Welcome to campaign, to concoctions.
Everyone's worried or a bunch of sleazy scum, who likes to drink
and play DNA. Welcome!
I know, I struggled with this one.
This week. As I couldn't his side last last
time. I'll actually be used one of
them. So I wasn't a fan of that one,
but thank you everyone so much for joining us on this journey
of Cooperative storytelling. You can always find us on our
internet things. There's a link in the
description with are you can find Us on our Discord, our
Instagram page. The you can share that link
where so people can find us. And listen to us.
I want to give a special shout-out to the Air Force,
Special Warfare discords Channel this week.
I know you guys we were talking about you guys listening.
So busto and preach, thanks for hopefully listening in.
So when you get to this episode, you'll know where we're at.
And then some quick news, we are going to have to skip a week
because If we didn't, we would be playing on New Year's Day and
I think we all plan to be suffering from hangovers.
So we decided that it would probably going to be better for
us not to play this that week. So we're going to skip a week.
It'll be three weeks from the day that you hear that or that
this drops that will drop the new episode.
But with that being said, currently right now, we're
missing a couple of players Curtis is out.
Doing family stuff with family type people, we are waiting with
bated breath the return of John, just like his character in the
game. So, but with that before we get
into drinks, do we have anyone got anything that they would
like to share before we roll on? No, I'll take that silences and
no, but we have dranks rice. I'll start.
So I this doesn't have a name. It will, I will add it later.
It's 1.5 ounces of American whiskey 1, .5 oz, dark rum, half
an ounce of lemon juice point. 75 ounces of a semi sweet brown
sugar cinnamon syrup. I made I added like a half
tablespoon I think of cinnamon powder next time.
I think I just You use cinnamon sticks.
So it doesn't have the powdery texture to it and then three
dashes of orange bitters and two ounces of apple cider and shake
and strain. It's pretty good.
I like it Matt. Yeah.
So I do this is the first time I've actually done this because
normally John and Curtis are monopolizing all of the cocktail
making accoutrements but I did a Negroni twist.
With mezcal cause it's kind of my jam right now.
So I did a two parts Mezcal. I forget which one.
Okay, I put it, I put it back in the box, right?
Overly medical, it doesn't matter.
And then I talked too much money grow.
Instead of Campari rapper all and then one part Antica formula
for my sweet vermouth and the Mezcal is mocking us, elope
bollocks. Most probably.
Yeah, sorry. I don't know of it.
The message. Give me about the used it
before. It's the one we've had for a
while. Yeah.
I think, I think we've probably done a very similar version of
this, but Curtis made it and I was in a mood.
So, here we are. And it's not me.
It's just, I, I really I, if I was there, I'd be making you
guys that Earl Grey Martini that I made last night, which was
amazing, but I drank too many of them.
So I'm probably going to have this one beer and then that's
going to be it because Cuz I actually do have to work next
week. So do I?
Wait, well, but with that family Christmas, I don't know.
Yeah, so the last time that we met, Our adventurers.
Eventually came up with a plan to deal with some of the longer
and far-reaching implications of their last encounter with the
massive Dragonborn that had stepped through the portal.
And then also they sought out some information and planning
about Seeking the mushrooms basically, of and defeating the
creature that was making it difficult for the local chef of
Driftwood to to gather them again.
And they were able to secure the services of a Riverboat and
we're making their way up the, the river there and the island
of Haven. We left off at the beginning of
a new day as they were approaching a fall a small
waterfall. The sun is beginning to rise.
It's still a little Dusky because of the forest the rain
forest that is surrounding this this River But the captain is
there. She is.
She is pulling forward. And she has got you guys going
forward, but the day is yours. You know that here in about an
hour, you're all going to need to help to get the boat up to a
place where you guys can can go forward.
So what would y'all like to do? Question.
HMS getting can I just like take a look around the surrounding
area and just see kind of instill is it morning?
Remember, it's morning. It's just kind of surround us
and take in the surroundings. Okay, go ahead.
Make a perception. Check for me, please.
That's amazing. That's going to be 24.
Okay, so it's you. Just kind of glance around you
the you kind of start up and you look at the the separation.
This kind of that this ribbon of it looks white, the sky just
because it's of the contrast between the dark green of the
leaves, and then you your eyes carry downward.
And you look, there's a thick thick canopy of trees.
But below the triple canopy. There is the trunks of the trees
where you have some pretty decent visibility where you can
look between the trees and kind of see what's going on.
But then the vegetation about two feet off the ground gets
thicker again, where it's really difficult to see you have the
sense of moving water, you know how most like, Rivers, kind of
give off that sent that. That kind of fresh clean scent.
But it's also intermixed with the low me and kind of decaying
foliage scent of just the natural Forest that's around.
You hear the sounds of birds of small mammals, maybe a monkey.
But other than that, there's not much happening.
That was probably still curled up on the deck with a cloth over
his head. I'm going to is there anyone on
deck that like, doesn't seem wouldn't be too bothered by if I
like Join them it for a conversation or it's not exactly
a large ship. It's probably 15 feet across
there and maybe 20 feet 30 feet long at the most.
Right? Right.
And the only reason it is is because this is a really big
river. It's quite large, but there's no
like below decks. Everyone is on Deck.
So fancy raft. Yeah, okay, right.
And so, it's probably casing around muttering that the boats
too small, the boats too small. SOA.
What seems to be bothering you this morning?
I guess just feeling a little confined.
You know, in the, in the space. There's like a like a side, it
like a side, eyes it at Patrice at that point.
Yeah, there's not enough space to escape those who are
troubling, you that's just not enough space in general, okay?
Systems the boats, being a little bit bigger than this and
they're being somewhere for me to get away from everybody.
Try loving a coffee table. What?
I cracked. I was out loud.
What's a coffee table? Fancy little short tables, you
lifting lived in one room. Part of, that's right.
Maybe you. You you spent time in one Spent
time in something being used as one.
You are a very interesting, interesting person.
Mr. Splashing water on L. Yeah.
I don't want to socialize alone. You fucking you dragging me into
this land. Good morning.
Albert could would you like guys?
No such thing. I was about to light my pipe
from. You would be interested in
joining me this morning. Let's go reach into his bag.
Fill out the first cigar you grabs so I'll pull out my pipe
and stuff. It, I think I have like at once
I have it apple one, but I might be wrong with that.
You do, do you pretty sure that was right?
It's all stuff that apple and I think that would go well with,
like the scent of the decaying leaves around.
Probably I'll just light it up and I'll offer my light to 2L.
Is it a magical light? No, it's just, I guess what
would it be the Flint or I use Flint?
Then. Sticks are pretty ancient
technology. You probably have matchsticks.
Not come up before I don't work. Usually there's magic around to
do it as you as you hold up the mistake L just going to blow it
out and pull out his lighter, because he man's Barn raising,
but these generation rescue station.
What I've been paying attention to scold, I learned a thing or
two finger guns. Stark. if there's can, you guys
tell us a little bit about Tinker mirror and, and what what
home is like, since we'll be heading there shortly bug people
mind their own business, sometimes we mind other people's
business went to Is it just a cultural difference that you
mind your own business? Like people don't want to
interfere or there's pockets of places that it's more communal
oriented and stuff, but it's All of Haven can sit into a couple
of the buildings. We have there may be one.
Does this competition? Make it cut throat?
Like a cutthroat people watch out for themselves because
they're saying if you have throats cut.
Yeah. How big are these buildings?
They're fucking big. Take the Shirlene standard on in
and that's one of the smaller ones.
Okay. So, yeah, by smaller.
I mean that someone's house that doesn't count the below-ground
part. What's what's below ground?
More stuff. Holy why would you just go up
when you can go down to? Because going down is dangerous.
I mean, if you're mining like theirs, we're not going out on a
limb here. Morgan.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I'll step in if it's necessary
you guys doing just fine. I mean, my father worked in.
In the mines and it ended up killing him.
He was in a mining accident and took his life.
