(Pathfinder 1e): Dat World! At Myth's End - Episode 3: Hand over Fist

[00:00:00] Myths End had its fair share of strange and peculiar citizens. Sometimes they'd stay, others came and left. The oldest of the living Davidsons still remember when their large neighbors dwelled on the property they later took over.

[00:00:17] When the former residents never returned from beyond the town's borders, they of course waited. They had given it time, a few phases between worlds, before they took up new ownership. They figured the Nephilim wouldn't be returning. Funny how life is. It's not dis world, it's dat world. This is... This is... This is... This is... Two... Seven...

[00:00:46] At Myths End Eight... Six... Two... So we're playing Myths End again. We have Chris again! Yay! Joyous occasion. Yay! I am the other... I am Chris Prime. Wow. Christimus Prime! It's gonna be Christimus Prime. Christimus Prime. There you go.

[00:01:15] The GM. To my right is Crystal Chris. He's playing... Your mother. Who are you guys? I play him Undun Din. And I am a brawler Nephilim. And you... In the last session you've taken me in a scenario where you've taken me to my old home. Yes. It's sent. Also, what is your... Just a quick description of your Nephilim. What does it look like? What does it look like? Um...

[00:01:43] I asked Chris earlier and I don't recall what he said. Well, he's... He's about eight feet tall. He's pretty... I can't plan to... Cut. I guess you could say. Okay. Um... He's Jason Momoa. Uh, yeah. Not much. That's kind of what I'm thinking. Okay, everybody. Yeah, just imagine an eight foot Jason Momoa. Jason Momoa. So, Jason Momoa. Cause I'm pretty sure he's pretty tall. Jason Momoa is awesome. Yeah. He's a fucking funny guy. He's played Conan. He's played a badass...

[00:02:14] Badass bulky dude from... In Stargate Atlantis. I have a feeling... I can never remember his name. Ronin. Ronin, yeah. I have a feeling every single thing that you list that he plays is probably a badass big guy. Yeah. He plays Ronin who's a big ass... Black guy. Big ass... Badass. Yes. He plays Conan. A big ass badass. He plays Aquaman, a big ass badass. Yup. And... Drago? Khal Drago? Yup. Khal Drago. A big ass badass. Feels like he's being tight-cast a little bit.

[00:02:43] I think that's just because Jason Momoa is a big ass badass. You can't really hire him to play a midget. Or... I mean... And he was really funny about one skit in... I think it's in post. I say that and then, you know, you've got Peter Dinklage playing one of the giant dwarves in Ragnarok. Or... And also Gimli who was not tiny. Or sorry, not Ragnarok but... Peter Dinklage in... Peter Dinklage in Infinity War. Oh, I haven't seen it yet. Oh, okay. He plays...

[00:03:13] Hey, it's Dinklage! Who is twice as tall as Thor. But he's a dwarf. Nice. Well, no, that makes sense because they weren't... Like, as in Norse mythology, like giants weren't giants. Yeah. Um, and weren't always giants. And Norse and dwarves were no... Were actually human-sized... Or men-sized. And elves weren't like slender beings. They were usually just normal people. Or they looked like kind of normal folk. They were made fair. With slightly pointed ears, maybe? Slightly. Look at the Dark Elves. They were kind of stereotypical pointy-eared motherfuckers. Anyway...

[00:03:42] Goddamn knife ears. So, um... Fuck you, Spock! So what we're... Yeah, so you were going to... Going over to your... You left earlier that morning, like, after you guys had... They went for rest during... And they were gonna go investigate the wizard's tower... The wizard's tower... The wizard's tower... Prior... But, like, they were gonna investigate the tower... The wizard's tower in the morning. But you left early that morning... Because you wanted to know what had happened to your, um... Like, to Little Canaan.

[00:04:12] Okay. Which is the... For the folks at home, we've established that the town had a... A little Nephilim community. Uh, like, a little neighborhood of, like, three or four Nephilim families... Called Little Canaan. Kind of like Little Italy. Um... So you... You go over to the spot. It's not too far. Like, it's a couple of, like, streets down from the tavern. Um... And you start walking around and you're not... And people are kind of getting out in the morning because it's getting... It's starting... People are starting early in the morning. Uh, despite the... The weariness of, like, somebody...

[00:04:42] Something invisible could kill you. This is the crack of dawn. Um... And you notice that you're not seeing, um... Like, even the home... The properties... The houses look different. Like, you were... Your larger houses that the Nephilim used are gone. They are now smaller, newer, lumber... Like, timber houses. Um... Like, human stuff. They did it! They fucking did it! Um... The... The only house that kind of looks... Looks something like something you remember is...

[00:05:12] Uh, your neighbor's house. Which was... They were... They were humans. Um... As well... Or they were normal men. Um... And women. Um... The Davidsons. Uh... Um... That house is still the same. But all the other houses seem to have been, like, rebuilt. Okay. Um... So... So I'm a little... I'm a little, uh... People are kind of giving me an eye to... Distraught, depressed, like, uh... What... What happened? This used to be my old neighborhood. So I'm... I'm gonna go knock on the Davidsons' door.

[00:05:41] Because at least they're somewhat familiar to me. Yeah. Well, the house at least. You don't know who's in it. And, uh... I'm gonna give them the business. Okay. Um... Well, um... The door opens up. There is a... A woman... Uh... It's everywhere.

[00:06:12] Um... And he comes over. It's like... Can... Can I help you? Sir? Um... Looks up. What happened to the Nephilim community? This is, uh... What? This looks all so strange. Uh... Are you... I thought I... Um... I thought I was gonna, like, bump into, like, some whale buddies and, like, maybe some family And... Oh, uh...

[00:06:41] Where did they go? What happened here? Have you... Who are you? Did you just arrive? Did you just come back into town? I haven't been here for 50 years. Oh! Um... Well, uh... Do you... Well, I'm... I'm... Uh... This guy's about, like, in his... Probably in his 40s or 50s. So he doesn't... You wouldn't have... You wouldn't have known this as a kid. Okay. Um... Uh... You might... Would you like to come inside? Uh... My name's, um... Don Davidson.

[00:07:11] Um... Uh... Mr... Uh... What was your... What was your name? Uh... Undun. Undun. Uh... Yeah, my father might be able to give you... Might be able to explain something. Uh... Cause... The Nephilim have been gone... 45 years? I'll stop you right there. Who... Is your father the oldest person here? Yes, he's... In his... In his 80s. Okay. Um... Bring him to me! Uh... Oh!

[00:07:41] Would you like to come in and... For... For some tea or coffee? Um... No. Okay. Um... Roll an intimidation. I'm not trying to be intimidating! I know! You're being intimidating! Roll to see how intimidating you are. He piss his pants. Piss pants roll. Here we go. Oh god, my intimidate three! Oh, I already! Uh... That's... Seven plus eight. That's fifteen. Uh... He... He hurries away.

[00:08:11] Um... The woman... The woman's like shaking a little bit. He's like, are you sure I can't... Um... Offer you some tea? I can go grab some. Like... If you'd like to just stand out here. I'm just going to, um... Like... Pat her on the shoulder and tell her everything's fine. There's nothing to worry about me. Just because of a giant... She's still like... Your presence is very... You're like three times the size of her. Um... But, uh... A little shortly after... Oh, I'll hunch it twice. I'll hunch it twice. A hunched over man. Um...

[00:08:41] He's probably about five foot. Um... He would have been about five foot. But he's hunched over... So he's four feet tall. Um... He walks over. He's bald. Lots of... Lots of wrinkles. A couple of, uh... Like, blotches on his skin. Um... Mediterranean type. Right. So, um... Or like a very... Like, farmer's tan-y at least. Um... But still blonde hair. Dirty blonde hair. Uh... Or like what's left of white. Maybe some white more than anything. Um... This man is David Davidson.

[00:09:11] I can't get very thoroughly. Um... Oh, he's the neighbor. He is your neighbor from... Uh... He looks up to you in recognition and he's just like... Undun. You... You haven't aged at all. Neither of you. I haven't aged at all. I haven't aged at all. We're all bluff chatting. I... Can see... You have... Aged.

[00:09:41] Um... Do you have a ruler? Uh... I don't actually. Time has not been very fair you old man. I'm gonna look at Chris right in. Well, I mean... I am only human after all. No problem. Um... Normally that's my hand. I hate to uh... Be an annoyance to you but... What happened to my people? Where... Where is everybody? You left... What? Fifty... Fifty so odd years ago? Give or take.

[00:10:10] He goes over to like... There's like a... I'll say there's a bench on there. A little porch. He goes and sits down on it. Okay. And he kind of offers you to the opposite side because there's another bench on the other side of the porch. I think I'm just gonna sit cross-legged beside his bench because I'm massive. Okay. Okay. You're only eight foot... You're not a giant giant. You can stand on it. It's... They're... They're... They're... They're... Like... They are normal human size. They are. Um... But anyway... I'll sit on the bench next to him.

[00:10:40] Okay. Um... Dauntingly. A couple years after you left, uh... The... The other Nephilim families... They just up and left. Uh... When we... When we faced... When we traveled to another... Some other land, I... It was a land of... Of rock and... Palm trees. And... Uh... Like lush vegetation, but very warm. And they just... They got up...

[00:11:10] They left their homes that morning and just... Headed out of town. Uh... It was very strange. No one... No... No one... They wouldn't give us an answer. They just... Up and left. Um... And... We... We haven't had... We... They never returned. We never went back to the... That... That world. Those lands. So we just... Like we... We had the... We need... My family needed some of the space, so we took a few of the properties a couple years later.

[00:11:38] And then some other people have come into town and they've taken over the other properties and we had to resize them because they were rather large. They're huge. Well, you could have just put a floor in the middle halfway. I mean... Some of them we have. Anyway... Some of them we've just modified. Yeah. Um... But yes... I'm sorry. Like your... Yeah, your home's... Now my... Part of my family's homes. Uh... Like we've grown in 50 years. Uh... My...

[00:12:07] My children's children have taken over... I've taken some of the... Residents. Um... It's so sad. It's nice to see you again. It's so sad. It's like I'm the only one left. Here you are. It's like... It's nice to see you again after all these years. Like... We didn't expect you to come back. Um... Shit. I guess I'll ask them if they've... Have they left anything behind? Uh... We... We didn't... We took a few things to the archive... To the central...

[00:12:36] To the civil center in town. Um... That we... That were left. Uh... Anything like family heirlooms. We didn't... We didn't... A couple of people may have taken some things, But most of the... Uh... Most of the family heirlooms are... Things that seem to value we sent... We brought to the vaults at the civic center. Hmm. Uh... You might be able to find something there, but... Okay. Uh... Unless you guys hide... Unless you Nephilim hide something... Or hide things differently, then, uh... I don't know. Hmm. Okay.

[00:13:05] Well then I'll, um... I'll thank him for his time. Uh... If... If you... Are you staying in town long? As long as my... Assignment wills me. Uh... Well, if... If you're staying for more than a few... For... Like, if you're staying for any period of time, uh... We do have a cabin back off in... Behind, uh... Like, out where your property... Where your family's property used to be. Uh... Out in the back. Right. If you want some kind of... Like, some...

[00:13:34] Free bed and lodgings. Refuge. Okay. Um... I'll... I'll graciously... Accept his offer. But I want to go to that civic center. I want to go to the library. Okay. Uh... Then yeah, you basically... Calmly... That was... I was not expecting that. I was expecting a fight. Punch him in the face. Turn him into mist. What's going on? Undun Din is not Crash McHarran. He's in... He's in no way, like, on that parallel.

[00:14:03] No, no, yeah, no, no. He's a very serious guy. Jason Momoa. Yeah. I'm happy with that you're... You're breaking mold. Um... But no, um... Yeah, no, yeah, you, uh... Yeah, they... They say goodbye. They say for a while, and... You head, uh, back into the, uh... The center of town. Um... The lighthouse library is... Just a couple of, like... It's just a walk away from the, uh... The civic center. Which is the big masonic town hall, kind of thing. Okay. Um...

[00:14:33] Alright, so that's what you'll be doing. I guess. Um... In the meantime, back at the, uh, Wizards Tower. Uh... You guys, uh, being, um... David and Aaron. Dave, who's your character and what does he do? Or what does he look like? Who's your character and what does he look like? Who is your daddy? And what does he do? Yes. I am, uh, playing Waylon Winchester. I am a gunslinger. Um... He is a... Ex-MIB that, um...

[00:15:02] Got corrupted through Shadow Magic through a special program that they had in 2018. And, um, through being sent to investigate the Winchester house, um, he got sent to Myths End. And he's been living here for X amount of years? I can't remember how many. Uh, 10 or something? 10 or... Uh, 11 or 12, I think, is what makes sense for your 10 year old child. Yeah, that makes sense. Um, so yeah, 11 or 12 years. Or, sorry, 9 year old child, sorry. Either way. Yeah. You took some time before you bunked up with somebody.

[00:15:32] Yeah, it didn't immediately just start jumping bones. Yeah. Sorry, what did I name the, uh, the wife Davidson? Uh... There's Dawn Davidson, Dave Davidson, and then there was... I didn't catch that I was reading things. Diana? Or... Ah, fuck. I don't even think you said her name. I said, I said, uh, maybe I didn't know. Okay, well, I'll just do that. Um... Diana. Um... Yeah, my character is, um, like, obsidian black skin with, uh, yellow eyes. Um, he has an armored coat.

[00:16:02] Uh, he still has his, um, like, white, um, dress shirt from his MIB. Um... Ten years strong. Ten years clean. It's still pretty good. You know, it's a little weathered. It's been tailored a little bit. Yeah. Maybe has a tie underneath it and such, yeah. Yep. But he's very much a gunslinger kind of look. But with a little bit of a modern twist on it. Do you kill not with your gun, but with your mind? No, I kill with my bullets. Thank you. I always expect that's what I was gonna say. Yep. I kill with my gun.

[00:16:31] I kill with the bullets. Yep. Uh... Alright. Um... And... To his left is Aaron. To my right. Sorry, to his right is Aaron, playing... Um... It's a... There we go. You gonna do an Ace Ventura here? Balthazar. Balthazar's Bizarre and Emporium. Greatest merchant in all of the... Well, that world. Or this world.

[00:17:01] Or whatever. Any world really. Whatever. He is also a Herald of Geralt. That he is. The first Herald of Geralt, you might say. Um... Overly powerful wizard. Progenitor of... Um... Wondrous and... Magical supplies. Really just the bee's knees. What does he look like? Oh, are you? Well...

[00:17:28] In hindsight, a lot like Doctor Strange. It just happens to look like him? Yeah, it's... To be honest, Aaron looks a lot like Doctor Strange. So, he looks like Aaron. He looks like me and I. Like Doctor Strange. So... Black hair with a white... With grey streaks. No. He doesn't have the grey streaks. Okay, so he's just black hair. The green streaks. Like black greasy hair? Yeah, just black hair. Okay. Um... And then like mage attire or wizard attire.

[00:17:58] Or like... Does he have a king? Not yet. But you're kind of a frontiersy wizard. Yes. He's got explorers that would fit lots and lots of pockets. Actually, you know what? Um, hang on. Let me show you this character from the Pathfinder Occult Supplement. That might fit the bill. Actually. He looks like a hardcore solo adventuring wizard. Does he look like the... Does he look like a leaner version of the occultist from the occult guide? I don't know. When I pull it up. Hang on.

[00:18:27] You happen... Okay. Or does he look like that guy? Does he look like the medium? Actually... Or... Does he look like the occultist? He's not too far. Uh... How old is Balthazar? Yes. Ever written down? 25. Oh, that's a good one. That's not right. Because he's half-elf. So... We're gonna actually change that to 35. Or does he look like a leaner version of that guy? Um... He's got way too much stuff.

[00:18:57] You said that he has a lot of stuff though. A lot of pockets and stuff with that. Yeah. He does. Just not that amount. Okay. So he's more like the medium from the occult book. That's so too much stuff. He's a lot like that. Just with a little bit less junk. Okay. A lot less junk in that trunk. Yes. Indeed. Okay. Um... You might want to reference who that was and what... Yeah, no. If you go to the occult adventures supplement of Pathfinder, you will find the medium icon character.

