sense. I think he would do this in the moment. I think it's stupid in so many ways, and gonna lead to us just dying. But I feel like he would do in the moment, and he will three action heal.

So he's gonna pray for the Keeper's intercession in this moment. Keep on deliver us from this hell and Everybody but Zephyr. Unfortunately, it was just too far away But you get Gek and Buggles in there. Yeah, and he would stabilize what's his face and Same as Saka watch it. Saka watch it and let's see. Come on. He'd bring him back, he would wake up. Yes, yes, actually, I'm sorry, yes. This would bring him up. He'll be wounded. Come on.

Come on! It's not bad. It's not bad. I saw one and a seven, I thought it was two ones. That is 14, 14 points. That's helpful. Yeah. 14 points for all of us.

Healing, that does bring you up. And I just really to get those checks out We got to get these checks out. I'm gonna do it right now. Yeah It is kick mox turn my turn I like this juice Barnes is gonna be but sorry he's I know Just can't help yourself. It's just Even always needs to steal the spotlight from the bar. I bet you wouldn't even hold the door for you if you are can or call them into a game market same DC That was convincing really Yeah, I see you're trying okay, daddy 17 for 25

In the sky you see part of this mirage Vision start to fizzle out. One successful check. We need three? We need X. How many actions? Two.

Do you have a four action ability? Haste? No, but I was gonna try. Haste. I can only, I have, I'm fucking slowed. Wait, do you have haste? I don't right now. I can swap it out later, but I Have slow and another thing

Okay, yeah, I'm not gonna be able to get out of this It's 20 feet to the nearest space. I know we're right. I mean, it's just And out of caps. So instead I will draw a potion from my belt. The old post draw. Post draw. Post draw. Little post draw, little chest pain.

Get it going again, LeBalli. Shump, fuh, shump, fuh, shump, fuh. Something's twisting in there. Ah! Francis, could you get the defibrillator running? Just get a warm-dop. Just get a warm-dop. It's the Naga's turn. No, it's my turn.

No. Sorry, it's Gic's turn. This is amazing. I think this is like Gic never went in round two. Yeah, I don't think I actually did anything. So it's the Naga's turn? No! Okay.

All right, Gic is, my two actions, I'm gonna also try to do a check. It's all I can do. Okay. Arcana or occultism? Seeing Barnes do it, I'm gonna do arcana. Somebody give her a D20 that works. Stop rolling D12, Sydney. Yeah, she sees that crackling happen.

She sees her own breath lifting into the air. Everything feels dreamlike, and she she's like this is not real Come on Yes, that is 16 that's gonna be a 27 Or we know I'm sorry. I don't have an 11. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's 16 17 18 19 20 23 Fail 18, 19, 20, 20, 20, 23. Fail. Are you serious? Wait, what was your plus two?

Wait, both of your skills are not higher than that, right? I have a plus seven. I thought I had a plus 11. That's my performance modifier. 23. 23. I'm right, right, 16, plus seven. Arcana and occultism are both plus seven.

No boney's. Floating aroundy. No floating bones. No floating boney's. There's no boney's floating around. No floating bones. Floating boney's. There's no boney's out there. No float bones. Your performance doesn't give you a bone. No float bones.

My performance gives me a bone? I don't know. Gives you a good one. Not on. No. I didn't know if you had a plus one sitting out there from something. No, I ended the composition ended and then I can't do it because I only have two actions. I am the worst person to get slowed in this.

Well, yeah. That's it. That's my whole turn. As I said, it's the Naga's turn. The Naga is standing toe to toe with an elf. Come at me, bro. A drunk elf. Such a filthy drunk elf. It is not slowed. It has spells. I think I want to bite you. Do you live? Rude.

