(D&D5e): Eberron: Ashat's Adventurers - Episode 19: Rise of the Mimic Moon Part 1

[00:00:03] During the Last War, when the Elves of Aranol annexed Valinar from Seir, the Ashat Ranch stood defiant in the Borderlands. At the end of the Last War, when the morning creeped across Seir, decimating all in its path, the Ashat Ranch stood defiant in the Borderlands.

[00:00:26] Now, five years after the Last War, Mama Abby of the Ashat Ranch stands defiant but hopeful, with plans for a future for wayward Seirin survivors. She'll need help in this new expansion. Help from friends and found family. Help from Ashat's Adventurers.

[00:00:51] The One Less Die, a 5th edition D&D actual play podcast. We are continuing our campaign of Ashat's Adventurers, or the Ashats. And with me tonight are my Ashats. Starting on my left.

[00:01:20] That's me, I'm Dave. I'm playing Copper, the Warforged Artifizard, with his faithful companion. What's his version? Rob? Yeah, I know his name. Rob War? No, he's Rob 4C. 4C. Yeah, he's not Rob 4 yet. One more death and 4D. Yeah. We get Rob 4. He's almost Rob 4, not quite. And then I will never... Never kill my friend. Although you know you get a B-swarm attack, it's like, oh my god, I just swallowed a B. Yeah, basically.

[00:01:51] I want to throw that into a game somewhere. You have just lost most of your audience. They have no idea what the hell that's referencing. Oh, that's fine. Look it up. Rob 4 and swallowed a B. Yeah, pretty easy. Yeah. And, uh... Is that it? I mean, there's more of a... The Rob 4 thing, the swallow a B. Yeah, basically. It's fine. Next to him is... Merit. I am Kirklus Evandros. Ranger Rogue. Recently Humbled.

[00:02:22] Uh... Yeah. Man, those... Those bladed boomerangs, man. Goddamn. That did not go my way. That was a lot of them. Yeah. Hey, you have some now. I was briefly more boomerang than Elf. A little bit. He's more boomerang now than Elf. Twisted and evil. Wait. Australian and... That's just the same thing twice.

[00:02:50] We don't have any Australian viewers, do we? Uh... Just one. Not anymore. Sorry, guys. And that person talking is... I'm Vintan Polaris. I almost called myself Alatar. I am a, uh... Paladin Warlock Bard. Um... I am a, uh... A member of the, uh...

[00:03:19] Well, sort of a member of the Church of the Silver Flame. Yeah. Ugh. Um... And I am not... A wizard. Yes. Shock. Disbelief. I mean, you say that sarcastically, but it kinda is. You're still a magic user. I don't really focus on that, though. Like, I mean, I take the spells because I gotta take the spells, but mostly they're just fuel for punching things. That is true. Yeah. If you were a barbarian, I'd be surprised. I'll say that.

[00:03:49] He's not a big wizard like he would be playing in games. I can't believe Tyler didn't know that he could smite things. The next thing you have to do is play a, like, a human fighter with a longsword. Like the most plain Jane thing ever? I don't think I can do that. He also has to have fun. Ah. Really? Like, maybe if it was a one-shot... Actually, no. I did play a generic fighter-y type guy in one game.

[00:04:19] It was a one-shot. We were musketeers. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Call of Cthulhu game that was set in like, 18th century or 19th century France. Yeah. Well, because magic wasn't an option. It's when magic is an option and you choose the non-magic rule. Well, it could have been an option had he survived. The problem is that he died horribly. But I died horribly. Him and Nathan both got desiccated and I think fell off the Eiffel Tower. So, yeah. They were dealing with a mummy in Paris.

[00:04:49] And there was a fight on the Eiffel Tower. And only Kyle's character survived. I was shocked. Yeah, kinda put a damper on that game. It wasn't supposed to be a one-shot. It just went badly. Well, it was... There was a lot more going on and then that game just kinda ended because... Because we died. Most of the party died and it seemed like nobody wanted to continue playing, so... I mean, my character was dead. I could re-roll the character. I could re-roll the character. Your cousin is like... My twin brother!

[00:05:19] I am here to avenge my brother's dad! You couldn't be good at that. But... Anyway, yeah. And that's Aaron. So, um... Yeah, um... Last time you guys were here... Well, last we left off. Um... So, it's been about three or four weeks now since the events all were out in Zendrik. Since your expedition up to Zendrik. Um... Since then, um... This, uh...

[00:05:47] Persistent purple moon has resided in the sky day and night. Um... And... Like, not changing its orbit or like it's not doing any kind of like movement across the sky or any of that. Hmm. Um... And it's causing some troubles in Corvair. Um... There's been some earthquakes. Some, uh... Some tidal shifts have happened. Uh... Weather has been kind of loopy of late. Uh... Some airships have gone down from high... From turbulent winds.

[00:06:17] Um... And, uh... Also, in the last three or four weeks, um... Probably in the last three weeks, um... Falling stars have been occurring. Uh... Impacting various locations in Corvair. Uh... Though the, um... The, uh... Actually, the Church of the Silver Hand has been, uh... Very diligent in investigating these impacts. And, uh... No one's... There's rumor and hearsay as to like what's going on with those impacts and stuff. Uh...

[00:06:47] Fortunately, they've been... They... Even when they've hit, like, uh... Near settlements and some of that, um... The Church of the Silver Hand is... Prompted out... Is, like, one of the first people... One of the first groups out there. And keep people back. Um... Oh, so they're men in black. And they're contained in the aliens. They're kind of... Yeah, they're kind of acting like that. Um... But it's becoming... They're becoming... It's... It's definitely, uh... A thing where, like, the Silver Hand is definitely, uh... Becoming understaffed. Because they are dealing with so many reports of these...

[00:07:16] These impacts. Um... So, um... So, is the Silver Hand any related to the Silver Flame? Sorry, the Silver Flame. That's what I meant. Not the Silver Hand. I was getting the emerald... Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the Silver Flame. That's what I meant. I don't know why I said Silver Hand. Cause you just think you wore crap down. Yeah, maybe, uh... Maybe, uh... The Argent Dawn... Or the Argent Dawn. Um... So... Hmm?

[00:07:46] What? Your dog stinks! Um... So, uh... Well, that's going... That's been going on for the last three or four weeks. So what have you guys been up to? Um... Since you've returned with that giant Dragon Shard relic. It's made of pure Sybaris. And it has, uh... Strange runes on it. Um... That seem to, uh... Correlate with... Like, they seem to be ancient iterations of the, uh... Of the different Dragon Mark symbols. Um... But, um...

[00:08:15] They, uh... It... And you guys did discover from last week... Or from the last session. That, uh... It was, uh... Something they called a... Something the... The Dragon that was there at the temple that you guys were covered from. Uh... They called it a dimensional lock. Um... And... It seemed to interact pretty weirdly with, uh... With a ring that, uh... Fintan had on his person. That... The Quetzel called a... A dimensional key. Um...

[00:08:44] Created a giant sky beam in the sky. Probably... Didn't cause... Probably wasn't the reason for that weird new moon in the sky. Probably was. Probably not. Maybe. Who knows? Yeah, I mean, come on. How likely is it? It's about as likely as us having stolen a... Skyship from a legitimate person. Yeah. True. Or stealing, uh... Like a giant, like... Uh... Sibir's shard from, like, a cave. From...

[00:09:14] From a bunch of, uh... From a bunch of, uh... From a tribe of drow that were living inside of a temple that you... Conquistador, uh... Against. Just bombarded with cannon fire. Yeah, that was awesome. If we did that, that would've been awesome, yeah. Yeah. Um... Yeah, so... What have you guys been up to in the last three or four weeks? Uh... Well, I mean... I... I was probably working on my music a bit. Practicing my... Certainly, uh... Yeah, yeah.

[00:09:44] Well, working on, um... Uh, uh, uh... My... Goblin titties. Uh... Sort of fade. Yeah. Which is a name, yeah. Yeah. Fade to con. Uh... Also, you know, uh... Practicing my... My cutting words and stuff. Um... You know, seeing if I can... If I can truly distract people well while we're, uh... While we're fighting by insulting them thoroughly. So you just walk around town randomly insulting people? Mostly sparring, but...

[00:10:13] Mostly doing that sparring, but... Oh, okay. Oh, so you could... What's that viking thing that they would do? Like, they'd go and do like, uh... Rap battles. Rap battles, basically. Or rhyme battles. That's actually a rap story. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um... That's a good viking rap battles. That is legit. I can't remember what it's called. It was in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. And it was hilarious. Because it's like, wait, this is... This is happening? Um... But yeah, uh... So you've been taking up more of the bardic arts. Yes. Okay. Uh...

[00:10:42] What have the other two been doing? I've been buying materials for all of my spells that I did not have material components for. That's fair. Because I need those for the wizarding aspect of it. Yeah, well the new apothecary in town is more than willing to take orders and stuff. And you guys have a train nearby, so... A rail station nearby now, so the lightning rail can go back and forth between your town and gatherhold. Mm-hmm.

[00:11:09] And I think by now, I would assume that I would get the Wand of Chromatic Orb functioning, the one I was designing. That's like adjustable, like you pick the element on the wand. Oh! I've done a couple of rolls for it. Roll one more time. It looks like a revolver. You really just have to spin the cylinder to the right element. That's pretty cool. Like you're holding it like a wand, and you just like... You drop the side out, you spin it, you play roulette. Yeah, basically. I just have to ask you one simple question.

[00:11:39] Did I roll lightning? Or fire? Did I rock? It's the first time my D20s have seen the light since they had their rum bath last time. I've kept them in solitary confinement, faced against the wall the entire time. Drunk in solitary confinement! Yeah. Let's see if this helped or not. I think it was called university filming. Hey, at least he didn't like... Hey man, you can do this. No, no, hold on. Uh huh. Before you rolled that, I said, hey man, you can do this. So take advantage.

[00:12:09] Okay. Or no, add a... No, it's not advantage. Just add a... Don't waste it. Don't waste it. It's fine. It's between... Arcana? Yeah. Total of nine. Nine! Nine, my favorite number to roll. Happens all the time. It's getting there. Yeah. It's getting there. But it's not quite there. How about a roll a week? Alright, fine. Yeah, roll, roll another one. That's been three weeks. Uh, that's a... Eleven?

[00:12:40] Eleven. On one. And a, uh, twenty... Or a nineteen total on the other. Okay. By the third week, you're like... You're like... I think it works! Yeah, yeah. Now I have something I can sell and make money. Yeah. Uh, yeah. And then what's, uh, what's our rogue ranger been doing? I have been sneaking around in the darkness trying to stand up for living resistance. Alright, so you've been recruiting. I've been recruiting, I've been sending people back and forth to my island. Okay, uh, roll...

[00:13:10] To see if I can... Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean to get you off. See if I can actually build the base out a little bit. Start collecting those great supplies from the goblins. Yeah. Okay. Uh, roll, uh, roll a persuasion to, uh, or, um... Uh, I'd say persuasion, er... Yeah, persuasion would probably be the best place. I guess. I'm not good at this. Oh. Eighteen. Okay. Uh, give me a second. You managed to recruit three people to your cause.

[00:13:37] A wizard, a barbarian, and, uh, something else. You're not sure what. You call them the beach. Uh, you ended recruiting about eleven peaking. Sweet Jesus. Just passing through, like, like the... Coming in and out of a, uh, of a shot and such. I'm sure there's more here than just me. I don't know. They're all wearing chains now, but... Whoa! Whoa! They're thoroughly recruited! Your words, I'm mine.

[00:14:08] Hey, I object to slavery. Indentured servitude. Indentured servitude. Yeah. You've been recruiting your, uh, your gorilla army. Clearly it's not just me that has beef with the, uh, the undying court. Yeah. Seems like it. Um, actually, so speaking of your, um, uh, your talks, because you've been having some dealings the last, like, couple weeks with, uh, with the, uh, the goblins and such. Um, actually, Faye comes to you, uh, probably in the, the tavern.

[00:14:38] In the wee hours of the morning? Yeah. Yeah. Well, sure. Uh, in, in the shul. Like, in the ashul. Yeah. Um, and, uh, uh, she, she has kind of a, um, uh, uh, sort of, kind of a pensive look to her. It's like, um, so I have a missive from, from King, uh, I can't remember his name. Fuck. I just looked it up. Fuck. What is his name?

[00:15:08] Karasiu's memory? Who's that goblin? What's his name? It's he cool. It's he lame. We were talking about what's his name. What is it? I had to win the game. You need to just go with goblin king. I could just say that, but I wanted to actually get, I wanted to actually have some, like, actual, like, flavor. Flavor. It's currently tasting my cats. Yeah.

[00:15:31] Um, I have a, I have a missive for you from, uh, King, uh, Haruk, um, regarding, uh, a, a deal. Here. She, like, hands away at one of those, um, um, uh, basically, uh, inscription stone, or like a, like a, uh, it's like a magical shard that, like, uh, dictates a, uh, dictates a, um, a message. Okay. One of these cases is a message from King.

[00:16:01] Um, yeah, so it, uh, you, you, you take it. I take it. I listen to the message. Okay. Um, it actually, it, it, yeah, so it pops up and then actually a little glowing image of Haruk himself, uh, manifests on the, uh, on the, on the, on the data slides. You're my only hope. Yeah. Uh, Hark! Kirk! I hope this sees you well. I have some, uh, I have an arrangement that might, uh, might fit both our parties.

[00:16:31] I hope you're, you're reading this, or I hope you're hearing this in a, in a secure location. If not, I'll wait. Now the terrain is a true look. Yeah, you're, well, you're in the tower. I turned it off, I head back to my room. Yeah, it's like, yeah, so you go up to your room. I shall thoroughly inspect the area to make sure there are no eavesdroppers around. It'll work. Ah, crap. That was a perception.

[00:17:03] Uh, eight. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Seems clear. Alright, I read the message. So you like, you put it back on, he's like, waiting, he's like, now that you're on a location, a private location. Experience speed! Damn it! Goddamn! I have a proposition. Um, it seems that one of our, one of our fair towns in Daghun has gone quiet.

[00:17:33] Um, several months, several weeks ago, a large sinkhole consumed nearly half of the town of Recklor. And, with all these, uh, uh, with all these turbulent, uh, uh, turbulent earthquakes and, uh, and weather, uh, weather, uh, and storms that have been affecting our coastline, uh, I fear, perhaps that we may, we seem to have lost contact with the remaining survivors of that disaster.

[00:18:02] Now, I know that we have a bit of an arrangement, you and I, between, uh, your, your, uh, some of your more covert operations. I would be willing to, I would be willing to, uh, perhaps gift a friend some, some very large toys, or some, some large renovation supplies for their new, uh, estate.

[00:18:25] If, uh, if you would do me the, uh, do me the, the, uh, assistance of, of investigating the town of Recklor and find out exactly why, um, our, our, uh, our citizens are, are no longer responding to missives or, uh, our scouts that have gone back, gone to check on the, the, the relief efforts have gone quiet as well.

[00:18:50] Oh, in, uh, if you read the, uh, this is, uh, the bottom of the description after this, uh, this message, uh, ends, you will see, uh, the exact details of the, of the, uh, the real estate shipment I'm sending, I will send you in return for these, uh, for these... Services? Services. Yes! And you're like, he's looking off the camera, like, and you heard somebody else in the camera recording say that?

[00:19:18] Um, and then it's like, uh, until, until we meet again in the flesh or in another one of these stones. How does this turn, how do you turn it off? It cuts out. Uh, and then, like, some, uh, root, some symbols, or some, uh, some, a message pops up on the actual, like, tablet itself, like, kind of ghostly, like, uh, magic and shit. Um, he's willing to give you, he's willing to arm your, uh, your island with a complement of 20 cannons.

[00:19:48] Ooh. Cool. Um, to protect yourself from naval attacks, if that ever becomes a problem. Um, in exchange for going to, uh, going and investigating what's going on in the, uh, the town of Recklor. All right. I think I can negotiate this. Okay. So I'll take the deal.

[00:20:12] Once I figure out what's going to go, what's actually going on, I shall take that information to him and negotiate that 20 cannons into something else. Yeah. Right. All right. Um. So I shall reply through Faye that, uh, I will take the job and I shall go to Recklor and determine what has happened to the town. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You go look for like, well, like you ask around where Faye is and she said, they said that we're, she was, uh, went back to, um, uh, Fintan's, uh, Fintan's quarters.

[00:20:41] And then you go see, like the doors close and like start about to knock and then you start hearing some really weird noises. It's like, oh, I will come back later. There's a legging on the door. Yeah. So, um, yeah. If you are a test, you're, you're, you're, uh. That's very optimistic. Yeah. Yeah. My constitution is okay. Some hours pass. Um, and, um, uh, yeah.

[00:21:06] Um, you guys, uh, uh, can convene, uh, wherever in, in the shop for like your, for your like gatherings or whatever. Okay. Okay. Uh, by the way, how, how long has it been since I got that griffin? Oh, that griffin? Um, my God, it's been like probably like three months at this point. Oh, okay. Yeah. It'll be like a year before I can actually. Yeah, he's like, he's like dog size now at this point.

[00:21:35] Maybe a little bit bigger. Okay. Not quite a pony. Okay. So you have the Sky Taxi, right? Yeah. How big is that? Uh, the Sky Cab is, uh, basically the size of a, it's basically that, it's that boat from, from, uh, from Thor Love and Thunder. Right. The, uh, yeah. So that could get us back and forth to. Yeah. Yeah. Make off. No, right. Yeah. Right. You'll have to, so the thing is, there's a shortcut to get there.

[00:22:06] You have to go through the Mormons. That's the straight, that's the basic, the short straight path, though it might be filled with danger because it's the Mormons. The other option is, um, going around, uh, basically following the, the death wall of the Mormons all the way to the coastline, uh, in Valinar. And then going across the Kraken Bay to Dargoon. Uh, which would basically double the trip. So from how many days to how many days?

[00:22:35] Um, I would say it's probably one day to two days. Also probably about like a day and a half to about three days. Yeah. Worth it. Kind of through the Mormons or, or going around? No, going around. Yeah. Hell no. Yeah. So I'll just see when you get these guys on board. Yep. Um, well, as you go to go find your, your crew and some of that, um, uh, Copper. Yes. So you don't sleep as a warforge, correct? Correct. Do you like go into like, um, a, I go basically into a hibernation mode where, um,

[00:23:05] I can perceive everything around. Yep. Roll a little safe. Or wisdom safe. Okay. Um, wisdom? Yep. 20 total? Um, so you, you're, you're in one of those like meditative stances, you're in one of those cycles that you're in. Mm-hmm.

[00:23:29] Um, and you're having trouble, like you're, you're, it's not dreaming, but you're for, for, for, for some period of time that you're not really aware, like not sure of, um, you're in like a dark space, um, like in your mind. Mm-hmm. And there's just this buzzing. And occasionally the buzzing is interrupted or like, there's like, you hear occasionally

[00:23:58] like, it's, you're almost like, you think you're maybe like remembering some like past memories of like, back when, before Seer became the Mormons. And like some of your friends, like, or like your, uh, your instructors and stuff like that, that drill sergeant is like. Can I try to remember like the, the swarm of bees spell? Maybe. It's, it's very big. You don't see, there's no, there's no visual. Mm-hmm. You're in a dark space and you're just kind of hearing like this persistent buzzing sound and you're like, copy, copy.

[00:24:28] And then it's like, it's just persistent like that and then like distorts and changes. And then you hear a knocking, you hear a knocking sound. And eventually the buzzing starts fading and you kind of come to and you realize you've been in your meditation cycle. Mm-hmm. And you hear the door knocking for your, uh, your room. Hmm. That was weird. Yeah. But okay. I'll get up. Stand up and walk over there. I don't know. Do workers just make noises when they walk? They probably don't. Whatever you want, man. They probably don't. It's make-believe land.

[00:24:58] Yeah, but it's magic. They do whenever you want to. When, yeah. Yeah, when his mouth opens and goes, like actually making the noise. The noise is with his mouth. Yeah. So you- I'll go over and check the door. Yeah. Oh. You open it. Wait, you said there's a knock on the door. I guess it was going to be, uh. You open the door. There's no one there. Okay, so we'll cut to mine. Yeah, cut to you. Yeah, so you open the door and then it cuts away from you. No, no, no. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[00:25:25] So I just open my eyes and I see a warforge there and Kirkless there and Kirkless looks at me. Oh, good. You're finally awake. Spill of that ambush, seems as us. And you're on a- you're in a cart and you're being geared up to the- you're in an arctic land. Yeah. No! Not again.

[00:25:52] Uh, but yeah, no, um, yeah, so you knock up- the knocking- you open the door and, uh, it's, uh, it's Kirkless. Uh, yes? What is it? I have a task that I'd like you to assist me with. Okay. Depends on what it is, but- I need to go and check on a goblin village. It was fallen halfway into a sinkhole and apparently all the survivors have drawn dark too. Okay.