I mean, it's a, I mean for what it is, it's fairly safe.
But you're, you're digging into the Earth and earth.
The earth is unpredictable at times.
You know I get it right? We use both the land in the sea
here. It was why we doing here,
addictive all, unless you have somebody that can control it, or
predict it. Some technology you have there.
I don't think we have much of that.
Insight was technology. We do have a lot of that though.
Well, then some wizard craft to that, I don't know anything
about. It's actually really quiet here,
kind of like that. Weird.
It took some getting used to. So they're really loud when you
open that many people in that confined of space.
Are you talking about the buildings, or the city?
Yes, huh, so just just for context, Ellen, and Sark.
It is a confined space, but it's also a massive City.
So, but it is, I mean, it's a city.
So for those a lot of verticality, but it's a lot of
people crammed into a small relatively Very small space for
what it is. It's a, it's a proximately five
million people. So a lot of people, a lot of
rich people, a lot of people in between from you, that's
everywhere. In my experience.
I mean, there's as many rich people, as there are people
here, A lot of people. At least.
Depends on your definition of Rich.
Well, that tip, there's a fair bit of slide compared to what
we've experienced so far outside of that made most of the people.
There are rich compared to here. No offense.
But I've been around, but I've mostly been on shifts that were
coming to her from here. So Why am I up this early?
Change the topic of conversation.
From what the other thank you all for distraction.
This is a very lovely would make fucking coffee here.
It's all the kind of flat. Yeah, but with the moving and
rocking it's coming, fuck up the flow.
Probably wait till after the waterfall, the coffee.
There's a waterfall. Yeah, and in a little while,
we're going to have to help pull this ship for sure.
Navigate around to get around the Rapids.
I don't lie. We have to lift the boat up.
I'm going to pull this that we weren't gonna have to do a lot
of work, another plan. This was it was faster going
back. It's also you know My
understanding of this is it's a lot of work all at once.
Those two walking through a jungle.
Brief moment of exertion versus days of annoyance.
Yes, that's fine. Again, we would roll a
perception check for me, please. 20 20, 20 to 25 and that 19.
I didn't hear yours 22, as well, okay?
There's a 14 for me. Does my own face does my new toy
to get several the perception as well?
Yeah. See advantage on stuff.
Almost. That's a 19-4, my monkey list
and describe your homunculus. Again, what does it look like
right now? It looks like a little four legs
insect kind of thing. Okay, well for everyone but L
because L is not quite awake yet.
You begin to hear that distinctive kind of like Roar of
water falling. It's not massive.
Like for those of you who've been around, like Ellen shark.
When you go to Falk Wagner, then there's that met, there's a
massive waterfall. That is a couple hundred feet.
That's true. That that roaring sound.
It's not this, this is but it's enough to be distinctive your
homunculus though. L kind of takes on a pointer dog
stance where it's like front is pointing towards the sound of it
and the ship captain. She hollers at you and says be
prepared to to hop off. We are going to turn into soon
as we turn this corner. We're going to need to, to
breach the not breach, but we're going to need to To land the
boat and we're going to then we're going to drag it from
where it needs to be, but we this is a journey, we make often
we have the tools and things that we need, but I am going to
need your help to get it done quickly.
And as she speaking you kind of look forward.
You see this sweeping right-hand turn and you as soon as you see
it the reason it's so loud is not because of its height but
just because of the width and how much water is pouring into
the into the into the river and you see on the right hand side a
with looks to be kind of an improved area.
There's a small little beach with a beach.
The boat. That's that's the term I was
looking for. There's no dog.
But there is a small. There's a small post wooden post
that has been stuck to the ground that looks like you could
say could tie to and the captain is dead.
Tina her ship there and it's so you feel that the edge of the
ship kind of hit that hit that the beach and she hollers off
and you jump in most of you except for L have no problem
because but the water is a little tight, a little high on
l. But as you get out, she the
captain direct you on how to pull the ship up onto the beach
and I'm going to need the four of you to make straight.
Check for me please. Strength, not acrobatics their
Athletics. Nope.
unnatural one with a negative strength, modifier for a total
of one actually, I think Nope, I already made it.
Don't worry about it. There was a better thing.
I could have had you guys roll but According being a part of
you just saw straight Shack. Yes.
Kill because it's fun. I got 12, okay?
I got 15. Okay, if I was at a 6.
Yeah, you guys are not strong reaction.
How much does this Vine not? Wait wait, I root of 40 before.
So not a lot, it really doesn't. Can someone roll a strength
checks for Patrice as well? And again, like I have all of
the stuff, so He gets an 11, it's not a super high one so
with Patrice L and and Sark are able to cover for for Sid in
SOA. As s0 actually falls into the
water. Yeah, just stay down here for a
minute, kind of embarrassed, but I can breathe underwater.
So, you know, not a huge deal, but your as soon as, as soon as
the captain's able to, she pulls up the big stick gets out and
pushes, she helps And then we are able to get the boat all the
way to the beach and then she says, you know, give it, let's
give it about five minutes, catch our breath, and then she
goes on a little walk to and she goes to see where she can see
some things like me right now, trying to remember where I put
my dice. Okay, there after we get a beach
while we're waiting. I'm gonna call my homunculus
down and start talking to it and gnomish, okay.
Just explaining that this this is a waterfall.
It's not a very big one. I don't know if it really even
councils of the waterfall, but certain butter comments.
Water is falling. You speak gnomish Stark.
I figured it makes sense, but I just wanted to double-check,
it's fun for anyone that can understand that, I am just
explaining it. Like I would to a child who was
just seen a lot. All for the first time.
Yeah. Because it has an intelligence
of 10 and it's about a day and a half old I don't think anyone
else can speak gnomish though. So, I thought there was one
other person who could but I don't remember.
I also got enough to sent me Patrice is languages.
I mean, I can't I'm assuming you can't maybe regardless, it's
just click of your very weird pick for John Doe of made.
What else. Stop not here skills.
Not here man. Eventually the captain comes
back and tell directs you to follow her.
And after about a five-minute walk, she takes you over to what
looks to be. A, a manufactured Hill, that's a
little bit less steep than the surrounding area.
And you notice that embedded in this hill are some logs And she
comes up to him and she explains that what it is is that you will
need to drag the boat to here. And then there's some ropes that
they'll attach to the boat. And then she shows you, she kind
of kicks the first login. It starts to spin in ground.
So there's a way that instead of having to like heft it up over
your shoulder and carry it up, we don't have to do any kind of
Navy SEAL shit here. We're going to you're going to
pull the boat up. So I don't know why, I know that
it will what it's reading to my daughter the other day and I was
like I don't know this morning I got to look this up when you
wear, right? Like when you have to like worry
about Overland yep something like this.
Or it's not fun moving. I've done it with some rubber
writing craft and it's not fun. Especially when the instructors
make you hold it over your head with arms.
Extended luck, be on the short guy.
So I just kind of do fingertips most of the time.
I'm not really helping but so far, so, Takes you back there?
This time. It's a lot easier.
Everyone got to get ahold. They dragged it up there, but
we're going to need to do is there's going to be five of you,
six of you with the, with the captain.
So it'll be three on each side. So like once you get there, and
it's set up. So it sits right on that first
log and you can leave it. And then so the captain has
attached to the ropes. And then on either side of these
logs, there's a path. That leads you up.
And then you see there's a flat area that has been built up with
some logs, that'll that could create a platform.
So the three. So the three and three, the
captain having seen a few pathetic attempts to help is
decided that she is going to divvy up the teams.
Because she rolled really well. So she is going to put s away l.
And herself on one side and then Patrice Sark and Sid on the
other. And then what we're going to do
is we're going to make Athletics checks right to pull in this
one. It's basically just like a tug
that you guys are doing. You're going to make a cut.
We're going to do this a couple times.
Yeah. Goes off.
How many checks are we making good?
Can I use music? And like helped pull can't
compete with Nate and Kelly. Cool like what?
