(The Secret World): MSL-North: Tha Boyz - Episode 15: Anima Search Part 2

[00:00:00] It will bring the more given-

[00:00:01] Our wisdom flows so short. Test and see.

[00:00:06] Transmit.

[00:00:08] Time to learn the truth, boys and girls.

[00:00:11] In the 30s, Prime Minister King kick-started a hedge fund for investigating and hunting various paranormal phenomena.

[00:00:18] Now, fast forward along a line of mysteries, blood, and maple syrup money throughout the 20th century,

[00:00:25] and you find numerous groups across the country, unified under a loose collective,

[00:00:31] hunting strange creatures and tackling paranormal threats for profit.

[00:00:36] Don't believe the lies by the so-called news networks.

[00:00:40] The Secret World is real. Here there be monsters.

[00:00:43] And the Monster Slayers League, north of the American border, is out there.

[00:00:49] Even out in Newfoundland, there's word of a new team known only as the Byz.

[00:00:53] And don't even get me started on the-

[00:00:56] B-

[00:00:56] B-

[00:00:57] Hi, welcome to One Less Die, a Secret World actual play podcast.

[00:01:04] We are continuing our Secret World campaign, uh, Monster Slayers League, north.

[00:01:10] Uh, specifically, the Byz of Newfoundland.

[00:01:13] Uh, however, the Byz are not in Newfoundland.

[00:01:17] Uh, they are currently on Solomon Island in Maine.

[00:01:20] And one of them just blew up.

[00:01:22] Uh, it was his own choice, though.

[00:01:26] Yes.

[00:01:27] Uh, we, uh, are, uh, we are going to be down, um, Merit and also his character, um-

[00:01:34] Marcel.

[00:01:35] Marcel.

[00:01:36] Uh, because he, uh, let off all his grenades and took out an entire swarm of Monday cats and

[00:01:42] two bobcats in the process of fighting off Erusen's latest, uh, Counter-Strike against him.

[00:01:51] Um, just one time in Counter-Strike?

[00:01:54] Yeah.

[00:01:55] Uh, so you guys, I think you were still a bird, right?

[00:01:58] Yes.

[00:01:58] Flying over the sky.

[00:01:59] And you were at the-

[00:02:01] I'm a doula.

[00:02:01] Yeah, yeah.

[00:02:02] I'm sorry.

[00:02:02] And, uh, and you, uh, uh, John, you were, um, uh, at the playground when you heard a kaboom.

[00:02:11] An earth-shattering kaboom.

[00:02:13] Yeah, because there was, like, the little wagon that had a box in it with possibly dead cat juice

[00:02:18] in it.

[00:02:19] Yeah.

[00:02:19] And then you looked over and you heard, after you heard the explosion, it's like, where's

[00:02:23] Marcel?

[00:02:24] And then you found, and then you guys, like, kind of convene in the clearing that he has

[00:02:27] made-

[00:02:27] Just his helmet rolls out from the, the, the tree line.

[00:02:30] Yeah.

[00:02:31] So you convene down to the clearing that he has made in this tree, of this copse of trees.

[00:02:36] Um, and just see this little crater.

[00:02:39] There's no Yamcha dead on it.

[00:02:41] It's just-

[00:02:42] It's just-

[00:02:43] Oh, if only.

[00:02:44] It's just cat-

[00:02:45] Honestly, like, if you, like, mechanically, that's probably how it should have been.

[00:02:50] But, like, narratively, it made no fucking sense.

[00:02:52] No.

[00:02:53] It's equivalent.

[00:02:54] It's equivalent to me pulling out a handgun and shooting myself in the side of the head

[00:02:58] and being like, well, it's only 2d6 damage, so I'm fine.

[00:03:01] Yeah, exactly.

[00:03:01] Yeah, like, exactly.

[00:03:02] It's exactly like that.

[00:03:04] So, I, I counted, I will count it as a coup de croc.

[00:03:08] Yeah.

[00:03:09] Um, but, uh, yeah, so he is, uh, well, he's there and there and actually mostly mist in

[00:03:15] the air right now.

[00:03:16] Yeah, so he pulled a Chow Su.

[00:03:18] Yeah.

[00:03:18] Yeah.

[00:03:19] Actually, yeah.

[00:03:20] Yeah.

[00:03:20] Or a Cybermen.

[00:03:22] Because that's, like, his one move, right?

[00:03:24] Basically.

[00:03:25] Much.

[00:03:25] Do the Cybermen blow up, too?

[00:03:26] I guess they do.

[00:03:27] Yeah, they grab onto you and they explode.

[00:03:29] Yeah.

[00:03:30] Um, so, uh, yeah, you guys are seeing, like, you're just, like, kind of in an area of, like,

[00:03:34] cat, of dead cats, um, well, deader cats, um, and, uh, and some bobcat parts and a misted

[00:03:43] human.

[00:03:43] Uh, when the sirens start coming, uh, you guys start hearing sirens from, uh, from down the road.

[00:03:48] Gas leak?

[00:03:49] Uh, we can explain this one out.

[00:03:55] Womp it up, pop it up, pop.

[00:03:56] Boop.

[00:03:57] Yeah.

[00:03:59] Uh, yeah.

[00:04:00] So, yeah, as the, as the, uh, the local sheriff, uh, and, uh, Gardner, and, uh, his deputy

[00:04:05] that was, that you guys left down the road.

[00:04:07] Yeah.

[00:04:08] Yeah.

[00:04:08] Um, come, come down, uh, they, uh, they pulled into the, uh, the side of the road next to

[00:04:13] that park, uh, and, uh, just kind of come down, come out, like, come to look at and investigate

[00:04:19] the, uh, the, the noise that was just heard and such.

[00:04:22] Okay, I'm gonna cast, um, major image.

[00:04:26] Okay.

[00:04:28] For a, uh, and, uh, I'm gonna waste it on, uh, a, at ground zero, a ruptured, uh, gas

[00:04:40] pipe sticking out of the ground.

[00:04:42] Okay.

[00:04:43] All right.

[00:04:45] Uh, yeah, so this, this, uh, this guy in the sheriff's outfit, um, he's got, like, dirty

[00:04:49] blonde hair, uh, clean cropped, pretty, pretty decent build.

[00:04:53] Um, kind of walks out, uh, with his, uh, with that, um, with, uh, the, uh, the other

[00:04:59] officer that was there with you guys.

[00:05:01] Uh, what was it?

[00:05:01] Did I name him?

[00:05:03] I don't call his name.

[00:05:04] I think I named Officer, nope.

[00:05:07] Officer no.

[00:05:08] Uh, shit, I did not name him.

[00:05:09] Well, the officer, the other officer comes over and it's like, um, they both got, like,

[00:05:15] smiles on their, on their faces, but, like, there's still, like, there's concern in their

[00:05:18] eyes.

[00:05:18] I'm going to, uh, have my phone up at my ear, like I'm talking to somebody.

[00:05:22] Yeah.

[00:05:23] Yes, sir.

[00:05:24] Looks like a gas leak.

[00:05:26] We've got it, uh, we, we've got it all tied down.

[00:05:28] They've shut it down at the source.

[00:05:30] We're, uh, we're just, uh, gonna, oh, here come the, uh, local authorities.

[00:05:34] We're gonna let them know what's going on.

[00:05:36] All right.

[00:05:37] So they, they, they, they, they, people hauls the phone and it's like, beep, beep.

[00:05:41] Uh, excuse me, uh, what are you, what are you doing here?

[00:05:46] Uh, I actually know the sheriff, don't I?

[00:05:48] Oh, yeah, you might, you, yeah, you probably know Andy.

[00:05:50] Yeah.

[00:05:51] Um, yeah, you want to roll a, uh, um, a charisma save?

[00:05:55] Just to see, like, see if he recognizes you.

[00:05:57] Okay.

[00:05:59] Charisma saving throw?

[00:06:01] Yeah.

[00:06:01] To see if he recognizes him.

[00:06:03] I guess.

[00:06:05] Was he, was he, uh, uh, did he have enough, uh, force of personality to be, uh, be memorable?

[00:06:12] Total of 20.

[00:06:13] A dirty 20.

[00:06:13] Yeah, he's like, excuse me, you're like, you're like, you're like, Jake, or, uh, Jacob?

[00:06:19] Yeah, how are you doing, Andy?

[00:06:21] Uh, not bad.

[00:06:22] What, what are you doing here?

[00:06:23] What are you supposed to say is, fuck, bud.

[00:06:25] Oh, fuck, bud.

[00:06:28] Jesus, it's been a while.

[00:06:29] You've got to do that voice, I've got to do a Bastard accent, because that's, I'm pretty

[00:06:32] sure that's kind of the inflection that, uh, that, uh, Andy has in the show, or in the

[00:06:36] games, so.

[00:06:38] Fuck you, right?

[00:06:39] Yeah, bud.

[00:06:40] Uh, what are you doing down here?

[00:06:42] Um, there's, it looks like there's a, there's, uh, we heard, uh, we got a heartened explosion

[00:06:48] of some kind, uh, all the way down at the sheriff's office, and we came running.

[00:06:50] Oh, fuck.

[00:06:51] We got called in from the school to fucking check out, uh, to see if we can find a fucking

[00:06:56] missing classmate, right?

[00:06:58] Anyway, so we go and we do the ting.

[00:07:01] Big fucking fiasco there, if you ask me.

[00:07:05] Anyway, we come out, and I catch this fucking smell of gas, right?

[00:07:09] I look over, and somebody's left a fucking fire going.

[00:07:16] Yeah.

[00:07:17] He looks at the, like, through the trees, sees the gas.

[00:07:19] He's my major image.

[00:07:22] Mm-hmm.

[00:07:22] Um, somebody left a fucking fire going over there, as the smell of fucking gas hits me,

[00:07:28] and then all of a sudden, big fucking flash of light, we get knocked on our fucking asses,

[00:07:34] and all of a sudden, there's a big gap in the trees now.

[00:07:38] All right, um, uh, I guess this would be a, uh, deception.

[00:07:41] Who fucking laid pipe through fucking trees anyway?

[00:07:44] No, this is a, uh, uh, uh, uh, gaslighting.

[00:07:49] Okay.

[00:07:49] Okay.

[00:07:51] So what is his, uh, wisdom modifier?

[00:07:56] His wisdom modifier?

[00:07:57] Let's find it.

[00:07:58] Uh, I'm gonna say it's gonna be, because I don't actually have his character stats, but...

[00:08:03] He's not standing, so we can't kill him.

[00:08:04] I'm gonna say, uh, three.

[00:08:06] Okay.

[00:08:07] Uh, so that means that the DC is 11.

[00:08:11] Yeah.

[00:08:12] I rolled an 11.

[00:08:13] Nice.

[00:08:15] And I get to add deception to that, which is with expertise, so I get to add plus 9.

[00:08:21] Yeah.

[00:08:22] He's like, ah, jeez, uh, are you guys hurt?

[00:08:25] You guys need, uh, medical attention?

[00:08:26] We can get you down to the clinic.

[00:08:28] Ah, we're fucking good, bud.

[00:08:30] Yeah, I'll do here.

[00:08:30] We hit the deck pretty hard.

[00:08:32] Ah, all right.

[00:08:33] Um, doesn't look like I'm bleeding or nothing.

[00:08:35] We're, we're all fine here, right, bud?

[00:08:37] Yeah.

[00:08:37] We're all fine here.

[00:08:38] How are you?

[00:08:39] Uh, I mean, uh, okay, uh, anyway, I already called the fucking school, and they already

[00:08:44] called the gas company.

[00:08:45] They got the shit shut off.

[00:08:46] They're apparently gonna send some of their specialists down.

[00:08:50] Figured they'd, uh, they'd do a little pro bono work to save the town some money, right?

[00:08:54] Uh, since they got students here all the time, they, I think they think it might have been

[00:08:58] a couple of students having a fucking campfire out in the woods.

[00:09:01] So, in order to keep things, you know, a little nicer for the town, they're gonna look

[00:09:08] at having that fixed up for ya.

[00:09:11] Uh, all right.

[00:09:12] Um, yeah, that, that'll help a lot.

[00:09:15] I mean, that school's always, like, done right by us, and even since our founding days and

[00:09:20] such, I guess.

[00:09:20] So, yeah, um, much appreciated, uh, there, Jake.

[00:09:24] Glad to see that you're, you're back on the island and such.

[00:09:26] No fucking problem, Andy.

[00:09:28] It's good to see you, bud.

[00:09:30] Yeah, likewise.

[00:09:30] Um, I just need to pull up something, because I want to see, I want to find a location here.

[00:09:35] Um, uh, he's like, do you wanna, yeah, it's like, if you ever, um, find your way

[00:09:38] down, uh, to Susan's Diner, uh, down by the docks, uh, uh, uh, let's

[00:09:42] let him know that Andy, uh, put it on Andy's tab, and you guys can have, uh, you guys

[00:09:45] can have a, um, uh, have a, have a meal and such.

[00:09:49] Oh, thanks, bud.

[00:09:50] That's great.

[00:09:51] I appreciate that.

[00:09:52] And, yeah, anytime.

[00:09:53] Thank you.

[00:09:54] And sorry about that whole thing with your fucking daughter, man.

[00:09:57] Like, she was, she was pretty.

[00:10:01] Okay, so, Andy's like 40.

[00:10:04] Um, and, uh, with, uh, uh, hmm.

[00:10:10] Yeah, he does have kids.

[00:10:11] Okay.

[00:10:12] Yeah.

[00:10:13] So, like, out of game, you would know that.

[00:10:16] Yes.

[00:10:17] But I could still tease him anyway.

[00:10:19] Fair, yeah.

[00:10:20] Okay.

[00:10:22] Yeah.

[00:10:23] So he, um, yeah, he's just like, ah, I was like, all right, we'll, um, like, you,

[00:10:28] officer, take this area off.

[00:10:31] Let's get this, uh, another, let's get this taped over.

[00:10:33] Uh, but, do you find out what happened to our, to those, uh, maintenance folks that

[00:10:37] were down there?

[00:10:37] Like, did you get, you get that, uh, that student, or, like, did you guys find the, the, the

[00:10:42] officers, or the, the maintenance guys and the student that was down there?

[00:10:46] We found the student.

[00:10:48] Oh.

[00:10:49] Is it, is it bad?

[00:10:52] Well, let's just say it's not, it's not too good.

[00:10:55] Okay.

[00:10:56] They're not all fine here now.

[00:10:58] How are you?

[00:10:59] They're, they're not, not here now.

[00:11:03] Oh.

[00:11:04] Uh, is the school gonna help out with that whole situation then, or?

[00:11:08] With that?

[00:11:09] He kind of, he kind of looks around, like, it's like, like, looks around, like, as his

[00:11:11] butt looks to his officer who's, like, taping off, like.

[00:11:14] Is he aware of the secret world and everything?

[00:11:16] He kind of, like, uh, you, you kind of got the impression, like, from, like, your,

[00:11:19] your talks with him and stuff.

[00:11:20] He kind of knows things.

[00:11:22] Um.

[00:11:23] He knows that there's weird shit.

[00:11:24] Yeah.

[00:11:25] Like, he was definitely, uh, he's definitely, uh, told some drug stories when you guys

[00:11:28] have, like, hung out, uh, or, or, like, just mentioned some things offhandedly that kind

[00:11:32] of make him seem that he knows the secret world a little bit.

[00:11:35] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:35] Or is aware that weird shit happens.

[00:11:37] And particularly around the school.

[00:11:39] So.

[00:11:40] Mm-hmm.

[00:11:41] Um.

[00:11:42] But yeah.

[00:11:42] So he's like, yeah.

[00:11:43] So it's like, uh, is the school gonna keep an eye on that or deal with that?

[00:11:46] Like, we.

[00:11:47] Well, we're on the way back to the school and we were gonna mention what happened down there.

[00:11:51] So I'm sure that they'll get it buttoned up one way or another, right?

[00:11:55] Uh.

[00:11:55] All right.

[00:11:56] Yeah.

[00:11:56] That sounds great.

[00:11:57] We'll keep, uh, we'll keep somebody pushed away from that little manhold until you guys,

[00:12:01] well, until somebody from the school comes back and stuff to deal with that.

[00:12:04] That's, that's fair, bud.

[00:12:05] That's a good idea.

[00:12:06] You might want to also make sure that they got a can of Raid and maybe a shotgun.

[00:12:11] Uh, yeah.

[00:12:12] No problem.

[00:12:13] Yeah.

[00:12:13] He just said smiling and just kind of, like, confidently.

[00:12:16] Like, yeah.

[00:12:16] Yeah.

[00:12:17] And, yeah, like, in that weird way.

[00:12:19] And he's like, yeah, like, for a minute, like, he's like, he's like, he's like,

[00:12:21] smiling, like, just, like, as a reassuring way.

[00:12:24] And then it lasts way too long.

[00:12:27] Mm-hmm.

[00:12:28] Like, he's forcing it and he's like, okay, well, I'm just gonna leave now.

[00:12:31] Like, kind of, like, that kind of scenario.

[00:12:34] That kind of vibe.

[00:12:35] Mm-hmm.

[00:12:35] Right on there, Andy.

[00:12:37] He's also just someone from this town and you said in the last recording that everyone

[00:12:41] in this town, they're just always, like...

[00:12:43] They're forcing a, a sort of, like, normalcy and, like, everything's fine here.

[00:12:47] Yeah.

[00:12:48] Mm-hmm.

[00:12:49] Sweat drop.

[00:12:51] Kind of thing like that.

[00:12:52] Or, like, like, their smiles are hiding, like, some kind of deep-seated trauma.

[00:12:56] Yeah.

[00:12:57] And I just watched Hot Fuzz the other day.

[00:12:59] So, like...

[00:12:59] It's very much like Hot Fuzz.

[00:13:00] Every time I'm very seeing...

[00:13:01] It's very much like a town of Hot Fuzz.

[00:13:03] Yeah.

[00:13:04] It's for the greater good.

[00:13:05] The greater good.

[00:13:06] It's not that.

[00:13:09] Such a good movie.

[00:13:10] Yeah.

[00:13:10] So, you guys are leaving Andy and his officer and some of that, or deputy to close...

[00:13:16] To tape off yet another location.

[00:13:19] Yeah.

[00:13:20] Is that image going to, like, last very long?

[00:13:22] That after, that greater image?

[00:13:25] It'll last a while.

[00:13:30] It's just going to match...

[00:13:31] It's just going to, like, after, like, about an hour or so, it's just going to turn into,

[00:13:34] like, from, like, brustes up pipes and stuff like that, to just, like, a

[00:13:37] crater of cat parts and people parts.

[00:13:40] Oh, yeah.

[00:13:41] Does major image, uh, do smell?

[00:13:43] Yeah.

[00:13:44] Okay.

[00:13:46] Yeah.

[00:13:47] It's, uh...

[00:13:49] Uh...

[00:13:49] All sensory effects.

[00:13:51] Yeah.

[00:13:53] I guess that would affect wild animals, too.

[00:13:55] Like, they wouldn't smell, like, the...

[00:13:57] Mm-hmm.

[00:13:58] Dead bodies and stuff like that.

[00:14:02] M-M...

[00:14:05] Major...

[00:14:07] Major image.

[00:14:12] Uh...

[00:14:13] Up to ten minutes.

[00:14:15] Oh, okay.

[00:14:16] Oh, okay.

[00:14:17] Uh, you create an image of an object, creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no

[00:14:23] larger than a 20-foot cube.

[00:14:25] It appears as a spot that you can see within range and last for the duration.

[00:14:29] It seems completely real, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to the

[00:14:33] thing depicted.

[00:14:34] You can't create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound loud enough to deal

[00:14:39] thunder damage or death in a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature.

[00:14:45] Yeah.

[00:14:45] As long as you are within range of the illusion, uh, you can use your action to cause the image

[00:14:50] to move to any other spot within range, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[00:14:53] Physical interaction reveals it to be an illusion because things can pass through it.

[00:15:02] So, basically, we need to get on the horn with the school now and get them to send someone

[00:15:06] over now.

[00:15:07] Yeah.

[00:15:08] I've bought us ten minutes.

[00:15:10] Yeah.

[00:15:11] So, then, as you're walking away, you're actually calling somebody.