[00:26:23] And is this going to be profitable? Profitable for us or are we doing this out of the kindness of our hearts? It's going to be very profitable for me and I'll cut you in on the deal. Okay. Well, fine. How do you feel about having a cannon arm? Oh, right! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Reef aside. Um. Okay. So this- this Kickstarter- Oh, God. This Kickstarter that we're going to be backing- Uh-huh. Also has a whole lot of prosthetics. Oh, yeah.

[00:26:53] It's- it's- so like they're basing it off of- They're heavily inspired by Sekiro. I was going to say he's like Sekiro, yeah. That was- that was the- the reason why I was like, oh shit, we need this. Yeah. So, anyway. He- him mentioning cannon arm. Yeah. Okay, fair. Yeah. That's cool. I'm always down for that sort of thing. Also, I'm just going to add cannon arm. Dude, hang on guys. Yeah. He's like- He's right. He's just dying it. He's like a huge, heavy-ass cannon arm. Alright, who's going to load me? And then you're like, you fire, it's like- What? Yeah.

[00:27:23] No, no, no. It's going to be full gun. It just swings out between his legs. Yeah, there you go. God, that train mech. That train's over. Yeah. Not a good design. But cool. So, are we talking like a two-pound gun, or are we talking like a nine-pound gun? I think it's a 16-pounder. Dear Lord. You know, that's not the weight of the gun, right? I know. That's the weight of the ammunition.

[00:27:56] Okay, so- Either way. Yeah, sure. That's the longest word of that, is what I was getting to before the interruption. We're just making a milk run. We go there, we check on the town. Oh, fuck! He did it. He did the thing. He called it a milk run. Yeah, so now it's going to be terrible. Yeah. Shut it all over again. That's fine. It was going to be terrible either way. We know this.

[00:28:22] Yeah, even if we said it's going to be horrible, it's not going to end up being easy. It's still going to be horrible. I know. But if we say it's going to be easy, it's still going to be horrible. So it doesn't really matter. It makes sense in character that I would tell it to you, it's going to be easy. Even though me, as the player, knows it's going to be a shit show. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, there hasn't been much going on in the past few weeks, so. I mean, there's been... The news has not been great, but... Watching the news.

[00:28:52] Earthquakes, bad weather. Tonight. It's like, oh, no. It impacts from above the sky. The elf news network. Everything's going to be ever on. Ever on news. Well, you guys are getting a lot of newspapers. Yeah. Because now they get a lightning rail that comes right to your town. Yeah. You actually get up-to-date news for the most part. Mm-hmm. Are they blaming us? No, nobody's blaming you guys. Okay, cool. What are you guys planning on doing with that Dragon Shark? Did you end up... Where did we put it?

[00:29:21] So, like, yeah, where did you... Where were we going to put it in the cave? If you kept the giant Dragon Shark, Simper's Dragon Shark, where did you keep it? Where were we going to put it in Gnarly Gnarly's cave? I think I already mentioned that last recording. I don't know why. We were going to, like, build a vault. In the cave. So, probably there. Okay. Don't worry, boss. I got this one out of control. I'll start digging right away.

[00:29:50] I think it's right to trust him. This is a terrible idea. Yeah. You say this directly in front of him. Probably. Yeah. That's the only idea we have. Oh, right. And he's using the boulette. Yes. You have a boulette. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, between the boulette and Gnarly Gnarly, he's building a chamber beneath the town of a shop for your secret Dragon Shark. And those monster parts. Yes.

[00:30:21] Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I just don't remember what we had collected from. I wrote them all down. Yeah. Well, we'll get to that. We're going to go on a selling run or a crafting spree or whatever. I haven't written down. Okay. The only thing I didn't write down is the last time we upgraded to town. I didn't write down how much that cost. I haven't. I think it was all of it. Yeah. Basically. Okay. All of it. Yeah. We're building a city here. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:30:48] So, I guess then, yeah. Then, yeah. You wake up and suddenly... And I'm on a boat. Yeah. You guys just, like, ragged into the, like, in his stupor. Like... How drunk was he? No. Not drunk. I'm not drunk. Just exhausted. Yeah. Goblins got stamina. Yeah. Tensu's floating disc. Stand on that. Let's go. You recover on the way there. Mm-hmm.

[00:31:18] Okay. So, yeah. I like that. That's how it actually happened. Okay. Yeah. You wake up and, like, to, like, a breeze. And, like, you look around and, like, you finally come to and it's just like, oh, good. You're finally awake. And, yeah. You're in the sky carriage. Or the sky cat. Guys? Where are we headed? Don't worry about it. To adventure. What kind of adventure? Goblin.

[00:31:47] Goblins can be pretty adventurous, eh? Eh? Eh? I told you he'd be in. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah. Indiana Jones did fake him along? I mean, I figured she might because it's a goblin village we're going to. I think she's running a message back. Yeah. She's running a message back. Okay. So, yeah. Yeah. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

[00:32:14] You guys go across the, uh, or go alongside the gray, the gray dead mist wall of the Mormons. All the way to the Mother Valinor coastline. Okay. And start crossing the, uh, the ocean to the, uh, across, uh, Kraken Bay. All right, my fine artificer. How hard would it be if you were to develop a cloaking device? For the ship, you mean? The ship. A localized invisibility field. I mean, I... Oh, an invisibility. I know invisibility.

[00:32:44] I could look for a cloak for the ship. I was going to say, I could just knit you a cloak if you like. It's like, what is this? They take his cloak, he wears all the damn time. The hands just turn into needles and just go at it. Nice. It just fabricates everything. Mm-hmm. But yeah, like, I know the spell invisibility. And the spell invisibility makes someone and everything that they're wearing turn invisible. So it's not just, like, meaty bits that turn invisible. So theoretically, that could be heavily modified.

[00:33:12] And basically have, like, a rune on the ship to just basically, like, tap it. Yeah. Whole ship turns invisible? Yeah. Mm-hmm. So that wouldn't even be difficult, eh? Probably not. It'll be difficult. Because no one's done it before. It would take some time. And, like, some... Probably, like... I'd say it would probably cost, like... I need the player's handbook, please. Okay. I think there's already a spell for what you're looking for. Is there? Something you guys can consider. Mm-hmm.

[00:33:42] Eventually. Eventually, yeah. Yeah, how far are you... How close are you... Because... So the Dead Mist Wall of the Mormons kind of just, like... It literally... It ends at the exact border of Seir. And also the coastline. The shoreline is just mist. Like a mist. So how close are you hiking the coastline? Probably a good kilometer standoff. Okay. I just don't need to cut that close, is it? That's fair.

[00:34:12] All right. We won't, like, duck in to eat. We'll go from tip to tip and across. Gotcha. Okay. Um, yeah. Roll a perception. Finntangent automatically fails. 21. Because it's too busy. I'm blind. You're driving! Am I? I don't know. Like, what of you guys are driving? 21.

[00:34:42] I'm deep in my thoughts of trying to... design this cloaking field. While he's deep in his thoughts of trying to, like, find... To see if there's already something like this. I'll say, like, he... Finntangent's driving, so he's keeping you guys on... On course. I'm on course. And you're just, like, now... Like, I've been thinking about, like, how could I make that? Mm-hmm. Uh, so... Kirk, you got what, sir? I'm on watch. 21. 21? Okay. Um, so you... You see a few shadows, like, even from, like, this distance, like, a couple... Like, a kilometer or so away from the moorlands.

[00:35:13] Uh, or from the... From the dead... The dead great mists. You see, uh... Shadows in the dark... In the mist and in the fog. Kind of swimming next to you. Like... Or swimming... No, not... Like, it... Swimming alongside your ship. Like, even if you're a kilometer away from it, you see this giant form. They're running parallel to us. Yeah, and it's, like, swimming through the air in the mist. But you don't... You just see this dark form. Kind of, like, in the mist.

[00:35:43] Um... And, uh... Then you start hearing, like, splashing sounds from down below. How far are you guys away from the water? What's our maximum elevation? Uh, honestly, I think we can probably go, like... Pretty high up. 5,000 feet? Okay, 5... No. 5,000 feet's a little extreme. Like... Maybe, like, 300 feet? Yeah, 300 feet's probably more close. Yeah. All right, so 300 feet. You look... So you look down and you hear, like, some...

[00:36:12] Even, like, from this distance, you're hearing something splashing and stuff. That means it's in range. Yes. Because you can hear it, you know. But you look down and there's just this giant shadow. So, there's a shadow flying past... Flying by, like, some kind of, like... Amorphous long shadow in the mist. A kilometer off in the great mist. Seemingly, like, following your trajectory. At least, like, through the mist. It's keeping pace with you. Parallel, I guess. Yeah, parallel to you guys.

[00:36:41] And you look down, like, after you hear that splashing sound, you look over. And there's just this giant amphibian thing. Gotta be at least 20, 30 feet... Maybe about 50 feet across. Like, 50 feet long. Just beneath the surface of the ocean. Can I make a nature check to see if it's natural or artificial? Sure. 12? Okay.

[00:37:11] Does it look like anything I'm familiar with? I just gotta double check something. It's manual. Which is always a good thing. Always a good thing Jim should say. Good for you, bad for us. I mean, you've certainly heard stories about this thing, I believe. Yeah. Yeah, this thing is... You've heard of type... Of Krakens? Oh, they do call it Kraken Bay.

[00:37:41] They call it Kraken Bay for a reason. It's definitely not as big as you've... As you've heard they can get. But there appears to be a younger Kraken following you guys. So what's the range on a Kraken tentacle? That's a good question. And can we charm this and bring it back to town? Probably about 30 feet.

[00:38:10] Like from its body? 30 feet? Yeah. So we're like 10 times his max range? Yeah. Okay. But yeah, at least that's what it looks like to you. Like that's... It kind of fits the same kind of like shape of it. So. Alright boys, we got a Kraken underneath us. I'm sorry? There's a Kraken following us directly below. Just a little one. You also don't know what the thing is in the mist. I haven't even mentioned that yet. Okay.

[00:38:40] Are we being attacked? No. Okay. Not yet. It seems to be just following us. Okay. Do we want to do something about that now? Or later? Well, I mean, has it done anything to hurt us? Not yet. Not everything is going to hurt us. This has not been my experience in life. We're 300 feet in the air. Are we planning on landing in the water? We're not planning on it. What?

[00:39:11] But something might... We are letting Fintan fly. There is that. Major image is probably the best option for... For indivisibility? Indivisibility. You couldn't really make the ship invisible invisible? But you could make the ship look like the sky. So basically... Or you could make it look like a dragon. Or you could make it look like a rock. Or a cloud. Or a cloud.

[00:39:40] But I can't make it invisible invisible. Not... No. Because invisibility applies to a single creature. A living creature. I can't make a sphere of invisibility. No, it's not a spell in 3rd edition... Or 5th edition, apparently. That used to be a spell. But are not the spells in the book basically guidelines? And then you can fuck with them as you want? A.K.A. Tensors floating disc. You could fly on it now? That was actually a 3rd edition adventure. Actually, no, that wasn't. That was actually in the 5th edition.

[00:40:11] Was it? Yeah. Because you said that you had to convert stuff from 3rd edition. I converted stuff for the next adventure. That adventure with the skateboard tensor floating disc thing. That was in the 5th edition version of Avatar. What do you think, DM? Do you think we can use a dragon shard to make a cloaking device? Yeah, I'd be... Probably cost a little bit. It seems like to be... From what I've gathered, the big thing is just cost to do.

[00:40:39] So I'd say bumping up the cost to modify a spell would work. We can also see if we can find that sphere of invisibility. Like a 5th edition of Virgility sphere? I'm looking it up right now. Because I'm sure somebody's homebrewing for these. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Are you guys doing anything about the Kraken following you guys? Well, these guys seem to vote no. Okay. Like, I could just start shooting it.

[00:41:09] From here. You could. Yeah, but if it cries out to its mommy... What if this is just a little one? It does appear to be a little one. If he's just a dog chasing a land cart, then he's not necessarily, like, a threat, you know? All right. Well, you should keep an eye on him. Yeah. And just continue on our way, I suppose. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you go on for another two days, basically. Like, one night.

[00:41:37] And then by the last day... On the last day, you're... At the start of the last day, you're basically, like, hitting the coastline of Dargoon. And you see it basically... Its form fades underneath the disk. So it goes deeper. Mm-hmm. And you recite it. So it chases for two days, solid? Okay. So did that... Oh, and... That's a very determined bracket. For you there, that other thing that was in the mist,

[00:42:07] it multiplied a couple of times. What do you mean multiplied? There were more of them. There were more shadows you saw. And then they would fade back into the mist, or kind of just, like... It seemed like there was a couple of things, just, like, periodically, like, maybe scanning the edges of the dread mist. Okay. So I guess I'll let them know that, too. So you'll let them know... Yeah, I didn't want to worry you guys at the time, but... You're also being something... Followed by something in the mists. Oh!

[00:42:37] And apparently it turned into a few somethings at one or two points. How many somethings is it right now? Well, it actually missed. By this point, like, if you're, like... At this point, it's, like, at the coastline. Mm-hmm. At this point, uh, you've lost sight of that as well. We'll lose them. I know some maneuvers. I'll drift lazily to the left. Try spinning. That's a good trick. No! No! Dumped me directly on the Kraken. God damn it.

[00:43:06] But no. Yeah, you guys, uh, yeah, they just kind of, uh, you guys had some, um, some tagalongs or some chaperones across Kraken Bay. I hate it. Chaperones. Yeah. But yeah, you guys eventually hit jungle coastline and follow the, uh, what's that river that feeds into the Kraken Bay? That one there? Yeah. Does it have a name? The Gaal River. Ah, the Gaal River. Yeah, you can follow the Gaal River, um, toward the, uh, toward where the, um,

[00:43:37] uh, Wreck Lords. Um, I need you, uh, Fintan, since you've been driving this book the whole time, to roll a, uh, strength check. Because the winds are getting turbulent. I'll give you some turbulent winds. Nope, I won't. I don't want to gamble and lose. Uh, it's a hailstorm. Fifteen? Okay. Um, yeah, you're, you're having to, like, really put some, some, uh, weight on the, uh,

[00:44:06] the steering mechanisms for the sky carriage. Because the winds are picking up, and, like, there is a, a storm kind of brewing, uh, over the jungle. Uh, as you guys go deeper into Dargoon. Um, and, uh, yeah, you guys, uh, eventually, within about a few hours of that, you see, you reach the area where the, um, uh, where, where Reklor was supposed to be. I'm sorry?

[00:44:36] Um, well, as you guys approach, um, from a distance... I did tell you there was a big fuck-off sinkhole. Yeah, fair. You see a massive, um, hole in the, in the earth. Uh, and actually, you can even see from the, the edges closest to the river side, um, rivlets of, of, of, of waters, uh, leaking through, like, cracks and stuff like, over, like, kind of creating small, thin waterfalls, uh, as water from the, from the Gull River fall into that pit. How deep of a pit is it?

[00:45:05] Uh, it's, you're still approaching it. Yeah. Um, but it's about two, two kilometers across. Is there anything left of the town? There are bits of, there's a section of the town deeper, like, into the jungle. Um, but a lot of, there's a lot of debris and buildings that are, like, teetering over an edge into this giant sinkhole. Okay, so it wasn't, like, a targeted thing, like, the entire town dropped. It's just a sinkhole happened in the town. Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it,

[00:45:34] a sinkhole opened up underneath the, a good chunk of the town and just consumed it. Yes, but it's not a Mournland situation where it targeted the exact perimeter of the town. No, no, it's not, you're right, yeah. It's just, like, basically, it looks like a simple, like, a sinkhole, yeah. Hmm. It looks like a naturally occurring, if very large, insanely big, uh, sinkhole. Okay. Um, and you see very little in the sign of, uh, of life down there. You do see, um, in the area... Well, the goblins are all little. I mean... You do see, um, where the, uh...

[00:46:04] The Tarrasquist town was built on woke up and walked away. Um, you see, uh, the, where the, uh, where the buildings that are, have survived. Um, there are some carts, like, there's, like, a small caravan, or even, like, a convoy of carriages and carts and, uh, wagons. Mm-hmm. Um, or covered wagons, uh, around. Uh, but you don't seem to see any movement from, uh, from anybody. Um, so. Uh, and I need everybody to roll your perception test. One more time. You also...

[00:46:33] You're really long, says, to the, to, uh, Fintan. 20. Not 20. Okay, cool. He activated the scanners. No. Oof! Uh... Sorry, you said it was... Perception. Perception. Which I am trained in. So... 11! Okay, so, uh, Copper,

[00:47:03] you hear it before you, before the rest of you see it. Mm-hmm. Um, a whistling sound. A th... It's like if a whistle made love to a, to a thunder clap. That's what you hear coming up from both, coming from, from on high. And you all, and you look up, and you see the, the storm clouds first open, creating a giant clearing as a streaming fireball

[00:47:32] comes careening down in the trajectory of the, um, of the, the sinkhole. Okay. Um, very close to the edge of the sinkhole where the new, where the, where the, uh, where the, the remaining buildings are. How big is this fireball? Um, it's like 200, uh, the, the fireball itself looks about, to be about 200 feet across. And it's just like trailing, like, like smoke, uh, from the, uh, from the,

[00:48:02] and cloud, like, is following it. And it just comes down, um, you barely see it. Um, you need to roll a, you, just go. You being Fintan. Yeah, Fintan, go, uh, roll a, um, uh, roll something to like use the, uh, the sky character to get away. Or, to change course. So strength, I guess, if you don't have a skill for it. I wonder, I don't know if this is a strength, well, I mean, okay, athletics?

[00:48:32] Athletics, yeah. Because I don't think you have pilot. That's not really a thing. Yeah. should be. Sixteen. Okay, you guys barely, uh, you get, uh, he's fine because he's in the cab of the, the sky character. You guys need to roll a, uh, a forward to, or a constitution or, um, a, uh, a dexterity roll to, uh, hold on to something as he makes some, very tight maneuvers.

[00:49:02] Hold on to your constitution or dex, you said? Yeah. So that's wrong. Seventeen. Seventeen? Okay. Uh, sixteen. Okay, so you guys grab onto the railings as the, as the, uh, the sky cap quickly, like, banks. Can't I grab onto Rob? Yeah. Um, and yeah, this just, just giant roiling

[00:49:31] fireball just comes down and impacts, um, not the, not the remaining buildings, but, like, dangerously close to that, um, to, like, the side of the sinkhole where the, uh, the convoy of wagons and stuff are, and a couple of them get knocked over, and there's a large impact crater on the side of this sinkhole where, um, where the, uh, uh, uh, where a bunch of buildings were. So. And lo,

[00:50:00] the gods said, fuck this town in particular. Yeah. Um, and you look, uh, does anybody look up, because there's that, there's now a giant gaping wound in the storm clouds above. Yeah, let's look through what's going back. Uh, well, you look up, and, oh, there's that, that nice purple moon directly up her head. Hmm. That's not nice. It's a lot, it's a lot closer, or it's a lot bigger than it was in the, uh, than you've seen it. That's no moon. I thought it was supposed to be

[00:50:30] in geostationary orbit. That should be, like, a fixed elevation. That's what you thought. But it's a lot close, it's, it's not moving closer, but it's, isn't it always that big? It's just growing. But, uh, yeah. So, um, what do you guys want to, uh, where do you guys want to land? What do you guys want to do? Well, that fireball just made it clearing for us. Yeah, that's true. You want to land where he was just targeting?

[00:51:00] It's like lightning, man. It doesn't hit the same place twice. Does that look like lightning to you? As I point up to the giant weird purple moon that's growing and shooting fireballs. Where else do you want to land? It could hit anywhere. away from this town that seems to be targeted by those, uh, like remnant buildings and, like, the other side of the wagon caravans that wasn't tossed over from the crater, from the impact crater. By the way, is it just three of us on the ship? Yep. Okay.

[00:51:29] So there's no one that could just man the ship while we're gone? Nope. Okay. Why didn't we bring our cabbie with us? I don't know. We probably should have. Why didn't you bring, uh, uh, Bill? Seems like I did the time. It was the morning. I'm always groggy in the morning, yeah. Especially after you just woke up. Yeah, just quote unquote woke up. Yep. So I guess we're landing. Okay. Wow. Yeah.

[00:51:59] Okay. Or, it's alright guys, I brought this. You guys- I pull out a great club, and I just kind of tie it to the wheel. No. I remember that one. It's the club. I mean, we're dealing with goblins. Um, now what we could do is I can fly the skyship while you two go down, and I'll provide cover.

