Input: poison pulses through your veins, and you go wide as the creature manages to be out of range. How much damage is that? Aria: 15 points of fire damage. Both rays slam into it and the flames burst up, and you hear (pained gurgling), trying to pull back from the impact, but it's currently by the wall, and it's holding onto your friends and holding its ground. Aria: I'll take a step five feet that way and as I do so I look over at Gwen and just-- and that's the end of my turn. Derek: Big nope. That ends Derek's go. Dorian. Oh, that's me! Yes. You are currently grappled, and while you are grappled you are restrained until you break free. Thank you. I think it's my turn. Oh, sorry, Arthur's after Derek, my bad. I'm going to stick my hand around and fire my little crossy-bowy. Not good! Not good at all. Ten! Ten goes wide. As it's reeling back from the blow of the flame jets from your buddy Derek, unfortunately as you fire it moves just out of the way, and the bolt goes wide. I will reload and fire again. Oh god! Should we count that? Yeah, I think so. What do you add to it? I don't know. DM, do I count that or not? It's 18. It landed in my box, but it landed up. If it landed, then it's fine. Okay, 18 to hit. 18 does hit, so go ahead and roll damage and sneak attack. I get sneak attack? It's still adjacent to a friend of yours. Great. 15. Nice, all right. It strikes on the inside of the mouth. I'll take Fury of the Small, why not. 19. 19 points of damage total, got it. (bolt impact, groaning) It looks like it's hurting, but it's also in control of the battlefield on that side there. That ends your turn. Dorian. Back behind a wall. Oh god. Does it look like it's hurting at all? It looks like it's hurt. While I'm in its grasp, can I touch the tentacle and cast Toll the Dead again? If you'd like to. If you think that would help. I want to do that. The saving throw-- that's cocked. No, that is a five plus one. Okay. Two. Hey, it all helps. It all goes to the same place. You are still restrained and held in place there. Anything else you want to do? I probably should have tried to un-restrain myself. You're a great player. No, it's an action to break free. It's an action. Well, I already did it. I already Tolled the Dead, so too late. End of your turn? I guess so. Kaelen, you're up. I'm going to attack again. There's no short rest between here and-- There could be. No, there could be more groups, man. He said about 20 minutes between rounds, and a short rest is an hour. Do I have advantage on attack, or no? If you go reckless, you can. Yes, that's right, I haven't used reckless yet. Shit. You have not used reckless. That gives you advantage on your attacks. That gives me advantage, but that gives them advantage on attacks. Correct. For now it's a straight roll, there's no disadvantage on that.

That's a good question. Well, just in time for that. (groaning) Hold on, features and traits-- I don't think evasion is a reaction. I think it's your-- It's just an ability. Yeah, it's your Uncanny Dodge that's a reaction. Yeah, so I will use my-- I will use my Uncanny Dodge on this attack. Go for it, so you reduce that by half. Okay. All righty. I need everybody to make a dexterity saving throw. Sarah, you make it at disadvantage. Okay. Sylvia: Because you point blank. Yeah. Ooh, ooh! Hold on a second. Okay. Natural one. Natural one. 14 points of lightning damage. 12. Take seven points of lightning damage. No, because you have evasion. Oh. Derek: 21. You take seven points of lightning damage. Marcus: 16. You take seven points of lightning damage. Borlan: 20. Seven points of lightning damage. Lyra: Ten. You take 14 points of lightning damage. Elias: 15. Seven points of lightning damage. Oh, gosh. (humming dissipating) Oh, boy. (humming recharging) It's charging up even stronger. This is going to be hard. All right, that brings us to-- oh, and this is, again, it's going to go ahead and vanish into the mist. Both you and Gideon get attacks of opportunity if you want to. Fuck, fuck, fuck! With disadvantage because this guy's invisible, technically. I got a 25 with disadvantage. That hits. I got 13. 13 misses. You swing and it's not there. You're just hitting mist with your weapon. 11 points of damage. 11 points of damage. Nice, good to know. All right, that finishes its go. Sylvia, you're up. I'm booking it, double. All righty. You are just behind. You'd be right between Nadia there. Slowly just be in the middle of the mist. All righty, that finishes your turn, Sylvia. Gideon, Nadia, you guys are up. I'm going to do what I did last time. 35 feet, 35 feet, bonus. Holding it. 30, 35. You're pushed in that space there. I'll allow it. It's fine, because you're still rushing. 15, 20, 25, you'd be down here. 30, 35, you're right at the cusp of this. You move past. Oh god. I will do the same thing. Hold my action with the crossbow bolt until I see the whites of their mist. You would be here. You just got to the stairs here. Oh, that's not a very far move. Well, you moved twice to move around to get to that side and then hold that, so. I've moved-- No, no. You've moved more then. You're right, my apologies. You would be here, just about there. You're holding your action. Yes. All right, you're done with that. Nadia? 60 feet. That's all I got. Somebody's got to break that crystal and turn that thing off. I don't know. You should be past Dorian. That's right, because it's all about corners. You would be about there. Technically, technically, Gideon. What's up? Technically, because you would have had to go once and around, and you've been not doing a

