Input: that how long it lasts? I don't know why we can't have two initiatives going on at the same time because it sounds she's going to do really good inside, but we could test what an outward response would be to some kind of threat. Threat? Yeah. What would your suggestion be? Well, cause a fucking ruckus and then disappear, but then everybody else can see what happens. Test and see the response time. Yeah, where do they come out of? Where's the barracks? Sure! Sure! Do they mount up quick? Actually, three hours now. Maeve and Clara: Ooh! It's half your druid level rounded up. Ooh! That's pretty fun! There is a middle ground where we just get whomever of us is the most unthreatening on the outside to go in and try and retrieve their animal creature. They'll respond like they're-- Do you think the Paragon's Call is going to give up the cute animal? I don't know, but we'll at least see what their reaction to it is. I do have a spell that might convince them to, but-- Oh shit! I put Dusk on hold! Oh, Dusk! Dusk! Uh, hello. So sorry. We're still debating. Okay. Keep holding. Uh, watching. Uh, hello. So I put her back on hold. It's fine. I kind of like this idea, though. Should we just do it, or should we just consult the others? Do we have a idea yet? We were just bandying about-- Are you talking about the idea of just pure chaos? Yes. You got to kick an ant hill every once in a while to see what happens, right? All right. Who's going to do what? If you want to wait a little while, there's a middle ground. Let's give her a little more time to check the place out before we send it into a total ruckus, but I'm not against this plan. Plus, distracting things towards the outside may cause a little less attention on the inside. Also, may give her an opportunity to get the fuck out. Yep. Okay, let me update Dusk. Oh, Dusk! Uh, hello! All right, so. We kind of want to see how this plays out. We're going to keep watching the front. Worst case scenario, maybe we'll cause a ruckus! Ruckus! This is horrifying! Sorry that my messages aren't as peaceful as Arthur's. All right. Tootle-oo! Okay. All right. Okay. So they're just going to hang out over there and see how this plays out. All right. That's probably for the best. So I guess maybe we can do the same, if you trust Gideon to-- Implicitly. Okay. Gideon is one of the most trustworthy people I've ever come across. Meanwhile, while you are being brought through the hallway, keeping watch on the low lit interior, the occasional-- Cautious, one might say Tinder burning brazier or oil burning lantern hang on the inside. Are quokkas low light creatures? Let's find out. I doubt it. I'm going to say no, just for the sake of this. They're out in the day time. But if they're not, someone will give them a light. Continue

Input: changing the rules, though. (laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah. (explosion booms) This massive burst of flame and the sound of an explosion echoes out through the middle of the night. Flames swirl in the space and as they reside or pull back, you can see many of the figures down almost to one knee, charred and flames licking off the sides of their arms and robes. You can see the four Vanguard figures are all going screams. Just screaming in pain-- and there's one back here who looks about 16 or so. Oh! What's happening, what's happening? They look near death and terrified. Oh! Good. They're little Vanguard. I just scream out: Run! Okay! Wow! Staying put? Can I move away, back as far as I can go? You can go back about there. That's the back of the chamber of the domed abode. That's great. That's great. All right, that finishes your turn. Now is the Ruby Vanguard-- Oh boy. All of them start screaming and running. This guy goes charging off this way. This guy wanders this way, shocked, goes like, "What's happening? What's happening?" No. This guy here, he's going to stand back, a little angling and get behind this side. Carmen Sandiego. The young one is going to go, panting, and you watch as a familiar burst-- Oh! -- of semi-purple energy suddenly flashes from within him-- Ruh-roh-- and he lifts off the ground about a foot. Oh, I just awokened a bitch. Kind of crackles, and the flames still burning off his shoulders. Yeah, you awoken them. You exalted someone. I just exalted somebody, didn't I? He's doing it, Peter. You're doing-- You're doing it, Peter. Starting to believe. Wow, this got messy. It got real messy. Yeah. Oh yeah. Why are they terrified of us, they're brutal soldiers? No, these were just people. These were just people. These were just dreamers. These were just Ruidusborn. They weren't necessarily-- Well, they're in some level of cultishness, right? Yeah. There are degrees, yeah. That doesn't mean that they're big, hard warriors. They're still alive for the moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They could also be mentally controlled, you know what I mean? Sure, sure, sure. The Willmaster was like-- Did I do a bad? No. The Willmaster-- Julian did not answer. Everyone was like, "No!" and Julian went. Julian can't answer right now, she's in a torpor. The Willmaster just skidded back a bit. Sees this exaltation of this teenage boy. As he floats there, and you all feel it, too, both of you feel this like, air whooshes, this weird pressure pushed back on your mind. as the blast of it comes through you and you recognize another node of that network has come online. As the boy stands there, the Willmaster just, without even glancing at him, just points forward. It's still their turn. Most of them ran. The newly Exalted Vanguard newcomer is going to use Telekinesis. Oh wow, he upgraded. I need you to go to make a strength check for me, Maeve.

