Hello Fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara.
Through the campaign, many Polos.
Jesus, Craig. Fucking Craig.
I am back. Hither.
Oh no, I already changed that. Yep, the Hand of Fate tosses.
The dice rolls, spins, turns, A campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that become stories.
Stories flow out into the infinite sea, painting it with
legends. Legends wash up on the shores
throughout the infinite sea, fading to myth until myths are
forgotten and the campaign that gave it birth comes again and
again. The Hand of Fate tosses the dice
roll, spins, turn. Hitherto, we left the Shadow
Seekers in the fifth level of hell just after they had gained
access to the Acropolis. Having executed a plan
flawlessly with Zach, Mame, Franklin and Vomayra enter the
black void of a door into a near pitch black room with notable
piles and a clattering of bones. Franklin left behind some of his
cricket friends outside of the. Outside of said black hole door
with a hope they would return with some zombies following an
all nighter, he'd finished up an all nighter where he'd bargained
with the dwarves to build a prison inside the subdimensional
pocket Rocket One in their bedding with Zach with the rest
of the Shadow Seekers. Having been piled inside of the
aforementioned rock for safekeeping, let's find out what
happens this time. Also, there was a bit of an
inner mission there, but Ash, you were the only one that would
have experienced that brief intermission that felt like you
were falling asleep. Or rather, right before you're
falling asleep in that sensation of falling and you and you felt
that the next jolt as you woke yourself back awake and you're
you were inside of an A tower, which you found to be Ishamel's
tower, and you'd climbed it with Valmyra, Phelin and Mamet up
about 2 1/2 floors. You made it to the third floor
before you got eaten. By unknown large monster.
Something with a lot of teeth, because I remember making a
snarky comment about its teeth. Well, you feel yourself ladened
with a few new items in your inventory if you are looking
through there with a a note from Ishamel saying.
For your compliance, and as a thank you for participating in
the Tower of Ishamel, simply swallow an astral diamond before
a sleep returns to you and then it's just signed ish ish.
An astral diamond. Hole.
And some of the things you're realizing that are laden you
down are quite a quite a large amount of them it seems like.
Actual diamond trying to add this to my inventory.
What is a large amount? Ready, I added.
I didn't write that down. I put it in your inventory and
then forgot. Oh wait, are they already in
here? I don't have to put this in.
Yeah, it should be something that's in your inventory.
Same with the other stuff that should be already in there.
Let me see if I can go back and. OK.
Yeah, Astral Diamond 225. Yep.
No, no use. Should I update this?
You can personally because the note was left for whoever was
going to be here the last time, so no one else knows this.
It seems like the note only made it onto and.
What was the item that I gave you?
I thought it was really cool at the time.
I just don't remember what it is right now.
If you can find it. Walla one before falling asleep
to revisit the tower. Oh no, not the.
Yeah, that was the, that was the note I was asking about the
other items though that you received.
Wow, I can't spell. Words are hard.
Alright, updated. I do see way here, way up at the
top of my list. Vicious dagger of sacrifice.
That sounds about right. That sounds nice.
Very rare. Requires atonement.
Attunement. Atonement.
You must atone for your sacrifice.
I mean. This is the Evil campaign
requires attunement by a tunes after a natural 20 dice roll
with it. OK, so I just have to use it
until I roll A20 it's never gonna 7A twisted, doubleedged,
and pointed malevolent black blade with blood red leather
wrapped hilt. When you roll A20 on your attack
roll with this magic weapon, the target takes an extra 7 damage
of the weapons type. Well, Yep, all right, I'm just
gonna add this to my weapon belt.
By the way, I have a question not related to the game exactly.
Do we know? Do we have a list of who's
coming to the eurythmic veracity?
There should be right now. Anyways.
There is the channel for eurythmic veracity and I'd
started a poll way back when. Way at the top of that in July
it looks like and if you hover over that.
OK. Yeah, it looks like we've got 10
right now. That that it confirmed anyhow
and. Ohh it gives us like the first
four and then it says seven others.
So I'm like ohh thanks thanks computer.
OK, well I'll check that later just because me and gab are
working on crafts and stuff and I wanna know what to bring.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me know if you need any
crafting supplies from the natural world.
I'd like to prevent those. I mean, we've been looking into
doing a lot of that stuff because I've been like raiding
my mom's like 16 acres for stuff.
And I found some cool things, but nothing that we thought we
could use. Yeah, his Land's mostly rocks
because it used to be a straight line.
Rocks are pretty useful. I got a lot of.
I got a lot of trees and brush, so.
That would be more useful for our purposes, yeah.
Just let me know the since we're still waiting on the other
interjection that's going to be happening.
I guess right now you're seeing for yourself, Franklin.
It's really hard to see mommy on this map, but she's there, right
there from Myra's to they're both to your right and seem to
stand there and fright, you know, and not being able to see
because it's pretty dark inside of here.
Do you have dark vision? I do.
So. They're ask for at this point in
time. They don't have sight, they're
just asking what the Hell's going on.
And you see shambling shapes coming up from the these mounds
of bones not making much noise besides the clattering of
themselves. Clap my hands into light.
I'm so wait, where am I exactly? You just walk around.
Through a the door after opening it with Zach and his daughters
and you're in what looks like a large chamber, easily 30 foot in
height and another 40 feet, no 100 feet across.
So and there there seems to be some light coming from the other
end of the chamber from 2. Small 10 foot openings that are
arched, but otherwise you're ending pretty much in pitch
blackness and it's hard to pick out some of the details.
Even though you know you have dark vision, it's it's not like
crisp, clear day. Right, and I'm seeing around me.
Stuff kind of coming up out of the ground more.
Giant piles of bones that are coming and coalescing into
standing shapes on. By patch feet.
So as this happens, can I just do I have what I Let's see.
I'm gonna see if I just have like some sort of like burlap
sack for like. From our rations or something
like that and attempt to just walk up to one and then put it
in the back. Guys, there's skeletons over
here. We could use these.
Ohh yeah, you can't see Cadio. Shit, I am not that kind of
cleric. I don't have the ability to turn
the lights on. The Clapper.
Do you have a match? Is that something DRY?
Enough to light on fire. I mean, I would assume, let's
see if I have adventures pack, I have a torch.
So I guess I will light a torch and just kind of toss it down
into the center of the room and then proceed to try to sack up
one of these, uh, zombies. Well, uh, you lit as you're
lighting the torch. Go ahead and roll the
initiative, I guess. Hmm.
Ohh dear. Ohh no.
Um, right now you're especially too, with the torch being lit.
So I'm feeling generous, seeing only three skeletons.
Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bum nice.
I need to get to. I should have wrapped this up
too on the other screen first. Am I still in the pocket,
Rocket? You are.
It's gonna be fine. I'm a cleric and these are
undead. They're in for it.
He's gonna hug him to death. Listen, I get it.
I've been dead too. It's awful.
You just sit there and rot and nobody listens.
Here it is. I'll listen.
What if he befriends them by becoming kind of a therapist and
they're like, oh, he cares? Now get out of this case.
And they just do his bidding because he acted like he cared.
Right, that says so. That's what you guys are doing.
Actually, probably inside of the pocket rocket too, just to be
clear. Did you ever make it to the
Bedchambers, Flint? I don't remember.
I think he was left standing nude in the water playing with
crabs because I covered him in glitter.
Oh, the that one. Fine.
The other one. I'm rolled it too many times.
It's OK. But I thought you would lay down
in that tub after the fact too, because you were.
Being obstinate about going to the bed.
Chambers, after being glitter, bombed and didn't want that to
happen again. I don't know, cuz that was what
like two months ago? Was it?
That long? Yeah.
I haven't played in a long ass time.
You need to yell at Vince more. Often you're gonna be so wrinkly
in that tub. That's so pruny.
There's no water left, I just absorbed at all.
Well, wait, you're the you're the like sailor, right?
Yeah. So if I remember correctly, you
fell asleep in the hammocks on the 2nd floor because we then
went and took something from you later because we needed it.
I'm gonna pop over to that map real quick, but it looks like I
got a nine, a 21 and a 13. What was your role there?
Some of them weren't coming through a six, so it looks like
you're going last on. Ohh no.
That's fine. And you got the the torch that
you tossed onto the ground out, but I I would assume that you
would taken at least a step towards the one that's more
towards the center of the room. There's like a pile, a pile of
them there that stand that one's standing on top of and I guess
it's just out of shock. Swings the sword at you as
you're finishing throwing. The torch with a 23 to hit.
Ah, that will hit. With eight piercing.
Ow that's. And then the other two shamble
up to either side of you and. Hey, guys.
You dumbly like the first guy, are.
You gonna get in the bag? Jesus Christ.
This this, it's fucking rigged. They do have a + 4, but I guess
still 23 or 24 was 23 was the first one.
The 24 was a it was a crit. So.
Ohh or no? Yeah, besides that first eight
have 16 more coming at you got. It let me check something.
One Keeper, Nevermind. Another 16 on top of that.
All right. Ohh, geez.
Style it. All right, then it would be my
turn, right? Correct.
And they're just not really intelligently doing anything.
They were just kind of swinging with centrifugal force.
All right, I'm gonna use my interact with the object to pull
out the pocket rocket and some of the the poo tokens that we
have and then I'm gonna look at these guys and cast that level 2
command on two of them. So I need a wisdom save from
them, OK? And I will tell them.
Get it or enter and then hold out the pocket rocket and the
the poo things. What is yours of 15?
Yeah, DC. Yeah.
They both just kind of like stand up straight and start
walking towards the bags. Excellent.
Well, they try to, but. When you're talking about these
bags, this is something that I would wanna clarify here.
Where the heck are you getting like giant bags?
So I thought when you. Ohh how big are these things
these? Things are like normal human
size so far, so they're like like somewhere.
Around my intent on this gotcha. My intent on this command is to
have them enter the pocket rocket.
Ah. Or you get it like I take the
pocket rocket and three keys or a couple keys out, hold them out
and say enter. OK, so you.
Then I only have to deal with one and the other two are next
to the jail we built for them. Are going to roll me and
improvise, which I think is improvise.
It's an action. But it's I'm trying to see if
there's anything modifier wise describe an action.
You OK, just isn't the action to cast the the command.
Yeah, I. I'm I'm talking about how the
how it all goes over because you're taking the charm and
trying to put it on them. I would guess too in the process
of them, not really like reaching out and doing anything.
You already had the charm and bag in hand, and as they're
walking by, you're just trying to try to place it on them in
them. Or light a hand, You could that
work. You could try a sleight of hand
and if you. Wanted in case persuasion.
But I was. It wouldn't not be persuasion.
I would. I would.
I could go with. I could live with a sleight of
hand. The improvising was purely
something that I was trying to figure out how to.