[00:15:14] Yeah.

[00:15:17] All right.

[00:15:23] Yeah.

[00:15:23] So, you, uh, you guys, yeah, you're heading back to your motorcycles, I guess?

[00:15:30] And, uh...

[00:15:31] Yeah, I gotta stay pretty close to these for the moment.

[00:15:33] Yeah.

[00:15:34] Uh, I guess you're, who's taking, uh, uh, Marcel's bike?

[00:15:41] Oh, fuck.

[00:15:43] Yeah.

[00:15:44] How, how do you go about doing that?

[00:15:47] It's not totable, really.

[00:15:54] Okay, wait a second.

[00:15:54] We're gonna go to, um, a store and just buy some training wheels and just tape or just

[00:16:02] screw them on, mend them on, and then just trail it behind us from a rope.

[00:16:09] No, I got this.

[00:16:10] Okay.

[00:16:11] It's a terrible idea.

[00:16:12] Great.

[00:16:13] I think it'll work.

[00:16:14] Glad to be a part of it.

[00:16:15] Okay.

[00:16:16] So, I'm going to, um, I'm gonna cast summon familiar.

[00:16:27] Okay.

[00:16:28] Okay.

[00:16:29] To change my familiar shape from a canary to a squid.

[00:16:36] How is squid or an octopus?

[00:16:39] Doesn't matter.

[00:16:40] Okay.

[00:16:40] Actually, you don't want an octopus because they're smarter.

[00:16:42] Yeah.

[00:16:43] That's what I was gonna go over.

[00:16:43] They get a squid like...

[00:16:44] Doesn't really, it doesn't actually matter because it's not actually a squid or an octopus.

[00:16:48] It's a familiar and they have their own intelligence stats.

[00:16:51] Yeah.

[00:16:52] Are you doing what I think you're gonna do?

[00:16:54] Okay.

[00:16:55] So, and then I'm gonna pull out, uh, Clayton.

[00:16:58] Yeah.

[00:16:59] Your, your little gold.

[00:17:00] Yeah.

[00:17:01] And I'm gonna put Clayton on the left side of the bike.

[00:17:05] Okay.

[00:17:06] On the peg, holding onto the bike, to the seat, so that he can operate the gears.

[00:17:13] And then I'm gonna put the octopus on the gas tank so that he can grab ahold of the gas tank and also reach out and grab the, uh, the throttle, the other handle, and the, uh, brake and clutch.

[00:17:30] Nice.

[00:17:31] It should be smart enough to operate the motorcycle.

[00:17:35] I think we need that requires a roll for that.

[00:17:38] I will make a roll for, uh, for your, uh, familiar slash, uh, homunculus.

[00:17:43] Wow.

[00:17:44] I have a way easier solution, but this is a lot more interesting.

[00:17:48] Right?

[00:17:48] Yeah.

[00:17:50] Yeah.

[00:17:51] I should have gone onto, like, the secret world and, like, just found it at some, like, like, found locations.

[00:17:55] Like, just grab the map.

[00:17:57] You're sweating.

[00:17:58] Uh, like, can we eat that?

[00:18:09] Your dog's got it for you.

[00:18:10] Yeah, she's going over and she eats it.

[00:18:12] He's like, no!

[00:18:14] Oh.

[00:18:15] Oh, it was a 19.

[00:18:16] That was a 19.

[00:18:17] Damn it.

[00:18:21] I hate Lucy.

[00:18:23] All right.

[00:18:24] So, let's see how, uh, uh, what's your canary's name or your, sorry, your octopus's name?

[00:18:29] Quill.

[00:18:29] Let's see how Quill does here.

[00:18:33] Nat one.

[00:18:34] Really?

[00:18:36] Dave, take a look.

[00:18:37] Okay, well.

[00:18:40] Getting up to confirm.

[00:18:42] Yeah, it is.

[00:18:47] All right, well, it is what it is.

[00:18:49] So, like, it gets really, like, vroom, vroom.

[00:18:52] Poof.

[00:18:53] And it falls over.

[00:18:55] Okay, that was a terrible idea.

[00:18:57] It was a very interesting idea, though.

[00:18:58] In fact, as this is happening, also, a couple of tourists walk by and just, like, they're just, like, walking across the other side of the street,

[00:19:05] like, over to, like, the historical church and stuff like that.

[00:19:08] And, like, one of them just, like, pulls out their phone and just, like, as they walk by.

[00:19:14] It's just, like, just kind of, like, nonchalant.

[00:19:16] Like, they're looking at it.

[00:19:17] Like, it was, like, well, that's fucking weird.

[00:19:18] Click, click.

[00:19:19] On their phone.

[00:19:20] Do we have to deal with that for maintaining operational security?

[00:19:23] No.

[00:19:24] Okay.

[00:19:25] No, because octopuses are actually really intelligent.

[00:19:28] And you can teach them to use tools.

[00:19:31] So, the idea of an octopus operating a motorcycle while ridiculous and far-fetched is plausible.

[00:19:41] Someone would theoretically possibly do that.

[00:19:42] I will say, your little golem guy is on the side that it fell off.

[00:19:47] Is on the wrong side.

[00:19:48] He's squashed.

[00:19:48] Okay.

[00:19:49] So, they're just, yeah, they're basically going to take these photos.

[00:19:52] They're going to probably post it on Facebook or whatever as, like, you'll never believe what I caught on camera in this New England coastal town.

[00:20:03] Only in New England.

[00:20:06] Okay.

[00:20:07] Well, other idea.

[00:20:08] Or only in Maine.

[00:20:09] We have to call the school ASAP and get someone over here.

[00:20:13] So, someone's going to show up here anyways to get the cops to go away.

[00:20:17] So, then they could just take the bike back to the school or something.

[00:20:21] Yeah.

[00:20:22] Yeah.

[00:20:23] I guess so.

[00:20:24] A lot less fun.

[00:20:27] But it works.

[00:20:28] I really liked my idea.

[00:20:30] I did, too.

[00:20:30] The dice did not support it.

[00:20:32] No.

[00:20:33] Okay.

[00:20:34] So, you contact the school.

[00:20:35] Yes.

[00:20:36] You get the reception.

[00:20:37] You ask for Montag.

[00:20:39] And it's like, um, hello, this is, uh, this is Headmaster Montag.

[00:20:43] I can help you.

[00:20:44] Oh, fuck, Monty.

[00:20:45] How's it going, bud?

[00:20:46] Jacob.

[00:20:47] Uh, not too bad.

[00:20:48] I found your missing student.

[00:20:49] Yes.

[00:20:50] He came in, uh, not too long ago.

[00:20:52] Very great.

[00:20:53] That's fucking awesome, bud.

[00:20:54] Okay, so here's the other thing.

[00:20:58] Fucking Marcel got attacked by some fucking zombie cats or some shit.

[00:21:05] And, uh, he pulled all of his hand grenade pins and made quick work of that shit and himself.

[00:21:12] I mean, that seems a logical step to deal with, uh, necromantic, uh, reanimated cats.

[00:21:16] I don't disagree.

[00:21:18] Did I hear him say logical?

[00:21:20] Was I logical?

[00:21:21] Is that what I heard?

[00:21:22] It's not only, it seems like the only reasonable reaction.

[00:21:25] Fuck yeah.

[00:21:25] When you're dealing with the undead, there's not much else you can really do but go, go whole hog or go home.

[00:21:31] Anyway, so, big explosion.

[00:21:34] Cops showed up.

[00:21:36] I've convinced them it was a gas leak that fucking blew.

[00:21:41] Uh, I may have committed to school to, to try to clean up the mess.

[00:21:46] Saying that it was probably some fucking students who had a campfire going near a ruptured gas line.

[00:21:53] Mm-hmm.

[00:21:54] Uh, and I currently have an illusion standing of, uh, of a ruptured gas line sticking out of the ground.

[00:22:01] For eight minutes.

[00:22:03] But there's only eight minutes left on my timer.

[00:22:05] Wait, was it ten minutes or twenty?

[00:22:07] It's ten.

[00:22:07] Yeah, so they're probably around eight.

[00:22:09] Only eight minutes left on my timer to keep that shit going.

[00:22:13] Uh, C.

[00:22:14] Uh, what, one moment.

[00:22:16] Uh, he, he, he puts me on hold.

[00:22:19] Do, do, do, do, do.

[00:22:20] Yeah, for eight minutes.

[00:22:21] On hold for like, what, two minutes.

[00:22:24] Do, do, do, do.

[00:22:24] And then he comes back and, uh.

[00:22:26] From behind me.

[00:22:28] No, no, no.

[00:22:29] And you hear, uh, like, Miss, you can hear Miss Usher behind him, like, shouting.

[00:22:32] It's like, it's like, seriously, how many fucking times do we have to deal with these fucking,

[00:22:37] like, this poor town's getting, like, fucked over by someone?

[00:22:41] It's like, yes, yes, yes.

[00:22:42] Uh, yeah, so, uh, we're gonna send some, uh, Geomancy students, uh, over, uh, pronto.

[00:22:46] And, uh, they will be able to, um, reshape the earth and, and cover up the, or cover up

[00:22:51] the, the mess and maybe even grow a couple of those trees back.

[00:22:54] That'd be fucking great.

[00:22:55] You guys are, you guys are just fucking awesome.

[00:22:58] Awesome.

[00:22:58] Well, thank you for, uh, dealing with, or rescuing our, uh, our, our students.

[00:23:02] Sounded like there was, we have a cog problem, uh, down in the, uh, in the, in the sewers

[00:23:06] of the, of the city, of the island?

[00:23:08] Yeah, so that was the next bit I was gonna get to, right?

[00:23:11] Like, so down in the, uh, so we went down there after we picked up a couple of double-doubles

[00:23:15] from Timmy Hortons there.

[00:23:16] And, uh, you can hear the, like, the, the, the silent, the silent confusion.

[00:23:23] And his head turned like a cat.

[00:23:27] And, uh, yeah, there's a bunch of, there, there, there were a, a sizable number of a

[00:23:32] cobs down there in the basement, the sewer there.

[00:23:35] Basement.

[00:23:36] The basement to the street?

[00:23:37] The basement to the street.

[00:23:39] In fact, he says, like, well, what is a sewer?

[00:23:41] But, but merely the, but merely the basement of a city or a town.

[00:23:45] Well, I guess he got me there.

[00:23:46] Anyway, so we went down there, we found the student, but there were a bunch of fucking

[00:23:50] a cobs, and we, we killed a bunch of them, but, uh, I think there might be more, and we

[00:23:55] were not equipped to take on more.

[00:23:57] And you asked us to just find the student, not to go exterminate a shit ton of a cobs.

[00:24:04] We were also told that there was, like, a nest of them down there.

[00:24:07] You were told that there was a breach, like, like, an opening to, like, deeper tunnels.

[00:24:11] Yeah.

[00:24:11] Yeah.

[00:24:11] Okay.

[00:24:12] So, that's probably gonna need to be sealed.

[00:24:14] Maybe a team sent down to, uh, to exterminate some shit.

[00:24:18] It was pretty nasty, though.

[00:24:20] I almost lost all my Timbits.

[00:24:22] Well, that seems terrible.

[00:24:27] Do we call your hit points?

[00:24:28] Your Timbits?

[00:24:29] Are you, yes!

[00:24:30] That is what I call my hit points.

[00:24:32] There you go.

[00:24:33] Well, um...

[00:24:34] Timbits.

[00:24:35] You're in the area, if we were willing to, um, uh, add a little bit extra to, uh, to,

[00:24:43] uh, to your, uh, or, like, provide some extra, like, some kind of a boon or some kind of

[00:24:49] reward or some of that.

[00:24:50] If you're in the area, could you perhaps deal with that situation?

[00:24:54] Or...

[00:24:54] Let me just consult how many spell slots I got.

[00:24:58] At the very least close off the, uh, the, uh, the opening.

[00:25:01] If there is, in fact, a, uh, an opening to the, to the greater sewer system of, of Kingsmouth.

[00:25:08] I mean, we can, we can deal with the, the, the eradication of an Akab colony, um, in the

[00:25:13] greater Solomon Island tunnel networks, but we need to, if that, if, like, we don't want

[00:25:17] to, we don't want them breaching through into, like, civilian territories.

[00:25:20] Don't nut?

[00:25:23] That's fucking fair.

[00:25:24] I'm not asking fair.

[00:25:25] I'm not asking you guys to, uh, I'm not asking you gentlemen to, uh, to put your lives

[00:25:30] on the line to, like, eradicate an entire con.

[00:25:32] Just to, if you can, uh, simply seal, seal the, uh, the current breach.

[00:25:39] I suppose our, our academy could, could, uh, could lend you a, uh, a suitable bounty for,

[00:25:46] for such a, for such a, uh, a job.

[00:25:47] Perhaps a thousand dollars?

[00:25:50] American?

[00:25:53] For a cob?

[00:25:54] That doesn't sound too bad.

[00:25:58] Actually, let me see, hang on a second, let me see how much a, um, because this isn't

[00:26:02] in the jurisdiction of Canada, but now the bounty, you're, you could, like, let's see what the

[00:26:07] bounty has to say about, uh, about, uh, make much better money in the States.

[00:26:11] That's why we have a hard time keeping our hunters up north.

[00:26:14] So, a cob are about ten, a cob are ten thousand ahead in Canada's bounty system.

[00:26:20] Jesus.

[00:26:21] But he's asking, he's not asking you to eradicate a cob, he's asking you to seal up their,

[00:26:25] uh, their new tunnel.

[00:26:27] Do the harder job of fighting through a bunch of a cob and throwing a grenade at the bug

[00:26:31] hole.

[00:26:31] You may have only, like, you may have defeated the ones that were already, like, guarding

[00:26:34] the tunnel.

[00:26:35] There may only be a couple more.

[00:26:37] Or there may be, like, a swarm of twenty.

[00:26:39] Depends on how long we're on this phone call.

[00:26:41] Yeah.

[00:26:42] I guess we could, uh, also take the heads of the a cob that were down there and just

[00:26:46] take them home and cash them in.

[00:26:48] I'm gonna say, if you do that, that is actually gonna be some kind of a criminal role or something

[00:26:52] like that.

[00:26:53] To like, like, no, there was a cob infestation in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in Gander.

[00:27:00] Why is it a criminal role, though?

[00:27:02] Because, because they weren't actually in Canada.

[00:27:04] It's like, yeah, it's like, it's like, it's like hunting in America and bringing, bring

[00:27:07] the moose heads to, like, bring the moose, uh, moose to Canada.

[00:27:11] It's like, we clearly hunted these in Canada.

[00:27:13] Yeah.

[00:27:14] Yeah.

[00:27:16] Yeah.

[00:27:17] Wow, they're wearing a confederate flag.

[00:27:20] What?

[00:27:21] Yeah.

[00:27:22] But yeah, so that would be a deception, like, some kind of a deception role, like, um, like,

[00:27:25] down the road.

[00:27:25] If you guys, like, were able to actually get these, like, get the a cob.

[00:27:28] Maybe, like, get some, like, uh, get some, uh, some of the previous ones that you

[00:27:31] had down there.

[00:27:32] Cause, like, those, I think you guys hunted, like, killed, like, five.

[00:27:34] Five.

[00:27:35] So if you can get, like, five, like, mandible parts.

[00:27:39] Or, like, some, some proof of, like, of identifying, like, five individual cob.

[00:27:44] Hmm.

[00:27:45] And, and, and, and deceive your, and deceive the, the, the, the Monster Slayers League

[00:27:49] in North, in Canada, that you totally killed a colony of five or more cob that were attacking

[00:27:56] Canadian, on Canadian soil.

[00:28:00] Then I would let you guys have that battle.

[00:28:01] Those bounties.

[00:28:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:28:04] Okay.

[00:28:05] Yeah, as it is, uh, yeah, right now, and, like, you, if you want to roll, try and, like,

[00:28:10] sweeten the pot.

[00:28:11] Um, Montag is only offering a thousand to seal the, uh, the breach down the sewers.

[00:28:17] Only a thousand bucks.

[00:28:19] Fuck.

[00:28:20] It's really not dishing out much.

[00:28:22] Well, I mean, they.

[00:28:23] It looks like schools aren't well funded.

[00:28:25] Mm-hmm.

[00:28:26] Except this one's fucking funded by the Illuminati, bud.

[00:28:29] Yeah.

[00:28:31] At this point, it's more like a quick job, because, like, he can just, like, he could

[00:28:34] contact the Illuminati and get agents out here, but then just paperwork, and it might take

[00:28:38] a few days, and at that point, it might be on the bigger problem.

[00:28:41] Yeah, but how much would he have to pay them?

[00:28:43] Well, that, like, probably, you wouldn't, because, like, the Illuminati would probably be the

[00:28:46] ones that would be, like, because it's their territory.

[00:28:49] Yeah.

[00:28:49] Mm-hmm.

[00:28:50] So, but, yeah, again, this is something you could make it, like, an offer.

[00:28:53] Well, I mean, like, you're gonna have to go through, like, the paperwork and the bureaucracy

[00:28:55] and, like, maybe, like, sweeten the pot a little bit deep more.

[00:28:58] Like, you could make that roll if you want.

[00:29:00] If you want to try and, like, spice up negotiations a bit.

[00:29:04] Yeah, I think I will.

[00:29:11] Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.

[00:29:11] Oh, no.

[00:29:18] Okay, so, three and three is six, on top of 19 is 25.

[00:29:23] Okay.

[00:29:24] Yeah, so what are you saying to...

[00:29:26] Oh, fuck, bud.

[00:29:28] Is that...

[00:29:29] We already fucking stretched our neck out on the chopping block to take out some macabre.

[00:29:34] Back home, over ten grand apiece.

[00:29:38] I see.

[00:29:38] We're down a man now.

[00:29:40] Now we're down a man.

[00:29:41] We lost him to all shit ton of hand grenades.

[00:29:43] You want us to go back into that hole, down in that nasty, gross-ass sewer.

[00:29:47] We're probably going to use those hand grenades.

[00:29:49] Seal up this leak.

[00:29:51] We don't have any hand grenades anymore.

[00:29:54] I have hand grenades.

[00:29:56] We don't have any hand grenades anymore.

[00:30:02] Shit.

[00:30:04] We don't...

[00:30:04] Who cast the water walk spell?

[00:30:06] Me.

[00:30:07] Okay.

[00:30:07] It only lasts for an hour, I think.

[00:30:10] It's been, like...

[00:30:11] Yeah, it's been a long time.

[00:30:12] Actually, it has been long, because you guys went to the fortune teller after that whole thing.

[00:30:15] I could technically recast it if I have to.

[00:30:17] And ritual cast it as well.

[00:30:19] Our power's been depleted by, like, fucking two-thirds.

[00:30:22] We gotta go back in here, understaffed, underequipped, and underpowered, to do this fucking job.

[00:30:30] Not saying we won't do it, but for a thousand fucking dollars?

[00:30:34] Come on, bud.

[00:30:35] Pony up.

[00:30:37] I see your point.

[00:30:39] Very well.

[00:30:42] How about...

[00:30:44] Five thousand.

[00:30:45] And I'll even have one of the students bring you a bag of C4.

[00:30:51] Do you know how you use fucking C4?

[00:30:55] You use C4 as those bank robbers, right?

[00:30:57] Right?

[00:30:58] No, I wasn't the devil guy.

[00:31:00] I was the...

[00:31:01] So you'd be taking disadvantage when I'm here.

[00:31:04] So you guys all end up in limbo, and this is how the game even starts when I'm here.

[00:31:09] Man, if only we had a demolitions guy that didn't just jihad himself.

[00:31:15] God, I wish this was fate, because it was like, you want a fate point?

[00:31:19] I do have, like, tools, explosives.

[00:31:22] Like, I do have...

[00:31:23] Okay, if you have tools, explosives.

[00:31:24] I just, I don't have very much experience with it, but I could possibly do it.

[00:31:28] That means you can use your proficiency on it.

[00:31:29] Yeah.

[00:31:30] Yeah.

[00:31:30] All right.

[00:31:31] I'm not comfortable doing it, but sure.

[00:31:35] Okay.

[00:31:36] We'll accept that, but...

[00:31:39] One more thing.

[00:31:40] But, by the way, as you guys have been doing this, there's just been, like, some students...

