Input: 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. Uh, a third one gets grabbed and picked up and then broken over the knee of one of the minotaurs. At which point, you see the elven general begins to look around nervously and starts waving his hand to call it off just as one of them gores him from behind. Thank you. He gets thrown ten feet, landing onto the ground rolling, unconscious. His blade clattering in the dirt. There you see Gunther in the center with two warhammers in his hands, blood down his face going, "Come on!" They both come charging in at him from two different sides. Last minute, he darts backward, causing them to collide into each other. As they're stunned, he rushes up and jams his hammer into the head of one of them. Once. Twice. One of the minotaurs goes down, and right as he pulls back, the second minotaur gets him from behind. Watching. You watch as a horn pierce where his liver is, and he falls unconscious on the ground. They fall. The final minotaur roars up into the air and the whole crowd goes, "Oh!" You watch as two groups come out with chains and manacles and manage to grapple and throw them down. The lasting minotaur passes out in the chains and they drag him back off the field. The two clerics rush out into the field and prevent death to those who are in the process of slipping. With that, The Last Line is pulled back, the first fallen out here in the field. Fiona: That was intense. Would we be able to have fought those two minotaurs? Gwen and Elara: I don't know. Marcus: No! Of course not! DM: "The first fallen in the tournament!" Elara: Focus on one target at a time. DM: "Let us greet back to the field, The Mighty Nein!" The doors open once more. Gwen: She's Cure Woundsing me! DM: All righty. Where do you guys wish to be placed? Fiona: Is it possible to climb up on one of the walls? DM: If you'd like to try. Fiona: I'm going to try and climb up on top of the wall. DM: Make an atheltics check real fast. Gideon: Am I able to take a potion of healing? DM: Yeah. Fiona: That's really good. This one, sure. Why not. DM: This one here? Fiona: Yeah. DM: All righty. Elara: I'll back up into that far corner. DM: This one here? Elara: Yeah. Fiona: It's a 22. DM: Yeah, you're fine. Gwen: I'll move here. DM: Arthur? Marcus: Dead center. I'm going to cast Mage Hand. DM: Okay. Kaelen? Gideon: I'm going to stand by Derek, actually. DM: Okay. You're with Derek there? Gideon: Yeah. Fiona: Clara, ten points. Gwen: Yes! I love you, Dorian! DM: All righty. As you guys all take your place, two gates immediately open again. You hear two sources of this loud, deep (howling). Leaping through both sides, you see two massive, white furred wolves come leaping through into a full sprint. Fiona: I Invoke Duplicity in the middle of the-- next to Arthur. DM: From this side and this side here. You Invoke Duplicity? Fiona: Yeah, next to Arthur. DM: Next to Arthur. All righty, I need you all to roll

Input: more careful who you talk to out there. Do not-- Well you're going to anyway, but try not to seem like tourists. That's how you get robbed. I'm going to run over to the bartender. Erika: I-- uh-- take off the paper crown. Tim: In here, it's fine. (laughter) No, in here is fine. Cedric: The paper crown. Dorian: (laughs) Tim: It suits you. All right. You rush over to the bar and there you see the orcish gentleman that MCed the battle earlier. You see him. He's late 20s, little bit about an early receding hairline, but the long hair comes to a nice series of curls at the shoulder. A very nice deep green tunic that's deep cut with the threads of this thick cording woven between that's pulled to a bow in the center. Big fluffy sleeves and all manner of jewelry across the fingers. Looks up at you with these deep set gray, green eyes and just a very well kept grin with just a little bit of a dark lip coloration across to just emphasize the features. Kind of leans in. "Hi. How can I help you?" Clara: Hi. Do you know of a place here called Joe's? "Joe's?" Clara: Joe's. Erika: Or is there anybody that goes by that name that might have an establishment of some sort? "Nothing rings a bell to me. Hold on. "Denal! "Do you know of a Joe's? Denal? The waitress dressed as Zan Tal'Dorei comes around the corner and goes, "Joe's? You mean like "over in The Ends Joe's?

Okay. Maeve: This is really promising. Clara: Oh, this is really promising. The music box that you have hanging from the ceiling. "Yes?" Clara: Is that for sale? "No." Clara: Why not? (laughter) "Most of the decor here was carefully imported "from Tal'Dorei. "These are all genuine relics "from across the seas--" Oh my god. "-- of the Ozmit. "Everything you see here has been acquired "and carefully maintained as part of our "historical collection so we could bring to you "nothing but the most authentic Tal'Dorei experience." Hollywood Museum. Well, may I, may I propose a trade? I happen to have items from Tal'Dorei. (gasps) Specifically, specifically... I pull in my fur. I pull out an old teacup that is chipped, but it has a portrait that says... Where did it go? Sorry. This is taking so long. (laughs) It's a big build up. Oh, there it is. It's a portrait of a woman, and underneath it it reads, The Lady of Whitestone. "Mm." I purchased this for a very high amount. From-- I've never been there, but this is from a... It was from there. (laughter) Make a persuasion check. 16. 16. He takes a glance at it. Describe to me how you acquired this, if you don't mind. How I really acquired it? Yeah. This was taken when we went to Stilben, and was around when we went with Opal and Dariax and I-- In Kymal? No. Julian: Back in-- Or Byroden? Byroden? Is it Byroden? Byroden. There you go. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Input: is an attack roll, and it's a short bow. He said about 80 feet, but the farthest one's about 100 feet. Which means it is in its second range increment, so the one in the back is at disadvantage. Uh, I'm not proficient in this thing at all, right? Well, let's go ahead and see. Rogue proficiencies. It's a simple ranged weapon. You should be. I'm pretty sure you are. Yep, simple weapons. You are proficient with the short bow. Who's going first, if you don't mind me asking? Let me show my daughter how it is done. Of course, understood. Watching. Hands you one of the short bows off of the side and three arrows. They're all right in their construction. Watch my form and technique. I pick up the bow, and I take the stick thing. I pull it back like this. Oh-- I-- Yeah? No, continue. Uh, (sneezes). Which target are you aiming for? The farthest one, obviously. The farthest? All right, with disadvantage. Add your dexterity modifier. Oh. I do not think you're proficient-- Aww, no, not at all. That is a three. Well, as a wizard, you might be, actually. For simple weapons. Nope. No, you are not. Is it just simple weapons, or is it simple ranged weapons? Well, it's simple ranged weapons, but those count as simple weapons. Simple weapons, okay. It gets about 40 or so feet before it gets stuck in the dirt. He's like, "That was good." Hmm. The fretching on that one was probably not very good. Let me try again. I think it's fletch-- yeah. Listen, I have read a lot of books. I know it is fretching. You nock your secondary arrow. Take a shot. Nope. Dang it. The second rolls are always really good! That is an eight. This one gets about five feet further and almost hits a squirrel. You hear (squeaking), and it darts off into a nearby bush. You could have got your own prize! One more shot. You can do this! This is not well-crafted. I grab my wire that I use for the message spell, and I put my hair into a little ponytail. You shouldn't use wire to do that, Derek. It damages your hair. (pew) Okay. Oh no. Ten. This one gets 40 feet, which is halfway there, before it hits the ground and sticks into the dirt. As soon as it finishes, there's like a, "That was good. Go fetch that." The other guard runs out and grabs the arrows to retrieve them. Full disclosure: I have no athletic ability. That went as well as I expected it to. That is surprising. Well, a fine Harvest Close to you, friend, and for your daughter. Yes, it's my turn. Hands the bow over, and a set of three arrows. He's going with the dice jail dice! You should not have done that. Do I add proficiency and-- Proficiency and your dex mod. 11. This one arcs. It almost gets near the target, but ends up veering off to the right and ends up vanishing behind one of the secondary targets near the tree. He says, "Yeah, that was better than your father." What is that? 12. This one hits the actual base of the far target. Misses the target entirely, but it hits the actual plank of wood