Input:
one, make an athletics check versus their athletics. That's a natural one, which I'll reroll. Okay. Natural 20.
(gasps) Okay, so that one fails. Silvery Barbs. What is that? They have to reroll a 20? That's going to be an 11. That was a 12.
(gasps) Oh! All right, so yeah. So your first attack-- uh, yes, let's go! -- you reach over and you grapple onto. They're now currently grappled and unable to move away.
That's so good. ♪ Silvery Barbs ♪ Now, if I'm holding onto her head, I can't use the other attacks at all, right? Now I'm locked and I'm done? Or can I-- No, you can keep attacking. Are you going to give a little-- I'm going to elbow her in the eye with Hex.
Okay. I don't know how a person's going to run in the way of that. That's what I'm doing. Well, they should try. DM, question. Was that a strength ability check that they just did? That would have been-- No, strength or dex and they did dex. Because they can choose either athletics or acrobatics. They did dex, okay.
So this would just be the Hex damage. I got a 22 to hit with my elbow. A 22 to hit? I'll say because you're so close, I'm going to give myself disadvantage on the roll for them to try and Meat Shield. How? You never know. Because they can grab the back of your arm as you reach back and hit them. Okay, sure. But no, they fail. So this damage goes straight through. How much was that? That was-- That is six points of Hex damage coming through Fiona's tiny elbow.
As you're like, (grunts). The next one is? It glows through the tattoo as it, (contact slam). (laughs) The moons light up. (laughs) (laughs) (laughs) That is a 17. That's pretty sick. 17, that does hit. They did not manage to Meat Shield because of the disadvantage. So, roll the next bit of damage. That is four points of elbow Hex. Four points of elbow Hex! Yeah, bro! You got to charge it. You got it. How is she looking? Fuck. She's not looking great. She's looking kind of hurt. She got that Fireball and Clara combo right out of the gate really rocked her more than she was expecting. We'll pull her guts out soon. It'll be fine. Okay. That finishes your go, Fiona? Jeez, yes. That was awful. That felt awful. Mm-hmm. The Shrike group over here, these various wuukor start going. (disgruntled moos) They start getting agitated and starting to rally out of their sleeping position. Run with the bulls! The Shrike's going to run and leap over this high fence. H'yah! They have 40 feet of movement. Yeah, they can get there. They're going to rush up to you, Fiona. Oh, and one last detail. My Hex will give her a disadvantage on dexterity checks. So now you're covering strength and dex checks. So now we know that. Nice. Good to know. Okay. Are you still hanging onto her head? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. She ain't going anywhere. This Shrike is going to

Do they make t-shirts? Four silver. Do they have a-- (laughter) -- set of Taste of Tal'Dorei cutlery? Oddly, no. Shit! Fuck, Arthur wanted the t-shirt. I would like to get one of the signs that says, "How do you want to do this?" It's not going to make a difference. Ooh. Those are back ordered. (laughter) But they find one that's hidden in the back. So yeah, you can get that. Yay! Bring back Arthur a t-shirt that says, "Whitestone is for lovers." (laughter) Wow! Gets darker and darker. Always. Why do I open myself to this? (laughter) Are we capable of tracking down our mark today? Does that count as a short rest, out of curiosity? Yeah. You guys have been-- Fuck yes! Had some drinks, had some meals, had some conversations, enjoyed some fine performance arts. Yeah, you've had a short rest. So you can take that. Roll a hit die real quick. A short rest is in the mint julep. (laughs) Every time. Oh! Yeah! I'll just take that. 22 points on two d10s. Hell yeah, dude! Do I have an ability or something that-- Okay. Where you off to now? Oh.