[00:52:32] What are we looking for? Survivors. Yeah. So I'm interested. He didn't explain, like, I assumed you would have explained, like, the details. Yeah. I gave them the information that I got. Okay. Okay. I'm looking for survivors. We're going to figure out what happened here, and, uh, report back to the Goblin King. Maybe what the hell that, that fireball was. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. So was it a fireball, or was it, like, an asteroid? Well,

[00:53:01] it looked like a fireball when it was coming down, but it did leave a large, nice big crater. Does that damage look big? Um, the crater, the crater looks bigger than, so, actually, roll an arcane, you guys can roll a, um, knowledge arcana, um, to, uh, to see, like, oh, is that, is that the crater of explosion, of just fire, or is that something more? I've, I've used meteor shower before. Is that?

[00:53:34] Seven. Seven? Yeah. I'm not trained to, that's right, you're not, yeah. Fourteen. Okay. Fourteen. Okay. Yeah, you guys, both, uh, Fin Tan and, uh, and Copper, you're like, well, that doesn't look like the impact of just a simple fireball. It's not just combustion, there's definitely some more kick to it, so, like, some more, something solid was in that. Okay. Okay. Also, the, uh,

[00:54:03] the town itself, it sunk, and it's like, filled with water, right? Some of it is filled with water, but you're not, actually, as you're getting closer, now that you're closer, you don't really see it, bottom? Did we know ahead of time that it was sunk in water, or that it just, it sunk? All I was told was sinkhole. Yeah, all he was told was there was a massive sinkhole that took out most of this town. If I had checked the maps, I probably would have seen that it was adjacent to a river. Mm-hmm. I'm just saying, if we knew ahead of time, I would have cast a

[00:54:33] virtual of water breathing on you two. We still have time. You don't need to do that to me. No? You should really just bring your stuff over there. Bring your stuff over there. Because, uh, you don't like me having to get up? Well, it's just like, it seems like, you're, like, it's effort, like, like, a lot more effort. How about this? I could sit there, and then this chair gets moved out of the way, and you just have your stuff right here. So you just go out. I don't think that'll move very well from where it is. I'm not saying move the chair,

[00:55:02] I'm just saying Aaron can get up easily, and directly in front of him is his stuff. Sure. Yeah, I'm going to want you to do, um, an intelligence, um, you can. Ugh, that was a bad roll. Uh, intelligence 14. Okay, I think, I think I remember it was you that I, um, so a couple, you, you remember hearing some time ago you guys were offered a job, um, to,

[00:55:32] I'd wait until I stopped making noise of dice right next to the mic, by the way. I'll assist you and keep these together. Thank you.

[00:55:51] You have a lot of things. I do. Well, I usually take the end spot. Do you use a chair here now? You're possibly like going back and forth between that. I don't care. Sure. I really didn't mind. Okay.

[00:56:22] Well, then come back over here. Bring all your stuff back over. We can actually tell the difference between yours and mine because yours is shiny. Ah. Like it's actually got like a hollow film on them. Yeah. On it. Okay. Okay. So, uh, yeah, you actually remember a couple, some while ago, probably like, one of your first kind of journeys with, uh, with Captain Twila on ship and such. Um,

[00:56:52] that you were, you guys were offered a job to go to rec lore and clear out some tunnels that they had found underneath the bank. Whoops. By a, by a, by a, by a city goblin and a dwarf who were in charge of like the bank and part of the town's like administration. Apparently we really should have gotten to that. You're saying this is our fault? Because we would be drowned and crushed underneath all that. Yeah, that's probably it.

[00:57:22] That's a pretty good rationalization, I suppose. I'm pretty good at those. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, so you guys are setting down. Um, are you guys setting down in like a, like a, where are, where you guys are setting down? There's like, there's a, there's a, I don't want to actually set down. Okay. You guys can repel, right? Yeah. There's ropes. You guys have done it before. You guys probably have, I'd say at this point you guys have probably put down either a rope ladder or a, yeah, it's the other fault. So we'll throw these guys over the side and I'll continue to circle on the,

[00:57:52] on the air shell. Circles around and leaves. Fair in mind, this, uh, this cab does not have cannons. No, no. I'm the, yes. It does have, it would not be able to, it would not be able to keep, like have a full blown cannon on it. It's not bad. It can shoot once and then spin after that. Then you have to recover. You might be able to customize to have a frontal cannon. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Sorry, what was that, what were you saying, Merrick? No,

[00:58:22] no, we don't need a cannon on the shell. I'm the cannon. That's good, yeah. Okay, so are you guys, so is Fintana Copper, uh, dropping down? Yes. Where, where do you want to drop them? There is a, more, uh, there is a clearing near the crater, near the new crater that's now smoldering. There are the wagon, the little convoy of wagons that were parked and a couple of them have fallen over now but there's, there's that area. Clearly that that's, it seems like either like a wagon train that was planning on evacuating

[00:58:51] or where people were, um, like doing like, uh, uh, what's the word for like when you're helping a, a town that's just survived a disaster? Rolica? Rolica? It's like, that wagon, that wagon area, you can see like some area, some like, set up where they were doing like, uh, a, like one of those, like a, I forgot the word. Relief effort. Wow. You just said it. I know, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Relief efforts going on. Um, or there's the,

[00:59:21] um, the remaining buildings, like there's like maybe a block and a half left of this town. Okay. That hasn't fallen into the sink. So where do you want to drop down from? Or drop down to? Uh, probably, I'm going to suggest the relief effort area because like, at least that stuff I know can support the weight of the stuff that's there. Yeah. Or if you drop it somewhere where there's nothing there, you could theoretically stand there and fall in with collapse for all we know. You like drop down, you like get down

[00:59:51] and go there, Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you, uh, drop down to the, uh, the wagons and where the relief effort area is. Um, unless there might be survivors, probably not. Well, you get down there and you hear some animal sounds from the jungle and such and the occasional like shifting of the earth from the sinkhole where things just like random debris, like large debris just falling finally. Um, but you're looking around and you're not,

[01:00:21] you're not hearing anything and you're not seeing any sign of people or goblins or us, like any of the, the goblinoid people that were here. Yeah. Um, you see all their stuff. Like, it looks like they were in the middle of something when something happened and they just left. But they would have, they should have taken their stuff. Like they should have taken the wagons if it was something that was happening with the sinkhole. But they just, there, there's definitely signs that there was activity here

[01:00:49] maybe a couple of days ago and there's nothing now. Any signs of violence? Blood? Gore? Um, roll, you guys can roll a perception or investigation. I guess I'll roll a disadvantage because I'm from the sky. Yeah. Our eye in the sky. Still get 19. Jesus. Damn. And so, our eye in the sky. Heckless. I got nine. Nine. You're right there.

[01:01:19] I'm horrified or something, I don't know. Scanners, so, Kirklus, you're up, you're eyeing the sky. Um, you see, um, there's, you see some kind of, you're looking around and what catches your eye is there's some, you think you see some movement near the tree line around the, around the, like on the far, on the side of the,

[01:01:49] near the caravan that goes, that's where the, the toppled over and such. You think you see some like movement and some like, some purplish brown thing move through the trees? On the tree line of, near that crater? Oh fuck, is there an ATM? Hmm? No. No. Uh, the, um, you also see that there, you, you, you catch it like a moment, it's like, something moving the crater? Like, but it's hard, like you can't, from this distance you're like,

[01:02:19] you just seem like, you, it's almost like you're thinking, you're not sure if your eyes are just playing tricks on you, but it almost seems like the, the crater shifted or something. Okay. So he can hear my thoughts, right? Yeah, I think, I think, I mean, if I'm engaging in telepathy with somebody, then yes. Gotcha. Oh, so you guys have the, uh, we have the, oh yeah, we have the earrings. Okay. The earring, Bluetooth, the sentiments. So yeah, in 25 words or less, what's it?

[01:02:48] Eagle one to plebs, eagle one to plebs. I do not agree on that code name. Over. Got movement on the tree line by the wagons. Investigate over. Fossil movement in the crater. Over. I'm going to steer the ship around. This is way more than 25. I'm going to steer the thing in the steps. Yeah. I mean, that wasn't that he said. I'm going to steer the ship around to get a better look in the crater. Okay. Yeah. But that's what you're doing. Okay. Yeah.

[01:03:17] So you delineated that there. Yeah. Okay. All right. So you see the ship, the carriage shirt, like I'm in the sky. Are you about like, how high and above are you? You're staying above the 300 feet? Yeah. I'm maintaining maximum altitude. Okay. Because I can tilt you that far. Yeah. So that's what you hear from your message, or from the message, the sending. Okay. You also see, there is some, you look in some of the wagons, and you see a couple of

[01:03:47] bloodstain splatters. Oh. You also look around the ground and you see smallish sized footprints and some medium sized footprints of like what you assume to be like goblin and hobgoblin, maybe a bugbear. And then there's these other footprints that are a lot more gnarled looking, and there's a couple that are like two-toed roaming around. If only there was somebody here that recognized tracks.

[01:04:17] Well, yeah. Well, and, are you going to send him like something about that? Like, hey, you know what this is? So... You can describe them to him. Yeah. How many species do you know of from this type of area that have two-toed tracks? This would be disadvantage, but you can do a nature kit. Oh, I've been trained in nature. Oh, I've been trained in nature. I've been trained in nature. A what? Natural one. Yeah, you're like... I don't know.

[01:04:46] I'm not into jungles, man. I don't do jungles. Hmm. But as... So... I think it's probably a two-toed sloth in the native to this area. As that's going on. Actually, so you... You got... Pretty bad, right? For what? For your search? Yeah. Yeah, so you're looking around and you actually see... There's a couple... It looks like they set up some dividing curtains. They basically strung up

[01:05:16] some ropes and put... Clipped some towel... Some blankets or some sheets to kind of form rudimentary areas for some kind of... Maybe for keeping people... Patients that are recovering kind of keep them separated and such. Okay. And you're looking through some... There's a couple that are really dirty and even kind of bloodstained. As you're looking at one, you need to roll me a dexterity save. Okay. That's a blanket medic.

[01:05:52] Total of 19. Okay. The curtains that you're looking at and such, you look at them for a moment and then it leaps off of the rope and tries to wrap around your face. The current. The sheet. The sheet does. The linen sheet. Just kind of like gross teeth and it's like... Holy sheet. And you narrowly miss getting hit by it.

[01:06:22] But then it just starts kind of like... And it's like corners suddenly become like... Mobile. It's like using them almost like spider legs but there's like invisible... It's as if it's on invisible spider legs as it's just like using the corners as legs or appendages and it's just like roaming around and like trying to get to you. Okay. You're being attacked by a mimic sheet. Thorn whip. Okay. Get over there. I don't care. Okay. Wait, you want it to come over to you? I mean, what are my options here?

[01:06:52] No, that's fair. Yeah. It's either get them over here so I can hit them or keep them over there and keep throwing shit at them. Those are my two options. Have them over there and throw shit at them because I'm above you so I think. Yeah, fair. That's the whole point. So fine, I'll do Ray of Frost then instead. Okay. I'm assuming, actually, do you roll for Ray of Frost? I didn't write down that I did. It is an attack roll. Yeah. Yeah, it seems like... It's... Think of like, you know the new Prey game

[01:07:22] where like you're fighting those like... Actually, they're called Mimics in that too. Probably. But instead of like the dark shadowy like amorphous blob like a spider blob, it's that but made from like linen cloth. Mm-hmm. Great. Okay. So wait, if it's just cloth actually, I shouldn't be trying to freeze it, I should be trying to burn it probably. Well, that's what it looks like. Yeah, fair. Either way, I'll prod it. It's actually asbestos. I'll prod it

[01:07:52] with that first. Yeah, please don't burn that. 16 total? 16? Okay. That was to hit it? Yes. Yeah, that'll hit it. Cool. And I'll also inform everyone there's a Mimic Sheet down here. Eyes on the Mimic Sheet. You see a white thing like spidery blob thing

[01:08:21] like attacking your friend. All right. That's eight cold damage to it and it is ten feet slower for its turn. Okay, so it's like like yeah. All right, I'm gonna shoot it. Okay. I should have sneak attack, right? He has no idea. Yeah, it's not, it doesn't see you at all, so yeah. Is this all in this like surprise round right now? Uh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's sort of like holy shit! Yeah. Holy shit! Crit.

[01:08:51] Okay. Very nice. So, how do I quit again? With max dice? Max dice, dice for results, yeah. Double, double the dice, right? No, I thought it was, I thought it was double, double the rolled dice. double the dice result. You can do either way. Okay. You just have to say beforehand what you're going to do. Three, four, ten, fourteen, so twenty-eight, thirty-two. Okay, so that thing, like you freeze it and then

[01:09:21] it just like, it's like trying its best in slow-mo to try and get to you and then just like like just gets nailed to the ground and dies. Nice. Nice. Explaners. Nicely done. I'll give a huge thumbs up. You got them. You just hear the radio. Tango down. Yeah. Yeah, that's, you don't, none of the other, and then you look over like kind of look to the other

[01:09:51] sheets. Rayfrost, Rayfrost, Rayfrost, all of them. Attack everything with cantrips to see if anything will attack me back. But no, um, at this point I'm going to take out my, um, wand of detect magic and just put that on because I feel like that would detect mimics and shit, wouldn't it? Or no? Mimics are magical. They're not? They're aberrations. Really? Yeah. Hmm.

[01:10:22] If you gave off magic it'd be way easier to detect then they wouldn't actually be as successful. That's true. So they've actually evolved. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Still I am curious if there's any magical mumbo jumbo going on, so. Oh, okay. Um, so you just, you put out magic? What? Yeah. Just roll and save magic? Um, roll, roll a will, or roll a wisdom save. Awesome. I regret my choices. I'm still on Overwatch. It's okay. Don't worry, I'll help you roll

[01:10:51] perception too. You said wisdom save? Yeah. Rolled a nine, but that's 13 total. You're like, oh, oh god, why did I do that? It hurts. Like, your, your, your metal, your, your like, magical metal brain is just metal. Yeah. Like, your oak is flooding with, um, madness. Like, like magic

[01:11:21] that should not be. Um, and you're like, looking around, it's coming from the sinkhole. So it's, it's bad. It's bad time. it's really bad. Is it worse than doing this in the Mordlands? It's, on that level, but not the same type of bad. Um, you can roll an arcana to kind of get a sense of what kind of magic this is, or where this, where this magic is stemming from. Sure.

[01:11:54] 18. Um, 18. Mm-hmm. This is, you, your protocols kick in. Um, code X. Like, code X. Uh, pops up in your, in your, like, vision. Yeah. Um, code X is for, uh, X is for threats from the plane of Zoriat. The plane of Mind Flayers and the Delkir. Okay. Um,

[01:12:24] plugs to base, we're going home. Uh, so you, what did you roll on your perception test? 13? 13? Okay. Um, you're, you're looking, you're, you're looking a little, like, more tightly on, like, around your friend there, around the Warforge, uh, to see if any of those other cloths, uh, were going to, like, jump out at them. Um, and then you start, then you realize, like, at the peripheral, you see, like, oh, there's something coming up from underneath, from, from the, uh, from the, uh, the sinkhole. Um,

[01:12:53] they look like they might have once been goblins or hobgoblins, but their flesh has been warped and stretched and bulged into ungodly, uh, forms. Um, there's some kind of mutated, horrible flesh versions, like, flesh mockeries of goblins, um, coming up from the, uh, from the sinkhole. Are they climbing? They're climbing out of the sinkhole. Okay, they're not flying.

[01:13:24] No, they're not flying. Perfect. There's, there's at least two or, two or three, there's two or three, like, small-sized ones, and then there's a few, like, medium-sized ones that are, they, they look, like, ravenously, uh, and they're, and they're running towards, uh, where, where, where your war fortress. All right, get on the radio. This is about, this is about five. Mission accomplished, mission accomplished, withdraw immediately, coming in for a pickup run. Okay, yeah, please. There's potential

[01:13:53] mind flayers down here. What? Five. Well, there's something that has the same vibes, has the same realm as the mind flayers. That's when you guys on the ground hear the, hear the haunting screeches like, rrrr, as these creatures these, these like, not goblins and not hog goblin things start kind of bursting through like the, the white sheets and like, and like the, I mean, like bashing through some of the tents and stuff that were set up near, like as the, in part of the relief area,

[01:14:23] come running at you guys. Um, you, if any of you guys have, actually, Fintan might be able to roll for this because of your religion. Yeah! Um, and I would say that you, copper, you could probably roll a, probably, not arcana check if you want. Woohoo! Uh, you said religion? Yeah. 25. Okay. 25.

[01:14:53] I know all the religiosity. Well, you know that, um, the code of the silver flamet is to wipe out evil. Oh no, we're not leaving, are we? One of the major evils, um, that, one of the number one evils of the tent is, uh, uh, evils from alien forces like that of Zoriat and the, and the Delkir. And their servitors, the Dolgrim and the Dolguts, which, those things are fitting the bill for right now. Okay. Okay.

[01:15:24] But you roll. I mean, if it was, it was the Delkir, I would not stick around to fight those because we're not winning. They would kill us all. But yeah, these are, these appear to be Dolguts and Dolkrims. So, flesh mutate, flesh warped, uh, goblins and hog goblins. Okay. Also 13. 13? Uh, yeah, you, you've studied aberrations. You know that this is, uh, the Dolgrim and Dolguts, which are like an ancient, um,

[01:15:53] basically ancient victims of the Delkir. I'm casting. Ancient victims? Like, from ancient times. like, this is what the Delkir did to goblins and hogs. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Gotcha, gotcha. They haven't been seen a lot in recent memory. Okay. So, I have no idea what that is, but I know it's not good, so I'm gonna shoot it. Yeah. Probably gonna do it. So yeah, there's five of them, and we'll roll initiatives. Sounds good.

[01:16:24] I'm gonna, I'm gonna cast my prep spell for, spells first. They're coming up really fast. Okay, well I cast one of them already anyway. Because I already marked it down. Fun. I do get advantage of Nick Rolls. Excellent. 18. 22. 20.

[01:16:58] Fintan was 20, and Kirk was 22? Yeah. Yeah. It is a good chair. And I'll roll for the Togons. This chair's the same brand as the couch. So they look,

[01:17:28] it looks like it's from the same set. Yeah, I think they're from the same place. Yeah. Okay. Okay, so top of the round, Kirk. All right, so where am I on the skycap? What's my, like, horizontal position to? Yeah, so you can put the skycap kind of in, like, a stationary position, and, like, basically get at. Where, where, you were, I think you were, like, veering toward the tree line when you saw the stuff going on? No, I think it was over the crater. Oh,

[01:17:57] you were going over the crater. Okay, yeah. So I want to pivot towards the, uh, the guys on the ground and get low. Okay. Drop down to 50 feet to see if I can pick them up. Getting low. These guys? Yeah. Okay. So I'm flying in, dropping ladder, getting low. Okay, so you drop the ladder. Um, I'll give you, like, let you roll a, probably either a dexterity, like, I'd say, uh, an athletics or dexterity to maneuver the vehicle down and, like, dip down, but it'd probably be a disadvantage

[01:18:27] because you guys, you're not, you're not proficient in driving like an airship or a, uh, a sky ship, a sky cam. So just straight dexterity? Yeah. 11. 11? Okay, so you're having to, like, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, yeah,

[01:18:57] so. Um, next up is Finn. Hmm. Okay. How far away are these things from me? Like, 30, 40 feet and closing. How many are there? There's two medium-sized ones and, uh, two, uh, and three small ones. Okay. They have, they have, they have double jaw, they have double mouths,

[01:19:26] multiple eyes, they look like, uh, a couple of the, um, the smaller ones kind of look like Fae, but like, modeled and mutated and probably scar burned and whatnot. Okay. Burn scar? Yeah. So, uh, I'm going to, uh, move towards them. Mm-hmm. Uh, and then, once I'm within range, I'm going to, um, teleport behind one of them. Okay. The furthest one. Yeah.

[01:19:55] So I'm behind the whole group. Yeah. So I'm going to flank them. Mm-hmm. Okay. And, uh, I'm going to, um, attack it. Right in the back. Because it's evil. It doesn't deserve. That's the one. I was going to say, are you going to take it? There we go. Oh, come on, Aaron. All right. What are you, me? And yeah, I'm conjuring my sword and attacking. Okay. So you're attacking the first, like the small ones, small ones or the medium ones? One of the medium ones.

[01:20:25] Okay. You see like tentacles coming off these things, like shoulder blades. The small ones are probably quicker anyway, so they would have been running ahead, so you would be behind the big ones anyway. I assume so. Okay. So that is a 26 to hit. A 26. Ah, that will definitely hit. Okay. Thank God. It's like, he sounds hesitant on that. Does that not do it? Okay. So, it's,

[01:20:55] um, this one. And, uh, these are not undead, correct? Uh, no, they are aberrations. Okay. They are things from the Chaos Realm. Things mutated by the Chaos Realm. So that's, um, eight plus six, so, uh, fourteen. Fourteen damage? Yeah, fourteen, uh, fourteen and damage. Okay. With my Radiant Blade.