I know it's a part of the rules, but seemed more gotcha.
Persuade them to. Put them in their.
Pocket. I already got to get into a bag.
Just get in all right. I'll do sleight of hand then.
If that works, sure, go ahead. Come on, Poppy.
Damn it. OK, now I've been danger.
Was that the for both of them? Because you're gonna do this.
Yeah, You're gonna do it twice. Figured one walks by, the other
walks by. Naddy 20, nice.
So the the first one walks by and you're like, you're like
trying to pin it on its chest, kind of like a badge in some of
its rags. But there's no real like pin or
anything. And it just keeps walking
towards the bag part as part of your command.
And you you end up like dropping it and it falls into its pelvis
area but doesn't quite go through the bottom portion of
it, of the pelvis. And you, the next thing you know
it's. Comfortable turning into a a a
steam of purple smoke and facts and figures in the air as it
flows into the purple rock. I mean the Into the Rock with
the purple smoke. Nice.
And the second, second one, I would assume you were like, OK,
I learned from that one, and you just immediately kind of grab
some of its decaying pieces there of cloth and just tie it
real tight with like a a simple bow knot before it poofs into
the. Hell yeah, into it.
That I will before I end my turn.
I face the last one that I in my torque message the others and
say, hey guys, I just let 2 zombies into the into the pocket
rocket. Could you guys put them in the
cell for me? They're probably gonna try to
bite you or hit you with their axes or whatever they're using.
Thanks. And that I will bounce back and
forth a little bit. So we're not spending too much
time in one place or the other. So because I think would be a
good time to wrap back around, I did go to the other map and say
seeing that you were still next to the water, at least your
character was fluent. OK, so I'm guessing you kind of
just like missed the beach and not only the the beach but also
the ocean and probably just like fell asleep on it and in the in
in the little shallows of the waves.
But you're probably being woken a little bit up again after you
dried off and everything that the waves were coming up and
hitting the bottoms of your boots, and then you hear over
your torque an odd message. Oh, good, I guess.
We could leave just the really long extended message for them.
Record the whole thing that's happening right now, Yeah.
I'll just hit report or leave the phone.
After you tap on it and ask if somebody's there, I can imagine
Flint being like like grunting and being like, who the hell is
this? Because he expects to hold your
Thomas. Through this and he's tired of
seeing Turtle bottle me worn in the back.
Is that me? Did I do something this was?
On the timeline is, yeah, I was gonna say they.
Were so confused and then those in a very very different
situation where they left that slip up.
But you guys were probably passed out, so I think the
message thing was more appropriate.
Honestly trying to figure out how to get it to.
You trying to play back like that?
An old passage, yeah. So anyone else?
That's what I was going to. I'd figured this particular
trick out. So this message is only going to
you, Flint. OK, that that would explain why
I'm confused as shit right now. It didn't begin or try to if
they're Frederick. Natural one.
I can hear it too. It's still playing for me.
Where's Rolson? Maybe it's gonna.
Like lean over, get up, walk over.
That I could try to figure out how to do was try to like mute
the website itself, but that didn't even work.
Somehow that still came through. I'm just gonna pause it for a
second cuz I yeah I can control the audio from my side and what
I did is drop the audio from the recording basically of what was
happening and you're you're you can go back and listen to it or
I can press play on it later. Here for you, but you're getting
a message from the other side, and it's basically the gist of
the the message you're you're you're picking up on and is
overhearing the rest of the crew over there talking to Loki
somehow and him explaining hell to you or to the group.
Rather, the group is talking to Loki and he's explaining it to
to them and had a message that was left for you on your torque.
You're like how the hell? What the hell?
And so the voicemail, I was, I was, I'm figuring too, what
would happen actually is like, you would have gotten the
message, The waves were waking up.
So you got the message from Franklin about the the
skeletons. You're like, oh, Gee, I guess I
should get up. And then you see like a
blinking, like shimmering and to one side of the torque and you
probably would have been like what that what what do I do with
this? And you press it or something
and it would start playing the message.
Yeah, I must have, like, spaced out or something for a second
there, because I had no clue what happened.
So I was just like, whoa, well shit, when did Georgie join in?
Yeah. All kinds of confusion.
I just I can see how the the disorientation was happening
too, especially whenever I would try to chime in in between the
audio, but then my voice would chime in again about something
completely else and then. You were talking to yourself,
literally. Yeah, when I look over at Jess
and she's just, her lips aren't moving and I hear her in my
heads and I'm like, what the fuck is happening?
That's probably, that's probably.
I slipped some stuff into your burrito, babe.
It's fine. Everything's fine.
That's probably exactly what would have happened to Flint,
too, Is just standing there, like real confused, listening to
these voices on the other side. Honestly, you might might even
roll me a perception to see how well you understood everything,
because I don't think they actually actually, inside of the
recording, mentioned Loki's name when I relistened to it.
I'm like they just have some dude talking in the background.
Don't say who he is or anything. I think I heard Loki mentioned
once. Maybe.
Oh yeah, unless you had said it. I did.
Just in the big at the end of that when I paused it there
because I was like, it's a message from Loki because I was
trying to figure out how some way to make this even plausible
at all. But yeah, that's not gonna work.
We should record. That voicemail message again
next time George Williams saw and be like hey we need you to
record this again when you're most professional Alexa voice
Yeah, because he did he did bomb at the at the beginning of it
there too with like a. The, the, the like voiceover of
the recording. Yeah.
Cannot answer the phone right now.
Yeah, that was really good. And then we all started giggling
in the background, and everyone did.
Yep. But yeah, so you're getting that
message as you're waking up, along with the confusion of the
skeleton message and ash, I'm just gonna, I did just move the
bookmark down to that area you're in.
I realized that at the very beginning there, Franklin.
I hadn't had the bookmark down there, so I don't know if you
can see everything that you need to.
I just I'm. Black square.
Yeah, I see a little. Like a a little room.
Yeah. That should be about belt right
for you. You've got.
Yeah, I got. So many people in the room, I
gotta turn your. That's what I gotta do.
I gotta turn your night vision on.
But while I'm doing that, I'm gonna move the bookmark.
Yep, just quickly over to the. Shift over, I just sent a bunch
of skeletons into the house. So yeah, at least I gave them
warning. Do you say, do you have your
radius for that? Let me look it up.
Pretty sure it's because I'm a total but ash you're hearing,
besides Franklin's alarm to you through the torque or waking up
and rubbing your eyes or whatnot, have you tell.
You can tell me. But you you're hearing just
through another hole at the end of the bed chamber, where you
vaguely remember some dwarves working on a on it, some
clanging and banging coming from it.
I. I'm gonna get up out of the bed
and I'm gonna turn around and I'm gonna wrap up my baby nice
and tight so they don't roll off the bed.
Hopefully they're not awake yet. Skew man this comes show in use.
So much I was. Looking at a black screen this
whole time and just. Damn, it was almost 16, eight.
You're you're able to to to get the blankets sort of shoved in
and tucked in around them the two heads that is Andyo and
easel and you you you get get them kind of pierogied into the
edge of the bed and you're like yeah good enough.
It's not quite the tuck that I'm used to, but walk, continue on
going on. Yep, I'm just gonna hop down off
the bed and start to cautiously walk towards the noise.
And I'm gonna ask Bob, I'm like, do you know what that is?
Because he's still a crocodile, right?
Yes, yes, he is. Did that noise, noise come
through? I'm not.
I wasn't actually looking. It did actually come through
that time I'm gonna cast Speak with Animals.
I see that you're able to understand me now.
Now well, my presumption would be, Madam mistress, that the the
skeletons have come that that necklace around your neck was
talking about. Ooh, the skeletons have come.
That's exciting. And I'm just like inching closer
and closer to the sound. They're not going to go directly
towards the door because I want to be safe, right?
I hear the sound coming from here or from here.
You hear it coming from where you first pinged.
OK, do I see anything? It doesn't look like I do.
Oh, you moved on top of the bed there for a second.
I was like, wait, where'd you go?
I'm not trying to move on top of the bed, I'm just trying to be
next to it. I got you, but I am using the
wrong keyboard and that's why this isn't working.
No worries. You're probably still trying to
use it as like a bit of a in between from you and the hole in
the wall I would guess like cover.
Yeah, just some space, some, yeah.
Light protection against whatever those skeletons that
are making that sound and you see through the whole a very
solid metal door That is obviously where the sound is
coming from and you hear Ting, Ting, Ting, Ting, Ting.
You know, not not many rhythm on purpose or anything either seems
like, but just something is apparently striking it.
You would guess just from the rhythm and sound that it's
making. OK, so they're safe behind the
door. For now.
Or are they? Is the door closed?
Very much so. You can see that it is closed
and barred from this side, and you're still looking down the
hallway at that, at that very closed door go.
Ahead. OK, so the doors right here?
Yep. And this is just open this these
four squares. Yep.
Is there's nothing right here? No, it's just a a carved in
entrance in the wall. It looks like that's rough hewn
through, and the walls themselves were fairly well made
in the bed chambers, at least of the of a wooden kind of
material. But as it goes on past that you
see metal being exposed. Even the walls of the of the
tunnel themselves are of some sort of heavy metal it seems
like. So.
There's just a door right here with some skeletons banging
against it, you presume? I can't see through it.
It's not bars, no. It is very much solid.
So is this hallway isn't where they're supposed to go right?
Where is it? I don't know if I should tell
you that because that would be meta gaming and I kind of want
to see what you do. We did build a little section
place for them and you might have seen it if you like, went
further into the map anywhere, but that's where she she is
currently and you're looking. You climb down the ladder from
the bed chambers and are on the kind of main level if you will,
looking up at the two mezzanine levels.
The one was that being the entrance that you were first
came in on, and the other being the off to the off to your if
you yeah, the side, the left and where you'd come in originally
is now bars from floor to ceiling on that mezzanine level.
OK, that's what these are, these poles.
Yeah, it looks very much like a cage of some sort was built into
the wall there so that it's overlooking the area.
And some of the stuff that was in that entry vestibule is now
shoved down onto the main floor. And as you're walking around
there to, it's almost as if they'd got maybe either gotten
or just at that point, or were maybe following you.
You don't know. You don't know.
You're suspicious though, as they let me do this.
Kelly, what was that viewing distance to that you had?
There. Frankly, I'm still trying to
find it, and I got it when I when I ate that giant frog's
eye. Ohh, that was.
Trying to find the damn thing. Ohh.
Is it just underwater? Yeah, I thought it increased it.
That was at least what I remembered.
I'm not sure I will have to try to find it, yeah.
I've been like searching through our chats but not sure where I
got posted. That's the beauty of the
recordings too. I always just go back and Yep,
here we go, shambling and inside you see or here, rather than
tripping over something as they get to the edge of the cage and
are clanging at at it, trying to come after you, just without
sound, wordlessly just hitting the bars with their sword.