[00:19:25] He looks like that guy but a little less of the medium stuff. Like the cards or like the star knife. Oh! Is it a star knife? I want to see it! The icon icon uses a star knife. What page is it? I don't know. God damn it. Anyway, um... So you guys are in a bit of a pickle. The pages are important. You have defeated two of the begotten hands. These invisible creatures that seem to be irresponsible for the deaths of several people in town. Who dies? Um...

[00:19:55] But... It's off his head. It's off his head. You also, um... Have a grievously injured man with missing a leg. Um... Stabilized for now but he needs a proper healer. And you've just been... Uh... When you reached back to go, uh... Grab the wheelbarrel to bring him back into town, You found that the wizard corpse you had in said wheelbarrel, Uh... Is gone, with drag marks leading out away from the tower. Towards the town or away from the town? Uh...

[00:20:23] It seemed like it was heading toward the edge of town. Like the township. So near the perimeter. Well shit, Nuggets. How do you want to go about this? Oh, right I'm here. Um... Uh... Yeah, we should probably figure out where the hell he went. Your mother. Yeah, but which is more pressing? The guy who's gonna die, or... Or... Yeah, you can only stabilize him so long before he will. It's by... I mean, we know what direction they went in.

[00:20:53] There's no tracks, right? Just the body drive? Just the body drive. Well, the body drive mark's gonna stay there. So we can rush him to hospital. Tell the sheriff... The hospital? Sheriff Duke. Uh, sorry. No. Wayne Westwood. Yeah, there you go. But no, you guys call him the Duke. His nickname's the Duke. Well, we can go back to the Duke. And um... Tell him what happened here. And then um... Possibly grab some backup and go... Figure out where he went. Maybe find your weird, tall friend who... Wasn't there to help us.

[00:21:23] Like the great friend that he is. Right? How dare he. I know. Alright, so you guys are heading to town? Yes. I'm not your friend. Not your buddy, Kay. How pressing are you guys going? Are you like... Going faster than normal? To get into town? With a wheelbarrow? Or... Are you... A wheelbarrow? Well... Tensors floating disc. Right. Tensors floating disc. Are you running though? Or are you walking? Well, I can only move it at 30 feet per round. So we gotta walk. We gotta stay with this. So you guys got about an hour and a half. Into town. Okay.

[00:21:53] Um... Alright, so you guys get into town. Um... I'll say as... Basically... Um... You guys arrive into the center of town. Um... Go... Try to find the... The healers, which is probably the church. Or you know it would be the church. With the healers. Um... As basically you run into him. Um... Like... Kind of walking around... Like kind of just aimlessly for a moment. Like kind of... Or in reminiscing kind of mode. Okay. Or like sad mode. Oh, but I'm speaking of the devil. Look who it is.

[00:22:24] Da-de-doo. Oh, but... Um... So then I'm quickly reminded of my assignment. Yeah, you see the... Da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da. Injured guy who's lost his leg. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. By the way, he lost his leg because he shot a lot. And, uh... I'm instantly intrigued. Yeah, you see him. So I follow them. Okay. Start. I'll join the party. Yeah, so you lead them to... Who do? Just join the party. Basically a block away... That's a thing across the street.

[00:22:52] A block away from the center of town to... With a swipe. Yeah, totally. To, uh... The Covenant Church. Um... It's sort of an all-church, really. Like, all-fays are welcome there. But it's current... It's been run... It's run by, uh... A witch coven. Um... And, uh... Yeah, you basically just run up at steps with the, um... Or walk up at steps with the attempt... With the floating disc. Uh... And, um... Uh... Do you just barge in? Or do you knock? Or...

[00:23:22] Meh. The doors are... It's basically a standard kind of wooden... Whitewashed wooden... Well, maybe not quite whitewashed, but like... Wooden, uh... Ivy-grown chapel. We'll go to barge. Larger than normal, like... We should barge and yell, this man needs help, stat! I was actually gonna go with the, uh... The boot option. Oh, yeah. I was barging... I'll shoot the door open. Oh! DOS boot! So, you guys barge in... Fire normal!

[00:23:51] Burn the door down. And the rest of the building! It's fine. They have fire extinguishers, right? Oh, wait, no, they don't. I have fire extinguishers. Oh, that's true. Uh... You barge in, um... Uh... Flare! Alerting and like... DOS! And like shocking, um... Three or four, uh... Maidens in, uh... Robes. Um... Uh... Including, and also a, uh... Maidens? Alright, well... There you go. You said the special word. No. Um... They're like, oh, what? What's going on?

[00:24:21] What's going on? Well... What's going on with you later? Um... You're not your character from the other day. Uh... What's going on with you, Dad? Alright! How you doin'? God damn it. Um... What's up? Can I slide my... Can I slide my... No! That's enough. Yeah. Um... That's all I have to say. It's all I have to say. It's all I have to say. Um... Uh... Shortly after, a, um...

[00:24:49] An older woman, um... Uh... Black... With, uh... Uh... Like... Kind of Whoopi Goldberg-looking... Um... Woman. Like... Okay. I don't know why that hit me so hard. I was like... Kinda like how she looked... Cause you're just imagining Whoopi Goldberg in this situation. Kinda how she looked as her character in Star Trek Next Generation. Like... It doesn't matter. It's still Whoopi Goldberg. Anyway... She comes over and is like... What's going on here? Like what's...

[00:25:19] What, uh... Sorry. Her name is... What's wrong? It's like... Oh, oh, okay. You need a healer. Um... Alright. Um... They... Like grab a... Like a stretcher of some... Like a makeshift stretcher. Or a stretcher they have on standby. Have you... They... Like the... The older woman turns to you and is like... You! Deactivate the flowing disc. Are you ready? They... They have the stretcher over... And they... Like... They have it a few inches underneath it. So it just like...

[00:25:49] Just drops like... Gently under... On top of it. And they basically... I'm gonna slip a card into his pocket for a... A free augmentation. Right. Into his... Into his pocket. We'll see what we can do. Air quotes. Did you... Did you guys... Did you recover... Was the leg recovered? Or... Is there a way to... Did you have... Do you have the leg? It became a fine gooey mist. Oh... That's a shame. Um... You actually got it! We'll do what we can to...

[00:26:18] To... We'll do what we can. Um... What happened to this? Was it one of those... The things... The things that have been attacking people? Yeah. Sadly. Alright. Um... Well... Thank you for bringing him in. Once he stabilizes... Um... You do know who this is by the way. Yeah. This is... Sorry. There's names. Tons of names. Um... What is her name? I got one. She's got one. I know she does. We just don't know what. There it is.

What was the one I said she looked like? Wolfie Goldberg? Wolfie Goldberg, but with a lot more freckles. Right. Of course. I honestly thought you'd maybe go something like Oprah. No. Come on.

[00:27:17] That's like Wolfie Goldberg. Yeah. So Morgana... Wow. That's Morgana. Yeah. Uh... She's like, um... Well, I hope you got the creature... The thing that got him. Both of them. Oh. Yes. I finally managed to kill one. Good job. Partially to the aid of this gentleman over here. I gotta give him a little bit of props. Yes, you're new here. And you... You, uh... I sparkle. Yes. Yeah, you... Team with magic.

[00:27:47] You smell unicorns and rainbows. You still have some of the magic dust on you. That was for fun. That's all that is. Team with magic. No. No. I am the team. Not like a troll you smell like. Mmm. I was gonna say like, you smell magic. Well, thank you. It's my deodorant. But by the way, it is magic. It is not said a thing. This is just Adler. It's, uh... Eau de Mystique. God damn it. Anyway. Is it blue? Oh no. With a red top on it?

[00:28:16] Well, I... Orcs. Was it just the gins? No, there's more. Hands? Sorry, the monsters. Oh, okay. Uh, she looks at you a little weird, but... Okay, uh, well... Are you going back out there to hunt? To take them down? Well, yeah. If we can go now. Yes! 20 questions is over. We'll take care of... We'll take care of... John. Jacob. Jinglehammer.

[00:28:47] Farmhand of Jinglehammer and Sweet Farms. Yes, of course. Jacob is a farmhand to the farmhand of Jinglehammer and Sweet's Farm. Yes. Anyway. Um, yeah, she basically like shoos you out of the cotton church. Um, go with the goddess and all that. Go with the goddess? Go fight some... Go fight evil. And then she... The door's closed. Ah! We'll be like Google.

[00:29:16] Just get out there and do good things, buddy. What? That's their slogan. Since when? Since when? That's... That's literally their slogan. What is? Their business... Their business slogan. Who? Just don't be evil. Don't be evil. Oh, you know they'd be doing some clandestine shit now. Anyway. Uh... Well, that's because... Okay. Okay. Conspiracy crash time. Yeah. Well, it is appropriate because this is what Miss A. Kevin said.

[00:29:43] The CEO of Google went to be the fucking... The head of the FBI. And the head of the FBI, and I'm not fucking kidding you, is now the CEO of Google. Okay. I really feel like whenever you say like, alright, conspiracy crash, and just like have a sound effect of glass breaking. Yes, of course. As you break through... I was gonna say that, actually. I never watched where I sang.

[00:30:13] Oh, I did back when I was a kid. Okay. I watched it with my mom, actually. I like how you guys did Stone Cold Steve Austin. I'd be like... That's not Stone Cold. That's... I know. It's John Cena. Anyway. Um... So you guys... ...leave the, um... The church. Um... And then you're heading back out to find, uh... Where the begotten hand took the body? Yes. Okay. Ah, you said hand. That means there's only one left.

[00:30:42] No, just the one took the one body. How do we know how many took the body? There could have been ten of them that grabbed that body and dragged it off. Alright, fine. Ten of them took it. It's saying people always write in single file to hide their numbers. Uh-huh. Anyways. Um... So you, uh... Yeah, you... Are you going from... Like, going back to the tower again? Because that's another hour and a half walk. Or run. Or faster if you run. Well, yeah, I'm assuming we're gonna grab, uh... Lundun and fill him in on what's going on and get up there.

[00:31:12] Well, he's with you guys. He's been with you now. I'm sorry. Walk and talk. Oh, actually, I should probably go to, um, the Duke and tell him what's going on. Maybe while they go back. Okay. Okay, so you... Is that bug gonna bug you? Yeah. Uh, so what do you guys, uh... So you go off to, um... To the Dukes. Yes. Basically, he's not just the sheriff. He's the sheriff slash the captain of the guard. Mm-hmm. So you go to the guard, the local guard house slash jail. Mm-hmm. Or authorities area. It's basically right next to the civics, uh, center. Okay.

[00:31:42] Um... Because everything is basically the civic center. Like every... All the town, like, stuff is civic center. All the civic-related things are around that center? Yeah. Cool. Um, so you get there. Um, again, you just walk in, uh, uh, there's a, there's a one guard at the desk, um, and, um, uh, the sheriff, the guard, the guard captain's office is like, like, farther in. Um, the guard, um... Do we know his name? We'll say, uh, Mitchell's actually. You get the, the, the, the miller that you guys, uh, saw, like, last, last night.

[00:32:11] Um, the one that took Mildred away. Oh, okay. Mitchell. Okay. Um, he's at the desk. Oh, hey, um, hey, hey Wayland, uh, what's going on? Uh, I need to see the Duke immediately. Uh, okay, um, this is about those monster things. Yup. Okay, um, it runs off, and then shortly after, uh, trailing behind, he is, uh, following, um, the Duke, uh, Wayne Winchester. Or, sorry, Wayne, Wayne Westwood. Yup.

[00:32:39] Um, kind of a, kind of like a witch hunter. He kind of has like, his guard outfit is very similar to the others. Um, kind of like brown coats, but also kind of looks like a witch hunter or a witch finder of sorts with like the bra, the brim hat and stuff. Does he always wear a poncho? Uh, he does have a poncho. Cool. Or is it a serapé? It's a poncho with, with sleeves. Yes. Cool. Okay. Sure. Same thing, basically.

[00:33:06] Um, he's like, uh, alright, so, uh, what's this about some monsters? I'm going through my town. Show him my notepad, I drew the, um, um, scene of the crime. Um, so what happened was... So the wizard's dead? Yes, he was hung by his own entrails at the top of his tower. I'm gonna go. Sam? Okay, can you do that, sir? He pulls some dice out? He pulls some dice out? He pulls some dice out? He's also from the future, he's a D&D. You see, no, you see glowing numbers come off his brain?

[00:33:36] Like, no, just popping out of his brain? No, uh, he's, uh, like, well that's... My character? Uh... We've seen some shit, but that never gets easy. No. So... We're wizardless now? We don't have one? Uh, well... Yes and no. Actually. I don't like those answers. I know. I didn't think you would. Uh, we are down one wizard, but we gained another one. You just, like, through portal.

[00:34:04] Well, I had sort of right there. Oh, you weren't... He did this while you guys were doing the witch thing. Or, like, talking about the witches. Well, no. I was there. Oh, you... Yeah, he was there for the witch. Okay, so you guys... Oh, yeah, so you appear... You show up, like, seconds later. Yeah. Balthazar Romanov. Oh. He... He's methanacting. Yeah.

[00:34:35] Anyway, um... It's like, well, so... Are you taking this place? Well, that depends. Is his tower up for grabs? Does he have any family? No. Okay, so I've claimed this tower, I'll be your new wizard. Alright, so I guess you'll be staying with us then. Well, I kinda think so, considering I came from the last place you were at. Ah, you wasn't intending that. My condolences. Oh, well. I got a tower. I like your attitude.

[00:35:05] It's actually a really positive attitude. I'm lost forever, but I have a tower, so it's fine. Well, it's a gem. You're only lost if you don't know where you are. I was lost, but now I live here. Yeah. Anyway, um... It's like, alright, so what are we dealing with? Is it the Furblind again? Is it something else? Is it something else? It's quite something else. By the way, you know that the Furblind is a local legend from the woods. That's why I just kinda went over it. Fair enough. I'm just adding something. Okay, cool. Um... It's horrible.

[00:35:34] You don't really wanna know. Think hands with tentacles. But they're invisible as you don't think. But invisible. How many? I do not know. Well, at least three. That's not very hard. Well, actually, no. There's only four. You guys have not been saying how big they are, so he's just thinking they're... Little tiny hands. There's at least four because... I'm sorry. At least four because drawn and quartered. Yes. And the pretty few hands... The four hands... I've been killing people. Hands the size of you. Oh. Alright.

[00:36:04] Yes. That is... Exponentially worse. Indeed. Orders and baggage you need. Um... You've killed some already? With my bullets. And with his magic. And my giant-ness. Yes. And his giant-ness. He's not currently giant, but he was. Wizards. I know, right? Um... Alright, well, um... What do you need from us? From the guard? Um... We've already... We've been sending out a... We've already...

[00:36:33] Since we've moved to a new location, we've been... We've since sent a small contingent of the guard out to the perimeter to check it and see what the local wildlife are. Unfortunately... Two finest nameless red shirts. It's just two guys working on that man's leg. Hang on. Oh wait, uh... It was a... Bull... Skulk. Wow. Is that a little skinny guy and a big fat guy? Yeah. They have names. Okay, fine.

[00:37:03] Whatever. Bull and big. Skulk. Oh, so like Bulk and Skull from Power Rangers? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's what I said. I said one of the big fat guy and one of the skinny guys. Yes. And why were you needing them? Yeah, you see a thin guard and a fat guard. Well, that's funny because I was going to ask them for a or a couple of guards to guard the tower while we figure out where the body went. That's fair. That's fair. Just in case. Alright.

[00:37:32] Did you magically lock it on the way out? No, you didn't because you jumped out the window. You defenest red. And I only suppressed the lock. I didn't actually... Okay. So it will re-lock by the time you guys get back. Yeah, it only stays unlocked for 10 minutes. Oh, so we have to re-pick it? No, he's got to re-cast this. Actually, I did. Actually, you don't have to ring. Because you are now in response to the ring. Right, okay, so you're fine. Yeah. Okay. Alright, so yes, we will need a couple of guards to guard the tower while we're gone. It's cleared.

[00:38:02] We went through it, it's cleared. But um... Do you know what... Did he... Was it suicide or was it murder? I do not know. No? We're gonna go with no. Just based on the way he died. I only briefly knew the man... Died his own... From his intestines? Yeah, I only briefly knew the man but I don't think he had the kind of guts, pardon the pun, to be able to pull out his own guts and strangle himself. He literally just crosses himself when you say that. Like that was a bad joke. It's fine, you know. Yeah. That's the way it is.