Input:
I've had drams where other people have been sick in them, and I've been around, The whole dream has been around this person who is progressively getting more ill.
Uh, and those dreams are really depressing. Because, even though, again, I'm aware that I'm in a dream, I can't do anything to help them, I feel like. And I still feel sad because seeing this dream sad version that I've made up, of them getting more dead, is really saddening. This is so strange. This is really bizarre.
I think one of... This is why Inception was so good.
I think one of the weirdest dreams I had, which actually would be a cool concept, is I remember one time, I woke up, and for some reason, I knew I was the second coming of Christ.
I knew I was... The chosen one. I knew I was the Messiah. The chosen one. I knew I was the Messiah, but the problem is... I believe that's called the sigma male, Christ.
So the problem is, The problem is, I knew I was the Messiah, but for the life of me I could not prove it to the world. So I would try to go out... You sound like every crazy guy.
So I would out and I would perform miracles, I would go out, I would walk on water, and shit like this, and I remember I would be like, "Guys, I am the Messiah." And everyone would be like, "That's a magic trick. Where's the mirrors at? Where's the mirrors at? And it was just me getting progressively more, more, more and more anger. I think I even went on Joe Rogan at one point in this dream.
"I am Jesus Christ. I am Jesus Christ." Be like, "I am Jesus Christ.", and he goes, "Prove it then." And I remember I... "I'll turn the frogs gay right now."
And I remember I took my hand out, and I just made fire in my hand. And he's like, "That's not impressive. I've seen magicians do that. Do something real. Do a real miracle."
All I'm hearing is, the dream gotten wasn't actually about you becoming a god, it was that you're furious with the current state of magic, catching up to real life miracles.
It was me thinking, if there was an actual Messiah that got born into our world, how would they go about proving it? What would they need... Do sorcery.
That was just me... it's very hard in the modern era, because of special effects and all this stuff.
Well, now that you say that, someone's going to make a fucking Jesus Isikai. Literally take that concept. I'm Jesus and I was reborn into this world.
I remember waking up, I was just like, "That's a really cool concept." I'm glad my, That was a cool concept. Jesus Isikai. Fucking copyright that.
Now that you've said it. Copyright that right now. Now that I've said it, someone can go write a story about it. I don't fucking know.
Have you guys ever had sleep paralysis? Yes. One time. One time. I have literally seen sleep paralysis demons. Have you? Yes I have. Okay. I've never seen. Wait, that's not a meme? Yeah. It's not a meme. I've never gotten to the demon part, but I've definitely had it. Because I

Input: door. You notice, Dorian, too, the corpses of the spiders, as you pick them up, they're hot to the touch. Not scalding, but there's a heat to them. uh, Dorian, do you know what this is? Where are we? I have a feeling we should not eat these, so I'm going to put these aside. Just intuition. All right. So you put the key in and then you turn it. Well, I'm holding off for just a minute because there's mist coming through here. Yeah, and it's just like-- Maybe Detect Magic? I'm out. I've only got one of them. Yeah, can we just give a looksee of the pillars? Yeah, perception check, both of you guys. 20. I've run into it. I rolled one. While Dorian's rubbing the nose, it's a little bit flattened by the impact, you glance around. At least you can keep raging. I'm okay. These pillars, nothing particular about them strikes you. They're mainly just load bearing and meant to design a symmetrical entrance to this. No writing, no everything. All right, everybody through the door-- Hold on, hold on, does the mist seem like normal mist or does it seem like creepy mist or like it could be poisonous? It looks like mist. Make a perception check. You know what, nature check, nature check. You can see the mist. Nature. Yes. Eight. Eight. Looks like mist. I think it's just mist. All right, everybody in. Let's light this candle. Hold on, I haven't unlocked it yet. You turn it. I'm sticking back with Sylvia. The metal swings (creaks). You push it off to the side and the lattice can be pulled apart, pulls open to one side or both and slides inside the doorway, opening the entrance way, and as you all approach, you can see, the light source is still cast in the center of the chamber. You can move it if you want or cast it again, but you can see this mist just coasting across the floor, making its way towards the chamber you were just in. Does it look like a hallway or is there a back that we can see? Currently, you see a hallway that goes back about to the edge of your visual range. What's your darkvision? 60 feet. 60 feet, okay. So yeah, you can see the back. You can see the hallway continues on and just, there's a wall. Just a dead end? Doesn't look like a T? Correct, well, from what you can see here. The mist seems to be higher and thicker the further in you go. It's coming down, then, from-- Above? Unless there's a grate that's up off the floor or something. Does it look like it's continuing to roll out into this room? Or is it just dissipating in a certain point? It's dissipating as it enters the room. It's coming down. All right, all right, everybody, now that we're by the door, Sylvia, do your-- You either go in a couple of-- well, you know what, nevermind, I have a different idea. I cast Dancing Lights and the four globules go into a little row, illuminating the crack from this room into that back chamber and I make sure that the Glove of Blasting is on tight and I throw out three Scorching Rays at the

of a lifetime. We've been planning it for weeks. We started on the Menagerie Coast. We went through the Cyrios Mountains. We stopped at Deastok. Hupperdook is crazy! There are these gnomes that just party all night. It's wild! It's off the hook! We went to this beast city. Turns out goblins are actually kind of cool. I was wrong the whole time. It's amazing! We've had a blast.
Wow.
You seem really happy.