That we have. I see we have new little
friends. So this door, right here, behind
them, this door is open. Yes, you seen them walking
through through a open caged or cell door so to say.
OK. I call for Bob and I'm like, hey
Bob, you should come here and you should ask us.
You should act as a nice distraction for these guys.
He gets to the ladder and just stares at you.
But. You can't climb ladders like
that. How'd you get up there?
There was a Not what you're looking.
There was a car, mistress. Oh, is it not there anymore?
No. Hmm.
Use the baby I. Mean.
We gotta make you say. Somehow, right as you're as
you're standing there to besides the friends that are apparently
sleeping in tubs down here, you You do hear somebody else
shuffling about inside the little pond.
Room, sea room, washroom, whatever you guys want.
To call it Hey, who's down? Who's down there in the
washroom? Boy.
Would you care to lend a hand? It's not coming through.
I'm clapping. That that's wonderful.
But can you do that right here, like right in this location,
while making eye contact with our two new friends?
Who's the new people here? Right here.
Well, look at that. We haven't named me yet.
Yeah, and I'm just gonna like slowly, kind of like.
Go back this way so I can go slam the door.
I'm actually gonna whisper that to let be like I'm gonna go
close the door to that cage. I could see through those bars,
but make sure those things stay in there, keep their attention
and I just slowly stroll back. And then once I get here, I just
start running booga booga booga. And I run through the store.
Oh, it's very solid. Go ahead and roll me a
performance, Flint, and ask You're going to roll me a
Stealth over here, boneheaded. 16 Very nice. 18 for for Flint
too, so they're very well distracted by your.
Name calling and clapping and other derogatory terms.
Probably all my keys above their head.
And you you hear the door just that's not coming through.
Ching, I have to. There it is.
I had to do it a little bit higher or lower pitch I guess,
but. This chord just thinks the sound
you make are noise, yeah? Anything above, I don't know,
probably like my normal talking voice pitch wise, yeah, should
probably fix that from a the door there, but you walked up to
it, the one door and threw the bolt.
There's like a bolt on your side on the bedroom side that holds
it into the wall so that it's very sturdy.
Anything that comes through, it could probably pretty much just.
Smack on it all day. Awesome loves dirty doors, but
I'm going to March back out and be like, all right, well, we
have zombies. I think those are zombies.
Skellingtons, I thought. I'm going to talk into the tour,
going to be like Franklin. Where'd you get these guys?
Are you out there? Are you in here?
No, I'm outside right now. There's one more I'm gonna get.
I'm gonna. You should watch out.
I'm gonna send this foot into here in a second.
They have little poop icons in them.
You need to get those back at some point.
Okay. Maybe just beat the bit to our
consciousness and then take their sword.
Maybe put them into like a box or something.
Is a 16 hit No. Nice?
Yeah, I'm a beefy boy. I'm just clangs clangs off of
your shell. Probably because he's right next
to you. Just and then it would be your
turn. I'm gonna do the same thing.
I'll cast command and try to send this one in.
So do command. It's a wisdom save and then I'll
need a sleight of hand, if I remember correctly.
Yep. Yeah, 10 did not beat that 15.
Hell yeah. So it just then stock upright
and nine starts marching towards the towards the sack, and that's
still better than that eight. So you go to pin it on the
thing, but it keeps walking, so you couldn't get the tie right
on on it with the one hand and it just like slips onto a rib.
Onto one of the edges of the ribs and just blow the purple
smoke into the rock. One more.
Come ahead, watch out. And I kind of look survey the
empty room and then just kind of clap my hands.
That's a job well done. Because you're.
As you're saying that, the piles rustle again of the bones pile.
Piles of bones rustle again, and it looks like three more zombies
claw their or beltons claw their way to the tops of the piles of
bones in the room. Hey guys, do you think we could
like? Close the door.
Oops. Hey guys, I could do this a
couple more times. Can I get a advantage of how
many? How many more zombies they tend
there seem to be in this room? Roll Wait, no, I'm going to roll
this three, it seems like. Three more, just these three or
three after that. Ohh, you mean after that?
You'd have to. Roll me some sort of Arkana or
something of that nature. Trying to understand the
situation. Sure.
Could I do perception or investigation or whatever you
whatever you want, you tell me. You're you're noticing at least,
that there's some sort of magical nature about these piles
of bones, in the sense that besides that they keep
clattering out more, there might be some soft glowing under the
pile. That you're that's cool.
And there's three main, three main.
Piles so interesting, interesting, and I don't
probably have that many more who symbols on me.
And the the piles are pretty thick with bones, so.
I mean, that's perfect. I'm gonna use my action as I see
this to. Will myself into the pocket,
rocket as it and turn to my. Vamaira and Mama, I would assume
or is still standing there. Like I can't see anything.
Oh yeah, Hey, will yourself into the pocket, Rocket.
You're surrounded by skeletons that are about to die.
They come with this is excellent, though you will
yourself into the pocket rocket. Just behind the last skeleton
that seems to be in the hallway still.
Hey bud, good. I need to put you down.
And you form up with him, just to slightly down the hallway,
and he turns slowly towards you, so it seems like you have a
chance to do something at least. OK.
I will. I will cast.
Oh boy. I turned.
We're going to be able to have a long rest.
I don't know. You definitely need one.
Yeah, I desperately need one. I'm going to cast Hold Person on
him. Well, no, actually, I will cast.
I'm gonna cast a sanctuary on myself and then just kind of
start like pushing him into the towards the room so big a big
bubble pops up around me. And so every time he tries to
attack me, he has to make Wisdom Savior lose.
His attack? Oh, OK.
And I just start shepherding him into the cut.
Go on, go on, come on. Poke him with a stick.
You walk up on him and he goes to swing his.
Doing his sword at you and just stops almost stock.
Stock still again here with it right at the bubble and then
just shuffles backwards. I continue pushing him to the
door and then open the door and then try to push him and Nope,
Nope. Stay back guys, stay back.
It's a 5 foot hallway of a big creature.
He's gonna roll two more times for.
The. Space that you shuffle him
through. Are you manhandling these
turtles? They start.
Yeah, skeletons. They skeletons.
It looks you like you get him right in the doorway then and
the door probably open I would guess before as he's trying to
as you as you're trying to close it on him.
He he strikes through the bubble the one time, the 17 it looks
like. That, that that misses. 17 No,
not that. Yeah, that wasn't to hit.
That wasn't to hit. Sorry.
That was the. Ohh 17 saves, yes.
Yeah, just clarifying. Yeah.
Jesus Christ, Take the Dice Away From Me 24.
That'll hurt. With that.
Jesus. Attend damage because it was a
crit as well. Jesus Christ.
Like you're at a little under half health now.
Yep. With that too, I would, I would
guess that he would probably got like a few cuts on your arms,
then probably each one of them are pretty bloody.
I'm trying to bring them in. There, that's OK.
One of my arms is made out of bone.
And what are you guys? And you close it on him or bone
brothers, well, he's trying to strike you through the bars and
you just step back. Boater brothers.
I call out to everyone on the torque.
Hey guys, I'm back inside. We talk.
Let's be in the game room, right?
All right, that sounds like fun. Meanwhile, from Myra and Mama
just slap up on a bed and say we're calling it here.
Total. Just gonna get some Z's?
Nope. That's totally cool.
I tuck them in, make them each a warm glass of milk, and take 15
minutes to read a bedtime story to them.
Portal milk. While he's doing that, I'm gonna
go back up here. Don't ask where it came from.
Just fondle. Just fondle and pet Bob and be
like, no, I missed you. Now I had a really long nap.
The milk is so chunky. I can't get through this door.
Yeah, I got you. I need to fix that for my.
I think that is a whole wall still from a a whatever the heck
dynamic lighting standpoint. Got it.
But yeah, I make my way down to the.
I guess the bar seems like the best meeting place, right?
Well, you got to walk past the two other people that are awake.
It looks like one's petting a crocodile.
Hey guys Ohh you're just right here.
I turned to the other people that I that I just put to sleep.
We should move out of this area so we don't keep them up.
All right, I'm gonna check on my baby real quick.
Are they still asleep? Um, no.
It looks like they're getting a little fussy, probably, and
probably hungry. Alright, I'll.
Just a two-month snap 2. Yeah, they're probably pretty
well rested. I'm gonna pick them up and then
wherever we're going, I'll just, uh I guess breastfeed them once
I get there. Good thing you got two tits for
a 2 headed dragon monster thing. Wow, I had a 2 headed dragon.
Damn. I don't know why it's a dragon.
Hi Bob. I give him a hug and then go
downstairs. Alright, so I stroll over to the
game room 'cause this is where we're gonna have a meeting.
Sure. Yeah.
So I don't know how much you guys remember, but we did.
We escaped that level of hell that was dice and.
Currently, and I pull out the other pocket rocket from Zach.
Zach and his siblings are in here.
I'm keeping them safe for now. I don't want to lose them just
in case we need them. Could we leave them inside?
This pocket rocket, so it's like.
Pocket rocket, Yeah, because Zach made all of these, so they
will all work together, so. I was gonna leave a mood here,
maybe in like a lead box so that we could control when they come
out, but right now we're we just entered in wherever the next
place that we're going is. And when I walked in, we're in a
small room about, you know, like 50 by 20 or something like that.
And there are three big piles of bones on the ground.
And those bones are all come into life slowly.
And I saw some cool magic aura, I do them.
So I think we should develop a system to figure out how to
knock these zombies out efficiently and get them into
that room over there. So that we could get to stuff
under them. Hmm.
And you said it's just a pile of bones to start with.
There's like 3 piles of bones and like, I don't know, when I
beat the first one, it seems like there was like a new wave
of them. So I don't know how many times
we have to do that. This is weirdly like a game.
They could funnel them in here, but they need those tokens to
enter. Yeah, they need the tokens and I
was commanding them to use the tokens to come in, so I don't
have that many more of those spells I have.
I could do like two more, so I could do like 4 skeletons.
Maybe if they fail they're saved, but otherwise we need to
knock them out the old fashioned way and maybe put them in
something so that we can transfer them in.
And I look at all these boxes and stuff.
So I yeah, we can get them in here if they have a really low
HP. Uhhuh.
But we just call like, you know, four.
Well, there's a good question, because I had the sanctuary
spell. Still, I love.
That'll probably disappear in a second, but that worked pretty
well. Yeah, because I could just we
could just push them. So do we have anything in here
that we could use, that we could, like, teleport out with,
like one of these big crates? Open it up and then just push
them into it, close it and then somebody takes it back inside.
That or we have to fight the zombies and knock them out and.
I could HM I could cast Minor Illusion inside of a large box
and then we just drag the box in here.
