(Pathfinder 1e): Dat World! At Myth's End - Episode 2: The Howling Tower

[00:00:00] The people of Myths End remember the howling that night, the night the local magus, Ignatius the Illustrious, disappeared. Everyone heard of the strange cacophonic howling across the township, but only Mildred Miller, a girl of nine, heard more than random noises.

[00:00:22] She heard whispers beneath the noise, a deep old voice whispering deep old words, words that scared the child. While she would not show it for the first time in her young life, she was truly afraid of them.

[00:00:42] What scared her was while she could not understand the words, they were etched into her mind, crawling in and nesting there for her to recall them to someone. It's not this world, it's that world, that. This is, this is, this is, this is. Two, seven, six, eight, six, two.

[00:01:13] Hello, we're playing Mythoterica. Mythoterica. No, we're playing At Myths End. We're down a person, but let's go around the table anyway and see who is here. So I am Chris, GM, and to my right is Dave. I am playing Waylon Winchester, the gunslinger, as he should be. It is his birthright. Yeah, exactly. It's his birthright to be so. Yep.

[00:01:40] He is a, almost a teeth like a fetchling. He worked in the MIB, essentially, back on Earth. And through some of their testing, he got exposed to Shadow, which turned him into what he is. And through shenanigans of researching the Winchester house, he ended up in Myths End. Cool. As a... Yeah, and you hooked up, it's been 11, 12 years. Something like that, yes. And you have a child. Yes.

[00:02:10] And I am... Doctor Strange. Doctor Fate. Doctor Strange Fate. Doctor who? No. Dolph Zarr-Robot. Played by Aaron. Well, I was gonna go with, and I'm Aaron, I'm playing Mortimer Grimm. Um... Yeah. Yeah, let's go with that. No. Alright, Mortimer Grimm, new character. Alright, I guess, 20th level. I'll just get the Reaper stats.

[00:02:39] You're just gonna play a monster. No classes or anything, just a monster. It's fair. Probably level 20. I think actually one of these books has the Reaper. The seasons don't fear. No. No. No to the wind, no the sun, or the rain. But you could be like they are. Come on, baby! No. Anyway. This entire recording just becomes all musical now. Musical episode. Yeah, that's the session where we... Yeah, that's the session where there's like a spell of musical. It affects everything.

[00:03:08] Also, in regards to fetchings, I researched them a little bit. Apparently their skin tone can go from like, as black as that cup, to as white as this paper. Oh. Like, all in monochromatic. Yeah, palette, as long as they're monochromatic. Yeah. So like... And then their eyes are yellow, usually golden or like a kind of a brilliant color of some kind? Yeah, they have glowing eyes. Common color is yellow, but there's some that are blue and some are green. Yeah. I'm going yellow just because it's the common one. It's not because it's my favorite color.

[00:03:38] Yeah, Carden really not. Well, it makes sense too because he's like, potentially using like, he's using firepower. Yeah. You know, guns. Oh, grouch. Fair enough. So. And yeah, we're down. Unfortunately, the Nephilim fellow, Chris, we're played by Chris, will be quieter than he was before. Yeah, than he was before. Are you going to be playing him potentially? Or... I think I have a character sheet. Sure. So... Well, he was from this town originally.

[00:04:07] Yeah, he's probably from this town, so he might actually be catching up, like go and catch up while you guys do the real thing. Find his old house and rebuild it. Yeah, he's mysterious. Actually, I'll say that he could be mysteriously absent as he like, is doing his... he was kind of doing his own thing, like for reasons, so... And stuff. Alright, so yeah, I'll say that. But first, I need everybody to roll me a perception check. As I believe we left off, you guys were sleeping for the night in the inn. Perceptical check. 20. 20?

[00:04:36] Not a natural 20. Total of 20. 16. 16? Yes. Okay, so you're sleeping in your house, so your actual residence. He's sleeping in the inn. Conspire plays. You are kind of woken up a little bit. You're woken up kind of just like, you think it's morning.

[00:04:58] And you look outside and it's still night time, but there's a faint glow illuminating over the town. Like an eerie light, almost like a kind of... the kind of light you'd see in like a... if there's a light source on water in a cave. Like causing that kind of weird fluctuation, that kind of weird pattern in the lighting. And it only lasts for like maybe five minutes.

[00:05:26] And there's like a slight thrum to everything. Like barely noticeable. Detect magic. You go blind. You are forever blind. That's not right. You... There's magic. There's magic afoot. Okay. Or at least some kind of energy afoot. But you can't really... It's... You're not sure what it is. But there's definitely some kind of energy pattern enveloping the entire town.

[00:05:56] What school of magic? Give me a second one. I'll add a couple schools. Because... Because I can with study sense the strength and... Roll our knowledge arcana. I guess. You're really going to make me roll it? Yes. Okay, so... Well, mainly I just need to... I mean, so quickly check this. Oh, this is called a time waster. Plus 20...

[00:06:27] Comes to 29. 29? Okay. Yes. He is a mate. He is... He is the most prolific frontier wizard for a reason. For a reason. Yeah. He is a wizard, Harry. Ten ranks, plus five intelligence. Plus three for having anything traded in. And a two-miss mod. You must stay here. You stay between us. And you can have attention from both people at the same time. Yeah.

[00:06:57] All right, fuck it. I can't think of it. So, um... I think it's... It would be evocation. Um... What would be... Um... Like, things to do with time travel or dimension... Or dimdor. What's dimdor? Okay, this would be conjuration. Conjuration. Okay. Yeah, it's given off the conjuration school. So, very strong conjuration. Yeah, but like... Yeah, just enveloping everything. Like, um...

[00:07:26] And, uh... Yeah, so that's kind of what you get for about five minutes. It happens. Um... And you think it's probably about three o'clock in the morning? Okay. Um... And, uh... You also kind of... You've kind of already... You're used to it. You made me. Yeah, sorry. I'm trying to remember your name. Waylon. Waylon, you're sleeping. I wore the wrong shirt. I thought I was playing esoteric. You're faintly like, aware of it. Like, when you...

[00:07:55] Like, it's kind of like the first rays of sun kind of like hitting you in the face. Mm-hmm. And you're like, ugh. You just roll over. Like, you know what it is. Yeah. Okay. And you just roll over. But I don't need to acknowledge it or anything. Exactly, yeah. Because it's common. Yeah, you roll over and cuddle with your wife or something. Okay. Um... Did we ever give your wife a name? That was one of those things I was supposed to do over the week. Yeah. Yeah. But I didn't just like put it off my deed sheet. It was her original name. Remember, she did change her... Leah had to legally change her name. Was it like Wendy or something?

[00:08:23] No, it had to be an A because... No, no, no, no. It was originally an A because that's what her... Like, who she was... Like, who her parents were, were the Alexandrias. Yeah. But... Because of the alliteration law. Yeah, because of the alliteration law. Literation law. The alliteration law. You... Like, once she married you, she had to take on... A W name. A W name. A W name, yeah. Just can Google some W name joke. Wanda? Yeah, Wanda. Okay, anyways, it's not really that important. No, either. At the moment, anyway. Okay. But yeah, you wake up...

[00:08:52] No, yeah, do you just go back to bed, Balthazar? Or... After a few... Like, it doesn't... Nothing seems to happen. You don't hear anything. How awake am I? Um... I'd say you... It was kind of... You were kind of groggy. Um... But you're not, like, fully awake. So you can go back to bed if you want. Alright, I'll go back to bed. Okay. Um... Like, it really didn't wake you up, wake you up. It was really just... It was an... It was... You thought it was morning and suddenly it was a false morning.

[00:09:22] Um... So you wake up. Um... You go down. Um... Your Nephilim... Uh... Nephilim handler... Um... Is oddly absent. As you are getting breakfast and whatnot. Um... You go check on his... In his room and he's not there. Um... Uh... You ask, uh... Sarah at, uh... At the bar and she says that he left a little bit earlier, uh... Before you. Uh...

[00:09:52] Said he had some important business. Okay. Well... Guess I'll have to do this on my own then. Uh... Uh... And then you walk out the door of the inn and... Oh, there's your friend, uh... Or your new friend, uh... Acquaintance. Uh... Acquaintance, uh... Even, uh... Wayland. Uh... Coming down the street. Yeah, smithers. It's Wayland, but morning. Um... So yeah.

[00:10:23] Sorry. Just need two seconds here. You got a new spell book? Hmm? Is that a new spell book? Yeah. Yeah, I'm kind of using it for, um... Uh... Ideas for Valhazar. Gotcha. I like it. Different things that he wants to work on. So... For the audience at home, it's a leather-bound, uh... Pad of paper with, uh... Like a... Uh... Like ringed... A binder almost, kind of like binder rings kind of in it. Yeah, but it's a very small book. It's almost more like a date book. Yeah.

[00:10:54] But yeah, so, um... You, uh... You guys convene, uh... Out in the, um... The street. Uh... It is... Sorry. I'm looking up girls' names beginning with W, and one of them is Wayland. Just W-A-Y-L-I-N. Wayland, Wayland. No. That just seems bad. Yeah, a little weird. Sorry. Oh, there's another one. Way... Winifred Winchester? There's Way... Winifred Winchester?

[00:11:22] There's Wayland with W-A-Y-L-Y-N. There's two of them. Ooh. Wayland. Wayland, yep. Um, but anyway, uh, you, um... Yeah, so you're... I think you guys were planning on going to the tower to investigate, um, the... Indeed, we were going to... The disappearance of Ignatius? ...liberate my tower, I mean... Investigate the tower. Ignatius' tower. Um, for the time being, at least in town, like central, uh, there hasn't been any confirmed, uh, deaths today, like this morning.

[00:11:52] Well, that's good. Yeah. Um, and, uh, so yeah, you guys kind of trudge out, um, to the, uh, the west of town. Um, through the west... down, uh, out the western, uh, across the western bridge. Um, uh, you see this, like, like, again, you pass this place. It looks like this town's, based on, like, as you've been walking through town, it kind of looks like this town is, like, has a moat around it, but you look down at the, the river, at the water, and it got, it has a current.

[00:12:21] So maybe it's some kind of just, like, maybe the river does, like, go off away from the, the town at some point? Perhaps. Yeah. Probably not. It's probably just a circle river. Perhaps. Um, it's a common occurrence. Yeah. Clearly. In that world. Yeah. Uh, and so you, uh, trudge out, um, uh, through some farm fields, uh, and you're down some roads toward, uh, the outskirts. Over the meadow and through the works. Basically, yeah, kind of, yeah.

[00:12:50] As the, um, the wizard's tower is near the edge, near the farther edge of the town, of the towns, um, or the township. Uh, and you come to it. Uh, it is a large, um, looks like it is a four-story tower, uh, rather medieval, but also a bit stylized. Like, it's got the, the, the, the regular, like, um, cylindrical tower, um, base, um, of,

[00:13:19] uh, kind of just normal granites or, like, stones, probably what was it, like, the local stones of the, uh, like, from the field, farm fields around here. Um, and, uh, it has a house, kind of like, the top is kind of like more of a house, like a square house on top of the, everything, with stone supports and whatnot. Okay. Um, there is a window on the third floor? Yes, on the third floor. Um, or what looks like the third floor.

[00:13:46] Um, and, uh, it is, uh, facing the, um, the sun, uh, as it kind of comes over the, um, uh, over the fields. Um, and, uh, otherwise the door is just a locked, regular-looking kind of door. Um. Is there anything between the ground floor and the third floor window that could be poor? No, it's actually all, well, it's just, it's rough-hewn stone. Yeah. Um, actually, um, you guys could roll me, you guys could roll me, no, there's some, there's

[00:14:15] a wood pile, but it's not that high. Get an axe to start making sheds, just so we can stand on it. Nice. Um, I will ask you guys to roll me a perception check, as you guys are getting approaching. Beginning approaching? Yeah. Beginning approach. 25. 25. Okay. 26. Cool. Um, you guys, yeah, so the, like I said, the, uh, the stonework of the, the tower itself is, looks fairly, like, it's dark, gray granite.

[00:14:45] Um, but you also notice that near the base, like, where the grass kind of, or all the weeds and grass kind of, like, are, uh, like, needed. Um, there's some odd white stone, uh, at the very base, like, in the ground, like the base stones are different, are noticeably different than the stones that, of the actual tower. It's a foundation. Yeah. Like, but it was, it is a definite different stonework, um, than the rest of the, of the

[00:15:15] tower. Like. Not a natural stone for here. Yeah. Yeah. It's an odd looking stone. You've looked at, you look at it and you've not really ever noticed that kind of stone. Okay. Um, has a bit of a sheen to it. Because immediately as I think about this, I'm thinking about modern houses where there's the, the different foundation. Yeah. Like the rock, like the, the rest of the, the composition of the tower itself is like rough human rock, like probably pulled from those farm fields that you're around. Uh, and, and like mortar. Does it scream yabba dabba do? No.

[00:15:44] So it's not bedrock. No. Okay. Good to know. Um, but it, the stone is a lot smoother and a lot paler than the stone that you're used to in the town. Okay. Um, but that's the only, like there's nothing like otherwise weird about it. It's just, that's something noticeable. Okay. Um, and, uh, you see, and yeah, it's just a normal door, like wooden, uh, standard wooden door. Okay. It is locked though. Hence why no one's gone in to investigate.

[00:16:16] I will shake the handle slightly more vigorously. Um, roll a, um, uh, vigorous shaking check. No. Do you have? Knowledge Arcana. Oh look, 28. There is definitely some kind of a ward on the door. As you are like shaking, you kind of get the buzz of some kind of energy. Okay. Um, I'm gonna cast knock. Okay.

[00:16:44] It should suppress any arcane block that's on it. Yeah. I thought you were being silly. I was like, I'm gonna cast a spell. No. Just not. No, it's actually a spell. Yeah, okay. It's a second level spell and unlock stores. Oh, okay. Second level? Yeah. Okay. Um, yeah, no, it, um, there's a bit of resistance initially, but it opens up. Okay. Um, and you go inside and at the ground level is a fairly empty chamber, um, but with living comp, basic living accommodations and a storeroom.

[00:17:14] Um, the sort of, kind of a sort of a meeting area slash prep room, um, for out of doors affairs. Uh, a staircase, uh, hugs the wall, uh, going up and below the top platform. Um, oh no, sorry. Uh, go, like this, there's a, a stone staircase, no wooden staircase going up along, hugging the wall, um, spiraling. Looks like it'll probably basically go all the way up to the tower, uh, and into any, the, uh, the following floors.

[00:17:43] Uh, but there's also at the base, so where it goes disappears, basically the staircase, but directly below it onto the floor is a, probably about a two man, uh, slightly elevated circle, circular platform. Um, and in the middle of the room itself is a table, but behind that is this raised platform. Okay. Almost looks like it could be a teleportation area or something.