(laughs) I like this one. Derek: (sighs pleasantly) Anyway. Stay alive. (laughter) Darts out of the tent. Aria: Bye, Mythtaker. Silas: Honestly, good advice at this point. Gwen: Yeah. Borlan: Is Seth still in the tent? Uh, Seth's gathering his sack and stuff that he set down, puts on his shoulder strap, rearranges his cloak a little bit, and turns to the rest of you, takes his glasses off and folds them, puts them in their pouch. All right, I guess let me know when you're ready to head off and we will make our first stop. Gwen: We're ready. Borlan: I'll go over. I'm Nadia. Nadia. Oh. Pleasure to meet you. Shakes your hand. Borlan: I squeeze his hand a little. (sniffing) Derek: (snapping fingers) Come on. Did I smell anything weird? Make a perception check. Dirty 20. Dirty 20? It smells like sweat. It smells like leather and travel materials. You don't catch anything strange. There's no, nothing unexpected. This is a person who's been traveling for a bit and the common scents of a person who's probably a day and a half to two days since their last bath comes through. Well, lead the way! I will need you all to gather with me, please, quickly. Close enough. Reaches into a component pouch, pulls out a few things into the hand, flicks, looks at the rest of you. Begins to draw a sigil through the air, plucks up center part of the sigil and you see as they pull, some of the shape begins to form a loose, it looks like a map in the middle, a glyph that begins to show almost streets. As they pull it, they release it, it flicks into place, and then all of you feel yourself being pulled towards it. (whooshing) As you... Sick. Blink naturally, as your chest and sternum begin to pull a vacuum towards it, you blink and then you go back onto your back heels and you are now in the middle of a street. You are in a completely different location. Cool. That is so cool. All these amazing spells being shown recently. Chet, you can do that? Can't you do that? I mean, I did it in my 200s, but I try and mix it up a little bit. You got to learn that again. I still can't get over my mom doing the fucking Time Stop. Yeah. Time Stop? It was really cool. Yeah! My mom did this spell right before we left the moon where everything froze. Did you freeze? No no, we were still moving. It was amazing. It was pretty impressive. And terrifying. Yeah. Her mom is really cool. You said your mother was able to stop time? Yeah, it was really unique. I can slow it down a little bit, but only in a tiny bubble. Who is your mother? Her name is Liliana Temult. I do not know your mother. No. She seems powerful. She is. She's working directly underneath Ludinus, so he may have been teaching her some stuff. Right.

Input: from just the wind around it. It's keeping maybe a few dozen feet above the cracked and dry arid surface beneath you, right as the dark shadow begins to hit and wash. As it does, you feel the whole ship lurch. So we're now going into a skill challenge to help the ship make its way through-- uh, Makin' its way safely or not. We're looking at four success before two failures. Okay. As Xandis is shouting over the buffeting, heavy winds that push through, you can hear the captain shouting, "All right, everyone, hold on. "If you got something to hold on to, hold on to it. "If there's something that's extremely worth holding on to "and worth a lot, put it below deck!" Close up the hole. Oh, yeah. The hole is closed and very secured. All righty. So, who would like to attempt the first skill? Oh. Who's doing what to help batten down, protect and keep the storm at bay? Keep the storm at bay. Keep the storm at bay. Keep the storm at bay from the ship? Or at least keep it going through safely. Well, since I assume I'm holding on to a rope, and probably this is something that's helping to keep the sails aligned properly, I'm going to burn a Rage and just try and use the rope to pull the sail into the correct, since I assume there's a whole bunch of people trying to hang on. Fair enough. Indeed. The sails themselves are like billows. You're worried for the sound of splintering wood. But as you pull back on the rope, I need you to make a strength check for me with advantage because you burned a Rage for it. Oh, that was terrible. Oh my god. Eight. Yikes. Fuck. You pull and pull, and all of you at once hear a resounding sail snaps. Oh shit. You watch as one of the sails lurches and snaps in the center of it, and part of the top sail just gets torn off, sheared, and lost into the dust. Ah! Fuck. The shadow around you, the buffeting of sand hitting your face, stinging against your skin. Oh no. The ship begins to turn to one side before Xandis goes, "Somebody grab the other one, "see if we can break the other side, "I don't know, try and balance it. "Holy shit!" Is anybody strong? Nope. I am. Nope. I am. I go off running. Okay, okay. I'm strong as fuck! Old man strength. Go, Popeye, go! You just got to cut a sail off, right? We're trying to break it off? Yeah, I mean, sails are tied. We're trying to break a sail? What did they say to do? Whatever you want to do. We're balancing it? Xandis said, "I don't know, break it, balance it. "Whatever you got." Is there anybody-- Is there another sail we could throw on? I'll run over to the other, yeah, because there's one on each side, right? There's two on each side. Two on each side. So I'll run to the counterpart. Is there anybody over there trying to keep it all in? I'm like: What are we doing? Keeping it pulled in or are we watching.