5 pounds yeah, it might be with my strength.
Thank you very much. Sarcasm 17.
Okay, Patrice has a 10. Okay.
I have a 24. Whoa, eight.
So eight. Eight, eight.
Okay. Lt15 and the captain has a 17.
All right. So like as you watch her pull,
you can kind of see. She is definitely a muscle
Mommy, right? She is got that.
She's got some cannons going. She's a strong.
She's a strong cat. So, fortunately With SOA
struggles don't really cause much of an issue.
And it's this is this is the initial difficult part, trying
to get it all of the boat onto all the rollers.
And after a little bit of a stutter because it's just like
for some reason, SOA can't seem to get into Rhythm until she
eventually starts to hum of work, like a sea shanty, you
know, she gets it to the Rhythm and she begins to start Pulling
you get about halfway up and that's when everyone's kind of
starts to feel it again. And if I can get everyone, to
make a another Athletics, check for me.
But you picked up the SRI Scout 5.
Sorry I was a 1550. Okay else got 18 cap that's the
way it has 18. Okay as a teen and then the
captain has a dirty 20 thank you Captain if you like Starcatchers
Patrice from falling like nope that's not what we do.
Patrice is hair gets in his way. Kind of just flops with the
humidity. It just kind of and he just
can't see for a minute and he kind of Loses his grip and can't
regrip. And then it's Arc helps him, the
hair gets back, and they start pulling and everything, and it
doesn't take much that you're able to pull it back up and get
it over to the end. You notice, as soon as it kind
of halfway over that last roller at tips and then there's another
set of rollers that kind of pushes it down towards the
water, And then the rest of the journey is super easy to get it,
back to the water. So as the you guys get back on
and get floating back, the captain says we have maybe about
an hour. If you were going to wear the
chef from Driftwood, normally sends their people.
So it's a fairly uneventful trip though.
After you get a little bit of distance from the, the waterfall
at quiets, back down to its, you know, that steady hum of insects
and birds, the occasional monkey sounds, and then the just the
rushing of the water against the hull.
But that hour goes by the captive pulls off to the left
side of the bank this time, and just so you're aware.
And I don't forget with the our warning Patrice Casas, casts
Mage Armor on himself. Okay, that sounds good.
So they pull up to another Sandy area and this one is a lot
flatter so like she doesn't need any help with you beaching the
ship and she just kind of gets a good put couple of pushes and
he's able to get it but she points and as Look out.
This is kind of to the north a little bit.
You see that you can kind of tell that the trees are
shrinking in size. And as you look into the ground,
there's not as much ground vegetation.
She warns you that this is a bit more of a marshy area swamp like
as you get north towards the the what they call the locals call
the point, which is the massive Central Mountain here in in the
island of Haven. So let's go ahead and let me
know what is your marching order.
Oh, she points out. One thing before we start
marching that, there are boards that you should really stick to
as you walk in. And you notice that, there's,
there's like boards that have been, that kind of sit above the
water, probably about a good six inches.
As you get in, you can see that there's, there's ground that you
could walk up, but you see it coming.
And there's it's like double boards and then as you walk on
it, you know that it's big but it's it's above kind of Like a
marsh marsh land so you don't sink into it.
I don't ask about a ten-foot pole lunch.
We got what's our marching order.
Who are you? Okay.
So this circle move for. We had our thirst.
I make sense, okay? We have Patrice, it's a world
where you going to be next? Yeah, I'm covered with, so let's
do that. Don't S, I was gonna go spend a
little bit of fiddling with this new pistol before job, because I
get office. And she also mentioned trees,
Marcia marshes. I really do.
Let's just put the truth in the middle because it's fucking
easiest since you Curtis is in here and you want to be Caboose
or me, are you okay? So yeah if start turns around
and tells a blast he will shout for talent of.
Yeah, that makes sense. That's why I have L wandering
off. Excuse me.
So It takes you probably about 30, or 40 minutes of walking to,
finally get to the point that had been described to you that
kind of the entrance into like the mushroom hunting grounds
that the chef de Driftwood had described to you and you get to
smell it that that scent of that penis, the the little bit of
decomposing leaves and things like that.
And off in the distance. Everyone begins to see what
appears to be some Stone ruins that are kind of Christian up
above. And right there, we're going to
take our first. This is gonna be really quick.
We'll take our first break and then I will show you what you
guys see when we come back. Welcome back everybody to
campaigns concoctions, where we struggle to actually find what
we were going to make for drinks.
But we have a couple and let's describe.
Please, I have a take on hot toddy, I don't have a name for
it yet. So did one and a half ounces of
the Woody gem, 3/4 of an ounce of Apple whiskey from Leopold's.
I don't know if it's the New York when I think it's the New
York one. It is the New York won.
The New York Apple, whiskey for me, upholds quarter, ounce of
lemon juice, mostly lemon juice and then a spoonful of Honey
because it was halfway to being solid, so we don't have an
accurate measurement on that except Spoonful and then I'm
supposed to be about 4 ounces of hot water to think about 6
ounces in this one, but it's really nice.
Not really in your face with any of the flavors, but it's cold
currently and I wanted to Beverage.
So I made a Naked and Famous mostly.
So this, additionally, this is equal parts.
Drink and not John's equal parts drink.
This is actually equal parts. So typically, it's 3/4 Oz,
Mezcal, 3/4 Oz, aperol 3/4 Oz, yellow, chartreuse and 3/4, Oz,
lime juice, We did not have a parole so I use Amino Denaro on
a butchered that sorry, instead it's pretty still good.
Well an excellent One Whiskey and I doubled up my last drink
and because I thought John was going to be here and he's not
yet so I'm drinking the one I made for him.
I'm not sad about bullying. It and unfortunately family
because of waiting we had a little bit Late start.
So today is probably going to be a shorter episode which just
means that you can get through it.
And it's a, it's an easy excuse to get away from your family
during the holiday season because sometimes we all need
that, like, my whole family is here in the house right now here
in operating location Alpha. So but this is it contains and
concoctions. I'll be right back.
I need, I need to get away, guys.
So, hold on. Let me go listen to something,
but if you would, please, for those of Of sorry family.
I'll maybe see if I can take a screenshot or something.
But those of you back at campaign, concoctions.
Hey, HQ, if you would go to the roll20 page there on your
tablet, Let me make sure I got players where they need to be a
players or here. So you should be able to if you
get into the game you should be able to see everything around.
We apologize for the technical difficulties.
Please stand by please. Thanks, please stand by.
But as a, as a descriptor, to see what so that everyone else
understands what we're seeing as you Exit out of the main Forest
left of this Marshland. The your feet are clanking on
the boards and you see a small set of stone ruins that that are
popping out of the marshlands. You look, and you see that while
most of the degradation of these ruins comes from a natural
source, it seems like there's Some melting of maybe something
else that has caused. As you look, you'll see that
there are. There's this, there is water on
the stone but the pain of the wood path ends there.
If I get everyone to make a quick perception, check for me,
please. I feel like that's what
happened. What I need is to get some of
these recorded with some sort of weirdness and just hit my stream
deck and have it play. But I'm not that advanced yet.
I don't have the proper recording software for that.
All right, so other than the natural one, what else we have?
The tree says a 13. Okay.
Only 24 SOA. Okay.
I got a 60, my homunculus. Got a 12 K 16 and what about
Patrice three Scott a 13s away and you were looking around.
You see a flash of green on the northeast side of these ruins?
The if you look at this map here, where it shows that the
walls are thick, Sure they're also taller.
Then you see, kind of like a Slither of green that kind of
ducks inside the building that northeast side.
Okay. Where the green thing is on the
map? Yep, okay.
Sorry. I remember we're like I had it
had initially so I had to scroll up on the map now.
You're good, you're good. So I can control these guys as
well as you guys can sell. Whatever works, easiest.
That's fine. You also hear hissing?
It's very feral and aggressive. We'll see that.
See? What?
Something green. Yeah, I like I like signal.
