(The Secret World) MSL-NORTH: Tha Boyz - Episode 4: Cressies in July Part 1

[00:00:00] Our wisdom flows, so sweet, test can see. Transmit. Time to learn the truth, boys and girls. In the 30s, Prime Minister King kickstarted a hedge fund for investigating and hunting various paranormal phenomena.

[00:00:19] Now fast forward along the line of mysteries, blood, and maple syrup money throughout the 20th century. And you find numerous groups across the country unified under a loose collective, hunting strange creatures and tackling paranormal threats for profit. Don't believe the lies by the so-called news networks.

[00:00:40] The Secret World is real. Here there be monsters. And the Monster Slayers League North of the American border is out there. Even out in Newfoundland. There's word of a new team known only as The Boyz. And don't even get me started on the beat.

[00:01:00] Hi, welcome to One Less Die, a secret world fifth edition actual pay podcast. That's the Terracah! It's not the fifth edition of Secret World. Yeah, well no it's 5e. Sorry, sorry. Sorry. Shabran! Not yet. Shabran! Um, a The Secret World 5e actual pay podcast.

[00:01:28] We're continuing our Monster Slayers League North campaign as we play test the, we continue to play test the rules of The Secret World 5e edition. So, cause it's not this world, it's that world. And you're really getting like all wrong. Hahaha. Are we done? Abrones? Alright, so Merck.

[00:01:59] I am a Merck. I'm a mercenary. Wait, wasn't Merck his uh... Bolas. Bolas, yeah. Okay. Um, now if only we had a British zombie. You guys have to fight zombies on a magical island. And Tyler's here. Wait, no Tyler's not here. Damn it.

[00:02:18] We're just going down the line of all our campaigns that we've run. Oh yeah. Alright, uh, but yeah we're gonna... Grumble Hammer in the 1920s! Bolas, sorry. Grumble Hammer in the 1920s. Rack him up on them. Roll a sand. Um, you've been that voice the whole time.

[00:02:41] No, I just did it for the intro. Oh. God, I don't know if I could be able to do that. I didn't even do the... I did that for the 1940s game. Like the intro. Yeah.

[00:02:52] You did the uh, a Russian accent for the uh, the narration for the uh, the intro for the 1920s. Oh, did I? Yeah. I don't remember. That was a long time ago. It was literally like ten years ago. Closer to 15 at this point I think.

[00:03:05] No, 2011 or 2012 I think is when we started that game. So, okay maybe you're right. I am the, I do have a roster of like when these, I have like folders from when those games were being worked on and such.

[00:03:19] I only have notes from the dates that it was supposed to be taking place. Yeah. Not the actual dates that we were playing. Regardless, let's... Back to the modern day in the secret world.

[00:03:32] Um, so it's been about two weeks in-game since uh, your last mission, you know the one with the vampires. Uh, that you're I think keeping under wraps because you guys could use them as a contact. They're worth more alive than dead. Yeah.

[00:03:45] Oh yeah right there like friendly vampires. Yeah. And you were able to like kill... Well they're worth more... One vampire. Dead, dead, dead. Yeah, those enough. Yeah and you were able to kill one vampire and also you know that like and you've...

[00:03:57] You actually add some like uh, get some tip-offs to the uh, the Quebec hunters that there's apparently a vampire mob in your level somewhere in Levol. Did we kill one? You killed one, yeah. No no, we didn't. We didn't fight anybody. No that's right you didn't kill him.

[00:04:14] You took him hostage and gave him to the Quebecers. Yeah. I was gonna say we didn't fight anybody. For some reason, yeah for some reason I thought you guys would kill him. Yeah. If you want to give us XP for killing them, fine.

[00:04:22] No you guys didn't get XP for killing him. Oh you guys got XP for defeating him. But um, you got... Your bounty wasn't so much for killing him was for like getting like busy, you traded him for... Yeah. We got extra. Yeah.

[00:04:36] But uh yeah so it's been about two weeks since that event. Much longer since we've actually been here. No yeah it's been like almost a month. I'm so glad that that piano was not on. Oh as Aaron starts hitting the keys. Yeah cause he's...

[00:04:55] Weren't you just complaining earlier that like you hate when players are like on their phones and like doing things? I'm focusing... the difference is I'm focusing on what you're saying and not zoning out reading demotivational posters. Sorry. He's staring you dead in the eye. Yeah.

[00:05:10] I'm looking you dead in the face. You just have very idle hands. I do. He's whining to play with a Zippo and stuff but then you got mad at me because that makes a lot of noise on recordings. Well it's a clicking and clacking is annoying. I know.

[00:05:23] Why not? I don't do it anymore. Okay. Okay. Anyway in the time between the last mission and such you guys actually did get a hundred thousand dollars. No but you guys did get your Templar contacts. I think Richard's Sonec is the Templar administrator back in England.

[00:05:48] You guys have given him information about a cult that escaped your... that technically escaped your grasp by going to St. Pierre or teleporting to St. Pierre through some kind of portal.

[00:06:01] Richard has since contacted you guys and informed you that apparently the Templar representative on St. Pierre Island has... Using the information you guys provided about that cult he has eradicated the threat on his island. So... Sorry. Point of note. I apologize in advance.

[00:06:27] I cannot put my phone on silent. I cannot turn it off. I understand. Just a point away from the... The speaker is pointed towards me away from your mic. Yeah. It's about the best I can offer. That is fine. I understand. So yeah it is...

[00:06:44] I believe it's July something. You know I was too busy playing the keyboard. What is it that he was saying? You son of a bitch. Wait you guys are called in. We're still... We're in July. July. Okay. You heard that siren? Yeah. Could be some of them.

[00:07:05] TVM speakers. Yeah. Yeah. Close up. Unless we have a live studio audience cheering us on. One day. It's probably not showing up. Yeah. One day it will be selling out arenas like some other... Like certain other really successful podcasts. Yeah. Actual plays. Yeah. It's July 30th, 2023.

[00:07:28] So when you guys get called in to the briefing room with Jack there. It's like hey boys. Hey guys. How's it going there? Well hey there buddy. Oh yeah. We could have a couple weeks of rest after the shenanigans we had ourselves in there. Yeah indeed.

[00:07:54] Well we got ourselves an interesting thing here. So what do you folks know about Cressy? So you guys could roll a intelligence or history. It's like Nassie. Now Cressy I do believe she worked down at the mermaid. Am I rolling? History?

[00:08:21] That could be history or just a base intelligence if you don't have it. 15. 15? Okay. 23. 23? 8. Okay. Sounds like Nessie. You know though there, Jacob? Are you John? No you're John. It's been a month in John. I'm Jacob and he's J. J. L. L. L. Schmitt.

[00:08:55] That name is my name too. God damn it. Yeah Jacob you will know that I'm really Schmitt. Oh yeah I guess we didn't really give you a name. Introduce your characters. Aaron is playing Jacob with Amicus.

[00:09:15] Dave is playing John, a mercenary and Merit is playing Marcel a demolisher. I guess he didn't want to hear our bullshit. No not at all. I had a whole spiel of cave. Do you guys like? Let's keep going.

[00:09:35] So yeah, Jacob you know that Cressy is actually a local to the island of Newfoundland. A lake monster. Basically a giant lake serpent that lives out in the Crescent Lake near Roberts arm in like the northern part of Newfoundland.

[00:09:57] The town of Roberts arm has like a bunch of touristy sort of attractions and stuff about it. So I wasn't that wrong. No you're not. Again basically any monster, any lake monster since the inception of Nessie

[00:10:18] has basically it's end up game named Essie but with the first letter of the lake they're in. As you can see with Essie which is a completely different name than convention. Yes. So yeah, that's what you know is that it's this lake monster from a lake up north.

[00:10:39] Okay. And actually you probably also know that that's what the public knows about it. So yeah, I think that's what the generalize thing is that it's a local lake cryptid. Some people say it's a hoax, some people say it's a local legend.

[00:10:58] It's been around since about the 50s or 40s was when the first couple of sightings started like getting notice and like where the tourism kind of stuff started taking up. The secret information, the secret society, the secret world knowledge, the secret lore of it

[00:11:14] is that at some point in the ancient history of Ireland Ireland experienced an invasive species epidemic. In English. That too. Sorry, sorry. They experienced another invasive species epidemic. This one, not of earth. Apparently a rift or portal opened up and these massive eel like creatures

[00:11:49] or snake like creatures began flowing out of this, spilling out of this rift and caused a problem across the country and it wasn't for a certain Patrick. Templar affiliated saint, Patrick. Who driving the eels or snakes out of Ireland.

[00:12:09] Basically that's the secret lore is that Saint Patrick was a Templar and banished or supposedly banished these things off of Irish shores. He was also notorious for murdering Druids. Because you know, they're Illuminati. No actually Druids are different, are actually their own faction. Were they? Yeah.

[00:12:35] The Druids of Avalon are a faction in the secret world. I should have totally been one of them. So yeah, unfortunately we'd have to actually work on their faction. Anyway, so fast forward a little bit. You know this bit.

[00:12:55] You fast forward to when European settlers were heading toward the New World and heading into Newfoundland and stuff. And that was when the secret societies discovered, hey, those beasts that Saint Patrick did banish from the Irish shores, they migrated. They didn't just go, they went somewhere.

[00:13:16] They went across the North Atlantic. Basically those wild hogs that are all over North America now. Yeah. But no, basically these things apparently uprooted and went to the North American continent, the maritime coastlines. And have been living up in the Northern Atlantic Sea along the coastlines ever since.

[00:13:38] And strangely enough despite their outsider origins, like they're from a rift originally, it seems like they've actually acclimated and were coexisting with the local environment and biome. So they weren't immediately eradicated, but they were being, they're now being monitored by various groups in the secret world.

[00:13:59] And hence why the Saintly containment protocol has been initiated. Uh-huh. Or the SCP. Uh-huh. Sorry, no. The foundation. The Saintly control protocol was established to monitor their population and call them when needed so that they don't get out of hand.

[00:14:22] Because these things can be quite big when they're fully grown. They call them? Do they have cell phones? Coal. C-U-L-L. I figured, but you said coal. I meant coal. Yeah, they're pretty horrifying when they get full size because then they grow wings, they become like dragons. Dragons?

[00:14:40] Are these quets of quattles? No. That's a whole other problem down south. But no, yeah. So that's what you, the gist of what you know is like, you know that bit of history. Okay. So yeah, as Jack has said, do you guys know about Chrissy?

[00:14:59] And then like, I guess you just like blur it out what I just said. Eels from Ireland. Well, yeah, actually. Um, they're uh, so yeah, we have a group there since the McGregor organization's been here in Newfoundland.

[00:15:18] We've set up our share, we've taken up our share of the burden and the mantle as a word to keep up the SCP. And we've been, we have a few friendlies stationed out in nearly Crescent at a station

[00:15:34] to monitor the population because like Crescent as well as a few other inlets and such, there, it seems to be the spawning points or like a spawning locations for the Cressies.

[00:15:50] They come in from the ocean, they lay their eggs and then they go out and then when the, eventually the eggs hatch they leave the lake in the inlet because it's connected to the ocean and go out to sea.

[00:16:02] So if we go there, then after that if we die, that's where we'll come back because it's a spawning point. Not a wrong spawning point. Um, but so yes, um, and they've been, the boys there have been doing pretty good for the last few years.

[00:16:20] They've been keeping up reports and we've had a couple of instances where we've had to call the creatures before they get too, because sometimes the population gets a little too unruly and we don't want them attacking people or having to make too many appearances for the locals.

[00:16:39] I'm assuming things have changed because you're telling us all this. Well that's the weird thing. We've been getting to tell it. You're saying it's fun. This is neat information. Nature is very neat, especially when it's even when it's not natural. It's just water cooler talking.

[00:16:56] But so here's the thing. We've been getting regular reports from the, from the SCP station near Robert's arm. Saying everything's fine and right now is around the time when the spawning, they usually start hatching and start going out to sea. But that's not what the locals are.

[00:17:18] We're getting contradictory information. Our reports from the local group is saying that everything's fine, but we've had at least two disappearances and a possible eel attack and a sighting of Cressy in the last week.

[00:17:36] Okay, but when you say they're fine, like are they saying it over the phone? We're all fine here now. How are you? Well, everything's, this is the internet age fella. So we've got the regular email reports,

[00:17:52] but we haven't actually been able to get a hold of anybody out there recently. They don't have discord? I know. What's that? No. Phone messages? I'm just picturing an eel typing an email with a few little slippers. We're all fine here now. How are you?

[00:18:14] We're all fine now. Go on. Go pee. Go pee. So what I want you boys to do is to go out to the, to Robert's on Cressent and investigate, see what's going on. Like, see what they're investigating.

[00:18:40] Like, maybe make sure those missing people's or those animal attacks are just something mundane or if they are a Cressy that's gotten out of hand. I mean, they're spawn ones, so they're not going to be, they're going to be like about the size of a,

[00:18:53] basically a large eel the size of a shark. But nothing too bad. Nothing like their adult size. Like, those are the ones that we, the reason why we call them early is because they get bigger and they start developing abilities, like various abilities and traits that are,

[00:19:13] make a little bit more challenging to kill them. Like breathing fire and growing wings and like turning into a wreck. Well, it hasn't been observed but there is a theory perhaps that they are,

[00:19:25] depending on where they come from, that's still up in conjecture to where they come from. It could be one of the hell dimensions, could be Niflheim. They could even be, they could even be full,

[00:19:35] they could have even been the remnants of the Fomorians that were banished from Ireland. Okay, which one's the dragon slayer? Hmm? The Saint. Oh, George. Saint George, yes. With his lance, the file spear. Yeah.

[00:19:54] There's also the Lambert, wasn't there a guy that like killed with the Lambert worm, like dragon worm creature in England? And the guy that wore like spiky armor? I don't know. Yeah, I recall something like that, yeah. I only remember Saint George because his spear's name was Atgear.

[00:20:09] Which is what you named George. Which is why I named my car after his spear. Because you have a spear. Because there was a pinstripe down the side and then pinstripe ended in something that looked akin to a spear point.

[00:20:23] Yeah, this is out of game, not Indian game. I don't know what character this is, Carr. Sorry, I just... Yeah. So we're going up north and we're gonna hunt some eels. Okay, no? They're eels, so this is gonna be a water mission probably.

[00:20:40] I feel like we need a boat. I think we might get one up there. Yeah, there's multiple... There's various harbors and... Or there's various... Because Crescent Lake is landlocked, right? No, it's actually, you know, this... Crescent Lake is actually connected to the ocean. Oh, yeah. So there's some...

[00:20:55] Like, Navicably? Yeah. They have sort of like two... I guess they're locks basically that I could go through from the inlet to the ends. You know, because... Lot Crests... The Lot Crests Monster. God damn, I hate you all. Alright, so before we go...

[00:21:16] I don't game with you guys. I want to stop at a grocery store. I need like a 50 pound bag of rice. And the biggest rice paper they got. We're gonna have the biggest Unagi. You'll never see. Unagi. Okay, okay. Because I'm thinking we need a boat. Like...

[00:21:38] Big-ass fishing yacht. We might need to mount a 50 cal to it. I will say... We already have the 50 cal. We'll say a yacht probably won't go through, but like a medium-sized fishing boat will probably go through the locks.

[00:21:53] Medium-sized fishing boat and a small yacht are probably pretty close in size. Oh really? Okay. When you say yacht... I don't mean a mega yacht or a super yacht. I mean a yacht. It's like, where's Muffin? This is something that Jack Bezos would spit on. Yes.

[00:22:11] He would laugh at the kind of yacht that I'm describing. Gotcha. Something probably around the same size as the fishing trawler from Jaws. This is the Redneck Yacht Club. Yes. Okay, well you're looking at about a six-hour drive to from the headquarters of the Monster Slayers League

[00:22:35] in New York, St. John's. And this fight rubber's arm. Yeah. Okay, so as we're... If only you guys had a helicopter. Right? So why don't we drive up and see if we can charter a boat once we get there?

[00:22:50] Well, as we're driving up I can scroll through Facebook Marketplace. Wait, what year is it? It's this year. Okay, so I can scroll through Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji and all those other sites and see if I can find an appropriate boat

[00:23:07] because I have very specific things that I want out of it. Okay. It must have a crane. Okay. Which is not uncommon for fishing boats. You gotta lift a fish out of the hook. Yeah, basically like a small-sized fishing trawler kind of thing.

[00:23:24] Yeah, a medium-sized fishing trawler but it's got to have a galley, it's got to have a bunk as well. You want the Jaws boat? I do but I want it to be a little nicer than that. What was the boat's name? I don't know.

[00:23:41] It was like something fortune. Also I want a harpoon gun. Okay, who doesn't like harpoon guns? I don't want to talk about your harpoon gun. I want a mounted harpoon cannon. This is called the Orca. Size. Harpoon gun is powered by elastics and it's used by hand

[00:24:03] by somebody diving. Yeah, it's an authoritarian gun. The harpoon cannon is mounted to the boat and it's pneumatic and it fires javelins, not just like arrows with spikes in them. Okay, we need to upgrade this to a harpooned Gauss gun. Harpoon rail cannon. Fuck yeah.

[00:24:25] That's gonna be pretty... I'm a wizard, we can power it with magic! Sure. Use the force Luke. Shocking grasp, shocking grasp, battery! Okay, so you're driving out there though to get there in the first place? Yes.

[00:24:48] So yeah, you guys get your gear and you head out in the morning. And on your way there as whoever's driving is... Whoever's not driving can do some legwork. I think Jacob wants to look for a boat or see if there's a boat.

[00:25:10] So this is gonna be a pretty difficult DC, but you can roll an investigation. Investigation? I'll be driving. Search various websites for a boat for sale. Oh, don't forget to check Autocrader.ca. They also have boats. Isn't there just like a boat trader?

[00:25:34] There is an auto boat trader as well. But Autotrader does have a lot of boats on it. So I failed utterly on Autotrader. Let's see how I do on Facebook Marketplace. Got a 19 on Facebook Marketplace. Oh yeah. Not good enough? 15? 19. Oh 19? 15 plus 4.

[00:26:10] Okay, you find something that fits the big crane. It doesn't have the harpoon gun. It's about 500,000. Can I keep looking? You can try again. We do even have... We already have six hours. I have $115,000. Do we all have that same amount? No.

[00:26:40] Yeah, you were just loaded for some reason. I was loaded more than everybody else, but I should only be like 20 maybe 30 above you. Actually, I'll say with the harpoon gun it had was 500,000. Without... The closest one you found without is about 90,000.

[00:27:01] Still almost completely taps us out of saving for a helitour. So why don't you just rent a boat? Because we're going to need a boat eventually anyway. Well yeah, but we're going to store this on the ocean. Your headquarters is on Bell Island, so you have a harbour.

[00:27:17] We have harbours along. You should rent. Okay, I'm trying to get Gigi next. Oh, actually, do you want to... Are you doing anything on the six hour drive? No, not right now. He should be the one to roll. Yeah, actually, I'm not doing anything either.

[00:27:37] But you can aid another to give it back. So I'll say like in the first three hours, that was the first thing you found. Was the $500,000 one that had everything. And then a $90,000 one which had just the crane and no harpoon gun. Okay, 18 and 4 is 22? 22?

[00:28:00] I will say with 22 you can... And this is as you guys are getting close, like you're now approaching Robert's arm. Like you're like about an hour, less than an hour away. You find one... somebody's willing to sell one for $50,000.

[00:28:16] But your choice, out of game, your choice, it only has the crane or it only has the harpoon gun? It's a crane. Crane, crane. We've got the browning that we can mount in front of the boat. At least it's not, you know...