Input: to move his hands up to his shoulder while you push into his mind and you recall meetings with figures from across the sea, coastal townships. Enabling part of the Treshi House shipment fleet to take on a few extra cargo pieces every now and then over a few years. No recognizable names coming to his mind or identifying traits to figures or anything like that? Hexum? But she's here. I'm talking about the people sending from Nicodranas. Across the way, no, they were largely representatives of. All right. They seem to be messengers and everything was kept very separate, very piecemeal, very divided intentionally, so as being hard to trace and track. But once shipments were brought across, once these deals were made, you see moments of shipments arriving in Jrusar, Treshi handling the arrivals and where the cargo would be distributed throughout the city. While himself not usually one so heavily invested or involved in this aspect of his family's business, definitely stepped up to take care of some of these ledgers himself personally. The name that gets signed on many of these ledgers for specific pieces of cargo, because it's a name you're familiar with, is Hexum. Cool, cool. The other thought, the other thing that creeps behind all this is a deep-seated fear of the people he's been working with. Ooh. You see flashes of him feeling like he is rushing to be protected, fleeing the city, coming to Bassuras, looking to the Paragon's Call for protection, for an opportunity to correct, repair. You see him in his little well-decorated, comfortable prison cell. You see flashes of tense conversations of finishing the final shipments, promises that once the final bits of goods are complete and delivered, then the Paragon's Call would be happy to correct this unfortunate public blowout. And through it all, this sense that he knew that there was something behind Otohan's eyes that he-- He was worried that that was going to be his final resting place, and a weird sense of relief that he's on this ship and heading back to Jrusar. Tried playing in the big leagues. Mm-hmm. At that point, he goes and rubs his eye on his meaty dwarven shoulder beneath his now slightly, well, actually now pretty dusty and filthy shirt and tunic before rubbing it in his face. You pull out of his mind for a second, have to get your bearings because you've been in there for the rest of the length of this spell. But by this point, the rest of the crew is now fixing the sails up, pulling them wide, and watching as they billow outward and the winds pick up, the ship now takes itself in a deep north- northwestern direction. I don't know, Julian. He says he doesn't have any reasons to tell us where he would want to go, but I can think of 10 reasons on his feet and 10 reasons on his hands. So listen, we just want to know where you would want to go besides Jrusar. Keep it up. There you go. Besides Jrusar, where would you want to go? Both of you roll an intimidation check. laughter. Intimidation. 17. 13-- 14. 14. To be honest, the Seat of Disdain "was one of the places "where I thought I would be safe, until you came. "Beyond that, maybe, "maybe I could lay low for

Input: Of course. Do you want the ring back? Yeah, get the ring, get the ring. Sure, depending on the price. How much is the ring? Well for this, based on the exorbitant amount that I paid for it initially, and the individual and the craftsmanship which is hails, thank you, I would put this at about 250 gold pieces. Oh, fuck that. Do his clientele ever come back to repurchase the jewelry? Is it like a pawn shop in that way? It's not a pawn shop. He's never going to come back for this, right? He very well might. It is part of our business. Oh, then maybe leave it here. All right, well, I would hate to deprive somebody of such a treasure. So, I'll leave it for now. But I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about it. I'm going to browse around and then come back. Watching. You can see the open energy seems to withdraw slightly, and the glance of, "Ugh, window shoppers," comes over. Of course, yes. Well, you know where to find us. He puts all the rings back in the wooden box and shunts it beneath the countertop, and immediately goes back to his counting. But keeping an eye on you as you go. Mm-hmm. His compatriot is still going like-- I didn't take anything, I promise. I'm just very indecisive. Come again. So now? So now we go to the Paragon's Call? You ready? Two, one. Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? You see the woman has reached under the counter and has grabbed a flintlock, and is like cocking gun. Oh, no, no.

Although that was awhile ago and very far away. I mean. The guy that beat the shit out of you. Yeah, he was like, if you ever want to go-- I mean, it was a pretty even fight. It was down to the wire.

I love the snaps. That is going to be a 15. 15. What's your DC? Is my DC. 13 plus two, yeah, no, it does. All right, it resists it.

That's your action. Then I'm going to take a bonus action. This is not starting well. Sorry, Sylvia, to disengage, to do Step of the Wind. Okay. And get out of there. Get out of there. Okay, where are you going? Yardy dardy dardy. Well. I want to get out of the way. I'm going to come back here down to Gideon. I'm super weak and I'm in the jaws of the monster. All right, and Step of the Wind, that means you're immune to opportunity attacks. I can disengage or dash. So you disengaged-- I disengaged. You moved, got it, you got it, cool.