Right. Like there was if down Looking
for something. Green in the swamp.
Cool no I feel something green. Moving over that way.
Hell Are you not hearing the hissing?
Fuck. Are you talking about now?
That it's been pointed out? All of you can hear it.
I'll search instantly going to start trying to stealth.
That is a good sign. If it's not what we're after,
it's probably still going to try to kill us.
Mm-hmm, I'm just supposed to have Stark do sixteenths,
controlled another eight, different dyes.
So I have a 16 stealth of start tries to be sneaky and
swampland. That seems kind of fitting your
role in a stealth. Check, I'm assuming.
Yes, thank you. Lord.
And I'm casting a farmer of Agatha's on myself, okay.
Cuz I have some warlocks spells now.
Guys know but temporary employees don't stack I can't
stop that with heroism in your image.
Oh how sad you can't break the game.
Timmy try please. We both felt like like who your
tanks. Yeah.
It's the bar de Munck. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I would have waited to have, it doesn't matter.
You have to hit them. Don't actually know, nobody's
hit him yet. It happened that first fight
that I went down. I've been down since, I don't
know, I did go down but those were three breath weapons that I
didn't dodge. Oh yeah, I know that was.
Well, I'm like, I don't get a vision unless I feet into it,
which I can do. Like, I think that's the next
level. But anyways, that's fine.
Um, so yeah. 16 stealth Patricia stuff prepared, but it's
probably one sweet inner kinda. So when, Just just for my own
gratification here. When it was like, Hey, I'm gonna
run Curtis his character because we know Curtis is going to be
out of town and Curtis is like I will get my character sheet.
Is it just a character Shear? Is that like a spreadsheet of
action trees based on what might happen?
Because it's Curtis somewhere in between?
Okay, I had a list of combos that he sent me.
It's like it's like Yeah. Okay.
So for those of you listening at
home and it was about just, I don't know, I have a Galaxy S 9.
It is almost a full page on my messaging app.
Yeah, yeah. Of compost.
Which is great. I love it because I don't have
to thank you. No.
I was just like, oh, all right. But I mean, that looked like
about eleven text messages, if not more, the double digit,
number of ideas that Curtis has Curtis.
We miss you, you're listening to this and here will be, he's one
of our regular listener, so you guys wrap it around.
So, the listen to remember where we were, I feel like I've been
called out for not listening to the podcast on a regular basis.
No, no, I would be that. We don't guilt ourselves to the
internet. Never done that.
It's cool. I'm not going to listen to it to
hear this guilt trip. So, here we are.
It's fair, it's fair. So, what would you guys like to
do? Is it since I saw where this
thing is was like, kinda get eyes on it.
You can try. The thing is, is that these
ruins are not small, right? So, it looks like the exterior
walls here are probably about 25 feet tall, the smaller walls and
the inside vary from about four and a half to 12 feet.
Okay? So there's that like L like
inverted l-shape A wall kind of in front of where we're at right
here? Yep.
Yeah it cannot. Can I cut it up it?
Yeah. So this this is above water so
here where the where you guys are at alright is actually most
of that is under water. You would actually be on the
board. I just couldn't get the map to
do what I wanted it to do. So yeah, if you would like Like
right there. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna get,
I'm gonna try to find it. Find it.
Yeah, Athletics or acrobatics your choice.
I believe acrobatic flew my choice.
That's an 11. Not that bad.
It's because you went to that corner.
You're able to get up there. It's there's a couple of times
we slide down your, you slice your hand, open a little bit at
one point so you are bleeding a bit but you're able to get up.
And then since you were actively looking, go ahead and make
another perception. Check for me, please.
Yeah, well, that's not great. That's an eight.
So you're not able to discern any more information about it,
but you do watch about right here.
You want to do something, kind of were mask with a why slides
over top of that smaller wall into this, this room here.
Starts going to move up to next as being a captions or using a
disposal, everything you can move your, those, those meet
those, those characters to capable of doing that.
I can't get it to click with the little pad on the Tableau, no
worries. So, do you want to be on the
wall? Or do you want to be over here
next to the wall next to the mall looking forward?
All right. What about Patrice?
Patrice gonna stay on the boards and hang back.
Move up just enough to be within spell, casting distance of those
trip, okay? L and sit where you guys going
to be. I told, did you say the walls
were about 25 feet for these, the big thick ones and anywhere
between four and a half and 12 feet for the thin ones.
He's here. Cool.
So I have 4 cup butter on any wall.
Yeah, for you, for sure. So then me.
Everyone else in town? Yeah, it's Patrice.
Can I get on the Did you announce where the thing was?
I I pointed out, it'll record moved.
We don't know exactly where it is to ignore.
You have is gonna be like hug, okay?
Yeah. I pointed to, where the Ping is.
Can I just hug the short wall? Next?
On the right side of SOA. So these are, this is actually
one of the taller walls. So it's not quite as tall.
But it's this that one that's always on is probably about 15
feet. So yeah we can be right that
we'd like to be Perfect. Thank you.
And then L is that, is that Walter that's always on as wide
as it looks. Yeah.
That's five feet. Cool.
I'm gonna hide south of SOA behind that wall, perfect.
Yeah down. Yeah.
That's where you're at? Yep.
Hello. That name says skull?
Yeah, that's a. I wasn't sure.
So that's fine. Oh yeah.
Sorry. I moved the wrong one.
Yeah, he's gone. And I'm gonna try and look into
if I can don't know when we're rolling initiative.
Look into the building to see if I can spot unnatural movement
for well, Non Flora movement. Okay, make a perception check
for me, please. That's an 11.
So right here, where the Ping is in that, look at what looks like
a doorway, you just kind of catch a flash of green, not that
it's you can't tell if it's moot if it's moving across you just,
you just see green in that doorway.
Sorry about that Family snacks, moving them out of the way.
We're going to have a sort of tabletop version of the map too.
Because we can all take a photo of it.
We do have all these beautiful miniature.
Yeah. So you guys thinking I like I
don't I don't have like a I don't actually know where it is,
right? I can tell that things are
getting tense. I will cast.
Why I closed that? Remote cat is just false life on
myself at first level. Yeah, this works Morgan.
I'm also a going to give myself a mirror image for the next
minute. I accidentally deleted SOS.
I was trying to copy her. It's not, it's not duplicate.
So copy it. Oh, that's right.
Yeah. It's just it's Teresa's
magazine. Each time, I'm targeted with an
attacker and spells duration. I roll a D20 to determine
whether the attack, instead targets, one of my duplicates,
that's right. Well, they're back.
I'm still trying to learn to roll 20, speaking with sponsor
us. Give me.
I don't even want the money.
I just, I just want the upgrade for free because I miss my old,
my old table virtual tabletop. They are no longer in business
and it makes me very sad to Astros pretty good. so wherever
the astral plane will play, that's our source going to try
and sneak up to Here. Okay, makes tell check for me,
please. Significantly better.
That's a 27. Sorry disappears into the
Shadows. but the party does here, an increased hissing and a
would eventually sounds like a kind of juvenile Roar as this
green. It looks like a worm Lee.
What you would have been described as a worm Lean Like A
green dragon almost comes out. Bonus action.
Oh, you just moved, I moved the map.
So I gotta move everybody because I I I I accidentally
moved the map. Okay?
Wrong layer upon layer problem are damaged.
That's the fun part of the issue with.
Yeah. So I mean I guess I can wait on
that. Well, imma give you a bonus
action right now because something's about to happen.
So, Bonus action. I'm casting hex blades.
Curse on the wermeling. I guess I should do something.
So yeah. Yeah.
Alright. So with that everybody go ahead
and roll initiative. Yeah.
We think we yeah, we definitely should because Cirque just
rolled on that one. 2220. 19 for SOA 19 for else.
16:4 Patrice. 10 to 15 12 verse 8.
This is this. And then, what do you got there?
64 Sark and attempted to make. Also, look at the feet of water,
or whatever it gives me the plus 5/2 and the struggles at 111.