I love poison. Let me look at my... Oh, I still have one of those, huh? I live forever. Maybe I'll hold on to that one. I'm gonna bite you sorry before you do It's sock a watch Easter Yes, son of a bitch When I wake him up brother amy is like in the wind in the store whatever there's no storm right? It's not raining. No, just the light just like it's an illusion break us out of it do something nice Okay, he's convulsing So here's what I'll say. I wasn't taking- Oh right, he might still be-

I wasn't having him roll reflex saves early on. He would have taken damage, but I know that max damage, he would have never gone down until that critical failure that put him down. So now he's wounded one, and he's prone, and he was convulsing, but the thing that knocked him down

and you bringing him back up, he's now out of this. And he's coming to you and he's like, listening to you, and he will crawl. I think he can get out of the space into this little half space. What is crawl? Is it just five feet or is it half speed?

I think it's half speed, but then it would be quarter speed. Let me make sure. It's not good. You move five feet Yeah, so no we can't crawl All right, so come on back and that's all mass to attempt in our car Then he doesn't have two moves to yeah, so he can't crawl he can I should I do should I?

Should I try to stop this illusion? It's disbelief break it use your mind. You're the chosen one Let me see what my screen Use your mind to break it. Sacrifice your life. Let me see where my skills are. We're all going to die, Sakawachi. I'm going to let him use his fortune telling lore. Okay. For this.

That to me is as occultism as it is cool. He's got a plus 15. Okay. Jesus. Okay. Who's this guy? You want me to roll it? And I failed with a 22

Of course you did Seven natural 15 plus 7 22 well at least we know I need is Well better than 50% chance, and now he can't get out of there. He's just like ah He crawls. It's our only chance. I'm watching, we have to break this. I'm gonna die. Yep, probably. Everybody roll a reflex save, except Gic.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. It's the Naga's turn. I interrupted. No, the Naga went. Oh, you interrupted. I interrupted, because he goes before the Naga. Thank you, okay. Sorry.

Naga chooses to commit suicide. He was gonna bite. I'm to bite Zephyr. Naga, then the situation. Thanks for reminding him, Joe. Oh my god. I'm sorry. I didn't even think. You're such a rules... Such a good friend.

Boy. It goes to bite you. I mean, he's skipping its whole turn. You should have skipped this turn, because it goes to bite Zephyr and it rolls a natural 20. Yep. Thanks, Joe. Nott. I can't believe this is my fault. You should have skipped this turn because it goes to bite Zephyr and it rolls a natural 20. Yep, thanks Joe. Not... I can't believe this is my fault.

Not a name character, we'll say. Double damage to the tune of 28 points of piercing damage. Okay. And then I need a fortitude save. 28 fortitude. It's a 23. Final answer? Yeah, yeah.

You are stupefied one. Okay. Not the end of the world for you, but you have been infected by this poison. You are now infected and at stage one of Luna, Luna, Naga, Venom, Poison. Poison. So Luna Naga, wow. I just raised it. Naga bro. I just raised stage four. Let's hope it doesn't get that bad. Oh. I don't think we're getting to stage four. I think we'll be dead before we hit stage four. She'll be at the bottom of the ocean before stage four. It has two more actions.

Maybe we should just whip her over the edge. It is a very precarious spot to be fighting, but you are a mullet. You told me to go there. That was your fault too. You were literally going to that square. At least you're out of the ice. It's a lot of shit. I know, I'm hearing this.

This is interesting. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. Boo! It starts glowing intensely. And you see it scales at the bottom of its feet, start to like drip some sort of strange moisture. And that's the end of its turn. Now everyone except Gic, Buggles, and Sefer. So why don't I go the other way?

Barnes, Ramious, and Sakawatchee need to roll a reflex save. The body of the first Naga has been torn to shreds by this ice shrapnel. Fail. Critical fail. Sakawatchi. Oh no. I mean, I assume 18. Sakawatchi also failed.

Oh my God. 19 you said? 18. 18, not a critical. Oh, okay. 21. All right, fail, fail, and fail. Not a critical for Saka Watch. How many points did you heal him? 14?