[00:31:44] Like, as you guys are talking, like, down the street, like, behind you, in the background,

[00:31:49] there's just, like, some students, like, portaling in, like, kind of, like, non-discreetly,

[00:31:54] like, behind, like, the police and all that stuff, as they're walking over to the trees

[00:31:58] and stuff like that, and then, like, one of them gets a phone call, and then, like,

[00:32:01] goes back to the portal.

[00:32:03] So, continue.

[00:32:08] Okay, but one more thing.

[00:32:10] Shouldn't be too difficult for, you know, schools of your caliber.

[00:32:15] Well, we want to take a look through the magical artifact, and we each want to take one home.

[00:32:21] I can discuss that with Miss Usher, and we'll see.

[00:32:25] Not talking about, like, artifact artifact.

[00:32:28] I'm talking about, you know, decently powered magical items.

[00:32:35] Not some common trait, but maybe something a little more uncommon or rare.

[00:32:41] But not like, not like artifact, not like legendary.

[00:32:45] Certainly not like you're not talking about Excalibur or something.

[00:32:47] No, no, fuck, bud.

[00:32:49] Not like Excalibur, but maybe, you know.

[00:32:51] I'm a Fidelachist.

[00:32:56] Well, I will talk to Miss Usher and see if we can't requisition, if we can't part with some of the school's reliquary.

[00:33:07] All right, you got yourself a deal.

[00:33:08] No.

[00:33:09] And then you hear in the background, right before he clicks, you hear it's like,

[00:33:15] What was that about the reliquary?

[00:33:16] Click.

[00:33:18] Yeah.

[00:33:20] So, yeah.

[00:33:21] And as you guys are like, all right, so I guess we're ready.

[00:33:23] Oh, God.

[00:33:24] Like, this is something just like a kid, like a student, like early teens, or like late teens, early 20s.

[00:33:32] Like there with like a duffel bag.

[00:33:33] He's like, hey, so...

[00:33:36] This side's clean.

[00:33:40] Headmaster said to hand you this, or to come back and hand you this.

[00:33:45] That was fast.

[00:33:47] Portals, man.

[00:33:49] How they work.

[00:33:49] Oh, the C4.

[00:33:50] You clearly know.

[00:33:51] Okay, I will very carefully hand...

[00:33:54] Well, C4 and $5,000.

[00:33:57] In like stacks of bills.

[00:34:00] Stacks of bills and hand you the pile of C4.

[00:34:03] I don't know if I like this exchange.

[00:34:05] And he walks back over to like join up with the students that are going into the woods to like geomance the area.

[00:34:12] To geocache the area.

[00:34:14] Yeah.

[00:34:15] Yeah, it's actually...

[00:34:16] The geomancer actually did the Elizabeth Academy's like geocaching club.

[00:34:25] They would be the best at geocaching.

[00:34:27] They really would.

[00:34:29] They really would.

[00:34:30] Alright, so yeah, that's what happens.

[00:34:32] Yeah, so...

[00:34:34] You have a duffel bag of C4 to...

[00:34:39] You look at...

[00:34:40] You want to roll an explosives check?

[00:34:42] Or like a...

[00:34:42] Yeah, an explosive...

[00:34:43] I would say intelligence with your proficiency.

[00:34:47] Just to like have a knowledge of what you're looking at.

[00:34:50] Yeah.

[00:35:00] 7?

[00:35:01] 7?

[00:35:02] No.

[00:35:02] 10, sorry.

[00:35:03] 10?

[00:35:04] You're like...

[00:35:05] It's like you're pretty good.

[00:35:06] I bet that's probably enough.

[00:35:07] Like if I can like pad this stuff around like whatever breach this is, I can probably cave that breach in.

[00:35:14] If it like...

[00:35:15] It shouldn't take out a house above or like collapse the sewers on us or anything like that.

[00:35:20] Yeah, fuck.

[00:35:22] Alright.

[00:35:23] We got this.

[00:35:24] Yeah.

[00:35:24] I say we go for lunch because we got a free lunch.

[00:35:29] Yeah.

[00:35:30] That's true.

[00:35:31] I mean, yeah.

[00:35:33] Because if we die down there, then we don't get the free lunch.

[00:35:35] Right?

[00:35:36] Until a few days from now.

[00:35:37] So we go out our fucking free lunch on Andy and...

[00:35:41] Have a short rest.

[00:35:43] And then we can fucking get this fucking job done, right bud?

[00:35:47] Sounds good to me.

[00:35:49] Alright.

[00:35:50] Well, fucking A-ray.

[00:35:52] Alright, so I guess I'll hop on my motorcycle and put on my helmet.

[00:35:57] And that kid is taking the other motorcycle?

[00:35:59] Yeah, yeah.

[00:36:00] That guy, yeah.

[00:36:01] The kid that just gave me the dope bag is like, you guys tell him.

[00:36:03] He's like, oh, can you bring this to the school?

[00:36:04] He's like, oh, yeah, sure.

[00:36:05] I can do that.

[00:36:06] How do you ride a motorcycle?

[00:36:07] Ah, fuck.

[00:36:08] Yeah, yeah.

[00:36:09] He's fine.

[00:36:10] He pushes it through a portal.

[00:36:12] He could do.

[00:36:14] He just makes the portal directly under it.

[00:36:17] Yeah.

[00:36:18] He just pulls right in.

[00:36:22] Sorry, I just want to pull up.

[00:36:23] Because I wanted to see if I can actually find...

[00:36:26] The fuck the...

[00:36:28] This is probably superfluous, but I want to see if I can find a map of Kingsmith.

[00:36:35] That's very loud.

[00:36:37] Yeah, it does that when I have volume on this thing.

[00:36:41] Sometimes.

[00:36:46] Why am I not googling this on my phone?

[00:36:48] On a computer rather than my phone.

[00:36:51] And I think at this point, yeah, it is like...

[00:36:53] Actually, you guys are not going so much for lunch.

[00:36:55] You're going for dinner.

[00:36:56] Oh, okay.

[00:36:57] Because I think at this point, it's like late in the day.

[00:37:00] Okay.

[00:37:01] Yeah, because it took you guys about six hours to helicopter to Innsmouth.

[00:37:05] And that was like in the morning.

[00:37:07] So like, yeah, it would probably be evening at this point.

[00:37:12] Open image, new tab.

[00:37:14] Just going to use the hills menu from the diner.

[00:37:19] I guess that works.

[00:37:19] Yeah, I'll just add like lobster or some fish menu since it's a coastal town.

[00:37:26] Oh, yeah, fair.

[00:37:31] That was funny.

[00:37:34] The familiars trying to ride the bike and just like not...

[00:37:37] Just utterly failing.

[00:37:38] Yeah.

[00:37:40] Now your first roll was a 19.

[00:37:42] They did fine.

[00:37:43] Then fate got in the way.

[00:37:44] Yeah.

[00:37:45] So you guys go, you guys walk or drive out to Susie's just down like on the...

[00:37:51] It overlooks the piers and like the big crescent cove of Kingsmouth.

[00:37:57] Overlooks a bunch of mages.

[00:37:59] My piers.

[00:38:01] God damn it.

[00:38:02] The docks.

[00:38:03] Nice.

[00:38:03] You see a bunch of like sailing ships, penises, like modern penises and all kinds of yachts.

[00:38:12] My pants is pretty modern.

[00:38:13] Some yachts and some schooners out on the water.

[00:38:17] Like some fishermen are coming in from...

[00:38:19] Fishing trawlers.

[00:38:21] Yeah.

[00:38:21] There's the fresh smell of the sea air and seaweed.

[00:38:27] Class 2 icebreaker from the Canadian Coast Guard.

[00:38:30] Yeah.

[00:38:31] A mist rolls in and this like ancient like ghost ship comes in.

[00:38:37] It's like, Solomon Island, when does this not happen?

[00:38:41] No, it doesn't.

[00:38:42] But yeah, you go into Susie's and like there's a rotund, like an older rotund woman with curly

[00:38:47] hair and in like kind of a diner waitress kind of attire.

[00:38:52] Like giving some people coffee.

[00:38:54] It's like, oh, just find a spot, honeys.

[00:38:56] I'll get you settled shortly.

[00:38:59] Just find a spot.

[00:39:00] Okay.

[00:39:00] You see like a bunch of like window sides.

[00:39:03] Most of them, a couple of them are taken up.

[00:39:05] At this point it's nighttime.

[00:39:07] It's like early, it's like late afternoon.

[00:39:09] So it's like kind of getting ready for dinner and stuff.

[00:39:11] Okay.

[00:39:11] So you see a bunch of folks, like some local townies in like some like just got off from

[00:39:17] like fishing and some of that or work from the docks.

[00:39:19] And then some of them are tourists.

[00:39:22] There's a couple of seats at the actual like bar area or at the like the, where the kitchen

[00:39:28] area is.

[00:39:28] And then there's a couple of like booths that are still available.

[00:39:32] Okay.

[00:39:33] Okay.

[00:39:34] Then I guess we'll go take a booth.

[00:39:35] Okay.

[00:39:36] Sure.

[00:39:37] Okay.

[00:39:38] Yeah.

[00:39:38] You, she, as soon as, after a few months of sitting down, she like comes over and it's

[00:39:42] like, coffee sons?

[00:39:44] Uh, yes.

[00:39:46] All right.

[00:39:47] And she also like immediately like drops down some menus for you.

[00:39:50] It's like, uh, and, and then goes off to go get your coffees.

[00:39:53] Okay.

[00:39:53] You see this menu, which is, I'm basically just using, going to use the Hills menu.

[00:39:58] So it's the, uh, the all day dinners.

[00:40:00] Um, uh, you got a strip loin, uh, steak, uh, meat pie, Salisbury steak and onions, uh, fish,

[00:40:07] uh, or like a cod, uh, platter or like a cod dish, um, Turk, uh, not turkey, um, lobster,

[00:40:14] um, kind of thing.

[00:40:16] Um, definitely, uh, some, uh, veal cutlet, uh, pork sausages, stuff like that.

[00:40:22] Um, the actual like platters, there's like a whole thing of like fish and chips, um, hamburgers,

[00:40:29] cheeseburgers, like stuff like that.

[00:40:31] Mm-hmm.

[00:40:32] Hot dogs.

[00:40:33] There's some club sandwiches, um, uh, a couple of like, uh, more, like some other fish dishes

[00:40:41] and some, uh, some chicken and, uh, fries, uh, sort of dishes.

[00:40:44] There's, uh, there's the, uh, what is it?

[00:40:45] Deep fried steak and chicken, uh, steak and, steak and fries kind of thing that they, they

[00:40:49] do at like American, American, um.

[00:40:52] We don't work too, so I don't want to eat anything super heavy.

[00:40:55] There's also an all day breakfast section.

[00:40:57] They do have an all day breakfast section.

[00:40:59] Okay.

[00:40:59] Pull up the all day breakfast section.

[00:41:01] From the Hills.

[00:41:02] Uh, yeah, they got like a, uh, uh.

[00:41:04] I'm the hungry man.

[00:41:05] Yeah, they got, they got a hunger man.

[00:41:06] Yeah.

[00:41:07] Um, like all day breakfast thing, uh.

[00:41:09] You can't go wrong with that.

[00:41:10] Yeah, they really can't.

[00:41:11] It's, uh, what, what is the hungry man?

[00:41:13] Three eggs.

[00:41:14] Bacon.

[00:41:15] Three eggs, two pieces of part, p-man.

[00:41:17] Oh no, two pieces of back bacon, because that's what they call it.

[00:41:19] That's what they call it.

[00:41:20] Yeah.

[00:41:20] Two pieces of true bacon, sausage, two, uh, and then, um, uh, your choice of, uh, of,

[00:41:28] uh, regular fries or, uh, or tater tots and, um, uh, and white toast or rye.

[00:41:35] White toast, brown, or rye.

[00:41:38] Okay.

[00:41:39] So.

[00:41:39] Um, and while we're sitting at the table after I've decided what I'm going to have, but before

[00:41:43] we order, I'm going to start arranging for a ritual.

[00:41:47] I'm going to hold my finger on the thing that I'm, actually, I'm just going to tell you

[00:41:51] my order.

[00:41:52] It's the hungry man.

[00:41:54] Hold all the potatoes, um, with rye toast and orange juice.

[00:42:03] There's also, they also have a whole pie section.

[00:42:06] Like, they got apple pie, like, basically all American apple pie.

[00:42:10] Stop trying to make us go into a, into a diabetic coma.

[00:42:13] We have a mission dinner.

[00:42:14] Terry pie.

[00:42:15] This is a long rest.

[00:42:17] We're looking to get hit points back and not have a heart attack.

[00:42:21] Yeah.

[00:42:21] Well, you should think I'm going to an American diner.

[00:42:24] Okay, we're going to go back to Canada to get some food.

[00:42:27] Well, go through the Agartha border.

[00:42:28] Go back to fucking Canada.

[00:42:30] To get just as bad diner food.

[00:42:31] To get just as bad diner food.

[00:42:34] Let's be honest.

[00:42:35] Our diner food is just as bad.

[00:42:37] Yeah.

[00:42:38] Uh, I mean, yes and no.

[00:42:41] Our portions are, our portions are a little, are a little healthier.

[00:42:44] I mean, hunger man in the hills?

[00:42:48] That's...

[00:42:48] Yeah, if you got that in the States, it would, it would be, uh, five pieces of bacon.

[00:42:54] You know, that is what had three full sausages.

[00:42:57] I got to, I got to experience a Waffle House when I was in Kentucky.

[00:43:01] And I, I just ordered, like, uh, I, I think, I can't remember what it was ordered, but like,

[00:43:05] I got a, like, a large plate of just shredded, fried, like, potato bits.

[00:43:12] And like, uh, with like some kind of thing, like gravy, like, just drizzled on it.

[00:43:15] I was like, oh, this is a heart attack city.

[00:43:17] I love it.

[00:43:19] Just a mountain.

[00:43:20] Remember that time that we got the double dabs and we dipped them in gravy?

[00:43:23] Yeah.

[00:43:27] So now that we've made our listeners super hungry.

[00:43:29] Yeah, everyone who's listening is now eating because they had to make something to eat.

[00:43:33] Yeah.

[00:43:34] So for any restaurants listening, uh, please sponsor us.

[00:43:38] Because we're basically, yeah, we basically just sponsored hills.

[00:43:40] Yeah.

[00:43:41] Basically.

[00:43:42] This is amusing the, uh, hills from Orillia.

[00:43:46] Um, but yeah.

[00:43:48] So I'm going to tell you what I want and I'm going to start setting up my candles on the

[00:43:52] table and light them and start going through my ritual to,

[00:43:55] resummon my, uh, uh, familiar.

[00:43:58] Okay.

[00:43:59] Oh yeah, because he got squished.

[00:44:01] No, because he got turned into, because I turned into an octopus.

[00:44:04] Yeah, yeah.

[00:44:18] Okay, uh, yeah, just, um, uh, please don't make it too messy.

[00:44:23] Uh, yeah.

[00:44:23] Don't worry, we'll clean up after ourselves.

[00:44:25] All right, all right.

[00:44:25] Thank you.

[00:44:26] Um, so what can I get you guys?

[00:44:29] Um, well, for, uh, for my friend here, Hungry Man, with, uh, no potatoes on anything.

[00:44:35] Um, and, uh, what, what are you gonna make like that?

[00:44:38] No, she's like, hold the potatoes.

[00:44:42] Hold the potatoes.

[00:44:43] I'm just saying what he wants, man.

[00:44:44] All right, I don't want to make it.

[00:44:45] Um, uh, orange juice and, um, that was it, right?

[00:44:49] Hold the potatoes, orange juice?

[00:44:51] Hold the potatoes, orange juice, rye bread.

[00:44:53] Oh, and, on, uh, rye bread.

[00:44:55] All right, I already just wrote that down.

[00:44:56] I was like, hey, are you hooked?

[00:44:58] Um, I'll have a Hungry Man.

[00:45:00] Don't hold the potatoes.

[00:45:01] Um, maybe half a potato.

[00:45:03] Wait, don't hold the potatoes?

[00:45:03] No, just, just a Hungry Man's fine.

[00:45:05] I'll make it less complicated.

[00:45:08] Hungry Man, white bread, um, also orange juice.

[00:45:14] All right, all right.

[00:45:15] Um, all right, I'll come right up, so he's, he grabs the menus and, uh, walks off to, uh,

[00:45:21] to the, uh, the back.

[00:45:22] Wait, this is on the, the sheriff, right?

[00:45:23] Yeah.

[00:45:24] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:45:25] So before she leaves, you're like.

[00:45:26] All right, by the way, this is on the sheriff.

[00:45:28] Oh, is it?

[00:45:29] Oh, okay.

[00:45:30] Um, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, if I don't need to mind, I'll have to give him a call.

[00:45:33] Of course.

[00:45:34] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:45:34] Of course.

[00:45:35] All right, yeah, no problem.

[00:45:36] Mm.

[00:45:36] Yeah, so she walks over.

[00:45:37] My name's John, by the way.

[00:45:39] You didn't ask him.

[00:45:40] John and Jacob.

[00:45:42] Hey, guy.

[00:45:44] Look, she's walking off.

[00:45:45] Because, like, they usually don't ask when you're talking.

[00:45:47] True, yeah.

[00:45:48] She would call and be like, there's a couple of guys here that are saying dinners on you,

[00:45:52] and then, then he'd be like, oh, yeah, those guys I just talked to, yeah.

[00:45:55] Yeah, and sure enough, like, you see her, like, go on, like, the old, on, like, a rotary phone

[00:45:58] on the side, like, next to the kitchen.

[00:46:00] Nice.

[00:46:00] Near the door to the kitchen, so that, and, like, has a, like, a brief conversation, and

[00:46:05] then it's like, okay, very cheerful, just, like, goes, and then, like, puts the slots

[00:46:10] in and hits the bell.

[00:46:11] Mm-hmm.

[00:46:12] So your food will come in, like, about five, ten minutes.

[00:46:14] Okay, cool.

[00:46:15] So I have ten minutes to do a waterwalking virtual.

[00:46:18] Okay, cool.

[00:46:19] Yep.

[00:46:20] What, do you want to do it now, or, like?

[00:46:22] We're waiting for ten minutes.

[00:46:23] That's right.

[00:46:24] So I'm just going to be, both of us are just doing it.

[00:46:26] Like, you guys are just, like, in your little alcove, like, with the ocean, like, harbor,

[00:46:31] like, in the window, like, through the window, and you guys are just like...

[00:46:34] You know what we should have for our ritual?

[00:46:37] We should bring magic cards with us, and just be playing Magic the Gathering.

[00:46:43] That's our ritual.

[00:46:44] Okay.

[00:46:45] Because...

[00:46:46] They just have, like, secret, like, inscriptions on them, cards?

[00:46:48] Yeah.

[00:46:49] Because then to other people looking, we're just playing Magic the Gathering.

[00:46:52] That would be really good for, like, yeah, like, was it Tradecraft?

[00:46:55] That would be really good Tradecraft.

[00:46:57] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:00] Yeah?

[00:47:01] Yeah, I actually really agree with that.

[00:47:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:03] Or bust out some Pogs.

[00:47:05] Like, what?

[00:47:10] But yeah, so you guys are doing your rituals as well as that, and then, like, what...

[00:47:12] At one point during, like, the five-ten meds, she comes over to check on your coffees.

[00:47:19] Mm-hmm.

[00:47:20] But then, like, yeah, you guys get your rituals done.

[00:47:24] Yep.

[00:47:24] And, yeah, as soon as you guys get your rituals done, basically, the food arrives.

[00:47:28] Cool.

[00:47:29] So...

[00:47:29] By the way, in Magic the Gathering, is there, like, different elemental cards and stuff like

[00:47:34] that?

[00:47:36] Like, you make a deck, right?

[00:47:38] Yeah.

[00:47:38] Yeah.

[00:47:39] So, if you make a deck red, it's mostly lightning and fire effects.

[00:47:44] If you make a black deck, it's mostly necromancy effects.

[00:47:48] Yeah.

[00:47:48] If you make a white deck, it's mostly...

[00:47:51] Healing.

[00:47:54] Healing or...