[00:28:38] You guys are also trying to be inconspicuous. I will also point out you guys are trying to be inconspicuous. Yes, I'm going to add some rings to the 50 cal machine gun and some fishing line so it looks like a really stupid looking fish rod.

[00:28:53] You can cast Prestidigitation on it and make it look the way the fuck you want. No. No? Prestidigitation, I can make illusions about this big. Do I have something that's actually appropriate for that? It's not like somebody...

[00:29:11] If you guys are going on to the lake looking for things... Oh, so you're going there... Yes, again the boat thing is something as a preemptive. But you're going to Robert's arm to your choice of asking the locals who have seen...

[00:29:30] Supposed to be seen something in the last week. Also maybe look into the disappearances that have happened. You're also there to go to the SCP station that's on the lake. And I'll say that Jack also gave you a dossier.

[00:29:43] The station is a cabin on the lake in the woods near a local hiking trail set up called the Hazelnut Hiking Trails. So you can actually access... And it is accessible by road or by a dirt road to the cabin. I assume he's referring to you, Jacob. Yes.

[00:30:01] Sorry. So yeah, there is the... You have that information like you're... I feel like you're jumping the gun a little bit by going... Like let's get a boat with a harpoon gun and a crane so we can just go out on the water. It's like where are they?

[00:30:17] That's what I'm seeing. You guys may want to do some investigation first or the auditing first. Well, I kind of figured you have to go from point to point by way of boat.

[00:30:27] I will say like looking at the dossier and the map and stuff that you can see that like... You guys could technically... You don't necessarily need a boat right away. If you want to go by that road, by all means. But everything is also mostly accessible by road.

[00:30:44] Okay, well I'll save that ad for later. Yep. Okay, Joe Bob McGregan's Kijiji order or Kijiji sale is still available. I'll send him the... Hey, is this still available? Yeah. Okay, and then I guess we had to the dirt road so we can go to the SCA. SCP.

[00:31:15] The Saint Lee control protocol station. Sorry, the SCA is a reenactment group for like... Society for creative reenactmentism? Yes. Okay, so you're just going straight to the cabin? I guess so. Do we... Do you guys have any recommendations of where else we should go first?

[00:31:36] They have all the information. They're the local spot that we're checking out. Okay. The dog apparently is just in and out today. And we see if their information differs from what we were told or if they have any new information. Tuzi has 32 ACP in Hall Point in stock.

[00:32:02] Come on, come on, move. You have no money. No I don't. You owe me money. I know. I know what I do for an anvil. Okay, so you guys left around... I was on sale at Princess Auto.

[00:32:19] It is literally the best anvil that I have seen for private purchase for a fair and reasonable at good price ever. It's the only good priced anvil I've ever seen. And it had both a hearty hole and a pritchle hole and it has a horn on both ends.

[00:32:40] And one of them is a flat horn and the other one is a rounded horn. So it literally is all the anvil you should ever need. I was so disappointed no one asked me what I was buying it for. You were gonna say coyotes?

[00:32:57] I was gonna say pet control. What is this road where I should buy my shit at me? See, I told my parents, I told my mom about the anvil. My little brother was in the room and he said the same thing.

[00:33:13] I was like, yeah, but it doesn't work on the road, brother. But it does work on the coyote. Yeah, that's true. Okay, back to the game. You guys left around nine from Bellevile Island slash St. John's. It takes you about six hours.

[00:33:28] It's gonna be about three o'clock by the time you guys get into Robert's Arm. So Robert's Arm, it's a pretty... It's about mid-sized fishing village basically. So like, I don't think it's got many people. Is there a bar in town called a pit? I really hope so.

[00:33:43] There might be. Robert's Arm pit. Robert's Arm... I don't see the population in this. Just to adjust to this. What biggest damage is this? A total of just under a thousand people. So it's a small, it's a pretty small fishing village. We're getting a mottage on one side.

[00:34:01] Okay, yeah. And yeah, like it's got like an auto repair. It's got some like some... A lot of utility store stuff. There is not a Tim Hortons. Not in Canada anymore. They do have a sex shop called Holding an App. I wonder if there's coffee shops here.

[00:34:26] That's Canada. I hope they caught that on their recording. We have a good line. God damn it. The closest fucking coffee shop... Oh my god, this is ridiculous. How is it that our East Coasters even live? Just... okay, there's a just chilling youth zone and Internet Cafe.

[00:34:51] And then on the other side of town like on the actual lake, there is Burton's grocery hardware. So basically they're surviving off of gas station coffee and such at that point. Or I guess they could make their own at home. Yeah, we kind of moved to this place.

[00:35:07] It opened a coffee shop. Well, 100% of the market share. It's true. Yeah. It's true. You're talking about real life? Yeah. So you buy a store for like 50 bucks. You drive down the highway 380 into town or into the area. You see that the hazelnut hiking trails

[00:35:32] and the road that goes out into the woods where the trails are and so on. There's actually a side road that goes off onto that little like peninsula that's where the cabin is and such.

[00:35:49] It's also the same road veers off to a Crescent Lake RV park as well. And that's actually an area where one of the disappearances happened as well. But you're going down the road toward the woods where the cabin is, my bad. And you see that there is a...

[00:36:14] You see a cabin ahead of you. There's a clearing for your car to park and such. You see there is a cart there, but it looks like it's been there, hasn't been used in a while. Like there's pine needles and leaf litter on, covering it and stuff.

[00:36:34] Not like a thick layer, but enough that it hasn't been used in a few weeks. And as you get closer, you guys also notice that the door is just like the back door to the cabin that opens up to the little driveway area is swinging open.

[00:36:55] Well, that is not at all an encouraging sign. I believe at this point I will be donning my complete kit. I would be jumping the gun a bit. Right! Little mini young man. I just imagine your character always like in like bomb squad outfit. No, basically. Not always.

[00:37:22] Just anytime I see something real serious like that. Okay. I put my flannel shirt on. I just wear the same stuff all the time. The music is just like, We are the men in plan. Okay, yeah. So it's about three o'clock, just after three.

[00:37:46] And there's light, sunlight and stuff that come through the canopy and such. And yeah, there's just... It's not a very encouraging sign on the cabin otherwise. So this cabin is supposed to be where the SCP is?

[00:38:00] Yeah, this is where they monitor the population of the Cressies in the lake and such. Okay. And from your car you see like the door swinging open and the car in the drive has not been used for a while.

[00:38:22] As you guys are opening up and getting loaded up and such. How do you want to proceed? Well, I'm going to check my pistol. Dip's not taking point. We have droids for this. I'm going to get out my Wicondrone. Oh yeah, true. Oh yeah, you have that in.

[00:38:51] Yeah. And I'm just going to take a little tour around first and then in the cabin. Okay. Well, we... An investigation. By the way, Aaron? Very far. Does that work through walls? Eleven. Or just line of sight? Line of sight.

[00:39:10] You see what looks like some drag marks around the cabin. Like you see some like furrows and the dirt and stuff like that. They look like they might be drag marks out around to the shoreline and such.

[00:39:25] Like it goes deep over to the shoreline, which is about a few... Probably like 50 feet or 75 feet away from the cabin itself. There's also some material. It looks like there's some kind of a scuffle. When you go inside, it's just a mess.

[00:39:41] The only table that hasn't been like flung open or what have you is a table near the front of the cabin looking out at the lake where all the monitoring equipment is and the computer terminal is,

[00:39:55] which appears to still be on but in sleep mode by the light and stuff on the screen. Okay. Do I see any traps? Do I see any... Mourning? You see blood? But there's nothing that's going to blow off if I walk into the door. Oh, yeah, no.

[00:40:15] You don't see any of that. No. It brought into a claymore recently. And a shotgun. I think there was a shotgun trap. Yes. So I'm going to withdraw the drone back to me and I'm going to go and take point to investigate the building. Okay.

[00:40:34] Assuming you bought a new drone in the meantime. Yes. Because it was a story last time, as I recall. But it's been a while since then and yeah, I can spend money. It's been a while. I can get one on two weeks. Yeah.

[00:40:46] I can get one on Amazon tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, shipping. Yeah, basically. So you're taking point to go inside and such? Yep. I have the hammer up, I have the shield up. You want to follow me? Yeah, that makes sense. Okay. Everybody roll in the perception.

[00:41:04] Stay in the gun. Well, perception or investigation? I don't think it would be that bad. Passively or purposefully searching? Okay. I'm going to do purposefully search. I'll take perception because I have advantage on perception. Investigation of 18. Oh, thank God I have an advantage on perception. Rolled in two.

[00:41:26] You get it right? Yeah. Yeah. Do you have a long few days? Did you want a coffee? I would love a coffee. Okay. I'll actually get your information and your stuff. Oh, that's alright. Okay, so perception. I got 19. 19? I'm checking the woods around me. I'm also going 19.

[00:41:56] So you guys both got 19? Yes. I got 18. Okay. So John's perception was for like scoping around and such? Yeah. The woods around outside the front door and around where we parked. Yeah. And then Jacob, what are you doing? I'm following him. Okay, so you're going inside with Marcel?

[00:42:20] I'm down focused on skinning left and right. I'm looking for strip wire, pressure plates. Okay. I'm looking for explosives. And behind. Gotcha. So Marcel, you're going through and checking. It doesn't look like anybody set up anything. Or if it was, it was tripped already kind of thing.

[00:42:41] Karen, you look up an eagle. An eagle latches onto your face. That's an eagle, actually. The Newfoundland ceiling eel gets you over time. It's an eel goal. No, you're looking around. You don't see anything aside from, you do see some blood spray on the walls. Okay.

[00:43:02] And like around like some of the, again there's a bunch of overturned, like looks like a brawl or some kind of a scuffle happened inside here. And some, you are also seeing some bullet holes in the walls. And so some gunfire was present.

[00:43:17] But whatever, whoever did this, either they were trying not to damage the monitoring equipment or if the monitoring equipment had like was knocked over and stuff that's been re, it's been set back up.

[00:43:33] When you say monitoring equipment, is this like the monitoring equipment you find in the woods in Allen Way for all of the little... Kind of like that? Yeah, no, no, like that the FBC like that big box, that station. Oh, the big box monitor.

[00:43:48] Yeah, it's kind of like some of that kind of equipment that the FBC would have. It's kind of the equipment that these guys have. Like they have like basically like computing, like large computer towers

[00:43:59] and like hard wires going out of the cabin and going down to the lake where there's like sonar equipment and other kind of like detection equipment for the water and such.

[00:44:08] Okay, I thought it was going to be one of the small round ones where they've got like the one camera set up on a stand and the microphone and then like... So in there like a weird like postmodern ritual sort of situation? Yeah.

[00:44:21] No, it's not something like that. It's more like this was used as a listening station for whatever's in the water and like keeping tabs on whatever's coming through, traveling through the lake. Wow, so exactly like the one from the FBC Allen Way. Basically. Literally for monitoring a lake.

[00:44:41] And actually the cabin kind of looks like that one cabin, like the ranger station cabin. Okay. So and you see like on like there's a kind of an LCD screen computer on the table

[00:44:57] and it looks like it's like the lights blinking so it's not on or it's not off but it's on like sleep mode or something. Like if you like move the mouse or anything. Roll the mouse.

[00:45:06] Yeah, it comes to life and you see there's various software running right now checking the lake and such and it actually that's all like tabbed. The thing that's open right now is it looks like some kind of a program

[00:45:22] that is connected to the email and you'd have to roll like an intelligence or an insight to see to know what it's doing. This is our hacker, right? Yeah, but he's outside.

[00:45:34] The first thing I want to do before he even touches the keyboard is I want to sniff it. Okay, I want to see if it smells like eel. Okay. The keyboard specifically. Yeah. Okay. Okay with your 18 you don't smell like fish or eel or any of that.

[00:45:56] You do get a there's a weird scent in the air. It's sulfury. There's a demon eel. There's some kind of like sulfur in the air like around like the stuff here. Meal outside. So you're seeing like there's some foot traffic.

[00:46:13] There was a car that came in here before you guys fairly recently by the way to the trends and stuff in the gravel in mind. Okay. And you see some foot traffic kind of around the front around the cabin door and then like

[00:46:33] you see like the some furrows and some drag. It's okay some something or somebody was dragged on the ground around the cabin toward the lake. Out of the cabin and then towards the lake. Okay.

[00:46:46] Also with your with your perception, you realize that is very quiet in the forest around here. Like there's no animals chirping or making noises or anything. It's like late July. Yeah. So like none of the telltale signs of wilderness are really kind of like going off around here.

[00:47:04] The drag marks and all that how recent does it look? Looks like a few maybe a few days. Actually you have to roll survival sorry. Okay. Man is 14. Yeah. About maybe like it's dried like the trail like maybe rained last couple of days and like

[00:47:30] so it looks like it's dried like caked in like kind of molds on the dry mud. So it looks like maybe a few days. Okay. I walked down that way a little bit but I'm not losing sight of the front door or the van.

[00:47:49] You look down again with your perception you got like a 19 so you can see the shoreline and there's some kind of like looks like something was was set up down by the shoreline.

[00:48:00] Like and you see like some large cables and stuff coming from the from the cabin and going like on the ground down to the like some submarine and submarine like submarine cables coming

[00:48:12] from the coming from the cabinet itself and like the back the front of the cabin to the shoreline and going down that way but there's also a bunch of other stuff down there.

[00:48:20] It's kind of hard to make out though like maybe some some tripods and stuff like that. Okay. And do we have radios to talk to each other? Yes. Are you awake? Yeah. I'll get your coffee soon.

[00:48:36] Okay because I'll probably just inform them that I see drag marks going down towards the shoreline and go check it out a little bit. Okay. So I go over and yeah. You guys have some vocal mics. Probably.

[00:48:51] All right I'm going to get a coffee for Aaron before he falls asleep and becomes a little pumpkin. Thanks pumpkin. Anytime. I was telling him how like the manga is for um uh Dragon Ball Z. It's a lot like quicker and to the point.

[00:49:16] He doesn't charge a spirit bomb for five hours. And then Aaron says well it depends on how fast you read. Thank you sir. Yep. All right so uh yeah you guys find the uh the cabinet in the state of a scuffle and

[00:49:41] disappear and such um so uh so he so John lets Jacob uh let's the team know that like however John is the one that's good with computers so it is or unless Jacob wants to try his hand and like check and see what the computer thing is.

[00:50:00] Am I good with computers? You are. Is there a hacking role? Like what would that be? Did you have like a wasn't your didn't you have a computer something that for hacking? Is it a tool set?

[00:50:24] Yeah because I think we discussed that these tools in this day and age would include hacking tools. Some hacking tools. Oh so just that part then yeah I have these tools so technically yes. And you're proficient with them so.

[00:50:42] But you can also like you see the um oh yeah so he was going to stop you from wiggling the uh the mouse to get turned on and stuff like that. What um uh myself. Why did you do that again? Sorry. Do what?

[00:50:58] You were trying to stop him from like from touching anything? You were just like I wanted to do the quick sniff test. Okay. Just to see if it smelled fishy. Yeah and it doesn't smell fishy it smells. Suspicious. Still suspicious.

[00:51:10] Yes but we shouldn't these guys are wearing like fucking Hugo Boss Cologne just drenched in it. Fucking guy. As we all know Hugo Boss is definitely run by demons. They should have been by Nazis. Yeah actually yeah.

[00:51:27] But yeah um so uh so Jacob you activate the the monitor again or you activate the monitor and you see that there's um a program running in conjunction with the email that's up. So you can roll an insight to uh get a sense of what it's doing.

[00:51:48] At least I'll re-roll. Did you not roll really well last time? I did roll really well last time but I rolled that before you left to get me coffee and nobody checked it so I wasn't about to take that natural 20. I appreciate the honesty.

[00:52:12] It's not even that it's about honesty at this point it's that I can't prove that it's honest. Yeah. Because I know you'd let me away with it but there'd always be that nagging suspicion at the back of your brain. Yeah. Uh sorry so this is an insight. Yep.

[00:52:32] Which I am proficient in and I get a plus six too so that's 11 plus six so 17. 17? Okay.

[00:52:41] So the program is running seems to be seems to have several um it's basically like it's setting up automation for sending out emails to um to outward like addresses and stuff like that with like various like reports and stuff like that.

[00:53:01] Reports on how they're uh prints in Nigeria. No. They just need a donation. Five packs of dollars to get back to their account.

[00:53:11] More like reports that um reports on the lake on the population of the lakes population of Cressys and like how they're nominal and like things are all good.

[00:53:24] We're all good here now is essentially what you're getting is like basically somebody has installed a program on here to give up to automate reports for the next few like weeks. That everything is fine at the station. Hmm. Does it look like it was typed with a fin?

[00:53:44] No. There's no slime right about on the on the keyboards. They're polymorphing into fingers. Yeah, my god they're evolving. They're fingers. Yeah.

[00:54:05] Yes, that's what you find from the computer is somebody has set up like basically this place is all somebody something bad happened here and somebody is coming here and made it sound made seem to HQ that everything's fine here. Okay, I'm gonna pull up Facebook. Okay.

[00:54:27] You load up Facebook. No, just going to Facebook.com. Oh, to the person. Okay, yeah. To see if it auto logs into somebody's account.

[00:54:38] Yeah, you know what? Yeah, I'll say that you do actually get you get a Jack Philburn Philburn's Facebook page pops up from and apparently he's wrote. Local resident of Robert's arm. Actually, the Robert's arm he's from the that RV park nearby. And like, yeah. Okay.

[00:55:09] You see some some some of his some more most recent like messages like in his personal messaging so as to his like to his girlfriend and his mother. How long ago? About about a week ago, like last Saturday. Like more. Okay.

[00:55:32] In fact, there was actually a message pending or he was like writing something or typing something to his to his mother and it just never said. It ends halfway and then just it was never sent. I must have died well right. Yeah.

[00:55:55] Just imagine like your character there Dave copper was like, like, oh, false the ground. A single hand set. Pretty much. Okay. Now it's like a week ago. And there's no other like hosts or photos he was tagged in last week. In the last week. No.

[00:56:27] Yeah, he's got tons of photos, photos and and what have you of him and his girlfriend and like some some people around an RV park and like on the lake like actually like boating on the lake and stuff like

[00:56:42] kind of what you'd expect to see in like a summertime kind of thing but nothing. Gams are the messages with his girlfriend. Anything worth seeing to the RV drive. No.

[00:56:55] He's of course referencing like if she's messaging and be like where the hell are you it's been a week.

[00:57:00] Oh yeah, there's like I'll say like there's that kind of information like last week like that's but it's all it's all been on her end not like replies from him at all. Okay. Yes, Dave. That's exactly what I meant. Yes, clearly. Of course. Wink.

[00:57:14] The Tommy was so a wink. Yeah. Y'all are sick. Yeah, so that's what you get. Okay. Are you doing anything aside from like sniffing around? Well, I've got a forensics kit. Yeah. So there's some blood around right? Mm-hmm. So you're gonna take a sample of that?

[00:57:43] It's also some gunshot. Looks like some bullet holes or some small like scattershot holes. Like birdshot? Yeah, looks like it. Should use that calipers and see what the width of the holes are and I'll walk in here or just look for casings.

[00:58:03] Are there any casings on the ground? There are none. It was all done with a blunder bus. Oh, they're gonna take G11. So I'm going to take the blood and I can just type it on this check. So it'll tell me it's like A positive, B negative.

[00:58:20] And you have a quick month then. So I should be able to check the personnel file to see who matches that type. Roll an investigation. All of them. They're all the same blood type. 19. 19? Yeah, you find the blood types for a Jack Philburn.