[00:38:32] Yeah. But yeah, so um... We'll need a couple of men to guard because um... The mage's body has... was taken from us when we were battling the uh... the giant hands. We went back to get the body to bring it over to you and it's gone. Alright, I'll give you... yeah. Mitchell! Go grab ball... Go grab ball and skulk. It's like, alright. And then he runs off again like kind of just like sweating because he's running around a lot. Um...

[00:39:02] And they... He's been running like 10 feet? No, he's been running... Huge! No, no, he's not. He's like a normal dude. Okay, okay. But um, the two people that come in with him from the outside is a large rotund man and a very thin man. Um... In fact you almost hear some music. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do They have a Walkman on them that they got at one point. Yeah, from you. Yeah, totally. Yeah, from Moe. Winchester Winchester. How's that Walkman working out on you? Oh, it's doing good. Yeah, I like it. Nice.

[00:39:32] Um... Alright, so uh... Ball, skulk, you're going in with these people. Ball their orders as if they were my own. I was like, alright, alright balls. I don't remember their voices. I'm just making them. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, one of them is gonna be like a normal one. Kind of normal and the other one... Like a thin one is gonna be like, yes sir! Okay. So... Uh... Yeah, with that you guys head off. Um... Uh... He tells you... Duke tells you to report back once you've done.

[00:40:03] I'll already serve you just as. They will keep the guard up around town and hopefully the guard on the perimeter will return so you can assign them to fortify the town so that these things don't get through again. Okay. Uh... Is there any way, uh... Is there any way we can, uh... Defend ourselves a little bit more? Like, these things are invisible. Is there anything that your wizard friend can do to help us? Um... Uh...

[00:40:24] I am unsure, but what he did in our situation when we had our confrontation was sprinkled magical pixie dust all over them so we could see them. Did you have any of that pixie dust, son? Well, I... Uh... No. Um... So what might be a good idea is, um... Hold on. Can you give me some water? Sure. What would be a good idea? Like, would it be smart to suggest to carry just a bag of sand on you? No, uh, the better... It has to stick to them, right?

[00:40:54] A bag of flour. Ah. Also, Chris, uh, do you want some pep or do you want some... Actually, I legit want some water. Actually, can I have some of that juice from last week? Juice? No. You can't have the juice that you paid for. Okay. Uh, yes. He said no. Yeah, yeah, he didn't say no. Where is it? Oh, right now. The yellow stuff? Yep. Cool. I like it already. Okay, do we have any S sound... Any last names in this town yet? Last names? Yeah.

[00:41:24] I don't know. No, we don't. I'm trying to find for Bull and Skulk. That's actually their names. They're a lot of names to that? Their parents hated them. Yeah, their parents hated them. Wow. No, Skulk Smith or Skulk Smith? Oh, they could be... Skulk Smith? They could be a... Ugh. I was trying to think of a way that the parents would name them these two horrible names,

[00:41:51] but they have to not have the same last name for that to work. Yeah. It doesn't matter. Or do they have a combined last name? One of those like... Or again, these could just be their nicknames. Like they're actually named... So normal names. Yeah, maybe. Anyway, it doesn't matter. We'll forget it later. They're also redshirt guards to be disposed of. No! No! Anyway. So, you guys trudge back out to the tower.

[00:42:19] It takes about actually two hours because Bull is just like not lagging behind. What a surprise. Because he's not used to running this far. Come on, Bull. You gotta learn how to charge like a bull. Come on! See, I have a bull whip. Oh yeah. I don't know. And Skulk isn't much better because he's also like pencil thin. Yeah. Funny and off topic. You've seen the Hobbit movies. Yes.

[00:42:44] You know the scene where the dwarves are all running towards... What's his name? Bjorn's house? Yes. Where they're being chased by the... In the books it's wolves, but the wargs? Yeah. Okay. And they all have this shocked look on their face as Bomber, the fattest of them, runs past them all.

[00:43:08] The look of shock on their face is actually valid because he was wearing over a hundred pounds more gear than the rest of them and he was actually out running them. Oh my god. Oh seriously? Yeah. Wow. That is pretty badass. Anyway. So you guys get there in about two hours. Effectively, you're about three and a half hours behind. Maybe give or take. Because of some time when you were in town.

[00:43:38] Okay. So, but Bull and Skulk will stay by the tower and monitor it. Okay. They ask for like... I was like, do you got any of that pixie dust? No, but we got this. And I'll take a big bag of flour from the tower and I'll hand it to them. Just sprinkle it out all over the ground and then at least you'll be able to see when something's walking up. They don't leave footprints. No, that's not going to work. They don't leave footprints. Yeah.

[00:44:08] They don't leave... Okay. They don't leave fingerprints. Yeah. Actually, if there's trouble, then just throw this stuff up in the air. And it should stick to anything that's even reasonably got oils or... That will placebo them. For now. Cool. Because I'm just saying like you know that that's not going to work either. Why not? Because when these things were kicking up dirt and like falling so that they were not... The dirt wasn't clinging to them at all.

[00:44:38] They are invisible except... They are only visible through magical means. Oh. Yeah. You can't? You cannot... They effectively... Like their invisibility is to the point where it is almost like as if they are incorporeal. But they aren't incorporeal. I was going to say because they were taking bullets. They were taking bullets. But they are undetectable. Okay. Basically. Except for the smell and sounds they make. Okay. I was just thinking in terms of if you dust it up into the air, you would actually be able to see as they pass even if that...

[00:45:08] They don't disturb it? No. That doesn't happen. The only reason that yours worked is because you used corpse dust on it. Yeah. Well, alright. Because... I don't actually have that spell prepared again. Where are your dead bodies? Bring out your dead! I can get away with it with the staff. Okay. Because it'll let me pass one spell that I don't have prepared. You'll know they're around by smell. Can I see them? No.

[00:45:38] Dammit. I also have the spell C and visibility prepared. But that doesn't count. That will work as its magical means. It will? Yeah. I'm being semi lenient with that. You won't be able to see them in full, but you'll be able to see their outline. Okay. It's basically glitter dust, but better. Yeah. It's basically glitter dust, but better. Except the way glitter dust has to be modified in order for it to actually see these things. Anyway. Point is, you placebo...

[00:46:06] They're not as terrified to be out there guarding something. Okay. And you guys head in the direction of the drag marks. Um... It's really only about a half hour before you reach, or maybe shorter because you guys are hurrying, before you hit the perimeter. And you can tell, like, there's a definite difference between the grass on this side and the grass on the other side.

[00:46:33] In fact, the foliage on the other side, like, basically beyond the barrier, beyond the perimeter of township, is a verdant rolling hills. And very odd architecture, like, structures off in the far distance, like hundreds of miles away. Like, mountain-sized structures in the distance. Are they odd to me? They are odd to you, too. Okay. They are not buildings. Okay, that's what I was wondering. But they are geometric mountains. Okay.

[00:47:02] Like, it is odd looking. Okay. Some of them look like they're even floating above some of them. That's weird. Um... In fact, the land, the sky itself looks a little odd, too, because... Uh, roll perceptions, guys. You two, Nephilim. Geometric mountains. Not quite like that. More like, very, uh, like, whole, like... Like skyscrapers, but, like, made of rock. Wait, what? Well, no, like, literally, like, made, like, columns. Basically, like, columns of rock. Okay.

[00:47:32] Rather than mountains. What was it say for Sam? Ewww! Critical failure. You're block... You're in the... You're back home! 21. 21? 17. You're pretty sure you see similar, um, elongated peak structures descending in the sky, like, in the far blue of the sky. Um, and the sky isn't quite blue. It's more like a reddish hue. Um, there is a...

[00:48:02] You're also not sure where the sun is. But there's definitely an ambient light source. Okay. Um, so yeah, you are in some kind of... Uh, Aaron, what did you roll again? You rolled a 21? You rolled a what? 17. Aaron, or Balthazar, you're pretty sure you're in some kind of great... Like, it almost looks like you're in some kind of vast cave with its own sky atmosphere. Hmm. Um... Kind of odd. Uh, but it's...

[00:48:31] It looks like daytime. Albeit with a little bit of a red tinge to the sky. So, it's just really weird looking. Uh, but anyway, the drag marks actually don't leave town. They start... They hit the line. It was clear that the body was moved around a bit, like, as if the thing was trying to figure out what to do. And then it started heading along the trail. Or along the perimeter. Okay. Um, almost like it's like, uh, this is not where I parked.

[00:49:02] This isn't where I parked my car. Dude, where's your car? Sweet. Also a good reference. Yeah. Mine's going, um... Euro trip. Nice. I've seen that. So, um... You can follow the drag marks, or at least you can follow the drag marks of the body through, uh, the grass and the dirt, um, as it's going along the edge of the perimeter. Um, heading toward the more wooded area, um, to the north of town? Okay.

[00:49:30] It's that one big batch of forest that, uh, just outside of town. Um, that you see in the township. Um, Waylon, do you know that that is the Forest of Time? The, uh, the what? The Forest of Time, as in, like, thine, as in, uh, the herb. Oh.

[00:49:50] Uh, but it is a place that, uh, it is a place where the, uh, the Covenant's Witches and, like, uh, some other farmers and locals and stuff will get herbs and, like, like, very special and exotic herbs and stuff. However, you are usually don't want to stray too far in because the, the forest, while it looks small from the, from inside, like, comparatively, you can get lost because it is bigger on the inside of canopy, within the canopy than the outside. Okay.

[00:50:18] Um, and, you know, there's far too much season-ing. Yeah. Ah. Um, there's also some, again, like, the fur blight, uh, is a, uh, is a creature that's supposed to be lurking in there. Um, and, uh, there's that weird tower that, uh, that emits light. Uh, that giant, like, radio tower that you've, uh, you've picked up a couple signals off of. Okay. Um, but it, the trail is leading you guys around the, in that direction, like, along the path which we'll go into that forest.

[00:50:50] Alright, well. Uh, the good side is that you are on a, you're gonna be heading into a batch of the forest that is, um, that is cut by a path that goes through it. So, maybe this side is a lot, not as treacherous as the deeper part, but. I'm gonna poke these two with my wand. Yeah. Oh, okay. Wand of what? Actually, uh, mage armor. Oh, okay. That's plus what? Four. Nice.

[00:51:17] We're gonna write that down so I know, so I don't have to keep asking every time. Um, just put a plus four beside your AC in brackets. Yeah. Or in your miscellaneous. I already have miscellaneous mortifiers. So, um, I need you guys to roll me, um, survival for tracking. That's all me. Is it? Yeah. I have a level of ranger. Oh. Yeah, I'll have two bones in that. Survival in what?

[00:51:47] Survival for tracking. Oh. Because the trail is gonna get a little bit warm, a little bit colder as you guys go because it is taking you a few hours to do, like, to get, to catch up, basically. Do we need to roll? We got it. 17. Now 20? I think we got it. Um. We know all the things. You, you guys start losing the trail as soon as you guys hit the pine trees, um, and the, the, the end of brush. And stuff like that.

[00:52:16] Also, I'm assuming I told them about the thing that you just told us. Yeah, well, he also should know because he's been here for 50, it hasn't changed in 50 years. Aren't we outside the border? No, you're not outside the border. Oh, I thought we were. Sorry. This is on the inside of the town. Okay. Um. This is within town, the town, township. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. Um. But yeah, uh, Balthazar, you, like, know, like, you see a couple, like, tears of cloth, um, along some of the trees and roots that are over the, uh, the, the, the, the dirt, or over the floor.

[00:52:47] And, um, you're able to actually, you start hearing, um, the sound of, of something like, just, like, a sack of something just, like, bumping and hitting things and stuff like that. It's really quickly, it's actually, what's weird is it's not on the ground anymore. It's, it's, you're seeing, you're hearing that banging sound in the branches above you. And you look up and you can just, like, through some of the trees, you can make out the signs of the, what, the cloth, the clothes that, uh, the wizard was wearing smashing through the trees. What color was his wizardry?

[00:53:16] I'd say it was probably, like, a blue with some silvery stars or patterns. Okay. Maybe a little bit of tie. Typical Merlin situation. Maybe a little tie-dye as well. Okay. He was a bit of a hippie-ish kind of looking guy, dude too. Okay. I said Jesus. So, um, I guess the question, Jeremy. Wait, that's not, that's Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. Do we follow this to where it's going to find out what the overall picture is?

[00:53:42] Or do we, uh, have a plan? Do, yeah. Do we have a plan? I doubt it. Oh, no, no. We always have a plan. Attack. I see. So, do we follow or do we have a plan? Well, if we stop it now. It's potentially just one or a couple grabbing it.

[00:54:09] But if we follow it to their home, there could be a ton of them that we have to deal with. So, we can get him back safely. Or we can get him back dangerously but know where they are. Because if we kill them now, we would have to wait for another attack to trace them back to where they came from. Yes. And without them taking a body, which they haven't been until now, there would be a, it'd be very difficult to track them. Yeah.

[00:54:37] They have not been taking bodies, I will say that too. They've basically just been killing people. So, as much as I hate to say, we probably should follow them. Alright. So then, follow them we shall. So, uh, you, I would like everybody to roll stealth checks. To be cautiously moving along with them. Because you have, you've tracked them now. You're able to keep, keep, keep tabs on them. Sorry, did you say spot check? Stealth. Uh, no stealth. Oh. 20. 20? Okay, cool.

[00:55:06] Uh, 21. Nope. Yes. 21. Actually, I guess I should pull up 25. Okay, 25? Okay, well you guys aren't going to be able to beat their, I mean, they're not going to be able to beat your stealth rolls. I don't think. I'll pull it up just to be sure, but. By the way, when I was looking through the, the fetchling, um, uh, favorite classes. Yep. There isn't one for gunslinger, but would I, would it be okay for me to take the, uh, the bonus from rogue?

[00:55:37] Um. Which is a plus one slash two bonus on stealth and sleight of hand checks while in dim or darkness. I'd say that's probably a good one, like, that'd be like, I'd consider that a fetchling favorite feat you could take. So yeah, you could take that. Well, those are favorite class options, so if you are a fetchling and you pick rogue, you get that. Okay, then yeah, uh, then, yeah, I'll, like, you can take it next feat you can grab. No, it's a passive. Oh, okay. That, that you get. For being a rogue, though. Favorite class options.

[00:56:02] The following options are available to all fetchlings who have the listed favorite class, and unless otherwise stated, the bonus is applied each time you select the favorite class reward. Oh, favorite, select the favorite class reward? So you have to, I'll deal with it later. Okay. Okay, uh, where's my D20? There it is. That's an important one to have. Oh, I had it here a second ago. I was not sure where it went. Um, where is it? Do they have any? They do have any? Yes, they do. They, okay.

[00:56:30] You guys, um, continue following them. Um, they break through the tree line into, down, uh, and they kind of hit the ground. Uh, they were about 10 feet up, and the body just plop onto the ground. Uh, thing gets pulled again. Uh, you guys are, like, monitoring, like, checking this as, like, you're cautious of, like, hiding behind trees and stuff like that. Um, and they, you see them hit the, the, the, the main, it's basically hit the main road, um, going north. Okay. Out of town.

[00:56:57] And they start dragging the body, like, these invisible things start dragging the body, like, north, uh, toward the end of town. And they reach to the end of town, like, where the, where the path is. And they, again, start, like, looking around at the path. Yeah, they stop at the edge of town. And then they start going into the, into the deeper woods. Um, following the, the edge of town again. They seem to be lost. Lost.

[00:57:26] They, again, where did we, shit, this isn't where we parked either. Oh. Dude. Um, roll me a idea check, uh, or an intelligence check. I think we should just attack them if they seem lost. I'm going to be an end. Or, you guys, you can also roll this if you want. Uh. Just a basic intelligence check. 19. 19? 20. Alright, so if two of you guys get, kind of, get this. They're trapped, they, they weren't expecting the island to move.

[00:57:56] Um, they had a goal. Um, they were, uh, you, you assume they were trying to get the body at some, uh, for some reason they wanted to get, they get the wizard, uh, body somewhere else. Um, but, when the, they're basically just as trapped here as you guys, as you guys are. So they came from the previous area we were in probably? Yeah, they were, they were originally, they originally came to the island the same way, uh, the same time these guys did. Or, like, or, uh, they, they, they were the first ones that come to the island from Dapworld, from Tufelmeyer.