Input: down another hallway, another left turn. I'm going to memorize this. Okay. So you're trying to keep this all in mind as you go. You can see you're passing by other arched doors, simple. You see another person step out and move past. These look to be subterranean barracks, living quarters for various Paragon's Cal individuals. I'm also looking around for Armand. Right! Roll a perception check. Okay. Do Quokka have good vision? How far away were we from the other party? Nope. Oh, goddamn it! Okay. Am I adding my perception? Yes. Okay. 14. Oh. Oh, okay. 14, not too bad. Okay. I'm keeping that in mind. So the rest of the troop, you guys were probably staying back how far? Well, a block? Yeah. Are you talking about the group that's Team Gideon or the other team? The other team. Yeah. We were just-- So they're around the back, right? Yeah. So we're on the other side. We're in the front. Okay. So you're-- Across the street? -- a couple hundred feet or so from the other troop. Anything we want to try while we're just sitting here with our-- I'm going to go to about 50 feet and be like-- Oh god! To who? What do you--? As I see him, be like-- To us? Oh! Who's that person? That's Dusk! Do we need to get your opticals checked? Maybe. They were fixed recently. I Message Dusk from afar. Oh. Oh Dusk! Dusk. You can do the thing, too. Hi. Hello. What's going on? Well, Gideon turned into a really cute quokka and ran across the street and then burrowed underneath, and then, now she's caught and she's getting a tour of the place and stuff. So I feel we should probably meet up and everything and reconvene with all of the information that we have right now. Honestly, this is par for the course. Sounds like it's going great. Let me check in with the others. Hold please. Others. So Chet, Silas, I guess Gideon is super adorable and has been taken as one of the Paragon's guard's pets and is inside. I guess the question is do we act and send someone into rescue her or just see how this plays out? Maybe just see how this plays out or do you want to-- Do we know how long she could stay as a Furry Bottom? I could try to cast a spell on someone and have them go in and retrieve her. How long have we seen Gideon last as a Fuzz Bottom? At most, about an hour. Is 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?

I know. Last time I was in Whitestone, when we were helping that dead girl with the Delilah situation, he was kind of shitty to me. To you? Yeah. Oh, I think you were handling other stuff. We didn't see you until later, but he got just a little bossy. See? That's the bitchy wiggle. DM and Dorian: (laugh) Well, we'll talk to him. All right. So? Wait, do we even know where Kaelen last-known whereabout? No. No, we got nothing. Nothing. Ooh! I mean, I could try right now, try Sending. Druids have Sending, right? Do you have Sending? Do druids have Sending? I don't think so. You're the fucking Tempest. Don't ask me. Do you have Sending? At level fucking 20, do you have any way to contact people? It's interesting. I don't think druids get Sending. They don't, but they get Scry. They get Scry. Yeah. Clerics get Sending. Clerics do. Mm-hmm. Which you knew that. Yeah. I'm just going to-- I knew that's what I was going to do right now. Do you know what barbarians get? I don't have it prepared. Huh? Do you know what barbarians get?

I rolled a 13, but I don't know if I count because I'm a fucking piece of wind. Fart. No, it's good to know because we might come back around to it. Okay. In the amount of time it took for Elias to try to cast Fast Friends and it failed, was that 10 seconds passing? That's six seconds at least. Yeah, we'll say it's six seconds. So you got we'll say roughly two more rounds. Before I can try to re-turn myself into-- Before you're a cloud. Correct. Yeah, so I'm just out-- So 12 more rounds. This entire fight pretty much. Cool. This entire fight, yes. Yeah, because it takes the same amount of time to de-cloud? Yeah, it takes a minute. Yes. (laughs) Shit. Now mind you-- My friends will-- To remind you, combat has initiated, meaning that there is an aggressive stance taken because a spell was cast on a particular figure. Yes.

Input:
to-- A little blind jumpity jump or you can try to blind Misty Step.
You know what? I just might hurt you to do it.
I only have a plus two acrobatics, so that's why I'm like-- My athleics is really good.
Yeah, this is more of a stick the landing so you don't give yourself a stinger in your big old bunny ankles.
Wait, do I have, because of my Vow of Enmity, or because of Haste do I have-- No, that's just on attack.
You get to add a d4 to it, though.
Add a d4.
Oh! Okay, okay. That's it, that's it.
I'll roll at disadvantage.
Oh no, that's--
Just to see how it goes.
I think it is.
Yeah. It's not a skill check.
No, it's not! It's attack rolls and saves.
Saving rolls, you're right. So now you don't do anything.
Thank you.
-- 10, 11, 12 plus-- Oh wait is it d4?
d4. Yep, you're right.
That's a d4.
Don't add a d4, I was wrong.
No, you don't add a d4 to this.
Oh. I was wrong. That was me. I was wrong.
Yeah, it's all good.
That's a 12.
I never remember how Bless works.
Yeah.
Then, that's a eight. Yeah. 12 and an eight.
So total an eight?
So an eight, yeah.
Okay. You go to bound out and away.
Eight plus two.
No, six, seven, eight.
Oh, like I said. Okay.
Yeah, like we said. Like you said.
I feel like that's a great roll.
You bound out and away. You get clear of it and you're like, "Jumped a little higher than I thought." Gonna land a little harder than you thought.
Okay.
Go ahead and roll a d8 for me.
Okay.
I'm going to use the die equivalent to the roll you made.
A five.
Take five points of damage.
Cool, but do I land near her?
Yeah, you can land exactly where you were headed.
Amazing.
It's just a matter of having that problem of like, "Oh my god."
Absolutely, that's totally fine.
Stinger.
That puts me at, oh god, oh wait.
79. Okay.
I literally cannot count, you don't understand. It's so bad.
That's okay.
I have squirrel brain.
You're doing great.
Okay, so I'm right next to Fy'ra.
Yep.
Correct? Okay, great. I am going to-- I feel-- Sorry, for a little bit of flavor, I am really thinking about what Ted said. Honestly, it's kind of negated by the fact that they threw the first punch, for sure, by sucker punching Fy'ra. But also, why was that my first reaction? I feel the blood and I can't even see it, and it's so sticky. It just feels really wrong and bad and I'm sitting there waiting for the Matron of Ravens to, I don't know, say something to me. But I need to do something other than make something bleed. So I hop over to Fy'ra, and I look at her and I take my hand and I slam it on her arm and I heal her with my Lay on Hands pool.