That's true. Ooh.
Yeah, so you cast Matter Illusion.
They would see like a person of there, but you'd have to be
there too, right? It works from a small distance
30. So maybe we need to poke like a
some eye holes in the back of the box so that you could see
and hide behind it. Yeah, we could do that.
Just a little crack in the wood would work.
Uh huh. OK, we.
Have a box big enough. There seem to be some pretty big
boxes over here and up here I was.
Gonna say we're just gonna go, we're just gonna dump a box out
on the floor and be like, alright, we're gonna fill this
with skeletons that might not. Right, get in.
If we made it small enough, we could put a skeleton inside like
a small box and mail it to our enemies.
Wait, are you Are we talking about boning a box?
I like the mailing a skeleton to our enemies.
I like that a lot. They'd never expect it, they'd
just open it up and boom, so well, Zabi would be better
'cause they'd bite 'em. But skeleton work too, if you
give them like a really sharp knife.
I even know a person who I would mail it to.
We've used the skeletons and we can get a cheaper shipping rate
smaller. That's true.
They reassemble themselves. So yeah.
Anyway, people like here. All right.
Yeah, let's empty one of these boxes.
Cool. I'm gonna real quick short rest
because I have been in Ted's paid.
All right, while I'm feed the baby, I'm gonna go shove some
food in my own mouth. You here, does it look like you
curl up under the table or have I Franklin?
Did I move myself here? Is this the table?
No, this is where you're standing on right now, because
there's OHH on it. Well, I gotta get on there.
Hi, I'm a short guy. Yeah, okay ohh.
I'll I'll go, I'll go swimming during my short rest.
Ah okay. And I'll just kind of like swim
around and turn to my Ferdinand and be like, do you think there
are any bugs in the ocean? We could turn this whole thing
into a terrarium. Lobsters are bugs I.
Was trying to remember. How you could eat lobster every
night. Do you have, did you have speak
with Animals too or was he just or.
No, that's right. You were picking up what he was
putting down in the sense that he was like using bug speech,
which which was like just movements and such.
Yeah, terpreting those movements as as a bit of a language.
I guess you would pick up on the fact that he would it would
totally agree with you about the lobsters and then also say he
would also try to like make a shrimp shape out of his body.
Blah, I'll send out my swarm underwater while I do this to
try to see if I can find some in here.
I don't know if there's anything living in here.
Ohh, there's plenty of things living and it seems like mostly
fish as the small, well moderately small crickets make
their way into the into the water.
Some of the smaller ones are first out into it and they are
at first probably largely sought after by the fish.
I didn't even know how. I was not expecting how to
handle this one today tonight. Whoops.
Fish What do What do I roll? Fish.
Probably like a a an acrobatics check for the swarm to not get
eaten by the fish. Or like a contested or category
fish trout. That's a fish.
That is a fish. What?
I'm pretty sure that's not the right This is not the right
place I need to be. I need to be here, so it didn't.
It took me to Forgotten Realms instead of like a stat.
Ah, fish suit. It's not quite what you want.
Monsters. Yeah.
This, this, this is gonna be definitely closer to a ah, nice
one, Dale. Quit there.
Is it? Yeah.
Carnivorous fish. Yeah, it's a carnivorous fish.
Like they're like a, Like a, like a.
Piranha Ohh bad guys. I should get a swarm of piranha,
but I guess that. Magic Flying piranha for now.
You tell me man. Ohh, yeah, that totally works.
Finally. Low roll there.
They're trying to get him at at him.
But the the crickets, just like are are almost half the size of
some of the fish that are coming towards it and they just pick
them with the back legs, the back off and all the fish start
scattering. Yeah.
Are those dire crickets? So they're large, yeah.
How comfy is that inside your shell?
Especially some of the bigger ones and some of the bigger ones
are making it a little crowded inside your shell.
But you tell me. But I would guess you're feeling
comfort by I'm feeling having some of those voids failed.
It probably feels like a nice squirmy worm warm hug.
Squirmy. 1. Hug like well, inside my shell
is kind of where I have like the colony, where they're making new
ones. I would think so.
I'm not sure they can do that yet, but.
Well, like as I, as I say, like they like I I kill off the small
ones to make like the jalapeno poppers.
So just thematically that, like that's where all the larvae are.
The rest of them would just kind of like, hang out on my
shoulders and, like, follow me around at this point, since
they've gotten so large. And Ferdinand is definitely
still the biggest of the bunch. And he's probably probably said
to you at this point, too, Can we eat those fish balls?
Yeah, you could probably. Some of them just don't eat all
of them, because I don't want to destroy the ecosystem here.
We gotta set the we gotta maintain the balance.
You know it's balance, boss. OK.
Well.
As an order, Cleric, that's that's my jam.
I do like jam. You got any jam?
I don't. Wait, hold on.
I think I could probably pull some shell jam out from the
back. That's what the boys were eating
the other night. OK, well if you want to, I have
the option two to bake jam from scratch.
So whatever you guys want in. The kitchen that sounds great
well I'm I'm probably gonna I'm I'm I'm I'm probably gonna set
up shop in here and he looks up at the large ceiling and he and
he he's I've got a I've got a a couple couple wives down in the
down in the bottom of shell there that that we're looking to
start the start the meeting process or process off early if
you don't mind me taking off for a short vacation here I could I
could leave you with the second in command and.
Further than that, you don't have to ask me to take vacation
for maternity leave. Please, I want to be a good
boss. Go ahead, take off.
I take out some. I don't know.
So I'll, I'll use my I'll use my magic clay hand ability to make
whatever their favorite foods are.
Take this to the business. Say hi for me.
Yeah, set up shop. Just make sure to that, like,
completely kill everything in a year.
Sweet, boss. All right, well, I'm leaving you
in pretty good hands here. You're gonna, you're gonna talk
to to think of another appropriate name here coming up
blank. Dorino, he's going to be, he's
going to, he's going to be taking over the show for a
little while all. Right.
Totally. Have fun.
Let me know when you have kids. I want to come and be all of
them, however big billions there are.
Ah, sweet thanks boss. And he just jumps off the back
of your show, or before he does that too, he just kind of like
makes a bunch of other noises and rubs his legs together down
inside from the outside of the shell into it to make it like
echo off of it to the inside. And the you feel a kind of
vibrating as they all storm out and he's like me and the ladies
are hanging headed off and you're like, oh player, before
he takes a whole herd of small wow, all our crickets with him
up the side of the wall. And cell phone mail or other
crisis and and then probably about 3/4 of the side of
Ferdinand Torino pops his head out.
And and let me know if you need anything boss.
Well, Will, welcome aboard. We're going to go get some
zombies, and they need your help with that at some point.
All clear. All right, I'll leave them.
I'm gonna have to get them a gift.
I'm so excited. That would be a grandpa.
Alright guys, see out of the short rest, I think.
What? Is the short rest like 1/2 hour?
No, it's. Like an hour that was like
somewhere, because I think a long rest, you know, is 8 hours.
Sure so. Short rest is a period of
downtime, at least one hour long, at least OK.
So whatever we want it to be, plus the time we have to take to
make this barrel trap. Yeah, I was going to say it can
go to up to 4 hours too, I think.
Yeah, I turn to the others and and I say 10.
It really sucks. It would have been nice to have
like, a corpse out of head, you know?
Why do we need a corpse on hand? Just easier to well, those
zombies like corpses, don't they?
Skeletons probably aren't interested in corpses.
What are skeletons attracted by sexy skeletons?
Sexy skeletons. Can we ask them?
Do they speak? No.
If they speak, I think skeletons like xylophone.
Ohh, that's probably true. Anyway, let's go get these other
guys. But first, should we sit here
from range and just knock these three out so that we can strip
them of their sword and take the poo tokens back?
Sure, Let's do that. Yeah.
I don't know. We probably don't have to roll
initiative on this because we're all just gonna be at range.
I missed that. Or wait, actually, hold on, I'll
turn to Torino. Hey, could you go get the poo
tokens from those guys? Ohh, yeah, sure boss.
I'm not gonna swim. I'm yeah, I'm get some of the
other people. And then he just rubs his legs
down behind your back and down in the shell.
You feel probably about yeah, let me just do a roll for it,
because why not? After having fed myself and fed
Ennio and Ethel, I grabbed whatever like homes the chicken
I can find and I'm feeding Bob right now.
Was Flint doing anything too? Going with the flow.
So you just kind of sat there and stayed at the wall for an
hour? Well, I mean, that's huge.
We're still knocking these guys out, Yeah.
No, I I was just clarifying. Because just support REST, yeah.
Ohh, give you an opportunity to to do something else there
before. Yep, the rest.
Imagine my clothes are dry by now.
Fucking better. But you're also moldy.
It was definitely a salt water, so you can feel it, the salt
sort of clinging to you pleasantly.
Wait, it assaulted me? Yeah, just a little bit though.
Just lately seasoned. No, I'm just gonna walk around
the rocket. So, trying to get familiar with
the place, stretch my legs from that nice big nap about
wrestling up food myself. You've probably seen Ash.
Then rummaging through one of the crates, the cold storage
crates. It seems like having found the
chicken, it, it sounded like you you found earlier there, yeah?
Upstairs when you found that. I don't know where you were.
Ohh so I don't remember you going through there.
She did it like real quick, so you may have just missed it
because she said she was going to get that and.
It was when you snuffed away. I'm sorry, and yeah, those two
off to the side of the bar, there are definitely both cold
storage, it seems like they seem to be.
One seems to be frozen and the other ones are all chilled.
And I think the chicken probably would have been frozen when
you're starting to fry it up in the pan, probably had to start
it on a low heat and blah blah blah.
But you probably finished in an hour.
I'm gonna look for some nice noodles.
Is there dry goods here? Under the bar?
You're seeing some dry goods along with some other mixing
stuff. Jerky.
Some noodles make a nice big fat ass pot of ramen, I bet.
That didn't come through. I said.
I imagine they had ramen back. Solid question.
When was ramen involved invented?
I know, like the instant ramen that we all know in love was
like, what? It's probably only like 50 years
old, but like ramen as a dish itself, started in China 1800s.
Ohh wow. Nice.
At least the first thing that popped up
next question When were noodles invented?
Shortly after flour? Yeah, pretty damn close. 4000
years ago around So. So noodles.
Noodles existed. Not quite the noodles we would
think of today, they they were made of wheat, so at least
there's that. Imagine it'd be more of like a
thick dumpling esque kind of thing.
Surprisingly, they had some thinner looking string string
stuff. Huh.
But anywho, so you probably would have found some noodles,
at least that that's for certain.
And you probably could have tried to create the first ramen
in this world. Something he remembers weirdly.