[00:18:10] Uh, you are definitely picking up, like, without even, like, rolling anything, you are definitely picking up, uh, ambient magic, like, hot spots here and there. Okay. Um, and yeah, that's the ground floor, basically. Uh, if you open the, uh, there's two rooms, there's two doors on the side, um, that like, have been, like, it, walls have been put in, and they're just basically storerooms. I think there, there'll probably be a bunk in one of them, even. Is the place dirty and dusty, or? Um, yeah, it's, it's definitely not been cleaned in probably about three or four weeks.

[00:18:39] Are there any, like, noticeable footprints other than our own from walking in? Um, nope. Okay. Okay. It is quiet, very quiet. It's quiet. Too quiet. Be careful, it's a trap! Probably. Okay, well I'm going to go investigate the raised platform. Okay. Uh, how are you going to be investigating? Well, I'm going to, uh, check around.

[00:19:02] No, no, I'm going to look at it first, examine it, look for any, um, writings or sigils or... It is a very smooth, pale stone. Um, not unlike the stone you saw outside of the base. Uh, there is no markings as far as you can tell. Detect magic. There is a residual signature of magic, but it is dormant.

[00:19:36] Do you find anything over there, Mr. Grand Wizard? I don't know. I'm going to step on it. Okay. You step on it, and... Rock's full, you die. Nothing happens. Oh. You jump a couple times, it seems firm, not moving anywhere. It's, like, solid, but nothing happens when you step on it. Okay. Then I will step off of it. Okay. The house, the place burns in flames! Yeah. No. No.

[00:20:06] It's not that quest, it's not that one quest. Behold my power! It's not that quest from, uh, from Secret World Legends where we do the thing and then we get to run as the fire starts enveloping the floor. Yeah, that's so cool. Um, are there any, um, is there any paperwork around that I can look for? Not in here. Um, it's mainly, again, like, kind of a kitchen area, a, uh, a meeting table or, like, dinner table or, like, food eating table kind of thing and some cabinets and some storerooms and that's about it. On the, on the first floor. Okay.

[00:20:36] This is just the first floor. This is, really... How many stories did it look like it was from the outside? It looked about four stories, including the, the, uh, the house on the top. Or the, yeah, relatively size. Penthouse? Yeah, basically the penthouse. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Uh, you predict at least three circular levels before you go down, go, go up into the, the house. Okay. Based on the size. And I guess, uh, I will attempt the stairs. Okay.

[00:21:04] Uh, you go up the, the, to the second level. Um, it really just looks like, uh, a large open area storage room, uh, with a lab space for several fields of arcane and occult practices. Um, there's runes and sigils on the ground, but they seem more like safety precautions or tests. How, how, uh, what's the diameter? Um, I, I'd give it probably about 20, 30 feet across. Okay. Um.

[00:21:34] Diameter, 20, 30 feet? No, radius is 20, 30 feet. No, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a substantial tower. Actually, would that be, would it be, should it be 20, 30 feet in diameter or radius? Well, we're obviously gonna choose the bigger one. Why are you asking us? I mean, no, I mean, maybe not. Um, like I'd say probably the size, like from where you're, the end of the, like where your, uh, where your bathroom is there to probably the end of the table. That's the width of the entire room? That would be the width of the entire room. That's like 30 feet.

[00:22:04] Okay. That's 30 feet? Then that's 30. That's, that's the diameter. Yeah. That's the diameter. Yeah. Okay. It's 30 feet. Sorry. Yeah. But that's a circular chamber. It's still pretty big. Yeah. And it seems like the, the, um, the, the base kind of, there's a slight incline, but otherwise it's, it's pretty straight. So it's gonna be basically the same size, um, or same size of room every floor. Okay. Until the house, which is slightly over the, the, um. It's slightly wider than the tower. Yeah.

[00:22:33] Before I head up, I'm gonna check the door. Yep. Does it lock normally? Or? It's just a regular iron, at times, you probably made this door, uh, or no, you'd probably sell these kind of iron doors or whatever, the blacksmith, uh, like your neighbor or something that kind of thing. But like me closing it normally, I can open it again? Yeah. Okay. I'm just like, I want to physically check that because it was magical before. Yeah. Okay. Uh, an arcane lock is, um, um, consumable. It's an enhancement thing.

[00:23:00] It's actually permanent, but it basically just, uh, uh, enhances, it either enhances the locking mechanism on a preexisting lock or, uh, it creates a enhanced lock. Okay. But it's still just a mundane lock that is better quality. Yeah. Okay, cool. Um, yeah. And again, the second floor, yeah.

[00:23:24] Again, uh, spell circles, uh, actually, um, knowledge arcana again, if you want to know some stuff or knowledge of cult or something like that. Oh, I got all the arcanas. Yeah. Uh, so that'll be a 37. That sir, one of the circles, it's basically a, um, like kind of a concentric circles of different types, um, including a key of Solomon sigil up on the floor, on the ceiling and the floor.

[00:23:50] Um, but also cabinets, um, and storage, uh, like containers of bottles of things and other, uh, cult memorabilia. Okay. Okay. Okay. And again, a work, almost like a, like a tool, a tool table, um, or work table with a bunch of arcane materials. Okay. I'm gonna call out Ignatius' name just to see if he's home. Quiet. Okay. Like echo, the name Ignatius echoes.

[00:24:19] Um, I'm gonna give a search check or I guess a perception. Yep. I find all the things on this floor. Yeah, um, again, it's, it's a, it's a mage's, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a hedge mazes, or hedge wizards, um, hedge mazes. It's a hedge mage. Oh no, it's a hedge wizards, um, uh, study room for, but like practical study room. Like where they would, you, you, it, it's very similar. It's an arcade lab.

[00:24:47] Yeah, it's kind of like an, um, not amateur, but, um, basically an independent person's version of what you'd probably experience in school. In some of the mage towers, um, of the, uh, school for works, uh, for, uh, like, testing out spells and stuff. Or trying out artifacts and stuff. Would there be any sort of like, um, clay around here? Cause I almost wanna... Clay? Like, I'm trying to think of a way to fabricate a lock to this place in case we need it in the future.

[00:25:14] Oh, um, you can roll a percentile. Uh, you're still down on the ground floor? Yeah, currently. Okay, yeah. I have arcane lock prepared. Oh. Okay. I can do exactly what was holding this place close. Yeah, like, again, like, that door, like, again, that, that lock. If you're wondering like, replicating that lock? You can go. You've seen it in town at the last time. No, it's literally just like, if, if some situation happens and this place is, we're locked out of this place. Oh yeah, yeah. And I would have a key. Yeah, that's fair.

[00:25:40] Okay, here's the other thing. Um, the knock spell suppresses an arcane lock for ten minutes. Okay. So it might lock in ten minutes. So it could lock us in, in ten minutes. Then you don't know that. I can just cast it again. Yeah. Okay, fair. Yeah. Plus from the inside, can't we unlock it? What kind of lock is it? Like an actual, like... No, it's, it's basically like the, it's like, um, a standard medieval locking mechanism. I guess like a padlock or something like that. Yeah, I don't even know what that would be. Um, it's some kind of mechanism. Like, it's a locking mechanism that's not a padlock, but it's, yeah, you probably,

[00:26:10] it might, uh, the arcane lock might only work for the, for outside so people would disturb him. Okay. Um, but you do know that very few people, except for like, head of the council members, would come and meet Ignatius, um, in some times. Okay. Like when they needed advice or something, uh, when they were in a place that they, that required magic. Mm-hmm. Um, so you're still on, you're on the second floor now? Yeah.

[00:26:36] And you roll, yeah, you, yeah, basically find whatever you can find. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a wizard. Um, but like, again, it's just no, it's everyday stuff that you're used to as a mage. It's the kind of thing you would expect a wizard to have. It's the kind of thing that I would like to have in my home. Yeah. Exactly. Well, I'll walk up to the second floor, see that he's browsing around everything. Yep. I'll head up to the third floor, I guess. Third floor? All right, look ahead.

[00:27:04] The third floor, um, is a botanist's dream. Uh, this floor appears to be outfitted as an open area greenhouse. Uh, many strange and commonplace flora can be found in soil beds and planters throughout with a workshop nearest the staircase for cultivating and prep. Mm-hmm. Uh, this floor also is the one with the window. Um, and I need you to roll me a perception check.

[00:27:31] Um, 23? 23? Mm-hmm. Uh, the window is not where it was outside. Slightly. How slightly are we talking? So, the entire room is illuminated by the light of the sun outside. But it's... But it's... The shadows aren't lining up with the window. No, no, it's not that. The window was on a slightly different, it was slightly different position when you were

[00:27:59] walking in, uh, walking up to the tower, uh, like, as you guys came in that morning. As you guys... When you came up to the, this floor, the window is in a, in a slight, like, only a few, maybe about a foot over. Uh, does it... Does the window actually follow the position of the sun? Uh, if you're... Are you also up on the third floor? I'm coming up behind him, yeah. Um, you also kind of take note of this, and that seems to be what's happening. Now, the... There are no candles at all on this floor.

[00:28:27] In the, in the previous one and the one down, there was no windows and there were just candles and illuminated, uh, stones and stuff. This one, the light is... There's always sunlight beaming into this room. As long as the sun is up. Yeah. Um, you do detect a enchantment on the window. Enchantment? Enchantment. Enchantment. Um... Yeah, so you can, again, roll Arcana or I can just tell you cause you just take 20. It wasn't a one. Okay. Um, yeah, it's... If I took a 20, I'd get a plus 40.

[00:28:57] Jesus. Yeah. Um, basically, yeah, the arc, uh, the window is enchanted with to follow the sun. Okay. For maximum light exposure. Um, and it will probably, it probably stops at night and then goes to the, uh, pops up on the side where the, where the sun comes up again. Yeah. Okay. To follow it. Okay. Uh, it's basically like to get, yeah, get to maximum solar light into this room. Okay. Uh, you found the sun floor.

[00:29:25] Um, pretty much the only thing I was going to do there to figure that sort of situation out is just find a trowel or something, throw it out the window and see if anything happens. Go boom! Just, you never know. Yeah. Explosions! Uh, and that's really all that's in here is just basically all manner of plant life, um, growing in here. Like, it's a, it's a greenhouse. Um. Do I recognize any of the plants? Yeah.

[00:29:51] Um, they're commonplace, uh, herbs and, uh, medicinal, with medicinal properties as well as, um, some exotic stuff. Now, can you sing them out in, uh, done to the theme that, uh, Wacko, Yakko and Dot do, uh, the Countries of the World song? No, and unfortunately there's one right behind you that's a man-eating plant and oh, you're dead. Alright, rural character. Wow. For asking you to make an Animaniacs reference? Thank you very much. I should be thanking him. You should get a free level for that. No.

[00:30:21] I don't give out free levels. You have to earn them super hard. Um, but anyway. We have to earn our free levels? Well, you get levels for free except for when I give them to you. It's only free if we don't really have to do much. You start paying me for like, oh, oh yeah, you definitely- Oh sure, yeah, I got gold. You get five levels for- No, no, you pay- you pay me real money. Oh, I mean, I got gold. I think so, it's got all the golds. Yeah. Anyway. That's why we're doing this so we can pay you for levels. For speed leveling. Yeah.

[00:30:52] Um, alright, so that is- that is basically what you find on the third floor. Okay. So, alright. He had his own- it looks like the room itself is like made to like not leak or anything like that down to the third floor. Otherwise it's very well maintained and contained. Although again, a layer of dust is on everything. Much like the second floor and the first floor. As if nobody has touched anything down here for like four weeks. Alright, so up to the fourth floor then? I suppose.

[00:31:21] Okay. Okay. So, the fourth floor is you're going into the house, effectively. The house section. The personal quarters of the wizard or magus that dwells within, as well as a library of all manner of book and scroll. Uh, collected from- you assume many worlds. Um, and some even inked by the form- by- by the uh, by the mage himself. Ignatius.

[00:31:50] Likely. Uh, as you look through. Um, however. And- and this room does have- um, there's also one of the bookshelves is slightly, uh, moved away from the wall. Like, almost as if it's on a hinge of some kind. And the centerpiece of everything, like, like- with the light coming in through the two windows on either side of the- the uh, two either ends of the uh, the house. Is the hung mage, Ignatius.

[00:32:21] Hung by his own intestines. Um, in a horrifying grimace of fear on his face. That's dark. Not where my brain initially went. But- You said the hung mage. Oh god. Like, did he have a portrait done of himself in the nude? No, a statue- That's what he's learning magic for. A sculpture. Specifically to enhance- Ignatius. He is Ignatius the illustrious.

[00:32:49] The former illustrious. But yeah, no, he's um, he is hung by his own um, intestines. Um, in a- with a remiss of fear, uh, in his face. Um, he has been dead for about three weeks. I'm gonna call it. Oh yeah, that's probably safe. Yeah. Um, do you actually inspect the body? Yes. Okay. From just looking at it, are there any wounds? That is the weird thing.

[00:33:14] Um, with closer inspection, the intestines were not ripped out of him. They are- Are they coming out of his mouth or- No, they come out of his- his stomach area, like below- like his abdomen area, wherever like they are on the body and the torso. They come up as almost like they melt out of his body, wrap around his head- his neck, and are up- and are on top of the um, the beam above- But there's no hole. There is no hole. There is no hole. It is very- almost naturally looking.

[00:33:45] You can roll me an- another arcana check. 31? That is some serious flesh warping, uh, technique. Okay. Um, he was- it was probably very agonizing. Um, but he did not die from the wound- from- from the intestines coming out. No, he died from the hanging. Yes. He died of asphyxiation. Asphyxiation? Asphyxiation. Um, and yeah, he's- like grimacing.

[00:34:11] Um, you also notice a, um, uh, one of the windows, um, the one that he's facing, uh, is- I thought there weren't windows on- There are windows on either end of the, uh, the house part, that's on the fourth floor. Oh, okay. Yeah, the house part is- has windows and stuff like that. Okay, okay. It's made to look kind of like the normal house. Oh, is this the house part? Yeah, you're in the house part, yeah, at this point. Okay. Third floor is the plants, fourth is the top. Yeah, the fourth floor- yeah, the fourth floor is the- yeah, the main house. Uh, it looks like it's basically a high ceiling-

[00:34:41] Oh, the lights and everything? Uh, the candles are all out, um, the only light that's coming in here is through, um, uh, light from the two windows on either end, as well as some light from the- some sunlight from the, uh, where the, uh, one part of- one part of the library has been- or the bookshelves have been moved- moved slightly away from the wall. You should sketch up this- I try to. I need to redo- we'll redo it. Oh. Um, one of the, uh, you do notice that the windows are, um- Is it square?