Yeah. All right.
So, first up is going to be SOA or L.
However, you guys want to do that.
Do you have a plan? Because I don't have a plan yet.
Hasn't seen the damn thing is just okay.
So this point I'm assuming, right?
I have to put here so that ending so, Is that produce a
visible effect? No, no.
No, I'm not really that Nate can.
Can you be a dear and tell me how far away I am from it?
Possibly, I got you. I can't be okay.
What are you 35 feet away after climb down, right?
You could jump multimeter. Well, now 25, nevermind number
that this one's about 15 15. Okay, okay, so I can only jump I
feel like being a person. I'd be comfortable with making
that jump. Go ahead, make it at acrobatics
check. God fucking damn it.
That's a nine. You take six points of
bludgeoning damage as you just totally land wrong.
The problem is that there's no rocking.
That makes sense. But that will only count because
you jumped as your fight as five feet of your movement.
Yeah. Well, I know her concentrating
on her back at those. It wasn't concentrations, know I
normally have Armor Deck those up because I just ate all my
temporary which is annoying as shit.
The ground takes 3.17. Yeah, the ground takes five
points of cold damage because I'm pissed off about this.
All right, there's a so Marsh. Slushy around you more,
seriously. That's probably not going to
work on 7. I should I should I try to fund
new thing or should I do. Yeah, I'm sure the funny thing.
Okay. Morgan, can you move me up to
that like actual l-shape? To the yeah right there,
perfect. And a, my 15 feet from the
creature at this point. Yep, exactly.
Okay. Well, this is probably dumb.
I'm going to lightning were. Okay, so I need a straight maybe
throw from the worm wedding. Okay, that's a 17.
God damn it. Never mind the rest of my
movement to get behind that little wallets there.
Yeah, yeah right there. Thank you.
Alright. So L you see this thing now.
Well, that's not ideal. I need to cool down a little
bit. I'm within 60 feet of that,
right? Let me, let me find out for you.
I'm pretty sure you are the think so.
Yep. Cool.
In that case, I am going to Step out just to where I can see it
point my pistol, at it, and cast shatter.
Okay. Nice.
What does it need to do? I'm saving throw from it.
What was that? Saving throw on.
That's a 12, that fails. So that takes 48.
Thunder damage fund. Wow, that is a terrible role.
She's 69 points of damage. Damn, yeah.
To one's a tattoo so it's not made of in organic material.
Is it? It.
No, it is definitely organic. That's what I thought it was
worth a shot. Someday we're gonna fight
construction is going to be actually fucking to you
shattered, his full effect and it's gonna be great.
You did the very first time I DM for you motherfuckers and that's
what why do you think you guys? Don't find stuff like that?
No more. All right. so now, It is the
caustic crawlers turn. The car it's it's going to come
over here to SOA, okay? And it is going to take. it's
singular. Claw attack.
That's a 19 to hit it. It's difficuit
Well, you know, it doesn't hit a duplicate so I'm Gonna Catch
Shield. Okay.
So for interactions. Yep, for my spell slot so that
mrs. Okay.
Come on, hit me.
All right. That's that's its turn.
So the Treece? Yes that made it slightly
easier. I wouldn't have been able to see
that either. Can I see the PhD?
There's a re re re re how this works PHP, DMG that does me a
whole lot of good at the moment. Thank you.
He's casting web centered on the dragon.
I just have to read how I think subtle spell Works.
Nope. Caracals, help.
So yeah, he's spinning a key point and I'm not going to be
creative because I didn't prep that Hartford Patrice actually
knowing Hills Red Bull shoulders.
It's going to send you a list of I'm not gonna get the phrasing
right but he'll grab both shoulders and like pull towards
the center and I'm going to flick them both out and he's
casting web centered on the dragon, which is a 20 foot Cube.
The Vibes are difficult, terrain, it slightly obscured
each creature. It starts its turns in the webs
or that enters them during its term with make a deck save
Creature restrained, makes us strength check.
However I let the DM rule. With careful spill with that
nullify that save each round. Or just the first round, read it
to me, please careful spell. Yep.
When you cast a spell that forces other creatures to make a
saving throw, you can protect some of those creatures from the
Spells full force to do. So spend a sorcery Point, choose
a number of creatures up to your charisma modifier chosen
creature automatically succeeds on its saving throw against the
spell. So as long as that spell is up,
whoever you decide that that you with that it doesn't affect it
stays. So like if you're doing s away,
SOA will know what will have to make the dexterity saving
throws? So accounts is difficult to rain
but it, you know, I'm whole again, move veteran.
Yeah, no, that's okay. Yes, I'm sure Curtis had exactly
the same height. He just can't see Stark.
Yeah, I know it's one of the compost listed careful spell
with web. All right?
Yeah, but else behind the wall just to be out of sight of the
Dragon. Probably right there Comer's.
All right. Next up is going to be Sid.
All right, pretty good view of what what's going on there.
So SIDS gonna go, she kind of out of her Palm shoots this
stream of acid. The Dragon are what's it called?
The caustic. Crawler here needs to make a
dexterity saving, throw cannons a 16.
That's a 14-8. So at the start.
Oh and FYI this is level three spell.
I did not catch that it was going to make it level 3.
It will take at the stars turn it will take 6 D, 4 damage of
one as the damage, okay? This is Tasha scoffs to brew,
okay? Until it wipes it off.
So each start of each of his visitors to take 64 damage at
the start of the creatures turn, correct?
Okay, I will, I'll stay where I'm at right now.
How many on my turn? It does require shouldn't wipe
it off by the way. Yes.
All right, so next up is Sark because it's a fun stuff.
Not so bad. I now casting that third level
before you're actually flying stressed about it, bro.
I know I should have said it though.
I feel bad. Yeah, you should have.
But yeah, I mean that we all learn, right?
It's all right. We're learning.
I give makes me learn. How far is started drinking?
Sorry. Mark is 25 feet and there's a
little cut here just to the south of you Sark.
Yes sir. It's going to probably there at
least 10 feet before the web start.
Oh, yeah. Okay, then search goes me.
Let me double-check the 20-foot Cube centered.
Yep. Okay.
I'm sorry. It's going to go sprinting.
See the webs and trying to LEAP to right behind the dragon.
Awesome, I like that. So make a acrobatics check.
That's a 12. So you'll and Jerry.
Keep your, do you actually, you actually trip on the first, the
first bit of web that you try and get really close.
So you get there, you like right next to it, to the, to the worm
Lane, but you are prone. I don't know if you have there's
like how far 20 feet. Yeah you still have to have half
your movement since you're a monkey Munch Munch as the 25
feet. I can stand up but I got my
deck. So I am stuck. 14 against Curtis
is 16. My dice hate me for saving
throws. That's what it is the first
restrain, so I don't move. Okay, I'm fine with that
flanking. Yep.
So creature strain. Well, I'm not planning on
moving. Anyways, that's fine.
I'm going to attack the crawler and caustic.
Mmm, we're just going to start with three, that's 24, standard
attack action and I won bonus, action, 186 to hit on the first
one. For Max damage.
That's 11 bludgeoning damage. Okay?
Second strike is an 18. Yeah, that hits from nine
points, a bludgeoning damage that Another 26 to hit.
Yep but I don't mind Falling on My Face.
Mold off for eight points a bludgeoning damage.
Okay. To stunning strike the last time
so we need a constitution. This is from natural 20 for a
total of 24. So you're gonna buy the drink
motherfucker drink, holy shit, right?
Give me a drink after that. You want the rest of that out.
Alright. Anything else Arc?
No, he's gonna punch it and realize that didn't work.
That long ago. Oh shit.
Like everything landed, but he didn't stop moving.
And he's like, hmm. That's not good.
Well, I don't write anymore. I'm I suppose concentration.
I just double check but I'm not getting like that.
Supposed to be an advantage but oh well, they all hit.
I don't care anymore. Yeah, right so next up we've got
L&S away. I'll go do for you.