[00:47:55] Cleric?

[00:47:56] Like, palette?

[00:47:56] Like, very, like...

[00:47:57] It's very cleric-y.

[00:47:58] Holy.

[00:47:59] Holy damage.

[00:48:00] That's the one.

[00:48:00] Yeah.

[00:48:01] If you make a blue deck, it's all water-based.

[00:48:04] Yeah.

[00:48:05] And a green deck is all...

[00:48:08] Forest.

[00:48:08] Like, bruids and stuff like that.

[00:48:10] Yeah.

[00:48:10] So, I'm using a whole bunch of blue cards for the water-walking.

[00:48:14] And you're using a bunch of, like...

[00:48:15] Well, you...

[00:48:15] Instead of candles, you have, like, a couple, like, mountain lands.

[00:48:20] Yeah.

[00:48:20] Yeah.

[00:48:21] Yeah.

[00:48:22] Or you would, yeah.

[00:48:24] But, yeah.

[00:48:25] So, what was your ritual?

[00:48:26] Because, anyway, his is the water-walking ritual.

[00:48:28] What's your ritual?

[00:48:30] To...

[00:48:31] Oh.

[00:48:32] Someone familiar.

[00:48:32] Someone familiar, yeah.

[00:48:33] So that I can change him to a barn owl.

[00:48:37] Okay.

[00:48:38] So, a barn owl just appears in the diner.

[00:48:43] How close does he have to summon?

[00:48:44] Can he just show up on the roof?

[00:48:46] Yeah.

[00:48:47] Well, I mean, if we're sitting by a window, then I could make him appear outside.

[00:48:51] Yeah.

[00:48:51] Okay, but it's not like he doesn't have to appear in your hand or something.

[00:48:54] No.

[00:48:55] No.

[00:48:56] It's magic.

[00:48:57] It's magic.

[00:48:58] Yeah.

[00:48:58] But, I mean, even if I did, I could immediately banish him and then just hold him in his little

[00:49:03] pocket dimension.

[00:49:04] Oh, okay.

[00:49:04] Sure.

[00:49:05] Yeah.

[00:49:05] Yeah, so he's like...

[00:49:06] It's just changing his form.

[00:49:08] You have to cast the spell or as a spell or ritual to change his form.

[00:49:14] Yeah.

[00:49:14] So, I just...

[00:49:14] I don't need an octopus anymore.

[00:49:16] Yeah.

[00:49:17] No.

[00:49:17] Yeah, that failed utterly.

[00:49:19] It did.

[00:49:20] Hilariously, though.

[00:49:20] Yeah.

[00:49:21] So, that's fine.

[00:49:21] Um...

[00:49:22] Okay, so you get your owl familiar back and you've got water walking.

[00:49:27] Yeah.

[00:49:27] Basically primed.

[00:49:29] And then, yeah, your food arrives.

[00:49:30] Your hunger man's.

[00:49:32] So...

[00:49:32] Uh...

[00:49:33] So you didn't take the potatoes.

[00:49:34] You're fine.

[00:49:35] Roll a constitution save.

[00:49:37] Oh, yeah.

[00:49:44] Constitution save.

[00:49:47] Come on.

[00:49:50] It's not too bad.

[00:49:52] Uh...

[00:49:54] 15?

[00:49:55] 15?

[00:49:56] Is that enough?

[00:49:56] That's enough to not be exhausted.

[00:49:58] Okay, cool.

[00:49:59] I was like...

[00:50:00] Oh, that was good.

[00:50:02] It's so greasy.

[00:50:03] Like, you're definitely lost some years off your life.

[00:50:05] But whatever.

[00:50:06] That was worth it.

[00:50:06] It's worth it.

[00:50:07] I'll just respawn anyways.

[00:50:11] Oh, my God.

[00:50:12] That's always the answer when anything that has to do with death.

[00:50:16] Okay.

[00:50:16] So, um...

[00:50:18] I wonder if that's why, like, what Jesus thought.

[00:50:19] It's like...

[00:50:20] So, fine.

[00:50:20] I'll be...

[00:50:21] I'll come back in three days.

[00:50:22] I don't think he knew at the time.

[00:50:24] I'm pretty sure he did.

[00:50:25] I think it was, like, preordained.

[00:50:27] No, was it?

[00:50:28] Like, he knew that, like...

[00:50:29] Oh, yeah.

[00:50:29] I'm pretty sure he knew Judas was going to portray him and stuff like that.

[00:50:31] Fair, yeah.

[00:50:35] I'm not getting...

[00:50:36] He's just the original bee.

[00:50:37] Well, no, no.

[00:50:37] He was a bee.

[00:50:39] Because that's, like, a lot of demigods in mythology in the secret world are actually just bees.

[00:50:44] Yeah.

[00:50:45] So, Jesus, mythologically, would be a demigod.

[00:50:49] For sure.

[00:50:50] Had a lot of healing spells.

[00:50:52] Was the son of a god.

[00:50:54] Hence, a demigod.

[00:50:55] But, yeah.

[00:50:57] Anyway, um...

[00:50:57] Can you fabricate?

[00:50:58] Now that we've...

[00:50:59] Now that we've installed the Christian base of our podcast...

[00:51:03] It's okay, fans.

[00:51:05] I am, in fact, Anglican.

[00:51:07] Or, for our American audience, Episcopalian.

[00:51:11] Or, for our UK audience, the Church of England.

[00:51:15] Yeah.

[00:51:16] So, I'm allowed...

[00:51:17] That makes sense why it's called Anglican.

[00:51:19] Because...

[00:51:20] England.

[00:51:22] Anglo.

[00:51:23] Yeah.

[00:51:23] Fair.

[00:51:26] I have no excuse.

[00:51:28] I'm an...

[00:51:29] I'm an...

[00:51:29] Um...

[00:51:30] Yeah.

[00:51:31] I'm, like...

[00:51:33] Agnostic.

[00:51:34] So.

[00:51:35] Yeah.

[00:51:38] Uh...

[00:51:38] Right.

[00:51:39] So.

[00:51:40] I'm going to find out how long that lasts.

[00:51:42] Because that might still be going.

[00:51:47] What might still be going?

[00:51:48] Mage armor.

[00:51:49] Yeah.

[00:51:50] Mm.

[00:51:51] Yeah.

[00:51:52] How long has it been since...

[00:51:53] Uh...

[00:51:53] There's, like, 45-50 minutes at the Fortune Tellers alone.

[00:51:57] So, it's probably been, like, two, three hours at this point.

[00:52:00] Yeah.

[00:52:00] It lasts eight hours.

[00:52:01] Okay.

[00:52:01] Oh.

[00:52:02] Then you're fine.

[00:52:02] Yeah.

[00:52:03] Because it's been about...

[00:52:03] I'll say, like, I'll submit...

[00:52:05] Like, by the time you guys are done out of the diner and stuff like that...

[00:52:07] I don't think I've seen that.

[00:52:07] It would have been about three hours.

[00:52:11] This was a birthday present from Sarah.

[00:52:13] Nice.

[00:52:14] It holds all my spell cards.

[00:52:17] So that I can actually have a spell book with spell cards.

[00:52:20] That's excellent.

[00:52:21] That's so cool.

[00:52:22] Right?

[00:52:23] You know what I kind of want, actually?

[00:52:24] I want to get an old...

[00:52:25] I'm going to go to an AT store or a thrift store and find an old, um...

[00:52:29] Rotary.

[00:52:30] Like, those, like, um...

[00:52:31] Rolodex.

[00:52:32] Rolodex thing.

[00:52:33] Nice.

[00:52:33] Use that.

[00:52:34] Yeah.

[00:52:35] That's what I want to do for cards.

[00:52:37] Because I'm going to be getting some power cards because of this game.

[00:52:40] Mm-hmm.

[00:52:41] And also, when I was looking up, like, spells for, like, some character creating yesterday,

[00:52:46] I was like, man, I should just buy some bard cards, spell cards, and all that kind of stuff.

[00:52:51] I do love the spell cards.

[00:52:52] They really do make life better.

[00:52:54] Yeah.

[00:52:56] It's easy for reference.

[00:52:57] Um, okay.

[00:52:59] So you guys are finishing up your meal.

[00:53:01] It was quite...

[00:53:01] It was...

[00:53:02] Even without the sweet, sweet potato...

[00:53:04] Without the potatoes and stuff like that, the grease was just amazing on all the food.

[00:53:09] I don't think I marked down all of the spells that I cast last session.

[00:53:14] Um, but because we're getting a short rest in, I get some of my spell slots back.

[00:53:19] So I'm just going to leave it spent the way it is.

[00:53:22] Okay.

[00:53:22] Uh, and go from there.

[00:53:24] Okay.

[00:53:27] Do you not mark it off as you cast?

[00:53:29] I usually do.

[00:53:30] How do you know you didn't already?

[00:53:32] Um, because I know that I cast, uh, Scorching Ray with a 4th level spell slot, and I have

[00:53:40] nothing marked in my 4th level spell slots.

[00:53:42] Okay.

[00:53:44] Gotcha.

[00:53:46] And just for my own...

[00:53:47] Remember, um...

[00:53:49] Just for me as well, I don't get anything back from short rest, right?

[00:53:53] It's you because of your class?

[00:53:54] Correct.

[00:53:54] It's a cost-based thing?

[00:53:55] I have to do a long rest to actually get anything back?

[00:53:58] Unless your class says otherwise.

[00:53:59] Yeah.

[00:54:00] Do you get all of it back on a long rest?

[00:54:02] No, I only get half of my class level worth of spell slots.

[00:54:06] So, because we're level 8, I get 4 levels worth of spell slots.

[00:54:11] So that could be 2 level 2s or 1 level 4.

[00:54:13] On a short or a long?

[00:54:15] On a short.

[00:54:15] On a long, I get everything back.

[00:54:17] Oh, okay.

[00:54:21] Right.

[00:54:22] Um...

[00:54:23] And I can only do that once per long rest.

[00:54:26] Mm-hmm.

[00:54:27] So if we have to take another short rest at some point, I don't get any more spell

[00:54:32] slots back.

[00:54:33] Yeah.

[00:54:35] So just go across it in here.

[00:54:37] Oh, maybe that's what I should get.

[00:54:38] If I have a pearl of power.

[00:54:41] Just for refresh, yeah.

[00:54:44] Yeah, so you guys...

[00:54:45] Like I said, you don't cast a ton in this game.

[00:54:47] No, but when I do...

[00:54:49] It's just seconds.

[00:54:52] Jinx.

[00:54:54] Um...

[00:54:55] Yeah, so you guys pay your $20, basically, like the meal.

[00:54:58] We ain't paying shit.

[00:54:59] Oh, yeah, you're right.

[00:55:01] How dare you?

[00:55:02] Yeah, sorry.

[00:55:02] I forgot my own thing.

[00:55:03] Yeah.

[00:55:04] Yeah, so it's all in empty steps.

[00:55:05] You guys, like, basically, like...

[00:55:07] Like she...

[00:55:08] She knows...

[00:55:09] Like she's, like, all...

[00:55:10] Like she grabs all your dishes or your plates and some of that.

[00:55:13] It's like, all right, well...

[00:55:14] Nice to see some newcomers, as always.

[00:55:16] Tourists and some of that.

[00:55:18] Y'all come back now, here.

[00:55:21] We will.

[00:55:21] That was very good.

[00:55:22] I'm very slow to get up.

[00:55:24] We have that effect on people.

[00:55:26] Yeah.

[00:55:27] I will spryly leap up.

[00:55:29] She, like, points over and is like...

[00:55:31] See those little boys over there?

[00:55:32] You, like, see some old guys, like, drinking and, like, talking and some of that?

[00:55:35] Those boys have been there since, uh, time of memorial.

[00:55:39] They've never left.

[00:55:40] No.

[00:55:41] They've just installed toilets underneath their seats.

[00:55:44] Yeah.

[00:55:46] Fuck, but...

[00:55:46] That's why I don't eat the fucking potatoes.

[00:55:48] They're so good, though.

[00:55:50] They are, but they're a dinner food, and we got work to do.

[00:55:53] I'll burn them off.

[00:55:54] It's fine.

[00:55:55] All right.

[00:55:56] Yeah, so you guys walk out and back onto the...

[00:56:00] Onto the docks in, like, the coastal street, or the...

[00:56:03] How's your hit point doing?

[00:56:05] I haven't been hit.

[00:56:06] Oh, okay.

[00:56:08] And then...

[00:56:09] Hold on.

[00:56:09] Do you have any healing spells?

[00:56:15] Healing word and prayer of healing.

[00:56:18] Okay, so you do actually have some legit healing spells.

[00:56:21] Yes.

[00:56:22] Though prayer of healing is 10 minute casting time.

[00:56:24] Yes, it is.

[00:56:24] By healing word is a bonus action, so...

[00:56:26] Yes.

[00:56:28] Okay.

[00:56:28] So you guys drive, like, take your bikes, head back up to the manhole.

[00:56:33] The manhole is also...

[00:56:34] Is actually unsupervised.

[00:56:36] Like, there's just, like, some police tape and stuff around you still.

[00:56:39] And you look down the street, like, far, like, down where that trees...

[00:56:43] The copse of trees where Marcel blew himself up.

[00:56:47] That's where the deputy's new station is.

[00:56:50] But nobody's watching this one.

[00:56:51] They just got it, like, taped off for the time being.

[00:56:53] And you guys, I guess, slink back into the manhole?

[00:56:58] Or open the manhole?

[00:56:59] Because I think you closed it last time.

[00:57:01] Yeah.

[00:57:02] I would assume we would close it, not leave it open so the Aqab can get out.

[00:57:05] Yeah.

[00:57:05] I mean, well, they definitely wouldn't be...

[00:57:07] If they were trying to get through that hole, you'd know, because there would be no manhole left.

[00:57:11] It would actually be a much larger hole.

[00:57:13] It'd be like an emergence hole from Gears of War.

[00:57:16] Yeah.

[00:57:17] But yeah, you open it up.

[00:57:19] You want to roll perception checks as you guys...

[00:57:21] Before we go down, I'm going to go to a little patch of grass.

[00:57:25] And I'm going to use Druidcraft to make the wild strawberries grow a little bit.

[00:57:33] And then I'm going to cast Goodberry.

[00:57:36] So it gives me ten berries.

[00:57:37] Okay.

[00:57:38] I'm going to divide them in half, give you five, and keep five for myself.

[00:57:41] Yeah, you go over to the stone wall that's right...

[00:57:45] There's a stone wall with stairs that go up to an elevated area where the Church of Kingsmouth is.

[00:57:51] And you can find a patch of wild strawberries there.

[00:57:55] Excellent.

[00:57:57] Okay.

[00:57:59] And then, yeah, you walk back from there to the manhole because it's pretty close to that area.

[00:58:02] Yeah.

[00:58:03] And you said perception?

[00:58:04] Yeah, perception.

[00:58:05] As you guys are looking down the yawning black hole that is the source.

[00:58:10] Nineteen.

[00:58:11] Okay.

[00:58:12] Natural twenty.

[00:58:14] Okay.

[00:58:16] Yeah.

[00:58:17] Right?

[00:58:20] Yeah, I'm going to say this.

[00:58:21] Yeah, you guys both hear down there off in the distance echoing a little bit some chittering and gurgling sounds.

[00:58:29] You're like, yeah, I guess I could picture somebody who thinks that's an alligator sound, like one of those alligator thrum.

[00:58:35] But there's definitely an underlying insectoid-like chittering.

[00:58:39] Okay.

[00:58:39] But yeah, there are apparently some more a cob down there.

[00:58:44] Get down there, hell divers.

[00:58:46] Yeah, pretty much.

[00:58:47] For democracy.

[00:58:49] Yeah, I walk out into the hole with my fist up and just drop in.

[00:58:58] That's pretty much what I planned to do.

[00:59:00] We have waterwalks, so we'll probably just bounce off the water in there.

[00:59:05] Where is it?

[00:59:13] Fuck yeah.

[00:59:14] Okay, how fast do you think we can fucking do this?

[00:59:19] Without being down there, I don't know.

[00:59:21] Less than ten fucking minutes?

[00:59:23] I hope so.

[00:59:24] Fuck yeah.

[00:59:24] Okay, I'm going to cast spirit guardians.

[00:59:26] Okay.

[00:59:30] So I get my army of little pixie dudes riding on canaries with their tiny little lances.

[00:59:40] Yo.

[00:59:41] For the medias!

[00:59:45] And then I'm going to...

[00:59:51] No, I'm just picturing them as little mini-zell divers.

[00:59:57] Riding tyrannets.

[00:59:58] The terminids.

[01:00:02] I just realized, yeah, the terminids is basically like, they basically like riffed off of tyranids.

[01:00:08] The xenomorph insectoid creature raised from Warhammer 40k.

[01:00:14] Oh yeah, I guess.

[01:00:15] Yeah.

[01:00:15] I mean, I'm sure that was termite and then like tyranid maybe.

[01:00:19] Yeah.

[01:00:20] Okay, and then you do have waterwalks, so it doesn't have to be anything that can deal with the water.

[01:00:31] Yep.

[01:00:41] Is it also sad that I was like thinking, it's like, you know, whenever we turn to Eberron, since we have like devil stuff we're going to be dealing with, like hell stuff we're going to be dealing with, I could literally have you guys be helldunners in Eberron.

[01:00:52] Okay.

[01:00:53] You see.

[01:00:55] And then I'm going to drop down the hole.

[01:00:58] Yep.

[01:00:58] Into a superhero landing.

[01:01:01] Oh, he's doing a superhero landing.

[01:01:02] It's hell on the knees.

[01:01:03] And then immediately change into a brown bear.

[01:01:07] Okay.

[01:01:09] I almost imagined like, you, like I'm up top, I see you jump in, and then in the transition between the top and the bottom, a bear comes out.

[01:01:19] Yes.

[01:01:20] Because you need to hide yourself.

[01:01:21] Right, because I need to do that thing.

[01:01:22] Yes.

[01:01:22] So yes, in the transition, in the dark, I drop in through the, to the shadow, and as I come out of the shadow, I am a bear.

[01:01:31] Yeah, so you like, you like dive down, roll into the darkness, and then like when you come back into the spotlight from the manhole, you're a bear.

[01:01:38] Yeah.

[01:01:39] Oh no, I think he means like, we're on the street, we're about to go down the ladder, he jumps down.

[01:01:44] Okay.

[01:01:44] In the transition period from the top of the street, to when you come out from the ladder into the opening of the area down there, he pops out as a bear.

[01:01:52] Okay.

[01:01:52] Yep.

[01:01:53] Okay.

[01:01:54] That's the plan.

[01:01:55] All right.

[01:01:56] So you are a bear.

[01:01:57] 40, 10.

[01:01:58] You are.

[01:01:59] I'll follow you down, land on your back.

[01:02:01] Let's go.

[01:02:02] Bear cavalry.

[01:02:03] They'll never see it coming.

[01:02:07] I assume you've seen those memes, right?

[01:02:09] No.

[01:02:09] Oh man, really?

[01:02:11] Bears with guns.

[01:02:12] You're fucked now, America.

[01:02:13] That's like questions.

[01:02:15] That's like, bear cavalry.

[01:02:16] I bet you didn't see this coming.

[01:02:19] No.

[01:02:19] 32 and 12 is 44.

[01:02:43] My AC is...

[01:02:45] Really?

[01:02:51] Thanks.

[01:02:52] Okay, so...

[01:02:53] You're a large creature.

[01:02:54] Ish.

[01:02:55] Give me an AC of 14.

[01:03:00] But, that's fine.

[01:03:02] I have quite a few hit points.

[01:03:05] Some good attacks.

[01:03:08] Acceptable.

[01:03:09] All right.

[01:03:10] Let's do this.

[01:03:11] And by that, I mean...

[01:03:12] Rrrr!

[01:03:14] Scare more people of Cobb.

[01:03:16] I'm really looking to attract the attention of the Cobbs that are down here.

[01:03:20] Oh, fair.

[01:03:21] Because I only have 10 minutes of concentration with this spell to really rip these guys a new one.

[01:03:29] Okay.

[01:03:30] Well, you do hear a responding, like, sound.

[01:03:33] Like, sort of like a screeching, like, insect.

