Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warnings. 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 Allelopolis.
Fucking. Greg.
Why would we praise Him? Greg, my Lord, I've done that.
I've killed them. All and you're not.
Stop that. All right, Grand Am, you'll get
an opportunity to describe yourself more in depth.
But if you wanted to say anything briefly here you I
will. I will say that you find
yourself starting off on a large table that extends.
You can only know it's a. It's a table for the fact that
there are good sitting upon it, some of most of which are larger
than life, and the edges of the table you can see out into a
starry expansive void. I'm just wondering.
Like a case of warm Mountain Dew and a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos,
open and half empty. Those, those, those things
resonate with you, but you, you don't find any of any of the
food items on this table that you're, that you're thinking of.
You're, you do see kind of maybe a mirage of them besides some
candles off to the upper right of the table or the North East
and above you too, along with the edges of the table.
You kind of follow that starry expanse above you and you see
the sky is filled with these, with, with the same and, and
under you, the table is this mahogany wood with a filling out
of the table. You do see books, some cards and
keys, a compass, some coins, and you stand upon a page that just
reads tariff. The path unfolds under you with
a more pages underneath of that. You can kind of see a little bit
up to the northwest that are poking out from under where you
stand. OK.
What do you do, Grand Am? Well, if I can read the writing,
suppose I would take some time to read what I can if I don't
seem to be in any imminent danger.
So you do not find yourself in any imminent danger.
You go over to the page just under the top that you stand on
and you see that it is a map. If you go to the journal inside
of Rule 20 there and go from there, that that's that book
looking thing. And then go go from there to
Handouts and Allopolis where you find yourself currently and a
map called Tarth Globe, NW hemisphere.
And that's what you would see on the map, more or less.
I just see a big old map. Yep, that should be, that should
be accurate. Do you see some names on there
and such too, though? All right, yeah, you see some of
that. One of the things we didn't get
to talk about preemptively there is your back story, which we
just didn't get to. But the world is more or less
open for creation. So we've only charted the areas
that the player characters have been to so far.
And some of those though, like Helmsgratt out there and
Byzantium, Athenia and Ruevik's clan are only talked about that
that haven't been actually gone gone to yet.
And and that's partially some back story stuff.
So if there's something you want to add to it, more than welcome.
And just for your I, I should start doing that again.
Had the hats off moment, but that that was a hats off moment
to you Hat back on you. You're looking at this map and
you, you see only few areas charted on it.
And it's probably a lot bigger than you expected from your
perspective, but you do recognize some forms and shapes
perhaps. I have a place called Teddy
Sprinkles. It was renamed yeah.
And with that, Grand Am is going to, I suppose, hop off of this
book and go wandering around the table, exploring it as you were
ultimately winding up at the edge to peak over the side.
And when you look over the edge, you see that starry void of an
expanse expanding below the table.
There are, you realize, some table legs that don't seem to be
resting on anything, just kind of floating in this void with
you. And there is no nothing that
like. Is there anything appropriately
sized that can be investigated, or is it all gigantic?
It's all gigantic. You can investigate whichever
item you choose or however many items you choose if you if you
want to do more than just the base just interaction.
So I allow any sort of, you know, I touch this, I move this,
tell me, tell me if I can or I can't.
But if you want you want to do a deeper investigation and a role
for something, let me know. You kind of want.
Let's see, I feel like Grand AM would investigate what was on
the table before taking the, as you mentioned earlier, step of
leaping into the starry void that.
So you would like look over behind your shoulder at every
everything or how do? You kind of like he'd walk up to
things, try and figure out what's going on here, where he's
at, piece it together. So the other thing that you
notice besides the map is probably the piece of paper
right under where you started, and it's in a language that you
do not understand, one that I've created myself.
So it's probably not on your lists.
Although what do you are the languages that you know?
Grand Am speaks Dwarven, Common and Deepspeech.
OK. No, yeah, not on the piece of
page that was under there. There's probably one book
amongst the pile, all of which like I mentioned, are quite
large. Just to give you some scale to
understand by what I mean by large we're talking 20, 53035
feet in length for the longest dimension on the book, and
they're probably about 5 varying thicknesses.
So you've got anywhere between a foot and five feet.
Take books. But there is one amongst them
that seems to be in deep speech. You only notice because a part
of it is peeking out from one of the others.
Are the pages too big to be torn?
I wouldn't say they're too big to be torn that that can't be
the truth of any piece of paper, unless it were.
Well, by a dwarf that is being dwarfed.
Yeah, by the book itself, you, you would have some struggle is
what I would say to getting to any amount of paper under it
because it is under some of the other books too.
This isn't one of the books on top.