[01:21:25] Alright. But I get another shot. You do? Okay, well, fifteen plus ten is twenty-five. I assume that hits as well. Okay. Okay, so, five plus six is, uh, eleven. And I'm gonna throw away, uh, a full power smite on this. Because, you know,

[01:21:55] yeah. Eleven. Okay, four and five is nine. Thirteen, nineteen, and seven is twenty-six. Twenty-six and eleven is thirty, thirty-seven? Thirty-seven.

[01:22:24] Thirty-seven total damage on that second attack. On the second attack? Yes. Alright. Um, yeah, you killed him. Well, that was easy. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you just, uh, barely an inconvenience. Yeah, he just bursts into warblum ichor, black and yellow ichor, and, uh, and flesh pits. Okay. There's no way it's this easy. That's gotta be a trick. He's gonna get back up. Uh,

[01:22:54] so next up is, so cover, um, what's your deck's, uh, your deck score? Uh, okay. Um, fourteen? Okay, so this one's going first. Great. Uh, ahead of you. Um, however, it's not going after you, it's going after the, this is the second build on it. That's going after, uh, Fin 10. Um, and it is going to strike with tentacles! Front shoulder blades! A force intrusion? Um,

[01:23:25] to get the buttholes. Yeah. This is. On to the next one! Might be good. Uh, that is gonna be, uh, twenty, uh, twenty, yeah. That is not enough. Okay. Uh, yeah, like, the first one, kind of like, you, like, like, misses entirely. The other one, like, got dangerously close. Caught on my shield. You actually see, like, a purplish, like, yellow pulsating glowy thing at the end of it, like a sucker.

[01:23:55] And it was like, like, it's closing opening. It was chomping? Yeah, chomping at you, like, like a lamprey, like, it was like, contracting and retracting. It looks like a sphincter mouth. Kinda, yeah. It's the little mouth in the alien. Yeah, it misses, but it gets, uh, two more shots. Um, so, yeah, this one's going, after the tentacles kind of don't make it, uh, this thing just kind of like,

[01:24:24] comes at you with claws. Okay. Um, Which one is the tentacles? The bigger ones? Uh, the bigger ones, yeah. Okay. So burn those down. Because they have three turrets. No, four turrets. Oh, goddammit. And the first one, the first attack missed, and the second one missed. So you're basically just like, like, this thing just comes in, like, it's like, um, the way they're moving, it's disjointed and almost like stop motion-y. Like, it's as if, like, they're having trouble,

[01:24:54] like, they're, they're, they're, they're, forcing their bones to, like, and their, their muscles to work. Um, and this thing has like, these things have like no eyes in their, in their sockets. They're just pitch black holes. Do they have ears? Uh, they do have pointy goblin ears. Um, excellent. And a creepy, worm-like tongue that's just out of their gaping maw. Yeah. You want to see a picture of them? That's what you're fighting. Okay.

[01:25:24] Okay. Yeah. All right. You can see what you're fighting too. Yeah. Lovely. Like, both of those in fact. Both pages. Yeah. The other ones are, yeah, you're fighting the other one, which has like multiple mouths and multiple limbs, um, but they're smaller and faster. Mm-hmm. so that's that guy's turn. Uh, now it's, uh, copper's turn. Cool. I shoot one of the smallest ones. Okay. I want to get rid of, well, with the big one, throw a lot of tentacles around though. Okay. Range. What's the range on them? Uh,

[01:25:54] they're about four, uh, 30 or 40 feet away from you in closing. Okay. So that's fine. That's not a problem. and there's three little guys? Uh, there's three little ones. Okay. City goblin size. Do you know? The size of a halfling or a dwarf. Okay. Or like a small dwarf. Yeah, either way, I'm going to try to get rid of some of the smaller ones. Yeah. Um, so yeah, uh, I have a question. I'm probably not going to use this this turn, but in regards to, um, arcane weapon,

[01:26:23] what basically lets me put an element on a simple or martial weapon? Is the dragon shared revolver a martial weapon or is it an exotic weapon? I think it's a, I would count it as a martial weapon. Okay. Whatever you want to do. Yeah. I'm going to say it's a martial weapon. Okay. Cool. Okay. Which? Uh, the dragon shared revolver. Oh yeah. You said, you said we were treating it as a martial weapon. Yeah. Cause they're like somewhat common. Cause they're not on a moment here. Yeah. They're, they're like,

[01:26:51] it's a common item that's like this in certain parts of it. Well, pistols. Yeah. Are, are common weapons. Revolvers not so much, but the use of a revolver and a pistol are basically the same. Okay. Well, either way, I kind of want to put these down. As fast as possible, honestly. uh, yeah, as my bonus action, I'll use arcane weapon on my dragon shared revolver to put fire damage on them.

[01:27:21] I suppose. Okay. Cause they're fleshy, right? I mean, it does seem like a killer with fire. Yeah, usually. Yeah. Okay. And then I will shoot. Okay. And because I am shooting counts as just an attack action, right? So any, anything that says you can do it twice. Yeah. Okay, cool. So then I can choose twice. If you get two attacks in a round, as long as it doesn't specify two melee attacks. No, it just says you can attack your guys. wait, wait, wait, wait,

[01:28:01] wait, okay. Okay. Okay. That's relatively good. I only can if I'm using one of my summoned weapons. Okay. So first attack is 16 to hit. 16. Okay. 16. That will hit. Excellent. Actually, I think it's higher than that now that I think about it, because this is also infused.

[01:28:33] Yep, that was 17. Okay, so either way, I hit him. Excellent. Then, and the other one's higher than that, so I hit as well. Yeah. Oh, I guess we should figure out the first one killed though. Yeah. I doubt it's going to kill, but you never know. That's two of these, plus it's 26 damage. That one seems appropriate. Chris, do you have a charge of downstairs, or do I need to go up? Yeah. Probably not. You have to go up again, because I don't think, my mom's one's gone. Okay.

[01:29:17] It's 2d6 of normal damage, and then that's the fire damage. Okay, so it takes, doesn't matter what element, or is it just damage, damage for this guy? Okay, fine. So he takes 9 damage. Okay. I'm assuming that's not enough to kill him, so the second shot goes through. Okay. Oops. 12 damage on the second shot. Okay.

[01:29:46] That actually kills him. Excellent. As you see, like now that you're getting up close, you see that, it's not just one goblin. It's two goblins fused into one being. Oh, hence the multiple mouths. Multiple mouths and the multiple limbs. You realize like, like, because you, now that they're up close, a little closer to you, you can see like that. Or just that I'm focusing on it. Yeah, now that you're focusing on it, you can see that they are, it's like the thing, like they're two creatures fused together. Like, horribly. Yeah, like I shoot it,

[01:30:15] and then he screams, and the one mouth screams, but the second one screams a little later, like they're actually different. Oh, I hate this. I cock the hammer again, and shoot again. But that's your turn? Yes. Okay. Okay. So the other one is coming at you. And I did not forget Rob. I did not forget him, because I used my bonus action, so I can't tell him to do anything aside from defending me. Okay.

[01:30:45] So actually, here's what's going to happen. The first volley, they actually... What do you mean volley? They're shoot shit? Well, they have weapons. They're carrying weapons. that's not good. They're carrying crossbows, crossbows in the hand, they're carrying a spear in the other hand, one of them has a morning star and a shield, like they're carrying multiple implements on each one. So they're like somewhat intelligent? Oh yeah. Okay. They are unfortunate. They're rapidously intelligent.

[01:31:14] It's like the Reavers from Fire. They are berserk, but they have an intellect. I was not aware of this. They have a killer instinct. Some of the goblin ones, the dull ones. Oh no, sorry, dull grins. Some of the dull grins, dual wield hand crossbows, and they use their third arm to reload, so they can actually get multiple attacks per round. That's cool. And they don't take disadvantage for using dual weapons. They also have... Yeah,

[01:31:42] there's also a thing where they get advantages against pretty much like any kind of status effect, because they have dual consciousness. Interesting. So do I. Oh, that's true. They have the same benefits that I do. Yeah. Cool. But yeah, I wish I knew they were armed. I would have changed, I would have done things a little differently, but that's fine. So, first is the ball. So one of them uses a crossbow, and fires a shot, misses you, throws it away, and the other, and then like,

[01:32:12] grabs, like, grabs a, like, holds onto a spear that one of the other hands has, and just starts charging at you with the spear. Okay. Disadvantage. Rob. If he's engaging me in melee. Okay.

[01:32:42] Just the attack dice. All of them. All of them, yeah. The first shot, the first ball it misses, or the second attempt it misses. However, it's going to attack again. It's going to try and stab again. Mm-hmm. Do I have to roll a disadvantage to that one as well? Um, I think all of them. I don't know if it says specifically, like, that it's only once. I could double check real quick, because this is going to be important. Hence your multiple stabs and such.

[01:33:12] I don't know whose pink dice that is, but no. It says, the defender imposes disadvantage on the attack roll of one creature it can see that is within five feet of it, provided the attack roll is against a creature other than the defender. So it doesn't specify that it's only once. So basically, because Rob is here defending me, as it's trying to hit me, Rob is like... It's probably,

[01:33:42] that's probably for the, until like you tell him to do something else. No, it does that regardless. Oh, right? Yeah, just so, well, no, that's his reaction. Yeah. So if I do anything that burns his reaction, then he can't do that. Okay. So I guess if that's his reaction, then he only has one reaction, right? Yeah. Okay. Right, right, right.

[01:34:16] Tell him that with three hands, he's probably really good at giving hand jobs. And he takes a minus two penalty on that. But I have a third hand too. What attack is that? It's not. As you guys stare each other down. There's no safe. It is literally cutting words. I could use a reaction to add bardic inspiration to an attack, or to remove bardic inspiration from an attack. All right, all right.

[01:34:45] It's a function of my bardic inspiration. Okay. All right, so yeah, that one misses. Okay. Does it understand like English and comprehend what things we're saying? It might have just like hurt like, also his, it's magic. Yeah. It's magic. Yeah. Or maybe that's affecting you as like, and like, oh, this isn't that bad at all. you're able to defend it. Okay. Yeah, fair. However, the other one is attacking me, but not with spirits. It's actually got two crossbows. Thank you, Aaron.

[01:35:15] Thanks. It's got dual crossbows. So he's going to be happy. He's shooting into melee where his friend is in between me and him. Yeah, he doesn't care. Okay. Just letting you know. I do it all the time. Yeah, but you're a good shot. I do it at a damage. He's probably going to be hitting his friend. We'll see. That is going to be... That is going to be... The first volley. 17. Do I get partial cover because the other guy's in front of me? You should. Yeah, I would allow that. How does partial cover work? I don't even know.

[01:35:45] So partial cover, it actually just adds an AC. Adds to your AC. Okay. So with half cover, I will allow two is a plus two. Okay. Yeah. Sorry, what did he hit me with? You hit Lee. He tried hitting me with a 17. Oh, he wouldn't miss me anyways. So it thooks into his friend. Okay, for that much damage. I'll say this. You don't have to target your own guy there. No, I'm saying like if it...

[01:36:15] If his cover would have saved me from being hit, then it hits him. Yeah. Or if it's a one-hunter. It would have... Okay, I'm just trying to... No, yeah, so like he gets hit and the one that's attacking you screeches out, but it still is like drooling and throffing at you. Not ignoring the voltage when it's doing. And then the other hand that this creature has uses its other crossbow on you. The other one in the back? And fucking misses.

[01:36:44] The other one in the back? Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah, that misses you and goes wide. Mm-hmm. But you see it with its third action. It starts reloading those crossbows. Yeah. With the other two limbs it has. So it's staying a little bit back, and just trying to attack from a distance while his friend just tries to get at you from up close. Mm-hmm.

[01:37:12] Next up, though, top of the round, Kirk. Sweet. Okay, so I bring the ship in. Yeah. I should be about 10, 15 feet behind these two. Yep. The ladder down. Well, one of them's in front of the group of monsters, and one of them's behind them. So I'm coming in behind the group. He's behind them. He's behind them. I'm in the front. Copper? Fintan is behind them. Copper is in front. Okay. And Fintan is, like, at the side where the actual hole is. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:37:39] I'm 10 feet behind Copper. I thought you were coming in from the sink. I am. I passed all the way over. Oh, so you went past? Yeah, I wanted to run behind these guys. I got you. So they actually have somewhere to retreat to. Gotcha. If you were flying over his head, you could have called out to him and tell him to jump and grab the rope. Didn't have time. Not that good. Okay, fair. You guys can fly away, and I can still make it home okay. That's true. He's getting the teleporter. Yeah, yeah. You don't. Yeah. So I'm behind them, so I'm going to shoot over the port side

[01:38:08] and still take targets, right? Yeah. Because I should still have an action. I think so, yeah. That was a move to get the ship there, right? Right. Yeah, once you get it growing, I'll let you, like, not have to roll to do that, but yeah. All right, so I'm going to target the one in melee with him. Okay. Because I get advantage on that guy. Actually, I think we should always have to roll to pilot the ship. Okay. Because we don't know what we're doing. Roll to pilot the ship. Because I believe,

[01:38:36] and you don't want to go with this because you're Chris, and I know that. Makes me sound like an insult, but okay. No, no, no. It's just, this is my way of finding the happy medium ground. I believe there are actually rules within the Eberron setting that actually make it so none of us can pilot this ship. Okay. There's a dragon mark that you have to have to pilot the ships. Oh, okay. Well, we're not, we're going to, and you don't want to utilize that,

[01:39:04] so we should just have to make checks. If that had been the case, we would have brought a pilot. Yeah. So, but it's fine. Regardless. But I totally forgot about it until we were here. So I was like, wait a minute, why doesn't everybody pilot? Right. Because only House Orion builds the ships, and I believe it's their dragon mark that lets you pilot. And you guys, like, your land cart is tied to you guys because you acquired that. Yeah. This you acquired by illegal means. Illegaler means. Yeah,

[01:39:34] they're both illegal means. One, what just, one was, one was actually like, it's like, set up for us. Well, I was going to say, it's like an iPhone. It was, it was, it was, it was a broken, unlocked. Unlocked. Yeah. So, but I think it's, so 10, 10, 10. Yeah. All right. So I'm going to take a shot at, you're just like, last, last round you were like swinging in and now you're just have diving. Right. Yeah. So yeah. Coming down to, coming down to a halt. Yeah. So I'm going to target the one in melee with him.

[01:40:04] Managed to go down. That's a 28. Your stolen ship is no more. Okay. 10, 16, 19, 23. 23? On the one in melee with him. For damage. Yeah. There's 28 on hit. On hit. Okay. Um, sorry. I, I just fucking gapped.

[01:40:34] I'm sorry, man. So 28 to hit. Yeah. That hits. That hits. 23 damage on the one in melee with him. Dead. Are you going to second shot? Sorry. Yeah. I don't know why, I just like, eww. Fair enough. I see like the loading symbol on your forehead. So I'm going to target the one behind him. The one that was shooting at him. Yep. With my second shot, I'm going to use my sharpshooter for minus five to hit, plus ten damage. Okay.

[01:41:05] I only get one die for that. So that's 24, 19 to hit. 19 to hit will definitely hit. Nice. He has not been hit yet. Uh, not yet. Three, seven, 17 damage. 17 damage? Not dead, but ow. Uh, you killed one of the, one of the mouths.

[01:41:34] The other one is wailing in agony and fury. Yeah. Transmint of the comms. Get your asses up here. Okay. Yeah, probably good call. Finn? Why? We got him on the ropes. I mean, kind of. These ones. Why are you doing that? Um, roll the, uh, perception. How many more are there? Yeah, because right now all three of the small ones are dead. One of the big ones is dead, and there's one fresh big one, I think.

[01:42:03] That we know of. Yes, that we know of right now. The sinkhole swallowed an entire goblin town. wait a minute, we're winning. And then you hear behind you a couple more, like, guttural calls, and something, the earth is trembling a little bit from behind you. Oh. Oh. Yeah. I don't like the way that you said that. Just slash the, uh,

[01:42:33] what is it, the dull gaunt? Yeah, dull gaunt. The dull gaunt that was attacking me and failing utterly. Well, let's see, yeah, let's see what you do. Uh, I rolled a 27. 27? Yeah, we'll definitely hit. Remember, this one hasn't actually been hurt yet. You killed the first one. You didn't kill this one. Yeah. You didn't touch this one. Okay. Uh, so it's 12, and I'm gonna sink a, uh,

[01:43:03] right here? Or, I'm gonna smite. Oh, smite a force. Sorry, yeah, do, calculate all your damage. Uh, where's my other, where it is? Uh, where are my other eights? How did I get this dice?

[01:43:50] Okay. 10, 29, and 11, 30, 40. 40 damage. With a backhanded slash. Yeah, no, not even trying. You literally instantly killed it. Okay. Anybody else within reach? I've got another shot. You look over the edge, you see three more dolgons climbing up from the, uh, from the sinkhole, and then there's, like,

[01:44:20] this cloaked spidery looking creature rising up behind them. Oh, no, he's not rising, he's not levitating or anything like that. He's rising with a building. Oh, he's standing on a building. And your entire building is rising up out of the sinkhole. Why does it, its windows have eyes and teeth and, holy shit, it's a, it's a huge sized house mimic. Oh, yeah. Um, and just like,

[01:44:49] and like, little like, claws like forming out of like the brick into like organic matter, like kind of grab onto the edges as it is heralded by these three dolgons, um, coming at you. Uh, but yeah, there's a giant house sized, like house sized and house shaped mimic with a hooded spider creature, a spider critter, or a spider folk on top of its roof. Like it's like, almost like a, like a two story building. With a flat roof. And it's,

[01:45:18] this cloaked figure is on the top of the roof, rising up with it. And just like, for the delgir. Yeah. So, uh, that's, uh, yeah. So, that's your turn, I guess, right? As you kill that one. Yeah. That's, that's it for me. Yeah. Uh, so copper. Yeah. You're, you're currently being attacked. Uh, so there's that rank, the half dead range one, but then you see that.

[01:45:49] Yeah. And like, right before I was about to do anything, like I go to aim at the one right in front of me and then just, just dies. Go to aim at the other one. Not quite dead. It's not quite dead, but it's almost dead. And then you're like, all right, I got this one. Oh, fuck. Are you looking behind it? Yeah. Yeah. That's a problem. Yeah. Yeah. Finn, you might want to not look behind you and just run. Finn's on. He's looking at it. Don't stop looking at it. I know what you're wanting to do. No. Like,

[01:46:19] I've only used one spell. I have spells, but we, we, we could just leave. Can we? The ship is right there. No. Okay. So what's alive right now? Out of the original spawn. Just the one with the, the one that was reloading his crossbows that got pegged by him. Okay. Then I'm just going to shoest him. Okay. Shoest him with a bullet. And by him, I meant Kirkles for the audience.

[01:46:48] I'm not shooting Kirkles. No, I know, but don't shoot me. Way the hell up there. Because I have the bullet. It's just like, it's like, yeah. It's like that seat from, from people that dirt big is like, aiming with the console. Yeah. A little bit. But either way, I'm going to try to finish off the last small one. Yeah. I'll roll the 19. Yeah. Okay, cool.

[01:47:17] And then damage. He died. Cool. He died. What'd you get? Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Okay. Okay, cool. Yeah. You never rolled all ones. It would have been a four as well. I saw like how many dice he just rolled again. He's dead. Yeah, he did. Okay, cool. So a fire shoots out at the end of my dragon chart revolver and sets him ablaze as well. Yeah. He just starts burning. Excellent. And then you look and see these three more dolgots and a house.

[01:47:48] Or a two-story square residential building with teeth and eyes. Like teeth on the ground, on the first floor coming out of the petroleum jaws. And all the windows are just like bulging with like yellow horrid eyes. And there's this like spider-like hooded figure on the top of it that's like, yes, for the glory of our master. For the glory of the cult. Dragon Shrine revolver.

[01:48:17] Right. Sorry, hang on. For the glory of the qualmish accords. And then, yeah, you can fire. You can have a surprise day. Okay. Because we're beginning another phase of the combat night. Yeah. Okay. Well, actually, can I do a second shot on a different target? Yeah. That's two attacks. Okay. Two totally separate attacks. Whoops. Yeah. Do whatever you want. That is...

[01:48:48] If you damage him, I got extra dice. Oh, there you go. So, sorry. 19 to hit him? Sorry, 20 to hit him? I'm going to just pull up from... I need to write that plus one on here. Because I keep forgetting. I think you probably have got him, but I just wanted to check. All right. Yeah, that definitely hits him. Hell yeah. It's like, with the glory of the qualmish accords.