This one's going to rush past to head over this direction. This one's going to stay down here, and these are both going to come and leap down to flank Dorian. While this one comes up to Nadia. Dorian, why aren't you raging? Only one of them runs past. You are holding your reaction. Which one do you want to strike? The one that's running past, I guess. Okay. She's given up already.

To try and deescalate you mean? Deescalate or go in and finish it quickly or get out or whatever you want to try and do. The choices are yours. But Elias, what'd you get? Nine. All righty. All righty. Just to talk it out above the table, if we try and deescalate, there's a person there that can read minds, so it probably won't go very well. Unless we tell the truth. They also can't read our minds. We could surrender. -- right now. We have the scroll up. Yeah. They can't read our minds I don't think with that scroll active. They can't. That's right.

I don't know what we're doing yet and I don't want to attack because I don't know if that's the right thing to do. It might be, but I don't know.

They use their movement to get right up to the sides here and are keeping close by. Well, that's bad. Maybe one of them is Zhesh. Maybe one of them is going to help us. All right, finishing the Shrikes' go. Maeve, you're up. Oh. What are we doing? Okay, what am I doing? Okay, I want to get them inside I feel like. We can try and talk out of it if you want to, or we could get captured. Either way, it takes us to the city we want to go to. I ain't worried about going to jail. To get captured? I can't go back! Shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. I did feel like we just increased numbers to incentivize something besides a violent encounter. A fight? (laughs) Just to talk it out. That's a lot of, it's our equal to our party. Yeah, but we're fucking badasses. We're Bells Hells. Always. Always. We never lost a fight, except for that time that Maeve died. We definitely want.

Input: Perception check. 17. 17. You don't notice any difference. It has a very pale thrumming glow to it, anyway. Then you do notice it pulses brighten. Uh, you're not quite certain why, but it seems like there are occasional ever so faint little bursts of light. From what part of it? The whole thing? Throughout. Does it seem to radiate, almost like a signal, or just all at once? Or different sections. Boop, boop. Yeah. With a 17, I'd say you can just barely make out it seems to go from the bottom up ever so faintly. Hmm. Ja, okay, so here is our column. Mm. Huffs. What happens next? Is this where we split up? It might be. This might be. Everyone's abandoning this place? Sort of leaving? It looks like folks are in the process-- A number of military are escorting the populace out through other tunnels along the base. Where do we even find-- We could all meet up with Gaz in the Villums. If they're going to cause a huge distraction, maybe that's a good time to strike. Oh, to strike. And just be aware. But we'll have to talk to Gaz. This Gaz person. Do you know when that is? Yeah, how far is Gaz from right here? Yeah. Well, the Villums are-- You glance down and you can see it's a large portion of the neighborhood. Saying they'll meet you in the Villums is like, "I'll meet you in Hollywood."

What does he look like? What does he like? Oh boy. Oh, oh, he looks like this. Yes. All right, I'm going to send a message to Gaz. Better make sure they know that it's-- Do they know Bells Hells? Do they know what you're called and-- Yeah, you're damn right. Yeah. All right. So, Arthur, are you okay? You pushing yourself too hard, in case we need to-- In case we need to-- Yeah, throw down. Eugh. There will be throwing. I mean, snorts. You're here. Julian, you're strong. You got so many spells. What about you, Miss Temult? Do you think maybe you could reach out to this Gaz individual? I could. I have less spells than I think you or Arthur does, but I can give it a try. Of course. I might be able to regain some if we have a short rest, so maybe it would make sense for me to do it. That's fair. That's fair. Yeah. Wouldn't mind a short rest either. We might get one in the Villums, or they might be about to strike. Hard to know. Let's get a little-- Maybe we can rest once we find Gaz. I mean, it'd be good to know our timeline here, so we should reach out regardless. All right, I'll reach out. Okay.

Did you see that? He had a sign, and then things happened.