[00:35:10] Yeah, actually, it's very much like a rectangle. Oh, I meant just like a picture of it, because I'd like- Oh, yeah. Oh, exterior? Oh, yeah, I'll know about it at some point. Um, the windows on either end, um, they appear to be, um, like high windows that can open up, like, outward. Uh, and there's a top part, like top cap on it, window, that has a, uh- Like stained glass? Yeah, stained glass, kind of like all-seeing eye pattern. Um, and, uh, there is- the- the eye window on the side that he's facing, um, is broken

[00:35:39] from the outside by the looks of it, because there's no glass on the inside of the building. It would be broken from the inside then, if there's no glass on the inside. Yeah, there's no glass on the inside, so it, like, as if something was blown out. Left. Yes. Okay. Um, and, uh, again, like it's a- there's a bunk, or there's a, uh, a bunk, a- like an office area, a bunch of, uh, bookshelves, and a spot that where a book- where a, uh, bookshelf is on a hinge and is a jar.

[00:36:10] Um, and him just in the middle of everything. Uh, no blood on the ground. Is there, like, no blood dripping from the intestines or anything? No. They are three weeks desiccated. Okay. But no foul- no- no liquids have come out of him. Um... What's he hanging from? His intestines. No, what are they- Oh, they're wrapped around the support beams at the top. Okay. Um, he's in his- his normal- he's in mage war robes.

[00:36:38] You've seen him around town, like, before all this. Mm-hmm. Um, once or twice. Um, he's in his usual mage robes. Um... Well, that's a shame. I was planning on meeting him to learn how to make healing bullets. Yes. Shit. Um, and- Oh, sorry, you're just- you're, like, starting looking at something, so. Um, you also, uh, could roll- as you're looking at him and, like, like, inspecting him, um, you

[00:37:07] do notice that he has a ring on his finger. I will inspect the ring. Uh, it has a cat's eye, uh, uh, cat's eye jewel. Is it glowing? It is definitely- well, not glowing, but it is definitely emanating magic. Of some kind. I'm gonna try to take it off his finger. Okay. You do so. Um, his arm starts desiccating even more. You say it's desiccating when you- Like, it starts mummifying. And then drying up and cracking.

[00:37:37] Um, the rest of his body is basically, like, dried up. Like, the fluids were drained. Or, like, he- he looks- Oh, okay. Like, the reason why there's no fluids, like, dropped on the ground around him, like, in a gory mess is because he's basically kind of been semi-preserved somehow. Okay. Here, try this on. I mean... Why? Why me? Oh, because it's probably gonna make you ultra-powerful. He was wearing it, so clearly there was nothing wrong with it. And yet you don't want it.

[00:38:06] I just don't like to- I like to, uh, study the effects of things first before I, you know, try them out. You know, hold onto it just for now. You never know. I'll take it as evidence or something. Sure. Put it a little baggy. Alright, fine. Pass it back this way. Do you put it on? I like to avoid myself. No, I cast identify. Okay. Oh, um, do you just cast identify?

[00:38:35] I have a, uh, scroll of it. Okay. So, yes. Alright, fair enough. Um, you... can tell that it is, um, basically a ring of, um, um, sorcerer sanctum. It is- whoever wears it, uh, is the- uh, has control of, um, the tower and its, um, other- it's- its sub-magical, uh, functions. Oh, in that case. Mine!

[00:39:04] It's the owner's perfect, basically. I was gonna say, does that count? It would've been funny if you'd put it on because it's like, well, you're suddenly the owner of the tower. Yeah. Okay. Uh, yeah, you put it on, and you kind of- Is this legal? Roll, uh, a will save. Uh, depends on your state. Oh yeah, I guess. Mine is living. A will save? Yep. Uh, so that'll be a 16. Uh, okay. You suddenly get a three-dimensional map of the entire tower. Uh, including the sub-level.

[00:39:34] Ah! Um, there is a- uh, and also you know where that, um, that, uh, basically through the blueprint that you're suddenly just seeing through your retina, um, you see, uh, where that, uh, that gap between the two, uh, bookshelves goes. It is a secret book room. Hmm. Um, or a rare book room is called- I like a secret book room. Um, you also have a catalog of all the things that are in the greenhouse, um, and all the things that are in- like, all the material that are in the, uh, the arcane, uh, workshop.

[00:40:04] Yes. Sorry, I just want to touch on something that drives me crazy about Pathfinder. Hmm. Okay, so the pre-constructed spell books. Yeah. One of the spell books is written by a wizard named Rul Thaven. Yeah.

[00:40:23] Based on the detail they put into this book, and some of the things that you can extrapolate, because they actually have three different tiers of it, is when it was- when he was a low-level spellcaster, mid-level spellcaster, high-level spellcaster. Okay. The notes and jots and stuff about the spell book itself. It's a very interesting character. Yeah. And that's all they wrote about it. They didn't write what the spells were? Oh, no, no. They tell you what spells are in it. But- This is all you get for character information.

[00:40:52] That's all you get for character information. There is no other information about Rul Thaven anywhere. Nice. I need to know more. He is the book. Well, it's not funny if he just tells you. Wow. I realized it. It's an inside joke. It's a joke from Al Dente. Yeah. We just did a story where the guy always pisses off people because he'll start a story but don't tell you all the information.

[00:41:21] And his sign off joke is, well, it's no fun if I just tell you. He's that guy. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, I understand that play. And yeah, you definitely, with this ring, you can access- Ivy Way. Yeah. You can access- You're married to this place, not this tower. Yeah. You can access the sub-law chamber through that pedestal on the ground level. Okay.

[00:41:50] Well, I think we should check out the hidden book room. Okay. I think we should make sure that there's no possible bad things here. Sure. Cause I don't think we fully checked this place. Yeah, you don't know. He's still just hanging there. Yeah, I should probably cut him down. Like, almost kinda like the ring kind of thing where like their face is like super distorted and like in fear and terror. Okay. My floating cape just kinda latches onto my shoulders and I cast my hand across and it drops him to the floor but he turns into dust before he hits the ground. So it's all good. No, he just slips.

[00:42:21] You know, horrible mess. Oh, I thought I was Sorcerer Supreme for a moment. Sorry. I mean, you could use some sort of incendiary line attack to potentially- In a library, yeah. Yeah. There you go. That seems like a brilliant idea. Yeah. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Um. I guess I'll start- I'll carry the body out. Okay, so you're cutting it down? Well, did you already cut it down or were you just joking?

[00:42:50] He was just joking, I think. Unless you did. I was, but I can actually do that. I was gonna say, I was just gonna get my knife. I have to cast Prestigidation anyway because I'm definitely gonna clean the dust out of this place. So you go down and get started and I'll clean out the tower and I'll be down in a minute. I feel like we just moved in here and were roommates. I thought we were here to find out what happened this guy. Yeah, that was kind of the thing too. Well, yeah, but I kind of- I mean, out of game, no, if you are moving in, but in game, like, you still need to get the setup. Um.

[00:43:19] Actually, I do have valid reason for cleaning up upstairs. Okay. And that is, um, he was clearly terrified before he died. Yeah. Um, being a spellcaster, he may have been researching or, um, written down notes about whatever it is he was terrified about. That's fair. So, in the process of cleaning, I can go through the stuff that he most recently had out and see what I can find out. Okay.

[00:43:46] Although, for tuning in this as a crime scene, we should probably leave them the way it is and then I go, who is the authority here? This is hilarious because we have a medieval fantasy-esque- And we're trying to investigate. And I'm like a Wild West sheriff. And then we have somebody from Modern Earth, an agent from the- Oh. From Federal Modern Earth. Yeah, I'm from 2018. He's a Federal Agent-y kind of character. Okay. So, who's been living among- The joke that I was going to make about how we're turning this game into a procedural police program- Is not too far off.

[00:44:15] Yeah, it's not too far off and it's actually kind of valid. Yeah. Pretty much. Because you guys are from different time periods. Who is the law in this town anyways? Um. The guard. I am the guard. Actually, the guard and then there is a sheriff but I haven't named him yet so we can name him at some point. Waylon Winchester. You're the one who gives- Basically, they get their ammunitions and whatnot from you. Yeah. Well, me and the Russian ninja. Oh yeah, and Russian ninja. Two point. He gets some references. The sheriff's name should be Wayne.

[00:44:46] Okay. Wayne Johnson. No, it has to be alliteration. Yeah. I wanted to say Wayne Eastwood but- Yeah. Yeah. Wayne Westwood. Wayne Westwood. There we go. It's a Clint Eastwood and a John Wade reference in one. That works. Yep. Alright, I'm just going to add that to the list of- Because everyone a pilgrim. Yep. Because they've been out pilgrims.

[00:45:15] And everybody calls him the Duke. Yep. I'm sure. Fuck. I was going to add the Luke. Because of the lyrics. Wayne Westwood. God damn it. Oh, which is funny because his initials would be the logo for Westworld. Yeah. Yeah. The Duke. So they could just use the logo from Westworld. Yeah, sure. You can have it on a giant belt box.

[00:45:45] Yep. Anyway, so you're cleaning up the- So you cut down the body. He doesn't have much else on him. He has a wand of prestigitation. Sure. 20 charges. And- Say, I'm going to pause this for a minute. What made me go here? You were- You kind of were brought in like offhandedly through him.

[00:46:14] Also, you're like- I think you kind of became the tour guide for the new guy. Oh, okay. Yeah. Or because the Nephilim's not there, the sheriff's like, oh, he can't go by himself. You go with him. You know him. Yeah. That totally happened. Let's go with that. Sure. At least it's not, you guys all meet in a tavern. I have to go slay the dragon. That's kind of how it started. We met near the tavern. No, you guys-

[00:46:44] No, it started with the death of a guard. Yeah, that's true. Brought in like by a physical thing. Or things. Yes. Is uncertain. I don't remember, did you say that there was multiple- You- I heard it. It looked like he was pulled- All four of his arms were pulled by- I understand, but Gororol can do that. Yeah, that's true. So, um- And you did hear a bunch of little like- That's what I'm saying. I heard a bunch of foot- Padded feet. Padded steps. Okay.

[00:47:12] So, you, um- Yeah, the body is removed. One depressed digitization. Yeah. You told me what he had on him. That's actually it. At the time, that's all he had on him. Yeah, so he was well hung. Yeah. Sure. Uh, at least that's just what he had on him at the time. He was- He probably just had it in his pocket. Okay. Um, aside from the ring, um, and whatnot. His clothes are- Not smell very good. But they were- They were wizard's robes.

[00:47:43] Um, sorry, I don't know what faith he was. Should we burn the body? Bury him? Eh, never met the guy really. Directly. Unfortunately, the town has an all church. Or has a- Has a coveness church. That- Uh, share- Or, uh, time shares, uh, religions. Yeah, his- His faith would probably be closer to mine, cause you know, wizard. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's faith, right? Well, yeah, we've got faith in our magic. Our Kennedy. Hmm.

[00:48:10] I say we go with the, uh, with the, uh, burial. Okay. Yeah. The property isn't big, but it is- There is a property around the tower. It's not like just one of the farm fields. No, no, no. A wizard when he dies, unless, unless he really wants to be coming back, would want to be burned to ash to make it harder to resurrect him. Yeah. So what, so he doesn't come back as a lich or whatever?

[00:48:38] So that, uh, he's not brought back against his will. Oh. Okay. Okay. So you guys- Well, I'll have to clear with, um, um, I already forgot his name. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Um, Wayne Westwood. Wayne Westwood or the church itself? Oh, yeah. Cause they'll probably do the ceremony or whatever. I'm essentially doing a report of everything that's happening here. Yeah, you have to talk to the Wiccans, um, at the, uh, at the, at the Covenant Church. Okay.

[00:49:09] But for now, I'll cut them down, bring them down to the first floor. Okay. Put them on the side so the smell isn't happening inside. Yeah, there's, I'll say that like next to the wood pile there is a wagon. Okay. Or like a little, like a little wheelbarrow-y kind of thing. Just put the, put like, maybe put some, put a blanket or some kind of like, uh, some kind of like, um- It's not naked. Not a blanket, but I mean like, um, put something like a sheet over him just so it's like, I mean yeah, he's not naked, but it's still like a horrible-hung. Yeah, I'm not gonna just- You wrap, you wrap his, the rest of the intestines around him. Yeah, exactly. It's fine. It's so horrifying. Yeah, no.

[00:49:38] Um, yeah, we'll find some room. Yeah, we'll find some room. I really should have made you guys roll a little safe. Just for like- It's fine. Yeah. I've killed before. Probably. I've killed you now. Mm-hmm. I've been a voice now. Yes. Now you just need a camera. Yeah, totally. And you're simply that guy. Mm-hmm. Um, yeah. So how far away is the, the tower from, like, the main town? Probably about an hour and a half. Really? Yeah, it's, it's an hour and a half walk out into like, well, it's about two hours to the far, to the borders of town. Okay.

[00:50:07] Or to the borders of the township. Like, where those, where the, um, cullin, cullinades are. Okay. Those standing stones that they put as a perimeter. Okay. Um, yeah, so it's about an hour and a half to the bridge. Or to like, the, like, to the, uh, the, the, the Halo River. Okay. Yeah, I got nothing for that. Sorry. Okay.

[00:50:32] So, um, safe to say that if I'm there kind of semi-deputized doing this, the sheriff while he's doing other things, I'd, I'd figure I would have sketched in probably the, the crime scene situation. Showing that he's hung. And then carry him down, put him in the back, throw a blanket over him while he's doing whatever he's doing. Yeah. So what are, what is, uh, or Balthazar doing while the body's being removed? I've already gone over this.

[00:50:58] So you're investigating the, uh, the, what he was researching, and he opened books. Okay. Um, well, are you going to investigate that book room? That other book room? It is a jar. On the sly, yes. Okay. Um, you don't, you, again. If he didn't notice it, I'm not going to tell him about it. Well, he's, you only know about it because you have the blueprint in your head. You don't say anything. No, no, no. It was, it was open. The door is slightly ajar. It was slightly, uh, away from the door, from the wall. Oh, okay. And you do know that it was a, um.

[00:51:27] But the question is, did he notice it? I don't know. Did you notice that there was, um, a part of the, part of the wall was suddenly, like, away from the, uh, wall? I'll leave it up to the dice. Alright, so percentile. I'll go low. Or rather, like, I, I don't really want to notice it. Okay, so roll low then. Roll what? Uh, so you're, you're aiming for low, under 50%. I'm saying, like, it doesn't, that's a 50% chance. It really doesn't, yeah, it really doesn't. I'm saying, like, if. It's like higher low, like, yeah. No, can I remember. Okay, whatever.

[00:51:57] Yeah, you weren't actually able to try it. Alright, there you are. Um, 96. 96? That's pretty high. Cool. You were, well, you were a little preoccupied. There was a, there was something in the spotlight. Yeah. There was a body. In the middle of the room. Um, so yeah, you, you do find some scrawlings there, Aaron, um, sorry, Balthazar, uh, in the main room. Um, of just like, they're just writings and stuff of that, and like a journal entry from

[00:52:25] like their last world they visited. Um, some place called, uh, Texas. Um. Behold. My stuff. Yeah. Particularly on the east. Honestly, it's actually funny that you didn't notice that and you weren't there too, because you know what Texas is. Destroy. Because when you put them together, they destroy. They destroy. But yeah, um, yeah, you find like some scribbles about that, and then you go into the rare book room.