14. All right. Eight, seven, and 15 points of cold damage. So Saka Watch, he goes to dying one. I rate two. Dying two. Oh, dying two, because he's wounded, that's right. Blink, Link. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Oh, s- Good news. Zephyr's turn. Oh, sick. Zephyboo. Zephy-2. Help us, Zephyboo.

One check has been made. You're down? No, I'm up. Because it wasn't a critical. Your occultism is higher than mine. Yeah. I think I'm gonna try to do the two action dispel first. Oh yeah, you're the perfect person.

I do get a negative one now, cause I'm stupefied to my check, but. But you can get two attacks off him with one action, so you're the perfect person. I know, so I'll do occultism. Ooh, ooh. 20? Sorry, I was adding. Make the noise when you add, 20? Sorry, I was adding.

You make the noise when you add, right? Yep. Yeah, 13 plus seven is a 20. I thought yours was higher than mine. It's a plus eight normally, but it's a plus seven right now, because I'm stupefied. No.

No, I'm not a knowledge girl. I'm not a knowledge girl either. I'm not a, you know, we hang out. I'm a sangher. We drink together. I know. I'm not a knowledge girl. I'm not a knowledge girl either. I'm not a, you know, we hang out. I'm a sangher. We drink together. I know. Obviously stupid. Let's die together. Just like you. Let's die together again.

What did you roll? What did you roll total? 20. Wait, arcana or occultism? Occultism. Okay. And what did you roll? Occultism? 23.

Was it occultism or arcana? Or it doesn't matter, they're the same, but I, which one should I do? Well, the reason I asked is, as she's talking, I'm looking and I realize the DCs are different. Oh. And so that was a success. Oh!

So you have two successes. Okay. Huge. And the sky part. Wait, which is the lower one, Arcana or? Occultism. Occultism is the lower one. Yeah, occultism is the lower one.

Okay. I'm so glad I caught that, because I was- Thank you. I was just looking at this, I was like, oh shit, because you would ask me, are they the same? I'm like, yeah. Yeah. I just misread it.

We answered real sarcastically. I did. There was a real penis about it. That's amazing. All right. So you have two successes. I've been jumping with support of you all episode. The snow caps.

Snow caps. You've been nothing but supportive. All right, so you have two successes. Skid believes it's three. That seems to be a very common number in these type of things. I mean, this is real, real bad. Two successes. I did not get one.

My last action, I'm gonna do Flurry of Blows. Come on, that's you. I mean, this is a good turn. Where I come from. So that's, hey. 27 for the first one. I keep going 27 on one of them. So 27.

27 doesn't hit. Make fun. Wrap it up with a natural. 27 doesn't hit. Make fun. Wrap it up with a natural. Push the snake! Fried snake. I roll the natural one again. And I don't have a battle cap.

Alright, let's deal, let's start with the good news. Fortitude save. Okay, let's start with the good news of your damage. I think I may have failed the fortitude save, so that's good. 20 on the fort. Yep, fail. So you're stunned one. Four.

One round. Okay. And then you take 12 points of damage. Okay. And now a fan fumble from the great state of. From the great state of. Mississippi.

Maryland. Hey. From the great state of? From the great state of? Mississippi. Maryland. Hey. From the great city of Baltimore. Hey. Hey. Hey. Matt from Baltimore, where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Hi, Matt.

Your attack misses, Arnache turns its lonely eyes to you as the miasma of Joe O'Brien's luck infects you. Oh my god. No. For the next one D four rounds, any successful targeted attacks deal minimum damage. That is insane. Three rounds.

Three rounds. Oh my god. Wow, she's the only one right now that is dealing any any of this. Hey Matt. Outside of the... I hope we never come to Baltimore. I hope Kate never meets you in real life.

Because it's on site. Them spidin' warts. Man, that would be great for a monster. Because it's on site. That would be great for a monster. Yeah, minimum Dimage. Kate did like 90,000 pushups yesterday too, Matt, so. She's real strong.