Yeah, yeah, you get a hankering as Flint from from from Johnny
for. For Ohh that'd be like a history
or a survival, cuz I've survived off ramen for many years in my
day. Go for go for survival, because
you'd have to find some of the ingredients throughout the bar
too. Salt chicken base ooh natural
20. So your your instincts are real
running running high because you just kind of start using your
nose, start feeling around you rustle some packages without
even knowing they're in there and you're like no that's
definitely not it And then you rustle another package and
you're like ohh yeah and you pull out a a bullying looking
cube that you kind of jog something.
You throw it in some boiling water as you go grab the grab
the noodles, set them to the side and start looking for some
toppings of such. And probably in the cooler you
find a find a a head of bok choy which hell I don't even know I
need to and probably some other like ohh that there's a good
one, one that probably strikes Flint's curiosity more than it
would Johnny. But it is a 100 year egg that's
been sitting in the back of the the cooler box for a while.
You're like I remember I'm using some egg in this.
This is like an egg. I don't know if it was black,
but yeah, we'll try it. And of course onion and probably
some. And amongst the other jars you
see some other brown sauce looking stuff that you you've
put into it and it turns out pretty Hardy and good.
Slurping away? Sure.
OK. We're good still Bach Chile was
3500 years ago. I don't know about the 100 year
egg thing though. I was just trying to get to
think on the fly. I mean, how old?
100 years ago. Rocket, maybe we just discovered
the first time. Cancel that.
That's made it around a whole like whole life cycle.
Why does this thing look like a police box?
Yeah, Nope. Darn 100 year eggs weren't a
thing yet. But yeah, it would have been
some hard boiled egg. I wonder if hard boiled eggs
were invented by then. You would figure you got boiling
water and eggs, right? Yeah, it's probably true.
One of the first. By the time we learned, as like
the human species, to cook meat on open fire.
We were boiling eggs. Yeah, boiling water wasn't too
far behind. Yeah, yeah, boiling food in the
water wasn't too far behind that.
Yeah, hard boiled eggs apparently, but not a not 100
year egg. So yeah, it was just the.
Regular boiled soup invented probably.
You gotta be around the same time that every other.
Yeah, I think. I think. 20,000 BC in a cave in
China has the first example of a Super Bowl.
How is everything coming from China?
I mean, they're one of the first civilizations.
I think we are. That's no one.
Yeah, from China. They like, they got to like a
certain point and then just sat there for like ever.
Cell phone. Yeah, that's, I don't know if
you've heard this saying or not, but it's like a historian saying
of don't Wake the Dragon. And it's referring to referring
to China and the sense of don't ever try to wrap them into like
a World War. Like, don't poke the bear.
Yeah, exactly. But no, that's I know ice cream
came from China too. It was a more recent thought of
or find of mine that was just like, what?
Anyways, so you're probably slurping up your noodles when
Franklin comes all the way and back through the halls to figure
out what to do next with these skeletons.
That smells good. There's plenty of.
What do you call this? I oh, the word was just there.
Think about a raw man. Raw.
Mad. Ha.
I like it. What about rope aid?
Isn't that a lettuce? When When was Romaine lettuce
discovered? Somebody else trying?
To anyway, it looks really good. Here, have a bowl.
Thank you. I sit and have a bowl as we
discuss our plans for the for the zombie thing.
Brick hot holes of that. That and I get the bed here.
Do you have anyone that you want to send the zombie in a box to?
They're flipped. Nobody that's alive anymore.
I look at the zombies in the cage.
That doesn't really mean a lot, considering a pretty sure we're
all dead. Ohh.
I've been dead for a long time, little man.
Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying.
Me too. That's a thought.
So we're in hell, yeah. And somebody else might be in
here that maybe Flint doesn't like.
Oh, maybe Franklin's dad and his dad are working together.
My father. Find them, fill them again.
I'm here to bless you. Come here, boy.
I. Couldn't even say it.
Bless you with the holy waters. It's not a sin, my child.
Oh my God. Anyway, should we go capture
ourselves a horde of zombies and put them in boxes?
Yeah, say our own prayer. Yeah.
So we're gonna need a couple boxes to be able to switch them
in and out, right? So we've got this, this one here
that looks pretty fortified. I was thinking that maybe
whoever's casting the illusion charm should be hiding in this
fortified box. And then these smaller wooden
boxes we could use as a trap boxes.
So the first fortified box that you're noting is the freezer
box. Ohh never mind.
Yeah, we better leave that. Yeah.
All right. Well, we have other box and just
any of the other boxes really. And then that way you'll be
protected. They're all in one box.
Pretty sturdy, probably hold up to a good bit, but they're still
only like 5 foot 5 by 5 foot cubes.
Just so you're aware of the size so that each kind of can fit one
skeleton or person. Maybe if they scrunch.
But if you're, you know, whacking them down to size, you
could probably fit a good bit. That's true.
All right, so we should bring these no matter what and maybe
set them up open on top of one of the the the skeleton piles so
that when it generates, it just generates into the box.
So we'll we can each take a box, but like we just will ourselves
back out there and be prepared. There are three more skeletons.
OK. But was there only one of these
boxes that was empty? Because these were like the food
boxes you were pointing at. These boxes here I think we're
gonna use, right? Yeah, yeah.
If that were you, you open each one of them to see they are
mostly haven't haven't been opened before and kind of
closed. They got a bit of a hinge and
handle on them right now that's a bit of, but that you can see
there are nails that kind of hold it in place usually.
And in the in the first one you're seeing about some like
padded armor, it looks like probably about nine sets of that
of some sort. The next one you're seeing a
good bit of clothing, probably stacked halfway full of just
random cloth, maybe some even actually spools of cloth.
And then the final one, you're you're seeing some?
Some other utility items of like just not only some thread, but
it it looks like there is at the bottom of it a a machine of some
sort and there's on and around it there is there's probably
some other yeah manufacturer not manufacturing.
That's not the right word. Like sewing equipment.
That's a sewing machine. Ohh, that's exciting.
I was. Trying to find a way to to say
it without saying it and I couldn't.
Detend and a loom, right? Not quite a.
Loom nothing for fabric making it seems like.
Just what were they called before they were sewing?
Called sewing machines hand were those hand crack like there's
the hand pedaled one or the the pedal.
Still called sewing machines, though, weren't they?
Yeah, I think so. Before it was just hand needle
and thread though. Yeah, everything was sewn by
hand. I was gonna say one of the cast
iron pedal ones. Gab has one of those that she
still sews with. That's still a machine.
Still working. Yeah.
Built to last. And we must Rage Against it.
Rage Against the sewing machine, take it out into a field and
beat it so. Might win.
It's cast iron. You know it wrong, so.
You guys just dumping all that shit on the ground?
Yeah. All right.
Somebody else can clean up this mess.
With all your fucking ramen. Know all the boxes, we just
dumped them all out. Well, we keep them all in this
nice. Equipment area.
I'm sure it's fine. It's fine.
I mean, I will shift the sewing machine to another location
because Franklin has many costumes he needs to sew
himself. Beautiful.
But once we get our boxes, I'll turn to the others and be like,
Oh yeah, so Plaid we go, there we go, there we try to what?
Cut the zombies down to size? Maybe use a blunt object or
blunt attack? Nothing.
What about a crocodile? That would work really well,
yeah. How long does the Speak with
Animals last? Again, 10 minutes.
Yeah, it's only 10 minutes. Yeah.
How did you leave Bob up in the up there too?
Yeah, like, I ran up there and I fed him food, but.
He said he can't come down and I don't know how to get him down
without the cart cuz I mean like I can't carry him and I don't.
You should give him one of the tokens, then you can just will
himself out and then back in. I had thought about that because
he is a companion and essentially his body is actually
a skull and he's just temporarily in the croc.
Would that mean we gave Bob the token to get in or the Crocs the
token to get in? That's be tough to find out.
Yeah, I'm gonna leave this to the fuck around and find out.
Rule I. Was gonna say cuz I know he got
in here just with me last time, so then you could go up there
and just bring him out with you, right?
Yeah, that's what I figured, and that's what I would do.
And I guess I'll grab another box, since you're gonna grab
him. But I kneel down and I just
like, look Bob in his little crocodile eyes and I'm like,
hey, do you want to go beat down some skeletons so that we can
drag him in here? You see a reddish glint coming
from his eyes. She can only assume with the as
a scent. Bob's a little bloodthirsty.
Too bad these guys don't have any blood.
I was like, all right, let's do this.
I am. I'm gonna open up this chest
that had a bunch of clothes in it and I'm going to swaddle
easel and annual into the blanket from the bed I was
sleeping on and just put them down in that chest as if it were
like a cradle. Oh, OK.
I see. After the after you've you're
you're probably like while you were talking about the plan with
Flint and Franklin there, you're probably like burping them after
you'd fed them there for an hour.
Yep. Just doing, Mommy doing.
He's like, all right, yeah, we're gonna beat down some
skeletons. I got that.
Just patting a baby. Go ahead and rank your mothering
skill up one point and roll that for me after that.
Wait, how do I edit this skill that I already have?
Ohh, there we go. Wait did that work?
Ohh, I just set it to 1. Suck at this.
No worries. There we go.
Ohh, that was not it. I don't even know what I just
rolled. Perception, Perception.
I'm very aware of what's going on.
Yeah, you are. Aha 22.
Feels very good. Somehow you're able to manage to
set them up in the chest and took the blankets off of there
and the silky blankets seemed to somehow take into the non
friction element of the clothes that are inside and it's slowly
rocks. Maybe there's some sort of water
clothing below, you're not sure it it sort of rocks the baby and
it keeps in the both ennio and easeless heads asleep after
they're burping that they both loudly.
Ohh, we're going baby. I'm gonna have to investigate
this clothing chest later, but I set them to it and then I'm
like, alright Bob, let's go get some skeletons.
And you grab a thigh of Bob's builder flank and will
yourselves out along with everybody else.
I would guess who's Franklin's got 2 chests and Flint's got a
chest. Yes, Yep.
They might not be at exactly those looking chests, but
they'll be close to goddamn well enough.
That's fine. Chest is chest.
Or. They're, we keep calling them
chess, don't we? But they're more of like a
great, great, great. Yeah, that's the word I was
looking for. And I got a place you guys
priced the purple smoke flows out of the rock and you guys
take shape in a room that is largely dark probably.
Almost. Does either of you have dark
vision? I do not.
If I do, don't, yeah, I don't then.
So I still needed that torch that I had originally used.
I don't know if I do or not. Nope.
No, I'll stop it. I need to get myself a pair of
goggles filled with water. You guys see that torch?
I see it. OK, so yeah, there's still a
slight burning torch on the ground, but then there is a
there were let me just do something else here, some piles
of stuff on the ground, but now it's just all the zombies.
One large skeleton that is formed from all of the other
skeletons on the ground as taking their place.