[01:49:18] Shoot right in the chest. What did you get for damage? I did not roll damage yet. Does he have any fire bonus negatives? No. Okay. Eight damage. Okay. He's like, takes it in the shoulder. It's like, ah! But not dead. Okay. Bonus action. I'm going to call for backup. A.K.A.

[01:49:46] My other left is going to deploy. Do I roll to see if that fucks up? I think you fixed that. I don't think I did. What happened? If I fixed it, then it would have been attuned at this point. Oh, yeah. Roll a B4. Thank you for... I swear to God, you would have fixed that over the course of this. You would think I would have. So, the reason... Like... He has to, like, spend, like, months trying to fix that. Because it's a flaw, like, for how cheap you got that prosthetic. Yeah.

[01:50:15] It was jank. Yeah. Either way, I rolled a three. Okay, I got to pull the... Explode. You died. Sorry, when? You rolled a four? Three. A three? Okay. The prosthetic explodes. Seriously? Uh... It attacks or explodes outward for collateral damage or harming a player. So, do you want to activate and fire up on one of your friends? Or do you want it to explode? And destroy itself? Yeah.

[01:50:45] Or do you want to try and... It's going to automatically hit one of them. Just blow it out. No, it's going to automatically try to hit one of us. Yeah. Go ahead. Try to hit me. I mean, granted, it's just like... When I deploy it, it's in like blade mode first, isn't it? And then I have to switch it to gun mode? It was in... If it was in sword mode, then it explodes. If it was in range mode, then it will fire one of the other. Just shoot at me, man. It's fine. Fine. Then I'll shoot at him. Okay.

[01:51:16] This thing's becoming a piece of shit. I might just get rid of it. It's not working. All right. Roll with advantage. Oh, great. I'm pretty sure we can go into the ones and get you a working one. Yeah, probably. We have enough money now. This is not worth it. No. Considering this is the first time I've shot it in combat, I think. No, you've definitely used it before. Not successfully. I don't know if I've actually fired it intentionally. Hang on. Okay. Reverse back for a second.

[01:51:45] You're supposed to roll a wisdom save test. And if that doesn't work, then there's an all function. Okay. I forgot. So do that first, I guess? Roll your wisdom save first. Roll the 16. What's the... Total of 20. Okay. It does not malfunction. It works properly. Okay. So I forgot that, like, yeah, if you... You have to roll a wisdom save every time you activate it because... Right. That thing only happens if you fail the wisdom save. Yeah, because then there's a chance that the lemon trait kicks in and there's a malfunction. Okay.

[01:52:15] Yeah. Then I'm done. Oh, okay. Um... He did not... No. Wait. When it's my turn, I can. If you like. If you make the wisdom save, shouldn't you get a shot then? I didn't want to shoot him. I just wanted to deploy it and have it ready to go. All right. But because it's jank, there is the chance of a premature discharge. Yeah. Yeah. Are we going to the club on Sunday? Oh, yeah. I'm going early on Sunday.

[01:52:45] Oh, okay. It's, uh... Cowboy action shooting day. Oh. I'll meet you up on... I'll meet you up during 10. Okay. Okay. I think I have one punch left on my card. One punch! I can do a round of five stand. If I have the card. No, I can't. I am... I'm a broke ass. Fucking broke. I have one box of shells left. I have one punch left on my card.

[01:53:15] Okay. So I guess my $80 is coming later. Yes. I guess you're not going to buy Remnant 2 anytime soon. No. Yeah. Also, Dan. I'm sure you can't do a little sort of old stuff. Oh, I know. Where in the hell is... The North American House... Mimic. The North American House... No, no. If it was a North American... There he is. It would be like...

[01:53:44] Time chewing. Oh, no. It is a gargantuan sized creature. Oh, okay. Yeah. This is very nice for me. So it is the second largest size category. Actually, that... That's... That's a lie. So it's really, really... That's no movie. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's true. The... There's... Whoa. I don't know this yet. Technically, there is a larger size category. Yeah. Right now.

[01:54:11] Well, I know that actually in Eberron they introduced Colossal Plus. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Well, I know Kraken's size is Titan. I don't know what that is. Neither do I. Yeah. I'll have to look into it. That's not... That's a monster name. Whereas actually a Titan is only Colossal. That's weird. Actually, I think they're only gargantuan. Oh, really? Yeah. Anyway, so we're talking around. So yeah, the Ettercap... Or sorry, yeah.

[01:54:39] The rote spider creature. You guys can recognize it. It looks like an Ettercap. It's one of the... It's some kind of a spider folk, basically. Okay. Don't care. Looks like a douche. Let's shoot him. He's giving a monologue. He gets shot. He's about in some bonus culty bullshit. Yeah. I think giving a monologue deserves to be shot. Sorry, Eric. Words hurt.

[01:55:09] So next up is... I know. That's why I went barred. Yeah. Because they literally hurt now. So top of the round is Kirk. So you see that as well. So... Do you want to do some mark? I just mark. I just mark. What are you doing? I'll wait to the Ettercap. The devil or the mimic? The spider motherfucker. Okay. There's another D. All right. We have to worry about the house, too, don't we? Yeah. No. Not for long. You got the house? Also, Oathbow on that motherfucker.

[01:55:39] On the Ettercap? Okay. Yeah. And he's wounded. Yep. 14 to hit? That'll hit. Um... Can I get some barricades back? That will hit. Really? 14? Just hit. Really? Are you kidding me? He's in robes. Yeah. And he's also doing like this. Like, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha. Okay, fine.

[01:56:09] He's not exactly trying to evade us right now. Yeah, he's like... I'm like, Larry! He's standing on top of a building. Yeah. Eight. Ten. Ten. Two. Six. Twenty-six. Twenty-six. Twenty-six damage? Twenty-six damage. Okay. But he gets another shot. I get another shot. And you get another shot. Okay, so twenty-six damage. Then, yeah. And I'm not even going to use sneak attack, because I don't get a sneak attack. Ooh. Oh, that's more. So that's going to hit.

[01:56:39] Yeah. A lot more. Twelve. Fifteen. Twenty-five. Twenty-eight. Thirty-two. Okay, so he's just like maniacal, and then like gets the arrow in the shoulder, then like an arrow in the chest, and then you're pretty sure you got him in the face as he just walks over the ledge.

[01:57:03] Like, he disappears onto the roof, like over the ledge of the roof? Like, he doesn't fall off the mimic. He falls onto the roof of the mimic, and you're like out of sight. You just see like the arrows sticking up. Like antenna. Wow. Shit! And you do know that he stopped monologuing. He's at least just taking a break right now. He's hearing you, shit, I blew my daily on that.

[01:57:36] It's not like we have something bigger. Oh, no. I thought he was the big bad. Yeah. No. He's just a cultist. I mean, he seemed impressive. He was really showboating. That was genius play. Yeah. He put the useless cultist on top of the thing. So. Fintan, you're up. Okay. So you've got three dope.

[01:58:05] The dope gods are going to be at you first. The house is moving slower. All right. So they can see me from where they are, yeah? Yeah. Okay. I just teleport away. Okay. Okay. Now how far. Hold on. You were next to one, right? You're going to teleport away? Uh, yeah. Grab a body. Huh? I want a body on the ship. Oh, you don't want it for what I'm doing. Oh. Never mind then. Yeah. How far do I fall per round?

[01:58:36] Uh, what do you mean? 60 feet per round? Yeah. Cool. Okay. So I am, uh, 65 feet above the house. Okay. It's cool, guys. I'm bringing down the house. You look down. You look down and you see, like, just off, off the, um, uh, the, the, uh, the knee-high wall or, like, the, the little safety perimeter along the top of the roof, you see there's, like, a dead cultist. The parapet wall.

[01:59:06] The parapet. That's it. Thank you. The parapet wall. You see a, uh, uh, uh, just a splayed out cultist of another cap. Just ruined? Uh, well, he's got, he's, he's got an arrow in his chest, his shoulder, and, like, near his neck. It's like a spurt of blood. Yeah, so he might be still alive, but he's, like, he's dying. Okay. So I'm gonna cast a spell. Oh, God. I used my action. I'm using my bonus action to cast a spell. Okay.

[01:59:36] I'm gonna need to cast two in total, so that's why I'm 65 feet. Ah, I see another round. I see. Well, so I get another bonus action before I make my attack. Um, so, uh, shit, what was I using here? Oh, God. You were keeping this to yourself. No, I got it. It's good. It's good. Okay. I just need to, uh, so I'm only 50 feet off the deck, and he's 65 above the house. So I see him up here in the air. He's probably above you.

[02:00:06] Above me. Yeah. He's dropping onto this thing. Okay. Standing there going, what the fuck? Okay, and then I'm going to use my telepathy to, uh, to speak to the house. Hey, Slady Shady. Hey, look up. You're about to have a bad day.

[02:00:29] It bends unnaturally, like, as if the stone and the masonry and the drywall and the timbers are actually made of, like, a gelatinous material, as it just, like, it bends up. Like, it literally, like, the building's, like, straight like this, and then it just bends unnaturally up so that the eyes can see up. Does anything break off of it, or is it just... No, it just bends.

[02:00:53] The one that does is you see, or you guys, uh, well, again, you see... The body slide off. Like, hitting the carpet on the other side of the roof, and then falling off. I really thought that guy was the bad guy. Yeah, me too. Nope. Figured he's the boss, and he's just, like, this giant mimic is, like, his pet, basically.

[02:01:21] I mean, that's partially true, but also not, like, the way you were thinking. Yeah. It's more like Jabba the Hutt. Was he, like, a glass cannon? Did he have, like, massive attack spells? No. He's just a dude. I just fucked up. He's literally just a lesser servitor to the actual attacks going on. I literally just blew my daily on that guy. Shit. Well done, Chris. Well done. You're welcome. Well, usually the guy monologuing is the big bad. Exactly, yeah.

[02:01:52] Like, I'm going to be honest. If he survived that, I was probably going to throw, like, a level five freaking chromatic orb at him or some shit. Okay, that's it for me. Wait, what did you do? Wait, what did you just do? He just... He talked to it to make it look up to him. Yeah, because I don't want it to... I didn't want it to continue walking forward and not be under me anymore. Oh, okay. So, it's... He's pulling aggro just by talking to it. Well, okay. Okay, sure. He's seen it.

[02:02:22] It's just going to go back and look at you guys. Fair. Fair. Why? You can see me above it. It can't do anything to you until you get down. They can ready an action. So, as soon as he falls into range, he just gets punted. Oh, never mind. It does have pseudopods up to a certain range. Yeah, okay. Cool. Oh, okay. Or that. My bad. Maybe that would be hilarious. Yeah. Yeah. Just punch him. Pretty in action.

[02:02:53] I might do that. I'm going to try to do that. So, next time... I fell 60 feet. Yeah. So, I'm only five feet above it. Oh, perfect. Because it's pseudopods. I have a ten foot range. So, yeah. Yeah. So, next up on here is... Well, that guy's dead. Well, that guy's dead. He's copper. That's like the highlight of the date. He's like, what? He wasn't the big bad? Yeah. I'm alone there.

[02:03:22] My own phone. I'm one daily. On just a guy named Steve. Steve the Spider-Man. God damn it. Yeah. I just shot Hydra Bob. Man. You called him Steve, which made me think of Shadowrun. And then I immediately thought... It would be like overclocking your spell and actually taking physical damage just to kill a Watcher Spirit. Yeah. It's like...

[02:03:51] Really? Why? A level zero Spirit. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Either way, my turn. Yep. So, I don't really know exactly what he has planned for this building and whether it's going to work. So, I don't really want to do anything that will hinder him. Just do some damage. I'm wondering if I can do something to help him. I don't know if I have... There are three medium-sized tentacled humanoids coming at you.

[02:04:21] Oh, there's more little guys? Well, there's three doled ones. The ones that he was dealing with. The medium-sized ones. There's three more of them coming at you. That are coming after you guys. God damn it. Ace. Well, I guess coming just after you because he's on an airship and he's in the sky. So, you're the only grab target. Yeah. Okay. I guess I'll have to deal with these then. How far away are they? They are probably about 30, 40 feet. Okay. Hmm. At this point.

[02:04:52] Okay then. How close to each other are they? They are sporadic. There's two of them that are like, they're about 10 feet and the other one's about 20 feet away from the others. Okay. Okay. So, they're not really close enough for things. So, at this point, at this range, I'm just going to shoot one of them. Okay. That seems to be my best bet right now. How many bullets have you used? It doesn't matter. I have put an infusion on my revolver.

[02:05:21] So, an infusion of repeating, what's it called? Repeating shots. So, it's infinite ammo. Oh, so you have a tactical assault revolver. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. The Biden administration wants to ban those. So, yes. Yeah, I'm going to shoot one of them. Probably twice. All right. I also have the other left as well. I could use that. Yeah, I'm going to shoot another left first, actually.

[02:05:51] Okay. I haven't shot that properly yet. And these things look like... Is it in sword mode or is it in bolter shot mode? The way that I would think is it would probably come out in blade mode first, probably, and I'd have to switch it. Okay, you're going to switch it? What type of action is that to do that? I would consider a fast action. A bonus action? Or a bonus action? Yeah, bonus action.

[02:06:22] But you've got to roll a little save. Okay. Or a wisdom save. I should probably just calibrate it to come out in gun first, but it's fine. Wisdom? Yeah. Total of 10? Roll a d4. Here it comes. Here it comes. Two.

[02:06:49] So, you can either have it hit you with a bolt or explode. That was three last time. No, no. Three is if it attacks someone not you or explodes. Two of these are death of the item. Yes. I have a 50-50 chance of the item blowing up. Yep. No wonder I don't use the damn thing. Fuck.

[02:07:16] So, I can either do this like the Predators movie where the guy has a shoulder caster and he looks that way and shoots himself in the side of the head. Or just have it blow up and be done with it. Yeah. And get a new one that you haven't done with. I'm kind of done with this damn thing. I mean, the explosion's also going to hurt you a little bit, but... Less than me being shot in the side of the head with 3d6 probably. Yeah, and I'm probably just like that d6. Six.

[02:07:47] Of course. I was going to say... Or do you want to roll the damage? I was going to say... I mean, the thing is, like... Even if it shoots you, like... If it goes off and shoots you and hits you... Then it will work after that. It's just, do you want to take 3d6 of damage... And then have the weapon work? Or do you want it to explode? I'm curious.

[02:08:17] Oh, that's a lot more. Well, you can take one of those if you want. You can take one of those and substitute for the 6. For the 6? Yeah, I'll do that. I'll take the 2, put the 6 in there. You can blow your head right off. And it shoots and I'd have to reload it because it just shot me in the side of the head. Which would use another bonus action. You just like... Pull the one that just like stuck in you and just like slot it back in. I did. I did. Oh, this fucking thing. Dave, I love you.

[02:08:46] This is hilarious and awesome. Screw it. I'm going to let it shoot me in the side of the head. Okay, so you take... How much damage did you take? 12? Use your move of your fucking contracts. Yeah. Goddamn piece of shit. Again, you bought the service to get it installed.

[02:09:16] Half price. And because it was half price, I gave you the lemon trade. Yeah. Which means it only works half the time for half the price. You wanted this thing installed. Yeah. So, yeah. Goddamn. Whatever. It works. Yeah. Okay, so... So, wait. That was the start of my turn? Yeah. Was me attempting to switch that using my bonus action. It did not work. It shot me in the side of the head. Yeah.

[02:09:46] So, that's my bonus action done. So, I still have a regular action. Yeah. Does me having a bolt in the side of my head result... Affect my accuracy at all? No. Okay. It's like in your shoulder. Like, it basically... It came out and it basically just pegged you in like this... Where the shoulder meets the neck. It's behind you, so it's pegging you. Yeah. Great. Love it. Okay. It gave you the Vulcan Death Pack. Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. Hate this.

[02:10:16] The three creatures that came out, do they have any ranged weaponry? No. They're primarily claws and tentacles. Okay. What's around me right now, like, cover-wise anyways? There's a couple of wagons and some of those sheets that are still on ropes and stuff. You say sheets. They're just like visual cover. It's not actual, like... Like linen sheets. They go from... It's a visual cover, but not something that would stop a bolt. Yeah. Nothing here really would stop a bolt. Maybe the wagons, like, wood and stuff.

[02:10:45] It is concealment. Okay. Okay. Here's your word for the day, by the way. Thank you. So yeah, I'm just going to shoot. Okay. Actually, no. I have not been using magic. I should probably just use magic and try to burn one of these guys down. I'm going to use a second level spell slot chromatic orb. See if I can't burn one of these down.

[02:11:16] Bar wizard. Yes, I am. And I've been exclusively shooting bullets. You've been artificing all up. Yeah, pretty much. And where has it got you? Yeah. It's fine. A bolt in the shoulder. Yeah, yeah. So wait, that is a ranged attack, so I have to try. Ow, my robot clown. Total of 19 to hit. Oh, I've written a print driver. Yeah. Sorry, how much? 19. 19 hits, yeah. Okay.

[02:11:45] So then this is three. Explains why the print driver fucking works. Yep. This. Firework last time, so we'll do fire again. The way you guys are like sitting there, like, because you guys are on those swimming chairs, like near the... They're an audience right now. We're an audience watching. You guys need popcorn right now. Oh, fuck, that'd be awesome. That'd be awesome. I do have popcorn.

[02:12:15] Okay, I'm back and chips. One, two, two, three. Okay, so... I'm going to give up for that in a minute. If you do, can I get a Coke? If I do, yeah. Okay. Okay. So, in my shield hand, because I have a gun in the other hand, I guess, the diamond pops out and switches through a bunch of different elements, and when it turns orange, I shoot out a gout of fire that does... I forgot the number. 23 fire damage to the closest one, Tim. Okay.

[02:12:44] Which is probably just the one in the middle. Yeah. He's hurting. He's not dead yet. Okay. The one in the middle, you said? Yes. And that's the end of my turn. I'll probably use a move action to retreat back a bit to get some more range. Okay, yeah, because they're running at you, or they're charging at you. Okay, so that's it. Thanks. Thank you.

[02:13:10] Dolgont number one is running up to you, not a full, like, 30 feet, but enough so that his 15 foot reach of his tentacles can hit you. What about with me retreating? How far are you retreating? As far back as I can in a move action, which is 30 feet. 30 feet? And you guys are about 30 feet. So basically they're, I guess in this round, and they're basically all just kind of running at you. You're being chased by the right Dolgots. Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.

[02:13:39] Oh, well, they're running at you. Oh, yeah, probably should. They be, um... If they're doing a charge, Yeah. Then they do get to double move, but they only get a single attack. Okay. How far away is the ladder from me? They don't get all of their tentacle attacks. Oh, okay. Let's do that. They get one attack. Any one of their attacks. Yeah. Yeah. And climbing isn't going to be the same speed as just movement speed. No. So I'd probably be able to get there and hang on us as they stab me.

[02:14:11] That actually probably is what's about to happen. Yeah. So they're all charging. They're all charging. So the first one charges at you, and one of its tentacles is going to, like, leap, like, kind of, like, lunge out, like, with the momentum of the charge to try to strike you. Yeah. Like a cobra or a naga. Thank you. That one misses. Excellent. The next one. It. That one misses. Excellent. Switching dice. Don't do that.

[02:14:45] Oh, melee attack disadvantage. Rob. It's starting to make you hate. Freaking Rob now. They all, they're just like, poof, poof, poof, poof. It's just, like, very, like, panic, like, frantic, like, avoiding these, like, viper strikes and these tentacles as these things are charging at you. Should I be rolling fear at this point? Like, yeah, roll wisdom saving. This is fucking unnerving. Like, these, like, you're a robot. There's no fear rolls here. And that's fucked up. Yeah.

[02:15:13] Like, I am not immune to fear unless I am. I am too ill dressed. Yeah. It wasn't what I was expecting. Actually, so, Will? The purple bag is usually the apple with smoked bacon. Yeah. 17? 17 for what? Oh, for fear? For, yeah. Okay, you're not, yeah, you're not stricken with fear. It's concerning. Yeah, you are, like, oh, God. These guys are a lot faster.

[02:15:40] And it's also really, like, unnerving and creepy because they are, like, also, they're charging and running at you in, like, a weird stop motion way. It's like... Yeah. Like, their joints are, like, you can hear their joints, like, arthritically snapping every time they move. Yep. But, yeah, that's what's going on with that. The house now makes a... is making its move, finally. It's going to try and bat you back into the sky with one of its pseudopods.

[02:16:10] Actually, how many attacks does it have? One punch! Oh, God, it's got three pseudopod attacks. Oh, no. Okay, so the first one... I wish I had something that I could have cast on you to help, but I don't think I do. Not at this range. 24. To hit?