I'm ripped. Yeah, she's ripped. She's real strong. I'm ripped. Yeah, she's ripped. She's yoked as hell. She could beat up Prop Joe. Yeah. Prop Joe? It's round five. The wires from 7 Baltimore.

People may die. Not just characters, people. It's Buggles' turn. All right, so Buggles like out of his thing. He's still stupefied. He's going to attempt an occultism. Nice. Come on, Buggles to attempt an occultism. Nice. Yes.

Come on, Bugles, save us with your mind! Natural 19! Hey! That is a 28. Yes! Yay, it was three. The sky parts. Yes!

Whatever was causing these explosions, you think you are out of that trouble. You just gotta deal with this Naga. You have one action left, Bugles. Okay. And a clear shot of this thing. Oh, and I- Oh, so far.

Oh, that's, yeah, I don't really have any one action things that I can do. Huge. I just saved Sakawatchi's life. Oh, you know what, actually? Oh no, it's, range sucks. Yep, yeah, I'm out of range for the couple of things that I could do. Shit. I'm just going to...

I'm gonna try to raise shield. I'm gonna do my flat check to see if I can. Yes, I do. That would have... that would have ended my persistent damage if that was my persistent damage flat check. Roll the persistent damage flat check. I make it. Okay. So no more persistent damage, but I do raise a shield. That's the end of my turn. End of your turn, Brother Ramious.

Um... hmm... hmm... Boy. Oh boy. Um... Hmm Boy Oh boy Trying to decide if I should You're just gonna run in there and fight this thing. I mean right now at four hit points So I'm gonna have to have to give myself a little bit of buffer But if I heal you you're gonna run in there and kill us yeah, I think so Okay, I'm gonna heal Barnes.

Heal Barnes. Okay. Well, actually, let's risk it. Let's risk it for Sakawatchi, am I right? Yes! For Sakawatchi! For Sakawatchi! For Sakawatchi! I'm gonna do battle medicine on Barnes. Sakawatchi.

Battle medicine on Barnes. You've got this. You've always had it. You can't do battle medicine on me. I can, because I'm a medic, my friend. Oh. Once per day, I can do battle medicine to somebody I've already mentioned before.

Okay, wow, that's cool. Sure you wanna burn that now? I think this is the time. What DC are you going for, Joe? Oh, actually, I'm sorry. No, I will not do that. I'll reverse it. Because yeah, I'll reverse that.

I'll do it on Sakuachi. Battle medicine on Sakuachi? Yeah, and I'll do the minimum battle medicine on Sakuachi. I was going to do Stabilize, but that's two actions. So he will do battle medicine on Sakuachi. I was gonna do Stabilize, but that's two actions. So he will do battle medicine on Sakawachi. That makes a lot more sense. And if I roll a natural one, I'll kill him. That'd be so funny.

Natural 18, critical success. There we go. Wow. So I actually heal him. So he would be wounded too, but I heal him for, oh, not that much, 11, 11. Okay. And then I will cast heal on Barnes for two actions.

Two action heal on Barnes, that is 37. Nice. Wow. Hell yeah. That's a lot of dim-dam. Yes. That's a lot of dim-dam indeed. That's a lot of dim damn indeed. So I was going to do Battle Medicine on you and then AOE heal, like including myself, but like I'll Battle Medicine him and send you those hit points.

Thank you. That may have saved Sakurashi's life, but this Naga is still kicking and it's Bones's turn. Okay. So I made a mistake. I would have had to do a swap action to get the healing potion out. So I'm not going to, I'll reckon I'm recon not to do that. I would have just raised shield. Okay.

So now instead I'm going to charge in there, and of course I am 30 feet away from the Naga, so it's going to take me a double move. Ah! Speed's 25. Speed is 25. You can't move up and reflect? Even so, it's two actions. Yeah. And then there's two of me. So, doesn't really make... And we don't have that bonus anymore, right? reflect. Even so, it's two actions. Yeah. Right. And then there's two of me. So.