That's even better. And it's easily in the 30 foot
chamber standing a good Let's see here what's someone was
shopping. At Home Depot. 1515 foot or so,
and he just looks at the purple smoke that's accused in the
space. He probably can't see very well,
but heard the sound of and it's starting to raise a giant
looking sort of sorts. That a class charm person, Yes.
Does it work if they don't have a heart?
It says a humanoid OK is Skellington humanoid?
I'm assuming that's a wisdom. Yeah, they have to make them
Wisdom saving throw of 15. You attempt to charm a humanoid
you can see within range. They've got -2, so that'd be a
13 this skeleton. How are you charming them?
Sorry, I should have asked that about the other ones too, but.
So I see them like coming towards us and like raising up
their weapon and I just like throw a wind hand up and I call
out to them and I'm like, oh great, powerful creature, it is
so nice to finally meet you. It's these you as a friend as to
what I understand, it cannot make a noise because it has no
vocal cords or means to do so other than it clacks its jaw a
couple times when its teeth. Together, which is actually a
formation. It look you're you're realizing
in the torch light that's flickering as you're staring at
it, and it stopped its movement, a form of a couple jaws being
placed together so there's easily over 100 teeth in in its
mouth of other creatures teeth. There were some of which are
humans, some are not. Wow.
Clacks its jaw together and then it hangs loosely there for a
second, like. And.
I just continue and I was like, I have heard of your great power
and I am so glad that I am able to see it in person.
Would you like to join me in my abode?
Keeps staring at you. It slowly starts to lower the
weapon, but not in an attacking manner, but more towards its
side, asking if it wants to bone and.
That's what I say I was like would.
You like to bone? And I kind of just like, flare
my eyebrows a little bit like, eh?
Gee, I take out one of the poop symbols.
This is use this to get up inside.
And I just like without taking my eyes off the creature.
Just take the little poop turn, Franklin.
This guy's going to be awesome. We could care about.
Maybe put a saddle on him? Hope that was the wrong one even
what's happened when I have too many tabs open.
Ohh no still didn't. OK, I need to get the spell
Speak with that now. So it just stares at you very
dumbly and kind of like rugs its shoulders.
I I walk up to it still. Holding my empty hand out in
front of me like towards it. As ingredient.
And I've got the other like poop, charm, like kind of like
hidden, not obvious at my side. I'm just like come back with me
to my abode and we can have a good time.
I don't know what skeleton to consider a good time, but I'm
trying to be as charming as possible about it.
This child, we have xylophones. That's what he said earlier they
liked. I mentioned I'm like, we have
lovely musical instruments you might like to play.
It stares at you for a second and then switches hands that it
had the weapon and and sticks out its hand towards you, easily
engulfing your entire body because you're only four foot
right. Yeah, I'm 4 foot 3 inches.
Yeah, it's 15 feet. In total height.
So it's maybe not quite your entire body with like just the
palm, but you know the the fingers start to would start to
clasp around you easily like a real life King Kong.
All right, moment. I maintain composure as it grabs
me couple of times up. And I just take the little poop
charm and I kind of like, tie it in a little bow around.
It's, uh, one of its wrist bones.
Because I'm guessing there's like not just one giant wrist
bone, but a couple of things making wrist bones.
Yeah, yeah. There's a couple bones in there.
And I just tie it around its wrist and I'm like, this is for
you, so that we can go to my home.
So that we can have the nice conversation and play musical
instruments. And I do this while like
maintaining eye contact and a big smile.
It doesn't doesn't seem to get it because it's still just
standing there and shaking its head and bringing you up to up
to its chest almost protectively all cast command on it and tell
it to enter. I'm gonna say, does he get
advantage because it's already charmed.
No. He does get advantage though,
because he is at resistance and I forgot that earlier.
That's why I rerolled that other one.
But it still worked. And it still didn't work because
a 15 is what I need for that and it did not get it, especially
not with a -2. So it it heeds the command, it
stands stock still and then ash. Go ahead and roll me a deck save
because you're at least five feet off the ground.
And you're on the four feet. Nice.
So you? Yeah, You wanna tell me how you
succeed as the creature poofs into smoke?
Into the rock. As it falls to the ground, I
just managed to like catch myself on my feet and kind of
just like roll up standing right in front of Flint and Franklin
and I'm just like, it's done now how do we get back in there?
I clap. Well, we'll have to teleport
back end, so we'll have to have a plan for when we get in there,
because he'll be there. He should still be.
Unless the switching of planes affects that, because I don't
know. You could go in and like, charm
him into the other room, but I don't know if he'll fit through
the door like how big he is. He is very big.
He's probably smooshed in that tunnel right now, just laying
down. That's true.
That tunnel's not very. Anyway, I'm gonna investigate
where those piles of bones were to see if I can find what the
Arkana signature was. I assume the room is now empty.
Great job everyone. Woohoo, great success.
Yeah, for the most part you're seeing that the.
The ruins under it are glowing roots that have been grown
through the stone into a shape of a skull underneath of it.
Now that the bones have all had had been all coalesced into that
giant creature that you would just moved into of the on the
rocket, I see your combat and I step around it.
Yeah, that's beautiful. I love it.
Yeah. No, that's cool.
Turn to the others. What are we want to do?
If need be, we can run like hell.
There is currently in front of you in the room, the torch still
laying on the ground with three skull.
Shapes in the grown of roots in those vicinities with as you're
as you're getting your bearings now too.
You see the walls are made largely up of compacted crushed
bones and other wonders wonder wondrous things of that sort of
nature. And at the end of the hallway
from the pitch black doorway that you came in from.
Actually more it's more of a Great Hall.
It seems like our two directions, 1 to the left and
one to the right of a very bulbous rounded wall, and the
right side has the green tile and the left side has a red
tile. Otherwise, there is a soft
glowing light in the both directions that seems to be
emanating from almost all directions.
Examining the wall and this root, can I try to chip a little
bit of bone off the walls and place it on the root?
Yeah, I'm wondering if this thing is like out of magic or it
just needs bone to like turn into stuff.
Did you put it on the glowing like skull symbols that's in the
root is what you mean? Or did you put it like in the in
the larger green root that's just kind of going in between
the stone floor that you've been walking on, the skull symbols I
think where the those were the locations that the the
Skellingtons were growing from, right?
Yeah, yeah. So I'll place it on there, just
like a little Shard. We'll see if this all add a
bits. Yeah, I don't have just like a
skull that I could place there. Ohh wait.
Maybe I do, because if so, we should totally take and these
with us. You place the bone chip on the
skull symbol on the ground. Ohh this kind of.
Looks ominous. Whoa.
Wow. Here we go.
That'll be more appropriate so you can get some idea of where
they are and come on. There it is, and it starts to
get a soft bluish glow. That's similar to the the glow
that's coming off the roots which are green otherwise, and
the the the the the root or rather the bone chip starts to
kind of like vibrate in your hand and like kind of hover
there. But otherwise is innate.
As far as smash it with a hammer, yeah so pretty sure
these things are still active. Can I make a nature check to or
investigation or perception or something to I want to see?
Probably want to do another these these OK, these are these
are skull like skulls made out of roots right?
Yes, OK, I've got myself. Dude.
What do you guys think? I'm thinking maybe if we can get
these things up working, we could make an infant amount of
skeletons. All we have to do is kill people
or that or like go find a. Ohh, no, that's the guiding
sorry. Yeah.
So it's 15. Or go find like a cemetery, you
know? OK.
Please explain this plan to me again.
I was logging out of work. I'm all done.
Ohh yeah. So these and I'll point at the
roots that look like, like, look like skulls seem to have the
power to turd regular bowed. And I point to the pile of bone
powder that I've got from the wall it to skelling tits.
That's that's why that's how they work.
So I was thinking we could just take these if if we could pick
them up without them losing power and then we just have like
a skeleton machine. OK, let's pick one up and see
what happens. I just rolled our car, So we're
going to wait for God to tell us what we know about these.
So you're quite sure, at least Franklin, from just looking at
the thing of your own assertation, that?
They are related to the continual summoning of the
skeletons. You're wondering though, it it
seems like they have like the root structure as you're looking
at it, go off under the walls and out somewhere else and
wonder exactly whether or not this is more of a.
A fruit body, so to say, of the plant that seems to be making
them, or a interesting seed, or or or ryzone.
That's the word, which is Ryzone.
Yeah, it's like a it's like a root seed.
You can take a root and then plant it like a like a potato,
huh. And then I'll grow a plant.
That's cool. I'll take out.
I'll take out my knife and try to try to pop one off.
Light of hand? I don't know.
All right, guidance, because guidance is amazing.
So 19. Lint and ash are sitting there
for. A goodly time, probably very
bored while they're trying to make the decision.
Or left or right around the end of this as you slowly carve your
way around the the, the, the skull and the root.
Trying not to, you know. Nick.
I'm. I I'm.
Intently watching Franklin. Yeah, I'm intrigued.
I am just so ready to see what happens.
You're that will that will decide where I go.
You're able to carve around the whole skull.
It does seem though as if the blue glowing as dissipated from
the root root structure as you carved it off, but it it looks
like a skull. Great.
I will take some of the soil from around it, alternatively
the others. I don't know what this grows
yet, but now we can make it seems fine, right?
It's just a skull tree. Yeah, how?
How big is it? Like, is it?
Is it about as big as your body compared to like how big it is
on the map? Yeah, it's probably about as big
as. So it's a skull tree.
Okay. I say we take it's a it's a
skull tree like node or it like seed it seems like.
Okay, we'll grab one of the crates you guys brought in,
scoop as much dirt into it as you can, and add in this thing
to the dirt in the crate. But if we want to, we could take
the other two as well. Just we'll just have to stay
here for like another half second.
But we have the ability to simply Fast forward.
Anyone else gonna help Franklin? You hear that, dungeon?
We're just gonna take everything.
It's not nailed down. We're taking it.
If we can dig it out of the floor, that doesn't count as
being nailed down. Yeah, honestly, selling.
Honestly, in our in that world, I think vintage furniture
salesman, like vintage stores, should just be adventurers.
Adventurers who realize that there's more it's it's more
economical to just take everything and sell it.
Eventually this will be worth something as you.
Well then I guess if Flint and Ash are both helping, you
probably get almost all the way through and you're like this is
working and you're they both go OK and they start trying to
carve up the other ones. So yeah, go ahead and both roll
me a sleight of hand. I will help end guidance as
well. I have a good slide ahead, so
here's hoping. Oh, Flint does too.
I'd say it's an AD with guidance though.
Oh, it's a D4. You can roll it E or Flint.
Flint. Yeah, he's got it 15.
Seems to come up with a little bit of trouble at the end with
some of the smaller roots, but you you get the get a hold of it
out of the floor. Does anything does.