Input: well. Oh! I'll go towards it. You all, in this space, you can pick up, in this stillness here, you all pick up the sound of the scream of Silas. Ah! (laughter) Whoa! Ah! I will move toward it. I'm going to take out my pan flute-- Oh! Okay. -- and play some music so that I can be found easily. Okay, cool. So you start playing the music and you all can-- All except for Nadia can hear the music playing from above. In the interim, Nadia, the ship begins to head back down in an attempt to find out where it might be and where the rest of these folk can possibly be. But it does have to travel downward quite a bit. It's not like a pan flute of nightmares or something. We're not all instantly-- (laughter) I was just thinking I should take out a stick of dynamite and light it and be like (sizzling). (laughter) It's a flare! (dynamite explodes) Elias-- It's a one-armed gnome. -- since you were a bit back on this, make a perception check for me, please. Six. Six? Okay. Oh, plus six. That's 12. 12? That's better. So yeah, you can faintly pick up both the distant shout of Silas and the faint shifting of music in a specific direction. Okay. You pry yourself off the jagged elements of this rock, and begin to wheel through. It's not easy to wheel through this now freshly scattered sand and dust, pushing over each rolling dune as you do. Do I have to do that thing where I put a plank of wood and roll over it? It's not quite that bad. Okay. R2D2 can do it. What's the matter with you? That's true. That's true. But you all begin to slowly gather and head in the direction of the noise, getting louder and louder, the music getting louder. Silas, as you're playing, roll a perception check for me. Oh man. Get a bad perception check. Yeah, it's with that Jethro Tull. 14. 14. Okay. 14. You're playing. 14. You glance around and you can see some of the shapes, humanoid shapes approaching, and at first, you feel a bit guarded, but you recognize these are your friends. You're properly calling them to you. Great. You also notice that the area you're sitting in, it seems to be growing. The sand dunes around you are shifting texture. Huh. Oh no. They're getting taller. Oh boy. Or you're... sinking lower. You feel a vibration to the ground where your feet are planted partially into the sand as you begin to (sinks). Okay, I'm going to get up and I'm going to try to hop, hop, hop out. I'm going to Mirthful Leap. Going to Mirthful Leap? Yes. Okay. Leaping out of partially embedded sand is not the easiest. I will say, make a, because you have Mirthful Leap, I'll give you advantage on it. Make a strength check for me with advantage, please. Okay. (goat bleats) (goat bleats) Okay. Oh! Natural 19. Natural 19 plus? A strength check? Oh, minus two. 17. 17's still very good. You with all your might push out from the inside of this conical, sinking space that you

Input: different opening into a chamber. Oh, as soon as I see the opening-- uh, I cast Freedom of Movement on Julian. Okay, Beauregard, you have Freedom of Movement. Dope. Anybody else do anything before you get to him? Mirror Image. Freedom of Movement on Cedric. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'll throw up Mage Hand. Sure. I'm casting Mirror Image. Mirror Image on yourself, all right. Anything else? Okay. Can I do something else? Or since I cast Freedom of Movement, is that my only thing I can do? As you're approaching... They begin to slow down as they get to the edge point. You can do it if you want to keep it subtle. Right before we go through, I wanted to Invoke Duplicity. Okay, yeah, that's easy enough. Okay. You can do it. Okay. So Duplicity has been Invoked. This plan cannot fail. Oh my god. We have the element of surprise... We got to go fast. What are we doing? Just go in and attack. We're just? This feels like the most we've planned and the least we've planned all at the same time. Literally, I think we go in immediately and attack, the minute we go through the door. As you guys enter the chamber-- what could go wrong? There are still those pockets of torchbloom that give off a little bit of light throughout the chamber, but it's still a heavily shaded space. You see the familiar stalactites that curl down from the ceiling. This, you're pretty sure, is the exact chamber where you first encountered Vokodo, just from a different perspective. You found an entrance from another side. The temperature in here is quite hot. The water itself, it's beginning to numb the skin a little bit in places with the volume of heat that's within. Any sign of Vokodo? Make a perception check. I'll join in that. Maybe he's busy, operating the volcano. Yeah, the levers and stuff. Yeah, exactly. He's the wizard. Yeah! Okay, 18? 17. Hmm. Okay. You glance up and catch the first sight as in the ceiling portion where he was first spotted when you came through, you see these burning red orbs, these angry eyes, four of them, looking back in your direction, as tendrils and it pulls its way down like some sort of massive coal-colored cephalopod. Cool, cool. What have you done? And as he yells, the whole chamber quakes angrily. Guiding Bolt. Yeah! Well, we're going to go ahead and take a break. And jump back into this beforehand, but as part of that, let me go ahead and set the battle map. Oh, boy. This impending TPK is brought to you by Dwarven Forge. The journey out into the Wildlands, Dwarven Forge's eighth terrain Kickstarter, launches this weekend. Check it out at DwarvenForge.com/Wildlands. Sometimes I see him buying pretty things, and then I learn later that they're to destroy us. That is beautiful! Oh, it's for all the fish you don't have. Yeah! Any time you see an aquarium receipt on your credit card bill, please text us. We've got a early warning system! I will! There we go. Pet store? No, no, something's

Input:
then everything just gets better. I don't know. I don't know. It's a load of shit, really. thank you.
Your brain works one step at time. uh, I mean, it should be. I don't know. It's all weird. I feel like no one really understands their body. We're all just guessing. We're all just doing, watching. We're like plague doctors tying to figure out our thing, with our own weird rituals. I think we all just have a thing that we feel comfortable with, and somehow it works.
Well, we've sorted it. We've been ill enough times to know how our body reacts to certain things, and to deal with certain things. Everyone bodies is different.
Yeah. I'll sit there and laugh at all these plage doctors from the 18th century, and then I'll just be like, "I'm going to will power my disease away." It's only, really, Have we changed at all? I don't think so. I think we've just gotten smarter while keeping the stupid.
You know what will fix my sore stomach? McDonald's.
Dude, exactly. That's what I'm saying.
Before COVID, how often did you guys get sick per year?
Once a year.
Once a year?
Are we counting food poisoning because I feel like, food poisoning, to me-
You seems to get food poisoning a lot.
Food poisoning, to me, I don't count as getting sick.
No. That's definitely sick.
That is illness. That is illness.
Hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out. Because it's like if I poisoned Garnt, you wouldn't be like, "Oh, Garnt got sick." You'd be like, Garnt was poisoned. It's a different kind of vibe. It's just sickness. It's not like something you treat. It's like, "You got food poisoning? "Yeah. "You're fucked" You're fucked. Just deal with it. I don't know.
What?
What? Wait, do you know what food poisoning is?
Yes.
It's not like someone slipped cyanide into your McDonald's.
No, I know. I know. But it's like, It's not caused by a natural cause of sickness or a bacterial or virus. It's like something went wrong and fucked up.
No. No.
No. It is.
It is. It is - It is.
No, I know. I know. But it's not like you got it by accident or something. You know what I mean? Like you stumbled across it. Something had to go wrong of it to be there.
No, I think it's by accident.
Yeah.
No. No No.
You wouldn't know if something's wrong with the food unless you try it.
No, I know. That's why I'm saying I don't count that as the natural quote of getting sick. Because, let's say you undercook chicken and there's salmonella in it, that's fucked. You're done.
Yeah. But that's not the fault of the person who undercooked the chicken, that's the fault of the salmonella-
Well, that is why you cook the chicken.
Which is the disease that comes naturally.
Yeah. But that's not something you come across naturally. That's not something you would normally come across.
What do you mean by "come across"? Do you mean just on the street. Be like, "Oh, there's salmonella."
It takes something carried. Garnt is carrying a normal, I don't know, cold or whatever. It's a different category in my mind. I don't know.
Well, not every raw piece of chicken has salmonella, but there is