[00:52:56] Um. Yeah. Um, and yeah, it's on a hinge, so it's, and it's made to basically like, once it's closed, it's, you can't tell. Uh, unless you know which book it is. How big is the room? Uh, it's probably no bigger than like this section here. This alcove? Yeah. It's a little alcove on the side of the house. Um, and uh, it has several pedestals with chained, um, well, one of the pedestals has a

[00:53:23] chained book on it, a big black tome, and the other one, uh, a sister pedestal, like, right next to it, has chains, but they are free. And there is a noticeable dust silhouette of something, of a similar book. There was something there, it's not there anymore. Um, that is not there anymore. Um, there are also tables and like pedestal-like little like displays with strange, um, just rocks. Like large.

[00:53:49] And then you can look at the eye of Agamotto and turn back time so that it can see what was there. Oh, sorry. Oh. You don't have that yet. Yeah, exactly. Um, but yeah, you notice that it is, uh, the, the tome that's there, um, is an all black cover with a gold lettering saying Donnelly. Um, it is chained up. The black book of the Donnellys? Yeah.

[00:54:17] Um, and then the other, the other spot is where a notebook would be. There's, and then like I said, there's other pedestals with scrolls. Is there anything? And also stones. I don't know why I'm asking, but are there anything, is there anything on the pedestals, like a, like any scripture or words? Um, actually yeah, there are some, um, some, uh, there are some parchment paper or some pieces of paper, um, around the one that, uh, the pedestal that's missing.

[00:54:42] Um, that do have, uh, some notes, um, and actually one of them has a note, uh, some, some writings and an analysis on a quote of some kind. And you assume it's possibly from the book that, that's not there. Uh, it reads, if you want, if you're reading it. Yep. He knows where they had trod earth's fields and where they still tread them. And why no one can behold them as they tread.

[00:55:11] By their smell can men sometimes know them near, but of their semblance can no man know, save only in the features of those they have begotten on mankind. And of those are there many sorts differing in likeness from man's truest eidolon to that shape without sight or substance, which is them.

[00:55:37] Um, and among these like busy just analyzing this, this quote, this paragraph, um, and there's a formula, um, on like one of the, one on the, near the bottom of them. Um, you can roll another arcana. It's going to be a common investigative version. Um, it is a reworking, um, basically like reusing, like using different components,

[00:56:01] um, and some, uh, different somatic parts for re-for reworking the spell glitter dust. Oh. Okay. Um, and that seems to be, it seems to be written in the same hand that was, um, from the jot notes you saw in the, in the main room. Okay.

[00:56:30] I am sorry for the audience for hearing any weird clicking that keeps happening. Hey, let's stop doing it in the quiet of where nothing's actually even said. And he's a gunslinger, so he's probably actually doing that while he's sitting around doing that. As he's like, just like, smoking, like near the corpse, just like... Sure. Um, actually are you outside? And, uh, he chews, he doesn't smoke. Okay, fair enough. Yeah, he chewed in tobacco. Yeah. Maybe. You're making up these things for me. Oh, I thought we'd covered this in the past. Did we? I think so. I don't recall that.

[00:57:00] Because they're... Oh, right, no, the grit, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. The grit situation. Yeah, it's gonna be some good. I thought that was just out of, in jest, while creating the character. I mean, why? Why not use it? Yeah, why not? Yeah. Um, actually, are you outside though? Because smoking's bad for you, because I know that in 2018. That is actually a serious question though. Are you actually outside, or... Well, yeah. I was just putting the body in the wagon, covering it up, and... Okay. Um, you can roll me a perception check. Okay. As you do smell something funny.

[00:57:31] That isn't the body you've just spent pulling in. 24. Um, you smell that same scent that you got... About two, or a couple of weeks ago. And that you kind of smelled occasionally in town when somebody dies. Uh, and then you look over out to the farm fields, like, just kind of... Because something moves. And you see one of the farm hands running and trying to climb up a, um... Uh, one of the scarecrows out in the field.

[00:58:01] Wait, whose farm hand is this? Just a different farm? Oh, yeah, there's farm fields all around you guys. Just different farmers? Like, not the wizards? Yeah, not the wizards. Okay. Just like, like another farm hand, like... Like, it's... And he's off like 50... Like, 50, 75 feet away. Um, like, out on... Like, a little bit ways away. Um, and you see him, like, trying to climb up this... Probably a couple of years. The scarecrow. And his leg... Leg is... His clothes are being tugged by something in midair. But you can't see whether it's tugging. But, like, as if something has grabbed it.

[00:58:29] Is this the, um, the second time I have physically witnessed this happen? Yeah, you haven't been there when the other ones... Okay. But you get that wand. Question. Yes. Um... Is this within range of the ring? Within range of the ring? Yeah, is it technically on the grounds of the tower? No. No, okay. No, that's... The ring is only within the... Confines of the brick? Yeah, the brick tower.

[00:58:59] Okay, so it doesn't have, like... It might pick... If something slams into the tower, it'll pick it up. Okay. Um, also, uh, the reworking, or the extra ingredient, or the replacement ingredient for the glamour dust, or the glitter dust, uh, spell, is corpse dust. Oh, okay. We just happen to have a corpse. Um, yeah. I'm going to leave the room and close the door swiftly. Okay. Uh, you actually roll a perception check, because one of the windows is slightly open, if... Because of a...

[00:59:26] After I noticed, I was gonna say, I'm gonna be yelling up to him. Uh, that'll be a 23. You hear a distant, uh, cry, like, cry for help. Like, outside. Okay. I'm going to, uh, dive out the window. Okay. Four stories, huh? Up. Five stories up. Featherfall. Yep. Mind free. My mind. And you see him just jump up, like... Are you just, like, opening the window and pulling, and jumping out? Or are you just, like, breaking through the glass? Or are you jumping out with, like, the arms crossed? It's already a broken window.

[00:59:56] No, no, no. The top cap was broken. Oh, okay. Like, right through the pupil of the eye. Whatever, I gotta fix the window anyway. Finish it yourself. Full throttle to the ground until I'm about three feet up, and then slow right down, land on my feet. Oh! Mages. Yeah, really. Um, yeah, you see... I appreciate the, uh, halo drop, though. You see the, uh, the farm, the farm hand, um, being, like, crying for help as, as he's

[01:00:26] holding on for dear life on the, the, the scarecrow off in the distance, uh, being tugged and grabbed by something you can't see. Okay. Like, his, like, one leg is getting pulled and, like, you hear, like, or, like, yeah, you just, like, he's, like, crying out, and, like, clothes are being grabbed. Okay. Okay. Okay, goddammit, not this again. Well, last time brute force didn't happen, didn't work. Physical force. So, um, I don't know.

[01:01:00] Well, how far away is he? He's 50 feet? About 50, 75 feet. Where's the corpse? Uh, right over there. Go help the guy. I'm gonna go to the corpse. Sergeant Ray. Okay. Well, he was desiccating on his own. That's true. I should just be able to rub some skin. That's fair, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Just that dust. Yeah, that works. Okay. Sure, yeah, I'll do this by myself. Thanks, Mr. Wizard. Anytime. Alright, so you run up to the guy. Yeah.

[01:01:30] By the time you get there, you hear a sickening snap as his one arm, his one leg that's being like constantly being grabbed, pops out of its socket. And he just like lets out a blood-curdling scream. Okay. Oh god, help me! Hang on. Hang on. As you're running across farm fields. The farm field. Mm-hmm. Leap across the fence.

[01:02:00] Hurdle. Hurdle, yeah. No? Jesus. You break into a ballistic dive roll, come up on your feet, keep going. Totally unnecessary. Yes. Oh, it would be even better if we were running together so that we could do the crossover. Yes. Oh yeah. You do the tuck and roll. Super uh... The ridiculous unnecessary crossover dives. Yep. Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil Revelations. Yep. It's so unnecessary.

[01:02:29] Chris Redfield just loves his crossover dives. Just a stupid grit shit I gotta read through. Ding ding. Well while he's doing that, what are you doing? Uh, now that I've got the dust in hand, I'm casting Glitter Dust. Okay. So you're running, you're chasing after you do that? I can cast from here. Okay. It's got a pretty long range. Okay. Uh, and then it explodes in a 10 foot radius. So what is the range though? 100 feet plus 10 feet per caster level. Okay. So that's 170 feet. Yeah, so you can definitely catch that.

[01:03:01] Um... Okay. And actually, if I can get the spell off before he gets there, that's even better. Mm-hmm. Because it does tend to blind everybody in the area. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what I'm trying to do. Because I tried manually smacking the unseen force with my body, it didn't work. Yeah. Um, so my thought process right now is just shooting him in the knee to dislocate the lower half of his leg and free him. Okay.

[01:03:32] Um... I'd say roll a reflex. Can I do that? Uh, now how do we want...um, do you want the spell to go off first? Or how do we figure out the spell to go off first? That's what I'm saying. I'm letting you know what I want to do. Because if that's a problem... I appreciate my spell go off first. Roll a reflex to see if you can do it before he shoots. Alright. Alright. Roll yours. Yeah, it could be an opposed reflex. A reflex? Yeah, just basically like for speed, like in terms of who goes first, like initiative tapping.

[01:03:59] Or I guess it would be a base dex for initiatives, like basically an opposed net initiatives. Okay, we could do that too. So, yeah, base dex. Okay. I have a plus two on my initiative though. Okay. Then... Because that's a gunslinger thing when you... Then oppose each other. Just with initiative? Yeah. Oppose me! Always roll a one. 15. I got it. Aww. We have to roll again. Ty goes with fire. We're both fire. Ty goes with fire.

[01:04:28] It happens at the same time. I think we both play the same dex. Ugh. I got 15 again. Well, I got 15 again. Well, roll 15. Plus a 4, plus a 2. Jesus. So like 20? Jesus. No. I have a plus two on initiative when I have grit. Oh, okay. It's just part of the gunslinger thing. So you... Where did your plus four come from? My dex. I have 18 dex. Oh, okay. Yeah, no, you got me beat. Alright. So, I'm going to get a plus four.

[01:04:57] So, yeah, fire. Or roll your attack out. It's a targeted... Or it's a minus four unless you have some kind of thing that allows you to take aim quickly. Well, that's what I was looking through because there is a deed for targeting. But when you target the leg, it says, on hit the target is damaged normally and knocked prone creatures that have four more legs, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, so that one would work. It's just... But like, I don't see a reason of using grit for this. Okay, then no. Because there's no bonus for using grit. It's just like, if you...

[01:05:27] If you use grit, you get that bonus compared to shooting some in the legs normally. It takes a minus 40. Or, sorry, minus four. Minus 40? Jesus! Yeah, you take a minus four for called shots. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, I didn't... It doesn't seem like this removes that because I'm burning grit. I thought it would. At seventh level, it's a full round action. I think it doesn't see it as a fair trade-off. Okay, fair. I'm seeing it doesn't help me do what I want. Okay. It can make a single firearm attack and choose the body of the target,

[01:05:55] gains the following effects depending on the target. It doesn't say it removes... The penalty of firing? Yeah. Alright. You can read it if you want. It doesn't say... It doesn't say you have to take the called shot penalty where you don't lose it. Okay, no, okay, so... Yeah, but it does... It does actually remove the minus four penalty. Because it doesn't say you have to take the... You're spending your whole round action to aim and fire. Oh, okay. Yeah.

[01:06:25] And you're spending... It does cost a grit on though, but yeah. And it doesn't say to treat it like a called shot. Yeah. Okay, so because it doesn't say that. Okay. Yeah. Alright, well... And this is a special ability, so it has its own rules. Yeah. That being said, I'm not going to use it. Okay. You're just going to take the minus four. I'm just going to take the minus four and just see what happens. Because I've actually never shot, so I don't know if I need that right now for this situation. Because I might need my grit for whatever is about to happen. Fair enough. So, let's see what happens. 14? Or wait, no.

[01:06:54] 17. Minus four. 13. Um... I'd say that's going to hit. You're getting pretty close. Now, he is still invisible, right? No, the hands are invisible. I'm shooting the leg of the guy who's being taken. Oh, okay. To dislocate his leg from his body so he's not being held anymore. So you're trying to blow his leg off. Yes. From the kneecap. Kneecap down. Because he's being held by the leg. Jesus Christ. So I'd say, like, he's close enough. Like, a 13 probably would do it still.

[01:07:26] You know what? My gun has a range of 60 and I've been running for a while, so I'm way... Yeah, you get within about 30, 20 to 30 feet at least. And the guy's being grappled so he's denied his dex. Yeah. And he's a farmhand so he's not wearing any armor so his AC is probably like 10. Yeah, so you definitely hit him. Plus I have that perk for shooting in a melee. Yeah. Yeah. Which... Yeah. Cool. So yeah, you blow off...

[01:07:50] There's a gout of blood as you blow through his kneecap and after a few really grisly moments of like sickening tear sound, his leg comes off... Out of his pants. Or no, like his pants and pant clothing and his leg go with him. And he just like, again, more screaming. I mean, at this point he's basically like beyond words, gurgling. Cool.

[01:08:17] And then the glitter dust goes off. I'll save you! He basically just like... He's being pulled, like full, and then suddenly he's just like limply hanging like from his arms on the pole that is holding up the scarecrow. Also, he may give me a reflex save. They both must. The, uh, him or the, uh, everybody... Then gets hit by my, uh, by my, uh, by my, uh, by my stripper bomb. Oh, you're right. My stripper bomb.

[01:08:48] Okay. Glitter dust. Because it's glitter. It literally coats everything in glitter. Okay, cool. Um, it also... It actually, um, because of the reworking, it actually coats everything in purple, um, purple, like dust. Oh, that's sad. I liked calling it the stripper bomb. I mean, there's nothing to say that the dust isn't reflective, highly reflective in the sunlight. Oh no, it's reflective, but it is... So it would be glittery. Purpley glitter. Purpley glitter. Alright. It's based on...it was the reworking for it. Okay.

[01:09:19] Where is thy fucking dust? Yeah, I'm worth it. Okay, then strippers. There you go. Sure. And of course you broke the fucking... With three booms. Or one boob. True. Like the one boob one from Kung Pao. Is this...is this suit somehow crippled breasted? That's not really a thing. Did it really? Fuck it. Okay. Just...just...just...just...just...just...just...no, go away. Is it in here or in there? No, I haven't found it.

[01:09:47] I just, like, dumped all my freaking dice out of it. Oh, okay. I'm gonna be a bitch. Alright. Did you need more of them? No, that should be it. Okay. Okay. So what was that, reflex you said? Uh, reflex, yeah. That is... 12. You're blind. Cool. 18, 21...yeah, I'll go with them.

[01:10:17] And then the...yeah, he's blind. He had a 10. So...he's blind and sobbing and gurgling as he's bleeding out from the... He's having a good day. Um, as this purple sparkly dust, uh, coats the...that...what...how big of a radius is it? 10 foot? 10 foot radius. A 10 foot radius around that scarecrow. And you see the invisible things, um...