[01:03:35] Like a...

[01:03:36] An insect screech.

[01:03:38] But, like, a thousand times larger.

[01:03:40] Like, louder than it should be.

[01:03:41] Or than it would be.

[01:03:42] Kind of call back in response.

[01:03:45] And you hear some smaller, like, skittering and, like, shrieking sounds.

[01:03:49] Like, deeper in the tunnels.

[01:03:50] As you're...

[01:03:50] I guess you're charging in.

[01:03:52] Like, head on toward it.

[01:03:53] Mm-hmm.

[01:03:53] All right, so you're falling behind.

[01:03:55] Are you falling behind or are you actually riding him?

[01:03:58] Is a bear considerably faster than a human?

[01:03:59] I am big enough to ride.

[01:04:00] You are, but is a bear considerably faster than a human?

[01:04:03] I...

[01:04:04] My speed is 40 feet.

[01:04:05] That's faster.

[01:04:06] So, yeah.

[01:04:06] And I get a climb speed of 30 feet.

[01:04:09] Nice.

[01:04:09] Nice.

[01:04:10] That's pretty neat.

[01:04:11] I can climb trees almost as fast as I can run.

[01:04:14] That's nuts.

[01:04:15] Nice.

[01:04:15] Well, and if you've ever seen bears climb trees, they can climb them almost as fast as they

[01:04:20] can run.

[01:04:21] That's excellent.

[01:04:21] So, yes, I'm riding the back of him, summoning my G11 and reloading it from the...

[01:04:26] Because I never reloaded it from the last encounter.

[01:04:29] And you almost needed to.

[01:04:31] Yes, almost.

[01:04:31] I almost used enough bullets.

[01:04:33] As little fairy creatures, like, fairy soldiers on canaries are kind of, like, circling around

[01:04:37] you as well.

[01:04:38] Flying in V formations.

[01:04:39] Call the bear lord!

[01:04:43] We got you, Papa Bear!

[01:04:47] And you're going through, like...

[01:04:49] You go down, like, a length of tunnel.

[01:04:50] Like, basically where you guys were before.

[01:04:54] And eventually, kind of out of the darkness, you see another one of those large, like, terrifying

[01:05:04] insect Cthulhoid creatures of the Aqab come running out to kind of face you.

[01:05:11] Okay.

[01:05:12] Just bearing its uncannily human-like teeth at you.

[01:05:18] Bearing?

[01:05:18] Yeah.

[01:05:19] Mm-hmm.

[01:05:19] And it's just coming at you with, like, full force with, like, its large, like, slicing

[01:05:25] claws.

[01:05:26] Did it enter within 15 feet of me?

[01:05:28] Yes.

[01:05:29] All right.

[01:05:30] Then he gets descended upon by my spirit guardians.

[01:05:33] All right.

[01:05:34] Which I can remember how to do this, because, you know...

[01:05:38] Don't they just do damage if...

[01:05:39] I believe it's a save, but I don't remember what save it is.

[01:05:45] Spirit guardians.

[01:05:51] Effective creature's speed is halved in the area.

[01:05:55] Okay.

[01:05:56] When the creature enters the area for the first time, or starts its turn there, it must make

[01:06:01] a wisdom saving throw.

[01:06:03] Okay.

[01:06:06] That is... good, actually.

[01:06:10] 19.

[01:06:10] Just a dirty 19.

[01:06:12] Like, no modifiers, because you don't have, like, a zero on their wisdom modifier.

[01:06:16] Okay.

[01:06:16] Well, my spell save DC is not that good, so it succeeded.

[01:06:19] Okay.

[01:06:20] Okay.

[01:06:23] Get my initiative.

[01:06:24] Get my initiative.

[01:06:26] On a successful save, they take half damage.

[01:06:28] So I still got a roll damage.

[01:06:31] Where's my 8?

[01:06:35] 4.

[01:06:36] 4.

[01:06:38] 7.

[01:06:40] 8 and 7 is 15.

[01:06:42] Half that is 7.

[01:06:46] Okay.

[01:06:47] So they take 7 radiant damage.

[01:06:50] Okay.

[01:06:50] Do I get a surprise round as well?

[01:06:52] Or should I wait till the end?

[01:06:53] No, they knew...

[01:06:54] I mean, you guys didn't have a surprise round, because they knew you were coming, because

[01:06:56] of the roar and then the respondent shriek.

[01:06:58] Like, they were both... you were both charging at each other.

[01:07:01] Yeah.

[01:07:02] So yeah, you guys, roll initiatives.

[01:07:04] Go.

[01:07:04] As you're going into battle.

[01:07:06] Sorry, that was 7 damage?

[01:07:07] Yes.

[01:07:09] Radiant.

[01:07:09] Yeah.

[01:07:13] Fuck.

[01:07:13] It does appear to be only 1.

[01:07:16] A cop that is initiating combat right now.

[01:07:20] The other sounds that you are hearing behind him are a little bit off in the distance, and

[01:07:26] like, they don't seem to be getting closer.

[01:07:28] Okay.

[01:07:30] But...

[01:07:32] A total of 21.

[01:07:35] A total of 18.

[01:07:37] Alright.

[01:07:38] Let's go to a total of 16.

[01:07:40] So 18...

[01:07:41] So...

[01:07:42] What was yours, Jacob?

[01:07:44] 21.

[01:07:45] 21?

[01:07:46] Oh, no.

[01:07:47] Sorry.

[01:07:47] His was 21.

[01:07:48] Yeah, sorry.

[01:07:49] I was 18.

[01:07:50] John was 21.

[01:07:51] And the creature was...

[01:07:52] And the...

[01:07:52] A cop was 16.

[01:07:55] Okay.

[01:07:55] Alright, so top of the round.

[01:07:57] So John, I'm going to shoot him with bullets.

[01:08:00] Alright.

[01:08:01] Ah!

[01:08:02] Yeah, pretty much.

[01:08:06] Are you dual-wielding hip-firing?

[01:08:09] If I want to miss everything, yeah.

[01:08:11] While standing on my back?

[01:08:13] That'd be the coolest way to do it, for sure.

[01:08:15] Right?

[01:08:15] He's like, ah!

[01:08:17] He's hit the ceiling.

[01:08:18] Take disadvantage on everything, though.

[01:08:22] But you get to roll 19 times.

[01:08:26] 19?

[01:08:26] Why is it an odd number?

[01:08:31] Um...

[01:08:34] 13 to hit.

[01:08:37] I didn't roll.

[01:08:37] I didn't roll super well.

[01:08:38] Is not going to hit.

[01:08:39] I figured.

[01:08:40] But I get another shot.

[01:08:41] Yes, he does.

[01:08:42] He does.

[01:08:44] Oh, and weirdly, you don't take disadvantage.

[01:08:47] What do you mean?

[01:08:49] Because you're riding me, but I have a saddle.

[01:08:54] Do you?

[01:08:57] Why?

[01:08:58] We discussed this.

[01:09:00] Did we?

[01:09:01] Are you gaslighting me?

[01:09:04] For, um...

[01:09:05] I don't know.

[01:09:05] Roll wisdom.

[01:09:07] Susan?

[01:09:09] Susan?

[01:09:10] The girl.

[01:09:12] The somewhat middle-aged woman with the...

[01:09:15] Oh, Sharon.

[01:09:15] Sharon.

[01:09:16] Sharon.

[01:09:17] Um, Sharon...

[01:09:18] rode me into battle the one time.

[01:09:21] Right.

[01:09:21] And we had discussed afterwards that I didn't have a proper saddle.

[01:09:25] So then we had discussed me getting a magic saddle, or magic, only in that it stays on my back as my backpack.

[01:09:35] Yeah, it's like basically a common, like, magic item.

[01:09:38] We'll say it's a common magic item that you found.

[01:09:39] It's basically like a small piece of leather that then, like, changes when you change.

[01:09:45] Yeah.

[01:09:45] All right.

[01:09:46] I'm fine.

[01:09:47] Cool.

[01:09:48] So, yeah.

[01:09:51] It's like, why do you have this piece of leather?

[01:09:53] This little, like, one inch by one inch square of leather in your pocket.

[01:09:57] Lucky.

[01:09:57] It's a saddle that I wear on my wrist.

[01:09:59] Yeah.

[01:10:00] Yeah, exactly.

[01:10:00] That's it.

[01:10:01] So, uh, yeah, it's, um...

[01:10:03] 19 on my second hit.

[01:10:04] That will hit.

[01:10:05] Okay.

[01:10:06] And then I tell people that I use it as a pillow.

[01:10:12] Fair enough.

[01:10:18] So my watch has a comfortable place to sit.

[01:10:26] Sorry, that's, uh...

[01:10:29] 16 damage from bullets.

[01:10:31] Okay.

[01:10:32] Physical, um, puncture, whatever it is.

[01:10:35] Yeah.

[01:10:36] Is that how much damage?

[01:10:37] 16.

[01:10:38] 100.

[01:10:40] Okay.

[01:10:42] And...

[01:10:44] Actually, do I have a bonus action thing I want to do right in here?

[01:10:49] Actually, yeah.

[01:10:50] Um, I probably should have done this first in hindsight, but he showed up and scared me.

[01:10:55] So, I shot him first.

[01:10:57] But bonus action, I'm going to cast magic weapon on my weapon to make it magical.

[01:11:01] Okay.

[01:11:03] So, like, I do some, like, rune stuff.

[01:11:06] Psh!

[01:11:06] Wow!

[01:11:08] Yeah.

[01:11:09] Yeah.

[01:11:10] All right.

[01:11:11] All right.

[01:11:11] Next up is, uh, Jacob.

[01:11:14] I'm going to dismount with my move action, probably, because I'm assuming we're not going

[01:11:18] to just...

[01:11:18] We're just going to plow through him, or are we going to stop, fight, and move on?

[01:11:21] Well, he's sharp.

[01:11:22] He's...

[01:11:22] On his turn...

[01:11:23] Well, he can stop, fight, and move on.

[01:11:26] Yeah, because, like, if I stay on your back, it might not...

[01:11:28] It'll hinder you?

[01:11:30] Not really.

[01:11:31] No?

[01:11:32] Like, you have to reel up an attack and stuff?

[01:11:35] I mean, you're the one who's got to hold on.

[01:11:37] Yeah, fair.

[01:11:40] All right.

[01:11:41] So...

[01:11:41] Okay.

[01:11:42] So, uh, I guess I'm, uh, running up to this guy.

[01:11:46] Yep.

[01:11:46] Um, and I'm going to, uh, I'm going to bite it with my teeth.

[01:11:52] All right.

[01:11:53] You bite it with your teeth.

[01:11:57] Dave, I need you to tell him what this is.

[01:11:59] This is why I close the door.

[01:12:01] Well, I can hear that that loud, and, like...

[01:12:04] I don't know.

[01:12:06] Is it actually a 20 again?

[01:12:09] God damn it is.

[01:12:10] All right.

[01:12:12] That 20.

[01:12:13] Dude, really good with those 20s.

[01:12:15] I like my top.

[01:12:17] It generally rolls really well for me.

[01:12:19] Yeah.

[01:12:19] It rolls really well with your pants, too.

[01:12:21] Thank you.

[01:12:24] Great with my shoes.

[01:12:25] Okay.

[01:12:26] So, my bite attack...

[01:12:28] Where is my phone?

[01:12:29] Because I don't know my bear stats very well.

[01:12:32] Because I don't, uh, I don't...

[01:12:33] I barely am a bear.

[01:12:35] Mm-hmm.

[01:12:36] I was going to go there if you were.

[01:12:38] Okay, so it's...

[01:12:39] I got to kill my bullets.

[01:12:41] What am I doing?

[01:12:42] I got to see that dumb guy that counts bullets.

[01:12:45] You're fine.

[01:12:46] Don't worry.

[01:12:47] Okay.

[01:12:47] Uh, so that's 7 plus 4 is 11 damage.

[01:12:52] Okay.

[01:12:52] From my Bitey Bitey.

[01:12:54] All right.

[01:12:56] But as a bear, I get multi-attack.

[01:12:58] Yeah.

[01:12:58] Yeah.

[01:12:59] So I'm going to...

[01:13:00] Oh, sorry.

[01:13:01] No, that's 27, 14 plus 4 is 18.

[01:13:06] It's 18 damage.

[01:13:07] Okay.

[01:13:08] Because I did not utilize my crit.

[01:13:14] Okay.

[01:13:14] And now I get my other shot.

[01:13:16] Oh, shit.

[01:13:16] My...

[01:13:17] What's up?

[01:13:17] What's up?

[01:13:18] Fuck, because I did roll a 6 on one of those.

[01:13:22] 15 plus 6.

[01:13:28] 21 hit?

[01:13:30] Uh, 21 will hit.

[01:13:31] Okay.

[01:13:32] So that's 2d6 plus 4.

[01:13:34] Dave, go ahead and roll it.

[01:13:35] Do you have that one?

[01:13:36] No.

[01:13:37] No.

[01:13:37] I need to learn.

[01:13:39] If I get pity re-rolls, I'll never learn.

[01:13:42] It's like with Rob.

[01:13:44] Yes.

[01:13:44] I have to cry about it.

[01:13:46] You have to be upset about it to remember to use him later.

[01:13:49] Exactly.

[01:13:49] I rolled a pair of 6s.

[01:13:50] He can be trumped.

[01:13:51] So that's 16 damage from my Klaus.

[01:13:54] Wow.

[01:13:55] Okay.

[01:13:56] Ow.

[01:13:59] This thing's just getting mauling this, son of a bitch.

[01:14:02] This thing's just getting wrecked.

[01:14:03] Alright, now let's turn.

[01:14:05] Mist him safe.

[01:14:08] 19 again?

[01:14:10] Okay.

[01:14:12] He still takes...

[01:14:13] He's very wise.

[01:14:15] 3...

[01:14:17] 9...

[01:14:18] And 7 is 16.

[01:14:20] So he takes 8 radiant damage from my horde of little pixie lancers.

[01:14:27] Alright.

[01:14:30] So he comes charging at you.

[01:14:32] He's like...

[01:14:35] And then you're like pixie things are like battering at it.

[01:14:38] And then you're just like...

[01:14:39] You see them just gouge out his eyes.

[01:14:41] It's like...

[01:14:42] For the b-lord!

[01:14:44] For the b-lord!

[01:14:45] Yeah, for the b-lord!

[01:14:47] Like stab into his eyes and...

[01:14:49] And it just like splashes him.

[01:14:52] And then you just like...

[01:14:54] Like skids toward you.

[01:14:55] And you just like...

[01:14:57] Put...

[01:14:57] Like knock it away.

[01:14:59] Okay.

[01:14:59] Nice.

[01:15:00] And it is...

[01:15:00] It is dead.

[01:15:02] Okay.

[01:15:02] When I'm done.

[01:15:04] But you still hear some more chittering off in the distance.

[01:15:07] But it's not approaching.

[01:15:09] Alright.

[01:15:10] Well then we're going to brazenly move forward.

[01:15:13] Okay.

[01:15:13] So you follow, I guess, on foot.

[01:15:16] Because you...

[01:15:17] Or did you get off the bear?

[01:15:18] Or did you get off the bear?

[01:15:19] I didn't have time to yet.

[01:15:20] Okay.

[01:15:20] So you're still on the bear.

[01:15:21] I was like...

[01:15:22] Yeah.

[01:15:23] Yeah.

[01:15:24] So you continue on.

[01:15:25] And a little bit farther down from the alcove where you rescued...

[01:15:30] I think his name was...

[01:15:32] What was his name?

[01:15:38] Fuck.

[01:15:38] I have his name.

[01:15:39] I do have his name here.

[01:15:40] Thankfully.

[01:15:43] The hell is his name?

[01:15:45] Hank.

[01:15:46] It wasn't Hank?

[01:15:46] I was going to say.

[01:15:47] I just remembered that.

[01:15:48] Where you rescued Hank.

[01:15:48] The alcove where you rescued Hank.

[01:15:49] You go a little bit farther down from there.

[01:15:52] And you see...

[01:15:52] Again, you find the bisected body of that former maintenance guy.

[01:15:57] And then a little bit further down from that, you see rubble clogging up the channel.

[01:16:03] The central channel of the brackish water and such.

[01:16:07] And yeah, there is a large gaping burrow in the side of the brick wall.

[01:16:15] Just exposed to regular earth and rock and bedrock.

[01:16:20] And there are about three smaller looking...

[01:16:25] They're still about the same size as the creatures you were fighting.

[01:16:29] But they're not as armored.

[01:16:32] They're not as heavily weaponized as the creatures you've been facing.

[01:16:37] They seem like...

[01:16:38] If those were the warrior cast, these things are the worker drones.

[01:16:42] And they appear to be putting things...

[01:16:46] Shoveling rubble away from the burrow.

[01:16:48] Getting it stabilized and stuff like that.

[01:16:51] And they see you guys and they chitter.

[01:16:52] And one of them backs away and starts skittering toward the tunnel itself.

[01:16:59] The other two reluctantly set up a...

[01:17:03] Get ready to defend their territory.

[01:17:07] I could switch my other gun to an M203 right now.

[01:17:11] I can't talk.

[01:17:13] I'm just saying I could.

[01:17:15] I could talk.

[01:17:20] So you need to lay out the plan.

[01:17:22] Because I can't tell you what my icons are.

[01:17:28] I mean, if we want to get in and out as fast as possible...

[01:17:31] That's tomorrow's move.

[01:17:32] At least to soften...

[01:17:34] Even if they don't die from the explosion...

[01:17:37] Then they're softened up.

[01:17:39] So I'll say...

[01:17:40] We'll keep the initiative from previous.

[01:17:41] But I'm going to roll there.

[01:17:42] The three...

[01:17:43] Because our initiatives were pretty good.

[01:17:57] Yeah, so you guys will probably be going...

[01:18:00] Dead last.

[01:18:04] You guys will actually be going first.

[01:18:08] Because...

[01:18:08] So the drone that's running...

[01:18:11] Drone 1, which is running into the tunnel...

[01:18:14] Seeming maybe to go...

[01:18:15] To go like...

[01:18:18] Call on more warrior cast or whatever.

[01:18:22] He's going...

[01:18:22] He's the quickest.

[01:18:23] He's running into the tunnel right now.

[01:18:24] But he can be intercepted or stopped.

[01:18:28] If you guys are fast enough.

[01:18:30] But then the other two are basically like...

[01:18:32] Blocking your way.

[01:18:33] They're about 30 feet ahead of the...

[01:18:35] Of that opening.

[01:18:37] I can see all of them though?

[01:18:38] Yeah, you can still see the...

[01:18:40] The one that's closest to the tunnel.

[01:18:41] Like he's about to like...

[01:18:43] Go in on this round.

[01:18:44] Do I see the opening to the tunnel?

[01:18:45] Like down it?

[01:18:47] Yeah, well you see like part...

[01:18:48] You see it like from an angle.

[01:18:50] You don't see...

[01:18:51] Yeah, the tunnel's not...

[01:18:52] The opening to the tunnel's not ahead of me.

[01:18:54] It's to the side.

[01:18:55] Yeah.

[01:18:55] Okay, gotcha.

[01:18:57] So...

[01:18:58] So...

[01:18:58] But yeah, John, you're up.

[01:19:00] Okay.

[01:19:00] So yeah, that one is...

[01:19:02] Like that one's running off to go...

[01:19:04] Maybe to go warn the hide for the colony.

[01:19:08] Okay.

[01:19:08] Well it's going to be loud regardless.

[01:19:11] So...

[01:19:13] Yeah, I'll just tell Jacob just...

[01:19:15] Whoa for a second.

[01:19:17] Just to get him to at least...

[01:19:19] Just stabilize for half a second.

[01:19:21] And...

[01:19:22] As I reach up to...

[01:19:25] Grab the M203 on my AR57.

[01:19:27] That's now suddenly in my hands.

[01:19:30] As I...

[01:19:31] Yeah.

[01:19:32] Flip the safety off and put a nade in the middle of three of them.

[01:19:36] Trying to at least soften them up.

[01:19:38] Noob tube.

[01:19:40] Noob tube.

[01:19:42] So don't forget to do your combo.

[01:19:44] So it's left, right, up, down, up, up.