Input: Jedi mind tricks. All right, here we go. You will tell me. What's the DC on this? uh Super high level. DC 18. Should be 16. Oh, that's pretty high. Okay. As you focus intrinsically, and I will say... Okay. There's not a somatic, just a material component, which is easy enough to-- I'll say, make a sleight of hand check for me, if you don't mind. Because there are two figures in here, and the other is watching closely in this-- encounter. Come on, come on. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 21, okay. So you clasp the component for the spell, or put your fingers around your focus and whisper forth the requested words to create the suggestion within in the figure, you watch him look at you with this coy smile. His eyes go slack for a second. His jaw opens ever so faintly, like for a brief moment, his brain just goes blank. The smile curls up once more. "Yes, it is a gentleman we see in here "from time to time named Armand Treshi. "He's quite involved with one "of the Crawler gangs of the city. "Probably, if I recall, "based on his companions, where he is now." (laughs) His smile. Did you get all that? Yeah, which gang? Oh, which gang would that be? The Paragon's Call. Oh, shit. Ooh, right. That makes sense. Oh, right. They're a bit-- a bit in a dogged state with the other Crawlers. When are all of them not, am I right? Anything else? Oh yeah. Does he know where they meet? Where could I find more craftsmanship like this? I want to know more. Where do you think I could find this gentleman? The spell itself is beginning to, I'll say-- Oh my god. No, it's concentration. Mm-hmm. Well, for this-- You know what, it is still the same request. Okay, I'll let it go, yeah. Himself goes, "Well, if it's with the Call..." At this point, you're noticing over at the woman who's also in this place is looking like-- With eyes like, what the-- You're just spilling the beans? That expression of what are you doing? "The Seat of Disdain is the fortress of the Call." Seat of Disdain. Seat of Disdain. Seat of Disdain, Seat of Disdain. Seat of Disdain. Seat of Disdain. Yeah, I will say his presence here was more subdued. He was keeping to himself, which was unlike him, which means he's probably on the lam. So if he is hiding, that would likely be where. Hellcatch Valley, am I right? Mm-hmm. We are home to those who cannot find home elsewhere. Yeah, yeah, we are. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. 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, 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, watching.

Input: I don't even-- It's later in the day. You guys were approaching the oasis in the, like, mid to late afternoon. So at this point, it's probably getting pretty close to dusk. uh, as my last question before we-- How does your ritual work with the Menagerie? What is it done with those who are more interred here? Well, with the bodies that we have. There is a series of rites that we speak over the body as it is placed within the center of the temple shrine. It is prepared with all sorts of salts and other minerals that begin the process of decomposition as well as preserving elements on the surface. It is then, based on this ritual, we take a sign or a vision from either be the Luck Bearer or the Wild Mother, as to which creatures of the Menagerie should be granted the body. Then we find them and we converse and if it is accepted, then it is given to the creature to be buried. Here within the cave or outside the cave? Outside the cave. That's beautiful. Buried? Consumed. Consumed and then interred. You said this area draws animals from outside. Is there any way that we might camouflage the entrance to this cave? I only--- something we did attracted the gorgon towards us. I would hate to think that more were on the way and that we tried to sleep. I know we may be able to be inside the dome but-- Not all of us. Right. How large is the entrance of the cave? The entrance is probably about 15 feet tall, about 20 feet wide. I don't have to sleep in there. Eremis, is there any other entrances to this cave? Not to the outside. Well, we do have to two, relatively disused escapes, but they just vanish into the jungle. They're sealed, though. Sealed with stone or? Sealed with metal and key. Oh, actual doors. If we had a watch-- We have doors, and Eremis points out to the edges of the chamber and you can see beyond some of these small buildings and huts, there are doors and there are stairs, made of the same stone material that blended in. You were so taken in by the structures in the center of the building and center of the chamber and looking at the architecture around it. Now that you focus a bit on the outskirts, there is a very intricately carved series of stairs and shelves and things in the outskirts and you can see, similar to, like, the Dust family though on a much smaller scale, there are other side chambers and rooms. This was-- this place could probably house close to 60 or so people. Is there anyone else not petrified? Are we alone? From what you see right now, you're the only ones un-petrified. Wow! We should go up some stairs and into a chamber because, you know, I don't think bulls can climb stairs. I can set an alarm at the cave entrance. Yes. To start, but only nine of us can fit. I can sleep outside of the dome. Yeah, you should have Lyra' family sleep in the dome. Yeah, a few of us can sleep on the outside or I can find a hut. Kind of excited to find someone's hut. I'm fine sleeping outside, I don't need the watching. thank you.

So at the end of your turn, as you rush up again, still staring at it, suddenly as you see its eyes distracted by this creature, the astral dreadnought screams, and you shake your head, the roar of the illusion piercing through your head for a second. You look and see it and for a moment, your heart drops. Uh, watching. Kaelen had mentioned this earlier, and you feel, for a moment, foolish for the fact that you've been caught in this hypnosis by this creature.

And that is Charisma, right? Charisma, yeah. Come on, Nadia. That's a fail. He's going to use his last Legendary Resistance to resist it. Last one. His last. All right. It would've been funny if it was me and him hanging out in the Abyss, though. Oops! He just bamfs right next to you. However, Cedric, I need you to make a Charisma saving throw. Oh. Is it Cedric? He would choose Cedric? He wouldn't choose Playar One or something, because... Actually, you know what, you're right. Cedric, hang there. Instead... I don't know why I switched to Playar One. I thought your Charisma was high but then I realized yours is also low. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Cedric hasn't been a huge threat at this point. He's not aware of that. Instead he's going to go ahead and Elara, make a Charisma saving throw. I haven't done shit. All right. Where is Cad on the board? I don't see him on there. Ooh. 16? What's your spell DC? Uh-oh. Oh, for Pete-- Do I see you? Does he see me? Where were you sending? Same place. Same place? Wow. Roll a d20 for me, Elara. Come on, come on! If it's an 11-- Nine. Nine.