[01:10:46] I mean, I was...you said I was 20 feet, but we'll say after I shot I ran in to go grab them and now I was in range. Yeah. Um, they are... I was gonna do that anyways. ...large, um, strange looking...they're...they're human hands. How much does this coat them? I figured it's just a head and shoulder situation. It outlines them, basically. Oh, okay. Um, but it...yeah, like, so you're not seeing the whole thing, but they are human hands, the size of men. Um, and they...

[01:11:15] You mean the hand is the size of an entire man? Yeah. There's a human hand at the...at the wrist, um, as far as you can tell through the outline, with sharp nails, um, and other little weird things like knobs and, like, like, kind of almost gnarled maybe. And there's...where the...where the...where the wrist kind of ends, um, there are squamish tentacular, like, tendrils coming...squirming around, um, the top, like, like, reaching for the sky.

[01:11:43] Um, and they are...what have been pulling him, grabbing him at him and pulling him. Okay. And they don't seem to have...it's like... How big is the creature itself? There's two of them. Uh, they are about the size of a person. Okay. They're human hands, well, shape-wise, size of a person. You said...you said huge, or at least I thought you said huge. Yeah, sorry, I...I say huge because it's a hand something big. Like, human...like, that's huge. Oh, it's just a hand. Yeah, it's just a human hand. Oh, okay, okay.

[01:12:11] Um, and it is...sometimes, like, physics don't entirely work around it because it is...they're basically...they've been grabbing at him and pulling as if they were...there was a body there, but there is no body. It's just these squamish things at the end, at the end. Yeah. And...but they can also...they are also walking, crawling around on the ground. Like Cousin It. Yeah, like Cousin It. Okay. Um, and...the one that grabs the leg notices you. Um... Alright.

[01:12:41] Uh, it basically faces you. Ugh. There are times that I wish I was an 18-fold spellcaster. Why? Aside from the obvious. Uh, no, the...well... Of just being high level and awesome. Um...oh, well, I'm...there's another obvious reason. If you played a lot of, uh, standard D&D. Mm-hmm. Um, the Bigby spells are all hand-themed, which means you conjure a hand of force that is of large size. Oh, nice. Ugh!

[01:13:11] Could have a magical arm wrestle. Nice. It's more like a giant finger battle. Um, they are quite... A giant hand fight? Yeah. Um, the guy takes note of them and just...you didn't think he'd have...he had much left in him, but he just starts screaming and passes out. And so he just falls to the ground from the, uh, uh, from the...from the side of these things. You guys are made of a little bit of stutter stuff. Well, obviously.

[01:13:37] Um, so, uh, but one of them turns to you as the other one is going...still worrying after him. Wait, so there's two of them? Yeah, there are two. Yes. The one that was grabbing him...is looking at me now. The one that was grabbing the leg. And there's one that was, like, grabbing at his shirt, the back of his shirt. Um, but now they are...well, now one of them is only grabbing at him as he's falling limp to the ground, and the other one that grabbed the leg knows that you took...you you...you...you...uh, we're an...you're an obstacle now. And he's gonna go after the gunslinger.

[01:14:09] Sure. I guess we've entered combat. I suppose we have...can we talk about this? Is there a casualty back there? I just pointed my pencil! That really hurt. Alright. So, uh, I guess, uh, initiatives. Uh, what'd you do?

[01:14:44] 21. 22. 22? Damn! Damn! Damn! I had to roll up for that. Yeah. Cause it's all just dex for me. 22, 21. Mmhmm. Balthazar... Which makes sense anyways, cause I'm blind. Wayland... Actually, this guy... The way you said that, it sounded like... 20. Okay, wait, um, actually, uh, 22. What was your...what's your dex? Plus three. Plus three? No, but like...no, like... 16.

[01:15:14] 16? Alright, you are going first. Okay. So, uh, yeah, Balthazar, you are going first. Uh, how far are you...so you were still back at the...basically back at the tower. This is about 50...we'll say 50 feet away. Okay. Um, so...yeah, you see the purple outline of the things. Alright. Or the its. Sorry.

[01:15:45] I'm going to, um, erect a dome. A nice big wall of ice surrounding the, uh, uh, um, um, the peasant. Okay, how big is that? Cause there is one right next to it. Like, he's basically still in melee with one of them. Is it actually grabbing him? It is still grabbing him. Then I'm putting the wall up between them. Okay. Um... I guess I'll roll a reflex of CV if it gets stuck or something like that. That's fair.

[01:16:15] Based on my style of DC, I guess? Yup. Okay. Uh, what is your...so what is that? That is...dc of 17. 20? Nah, that beats 17. Okay, so it knows something's happening. As ice starts curling up. Uh, and it dives, or it jumps back. And then it kind of adjusts itself with fingers as legs. Like a spider, basically. And looks at you. Okay.

[01:16:44] And it starts kind of floating through the air towards you. So... It's okay. I'm using my move action to, uh, start hustling over towards the ice dome I just made it. So it's going to...you guys are intercepting each other. Alright. Basically. Um, however, the one that is targeting the gunslinger, Wayland, um, is going to attack you. Attack me? Yep. But it is going to charge. With its spidery motion. Okay.

[01:17:11] Um, so this one's actually like on the ground, whereas the other one is moving almost like a...like it's levitating through the air toward him. Yes. But, uh, yeah. So it is going to attack you with claws. As it...it basically opens...like it...it leaps...as it's crawling, it leaps up at you. It's gonna scratch me. You don't actually see, um...because, again, like the glitter dust doesn't really cover... It's not a complete silhouette. Like, I'm assuming... You see something... Well, it's...does...does the glitter dust work...

[01:17:41] Does it cover everything? Does it coat everything? Or does it like... Or it's just like it lands on the top of everything? Or does it make an outline like a...like a... Like a... Or does it go under and like show the palm? Yeah. Um, think of it like a...um...almost like a...a dust grenade. Yes. Okay, so... Anything underneath it wouldn't have got. So if the hand was like this, and the grenade exploded up here, it would go bam, and it wouldn't coat underneath. That's fair. It would just show the things on top. Okay.

[01:18:09] So it...it...it...it's just running toward you and you think it's going to go claw at you? Mm-hmm. Um, and then it...I guess we'll roll and see what happens. Uh, that is going to be a...damn. Uh, 22. Yep. Um, it does not scratch at you. You feel teeth as its palm makes contact with your shoulder area. Okay.

[01:18:34] Your shoulder and like your...like your torso kind of area as you start getting gnawed on from its palm. Um, so I will roll the DC...the damage. That is going to...uh, that is going to be... Wait, one of the monsters goes before even Aaron? Yeah. Okay. No, no, no, Aaron's already gone. Like, he's already gone. Oh. But when it's attacking you, there was one between you guys. But I...he...he rolled...oh. I rolled a 20. It rolled a 22. I could have swore I rolled one lower than you. I guess it was... You did.

[01:19:04] It rolled a 20. But it also rolled the same as me. Oh, but it kind of goes to the player so... Exactly, yeah. Um, so that is going to be...12 damage. That's true. As you were just getting like...it's not even the claws that are like lashing out at you, it's something in its palm is biting at you. Okay. Like with gnashing teeth. Okay. And you're grabbed. Yes. So you're in a grapple as well. Because it is about human size. It's basically like being attacked by a man-sized octopus.

[01:19:35] Yep. So... Next one is you though, Waylon. So you're going to have to break out of that grapple. Yes, I am. So...you have to be...it's...does it have to...he has to roll his combat maneuver to ungrapple against its combat defense? Combat maneuver defense? I'm not sure. This is a Pathfinder thing. I think a Pathfinder, that's how that works. Like the person that's trying to break out of the grapple.

[01:20:03] It's a...it'll be in a post-strength check against...yeah. So roll your combat maneuver...roll your combat maneuver to ungrapple...try and get out of the grapple. Because you've got to do that before you can do anything. Unless you are just want to keep getting damage from it. Yeah, maybe I do think you can. Um...I mean...can't I just shoot it? It's right like there in your face. I guess you could. Um...do you have point blank range?

[01:20:34] Point blank shot. Okay, then yeah, I guess you can shoot in like really close range. Okay. Then...smile you son of a bitch! Bam! Pretty much, yeah. Cause um...as it's just like...like grabbed on you. It's like a vest on your...now at this point. I'm gonna give deadshot a go. Okay. Which is I do a full round action against the slayer, take careful aim and pull all the attack die into a single deadly shot.

[01:21:01] Um...shoots fire on my single target, but makes as many attack rolls as they can based on their base attack bonus. Okay. So my base attack bonus is...7 slash 2. So...you can do 2 damage...or 2 attacks? I don't know. Sorry? Uh...makes as many attack rolls as they can based on their base attack bonus. Okay. Does that mean... It's 2. Okay. Yeah. Your attack bonus is plus 7 plus 2? Yes.

[01:21:31] Yeah, so then that's 2 attacks. Oh, okay. I don't know if it's like roll 7 times, cause it's a 7. Okay. Okay. So for each successful attack, roll beyond the first, the gunslinger increases the damage of the shot by the base damage of the firearm. So, for example...this is the first time I'm doing this so I'm just reading this.

[01:21:56] 7-12 gunslinger, fire a musket hits both attacks, they do 2d12 of damage with the shot instead of 1d12. So if I hit with both because I have 1d10, I do 2d10. Yeah. Okay. So, I will attempt to hit with both. Do we even have to roll because I'm point blank with it touching it? You really don't have to...yeah, I would actually say that you... Because it's on me.

[01:22:25] It's right there and you're actually going to be suffering damage. You'll probably be taking damage right off the get go of like the next round from it because it's right there and you didn't ungrapple. Even if this murders it? I would... If this murders it, which... That's what I'm hoping on. Let's see if it murders it. That's what I'm hoping on. Let's see if it murders it. Okay, so... That's basically like yeah, you're basically like going full power, praying that that's either enough or close enough. Okay. So... Are you doing it extra gritty like? Yeah, I'm burning grit for this. Okay. Yeah. This is...it makes it a full round action so I can double back the damage.

[01:22:54] Yeah, that's why he's like smile you son of a bitch. Yeah, one of them situations. Okay. So, two of these. Eight. One of them was a one. That's not very good. So, how much else? Is that all the only damage? Eight? Yeah. Okay. Because the damage is normally 1d10 so I rolled two of them. Yeah, okay. It's just that one was so bad it didn't really... Actually, you know what? Sorry.

[01:23:23] Do roll... Like you're going to hit it regardless. You are point blank so you get a plus one because you have a point blank shot. You do get a point blank, yeah. You get point blank to hit. Or sorry. To hit. To hit. Plus one to damage. And plus one to damage. But I'm saying roll because you're still going to hit it. But you might get a 20. You might get a crit. Okay. And that is times 3. Yeah. That's 4. Oh, okay. Times 4. Nope. One's 18.

[01:23:51] Unless your weapon has a special... So anyway, that's 8 then 9 10 because it's plus 1. So 10 total. That is not enough. Yeah, you strike through it and like Ickor, like black blue Ickor kind of comes out onto you through the invisible wound but you don't see it. It's still on you. Okay. What was that? Oh yeah, that was actually...

[01:24:20] Yeah, that was your turn. Okay, so that thing is here. It is down to the dead. I don't know if that was a good choice or not. It was worth it. The one roll was the bad part. Yeah, it was worth trying. Yeah, it was technically a 2 because he was 1 point. Yeah. Alright, so roll... Alright, so now it is the other creature's turn, the other hand's turn. It is floating to intercept you. Yeah. With saying, these things remind me of old Widow Robinson. They're all in the hands.

[01:24:50] Okay. Sorry. Little old ladies being all handsy? Oh yeah. Fair enough. Okay. Yeah, so what are you going to do as it's coming up? As you're running to intercept. Alright. Okay. So an acrobatics of 23, I rolled a natural 20. Okay. I want to break into a baseball slide. Right underneath it?

[01:25:19] Right between its finger lines. So it's basically... No, no, it's actually levitating over the air toward you. Almost like a reaper, I guess. Are you going to Bruce Lee and slide underneath it and then uppercick it in the falls? Uh, no. I'm going to surprise cockfaggot. Nice. Okay, as you should, yes. Alright. And then as I'm coming up underneath it... Yeah, so you run, you dive, you slide directly underneath the palm of this thing.

[01:25:46] Pull out my finger gun and... A. Let's see, what am I calling it today? Um... His list. I love it. Yeah, we're going to go with Firestorm of Hell. Okay, cool. If the thing can talk. No. No. Because we're putting the... I'm putting this shot into both its mouth and its anus.

[01:26:13] So I'm going to call it the, um, Picante Breakfast Burrito. What? What? If it could speak, it would be like, isn't that just Scorching Ray? Yeah. It's certainly going to feel like it! Alright, it's the Chipotle Surprise. Okay, so I rolled a 17 on my touch attack. I definitely hit him. Yeah. And I'm in an ideal location.

[01:26:43] What is the touch attack? I'll check that. Oh yeah. I mean, that's not that little, it's not that low, but it's definitely this and that parameter. Goddammit, I actually have to look this, this is how long it's been since we played DOW. I'm sorry. I thought you guys liked Esoterica. I do. Love Esoterica. I'm not complaining. It's just been a while.

[01:27:13] Don't you have the, uh... Oh no, actually, I do have the book. You want the physical large spell book. Um, that would be great. Moving forward. At the moment, I already have it up. Okay. So is it possible to get three attacks per round? Like base attack bonus to the point that there's three or more? Yeah. You get five. Every time you level up. Once you level up. Every time you level up, your base attack bonus gets up.

[01:27:40] Every time your lowest base attack bonus, so you're two, when that hits six, you get another attack at plus one. Okay, cool. Uh, fighters can get up to five, I think. I don't know what guns are going to do. I don't know. Cause it seems like this is kind of based on having multiple, so... Yeah. Oh! No! I get to double finger guns him! Why? Cause I get two now. Ah, nice. Nice. Yeah.

[01:28:12] Okay, now let's just use these blue ones, cause... Okay, so then one definitely hits, the other one is a one. The other is even better, so they get it. Um, okay. So the first one hits for...13. Okay.

[01:28:43] 14. So...27. 27? Okay. Okay. Uh, okay. Um, yeah, basically a blast goes through, like, like basically a blazing ray. You, uh, there's a glow up about the entire field as there are dual blasts of, of, uh, searing pain, or searing fire through in, like goes actually through it, but it falls to the, kind of crumples a little bit to the ground behind you. Um, dust kind of kicks up, you kind of see a little bit more of it a little bit.