[00:58:27] But, they, or at least from, like, somewhere on Tufelmeyer. Okay. And, they're trapped, they were, they're now trapped here as much as you guys are. Oh, shit. So, yeah, they're just trying to find, they're, they're, they're confused. They are befuddled, begotten hands. Okay, so we're not gonna figure out where they were trying to take them. They are now going deeper, they're now going deeper into the woods, where the fur blight might be. So we should probably put it down. We should probably, uh. And where the spooky shit is.

[00:58:53] So, um, yeah, they are about, I'll say that at this point, they're about ten, you can still catch them, they're about ten feet into the, into the deeper woods. We should choose our first attack. They are also invisible still. We should choose our first attack carefully. Or at least, yeah. Because how, is there anything we can do immediately to make them visible? To everyone? Probably not. Okay, everyone. Flare! No. Yeah. Okay. Well. Okay, now I have a staff. Yeah.

[00:59:24] It just appears. Yes. It's literally the size of a toothpick and hidden, uh, attached to the inside of my glove. Oh, nice. Uh, and then I can throw to the full-size staff as a reaction. It's like a, like a, like a street magician's parlor trick. Yeah. But with actual magic. It's kind of badass. I like it. That's cool. Um, okay. It's a real shit. And then I will use that to, uh, true mindfreak. Um, glitter dust again. Okay. God, what a waste. Um. Right.

[00:59:53] Now, are you still using- I could use it for any spell I don't have, uh, any spell I know. Yeah. Including ones that I do and don't have prepared up to my maximum level. Now, here's a question though. Is it normal glitter dust or is it the- I would say that I probably still have some corpse dust. Only a percentage. Well, I'm not gonna bother casting it if I don't have any corpse dust. Yeah. Roll a percentage to see if you have the corpse dust first. High or low?

[01:00:24] You pick. You can't see them from here. I can't actually. Um. Low. God damn it. Well, that means low. I mean like- Actually, no, it's not. It's still in the 60s. Well, here's the thing. When you were grabbing that dust, that guy was being attacked. So you were hurried in doing that. Yeah. So realistically, you probably wouldn't have been farming materials off of that guy's dead body. Oh. But also, he- The dead body is- Sorry.

[01:00:53] You said corpse dust. Yes. Okay. Survival check of 22. Are there any dead animal leavings kicking around? Um. Like a squirrel skull? You find- 21, you find a dead fox. Um. Half decomposing, um, like off the trail. Ew. Alright. Alright, that'll do. That'll do.

[01:01:23] Uh. What do I got here? What do I got here? What do I got here? Uh. No, I don't use those. Uh. What do I got here? Okay. I'm gonna cast, uh, snapdragon fireworks. Okay. Uh. Uh. Which creates a bunch of little, uh, bunch of little molts of life that look kind of like dragons. Okay. Yes. Okay. Okay.

[01:01:51] And, uh, then I'm going to point at the fox, and one of them is gonna streak over towards it and burst into flames, dealing it fire damage, and turning this inanimate object into ash. Oh. Slash dust. That works. Does that make noise? It do. Okay. It's a firework. Okay. Okay. Uh. What would the DC be for that, for them to perception? Like 10? Or do they just have it? I'd say 5. Okay. See if they notice. They notice. They notice at a 20. Okay. Yeah.

[01:02:20] So, um, you, you do that. You're starting to work, like, collect the dust and stuff like that, and then you realize there's an absence of sound from their, like, snapping and stuff like that. No. And then you start hearing it again as they start, uh, as you start, um, or no, you guys start smelling the, that horrible, like, god-awful smell. No, I had a ladder on me.

[01:02:44] Um, and actually, since you guys can't see them right now, or one of them, um, everyone roll me a, um, just a random perception check. Or, no, a random, not a random perception check. Uh, sorry, uh, uh, roll me a D3, and, uh, tell me what you get. Two. Two. One. One. Ah, I have four. I have to re-roll. Yep.

[01:03:14] Great. Well, um, so, uh, as you're collecting the dust, you're getting it ready and stuff like that, um, er, er, uh, Wayland, right behind you, the tree breaks, like, snaps in two. Okay. And something rammed into it. Okay. It rolled a one to attack you. Oh, cool. Um, I did it. Yeah.

[01:03:43] Um, so, one of them. Well, at that point, I'm just gonna turn around and shoot at the tree. See if I hit him. Yeah. Uh, that would be a 50-50 chance, I guess. His legs didn't work. Blind shooting at him. He's disabled. It's full concealment, but you know what square he's in, so yeah, it's full concealment, 50% miss chance. How many gays have you been disabled? So you roll your attack. If I hit, then roll. And then roll your percentage. Okay. Cool. And then like high or low, I guess? I guess I hit him with a... He rolled a 17.

[01:04:13] 17 plus 7. That'll hit him if you hit him. Okay, then 50%. Higher or low with your percentage. I'm gonna go high. Player wants high. Player wants high. Player wants high. Yeah. Player wants high. That's pretty high. 78. Okay. You shoot and you impact something. In between the air. In between things. There's a little black goo that comes out. You see some black, a black blue ichor. So how much damage did you do to it? So roll, yeah, roll your damage.

[01:04:42] I mean, I could do a full round. Can't I shoot him again, actually? Yeah, you could shoot again. At this point, you know where you're hitting. Yeah, especially... Well, because I see a wound, do I have the 50% miss chance now? Yes. Still? Even though... Okay. Even though I know I'm trying to hit that, because he could move still. Yep. All right, so I'll do another action. Because a round is in six seconds, right? So that's plenty of time to drop to the ground. 12? 12 on your... Hang on, where's this guy? He's technically flat-footed. He is flat-footed.

[01:05:12] I'm just looking it up right now. Just do a bad roll. Flat-footed is a 16. Ooh, okay. No. You hit... So what did you do to the first game? So the first one, yeah, what do you... So what damage did you do to the first one? I didn't roll damage yet. Oh, okay. I'll do damage from the second one. It's okay. Yes. Is it this guy? Yeah. Okay. That's... 10. 10 damage? Okay. So that guy is gonna be... Down to that. Okay, cool.

[01:05:42] Yeah, black, blue, puss, and, like, ichor just splashes against the ground. Or actually... This was a 7, not a 12, because it's my second attack. If it splashes on them, can we see them? Because they're magical, and if their blood is... Well, he's bleeding, so we'll be able to see that. You do see a black, blue-ish, like, spot now, like, kind of... Or, like, dripping. Like, you see some, like, dripping spot. Ew, okay. But... So we roughly know where that one is. Yeah. But you get your coach dust. Are we rolling initiative now? We're gonna roll initiative now, yeah.

[01:06:12] Okay. 20. Uh, 20. 17. Hey, these guys are going pretty soon. Pretty... Basically first. Um, what did you guys get? 20. 20, 17. These guys have both rolled 18 and 19. So... Oh! Initiative-wise, they are going...

[01:06:41] Yeah, they're going 21 and 22. So... Hand one and two. Where's an eraser? You're an eraser. You're a towel. You're a towel. No, I'm a... I'm a large, uh... It's a book publisher. You're a towel. Okay, let's see. You're a towel! And then you're... 20? Uh, 20. Also, I'm assuming I haven't regained grit or nothing since the last time because it hasn't been a day.

[01:07:11] Sorry, man. That's cool. Actually, I would give you a grit for, like, that. For shooting it? For shooting it? For shooting it? I did kill with my gun. You did kill with your gun, yeah. Okay, so I got my grit back. Okay, cool. Yeah. Um, Wayland and Balthazar. Cool. Alright, so, uh, yeah, I guess top of the round, um, the hand, the hand one is going to sheet, uh, is going to, uh... Is this wounded hand? This is wounded hand. Okay. Um, not wounded knee. Okay. Uh, is going to launch itself at you. At me? Um, yeah.

[01:07:40] And actually, no, it's actually weird. It sprays something at you. Okay. Um, it sprays... You see a torrent of the black... This thing that looks like another little hand that just comes at your face. No, you see a torrent of black-blue ichor spray your way. Okay. Uh, because I realized that they have this power called Puss Burst. This is gonna say, I forgot that they had that. Actually, you have to, I don't have to roll anything. You have to roll DC 50. You have to roll reflex save to, uh... I was gonna say, it sounds like that kind of situation. Yep.

[01:08:08] So, as basically just a hose of black-blue ichor comes out of this thing. It comes out of nowhere. Wait. Reflex? Uh, reflex, yeah. 25. You, holy jeez, effortlessly taut jump out of the way as this ichor hits the tree behind you, like a couple of feet up behind you, and melts part of the bark away. Oh. Um, apparently their ichor can be used as an acid of some kind or something. Oh. Um, and then... Use that for something. Um, you guys start hearing, um...

[01:08:39] Keep on alive and keep farming it for access. I'm gonna say, um... Like what you do? Spider. Undine? Or undun? Yes. Um, roll a perception check. Yeah. My pets. Um, yeah. Um, yeah. My pets. Um, yeah. My fingers. My fingers. What's 17 plus 8? That's 25. 25? Uh, you hear snapping of...

[01:09:03] You actually, like, see some twigs land on your shoulder, and you look up to some sounds of snapping, and the body of the wizard is directly above you, and it looks like it just kind of goes up a little second, and then is thrown down at you. Okay. So roll reflex. Damn it. To not take 2... Mama banana! To not take 2d6 of damage or fall damage from this thing. Nine? Nine?

[01:09:33] That is not enough. No. No. So you are just gonna get bashed by a corpse. Ah! You got that, Tony? Okay. What was it, actually? I have no idea. I was like, if you fall, like this body. Uh, you take 6 damage. Uh, fall damage. Uh, like crashing damage, basically. As you are just like, a corpse, a full grown man's corpse is just dropped down on you. Alright. Alright.

[01:10:03] Um, and then, uh, that is the, going to be its turn. Um, and then it is, uh, Undun. What are you doing? Alright. Uh, so we know where the one is. And there's one above you, and there's one, um, probably about 5-10 feet away from, uh, uh, Wayland. Okay. Based on the trajectory of that, of that burst of, uh, of that, of Icar.

[01:10:33] I am, oh my god, that does negative energy damage. That puss. Yeah, it's negative energy damage, as long as it's not negative levels. Nope. Um, I'm going to attack the one that I know where it is. So I'm gonna punch the crap out of it. Okay. If I can. So, black is primary, red is secondary. You get like 3 attacks at once, right? 3? Is it 3 or 2? Just 2. Okay, 2. I think, like, next round, next one you get 3 or something like that. I think so, yeah. I think so, yeah.

[01:11:02] You missed a good opportunity. You should have said, Undun, what are you doing? Undun, undun. Next time. Uh, does a 16 hit? Uh, 16. Um, it's not flat-footed anymore. Uh-oh. Hang on. Uh, nope, does not do it. Does an 18 hit? No. Is it flying in the trees, or is it hanging on to the trees? Um, you know, actually, I would say at this point, it is, the one that's pussing is actually, like, like, it's probably clinging to the trees.

[01:11:28] Although you guys don't see it, but it's, it is, it'll, it is also completely, uh, like, uh, relatively invisible, right? Relatively? I mean, it's, it's, it's completely invisible, except for some, like, liquid that's pouring somewhere out. This is the shot one? Yeah. In the trees? I'm invisible. Can you see me? Yeah, it's like, uh, yeah. About your level. Two hands there. Oh, so the one that I shot jumped up, grabbed, grabbed the body and threw it at him? No, that's the other one. Then which one's bleeding? The one that attacked you. There are two. You said that the one in the tree is bleeding. One in the, one of the trees, okay, you're all, trees are all around you.

[01:11:58] Yes. There's one on your level that you shot because it attacked you. And there's one. And then there's one that had the body was up, uh, up in the trees and it dropped the body on, tried to, uh, is unharmed. Yeah. Okay. So he's going to punch the one that, uh, that you shot. So would invisibility cover still apply to it? Because it is basically still completely invisible except for maybe a spot. It's taking a shot in the dark like what I did. Yeah, so it's just some liquid, like, dripping.

[01:12:28] So I guess perception check first? Yeah, where did the body come from? Eh, you can make a guess. Oh no, he's punching at the bleeding one. He's punching the bleeding one, but yeah. Can't he just aim at the blood? Like, does that count? Is it revealed now? That would be a call shot skill. He just aim for the five foot square and hope for the best. He still gets to roll his attack roll. Okay. Um, and he's got the same 50% missus as you have. So it bleeding is just showing him what five foot square it's in. Not the exact outline of it so he can't attack it properly.

[01:12:57] Well, basically he's trying to punch something the size of a fly. So if he was actually trying to physically hit that one singular part, he could make a called shot to do it, but the AC on a fly is absurdly high because it's a fly. Yes. So yeah, you roll your attack and then roll percentage to see if you hit it or not. So if you hit with your attack... So did that hit it then? Uh, no. Well, yeah. None of yours actually hit it because an 18 and a 16 don't hit. Oh, okay. Sorry, that's what we were trying to figure... Sorry.

[01:13:26] We were trying to clarify if it's clinging to... It's on the ground. It's on the trees or like... Yeah, it's on ground level. I'll just say for simplicity's sake, it's on the ground level. It hit the tree, cracked the tree, because it missed a diving jump at me. So I would assume it would be falling. Yeah, it is on the ground. Yeah, it is on the ground. It's not prone. It's not prone at this point because it got up basically. I'm saying it fell prone, got up. Yeah. And then it's... Okay, yeah. I'll see. Sorry, yeah. Just a second, Dave.

[01:13:54] Sorry, if you have an object that has fingers at the bottom and tentacles at the top, where's prone? It doesn't really matter if it's on the ground or not. Both sides are not prone. Well, okay, fine. Yeah. But it's not on its toes. Yeah. On its fingers. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so yeah, you... Yeah, so neither of your attacks really did hit because it wouldn't be flat-footed at this point. Okay. It was only flat-footed when... Yes, because it was like mid.

[01:14:23] All right, so you're punching in the air, yeah. You missed both attacks. But wait a minute, it's your turn. And your friend just went into melee with it. That's fine. I have a feat that negates that. That's good. So that's fine. So yeah, I'll just take a couple... Damn it. Yeah, I guess at this point I might as well take a couple shots at it. Okay. Same kind of deal. Let's go bam bam, see what happens. With your buckler or with your... No, I'm keeping the buckler for like... With the Winchester. For backup situations with the Winchester. With the Mayor's leg? Pretty much, yeah. So with the Mayor's leg now? Yeah.

[01:14:52] I was using it the first time too. Okay, I wasn't sure. That's my main weapon right now. Yeah. You just hear it like in the back of your mind. Yeah, he's happy. Okay, so we're trying for two hits. Seven. Three. Okay. That was... Can the blast be like almost like a horse... Like a main... Like when they're like really aggressive kind of like thing? Sure. Or do you just hear that kind of in the background of the blast? Okay. Yeah. Either way I got 17 and 10. Wait, sorry.

[01:15:22] Eight. 17 and eight. Miss? Miss is... Yeah. Bam bam, miss. Yeah. Alright, it is Balthazar's turn. Finally. Yeah. You got the dust. Get the dust scooped up. Staff. You just use that? Mm-hmm. Okay. I should use that entire action to reload if you were going to do that. It's a slightly different effect. It still works.

[01:15:50] Like they are now visible or like they now... Because it covers everything, right? Like in the next... In like a huge radius? It's not a huge radius, but it's big enough. Okay, yeah. So they're not completely detailed like they kind of were before with like as if they were like coded with all the stuff because it is not mage or not wizard dust. Like the dust of sorcerers or something. Or like a human being. Oh, because you're using an animal instead of dust of sorcerers. You're using a lesser life form sacrifice kind of thing. But you do get a kind of dotted line outline of the creature.

[01:16:19] Basically, it's kind of like a very faint silhouette, but it will negate the effect of the 50-50 shot. Roger that. So basically, it looks like you're attacking silhouettes of hands. Large hands. And is that your only... That's your full round? That's my full round, yeah. Okay, so top of the round. The one right next to you that you're punching or missing is just going to roll reflex.

[01:16:47] It's going to squirt another blast of plus at you. Damn it! How many times are you going to do that? Ooh, that one! It is... I just jumped into it. Basically, it's just a power. It's just a special attack it has. But there's no limitation on that. No, there is no limitation on that. You can just spam it. It says at the end of it that it recharges once every four rounds or something. It does not. They can do it infinitely. Yeah. Yeah, it says... Yeah.