[02:16:42] Man, looking out those windows must be a real pain. Silver rebarbs. Roll again. 22. Shit, that was still hit. Damn. Okay. 18 damage. Sorry? 18 damage. Okay, it takes 15 damage. That's fair. Also, he's going to strike you again.

[02:17:12] Because I think that was the first attack. Yeah. So. So, yeah, the one thing I could have helped you with is potentially Sanctuary, but you were out of range and I did not have it prepared this time. Mm-hmm. That's okay. So how much damage? 15? Yeah. All he did was take off my armor mechanism. Okay. 20 damage. What's the attack roll? The attack roll was nine.

[02:17:44] What? And then you didn't hit, so I drew all damage. No, no, sorry. 20. Sorry. 20 attack roll. Jesus Christ. You never plus 11 to attack? Yeah. No, no. It's a gargantuan-sized monstrosity. And he missed. Okay. Um, I should make sure it won't make sure that was actually... Sorry. No, actually, um... Hang on. So what have missed? No.

[02:18:14] That way it hit. Okay. Jesus fucking Christ. He can't miss me. It's a giant monster. It's literally... And I'm the size of a fly. How good are you at hitting flies? I'm just saying... Um, that one's gonna be... 12 damage. And the third pseudopod. I hate that you're miles away from me, too.

[02:18:44] I think that's gonna be 32? To hit? Yeah. Christ. This is not going well. Get back on the boat. No, now I'm just mad. 17 damage. Yeah, you're just like... And you were, like, whacked three times. So basically, um...

[02:19:12] You go up about 30 feet in the air. Like, higher than you were. You were coming down at him. And he... You were five feet away from him. And he flung you up. Yes, Aaron? Aaron. You literally just ruined my setup. Ruined. Ruined it.

[02:19:43] Fuck you, man. It is what it is. Oh, fuck. And I got hit. So I have to roll three fucking concentration checks. It's almost like he's the villain. I succeeded on all three. Okay. And you guys thought this was gonna be an easy thing?

[02:20:12] No, but I thought I'd get my one hit in. Well, that's its turn. And it's on top of the round. And so you're gonna come back down to, like, on your round. Yeah, it's only 30 feet, though. It was 65 before. Yeah. So Kirkus, we did... I'm gonna shoot it. Okay. How far away is Aaron from me right now?

[02:20:41] Actually, he's miles away. I had to retreat. I ran back 30 feet from where I was. So you're probably, like, 60 or more feet away from me right now. Oh, fuck, man. I can't help you. Do you think? Well, of course. He can shoot anything that isn't... I can shoot that thing. He can kill anything that isn't over the horizon. Pretty much. Yeah.

[02:21:10] But I can't help you in any way. Mm-hmm. There is no way in which I can heal you. There's no way in which I can extract you. All I can do is shoot the creature in your way to attack. Mm-hmm. Could you teleport? If force comes to shove, you could back up 65 feet. And then wait another whole round of falling. And then get attacked another three times. And get knocked up another 30 feet. Weird. And just spend round after round being juggled and not attacking.

[02:21:39] That sounds like a colossal waste of fucking time. Fair. And spell slots. Yeah. Weird. It's almost like you're fighting a kaiju-sized monster. Uh-huh. How about this, Aaron? Why don't you teleport inside him? He's a building. You have to stab him inside. Do a Drax. Bad idea. Technically, he's not actually a building. Is he not? It is a creature masquerading. Yeah, yeah. He ends up... You could Drax it, though.

[02:22:09] Drax it. Just keep stabbing him from the insides. Mm-hmm. Or get inside and then the mother of all smites. Maybe. That'd be hilarious. You just drop every smite you have into one shot. Blow his guts out. You know, apparently I can't spend more than one spell slot on an individual smite. A smite. How high I love spells slot for you. Three. Well... Sad.

[02:22:38] Which is still pretty substantial. That's five die eight worth of damage. Added onto the normal damage. But it's still my turn. Yes. It is, sir. We're now top of the round. So he's in melee with this guy, right? You're seeing poor Orphan Tan just getting, like, juggled up by pseudopods. He's in melee, so I have advantage. You're 35 feet up. Mm-hmm. You will get there in half a turn.

[02:23:17] I know. I'm just doing the math. Hold on. Okay, so he's in melee, so I get advantage. And I get sneak attack. And he's damaged, so I get these dice. Anyways, so I'm going to use my sharpshooter to subtract five from my attack roll and add ten damage. Okay. Eight. Seventeen to hit. Uh, seventeen will just meet or meet. Perfect.

[02:23:46] It's harder to hit the giant building than it is the cultist. I don't make up the fucking rules. I'm just saying. That's a little ridiculous. Ten, twenty, five. It's literally hitting the broad side of a bar. Thirty-nine damage. Thirty-nine damage? Okay. And I do it again. Sure. Ooh, seventeen. That's a good one. So I definitely hit. Yeah.

[02:24:15] Another seventeen? Yeah, I can't. No, hold on. I can't do sneak attack. Okay. Oh, but I do designate my quarry. That's bone sack. I'm beating you with math. Okay. Also, Aaron, if it would help, I could slow. I could put a slow cube on you. Fifteen, twenty-five. On him and you. Fifteen, twenty-five. Yeah. To reduce his number of attacks. But also reduce your number of attacks. Because it's a cube and I don't think it matters. You know what? You go ahead and do it.

[02:24:44] Because by the time you go, I won't be there. Okay. Yeah. So you basically, Kirkus, you're basically just taking out, you're stabbing, you're shooting eyes. I'm popping eyes. That's all I'm going for. And it's not like an eye, but it's more of like irritated at this point. Really? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Like it's not happy that its eyes are getting poked, or poked out, but it's not like,

[02:25:11] it's more like a, like it's more like small, like irritated grunts. Get back on the ship. So next up is Finn. Forty feet. I'm adding forty feet to my height. Okay. Which takes me up to seventy-five feet. So next round, once I've fallen sixty feet, I'll be fifteen feet above him. Which is five feet above his fucking reach. Wow.

[02:25:41] You better. You better fucking accept it. I know. Like, there's me. I'm like, okay. All right. So the reach of those two to pod. Six feet to three feet. Fuck this. I'm just, I'm just calculating. Okay. And once I get up there, I'm going to cast Hex. Okay. This is the dumbest plan. I love it. It is. It's pretty dumb. I only have bad plans. And they either go terribly or really well.

[02:26:09] This is almost as good as Operation Invisible Day. Yeah. A little bit, yeah. It's kind of got the vibes. Okay. Okay. So it's Hex. Yeah. Beyond that, I just have a move action, which I can use to drink a potion. Oh, there you go. Yeah. All right. So how good are these healing potions we got? They are.

[02:26:39] It looks like all the moderate ones were burnt unless we restocked up, which we probably would have, honestly, in the meantime. Yeah. It's been three or four. Yeah. So 44 plus four. I'm going to write down that I need to buy those, though, because I would have bought those. This is basically my shopping list that I paid for. Yeah. Well, it's a good thing you guys have a new apothecary in town. Yep.

[02:27:04] Even if it's Sarah von Tattermill's, I think, cousin or brother. So it's 11 plus... Oh, so there'll be five each, right? He's smarter than his sister cousin. Damn. I think it was a cousin. That's it for me. Nope. That's a little angry. You got it.

[02:27:36] Next up is a copper. Okay. So you're dealing with the dull gods. Yeah, I was retreating to the rope, but because they were in the middle of stabbing me as I got to the rope, I probably retreated back past them, trying to get back past the rope, trying to not be hit. So I'm still close to the rope, but I didn't jump on it yet because then I would have been a piñata at that point.

[02:28:03] I would be sacrificing my dex bonus and taking the hits, basically. Probably that could be good if you get jabbed by one of those tentacles, I'm just saying. Oh, great. You're seeing them? They're like lamprey sucker, like lamprey mouths on each of those tentacles with a weird purple yellow pulsating energy. I am a warforge, though. Does that matter? No. Because it's... There's a little creature still. Oh, I mean if it's a blood-sucking thing. I don't have blood. I don't know, are you immune to necrotic damage?

[02:28:32] You should be. I'm immune to disease. That's not necrotic damage. I resist poison. Nope. I have advanced poison saving throws. Nope. What else could I randomly say? I don't need to eat, drink, or breathe. You still have the real constitution stage. Yeah. Yeah. It's not a disease. It's not a poison. It's just... It's chaos mutation. Yeah. So, yeah.

[02:29:03] It's not going to be nice. I mean, you're made of wood. It is literally rot and rust to you. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. So, what are you doing, Kappa? So, they're still on your heels, basically. Are they in melee with me? Basically. Basically. It's all you can do to basically just, like, back paddle and avoid Viper Strikes from their tentacles. Does switching weapons call for attacks of opportunity? Is what? Switching weapons.

[02:29:32] If I drop the weapon and pull out a new one. You just drop the weapon? Actually, I'm not dropping the Dragon Trapper call. I don't know. Aaron? Sorry? Sorry. Switching weapons. Is that a... Does that call for attack of opportunity? He's not in melee. Okay. Only thing that calls for attacks of opportunity now is leaving a threatened space. Okay. But I could also disengage. Yes. And disengaging does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

[02:30:02] And that's a move action? No, that's an action. That's an action. So, I could do an action to disengage and then do my move action to run away 30 feet, but not actually attack. Yes. Okay. He's the only one who can disengage as a bonus action. Okay. Or rogues are the only ones we can. Yeah. Because I'm considering switching to the Karnathi Mace to make these guys scared and run away. That's even if it'll work. Yeah. I feel like these things are not fearful. But they're smart enough to use weapons. Like, they have...

[02:30:31] I would think they have some sort of intelligence to them. These are the things that go bump in the night. I don't think they're scared of much. Yeah. I'm scared of them. They're not scared of me, probably. Even magically. Okay. Okay. Next plan. So, what's your climb speed? I don't know. What's my climb speed? Half your movement.

[02:31:01] Half my movement? So long as you're climbing something that is designed to be climbed. And... Which is the rope ladder. Yeah. Yeah. So you can double move. You can dash. I can disengage and then dash. Which would be 60 feet of movement speed to use that 10 to get to the rope and the rest to go up.

[02:31:31] Yeah. What you gonna do? That might be the safest to get away from them. Warforge. Warforge. What you gonna do? What you gonna do when the gods come to you? Yeah. Those tentacles. Look at pretty nasty. Don't forget to turn off your flashing lights. Yeah. Yo, use dancing lights. Yeah. Do you have a war person whoop yet? No. We need one.

[02:32:00] Whoop whoop. Yeah. We got copper. Mm-hmm. Yeah, whoop will be my first deputy or whatever. I feel like we have to paint Rob in black and white stripes and give him like a bandana over his mouth. Because he's a robber. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe give him like a raccoon. The raccoon mask. Yeah. The raccoon mask thing, yeah.

[02:32:31] Either way. Yeah, I'm gonna attempt to disengage and then dash to the rope and climb up it, which would get me how far up the rope? 40? Well, you were 50. You said it was 50. Half of whatever rope that you had. So 50 feet up. So you get 25 feet up the rope, so you'd be halfway there. Okay. So then, yeah. That would be... I live on a prayer.

[02:32:58] So that'd be my move action and my main action. But I'd still have bonus action. Do you need help? Should I come to the other side of the boat and start firing you out of the water? Or better yet, he grabs onto the rope, bring the airship up a bit. Like lift it up. He can teleport, so it doesn't matter. Yeah. Okay. If you tell me to bring the boat up, I'll bring you out of it. I mean... He said you love. You do both. Get out! Accept! Dissect!

[02:33:27] I've got a vendetta. I'm going home. Okay. Ha! Ha ha! I could also just dim door up there. Yeah. It took a second to realize what you're talking about. What's the last time on dim door? It's one action to cast dim door. You can apparently do it really quickly. Okay. So I could literally just teleport back on the ship. It's up to you. Instead of doing all this nonsense. It's 30 feet. Bonus action. Remember, you are a wizard. Yeah. So, yeah.

[02:33:56] I'm just going to dim door because even me disengaging and doing all that, that leaves Rob down there. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. And do we want Rob Ford to come out right now? I don't know. So, no. I'm just going to quickly dim door and get out of there. Okay. You're just like... What are you... What are you... Oh, yeah. I'm a fucking wizard. I'm a wizard. Yeah. I'm part wizard. Yeah. God, how do wizards even work? Mm-hmm. So I pull out Herman, my multi-tool. Stab him into the ground.

[02:34:26] Stab him into the ground. Twist like it's a doorknob. Open it up. Grab Rob. Throw me and him in there. It pulls the door behind me. Knock, knock. Open up the door. It's Rob. Yeah, so suddenly from the deck of the skycap, a door opens up. And we fall up and out and land. Yeah. Because that's how for it. And you see some claws and tentacles like riding us. Close the door. Yep.

[02:34:54] I'm shooting at them because I'm closing it. Pull up the rope ladder. Yeah. Oh, shit. You go to do that. Except, like, suddenly you guys on the ship, you're like, okay, I'm safe. And the ship's out there. There's like a sudden hard, like, just, like, dip. I was like, what? And then you look down and on the rope ladder, they're climbing up. Of course they are. All three of them are. So cut the rope ladder. Yeah. Speed up. Yeah.

[02:35:24] So it's 50 foot. So yeah, they're about halfway up. I kind of wish the rope was made of metal because I could just grab it, chuck and grasp. Yeah. Just keep doing it. Well, then maybe you should make a new ladder out of a metal cable. Mm-hmm. Maybe I should. So they're about halfway up the ladder, Kripalus, when it's your turn. Oh, sorry. No, not your turn. It's the house. The very last combatant is the house. The house always wins. Yep.

[02:35:55] Yeah, it's kind of just like looking up at you, like, rapidously. Like, it's like, it's just like readying its pseudopods. What is it, like a, doing like a boxing stance? Did you forget about readying actions? A pugilist. A pugilist. Did you forget about readying actions? If you ready an action to attack, you get one attack. He wants more than one attack. Fair.

[02:36:24] But yeah, it's basically... Yeah, it's basically just like waiting, because it's like... It's looking up. It's just one, two, five. Yeah. Yeah. It's doing... It's Donkey Kong charging at Smash Brothers. Yeah, basically. Yeah. So, um... Top of the round. Kirk. They're climbing up the rope ladder to get to your carriage. Your sky cabin. Okay. How tall is the house?

[02:36:53] The house is two floors. We need to go cut that rope ladder. Hmm? Run over and cut the rope ladder. Okay. Yeah. The movement and, uh... Attack action? Yeah. So, rope ladder falls. Yeah. They fall to the ground. But they were how far up? 25 feet. Okay. So they take 2-6 damage each. Okay. Hell yeah. Unintentional AoE damage. Five damage each.

[02:37:25] And that's enough to kill them. Yeah. Yeah. No. Since I'm already there, fire a shot. Uh... 13. 23, I should say. Uh... 23? Yeah. Uh... They're damaged. Uh... Yep. Question. How... How much poundage is your bow? And how long are your arrows? Because if they fell on top of each other, it's just... Shush kebab.

[02:37:54] I know, DM, will that be a lot? You don't have to. Question. Question. Hang on, hang on, hang on. If he does enough damage to one to kill it, Yeah. Can he then... Apply half damage to the... Half damage to the next one down. You know what? And so on and so on. I don't think they do that much damage. I don't know. I need to roll. I didn't check that. To see if they are still stuck in like a pile. In a dog pile. Or if they fell off each other.

[02:38:20] Because they do have a move that lets them actually roll... Anything that gives them a dexterity save, they actually don't take any damage rather than half damage. Or they take... If they fail, they take half damage. And if they succeed, they don't take any half damage. Even though... Oh, okay. They... Oh, yeah. They never... Basically for AOE attacks. Yeah. So they never take full AOE damage. Yeah, basically. They either take half or not. So based off that, they're pretty fast. And like kind of like quick to... Quick and nimble.

[02:38:50] So I'm going to roll to see if they actually would like... Suddenly move off to the side. Like from being piled up. Yeah. Yeah, they basically like... They've scattered. They didn't just pile up. That's fair. It was still 18 damage. 18 damage to one. Okay, that one's not dead. Hit him again. Okay.

[02:39:20] 11. The hit? Yeah. That misses. Okay. It's my turn. Okay. They are stuck on the ground. You guys are up in the air. Speaking up on the air. Ben. Okay. Round two. I'm going to cast Armor of Agathys. Okay? Okay? Guess I'm going to mark that down.

[02:39:47] A true strike on myself. Okay.

[02:40:16] Because I can cast another cantrip. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. So, yeah. That's it. And then I fall 60 feet. I'm still five feet out of this range. Yep. Okay. Okay. Now I get to attack next round. Yep. Copper. Okay. So, they're down there. One of them got hit twice with arrows. Yeah. But they're all still up? Yep. Okay. They've now scrambled up.

[02:40:48] What's the radius of them in relation to each other? At this point, they're probably about like... About five or ten feet by each other. Okay. Hmm. I kind of want to fuck them over real good. Because I could funnel them. I could keep them basically where they are.

[02:41:17] Do like a fish in a barrel situation. If I did that, would that actually help gameplay-wise at all? Aside from just stopping them from retreating, which they're probably not going to do anyways. Yeah. Just be safe.

[02:41:47] I'll... I'll just use my Wanda magic missile and put a couple of charges on one of them. Okay. So, that is... So, three darts plus I'm using two charges. So, that gets another one. It gets one additional dart per extra charge, right? Sorry. Wand of magic missile.

[02:42:16] If I use two charges, it gets one additional dice? Yes. Yeah. Actually, these things really aren't dying. I'm going to use another charge. I don't have another dice, but I'll use another one. Yep. Seven, eights. Ten, eleven, twelve. Twelve damage from... Plus five. Oh. Okay, fine. Seventeen.

[02:42:44] Seventeen damage as five magic missiles shoot out of my Wand of Magic Missiles. Question. Are you attacking the... I'm attacking one. Whatever one was hit. Okay. All of them were hit. The one that was most recently hit by us. I want to make sure he dies. He died. Okay, cool. As he's just like anime launch of missiles, they like fly out and spiral around. Oh, yeah. Totally. Smashing the target. They always go in every direction that they're not supposed to go. Yeah. Until they go to the target. Absolutely.

[02:43:14] Because that's the coolest way to do it. Yeah, of course. And then that's one action. And then bonus action. Actually, you can't do much with the bonus action up here. I suppose I could use a... Is it bonus action or move action to drink a potion? Move action. Okay. Well, I will do that. Okay. Because I might as well. And...

[02:43:42] Don't have much else to do with the bonus action, so I guess I'm good to go. Okay. Okay. So the other two Adolgons... Or... Yeah, Adolgons. See their one friend kind of just splatter from multiple impacts from the magic missiles. Mm-hmm. And seeing no way of getting up to you. Just running into the jungle. Like running for the tree line.

[02:44:12] Okay, maybe I should have fun hold them then. I didn't think they'd run away. It's hard to get a grasp on their intelligence of these things. They're aberrations, so they don't think like people. Yeah. Not anymore. But they're not just so dumb... Yeah. They're not so dumb that they're just like clawing at nothing, attacking the ship that they can't reach. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Because they do think, but their thought process is alien to us. Yeah.

[02:44:46] Right. So, um... Yeah, they're gone. They run into the tree line. How far away is the tree line? Probably like 50, 60 feet. Oh, okay. I didn't realize the trees were that close. There's jungle all around you guys. There's like... The clearings aren't that big. Like to the... And like you guys have like had some space around like for where the wagons and stuff were, but at this point they just... They booked for the tree line. Okay. They're gone at least.

[02:45:15] So next up is the house. I can't see. Let's see what... Does it have anything else you can do? Do I want to be a friend? No. You know, I'm curious to see where this is going to go. So yeah, he's just like... He... It doesn't know what you're planning, so it's just like... All right.

[02:45:46] Bada, bada, bada, bada, bada, bada. Let's do this. In the... They don't speak because they're mimics, but like it's basically... You get the impression it's like... Bada, bada, bada, bada. Swing, bada. Okay. And top of the round for Cripplus. We're off in the jungle. Yep. We head back to the other side of the boat. And return fire on the house again. Which is still in melee, right? Yep. Well...

[02:46:15] It's not terrible in melee. No, it's not. I'm not in reach. Yeah. Oh well. Doesn't matter. 27. Yep. That hits. And it is still my quarry. Yep. 16 damage. 16 damage? Okay. And they get to do it again? Yep. Ah, it's not going to make it.

[02:46:46] 12? No. Nope. Okay. It's my turn. Okay. Next up is... Okay. Stop trying to hit him and hit him. Okay. Well, I used a... a... a... a... a...