[01:29:13] Actually no, you don't see any of it in through the dust, through mundane dust. It's really only through that glitter dust that you know you can see it. Um, but then it gets up and readjusts itself to... Oh, sorry. The glitter dust sticks. Oh no, no, it sticks. Okay. I just mean like, it crumples to the ground into the dust. The dust doesn't go around it or anything like that. Like you can't see it, like invisibly through the dust, through, through mundane dust. Okay. Um, but then, yeah, just basically, it takes, it's, it's definitely been injured, but as

[01:29:42] there is some kind of icker on the ground. How much did you hurt it? For 27. That's still fine? Yeah. Well, I don't know about fine, but it might be getting back up. It's not dead. It's getting back up, yeah. Um, take me a second. So even if I rolled two tens on here, it would have died. Sounds like that's a no. Mm-hmm. Now if it's two tens and they both critted, then he would have turned into a mist.

[01:30:11] So, um, next actually is, probably. Uh, the one that is attacking, um, you good sir. So, uh, it's already on... Thing one or thing two? Thing one. Okay. Is attacking you. So I'm going to roll its damage, because it's already, it's still gnawing at you. Yes. Um, that is going to be another 14. Okay. That always drove me crazy in the Addams Family. What? You had Thing and It.

[01:30:43] I, I still have a hard time. There needs to be one called The Stuff. Yeah. The Thing, It, and Stuff. There's actually a Roger Corman horror movie called The Stuff. Called The Stuff. Which is basically just yogurt from the ground. It, Stuff. Things. Yeah. Mmhmm. But yeah, that's its turn. It basically just gets a free... It bites me again? Yeah, it just bites onto you. Okay. And you are still grappled. So... Okay. You will continue to take... So now it's my turn? Yep. Oh, um, actually... Or...

[01:31:11] It is, sorry, uh, it is actually... Yeah, it's Wayland's turn. Yeah. He already went. Balthazar went already. You went twice? Nope. Because he was first, overall. I have gone twice now. Have you? Yes. What did you do twice? The first time, I erected a shield of Peasant. Oh, yeah. Yeah, peasant. Okay. I worried about our peasant first. Yeah. Mmhmm. Okay. Farmhand John.

[01:31:40] So yeah, um... I guess I'll just try to get out of the grasp. Okay. That would be your combat maneuver against its combat defense. Okay. That's pretty good. 25. That... Yeah, you wrestle through it a little bit, but you eventually, like, kick it off. Cool. Um, and it drops to the ground and, like, is... As he just, like, holds a stance in front before you.

[01:32:10] Is that an entire action or move equivalent action? That is actually a full round action, because it is a grapple. Like, so... You can maybe move another 5 feet back. That's about it. What's your character's name? Me? Wayland. Wayland, yeah. Hey, Wayland! That's one hell of a hand job! Not helping! Jesus! Um, and then it is, um... Yeah, so are you gonna move back another 5 steps, or...? Yeah, I'll get a little distance. Okay.

[01:32:38] So you're now, like, about 10 feet away from it. Um... So, it is now actually your hand. It is going to, uh, lash out at you. Um, so... It's gonna try to... That is going to be a... a 30. That hits. Um, barely.

[01:33:07] Well, it's 19, plus 11. Da-da-da! 14 damage. And you're grappled. As... You feel the... the claws kind of dig in. I feel like we need Hodge's armor. He does have mage armor. Did you not cast on your soul? Is mage armor already on you? Mage armor's already on me. Okay.

[01:33:35] Um, yeah, so basically you're grappled, and as the, yeah, basically gnashing teeth from its palm are ripping into you. Or trying to rip into you, so... Inconvenient. Um, and then it is a top of the round. So, uh, Valthazar. Okay. Um, you can either try and break out of the grapple. Or... Um, cause that... that makes sense, right? Like, a full... like this thing's... Basically, like, you're on a full grapple, so you're trying to break out of it, right?

[01:34:05] Yeah. No, that makes sense. Um, I'm actually going to, uh, cast a spell instead. Okay. Um, which means that I have to make a spellcraft check to try to cast it, because... While you're in combat. ...I'm grappled. Yeah. Uh, and let's see, with my spellcraft of plus 17, that takes me to a 32. I think that's going to do it. Alright. Alright. We can live with that. Alright, so, um, my size increases by a category. Okay. I'm now a large-sized creature.

[01:34:35] Okay. As it's like... Except I can't talk. No. Or... I'm a grower, not a shower. It's on your shoulder. Yeah. It's a sweet hold. It's gnawing on your shoulder. Um, yeah, actually, kind of like that. I hit him... Now my hand is the same size as it.

[01:35:05] I think you can't find it, actually, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Uh, so what is your, uh, so is that all you can do, though, for that run? That's all I can do. Okay. Uh, well, it is then, um... Well, actually, no. I'm using my move action to, uh, start running towards that barrier that I made. Okay. Cool. Alright, so you do that. Um, it'll be the next round. Okay. How big you are now. Uh, he's huge now. Okay. He's large. Sorry, he's large. Sorry. I say huge for descriptions, not for the status. Not for size status. I understand. Um, yeah.

[01:35:35] So he's large now. Yes. Um, you see him with the creature on his shoulder gnawing at it. Yes. Um, and, uh, you are standing off against, um, the one that you're at, and, uh, it is going to, uh, try and lash out again. Does it go before me? Yep. Okay. Sorry, Matt. That's fine. Like, basically, the one before Balthazar goes after you, and the one, or sorry, the one after Balthazar goes after you, and the one that goes after you goes after him. So...

[01:36:05] The one after me goes after him. No, like, in the initial rounds. It goes after me, but it goes after him too. In the initial rounds. Yeah, I understand. It just sounds so... It fumbles. Is that a one? That was a one. Excellent. Even though it has, like, weird physics where it can, like, levitate and stuff, it still tries to use, like, its hands, and it trips over something and crumples on the ground a little bit. Uh, and it's your turn. Okay.

[01:36:34] I'd say it got about five feet, and then it crumpled. So... Alrighty then. Also, I don't think I've ever gone through, like, what things I carry with me. Like, I don't know if I have potions and shit for healing. Uh, yeah, I don't think we actually got that far into shopping. We got hung up on the guns. Yeah, kinda. It kinda did. I mean, it's fine, but it's the way it is. It's fine. Yeah. This is the first technical scenario, basically, for this. Mm-hmm. Okay, well...

[01:37:04] I kinda just wanna attempt fate again and try the dead eye shot again. See if I can get enough to kill it. How far away is it? Uh, it is, um, about five feet away from you. Like, directly in front of you. Uh, what is the max damage of the, your dead eye? Well, it's... What would it be? Two of these. So that's 20. Plus, um... Well, he's not... Does that count as point blank bonus? Uh, I don't know.

[01:37:34] 10 feet? Within... It's five feet away from me now, so... Five feet? Uh, yeah, anything under 30 feet. Oh, okay. Okay, so, 22 damage, I guess, is the max it would do. Okay. Um... Would that potentially kill it if I rolled two 10s? It will not actually kill it at a max damage. Okay, so... But it would, it would get it closer, but it would not kill it. So what I'm gonna do, then, is, um... I'm gonna run towards the large man. Okay. Cause he, the hand is incapacitated and he tripped. Yeah, yeah, he's... So I am free to run. Yeah.

[01:38:03] Um, can I... Do I have to run or shoot, or can I run and shoot? Yeah, um... Left 4 Dead style. I'd say, give you a minus two, but you could run and shoot. Just like pop a shot at him? Yeah, basically, yeah. Okay. I'll do that. It's not exactly a cold shot, but it's not exactly a straight, like, clear shot. Uh... There is exactly a feat for this. Oh really? Oh yeah, there is a running gun, isn't there? Shot on the run. Yeah, shot on the run. But yeah, right now... That just removes like bonuses, or can you not do it without it? It removes penalties. Technically, you can't do it without it.

[01:38:33] I'm going to allow a minus two penalty. I'm going to allow a minus two penalty. Actually, you know what? I don't know what... Because you're doing a complicated maneuver. Actually, you know what? I would even... I'm going to actually raise it to minus four. The same as a cold shot. Mm-hmm. Just because that seems like... Yeah, because you're moving and you're shooting a final penalty. It goes all the way to the end of the wall. Yep. Yeah, I'm going to give you a minus four just like to be more fair on the mechanics of it. Okay. If you want to do that.

[01:39:02] Logistically in game that makes a lot of sense because if you're attacking with a weapon that you're not proficient with, weapon proficiency is a feat as well, then you take a minus four penalty. Yeah. Okay, so I'm taking a minus four to see if I can hit the guy that is flat-footed on the ground. So I'll take a shot. Nope. My gun jammed. Your gun jams, yeah. Yep. I mean it went off the paper. That's normally my rule but I'll let it go. Raspberry. Yeah, you like click.

[01:39:32] Yeah. Click, click, click, click. Dammit. As you're running. Toward the jam. Dammit. So how do I do that? How do I clear the jam? Clear the jam? Spread it on toast. I think it's a... Wow. Actually, what is that? I remember there was something I had to do but I don't remember. I imagine it's probably a gunsmithing check. Yeah, I should say gunsmithing check. Because gunsmithing is a class feature for you. Yeah.

[01:40:00] So that's probably exactly what it is. So maybe like roll plus your level? Well, either way it would be something next round for me. So it would be something next round for me. Yeah. So go ahead. So I'm like, have you done anything to it? Or are you just letting it gnaw? It gets to go before I do. Yeah. So it's just going to gnaw on your shoulder.

[01:40:29] It's going to gnaw, gnaw, gnaw my shoulder. Yeah. That is going to be 10 damage. As it's just gnaw, gnaw, gnaw on your shoulder. And also kind of digging its nails into your shoulder. But mainly it's the palm that's doing the damage. Okay. And that is Balthazar. Okay. So it is Bigazar. Bigfazar. Bigfazar. Bigfazar. Bigfazar. Yes, absolutely.

[01:40:59] Bigfazar. Okay. Well, now I am grabbing little bastard on shoulder. Eep. And just ripping it off. Okay. You like bend it. You pull it up pretty easily. Okay. And then I am taking staff that appear in hand. Because it do that. Yeah. And I am tossing hand in air.

[01:41:30] And it's a home run. Now let's see if I can hit. Yeah. It gets no dex bonus. It gets no dex bonus? No. Because it's literally in a free fall. Yeah. Okay, so flatwood. Okay. Okay. Okay, so that will be a 24. Okay, that definitely hits it. Okay. As you leap, throw it in the air. And get your batting pose ready. Okay. Okay, so that... Where...

[01:41:59] What direction are you batting it? Towards the tower. Towards the tower. Actually no. F that. I am going to try to hit it straight at the ice cage. Okay, so into the... Like down to the ground. Basically you're... You're batting it way, like farther away. You're batting it into the ice. Well, I mean it's a hemisphere of ice. Yeah. So it goes up, I think, 10-15 feet. Okay. And you're probably about 10-15 feet. Yeah, so I'm just making a lateral hit. Really? Okay. Bunting it. Yeah.

[01:42:29] Okay, so my damage is going to be 2 die 4 plus... And then I guess... ...3 4 5. So... 4 and 2, 6 and 5 is 9, plus die 6 of electricity damage. Also add...

[01:42:58] 1 or 2 d6s of smashing damage. Plus 6, so that'll be... 19. 19? Okay. It is not doing too good. As it... As you throw it into the air, you punt it. Like a t-ball. Um... And it goes crashing pretty high speed into an ice wall. Also electrified.

[01:43:28] Um... And like just crumples to the ground. Several of its fingers are broken. It's still moving. But it's not doing too good. That's for a tank. Um... This was the one after Boyland. Okay, cool. Uh... So that was 21 you said? Yeah. Uh... Yeah, basically this thing is just not... It does not look good.

[01:43:56] Like there's ichor and this black blue ichor... He's had a really bad... Splashed against the ice. Like the ice is now kind of becoming a blackish blue. Like coloration. And only now am I loading my gun. Yeah. You don't have a gun in the game. Don't I? No. No, but you know what I do have? A lightsaber. I did give you a lightsaber. Nice. He has a large lightsaber now. Nope.

[01:44:26] Well, the one that... After you. The one that is... Basically has gone unprone. Um... And is... Going after you, uh... Wayland. Okay. So... I'm a 16 foot tall Jedi. Fuck, man. These things are badasses. What's its run speed? Its run speed... Oh yeah, its run... Well, its run speed is 30 feet.

[01:44:56] So it goes the same speed as me. Yeah. And I already got a head start on it. Yeah, but I mean... It was on the ground when it was 5 feet away. I spent an entire round running away. Okay, that's true, yeah. So... So it does not mean I'm 35 feet away? Basically, yeah. Okay. So even if I stand still, it can't catch me. Yeah. So it catches... It's... It won't be able to catch you this round. Yeah. Yeah. I'm saying like... I agree with what you're saying. I know what you're saying. If my next round I don't move, it will catch me next round. Yeah.

[01:45:26] If I move 30 feet again. Actually, I'd say since you're still running, I'd say you're gonna have to run a... Roll a constitution check or for... To save... No, get a con check to... Cause you're still running, right? Or are you... It's not my turn yet! It's still... Okay, fine. I haven't done a thing yet. I'm just saying... It is catching up to you. Fine. But it is not at you yet. Fine. Yeah. I will say that. But it is gaining ground. Okay. So, it is your turn. Okay. Wait.

[01:45:55] Is it? I thought it's his turn. No, it's actually your turn. Yeah, sorry. Yeah. The creatures go after... Or before everybody. So, yeah. Okay. How far am I... How far am I away from him? Him? Yes. You're near the ice. You weren't too far off. I'd say, honestly, you're... I'm probably there. You're basically at the ice as the other... The crumpled one is like limping up from its impact. Okay. So, you basically arrive on the scene.

[01:46:25] Like, you're within... You guys are all basically now in within like five, ten feet of each other. Okay. And you said, um... It would be a crafting check to clear the jam on my gun? Uh... Yeah. Because I was trying to look... It would be a craft... Yeah, it would be a gun. I was trying to find it during the, um... Your guys' round. Yeah, I'd say you use your crafting check. Okay. So, I will attempt to do that. It's... Uh, 19.

[01:46:55] That does it. Okay. So... That is basically a full round, though. Action. Is it? I think that would be. It's like being prone. Oh, well then I'll have to... You're literally only spending six seconds. Yeah. I figured it would be... Clearing a gun jam in six seconds is actually pretty good. It's actually pretty impressive. I figured it would just be like ejecting the shell. Because it didn't load properly. Either way. Okay. If it's a full round action, I'm not doing that. I assumed it would be a move action I should have asked first.

[01:47:23] So in that case, I'm just gonna... Because I'm... Hang on. I suppose actually, depending on how well you did... Mm-hmm. You could go with that. I could just look it up. Alright, go look it up. Yeah, I couldn't find anything on jams. I was finding stuff where like... Saying that better quality stuff has a reduced chance of jamming. Yeah. But I couldn't find anything talking about what a jam does and how you clear it and... Could also just use the Hulu rule for that. Could.