[00:58:41] And you see one, you found one also for a Ren Kowalski. Okay, and I think the blood does match your one of them? Yeah, that's what I mean. When you do the test, you find blood samples for these two individuals.

[00:58:59] I will say also, your dossier said that there were three agents based here. There was a Jack Philburn, Ren Kowalski and a Troy McClutch. So you have blood samples for two, but not the third? Nope. Okay, that's what they pulled the trigger then. He was secretly an eel.

[00:59:19] They just an eel ball. It's just eels for days. They're eel mimics. He's playing nine from outer space, but with eels instead of aliens. That's his favorite movie. Yes, clearly. Or it's just deep ones, but they're eel ones. Eel ones. They're shallow ones.

[00:59:43] They don't go down to a deep one. I actually used shallow ones for lake deep ones. Yeah. Now they're just really, really, really superficial deep ones. Yeah, they go for looks when they're choosing human mates. That's fake Prada. Get the fuck out of here.

[01:00:07] We're going to turn you mad. Nice. Oh my God, I want to run that cathedra game now. Just like really sassy, Jersey Shore deep ones. Also Jersey Shore deep ones sounds like a really bad sex move. I love it. Anyway, moving on.

[01:00:32] Which just makes me think of Snooki from South Park. Yeah. Those are stupid quotes in there. So you're like Snoo Snoo I think. Yeah, because it was like snarf, snarf. Anyway, so you were outside still, right? No, I just walked in the door. Maybe they should do this.

[01:00:52] Check for boat for shells. Meanwhile, I've got the calipers out. I'm measuring every bullet hole size. Yeah. Yeah, because it's probably the smarter way to do it. Are there any shells on the ground? A roll investigation. To search. 12. Okay.

[01:01:24] You find one under one of the overturned dressers in this room. Like cupboards or whatever like shelving or something like that. You find one underneath it. Based on that, you find one. There's definitely more than one bullet hole. It's a shotgun shell.

[01:01:42] And there's definitely more than one shotgun blast. So someone cleaned up or attempted to do it? And they missed a couple of things. Okay. But I still know real... Basically your best bet is like, well, you guys don't have any blood from the Troy guy.

[01:02:03] So maybe he's the one that did it. You don't see any other like telltale signs. There's no like markings or like tags or anything like that that would like denote some certain group or people. Eels was here. Not that kind of tag. Yeah.

[01:02:22] Yeah, that's too easy just to assume that he did it. I mean we could read Eels for life. We could theoretically just catch that and go home. But... You don't fuck life? No. It was Troy. Yeah, Troy did it. Troy in the tab with the shotgun.

[01:02:37] That was close. That's the tag. It was Troy. Toad's Troy. Definitely Troy. Hashtag Troy's Troy. Troy did it. I swear. You see that in blood? It was Troy. He just like died. But his spell is... That's just going down. The Y just goes like...

[01:03:03] The Y just streaks down in the blood. Like where a finger would have been. Yeah. That's what you find in the cabin. The monitoring stuff is still working. I was just about to ask does it still work? Yeah, the actual monitoring equipment and stuff like that.

[01:03:19] There's other tabs and stuff on the computer. Just the email and that program. That automation program. The things that are up but there's a bunch of minimized stuff. Okay. Any information there about how many eels that they are aware of being there?

[01:03:35] That would be some of the stuff in the programs they have minimized. Is there another one that shows how many are missing? Your role... How many there should be and how many there are? I'd say insight plus your toolkit. Bonus. Your proficiency on the toolkit. Okay.

[01:03:54] You know how to read documents and stuff like that. Proficiency twice plus is wisdom. Is this a spreadsheet? Yeah, because you're proficient in insight. I'm not. Okay, so then your proficiency plus your wisdom? Yes. Okay. I think Lucy wants some on that couch. She always does.

[01:04:21] A little bit. Total of 15? 15? So the data you're reading here, about two weeks ago is when the... A few months ago you see some data of some adult crested coming into the lake and laying eggs. And basically your cross-referencing looks like that's normal.

[01:04:45] It usually takes a few months for the eggs to hatch once they're laid and stuff. And then about two weeks ago the eggs started hatching, about three dozen started hatching.

[01:04:58] Then out of the three dozen, all but about six or no, seven of them, the eel offspring or the spawnlings made it out of the lake and back out into the Atlantic. They called a couple, but they ruled down the number a little bit.

[01:05:19] So they're just letting them go basically? Yeah, well again, they're monitoring the situation. It's sort of like every couple of years these things come in for spawning. Yeah. So yeah, they called a few of them. So they whittled it down to about half of that.

[01:05:35] And then all but about seven spawnlings were gone. And then about a week ago the data showed that the movements of these things started being really, the seven that were left began being really sporadic around the lake and like going to certain beaches and stuff like that.

[01:05:58] And then over the course of the week six of them didn't go out to the ocean. They started going toward the one river system that goes inland. And so about a day ago all but one, basically six of the seven spawnlings,

[01:06:19] their movements were picked up going through that river system down deeper into the inland of Newfoundland. So there's still one, Christy supposedly based off the movement data you're seeing here still in the lake.

[01:06:33] And the other six are going the exact opposite of what the organization wants them to go. Okay. It's also very strange because looking at some of the other back data basically, this never happens. They usually like they spawn in the lake and the inland and the inlets around.

[01:06:54] And then they have an instinct to go out to sea to the salt water. Yeah, so something spooked them I guess. Maybe there's a salt source out river that's actually disrupting their instincts. Maybe.

[01:07:09] You did also see some weird stuff going like some weird material or some weird equipment or something like that by the shoreline. So maybe that's part of their, like it wasn't just, it didn't look to adjust like modern equipment. So we should be fishing with salt lakes.

[01:07:26] Do we know what happened to the adults? The adult what, the Cressies? Yeah. Once the Cressies, about a month or two ago, once the Cressies like when the adult ones came into the lake, they spawned and then they went back into the Atlantic.

[01:07:40] Okay, so at least we're going to deal with that. Yeah, it seems whatever happened, like whatever changed their behavior happened within the week and happened just to the last, like the remnants of the spawn lakes. Okay. Oh, so it's a third party fuck with shit. Probably. Okay.

[01:08:00] Do you guys want to roll me, um, perception? 21. My eyes turned off. You're really focused on that data. Yeah. It's so hypnotic. Basically just a hacker from Shadowrunner plugged directly in. That's all I could make. Don't pull it too early, otherwise we'll just get dumped on. Yeah.

[01:08:36] It's like, oh, 22. 22? Okay, so you, so you two, just... I didn't even re-roll. I get to do an advantage but there's no point in re-rolling. Yeah. Uh, Jacob and Marcel, you notice, are you guys hear some movement outside in the surrounding bush?

[01:08:54] Like, you guys hear some like, some, uh, some tree, some twig snap? You might be creating for that if there's some movement in the bush. I charge you at the door. Okay. Um, are you following or are you just holding out there?

[01:09:20] I'm going to take cover in the doorway. What's going on? I was like, what's going on here? Oh god, it is Merrick. Yeah. It's like Merrick. Yeah. So you go barreling out and stuff like that.

[01:09:36] Um, uh, you run outside like turn, like, you heard that thing coming from one of the, from like just beyond like the windows and like the one side of the cabin. So you run out of that, turn that corner and there you find a battered looking, um, guy.

[01:09:52] Like, he's white, uh, brown hair. Um, like got a, uh, got like a fleece jacket or like one of the, uh, like a plaid shirt on and jeans. He's wearing a uniform. He's like, he's like kind of on half bent on the ground, like, like he's falling over

[01:10:11] and it's like, he looks up to you, you kind of in a bewildered look and it's like, oh, help me please. Uh, healing word. Okay. Yeah. Uh, what does that do exactly? Sorry. That's a good question. We can salt my open tab.

[01:10:30] I have written down 1d4 plus three. The plus three might be your spell casting ability modifier. Probably. Probably. Definitely me. Yeah. 1d4 plus your spell modifier. Okay. Which would be six. Holy shit. I'm going to get a new slot. Oh, you have a bad passion.

[01:11:00] So he gets back 10 hit points. Okay. He like, he starts glowing. Oh, what the? Ah, okay. How'd you get 10? What? How'd you get 10 out of that? Because my modifier is plus six. I rolled a four. Plus six modifier? Yeah, dude. For casting magic? Yeah. Holy shit. Apparently.

[01:11:23] He's looking at his injuries, having a little bit of a bewildered state. He's like, you're a wizard? I'm better than that, my friend. Okay. Well, thank you. Better. We got to get out of here. We got to get out of here. Initiate the wizard. Something's gone wrong.

[01:11:46] The crests in the lake, they've gone feral. You guys are with HQ, right? What's your name? My name's... No, sir. We're park rangers. God damn it. Okay. All right. All right. I'm going to cast Prestidigitation. Can I make an illusion about this big? Sure. Okay. Sweet.

[01:12:10] I'm going to make an illusion of a Stetson hat. And I'm going to cast a Stetson hat. And I'm going to turn into a bear wearing the hat. Only you came night forest fires. Yeah. The troim clutch. We got to get out of here.

[01:12:35] He's the one that we were going to pin on this, right? I mean... I mean... What happened? We were in your station. I assume your colleagues are dead. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody... Some guys showed up all black... like turtlenecks and balaclavas. I think they might have been...

[01:12:58] I've heard some of you guys say it, like call them Venetians. They showed up... They had the purple insignia on their... on their shoulders. I hate the Stetson hats. The Stetson hats. Clearly this was the work of the sea people. And they had...

[01:13:15] They got in the crests all rowed up. They were attacking the cabin. We got to get out of here. Why do we have to get out of here? Because the crests, they might come back. How many crests do you think there are?

[01:13:32] There's got to be at least like... seven, eight. Oh, son. That's cute. Get in the van. We'll be fine. Oh, okay. Okay. So how long have you been out here? Just a couple of days. Six weeks. I've been like hiding out in the... in the local brush.

[01:13:54] Do you want to roll an insider or something on them? Kind of. Like why wouldn't you like go into town or something? Or, yeah, this would be insight. Yeah. See, like based on what we know, this happened a week ago? Yeah. The attack? Yeah.

[01:14:09] And he's just been hanging out around the cabin? Okay. He's a mimic? A total of 20. Okay. Yeah, he's not being very... like, he's hiding something. You're hiding something. Wow. Amazing role-play. Hell yeah. Nailed it. So... Give this man an Oscar.

[01:14:38] We just got here, but as far as I can tell, whatever happened here happened a week ago. You have not been hanging out around the cabin for a week, running for your life. Now! And that's when like out of the brush, a bunch of cult-like guys with shotguns

[01:14:58] are kind of like leap out of the... leap out of the underbrush where they were waiting. Goddamn. And this human transforms into a large... reptilian humanoid. Smelling an awful lot of brimstone. Goddamn it, I want to do Nagi. I guess a guan is gonna have to do.

[01:15:27] So yeah, initiatives as you're being attacked by three cultists with shotguns and a large lizard demon. We say large, how large is large? Like a large... A large sized creature? Large sized creature, yeah. Basically a pitcher, a velociraptor from Jurassic Park,

[01:15:46] but with human proportion, like human bone structure. So he's like a lizard man from... He's an argonian, basically like a large sized argonian. Yeah, yeah. Mark Zuckerberg. Is he a naturally occurring creature type? No. He smells of hell, of the hell dimensions. Just wanted to ask,

[01:16:05] you suddenly get a whiff of it, Marcel. That brimstone and sulfur smell you were getting? It's wafting off of this guy. Okay, so the initiatives. You probably really won't like radiant damage. Probably not. And yeah, the cultists are also... Actually they are dressed up in turtlenecks

[01:16:28] and balaclavas and such, but they don't have the purple Phoenician insignia on them. They have another insignia on their... On a patch on their... Just on the one shoulder. That of a snake coiled around an apple. Or an eel coiled around an apple.

[01:16:56] What's this city in town called? Robert's Arm. That's Arm holding an apple. Yes. Again, that is... Robert's Arm is an actual place. This is always the porn shop in the town. He's holding an apple. God damn it. You just found the employees of the local porn shop.

[01:17:22] They're wearing... That's the other two cute forms. It's all branded. God damn it, that's not what it is. It can't be purple billy clothes. Oh god. No, they're wielding purple shotguns. They're wielding shotguns. They fired giant dildos at you. Dildo.

[01:17:47] Like a T-shirt cannon loaded with dildo butt shots. God damn. Also multiple. Shit. Okay. So what's everybody's initiative? Nine. Oh god, okay. Seventeen. Also seventeen. I actually believe that asshole. Whose deck's score is better? I get a plus three to my decks. That's four in my decks.

[01:18:14] So they're both better, sir? Yes, as far as I can tell. Unfortunately you're not going first. Damn. That's fine. You did go surprise cockfag so you should go first anyways. I mean I'm still inside so whatever. Just get a second one. Just gotta re-orange this.

[01:18:35] I guess I red pastured you to go out there and assist I suppose. They don't even know you're there technically. Yeah you just have a fortune for it. I was like you're lying. You're clearly like, oh. What did you do to my dog?

[01:18:52] I just tapped him head and nail. Just a little bit. Sorry, I'm just gonna quickly... Well as quickly as I can reorganize the initial order. Faster, faster. So top of the round, Troy the lizard man is going to... That's why I was kind of like...

[01:19:15] I was smirking earlier when he was like, Troy's gonna be a eel. Troy said I was like... Totally new. Yeah. Apparently we did. So yeah, Troy is going to lash out at... He's gonna lash out at the closest person which I'm guessing was probably John.

[01:19:40] No, I was standing right in front of him. I was there putting hands on him to heal him. That's fair, yeah. You healed the guy who was supposed to be killing. We were about to be killing. I wanted to make it a fair fight.

[01:19:53] He was full of health. Yeah, he made himself appear because he's a shame character. He appeared like it was health. He comes at you with a... Trying to bite your head off basically. Literally tries to bite your head off. He's taller than all of us right now.

[01:20:11] Yeah, he towers like a head over. The tallest one of you guys I think is Marcelo. Yeah, probably a good bet. He's like 7'6". Easyrollin'discop.com Really? Double crit. I mean it's really cute. 11? No. Yeah, okay.

[01:20:36] Well he's gonna try his biting at you and get some of the shots. You might actually flinch out of the way, but he then comes at you with a talent with some wicked looking talents. Basically the claws on his arms or on his hands are all velociraptor claws.

[01:20:52] All of them? Yeah. They're just hook-cycled. Why does he pick up anything? He shapeshifts it into a normal... He shapeshifted. How does he send e-mails? He shapeshifted into a... That one's gonna be a 15? No. Also 15? Okay. Then next up is a cultist. I'm in full plate armor. Yeah.

[01:21:18] Next up is one of the cultists. He is going to... It's made of beer flakes. Yup. He's going to shoot... He's gonna... This one's closest to John, so he's gonna be shooting John. And click! He's gonna reload it first. Yeah, so he goes in and chants the...

[01:21:38] The shark dread dance. It's like that scene at the beginning of the fifth element when the tweaker shows up at Corbin Dallas' house with the fucking crazy shotgun with the double magazine sticking out the sides. And he's like, well you need to hit that button on the...

[01:22:05] Do you want me to get it for you? Alright, give me the cash! He just pulls it. Like the magazine's falling. I think he just grabs the gun and puts it down to his head. He's like, you take it. Ah, I don't need it! I don't need it!

[01:22:22] That's a really nice hat. You like it? Love that scene. I love that movie. It's so good. It's definitely second only to Planet Night Rush. Obviously, because that is your favorite movie ever. Filled with nostalgia from your childhood. At this point in it,

[01:22:44] it's filled with the nostalgia of you arguing with me about... I don't know how it's your favorite movie of all time. Anyway, next on the roster, and that calls us like fucking up so bad, is Jon. Cool. So, you look over, the cultist comes out of the bushes,

[01:23:02] and he's like decked it all in black and stuff. About to fire a gun right at you. Click. Shocked. It doesn't fire. It's like, oh, damn it! Okay. Womp womp. What the hell made that noise? Oh, God's Merlox. Something, Merlox everywhere. Okay. So, yeah,

[01:23:30] I was probably just holding my backpack with my hand in there, like on the gun, because I didn't know what was going on, so I just unzipped it a bit more, dropped it out, snapped the gun open,

[01:23:38] and attempted to snap his head off with some shots to the face. Nice. I don't remember the full auto rules in this game. I thought I had them written down, but I don't seem to. You needed a quick card for that. Spell card for a full auto.

[01:23:51] Yeah, basically. Here it is, Dad. Kids don't believe me that the song with 12 Days of Christmas that every day is actually about birds. Okay. No. Mades and Leap with Dancers? They are all birds. Five golden rings? It's not five golden rings. It's five ring-necked pheasants. Oh. Drummer's drumming?

[01:24:23] It's roughed crouse. They're all birds. It's birds the whole way through. There's a lot of like holiday, English holiday poems and songs that have to do with birds. Because also when that song was written, it was inappropriate to give golden rings for any gift.

[01:24:50] But a ring-necked pheasant is a great gift. It's from back when a single orange was an appropriate Christmas present. Single orange, really? Yeah. Interesting. In the early 1900s, an orange was actually considered to be an excellent Christmas gift. Okay, sorry. So yes,

[01:25:22] the way full auto works is I use three, it's not full auto actually because my gun doesn't go full auto. I'm using semi-auto, which I shoot three shots and it gets plus two damage. But it doesn't negate. There's no downside to doing it.

[01:25:35] Basically aside from the use of extra ammo. So, you're shooting the cultist? The guy who attempted to shoot me. Is it plus two damage or plus two dices damage? Plus two damage. Okay. I'm sorry. I asked because of the way that Shadowrun, not Shadowrun, but

[01:25:54] it's Cthulhu D20 and Urban Arcana worked. It's plus two damage. Okay. That one. Okay. That's a great work in this. Fifth condition rules. So you get to double your dice or you get to double the result of the dice, but you have to decide beforehand.

[01:26:13] So you can double the amount of dice that you're rolling for damage or you can roll the amount and double it. Yeah, so basically doubling the dice is increasing my minimum. Yes. Okay. I'll just do the minimum. That's this, which is these

[01:26:30] right here. These bullet dice oddly enough. I don't know if you see any instant glue or something like that. I'm going to bring new ones. I have five of those bullet dice. This is the Capsa Fog, one of the tips of falling off. Those two aren't good.

[01:26:48] The two that weren't bullet dice, those weren't good. I'll bring you to really glue the next time. Okay. That'll be the new year, I think. Or not the new year. Just before New Year. Before New Year. 29. So I should have doubled my result, not my dice.

[01:27:05] I would have done way more damage, but regardless, it's total of 12. Okay. Yeah, he's not liking that at all. He's not quite dead yet, but... Wait, he's a werewolf? No. Oh, you said he's not liking that at all. Yeah, he's not a werewolf. No, he's not.

[01:27:25] Yeah, he's definitely like, oh God, I'm just like... We've got shot, not a good day. First his shotgun jammed, and then he just took a bunch of bullets to the chest. I believe that's all I can do. I'm going to turn this side from

[01:27:42] potentially move out of melee combat, because I'm close to him who's about to get meleeed, or was meleeed. Yeah. Am I actually threatened? Because I was right beside him and he's in melee? Yeah. That's right, or no? Sorry? I'm beside him. He just got attacked in melee.

[01:28:01] Am I threatened? He just got attacked in melee. Like he's currently in melee, and he's within... He's adjacent to him. I don't think so. Unless the creature has reach. He does have, I think, a 10 for reach. Oh, that's right. Okay.