Output:
- The group discussed how humans intuitively manage their bodies through rituals, comparing themselves to historical plague doctors.

Input: hello Kaelen. Hi Kaelen. Okay, so what we're going to do today is tell the people at home all about the good stuff they get when subscribing to Twitch. Oh, I dunno what Twitch is, but that sounds good, let's go. No, that's perfect, 'cause this works for you, too, then. Okay so, there's a professionally-moderated live chat, and if you subscribe, you can post the links in the chat. Like a link to a cool hamster video? Exactly like that. So what we do here is tell like, really cool stories, right? And sometimes like crazy shit happens when we're telling those stories, and people that subscribe get special emotes so you can express how you feel. What if you live on the side of Exandria where it's really late, and you're like, "I'm just gonna close my eyes for a few seconds," and then it's two hours, and the music is playing, and you're like, "Oh no, I missed the whole show." Oh no, that's a great question. Well, if you subscribe to Twitch, then you can just watch all of our VODs as soon as the live broadcast ends. So cool, right? So cool. I know. Another really cool thing is you can give subscriptions to people. Like I could buy a subscription for you, duplicate Kaelen, and for other p-- What are you doing? Look what I found. Oh my gosh, hey precious. I could draw a dick. Oh, well, technically, technically that might break Twitch's terms of service, so. But, there's no rule against, like, drawing chubby little snakes. (giggles) Yeah, or, or a really long balloon sword. Yeah, or like a really thick rope, with like, two hunky knots at the end of it. Cucumber, with two tomatoes, Yeah, a banana, you know, sitting next to an onion and an avocado. Like a mushroom, with like a little cap on it. A wiener dog, with just two feet. Yeah. Arty, where are you? Should we go look for him? Yeah, sure, why not. Oh, don't forget to subscribe to Critical Role. Okay, let's go. Okay. (whimsical music) And welcome back. Went ahead and clarified a quick discrepancy with your hit points. Yes, I was stupid and I'd done my math wrong, and I was informed by our crew that I'm not 39 hit points. I'm, in fact, 44 hit points. (cheering) I'm way cooler than I thought I was. Tank coming through. Five points cooler. Yeah. Got a tank over here. You're not stupid. Don't say that about my friend. Thanks, Aria. Front line fighter, let's do it. Yeah, that's right. I can take on the world now, bitches. Indeed. Well, a very eventful first full day back. You're getting a sense as to why a lot of skyships avoid the central areas of the Hellcatch Valley when it comes to-- What do you mean? I don't know, just a hunch I get. But for the second day's journey, and please interrupt if any of these days if people want to handle anything specifically, but for the second day's journey, if somebody else could roll another d20 for me. Who will do it? I will do it. (cackles) Oh, I can't see. Oh no, well, that's cocked. Cocked. It's cocked, roll again. What was it? It was cocked. Five. That's what we got last time. Oh, that's what I got last time. Roll a d6! Roll a d6 for

Game Master: He is up here. Like, just emerging from the upper portions of the chamber and swimming-- Kaelen: How far can we get? Game Master: Right now, to where we start, is about this inch of space here. Just tell me where in that space you want to be. Kaelen: I'll try and, uh... Gosh. Can I even try and get up here, or? Arthur: You have Freedom of Movement from her. Borlan: Yeah. Game Master: You do, but for the purposes of this, this is just arriving, and this is happening here, so... Elias: I'll hook right with Derek, if you're up for it. Sylvia: Yeah, yeah. To get behind that column, yeah. Elias: That thing. Game Master: Okay, that's as far as you guys can get from stepping into the chamber. Kaelen: Oh, you guys are behind? Okay, then actually, put me opposite. Put me on this wall over here, Game Master, yeah. Game Master: That's about as far as you can get from the entrance there. Kaelen: That's great. Game Master: Best to scatter. Elara? Arthur: I guess I'm just-- Yeah, or right to the left so I have a partial cover from the column. Game Master: Over here? Arthur: Yeah. Game Master: Okay. Arthur: Yeah, I got a plan. Game Master: Vilya's going to come right here. Cedric? Derek: Where is Vokodo, ish? Borlan: Above us. Game Master: Up here. Derek: Oh, cool, yeah. Rowan: Yeah, let me go to the other side of Nadia. Elias: How could we have fucked this up this badly? Sylvia: So much planning-- Game Master: Over here? Rowan: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Sylvia: -- and debating and discussion. Borlan: And then we just ran in. Sylvia: We just walked in and done the same thing. Kaelen: Well... Game Master: Now, remember. Kaelen: It was a good plan. Game Master: You are swimming, so you can go-- Borlan: Up and down. Game Master: Up and down. There's upward, vertical travel in this. Derek: How tall is the cavern? Game Master: The cavern up here is roughly 80 feet. Derek: 80 feet. Elias: And is it all water to the top, no? Game Master: You haven't swam all the way up there, but from what you can currently see it seems like it might be. Elias: Oh shit. Rowan: My god. thank you

A single roll for each of these. I have no brain right now. Pop pop. Still with the d4s, come on. Okay, d4 for the seven. Uh-huh! 21 again, and for this one, I don't think it makes it. 19? 19 misses. The third one does hit. But, okay. 10 damage and-- Clara, you you take... 12 points of poison damage. Oof, rolling a d12. And Extract Aspects. Indeed. As you pummel it, your one hand going into a blade-type strike, slips in its body and your ki connects with its body's life force and that moment you realize as part of its physical interior, it is immune to poison, but it also cannot be frightened, cannot be petrified and cannot be stunned. It is a wall of angry mutated beast. You didn't say charmed, though, right? No. It can be charmed. Okay, I just yell out: Can't stun this one, which really fucking blows.