I could do that. I could be a distraction--
To the front lines again! The Last Line!
You see as the armored soldiers go back out there into the field. They get into the center. They form a phalanx back to back in the center as they look around in any direction, and you hear (grunting) (roaring) and two gates open. From each gate, two large-looking figures come charging out. You see these sprinting, dark, humanoid creatures with giant horns out of the front of their head. Two minotaurs come charging into the center. Immediately, they both break into two groups and try to head them off, shields up. One of them gets thrown, taking the impact of the blow. Knocked back onto his ass, three feet back. The other one gets gored immediately, the horns piercing his armor and throwing him into the air. As this happens, you notice now they're both wielding large axes, and they start cleaving into the opponents. They're giving up a good fight, and it goes back and forth for a bit, but at one point you watch one drop, and another drop. A third one gets grabbed and picked up and then broken over the knee of one of the minotaurs.

But as you release your Calm Emotions, you can see the look of tension and fear on the crew's face begin to subside and turn to concentration.

Input:
the city by the Volition. You also see that within there, there are a number of tools and blankets, as well as some damaged, some not as well as some damaged, some not glass blade weapons. But this definitely feels like it was a space for people to hide out.
Okay.
Can Marcus look for any blades that could be fashioned into a crossbow bolt head?
Yeah, if you wanted to take a short rest to try and break through some of this glass, you could definitely repurpose for a few crossbow bolts.
If we have the time. I'll just grab a piece for now.
Okay. So you grab one up there.
About this time, Cedric busts in, and shortly behind you, the door bursts open and closes behind.
Okay. So I checked in with her. They're figuring it out. She's actually going to come talk to you, probably about an hour or two.
Got some things to button up, some numbers to cross over, some things to tie around.
Then, yeah, we'll figure out what you need.
What were you doing?
We're going to get in contact with our friends--
Would you like a cookie?
-- and coordinate--
I'd love whatever that is.
-- and coordinate an attack. But we all need to be on the same timetable.
If he's never had had a cookie, this is going to be a second. I think we may have just lost him for a minute.
What--
Sugar.
-- miracle have you bestowed upon me?
Yeah. It's pretty amazing, right?
Well, that's the end of Arthur.
This one's got chocolate chips. Extra chocolate!
Is there more of these?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a whole bunch. I figured, we're you're going to the moon! We got to-- Here.
If you cooperate with us and we can coordinate our attacks.
Yes. My friend Braius has--
You drive a hard bargain.
I do.
Well, yeah. He has a point. I feel like maybe we're sort of horning in on, maybe bogarting part of your plan.
Yeah.
We don't really know why you're planning this explosive attack. We obviously have our plans. Can you tell us why this is happening, instead of when?
Well, we of the Volition, we've been trying to...
Right. We of the Volition have been working for most of our lives tirelessly, and many of us for generations now at this point to undermine and destroy the tyranny of the Weave Mind. They rule all the people of this entire space, this realm, with an an iron brain. We've gotten close, maybe relatively close a few times. We figure if we can take out like one or two, that'd be great. If we could take them all out, fine.
There's a lot going on and it's going to be very distracted.
With the people leaving, there's a lot less collateral damage to do something really crazy.
It sounds like we are aligned then. This is very exciting!
I'm a big fan of really crazy.
So if you set off all of your really crazy explosions, we can go in and kill the Weave Mind.
That sounds awesome!
I know! I really like you.
I like you, too. Give me more.
Thanks.

Make an investigation check if you want to scan through. Yeah. My investigation sucks, but fuck it. 11. 11. You pour through. You find a lot of burnt spider bits. Nothing else really catches your attention, unfortunately. You know, I was going to leave, but if I see Nadia picking around in it. I will go and what are you looking for? I don't know. Yeah, nests are nests, you never know if something interesting gets stashed. Okay, can I Will Graham the room? Will Graham! (clapping) I love you so much. What a good reference. Sure. I needed that so badly. Thank you. So that is... 23. 23? Yeah. To look and see if I see anything in the cavity where the egg sac was. Right, okay. Yeah, as you kind of, and this'll take you a while to do so because you guys are pouring through a bunch of burning rubble having to wait for it to cool off in some areas and take weapons you have and shove off sections of burning, charcoaled husks that were a part of the egg sac and broken, destroyed spider baby corpses just falling onto the ground into ash. I will also look for any whole, cooked spider babies. There's probably a few if you want to. You can probably grab a few. I'll pick up two or three while I'm searching. Easy enough to grab. Easy enough to grab. You do find a jeweled case, about that big, that is wrapped in leather and part of one of the handfuls of other webbed pouches similar to the other deflated, mud-caked interior-ed web pouches you saw in the main chamber. I'm going to call over my shoulder to the group. Are we in a hurry? Do I have 10? Sure, take your time. Yeah, do it. I uh, I uh dithering I pick it up. Okay, you grab it. Gideon, come here! What?