[01:28:20] So then is a disengaged action a full action or a bonus action? It's a movement action. No, it's a... Unless you're a... Unless your class gives you disengage as a bonus action. But then it's a standard action. I thought it was a move action. No.

[01:28:41] No, it's your action. Am I provoking by using a ranged weapon in melee then? No. Because you don't provoke attacks of opportunity like that in 5th edition unless they have a feat that makes it provoking that lets them do it as an attack of opportunity. Okay.

[01:29:01] Then I'm done for my turn. And next up is going to be Jacob. So you're hearing... You hear like a hissing sound and some roar and some like, commotion outside and then some gunshot. Some good fire. Sorry guys, you'll have to bear with me for a moment.

[01:29:18] And then I'm going to kick the door closed. Okay. And then I'm going to smash through the door as a brown bear with a hat. With a hat! Smoking the peeve. Only you can prevent floors fires or I'll fucking kill you. That's right.

[01:29:34] I'm way more intense in person. They told me down for this commercial. To appeal to the kids. The kids. And I'm going to go after the closest... Cultist? Cultist. Okay. I assume he's within 40 feet. Yeah, the other two were like...

[01:29:54] Basically the other two are like behind these guys like they kind of were in an ambush situation. Okay. And but unfortunately now you have... Now you're like next to them. So that's fine. I'm a bear. You are. I can... This is barely a problem. Barely an inconvenience.

[01:30:15] Rocks falling down. Can I actually get a pump? Okay, so I need four night ten. I'm in... Ten is 21. Six is 27. Plus 12. 29, 39. So I have 39. Hmm. Okay. Alright, so I'm going to attack the first one. I get multi-attack. Okay. One with my bite and one with my claws.

[01:31:02] Your claws. My claws. Okay, so bite to the one on my left. Okay. Um... So 12 plus 6 to hit. So 18 to hit. Uh, I think that will hit. Just check here. Oh yeah, little hit. Okay. Diet plus four. So that's nine. Okay, so nine damage from the first. Okay.

[01:31:38] You don't like that at all. And then I'm going to swipe to the one on the right. Okay, okay, and that's okay. So... Hmm-hmm-hmm. Uh, 16 to hit. Uh, 16 to hit will hit. Okay, and that's uh... Two die six plus four. Okay. Uh, seven damage. Okay. Okay. Um...

[01:32:30] Oh, and I already used my bonus action to turn into a brown bear, so that's it for me. Okay. Uh, so next up is the cultist that you just bit, or on the left. He is going to reel around and fire Shuck and blast at the bear.

[01:32:47] Point blank to a giant brown bear. I feel like you should take advantage on that. He could uh, he could make a... He should make a um, a will save. No. I mean, he wouldn't probably be shooting his pants.

[01:33:03] Have you ever seen a 12 foot grizzly three feet from you? He's good. 18. Because... Yeah. We got here. Uh, 14? No. Okay. So he did shit himself? Yeah. Or he just like... He got bit by the bear. So he's like, he's a little... He's a little off his game.

[01:33:44] He's a little off his game. Um, next up is Marcel. Finally, you're right in this thing's grill. It's giant like basically a reptilian humanoid with like a, a vipers like head. And to think, I was the trouble of healing you. It was much appreciated. Heavenly strike. Let's see.

[01:34:17] Uh, Heavenly strike? I may spend 1 to 3 anima dice to add that amount of weapon-flavored blinding light. 1 to 3 anima dice. Oh, and this guy has a weak, it's a weak, he has a weak damage. And blessed weapons. I figured it would be. Uh...

[01:34:37] What does that do when they have a weakness? What does that do again? When a monster has a weakness to something? It means that they take double damage from it. Okay. But I miss. You've missed? I'm pretty sure 9 doesn't hit you. No, that definitely does not. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:34:58] You climb down on the power it like, it like, he looks up like like like prepping and then like the camera just suddenly shifts over like a 5 feet and looks over and the blast hits that. It's like, damn it. Just smirks. Alright. That's your go? That's my turn.

[01:35:15] Alright. The cultist that was, did you bite the second cultist there, uh, Aaron? Or was that a... I bit the first one and I slashed the other one with my claws. That's what I thought. Okay, yeah. The one that you slashed on the right.

[01:35:28] He's getting his shotgun out and going to fire. Fire. You missed. Uh, this one's gonna get a 17. That will hit. Okay. Uh, that is gonna be 39 damage. No. Uh, that's gonna be 7 damage piercing. That's it? Yeah. It's your shotgun. It's just a shotgun.

[01:36:11] Uh, does that maybe not have resistance to piercing? I don't think so. I don't think I have any resistances. Okay, no. Mage armor on though? I do. I do and that puts my AC up to 16 currently. Okay, so in this game, Mage armor just increases your AC.

[01:36:31] Which is the way that it always was. Oh, I'm thinking of the Agathis armor. Yeah. It just gives you an extra pool of damage to go through first. Yeah. Okay. So, you're gonna get a little bit of damage here. Yeah, that's what he does. He just like, ka-blam!

[01:36:51] And you're just like, mh. And then he shits himself. Okay. Okay. Top of the round, Troy is going to try and bite you again to start off. Come here, kill me! So, it'll become lost for a brief moment. Um, that's gonna be... Come here. Like 20... Kill me! 25? Nope.

[01:37:22] What? Yes. You son of a bitch! Well no, when I use a spell and I miss on the attack, it gives me a plus 10 to my armor class for the next round. I wish. Don't you have the shield spell? I do. So, that is gonna be... Okay.

[01:37:44] 12 damage for the first bite. For the first bite. And then he is going to start slashing at you with his talons while he's biting down. Oh, maybe I should have been biting this guy. Let them bite! Um, so that's gonna be...

[01:38:07] You could have recorded it 20 on YouTube for the use. So... Oh no, this is 2D10, not 2D6. You could have recorded it, put it on YouTube for the use. Bear versus whatever the hell it is. Bear versus Godzilla or bear versus Raptor. 16 damage from slashing.

[01:38:39] So, you're just getting chomped on and then slashed at. So, I think I'm bloody now. Next up is a cultist that was attacking John... Or, yes, attacking John. He is going to... He has cleared his gun and he's going to fire.

[01:39:03] He actually bothered to rack it this time? Yeah, yeah, that's what happened. He got too gun-happy and didn't rack it properly. Now this is starting to roll better. It doesn't really die. So, that's going to be 18? Yep. Two shotguns hitting a cone?

[01:39:34] Because you're firing these as if they're rifles. So, shotguns... At this range it's basically a rifle. Yeah. Here's the thing, all I had... It didn't really give me a cone or anything like that. It didn't say anything about a cone.

[01:39:49] It's just a range weapon, 2D8 piercing, range 30 or 220. So, I don't think shotguns in 5E have a cone or anything like that specifically. Whatever works, I don't know. Yeah, I haven't checked it.

[01:40:06] And I mean, honestly, it never really made sense for them to be a cone attack anyway. If anything, it should be a line attack. Because shotguns don't spread out 10 feet or 15 feet over a 60 foot range. But video games say that they do. That's a video game.

[01:40:25] I know, I know. At 100 yards with my shotgun, the spread is only like this. Yes. It's not very big. That's a line attack. It's not even 5 feet across. 8 damage from bullets. Grumble it. Technically from shot. 8 damage, sir? Yeah. God damn us for putting realism to guns.

[01:40:49] Yes, how dare you. How dare. How dare you. Okay, so next up is John. No? Yeah. Oh, sorry, I thought he just went. Oh, I think that's shot. I just thought. Being shot is way too big. He doesn't get to go twice. That's not the rules. Not fair.

[01:41:13] What are you skipping me? Okay, so don't like this guy. He's an asshole. I'm going to point at him. Call him an asshole. You're an asshole. Audio. Hunter's mark on him. Okay. And... Puts his foot up on a log, starts singing. A S S H O L E.

[01:41:34] Turns out he has Bartik Wohl, or like Bartik inspiration. Fuck. We have a monster just going to shoot him again. I want a Dennis Leary Bard in the next DB game. Oh my god. Yone's hole, Yone's hole. Just like a mark or like tagging enemies.

[01:41:55] A S S H O L E. To the audience who can't see it, I was like... On every letter I was pointing at something random. As if pointing at different targets. Yes. I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane.

[01:42:14] A lot of people behind me are going insane. I'm rolling the handle. I use public toilets and piss on this seat. I walk down into summer going how about this seat? 17. 17? Yes. Cool. Damage. Dave's done with this bullshit. Five, six, seven, eight, nine... Parking my car in his...

[01:42:47] I forgot to add these bonuses. Fuck. Andy Cap people, big Andy Cap fans. 14 damage. As I go pop, pop, pop and hit him again. How does he die? Do you want to adjust one of the head? It's too easy. Does he just like Italian mook? Like action mook?

[01:43:16] No, like you just shot me. You went to rack the gun. The first shot hits the side of the gun and the gun comes up and hits him in the face and like turns it sideways. And it goes off. And blows his own brain down. Yes, that.

[01:43:31] That exactly. So you shoot him so that he shoots himself? Yes, I made him redirect it and then the next shot came through and it bounced off the inside of the trigger guard back into the trigger guard. Oh my God.

[01:43:49] His head just only blows away and then just like... Ross. What was that movie? The bullet train. The one that came out during the pandemic. Oh yeah, bullet train. Yeah. And he's an assassin who doesn't even mean to kill people but it just keeps happening. Nice.

[01:44:16] That's basically what happened. Yeah. Yeah, that guy just goes down. I didn't mean to do that that way but I guess that works. And then I'll use my bonus action to move my hunter's mark to the big man. Okay. Actually how many little men are there?

[01:44:32] There are two being mauled behind me. Cool, okay. You look back and it's like, hang on, he's got this. Then you look back and I'm like holding into a boat to throw it at the other guy and I'm like no, bear has him.

[01:44:46] You do see your other friend being like chomped on and slashed. Yeah. But yeah, Jacob. Okay. Right. I'm going to roar in the one's face that shot me and hopefully I start to smell some urine. Sure. And he's getting a bite this time. 12 plus 6 is 18. 18, that'll hit. Okay.

[01:45:14] And that's a die 8. Oh it rolled an 8. Okay, plus. 4. So 12 piercing damage. How do you kill him? Well, I turn my head sideways and I go for the throat and the whole head just falls off. Honestly, you shoot a grouse and it falls to the ground

[01:45:43] but it's still like kind of like you got to finish the job. So Kyle picks them up and swings them around once really quick and it just breaks their neck and they're done. Jesus. I tried to do the same thing like five times

[01:45:59] and the same thing happened to me every time. The head came off in my hand and the bird went flying. You worried it with extreme bridges. I had just a little too much gusto on the swing. I don't think we'll find it.

[01:46:20] So what I'm hearing is all of your grouse were like battered, slightly battered from the fall. Honestly not too bad. They usually wind up roasting this room. I haven't battered. I've had bruised. But yeah, I turn my head sideways, take a bite, whole head just pops off.

[01:46:40] So then I turn to the other one. I'm going to take a couple of swipes with my claws there. You still holding the head of the other guy in your jaws? Or did you drop it? No, it popped off as rolling that way. Oh, I see. Okay.

[01:46:56] 14 and 6, so a total of 20. That'll definitely hit. Okay. So that's two by six. Six and four is 10. Okay. How'd he kill him? Okay. Well, the first claw goes straight across the belly. Let's the bowels fall right out. Gross.

[01:47:34] Then the second one just grabs him by the back of the head and puts it straight in the dirt. Okay. Okay. And then I turn and growl towards the El Raptoro. Okay. Speaking of Marcella. All right, so I'm going to use my bowels to actually regain 12 hit points.

[01:47:53] Okay. Is he El Raptoro? He said speaking of because he's the one being attacked by El Raptoro. And then I'm going to try my Heavenly Smite again. Okay. Let's see if I roll a little better. This time you shall suffer my wrath. Wrath. 19. 19 will do it. All right.

[01:48:21] One of these times we're going to play a game and I'm going to play a Southerner. One of these. Okay, I'm going to go full on... It's going to be Adam. Maybe. Well, Adam's Appalachian. Well, I was going to adopt the justified accent. Oh, so Appalachian. Yeah.

[01:48:37] Because literally that's like the counting down from ourselves about it. Ooh, that's a good start. 8, 12, 16, 17, 21 radiant damage. Damn. He's not like that at all. But he is still up but he is burn... He is sizzling a little bit. Okay.

[01:49:02] Oh, also he's got to make a constitution save or he's blinded. Right. Constitution he said? Yeah. Nine? No. So he's blind for... How long is that, last? Until the end of his next turn. Okay. Alright, well, top of the round. It's Troy's turn. So Troy is going to...

[01:49:29] He actually lets out a violent stunning screech. And you all need to roll a constitution saving throw for yourselves. I think that number is good for me but 12? Yeah. Oh, for 12? Yeah. Four? Okay. What about... Brown Bear. Plus three. You smelly. You smelly.

[01:50:01] Let's have my cat have bed prep. You stink. 22? So you're... So John or Jacob as a brown bear is the only one not stunned until the end of the lizard's next turn. Dammit. Everyone else... Yeah, you guys take the stunned status. Which means we can't act?

[01:50:25] I believe that's what that means. She doesn't have a... Oh, there is. Stunned creature is incapacitated. See the condition. Can't move or can't... And can speak only falteringly. The next... The creature automatically feels strengthened deck saving throws. Attack rolls against the creature has advantage.

[01:50:45] So that's what he does with his first action. And then the next thing he is going to do is just slash... Is going to slash at Marcell here. But he is blind. Yes. So that's a disadvantage. But attack rolls get advantage when attacking.

[01:51:11] Wait, can he do both of those types of attacks? He has two attacks. He has multi attacks. So he can... So usually the multi attack specifies which two attacks it is. Like mine specifies as a brown bear that it's my bite and my claws. So we can't...

[01:51:31] Okay, because the stunning creature is not part of that... Is not mentioned in the multi attack. So then that is a full attack action. Okay. Unless it specifies that... It basically gets an innate spell. Okay, so then yeah, that would be his attack action.

[01:51:48] But he still has his movement and bonus action. Okay. Unless that ability specifies it's a bonus action in which case he still has his attack action. It doesn't say. Although that might explain why like it says they're stunned until the end of the lizard's next turn.

[01:52:04] So he gets a round to make use of it. Also it gives his allies an opportunity to use it. That he has a nine. Actually, he looks around after you're doing that. But we can't see... He does that turn but...

[01:52:20] So everybody got him and then just bodies on the ground bleeding. Yeah. But he... Yeah, I guess he'll wait till this turn or like he'll just... He's in trouble. Like necessarily because he's blind for now. Okay. So yeah, that's his turn.

[01:52:37] He causes two of your teammates to be stunned but you managed to... You just got some tinnitus. I thought he managed... No, he was going to... You passed? Yeah, he was like a 14. But yeah, so I guess next up is going to probably just be Jacob.

[01:52:59] Because John can't do anything. So yeah, Jacob. Okay, well I'm going to move around behind him. Because I assume I can do that within 40 feet. Yeah. Roll a stealth because he's blind but he can still hear. Aka if he hears you, you're not going to be behind him.

[01:53:23] He's saying that he's able to turn. Sorry, I'm moving into a flanking position with him. So I'm going to move directly opposite him from Amin's character. Whether Lizard Man is looking at you or not is irrelevant. Yes. Okay. I don't care if I'm actually behind him. Yes.

[01:53:43] I'm not... I don't get sneak attack. None of that matters. I got you. Okay, then yeah. All right so you move. Yeah. I don't think I provide flanking while I'm in capacity. No, it doesn't matter. I'm not looking for that. I'm just moving into a tactical position.

[01:53:58] We'll have it next turn. This is assuming I don't have right kill him this round. You assume a lot. I did smack him one real good one. Okay, so with my teeth, I rolled a four so that's a total of 10. That does not hit.

[01:54:17] But he's blind so do I get to do this at advantage? You do get advantage because he's blind. Well... You're attack attacked. Okay, let's try that again a little more gently. I'm assuming Hunter's Mark is just for my damage. Just for you.

[01:54:36] So I figured it's one double check. That's much better. I rolled a 16 plus six or 22. Okay, that hits. Okay, so that's a die eight plus four. Eight plus four is 12. Total damage? Yep. Okay. So I bite him for a good 12. Yep, doesn't like it.

[01:55:00] And then I get to go at him with the claws. Okay. I'll roll an advantage while I'm waiting for that. Lululu, what you doing buddy? 17 and 6 is 23. It's 23 to hit. Okay, 23 to hit. Okay. I feel like that hack was directly underneath the mic. Everyone's the loudest ones ever.

[01:55:38] Four and one is five plus four is nine from my Klaus. Okay. Yeah, your slacks on Adam. It's not going as thick as you'd hope. Okay? Like it's not doing as much damage as you'd like. Okay, I'm gonna spend an anime dice for two more unarmed attacks. Really?

[01:56:05] Yeah. Okay, so first unarmed attack. I'm just gonna straight roll these. Make your life a little better. I appreciate it. 14 and 6 is 20. Okay that is. Okay. So that's only a dice six of damage but I get to add my bear strength modifier.

[01:56:27] So that's three and four is seven. So it's seven from the first claw, which is really more of a paw smash. Yeah. It's not slashing damage. Slap the bludgeoning. And give him a paw, not a claw. 15 hit? 15 will not hit. Okay. Yeah.

[01:56:56] Okay, well I gave him pretty good. Yep. But Marcel you can't do anything so the top of the round again. And we're back to Troy. And Troy is going to... When does that blindness go away? The end of my next turn.

[01:57:17] Okay so the end of this round basically. But you are still stunned and while he has been attacked by something behind him. I guess I should do odds or reasons when he reacts to B3. Really? He's just going to throw them more aggressively.

[01:57:42] No no like it's rolling nonstop force. Then take it, it's meant to be. No I can't, I need one two three. Oh. Trying to decide who's he attacking. There we go Jesus. He's attacking Marcel still. I guess because, so he's blind but he's stunned. So he pulls out?

[01:58:08] It's a wash. Alright. Got here. Unless he has Trevor sense or blind. Oh shit I didn't even fucking check that hang on. He does, he has true sight and yeah he has true sight. True sight just lets you see through illusions. Alright. 25. Yep. Okay.

[01:58:39] So this is a bite he's doing so he's just chomping down. Good with disadvantage? You roll a 25 with disadvantage? Yeah. Well he takes disadvantage, true. But anybody who's stunned, you're stunned. So basically it's a wash. That's going to be five damage. 39 damage. 39 damage.

[01:59:10] And then I'm going to roll again because it's a second attack. He gets another shot. He does. And that one's going to be a 24. Okay that one's going to be 2d10s. His next attack is going to be a 23. Is that it? Oh shit that's 14 from the Talons.

[01:59:35] But that is his turn. So I am bloody to game. You are now, I think you guys are now no longer stunned because it's the end of his turn. Yes. So. John you are unstunned. Am I? Yeah. Okay. You're like, ah, ah.

[01:59:54] As I shake my head and gather the situation how much blood is on him? He's quite people. How bloody do you think? I'm bloody to your place. I am not. He's getting like, this thing is just biting and slashing at him in like a fury. Okay. Furry.

[02:00:14] I am just covering Templar crimp. No, tend to be a scaly. Mm-hmm. How does it feel, Aaron? Okay. What? To be corrected by accurate information? I appreciate it. You need some bamboo. And some diamonds. And some salt peeter.