They can happen during any stage of sleep, mostly- - Yeah. It just seems like her dreams, when she has a fever, is just the wildest ones. - It's so strange, I don't remember my dreams. I very rarely remember them. Maybe once every month. I don't remember. - Really? - Yeah. - I probably can only remember two nightmares I had. - But if I have a dream, I remember the fact that I had a dream. But most nights, I wake up and there was just a void in my head. watching - There was nothing. There was nothing. - Really? - I dreamed nothing. - Can you feel the sense of time passing when you're aware that you're dreaming? - Yeah. Have you ever had a lucid dream. - No. I really want to though. - Those are the funnest ones. - I've only had it, - I've had it once. - I've only had it a few times. - I think I've had situations where what I wanted to happen in the dream during it did happen, but I feel like it's a battle. I don't know. This is so hard, to remember this stuff. This is what scientists have been trying to figure out for hundreds of years. I don't know. - Have you ever had a dream that's been so vivid that it's just stuck with you for years, and you can still recite it? Because I don't remember most of my dreams. - You have? - I have one nightmare I had when I was little that I think is the reason why I'm afraid of heights now. You know how they say you can't die in your dream because you've never experienced it before. - I think that that's BS. - Well, actually, I thought it was BS, too, until I had this nightmare. - I'm pretty sure I die in a lot of my dreams. - You all right? - I don't know. I don't know. Food poisoning. uh - Call it a food poisoning dream. - I've definitely died in my dreams, but I've just woken up immediately as I've died. - Really? Do you always wake up? Is that guaranteed? I feel like I reset sometimes. - I don't fucking know. - Is it one of those, "If you die in the dream, you die for real?" - You respawn in your dreams? - I'm pretty sure I've respawned in my dream. I'm near certain I've respawned in my dream. - The only nightmare I've had that I can still vividly remember, it was a really short dream but

Input: stairs might be on the right. All right, you appear and fall about-- we'll say only ten feet. Go ahead and make an acrobatics check for me. 17. Yeah. You manage to take no damage as you just catch yourself on the stairs. You slip a little bit and stumble down two of them, but get yourself back to your feet. On my ass. You didn't see that. You're okay. I'll get up and use the rest of my movement to walk down to where Tim is if I can. We are also in the dark again, by the way, because the Driftglobe has been absorbed into my eagle form. That's true. Shit. So Tim-- yeah, everyone-- Nadia is now up in darkness in the mist. Two eagles just ran by. Or one eagle ran by. Another shadow went by right as the light-- I don't know if I would have taken my full 60 if I would have been in darkness, I will say. Okay. If you want, you can move me 30 back and I have a light source now. Okay, there we go. We'll put you there. Split the difference. That's fine. Now that I'm down there, can I see the door behind Tim? You can, yeah. Can I go: door? I'll just send two Eldritch Blasts at it. All right, go ahead and roll attack for each. Disadvantage or regular? Down here, it's a door. I mean, I'll say disadvantage, but we'll see how well you do. 14. 14 hits. Bastard. 25. 25, okay, both hit. Go ahead and roll damage. 13 points force damage for the first one and seven for the second, so 20 total. Okay the door, two tiny little bits of chip appear. It's going to take a lot of Eldritch Blasts to try and blast through that. There's a door. That's it. All right, ending Sarah's turn, Clara, you're up. I'm going to look up and I don't want to leave anybody behind. I'm afraid. Oh, but I can't talk. I'm going to lift up-- Oh, but I do, and I'm-- And I'm sorry. I'm going to lift up-- You get partway. You get about 20, 25 feet up and then left and right, you can see both Gideon and Nadia. Gideon first and then Nadia up the spiral. Can I? An eagle comes forward to grab you. Gideon, what do you do? I know it's her. I'll let her grab me, I guess. I don't know who this is, but I'm going to let it happen. It's cool. All right. Both Gideon and Nadia are currently-- I don't know what this is, but I'm going to let it happen. It's a good philosophy. Why not? Then I'm going to use the rest of my movement to fly down with them. Okay. To the bottom. I'm Mary Poppins, y'all. Yeah. I'm Mary Poppins, y'all. It's a very, very tight space, but you manage to loosely land and set them down before you have to tuck in. All right, that finishes your go, Clara. Dorian, Tim. I cough up a little blood. Your hands all-- you know, the glove is fine. You actually have a glove that insulates the glove

Input: was happening. You have a good memory. I know. Uh, where is that? Nogvurot is along the border. I know there's a garrison out there. Northward. You have a map. Is it near Xhorhas? I brought it back in, didn't I? Oh, it doesn't count as using your memory if you're reading it, Dorian. Come on! That's not fair. I didn't read it! I'm pulling my map out now. Nogvurot is actually northward, a little bit east of Rexxentrum. Right there. Oh, that's not at all where I thought it was. I thought it was over by the Ashguard Garrison, but it's not. Yeah, weird. Maybe it's not connected, then. Unless there are a lot of them, the bad guys, in Nogvurot, which we could check out. I heard a rumor last night that more are getting through. I don't know. I wonder how. I wonder if there's an underground passage that people aren't seeing or something. Or maybe they can go invisible. Or maybe they have an airship! Or maybe they can turn into mist, and fly through the air where people can't see them. I've heard of people doing that. All possibilities, yeah. Knocking. Y'all up? No! Gwen! Come in! We're going out. I'm naked! I'm not naked. Gwen! There's a celebration going outside! I can hear them. I think we're going to head downstairs if y'all want to join. Yes! I run outside. All right, so you guys start heading downstairs. Who all is gathering down there with them? Everybody! All right, everybody. Kaelen, you napped in the side alleyway in the open air, sleeping with one eye open, being careful. As you wake up in the cold morning mist, the mist has caused this dampness around your chin and hair. Around my glorious beard? Your glorious beard, right there. Frost beard. I don't have a beard. No. It gets really cold in the early morning and bits of frost have gathered at the edges of your hair, so you brush off it a bit. As you gather yourself and look out past the street, the music's already starting to swell very strongly from a distance, and a few musicians come by playing on their own. Some folks are starting to rouse and begin cooking things. The smell of meats and fresh morning meals are beginning to find your nostrils, and you decide you probably should check in. Yeah, I'll go check in. You come in, the rest of you all gather in the bottom tavern area of the Leaky Tap. What would you like to do? Does anyone know how this festival works? What are we celebrating again? The close of the harvest. It's just for funsies and we go around and sample wares and things? Arthur, have you never been to a festival? I've been to a festival. It's general revelry. You know: drink, eat, dance. Not a big one. You know, small ones. About what? You know, end of the season and beginning of the season. You know, that sort of stuff. People's weddings, that sort of thing. There's a new female who's running the bar. She is now also coming to consciousness. She's coming around to preparing the bar. Passed out, face down. Looks to be in her early 50s or so, long black hair that goes just.