[01:47:54] If the Pathfinder ones don't... Because Pathfinder generally, you don't have firearms. Either way, it's not too big of a deal because I do have a buckle gun. Mm-hmm. Are you looking it up or are you just... Yep. Go. Firearm rules. Actually, because I don't have it written down, can I get the stats for like a large knife? A large knife? Oh yeah, it's basically the same as a short suit. I think it's a deep wall. Short suit. If the natural result of your attack role falls within a firearm's misfire value, that

[01:48:21] shot misses, even if you would otherwise hit the target. When a firearm misfires, it gains the broken condition. While it has the broken condition, it suffers the normal disadvantages that broken weapons do. And its misfire value increases by 4 unless the wielder has gun training in the particular type of firearm. In that case, the misfire value increases by 2 instead of 4. So, daggers a deep wall. From the sounds of it, you can still use it after you've misfired once.

[01:48:51] It just makes it harder for me to hit? No. It just increases the odds that it will screw up again. And if it screws up again, then it's... Because it's currently broken. Yeah. So, you do take a penalty and it increases the likelihood that it will misfire further. And it looks like the... Yeah. Yeah.

[01:49:21] So, it's got the broken condition, which means that it takes, I believe it's a minus 4 penalty. Okay. Yeah. To attack rolls. And your... The misfire increases by 4. So, if it was 1 to 4 before, now it's 1 to 8. I didn't even write down what the misfire was originally. I can't remember. On a normal gun. But either way. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:49:48] And my assumption is that if you misfire again, then it will... Completely jammed. Yeah. And it's completely jammed. So, yeah. Alright. So, I guess it's assumed that the first time it's a dud round. Okay. Yeah. And it doesn't matter if it's a second time in a row, it's just second time total. Second time total, if you haven't removed the broken condition. And then you'd have to use that... Which would be the crafting check. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna have a little bit better.

[01:50:17] Alright, well... So, if that's the case, then yeah. Then you don't have to... Then yeah, you can basically fire again. Okay. But, um... What we'll do is... So, I'm basically near the dome. Did the dome break? From the impact of... I don't know. How scary is that, sucker? 2d6 damage to it? Nope. Not if it's not fire damage. Nope. It's just blunt force travel. And the dude's still in there bleeding to death? Yes.

[01:50:44] I would say that the dome is cracked. Yeah. You can pound your way through them. They don't have that many hits. There's definitely some cracks and it's splattered with some... Okay. It's only like 30 or something hit points. I was just asking because... It's actually measured in how many inches thick you make it. Okay. Yeah. Actually, it's a hardness thing, isn't it too? Yeah. Okay, I was only asking because if it was broken, I would have taken the guy and ran off. Oh, okay. But it's not, so I can't. You know, left me to handle the hands? Yes.

[01:51:14] Nice. I mean, you're doing much better so far. Yeah. But yeah, so you guys are all basically... Or left with him. Essentially got him out of a combat situation. Yeah. Well... And then I have, you know, long range weaponry. I suppose in this case it is the size that counts. Exactly, yes. Okay, so essentially arrived there. So I'm going to...

[01:51:43] I can, for a move action, how far can I go? If I wanted to move to a location slightly further away and then shoot, is it my entire speed or is that the speed? You can actually do half your speed and do that, right? Sorry, what? Okay, he wants to move, he'll see how far he can move away before, so then he can like, you do something like do shooting or something like that. Ah, okay. Okay, so you've got a move equivalent action and a standard action. Yeah. Attacking is a standard action, move equivalent is a move equivalent.

[01:52:11] So you can move and attack, your movement would be 30 feet. Oh, so because I spent... Okay, well I did move and attack last time, but if I did spend a full round action moving, wouldn't that be 60? If I don't attack? If I just run? No, that is if you just walked. Or lightly jogged. You ran. If you ran quickly, it's four times your base.

[01:52:36] So you guys actually, you guys were actually in a large, in a very small, you guys weren't in a huge area, like distances. Oh I know. Basically like, really the creature didn't actually like so much like barely catch up to you, so much as it took its time to get up from prone, then ran its way over to you. Like you were already there, like it's only like 20-30 feet between anything. And now you guys are in like a 10 foot space between any of them. Oh. I mean like if I ran last round, that means I'm 120 feet away from where I started running.

[01:53:06] If you didn't stop. Yeah. But basically, yeah. I am up, I could get up to that far away. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Okay. Technically there is a melee attack option called a charge. Yeah. On a charge, you move double your movement speed, so you'd be moving 60 feet. Yeah. And you get an attack at the end of it. Mm-hmm. But, your attack must end at the end of your movement. So, if it's 45 feet and then you attack, your movement ends at 45 feet.

[01:53:34] You can't continue for 15 feet past your attack. Yeah. That would be a ride by attack or, um, well basically what shot on the run does. Yeah. Okay. Also, I just realized, because I'm using, um, lever action, do I have to spend an attack action actually racking it? No. Um, uh, racking it would be, uh, as a removal, uh, would probably be considered a free action.

[01:54:03] Reloading it would be considered a move action depending on how many rounds it holds and how many you're putting in. Okay. Um, with this, in D20 Cthulhu, it says that you can reload two bullets per round. Okay. That's if you do nothing but reload? That's if you do nothing but reload. So, could you load one and fire one? Um, okay. Okay. So, that's taking into account that you need to eject in a cartridge, uh, eject in a cartridge and then put a new one in.

[01:54:33] Turn it. Eject. Put a new one in. That's a full round. Okay. But me with the Winchester though. If you spent a full round action just doing this, then on your next round, uh, on your next round, you could load two and fire or you could load six. Oh, damn. Okay. But, is that the same kind of situation for me? I'm thinking it's probably a pretty similar situation. Cause I do have to eject it, but it's just a lever. It's quicker, right?

[01:55:03] So, racking it would be a free action. Loading two would be a move equivalent action. Cause it does require some manual dexterity. Um, if you wanted to reload the whole thing, how many does it hold? Six. Okay. So, if you wanted to reload the whole thing, then I would say that it's a full round action. Okay. Yeah. I was just asking cause like, if I have to move rack, that's the end of my move. If that's the end of my round, fine. But if I, if I can move and rack it, then shoot, then fine. Okay.

[01:55:33] So, cause I said I ran last time. Yeah. I, that means I can go upwards to 120 feet. Cause four times my speed. So you aren't stopping at the ice ball. You're in fact going. I'm going past, um, I'm going to run to, um, 60 feet away from him. Okay. So you are at the next, uh, you're basically either on a fence or you're at the next scarecrow. I'm getting, I'm getting literally to my max range.

[01:55:58] And then, um, and then at that point I will turn around and, uh, fire a shot at the one that was, that hit the dome. Oh, the one that hit the dome. Okay. Yeah. The one that is more wounded. Let's at least take one out. Yeah. That'd be nice. Yeah. So I'm going to attempt to do that. Yeah. So you just like. I mean, I have one gun, not two, but yes. I was actually like, what that one? It has a blade on it. I did that. It has a blade on it. Fine. Just, it's, it's like that. Don't try to be.

[01:56:27] It's just like a pistol. It's like this. It's bam. You're good. Fine. He could do it like this. That's true. Oh my God. For the eyes at home, Aaron is holding the, uh, a cult, uh, and the other pistol or cult revolver upside down. I believe, I believe Brooklyn nine, nine, nine refers to this as upside downsies. Upside downsies. Yeah. Nice. All right. Anyway, that doesn't, roll your attack.

[01:56:56] No, that's, that's the, uh, where he's like using. Oh, he's using his pinkies. Oh yeah. That's right. He uses his pinkies to shoot. Yeah. That's what he's doing. But sideways. Oh, it's gangster style. It's gangster style upside downsies. Yeah. It's retarded. It's awkward. It's so dumb. Yeah. Well, to be fair, the guns are, are actually people that, so like they're actually got a mind of their own and stuff like that. Are we, we talking about, uh. Soul take. Soul. Soul later. Yeah. Anyways, roll. Yeah. Roll your attack.

[01:57:29] 12. 12 does not hit it. To a flat footed guy? Flat footed does not hit it. Fuck. All right. Do you hit Naren? I know. It wasn't a fail. It wasn't a fail. He doesn't do that anymore. Okay. Uh, he has, um. Oh yeah. I took a perk, so that's gonna happen. Cool. Plus he's not in melee with that. I know, I know. Well you guys are more than like five to me. I'm pretty big. Yeah. He is also pretty big. You might hit the broad side of a barn. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Apparently I can't hit the broad side of a barn. Yeah. So yeah, you miss.

[01:57:59] I think I'm 11 or 12 feet tall right now. Now, don't you have another shot? What? Don't you have two attacks? Uh, but he moved. Oh, you did move. Well no, actually, because I was saying for my previous action, because I ran the entire time, that's where I got to. Oh, okay. Then yeah, yeah. He's got another shot. He's got another shot. Oh my God. I'll do it again. Oh, actually no. Yes, he does. He does. He does. Yeah. Uh, 12, 13, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. That will definitely hit his flat foot. Yes.

[01:58:29] Alright, cool. Everyone. Robin has another shot. Did he see an arrow? Went off the... I want that to be my thing. Okay, but... Oh no, I'm going to hold to it. See, it's a one. Okay. Uh, plus a... No, not a one. That's one damage. One damage? Okay. He is not dead. What a surprise. He's like... You broke his nail. Actually, something on his, uh, on his knuckle, like on one of the knuckles, pops.

[01:58:58] And it kind of like freaks out a little bit, but it's still like, just kind of almost like an angry, like pain. Trying to get the ones out of the way first. Okay, nice. Stop it. Alright. Uh, great. Uh, but the one that's... Since you, uh, like... The one that's, um... Actually, it's that one. It's actually that one that's like, been shot. Um, it's going to... What? I guess...

[01:59:26] Try to attack you again? Is this your closest? Before it does, I'm going to cast my firework spell. Okay. And my spectral music spell. And then scream out, It's my birthday! It's my... Oh my god. For Ragnarok. Oh. Like, Max is like, there's gotta be a weapon on this thing. Yeah, there's a weapon. And he hits it and fireworks fire on it. And there's like, like music. And it's just like a hologram of, uh, Jeff Goldblum as the game... As the, uh, as the, uh, the Grandmaster's like, It's my birthday!

[01:59:57] And it actually like, stuns the, uh, the enemy pilot into like crashing. Nice. She's just like... Cause, cause it's Jeff Goldblum's ship and, and it's his orgy ship, so it doesn't actually have any weapons on it. Oh, yeah. He's a pleasure boat. Gotcha. Okay. Um, so... That wasn't for real, right? No, I don't have the Spectrum Music spell. I'm sure we did. Um, it's going to try and attack you. Um, in it's last like, throws basically.

[02:00:25] Um, is it closing into melee? Uh... It has to, right? Kinda, I guess, yeah. And I have a reach weapon, so I get an attack of opportunity. You can also just stomp on it. It's going for you that huge. The thing is, I have a, because I have reach, I have a, I have a, I have a, I have a reach, I get an attack of opportunity. Okay. So I kinda have to use the weapon. Okay. So you just like, poof, I'm stabbed. Yep. Yep, that's pretty much exactly it. Um, okay, so that'll be a 22.

[02:00:56] 22's gonna hit it. Cool. Also, it would've rolled a 19 to attack you. Does his hit stop the attack? If it doesn't kill him? Yeah, basically. Cause it's attack, he gets the attack of opportunity, so. No, but that stops any potential incoming attack from its round? Yeah, cause it's basically running at him, and then he basically like, is able to ward it. So it's entire round. It's like when somebody's running at you with a sword, and then you, but you know it's coming, and so you just like, like get him. Or like, as he's like, ah!

[02:01:26] It'll be 17. 17 damage? Oh, it's dead. It just like, as it's like coming at your leg, and it just writhes a little bit, and then just kind of starts melting. I did, I thawed that shit. Yeah, it basically just starts melting into that black-blue ichor, mixed with the purple glitter, and just creates a pool. And then it is about to start, actually. And there is one more.

[02:01:55] It is actually chasing over toward, uh, um, uh, towards a- It's probably next to you by now. Yeah, it's basically passing the ice ball and stuff at this point. Okay, I'm going to, uh, shake my fist and make that disappear, and instead draw something else. Shhh! Who is that? No, no, no, no! It's something that makes a bachew! I do like the bachew noise.

[02:02:27] And because of my size category- How do you ask, is that, did I, cause it, it was a Pathfinder constructed one. Does it have any, like, special things against things? No. Oh, so it's just a- It does have- Positive energy, wasn't it? Uh, no. No, but it does bypass all armor. Okay, cool. So basically, you're going to be using its flat-footed- Or no, touch attack. Uh, yes. Okay. Um, so that'll be a, uh, thirteen and six is-

[02:02:57] Nineteen. Nineteen damage or- Nineteen to hit. Oh, it hits, yeah. On touch attack, it hits. Because I'm a large-sized creature, my dice changed. It went from three die eight to six die six. Jesus! Because a die eight turns into two die six? Yeah. Okay. It's a whole fucking two. This is five. Nine. I don't know. Get some of my luck. Eleven. Maybe that won't-

[02:03:26] That means I won't have that bad luck anymore. Nineteen. Nineteen? I'm still dead anyway. So, you manage to slice off a bunch of the tentacles, but it's still gone. You basically sear off some of the tentacles that are like in this, like above it. Um, that was already 19 you said? Or how much was it? Thirty-two. Nineteen. Nineteen? Nineteen. Oh, um, hold on. Before you write that down.

[02:03:56] See, I rolled a 19 and I didn't take into account that it has a critical threat range. Oh. Oh. So- Yeah, it did roll a 19, yeah. I might confirm. Okay. I might confirm. Fifteen and six is 21. What? Twenty-one. Is 21 confirmed? Oh, yeah. So, 19 times two. Nineteen times two. So, it's dead. Thirty-eight.

[02:04:26] Thirty-eight? Thirty-eight. Thirty-eight. Does not kill it. It is in half for part- like you basically lop off all the tentacles and one of its fingers, like its pinky, but it's still like lopping towards you like it's like must get asshole. It really hates me. But yeah, it is not too into good. It's got the taste for my blood, that's why. Yeah. Um.

[02:04:55] I'm surrounded by asshole. It's just- Yeah, so, it is next to it is um- Waylon. Actually, it's this creature's turn. Is it? Yeah. So, it just does a full- like you only ran about thirty feet or so? I was sixty feet away from where Balthazar was. And it's running- it's basically just gonna charge at you at this point. That's fine. It's just gonna do a full charge. So, I'm gonna use the combat maneuver because that would be a bull rush kind of thing, right?

[02:05:22] Um, it could be a bull rush if you wanted it to be, or it could be a charge attack. I would say it's a charge attack- I would say it's a charge attack- Charge attack is- it's double the speed and you can do that attack at the end, right? Yeah. Okay. So- So, it would be uh- is there anything added to the charge attack? Like- Yes, it gets a plus two bonus to attack and damage, but it takes a minus two penalty to its AC. That's fine. Also, it's closing into melee, so if you have a melee weapon in hand, which- No. You don't. You get an attack bomb. I technically do.