[02:00:33] You just pack it all together and then you shoot this gorn right in the face like your Captain Kirk. That's what the music should play like you're going to tag a da, da, da, da, da, da. Pretty much, yeah. Actually wasn't the fight music for spark?

[02:00:48] Between him and between Kirk and spark? No, that was the gorn. The spark is different. Okay. Okay, so either way I will kill you because you look like you're having a hard time. How much of a hard time does the gorn have? He looks fine.

[02:01:04] He looks like he's got like some scratch wounds and some like burns but he doesn't look like he's going down any time soon. Mm-hmm. Also I love that you guys have nicknamed him now for gorn. That was his name is Tony. Troy. Troy, Tony. So Trevor.

[02:01:24] It's a keep calling different names. Well it's like the Star Trek card of the series. It's like the Stargate SG-1 thing. It's like what's your name? It's like my name is blah, blah, blah, blah. So John. They just give him like simple human names. Yeah.

[02:01:42] Some of the aliens. That's a smart thing to do. Okay, so. Shit I forgot. I should have been doing something else. Doesn't matter. I will try to give you a little heal. It's probably not going to do much.

[02:01:57] I don't think healing word can be cast at higher levels, right? I don't believe. It's your game. I haven't been marking whether I can or not. Shalady, Thornwood, Currycloth, Mending, Priestling, Good. It's healing word.

[02:02:15] If you cast a spell using a spell slot if the second level is higher, the healing increases by 1-4 for each spell slot above first. Okay. So then I'll try it on a second level spell slot. Okay, so two of these.

[02:02:33] Both aren't going to be good, but that's fine. Alright. So that is three. Six. Total of 10 damage healing back to you. Yay. As a bonus. I'm not quite bloody anymore. Not as bloody, yes. Alright, bloody used to be a condition. On the important condition. Yes.

[02:03:08] I still regard it as one. If this is Secret World, and I'm using a saw rifle on him healing, I'm assuming it's a healing bullet situation with magic. Yeah. Don't worry, I got you. Yeah, I got you.

[02:03:22] I pull open the chamber on the saw rifle and just like throw some magic in the chamber and just close it on him. Like pull the mag, close it so there's just magic in there and then shoot the magic. It's really just cocaine. Yeah. Either way. Cocaine bear.

[02:03:40] No, no, he didn't kill him. Wrong bear. Did she watch that movie? No, I watched it on some fan. That was pretty good though. You know there's a shitty cash grab movie called Cocaine Shark. Yeah, I saw that movie.

[02:03:55] I saw that movie, I did not see that movie. It's probably on Tully, isn't it? It's on a lot of things. Regardless, that's my most action out of the way. And for my next trick, he's going to turn one.

[02:04:10] Kind of want to see if we just put this guy down to guiding bold. Guiding bold to good spell. It is a good spell. But I don't think it's that good. Should I be saving some magic for later?

[02:04:26] Because this is just like the surprise cockfags that you have to... Yeah, these are guys that people fighting those eels yet. If we even have to fight them. So I'll try to save a little bit. You're not quite dead, you're still a massive bear.

[02:04:40] I'm just shooting the bullets. I'm not dead yet. Because I don't think I have... I don't know enough about him to know if he's weak to acid or fire or resistant to... Well, you could roll an arcana. Sure, I'll do that.

[02:04:57] To get a sense of what he is. Is that all my arcana has got, damn. That's fine. I love how I'm a mage. And I mostly just turn into animals. You're a druid. Yeah, you really should have... You definitely fault... You definitely are sidelining with the...

[02:05:17] The minds of Avalon. I think you're just a furry. That's what it is. You started out your mage quest to become a furry. Well, he hasn't gotten there yet because he just turns into animals. He doesn't turn into humanoid animals yet. That's the next tier. Either way, 7.

[02:05:36] 7 to hit? No, to arcana. Oh, arcana to see if I know... He's got a telltale sign of... Between like... He smells of sulfur. He's got kind of a creepy, demonic visage to him. So he's probably a demonic creature from the Hell Dimensions.

[02:05:57] But you've never seen this kind of demon before. He vaguely looks like an oni, but like... He's not an oni. That's about the gist of it. You don't know what kind of classification of demon he is. He's a mibroni. Yeah, I got to hear that. But he's definitely...

[02:06:15] If you had a guess, he's probably from the Hell Dimensions. Okay. Okay, well... I'm just gonna shoot him with bullets, like I said. Because I don't know what else is gonna happen in this adventure. I wanna save a little bit of magic.

[02:06:33] So I'll put the mag back in, close the bolt, and shoot him through it three times and see if I can hit him. Okay. Total of 21. Assuming that hits to 1. Bullet. Cool. And then this is bullet damage, and this is 100 mark damage.

[02:06:56] And I'll get another plus 1 because he's injured, and he'll have a thing for that. Or that guy... Total of 20? Uh, 20? Yes. Total of 20 damage? Yes. Oh damn. I actually rolled well on damage for once. Okay. Um... Yeah. So, it takes the bullets just kind of like...

[02:07:28] Just takes them like a champ. Yeah, not even flinching much. Just put them right in his chest and just like... He grins. Like he gulped. Like... Like he clearly like the damage is like... He did damage? Yeah. But it's like not doing...

[02:07:45] You were hoping for a lot more. Okay. And he doesn't seem quite perturbed yet. He's been moved action to just slowly back towards the van. Yeah, this guy's... He just smiles at you guys. It's just like... Tis-tis. Um... So, when did we get Anima Day's back?

[02:08:06] Is that on a short rest or a long rest? I think it's on a short... I had to double check. I believe it's a short rest. Yeah. Jacob. Yakk'em. Yeah, Yakk'em. Oh no! I think I died! I was like waiting for it.

[02:08:26] Yeah, now I'll make two visit here. And he's the good brother. He's such a good brother. Alright, let's start off with a bite. 16? 16 will not hit. Okay. Oh! Is he still blind? No. No, at this point he's done. Yeah. The end of my turn, he could gain sight.

[02:08:58] Yeah. For now. Oh, wait, then he does still have... He's still blinded. Yes. Yeah, so he's still blinded. Okay, so then I get to do an advantage. Oh, I haven't gone yet. Yeah, sorry. You're actually the last on the total bowl here. Natural 20. Nice. Okay.

[02:09:22] So, right, I don't have to roll to confirm. I just have to roll damage. I'm gonna roll my dice twice. That's not gonna count because it's on the floor. Seven. And five. So 12 plus four, 16. 16, okay. 16 from my bite. Then I get to follow it up with a claw.

[02:09:49] Yes, you do, you do. So I bite the one shoulder. I put my paw on the other shoulder. I'm gonna try to like, rend down him. Okay. With my beastly bear claws. Hopefully he likes donuts. Tiger claw. That's a 17. That's an eight.

[02:10:20] So we'll go with the 17 plus six is 23. Okay, little hit. Okay. Two guys, six damage. Six and a four. 10 plus four is 14. Okay. He is, again, taking this shit all in pretty good stride. Like you're doing damage to him, but he's still like, up and about.

[02:10:51] As is the story of my life. We are fighting monstrous creatures that are resistant to normal damage. So as a, as an animal, I do half as much damage as my badass damage. Bad ass damage says it is. Yeah, sorry. I know, I know that's been.

[02:11:08] So you could turn back to a mage and like, set his ass on fire. The thing is that I have a huge pool of hit points when I'm a bear. Yeah. You know what I see? You use some of them instead of making me use all of them.

[02:11:19] I'm trying to get his fucking attention to pick him up. He's gonna start attacking you now. Like I mean, honestly, to this guy specifically, I have done like, You do a lot. 60 points. No, like closer to 70 points of damage.

[02:11:34] But by one good shot already, it's probably more actual damage to him. Why don't you try grappling him? Well, I bit him and I rent him with the one claw. Can I grapple? Yeah, you can grapple him, yeah. Okay. You've rent- yeah, you've got two like good mailing.

[02:11:49] I think that's an opposed strength check. Yeah, I think you're right. This really doesn't feel like you're erring right now. 22. 22? So you're doing strength checks and grapples and mailing constantly? Yeah, well my strength is only really good because I'm a bear. Which I am because I'm a mage.

[02:12:11] So that's gonna be a- So what around about my hand? Okay, so you have- So I rode that bitch to the ground. Yeah. There you go. Yeah, so like you're biting him on the shoulders and then like just using your weight to push him down. Bring him down.

[02:12:26] Okay. Yeah. You need an adult, thank you. So he's just on the ground, grappled and I'm gonna hit him with my big hammer. Yeah, Marisa, Marcella, you're up. Right in the face. Nice. Are you gonna do it with like a croquet mallet?

[02:12:47] I think- I thought he was gonna like bring it down or are you gonna do the croquet way? You want me to put the hammer down? Overhand strike directly into the face. Drive him into the dirt. With all three of my last anime days

[02:13:03] you do all call shots at disadvantage. If you're already fighting at disadvantage then called shots are impossible. What if you're fighting at advantage already? That's bullshit. Because attacking and controlling out. But you can still do the call shot. 11, 15 radiant damage. What's the benefit of it? 15 radiant damage.

[02:13:23] His face goes into a crater and there's dust coming up and everything. When the dust starts settling to that his face is unsmushed. He just looks at you and you're like Is that the best you got? That's so Dragon Ball Z. If you were fighting a zombie

[02:13:45] where you had to score a headshot but they only got 15 hit points or something and you did a call shot on the head GM's discretion if you succeeded on your call shot it's a headshot. The zombie's done. But it's also how you would do things

[02:14:02] like shooting a rope to drop a chandelier on somebody or shooting a weapon out of somebody's hand or any of those things. So on his turn he's like he's like you pathetic mammals this world is not you're not worthy of a world you and your pathetic creatures

[02:14:27] we will dominate you. He says while being pinned to the ground and thoroughly dominated my bear character is getting incredibly erect. He attempts to have a very different mass scenario. No, no. I'm killing you now. So that's what he says.

[02:14:53] But then he starts attacking and biting on the bear. So starting with the bite. I assume it does evade him because he's grappled. A grappled creature's speed is zero and can't benefit from any bonuses on speed. The condition ends and the grapple is incapacitated the condition also ends

[02:15:13] if an effect removes the grappled creature from reach. Doesn't say anything about disadvantage or advantage one. I think the basic rule of thumb is that if he wanted to attack with his hands he would have to break the grapple first. But because he's using a bite attack

[02:15:31] I'm not occupying we're not making out. You're basically just wrestling each other on the ground. Well, I mean my teeth are wrapped over his shoulder. Yeah, and so he's going to bite in kind into your shoulder. Oh darn. That is going to be a 30-20. Yeah, that'll hit.

[02:16:00] So really you're just necking. You just have to give each other really nasty wickies. That's going to be 9 damage for the bite. And then he is going to attack with the talons. Is he going to break the grapple first? Nope. He is going to continue attacking you.

[02:16:23] How's he doing that? With his claws. They're hugging. Yeah, they're... I guess he can... He's going to try and break the grapple then. So that's an opposed strength check. Yeah. You got to be a 10. So how is everybody's day? It's pretty good. It's good. Oh, I hate it. 21.

[02:16:59] He still got him in the grapple. He tries to break out. Just back to the ground. Yeah. I took 9 you say? Yup. The visual of a bear headbutting a lizard man. Yeah. Next up is John. Okay. So yeah. A brown bear versus a lizard man. So me, Gorn.

[02:17:27] Yeah, brown bear versus Gorn. So me shooting. I'm potentially hitting the male. You're 100% shooting in the male. Yeah, I don't want to hit Mr. Bear. Okay. But magic? Would I be potentially hitting? Or does that... Or is it like yet? I don't know. Probably not. Like realistically,

[02:17:48] you shooting a gun at him or me throwing a fireball or whatever it is. That's the same thing. Yeah. I think it depends. What spell are you thinking about using? Because magic missile always hits. That's true. If you're using shocking grasp, that's a melee touch attack.

[02:18:07] Which unfortunately, unlike a taser, I feel like the person that's grappled to the creature is also going to get zapped. No, I mean he's on the bottom. So he's the grounded one. So yeah, okay. I might take a little incidental. I'd say like half.

[02:18:26] Give me resistance to get it? That makes sense. Because I know that actually, strangely in real life, if you taste somebody who's being grappled, the person who's grappling does not actually get zapped. No, you taste the two darts are arcing towards each other. Yeah. Oddly enough,

[02:18:43] I found that from an RPG game that the RPPR crew ran. Now if you only hit them with one dart and the other one hit the ground, then it would travel through the person to the ground. But it would be a much lessened effect. Yeah.

[02:18:58] Now you have to remember the verbal component for shocking grasp in this concept, stop resisting. Yes, of course. As what it should be over. Okay. Is the counter spelled? Don't take it to the row? Yeah, totally. It is. Of course it is.

[02:19:19] Remember she can only get up one, the front to pause. If she is willing to try, I will help her the rest of the way, but if she's not going to put any effort in, then I'm not going to help. But I will move the table

[02:19:32] so that she can have a running go if she wants to try. Go on, Luce. Go. Come on. Come on, Luce. Come on. Let's go, dog. Come on. Nope. Okay. She's like, fuck this noise. Nope. I know I'm on the side of the couch that she prefers, but...

[02:19:54] Yeah. It's an effort to move over. Plus all your stuff's over there. All my stuff is here. Okay. Either way, I don't like this guy bad-mouthing us. I'm just going to guiding bolt his ass. Try to whack him with that. Which is... Is that radiant damage?

[02:20:11] It's a ranged spell attack, which I could potentially miss and hit Mr. Bear with, I guess. I mean... Or does it fizzle when you roll one on magic? I would say if you roll a one, then yeah, you hit me. But if you miss, you miss. Yeah. Okay.

[02:20:33] So no ones. Command, command, command. No ammy, no ammy, no ammy. That's not one. That's a one. It's not. 14? Did a grappled rounded target. He is pinned. Yeah. Yeah, I'll let you out. Yeah. Okay. Cue. Damage is for these guys. Does Hunter's Mark work with magic?

[02:21:09] Or is it just mundane? Yeah. I don't think so. Hex does. I think Hunter's Mark is specifically a weapon. Two mundane damage. Yeah, I think I looked it up for Merrick before. Because I don't really know Hunter's Mark that well. But I'll look at... Up.

[02:21:30] Till the spell ends, you deal extra 1-6 damage to the target whenever you hit with a weapon attack. Okay. Good enough. But I'm hitting him anyways with getting bolt. That's why you use hex. Because hex is like Hunter's Mark, but better. Okay, so that is 14 radiant damage.

[02:22:00] Sorry, radiant damage? How much? 17? 14 radiant damage. Okay. And further attacks on him from anyone I don't go call for duration have advantage. It's the next single. The constitution save for your... When you lasted the radiant thing, right? Yeah, he did.

[02:22:19] Yeah, so you gotta do that for your constitution save. The constitution save is always blinded by the radiant attack. Really? Yeah. Is that always... Is that a weakness? Is that a weakness? That's only his attack. Yeah, I'm like what's going on? Yeah, okay.

[02:22:37] Okay, so now, yeah, I whacked him with the guiding bolt as he's on the ground. I'm assuming I use much of the same way I channel my anime into the gun to fire a guiding bolt at him. Yeah.

[02:22:52] Now hold on, if you're using your weapon as the implement, does that make it a weapon attack? It... I would like it to be, but no. Probably not. As much as I appreciate your gumption, sadly. Okay.

[02:23:10] What I might do is when I'm channeling damage attacks through my gun, I channel it directly through the barrel where I'm normally doing damage. But if it's like support stuff, use the under barrel because I have a grenade launcher on it. Oh, okay.

[02:23:22] So then that's all the auxiliary stuff down there. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do that. Okay, myself. No, sorry, Jacob. Okay. Well, I'm going to continue with the bite. Do I have to actually make an attack roll if I can continue with a bite I'm already holding?

[02:23:39] Probably just like with an easier AC. So just do it with advantage? Yeah. Sorry, my move action, I'm gonna move a little bit closer to the van. Okay. Because he doesn't go down soon, I'll open the van doors. Dave, Dave? Would you like to double check this?

[02:24:02] Yeah, that's a zero two. I was looking at it upside down. Okay, roll this twice. Oh, yay, two. Seven. So nine and four. So 13 bites damage. Okay. All right. Okay. And then my claw attack. So wait, why do you get to do a claw attack but he doesn't?

[02:24:41] He had to like break the grapple. Because you're showing the grapple. That's a good point. That is a good point. If you're doing a claw attack, you are disengaging the grapple. Yeah, that is a good point. Okay.

[02:24:50] So do you wish to disengage the grapple and do a claw attack on it? No. I will counter that though by spending an anime dice and doing two unarmed attacks, which I will flavor as two headbutts to the face. Okay. This beard is going... On this lizard band.

[02:25:09] Okay, so the first headbutt I rolled a 19. Exactly. I rolled a 19 with the first headbutt. Yeah, I rolled one. So that's five damage from the first headbutt. Okay. And second headbutt, which I get to do with a faceage. So how steep... Lucy's actually using her bed down here.

[02:25:50] Now that she can't use her actual bed, the catcher on. Okay. A 19 hit? A 19 will hit. Okay. A six, so that's a total of ten from the second headbutt. Okay. There's a really shimmy one the first time. I got the second one good. He starts laughing just like...

[02:26:17] He's just cackling as you're damaging him and stuff like that. Okay, so bonus action to intimidate. You can try it. Full throttle roar in his face. Sure. That's a 21. I'm not proficient in it but... He stops laughing but it's not because he's like cowed by your roaring.

[02:26:52] It's more just like... He's not afraid but he's taking me more seriously. Yeah. Okay. But yeah, next up is Marcel. Yeah, Marcel, yeah. No, I want to say... Actually, I turned him? Yeah. I can't really say like... No, Maurice. For some reason I see your name.

[02:27:11] Some people call me Maurice. Some people call you Amon. Just don't call me late for dinner. Crickets were pelting over. I've heard that joke recently. Like the other day. I haven't done it. You said it on recording yesterday. Did I? You did with the quote-unquote adults.

[02:27:42] Oh, yeah, it was the joke the creature said, yeah. Yeah, that's exactly where... What's Marcel think? I mean, smoke from the face of my silver hammer. He's like... So like... Boof! Boof! Bwoah! Yep. That was bad though. Jesus. 22 to hit. I mean it's basically like... 10 damage. The Hulk.

[02:28:11] It is bigger but it's also still... Yes. Loki can take the beating. 10 damage? It really sucks for him. He doesn't look well while taking it. You just hear a sickening... It sounds like a sickening crunch and the ground... Again, it smashes into that crater you made earlier.

[02:28:31] And then when the dust settles into some of that, he's just grinning again. He's back up. His hammer is broken. It's like... God, I hope not. You know, but like... You see his face is red or like burning a little...

[02:28:45] or like sizzling from the touch of your hammer. We need to get you a mercury filled hammer. I feel like it's an environmental hazard. Young people are used to inject it into their boxing gloves. Now hold on. Are you using sulfur ammunition? I believe I am or...

[02:29:09] Yeah, because we said that we all use that sort of stuff. Yeah, I've been taking that into account. Unfortunately you're using natural attacks. I got what I got. What type of hammer should get you? It was a hammer. The bear stopped putting on silver brass.

[02:29:27] You guys should like get to... You should like requisition some custom like... like silver false... Flaw snails to go over. Yeah, yeah, some sort of like basically like a bear gauntlet. Okay, no, no. What I need is a cubro helmet. Oh, so you're going to turn it on?