Input: like that's what's going on. um uh Peasants. I'm like, oh okay. Conner's at a Michelin Star restaurant, they're serving him with jelly. Have you been to a Michelin Star restaurant before? Yeah. Oh you have. And if they gave me jelly I'd be like, wow I saw where you skimmed on the budget. I can make 20 liters of jelly in like 10 minutes, with like 10 bucks. I don't want this shit. Do you know how hard it would be to fill a bath tub of ice cream? That shit's going to actually taste like nothing though. Like the jelly that comes out of like higher end restaurants actually has a lot of flavor in my opinion. Yeah, if it's like fruit they'll extract the juices from the fresh fruit. Oh God I hate fruit jelly so much. Fruit jelly is the best. Why? Fruit jelly is the best. Fruit jelly is literally the best. Why would you ruin fruit by making it into a jelly format? It's literally the worst. No, there's some fruits that are better. Yeah, like Milkan. Yeah, Milkan. I would argue that fruits make better jellies than they do ice cream. Yeah. I agree. No. Actually yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. You can try it's full potential. The texture of how it's changed by being cooked in the syrup. Look, look, look fruit jelly is refreshing as fuck. Fruit ice cream is not refreshing. A lot of the time. Unless it's sorbet. Unless it's sorbet. Banana ice cream does not count. Banana, strawberry, cherry. Banana ice cream does not taste like banana. I will take strawberry jelly over strawberry ice cream any day. Oh! What? I've never had a good strawberry jelly though. Well strawberry jelly's normally like the cheap, the cheap jelly. The "jello type." The jello type. It's only The Cheap Jelly But Like, so is strawberry ice cream. Strawberry ice cream is normally the cheap ice cream as well. I don't like strawberry ice cream. Oh my God! Oh my God Joey! This is why we're brothers. This is why we're brothers. Well listen, I don't like it either, but I would take it over jelly. Fuck off. Strawberry ice cream I think is just like the worst ice cream flavor. It always tastes like fake strawberries. Yeah. Banana though. Banana's good but it's not, that's not the same flavor as an actual banana. But why does banana blend itself so well to everything? Like everything banana flavor, tastes amazing. Yeah, I agree with that. And like everything orange takes so artificial and shit. No. No. Yes. No. Like orange ice lollies are like orange ice without lollies. Why did you point at me? Why the fuck did you point at me? I didn't say anything. Did you guys catch that slang, Meilyne Why did you? Let's just talk about the lollies. Did you catch that? Or it's because we say it in Australia. Okay yeah. Yeah, we say it in the UK too though. Oh you didn't say that. I don't know why you pointed at me though. That was just slang language.

Input: Thull. As well as some powerful figures. Someone from the Cerberus Assembly in Wildemount. You watch the eyes of your orcish patron open with a look of realization and the first real bit of fear glimmering at the back of his stare, as he sinks into the chair. Oh yeah. They're smuggling that green stuff. Show him. Really? Sure. All of it? Just show him. Fuck. Don't give it to him. I dive into the hole. I grab one of the vials and I grab our case. I put one of the potions down and then I open the box. And because I've gone a little too far at this point: I've seen these vials before in Jiana Hexum's house, moving through for quite a while. Huh. Well, if indeed the Cerberus Assembly of Wildemount are involved, then this is far more tangled and dangerous than I had initially imagined. I don't wish to push you any further, involve you in things that may bring about further loss. We're involved. We're being hunted and are going to be murdered. That's being involved. And we're truth seekers. We're seeking the truth. Thank you. Whatever Thull's been doing is a long time in the making, years. Years and years, and anyone in the Grim Verity, anyone who is pulling at the string on this thing and trying to figure out what Ruidus is, are ending up dead like Lumas twins. I think all of us are in too deep to pull out now. Good god. Fuck you, Maeve Gideon. Come on. Wow. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Fucking Beavis and Butt-Head. Yep. Huh huh huh huh huh huh. Oh, oh, I think we're too deep to pull out. Shut up, Beavis. Shut up. No, but seriously. Yeah. Yeah, Ruidusborn. I want nothing more than to destroy her. Yeah, you're going to-- Destroy her pussy. Just-- That's her job. I feel-- I cannot help but feel a vein of guilt that I have-- I hate you so much, Maeve Gideon. Goddamn it. That's a fart in the elevator. There's no escape. You've just got to wait it out. Okay. Oh, we were so close. We were so close. We were so dramatic and lovely. I am sorry. Well, if this so-called Legend of the Peaks seeks to find me, she will. I will not run. There is no safer place than my home. I spent many, many years preparing for just this. As for Hexum, her wealth, her collection has been rumored to be growing these past years, which is odd for an openly retired spinster such as her, sitting on a stagnant fortune. Well. While I have my curiosity certainly piqued, I fear my influence is quite meager when compared to the growing scale of these happenings. But should you be inclined to continue to follow this road, this mystery, you'll have whatever support I can give you. This is more than simple local politics. This is-- This is Exandrian-wide. We just need to get our friend back. Mm-hmm. He said it's Exandrian what? Wide. Exandrian-wide. I see. Well. Indeed. One thing at a time. Do you