It look like it's stressed. It still looks like it still
looks like a skull, and it's still holding a slight blue glow
to it, but it is much less than it what it was or.
Or it's roots, just like normal roots?
Or is it like kind of like Bony like like miniature spines
almost? There are some roots that look
like bones, and there's some seaweed that looks like bones
too. Yeah, I would say that it that
looks like a spine, not like that.
It it is much more. Just weirdly flexible bones.
Yeah. Cart, cart, cart.
Cartana. Laginous.
Is that the right terminology? Yeah, for teleologist, I don't
know. Heart and allegedness.
That's some big words here, country boy.
Yeah, me too. And I never even went to school.
So Ash, you're going to roll that slide of hand or?
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
No worries, Got. It 18.
You can roll a D4 on top of that if you want, because I think
Franklin was standing behind each of you and slapping you on
the booty and go team. Nice.
You you carve around it and you
get a bit of a top of what looks like a spinal cord is still
attached to the skull. That is, you assume only a
portion of the taproot that was forming it.
Oh bad. A little terrarium is gonna be
so cool with these three destres.
I've been wondering when the mango tree idea was gonna come
back around 2:00. Yeah, I know, because we need
like to plant them. I suppose we could just steal
soil from anywhere and just start growing them.
But we don't have sunlight inside the pocket rocket.
There is an ever present light that is from.
Adjacent. Yeah, from the fairy lights,
they're like little tiny Suns all throughout the space.
Sounds like we need to hire an arborist arborist to take care
of our our trees. I wish I could afford one of
those. I mean, anyways, right?
All right. Having successfully picked up
these three and I guess put them into the three crates that we
got. Yeah, with dirt.
Which also worked out well. Crates of dirt, Yeah.
Worked out perfectly. She could just always carry
around. Crates apparently, right?
Yeah. I really like to carry around
cages unless there's if if there's something I want to cap
here are. You taking them back?
The crates back into the rocket. Well, if we do that immediately,
we're gonna be, we're gonna have three crates with the giant
skeleton, so. Yeah, we should take care of the
skeleton first. Yeah, I agree.
How do we want to do that? I could cast.
I could cast Sanctuary again, but only on one person and you
could kind of force them in. But I don't know if we can do
that with such a big one. Feels like this big one.
We need to kind of like beat down the like package up, right?
Ooh, we can I have turn on dead. Turn on dead.
We could open the door. I teleport in at the front
entry. Turn on dead.
He gets frightened, runs away into the.
Runs away from you specifically, correct.
Yeah. Into the into the other room
where we just closed the door. OK, if we think he can fit
through that door. I mean, I guess we should go and
see or at least one of us should go and see, right?
I guess it'll be me, since I charmed him and he seemed like
he liked it. That's true.
That's. Still going on.
So do you want to go? Again, right?
I mean, you did just finish a long rest and as long as you
have to spell slots. The quick question I had there
is because you didn't send it into chat, so I without jumping
over to your character sheet, do you see how long that lasts?
It lasts for one hour. Hey, then I would say that it
has not been more, it's probably actually sorry, no, you guys
carved up the roof. Roots It's probably been about
an hour. Yeah, it might have been.
So I don't actually think I've ever sent a spell through the
chat successfully. I just.
I just read them out to you because I've never done it
right. How does one do this correctly?
If you have the spell up like on the side of your screen there
there is a There should be a little B labeled dice that says
cast to VTT. And then just under that there
should be a display in VTT. Ohh I just clicked it and then
it like closed the side panel. So you'll have to bring up the
spell again and then look under the cast On Vtt, there's a
display. There you go.
Yeah, that worked. There we go.
Nice. Yeah because the then that'll
give me the description rather than your DC and potentially
damaged depending upon the spell and all that jazz.
But yeah so that I would I would say it's probably been an hour.
Yep. And you've got looks like, I
don't know what spell level you cast that first one, even at.
I only cast it as a first level spell.
Ohh dear. Actually, did I count it because
I cast speak with? Animals, Yeah, looks like OK.
Yeah, so OK, so I still have two first level spells left. 33
Yeah, you got the other spell spots.
OK, I turned it on like I'm gonna, I'm gonna well myself
through. And if he's still not charmed, I
will. Charm him again That do what?
Ask him to enter that room very politely.
Actually, I don't know. Does that work?
Because it says they are charmed by me, but it doesn't say they
follow orders. As you guys are talking, the
torch starts sputtering out. Light a new torch.
Throw another torch on the ground then.
I pull out of candle. If you need, I can cast
daylight. Ohh, that would be much more
helpful. I mean, daylight's a huge spell
though, isn't it? It's a 60 foot range, sure, but
like we're in a 15 foot room, no.
Five, 10/15/20. Four.
What about? What about I can cast light on
something and it gets a 20 foot? Yeah, light would be perfect
because that's a can trip. All right, I will pick up just a
little a Pebble off of the ground here.
Cast light rock. Well, I clicked. 20 foot.
I think that's what this is too. Yeah.
Yeah, it's 20 foot. So where'd you go?
We're here in the middle of the Stoney.
Ohh OK there's a bunch of shit on my screen.
So the deck there is where it's moved to the light source in the
room. I mean, somehow that still
manages to cover more than the entire room.
Anyways, I'll. Just accept it should.
If I'd have cast daylight, we'd all be blind.
Or Yep. Plus, it will probably be bad
for our new plant boys. Yeah, that's pry.
So, Ash, are you willing yourself back into the pocket
rocket currently, or have I misinterpreted?
I'm going to will myself back into the pocket rocket.
OK, I hope this goes well. Fingers crossed.
Boy, yeah. And we should We should
definitely go there first before we decide how long this is.
So come on screen. You can say I am centered on
Mama's character. Alright, so when you we will
ourselves back into the pocket rocket, do we appear in the main
entrance? Correct.
In stupidly. All right, so I appear in the
main entrance. What do I?
See the five foot by like 8 foot hallway crowded with
amalgamation of bones. Are they solidified into a
shape? As much as they can be, it seems
to be that they're kind of they were sort of sliding away from
you as you entered in, so there is just enough space for you to
stand currently. But they were sliding towards
the noise, which was the skeletons at the end of the room
that were clanging against their bars, but as probably now that
you stepped into its reach. Started moving back towards you.
And I'm just gonna have to draw a square because I don't even I
don't. Yeah, I was gonna say it's.
A very neat. Thing you're describing.
Yeah, I don't have any good token here right now.
It's probably, it's very, it's moving extremely slowly too.
It's like not even a foot a minute.
It's. Trying to squeeze through the
the hole. I'm going to attempt to cast
Charm Person again, all right, and it must make a Wisdom saving
throw of 15. Wheelsdom It did not.
That was a three. All right.
It is charmed and. Again, I'm going to greet it.
I'm like, oh, great creature, I'm so sorry.
I forgot that your greatness could not fit into our tiny,
minuscule hallway. I say this holding my hand over
my heart and looking sad and remorseful.
Stops. It's slow, barely even crawl
because it was floor to ceiling and wall to wall, bones
clattering towards you and just kind of clatters in the
response. I point behind him and I'm like,
if you go through that door there, there is much more room
for you to move around in. And I think my friends also
found some of your companions and also invited them over and
they may be in there and you guys can all meet and greet and
I will get us some tea and scones and we'll have a lovely
time. It doesn't do anything but
continues to clatter. Presumably in some sort of
speech pattern. It seems like 'cause there is
some definite distinctness to it, but you cannot pick it out.
I can't pick it out. Correct.
Need to speak with dad about. I'll speak.
Unheard heart. Heart that Bob would be be able
to talk to him. I don't know if being a flying
skull. Are.
Well, if you teleport in with him, he would appear at the
entry, would he not? Yeah, cuz he was supposed to
teleport out with me, but I didn't see him on the other map.
Ah, I apologize. Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was
just because the token, his token got left behind or because
he didn't. It was just a token thing.
Yeah, so. Presumably then you would have
just petted Bob on the head too after the fact, and poofed back
in with him, so. He OK?
Certainly. Me and Bob and the skeleton are
in here, and I turned to Bob and I'm like, do you know what he's
saying? And he pokes his head out
between your legs because there's literally no other room
in the corridor. And you said, speak with
animals, so he goes, mistress. I'm pretty sure that he's trying
to. To say that he can't open the
door, he has no real means to move without crushing you and me
currently. And I.
I only say he because it it is is very unclear anyways.
I kind of, like leaned down towards Bob and I whispered to
him, like, should I go open the door?
You think that's wise? I don't know if that's wise, if
I get between him and other skeletons.
I. Honestly, don't know if you
could, mistress. Although I I hesitate to say
this only because I I don't enjoy so much being in my
natural or rather Scully form, as you know.
Because the the the rest of the world has so many more
sensations to offer. But I I could potentially and I
I say this with much, much love and the idea that you will
hopefully get me a new body here in the ever present future.
But. As.
You. Still have my skull.
And he kind of uses his nuzzle to point up to the skull that's
hanging off the side of your belt.
And says I could come back into that just as you know at any
time, and the perhaps you know, take the mind of this creature
over there as as they are charmed by you and more than
willing to. Work out your will, and then I'd
be able to, you know, reshape the form of it more easily to
open the door and squeeze my bulk in there.
However, I would, I'd very much prefer if you could, you know,
remove me from its mass after that.
So this sounds like a really good idea, but you say remove
you from its mass. Will you be trapped in there?
I My skull will have to be attached to the skeleton
creature. But I thought, Bob.
This is a kinetic game in question, but I thought Bob
could take over the form of any creature without a like high
enough intelligence. Because that's how we got him
into the troll, wasn't it? I charmed the troll, and then he
took the troll's body. Yeah, you're right.
So I think that I think, I think you're you're more than right in
there. I think he may have been
overthinking it in the in the idea of the fact that he's also
a skeleton. But if he's willing, if he's
only willing to do this if I find him another body to take
besides the alligator, I am willing to do this.
Yes, I would. I would very much prefer that a
new body sooner rather than later, so.
That is my my stipulation. All.
I will do that. I will definitely help you find
a new body if you get the skeleton and its mass into that
cage. Wait, what do we do with the
alligator as soon as you leave? And it's gonna attack me?
Oh, I've pretty much annihilated most of its mind.
It'll just stand here mindlessly.
I hope that it's not a problem. Poor creature.
Nope, that's fine. It had it.
Didn't have much of itself to exist in here besides Eat, Sleep
and Fuck, which are great things, but you know.
You need more than that. Yeah, well not really, but that
just seems to happen with this my mind, unfortunately same.
All right, yes, let's do this. I am going to get a dagger out,
like without letting the other creature notice the skeleton
creature notice, just in case the croc decides that it wants
to take a bite out of me. All right, so Bob's red light
shines behind the crocodile's eyes and then beams into the
skeleton and, well, massive bones.