[02:29:49] No, it's got like the spikes and shit on it. Like a beak on the front made of silver for when I'm in my wolf form. Or my Newfoundland dog form. I was just gonna say if you're going bear form, do that.

[02:30:03] You're basically just an armored bear from the Golden Compass. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so on the top of the round, so Troy the lizard monster just starts like kind of chuckling again. Or trinket. Yeah. You know you've brought this all on yourselves. You're going to...

[02:30:23] This land will be dominated by the worm. And it's all of your fault. You and your little group of hunters. If anybody wants this bad guy to be... To stop laughing at us, you know just cast Orgy on me. Oh god.

[02:30:43] Sat, fortunately, this game does not have it and I would have vetoed it otherwise. Yeah, yeah. Greatest spell in Shadowrun. Yeah, it's like... The Serpents of Eden will conquer this land through its waters. And then you take some of the bike. Serpents? Or Serpin? Serpents.

[02:31:13] Because he said singular first. I meant Serpents of Eden. Okay, because it sounded like they're focusing on making one awesome one. One super Serpents of Eden. Yeah, it's a Serpents of Eden. Okay. Four feet and legs. Four bar.

[02:31:35] And I take it eight isn't going to do it on the bike? Oh hell no. Alright, he's always going to try and break the gravel. Okay. I think that's going to be a 16? That ain't gonna do it. You gotta be 24. As tears.

[02:31:55] So you're sat there for a sheriff's business pair. Okay, so that's the guy that's turning in. Next up is John. So I've been saying I've been backing up every turn. Yeah, you've been... Yeah, you've been... Have a fun, you're just running. He's 180 feet back now.

[02:32:12] Setting up the bipod. I just really wanted to snipe. No. He's going to spend the next five rounds assembling his bow. Yes. Oh, Shadowrun. Poor poor. That was actually something that happened with Shadowrun. Combat happened, I just really wanted to use the bow.

[02:32:32] It took forever to make, but I finally got to use it. How do you think I hate anybody in that combat? I don't know. Either way, I said I've been backing up. So I'm going to sling my gun on my back

[02:32:46] because I've arrived at the van I would assume right now. You're going to put your head into the van. Okay, I'm gonna open the door, get in, turn the key and leave. No, actually. I'm going to... You're driving to the van and you call up and it's like,

[02:33:03] Hey Jack, initiate order 66. He's like, you guys... You're going to say you're at 69 and drop the Orc Castle bomb. I don't know, I'm just like, The next round you guys can hear me. You're killing it. You're delivering that overhead deep into your body.

[02:33:27] You see this cloud is dirtless and swirl. The eye on Canon is firing up. Yeah, the orbital laugh. Okay, none of that happens, shockingly. But I will open the side door in the Volkswagen bus, get in there, pull down the machine gun, start like crank it over,

[02:33:45] rack it and that's probably the end of my turn. Because he's not dying. So if I get a relatively clean shot, I will start taking them. Yeah, it's just like... Yes. Oh no, it's not while I'm on top. No, no. Just pick up a hole in there like...

[02:34:02] It's a human shield. Human shield? Yeah. A human shield? But it's a 50 BMG so it's going to be like Goku and Raditz. And special beam cannon for Raditz. Why are there so many Dragon Balls you're having today? You get back up in 2D6 rounds. Don't worry about it.

[02:34:22] Plus it was just poppy on a bear form anyway. Well, it's true man. That's true. But anyway, none of this happens. So Jacob you're up. Alright. Alright, well... I'm going to drag him to his feet in a human shield. Alright, this is a strength check. Strength proposal?

[02:34:43] A post strength check, sure, yeah, let's do that. Easy roll, dice cup. Duck up. I don't have to roll very well do I? Okay. I rolled an 8. Wow. It was a close one. Plus 4. So, 12.

[02:35:02] It would have been funnier if there was actually a struggle there for a second as you got him to his feet. Well, I mean I would say that they're close enough in number. Yeah, I had to fight him to get down. There's definitely... Hence why the...

[02:35:14] I barely did it. Alright, Marcel. That's the end of your turn. Alright, so... Yeah, I would say probably. And also he's doing this because I'm sure he heard the loud... So I'm going to step to the side. Good idea. I'm going to wind up. I'm going to say...

[02:35:39] The serpents of Eden can suck out my trouser snake. Just crack him right in the back of the knee. Nice. I'd say if he succeeds this would probably... Yeah, what's the roll? 18. That just hits him? Yeah, that just hits. Perfect.

[02:36:00] I'm going to say on top of the damage this is going to knock him prone into basically taking a knee. Or at least making him like... He's probably prone on his face. You have to go up again. Or worse, like he falls more...

[02:36:14] Like the other bone barrel of the gun. Oh yeah. But no, I got knocked him into a T-bow position. Yeah, I just meant like you basically like... Rendered so he can't stand up on his own. His knee is backwards now. No, no, it's frontwards.

[02:36:31] Probably backwards to start with. Yeah, fucking lizards. 12 damage. 12 damage? Okay. That's hurting. He cries out in a alligator kind of thrum of pain. What do alligators sound like when they scream? It's a reverberating kind of guttural kind of sound. It's actually probably closer to what...

[02:36:53] It's actually the similar sound of what T-Rex might actually sound like. How do you make an alligator scream? It's that low rattling thrum hiss kind of that you hear from crocodiles. In their death throws, I guess. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, that... he hurt me.

[02:37:15] I feel like I'm not enough of a Florida man to know what that sounds like. I think I need to start with. You're probably better off now. Yeah. But yeah, the Marcel, that was your turn. Next up, double around, Troy is going to try...

[02:37:31] He's going to try to do something. He's going to try and break loose. He will be taking disadvantage because he is technically prone. That's going to be 10. What was it? 12. If I rolled the disadvantage, he got an 8 earlier. So it would have been like an 11.

[02:38:04] But yeah, so he tries and... Actually, he's going to try one last time to try and bite your... Literally, it's like to get you with his tail or something. Because he does that. It's still technically have a tail attack. Okay, yeah, the nose tails are pretty strong. 16.

[02:38:24] 16 is my AC. So now his bite, I assume does a die 8. His bite actually does 2d6. Then what's his claws? 2d10. 2d10, yeah. His tail is... Okay, well then his tail should only be like 1d6. Actually it's 2d6. It's static? Yeah. Really? Yep. I pulled this from something.

[02:38:59] I can't remember where I pulled these stats from. But yeah. Usually tails are a very weak attack. A very weak attack compared to the bite, which is usually a creature's primary, and the claws, which are usually a secondary. Yeah, his tail is tend to be like flailing around.

[02:39:17] But his claws are primary. Yeah, his claws... It says that lizard demons have 2 attacks. One with its jaw or tail, and one with its talons. It seems like an echinolus organe, it has a club on its tail. Or just like a whip-like tail.

[02:39:36] Or maybe there's some serration to it or something? I mean if he's an alligator, that's a pretty powerful tail. Yeah. Yeah? It's kind of like a nondescript lizard reptile creature. Like humanoid. My numbers come from standard D&D though. Which is... And that comes from dragon tails.

[02:39:56] Which should be a pretty powerful tail too. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm not saying to do anything other than what you've got written down. You've already got it statted, it makes sense, do it. My god! What did he get? He almost got the max damage.

[02:40:11] 5 out of 6 plus 3. So... 11 plus... 14? So 14 damage from the tail. Okay. So that takes me down to... So I guess his tail is kind of like a whip, it just like bites into your flesh, into your furred flesh. Okay. Well I roar in pain because I'm pretty bloody,

[02:40:32] but I'm still standing. I'm still standing! I mean, have you seen... Something TikTok has made like, it shows from some Warhammer cinematic. Yes! And it's like the observers of the show. It's come up like a thousand times. Does he realize his mic is still open?

[02:40:49] And then he wants the space marine down on the planet, fighting like Tyrannosaurus. I'm still standing! I love it. That is the mood I wanted a Warhammer game honestly. Like 100% that's the mood I want for a space, like some kind of like space marine combat.

[02:41:07] And then the guys in HQ or... I was watching them and they were like, does he realize his mic is still open? Yeah but don't ruin his jam! Alright so that is Jon's turn, that was Troy's turn, so Jon. What am I rolling to shoot this damn thing?

[02:41:26] And also do I still have clean and sharp? Yeah. Okay. I have him in a half Nelson, with my teeth on his shoulder. His knees bent back with them standing on my shield up. His tail is straight through my thigh but... I got him.

[02:41:42] You know what I mean? It's like something he just goes like, alien queen or just goes right through your teeth. I mean it's not quite that bad but... It's pretty close. Yeah it definitely cut through something. Like there's through a limb. Okay. But I got him there.

[02:41:56] He's helpless. Yeah. So you basically just need to roll a ranged attack. Oh wait a minute, he's helpless. He's prone so he has an attack... You get an advantage on it too. I think if he's helpless that makes it an auto crit. I don't know if he's helpless.

[02:42:19] I mean unless he breaks out of my grapple, I will say it like... He's not getting any speed bonus on his AC. Because the grapple, that's the only thing the grapple does. He's also technically prone because he can't move properly on his own. On his own.

[02:42:44] I'm not even emotional. That's the DMG. Oh restraint, that's what he's actually... No, he wouldn't be prone if he restrained. Yes. So yeah basically the same thing, like attack rolls. Against the creature to have advantage and the creature attack rolls are disadvantage.

[02:43:01] And the creature has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws. Oh okay. Well you definitely have advantage on whatever you're doing. Okay. Then I'm gonna shoot him with bullets. Alright I can look up full auto rules now.

[02:43:17] God damn, now that I got that stuck in my head it's like the I'm still standing and just cutting down tyrannids. What size category is your bear form? Large? Is it large? Large beast. Okay. So you guys have been on equal footing for that.

[02:43:50] What does partial cover do? Partial cover? Yes. Plus two in AC. Yeah. Okay so me shooting full auto he has plus two in AC. Okay so you have to roll a 20. Plus two not times two just confirming. Plus two yeah. Okay. Wild restraint?

[02:44:12] Wild restraint the only thing that... 20 AC Wild restraint is what I'm saying. Oh no you're right, you're right. So he wouldn't get his dex bonus. Which I imagine is probably part of... Yeah so it's basically... It's an 18.

[02:44:27] So it's just normally you're basically attacking him with his normal AC. That's fine. Yeah. Okay on hit though because I'm using full auto I double the damage. Double the damage dice rolled against each target. Though not the damage one of fires. Normal range.

[02:44:49] Use five times the amount of ammunition so I'll shoot five bullets here I guess. Nice. You can only do one full auto attack per round. Okay. So let's see if I hit him. I imagine you'll be taking half damage. Yes. Yeah. If it's even puncturing through him.

[02:45:08] Or just the shots around. Yeah basically it's like... If you hit him it's hitting B. It depends if it goes through him he's pretty tough. These shots might not go through the body. He looks a lot more bloodied now than he was before.

[02:45:22] I hear what you're saying but you also know what a browning machine gun can go through. Yeah but... And that's like... He's a magical creature though. Everything. Yeah. He's a magical creature. Either way let's see. I'll also point out the bullets are probably going to be regular lead.

[02:45:37] Yeah. Like silver grain. You can't correct that. Yeah. You know what you guys need to do? We can't afford to correct that. You know being those bullets are... Silver plating. We only need to silver electro plate them. Alright fine. That's fair.

[02:45:51] Conversely if you want to make them blessed weapons just do it like Van Helsingdon. Just like put in the... Dip it in the holy sys. You guys just have straight... Or it's like that shotgun that the Templar icon has.

[02:46:03] She has like the rosary or the cross underneath the player. Like the holy symbol underneath her shotgun barrel. Okay. We'll convert it to water cooled and use holy water. Holy water. Oh my god.

[02:46:14] Or we can reload our own ammunition and instead of getting the giant friggin full metal jacket lead slugs, we just cast some... Some silver jackets. Some silver jackets and fill them with holy water. So then they're just a hollow sphere of silver filled with holy water. Damn. Duel.

[02:46:43] So what'd you get? Not enough unfortunately. I got... What was that 18 I think I got? Did you do that advantage? Yes. I don't know if that's what my first rule sucked. Meter beat. It's meter beat and you got 18. Oh I thought you said I had to get 20.

[02:46:58] No, you... That's... Oh yeah yeah. Because of the debuffs and modders. So I met him. Yeah you did hit him. Okay cool. So what was the damage on that that we wrote then? Should anyone write that down? I don't know. It was like 8d6.

[02:47:15] Oh it was that bad. Oh, I think it was... It was one dice less than fireball. Fireball. Fireball. Fireball. So much paperwork but none of it... It was die 6 so it was 7d6. 7d6, yeah.

[02:47:37] And the way that the fallota works is I double my damage dice when doing fallota. So 14. 14 dice. 14 dice 6. Yeah. Alright do you need some bullets? Cause I'm so excited. You just... I just imagine like he like finally looks to see what's going on and just like...

[02:47:58] His eyes just like, whoa! Did you just... I think you said this is all half damage bullets. Yeah but still. Yeah. Like I'll just take the total and half. Yeah. You want to do the math and half damage? Ironically also, Aaron's also taking half damage from this.

[02:48:18] That's true. You're taking the same damage that this group did. I'm taking the same damage that this creature's taking. I mean I'm not but yeah. Well because like he would be taking the full damage except to you... I understand, I'm not taking the same damage. Oh you're not?

[02:48:35] No. No, no. No. He's still... He's still... He could roll all 1s and I'm not taking full damage. That's true. Okay. So should I shadow run this and do them all at once? Hell yeah! Dispose of dice? You want me to use the tray? Yeah.

[02:48:57] Maybe it's the tray. Oh I know I was just... No Dave, Dave, Dave hang on. The cup. You're gonna bless me with the cup? I really bless you with the cup. You're like 14 fucking dice for damage, Sam. Fine. Okay. So... Don't forget the chant. Easyrollerdicecup.com Easyrollerdicecup.com

[02:49:18] Easyrollerdicecup.com Easyrollerdicecup.com Work you do. Make sure you do it well. Right? Yeah. Okay. That was the biggest blackest dice cup. This one fell weird, I'm gonna redo this one. Yeah we're standing up on a... Yeah. I'll take the cup back to you, Eric.

[02:49:40] Wow these work great rolls. That one's on its edge. Which side of that is that? Is that a 5 or a 1? Give it a little tap. Let's see, let's see, let's see. That was like on its edge. It could be a 5 or a 1.

[02:49:52] Should I just tap it one more time? It'll be 5. I can tap it this way? No it's 5. Don't worry. Okay fine. Only the ones that are okay. Alright so that is numbers. Numbers. You need to take your socks off.

[02:50:06] What's funny is like this is really like the main bug hunt thing of this game. Carry the lunk. 47 damage. By 2. 23. Okay and how much did I take? 22 damage. So 9, gotcha. Yeah. So I'm set in flying.

[02:50:43] I hit a tree and slumped to the ground and I'm back in human form. Okay cool. Sorry and a whole bunch of leaves fall from the tree obscuring your vision and when they settle I mean human form. Just allowed. Yeah.

[02:51:01] And this thing like it is just riddled with holes like you can see right through him. And he just like, he's like the Shia La Boeuf movie.

[02:51:12] Yeah and he takes a limping step forward from where he was like, be held because like he just stayed there and plays that as he would fly back where. And he just like takes a step forward.

[02:51:22] And then he just kind of like takes a knee on his good leg. And it's just like good luck with the 7. And just funny. What'd he say? A little far away. As a pure boy. I'll say you care to hurt that.

[02:51:39] And he just says good luck with the 7. Oh okay. And then he falls to the ground and just like starts pooling. With like blue and purple and red Icker. Nice. That was a good choice. Putting a machine gun in the van. Yo, down 5 bullets that's all that took.

[02:52:03] So that was like, what happened? I don't know. It's a slow chunky machine. I think you would get through Die Motherfucker. Die Motherfucker. Not Die Motherfucker, Die Motherfucker, Die. No. Yeah, you wouldn't get the whole lyrics. I actually just put that song on my phone.

[02:52:24] Like I'll put like that a couple other dope songs on. Literally the fans called it. As in good songs or songs by dope? I see. Alright so yeah, Troy the lizard is dead. Die Motherfucker took a lot of dance. Yeah. Wow.

[02:52:42] Out of curiosity how many HP did he have? 130. No actually I think more than that. Hang on, what did he get? We went to the most of that with Monday. 180. That's what we had. Wow. That's awesome. We did a vintage. Yeah.

[02:52:58] Yeah the lizard demons are tough sons of bitches. As I've stated them anyway. Yeah. They might, there might be new stats like it because I know that the, I think the lizard demons are going to be some of the like the bestiary

[02:53:11] or the monster manual that they're coming up with for for the Secret World Legends game or the Secret World Tim Top game. So like these are just my stats for them because I couldn't wait. Fair. How close to death was he before I started shooting him?

[02:53:26] He had 30 something HP left. Oh okay. Yeah. And considering that I was only doing half damage with each of my attacks, that could have taken a few more rounds. It could have. We are in the middle of nowhere right? We are in the middle of nowhere?

[02:53:45] We're in the middle of nowhere. Ish, like there's an RV park like a few, like just two kilometers down the road. And I just opened up with a machine. They probably heard that. Because my smartphone is a suppressor on it. It's only five shots from that machine gun.

[02:54:00] So it probably sounded like three guys shooting at ducks with shotguns from like a hundred yards off. There's also a lot of gun, there's also a bit of gunfire going on there. Like where your gunfire was going off the shotguns were going off. My rifle was suppressed.

[02:54:18] Okay so the shotgun was. Oh yeah they were shooting shotguns at us. Yes you're right. Yeah those guys that went down like, those guys only had like, I think I only gave them like 16 HP like H.

[02:54:28] It really made it easier to get their boss was the one that was like the creeper. But it's shotguns in the woods of Newfoundland. That really sure happens all the time. Yeah. Especially in the... Maybe not, it depends on the season but yeah you're right.

[02:54:44] We're at end of July? Yeah literally like I think it's like the 30th of July or something? Yeah so Ravacitas opens tomorrow. Okay. There's some big rats. They're quite your head off man. Broken bits of unusual size. Okay in this case reptile of unusual size. Yeah.

[02:55:05] So now that I see that that's dead I'm going to pick up the casings in the car. So they're not uh... Found. They're not found yes and then slowly scour for my own casings out in the out where I was standing roughly.

[02:55:18] I kind of know where it was. Yeah. But continue talking. Yeah as he's doing that what do you guys do from there? I'm struggling to my feet. Yes. Do we have extra large body bag? Yeah he probably does. I'm not dead. Not dead.

[02:55:37] He's got like the sofa bag. Basically. So three times body bag, one time sofa bag. I agree the cultists too are the bodies of the cultists or are you just like how are you going to suppose those? They're going to the van. That's all going to the van.

[02:55:51] Put them under the ground I can deal with it. We can dig a quick shallow grave and I can make the grass grow over top of it immediately. Yeah. So let's investigate the bodies first see what else they got on them. 60 for finding my bullets. Okay.

[02:56:09] Do I find all of them? You find... I'll tell you how many I shot. Yeah. Three. Nine. I found a shot nine. You're pretty confident you got it all. Can I count to nine? Yes. I can only count to four. I can only count to four.

[02:56:30] Alright so on these guys you find like between the three cultists you find three shotguns and about... Where are we talking like double barrel, saw pump? We're talking like Mossberg shock waves. They were pump action shotguns. Okay. Like single barrel. Full stock? Sure. No they wouldn't be single.