Input: It's still not a mixer. Who's your favorite YouTuber, Meilyne? That's not us. Obviously, we pay the bills. Or "Trash Taste." You can't say us. Do you even watch a lot of YouTube? I do. I watch a lot of food related YouTube or anime related. Do you watch "Report of the Week?" Sometimes. Seriously? Do you like him? Do you like his videos? Yeah. (all laughing) I don't watch all the time. It's like once every two months. I'm a big fan, I watch every video. You guys watch a lot though you have to. We're like YouTubers, right? That's that's part of the job to watch YouTube. Are you a YouTuber? We are YouTubers. It's just part of the job to watch a lot of YouTube. And I don't know if that's just like warped my experience 'cause I don't know how much YouTube everyone else watches anymore. Do you find that? Sometimes I talk to someone and now I just assume, they are also as versed with like YouTube culture and YouTube videos as I am. I always get reminded that I'm way too deep into YouTube and memes. When I say a meme, or I reference a meme, that is so in-depth in meme culture that it requires like knowledge of like seven previous memes. Yeah. And then knowledge of each like variation of said meme. Yeah. Those memes are tough. (all laughing) That's when I really feel like fuck, I'm not sweating. Because also some memes they are funny if you get it. But like when you're trying to describe like peepee poopoo stinky, it's like there's no way of describing that meme to someone, without showing the video, without also sounding like a complete fucking idiot. I'm glad you talked to me like a normal English level. Not with like the mamey stuff. What do you mean? Like if I were to say that's busing mum, she'd be like, "What is busing?" I have that reaction sometimes of you. I'm gonna say, I think busing is an awful word. I love busing, man. (Garnt laughing) Busing is such a, it's got such mm. Busing! Busing. (laughing) I get it. I feel passionate when I say busing. (Joey laughs) It wouldn't feel right for me to say like busing. Why wouldn't it feel right to say it? Well because you're not saying it with confidence. You gotta get comfortable with it. You gotta be confident. You gotta put some base behind it like busing. Fucking hell. My cheeks tense up before I can even say it right. (laughing) You trying to say it's busing. It's busing. So wait, who is your favorite YouTuber, sorry? Oh, Japan would be like Kimagure Cook. I love him. I just love the way he cuts into the fish. Kimagure Cook he's pretty big. He's like top 10 Japanese YouTubers I think. But like he basically just dissects a shitload of fish. Well he cooks them also. Is this the guy who killed the frog? No, no, no, no. That's different. That's like the shit- That was the saddest thing- That frog video. There was like a video on how to prepare a frog. And I think Meilyne showed

She's just a little-- Oh, she's just a little guy? Okay, all right. Whatever you say-- All she did was go, "I'm going to choke my friend a little bit "and make jewels on the ground," and then you decided to murder her. I've been at that party. I don't know, I'm just feeling bad feelings about all this, so I would-- Yeah. -- much prefer to have her unconscious so we could deal with this in a more-- For sure. Yeah. Aimee: Civilized manner. You can certainly try. Yeah. In a more civilized manner. So I'm casting it at 4th, so I think that gives me 5d8. Mm-hmm. So, I'm going to do 5d8 more damage. Okay. What are we at? That's a one. That was nine originally. We'll find out at the end. That's an eight. Yep. That's a one. 10. That's a three. Three, 13, and nine-- Wait. Five, right? One more? Five, eight, yeah. Yeah, one more. One more. Eh, one more. That's a five. Total of-- 18 plus the nine from before. Yep, so we're at 27. Yeah. 27 points of damage-- Yeah. -- that you put into your friend. Yeah. What does it look like as you attack her with your crystal rapier? Murder, it's murder, that's what it is. I don't think that I do it with pleasure. I think it's a very, I walk up to her, and I sink that rapier into, I can't even do her stomach, I have to do her thigh. I just rip it down her thigh. Ouchies. I'm going: I'm sorry, I think this is what I need to do. I'm sorry. Opal. You take none of that damage. Oh. Okay. You feel the dagger sink into her thigh, and that second set of arms grabs the blade at the bottom and pushes forward, and pushes out. What walks in front of Opal-- Where are my little minis? Where's my little guy? I don't think you've had the pleasure of meeting Ted. Oh! Your blade is sunk into the dark shadow of something that looks like Opal, but where Opal is all thin, smooth lines, and litheness, this is like if Opal did CrossFit for three years-- Oh my god, no! -- and was pure raw red meat diet. Oh my gosh! This is meat beast Bandersnatch Opal that is holding the blade-- in her thigh, and walks forward. Ted took no damage? Ted is going to take all of that damage. Okay. Opal takes none.

Then you hear Captain Xandis shout, "Well, looks like things are good ahead of us, "but let's look on behind us "if you have a moment." You look behind. Double rainbows? Oh yeah, multiple. Glancing back over the back of the ship in the midmorning, that cool morning air that begins to shift into the hotter, hotter days that the Hellcatch are known for. A storm is now creeping from behind. Are you kidding me? No. Fuck me. No. However, the adjustment in temperatures between the hot day and the cold that the storm brings end up pushing a heavy amount of wind behind you. Oh! Xandis, with the repairs that are for the most part cobbled together by you and the rest of the crew-- Cobbled. Right. They cobbled, you polished. Thank you. Crafted. "All right, put the sails out. "Let's go and see if we can ride this baby, "make up some lost time." Eyy! Woo! You pull out the sails. As soon as the first wave of wind hits, the ship takes off at a majestic speed. Yeah, majestic! All of you also have to hold on, and you can see some of the bits of loose cargo, ammunition barrels and things that are bolted down and covered, some of them shift backward from the immediate speed, but you pick it up and you actually gain a day of travel. Yo! Did we rest since that fight against the sand creatures? Yeah, we went to bed. We did. Yeah, you went to bed and had a full rest. So how many days? It was five total and we just shaved off a day? It was four and a half, I'd say. You guys did a half day and a full day, so it was three shaved off so you have two more. Two more days left. How long before we have to recast on Sarah? My thing lasts 10 days. 10 days, okay, we got a little-- Or no, my thing extends 10 days beyond... You can keep re-upping. I'll look at it. You just DM, DM. I'll figure it out. Those little crumbs on your page are bothering me so much. Those aren't crumbs. That's some of my nail polish that I picked off. No. Oh. Is that grosser? Yes. Yeah. Tremendously. Weirdly, yeah.