I got a simple turn planned, so I'm now flanking, right?
Hold on real quick. You have started it, your turn
within 10 feet. I need you to make a dicks
Constitution. Saving drill Moving the web
thing, right? Nope.
Well, that's a 22. All right, you save and you are
immune to the caustic fumes that are emitting from the creature
for the next 24 hours. Okay.
All right, I'm flanking it right?
You are. Okay.
So I'm going to hit. With advantage.
Oh, that's 1616 hats. All right I will defensive
flourish. Okay. and then, okay.
Bonus damage. So bring about inspiration.
So that's 18 points of damage. On mr.
Dragon face. Okay, and my AC is 22 until the
start my next turn. You also take six points of acid
damage as the blood of the creature, hits you and begins to
burn. Doesn't matter.
You just have to make, oh, I supposed to do this with you,
you're lucky because you were supposed to take that three
times. But I forgot I was supposed to
be rolling an advantage for being flanking so it works out
right? Yeah.
It's so this one it's called acidic blood, a creature that
hits the crawler with a melee attack within 5 feet of.
It takes studi sick of Acts Adama JH, is there a visual cue
that it be acid It's green. It doesn't appear to be affected
by the acid that you threw on it.
Oh shit, you don't need more. Well, I don't know that yet.
So I don't die before. Yeah yet, but it's else turn
next. Okay, we'll wait for that one.
How far away from it. All right.
Now that let me double-check something and make sure it's not
an option. Awesome.
I'm going to toss out reach into my backpack and toss out a small
cannon. and have it walk over to, Where it's kind of in cover
Behind the Walls opposite to the left of me.
Okay, so like over here, below that here.
Yeah, right there. It's got 20 feet of movement.
Yeah, and then I'm going to have it and it's going to be a force
Cannon. So we use my bonus action to
have it fire. And imma do the trick. 122, so
I'm well within range. What the fuck is 7 damage on 3D
8? Go talk to her.
No, because of the wall the walls too tall.
That. Like it's easy.
Sergeant Sark looks okay. So the student ISO is okay
that's what is actually fine. Like Ethel has not taken
actually that much damage, you know, and that case he's going
to go with his stem with his normal method of attacking, and
drop a ball bearing into his pistol and shoot it.
I use using catapult. I think you would need to move a
little bit. Probably want to meet a move up
to here to get a good view. That's fine.
That's the cannon. That weird one.
That's fine. I just needed something quick.
Yep. And that is only using it at
first levels is 48, just with my Canon with my Eldridge.
Do I do I roll. Let's save.
Would you roll attack on that one?
That's just know. It does get a dexterity saving
throw. That's a nine.
That is not a safe so it takes full damage.
That is yeah. That is 17 bludgeoning damage,
okay? Hey, it's starting to kind of
look a little bit rough. Not not too bad, but it is.
Try to show some signs of damage at least signs of damage.
So it is now the start of the Dragons or the worm liens term,
you watch as it turns around and licks off the acid, Doesn't do
anything. He just kind of doesn't do
nothing to it. Okay.
He's not wiping it off. He's just kind of tasting it to
see how it goes. It means to make a deck save.
Okay, take save that is a 10. It is restrained he's fine.
Frank's check to break free. All right heat but he's going to
make a Cloth or a contact? Yeah, Claud.
Attack against s0a. And that's a dirty 20 dirty 20
misses right? Cause you got a 22. so yeah,
that's its turn then But it did take any damage set from your
your acid writer. Write.
Nope, Patrice. Oh oh yeah.
Okay so with sharks spectacular, entrance into things Patrice,
hang at 904, that casting is He's going to take about 10 feet
forward so just move up a little bit.
Drop concentration on the web so it goes away and then he's going
to Twin cast haste on the Sark and SOA.
That Patrice guy. Advantage.
It's do it, but that's fine. So yes, our Cast Away or now
hasted we get an extra attack. Sark only gets one both.
I'm excited about two attacks but we also get plus 2, bonus
DEC 24. Oh my God.
The issue here though is I might do I keep hitting this Tim?
Ozarks gonna go full moon goes down with haste, do I get?
So you get an extra action or as your eyes shake attack, one
weapon attack only Dash disengage hide or use object
action. We also have advantage on
dexterity saving throws, so I can cast A spell and then with
my hayseed action, make an attack.
Yep. Yes.
Okay. Oh hey so that's good.
You should have cast in the first place instead of fucking
Armor back those. All right, anything else?
No Patrice is going to kind of do that.
And like, focus on holding it for the moment since this seems
kind of knew. If you concentrating.
Yes, so web is gone, but the other two are Suddenly feeling
jittery. Alright, so next up is Sid.
All right, so as Sid seized the dragon lick off the a Siege I
think that El and probably Patrice and maybe SOA can hear
her shout bitch. I can play that trick too and
she spend the source report and becomes immune to acid for the
next hour. Anyway, so number five, anyway.
All right. So since going to grab two,
Crutcher Warhammer with two hands and charged at the dragon
and take a swing. Yeah, you are immune to ask the
damage. You said, right?
Correct. The next hour.
No, I am resistant. Resistant.
Okay. So you take half damage at them
at chef and that's our Thanks. Nice certification, Morgan
commentator. Swing that is going to be.
I believe a 12 which by doesn't hit 12 misses Okay, and then
that's fault. She's going to cash.
Misty step. To where she can see.
Among gold behind. I'm go right behind that little
short wall to the right behind her.
Now So back where she was. Yeah I know here here yeah yep.
So you go here because you guys see.
You've got to be able to see it so you can't step to that.
And then I'm going to use how much movement do I use?
You just 20 feet of movement. So I'll use my last ten to duck
behind that wall better. Tell me.
We're asking for the goddamn red button.
It's also got an angry mob behind it.
Yeah, I believe I just put my key 666 away and cry.
Sark's turn. Yep.
Spinning, a key point to do Flurry of Blows.
So I'm hitting it for five times.
Okay, I'm just gonna roll a tax, a little roll damage afterwards.
Their own Advantage, hang on to hit on the first one.
It's Second check. Is a 23 to hit that hits.
Third attack. Is a 21-2 hit like yep.
Before I get to my bonus action will actually roll damage for
these to see it. Start goes down from splashback
burst damage is no 6 points of damage, okay?
For joining. I started my turn.
Their do I need to roll against its miasma.
You get roll. It's a, it's a dicksterity or
Constitution. Saving throw.
Is it poison? Yes, it's the poison condition.
Okay, I have advantage against saving.
Throws from being constructed resilience, okay.
That is a nineteen you save in your immune to the fumes for the
next 24 hours. Okay, so I can attack damage.
That's 11 points a bludgeoning damage.
Okay, the third attack for all my actions is 7 points a
bludgeoning damage. Okay?
How much damage do I get back? So you take or four and ten?
So that's total of 18 points of acid damage.
But tell me how this ends. I want to break both of his
legs, back legs, and then jump and a hammer fist the middle of
his back and just snap right Wings, come in.
Yeah, so like Snap kick, both the like backwards angles, so he
kind of like rears up and then a hammer fist in the middle of.
Where would be wings? I don't know if it has wings but
we're what does it does? And make, so go ahead and make
an acrobatics. Check for me.
What's a 19? You kind of cut around to the
right side of it and take a roundhouse kick to where the
joint is and you separate the leg.
Did you hear this? That the gristle and everything
cracked and then you roll over on top over to the other leg and
give it a kick with the other leg as it did the exact same
point and you watch as the hindquarters of this of this to
this Wormley just settles and then you just kind of bleep and
twisted the the air and Hammer punch right down in the middle
of the back. And you hear the spine just
crack as the rest of the body. Now collapses to the ground and
that's that that one Oliver I regain 6 hit points which takes
me back to full health Search looking to wipe off, like that
go and be like, hey, well, you should bottle this as you just
like, flicking His Hands On Top of the creature and it's as so
when it hit where it hits the creature, it doesn't do
anything, but as it hits the ground, you watch it, as it
begins to kind of bore into the make little holes and you can
kind of look around. You can see in the stone where
there's like, drippings were like it's saliva and it's, it's
acid has dripped in it. Left little little droplets on
the, on the ground. That's where it kind of doesn't
like flourish thing with a Rapier to like, get everything
off of it. Twice, real jittery right now.