[02:56:53] Yeah they would be stock. Full stock. So maybe like a 590 shock wave? Sure. You're saying that like he understands it. I don't even know what that one is. Mossberg 500 but the military or apocalypse version. It's got a heat shield on top. It's a mild aluminum trigger assembly.

[02:57:20] Oh actually no hang on they actually um they are... I don't know if this... Do you know if there are any like a French make shotgun? List of 24 shotguns made in France. Okay. They're all like fancy ass side by side too. Yeah. Oh okay.

[02:57:42] Oh yeah they're really nice. Yeah right? Over and under side by side. Really nice. A lot. I do need good side by side. Unfortunately they only take metric cartridges so you build these in here. What? That's not a thing.

[02:58:12] Okay but anyways they have the three shotguns you find and also 50 shot shells between them. They didn't get around. Okay they shot them once. I keep the track of our inventory. Oh fuck. Wait so am I getting to choose which pump action it was? Yeah. Okay 590 shock wave.

[02:58:38] Okay we should write this down. I feel like that is basic of the global standard. It is. How many of them? Three? Yeah. With 50 buck shot. And on the, they also have, I can see the insignia on their bodies.

[02:59:04] They also have them tattooed to their chest or like their clavicle area. Like around there. They also have like how we're like Dean and Sam have their like the three witches cross or something like that. Or the peticle tattooed. There's sunbursts. Yeah.

[02:59:23] Otherwise though, like the lizard man didn't have anything on him. He was just, he was busy like butt naked. For I was butt naked when he was out here in the bush before? Well no he was clothed. He bolted out his clothes.

[02:59:39] Well more like he actually just shape shift. Oh they can shape shift into clothing and stuff like that. But when we killed him did he turn back into a human or do you think he's a lizard? No he's a lizard. A lizard is the default form.

[02:59:53] This is true self. Smells really like a ripe rancid and sulfur. Damn. Okay make gumbo this son of a bitch. You can feed him to the gators. They're big ones. Wait there's probably not gators out here is there? We're pretty far north.

[03:00:15] No just a giant lake serpent about to crawl up your asses. What? Roll perception. Okay. Is it salt water or crab water? I actually didn't. I think it might be a salt water. That's kind of weird because it does connect to an inlet to the ocean.

[03:00:38] Let me find out. Got 90. You said perception? Yeah. Crescent lake. Oh that's a board. Crescent lake. Hell. After being knocked on my ass. Crescent lake is a freshwater lake. Okay. But feeds into the ocean. Okay. That just means that it flows from the lake to the ocean. Yeah.

[03:01:23] All freshwater lakes eventually feed into the ocean. That's true. Assuming they feed anywhere. Yeah. Yeah. Because they don't the Great Bear Lake really goes anywhere. Or Great Slave Lake. Yeah. Sure. Well there are probably any rivers that connect to them to go out where they've probably got frozen.

[03:01:46] They don't really. Yeah they can't really go very far. Yeah I think it's now a great low-offense starship lake. God damn it. All right anyways what did you guys get on perception? 16. 16. 19. 19. 24.

[03:02:04] Okay so you guys all here kind of a very loud low slithering rumble coming from the shoreline. From the direction of the shoreline. From the external and look you see a huge sized serpentine creature completely black and brown. With spines and tendrils coming off of it.

[03:02:32] The head is very snake-like. Not unlike your friend here. But it's much bigger and like just looking. Sithering up toward you guys with a malevolent intent. See that's why I wanted to save some magic. That's if you're all tapped out now. I have no animadise left.

[03:02:53] You can't be tapped out. I still have two animadise left and I haven't used a spell slot. That's what I'm saying yeah. I will say for you guys based on your reports. If this is the one that was for you is specifically John.

[03:03:16] Based on the data you saw like this is the seventh is the one Cressy that was still in the lake. It's not supposed to be this size.

[03:03:24] It's supposed to be like if it was a spawnling from what you guys have been told they're supposed to be like sharks. Like the size of two couches at best. Not a huge sized like beast. Like snake beast. And certainly not like looking malevolent and smelling of brimstone.

[03:03:47] So these culpice have been feeding it the weedies. They're growing a lot. Assuming no one can speak to animals? Has a spell for them? Oh he actually does have a speak to animal. Yeah I sure do. But this isn't exactly an animal. Maybe. Okay. Okay well.

[03:04:25] What defines an animal? Natural. In standard D&D it had to be a naturally occurring like a real world animal. Oh okay. Dinosaurs counted. Mm-hmm. But it had to be something real. Okay. Okay. Anything else would be a natural animal. Anything else wouldn't have qualified.

[03:04:48] Even if it really exists and it's been here the whole time but the mass population doesn't know about it. Like cryptids could be a natural animal. Like you'd be able to talk to Bigfoot. They would count as a... Actually Bigfoot are a sapient being.

[03:05:04] And if anything else that would have been counted as a monstrous humanoid. Which is not an animal. Okay. I will say the default stats that I modified for this. I believe classified them... Okay. Monstrosity. But in fifth ed animals are... Yeah! Are classified different anyway.

[03:05:31] Speak with animal is... Speak with animals. You gain the ability to comprehend verbally communicate with beasts for the duration. Anything that's listed as a beast in its stats. Okay. This is a monstrosity? Yeah, for this case... Maybe the regular ones...

[03:05:53] Or you don't know what the regular ones are. But yeah, this one's classified as a monstrosity. Actually I'm going to go ahead and change that because I had it said it was a beast. Yeah. So this is definitely a monstrosity.

[03:06:08] This one's also like... it definitely has like demonic mutations to it. Okay. So we're not going to be able to talk this one down, but at least this one won't be talking down to us while we're killing it. Attempting to reduce our morale. So back to the van.

[03:06:24] Hall outside of here. Machine gun out at the back. Pretty much. Makes sense to me. Unless you want to stay invited. I just imagine like... It's here in the back. Something is shot on the road, down the ways. And you just hear all the music. It's like...

[03:06:41] I'm still standing. It's just like... Roonin' Like... It's like... I'm still standing. It's like... On the back of the car. Yeah, I told you guys that wasn't even like... We got to be the main comment of this scenario. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[03:07:12] So yeah, one way or another we're going to have to deal with this. Whether we are dealing with it personally or we are GTFO-ing and getting someone else to help. We're calling in some help. Yeah. So... It's fine. We got this. You got full magic.

[03:07:30] I got full magic. We got a browning machine gun. Mm-hmm. How close of water are we? You're pretty close to the water. The trails, the dirt road and the trails, they're about within eyes of the water. Of shoreline.

[03:07:48] So do I have a line of sight with the machine gun on it right now? Oh yeah. Do I have to move the van? No, no you can see it's slithering up through like down through the clearing that goes down to the lake.

[03:07:59] Okay, so it's not still in the water? No. Okay. It's slithered up onto shore because it hurt all the ruckus. It's really put a suppressor on that branch. Do you guys have any explosives either? I don't think so, no. We have grenades. Yeah.

[03:08:16] Well it's back to use them apparently. I have a grenade or two. I have to switch to my thumb or archetype. Ah. I mean, I'd rather have a bundle of seven sticks of dynamite but Chris wouldn't let me have that at character creation.

[03:08:35] But you had weeks to in game to buy dynamite. Actually I have an underbarrel grenade launcher on my assault rifle. I mentioned that earlier. Oh. They got a smoke and frags. Okay. Yeah, he always has. I forgot about that. I actually have. I've never used it. I funk.

[03:08:52] Mainly because like in the Seeker of Legends game all the assault rifles have underbarrel grenade launchers. For recent. I think they cast the magic through them. Specifically like they do it in there instead of like fucking with the actual gun part. Prep prep. I need to heal them.

[03:09:09] Yeah, 100%. Beanbag round of healing. Oh gosh. Oh God. Okay, it's a heal for time. It feels so good. You shot me and then not. It's just a biotic grenade. It's splash damage of healing. Alright, so yeah, we're going to be going into an initiative of some sort.

[03:09:34] Whether this is a chase scene or a confrontational scene. I'm going to look at my Frenchman friend. Marcel. Marcel. And actually say chase scene? Chase scene. Get to the goddamn man. Alright, you guys roll me deck saves to get the hell out of the van.

[03:10:01] Oh fuck I failed. Okay, I'm going to roll it. I also rolled before. Wow. Oh man. Alright, now I am wounded in heavy armor. Okay so um... I don't know who to spend time on them with that. Oh boy.

[03:10:22] I'm going to get a second chance to do it because he's biting him first. 21 to hit you. Yep. Okay. So hang on, has initiative started yet? No, they're trying to run to get to the car but they've both failed their... Because things coming at them.

[03:10:45] Okay, they both fell on their face giving me clear line of sight to shoot at it to stop it from biting them. Okay. Right? Yep. Okay. If you hit him, I will not attack or this fight will not actually go off.

[03:11:01] Okay, I will attempt to do that then. Technically this could just be... we could just use the previous initiative. I'll just add an initiative. Can you check please, check? I haven't touched it. Jeff, oh my god. Check please, check. It is a d to 20. Okay cool. Okay.

[03:11:19] That dice is serving you well. It is. Currently. Not for long. Okay, so what was it? 76. Okay, one, two, three, four, five, six. Do you want to add my seven? Yeah. So I could do double dice or double results. What's generally better?

[03:11:39] Double the results, you don't have any dice. Yeah, that's true because this also is full auto which means I need another seven dice anyways. Seven dice right there. Yes, I need my full auto dice. So it's doing like 14 dice times two? No, just 14 dice.

[03:11:59] Oh yeah, double results on these. Yes, that's right. Would you like the easy roll of dice please? Sure, I don't know why you're blessing me but I appreciate it. Okay. Get all of this shit out of the way. Oh my god. I'm not perishing. Okay.

[03:12:16] I have... oh my god. Holy crap. What? He just created an incredible... They're multiplying. I got purple dust but he's all over the place. Anyway, easy roll of dice to cut down. Oh, you want to get fresh? I don't want to...

[03:12:41] I'll be back in a couple of times. Okay. Can I just slide this one off? It is a one. I'm going to leave it as a one. That one is actually... Oh man. Okay. Lightning these out. That they should be. Give me an hour to do my math.

[03:13:03] Calculus. I also love how this is happening because you guys both went to run, fall over. It's like, stay down. Pretty much. Just a firing on this fucking monster. I guess I'll just roll its initiative now just to get it on the rhythm.

[03:13:22] And we'll stick with the admissions we had. Makes sense. Of course, I fucking rolled high. Oh, actually, he doesn't have much of a deck so... Our cell is still going last. I've got too much hair in that dog. I'm going to have to scare it.

[03:13:50] Oh no, hang on. This thing goes through. I thought triples were good eating. No. Why does somebody eat them in that episode? I'm pretty certain eating the triple is just a euphemism for kind of lingus. Wow. How's that going, Derek? 106 damage?

[03:14:21] Okay, so in 5B, 50 BMG, 5B, do they need to death from massive damage? Yeah. Something? No. There is death from massive damage but it's actually different. How much damage we get was that? 106 because there's 53 normally. Oh my god. Well, I will say this.

[03:14:45] You've riddled him down to nearly almost all of his life. Goddamn. Not all of it, but damn. We might need to debuff the machine gun a bit. Nope. No. This is what it's made for. Okay. Because we don't get to use it like this very much. No, no.

[03:15:04] It's stuck to a van. When the fight comes to us, Merit, we win. Don't tell them, but this is how much. And we're now down 10 rounds so that's like $200. Yeah. But man, did that count. Also bear in mind that was because you got a Nat 20. Yes, for sure.

[03:15:28] Something there's like, oh right! You of all people got a Nat 20. Yeah, really? What the fuck? I should use browning machine guns more often. Just ditch that motherfucker right in the face. Both times we went to use that browning machine gun. Both times were hits. Yes, true.

[03:15:46] I have not missed with a hit. I'm going to say, actually, this is what happens, this is what happens. So we're going actually into a combat now because they're both down like prone right now. They're both dead. They're both prone and you've just fired it.

[03:15:59] You've gotten its attention. It's going to run, it's going to slither past these two. Yes. Invoking an attack of opportunity because it's really pissed off at the one thing that really hurt it. Understandable. So this thing's just like gouting blood all over these two as it goes by.

[03:16:16] Dope. That's what I say. And it's just like, it's just like really whiplashing across the ground trying to get you. Like basically the size of a, it's basically the size of two double decker buses. Lengthwise? Lengthwise, like two buses and about, and likewise it's about a double decker.

[03:16:38] What the fuck? It's a huge size monster. Jesus Christ. Can I cast as fellow as my opportunity attack? Yeah. Okay, I'm going to reach into a pocket, pull out a, well actually no because we're in the field.

[03:16:51] So I'm going to reach out beside me and grab a handful of thorny things and brambles and shit. Yeah, there's lots of pine needles and like pine branches and stuff. Yeah.

[03:17:02] And crush them in my fist and cause the grass between the creature and him to burst into spike growth. 40 feet of spiky undergrowth growing rapidly between the two. Nice. So for every five feet it moves through that, it takes two die four damage. Okay. Two die four? Okay.

[03:17:27] Two die four. So that's technically, it could be, I believe it's eight, well eight squares worth of movement so that's 16 die four. Okay. And so it's going to clear the whole thing in one round. Yeah, basically.

[03:17:42] So we'll see what I get right now for the two die four. For the start of the game. Four damage. Okay. Merit, what does one of our cell want to do as you're like, as it's like just splashing

[03:17:56] you with blood, it gets a blood as it's like slithering by, you know, frenzy. I'm going to try and gut him with a hammer. Okay. Got it with a hammer. I thought he said that. I didn't want to correct him.

[03:18:07] He gets like stuck in one of the wounds and like imagine the stay there. So it's like just brute force, like ripping an open even further. Oh God. It's basically a halogen tool. We got a spike on the back end. Oh yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah.

[03:18:20] That's a minus nine. Yeah, I know. I am prone. Going well for me. So you're going to have a halogen tool and a Sega shotgun. Are you also a 13 year old girl? Um, I pretend to want to the internet.

[03:18:37] So that was just, that was just, that was a free action by the way because it went past you guys. Yes. John. Yes. This thing is just like coming right at you like smothering in a frenzy. Fear? You want a roll bill saved? I feel like I should.

[03:18:56] Roll bill saved. Like honestly, like as much as I would like to not, I probably should. Yeah. Roll bill saved. I mean, to be fair you have the courage of a browning machine gun in front of me too. I roll a bill saved.

[03:19:09] Basically the biggest modern arm a civilian could own. Yeah, but also there's a giant feature. I would feel much better if I had like an autocannon. Yeah. Like a 30 millimeter tournament. 17? 17 will do it. You're like, yeah, this is like, it's okay. I've got the browning. This is fine.

[03:19:31] I brought the browning pants. Yes. They're brown in the back and cream colored in the front. Really get that checked because you're in yourself and coming up with a shit on your lap.

[03:19:51] And you, I thought it would just be like it's pants that like have the belts of the ammo in them. That's why they're for the browning. Congrats. I'm more fierce than you. You aren't frightened so you can do something.

[03:20:10] So my options here are shoot it more or attempt to start the van and leave, but I probably won't be able to start the van and accelerate quick enough for it to get on. It's going to be there in a turn basically.

[03:20:23] So I'm going to shoot it again with the bullets. Yep. All bullets. Yep. You guys are still prone? Yeah. Okay. So I'm not going to feel too bad shooting a high caliber machine gun over top of you guys, although technically it's past you now. Look at this. Yeah.

[03:20:40] These are. That's a number. It's a browning 50 cal. So I mean they're going to go through the target. Yeah. 17. Yeah. Okay. That's a huge size target. I was like an elephant. I mean, yeah. I figured it's more.

[03:21:02] Bear in mind though the large size reptile man was an 18 for an AC. Oh right. It gets plus two AC because I'm using full auto. What? It has plus two AC because it's counted as half cover because I'm shooting full auto. Okay. You still beat him because it's 15.

[03:21:17] Cool. I'm just saying. Wait, wait. Did you roll a 15 last time? Or was it 17? I don't remember what I rolled last time. I think you said 17. Last time. You did say 17. Yeah. You're safe. You're safe. Okay. You got it. Cool. All right. This is fine.

[03:21:34] This is three times you've used a Browning machine gun and hit Dave. You're alive to have it back. What was it? This is three times you've used a Browning machine gun and hit. Yes. I think we know a new gun. Yeah, let's bring this with me everywhere.

[03:21:50] Walk around town with it. I thought, okay, so correct me if I'm wrong. I thought we had a discussion about automatic weapons last time and we were going to treat them as an area of effect. Oh, fuck. I think you're right.

[03:22:05] So that they would make a deck save for half damage. We haven't been doing that. So let's just. No, I'm just, I'm only bringing it because I thought we, because I, I'm thinking that we forgot about how we had discussed doing it.

[03:22:19] What was wrong with the system now? Is it OP? It's like we are play testing this. So if it's OP, it's OP. We change it. It's that when you're, when you're using a machine gun full auto, you're attacking an area.

[03:22:32] The problem is we're targeting large and huge size creatures. I'm not really shooting a box. Well, yes. Yes. Yes. So attacking an area is attacking the thing because it is so big. Yes. But when we were attacking the large size creature, it, it's not the same. No.

[03:22:50] The large size creature is only 10 feet tall. Yeah. Like that's, that's more of a targeted thing. So you would be effectively attacking an area. Yeah. Everything in the area would get a deck save for half damage. Yes. Because you're catching a bullet. Yeah.

[03:23:11] Or in the case of a 50 caliber machine gun, you're catching the, the, what is it, what is it called the, you don't even have to be hit by the bullet. You just have to be close to this, to the displaced air. Yeah.

[03:23:28] For it to actually fuck you up. Really? Yeah. Like it could miss you by this much and it'll still rip your arm open. Oh, that's nice. That's power. Yes. Either way, rolling dice. God damn math. Every time.

[03:23:52] I always think Dave's good at math until he starts counting the dice. Why do you think I'm good at math? That was like an insult there. It really did sound like an insult. I always think Dave's good at math and he starts counting. No, I'm supposed to count.

[03:24:07] I always think of you as like a really like techy math guy. You remind me of my cousin Neil who teaches math and computer sciences. I don't. I'm aware of that. It's fine. But I mean he'd probably look at the dice and be like, oh yeah, it's 48. Yeah.

[03:24:30] Not me. I can't. Because I'm not as good at math. I always assume you're that good Dave. No. I mean I could slowly like, I could not do it with fingers by just like, okay these are the sixes,

[03:24:43] these are the fives, let's group all these up and make my life a little easier. I mean to be fair I also always assume Merritt is that good because he should be because of his job but he needs a calculator so. I need a calculator for everything.

[03:24:57] I basically, for spelling boobies. That is an important use of it. Boobies are my favorite. Basically technology is made, most people lazy including me in regards to knowing math because my math teacher's wrong. I will always have a calculator in my pocket. Regardless.

[03:25:23] I operate my life off of guesstimations. Fairly accurate guesstimations but guesstimations. Or I do the math on concrete walls and pencil. I hope the coffee helped. Yes. I'm sure you can tell I'm awake and alert. Yeah. Okay that's 48 machine gun damage.

[03:25:58] I feel really bad because that was such a waste of bullets. Oh yeah, I'm just trying to save my life and all of our lives and the band's life. So if the band dies we're strutting it. How do you want to kill them? With bullets.

[03:26:15] How does it look like? Okay as it's like does it have limbs or wings or anything? No it's just like a giant like fuck you serpent from hell. Okay so fuck you serpent from hell is serpent-teening towards me with its mouth open. Gouting blood from baby's wounds.