So you could certainly try, you know, to like see, I can I can
imagine you could get come up to the edge, maybe wheedle your way
in and rip a page out if that's what you're going for.
If you there might have to roll for something like that, though.
I. Was thinking he was going to
basically take the map. The map.
That one you could probably take time to kind of treat like a
giant comforter and fold it up if you really wanted to, because
even as a dwarf, you know, these are just sheets of paper.
Even though they're really long, they it'd be like trying to
handle a very large flag. You know, it'd be cumbersome,
but you could do it. Like to do that?
All right. So then in in that case, as
you're as you're taking, do you want to tell me how you you're
trying to trying to do that? Tearing the pages out of?
Or is it just not part of the book?
I was not assuming it was in the book.
No, so that's where we might be in varying misunderstandings.
The over here is is the books and the the map and the pages
you were standing on are free, free standing.
They they do not they they are not bound.
I see the Grand Am is going to fold the boat into a paper air.
Fold the map into a paper airplane.
OK. I would like to see a let's go
with start a hand. Yeah, that's where my brain's
at, too, Yeah. There's there's sleight of hand,
a performance one of. I'll take the sleight.
Of hand roll. Yeah, I'll take this.
I'll go with sleight of hand for now.
That was teetering as well. It's grand Am you should always
teetering with A4. You didn't quite get the wings
right at the end of the day. Maybe it was just the length of
the paper or the miss Shapenness of it, but one side is very
evidently larger. Or you know, the wing is longer
than the other side. Perfect.
Then. Push it to the edge of the
table. All right.
Attempt to write it down from wherever he's at.
That's going to need a performance.
The yeah, the performance is on how you push it off.
You're going to probably follow up with an acrobatics depending
upon how that performance goes. OK.
Not bad. It goes off the edge of the
table as you're pushing it. You want to describe how you're
trying to push this too? He would drag it by the tip to
the very edge and then climb, like push it halfway off from
the back and then climb onto it and just like scooch his butt
forward until it slides off. Love that.
God I. Missed this.
Are you kidding me? I missed it.
I'm glad that it's it's actually going off the table already with
that performance, but we're going to need an acrobatics,
yeah, probably with disadvantage considering.
Well, that's not good because I started out with A1 disadvantage
because it's a bad airplane. Fair enough.
Yeah. All right, the dice has spoken.
I'm I should use Grand Am's dice?
Where are they? Yeah.
I said we're. Grand Am's dice.
I think he was just testing out to see how these ones are
rolling and I. Don't think you're not going to
believe this, but grand am it. It is decided it's a Nat one.
I believe it it's it's seems to be in the dice.
Tonight, don't lie. Yeah.
So you get right to the the tip of the plane and as you're
scooching out on it on the paper airplane there, you you get
unless you want to describe how you fail.
I will. I can fill that in.
Like I'd said, I can give you all sorts of leeway here.
Otherwise I will. Yeah, he kind of just like,
scoots out into the middle of it, and as soon as it comes
teetering off, he loses his grip and slides towards the front,
shifting the weight all the way to the tip and causing it to
spiral tip first downward. And in that.
Desperately hangs on to it by his like by his hands.
And in that spiraling you, you feel the centripetal force at
the front tip of this paper airplane, forcing you to hold on
even tighter and tighter. And as you do, your fingers go
through the paper that you're holding on and rip out the side
of the edge, actually causing your knuckles actually to to to
probably take like a paper paper cut.
OK. Just add insult or injury to
insult. Half a hit.
Point does it keep track of that?
Can you? No, I was going.
To say, let's go with two. You're meaner than I would be
even rolled for it. I would have been like one.
Add with a dagger as AD 4. Yeah.
Yeah, that's why that's I, I mean.
Paper cut equals dagger, same difference.
Yeah, yeah. It's a big, big piece of paper,
guys. There's a big piece of paper.
I don't know if you're. Now at 11 out of 13 HP 'cause
I'm level 1. Yay.
Great way to start. As you 2 lose your grip and you
feel that slice, you look back towards the table and it
shimmers and the piece of paper in front of you doesn't but you
and it start to fade almost. It looks like a cloud is
covering you and you're in a fog.
And you start to lose sight not only of the paper airplane, but
of all the starry void around you, and you start to feel
yourself physically and mentally not exist.
Shit, not again. Yeah, that's fun.
So that's that's the little intro I like to do there.
OK, See how you interact with the space if you can, Were you
able to move the token to? I didn't see that I.
Still don't see the map? Son of a gun let.
Me refresh it again. Tails let me try this too.
I I swore I'd done. Oh shit.
Here we go. I I had to give it.
There's the table. There we go.
That's why you were very at a loss.
OK, so you're able to move it now too.