[01:17:17] Yeah. Strixie... So I'm going to take a die. So... So... So... Creature struck by the plus becomes nauseated for 1d3 rounds and takes 2d6 points of negative energy damage. The save DC is charisma based. All right. So... It says that the save DC is charisma based. Right? For the nauseation and stuff like that. Save DC is charisma based.

[01:17:44] Meaning that the DC set by the ability is based on their charisma, not on their spellcasting ability. So on the creature's charisma. Okay. For the DC. Not the saving throw. The DC that sets the difficulty for the saving throw. Okay. Yeah. Because it's already set to 15. Yeah. So just use the 15. Okay. Cool. All right. Cool. Yeah. I gotcha. In case we managed to do something that damaged its charisma. Gotcha. Okay. There we go. Cool.

[01:18:15] Yeah. Because this is basically... I haven't really... The only thing I modified about this creature was that it was invisible. Otherwise, this is something from the book. Oh, right. I was going to say... Right. I don't have a d3. But no. I don't have a d12 for some stupid reason. What? You never use them. Sometimes I use them. Well... You're a barbarian. In D&D, the d12 is only used by a barbarian for their hit points and their greataxe. Okay. Those are the only two things that use a d12.

[01:18:43] So if you're not a barbarian, you never use a greataxe. You never need it. That's weird. Pretty much. 10 damage. Negative energy damage. So basically just 10 damage. Like to my HP? No. Oh yeah. To your HP, yeah. And you are nauseated for three rounds. Ooh. As you are just... So what does that mean? Coated with this horrible black ichor that is like burning at some of your clothes. And just reeks like...

[01:19:12] Like that smell you guys have been smelling whenever these things are around. And like... It's basically what that smell is coming from. It's like basically rancid death. Like a thousand times. But it's been like pestulating and postulating for the last 10,000 years. Yeah. In some super soaked tube. What does that mean for me? Like what kind of... So you're nause... You have the status nauseated. Okay. Which probably means you have some kind of ailment, which I have to grab the book to check. I'm checking it. Okay, cool.

[01:19:42] I will check as well. Oh no. It's probably just a... Some kind of effect. Um, definitely. Nauseated. Creatures with a nauseated condition experience stomach distress. Dauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move action per turn. Oh god.

[01:20:11] For how long? For three rounds. Oh fuck. That's horrible. Yeah. Yup. So you're puking. Basically. Um, for the next three rounds. Run away is the no. Um, you guys did also actually... Yeah, yeah. The major armor wouldn't really die anything because this is... This was a reflex. I forgot that major armor was a thing. Yeah. I mean, I haven't been attacked yet, so... Yeah, exactly. Um, so then we have the... Because it's a reflex, it doesn't matter at all.

[01:20:39] Then we have the next one's turn, and it's actually still targeting you. Damn it. So, yeah, it's gonna just come down on you. It's gonna roll a... It's just basically soaring down with a fucking 22 damage. Oh yeah, that hits me. With your major armor? Four? You have plus four onto your armor. It doesn't. Tygo's the player. You have plus four on that, which makes it 22.

[01:21:08] Yeah, I will say Tygo's the player. You have 22 because he gave you major armor. So you basically retch as it just pummels into the ground with a fist. And this is you. Nice. Yeah. As you lean over to puke. Awesome. And then it is your turn, but you really... Are you just stepping away? Like, getting back away from that? Yeah, I'm gonna get to the other side of the fight for now. Go behind a tree and puke somewhere. Yeah. You basically do that. You get away from the crater it just left. Just keep puking.

[01:21:38] Again, it left a crater, but it... Again, like, none of the dirt kicked up right into that. Actually, it passes through it, basically. Too red. Or feel... It looks like it doesn't... Like, it doesn't create anything aside from the silhouette that you guys can see of it. It's weird. Their invisibility is really fucked up. Like, they do not impact the earth whatsoever. No, they impact the earth. They did... That fist did create a crater. But there's no dust on it. But the dust didn't kick up onto it. Like, it doesn't stick to it.

[01:22:11] Yes. And David... Essentially, impact with no gravitational effect. We have... Is that... I was gonna say, is that grid paper? There's one piece of... No, a couple. No. I was gonna say, we... Okay. It doesn't matter. We can still use them. I was gonna say, look, we can do that, or if you guys are, like, getting confused... Oh, it's okay. Don't worry about it. We got enough dice here to set up the situation. I just need to know where I am. Why did you draw a panel to Anderson's boots? Anyway. Here's us three. There's them two. Because they're like... So...

[01:22:40] It's not what... Anyway, so... It's too far for me to smack. He runs off and goes behind the tree. Okay, so fine. Left to right. One, two, three. So one, you ran behind a tree. Two, I am near him. Yeah. And you... Where were you? I'm assuming you were just on the path. Like, if this line... Because I was... In four, I agree. I'd say you were actually... The fox I did say was off the trail. Like, off the trail into the woods a little bit. Fine. So you're in the battlefield as well.

[01:23:10] Funny that you should say fox because I really wanted to kill a fox last night. Okay. Is it that one? Is it that goddamn drainpipe one? It made one hell of a god-awful racket outside the Juliet balcony. Yeah. And it set the dogs off at three o'clock in the morning. Oh, shit. Well, you're welcome. Like half an hour. For inadvertently giving you catharticism. Like, I woke up thinking, where's my fucking crossbow? Damn. Uh, Wayland, you are up.

[01:23:41] As the, uh... That would be pretty good. One of the most impacted, nearly impacted by your friend is like ran off to like, people behind a tree. Um, you can see these things now. Or, kind of. You see the outlines of them. Yes. Okay, so, just so we have the situation. Chris is behind a tree. Yeah. I, like, we're gonna say this line is the path. This crack of the table. Sure. So, um, I'm probably still on the path. He went off the path to get that. This thing's in a tree somewhere. Uh, or did it jump down? It jumped down right next to where he was. It jumped down to where he was before he moved behind.

[01:24:11] Yeah. So, basically, they're actually really close to him. So, I'm assuming it's on the path. Let's just say that. Yeah. We'll say that. Okay, fine. And this one... And then the other one would be closer to the woods. Yes. But just off the path. Yeah. Because it was the one that went past me. Yeah. Actually, at one point, it went past me to hit the tree. Yeah. So, we'll say it's like that kind of situation. Fine. Okay. Just so we have a good visualization and we know where line of sights are and such. Yep. So, what do you do? My turn? Yeah. Um... Smile, you son of a bitch. Bam.

[01:24:41] Is the one that just hit, is it at any point flat-footed? It is not. Okay, fine. It's down and then like, oh, it spreads its fingers and just kind of like, assumes the battle stage. Battle pose. Cool. It did the superhero landing. Like this. Oh, so incredible. Basically. Exactly. Exactly like that. Yeah. Cool. It did superhero landing and then like, activated its limbs. Oh, so incredible. Anyway, um, I have a question. Yes.

[01:25:11] Um, so, standard actions, I have one standard action per round, right? Yeah. Because a move and a standard? But I can't take two standard actions? No. Or is that an... That is correct. If you think of it this way. Unless you have a... The math lines up. ...team for it. There are six seconds in an action. In a full round action. Yeah. A standard action takes up three and a half seconds. A move equivalent is two and a half seconds. So, you can do two move equivalent actions. Mm-hmm. Still have a second left over.

[01:25:39] Or you can do one standard action and a move equivalent. Or you can do four round attack. Or you can do a full attack action, which is a separate thing. But you do take a minus on the second attack because reasons. Unless you have two weapon fighting or... Because you don't have two standard attacks. Yeah. Okay. You don't have two weapon fighting and you don't have another feat that would speed you up essentially either way. Okay. Is there an app for speeding somebody up so that they can do two move equivalent actions without having two weapon fighting?

[01:26:08] I think the spell haste does that or something. But I don't know. So if you have haste and you have two weapon fighting, does that mean you can make four fucking attacks? Maybe. Possibly. You'd have to ask Aaron about the spell. What's the spell haste do? Haste allows you to make one extra attack at your base attack bonus. Or an extra move action. Oh. Okay. That's still nice though. Three attacks. That's still pretty nice. Yeah. Okay. So... Oh. Also Aaron. Or possibly Chris if you know.

[01:26:38] Reloading. Is that a move equivalent action? I don't remember. That should be. We talked about it last time but I forget. Okay. I think we decided that with a move equivalent action you could reload two rounds. Okay. Because we were basically using the rules of reloading from D20 Cthulhu because it's far more accurate and you prefer accuracy as far as fire. If I use a standard action would that be more then? Like three rounds?

[01:27:08] You can... But if it's a full round then it's the entire thing? If it's a full round then it's the whole thing. Okay. But if I sacrifice a standard action maybe three, four? I wouldn't actually even bother differentiating it because it's only a second difference. Yeah. Okay. So two rounds. All right. So then I'm going to... Because they're kind of close together. Not really. But he could... Yeah. They're actually probably within five feet of each other because one of them impacted

[01:27:36] right where he was and he was punching the one that hit you. Or the one that was attacking you. Okay. So they are both... Are they in the same square? They're probably within the same square. Okay. Well if I do this, stertling shot, purposely miss a creature. The creature is flat footed until next turn. Would that be everyone in the square? That... It's... Does it say specifically creature?

[01:28:06] That's what I wrote down, but this is summarized. Okay. I can find it real quick if you want. Oh. Yeah. Sorry, man. You're kind of bad at the game for the next three. Oh, no. I know. Two rounds. It's basically just going to be me hiding behind a tree. Oh, God. Standard action to purposely miss a creature that you would normally hit with a firearm attack. So it's against one creature. Okay. Okay. So I have to pick which one gets... Has to deal with this? I guess. I suppose so.

[01:28:36] Yeah. Okay, fine. So then I'm going to use my standard action to do a stertling shot on the one that's already wounded to hopefully keep it there. Ooh. I'm going to use a free action and say, wait. Okay. That's literally an action you can take. Oh, okay. No! No! Okay, now. No! Oh, but I'm going to go with, wait for it!

[01:29:06] In that case, I'll... Actually, I hate to bring this up for rules-wise. Would an undead creature be affected by that attack? By that maneuver? That depends. Is it an intelligent undead creature? It was literally lost. It was just lost. Yeah. I will say, well, it's wise. It's not quite intelligent. Well, but... It's got an intelligent score, but it's not... Okay. If it has an intelligent score, then yes. Okay. Okay. It's got an abysmal intelligence score of two. All right. You can startle a dog. Yeah. That's true. Okay.

[01:29:36] Yeah. All right. So then I'm just going to... I'll use my move action to move away. Just away a little bit, I guess. And I'll use my standard action to reload a couple of rounds. Okay. And then it is Balthazar. Okay. They occupy the same square within at least... Yeah, within five feet of each other. Cool. All right. Well, then I'm going to... Wait. Where am I in relation? You're in the woods still a little bit. You're number three. Yeah. Okay.

[01:30:06] Like that's... This line is the trail. Yeah, sorry. You're on the trail. This is the one that hit the tree. This is what the tree was. And he's... Chris is throwing up. I did one, two, three, and left or right from where we are. I'm going to move here. Okay. And I'm going to hit the motherfuckers with a river of wind. Which is a spell I've never got to use before. Okay. So go ahead and roll a... Fortitude. Fortitude? For both of them? It's not. No, it's magical. So for both? Magical pixie dust. Right. So that was going to be a...

[01:30:35] I don't know, like ten. Spells that I've never got to use. Mm-hmm. And that's going to be a one. Cool. Okay. So that's a big old fail on both of them. Nice. So what do they do? Do they find the nearest tree to go... They are medium-sized undead. Just putting that out there for the spell. Alright. So I will very quickly... Use carrier. Kill them. Oh wait, no. Use a phoenix down. Kills them immediately. Yeah, totally. Does it work?

[01:31:04] Yeah, in Final Fantasy, if you run into an undead creature, you throw a phoenix down at them, they die. It's because phoenix down is a life-op. That's a remarkable product. Okay. Nice. Stream of wind causes non-lethal damage and can knock down or push the worst creatures. The non-lethal damage doesn't matter because they're undead. Um... Like in Final Fantasy, there's a scene where you're on the train and you're on the train and you're on the train and you're on the train and you're on the train and you're on the train and you're on the train and you're on the train and you're on the train

[01:31:33] Essentially at the line where you're throwing a net, you can't fucking fight him and Okay. Yeah, so fortitude save. So what does that equal out for their fortitude? I don't know. Uh... That's a big deal. One of them got a 10. One of them got a... Oh, a nat 1. So they failed abysmally. Cool. Yes. Yes, they failed abysmally. Okay. So then they are prone and uh... Uh... have been knocked 20 feet...

[01:32:03] Into the... Well, no. Into the nearest tree. Yeah, basically into the trees. So... Whichever tree stops them first. I'll roll a percentage to see if one of them hits... If they actually hit a tree or not. Okay. Or should you do like a... You should roll another percentage to see if they hit a tree after they hit a tree if they get impaled by a branch. Or should you do like a d10 for like how many feet they go? Yeah, I will do that. Or two d10s for how far they go until they hit a tree. Yeah. Because it's 20 feet. First off, I'm going to roll high for one and then low for the other. Okay. To see if they actually hit a tree or not.

[01:32:34] I mean... High, so that one hits a tree. Or no, that one does not hit a tree. So it hits the full 20 feet. Before it hits a tree. Basically. Like... Because you're going to hit a tree by the end of the tree. Yeah, right. You know. So... And... And that one was low and that one hit a 78. So they both go... Go very far. They both get the full 20 feet distance before they hit smack into trees. So they're over there. Okay. So... So they each take 2 die 6 damage from impact. Okay. Do I get to roll in? Oh yeah, sure.

[01:33:04] Oh, do you want 6 and 3 for one of them? Sure. Or do you think you can do better? Yeah, I'll take that. Okay. So that's a 9 damage for one. And that's a 9 damage for the other. Okay. That's pretty fair. Yeah, it's all good. That's pretty awesome, actually. Well done. Yes. And this persists for... What do you mean persists? Like it's constant wind? Yeah, I can keep that. Oh, I figured it was just... Sorry.

[01:33:30] And it also means that they have to struggle against the wind, which leaves them flat-footed. Ooh. Wow. Which is what you were trying to do to have won a man. Yeah. That's true. I was really only doing that just to slow him down while I reloaded. But... I wasn't setting anything up. Now you have your action. Well, I went before you. No, but you held an action. Wait it. Yeah. Basically, I was telling you to...

[01:33:57] The action is called to delay your action, which means that you get to move your action to somewhere else in the acting world. Oh. Okay. When you said that, I'm like, okay, I'll just stop doing that and then I'll continue my action. I moved and reloaded. So did that make that happen? Oh, okay. Yeah. Then... I stuffed two shots. I didn't need to reload. But you moved and reloaded, which... Okay, yeah. That's two move actions. Okay. I'm just saying I can negate that if that's how weight works. If you take your turn before me because you do that? You held your...

[01:34:26] If you held your action. Yeah. Or basically... I just didn't understand the word. You can either choose to move your whole action, like your spot in the initiative order, to after mine, or you could delay just your standard action until after I go use your standard action. Okay, then I'll do that. I'll just do that. The previous one, my move action was reloading, so I still have the standard action now. Okay. Fine. So I didn't move, so I am over on the road still. Yeah. It is also top of the round, so it is hand one, hand two. Okay.

[01:34:56] Then one thing two? Yeah, basically. So do they need to roll fortitudes again to keep up with that wind? Yeah, they can give me a fortitude save to try to move against it. They are going to try and move against it. You see them trying to crawl, but also trying to float, because they can do both, basically. Keep in mind, if they're flying, they take a penalty to their fortitude. Okay, they will then probably, the first one's going to try to float, so it's a 16 normally for fortitude. And it takes a what penalty?

[01:35:27] Let's go with a minus two. So minus two? Okay, so. Because I'm not sure what exactly it would take. I think it's a minus four, but let's go minus two. 14 then on that first fortitude. No. Okay, so it flies a little bit back. And then the other one notices that and is going to... Try crawling? Try crawling. So. That is going to be a 15. No. Okay, so they both go back. Or are they basically just stuck then? Yeah, they just don't move. Basically can't move. Okay, yeah. So the one tries like...