[03:26:31] Does it have a tongue I don't assume it does? Yeah it has like a giant forked tongue. Well the forks are being shot off as the tongue is flailing around. It's hitting them in the mouth basically. Hitting them in the UV. Does it just have UV for this?

[03:26:44] Probably I don't know. I actually assume not. Either way I'm hitting them all along the inside of the mouth. All the weak spot area. All of the spots that are red. Yes for sure. When I'm hitting there I'm getting red damage numbers. Instead of yellow?

[03:26:58] Instead of yellow or gray. Yeah I know but they're higher so it's fine. Either way I'm shooting in the mouth as he's coming over and then just like as he's about to like get close enough to actually like chomp on the van.

[03:27:12] He just comes a little bit too short just lands right in front of it and slides forward and like actually bumps into the van and like lifts the side of it up a little bit. There's on like on his forehead. Okay that happens. That's how it dies.

[03:27:29] However as it like finally comes to a rest it suddenly like kind of pulls back on the moat for a few moments and just like and just lets out a cone, a 30 foot cone of cold blasted air as its last breath. Roll a constitution save throw.

[03:27:50] I can move it. Boom. Boom. Whoops. We wasted a second level spell slide. For what? For the thrice fight growth. That's not very good. 16.94 is nothing to sneeze at though. He wasted way more of those bullets than he sure was. I was concerned.

[03:28:11] Also I don't know how many bolts we have. I think we had like two boxes. Like four in advance. Oh we're fine. I can just shoot this the entire campaign that's fine. Two boxes or two ammo cans? Two ammo cans. Okay.

[03:28:24] Cause two ammo cans is a lot of... Well I mean what's the number? Nine. Nine? Yes. Not a lot of bullets but... Okay he's frozen the gun. Yeah. Well two boxes is only what 10 bullets? Oh my god hang on I need a dice roller. Easy willow dice cap.

[03:28:45] I'm sorry. It's fine. Cause this thing has like basically a death knell kind of thing. Death or adult sorts. Okay. It's okay. I have a bag of 2D6 rounds. Yeah. Take 20 damage. Cold damage. 28. Yeah. As it just suddenly... Iceacles and like frost just completely covers the van.

[03:29:10] And you and the browning. That's a lot of damage. And like spike ice. Like just shivering. Like ice spikes. That's a lot of damage. Ice spikes just like form all over around and stuff. You look like Marv after he's stuck in the snow. Yeah exactly that.

[03:29:26] But I was like I was frozen today. That too. All of them. Yeah but then it just like... At the end of the shining. If I died I'd be like oh Jack and I put Nicholas in at the end of the shining. Or no no no.

[03:29:39] I am invincible. Oh yeah Boris from Goldeneye. But yeah after that last bellow and then it just dies. You do okay there Johnny? Yeah the cold never bothered me. I'm Canadian after all. New title unlocked. Iceman. Yeah. But yeah. You've slayed the beast.

[03:30:04] I guess how much damage it had after you like killed it. Or after you like riddled it with the first one. With the crit? Yeah. Three. No it had 14. Okay. And then he took four of it down. I just like to point out something you did here. What?

[03:30:22] The big bad guy had less hit points than the mook chief. One. Did he have damage resistance? No. The creature? Really? Two. Um this is one of them. This was the taste. Cause you killed the one that stayed in the lake. As you guys recalls it.

[03:30:45] Oh so we gotta deal with six more of these that are going down river. Everybody roll an insight. Forgotten. By insight he means perception. You guys are surrounded. No no no. Insight it's insight. Seven. Eighteen. This thing just gave me single digits today. Twenty five.

[03:31:12] Okay um you should have brick cause uh uh uh Jay uh Jay. I should have worn my brown pants. And John as you're like shaking off the frostbite and the cold. You know you guys you both come to the realization it's like if these things are

[03:31:29] going down river they're gonna hit a bunch of like campfire like camping spots and. Upriver. So you're going up river into inland. They're going to hit a bunch of small like towns or small like little like villages and campgrounds and stuff like that.

[03:31:44] And then they're gonna hit Badger Newfoundland which is a city that is connected to the major water infrastructure of the island. Like it's good they have pipelines like that large massive like water pipelines in the rivers

[03:32:00] around Badger that connect all the way out to the dam on the east on the west side of the island. Well Newfoundland's right off. Uh here's a sketch once again this time. No no don't worry it's headed to Badger. Badger don't care. Badger don't give a fuck.

[03:32:17] I don't even know. So now and that's when you guys hear the crackling from the. Sorry just because it's going to the snake is going to Badger do we need to find like a mushroom? I will say the original tagline I had was this one.

[03:32:34] Badgers and mushrooms and snakes. Nice. I'm gonna show my age but that's fine. Yeah originally that was going to be the line again. I had to actually give it a different like origin like what the problem wasn't

[03:32:47] but then I've kind of like tweaked it for because it fit better for me. Okay. But um yeah so that's what you guys like realize and then um uh the two of you that are closer to the cabin you guys actually hear like some some some sputtering

[03:33:03] something sputtered a life in there like some like radio chatter and you hear what it sounds like like a police brought a band kind of report saying that there is a some kind of animal attack happening or that's been and some

[03:33:22] sites are being reported on a what was it? They're being reported at Twin Lakes. Twin Lakes Road Junction. So that's so that's where I think we're actually going to be off tonight because it's almost it's almost 11 30.

[03:33:46] Um and I would like to even if we race right there do we have time for a short rest on the way? Let's find out. It was a short rest 10 minutes. An hour. Oh let me just find out for you guys.

[03:34:01] It's 40 minutes to an hour somewhere in there. Also because we killed that entity I'll probably like shakily like pull my onk emulated out because I have emulates that do shit now and apparently with the

[03:34:15] onk when I when either I or anyone reduces an enemy it might only be me regardless when an enemy gets reduced to 0 HP I can like point the onk at an ally and heal them for 2 HP for free. So you're most injured. 40 minutes. 40 minutes.

[03:34:31] 40 minute drive so I think that's long enough for a short rest. I'd allow for sure allowing for it. Cool. I'm not driving. Can get the short rest. I'm not driving. Why do you need a short rest so much? Anime points at my second level spell slot. Oh okay.

[03:34:48] No anime die. So he should also you need you need to heal. Yeah. You can take a break. Oh I guess you also need to heal now. I mean kind of yeah. So that's what you guys are on the radio chatter from like apparently they

[03:35:03] have a you guys but you didn't really notice it but like on the table next to the computer and stuff there was also a radio scanner. Sorry for having to mention that. But it's sprang to life.

[03:35:13] Also I was wanting to ask you yeah it's not on my spell list for my archetype because it's one of my secret archetype things. Yeah. Because my secret archetype is the one that makes me druidish. Yeah. There are no healing spells in that druidish list. Okay.

[03:35:33] I want good buried. It's not really a healing spell. It just buried gives you one hit point. I love it. I love it. Okay. Um yeah and also what you guys also hear like aside from that what you

[03:35:51] hear um jake uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh as you're like shaking off the freezing and some of that you do hear sirens at the distance. No god. So. That all familiar sound.

[03:36:02] So you guys hear the yeah yes. Basically going to con mode close everything get in the in the freaking driver seat. Yeah so. So we'll leave off the note. But yeah basically these things are going down or going upstream

[03:36:15] um to uh and deeper inland from the from where they're supposed to be they appear to be changed by whatever the uh the lizard guy and his uh his cult did and um uh but you know you've at least just heard a report of where they're going to

[03:36:33] be where they're hitting. Yeah. And you know kind of where they're going to end up and it would be very bad for Newfoundland if they get there. What time of day is it right now? Uh at this point it's only like it's basically four o'clock. Okay.

[03:36:45] An hour has passed I'd say total since you guys got into town. Probably before I leave I want to just take a quick picture on my phone of the giant creature. No not with me. Proof that this happened. Yeah. He's taking a trophy. Yeah. It's like falling 76.

[03:37:04] It's like falling 76. It's like yeah just like the victory victory fingers. I mean fair. Yeah. Or it's that one where it's like the guy like who's like crashing next to the the gravestone and it's like. Actually it is in a good position to do that because

[03:37:24] like it's slightly underneath the truck right now. So I could just like be next to the gun like be like Yeah. Yeah. So that's where we're going to I guess like we'll leave off from now. I guess this will be a two part because it's I don't

[03:37:38] think we're going to have enough time for like six more of them. You have to kill six more of these things before they get to bed. Depends if they go down in two bursts or not. Yeah. With the machine gun. Yeah. But yeah comments, questions, suggestions.

[03:37:53] How do you guys like it? The scenario. I have to shoot the machine gun. I'm glad we had that because we still be fighting the first guy. Yeah. I fought things as a bear. You did. I think maybe I might lower the I might I might

[03:38:09] change tweak the the stats a little bit on the lizard guy because that guy is pretty primed. He's way stronger than the. Yeah. Well he is like I like that he was strong though. Yeah. He was like his kind are big bad. Yeah.

[03:38:26] I still feel like he had too many hit points and maybe not enough damage output. Yeah, I think you're right. I think I should have a sponge. Yeah. I think he just rolled poorly for the damage output. His claws did two die 10 plus what? His claws do.

[03:38:43] That's crazy. The lizard demons do. The talons do 2d 10 plus three. Okay, so that's 23 damage potential of 23 damage per hit from their talons. Plus they get two attacks including in their bite which is they do a bite or die 8.

[03:39:09] If you do a bite or a tail attack and then they get a second attack with the talons and the bite and the tail attack can both do except for they do 2d 6 plus 3. That's still pushing close to 40 damage without a crit.

[03:39:26] He also has a potentially immobilizing or stunning attack once per day which he did early on because I thought. Yeah, if he did that at the very start of the fight we would have been fucked. Yeah. Well he was waiting for like I was saving

[03:39:41] him for after his cultists go because his cultists also get affected. Oh, right because this isn't a video game. Yeah, basically any creature within 20 feet of him that has to make constitution rolls or be stunned. Okay, that's fair. So if you were an ear pro.

[03:39:58] Yeah, if you had an ear pro you might have been able to deal with it. Or at least if I had gotten a boost, like a bonus. We really got to adding palters to the standard kit. Yeah because I wouldn't necessarily be

[03:40:12] wearing ear pro because I have a suppressor on my sword. I mean I have a revolver that's unsuppressed but... Also yeah these guys are like damage resistance wise. They've got a bunch of damage resistances. They also have magic resistance. They're toward like spell saving throws and such.

[03:40:28] Oh yeah? Yeah. Were they weak to radiant? Oh yeah radiant was like the key because they're from hell. They're healthy. They are a demon. So like silver weapons, blessed weapons and radiant damage are their weaknesses. Yo, yeah. You were actually doing a pretty decent job at

[03:40:45] doing the most like in terms of like magical damage. Or like what magical damage will affect him? And then the Goku slash Raditz a super beam cannon. It was perfect. It was a perfect thing. I love it. I just like the visual of a bear holding a lizard

[03:41:06] being shot by a machine gun. Yeah, that's so good. Well a guy in a juggernaut so you can stand by with a hammer. Yeah. But yeah, I think, yeah and the Cressies and stuff like they're, I was trying to like I'm standing up the Cressies myself

[03:41:22] so I'm trying to make them like they're not like super powerful. They are a crypt, they start off as a cryptid. They're not actually, the only reason they're bad in this case is because these things of these, this demon has made them bad. Yeah.

[03:41:34] And if we fought them without the machine gun they would be a problem. Even if you fought them harder because they do have a healthy hit pool. I do wonder if the machine gun is too strong. Well we'll see. I'm holding 14.

[03:41:45] D6 because I'm using the full auto rolls. Yeah, well you're about to deal, next session we're going to have to deal with six of these things and maybe not necessarily all of them at once but there will be a couple in matches so we'll see

[03:41:58] how like a couple of these suckers against you guys and against that browning. Yeah. So yeah this was, this is the setting, the scenario I wanted to run where it was like it starts off as an investigative thing like you guys are kind of like

[03:42:12] false pre-pents, these guys are reporting in like regular reports but like it's contradictory going and to find out and do an audit on them. And then you find out oh they've been infiltrated and fucked over and then this other thing is happening and then

[03:42:24] you have to deal with these monsters that are going to rampage. Yeah. And it becomes a bug hunt. So the only good bug is a dead bug. I'm doing my part. I didn't do shit. It's from a meme that's really like I'm doing my part.

[03:42:44] I'm doing my part. I'm doing my part. I didn't do shit. And I got from a, I don't know what that show is. That's the way it goes? No it's on net official. I was thinking of we ain't found shit. We just told him in the test.

[03:42:55] So I want to see that. I want to see that video. Okay. Is there anything else to, like there's a whole like thing, like I was going to have like if you guys were actually investigating like the disappearances and some of that. Like I had some characters you

[03:43:08] guys could like talk to in town but you guys just went straight for the, the stations. Yeah. I mean it's a good thing we did because we may have not even done any of the combat. Not that we need combat. No. But we would be that far,

[03:43:21] that much further behind. Yeah. Because at the end of the day I saw it like they don't have contact at the station. So. I can use a question like should that like, because I'm, I'm planning on like tweaking and editing the scenario. Should I even have the

[03:43:36] investigation in the town or is this just like sort of like throw you guys in like under pre false pretenses of like, Oh, like our guys in the station like they're reporting but like they're like we're getting other reports that are contradictory.

[03:43:48] Just go and find out what's going on at them. The way that I think you should keep the, the in town investigation in, but I think the longer you're fluff around with that, the more disadvantage you should be at. Like the closer like they're

[03:44:02] not, they're not at like the first junction like you guys have to race over to get to deal with there at the next stop or like they're getting closer and closer to Badger. Yeah. Down the river because they like you guys are already kind

[03:44:13] of like on a time crunch right now because like the river systems as I looked, I did the, I actually did some like mapping for this. The river systems are going to be a little bit of a problem for these snakes because they kind of thin out

[03:44:25] in certain spots. So like they have to move slower. They move slower on land. That's also like saving rates. But once they get into water, then they start like picking up speed. So the way that I thought that this was going to go is we

[03:44:39] go to the cabin. The cabin is oh, bad shit happened here. That happened a while ago. Okay, let's go to other locations where the actual enemies are or where we're actually finding more stuff. I didn't expect them to show up here. Yeah. I wanted to have like kind

[03:44:55] of a duke out where like the lizard folk, they can shape shift and so that so they he shows up as a survivor. And like if you guys, you guys probably not going to end up going down to the shoreline, but basically they've killed the three friendlies and

[03:45:09] saccharine like basically created use them as part of the ritual to contaminate the cresis that are down in the lake. That's how they mutated the cresis was a performed a profane in human like demonic ritual on the shoreline. So yeah, like at the Grammys.

[03:45:29] So he was good at like he comes out of the woods because I'm not sure of the woods because like they're still around like they're still stuck around waiting for somebody to be around because they have kind of a personal vendetta against you guys specifically for a reason.

[03:45:45] Okay. But they were somebody out. Yeah. So they he shapeshift is one of them pretends to be a survivor tries to get you guys away like stole you guys as much as possible. But if you find them out then he gets it. He call it.

[03:46:01] He makes the call and the ambush happens. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Yeah, I think that was a really fun. I think that was a fun combat like yeah. Like with like the the the cult members like were just moved so they just went down pretty easily.

[03:46:17] But it was like their boss is the worst thing. And then all right. And then you guys think you're safe and then a giant snake monster comes out of the lake. It's like way bigger than it's supposed to be. We're gonna need a bigger van. Yeah.

[03:46:30] And that's why I guess like you like like you guys have been saying oh I can't wait to use the the browning and like from there. Yeah. I created a scenario specifically for you guys to use this. Super effective. Throw enough large bullets

[03:46:40] at things and they kind of go down. Yeah. So I kind of see next session like you guys can either take the car like take this take the van with you guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I think we're gonna have

[03:46:56] a little bit of a break with you guys. Or see if you can like on the run basically acquire a boat if you want to still do the boat thing or just do. Or I buys with them or do both or like somebody in the bus

[03:47:08] wants somebody in the boat but like either way like it's up to you guys like how you want to handle the next thing because there are the local authorities are going to show up and like find out what's going on because like that was a lot of gunfire.

[03:47:20] Here's the thing too. I don't technically know what's going on with the big snake. The Cressy sorry. Cressy. Yeah. Because it took two solvos of burst from the machine gun. Yeah. The other guy took one but for all I know I took out 90% of his health with that

[03:47:36] one burst. Because I know that but for all I know that gun is so fucking powerful that it just owned him through all his defenses and it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like

[03:47:51] it's like it's like it's not about all of his defenses and like we only had him have killed or whatever. I mean based on that first world from from on the crecy you might have how he could have been like a stronger like H like health and stuff

[03:48:06] and you could have taken on that that lizard demon with browning. True the first one was a crit too so that would have He would have taken because the bullets aren't are mundane he would have taken half damage because he was hit

[03:48:21] He had resistance to mundane piercing and stuff like that. So it would have been more like 50 or so damage than the 106 that you did that for Selfo. That was just something, I loved that.

[03:48:35] Because I'm looking at it like, I don't know how you met, this is fucking amazing. This is exactly what this is for. Can we buy armor piercing incendiary rounds? Oh fuck yes. Oh fuck but does that count as mundane rounds at that point? Because they're incendiary.

[03:48:51] The AP still would, just going straight through the incendiary would definitely be fire damage. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I guess it wouldn't be a whole lot of fire damage because it's mainly just the puncture.

[03:49:04] The lizard man does have resistance to cold, fire, lightning, bludgeoning, piercing, slashing from non-magical or silver weapons. But he is weak against silver, blessed weapons and radiant damage. So we're better off with just silver ammo. Yeah. Yeah. So just silver up all your rounds. Pretty much yeah.

[03:49:28] That's going to be a lot of silver. I think at some point soon when I'm in animal form my natural attacks count as magical. It might actually already and I just don't recall. Okay we should probably double check that. Yeah. Because that will check that for me.

[03:49:47] I only have my phone. I'm using my phone for it right now. You're not doing the attack right now. I know. So you have a week to figure this out? No, two weeks actually. Two weeks to figure this out so it's fine.

[03:49:58] Yeah because we've got to finish bossing off next week. Yeah. What's our ex-pain is like? So the cultists, those piddly little mooks that were really just there for... Because I didn't get to use them the last time I got to... Yeah they ran away. 600 for the three cultists.

[03:50:21] There's nothing. Yeah. The lizard demon you get 1800. And for the cresce you get I think it's like 1200 to double check. I assume that easily levels us up. The cresce is... Yes but you don't get to level up yet. I know. What ex-p were we at before? Was it 35?

[03:50:45] Because I have 32 written in. I have 55. I have yeah 5500. So 55 plus 36. Did you not count it last time? Wait 55 is your current ex-p before this game? Yeah. Okay I was not keeping track of it right? Yeah.

[03:51:03] And you guys have all been here so like you just haven't done the same thing. 91. That's what we're at now 91? Yeah. Which I think might be two levels. It might be. That's before we kill the rest of the cresces. Yeah that's... That's 1200 apiece. Yeah.

[03:51:25] We're gonna leave this mission level 20. Jeez. Ben I'm glad you guys liked it. Mm-hmm. Yeah I guess we'll see how you guys handle the race against time and the... The race against time. But how you guys handle the race against time and the...

[03:51:45] As you try and hunt down and terminate the six remaining mutated cresces. Yeah. We're gonna have to hack it at once. We'll have to see? It's gonna be a bad time. Alright until next time we'll see you all next time. Bye internet.

[03:52:00] See you later in The Secret World.