[02:47:15] 12 and 10, 22. That hits. Okay. But I'm going to roll again just to see if it's a natural 20, which it is not. Okay. So... We get to do... die 8 and a die... Okay. Okay. 12 and 6. So that's... 18 damage with my sword. Okay. Okay.

[02:47:46] My fall damage also kicks in. So... He gets to take 7 die 6 damage. As do I. Okay. What will exchange? What is? What you're doing. Oh.

[02:48:17] Oh, no, I don't want that dice. I want this dice. There we go. 9... 10... 12... 14... 18... That's 23. 23 falling damage.

[02:48:45] Which, because I also take damage, that takes off my armor of Agathys, and he gets to take an extra 15. Yep. That's the fall. Okay. So now I get to add on the Thundering Smite, which I cast when I was on the ground. So that's another 5.

[02:49:23] And now I'm going to tap out a 3rd level spell slot. Yep. And Smite. Is it? Do it all again. Chut, chut, chut. He does all this, and he's like, and then I have another shot. Yeah. Okay. So that's 8, 10, 10 is 20, 22. So that's...

[02:50:15] In total, I smoked him for a total of 83 damage. What the fuck? And I get another shot. For real? Yes, he does. Of course he does. Okay. That was close. Uh, 12 and 10, 22. 22 will hit. Okay.

[02:50:43] So that's, uh... Where is this? 6 and 2. 8 and 6 is 14. And... And... We'll use my last 3rd level spell slot, and we will Smite again. You can't use 2 spell slots in a turn. I can use 2 spell slots for Smiting in a turn. I can't use 2 spell slots on a single Smite.

[02:51:14] All right. All right. 7. 7 is 14. 17. Okay. 22 and 8 is 30. Do you need a bigger piece of paper to calculate all this?

[02:51:36] It's an additional 44. Okay. You would have just 14. You would have to cream down, missing the pseudopods, and impacting the roof, or like, the part that was facing you of this mimic. How do you want to go? Wow. Is there a chimney?

[02:52:07] There could be. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going down the chimney. So it was... I'm motherfucking Santa Claus. One of the pseudopods was actually one of the chimneys. Okay. All right. I'm going straight up that chimney like a catheter. A catheter with a barb sticking out the side. A holy barb, because it's all... So you guys just see him vanish into... One of the pseudopods that is...

[02:52:36] Like, looks partially like a chimney. Oh, it's nice knowing you. Let's get out of here, Karen. And then, like, a moment later, you're just like... And it just goes... Like, it just, like... It takes a few steps, like, groaning. And then the entire two-story house mimic just tips over and crashes on the...

[02:53:03] The caravan of wagons and then the relief area. And just crushes everything underneath it, like a demolition job. And it just... The house dies. Okay. It seems to this day, the house doesn't... The house has fallen. Yeah. You see Kuros climbing out a basement window? Vintan.

[02:53:33] Vintan climbing out a basement window. Okay. Uh, yeah. As the dust and grime styles were... How do you escape? How do you, like, get out of this monster? It was an organism inside. Like, it is a flesh and blood organism on the inside. I guess I have a laser sword. I can tauntaun this shit. Yep. So you guys are like, well, I guess that's it. There's a few moments. No, fuck it. I'm just like, I'm just back on the deck of the ship. So you just teleport. So it's not Star Wars. It's Indiana Jones where they're like, well, I guess he's dead.

[02:54:03] But he just shows up. And then he's like, you guys? It's like... Yeah, it's really too bad, guys. I know. He was the best paladonk I've ever seen. Spectacular. Yeah. Wait! So, did you happen to grab any bodies while you were teleporting up here? I teleported from in the belly of the beast.

[02:54:32] I mean, I guess we could go down and get some. Yeah, let's go loot some shit. Yeah. It's 128 damage in one round. That's ridiculous. So it took me four rounds to do it. Yeah. I will say. I will say. Average damage per round is still way less than mine. Kurglis was your friend. Had he not shot and done damage on his last move, you would not have killed it. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow.

[02:54:59] He basically set you up for the final shot. You're welcome. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. And then the rest of the town moves. Get out of here. No, no. Everything settles for now. And you guys go back down and check the bodies and such. Yeah, we should try to train that house. Get out trained? God.

[02:55:29] So you guys can roll us. He could have babysat the town. He could have been our house sitter. Roll investigate or perception to search bodies and... Oh, I forgot to do a thing. Oh, well. Honestly, I kind of want to do my perception just to keep an eye out to see if those other ones come back. Because I'm kind of concerned about them. 18. 18? Okay, so you were looking through the Dolgots there. The clothing is pretty recent.

[02:55:58] Like attire. These were probably... This looks like pretty modern... These aren't ancient Dolgots. These are... The shreds of clothing they're wearing is pretty modern. They're still wearing Adidas? Hmm? They're still wearing Adidas. Effectively, they're... What I'm trying to get at is... You get... These were freshly warped. Pretty bad Dolgots. And you're... And then you hear like a sputtering sound. Like a gurgling sputtering sound. And you look over.

[02:56:29] And in like a bit of debris and in like next to like a piece of... Next to like a mound of like detritus and stuff. You see that fucking Ettercat cultist. He's not dead. He's like holding on to his... He's like holding on to like the bow... The arrow in his chest. And holding on to his neck. And he's like... You think you've... You've won. You've done nothing but... Bang.

[02:56:59] You're not there. I know, I know. You've done nothing. You've... Has moved on. I'm gonna make a medicine check to stabilize him. Okay. We don't have a cultist in our town yet. 14? 14? Okay, yeah. You manage to like... Like you um...

[02:57:28] Put like a salve or something like that on his... Like... On the neck room so it won't like... You just like pull his hand away and just basically... Slap something. Immediately bleed out. Yeah. Slap something there so it won't bleed out. And you're like... The gut shot isn't great but it's not gonna kill him yet. You do not die without my permission. You're all going to send it into the flesh.

[02:57:56] I'm quite certain that the Goblin King will ensure you die screaming. But that is for him to decide. Uh... That's the will of the Quamish Accords. That's what be it. It won't matter. Yeah. Soon.

[02:58:25] Nothing will matter soon. I don't know why I was holding that because I was like mimicking him... It probably still hurts. Yeah, yeah. Probably still doesn't look... Suck. Atleo be praised. Atleo be praised. Can I gag him? Yeah. I mean he's got like these mandibles so you kind of stuff them underneath the mandibles under his mouth. All right. That's good with it. God. More than welcome to him.

[02:58:55] So you gag him and bind him I guess. Yeah. Gonna take him out back on the ship. Gonna grab a couple of Dolgon bodies. Yep. Maybe a tentacle from the house. Sure. Yeah. Um... You guys can all roll me... A testicle from the house. You guys can all roll me, um... Um... Perception. Hey man.

[02:59:24] I got you this tentacle. Don't worry about paying me. It's on the house. No, it's off the house. Nine. Perception? Yep. 32 because I was talking. 13. 13? Yes. 24. 24. Uh... So everybody hears like a whistle... Like a wind...

[02:59:53] Kind of whistling sound. Like... It's like wind, but it's like blowing through something. Fintan, you hear words in that wind. And it's... You know kind of where it's coming from. It's coming from... The crater. Where the, uh... Where that fireball landed. Like... Off the waves. And it sounds... The words kind of sound like... Return my child. Not happening. Return my child.

[03:00:23] Your world will be consumed. And it repeats that over and over again in the winds. Well, we don't really know what the child is. That's... Yeah, and like... Even if we knew, we probably wouldn't do it. No. But we don't know what it is, so... Fuck them. Yeah, there's a creepy voice on the winds. We're probably gonna do the exact opposite of what it says. Because it's probably not a good voice. Guys, can I have a rest? Just a short one. Like an hour or so. Cure light wounds. You're fine. Let's go.

[03:00:55] I love the spells. I know. I'm pretty sure once we get back on the ship, we can take a nice long rest. Yeah. So is that where you guys are just like... You're... Heading out then? Or are you guys... I don't think there are any survivors here. Do we find any? Well, you can't find... You haven't found anything around the relief area or the... Where the remaining buildings are. Yeah, like while they were getting loot and stuff, I was keeping an eye out on the forest,

[03:01:23] but also like looking around to see if there's anyone else. And we also wanted to check the bottom of the craters. We do not want to check the bottom of the craters. Did you see what came out of that? Absolutely fucking not. We killed what came out of the bottom of it. It's fine. Yeah, one of them. Okay, so we killed the two-story house. I don't want to fight the apartment building. You think goblins built an apartment building? They're crafty little buildings.

[03:01:49] I will say, goblins have only been occupying this town for about 30 years. This building was... The foundations of the city were originally seared. They were built on rock and roll. Yeah. That being seared. Like architecture. So there's probably a leftover apartment block here. If you want, we could get all of our stuff ready to go on the ship,

[03:02:16] and I can just keep throwing cantrips of ray of frost at all the buildings in there. If any of them flinch, we leave. If none of them flinch, we loot. That's totally valid. Because I would like to point out, we were almost hired to come check out a bank here that's probably fallen into that. Don't bring up profits. I want to go home. We're not going down there. Well, I mean, you can go down there. After a rest.

[03:02:45] I'm not going down there. Okay, so a night goes by. So you guys are staying the night in your little airship 300 feet above the site. Yeah, way the fuck up there. All right. Yeah, so while you're doing that, who's doing the watchers? Is anybody looking down during the night in some of that? Yeah, sure. Because I need to sleep. We'll spot it. Well, and you're an elf, so you only have to sleep four hours. That is...

[03:03:13] And I'm just a human, so... You know you're not human. Oh, yeah. That is exposed now. If Quetzel straight up told you you're a Kalashtoy. We all saw. I'm still allowed to live in denial. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Total of 14. I just had it in your dreams. It just manifests like slap. It's like, you are a Kalashtoy.

[03:03:41] Hey, we're on the gal over, not the denial. 14. 14. You see a shimmering of movement in the crater of the... Where the fireball hit. That's not good. It's like a shifting of movement. You don't see any person or thing in there, but you see the ground is shifting, and there's a little bit of a cascade of light,

[03:04:09] or a little bit of shimmering of some kind, like in the moonlight, coming off of the middle of the crater. Hmm. Okay. So if I'm seeing something weird, okay, that's concerning. I'll probably switch my spells for tomorrow. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And then if there's anything else, knight passes,

[03:04:38] because you guys are safe up in your safety, your little safety blanket. And we heal with our hit dice, right? Yeah. Oh, I don't do that. This time I didn't get fucked up. We're not all so lucky.

[03:05:09] So morning passes. What are you guys doing? Or morning comes. What are you guys doing? Okay. Okay. Whew. Fine here now. How are you? How are you? Yeah. So that happened. Okay. That was awkward. My spells are now completely huge.

[03:05:38] The spider folk creature, the cultist, has been like, through his gag, and he's like, uh-huh, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, we have him now. Yeah. So what's the plan for today? We are going to investigate the ruins? To look for survivors and loot? I really do not recommend going down there. Yeah. That's a really bad idea. I can summon a familiar to control to go down my, like, through it.

[03:06:08] If you want to send, like, a recon team, more power to you. I hope we get the fuck out of here, go back to the Goblin King, turn in the bodies in this asshole, Yeah. and get our giant cannons. Yeah. But, Payday. Payday. It's a good game. The third one's coming out soon. Oh yeah, that too. Bank. Death. Maybe. Probably. Profits.

[03:06:38] Death. We lived just fine yesterday. I barely use spells, honestly. I use like two, three maybe. I didn't tap myself out. That's a surprise. Send the back of you familiar. Yeah. We'll at least look around and see if, if it seems safe, then we'll go down. We can always teleport and dim door out if necessary. That is absolutely true. Can you bring anything, you can bring people with you, right? With your teleport? Yeah.

[03:07:08] You can teleport? Yeah, I can teleport all of us. Oh, well there you go. I think I can teleport like eight willing creatures. Damn. Yeah. That's pretty legit. A full adventuring party plus. Nice. So you guys are going down into the sinkhole or to the crater? Crater first, then sinkhole? Yeah. Okay. The one that's probably safer and then the one that's slightly more dangerous? Slightly? A lot more dangerous. Well,

[03:07:37] nothing else came out of there. Mm-hmm. And we killed all the stuff that came out except for those two Dolgots that got away. It's probably more than just those two anyways. Oh, probably. Okay. Yeah, so you guys go over to the site of the newer crater. And yeah, you guys see at the center so there's a bunch of rubble just along the impact slope down into this little it's probably

[03:08:07] it's pretty shallow all things considered. It's probably only about five, ten feet down to the ground on a kind of concave slope kind of angle. And there's debris and rock and stuff like that all over the place. At the bottom though there's a particularly there's a piece of a large piece of rock that stands out from the rest of the rubble and mud because its color is like the sickly purple sheen to it.

[03:08:37] And it does appear to have some kind of like seems to have some kind of holes in it like it's almost like Swiss cheese or sorry um uh Zalgonian cheese Okay how big is it? Um probably about the size of like probably four or five feet across That's a big rock Mm-hmm Is it magical?

[03:09:07] I don't know Detect magic Is it magical? There's a faint residue of chaos magic There's a faint residue of chaos magic Neat Neat So it's probably not magical itself it was probably just thrown as part of part of the spell then? Probably Okay Okay Okay

[03:09:37] Okay Hmm Hmm What do you think it's made of? What could I roll to determine that? You'd have to get a personal look Okay I'll get a closer look I'm not getting closer look I'm gonna go stand back at the edge of the crater I don't like how you're questioning me so much specifically It's about 20 feet It's about 10 feet down and like probably like 10 feet like down and like 20 feet 20-30 feet

[03:10:07] like to it in this crater The crater's like only about like 60-70 feet across I'll cautiously walk towards it Okay Okay Roll uh roll the X-30 Uh-huh Yeah Uh-huh Dexterity Is that what you were saying? Yeah What'd you think? Okay Uh Let's go I mean I'm asking you because

[03:10:36] you're just so fucking good at this shit Am I? And I trust your opinion and skillet stuff Tick Bardic inspiration You can use it anytime in the next 10 minutes at an I-6 to a skill check or a save or an attack Excellent Thank you I appreciate those appreciate you lying to my face to help me through this matter Uh 12

[03:11:06] but I could use my flash of genius to add which is a perk I got through Artificer that lets me add my intelligence modifier to the roll So That's kind of awesome I could do it three times per day So that's one use So 13 14 15 16 16 Okay

[03:11:35] Um A large two foot sized rock piece of debris Leaps up off the ground and tries to lash out the face The rock does Yes What's it lashing at me with Not the one that's at the center of the crater but A random rock Like earth rock What's it lashing at me with Uh teeth and Oh it's opening up with teeth Yeah It's a mimic Okay Everything here is a

[03:12:06] fucking mimic Um It misses you Yes But then you look around and you start noticing some of the other debris is starting to scuddle in the crater Okay Um So I'm thinking this rock makes mimics from the looks of it Now that you're closer to it um you see that the holes are actually more like gaping openings Oh god From this distance it looks like it might be hollow It's a fucking drop pod

[03:12:37] Um The rocks composition You're kind of in a pan but the rocks composition it's right now it definitely is different rock composition from like any earth like the rock that you've grown up with It's like a purplish like it's like a sickly bruised purple color that you're not familiar with It's a mimic ink This is how they reproduce Kind of yeah Okay But uh yeah you uh don't want to get out of that crater if you don't want to keep getting attacked on mimics I'll just stay here and die

[03:13:07] Okay This is how You guys just watch him get consumed by a swarm of mimics This is fine I'll start rolling d6s No We're just put the loot two ways Wow thanks We didn't even make it to the bank But no yeah I'm leaving Okay Then roll another dexterity To escape Rolled a 19 A 19 Yes

[03:13:36] Plus 2 Okay Um Yeah It's like 5 rocks and like pieces of like shattered timber and stuff that just hop off the ground and like suddenly form fangs or like fanged moths and eyes and like just like leaping at your face and shoulders Love it Dinging them off my shield Yeah basically How many are there? There's a lot of things moving around Are they all small rocks? They're all about

[03:14:05] like anything between like about a foot in size to about 2 or 3 feet Okay About that size And they're all just like leaping like every step you take they'll be watching you Yeah Every step you take like another hop and try to get you I'm worried about just stay here and keep shooting them until they're all gone You want to just like camp out at the crater or just pop mimics until

[03:14:36] they fuck off level up where they die I mean we can I wish I had a hand grenade right now You don't have fireball? No Fireball Is it really worth attacking these though? Like they're little tiny things but They're each worth tasty nuggets of experience Yeah I'm just

[03:15:05] basically thinking like I don't want them like ruin other people's days you know That is true If they spread out from here Yeah Then that could create problems for the nearby villages Yeah What you want to do? And like we came here to What is it in the job description that we came here to do? Just investigate what happened? Yeah Let's figure out what the hell went down and report back So we couldn't leave We have

[03:15:35] accomplished the mission We know what's going on Us doing more is just us getting brownie points or us lining our pockets One of those two Hopefully Yes Okay This is why I said we should get the fuck out of here like three hours You're currently trying to escape this swarm of mimics So I guess initiative to get out of there

[03:16:06] They're going to just start swarming you Our options are either just run away back up onto the ship and let them scurry off into the forest or deal with them I have this terrible feeling that this rock is just going to keep generating mimics out of whatever indefinitely Unless we destroy it And I don't really want to

[03:16:35] fight a crater We're not fighting the crater We're fighting the rock We just fought a house Not yet We just fought a house This is less weird than fighting a house I'm going to say I haven't fought any houses but I have struggled with apartment buildings Alright so what's your initiative Dave? If you're there you can

[03:17:05] try He's currently in the thick of it so he's going to be taking most of this 17 17 I mean if we can get out of here and just cap them You've got to get out of the crater 21 Okay You're 21 You can do Copper is 18 and these creatures are Wow I cannot roll under 10 I cannot

[03:17:35] roll over 10 Alright These guys are going last This one is going last So how far are Copper I don't know were you still on the boat No I came down with They were at the edge of Oh Okay How far is he from me Right next to me Yeah

[03:18:05] I'm going to grab his shirt I'm going to misty step the two of us to him I'm going to grab his shirt and teleport to the bridge of the ship Okay All of you guys roll decks According to me again Yeah I'm good at that 22 No

[03:18:35] No No So does that cancel the No No Okay No No He'll still build a misty step You're just going to have a bunch of mimics on you Why they can't follow me through the teleport No They're going to bite you right before you teleport Oh You're going to try No Actually they're swarmed So Oh no they do attack They sure does They sure

[03:19:05] does Oh So what did you get Oh 18 Okay We actually threw that one For those at home A dice has been flung flung across the room and down the stairs The next time I find it I'm taking a hammer to it And that fucking one Oh Alright To be fair

[03:19:35] I rolled a nat one and that's why I got attacked by them That's true I'm going to say you take four damage as you get nipped by a bunch of mimics There's a pebble on his ass You get through and you pull and your finger is like chomping on your finger Bag that We're going to keep him Yeah The king will like to see that Yeah Okay

[03:20:07] So yeah Next Just put him in the bag of holding It's fine You can put him in your bag of holding Don't throw the bag of holding I have a bag of golding It'll kill him We want them alive Do they breathe? They're an organism Yeah They're alive Oh Okay Stick them in a pocket Okay So you're not going to go check out the sink hole or are you going to check out I

[03:20:40] And then we got attacked So yes I will Well actually Realistically I probably would have done this first Because apparently it takes an hour to summon it Honestly Actually sorry I did most forget While you guys were down by the crater You heard You all also were hearing Actually As you guys get back onto the ship which is right next to the crater You guys all start hearing Return my child or your world shall be consumed

[03:21:09] And it's just kind of It's like coming off the wind and you look down and it's the wind passing through the holes of that central meteor is causing this message to be played on the wind Okay I shall return the call Be more specific Who's your child Says the gagged at her cap cultist that's

[03:21:40] on your ship with you Oh he knows things does he He can't talk because he's dead Seems like he's a little bit more bold I want to hear it from the wind It just keeps repeating Return my child or your word will be consumed Okay let's ungag the asshole Who is the child It's the seed that we took from the god

[03:22:11] So this is your fault Can we speak in a little less metaphor and a little more directly The god He points up and you look up and you look up and he's pointing at the purple moon in the sky Got that part Who's the seed The seed is its child We have it now here so that we can spread the will of Zoriat upon Eberron So like you have it

[03:22:40] My master has it Where Wait so like who's your master Oh No Sorry That's me like not him Obviously Yeah Ancient and noble Delgoth The Corruptor Who lived beneath these lands for eons imprisoned You know when you work for someone called the Corruptor