[01:19:46] No, that's when I'm putting the hell bomb down.

[01:19:49] When I'm doing that.

[01:19:54] That's not bad.

[01:19:56] As we basically reenact sewer level part two.

[01:20:00] Pretty much.

[01:20:01] Yeah.

[01:20:01] Sewer level two.

[01:20:03] Sewer level two.

[01:20:04] Mm-hmm.

[01:20:06] So that's 23.

[01:20:08] Okay.

[01:20:09] To lob a nade in the...

[01:20:11] Electric sewer.

[01:20:11] To actually hit him?

[01:20:14] To hit the area around...

[01:20:18] I'm shooting into the middle of them.

[01:20:20] Into the middle of the group.

[01:20:22] Not to hit long that specific.

[01:20:23] I got you, yeah.

[01:20:23] Yeah.

[01:20:24] Okay.

[01:20:24] Yeah, so they're about 30 feet apart.

[01:20:27] There's two of them that are within like 10 feet of each other.

[01:20:29] And then the one that's closest to the tunnel is about 30 feet away from those guys.

[01:20:34] So...

[01:20:34] Are we trying to be quiet specifically?

[01:20:37] You don't know how close their tunnel...

[01:20:38] Like those tunnels...

[01:20:39] They could be like...

[01:20:40] Their colony, like any more of them could be farther...

[01:20:43] Like miles deeper into the tunnels.

[01:20:44] Or they could be like literally at that tunnel.

[01:20:46] You don't know how close their tunnel is.

[01:20:47] I don't think we were trying to be quiet because you came in screaming.

[01:20:50] I came in loud.

[01:20:51] Yeah.

[01:20:51] And I was shooting the G11 which is currently unsuppressed.

[01:20:54] So it's fine.

[01:20:55] Actually, while you're doing this...

[01:20:56] I mean...

[01:20:57] You can't actually tell him anything.

[01:20:58] But roll an arcana.

[01:21:00] To know something about a cop.

[01:21:02] So you know something else about a cop.

[01:21:04] I'll roll damage for the grenades.

[01:21:06] Oh right.

[01:21:07] It's arcana.

[01:21:08] So I actually have an advantage.

[01:21:12] 16 or a 7.

[01:21:13] And I'll take the 16.

[01:21:16] It's arcana.

[01:21:17] I have expertise.

[01:21:19] So that's 18.

[01:21:20] And 6.

[01:21:22] It is 24.

[01:21:25] Okay.

[01:21:26] So a cop have kind of a limited hidebind situation going on.

[01:21:30] Like it's not like...

[01:21:31] All right.

[01:21:32] Well, they've seen you.

[01:21:33] So now the entire colony has seen you.

[01:21:35] It's not the number that fast.

[01:21:37] Like that far.

[01:21:38] But they have basically...

[01:21:39] When they work in groups, they can be quite coordinated and deadly.

[01:21:42] So they're kind of like ants.

[01:21:43] Yeah.

[01:21:44] So they have kind of a localized area.

[01:21:45] So like...

[01:21:46] If that one gets farther and can get closer to the colony or something like that...

[01:21:52] It may be able to let them know.

[01:21:54] But if they are farther enough away from that breach...

[01:21:56] You guys might be in the clear of not setting off the entire colony to come after you.

[01:22:01] Okay.

[01:22:08] Doesn't matter.

[01:22:09] I can hold them off while you set the explosives.

[01:22:11] For sure.

[01:22:13] I wonder if damaging them would be better or a stun grenade.

[01:22:17] Because I do have stun grenades for it as well.

[01:22:21] Basically they do a con save.

[01:22:24] And if they fail, they're blinded death.

[01:22:28] What are you doing?

[01:22:29] Just contemplating stun or frag.

[01:22:33] Realistically a frag isn't like too dangerous down here.

[01:22:36] Specifically for like caving the place in.

[01:22:38] Because mainly just throwing shot and all around.

[01:22:40] Frag...

[01:22:40] Fuck it.

[01:22:40] Just down.

[01:22:41] Okay.

[01:22:41] Six, seven, eight, nine damage of piercing.

[01:22:45] Okay.

[01:22:45] As I go...

[01:22:48] And lava dootube in between them.

[01:22:50] And slap them.

[01:22:52] Would that affect all of them?

[01:22:53] I think they might have to do a save.

[01:22:57] It's probably a dex save for half.

[01:22:58] Probably.

[01:22:59] It's an AoE attack.

[01:23:00] Yeah.

[01:23:00] And it's basically fireball.

[01:23:03] Mundane fireball.

[01:23:07] Okay.

[01:23:08] Well I got 16, 16, seven on dexterity saves.

[01:23:13] Okay.

[01:23:13] So the seven takes full damage.

[01:23:15] Yeah.

[01:23:15] Also...

[01:23:16] Apparently it's fire damage.

[01:23:19] Yeah.

[01:23:20] Is apparently what it is?

[01:23:22] Yeah.

[01:23:22] Make it piercing.

[01:23:24] Yeah.

[01:23:24] Because like it's not incendiary.

[01:23:26] I would say...

[01:23:27] Yeah.

[01:23:27] Frag would be piercing and bludgeoning technically.

[01:23:30] Yeah.

[01:23:31] Or like force.

[01:23:32] Incendiary is fire.

[01:23:33] Well...

[01:23:33] It might also be force.

[01:23:34] Well...

[01:23:35] Yeah.

[01:23:35] Or thunder.

[01:23:36] I would go bludgeoning because it's like basically a concussion.

[01:23:39] Yeah.

[01:23:41] Either way.

[01:23:42] Yeah.

[01:23:43] So sorry.

[01:23:44] One of them takes the full damage.

[01:23:45] Okay.

[01:23:46] What was the full damage?

[01:23:48] Nine.

[01:23:48] Nine?

[01:23:49] Okay.

[01:23:50] Nine?

[01:23:51] Nine.

[01:23:54] And then the other two...

[01:23:55] The other one's going to take half?

[01:23:56] Yep.

[01:23:58] Nine, one by two.

[01:23:59] Four and a half.

[01:23:59] Yes.

[01:24:00] However you want to roll that.

[01:24:01] We'll go five.

[01:24:02] So they are...

[01:24:05] So...

[01:24:05] And that is technically an attack action, right?

[01:24:08] Mm-hmm.

[01:24:09] Yeah.

[01:24:09] Okay.

[01:24:09] So then I get another shot.

[01:24:11] You get another shot.

[01:24:14] Oh, you know what?

[01:24:15] Hang on.

[01:24:15] So I think it's your bonus action to reload it if it's a nuke tube.

[01:24:18] Oh, I could just shoot bullets.

[01:24:19] Oh, okay.

[01:24:20] But yeah.

[01:24:21] If I was on a...

[01:24:25] I don't know if it's a bonus action to reload it.

[01:24:27] I think there is a...

[01:24:33] Because if I was using the thumper archetype, which I don't, then I can reload it with a bonus

[01:24:39] action.

[01:24:40] Ah.

[01:24:40] So that's the quickened one.

[01:24:43] Oh.

[01:24:43] So it would be a, I guess, full action reloaded.

[01:24:46] An action.

[01:24:46] Yeah.

[01:24:47] Which I won't do.

[01:24:48] Okay.

[01:24:49] I'm just going to pick the guy in the middle, or the guy that looked like he was going to

[01:24:52] try to leave.

[01:24:53] Yeah, the farthest one.

[01:24:54] Yeah.

[01:24:54] Yep.

[01:24:55] And just put three shots on him and see if I can hit him.

[01:24:57] All right.

[01:24:57] Remember Volata.

[01:24:59] Yes, thank you.

[01:25:03] My gun jammed.

[01:25:04] Okay.

[01:25:05] Haven't used the AR-57 in a while.

[01:25:08] I go over and pull a first shot, and it just...

[01:25:10] Haven't cleaned it in a while?

[01:25:12] No.

[01:25:13] I was cleaning it.

[01:25:14] It went off.

[01:25:15] Yeah.

[01:25:15] You've been focusing too much on that glorious G-11.

[01:25:19] Yeah, the AR-57 felt betrayed by me.

[01:25:23] Yeah.

[01:25:23] I'm jealous.

[01:25:24] So it's like, you know what?

[01:25:25] I'm just not going to work now.

[01:25:26] Fuck you.

[01:25:27] Fuck you.

[01:25:29] All right, Jacob.

[01:25:30] Bear.

[01:25:31] There are two...

[01:25:33] At this point, I will get off of him, though.

[01:25:35] Yeah, man.

[01:25:36] I'll remove him to you.

[01:25:37] But yeah, there are two dronikab in front of you, like, standing their ground, though

[01:25:42] they clearly don't want to do this.

[01:25:44] They're clearly intimidated by the bear rushing them.

[01:25:47] All right.

[01:25:47] Where the hell...

[01:25:48] Like, if you could understand their cheering ways, it'd be like, where the fuck is the

[01:25:52] warriors?

[01:25:53] Okay.

[01:25:53] Okay.

[01:25:54] As I charge in, I need them to give me saves.

[01:25:59] Okay.

[01:26:01] By the way, there's still pizza for you.

[01:26:02] Do you want some?

[01:26:03] Yeah.

[01:26:03] I might try one of those, like, weird cupcakes.

[01:26:05] Pizza cupcake things.

[01:26:07] That's an anomaly.

[01:26:12] Wisdom saving throws.

[01:26:17] Twelve and six.

[01:26:19] Neither of those pass.

[01:26:21] So they both take full damage.

[01:26:22] Okay.

[01:26:23] What is it called?

[01:26:24] The label says Pupuffs on it.

[01:26:28] Pupuffs?

[01:26:30] Says.

[01:26:31] 60% of the round.

[01:26:33] 60%.

[01:26:33] I think it is short for, like, pizza puffs.

[01:26:36] I'll just call them Pupuffs, though.

[01:26:38] All right.

[01:26:39] So my two squads of...

[01:26:42] Or my little fae dragoons form into two squads in V formation and pelt themselves upon these

[01:26:54] guys for 16 radiant damage.

[01:27:02] As they just come, charge for the B-lord!

[01:27:06] Show badass!

[01:27:08] 16.

[01:27:09] Damage for the two that are defending?

[01:27:12] All right.

[01:27:18] Wow.

[01:27:19] That one is just, like, mauled.

[01:27:22] He is not looking good at all.

[01:27:23] He's on death's door.

[01:27:25] The other one is hanging in there.

[01:27:28] Which one is on death's door?

[01:27:30] One of them.

[01:27:31] One on the left.

[01:27:33] One on the left.

[01:27:34] That was defending.

[01:27:34] Like, the one on the right is not much better, but is better off.

[01:27:39] The one on the left is the one that I'm going after with my bite.

[01:27:43] All right.

[01:27:44] Ooh, that's not super great.

[01:27:47] Does a 14 hit?

[01:27:54] Yes.

[01:27:54] That's where the TV upstairs.

[01:27:55] Someone go, fuck!

[01:27:58] Fuck!

[01:28:02] That was the Aqab.

[01:28:04] Mm-hmm.

[01:28:07] Seven and four is 11?

[01:28:09] Yes, 11.

[01:28:10] 11 damage.

[01:28:11] How'd he go?

[01:28:12] Okay.

[01:28:12] Well, I bite his head right off and throw it at his buddy.

[01:28:15] Mm-hmm.

[01:28:16] That's worth money, though.

[01:28:18] Well, it's a distractionary technique.

[01:28:20] You actually need to look around.

[01:28:21] Because immediately after the head is coming one of my paws.

[01:28:24] Nice.

[01:28:26] Actually, also, while you're doing that, as you go off the offer and look around, you'll

[01:28:30] know that they were actually also cleaning up the dead of the ones that you guys killed.

[01:28:34] So the five bodies that you have, they're actually bringing them back to the burrow.

[01:28:38] Okay.

[01:28:39] How big's a duffel bag?

[01:28:40] Could I theoretically put multiple heads in there?

[01:28:43] They're like grizzly bear-sized heads.

[01:28:46] How would we even carry these back?

[01:28:47] No, they're like heads of grizzly bears.

[01:28:49] Like big.

[01:28:50] They're like honking things.

[01:28:51] Big honk?

[01:28:52] Yeah.

[01:28:53] Okay.

[01:28:54] For the second one, does a 19 hit?

[01:28:57] 19 will hit, yeah.

[01:28:58] Okay.

[01:28:59] I guess it's more like a horse head.

[01:29:00] Still, it's large.

[01:29:04] Oof.

[01:29:06] So that's three plus four is seven.

[01:29:09] How'd it go?

[01:29:11] Okay.

[01:29:12] So he gets hit in the face by his buddy's face.

[01:29:16] And then as soon as he recovers from that, all he sees is a paw.

[01:29:20] The palm of a paw comes smashing down.

[01:29:24] Decapitation!

[01:29:25] Does he just like decapitate him too?

[01:29:30] Yes.

[01:29:31] I knock his block off.

[01:29:33] Yes.

[01:29:34] Alright, so they are both dead.

[01:29:35] They just like splash into like with purple ichor and some of that into the water.

[01:29:40] Into the gray water.

[01:29:41] Do they bleed purple?

[01:29:42] Yeah.

[01:29:43] They're aliens.

[01:29:43] I'm just curious.

[01:29:44] They're like eldritch alien creatures.

[01:29:45] They're probably bleed purple.

[01:29:48] And then I'll look at him and say,

[01:29:50] Roar.

[01:29:51] Yeah.

[01:29:53] Or like,

[01:29:55] That like huff that bears something to do with their,

[01:29:58] with the good of them.

[01:30:00] But there's still one more drone.

[01:30:02] And he is fleeing.

[01:30:03] He's like,

[01:30:04] like,

[01:30:05] So yeah,

[01:30:06] he is,

[01:30:06] he is running.

[01:30:08] Running.

[01:30:09] He is 30 feet away from you guys,

[01:30:10] so he's not within attack of opportunity.

[01:30:12] And he is just fleeing down that tunnel.

[01:30:15] Okay.

[01:30:16] So,

[01:30:17] top of the round.

[01:30:18] He's got about a 40,

[01:30:19] 50 feet,

[01:30:21] I guess at this point he's about 70 feet away from you guys.

[01:30:23] Okay.

[01:30:25] So,

[01:30:25] top of the round.

[01:30:27] John.

[01:30:28] That would be me.

[01:30:30] So,

[01:30:30] is he in the hole?

[01:30:32] Yeah,

[01:30:32] he has cleared your view,

[01:30:34] and he is,

[01:30:35] you can hear him slowly going,

[01:30:36] like disappearing down the tunnel.

[01:30:38] Okay,

[01:30:38] so I'm going to move maximum up to 30 feet.

[01:30:42] Are you not still on my back?

[01:30:43] No,

[01:30:44] I jumped off.

[01:30:44] Okay.

[01:30:45] I assumed that you were going to be in melee for a while,

[01:30:47] slapping guys while I stayed back shooting things.

[01:30:49] Well,

[01:30:49] not for a while.

[01:30:50] It was very short.

[01:30:52] It was.

[01:30:52] I assumed it may have been a while.

[01:30:55] But,

[01:30:56] yes,

[01:30:56] so I'm moving along the side wall,

[01:30:59] trying to get line of sight on the hole.

[01:31:01] Yeah,

[01:31:01] you get to the hole,

[01:31:02] to the large burrow.

[01:31:03] The burrow is basically like,

[01:31:05] roof to,

[01:31:05] like,

[01:31:05] it's a little bit above the waterline,

[01:31:09] but it goes all the way up to the roof of the sewer.

[01:31:12] So,

[01:31:13] it's probably about like,

[01:31:14] eight feet high,

[01:31:15] and about ten feet,

[01:31:16] or probably eight feet high,

[01:31:17] and about probably about six feet across,

[01:31:19] this opening.

[01:31:20] And you look down,

[01:31:21] or you look down the hole,

[01:31:22] and you see this thing just like,

[01:31:24] skittering away,

[01:31:25] like 40 feet away,

[01:31:26] 40 feet down the hole.

[01:31:27] And it's just going deeper and deeper into the darkness.

[01:31:30] You do see some kind of bioluminescent,

[01:31:32] like,

[01:31:33] biomatter.

[01:31:34] Like,

[01:31:34] they've like,

[01:31:34] smeared across,

[01:31:35] like,

[01:31:36] some of the walls,

[01:31:36] like resin.

[01:31:37] It kind of brings to mind the xenomorph resin,

[01:31:39] like,

[01:31:40] tunnels that they,

[01:31:41] in the movie Aliens,

[01:31:42] like,

[01:31:43] where they,

[01:31:43] like,

[01:31:43] make their own,

[01:31:44] like,

[01:31:44] kind of,

[01:31:45] hive,

[01:31:47] like,

[01:31:47] out of their own,

[01:31:48] like,

[01:31:48] kind of,

[01:31:49] organic biomass.

[01:31:52] Okay.

[01:31:52] Everything about the Akav kind of seems like they're,

[01:31:54] they're from another world.

[01:31:56] Mm-hmm.

[01:31:57] But yeah,

[01:31:57] this thing's just,

[01:31:58] like,

[01:31:58] skittering away with its,

[01:31:59] like,

[01:31:59] with its,

[01:32:00] uh,

[01:32:00] its,

[01:32:01] uh,

[01:32:01] thorax between its legs.

[01:32:04] Okay.

[01:32:05] Um,

[01:32:06] well,

[01:32:06] if I have line of sight,

[01:32:07] I'm just gonna see if I can't just take him the fuck out.

[01:32:09] Okay.

[01:32:10] So,

[01:32:10] I'm going to,

[01:32:11] um,

[01:32:12] aim,

[01:32:13] I'm gonna bring my AR-57 up,

[01:32:16] but as I'm doing that,

[01:32:17] I'm running my hand over top of it,

[01:32:19] and as my hand passes it,

[01:32:21] underneath it,

[01:32:21] it reels,

[01:32:22] it's the G11 again.

[01:32:23] So I don't have to waste time reloading,

[01:32:25] because I can just swap between them like that.

[01:32:26] Um,

[01:32:28] and I'll take a knee and see if I can put six shots up his ass.

[01:32:32] All right,

[01:32:32] Tevo.

[01:32:33] You really need that,

[01:32:34] uh,

[01:32:34] that like,

[01:32:37] can't read.

[01:32:38] Yeah.

[01:32:39] That segmenting,

[01:32:40] uh,

[01:32:41] it's the coolest fucking helmet.

[01:32:43] Maybe,

[01:32:43] maybe the Academy has one of those helmets.

[01:32:46] Why do I need that?

[01:32:47] I mean,

[01:32:47] I'll take it,

[01:32:48] but,

[01:32:49] because it also fits with me attempting to,

[01:32:52] like,

[01:32:52] hide shit on me in plain sight.

[01:32:55] Mm-hmm.

[01:32:56] You'll be like,

[01:32:56] oh shit,

[01:32:57] there's combat.

[01:32:57] Shit!

[01:32:59] Regardless,

[01:33:00] shooting bullets.

[01:33:02] Don't you fucking jam!

[01:33:04] Okay,

[01:33:05] that's good.

[01:33:08] Uh,

[01:33:08] 21?

[01:33:09] That would,

[01:33:10] you basically got,

[01:33:11] if you were to turn that,

[01:33:13] or turn that around,

[01:33:14] you'd get basically his,

[01:33:15] his hit.

[01:33:16] Nice.

[01:33:16] I'm just gonna roll the second shot now.

[01:33:18] Nat 20.

[01:33:19] Yeah.

[01:33:20] Uh,

[01:33:20] Nat 20 in second shot.

[01:33:22] Oh.

[01:33:22] So he's gonna die.

[01:33:24] Very possible,

[01:33:25] unless I roll very,

[01:33:26] very poorly,

[01:33:27] which I could do.

[01:33:28] Remember ball top.

[01:33:29] Remember ball top.

[01:33:30] I was just about to say,

[01:33:31] remember your ball top.

[01:33:32] Yep,

[01:33:32] I am.

[01:33:33] You're such an angry man.

[01:33:34] I,

[01:33:35] yeah,

[01:33:35] I am,

[01:33:35] I mean,

[01:33:37] that's just the way it is.

[01:33:38] I know.

[01:33:39] I have such a,

[01:33:40] such a temper.