You do get to take a reaction if you want to. Yes, I do. Yeah, 25 to hit. 25 hits. Go ahead and roll damage, and Sentinel-- Sentinel, he's not going anywhere. 11 damage. 11 points of damage, okay. So he tries to move back, and Beauregard punches right back down in the head, taking another three points of fire damage. But in doing so, the eyes curl in and look back in different directions, briefly shaken, and it stays in place. You can now feel just the space around it is vibrating with anger. That's going to end Vokodo's turn. Cedric, for your turn, you spend the entirety of it swimming forward and getting as close as you can to Vokodo, which is right up there, and you just stand there and staring. You all watch as Cedric just floating in the water, stares, head slightly cocked to the side, either enthralled by the jewelry on its back or the actual entity itself. I need you, Cedric, to go ahead and make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of your turn. With advantage? With advantage. This Heroes' Feast is going to save your guys' fucking ass, I swear to god. Cocked. Shake it, shake it! Shake it good. 15? Nothing? Nothing, oh! 15 does not succeed. You stand there holding your space, still glaring at it. All right. At the end of your turn, it's going to go ahead and use a Legendary Action, since you're right up in its face now, to use its bite attack. Shuck in the nose. So as you're right there, its jaws begin to open, and you can see the elongated, pointed, almost obsidian-like teeth, reveal this bright yellow light that burns from the inside, like the heat itself has become like the front of a hooded lantern, but intensely more bright. You watch as Cedric's framed in dark shadow, from your guys' perspective behind her, before it lurches forward to try and bite down on her. The deadlights. That is going to be a... 22 to hit. Yeah. Okay. As it bites down on you, Cedric, you take... You don't need all those dice. You can just use half. 17 points of slashing damage. Oof! Okay. Plus 10 points of fire damage. Great. Okay. And that's its Legendary Action on that round. Finishing Cedric's go. Nadia, you're up. Okay. Um... This is going to-- I'm going to try to use up some of his... I'm going to cast Command.

You sound like you're not sweating it, though. I know. I know. Are we starting this shit now, or are we waiting around? What? Starting what? So, next turn it'll fall prone and end its turn. In terms of... He falls prone, like to the floor of the watching.

Input: ice without lollies. uh, why did you point at me? why the fuck did you point at me? I didn't say anything. Did you guys catch that slang? um, why did you? let's just talk about the lollies. did you catch that? or it's because we say it in Australia. okay yeah. yeah, we say it in the UK too though. oh you didn't say that. I don't know why you pointed at me though. that was just slang language. it just the way it just came out of nowhere, like "Oh, lollies". I can't believe you man. we call them ice lollies as well. oh, the UK? the lollipops, right. Americans call them lollipops too right? yeah, lollipops. don't change the subject. so yeah, orange tastes like shit. no, you're wrong. tastes like shit? you're wrong. I think the orange desserts tastes better than banana desserts. oh, no. oh come on. do you like mousse by the way. yeah, I like mousse. mousse? sometimes. do you just hate desserts Connor? I love ice cream. we found the reason jellies and gentlemen, we found the reason. categorically right? I have not had a single dessert, right? that I'm like ice cream would just be better than this. not a single dessert made me think ice cream is better. I can find you a dessert. or like apple pie. apple pie is great. it's okay, but I can find you something better. what's the thing that you said sorry? you only like apple pie because it works well with ice cream. anything that works well with ice cream. do you like chocolate cake? I love chocolate cake. what kind of chocolate cake? the Japanese chocolate cake? oh I don't think I've ever had Japanese chocolate cake. or like a volcano chocolate cake. American chocolate cake. sometimes icing is just too heavy, you know? sometimes it's like cement like and. it gets lighter when you microwave it. that just sounds. that's the tidbit for the day. no, it's so good. why would you want mousse? 'cause to me mousse is just an inferior ice cream. mousse does taste bad most of the time though. sometimes you just don't want something as heavy, as ice, just have cream, which is a cream. just have less ice cream. no, even a spoon of the cream fills your mouth with the cream though. if Americans saw the Haagen-Dazs size in Japan, then they'd cry. I cried when I first saw it. have you seen how tiny? no, to me that's the perfect size. yeah. I can't have any more Haagen-Dazs than that. but I won't lie, I do wish I had the tub. just so if I really did have a bad day, I could chow down the 2 liter tub. like dessert's the one meal where I'm really picky because it depends on what I've eaten directly beforehand. that dictates what dessert I order. right? you can't just order the same dessert every time. I don't even eat dessert. I agree that ice cream I think is the best dessert. it's either ice cream.

Input: ahead and roll damage. Same with this one over here. Does her divine fury do radiant damage? Divine fury, they should say, I think it does radiant damage. Checking. I believe it is. If it's radiant damage, that does make a difference. Because it's radiant. Yeah. While you're raging-- uh, we just get some regular gray hearts? Yeah, necrotic or radiant damage. Yeah, so. You're fallen, so I think it might be necrotic. We'll double check. We'll check and see if it's a choice, but, regardless, for now, anyway, you roll for your second attack. Yeah. Hits. What's the damage on that? 12 points of damage. 12 points of damage. Does not make the save. The hexed creature crumbles on the ground and as it falls open, you can see the faint glow in its chest on the ground there. Ah, okay, can I grab it? I'll say you can grab it as a free action, but that'll be the end of your turn. Okay, I'll grab it. Is it glowing? It's glowing. Yeah, it's glowing. Did you kill it with radiant or necrotic? I don't know. No? I don't know. You don't know. I think what I have is necrotic, but I don't know.