I'm just going to do-- I'll try to unlock it. Since we're taking 10, quick Prayer of Healing. Okay. 32. 32. Can you spell your name? You look at it. The lock is-- the actual design of it, as you get a chance to then get the dust off of it, it's like a dark, black wood, though it did not burn, with a little bit of a metallic, iron trim on all sides and the lock itself is a unique key-shape that you've not seen before. It looks weirdly like a

And I will pull out my middle finger and say you make a shitty god, you bedazzled cephalopod! And I will cast Banishment. Derek: Oh, yeah! Elias: Yes! Game Master: Okay. Derek: Bravo! Elias: Do this.

Much needed sleep comes to you all. Yes. (buzzes lips) Yes, thank gods. Woof. It's going to be fine. Long rest. Rowan. At some point, the fuzziest of half-consciousness comes to you.

(gasps) Are you wearing your armor-- (laughs) Ow. -- when you sleep? Oh no! You're definitely the big spoon, right? I learned this the hard way. Yeah, are your goat knees in his back? Yeah. Yes. Yeah, I think I'm the big spoon. I'm holding onto them-- Hot. -- from the back, my head in-- Draw it. -- the nape of Fiona's neck. Okay. As you lay there, your eyes flittering open in that Vaseline on the lens, fuzzy, uncertain if conscious or not feeling pushes through your blurry blinks.

As you glance over and begin to focus, you see this tiny, fuzzy, gray sugar glider-like creature-- (excited gasp) -- with these dark eyes-- I love sugar gliders. -- and these long ears that go into these little poofs at the edges. It has its arms curled up on your shoulder, and it's-- (chittering) Hello. Can you understand me? I'm going to shut up. It skitters off your shoulder. It's a trap. Well, I've got to follow it. Okay. I go back to sleep. (laughter) Okay. That was weird! (laughter) That was weird. I'm just so tired. (laughter) It's the altitude. (laughter) How cute. I'll follow it. Okay, are you trying to carefully pull away? Yes, yes. Okay, so I need you to make a stealth check for me. Okay. To absolve yourself of Fiona-- (harsh clink) Oh! (laughs) Remove your thumb. (pop) I think that's an autofail. Sorry. Sheesh! Okay. 15. Okay. Make a stealth check for me-- Sorry, your passive perception is halved-- Yeah. -- at the moment, because you're sleeping. Yeah. Because you're asleep. That's 33 halved, so 16. 33! And you rolled a? 15. 15. Jesus Christ. You monster. What's your passive perception? Oh. Halved. It's 11. Okay. Nice.

He's going to come looking for-- He made it pretty obvious he's coming back. He wants you to be the one that Predathos goes into. The vessel. Oh. I'm sorry, did you say that dragon was Rowan's father? How does that? So not the dragon, but there's a mean guy who rides the dragon. Oh, okay. Yes. But the dragon's name is Gloamglut.

We can't let him take you. If that's what he wants then-- No, no, no, no. No. How did he find you? That's what I was thinking. We've made our presence pretty well known, you guys. Sure, but we bamfed down from the moon. We walked a distance. We were asleep in a tent in cover from the sky. He came through the bridge as well, right after us? Then we're in an outpost not that far from the Malleus Key. I mean, he did tease me a little bit, and I woke up and there was a cute little creature and I followed it.

Do you have jewelry or a piece of armor or something from his like a heirloom, or--? We shook off the people at the bottom of the Malleus Key, so how was he able to come right to you? I mean-- We got to tell the Tempest because this place is compromised. Yeah, yeah. I mean, is it just me because I'm-- his kid? I mean, maybe they know where this encampment is, and maybe they sent a little-- What kind of creature was it? It was a sugar glider. Whatever that is. Aw, that is really cute. Oh man, yeah. I know. What was I supposed to do? There's no spotting that. As a note to you, this fortress isn't hidden, you know? It's an encampment that's built up to defend itself, and the position where it is is defensible, but-- Still infiltratable. It's defensible, but it's not-- Yeah. -- cloaked or hidden. (sighs) All right. I mean, it would have been, a little rodent was able to

Game Master: Seven points of fire damage to everybody. Borlan: It's up to you guys. Kaelen: I just know it was a war of attrition. Julian's about to go down. Rowan: Yeah, I mean, if I'm low-- Elias: The treasure could help a lot the people in the V.O. community! Game Master: Oh no, what'd you get? Borlan: 10. Sylvia: It belongs to the people of the V.O. community. Game Master: 10? 10, you barely scoot by. Borlan: I'd have to roll a one and a two in order to... Game Master: Yeah, I know. I know.