[01:33:41] Yeah,

[01:33:41] it's,

[01:33:41] I can't keep it contained.

[01:33:43] I don't know.

[01:33:43] Are you Italian or what?

[01:33:45] Sure.

[01:33:48] There's actually an intervention

[01:33:49] to anger management.

[01:33:50] Yeah.

[01:33:53] Okay,

[01:33:54] so that is,

[01:33:55] um,

[01:33:55] I love that you're rolling

[01:33:56] your homemade bullet dice.

[01:33:58] I'm shooting bullets.

[01:33:59] I know.

[01:34:00] Yeah,

[01:34:00] I appreciate that.

[01:34:01] So that is,

[01:34:02] um,

[01:34:03] I accept you.

[01:34:04] Well,

[01:34:05] for me.

[01:34:06] Um,

[01:34:07] sorry.

[01:34:09] That's 11 damage

[01:34:10] on the first,

[01:34:11] uh,

[01:34:12] salvo of,

[01:34:13] that's 11 magical damage,

[01:34:14] actually.

[01:34:15] Okay.

[01:34:15] Is that volatile?

[01:34:16] Like,

[01:34:16] no.

[01:34:17] Okay.

[01:34:18] So there's 11.

[01:34:19] And then the crit one,

[01:34:21] whoops.

[01:34:23] I like these because I could roll them just like,

[01:34:26] roll them like that.

[01:34:27] Nice.

[01:34:27] Nice.

[01:34:28] I rolled the same fucking thing.

[01:34:29] Uh,

[01:34:30] remember you get to roll twice.

[01:34:32] On crit?

[01:34:33] Oh,

[01:34:34] you can,

[01:34:34] sorry,

[01:34:35] you can double the number or you can,

[01:34:36] uh,

[01:34:37] or you can roll twice as many dice.

[01:34:38] It's up to you.

[01:34:39] Yeah.

[01:34:40] Yeah.

[01:34:40] I've already rolled these.

[01:34:41] It's fine.

[01:34:41] Though if you're,

[01:34:42] if you're shooting a gun,

[01:34:43] it actually makes more sense to roll twice because volatile.

[01:34:48] You're right.

[01:34:48] But these could be ones.

[01:34:50] They could be.

[01:34:53] That's a one.

[01:34:54] No,

[01:34:54] but that was a four.

[01:34:55] But that was a four.

[01:34:56] So it's slightly worse overall.

[01:35:00] Thanks,

[01:35:00] Aaron.

[01:35:01] It makes sense.

[01:35:02] I know.

[01:35:04] Um,

[01:35:04] so that's,

[01:35:05] um,

[01:35:08] that's 11.

[01:35:09] Was that,

[01:35:09] was it 11 the first time too?

[01:35:11] Yeah.

[01:35:11] The crit was also 11.

[01:35:12] How is that possible?

[01:35:13] No,

[01:35:14] sorry.

[01:35:14] That's 11 without my modifiers.

[01:35:16] 11,

[01:35:16] um,

[01:35:17] 15,

[01:35:17] 16,

[01:35:18] uh,

[01:35:20] yeah,

[01:35:20] 16 magical damage on that one.

[01:35:22] Okay,

[01:35:22] so how do you kill him?

[01:35:23] Like,

[01:35:23] what does it look like?

[01:35:24] Okay,

[01:35:25] so he's,

[01:35:25] um,

[01:35:25] skittering down this hole.

[01:35:26] He's just basically like skittering away,

[01:35:27] like,

[01:35:27] like,

[01:35:28] not like,

[01:35:28] just like trying to get,

[01:35:29] like,

[01:35:30] beelining,

[01:35:31] but then,

[01:35:31] um,

[01:35:33] down this tunnel,

[01:35:33] trying to get to the colony.

[01:35:34] Okay.

[01:35:35] Or to get,

[01:35:35] get aid.

[01:35:36] Um,

[01:35:37] so like,

[01:35:37] how do you finish him off with it as he's like,

[01:35:39] as you basically shoot him in the back?

[01:35:41] Yep.

[01:35:41] So the,

[01:35:42] the first few rounds that come out,

[01:35:44] um,

[01:35:45] the first one,

[01:35:46] like,

[01:35:46] skips past him and hits the,

[01:35:47] the wall,

[01:35:48] but the,

[01:35:48] the other two,

[01:35:49] like,

[01:35:49] one of them hits him in the leg,

[01:35:51] one of them hits him in the,

[01:35:51] like,

[01:35:52] thorax.

[01:35:52] Does he have thorax?

[01:35:53] Yeah,

[01:35:53] they're insectoid.

[01:35:54] Yeah.

[01:35:55] One of them hits him in the leg,

[01:35:56] one of them hits him in the thorax,

[01:35:57] which like,

[01:35:58] stumbles him and slows him down.

[01:36:00] Um,

[01:36:01] and then,

[01:36:01] uh,

[01:36:02] the second burst of three shots,

[01:36:04] I just walk him up his back,

[01:36:05] like,

[01:36:06] another in the,

[01:36:08] um,

[01:36:08] in the thorax,

[01:36:09] one right in the back,

[01:36:10] and then the last one just goes right through the back of his head.

[01:36:12] Nice.

[01:36:13] And just splaps.

[01:36:13] Yeah,

[01:36:14] he just,

[01:36:14] like,

[01:36:15] skids and slides a couple more feet down,

[01:36:17] but then,

[01:36:17] like,

[01:36:17] stops.

[01:36:18] Mm-hmm.

[01:36:19] Yeah.

[01:36:20] And you guys,

[01:36:20] like,

[01:36:21] you're,

[01:36:21] like,

[01:36:21] listening,

[01:36:21] it's like,

[01:36:22] you don't hear anything.

[01:36:24] Like,

[01:36:24] you do hear some cheering,

[01:36:26] but it's,

[01:36:27] like,

[01:36:27] so far,

[01:36:28] like,

[01:36:28] it sounds like it's so far away down these huttles.

[01:36:31] Like,

[01:36:31] it's nowhere near you guys.

[01:36:32] Okay.

[01:36:33] And you're,

[01:36:33] like,

[01:36:34] okay.

[01:36:35] We're fine right now,

[01:36:36] but let's keep going.

[01:36:37] Also,

[01:36:37] if you want a piece of that guy to get,

[01:36:39] to get bounty,

[01:36:40] you're going to go.

[01:36:41] I don't know.

[01:36:41] How far away is he?

[01:36:42] He's like,

[01:36:43] he was,

[01:36:44] he's about 50 feet down the,

[01:36:45] down the tunnel.

[01:36:46] I'd rather get out of here than get this one worker.

[01:36:49] Fair.

[01:36:49] Okay.

[01:36:50] Sorry.

[01:36:51] Roar.

[01:36:54] We need to get you to,

[01:36:55] like,

[01:36:55] learn hand signals.

[01:36:57] I don't have opposable thumbs.

[01:36:59] Again,

[01:36:59] maybe,

[01:37:00] maybe the magic school has,

[01:37:01] like,

[01:37:01] a neck,

[01:37:02] like,

[01:37:02] a collar of,

[01:37:03] of,

[01:37:04] of,

[01:37:05] a collar of understanding.

[01:37:06] Yeah,

[01:37:07] it looks like,

[01:37:07] um,

[01:37:08] it looks like a red tie.

[01:37:09] Yeah.

[01:37:10] With a,

[01:37:10] with a white collar on it.

[01:37:11] Hey you,

[01:37:11] hey you,

[01:37:12] hey you,

[01:37:15] John Deere.

[01:37:16] I want to know those picnic baskets.

[01:37:21] That's just the way your accent comes through the back.

[01:37:23] It's just a,

[01:37:24] oh,

[01:37:24] fuck,

[01:37:24] bud.

[01:37:25] Oh,

[01:37:26] fuck,

[01:37:26] bud.

[01:37:27] That sounded like native Canadian.

[01:37:29] Yeah.

[01:37:30] Yeah,

[01:37:30] kind of.

[01:37:36] Uh,

[01:37:37] should we attempt to rip off some stuff from the other cob heads out here to claim them?

[01:37:43] Yeah,

[01:37:43] you guys just need,

[01:37:44] like,

[01:37:44] a mandible,

[01:37:44] like,

[01:37:45] a mandible that looks like it belongs to,

[01:37:48] also,

[01:37:48] you guys have cameras.

[01:37:49] Snap shot,

[01:37:50] snap shot,

[01:37:50] snap shot,

[01:37:51] snap shot,

[01:37:51] and then take some mandibles just as,

[01:37:53] like,

[01:37:54] here's the flesh proof,

[01:37:55] and here's,

[01:37:55] yes,

[01:37:56] these all came from,

[01:37:56] like,

[01:37:57] different ones.

[01:37:58] Okay,

[01:37:59] then yeah.

[01:37:59] Um,

[01:38:00] I will say,

[01:38:00] like,

[01:38:01] to,

[01:38:01] uh,

[01:38:02] if you want to do that while he's setting up the,

[01:38:04] I don't think he's going to take pictures very well.

[01:38:07] Okay,

[01:38:07] you're not turning back into a human?

[01:38:09] Uh,

[01:38:09] no,

[01:38:09] I'm going to stay as a bear.

[01:38:11] Okay.

[01:38:11] But I will line all of the bodies up together.

[01:38:14] Okay.

[01:38:15] So that he can take one picture and get them all in it.

[01:38:18] Nice.

[01:38:18] Yeah.

[01:38:19] All right,

[01:38:19] so that'll be like,

[01:38:20] yeah,

[01:38:20] so you,

[01:38:21] uh,

[01:38:21] it takes about,

[01:38:21] like,

[01:38:22] five minutes for you to,

[01:38:23] like,

[01:38:23] grab,

[01:38:23] because,

[01:38:24] uh,

[01:38:24] there's,

[01:38:24] like,

[01:38:24] there are the original five that you do find,

[01:38:26] like,

[01:38:26] luckily,

[01:38:27] these drones seem to have been,

[01:38:28] like,

[01:38:28] collecting those bodies as well to bring back down to the hive

[01:38:31] or calling or wherever they are.

[01:38:32] Um,

[01:38:33] and they,

[01:38:34] so you manage to,

[01:38:34] like,

[01:38:34] stack those ones,

[01:38:35] and then,

[01:38:35] like,

[01:38:36] then there's the other,

[01:38:37] uh,

[01:38:38] three,

[01:38:39] um,

[01:38:39] because you're not going after the one that's down the top.

[01:38:41] Mm-hmm.

[01:38:41] Um,

[01:38:42] so you have about,

[01:38:43] so you have a total of eight,

[01:38:44] a cob,

[01:38:46] um,

[01:38:46] six warriors,

[01:38:47] six warrior cast,

[01:38:48] and,

[01:38:49] and two drone cast,

[01:38:51] um,

[01:38:51] or worker cast.

[01:38:53] Mm-hmm.

[01:38:53] And,

[01:38:53] um,

[01:38:54] you,

[01:38:54] you,

[01:38:55] uh,

[01:38:55] take a photo of that.

[01:38:57] Mm-hmm.

[01:38:58] As he's spending the few minutes hooking that up,

[01:39:00] I'm going to be opening up the duffel bag,

[01:39:02] and,

[01:39:03] like,

[01:39:03] finding a good spot to put the Z4.

[01:39:05] Roll me the explosives.

[01:39:06] Uh,

[01:39:07] uh,

[01:39:07] it'll be,

[01:39:08] um,

[01:39:10] your proficiency,

[01:39:12] um,

[01:39:13] with,

[01:39:13] I guess,

[01:39:13] an intelligence?

[01:39:16] Great.

[01:39:18] I love those rules.

[01:39:18] to,

[01:39:18] to,

[01:39:18] like,

[01:39:19] figure out where to properly set up the,

[01:39:21] the,

[01:39:21] the,

[01:39:22] the,

[01:39:22] uh,

[01:39:22] the bombs,

[01:39:23] or the Z4.

[01:39:25] Just make sure.

[01:39:27] Without setting off,

[01:39:28] like,

[01:39:28] a low bearing,

[01:39:29] a load bearing,

[01:39:30] uh,

[01:39:32] section of the,

[01:39:32] of the,

[01:39:33] uh,

[01:39:33] the sewer.

[01:39:33] Even if it does,

[01:39:34] and whatever.

[01:39:35] Make sure it's nice and level.

[01:39:37] Need a proper roll here.

[01:39:38] All right.

[01:39:42] And now he's getting ready to roll the bag.

[01:39:45] Fuck me now.

[01:39:47] That's not bad.

[01:39:48] Um,

[01:39:49] yeah.

[01:39:51] Total of,

[01:39:52] um,

[01:39:53] 17?

[01:39:54] Cause he's having a good roll.

[01:39:56] Having a good roll.

[01:39:57] I did have a good roll for once.

[01:39:59] Yeah,

[01:39:59] so that was 17 roll?

[01:40:00] Yes.

[01:40:00] Okay.

[01:40:01] Uh,

[01:40:01] total of 17.

[01:40:02] Oh,

[01:40:02] total of 17.

[01:40:03] Yes.

[01:40:03] Okay,

[01:40:03] yeah.

[01:40:04] Yeah,

[01:40:04] you're like,

[01:40:04] you're like,

[01:40:05] all right,

[01:40:05] I think here,

[01:40:06] here,

[01:40:08] here,

[01:40:08] no,

[01:40:08] up there.

[01:40:10] That's a load bearing,

[01:40:11] uh,

[01:40:12] that looks like a load bearing beam exposed.

[01:40:13] I don't want that.

[01:40:14] Yeah.

[01:40:15] Uh,

[01:40:15] you put basically,

[01:40:16] like you,

[01:40:16] you managed to set up,

[01:40:17] you're pretty confident.

[01:40:19] Um,

[01:40:19] though just to be safe,

[01:40:20] you may want to like set a timer and then run.

[01:40:22] Yeah,

[01:40:23] for sure.

[01:40:24] Um,

[01:40:25] yeah,

[01:40:25] after taking the picture and all that,

[01:40:27] I'm going up to the bomb and going,

[01:40:31] like putting the strategy combo.

[01:40:33] Yeah.

[01:40:33] Yeah.

[01:40:34] Yeah.

[01:40:34] To get the timer going.

[01:40:36] It's weird.

[01:40:37] This is like,

[01:40:37] why do they build this?

[01:40:38] Like,

[01:40:38] like,

[01:40:39] yeah,

[01:40:39] like that.

[01:40:39] It's very strange.

[01:40:41] Yeah.

[01:40:41] Uh,

[01:40:42] all right.

[01:40:42] And then,

[01:40:42] um,

[01:40:44] yeah,

[01:40:44] you guys grab,

[01:40:44] are you also grabbing some,

[01:40:46] some parts on top of the photos from the cop?

[01:40:49] Uh,

[01:40:49] if we're doing that,

[01:40:50] I'm doing that before the timer.

[01:40:53] Obviously.

[01:40:54] Yeah.

[01:40:55] Um,

[01:40:55] yeah.

[01:40:55] How easily can you smash a skull to just make bits?

[01:41:00] So you just cut,

[01:41:01] just,

[01:41:02] yeah,

[01:41:02] you just need to tear off some mandibles.

[01:41:03] Yeah.

[01:41:04] Or tentacles or whatever.

[01:41:05] I'm just going to go put a paw on one.

[01:41:07] Mm-hmm.

[01:41:08] And then stand all of my weight on it.

[01:41:11] Yeah.

[01:41:11] Okay,

[01:41:12] so by the end,

[01:41:13] you have basically a,

[01:41:14] like,

[01:41:14] like a little packet of,

[01:41:16] of what looked like at first really chubby rat tails,

[01:41:19] but they're really just the,

[01:41:20] the,

[01:41:20] the,

[01:41:21] the,

[01:41:21] the face tentacles.

[01:41:23] Like from,

[01:41:23] from one,

[01:41:24] from one of each of the creatures.

[01:41:26] Okay.

[01:41:26] And I'm putting them all in the duffel bag that the C4 came in.

[01:41:28] Yeah.

[01:41:29] Yeah.

[01:41:29] Okay.

[01:41:29] Slang that on my back,

[01:41:31] put the stratagem combo in.

[01:41:32] All right,

[01:41:33] we got two minutes.

[01:41:34] Let's get out of here.

[01:41:36] Okay.

[01:41:36] All right.

[01:41:36] Yeah.

[01:41:37] And you guys start running,

[01:41:38] um,

[01:41:39] like quick and pace,

[01:41:40] uh,

[01:41:41] takes you,

[01:41:41] but by the time you guys are getting up onto the ladder,

[01:41:43] like getting to the ladder and stuff like that,

[01:41:45] you then hear the,

[01:41:48] and like,

[01:41:49] there's like a woof of,

[01:41:50] of air as the,

[01:41:51] as like it comes straight down the,

[01:41:54] the,

[01:41:54] um,

[01:41:55] down the sewer.

[01:41:56] In fact,

[01:41:56] it smells real good.

[01:41:58] Well,

[01:41:58] in fact,

[01:41:58] you're also pretty sure you hear like,

[01:42:00] like,

[01:42:04] as manhole covers from there,

[01:42:06] from here to there,

[01:42:07] just go like,

[01:42:08] got popped up a bit and it fell back down.

[01:42:11] Yeah.

[01:42:12] Um,

[01:42:13] but yeah,

[01:42:14] you're pretty sure it's like,

[01:42:16] uh,

[01:42:16] it's sealed.

[01:42:17] Like you're,

[01:42:18] you're pretty confident it's sealed.

[01:42:19] It's probably fine.

[01:42:20] They went off.

[01:42:20] Yeah.

[01:42:21] It went off and it didn't,

[01:42:22] you didn't hear any like,

[01:42:23] uh,

[01:42:24] like aftershock collapses or anything like that.

[01:42:26] So you're,

[01:42:27] you're pretty confident you've collapsed there,

[01:42:29] that,

[01:42:29] that,

[01:42:29] that breach.

[01:42:30] Okay.

[01:42:31] Uh,

[01:42:31] but yeah,

[01:42:32] you,

[01:42:32] uh,

[01:42:32] then get back up into the sewer or get back out of the sewer,

[01:42:35] climb back up the ladder.

[01:42:36] Yeah.

[01:42:36] Are you going to bear up the ladder?

[01:42:38] Uh,

[01:42:39] yes.

[01:42:41] Yes.

[01:42:41] You're going to stay as a bear up top.

[01:42:42] Um,

[01:42:43] no,

[01:42:44] as I'm coming up the ladder,

[01:42:45] I want to time it so that as the dust,

[01:42:49] the dust cloud comes rolling up and past me,

[01:42:54] I can climb out it as a person.

[01:42:58] There you go.

[01:42:58] As water jet streams up,

[01:43:01] gray water jet streams up.

[01:43:04] It's okay.

[01:43:05] It doesn't get us wet.

[01:43:06] We have a water walk going.

[01:43:07] So that actually like,

[01:43:09] like,

[01:43:09] like cause it's your whole body.

[01:43:11] I don't know.

[01:43:12] Yeah.

[01:43:12] Whatever.

[01:43:13] It's for freestanding water.

[01:43:14] That's not freestanding.

[01:43:15] No,

[01:43:16] it's spray.

[01:43:17] Yeah.

[01:43:17] Gray water and salt water spray.

[01:43:19] Anyway,

[01:43:20] you get,

[01:43:20] you get up.

[01:43:21] Um,

[01:43:21] and yeah,

[01:43:22] like through the,

[01:43:22] uh,

[01:43:23] the mist you,

[01:43:24] you come through as a human.

[01:43:26] Well,

[01:43:27] that was easy.

[01:43:27] Hell yeah.

[01:43:28] People,

[01:43:28] people are like a couple of people down the road,

[01:43:30] like certain on either side of the road.

[01:43:31] So they're like looking cause like,

[01:43:32] it looks like manhole covers were just like thrown off the,

[01:43:35] the holes like down the strip,

[01:43:37] down the street.

[01:43:38] Yeah.

[01:43:39] and there's a couple ended right back on.

[01:43:41] You also price pretty sure.

[01:43:42] Yeah.

[01:43:42] You also hear some car alarms going off from the force of it and such.