Input: into the gaps in Nadia's mind. Guidance on Gwen. Worth noting it was a different hammer, but it was a hammer. It was a hammer. It was a different hammer. Yeah. I will re-guide myself. Fuckin' hell. 19. 10. Okay. You push further. Gwen, you-- You both see this amorphous shape of a memory that's drifting ahead of you. As you both step forward, Elias, you continue to push. Gwen, you almost hit glass. As you pull back and look at it, you glance and the glass almost resembles the weird speckled, somewhat cloudy crystal that fills the open wound in the side of his head. Cool. Elias, as you push beyond that, in the moment not noticing the separation between you and Gwen, you hear the voices of other people screaming, "Go, go, go! Run! "He's dead, leave him!" You see bits of the road. You see alleys and hear the dragging against dirt. You hear the echo of Milo's voice familiar, saying, "Come on, come on, come on, come on!" The fog and cloud takes over, and you pull back, and there is light, bright light, hurting your eyes. You try and focus and it's an overhead directed hooded lantern of some kind. This is familiar. This is the top of Milo's table. Mm-hmm. You're looking up, bleary eyed, blood spattered, and unable to move. Milo comes in out of focus, looking overhead, large glasses over, they're looking about nervously. Rubbing and cleaning their hands, firing up, and you've seen it around the house, a small forge that they keep. You lose vision. You come back in, and with the heartbeat, you feel a heartbeat. It's weird, you've never felt a heartbeat before, but in your chest, you feel (heart thumping). The warmth is going cold and the heartbeat is slowing. You hear Milo's voice saying, "No, no, no, no, no! "I don't--" Takes and begins pouring this bright warm material, this almost syrupy, heated glass past the head. It hisses and steams upon impact. There's a moment. While it's still searing hot on the side of the head, the pain is almost too numb to be pain. It's just sensation. As the steam fills, your eyes begin to go to blackness again, and you hear Milo going, "No, no, no. I--" Reaches and pulls something from the limp grasp of Nadia's hand, as it drops out of frame, your hand, and that same vial, that same gray vial. Pulls the top off and just pours it into the wound as well. The steam in the glass begins to turn from a bright white steam to a dark, gray, weird tar-like amalgam that seems to turn to a floating gravity-less liquid before the steam evaporates. Milo looks entranced to the right of your vision as the fading darkness begins to reverse. Gwen, you now stand before this glass watching beyond. As you look at this weird glass-like structure that divides the two of you, you watch as the clear crystal-like speckled appearance begins to fill with this dull gray coloration, obscuring Elias on the opposite side. But there, you glance into it and you see stars. Like-- How far do they go? Does it look like I'm looking out into space suddenly? It looks like you're staring into the night sky and as you peer and focus, you push through the glass and feel like you're just lost in an expansive infinity. You see nebulas and

Input: see. He points over to the grizzled-looking beastly man who's currently chugging down the final bits of a tankard of ale. Spins around, wipes it off his beard and stands up. Yeah, I'm coming. He gets up onto the edge of the stage and goes, Well, this is Kendall. thank you. (laughter) He's a strong fellow. Good luck. He sits down. I'm going to fail this miserably. Uh, sits down at his stool, puts his meaty arm out with the fingers and goes-- Good to meet you, Kendall. Sure. Ugh, it's sweaty. It is sweaty. Calm your mind. Just steel your mind. Oh, god. Leopold goes, One, two, three! Go ahead and make a strength check. Oh, god, just-- Those knuckle hairs are like fly legs. Just a check? Yep. Just a d20, add your strength modifier. Oh. Five. Five. At that center point, you immediately begin to give to his grasp. You see this slight grin begin to curl underneath his wiry beard as his arm begins to push you close to the edge of the table. Make another strength check. Dig in! A critter gave me this. They said it was lucky. It's not that lucky. 12. 12. With that (slams) onto the table. You lose. Ow! Knuckles a little bruised from the slam. He gets up and is like, Ha! That was worth following around for. Yeah. Ah. Thought you were going to beat him. I'm very slippery, I'm not-- I want to do that Victory Pit thing, though. Well done though, Clara. Well done. Here. He hands you a small piece of parchment that's rolled up and goes, This is information about, if you'd be so interested, in coming and joining the Righteous Brand. Audition for our acapella group. Kingsman. You can find us at the Marrow Keeps of the Righteous Brand on the outskirts of the northern end of Zadash, should you be so interested. Marrow Keeps? Yes. We've heard of that before. Mm-hmm. This is in the area of the Signet Wall which is the military district of the city. Okay. Anyone else? Another gentleman raises his hand and gets up on stage and they begin to do a showdown. The two of them begin to go back and forth. However, that same beastly figure, Kendall, still manages to, defeat the guy and send him to the table, get up again and Ha! Then at some point, shortly thereafter, Leopold goes, Ah, he returns! He returns! (chuckling) Gunther Prast, our finest soldier here in the city, would like to challenge the current standing contender. You watch now as this massive behemoth of a man, like the Mountain from Game of Thrones, about seven foot, 350 pounds guy wearing the Righteous Brand silver and red armor, gets up onto the stage (heavy steps). Clean-shaven, except for this perpetual five o'clock shadow that doesn't seem to leave his square jaw, his hair is trimmed super short and you see the receding hairline curling back into a widow's peak. Sits on the table, puts his arm out there and you can see the huntsman, Kendall, for the first time, lose his cool. You watch as the two of them grasp together and they're going to begin to roll off. Yes. What's going on? Clara lost. Clara lost at arm wrestling? You watch as the hands