We keep killing them before they die properly. Nadia, you're on deck. Is it radiant damage? How about this, I'm going to, excuse me, pardon me, excuse me, Dorian! Yeah. Yeah, dope. Teamwork is dreamwork, baby! Mm-hm. That one gets an attack of opportunity on you. That's fine. Misses you entirely. Take it from her. Thank you, excuse me. Pardon me. All right. I'll say, yeah. Moving through your friends, you can do that. You go over and walk through, excuse me, excuse me, slam the heart in, into the second bowl (whooshes). The second one lights up. Come on! Okay, okay. Two-thirds there, guys! Anything else I can do? I'll say pushing through, your action to pull it from her and put it in there, I'd say you have your bonus action. Look at that big ass cat's paw. The one that Clara fucked up that's under Frumpkin's claw? Yeah? Can I look inside, see if he's got a glowy heart? Make an investigation check. Investigation or perception, your choice. Investigation always. Fucking ballsacks. 11. 11. Unfortunately, it's hard to see. Its chest cavity is not exposed through a severe amount of damage. You're uncertain. You know never know what's truly in someone's heart. All right, one more to go. Okay, that's it. All righty. That brings us to Nadia. Sylvia, you're on deck. I'm holding my action for the next time a whole bunch of them come up. Okay, you got it. Staying where you are? I'm staying exactly where you are. Sylvia.

Input: was wondering, do you allow outsiders? I don't know if it costs a fee or if you need some sort of letter of recommendation, but I am very eager to learn about the library itself and the city and everything that I can learn about it so I can write more extensive-- it would just mean so much to me. Make a deception check. Uh, it's all true, though. Well. It is a 13. A 13? Okay. Well, of course. It is open to the public. You're required to come when there is an available monk to escort you through the premises. Of course, you cannot take anything from the archive itself, but you're welcome to read while in the presence of one of our various monks and/or worshippers of the Knowing Mistress. The entire library? Well, the public portions of it, yes. Oh, of course. Yes. Just need to come on a day in which the archive is open and available, sign in, and you will be assigned one of our various attendees of the archive and you will have the run of the public library of which to read and make notes of. You may take your own copy of notes, but once, of course, it is only within the public space. It is far simpler than I had imagined. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you asked. Thank you so much. Forgive me, this is forward. What is your name? I'm Jennah. Archivist Jennah. It is a pleasure. This is a different subject almost entirely, but I was wondering, I mean to make a stop at all the great libraries of this city. I was wondering, is it a similar situation at the Hall of Erudition? They are a little different. They maintain their knowledge for those who are actually there as part of the curriculum. You'll have to speak to the headmaster as well. They have, from what we know, as we are not allowed either, quite a decent cache of arcane knowledge as well. There has been some sharing, but they are particular. What was the headmaster's name? That would be Ornit, I believe. Let me double check here so I don't say it wrong. No, that is, no, Oremid Hass. Oremid Hass. Yes. Oremid Haas is running the Halls of Erudition? Yes. Okay. Apropos of nothing, I have heard about this tower attack. That's terrible. Yes, that was a bit disconcerting, definitely. Thankfully, it is a well-defended tower. The Zauber Spire has stood for quite some time and has its capabilities defending itself as we've seen. I'm amazed it did not fall. Well, you should ask them how they did that. You'll know as to why they're so secretive. Do they accept-- oh, no, they don't accept visitors there. Well, I don't know. We always go on specific business, so you can certainly inquire. I haven't attempted to go from the standpoint of a possible student, but you could ask. Well, I have taken up enough of your time. That is all right. I'd like to say thank you. Have a wonderful festival. Of course. You as well. Happy Harvest Close. I turn a corner and fucking book it. As you return to the rest of the group, you guys are met by a strangely adorned Derek with an interesting ensemble. Got some new specs there. What do you mean? Gideon:

Output:

Input: Oh that's great. That's huge. Wow. Healer. uh All righty. I think Fiona is the best healer we've ever had. um As you guys pull back into your chamber, there's a few nods. Darrow's clapping and the rest of his team are clapping. There's a clap from two of the Mountain Makers off to the side. thank you At which point, "The Mountain Makers!" are announced and they step out into the space. As they all gather, hiding in the corner, spreading out a bit, two of the sides open. Out of one, two large furred entities about eight to nine feet tall come rushing in with a combination of fur and feathers, these hooked, dark beaks at the tips of their mouths. Two owlbears come running in and go into an assault on these people. They took some hits in the last battle, and as it goes back and forth, you watch as they're striking it and cutting through. The owlbears are screaming this horrible squeal of pain and anguish combined with ravenous anger, and they start tearing and pulling into them. watching One of them grabs the gnome in its beak, pulls up and tears its throat out. The gnome gurgles as it falls to the ground. The two clerics immediately come up to the side, getting ready to rush out there to try and save its life. Another one of them manages to hit one of the owlbears in its leg as it falls on the ground and they all start slashing on it. It looks like one owlbear is about to fall as the other one, in a complete frenzy either partnered or what, tears and grabs one of the dwarves and starts biting into its face as it screams, it falls unconscious on the ground. It grabs another, and bites into its chest, throwing it into the sky as they spin off to the side. As they all begin to pick up to assault the one that's going after them, the one on the ground slowly gets back up and joins the fray. You watch one by one as these owlbears, on the cusp of dying, tear through the Mountain Makers. At which point, the crowd goes like (gasp) "Whoa!" Big cheers. Cheers because it's a display, but also that mournful "Whoa", that low bass-y sound. At which point you see the two groups come out again with the chains and the come up to the outskirts of the owlbears which then pass out, and they put the manacles on and then pull them away. Derek: They pass out when the manacles go on? uh Right as they get up to them, they pass out. They pull them off, and drag them, the gates open wipe, the clerics rush out and grab and drag in the bodies. The gnome is gone but one of the

We're not done. Fuck! I start straining my ears for that. (slow claps) Oh no! Yeah! Wait, what? It's Daddy. Dad's still here. Daddy's still here! He's still watching. You think he went away? Yeah.