[01:35:57] And the other one's like... I like you doing this with hands, because that's actually what it looks like. That's actually what they are. And then... So it is Undun. Are you puking? No, he's puking again. Which round is this? This is his second round, so one more round and then you'll be fine. Yeah. So you're making note of it. So Wayland, you're next. Okay. I'm kind of being sick. They are flat-footed before a tree. Oh, I can't wait to hit one of these things. It'll do so much fucking damage.

[01:36:28] No shit. If they're like stacked against each other, if he punched the first one, would it do like half damage to the one behind it? If they're touching? If it's a nat 20, yeah. Only nat 20s? Only nat 20. If they're literally pressed against each other and you punch him, you would feel it. And also if they're adjacent to each other, I automatically cleave them. Have you ever wore a chain mail shirt? No. Okay. You're a little big for mine. Okay. I can't really show you what that's like. Have you put it on and punch me? Yeah. Oh, okay. Notice how low it you even notice it. Really? Yeah.

[01:36:57] You wouldn't think it would do much. Anyways. No, you wouldn't think it would, but it does as a part of you. Anyway, now. Okay. Also, body armor. Anyway. Yeah, so I can keep up the wind for seven rounds. They're not past my first range increment yet. No, I actually don't really get an inch. They're at least 20.25 feet away from them. Okay, so at this point, yeah, I'll just take a couple shots at them. Okay. Yellow's first. Bronze's second.

[01:37:27] Oops. That one walked the paper, so I was going to rewrite it. Technically, when you roll them, you can decide. I've heard which one wants you to which. Yeah. Oh. Hold on. Because you may miss with one and not the other. Oh, I didn't know it mattered. Okay. So. If you roll two dice, if you roll one at a time, then you have to go first attack, second attack. So wouldn't it always be better to roll two at a time? Yeah. Yeah, okay, cool. Yeah. Right now, these things could talk.

[01:37:57] They'd be like, fucking wizards. I'm not a wizard. No, no, but the wind. Oh, yeah, totally. Because I'm just like, they're basically going to be struggling for the next seven rounds. So I got a 20 and a 19 to hit the both. Okay, that definitely hits both of them. Cool. Oh, no, it hits one of them. Because one of them is going one and one is going the other. Oh, are they not together? They're not together. So they're both side by side? They're basically side by side-ish. I'm probably just going to focus on the one that's wounded. Okay. So I'm putting both hits on this. Okay.

[01:38:27] Okay. So both on those ones? Yes. That was the one that was trying to fly and then came back down, so. Cool. They're side by side, but that one, because it tried to fly, is now more on the tree. Like above the tree. A little bit up on the tree. Okay. Alright. Then damage on that guy twice. I just pictured like a weird balloon. Just like... That's really fucking good. That's 14 and 13. Like when you try to smack a balloon toward a fan? Yes.

[01:38:56] So that'd be like 14, 13. That's almost 37. 27? Yeah. These things don't have to sacrifice... I don't have to roll 14 for critical damage. Because they are undead. Okay. That one's not doing too good. Good. That was my brand. That one has definitely lost a couple of fingers. Nice. Like snapped off, basically. You just see... I shot two of his fingers off. You just see the sound... Like they just splash splat into ichor. Like splat...

[01:39:25] Actually, I have a question. If I did sever a finger, would it become visible? Actually? It doesn't become visible. It becomes... Well, it becomes visible in a way. It melts into the ichor. Okay. Yeah. But if it didn't melt, would it be visible? If it stayed whole. If it stayed whole, yeah. But no, they are melting. Yes. Just like those damn hands from The Legend of Zelda. I definitely did not... Kind of. So cool. Or the wall mask. Yeah. Anyway. They're creepy.

[01:39:55] Awesome. So... Fucking have you. Those things are scary as shit. That is your one attack? That's my entire round. If those were real, I wouldn't go into that. Kha'Zhuzhar. Okay. Fuck that temple. Alright. We didn't. How do you have to think about it anymore? It's going. It's going for seven rounds. How many? Are they in a line? Seven. Jeez. It's one round per... No, they're side by side. Side by side. Well, technically one's on top of each other... Of the other because he's trying to float. Yeah. Alright. Oh. I just hit the one at the top.

[01:40:26] Okay. I'm going to take my move action and go up here. Okay then. You are now up here. Okay. You're up in the trees. I can levitate. You float. At will. Yeah. You're up among the trees. Which gives me a line of effect on both of them. So I can hit them both with a lightning bolt. Yeah. You couldn't from down here? No. No, because I would be hitting just one of them. Oh, okay. So from...

[01:40:55] It's a five foot line. Okay. So if I'm above, then I can catch them both in the five foot line. But if I'm... Oh, I see what you're saying. ...playing then... Yep. Okay. Cool. Okay. So give me reflex saves. Give them a minus two penalty. That's a nat 20. Okay. So that's for the grievously injured one. Somehow got like a nat 20 on that. Despite being the one on top. And that is going to be a 12. And...

[01:41:26] Oh, that was the wrong stats. Um... That's going to be an 18 normally. What was the penalty? 16. Minus two. Minus two? Okay, so 16 for the reflex. Okay, so he failed. Okay, so that one failed. Yeah. I hit them both. It's just a... One rolled an nat 20 on reflex. What? They both take damage, but one... But one takes half damage. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Let's see. Oh, so it might not even matter. Roll.

[01:41:56] Okay, so. Shite. Uh, 10. Let me ask you this. 20. Is half damage greater than six? Yeah, half damage is 14. Okay, one of them just dead. Okay. The other one takes 28. Okay. Ha ha. Fry, motherfucker. So I need to pull this. I need to calculate her. Oh, did you see that? Are you shocked?

[01:42:24] So one of them just explodes into black blue ichor. Uh, actually, how far is that range? Is that attack on? Because that... I'm assuming that's the end of your going. I sure hope you're still alive because the thunder comes after him. Nice. All right, so yeah, that thing just black... Just pops like a zit. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Like a horrible invisible zit. Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, the first one. Oh, I'm bleeding. Because if it's seeing... As lightning just straight through it. You missed it.

[01:42:53] Spy had a cyst growing on her back, and I went to take a look at it, just like part the fur and take a look, and my fingers applied just the smallest amount of pressure on either side of it so I can try to get it tilted to the light and it erupted like the grossest zit you've ever seen. Oh, nasty. Well, it's like that basically. Like a fight. It literally just comes out out of nowhere because it was invisible basically. So. So. If the zit fishers like reality. Out of reality. That's a sound. That's a sound. But anyway, um.

[01:43:22] That is Balthazar. I like it with this much. Oh. All right. So that one's dead. Oh, gross. Next one though is, um, shaking off the lightning or the electricity. As it is. That one's unfazed, isn't it? Before that attack? Yeah, that was basically... That's the first hit? No, it took a couple of hits before. Did it? But it was basically almost nearly at full health before that blast. I don't remember anyone hitting it. Um, you shot it. No. I've never shot it. No, the damage, the tree damage. Right. Oh.

[01:43:51] The horizontal fall damage. Yes. Yes. Nice. I like that actually. That's good. All right. So. Power levels at 400%. How about that? How about that? And it's going to roll a 14. And that's going to be a 14 plus. 8, 4. So. 21. 21. 21 do it? Does 21 save it? It's out of the wind. Yes? That'll beat the fortitude. Okay. So it's. It gets about.

[01:44:21] So. Half of. It's normal speed. Yeah. So that'll be 30. It goes 60. Is it normal speed? No. 30. No, no, no. 30 feet is it's normal speed. It's normal walk. So it'll be 15. So it almost gets to you on its full move. Blech. On its move. And then it's going to try and spray at you. At me? Yeah. Because you're right there. So. I'm going to say. So it's spraying a torrent of stuff into the wind. Yeah.

[01:44:50] Is it spitting into the wind? You know what I'm going to do? It is. It actually is. I'm going to be. I'm going to be really nice. I'm going to roll a percentage. Just to see how hard it fits? High. Okay. For high velocity. That'll be a little bit loud. Uh, that's. Is that a three or? That's a three. That's a three. So it definitely. It's. It's a spit on itself. All over its face. Well, it doesn't have a face. Actually, kind of does. Except that. Shit. It is a. Okay.

[01:45:20] This is actually really bad for us. Why? Why? Because Chris already slipped that it's undead. Yeah. And that this does negative energy damage. Which, in fact, heals it. And I just rolled its reflex. Oh, no. It's not. No, actually, no. It wouldn't reflex for its own thing. Yeah. So it's just going to take. It's going to heal a little bit. Really? Yeah. It's negative energy damage. Damage? It gets coated by its own goop. You actually see a lot more of it now. Because it actually coats itself.

[01:45:49] You see it actually has eyes on its knuckles. Oh, creepy. It actually blinks a couple of times. And it. Some of its limbs that popped when it got hit by lightning. Regenerate. Like, grow back. Um. As it's just like, huh, how about that? So the wind is still happening. And it's happening, like, in this kind of column situation? Yeah. Yeah. Not all of its. I will say not all of its wounds have been healed. But it has healed itself. Undun, you are still sick. This is the last. Oh, yes.

[01:46:19] Next round, I'm good. Next round, you're good. You're like. You've. You're dry heaving at this point. It's funny. Last week. I'm sorry. Last week, I'm like. I really want. Take seven subdual damage from dry heaving for the last three rounds. How much subdual damage do I have? When you get your full amount of subdual damage, you're knocked out. Yeah. Oh. So you're just green. Yeah. Take seven. He might as well not do it. I'm just being a dick. Because you're being a dick. Winchester.

[01:46:49] Yeah. That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. It has regenerated some old bits, but it is. And it is a lot closer to you now. Oh. I see. Well. Well, then I'm going to take a shot with Starbuckling Shot to purposefully miss it, knocking it flat-footed, which I'm assuming will push it back. It's already flat-footed. Is it?

[01:47:19] Yeah. Aaron, as long as it's in that torment of wind, it's still flat-footed. It's been flat-footed the whole time. But if you stun it enough and you can't make it go back? Well, you'd have to roll Fortitude Save against it. Technically, every round on my turn, it has to make a Fortitude Save again or fly back. Yeah. But any effects happening to it, doesn't it also have to do that? Technically, no.

[01:47:45] Because it's already crowd-controlled, there's no point re-crowd-controlling it kind of deal? Like, it has one status effect, so you can't apply other ones. You could apply different ones, but they don't stack. Well, yeah. I'm not trying to cast another wind. I'm trying to purposely miss it to startle it. Yeah. But it's causing the same status effect. Is it flat-footed? That's what it's causing? Yeah. Oh, okay. That's part of what it's causing. Okay. So mechanically, you won't really do anything. That's fine. I just want to know what I can and can't do with everything.

[01:48:13] Narratively, I might actually allow you to do that and then have it force it to roll out of Fortitude Save to get thrown again back. Because it did make itself its way to 15 feet. But it could, like, lose it, like, you could startle it again for it to, like, lose its footing and fall back again through the wind. If you want to, like, if you want me to apply a narrative reason for that. Well, if I pistol... It's not in range, is it? Of melee? Of melee? It's like 15 feet away. Yeah, it's like 15 feet away. Okay, I was going to say.

[01:48:43] Well, in the situation, if it was on me, if I pistol whipped it, which caused it to knock it prone, was that doing it? Sorry, it's actually probably about, like, 5 feet away from you because it... It flew 20. Oh, of 20. So, yeah. Yeah, so it's probably a little closer to you than that. Okay, well, if I do something that applies to knock the target prone, is that the same thing? As flat-footed? Is prone the same as flat-footed? No. No. Prone is on its back. Yeah. When a creature is prone, it is also flat-footed.

[01:49:13] Mm-hmm. But they're separate things. Prone is down. If it's prone, it's susceptible to attacks of opportunity. Yes. Well, when it... It's not susceptible to attacks of opportunity just from being prone, but the act of getting back up makes it susceptible to attacks of opportunity. Oh. Yeah. In melee or range? Just in melee. Okay. Yeah. So, if I pistol whip it and knock it prone, will that cause the wind to overpower it,

[01:49:42] or will that just cause it so it can't advance anymore? That's all. What do you want to do? I roll for it. It's safe to see if it doesn't. Okay. Okay. Well, I'll give it a go. Plus, I haven't pistol whipped anything. Just pistol whipped it. In one of the knuckles? Yeah, essentially. So, um... Melee attack with the gun. Middle finger. Same attack and damage bonus equal to enhancement bonus of the gun. So, I just roll my normal attack and that is my... Like, I roll my range attack and that is my melee attack for hitting. Uh...

[01:50:11] Isn't it strength? Well, I'm also using grit to do this. Oh, okay. So... Hmm. It says same attack and damage bonus equal to the enhancement bonus of the gun. Go for its thumb. Hand can't walk around with its thumb. Um... Aaron, is that... Would that be a... That's not a rank attack. Well, hey, it'd be like... That is a melee attack. So, you still get the bonuses as if you were shooting the gun, but you're using your strength modifier on... Or you're using your melee... Your melee base attack bonus instead of your range.

[01:50:41] I think... I think what it's indicating is that because it's grit, um... Because he's using grit for it... He gets his good stuff. ...his great... His better... Okay. In that case, then, yeah. Roll that. All right. Yeah. 12? 12? Yeah. It is flat-footed, but that's a 60. Shit. All right.

[01:51:10] Uh... So, yeah, you... You manage... Actually, you know what? Is he... Is your win... Is that win susceptible to everybody? Or is it just the enemies? Uh, no. It's everybody. You know what? Basically... I assumed it wasn't. That's... I wouldn't have done that if it was. Oh, no. If I didn't know what I was. It's... It's, uh... It's not really picky about who it... Who it... I wouldn't have done that otherwise. Sorry, man. Uh, uh. We... I'll say that... Like... Just for, like, humor's sake, I would say that, like... You...

[01:51:40] The torrent starts as you walk into... You walk into... You walk into the torrent of the wind? What? Okay. So, hypothetically... If you were, say... Jumping... With the wind... Oh, do a charge attack? On a charge, you could probably add your falling damage in damage. Which... And... Yeah? And you would get... Uh... Well, you'd get a plus two from a standard charge. So I would say a plus four to attack. Because, you know...

[01:52:09] It's accelerated by the wind. And you had a twelve earlier? Yeah. That would be a sixteen. That is... And Ty goes to the player. Do you want to go that way? Do you want to go, like... Now, if you're doing that... I want you to make some kind of, like... Last... Uh... I... I say we kill the creature right now. If you give me a badass, uh... Like, one-liner. And you're like... I am the wind! Ha ha ha ha ha! Uh... I'm a leap on... Ha ha ha! I'm a leap on the wind! Watch how I soar!

[01:52:38] I have to say that now. There's nothing I could think of that would be better than that. Um... You could go with something about the winds of vengeance. Uh... That is kind of your shtick. Oh, yeah. Or just like... Die! Die! No, I would not lie. That is not appropriate. No. Surprise! God! Nope, nope, nope. Too overused. Aw. It has to be a better one. Aw. But that's the best one. No. I mean, it's overused, unfortunately. I know, I know.

[01:53:09] Alright, well, um... As Balthazar was just like floating there like a mind freak. Yeah, pretty much. That's why I have the yellow dyes over there to signify this above us right now. Yeah. Anyway, so... Um... Yes. So... Yeah, I'll just... I'm gonna go with the leaf on the wind situation. I'm from 2018. I've seen the movie. It's fine. Um... You've seen that movie. It's like, hopefully I don't get impaled by one of these tentacles. It's like... That's fine. What's funny is if you'd have known what my next action was gonna be, that's how it could have ended up.

[01:53:39] What was your next one? Um... Ice spikes? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Ice spears. Oh, nice. Yeah, giant spears of ice just erupt from the ground. Nice. Yeah. Alright, so yeah, you hit it, and you strike it like right between all the eyes, like basically in the... What is that? The back of the hand, basically. Um... With the butt of your gun. It's a blade, technically.