[03:23:10] That's not a good sign You kind of wonder if you're working on the right side I now Delgoth Sam the Corruptor He He has He's recalled all of us the Quamish Accord to bring his plan back to right Yeah So where's the seed Wouldn't you like to know I would actually You want to try a little persuade on this guy or like an intimidation

[03:23:40] or I'm going to try an intimidation I actually have training in that 8 12 12 or what Intimination Because how are you doing I'm going to take out my little curved blade and stick it right under his chin and demand that he tell me where the seed is You'll be too late You won't be able to find him in the webbed roots of the harrow

[03:24:11] Webbed roots of the harrow You guys could all make me a I would say this is probably a history A history check Yeah Not Like History 4 Not Like Hell No 6 Okay Nature's a 22 History

[03:24:41] is a 23 Okay Yeah Well for Kirkus you're like harrow There's a harrow wood in Thrain And if your memory serves that forest has the highest concentration in all of Corvair and their camps Wow That's generally where they're found Okay So I guess we know where our second

[03:25:11] next stop is So I shall share that with the group Okay Okay Well we gag him So I'm going to mentally tell these guys so he's the servant of Delakir We might be able to take one if it's three of us on just him

[03:25:40] Would a goblin army help? It would have to march across Breland and we don't have time to get them there Also that might spark a war if a goblin army marches across Breland to Thrain Why would you need to go across Breland Is Breland all the way over to here? Breland stretches all the way to the Mourlands That little dotted line between the two mountain ranges that's the border between

[03:26:10] Dargoon and Breland Okay So who peoples Breland Humans generally They're a human nation We're Sharnas the city of lights and towers Do they

[03:26:36] So this is like the Silverflame's capital is Alright I think we're going to split the party You go to Breland Take this asshole Go to the headquarters of Silverflame Rally the army We're going to Dargoon We'll take these two

[03:27:06] dead assholes I'm going to rally the goblin army So you're going to the cathedral the central cathedral of the silver flame and gather a holy army Basically I don't know that we'll have time to march armies all the way there You want to lose We could probably go collect a contingent from a shot

[03:27:34] That was two days You have a ton back I can teleport I can go there and collect eight people and bring them back Our eight best and brightest The B team if you will You said three of us could maybe take one of these creatures Delkir don't work together They are they honestly hate each other So if there

[03:28:04] is one then we only have to deal with one He probably has minions Okay What if we hit Dargoon and pick up a special forces detachment How far is Dargoon Does it matter You can teleport Who's in Dargoon The king of the goblins Fair Okay We can pick up The question is whether or not he will give up his best and brightest to

[03:28:33] back us up on this Also we did just do a job for him and they did just kill a bunch of his people and they are threatening to blow up his planet I do have a reasonably good relationship with him Yes I'm a lot more likely to get troops out of the king of the goblins than I did Drelin Even even you have a good relationship with goblins or at least one That's true He has had good relations Yeah sorry Sorry

[03:29:04] Damn good relations But if I do teleport us there and back You can teleport I can get us I can bring five goblins with us That's better than what we get in a shot I could just also hang out You can teleport to the Godlin King's throne You've been there You can teleport wherever you've been So we take you me and the body

[03:29:34] If it's a place that I've seen before then I can do it pretty much without fail If it's a place I can see I can't fail If it's a place that I'm very familiar with like my bedroom in a shot I cannot fail So we leave copper behind man the ship You me two dead bodies this asshole teleport back you me and six goblins

[03:30:04] go fight a demon lord Yay He's not really a demon lord he's really more of an aberration lord of madness That's not better Can we just call him a demon lord There are demon lords They're also bad They're called overlords They're honestly what sparked the foundation of the silver flame because

[03:30:34] the silver flame is made of the souls of countless dragons and quatsils and celestials that sealed the overlords in prisons beneath Oh hey we could do that Oh yeah I feel like that You guys all have three feathers We've got two left No I got mine back Oh yeah Because apparently that was a good use of it I guess yeah He appreciated your use of it Okay So it's us six

[03:31:04] goblins a quaddle and Rob and Rob fighting a lord of chaos and madness I gotta summon Zandugle He's an infant He's an infant dragon though He's a few months old Yeah He's He might be the size of a horse by now As long as he gets a share of the XP he's gonna level up That's not how age works

[03:31:34] If that was the case you guys would be age Especially me You'd have like a whole beard I still have a wood beard It would be like birch It'd be white Which is funny because that's actually a monster friend that a buddy of mine played in a campaign for Monster of the Child's Things is like wood beard and then there's pine beard and then beard beard all like puppets like pirate puppets

[03:32:04] so they were all named something beard Yeah of course Alright so is this the plan I guess so What else are we gonna do So basically we're not gonna bother checking out this place here We don't have time we don't have resources that's a trap Also while you're doing your thing I can just send a familiar down there and check it out Do that then Yeah So you go down there That's fair

[03:32:33] I'm sending a range on range on It's a sending spell there isn't Okay So yeah the familiar what is the familiar It's whatever whatever animal I want it to be What do you want it to be Probably a bird of some kind And so does it talk to you I could basically use my action or bonus action or whatever to control it and it goes on its own initiative it doesn't matter in this case I could basically just see through its eyes and hear through its ears

[03:33:14] That's what I don't want to left as it was climbing up and stuff You get down So it climbed up Yeah it climbed It formed like legs and started climbing up And you get down and there's like pools of water like filling up because of the leaks from the river and other like bits of infrastructure kind of leaking in How deep is the hole now that I'm down there Now that you're down here it's like two three hundred feet below the ground Probably seems a little bigger too because I'm a little bird Yeah

[03:33:43] You also see you see some signs of like scaffolding from like old mine shafts like that just like fall into the pit into the I think so they weren't kidding You find where those tunnels were that they wanted you to clear out originally And then you get farther down to the base of the where like the water and the collapses finally happened and it becomes a little bit more like stone work and stuff And it looks like there was at one point down here through some of the debris you see poking through massive

[03:34:13] cyclopean stone work like some kind of structure was built down here in the darkness and you see a ruptured vault door in one of the walls and you see a bunch of markings on it that have that they're just kind of fading out in and out very weakly That's the vault number 76

[03:34:42] They are in a gobbler dialect and a dwarven dialect I do have comprehend languages Okay You see here I'm assuming I can do that through the familiar You cast it on yourself and then as you're seeing through the familiar you can understand what you're reading familiar has no idea but you do You're piloting a drone Yeah

[03:35:12] basically You see along the rim of the framework of the vaulted door you see a bunch of binding spell runes and stuff all ancient dwarves by the looks of it but then the markings that are on the walls are almost like graffiti and such and it's basically the equivalent of here lies what do I call him Dolgroth

[03:35:43] It's his name now That's fair It looked like you were looking it up before Did you not look it up? No I thought I'd given him a name but I hadn't actually given him a name so I'm going to actually write that down Dolgroth Dolgroth Scion of the Delkir Leader of the Quamish Accords Okay He's a Scion of the Delkir So he's not a full Delkir We could take him Oh super easy I mean it's still

[03:36:13] terrifying but yeah Have you noticed how little terrifies me? Fair Although you were pretty scared when you thought it was a Delkir Yeah It's like a full blown dog here That's why I say little terrifying But you also see down here kind of you're having the bird look around as well and you see actually there's it seems like you may have found what caused this the sinkhole there was some kind

[03:36:43] of ritual explosion in the center not near the vault door the vault door doesn't look like it was blasted through open it looks like it was blasted open from the inside out but there's an epicenter explosion around what looks like a blood sacrifice of some kind there's tons of bodies dwarf and goblin down here and there looks like an epicenter

[03:37:12] where something roll an arcana 13 it looks like they opened up some kind of a gate like a very fast and loose unstable portal to somewhere and whatever it was that they were summoning using this portal to summon it

[03:37:42] was big and whatever it is it's no longer here it's as big as a house even there's definitely signs of some kind of a summoning ritual in blood and there's an explosion probably from the portal because based on this it's probably an unstable portal of some kind ruptured the subterranean structure here and that's what caused the sinkhole and then the sinkhole caused the vault to open

[03:38:11] that was open before yeah it's almost like it would have been your main task if you taken that job a couple months ago yeah so it sounds like there were cultists down here that we would have found and they were preparing some blood ritual yeah little did we know that was gonna wind up being a way bigger problem later yeah I'm sorry is that like doing like lived in campaigns so if you guys don't take something I tweak it and have it

[03:38:41] like expand on itself that's the way it should be it's not like the quest is just gonna sit there forever like a video game three people I know you can only do one thing at a time but I'm gonna give you five things to do and whatever ones you don't do there will be consequences yeah that's life yeah pretty much I know I'm just pointing it out I'm not I'm not you're saying it with an air of snark you're saying it with an air of snark that's making me like you hate this like no no this is the way this is the way um yeah so that's uh

[03:39:11] that's what you find out down there otherwise like oh and you do actually see the remnants of various other buildings that fell down in like this far I was about halfway up you let her yeah uh you do see a dwarven bank like like the front of it okay partial part all right we do that first yeah we'll come back to that we'll come back to that I mean this isn't going in worse comes to worse you guys have

[03:39:43] yeah then you're fine this isn't going anywhere the damage here's already done yeah you took yeah you don't see any other like buildings moving around okay is the bank damaged or uh well I mean the banks I understand it's under the water literally in the embankment like in the wall um it's an embanked bank yeah yeah it's an embedded bank it's basically but it's not it's just it's not moving anywhere it's not falling any further if that's right

[03:40:13] those dwarves build their banks strong but uh yeah okay well good to know and I guess we're off to the uh goblin king I probably would have told you that when you guys got back because it takes me an hour to summon him and then to go down there so in that time you guys teleported to the throne directly into the throne guards like like scimitar or like monsters and

[03:40:41] corpses at our feet yeah your majesty big fucking problem I'm holding up yeah yeah you're just holding him up like yeah by the scruff of his neck yeah and he's just like dragging him along by his ear he doesn't have an ear it's an inner cat he's just like a spider man who's just just just just making him funny just let me happen just let me happen I was making him into a librarian yeah

[03:41:11] but yeah you probably come out and then like all like Captain King Haruk is just like looking at you kind of stunned because he was like in the middle of like some kind other stuff and it's like guards down I see you've got my message I've got your message and I've found out your problem yes what are those dolgons aberrations terrible creatures swarms of them

[03:41:40] they've turned your people into horrors this is what happens this is the fate of reclore this is the fate of reclore these cultists I gesture to my spider fellow brought down your city with blood magic they have the seed of a god sitting in the harrow forest yeah see

[03:42:06] we can't I can't send any men packed across our borders without it seeming like a like an act of war don't worry it's not to be your troops I need six men your best no badges no name tags no faces we'll cut them off ourselves they all have to be slender men

[03:42:36] those are cheeselings whatever six guys give me your best we'll go in light and quiet get it done you would do this for for darkness I would do this for the planet it's gonna kill everyone it's gonna kill everybody everyone roll roll persuasion because like this is a pretty heavy figure take advantage or no take a die six I feel like you're at advantage too because I'm literally telling the truth yeah I know yeah that's true

[03:43:05] take advantage and die six because I also like yeah because like he he's sitting on the mission and like you're but you're laying down a bunch of stuff on and I've got dead bodies at my feet and I got the cultist yeah you have a lot of fruit here so uh and a paladin of the silver flame kill him now just like arrows 18 5 23 23 persuasion 23 yeah okay he's like you should have you should

[03:43:35] have these men I need this to be quiet we can't let the other make deal with this I'm trusting you if you do this you will have far more than what we have agreed on I'm counting on it so who does he give me uh so yeah he gives you a bunch of hobgoblins he gives you three hobgoblins and three city goblins um

[03:44:05] that are his best man okay so basically three sneaks and three sneakers and uh and the uh and three uh of his like five-sided warriors yeah alright everybody hold hands give him a circle hold hands and we're gone hold on before I go this one torture him I need as much information as you can possibly get trust me he will be I take out my earpiece I throw it to him oh we want the corpse though

[03:44:35] uh very well there might not be a lot left after after we're done with them but it's fine all the bits and pieces it's fine alright I need you to get as much information as much as much as possible we have a wizard in our party oh I understand material proponents right yeah okay so yeah you leave that poor well not that poor bastard that poor bastard to the to the mercy and torture

[03:45:04] of Haruk he's had a bad day he's about to have a way worse day way worse okay so then we total port back to the ship suddenly there are now Fintan Kriklus and now three city goblins and three hog goblins on the sky cabin and were you moving the ship sky cabin or are you guys still just above the sink hole just hovered okay so yeah they see this thing

[03:45:34] oh my like they're just like whoa is that an apartment sized mimic it was okay so how long is it going to take us to get to this forest so with that sky coat cab it's probably going to be about three days okay good I need the time to rest and went from here to there in three days so it should be like probably two days to there how long did it take you guys to teleport there talk to him and teleport back about 90

[03:46:03] seconds 10 minutes it was probably more about 10 minutes oh okay yeah we had to have a brief conversation yeah so you guys left came back with all that before I even finished summoning the familiar long before I finished doing that so you guys are oh

[03:46:34] while you were doing well so as you guys are getting back I guess head north I need words coppers yeah copper can you roll me a wisdom save 14 okay you begin experiencing like a mild headache which is odd because you're a robot or you're a magic robot

[03:47:05] but that buzzing sound like the buzzing of insects is coming again in your head and you're you're but I'm awake this time yeah and it's harder to think and you're getting it's that it's your you're hearing again it's it's it's your drill sergeant shouting your name like like like remember it's like copper and it gets quieter and like looking around and I'm not

[03:47:35] you're not seeing anything and then the buzzing and the buzzing like begins fading after the uh after his echoing voice kind of like fades out again anybody else hear that you hear what there's a buzzing and someone calling my name is that either of you no no okay is your warforged okay no warforged is okay half of them shut down randomly that's really insensitive he's just staring

[03:48:05] he's like right there he's a person don't worry brofest that is extremely rude you do not randomly shut down I'm gonna go over there and randomly shut down and talk about what just happened to me and when I come back you did randomly shut down when you guys were in the morning you did shut down like mysteriously that's true and Tyler's randomly shut down

[03:48:34] he hasn't turned back on he started randomly shut down and then randomly turned on and then shut down again it is true he's just been shut down in the bag of holding forever a chunk of the warforged that I've worked with have randomly shut down I mean none of the ones in town have shut down are you sure am I sure do I know that are you in town all the time have you ever seen a wakeful like warforged and a sleeping warforged at the same time

[03:49:05] and I mean I'm not always there and when I am there I still spend half my time there sleeping that's true the other half pregnant goblin wow well or that other girl at that uh or that that festival the one I got pregnant still a goblin oh yeah is it a shifter no I can't remember she might have been I don't recall I don't remember it doesn't matter I have to

[03:49:35] have to procreate yeah so you have a new character so you have your future character yeah but also because I am the last living member of the line that currently carries this quarry of the Polaris yeah so it's actually kind of really funny now that I think about it because you named your character like Fintan Polaris Polaris is the name of the spirit creature thing that is bound to uh uh Jesse Fade in control and your

[03:50:05] your your cholesterol thing is kind of like Polaris in that yeah because it doesn't talk to her but it like emotes things psychically is that intentional no I know for a fact that was not intentional but it's funny that that's like what happened like the coincidence thing yeah yeah so um so I guess you guys are taking the sky cabin going north yep yep once I've done my scouting run and all that yep yep uh and actually I think that's where we're gonna call it for tonight

[03:50:35] as you guys begin heading north toward the uh Dargun Reland uh border okay so if this was to adventure I guess the next one is to war at this point because that's basically what we're doing well no no it's not to war necessarily it's to battle because it's a battle event because it would have been to war if you were marching yeah because that would have sparked another war we're potentially sam fishering this guy yeah you're you know you are you're doing you're normandy because okay commander shepherd

[03:51:04] like they couldn't take they couldn't send an entire fleet into the terminus systems but they could send shepherd and the normandy uh in to bill uh we want bill pilot bill's gonna be your yeah we should not be piloting this damn thing right um we should get a big festival

[03:51:33] the uh winged kobold sorceress yeah might not be bad to have on the ship how big a single creature can you teleport what are you talking about bringing fred freddie the the titan yeah that's not gonna make the skycar collapse yeah no no you teleport him directly into the target oh i see so we find

[03:52:03] the enemy we send him back grab the titan teleports back here titan against delgir made mud work i don't know if i don't know if there's a size restriction on it though there has to be that means you can literally teleport anything there could be um transports you and up to eight willing creatures of your choice that you can see within range that i can see within range we don't have to hold hands no

[03:52:33] you just do that because it's fun or a single object that you can see within range uh take it you get that for next session to a destination you select if you target an object it must be able to fit entirely inside a 10 foot cube if you target an object there's not specified creatures because you can have eight willing creatures that will not fit in 10 foot cube

[03:53:02] at this point you could touch you could see a kraken and teleport it into the sun if you were there if he's willing if he's willing oh yeah willing creatures that's the thing okay the destination you choose must be known to you and it must be on the same plane of existence as you your familiarity with the destination determines whether you arrive there successfully if i try to teleport something to the surface of the sun it's not a location i'm familiar with no it is most likely to

[03:53:32] fail you see it all the time that's true not specifically the surface but yeah well i mean you do but i would i would honestly go so far as to say no i couldn't do it because that like each eight willing creatures i wouldn't let any of the eight willing creatures any individual of the eight willing creatures be larger than a 10 foot cube so that would mean that they

[03:54:02] would have to be a large size or smaller yeah personally that's the call that i would make but rules as written if you want you could do it the way that um what's it called it's a spell that i recently learned also uh that does bring up the uh the alternative question is that that warforged colossus is it actually a person or is it an

[03:54:32] object in this case i think it is kind of an object because it's not yeah here's the thing medium-sized warforges have full sentence yeah warforged titans are kind of like primitive like half sapient it's like an ai-assisted yeah it's they're more like a dumb ai i understand this is why i is one of the reasons why i bring it up because it's also chris yeah and he loves robots yeah but i would say in this case like they are they were designed

[03:55:01] like for a rudimentary intelligence to be like controlled by either a one or two pilots on their shoulders now okay what if we had a dragon of a villain's eyes with int through the roof with what intelligence through the roof if it's smart as fuck but the same size you let it go at that point you just ask the dragon to teleport yeah at that point the dragon can teleport himself he's just like hold my beer

[03:55:34] that's like asking the quetzel hey you might have to teleport you even work yeah it's like it's like an age like asking it's like cas it's like cas castiel like yeah yeah it's like dean like that or sam's like hey i got this summoning portal this teleportation circle casio can you come in here i need to go somewhere it's like sam

[03:56:04] but i mean like i could i could bring us our steel horses yeah yeah if we need mounts um you have roche and her like seven or eight dire wolves oh right yeah essentially dire wolf and her her pack um though i couldn't bring all of them no but you could take you could bring roche yeah i could literally

[03:56:33] like we've got two days which means that i can do this twice you do a lot highway reinforcements how many people can the skycar carry well that's the other thing you guys are now starting to form a small company like somebody umbrella is going to notice a group that's larger than like a all they're seeing is a skycar flying around with a ton of like goblins isn't there an underground like an inside lower below decks that's the thing

[03:57:03] skycams don't actually have a bottom compartment it's all deck visibility visibility this is why i asked you haven't installed it yet no i have the invisibility spell okay it's probably about 10 feet wide and 30 feet long what is the skycap yeah so probably but it's one floor there's no lower decks yeah so probably the width of that's from here to the wall that's what it looks like into the in that image

[03:57:32] that's what a skycap your skycap effectively is because it's closer so like like it's got like a little like space in there like it's an enclosed area for like the cat the driver and so that maybe like yeah one two people and then on the outside it's like so we can probably pack like uncomfortably 20 people on this yeah it might be sad a little bit the magic might be going over time but we bring

[03:58:02] specifically warforges i could put them in my bags of hold that is the stealthiest way to bring them in too that's true you can pull out the bag of folding pokeball go warforge swarm i choose you swarm forge i choose you 50 000 tiny warforges yeah magic got all fucked up and he didn't unshrink whoops

[03:58:32] but now they use swarm rules oh man still do just as much damage oh shit yeah so i guess that's what you guys are going to be planning for next week yeah yeah uh we have three stealthy goblins and three warrior hob goblins yeah so i'll break that down actually i think the monster manual actually has four hob goblins

[03:59:03] i don't have a monster manual okay now be forewarned um i will be i will be watching the performance of these six goblins and how well they do no no because if i try to assassinate that king later and i come up against targets harder than these guys i'm gonna be real pissed fair um so so we got three what did we get three hob goblins and three

[03:59:32] all of which are supposed to be hot shit i think that would be yeah that would make sense to me yeah because he probably wouldn't he's probably one of those himself yeah that's yeah yeah and i gotta see much of many different droplets yeah it's almost certain