[01:43:48] Um,

[01:43:50] and,

[01:43:51] uh,

[01:43:51] if anyone is like looking at us,

[01:43:54] is anyone looking at us actually?

[01:43:56] No,

[01:43:56] people are just more like,

[01:43:57] they're more in shock at like everything else,

[01:43:59] like at the,

[01:43:59] at the,

[01:44:00] uh,

[01:44:01] the,

[01:44:01] um,

[01:44:01] the blasts and so that.

[01:44:02] Yeah.

[01:44:03] Okay,

[01:44:03] cool.

[01:44:03] I'm going to stop concentrating on my spirit guardians.

[01:44:06] Okay.

[01:44:07] And,

[01:44:07] uh,

[01:44:08] yeah,

[01:44:08] forget to stop.

[01:44:09] If you forget to do that,

[01:44:10] we're just walking through the street and random passerby.

[01:44:15] Yeah.

[01:44:16] Yeah.

[01:44:17] Yeah.

[01:44:17] Because I can only detonate people that doesn't defend.

[01:44:21] Yeah.

[01:44:21] When I cast the spell.

[01:44:22] Yeah.

[01:44:23] They're just shaking.

[01:44:24] Your own like,

[01:44:26] like entourage of fairy assassins.

[01:44:29] Pretty much.

[01:44:31] Are they visible too?

[01:44:32] They are visible.

[01:44:33] Yeah.

[01:44:34] Yeah.

[01:44:34] They're all little canaries.

[01:44:36] It's like,

[01:44:36] ah.

[01:44:38] They're very aggressive.

[01:44:41] Just kill anyone in this radius.

[01:44:43] I don't care who it is.

[01:44:44] They must die.

[01:44:45] What about you?

[01:44:46] It's like,

[01:44:46] oh no.

[01:44:46] Just not him.

[01:44:47] That's basically all it says.

[01:44:49] Oh my God.

[01:44:52] Ah,

[01:44:52] it's a silly place.

[01:44:54] It is.

[01:44:54] I am also just picturing like basically,

[01:44:56] the scene where like Thor is running against,

[01:44:59] uh,

[01:44:59] gore in like Thor,

[01:45:00] uh,

[01:45:01] Love and Thunder with all the little children who are all powered with the power of Thor.

[01:45:05] Yeah.

[01:45:05] It's like that.

[01:45:07] As they're fighting like monsters.

[01:45:08] They're the monsters people.

[01:45:10] It's like,

[01:45:10] oh,

[01:45:11] it's a title.

[01:45:12] Yeah.

[01:45:13] Anyway.

[01:45:14] Uh,

[01:45:15] but that didn't happen.

[01:45:16] No,

[01:45:16] unfortunately.

[01:45:17] And yeah,

[01:45:18] you guys get on your bikes and head over to,

[01:45:20] or head back down the road,

[01:45:21] uh,

[01:45:21] out of Kingsmith and,

[01:45:23] to,

[01:45:23] uh,

[01:45:23] Innsmouth Academy.

[01:45:24] Yep.

[01:45:25] Okay.

[01:45:26] So we smash cut.

[01:45:27] Uh,

[01:45:27] you're now on the Savage Coast and,

[01:45:30] at Innsmouth Academy and,

[01:45:32] in front of,

[01:45:32] with Montag and Usher.

[01:45:34] And it's like,

[01:45:35] I hate his music.

[01:45:37] Her.

[01:45:37] Oh.

[01:45:38] Isn't Usher like a rapper or something?

[01:45:40] Yes,

[01:45:40] but Miss Usher,

[01:45:41] Miss Usher is the,

[01:45:43] it's her last name.

[01:45:44] Yes.

[01:45:45] yeah,

[01:45:46] so they're,

[01:45:46] they're like,

[01:45:48] well,

[01:45:48] thank you again,

[01:45:49] uh,

[01:45:49] Jacob and,

[01:45:51] Mr.

[01:45:51] dear.

[01:45:52] Um,

[01:45:55] this whole,

[01:45:57] well,

[01:45:57] fortunately,

[01:45:57] hopefully we'll be able to,

[01:45:58] uh,

[01:45:59] run some,

[01:45:59] some further scans of the,

[01:46:01] uh,

[01:46:01] the island,

[01:46:02] uh,

[01:46:03] and,

[01:46:03] uh,

[01:46:03] and find out where that colony is and,

[01:46:05] and deal with them on our own terms and such.

[01:46:08] Um,

[01:46:09] and,

[01:46:09] uh,

[01:46:11] I guess I,

[01:46:11] I believe,

[01:46:12] um,

[01:46:13] I have,

[01:46:13] we have come to an arrangement.

[01:46:14] Looks,

[01:46:15] uh,

[01:46:15] Montag looks over to Usher who looks very,

[01:46:18] like,

[01:46:18] she's letting this go,

[01:46:19] she's going to let this happen,

[01:46:20] but she's not happy about it.

[01:46:21] It's like,

[01:46:22] yes,

[01:46:22] I suppose you can come out to the library and we can take a look at the,

[01:46:25] uh,

[01:46:26] the reliquary and,

[01:46:28] uh,

[01:46:29] and take a look at the,

[01:46:30] uh,

[01:46:31] some of our,

[01:46:32] our items that we have,

[01:46:33] uh,

[01:46:33] available.

[01:46:36] It's like,

[01:46:36] yes,

[01:46:36] I think,

[01:46:37] uh,

[01:46:37] and,

[01:46:38] uh,

[01:46:39] I think this will do nicely.

[01:46:40] Uh,

[01:46:40] and instead of you guys walk over to the,

[01:46:42] like walk out of the,

[01:46:43] the,

[01:46:44] the principal's office basically into,

[01:46:45] into the center of the,

[01:46:46] of the,

[01:47:02] and she lets you in there and then she presses a button and the floor just kind of,

[01:47:09] so it's descending down into a vaulted.

[01:47:13] Not what I was expecting.

[01:47:14] I was expecting her to hit a button and all of the,

[01:47:17] um,

[01:47:18] the library bookshelves rotating around.

[01:47:21] Oh yeah.

[01:47:21] And it's all like,

[01:47:23] it's like the men in black scene at the,

[01:47:25] uh,

[01:47:25] at the pawn shop where he hits the button and everything is done.

[01:49:05] like on the walls,

[01:49:05] like of the outside of the library is just brick.

[01:49:09] Like it's like,

[01:49:10] it's like not even a couple of feet thick.

[01:49:12] They should not,

[01:49:12] they shouldn't even be able to turn.

[01:49:14] Yeah.

[01:49:14] They're basically turning like five to like seven feet across,

[01:49:17] like,

[01:49:17] like these like five or seven,

[01:49:19] uh,

[01:49:19] feet across the spaces are just turning like a full,

[01:49:22] like 360,

[01:49:23] but they're not poking at the other side or nothing.

[01:49:25] Yeah.

[01:49:26] There's,

[01:49:26] there's no clipping issues.

[01:49:28] Hang on.

[01:49:29] Would it be 360 or is it 180?

[01:49:31] 180.

[01:49:31] Sorry,

[01:49:31] my bad.

[01:49:32] 180.

[01:49:32] 360 just like,

[01:49:34] it just goes back.

[01:49:35] It goes 720.

[01:49:37] Yeah.

[01:49:37] There you go.

[01:49:38] Um,

[01:49:39] but yeah,

[01:49:39] so they,

[01:49:39] they flip around and yeah,

[01:49:41] revealing that there's no,

[01:49:42] instead of the books,

[01:49:43] they reveal these like,

[01:49:44] um,

[01:49:44] these deep shelves with just an array of artifacts across.

[01:49:49] Like,

[01:49:50] all right,

[01:49:51] well I need to,

[01:49:52] I will be the one to approve them,

[01:49:53] but you may,

[01:49:56] may have a look and choose two.

[01:49:59] as your fancy.

[01:50:02] Any magic items that,

[01:50:03] uh,

[01:50:04] you can think of from core five,

[01:50:06] that,

[01:50:06] uh,

[01:50:07] are particularly useful.

[01:50:08] You're asking me,

[01:50:10] dude.

[01:50:12] Fair.

[01:50:13] here's the thing.

[01:50:14] I will actually allow,

[01:50:15] you do see a,

[01:50:16] uh,

[01:50:16] a,

[01:50:17] what looks like a Viking horn.

[01:50:20] Is that for Fenrir?

[01:50:22] No,

[01:50:22] that's for the,

[01:50:23] uh,

[01:50:23] the summoning,

[01:50:24] basically like,

[01:50:25] uh,

[01:50:26] a bunch of,

[01:50:26] There are four different versions of the Horn of Valhalla.

[01:50:30] Yeah.

[01:50:31] To call in the,

[01:50:32] uh,

[01:50:35] Einher,

[01:50:36] Einherjar?

[01:50:36] Einherjar,

[01:50:37] Oh yeah.

[01:50:38] You call in like soldiers.

[01:50:39] These are the Odin soldiers.

[01:50:40] Yeah.

[01:50:40] Soldiers that like,

[01:50:41] go to Valhalla and such.

[01:50:42] Mm-hmm.

[01:50:43] Um,

[01:50:44] you do also,

[01:50:45] among the,

[01:50:45] among the artifacts,

[01:50:46] and stuff that specifically also,

[01:50:47] you do see,

[01:50:48] uh,

[01:50:49] what looks like some kind of like,

[01:50:51] um,

[01:50:53] uh,

[01:50:53] it looks like some kind of like,

[01:50:56] it,

[01:50:56] it,

[01:50:57] it almost like,

[01:50:58] looks like a,

[01:50:58] like a crown of some kind.

[01:51:00] But like,

[01:51:02] it,

[01:51:02] it's,

[01:51:02] it,

[01:51:03] it looks like it would go around your neck.

[01:51:05] Like,

[01:51:05] it's like a neck crown kind of thing,

[01:51:06] or like a neck crown.

[01:51:07] Yeah.

[01:51:08] Like,

[01:51:08] almost like a,

[01:51:08] like a metallic,

[01:51:09] like an all metal choker.

[01:51:10] A choker?

[01:51:10] Yeah,

[01:51:11] kind of like a choker and some of that.

[01:51:12] And you look at it,

[01:51:13] it's like,

[01:51:13] uh,

[01:51:13] basically it's like,

[01:51:14] but it doesn't say choker or anything

[01:51:15] that on the description,

[01:51:16] because they all have like little like,

[01:51:17] like,

[01:51:17] like little like,

[01:51:18] placards and stuff like that.

[01:51:19] Uh,

[01:51:19] it says like a helm of,

[01:51:21] uh,

[01:51:22] of,

[01:51:23] uh,

[01:51:24] of,

[01:51:24] uh,

[01:51:24] of raid.

[01:51:26] Of raid?

[01:51:27] Oh,

[01:51:28] oh,

[01:51:28] that's your,

[01:51:29] that's your helm.

[01:51:30] Yeah,

[01:51:30] basically,

[01:51:30] so basically like,

[01:51:31] it's,

[01:51:32] it looks like a choker,

[01:51:33] but when you activate it,

[01:51:34] it's like,

[01:51:34] oh,

[01:51:35] I see.

[01:51:36] I think it would probably be like,

[01:51:37] um,

[01:51:37] like,

[01:51:38] like a helm,

[01:51:39] like the actual like,

[01:51:40] art magical artifact would flavor it as like,

[01:51:42] a helm of some kind.

[01:51:44] That's fair.

[01:51:45] Like it just gives armor class?

[01:51:46] Uh,

[01:51:47] well,

[01:51:47] it would give armor class,

[01:51:48] it might give you dark vision because it like,

[01:51:52] it had a whole targeting suite involved.

[01:51:56] Oh,

[01:51:57] internet show.

[01:51:58] Yeah.

[01:51:58] There is also,

[01:51:59] um,

[01:52:00] among them,

[01:52:01] there is also a wind fan,

[01:52:03] like a,

[01:52:03] like a enclosed,

[01:52:04] like,

[01:52:05] like a,

[01:52:05] almost like a Chinese wind fan.

[01:52:06] Um,

[01:52:07] and it says like actually like wind fan on it,

[01:52:10] um,

[01:52:10] from like,

[01:52:11] from some dynasty.

[01:52:13] Um,

[01:52:14] and,

[01:52:14] uh,

[01:52:15] you also,

[01:52:15] you,

[01:52:16] uh,

[01:52:16] Jacob also see,

[01:52:17] it looks like,

[01:52:18] some kind of Draugr artifact.

[01:52:21] Uh,

[01:52:22] it looks kind of like a crustacean,

[01:52:23] um,

[01:52:24] like bio weapon looking like trident.

[01:52:27] A trident,

[01:52:29] you say?

[01:52:29] Mm-hmm.

[01:52:30] Can you tell me what this is?

[01:52:32] It's a trident of warning.

[01:52:35] Okay.

[01:52:36] Um,

[01:52:36] um,

[01:52:37] is that like the sword that,

[01:52:39] um,

[01:52:40] the,

[01:52:40] the little Hobbit man had in that one movie?

[01:52:43] Uh,

[01:52:44] Sting?

[01:52:44] Yeah.

[01:52:45] You know,

[01:52:45] the one that I have on my wall?

[01:52:47] Yeah.

[01:52:48] Is it trident of Sting?

[01:52:51] It doesn't actually,

[01:52:52] where the hell,

[01:52:53] it gave me a picture,

[01:52:54] it didn't actually give me the stats though.

[01:52:56] Where the hell is it?

[01:52:58] Uh,

[01:52:59] uh,

[01:52:59] are you in the weapon section?

[01:53:00] Yeah.

[01:53:16] There's like one,

[01:53:17] like a withered wand,

[01:53:18] like a,

[01:53:18] like almost like a piece of driftwood,

[01:53:20] and there's like a toad,

[01:53:21] like a desiccated toad,

[01:53:22] wrapped to the top of it.

[01:53:25] Gross.

[01:53:26] Yeah.

[01:53:27] It says wand of polymorph.

[01:53:29] Oh,

[01:53:29] you totally need that.

[01:53:31] I mean,

[01:53:33] there's also,

[01:53:34] you can do it naturally.

[01:53:37] Although this wouldn't use it.

[01:53:38] Now I could make other people do it.

[01:53:40] Oh,

[01:53:40] true.

[01:53:41] There's one that looks like it's,

[01:53:47] and then it looks like the,

[01:53:48] the actual like shaft of the wand is made of glass,

[01:53:50] but like,

[01:53:51] it kind of reminds you of when somebody like melts,

[01:53:53] like,

[01:53:54] like pours down like glass,

[01:53:56] or a molten glass or molten metal into like an ant farm,

[01:53:59] and it creates like all the branching things,

[01:54:01] and then it kind of like all,

[01:54:02] it kind of like bulks in a little bit,

[01:54:04] and then kind of tapers down to like a point at the end.

[01:54:37] or unnaturally shaped,

[01:54:38] um,

[01:54:38] like warping wood,

[01:54:40] and it's a wand of,

[01:54:41] uh,

[01:54:41] enemy detection.

[01:54:43] I can't find the trident,

[01:54:49] I'm still trying to find the trident of,

[01:55:41] a,

[01:55:41] uh,

[01:55:42] it looks like a,

[01:55:42] a cane

[01:55:43] with a spiraling

[01:55:45] bobble,

[01:55:46] like kind of like a bobble

[01:55:47] at the top of it,

[01:55:48] like a little,

[01:55:48] like ball,

[01:55:49] with like stripe,

[01:55:50] like black and white stripes,

[01:55:51] kind of like,

[01:55:51] like kind of very curvy and so that,

[01:55:53] and it says,

[01:55:54] um,

[01:55:57] Nathaniel Winters,

[01:55:58] um,

[01:55:59] first,

[01:56:00] uh,

[01:56:01] first cane,

[01:56:02] um,

[01:56:03] and it's,

[01:56:04] uh,

[01:56:04] in brackets,

[01:56:05] it's like,

[01:56:05] um,

[01:56:06] uh,

[01:56:07] rod of laughter?

[01:56:09] Question mark?

[01:56:12] Not sure.

[01:56:13] Yeah.

[01:56:14] Okay.

[01:56:18] All right.

[01:56:19] These are just out of that,

[01:56:20] well,

[01:56:21] there's no,

[01:56:21] yeah,

[01:56:22] I,

[01:56:22] I looked in the,

[01:56:22] in the Tia,

[01:56:23] we get,

[01:56:23] I went to Trident of Fishing,

[01:56:25] and then there was,

[01:56:26] there was no Trident of Warning.

[01:56:28] I guess,

[01:56:28] I guess you could just look it up.

[01:56:29] It might just be like,

[01:56:30] weapons of warning is one thing,

[01:56:32] and it could be any weapon.

[01:56:33] There is an image,

[01:56:34] there's like a,

[01:56:35] like a actual,

[01:56:35] like picture of it.

[01:56:36] It is a specific magic weapon.

[01:56:38] Is it?

[01:56:39] Here,

[01:56:39] I'll just look it up,

[01:56:40] because it's,

[01:56:40] if it's in the main book,

[01:56:41] I can probably get it off the main website.

[01:56:45] Though they might have made it

[01:56:47] not a specific one in,

[01:56:50] maybe it's like a,

[01:56:51] I made it so you just have whatever type.

[01:56:53] this magic weapon warns of,

[01:56:55] warns you of danger,

[01:56:56] while the enemy is on your person,

[01:56:58] while the weapon is on your person,

[01:57:00] while the enemy is on your person.

[01:57:04] You,

[01:57:04] you have it,

[01:57:05] well,

[01:57:05] danger,

[01:57:05] he's right there.

[01:57:06] Danger,

[01:57:07] danger,

[01:57:08] danger,

[01:57:08] danger.

[01:57:10] While the weapon is on your person,

[01:57:11] you have advantage on initiative rolls.

[01:57:13] In addition,

[01:57:14] you and any of your companions,

[01:57:16] within 30 feet of you,

[01:57:18] can't be surprised,

[01:57:20] except when incapacitated by something

[01:57:23] other than a non-magical sleep.

[01:57:27] That is pretty damn cool.

[01:57:32] Question though,

[01:57:33] how would you carry it?

[01:57:35] Right?

[01:57:37] You would have to do bound weapon like I did.

[01:57:39] Yeah.

[01:57:44] Weapon of warning.

[01:57:45] Okay.

[01:57:45] Yeah.

[01:57:46] Oh,

[01:57:46] it's a weapon of warning.

[01:57:47] Okay.

[01:57:47] But yeah,

[01:57:48] this one's specifically a,

[01:57:49] like a,

[01:57:49] a draugr based trident.

[01:57:51] So it's got like,

[01:57:52] kind of like a crab carapace,

[01:57:54] kind of like,

[01:57:54] kind of like that picture.

[01:57:56] Yeah.

[01:57:56] Like the picture.

[01:57:56] Yeah.

[01:57:57] But I'm just describing it for the audience as well.

[01:57:59] Like it's kind of like made of like,

[01:58:01] crab or crustacean like material.

[01:58:04] And like,

[01:58:04] there's definitely some like dried,

[01:58:06] like musk,

[01:58:07] like kind of mucusy kind of material as well.

[01:58:08] That binds everything together.

[01:58:10] So I guess for the picture,

[01:58:11] like,

[01:58:11] yes,

[01:58:11] it is a trident of warning,

[01:58:13] but the,

[01:58:15] like,

[01:58:15] description for the picture should just say weapon of warning.

[01:58:18] Yeah.

[01:58:19] Um,

[01:58:20] okay.

[01:58:21] I'm going to ask because,

[01:58:23] uh,

[01:58:24] it wouldn't,

[01:58:25] it's not in this book.

[01:58:27] And I honestly don't know if it's in any book.

[01:58:30] Um,

[01:58:31] but I'm going to ask her if she has a wand of guiding bolt.

[01:58:37] Um,

[01:58:38] she thinks about it for a minute and then kind of walks down one of the aisles and,

[01:58:42] uh,

[01:58:42] kind of like leads you over.

[01:58:44] And you see,

[01:58:45] yeah,

[01:58:45] it's like,

[01:58:45] I guess we have one of those,

[01:58:47] um,

[01:58:47] a fine,

[01:58:48] uh,

[01:58:48] fine craftsmanship,

[01:58:49] uh,

[01:58:50] made in the,

[01:58:51] in,