Input: head back northward direction. Can it still fly with two of its sails missing? It can. Oy. At the time being, it seems. Xandis, at this point, goes, All right, just taking stock. Everyone's okay? Everyone sort of made it back mostly in one or two pieces, right? You good? Relatively. Uh, oh boy. Do you have backup sails, or-- We got materials to do some repairs on the way. Might cost us an extra day of movement, but we're going to do what we can. So just, uh, I guess, anyone here good with wood? Oh! Oh! Oh my god! I almost died. What'd you ask? Yes, I'm good with wood. Yeah, I'm fine, I'm good. What do you need? Oh, shit, the damage. All right. I go over. I press my face against it. The damage. Oh, there's a damage. Talk to me. Tell me your woes. Damn! Do you have any extra timber below decks? We do have some basic repairs and maybe a few things we could do to fashion a half sail for both those sides. Khalil, take our friend here and see what we can do along the ways of transit. In the meantime, at least it looks like the horizon's clear, so drink up! They take a big chug of a rounded, bulb-like liquid on the side of their hip. Watching. Grabs the side of the wheel and begins to continue on a northward direction. Oh shit. I'm going to run down to check on Treshi really quickly. Oh god, did he jump off the boat? I'm going to run down. Gordi, who has the key to this? Who knows how to open this door? The moldy storage? The moldy storage. You look down, It's pretty easy to see from the outside how it works. It's this latch that locks into place over the brace that's in front of the door. I'm going to open it up, take a look. He is on the ground, not moving. Not moving? I'm going to very quickly check vitals. He's alive. Sighs in relief. He just got knocked the fuck unconscious. Oh, he's just unconscious? Yeah. Okay, okay. Eh, he's fine. All right. All right. You hear from deep inside the cargo hold: This is the best you have to work with? I thought you took yourself seriously. It's okay. I'll cast Calm Emotions. I've worked with worse. It's going to be fine. Beggars can't be choosers in these circumstances. You're very attractive. Sorry, let's get to work. As you jump into chiseling away at what materials are available to try and do some makeshift repairs to the ship, the rest of you taking a breath to push onward for the rest of your journey back to Jrusar, we're going to take a break. Eyy! Nobody else died! Oofies. I thought this chair was very unlucky for a second. Oh man, oh man. Oof. I'm low. That's more damage than I'm ready to take right now. You're low? Oh, yeah. I'm low, too. That was a-- Everyone got their-- Yeah. Oh wow. That was a rough failure in the middle of the sandstorm. It almost knocked me right out when we fell off the ship. Oh

Input: it swings open on a hinge, "Angel of Music" style. Lark's arm reaches out of the dark doorway behind it and pulls Phineas through. Leaving the eternal light of the Un behind, the disguised duo descends a claustrophobic, cave-like staircase into windowless darkness, tunneling down, down, down into the mica of the city's bedrock. The natural crystal of the walls has been polished and thickly coated in an opaque black paint to block out its luminance and to seal in its sharp, hazardous mica texture. Except for small, bare, gently luminous patches here and there, giving just enough light to see by. Darkness doesn't just happen in the highest light - it has to be meticulously manufactured, engineered. (epic music) (mischievous music) (typewriter clacking) (peaceful music) We now go live to a special address from the President. Hey, dweebs. Now as your president, I've been kind of killing it lately. I gave global warming an atomic wedgie. I balanced the budget by selling my Pog collection, and I saved the Queen of England from that octopus! But my kick-assery is far from done. According to this chart that I made, an estimated 35% of you are still a bunch of nasty goobers, but don't worry, I have a plan. Operation: Gag Me With A Spoon. It's easy sleazy. According to this study that I wrote, if every citizen subscribed to Critical Role on Twitch, we could reduce maximum goobage by a metric buttload. Twitch is the only place where you'll get a live and moderated chat. And! If you subscribe to Critical Role, you instantly get access to all their shows as soon as the live broadcast ends. So while you're oogling those Critical Role dorks with their sick goof-'em-ups and their nutty voices, think of me, Gale, the current president of whatever. Now, I got to go make a fresh batch of spitballs, but I guess I have some time for your boring questions. You. Gale, is it true that if you subscribe to Critical Role through Prime Gaming, you have to resubscribe every month? Uh, yeah. I do it right after my monthly prank call to Pee-on Silas. Next question. Does Critical Role have exclusive emotes for their subscribers? Uh, doy. Of course they do. I like the "Hello, bees!" one because bees are cool. I replaced my whole security detail with a bunch of bees that think I'm their queen. Last question! Yeah, with all due respect, is Operation: Gag Me With a Spoon a real policy, or are you mad goofin'? Am I mad goofin'? What, do you see me scarfing Milk Duds while doodling ding-dongs in the SkyMall catalog? Listen, I know I'm new to this. And I admit that when I made the wish to be the boss of everything, I did not know the witch that works at Woolworth's was listening. Well, Faustian bargain or not, I am the president now, and I have an obligation to lead this country. So to answer your question: No, I am not mad goofin'. Security, take him out! Security, take him out! Later, chudruckers! Vibes. We're here, we're back in a different time slot. This is nice. So, my lovely Crown Keepers. Kymal. After the events of our interlude those long, long weeks ago, you all moved north past the Silvercut Crossroads to lay low in the Wildwood Valley. The settlements you dared

Input: powerful and stuff, inside. Like how much more powerful? Like five percent. Punch me. I want to tell. Okay. I'll punch her. All right, roll an attack. Oh jeez, I dropped it. That doesn't count. I don't punch her very hard. I'm going to pull my punch, because I only rolled a five. That sounded like "pooing my pants." Uh, if you're not dodging. I'm like, come on. Yeah, then you hit her. Oh, I hit her? Yes! Okay, so now I roll for damage? Well it's one plus your strength modifier. Four damage! Uh, you take four points of damage from a sheer punch to your shoulder! Holy shit, Dorian! What the fuck? Rawr! Ow! Okay, that's awesome. Do you have dead arm? Yes! Wait, if I punch you in your ass you'll get dead leg. Have you ever tried it? Yeah, I punch her in her butt and try to give her dead leg. Okay, I think she is dodging this one so roll for this one. Oh man, come on! What do I add to it? I'll say you're proficient in unarmed because you're just punching, sure. You add your strength modifier and your proficiency modifier. This is shit. Oh plus the proficiency. No, it's still not enough. It's like nine. Nein! She does manage to step out of the way, now being more defensive from giving her a dead leg. I move and do a little hip bump. Get out of the way. I wasn't trying to hit you anyway. I didn't want to hit you. Just a little hip action, I've been working on it. Anyway, I have this thing, and I could've used it then to really hit you but I'm not going to. I'm going to save it for something really powerful. Are you in the room, Kaelen? I feel like I slept outside? I was going to interact. I think I slept outside. I forgot. I think we're all up and moving at this point. As you ask this question, Kaelen is not in the room. Hey, Dorian. That was you who said something when you were talking to the Xhorhasian assassin about babies not being born, or something like that? Did I say something like that? I think you were like, "Oh no, the babies!" Something about babies. He had said that this thing would help them with having babies, yeah. I would assume if we have it then he won't be able to have babies. You know how that town crier was talking about kids being stolen? You think they're connected? Probably. That's really smart, Clara. Thanks. I wanted to run it by you. Where was it happening? It was along the border, huh? In Nogvurot? Yeah, that's where it was happening. You have a good memory. I know. Where is that? Nogvurot is along the border. I know there's a garrison out there. Northward. You have a map. Is it near Xhorhas? I brought it back in, didn't I? Oh, it doesn't count as using your memory if you're reading it, Dorian. Come on! That's not fair. I didn't read it! I'm pulling my map out now. Nogvurot is actually northward, a little bit east of Rexxentrum. Right there. Oh, that's not at