[01:54:09] Oh, it is a blade. Well, if I'm doing pistol weapon, technically I'd be flipping around and hitting it with the blunt side. Yeah, the blunt side. To knock it out. Yeah, so yeah, that's what you're doing. Uh, and yeah, you basically just like, with enough force, you just... It erupts. And Icker surprisingly doesn't hit you doing damage. I'm not able to knock it out this way, I have to kill it? Oh yeah, because it's undead. Yeah. You can't knock it out? There's no knock it out. Oh really? Yeah, undead don't get knocked it out. I don't know these things. Um, anyway, um, yeah, you basically... It ruptures into critical hits. They're just dead or more dead.

[01:54:38] But, for this take, for this epicness, um, you may even get a grit out, or like a crit for this. Mm-hmm. Uh, you, you hit it, and it's like just the right spot, and it just ruptures, and splits, uh, and like parts. As it, and as its parts like fly back from the wind and some of that, it just melts into the... As I go with it, it's splat against the tree. That is true, actually. And I'm held against it for a time around. Roll a tumble. Oh no, I can dispel it.

[01:55:07] Oh, I know, but at least for the one round. Roll a, uh, is it tumbler athletics? Or acrobatics? Acrobatics. Roll acrobatics. Oh, I probably got this unless I roll bad. Please don't. Eh. Oh my god, boys. Oh yeah, that's a 29. Yes, that's a 29. So yeah, you go with the wind. I'm sorry, that's a 39. You go with the wind. Oh, 29. And roll, and then like catch, your feet catch the trunk, and like you jump up a little bit on the tree. You're standing on the tree. Or horizontal. Facing, looking up.

[01:55:37] With my coat blowing in the wind, standing majestically. And then when the wind stops, you fall, like, a little humorously into the needles and whatnot on the ground. I point to a balthazar, as he's floating, I'm like, yeah, I can do it too, and then I fall. And the wind dies. And then the wind goes. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, the creatures are vanquished. Yeah. Yay! There is a calm. But everybody roll me perception checks. Perception? Body's gone in.

[01:56:07] No, no, no. The body's still there. Son of a man. Spoilers. He, it's actually like, um... 12? 12? 12. 12? I rolled a 2 too. Um... 20. 20? Balthazar, you're up in the, uh, like, in the trees. You're probably up, what, 10 feet or so? I'm just trying to get back up. Uh, I'd say 30. 30 feet? Um, you hear something far in, like, deeper into the woods. Um, like, it's very distant.

[01:56:36] But it's this, like, the sound of mechanical whirring. And, like, the weirdest cry. But it's just something weird in the woods. Like, far off. You don't think it's coming toward you guys, but you definitely hear something in those woods. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Yeah. Uh, something like that. Um, is it the woods on the other side of the wall? Yeah, the deep one. Or inside? Inside. Within the woods. Okay. Like, within the township. It's in the forest of time.

[01:57:06] Okay. The deeper stuff. But that's all you see. You go out in the woods today, something, something, teddy bears have their picnic. Yes. Totally. Uh, but then you descend down to the, to the path. And, yeah, the body is... Lower yourself down to where us mortals are. Yeah. Just, the body is crumpled there. Um, off to the side of the road. I'm really sorry you were incapacitated that entire fight. He just gets up and he's like, he's so mad.

[01:57:33] He's like, you should know that if there is any combat to be had for the rest of today, um, it's all you. Um, I seriously hope so because that was, uh, taking some damage and subdue damage with my ass behind the tree just puking. So where are you taking the, uh... So what are you guys doing? Yeah, guys. You were tanking. Right? Because we didn't take any damage. God, actually. Oh, no. Sorry. Question. Where are you guys going now? Um, that the, like, the creatures are gone. It's a body.

[01:58:03] The body's there. That's... The body's there. Like, the body's on, like, crumpled and, like, horribly, like, maimed and battered. Yeah, that's what it's there. He's very badly burned. A little bit. So, I'm going to take this opportunity to take some more dust samples. Okay. We bring him back. He's just a skeleton. I don't know what they did to him. Do you want? What can I do, Doc? It was a splinter. What could be done? Well, it started out as a hand, but now it's just bones. I mean, at this point, we can tell them whatever we want. I don't know.

[01:58:33] At this point, do you really need to bring him back to the town? They know he's dead. They do. They do. We ate them. But, yeah, what are you doing with the body, and, like, where are you guys going from here? Oh, we should take him back to the town. You don't want to incinerate him and turn him into a giant bag of dust? Oh, no. I'm going to collect a few doses of dust. You need fingernails. Yeah, you really don't need a whole lot from him, but, like, it's just you grabbed not... You only grabbed, like, one use last time.

[01:59:01] We did fully search him when we found him, right? Yeah. A black musical. He had a wand of prestidigitation. Right. And the ring that you almost gave me. Yeah. That almost gave me a one to ship up the tower. It takes about another hour and a half to walk from town. Or about two hours to walk into town. Okay. Five doses of dust? Yeah. Sure. Is the body just on the tensor's disc? Yes. Can you cast it for free? Recovering it?

[01:59:29] Because that's going to be pretty disgusting for a townsfolk to see. Um, screw them. So compassionate. I'm so... I understand now why Davidson, like, thought, like, very highly of you when you returned. Oh, it's you. It's like, oh, I remember you already did well by us, and yeah, you're allowed to... I can throw my coat over him. Okay. Goddamn cretin. Oh. Don't do that. I got this.

[01:59:59] Okay. You're about to. It's like, all right. No. Cast another wait. No! Hey, Henry. I have the wait spell prepared like a dozen times. Prestidigitation? Um, actually, I was going to go with Minor Image. Okay. And just make it look like a nicely preserved corpse. Okay. Fair enough. Let's just make him look like he's alive. Just sleeping. Um, because that would be a lot. Why don't you make it look like a pile of teddy bears? No. Because then children would want to play with it. That's true.

[02:00:29] And only Mildred will know, and she'll want to play with it more. And that's just... Creepy but awesome. Yeah. She likes the stories of Gerald. Mm-hmm. She's a big, creepy bag of awesome. Bag of awesome. And it's not that she's big, and it's not that she's creepy. It's just that she's a creepy bag of awesome. It does not work. No, it doesn't. Anyway. Uh, so you guys get back into town. Um, the council, uh, comes out.

[02:00:58] Man, it's like... Are the creatures gone? Have they been defeated? I think so. But there's a weird sound coming from the, from the, uh, Forest of Time. Oh. Is that the Forest of Rhyme? No, the Forest of Time. That, that's probably nothing to be concerned about yet. You've got a new wizard now. It'll just be just fine. Yes. Yeah. Um, well, uh, what, you are our, you are our new wizard.

[02:01:27] Like you said, uh, what is the etiquette here with, for burying, with the burial of wizards? Yeah, generally speaking, we prefer, prefer to be burned. Because then it's harder for people to bring us back and enslave us, or create homunclei out of us, or other... Eat your body. Disgusting things. And fuck your body. I thought you were that kind of character. Touch your body. Hey, that's not my character, that's just me. Yeah, his character's not saying this, he is. I'm just...

[02:02:05] Um... Um... The old baggy does. Pete, Lord Pratt, um, goes over to, uh, to Doug. Uh, it's like, uh, Doug, why don't you go grab, uh, uh, some of the, um, uh, some of the, the churchgoers, and we'll, we'll set up a small funeral pyre, um, up behind the, out in the court, the back courtyard of the, the town center. You guys might want to clean him up a bit. He was dragged around a lot, through a lot of bad things.

[02:02:34] Uh, we will have the, the, the church witches deal with that. Cool. Or actually, how long does your, um, your spell last on it? Do we have to? They can probably just, it'll probably burn away with the, when they, when it burns, so. The tentative floating disc, or the illusion spell? Yeah. Oh, the illusion will last long enough. So they don't have to bother? Yeah. Okay. Alright. Nevermind. Um, so yeah, um, a few hours pass. Um, they get things in order. Um, do you guys do anything in that time, or do you just wait around to the, or like to the funeral? Uh, yeah, I'm gonna actually bring it up to Lord Pratt.

[02:03:04] So now we just have the small, um, small, uh, point of order of my fee. Oh. Uh, yes. Uh. Well, wizarding doesn't come cheap, you know. I suppose not. So. We don't have many funds, uh, that we can spare, but. This time we'll take it as a sort of, uh, pseudo pro bono case, but I will need the deed to my new tower written up in my name. Uh.

[02:03:34] Yes. Uh. You are planning on staying with us then? Uh, you're not traveling, not planning on departing anytime soon? Uh. Not yet. Very well. You'll be given plenty of notice. At least two months, as per my not lease. Very well. Um, also I'll be requiring at least, uh, ten acres of land around the tower. Uh. Okay. Some of that is farmland. Yeah, that's basically, that's basically like roughly how much that property was. Okay. Perfect. Um.

[02:04:05] Well, if Schmidt or, um, Jingleheimer have anything to say about it, we will negotiate. Then we can turn them into a frog and they can negotiate from the ground. Wow, that's a very intimidating question for you guys. Are you joking or are you, uh, I'm saying it. Roll intimidate. Half joking. Roll intimidate. There used to be a double entendre skill. Ha ha ha.

[02:04:35] Or, or, um, basically it was a double talking skill. Oh, the double speak. That's a, that's a good one. Eh. That's a 13. He's not two-faced. Like he, not sure if you're joking or not, but he's not like terrified or anything like that. He's just like, very well. Um. Indeed. Yes. Convenient. Indeed. Um. Well, yes.

[02:05:04] Anyway, so yeah, they get, um, that, that. Is taking care of the deed and so have had. Do you guys, so yeah, like two hours pass. The magic of bureaucracy. And, uh, a small gathering of the townsfolk come out who knew or had talked to the wizard, the, to, uh, Ignatius before. The alchemist. The illustrious. Uh, and he is illuminated.

[02:05:30] Um, out in the, uh, the back courtyard, uh, with a, uh, among, um. Friends. Among the, the acquaintances and people that semi-knew him. Um. It is a little bit of a solemn, like, farewell to somebody who helped the town. Okay. Okay. Now I'm going to recast Snapdragon fireworks and throw some fireworks up in the air. Because they actually, it's basically Gandalf's fireworks. Yeah. And then you slip and you hit the dead body and then it lights on fire and everybody goes, Ah! It's already being burned. Oh.

[02:06:01] Dust to dust. Damn it. Uh, you see, there's no children, uh, at this thing, obviously. Except for Mildred. Except for Mildred, uh, that you, you notice without perception check. Um, at the corner of your eyes, you're like casting the fire bolts and stuff. Um, at the corner of the, the, the, the civic building. Um, she's just watching. Standing by herself. Just creepily. She's not alone. She has the crow on her shoulder. Okay. Um, and she's just kind of, you think there's a little bit of a, a twinge of a smile?

[02:06:31] Pokes off of the side of her mouth, but that's about it. Yeah, we'll work on it. Yeah. And then you like, turn back around to like, go ask somebody and then you look back and just go. Wow. That stuff makes sense. Just a crow feather floating in the wind. That girl ain't right. Um, so, uh, yeah, it's, um, uh, you, after that whole affair, um, you head back, or you, you also have the, you wanted to go to the, the vault, storage vaults. Yes. Yes.

[02:07:01] I wanted to see if there was any information on my last, uh, dead kin's vault. Okay. Um, you ask, uh, Lord Pratt, um, and Beatrice, uh, Bailey, and she, um, they, they take you down to the vault cause they realize, they realize who you are. Um, actually by Winston, Winston also is there and he like, oh yeah, he speaks for you. He's like, yes, this is home resident. Um, he's very old, not old. He's actually very young looking.

[02:07:31] Um, but he, uh, and you guys go into the, uh, the vault. Um, are you guys also there or are you doing something else? Um, um, I thought I was still at the, uh, the firehouse or the funeral? Funeral party. Okay. So you guys are, you guys are still like attending the funeral party and they kind of like walk out, they go off. Yeah, I kind of knew what my wife was. Um, you get down to the vault. It's basically just like the load, like the storage. It's like a storage vault.

[02:07:57] Um, and, uh, you go and like find, they find the, the shelves that have your stuff or your, your affairs. And it's basically your family heirlooms and, uh, not a whole lot of furniture or anything that just kind of like whatever your character's family would have. Okay. You find there. Um, and you find a scroll, um, like with brass, uh, with, uh, brass, uh, ends that are shaped like bull's heads. It's, okay.

[02:08:28] But it is, it, you cannot open it. It is enchanted. Ooh. Enchanted? Yes. Or it is, it's, it is crackling a little bit with energy when you try to politically. Okay. You may need to find someone who is adept in your personal sex. There is a trumpet that summons celestials. No. A blade of the seraph. It can't just be one trumpet. It's got to be seven trumpets. Okay. It's like that. It's like, no, it's a trumpet. It's a trumpet. It's a seven trumpeted.

[02:08:57] Because the seven trumpet. Seven horn trumpet. Like from the Deku, uh, form of Link from Majora's Mask. Uh-huh. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Ha-ha-ha. Oh. But no, it's, uh, no. It's one trumpet. Actually, no. You know what? That's your, that's your, um, do you, did your, like, how many, like, did you have, like, grandparents and some of that or your, like, dad and some of that there? Or is it just, like, are you a whole family of? Oh, no, no, no, no.

[02:09:24] It would have just been, uh, it would have just been, like, a commune of, of, like, similar families that had come to this town. Okay. Well, one of the older ones that you'd kind of, like, like, that you knew and, like, saw as kind of, like, a grandfatherly figure, uh, you see his seven, seven horn trumpet, um, is there as well. Um, inscribed with Enochian runes and such. Ooh. Enochian runes? Did they grow when you lied?

[02:09:53] Enochian runes. Close. But very different. Angel script. I know. I know. I know. It's a big thing. Uh, but that's basically all you find out there, other than, like, more, less, like, less magical or more mundane, like, articles of, from your, that you remember from your shot, from your, your time there before. Okay. Perfect. Um, and they actually, like, uh, Pratt's like, well, if you're staying, like, the, like,

[02:10:21] the outsiders, or I guess the new citizens, um, do you have someplace to stay? Yeah. Unfortunately, the Canaan district no longer exists. Uh, has anybody told you what happened? Oh, yes. And I have a, uh, I have a cabin. Oh. Um, very well. Uh. They, they let me have a cabin. Um. I can stay. All right. Um. Well, uh, it is good to see you again.

[02:10:48] Or, uh, that's actually, sorry, um, that's actually, uh, Winston kind of, like, uh, like, is actually going to head out, and he actually, like, grabs your shoulder, like, just, like, pats your shoulder. It's like, it's good to see you again. But do you have to reach out, or is he? Brings a step ladder. Oh, okay. He's probably about six foot something. Um, so we'd, like, just, like, yeah, like, your head, like, you're, you still have a, like, a foot. So, yeah, you're fine. But, yeah. Spacks my ass instead. Sure. Whoa. Um.

[02:11:17] I'm going to play sport ball. Okay. Sports ball. So, uh, Pratt, um, yeah, with that, uh, they basically, like, lead you back out and, um, let you go about your, the rest of your day. All right. Um, since you seem to have things in order. Um, all right. So, then, um, you guys get back to, uh, your tower, I guess, after the, uh, the situation? Or are we, yeah, are you guys just all separating at this point to go check out the tower for you

[02:11:45] to go back to check your family, your shop and family, you to go to cabin? Are you guys doing something? Are you guys doing something together? I don't know, guys. We haven't checked out the basement of the tower. We go back and, uh, bull and skulk are dead because some monster comes out. Um. Um. Well, now that I have, now that I have an answer in my personal effects, I'll just be keeping you on my assignment now. So, I'll be following. Okay. So, you're not, you're being shadowing here now? Everywhere, yeah. Okay. We don't know if it's for nefarious purposes or not yet, but.

[02:12:16] Uh, yeah. So, you know, in regards to bullets, I'm keeping track of what I have in my gun. Should I keep track of how many I have on me too? Or just say, fuck it. I'd say keep tabs if you want to, but I'm not going to penalize you. I would say if it's a really long fight. The town, I would say the town has a finite, the town, your, your, your shop and as such, the town has a finite resource, uh, amount because you guys only. Yeah. Show up to, like, like the, the times you guys travel to a place that actually has guns of that caliber, those calibers and stuff like that.

[02:12:43] Um, or the materials that you need to make or gather and stuff like that only come so long. So, I, I, as far as, like, rep coming thing goes, like, I think, I think if it's a smaller fight, it doesn't matter. You should always have enough bullets. Like you. But if it's, if it turns out to be a really long fight, then. Then you might run out of that. It should definitely matter. Like I shot six bullets in that fight? Yeah. Unless you have snake's bandana. That's true. I'd say. I'd say.