[02:05:51] I guess it does have a- It's still a bit on it. No, it's a gun blade. Oh yeah, that's true, yeah. Okay. So, I'm gonna roll this just to see if it does- in case you fail. That was an 18. Times two, so it's about- well that's gonna be- really- You hit me. It doesn't matter. It's a 32 at the very least. So it's definitely gonna hit you.

[02:06:21] Yeah. But you can roll your attack of opportunity because it is running to melee and you do technically have a melee weapon ready. Okay. Also, that 1d4 he told me, was that for a dagger or for like a knife? The 1d4 was for a dagger. Which is a knife. A dagger. They're not a knife. They're the same things in D&D. They're not. It's the equivalent, man. Like, there is no, like, pathfinder equivalent. If you think of it, the dagger is really a- the difference in D&D terms is a dagger is Like, I will put this way, Dave. Whereas a knife is single-bladed. Yeah. Because if you think about it, a bowie is a knife.

[02:06:51] Yeah. It's this fucking big. Yeah. A short sword is still a d4. Okay. I'm just making sure. No, a short sword is a die six. Really? Because I use that as a- Either way, I don't want it to be the same strength as a short sword because it's also a gun. So I'm fine with this. I was just- I was just checking. Okay. Because if it's the- if it's like the damage of like a pocket knife, then it's like, no, it's bigger than that. A pocket knife, like a folding knife that literally goes in your pocket is a die three of damage. Yeah. In D&D. Or a die two depending on if it's like a little pen knife. Yeah.

[02:07:21] But most folding knives with like a four or six inch blade are a die four. Okay. So just roll damage or hit? No. Roll attack. Because you're- You're trying to- Just making sure. I didn't know if I got the hit for free. No. Because it's 20. I rolled a four. I rolled a five. I rolled a four to confirm. Uh, 16 plus my base attack bonus of seven. Yeah. That actually confirms. So you do double damage on your- Double damage on your- On your head. On this shank.

[02:07:50] Okay. Dave, you had your beer right. Yes, right. Okay. So, it is just charging like it's- it look- it's- like blood is- like this ichor, black kicker is like flowing behind it like almost like a jet stream as it is just propelling itself it's just like and then as it like leaps out to like do it's like grapple at you like to charge at you

[02:08:19] and like pull you down and try and bite your head off or something within this invisible maul you just like stab it and it basically like you get pushed a couple of feet but it basically just dies on your um on your gut as you like basically stick it into like the mouth into the mouth it doesn't close down or anything you don't feel any teeth it goes down and it just kind of melts over

[02:08:44] your hand and your weapon to the ground uh into that same blue black anchor um and that is the end of combat okay that was easy you guys are like both sweating probably you're like completely covered in this black blue shit yeah well i mean you can't tell on me my skin you got blue on you

[02:09:07] from my knees down and on your shoulder oh well yeah first situation actually actually that's that was no that's just bloody okay or yeah it's black yeah it's wound yeah very from itself uh wound um so it was um my scorching ray that uh did my initial damage so that's caught or i shut that's true

[02:09:28] yeah um so uh you shrink down i guess and as the lightsaber of course um the ice kind of crumbles around like without harming anything like the person falls on the castle no well oh oh so i'm

[02:09:46] gonna crash it crushes his leg or like it falls no it falls where his leg would have been i preemptively knew i had to shoot his leg off sure um he's just he's uh looking very pale um he's clinging to life like he's got a point left before he dies uh do you do you have any healing skill because i got nut

[02:10:16] yeah i do i got 10 on you okay because i get a plus nine to heal i mean it's not real healing i mean i have a plus 10 it's the same we're doing the same thing i just have one extra on you basically you're doing first aid yeah as opposed to be healed yes essentially angelic hordes come forth yes let's see if i can do that

[02:10:42] thing yeah 17 17 yes you are able to stabilize him cool he is not going to die now but he does need help i just don't feel like wasting a potion also you do recognize him it's um joe jacob jacob heimerschmitt it's uh joe jacob or it's uh john jacob oh okay well it is an alliteration yeah yep john jacob

[02:11:10] save you john yeah of the no of the finkelheimer farm he's the farm man for the finkelheimer farm and that is going to be a thing now yep john jacob uh finkelheimer then and then two people that oh jingelheimer yeah well i like you know finkelheimer though okay it doesn't finkelheimer farm

[02:11:36] it's an alliteration yeah i was gonna say so his name is john jacob and then what is it what's the actual jacob jingleheimer schmidt jingleheimer schmidt yeah so jingleheimer and schmidt are two people that own the farm jingleheimer and schmidt yes and he just works for them okay so so it'd be like thieve schmidt or something of shingle jingleheimer jingleheimer and schmidt if you want a proper alliteration it should be sean schmidt

[02:12:05] oh there you go that's better um schmidt wow we are creating lore yes all right so uh yeah jake john jacob is not doing too good but he will you can get him to a like a proper like medical attention in town cool um you throw him in the car with the body well actually as you get back actually the

[02:12:32] uh witches can handle it yeah well which is also in town um but as you guys take are you just like basically fire fire manning him like on your on your um your shoulder or something like that i'm not gonna drag him yeah yeah exactly no i'll drag him by the bad leg tensor's floating disc he is levitating in the air oh well i've got a disc for that wizards it's gonna have for that yeah also

[02:12:57] wizards yeah all right so he is uh you go his head back to the tower um the body is clear the james and my gut doesn't block him of course can you can i do that during like um like roleplay situations yeah instead of doing other things yeah well you guys are well while you're walking and so then and like going to you don't have to do it while i'm combater okay but i roll for it or give it to me during you can do uh roll just roll one just because like if i don't get it this

[02:13:26] time i gotta continue trying to fix it kind of deal oh you could also just take a 10 or something like that so what's the limitation of taking a 10 you let me do once a day is it a once a day spell that i get as dave it's not a spell no i'm saying oh yes dave i get a spell yeah so taking a 10 is um when you are in a non-pressure uh semi-pressure to non-pressure pressure situation yeah you can take a 10 on pretty much any of your skills like walking back from the farm field back to the tower

[02:13:54] would not you could just take a 10 and but i can't take it on trying to save the guy's life no that is yeah you could yeah that the the thing with that is like the failure isn't that bad so you can just like for like the guns thing but with like him like that the failure there would kill him in terms of in terms of uh how the logic behind it works if you could legitimately spend a minute focusing on what you're doing then you can take a 10 if you have an hour that you could spend focusing

[02:14:22] on something then you could take a 20 okay yeah all right so you guys so yeah i'll take a 10 um yeah the body or the john is getting carded i'll clear the jam and have a talk with my horse spirit gun don't you jam it on me you asshole um there's a bleeding jam out of his mouth yeah asshole sorry wayland i got uh performance anxiety

[02:14:53] is that a boner joke yes he goes whoop whoop whoop whoop as well why not he's a silly little demon um but you guys arrive back my big bone you guys arrive back to the tower um and the body of ignatius is not in the cart i

[02:15:09] knew it um you can all roll me perception checks fucking knew it i should hide him down or use him as a backpack while i ran 13 okay wait is that 9 17 that's a 9 actually sorry 19 19 you guys both see um drag marks behind the um

[02:15:39] uh behind the the behind the wheelbarrow who's dragging going toward going oh no um what nothing drag mark sounds like the name of a monster no um it's the marks the the drag marks go farther like go toward the edge of um uh town basically like you basically at about a half uh it's you can see the edge of town and actually are there footprints footprints no there are no are there handprints like

[02:16:10] there also you realize like there were no footprints these things don't leave prints yeah they can actually fly yeah i'm essentially just figuring out whether or not he woke up and crawled away no someone showed up and took him that's a normal person or if these hand things showed up and took him it is likely that another one of those hand things did because you guys noticed while you were fighting them that they weren't leaving marks in the dirt or anything like that yeah it's just the only time they were noticeable is the smell that they give off um or that and that that purple outline

[02:16:40] that uh from the ones that he used glitter dust on yes um the smell you do also get a slight wafting of the smell um going in the direction of where the the drag marks are what i wouldn't give for a grumble hound right now you don't even know what a grumble hound is even like this character doesn't know what a grumble hound is right now are you sure yeah pretty sure you don't blink dog don't you at home do yeah you had a blink dog you had two two yeah two and they were and they were they were your pets

[02:17:10] they were friends they were your companions but they weren't like pets but then you got stolen away and now you're here can you not send a message to somebody um that's a good question what spells do i have like that gravity bow snapdragon firework wave shield gust knock make hold he has so many more options than i do

[02:17:39] i have to shoot bullets he's a wizard invisibility what's my advantage i don't understand ice slick you're good at shooting lighten bolt hydraulic torrent to dispel magic deep slumber shrink item ice fears beast shape wall of ice beast shape 2 lesser gears refer of wind no i do not have any messaging spells great so there's no way you can come until you find a messaging spell maybe a scroll up in the uh wizard's tower you can't contact okay

[02:18:09] well we'll see if there's one up there that said i can make a scroll with spells that i don't have that is true yeah that's actually a thing it only increases the dc to make the item by 5 yeah um also as this is going on like as you guys are like realizing like oh shit you're missing the body both of you roll will saves you get a plus 2 i get a plus 2 no no i do that's fine i don't need it are you serious plus 2 it's a 3

[02:18:39] you it's a 3 you give me plus 2 you still tumble over or you get a more nauseating feeling because you were just like you're exhausted and you're used to this this thing this feeling okay um you 27 there is you did a little bit better than me so there is um you don't it's still daylight outside um but there is a glow coming from town like around like succumbing like circumferencing around town uh like glow emanating from just outside of town yeah shit

[02:19:08] and you hear hang on you hear a thrumming and then you fall over just because like you're kind of feeling kind of queasy from like the fight and like exhaustion and then this happens i did do a lot of running you understand what this is um and then nothing happens the thrumming stops um it's over uh do you uh pursue the um the uh

[02:19:37] actually sorry roll me a perception check uh just Aaron because you already know am i passed out no you're not passed out you just know what's happening uh that'll be a 16 16 the sky's different it's uh a sunset suddenly um um and there's mountains off in the far distance like in beyond like the farm fields and stuff where there should be ocean okay intelligence check

[02:20:06] i think i've put two and two together that we are no longer in the same place yep um this doesn't look like kansas anymore mm-hmm and then your character's like i get that reference i get that i get that reference um how do you get that what's hilarious is that it's actually a wizard of us quote or wizard of us reference and and that is exactly what cap says yeah um in reference to the same movie yeah so

[02:20:36] do you guys uh pursue the um the trail uh yeah yeah it isn't it didn't like that fight was like maybe what a minute less than a minute it does not take that it will not take that uh it's not that quick to get out of town like get from the tower to the edge especially when the guy's dead yeah so so the thing is drag whatever one of these other things is dragging the body okay all right well i guess uh

[02:21:07] yep i guess uh and you've killed two mm-hmm um now here's the thing is that as you guys are going to go that direction do we want to call it now because it is 1142 and i do have to work yeah probably and maybe next week um other christians you're welcome maybe i'll have my dds printed out and a list of the things i have on me now a um un uh a un well a you've been volunteered as a citizen of town now

[02:21:37] or you are now a passenger with the town as it is travel to another place and time uh what are the uh the things that you use grit with called deeds deeds yeah yeah you better remember to move those off yes all of them are well most of them are um involving shooting bullets at things or purposefully missing things to cause a um

[02:22:07] cause something to happen yeah because like you essentially startle someone make them fall over by purposefully missing yeah um actually yeah so end of the game um comments questions is that fun i love missing things you didn't miss a whole lot of things yeah when it was point blank and you shot the second time i know i didn't miss twice yeah um i didn't miss both times would you guys think of the begotten hands so far um yes they're

[02:22:36] did you want to see the uh the actual illustration of what they look like when they're completely coated in something or they're not invisible they are never they are innately invisible um so not even like purge and invisibility will not work on them so there's no way to like the only way the only way to do it is to spray something that that corpse does stuff on them like the glitter does modify to them um it is actually based off of something from low craft oh okay dave yes you need uh there's an

[02:23:06] app you need for your phone that is what they look like oh that was what was biting you okay that's nice a tri-mouthed maw in their in their i didn't realize that the the wrist ends directly into tentacles like that for some reason i thought of it like hand severed and there were like some random tentacles off the side but there's still the flat severed it's actually like basically like yeah you it's yeah so can i use your phone for a minute uh sure yeah so anything

[02:23:36] else um anything else to bring up for the uh the game like the the investigation into the tower or the that's fine i love the tower yeah i have completely fleshed out the tower if you would like to know more um yes i'd love to see your notes on it can i have the notes on it basically yeah um the tower's treasures including um you'll find out a little bit later where that

[02:24:05] where the what's in the subchamber um but there's yeah a missing tome next to the black book of donnelly and then there's these those weird rocks that are in the book room that are on display they literally just look like salt rocks like lents it's the base of the tower those rocks no it's those rocks no no it's not those these are different rocks they literally just look like like river like large river stones that are just on display in the secret book room okay um and if you touch them something will cool something interesting

[02:24:35] will happen um but yeah basically ignatius was you need to head to wizard's base shit um yeah uh basically i set up the tower to be kind of like the bare skeleton for a for a wizard's tower that for you so i specifically left things vague like what what components and stuff are in the testing uh testing floor the g uh the greenhouses for you to fill okay uh or to mention and

[02:25:05] then there's a book library and like actually your living quarters basically and then the bottom the ground level is where you receive people from town or from outsiders and stuff like that as well as prep to go out and also your kitchen and stuff as well as uh two storage rooms for possible secondary or third uh two or three uh bucks for he's already got his own house yeah he's already got his own house i mean maybe for the nephilim because he may his house i'm thinking i'm thinking that his property has already been basically taken over by somebody else because he's been gone 50 years yeah that's that's

[02:25:35] fair um we show up he's beating the shit out of them yeah which that might be what i ended up doing so he might choose to build his own little shack that's true yeah but i just give that often like the storage rooms would also give me space for apprentices i also don't want to i don't want to give away what's in the in the subchamber just yet you i want you to go there first or to discover that first but right now you guys are dealing with the um the hand and yeah basically while you guys are in combat it's like man that would be a shame if one of those other hands uh came around and uh took the body

[02:26:05] yeah but i don't hands are there um that's up to you guys to find out okay killed two um there's at least four there's at least four because people because i saw one being held being drawn in court yeah so i know that there's at least four each hand would grab one arm or would grab one limb i mean so okay and then he wasn't being decapitated at the same time so there's at least four in the town um maybe more so um that app that i just

[02:26:35] started to download for yes uh when you search gunslinger it actually gives you this is what it gives you everything on the class including your deeds yeah well that's the same as on the uh the website yes except this is an offline support oh okay nice this is um i will actually have the book back with the gunslinger in it next week it's under hybrid i forgot to grab it from uh other dave's place um just use the search

[02:27:03] option and type in gunslinger good which good all right well i'm gonna turn off the recorder then yes you