That fire blast took them down to only 10 hit points, and you said four then six. Oh! Oh! Oh! Okay. Yeah, nice! What does that mean, mean, mean? Was that the prime? The prime was here, yeah. Okay, okay. Holy shit. No fucking way. I'm just going to get up on my knees and my-- stammers I can't do this. I can't make this cool. I just shoot them out from all fours. Okay, so, standing up there at the top, you see lording in the red light, the shadow version of you that's taunted the exterior, the very far edge of your dreams and nightmares cackling up above, as you unleash this series of blasts of flame. Some of them go wide in your fury. The last one strikes true. As it does (crackling) you see it impacts and seems to vanish, continues to laugh. It takes one big breath, and you watch as this low, dull, glowing crack begins to splinter throughout before shattering it shatters like a white-hot mirror into a thousand pieces on top, just scattering out and plummeting to the ground in hundreds and hundreds of shards of broken glass. Then, I just look at Mister. Please help. I'm going to have him take Flaming Seed and shoot at the last standing. Last one? Last meanie. Go for it. Have him roll. The last one stays up even through prime went down, right? Even though the other one-- Mm-hmm. Is that the last one-- Yeah, that's a natural 19-- on the map? -- plus stuffs. That hits. Oh, she's right next to us. Features and Traits. (concentration noises) Okay. Roll big. Okay, okay. Too many Fearnes. Too many Fearnes. That will be-- Oops! All Fearnes. Why am I-- What are you? Sorry. (laughs) (searching hums) Does Mister throw out his poops? Wait a minute. He's got a gun now. Excuse me? Yeah. Yes. Guess what he uses for ammunition in the gun. Oh. What'd you say? Guess what he uses for ammunition in his gun. Poops? Yeah. His own crap.

Input: We need to put dust everywhere. Or Entrapment with Sean Connery and Catherin Zeta-Jones. Yes, ooh, better reference. Then I alert everybody to the hole in the corner. I feel like we should keep our eyes up there. Uh, I cast Bless. Okay. On you. All right. And Tim. And Sarah. Can someone come cut me out of there?! Are you stuck? The room is illuminated, yeah? The room is illuminated. Thank you. Very gently. I just got the standard Light spell up on my staff. Uh, who gets Blessed, you said? Tim, Sarah, and Nadia. All right, there we go. Here, actually, let me give you a visual-- Oh, there's a map! I've been waiting. I don't know what this is, but just in case, if we go into combat, it will be powered by Dwarven Forge. Guys, they have a free download of their 406-page Dungeon of Doom module available on their website now, but only if we go into combat. If not, doesn't exist. I'm sure we can talk our way out of spiderwebs. So Gideon, you are currently caught there as you're rounding the corner with the section that had fallen in. Ooh, blue light happening. What's that little gold stuff on the ground there? Is there something cool? Is there treasure? It's just rubble... that you know of. It's just rubble. Fruity Pebbles. Yeah, I see it. All right, so the rest of you have emerged in this vicinity. I don't like it. I don't like it and I feel trapped. What are you guys doing? Gideon, Gideon! Where are you? Oh, shit. I'm over here! I'm going to stomp up and down and see if any dust gets caught. I'm going to see if I can follow Gideon. I would like you to make a sleight of hand check. Oh, boy. With disadvantage. Sure. Oh, that was a natural 20, but the other one gives me a 17. 17, okay. You stomp your feet a bit. Oh no. Oh god. Do I see them? Do you see him, yeah? You see the web move a little bit and a little bit of dust. Okay, I walk over and try to reach for her. Yeah, you reach out and you grab ahold of Gideon. Oh, okay. Just take out, oh, shit, you don't have a blade! I do, I do. I've got my-- But don't cut me! But I'm not going to be visible. Fire, fire. Pull her back, pull her back. Gently. Gently away. Slowly. If there is any little bit of stretch. Point of order here, too. The Light spell that you cast, it flared up and over these moments that have happened, it's slowly withered to about half its strength. Oh no. That's really bad. As opposed to the bright torchlight, it seems to be a diminished 30-foot radius. Most of the chamber, it's nowhere near as bright as you thought it would be and it's not something you've encountered before. Outside of maybe elements of the depths of the Savalierwood. Sure. As soon as I see Beauregard pull her back a bit, a small amount of flame appears in my hand and I flick it towards that little bit of.