That's filling the hallway. And you see it start to inch
towards the door and you hear it.
Or actually it starts to squeeze up tightly against you towards
and pushing you towards the and the crocodile back towards the
portal that's at the end of the hallway allowing you into the
space. And it you hear a creaking of
the door as you just get up onto the portal.
And the other skeletons start rattling about as the mass of
bones start to just squeeze its way into the other room and
doesn't quite take shape on the other side.
But it is definitely a it seems to have absorbed the other three
skeletons that are in there. Ohh.
And it's probably just a pile of wriggling bones it.
With the top of which reaching up at 13 feet or 15 feet which
which which was the height of the skeleton before being in the
hallway. But it doesn't seem to take any
real shape before Bob streams back into the crocodile that
just lumbers around behind you. I make sure the door is closed
and that all of the bones are trapped in there and I was like,
good job, that was fantastic. And I start to walk towards him
and just like, give him a nice pat on the head.
And I was like, alright, what kind of body do you want?
Do you want a humanoid body? Do you want a big bird?
What do you want? And I'm just like, Oh yeah.
Thanks Mysteries. I would very much like Humanoid
Body. This much much more
satisfactory. I think it would be like putting
on an old tshirt that. You, you.
You'd fit it just for your body, you know?
I think it'll be nice. Alright, I will do that.
I will get you a humanoid body and I attempt to back us up and
I fall through my torque. I'm like guys, it's taken care
of. We did it.
We have a giant pile of bones in our cage room right now.
Awesome. We'll bring in the the death,
the death tree seeds, and then we'll get those set up.
But then we I guess either need to contemplate the door over the
week or make our decision now we know nothing about anything
about this room. Yeah left we didn't really luck
we're. Left or right is all you'd
found, unless you're doing some more investigations in the
meantime while Ash was doing that.
If I have my swarm with me. I would have them go try to
check it out by like crawling on the ceiling versus on the ground
for the wolves. Stealthy bug surveillance.
I love it. I figure the tiles are colored
so don't wanna like get whoever's house this is dirty.
You send them both down, both, both quarters, then I missed
that. Yeah, I mean, I would send them
down one, get the scoop, then send them down the other.
OK, any particular direction first?
Uh, let's see Edie body bow catch a tiger by his toe or
catch a scallop by his toe if you if you catch a blood of.
Go Eadie, Beadie by D but left. Perfect decision making My left
or your left? Oh, no.
I turn around. Oh gosh.
Left towards. You're facing the door, I think,
yeah. You're.
Well, what did I say? Starts with a T turn for
member's name. Torino.
Torino, yeah. Because that's at the end of the
city. It is Turin I think is actually
the city's name. Ohh, I know Torino is too.
It's like somewhere in America. Anyways, Torino bobs his head up
and says all right boss taking it to the left and sends a crew
over that way. And they start, they they jump
from your shell onto the onto the wall, just spring and board
and start crawling on the ceilings and they are going to
need to roll me a perception. I turn to and I just say some
people just like write a head log into these kind of things
and I just figure why the throw back.
Do they use my perception, right?
Yeah, because I have a hell of Perception.
I have a passive perception of 17 and then I'm gonna roll a
perception only 10. Not quite a natural one, but
yeah, so they go in and they are.
Quite sure they they come back and report and say we didn't see
anything, boss, but we're pretty sure that that group is get you
a shit. It's just empty.
Yep.
Weird. Check out the right one and I'll
turn to Flint. Go ahead and toss your left or
your light stove into this left chamber.
And see if we could peer into it and see anything, or if it
reacts to the stone at all. Also, we're still in the pocket,
Rocket, yeah? Yeah, I know that you guys are
OK. I can move you back over there
because I thought I didn't think this was gonna take.
There we. Go.
All right, the left room, you said.
Yeah, just to see if we we can see from here.
My bug says that the the left one is completely empty and they
said it was super sketchy but they're checking out the right
one right now so I wanna see what you see.
I'm gonna try to toss stone right about.
That far over there? OK, go ahead and enroll me a I
know it's related to dexterity. Usually there's something else
though. Let me just role of dexterity.
I'm not really throwing it to do damage, I'm throwing it as As
for accuracy. Yeah, otherwise.
Accuracy would be sleight of hand.
Yeah, which is dexterity related.
So I either one all right, so natural one.
Yeah. You try to toss it all the way
on the other side of the room. It lands probably about 10 feet
in front of you, rolls about a foot onto.
Halfway ish of where you're attempting to meet and you hear
the slightest of clicks can ohh I can't torch.
I was trying to move the torch in there to give us the light.
Ohh. You should be able to see in
there. I can see just like what my
player can. Yeah, I think what he means is
he needs like a light source in there.
But you should be, well, you wouldn't really be able to sit.
We can see what our player sees from this angle, which is about
everything we would be able to see anyway.
Yeah, so hearing the click and now being a rogue.
Would I recognize the sound of a trap being triggered?
More than likely. All right.
And I'm pretty sure that was a trap.
Way of shit. You do see the Pebble, seemingly
out of nowhere, just disappear from the spot it was on.
Ohh shit second. Ohh, it landed.
So it's like a floor hopping Gabe for like a speed Gabe here.
Interesting. I'll pick up a Pebble and put it
right here. Is it random or is it every
tile? Right where?
I didn't see any like on this first tile gotcha.
Gotcha. Gotcha.
One that we could easily just jump over, So.
You're just gonna set it there without okay, nothing happens.
I will take my staff and lightly like push down on the tile.
On the first tile that you were still nothing, nothing happens.
It's very solid under your staff, so.
Grab arm full of stones and throw them at you.
Yeah, that seems like it would be smart if it's if it's like a
random a set and not just like, you know, one of those Mario
themed ones where you run and they fall behind you if you're
run real fast. What the hell is Mario?
I don't know. I don't know where that came
from. I kind of love it too, but I
don't long into the distance for a second anyway.
Enter the twilight. So everything's static.
No, I like your idea. Yeah, we should we should trip
all. If if it really is like rad up,
we should trip as many of them as possible.
I don't know how all the long this all takes, but I'm assuming
Ash probably is that. Yeah, it was Ash, right?
Yep. Yeah.
I don't know how long your stuff takes, but feel free to join
whenever you want. You're probably I forget what
you would ask sorry of the group before.
What? I had asked.
Yeah, you were gonna come back through the portal or something
too. I hadn't come back through the
portal. I thought they were bringing the
plant things in. That's right.
That's what you would ask? No.
So you guys are figuring that stuff out with the traps and
such? Before Ash was like, are we are
the the skeleton's handled now? Ohh, turn to Flint.
Ohh, that's cool. We should bring these in and
then we can update her and then we could either call it there or
keep going. But.
I'd say probably call it. There ohh yeah it is like 5
till. Ten, we have a key piece of
information about what lies ahead of us.
We score ourselves this huge pile of bones and I wonder.
I wonder if these skull plants turn bones into our own skeleton
army. Yeah.
Does it work with any kind of bones?
I mean, I chipped that bone off of the wall and it worked.
What if we would come across a dragon bone?
Possibly work. On any kind of creature.
Bones, what if we came across to God?
What if we came across chicken bones like that's cooking on the
stove right now? Then you would have more
chickens, skeleton chickens. How does it work with lobsters
or like exoskeletons? That's they would just look
normal. Like, no, they're totally
skeletons. Just like.
Just like, fine. Ohh man, What are we gonna do
with our giant skeleton guys? I don't know yet, but I'm
excited to find out. Me too.
Well, and the fact that, uh, that Bob can straight up take
control of them. Yeah, Game changer.
MMM. Mind controlled.
Skeleton Man, we got this. You should throw Bob the wait is
Bob the Skeleton. Now back in Bob the Crocodile.
Yeah, he took it over the giant skeleton body temporarily to get
in there and then left the body to go back into the crocodile.
And he did this. On the promise that I would find
him a humanoid body so that he can enjoy the pleasures of life,
which you can't enjoy while a skeleton or a skull or
apparently as a crocodile. What would happen were Josh I to
try to use my skeleton hand power to create a body?
What do you mean? So I don't know what the
limitations of the, uh, the um, hell clay ability that I have
is. Mmhmm.
So that's kind of what I'm asking.
Like at one point I created human meat because I wanted to
see if everyone would be OK with eating it.
A faux human meat? Would I?
Yeah, faux human meat. Could I make a faux human for
Bob? Like, essentially a clay golem,
Yeah. Ohh, I work just in the meantime
until we find him a nice juicy boy.
Yeah, I don't know if he would have any sensations though.
Yeah, that's what. I was The thing that he wants is
he wants the sensations. He wants to be able to taste,
touch, smell and ohh whenever he wants.
I turn to the Skellington pile in there and then I look back.
I can create faux flash and we have a giant pile of Skellington
bones in there. I will consider.
Maybe we could. Sir Skellington, A.
A a flesh suit, right? And then we could arm him.
With more arms, yeah. With.
Yeah, more that possibly. I was thinking, once we find Bob
a human body, throw Bob this crocodile in there so that he's
got a crocodile hand, like a like a snapping jaw hand.
That'd be fun. Oh, oh, a crocodile mouth hand.
Yeah, yeah. When you said crocodile hand, I
was imagining like their little hi guys, I mean in scale maybe.
Turn. Turn at least that one hand into
a bit of a T Rex hand, then. Yeah, true.
So, yeah, yeah, lot of potential for this Skellington guys if we
can figure out how to utilize them.
Yeah, I love it. I'm, I'm sure we'll come up with
something good that Josh might just be like, ohh, God, I have
to deal with this now. Us know it's the whole game.
I think it's funny because I have so much of that kind of
like funny content that appears on my Instagram and I send it
all to Josh. I'm just like, haha, This Is Us,
isn't it? Sorry, we're moving.
It in. I don't mean to do that.
I just think it's funny. We were far more, but I got my
mouth. Oh, sorry, who's?
It kind of did say sound like you said penis in my mouth.
I heard either penis or fingers. Like, I got penis in my mouth.
I'm like, all right, what if you like?
I'm not here to judge. You I'm very.
I'm surprised that you got mouth out of that too.
It was just Cheez its is what I was shoving in my mouth hole.
Yeah, I heard I have. Penis in my mouth, I'm not.
A. Dirty pervert.
You're a dirty pervert. Nope.
Jesus, I'm gonna hop off because dinner is ready.
So I will catch you guys later and congratulations on bagging a
giant zombie or a giant Skellington.
Yeah, good session. Yeah, yeah.
All right. Good night.
Night. Good night.
Also, nobody did anything with the astral thing or these
diamonds. It's fine.
We'll figure it out later. I'm pretty sure everyone just
heard that. No one's sleeping anyways.