Input: sinewy bits of his body, there lies an old man strength. Amazing. But it's calm and quiet and stoic, and he resonates peace when you see him. Right propped up against him is a simple, simple staff with an obsidian-tipped spear and a few leather tassels that run down the side. He's bare chested, a large bracer belt over his midsection.

Told them to get in contact with Allura when they're ready to depart so that we could get ready for the assault on the Malleus Key. While, of course, we are still so young and able-bodied, you know, we'll take all the help we can get. And I know asking one of the other Ashari leaders, it's risky. Join us on the front line, Cerkonos. It would be my pleasure. Thank you. Damn! That was fast. (fingers click) (hands clap) That was so succinct. He's going to rise up, and as he rises up, notice that his book marker is on the last page of his book. Oh. He puts it away. As he stands, all of the sinews and joints pop, and crackle.

My AC right now is 28 because of Bait and Switch. Whoa. 28?! Oh, what? It comes down-- I rolled an eight on the superiority die. -- to slam around you and you pull your shield upward. Shield up. It just gets stuck on the shield, and you feel it begin to rotate and try and crush. This magical weapon, a normal metal on this would be bending. You can almost expect to hear the whine of metal giving way, but it holds firm. You can hear this angry gurgling in the open throat of this creature as it pushes and pushes. As it does, you begin to see multiple long thin tongues lashing out of the mouth, almost trying to reach and taste for you. Don't like that. Come on, man. I like that. You come down-- Are we coming down? You're at the bow of the ship looking-- I'm pushing a ladder off the side of the ship, seeing what's going down over there. Get us in there, we're getting them out. I'm going to start going down the ladder so I can just get to the very bottom and help do a handoff. Age before beauty! Right now, Lyra was on the-- Kicking her back in the sand, and then it latched around. So Lyra is on par with the creature. He's not above it, he is more or less being held in the side of the slope. I'm on the sand slope by its face? Yeah. Is it possible to fly down... Let me make sure I can do this. Fly down-- Ah, fuck me running. I can't do that. Fuck me with a plastic spoon. Can I fly down and try to pick Lyra up and fly back up? You can. While you dart back down, realizing the situation, you see Lyra get grappled by this entity. You're holding on, your shield is wedged in there. You suddenly feel Gwen rush down and put her arms around you. But your shield is currently lodged in its mouth. What do you want to do? I can't, I can't. Not without the shield. Is that a whole action or can I cast a spell? Trying to grab and pull, what are you trying to cast? Command. Not without the shield.

Output:
- The party rushed toward a specific space as the ship crested downward, resulting in everyone tumbling to the bottom of the slope.
- Cedric engaged the giant creature with pincers and successfully blocked its attack using a shield, causing the weapon to get stuck in the creature's mouth.
- Dorian and Marcus attempted to lower a ladder from the bow of the ship to help evacuate the group, while Dorian made a joke about age.
- Maeve confirmed that Lyra was being held by the creature on the sand slope and attempted to fly down to rescue him but failed the maneuver.
- Gwen rushed down to protect the group, but the party realized they could not retrieve Lyra or cast spells without first removing the shield lodged in the creature's mouth.

And welcome back. So last we left off, the Mighty Nein had made their way northward across the Barbed Fields, the ground zero of the most heinous battles of the Calamity. You avoided a hunting roc, from atop a massive tree known as the Arbor Exemplar, raided parts of its nest while it was distracted in perpetual bat form. Made yourself northward, past the dangers, to the city of Bazzoxan, discovered elements of its history, and headed westward across the base of the mountain range. Through the dust storms and difficult visibility, eventually uncovering through divine spells, the opening, the hidden entrance to this strange underground location, of where your quarry, Obann, was seemingly searching. There, you went through the various tunnels into this deep, dark interior, this subterranean realm. Came upon some strange obelisk. Made your way to a doorway, where you found carved statues of celestial entities while the door was left upon and you saw, as fresh blood was pouring from their eyes, entering into the following courtyard, this cavern-like, enclosed underground courtyard, you saw what looked to be a massive, curved wall, like the outside of some temple or tower that lied buried deep in the earth, exposed within this courtyard and surrounding it. Rubble, broken and torn pieces of armor and metal and weaponry, and over a dozen alabaster angelic statues like the doors themselves, all facing this entrance portal. Also bleeding from the eyes. You scavenged around, found some bones. Tried to find information about whether it was recent or ancient, but you did discover that the front adamantine door that seals this location is partially opened and beneath it, about a foot-and-a-half of space seems to continue inward into the chamber. And that is where we left off. So. You guys were deciding to enter the chamber. If you guys are doing this, is there anything else you're doing or are you moving forward, and if you are, what's the marching order?

Marcus: I think I start-- Derek: Gideon already-- Marcus: Gideon already started. Game Master: That's right. Marcus: Crawl in. Borlan: I want to go over and grab that skull. Game Master: Oh, the angel one? Borlan: The one we were looking at. Game Master: Okay, you pick it up. Look at it. It's smooth, like the dirt doesn't seem to cling to it, like almost as you breathe on it, you can see some of the dirt drifts off. It almost repels the dirt as part of its celestial nature. Marcus: Ooh. Sylvia: Oh. Borlan: Nadia? Lyra: Yeah, yeah? Borlan: Do you think it would be disrespectful to put a head of an ancient being into a haversack? Marcus: (laughs) Lyra: If you're asking... I'm-- Borlan: You've talked to them before. You've talked to things that were dead. Lyra: Sure. Borlan: Do you think it... uh... watching... thank you.