Output:
*   Fiona attempted to punch Gwen, initially rolling a five and pulling her punch, but later successfully hitting her for four points of damage after a second roll.
*   Gwen reacted to the physical attack with shock and humor, joking about "dead arm" and "dead leg" while Fiona clarified her intent to avoid hitting her.
*   The group discussed a previous statement made by Dorian regarding babies and connected it to rumors of children being stolen in the town of Nogvurot.
*   Marcus and Fiona consulted a map to locate Nogvurot, confirming it was situated northward and east of Rexxentrum.
*   The party realized that Kaelen was not present in the room at that moment, having slept outside, while Elara noted that everyone else was moving.
*   Gwen thanked Clara for her insight regarding the connection between the town crier's rumors and the current situation.


Input: below there's hoards of people. Down below. Yeah, there are all manner of the streets that are shifting. uh like directly under us, walking by. Where you are is almost halfway along. So there are still stragglers moving, but the bulk of it is probably, as you're looking down to the city, to the right-- If we dropped, we'd be dropping into people. Ain't no compass, brother. uh watching. Ain't no maps. There are open streets and areas that aren't as clustered, but it would have to be a very careful descent to not be noticed. But it's not impossible. Let's see if we can find something a little more out of the way. Maybe a gate. Yeah, I'll use my 6th-level spell to create Arcane Gate. Oh! I think it's 500 feet, so a section that's either tucked away in a corner or in a shadow or something. Damn! You'll see next to us a big arcane gate appear, which is invisible from the other side. All of us can walk through it and-- Yeah, within 500 feet of you, you can totally do that. Just get that much closer also to the-- Yeah, so I can actually put it as far as I can see in a corner that will be invisible from the other side. (Arthur) ♪ He's so dreamy ♪ ♪ He's my ♪ soon-to-be husband ♪ This gateway opens up and you can see the shimmering energy that marks the exterior of it. Immediately, on the opposite side of it, you can see, as you were stepping through, the remainder of the hallway way down below where you watched Dorian point. You all can shuffle out rapidly, and as you do, into the alley there, you are now on the base floor of-- Wow! -- the center of Kreviris. Cool! The winding network of walkways, pathways, and spiraling rock constructions rising up above, and the faint glow of the pillar, immaculate and massive. The sheer scale of it, now that you're further in the city and looking up at it, is dizzying. Huh! Are we at the fork or close to the fork? No, we got to walk to the fork. It's a bit of-- Let's go? Yeah. All right. If I can have you do a group deception check. Ooh! I'll dispel the gate-- We're still in disguise, right? -- once we're out. Yeah. Still disguised, so you do all have advantage on it. We do? You do. So we all roll four times. You all roll twice. With advantage for each person. But each character rolls twice. I'm having you each roll and then choose the best of the two because you have that many characters. So this is to keep it easy. Oh boy! Oh! Oh god! Come on! What are we adding to? A deception? Lordt! I feel like I don't want that choice. (groans) You roll for the better of the two characters. Nope. That's awful. Doesn't matter. That's awful! Holy fuck! What'd you get? I got-- With advantage? Yeah. That's a five. I rolled a one and a two. (Julian) Julian got a 26. Braius is amazing. You-- All right.

Input: this final stretch of intense storm. Go to the right. Coming through like a hammer of weather. Backseat driving. Yes, backseat driving. That always helps. All right. Left. Always nice. So roll a d20 for me and add a d4 to whatever you roll. Okay. I'm sorry. Here it is, here it is, here it is. I found it. Ugh, 11. 11. That's the second failure. Uh-oh. Oh. Oh no. I knew it. I knew it, I knew it. This is why I didn't want to do it. I just had a feeling! You guys made made me! Why'd you fuck us, Aria? Goddamn this game. I knew it! Okay. I rolled a three and a four with advantage. You're fine. It's just-- With this-- Hey! -- wave after wave after wave of heavy wind shakes the sky ship. Xandis goes, "I'm trying to hold on to this! "It's getting really strange! "A little intense! "Appreciate your help, I think we got it. "I'm pretty sure we got it!" Oh no. Oh god. "I think we got it!" Oh no. I love Xandis. One heavy, dark, extremely powerful gust slams the right back side of the sky ship. One of the sails-- Oh god. -- just rips off. Oh fuck. And is lost in the storm. "I don't got it!" Immediately, the sky ship is (spinning). Does that mean the two right sails are gone, and the two lefts are still there? We're in a flat spin out at sea? Well, there's-- At least we're low to the ground. The broken sail, that half-broken one is now gone. Uh-huh. This is two and one. We got to get off this thing. Can I try to cast Plant Growth and grab one of the ends of the sail so it doesn't go away? You can certainly try. Sprooch. Sprooch. So roll a d20 and add your wisdom modifier for me, please. Okay. So many d20s. Why do you have to hide? Well, why do have it turned that way? Well. Okay. It's bashful. You can also roll on your mat in front of you-- I know. -- and that way, you can see. It's only real if it's in here. You want to use this ridiculous block? Yeah. But what did you say, I'm adding? I'm really sorry. Add your wisdom modifier. Okay, so 18. Ooh, pretty good. Okay, 18. So, Plant Growth at this point in your moment of extreme panic, affects the plants in an area. You mean it doesn't shoot out of my hands? What you do see is the sail. It's a failed skill challenge. Everyone's already lost, but I appreciate, for the flavor of this, as it begins to tear and break away-- I'm going to help! -- you release your hand and focus, and you watch as this polished, large section of wood that's been utilized to maintain a mast of this side sail suddenly blossoms with greenery and flowers. It becomes this gorgeous, spiraling garden upward before it (cracks) vanishes into the storm. No! The ship-- I just thought-- That was the wrong thing. I need everybody to make