[02:13:12] If you go over, like, 15, let me know and then roll a, like, I'll probably ask for a percentage, a percentile check to see if you were running out. If you run out or not. Okay. I'll run, if you get really good. I know we are going to eventually get that, uh, bandolier, right? Yeah. So. Um. Snake's bandolier? It's kinda. It's, it's a bandolier that holds 200 rounds. Oh god. Shit. Never mind, but the 15 thing then. Yeah, it's a magical one time. Hold on. Hold on.

[02:13:41] It's a magical bandolier. It holds 200 rounds of any assortment that you put into it. So if you pull a bullet, I just want to magically just read it. No. No. But it will, like, um, um, you could have ice rounds and fire rounds. Cold iron and silver and all of these. The real benefit to this bandolier, beyond the fact that it allows you to carry 200 with

[02:14:04] no weight, no weight, um, is, as a, uh, spoken command, it will teleport a single bullet into the chamber of your gun. Free action. Just to put a bullet in your gun. That is some gunslinger bullshit. Yeah, exactly. That's what I wanted. Fair enough. It's also like, you know, emergency suicide, too. Um, I would say that... I need a bullet! Bang! No. I'd say, actually, that's something you could find, maybe, uh, like, you could probably

[02:14:31] find that in the, uh, in the Shadowclan adventures I'm planning on. What, the bandolier? Yeah. Oh, okay. Like, rather than, like, or, like, you'll find the schematics to make it or something. I'm okay with not having to, uh, make it and spend the monies. Yeah. Well, I'm not saying you don't want to spend the money, but requisition stuff, maybe. Oh. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah. Okay, yeah, sure. They might, you've been gone for 11 years, they might have, uh, advanced a little bit. That's true. Um, no, what I was thinking was, uh, if it's standard bullets, like, just normal bullets,

[02:15:01] then it's, it's not too far a stretch to say that he should always have enough. So your thing about 15 and then if he ever gets past 15, then you can roll a percentage to see if he's got more. Yeah. Um, but you would need to keep track of any specialty rounds. Yeah. Any weird rounds. Okay. Yeah. All right. So, yeah, you guys kind of like, you go off for a little bit like after the situation, but you guys do meet up back again.

[02:15:29] Like, are you guys, uh, are you guys planning on going to the tower then and checking out the rest of it? Yeah, I'm going to check in on, um, I'd want to check in on the Duke's boys. Bulk and Skulk. No, Bulk and Skulk. Oh, that's Duke boys. Uh, do you go home? Uh, like, he's going home to just drop off some stuff or going to the cabin to drop off some stuff. Are you going back to your, uh, your warehouse, your, uh, your shop at all? Um, I'd probably go back there first and grab a few extra rounds just in case. Okay. Replace the ones I shot.

[02:15:56] So, uh, Winona is there at the, at the counter and is like, hey, um, I heard about what, uh, so you saved the day? Uh, I assisted in saving the day. And, um, if saving the day is getting the wizard's dead body back, then yes. Yeah. Um, well, good job. Thanks. Saving rounds of privates. Couldn't save them, but it's fine. Hey, you saved other people from that. Roll a perception check. Kind of. Aaron. I didn't save his life. Dave, roll a perception check. Fine.

[02:16:24] Well, you saved the one guy's life and any of the ones that they would have killed later. Yes, that's true. Uh, perception you said? Yeah. Uh, 21. Um, something is running down one of the aisles, like, really fast, and then he jumps onto your back, and he's like, dad saved the day! I was about to pull my gun on. What? Crib dog. Bad end. Yeah, no. No. I did it. I just shot a child. Yeah, you're being hit by him.

[02:16:53] Not a child, my child. Yeah, you're being hit by Wyatt. Okay, cool. Um. So he does actually live in here. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um. So, so the, so the monsters are all gone? We can, we can go back out in the woods and stuff? No. I, I wouldn't say. Aw. There's at least four of them gone. Whether there's more, we're not sure. So it's, it's still safer to not until we have actually cleared the entire forest. Yeah. Fine. He jumps off, he like slides off your, your back.

[02:17:23] He hasn't cleared that level yet. Kicks the dust a little bit. Yeah, that's level two, kid. We gotta get there. That's level two, kid. All right, fair enough. Can you let me know when we, when we get the password for it so we can go to, uh, level two? Yeah, sure, yeah. Cause I, I assume you've talked to your dad, your, your kid in that lingo for some reason. Cause, so the kid's like raised in a, in a, uh, colonial medieval town, but knows like modern lingo. Some weird stuff, yeah. Weird gamer lingo. Um. I'll let you know when I get the Conan code. Awesome. Yeah, and then later we'll get some Zah. All right. Yeah. Some Zah.

[02:17:53] Some Zah. All right. Um. Jeez. So the kid runs off. Yeah. Like, uh, basically upstairs. Um. And you say goodbye to your, your wife and then you go back out to, uh, after you grab your things and go back out to meet them. Mm-hmm. Uh, and then yeah, you guys head over to the tower. Um. Bulk and Skull are still there. Or sorry. Bull and Skulk. Bull and Skulk are still there. There you go. Um. What are they doing? Are they doing anything hilarious while we're approaching the back?

[02:18:20] They were playing beanbag, but with the sack of flour. Oh, they're having like a pillow fight? They're, they're, they're, they're trying, they're trying to throw, basically they're just playing catch with the, with the bag. Oh, okay. When you found them. And then they like, uh, Skull like saw you like coming up the road and like, like, didn't catch it. And it just. It's like, uh, and they both like kind of like come up to like a, like a salute. It's like, uh, yes, sir.

[02:18:47] We, we, we defended your, your, your tower, Mr. Wizard. You're the worst henchman ever. Is that it? Yep. That's all. Oh, okay. Okay. I'm in trouble. A penny. You should have been more like. Are we going to make that conversation yet? Oh, no. All right. So they, all right. So they start walking back down to town. I think they're useful characters to have. Oh man. Oh, okay. I can finally, I can get a, let's go get a drink. And yeah, so there they head off. Okay.

[02:19:16] Uh, so you open the door without issue, um, with the singet ring. Mm-hmm. Um, and you find yourself in the ground floor of the, the tower again. Uh. Okay. So. Well, now that I have the blueprint in my head, I'm going to, uh, attempt to, um, go into the basement. Okay. So, um, you step onto the pedestal, uh, below the, the, below the stairs.

[02:19:42] And, uh, sigils that you've never seen before, um, light up around the edge. Uh, you can, do you, what, what languages do you understand, do you speak? Or re-understand? Sorry. Common, Elven, Dwarven, Draconic, Aklo, Sylvan, Goblinoid, and Russian. You don't, you don't recognize this script off the get- But this is what Russian sounds like.

[02:20:11] It, it is not in Soviet Russian? No. No. No. Um, and, uh, you, the, the pedestal, um, is, yeah, you basically, you guys see this then, I guess. Um, he just descends, uh, through the, uh, the, the, the, the material. Like, the material doesn't move. He just, he throws it, like, as if it's water. Like, um, he just kind of starts descending. There.

[02:20:40] I'm going to give him, is this good? Is this bad? Dad? Does good? Uh, and, you know, the Terminator thing on the way up, and then as he's dying, he's like, oh! He turns inside down. As you descend, you, you realize that you're, uh, you, to you, you, uh, you're on a solid, certain, on a solid platform. The platform, when you, when you finally go through the, the thing, uh, it's basically a small tunnel, a tube that goes down about a floor. And you're on that pedestal again. Or at least a, some other part of it.

[02:21:09] Um, descending down to a, a little alcove. Into a very round, um, as I quote the stat, or the description? Question. When he was going through the floor, was it rippling at all? Or was he just faking through? It was rippling. It was rippling to him. Yeah. Okay. The stone was rippling. Okay. Uh. So is it almost like there's an illusionary stone there, but there is a actual physical platform underneath where it goes down? Yeah. Cool. Uh, so it is a circular, so the circular platform descends down. Um, it is, you, it's some kind of elevator system. Um. Um.

[02:21:38] I'm assuming that's the top circle in the diagram? Yes. Uh, and it is this special chamber, and it's got that same kind of like, uh, it's got the stonework is, um, like white marble. Um. Give me a second here. With, have you, um, do you have any kind of like dingeoneering or architecture-y kind of knowledges?

[02:22:05] Um, perhaps I have many knowledges. I know all the things. Okay. See, I would allow dingeoneering. I do have ranks in most things. Not engineering, but dingeoneering. Dingeoneering would still work because it's like architectural of like dungeons and stuff like that. Okay. So that will be a plus 12. Okay. Do you need to move? 22. Cool. Um, yeah.

[02:22:35] So the walls, so it's very, there are no. Um, I'll just read this description I have. Uh, so it is clearly an alien architecture in this room. This room is, is, uh, constructed from, uh, the walls are constructed from strange marble white stone that appear to be assembled and fit as though they were use some kind of melting technique to fit them.

[02:22:59] Uh, it gives the walls line patterns that all blend together along the curving, uh, of the floor at the center. Like the, there is no, uh, angles or no, no actual like angular surfaces here. Okay. It is all curvular to like almost like a bowl down to the center, down to like the wall merges into the floor, uh, seamlessly, um, down to the center of the room, which is, um, a large

[02:23:29] waist high round table, uh, of similar stone and topped with a mirror like crystal. Uh, the ceiling above this, uh, platform is an iridescent crystal that fits at the top and creates a light, uh, a, uh, uh, bluish green, uh, yet warm light. Okay. Um, and there are some notes and like pages and stuff like that or like maps mostly, um,

[02:23:53] uh, uh, on like, uh, in like spots, uh, along the floor and some of that, like kind of like piled up, uh, because there's not much, uh, not much easy way to put, uh, tables down here. Um, but you get down, you walk over to the, uh, the pedestal or this, uh, round table, um, and it activates, uh, uh, as you approach it with the, uh, the, as your, uh, signet ring

[02:24:17] kind of lights up a little bit and you see a image of light, um, construct a map on the, uh, just above the, uh, crystal surface and you see, um, the township and then you, it expands out, zooms out, the image zooms out to, to reveal, um, the, the continent or the,

[02:24:42] uh, the, the land of, that you guys are in and then changes again to show the planet you're in. And I say in because you appear to be inside the center of a planet or a planetary body. Um, there is a large cavity where like the mantle and core would be and you appear to be in that. Um, and you get a couple of like weird, again, that writing that you saw on the, on the, um,

[02:25:11] on the, uh, pedestals or on the pedestal when you came down light up in, in thin air, uh, around certain spots and then they change to a language you speak. Um, and you appear to be in, um, center of, uh, center of earth. Um, uh, we'll say 1850 AD. Okay.

[02:25:41] Uh, and, uh, yeah. So this appears to be, this, this room appears to be capable of figuring out where you guys are. Cartographer of sorts. Well, that's handy. Yes. Like a battle room. Pretty much. Basically, yeah. Um, yeah. So that's what you find. All right. Can you use this for giving briefings? Being like, okay, here's our target.

[02:26:07] And then like, you like brush your hand and like another guy comes up. It's like, this is the guy we have to go at. Well, yeah. You and you and you. Do you play around with it at all? Do you play around with it? Okay. Um, you are able to like, you, you put your hand through the, the map to where the, uh, there's a little blinking light where the, where the, um, where the town is. Mm-hmm. And it zooms back to the town and just beyond it. Um, so you kind of get a little bit of the topography. There's like, uh, the rolling hills and like these structures.

[02:26:35] They're basically giant stalagmites that have been, that are both natural looking. And then some of them, parts of them have been constructed to be art structures and architecture. I keep forgetting, which is mites and tights? Uh. Yes. Are mites on the bottom or tights? I am. I don't know. Damn it. Uh, but anyone though? Stalag tights, stalagmites. Are you sure? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, mites are on the ground. Cool. Uh, stalagmites and stuff like that. Um, and you see that like, um, there are, uh, so everything's kind of like a, like a, like

[02:27:03] a soft blue color. Um, except for the people. All the people in town, you see like red marks. Like red spots of like people. Um, and then. Sorry, what's the other colors? Uh, like the environment itself. Okay. Soft blue. Right. And then the center, like around town, you see like where like some of the guards you can see like out near the, uh, the perimeter. And then you start seeing, um, a couple of other like lights beyond the tunnel, beyond it.

[02:27:31] And you see at least a pack of three or four creatures, um, converging on the east, uh, on the east road toward, uh, about four guards. Um, they're big creatures. They are. Larger than. By pedal? Are they larger than the guards? Yes. By a factor of. Probably by about. They're, they're not. Holy fuck. They're, they're large size. They're large size categories. Son of a bitch.

[02:27:59] Um, and they've got big mouths. I'm sorry. I don't understand. Uh, do you actually, do you zoom in on them at all? Yes. Okay. Uh, it zooms in. Um, if you roll, if you had sanity, uh, you'd be rolling it right now. If you had sand, there's a sand mechanic, you'd be rolling. It's magic. He, he looks like shit. Um, they are, uh, bipedal reptiles. Uh, about the size, about, about basically the size of a, of a man and a half. Oh, we got this.

[02:28:29] You don't have the lightsaber. I do. It does. Oh yeah, you discussed this last, damn it, damn it, damn it. I had a giant sized lightsaber. Damn it, damn it, damn it. Um, yeah, so there's three. We're facing off against the Asper Blade? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I got a lightsaber. Yeah. So that's, um, what's coming at, you see, and you see the town, the guards know this, like see this, and they're, got their guns out. Their guns? Yeah. Well, yeah, I guess someone's got them. Yeah, yeah, that's right. They have Blunderby.

[02:28:59] You also notice that there are other, like, like herds of animals around, but like, yeah, these things are definitely not herd animals. Okay. And that's, I think we should call it. Yeah, that's a good point. Because it's about 12 o'clock. Oh, okay. So. That's probably a good call. Yeah. So, um, yeah. It was all like the. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah. Anything to, uh, comment on? You enjoyed yourself, seriously? I enjoyed what happened. I enjoyed what happened when I, you know, when I was, when I was late for it. I liked his reaction to the, uh, to the, like, finding out his family's gone.

[02:29:29] Yeah. And like, in the town, in the little part of town he knew is gone. Mm-hmm. And like, but the people, and the way you reacted, like, the people were kind enough to, like, keep you on. I, I mean, this is like that. I'm like, I'm like, uh. I used River of Wind specifically because I figured I could hold them out of the fight long enough for you to come back to it. Yeah. Yeah, no, they were, like, standing for you. They got killed before that, so all the better, right? Mm-hmm. But, um. Yeah, anything else to, uh. Because you took damage, for instance.

[02:29:57] It's hard being a serious character because serious characters don't really talk all that much. Why not? What are you talking about? Balazsar talks all the time. He's a pretty serious character. Well, I mean, like, yeah, but there's, like, a veil of mystery. Like, he's kind of like. You're, you're going for the somber, quiet character. Yeah. Yeah. And it's hard because it's like, usually I play Maniacs. Yeah. Because it's easy for me. No, no, I like, I like how your character's going. Like, I really like that. Again, like, you, you have a bond with David Davidson. Mm-hmm.

[02:30:27] Yes. The old man. And probably the Davidsons as a whole because he probably, uh, has told his family about what it was like when the, uh. Don't worry about that giant bastard. He's fine. Oh, don't you worry about that. Oh, God. They're from Minnesota, eh? Wow. Oh. Minnesota Davidson's A. Oh, Minnesota. Minnesota. Well, um, like, nothing else to say about the, uh, fight. All right. Oh, that was fun. Uh. I hit things. Yeah.

[02:30:57] With ranged weapons. I would have liked to have been conscious, but that was just my shitty role. Yeah. Well. No, it's just they had a good one. Oh, wait. Oh, no. It was a common attack, so it's not they had a good role. It wasn't actually, yeah, yeah. Basically, he was too close to the one of their. Yeah, and I didn't actually use it against you guys last session, but then I realized, oh, yeah, I did have that attack on them. All right. Um, well, if there's nothing else to say, um, before we end, uh. Bye, internet. Bye. See you all next time. Mm-hmm. Yay. Yay.