If I didn't actually create two more attacks I couldn't you guys
were you guys were definitely lucky that because if you had
failed, the breath weapon say that I was going to do next.
It was eight dd6 acid, damage really glad I got hasted.
This is a it was a pretty cool creature.
I found was a Homebrew and it was just as I put the stop block
onto a worm lean so So pretty cool.
Is yeah, that was fun. That's so what would you guys
like to do now that the creature is dead?
I'm gonna get right that has to be it.
Sark's going to find mostly water in the swamp and just kind
of like make sure stuff is rinsed off his gloves.
Now just kind of disintegrate into the water and make sure
he's not covered anymore. So like so, so Sark there was in
the, the wooden stand and metal parts of your of your hand where
you had made contact with or and your feet, right.
It was either, you know, cutting through the, it was starting to
melt through the The leather, or the would the metal, but the
moment you get get it wet. It seems to negate the acid Hmm.
Hey, that's what I Splash yourself with water.
I'll be, I'm feelin fine but you know I like the water I dive in.
It's not super deep, it's probably about wasting.
So I like I like I like to lay down in, it can be a little bit.
I have can I collect up to five vials of whatever is on the
thing. You can I have five empty vials
to collect. Obviously, there's going to be a
check here to see if you, well know, it's just it's blood and
its saliva are all. So however you want to do this.
So I'm going to actually make a nature check for me real quick.
Whoo, nice, cool. Nice roll.
Okay. That's intelligent face.
That's a 22. So that's a random.
So sometimes you learned things that win-win Sark is reading and
learning shit and you have an idea that a creature like this.
It's not only that like there's it, generates it like a saliva,
spit or anything. This is actually a blood-based
thing. So you know that if you were to,
you know, open up an artery or a vein, you'd be able to get some
access to this to the blood of this creature, and collect
files, and then go ahead and make A dexterity check for me to
see how much of each vial you fill up.
That's not going to be Gary's good.
So you're able to get to full vials and then three half files.
Your are you wearing gloves perchance?
Yeah, your gloves are now gone. All right, that's what gloves
are for. It's like the most funding
elephant. Yeah,
they said we'll come be out behind the wall so that's what's
it's like being immune to damage type.
That's fucking weird. Do any of us have a Big blade.
No, no. Correct.
I kind of wanna I want a tooth though, right?
What is I mean, the clothes it would be called.
Okay, never mind. Nope, I mean technically SOA
does have a large blade. This is it right here?
It's a large blade. Okay, okay, I think I think I
know. A hand axe on a dagger.
I'm almost shocked. Don't bother with the dagger.
Gonna cut stuff. Out of things.
Surprise for Stark actually and like, whoops.
Oh man. Sark's going to dry with like
water skins, dribbling down. Just kind of like hacking at it
with the hand next to just remove the head.
Kind of like a wet saw. Okay, that's inventive.
I like it. Let's go.
Let's go with a.d.d. 100 for me, please.
It's not really skilled base but it's kind of it's really
inventive, so I gotta go. That's awesome.
That's double zeros. 1000 jar you here.
One. Right?
And I cancel one. Yeah one yeah, that is a one
which because I do like to do things backwards, you
successfully or able to cut off the head of this worm Lane with
very little damage to the hand, axe self.
Nice. Okay, where did this is what,
Matt and I just decided because this is the internet
that is actually a house rule because according to the
player's handbook, that's actually supposed to be
something else. I don't know.
It's it makes no sense to me. I think it's okay.
That would be a 10. Yeah.
But I don't like it, so it's yeah.
It's not an 11. Anyway, sorry, it's a very, it's
very dumb the way that that cable setup.
Sorry, Skye, kind of rinse, the stump of the head, just to make
sure that whatever you do is neutralized and basically make a
sling for it to carry. So you would get the sense
having studied so much of organic functions Sark that this
is probably the blood that is causing this.
So, Yeah, you would know that you would just need to drain the
blood out of the out of the head of this creature.
So what you owe me? I'll just grab the hook on top
of one of the walls Loop. It tie the snout basically.
So the heads hanging pointing up and then be like.
So where are we finding mushrooms?
I've got to drain the rest of it first, but we're taking this
back with us. Challenging got to cook it for
us. I don't know what the hell this
thing is, but I want to eat it. We can't wait that that nature.
Check that that you successfully.
Did you think that it's probably a very bad idea to eat this
thing? Yeah.
I don't know, they don't want to eat that up. like, Just
stabbing. It hurt me.
I don't, I don't know. I'm not, I'm not a vegetarian,
like some people side. I have the trees but I don't
want that in my mouth. Yeah, that's probably not a good
idea. That is literally what she said.
You can always take it off. Appendage back and try sucks.
Got that cool head. That's totally going up on the
outside of a warehouse inside. People can't steal them instead.
Oh, ye of little faith challenge accepted.
Are we going to take a leg off of it?
Preferably one of the rear legs kind of bigger eyes?
Yeah. So I haven't haven't watched.
How Sark does it? You're able to successfully chop
off a leg without doing too much damage to your to your hand, axe
cold. It was a nice.
So I think very carefully, put it in the bag of holding without
touching the outside of the bag of holding.
If I An okay for now, we'll come back later.
Okay? Or hang it.
Let it drain and then you don't have to be as careful.
And don't stand up to that. Now, let's not get so the the
chef described the areas where these these mushrooms / truffle
type things are and you're going to need to cross.
So like the basically the if you remember with a that the ruins
are kind of like in an island and it's going to be surrender
in the area surrounding it kind of like the that initial Coast
around that water is where you'd find it.
So, whoever wants to to look for mushrooms, go ahead and give me
a investigation. Check, please.
I'm going to look at the ruins Jared turn Dyson.
Not purposefully its investigation and not survival.
Yes. Yes, I can roll survival, and
that's 15. Okay.
I wrote a 19, okay, Circle the 12 Patrice Roldan 11.
I feel like that should be higher but I'll take my 19.
So Patrice and Sark don't get as many.
They seem to Fat have just found kind of a dull space.
You see a little bit of evidence may be of some eat.
Some of this may be the serpent is warm.
Lean was eating eating some, some stuff there.
You get between the two of you paid.
Maybe about a half a pound, but Sid, probably gets about a pound
of mushrooms and then Sua gets 22 pounds.
The trees and start combined. Get a half pound.
Yes. So these these mushrooms are
very, very black with spots of a deep deep purple.
And then L what are you looking for at these rooms?
I mostly want to stay if they're if there's anything that might
show they were similar to the precursor stuff that we found so
far. Okay, go ahead and roll
investigation check and with Advantage.
Ha ha. That's 24.
These no, these don't. So they're not of the same style
as what you guys have seen. It both in rügen and underneath
the freed City, but they do appear to be of the same age,
mmm, so that they're that old. But they look different.
And they don't have that. Because you as also, you realize
this L2, that with all the magic that had been cast, nothing,
weird happened, yeah, that all the same Precision that same
weird feel The we don't have that like wobbly magic.
You'll be having real gun, mmm-hmm, and underneath
underneath the free City. Oh yeah, okay.
I eat a couple mushrooms as I'm gathering mushrooms.
They are phenomenal, okay? Nothing weird happens, they are
delicious, you know, and I'll just in case mushrooms and once
I figure out, they're the same age, can I just I'm just kind of
started looking around for anything interesting about them.
Anything that stands out at this case, That was a devil she could
roll because these are exposed have been exposed to the
elements for so long. There's really not much left.
I mean, you can't even get a sense.
Other than this building is kind of school.
Is is a square. It was a square at some point.