Right. Doesn't really mean. And we don't have that bonus anymore, right? Nope. I took it off. Okay. As long as it's off, we're good. So, I will move up and I won't stand on the edge

because that was a silly idea, Joe. I'm on the edge. It was a sick jack. And I will take it. I also liked move up, hit and move back. But being on the ice is deadly. Here we go. The ice doesn't exist anymore. It doesn't. I know. I was saying last round when she was saying she was going to move up and then move back.

Nattie 17. Nice! Help! 32 to hit. Critical. Double damage! Double, double, double, double damage! Cracked. Oof, okay.

Gnawcious, looking at your dice. 17 points of damage. Doubled though, so. Oh, 34. 34 points of damage. Sorry, I forgot what it was. Massive difference. Wait, 34 points of damage? Yes. Dead. Yay! Yes! 34 points, sorry I forgot it was a crit. Massive difference. Wait, 34 points of damage? Yes. Dead.

Yay! Yes. Yes. Once I saw my roll, I was like, all thoughts of the crit went out of my head because I was like, wow, that's terrible. Oh my god. Holy shit.

Yay! Wow. Kill, dead, the vision in the sky, you have thawed it away, you have cleared your minds, and that cleared the skies. These two hulking bodies of the Nagas lie atop the deck. And Sakawatchi is like coming to, and as he does, he sees Ramius over him

and he like shrinks away from Ramius a little bit, kind of like pulls his body towards the edge of the boat. All right, it's okay. It's gone. It's gone, Sakawachi. Yes. Is everyone all right? Yes, I believe so, is everyone all right?

No. No. Buckles and I are hurt. We're very hurt. See, Ramius is just like, has all these wounds all over him from the cold. Barnes pulls a skookry out of the Nagas' body, like wipes blood, and he turns around

and sees the expression on Sakawatch's face. He's like, why are you looking at us like that? Where are my friends? Oh, oh no! They were still down below the deck with us. They were convulsing. They were downstairs. They were seasoned.

We have to check on them. Just like you were. Can I check on them? Sure, I mean, we can come. I can help. You don't want us to come with you? I just... We just saved your life.

I can sue them. I can help them. I know. I'm sorry. Yes, I trust you. Takawaji, we didn't do that. We got rid of it. What did you see in your vision?

Why are you afraid of us? I, I just make sure my friends are okay. Yes, of course, go, hurry. He kind of slinks away and opens up the door. And he's like, Anuma, Deneji. He calls down the stairs and he kind of stumbles down. And you hear grunts and moans. Yes, yes, I go out to your house.

Yes. A new one's coming. Sounds like a new one's coming. I'm such a headache. They're all right. Are you all right? They're all right. Are you all right? Are you all right?

Yeah, they're talking back and forth. He comes back up and he's still looking at you all very warily. Sorry if I am looking at you strangely. I only have vague memories of what I saw, but I recall an acute feeling of betrayal or dismay. This is just my feeling from what I experienced, but I believe you may somehow be involved with this entity slumbering under the crown of the world, and perhaps with my grandmother's missing Salman Khar friend. And if I seem scared, it's because I do not know if this makes you allies or enemies to

my own cause. Though how you've treated me up to this point certainly colors my perception. However, I'm having second thoughts about where we go from here. Somewhere in the sky you hear echoes of that same scream that shattered the ice and the boat shakes underneath your feet. We'll see you next time. Oh. Oh. Ow.

I didn't think that. We did nothing but save him. Yeah. He doesn't trust us. What do you mean? I don't know. This is kinda rude, actually. Yeah.

Wasted spells. Oh, you were mean to me in my dream. We better kill him like we planned. Yeah. Right. Like we planned all along. Like we planned all along. Ha ha ha ha.

I've been playing all along. I've been playing all along. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. It's time to make your membership official.