You really can't even get a sense of any of what of anything
else. The building is really falling
apart crumbling. You can see where the saliva of
the worm, the worm, Tourmaline was was falling where it would
melt into the stone. Yeah, unfortunately it's really
difficult to tell because we're this building is located.
It is really kind of just decorated to the sense of where
you can't even get a real good idea of where everything's at.
Okay, I'm going to Yellow for Patrice nsla then not like in a
panic but it's like yo Patrice. That's the way.
Yes, did you know about these things?
I've never really been out this way before um because I'm more
of a water boat person. It's a boat.
It's not my it's not might not but you sucked through this.
It's not my kind of boat way too small.
I cannot hear it from anybody on it, that's fair and Patrice will
answer you. That he is not made it this far.
Got distracted by what's Underground.
I was going to ask if I can roll for like what I would have
known. Go ahead and enroll a history
check. And do you have his skills
there? Nate, I can roll him a history,
check as well. Oh my God.
God I will need teens so I know some stuff.
Maybe yep, priest doesn't, that's nine.
So this actually comes for you as so a, a little bit kind of
surrounding the history of those who live under water here on
Haven because there's the ruins that the Trident or the Trident
and the seals live in. And there are a plethora of
ruins throughout the island. There's the, if you remember the
tunnels that you can transport to that's part of that.
So there was something here, you're not sure, no one's quite
sure what but there was quite there's quite a bit of ruins
throughout the entirety of the island.
A lot of runes are right, like most of most of my people live
in Ruins that are now under water.
They're not ruins to us at this point but they're what you would
consider both on the foundations of older shit.
Yes, exactly. Because this shit is what we
found underground. I don't think any of that was
underground at some point. Potentially. there's rooms above
water and Underground. And so you're saying the island.
Probably used to be a lot bigger at best or at least we're
sinking. Currently sinking would be a
much larger problem that it used to be bigger.
Are used to be bigger. Before I feel like the
underground water while the people would have noticed if it
was currently sinking or something, massive fell on it.
He's a big-ass, fucking skull, the harbor, houses in SOA.
I need you to roll an Insight. Check for me, real quick, and
say, Can we count? This is a short rest.
Sure. Awesome asset to you.
I'll roast under arrest for you as well.
That's a 12. You have a hazy recollection of
scenes of seeing something fall in one of your dreams.
You don't remember what and you don't remember, which of the
dreams that you do, remember something falling.
I mean I was playing that like she remembered that so I am
giving you them telling you. Now that you did, So you're
saying a little something, whatever, left that skull fell
on the island. And now that's why it's mostly
underwater. That might be the case. because,
I whatever, whatever left that skull still here.
And I would have had to have fallen thought that's a long
way. It was a long long time ago.
The rules of for still apply though.
Oh yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I just yeah, I know this is that
was fucking huge way bigger. Do I know if that should have
been bigger than? What do you mean?
I'm thinking actual like, force of impact.
To push an island underwater that far.
So it would have to be either really really big if you would
you would understand it. Yeah.
Right. Let's go too small for it to
have been big enough. Yeah.
Oh this this goal is most likely remnants left over from it.
It's not right because I'm basically trying to figure out
if it was Was it force or mass? That was the major part of that
equation or acceleration or mask.
That was the large part of that equation for each time.
Or is it is if you don't like it, Because of this goal was too
small for her to be massive enough to cause that, then it
would have had to have fallen really fucking far.
No, it was probably, it, would it be hard for you too?
Well, one it probably be hard for you to figure that out
unless you found like the crater and all those things but like
your views your you're on the right track, right?
You know, but there's no Critter at this point, right?
We just had the skull it sells next math problem.
Besides the fact that he can't figure out how the sure Shirlene
works. Yeah.
So in relation, I know it's near the harbor but in relation
because it looking is the skull looking into the harbor or away
from it, it's looking towards the harbor.
The question is face down or face up.
None of them face up. Get this.
Looking towards the harbor. Unless something's on his skull
all the way around, which is possibly, if it fell down like
this. So, so I want everything
backwards in my chair for those of you listening at home.
Yeah. Chest into the ground is face
down. It's settled like, if you had
placed a skull. So like this.
Yep, we're making that. So yeah, that's how that's how
it's settled. That's how its or at least,
that's how it is now. That's on the fact that there's
a hardware that we assume it was landed face up.
Because that's where the crater would have been and then it's
looking into the crater. Are you articulating all this?
Yes, this is all out loud. Every single part of it has been
out loud. Oh, this thing is gigantic.
And we have, we have like mountains.
Are you saying the mountains or what?
It's fine. I'm saying the anatomy doesn't
not check out. Okay.
Like, I recently come to believe God himself said Curtis isn't
here right now. See to me to recently.
Come to believe that you know, What whatever whatever that
skull is. Is very invested in this island
and I think it's a part of it. And I think that that There's
still a presence. A soul still here, more fucking
leeches. Well, I don't think I don't I
don't think a powerful one. Wasn't enough.
What? That other one I don't.
I don't think I don't think it's like that.
I think. I think it's beyond the Lich.
Like, I think that this is a higher power because I'm fuck
the gods. Oh good, let's not have a list.
Let's add a fucking god to it too.
That's why stops talking because one fucking Lynch wasn't bad
enough. Let's not be Hasty, maybe it's
not a God, maybe it's just an amazing Mortal.
I mean, if it's, I don't think it's math.
It's bigger than if it's more powerful than a lich.
It's a god. You can call it a demigod.
You got there the fuck you want it, okay?
It might as well be a God. You can believe what you want to
believe. I'm not going to jump to
conclusions. Does anybody mind that any of
these mountains? Do I know it's?
He said this is not that kind of Island.
We're the we're the go-between for the North and the South
Right? Like it's not and nobody, not
any carrying is why the rest of his body is and I had fucking
skull set in the harbor and always look for them the bones.
I've never thought about this before the past couple of days.
Return to look at soccer. It's that event is just the
island, or is this everybody outside of tank earlier?
What the fuck is this? I don't know.
Do you think the high to make new gloves really well?
Begun for new loves. You can I get some of that cool
like miasmic effect from the gloves?
Many think that was from the blood.
So unless we could circulate blood through the gloves, how
would be interesting complicated for punching people with?
Yeah. Be fun, though.
You can probably make rose out of the, you can get the weird
Cloud thing without the blood that because my gloves are gone
when I was collecting the blood. So yeah, I need new clothes to
from punching it. I'm stuck.
So I got my backup pair, but back up, back up, back up.
Sit, two digits. Like change the subject.
Yeah, they did. Hmm, you guys not like the
silent. There, you don't understand
people here, the giant fucking skull movies, looking for the
rest of the goddamn skeleton. Sometimes, I'll always in here.
Hey, hang on, sometimes golden is always been here.
Sometimes mythology is meant to just be mythology.
Does it mean that is incorrect? It doesn't need its scientific
explanation. Sometimes tickets at face value.
I think we're getting a little bit of Dustin here.
I'm not disagreeing with you and she's going to look up at the
mountains and try to figure out. How like, what would take to
mind? He's bait suckers because that's
part of her best. All right, but go for that.
I just want a chunk, a hide to try and make new gloves out of.
Okay. So we'll we're actually what
we'll do is then because as much as I would love to keep going
and this box, so we will, we'll pick up here in three weeks for
us. Three weeks for you all.
And this, can I join me to roll to see if If I can skin, it will
start with that role next next time.
So I always loved conversations after a battle.
You never know exactly what you're going to get, right?
Thank you, as always for joining us on this adventure of
Cooperative storytelling. You will find all of our links
in the thingy of the show. The show notes, please.
If you like what, You're good. If if you like what you hear and
please share us if you listen to us on Apple greatest and review
us because that really does help other people find us and we do
want other people to find us because we want people to
understand. That DND is fun.
It is not always polished and it is just be you and who you are.
And we can have a really good time with it.
So, with that being said, though, everybody will see you