Great. I.
See. It was still excellent.
All right, I'm gonna grab this and we're gonna go over into
another map. Hello everyone.
Chaos and Suz. You're right.
I think we're still missing two other folks that said they were
going to be here. Hey, Matt.
Hey, how you doing? Pretty good capitalism.
Enjoying that 90s. How's capitalism?
How's capitalism treating you? Treating me poorly, treating
rural great. Outstanding new ventures.
New ventures. Nothing.
Nothing tried, nothing gained. You're going to be coming up
privateer. What do you think guys?
That's that general. So like, are you saying it like,
you know, we're also in the privateer or like or also in the
idea of privateering? In the game or in real life?
In real life we can't 'cause we'd get arrested because high
tech. In the game we desperately need.
In the game, we desperately need more ships for our burgeoning
company. Is on the map.
Oh my God. This is true, but we also have
to deal with the issue of Rollison and writing contracts
that people don't need to be writing contracts with no.
It's. Fine, Josh, I don't know if this
is intentional, but I have a black screen still.
It's not. I'm getting what the.
Hell, have you guys done when I've been gone?
What? The fuck I?
Feel like every single time I take any sort of break I come
back to the most like fuck shit ever and I'm like I never should
like take a break ever again. OK, so OK, so we so we can
explain. We can explain, ready.
It's a simple, simple answer, very simple answer.
Matt did it. OK, well yeah, OK, that is a
pretty acceptable and simple answer.
For. Wait.
Wait, for which thing are we talking about?
But I am now as Ezra. Super.
Buff. Oh.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
How how many levels did you
gain? I went up 8 levels.
Jesus fucking Christ, what did you?
Let me do what I do. I get you.
Left OK, that's what happened. So So what had happened was so
follow follow our train track here.
OK, So what we did Franklin had a great idea.
He said, hey, we should get all the really smart people and put
them in the pocket rocket and then Ezra was like that is a
great idea. And then Ash was like, I don't
got a problem with it. And then we put a lot of
dynamite in the central location and we blew up an entire city.
The other. Campaign though, wait.
Yeah, he is. It's in the evil campaign.
OK, I'm talking about what the fuck's on the map right now for
the good. Campaign.
That's what I thought you might be talking about.
Are we just having a beach day? Yeah, that's what was.
Oh yeah, yeah. Beach day.
Oh yeah. Last time we had.
Why? Are there dead sharks?
Oh, not that. OK, so Roarson went fishing and
then? He.
Couldn't control the fish and then we brought it on.
Shore, and it was a. Shark and try to eat us.
And so we killed it and then we had a great idea.
We need food. But we did need.
Food. And so Well, last time that we
caught something in the water and made food out of it, we all
almost burned to death because we fed it to a dragon.
That's true, but this is just regular sharks I'm pretty sure.
Are you sure? No, we need.
To we're about, we're still. Slipping in the pay we're.
About 50. 50 on that. Basically what happened was we
killed one shark and then. Started a blood frenzy.
A bunch of other ones, yeah. We started a free feeding frenzy
and then we just killed the rest of them, or a bunch of the the
rest of them, yeah. Give or take, Yeah.
And the the why is 1 so big that?
Was the one that we were showed. Yeah, did you kill?
Did you kill its fucking baby? Maybe.
Oh my God, I'm no help for you
guys to figure out if these are magical because I'm not magical
myself so. Put it in our mouths.
Again, that won't help from my end.
Maybe you could do that. Magical things don't really
affect me. Oh, I was gonna say.
I was just gonna say. 'Cause last time when we made
the sushi from the magical innate, like the thing that took
away magic, I ate it and it was fine because I have no magic.
That's a lot of science and and This is why KIRO gets so gets
along so well with Zenora, 'cause he has no.
Magic so. I'm assuming you're gonna want a
little bit more of a recap than that, but.
Maybe. Maybe like the slightest bit
more. I feel like I actually could
probably follow along the whole blowing up of a city more than I
can follow along what the fuck happens on this beach 'cause I
feel like every single time I'm transported back to this beach
I'm like what the actual hell? Oh.
Speaking of Cat, she's here. Also there's what?
Wait, I just got back together. We only have one, the other one
is the Dragons. Yep.
That's OK. OK, as far as I was aware it's
still only a dune. So.
Yeah, so far. But we need more ships because
we just started a very large shipping company.
Yeah, we're, we're trying, we're we're trying to get my my
Admiral status. We're trying to get my, my up
the Admiral status. Well, she's already she's
already sort of because you've got you've got a captain on
board that you guys have gotten to you.
You guys want me to just run through the recap.
I I promise I'll get the whole island.
Getting it for I like getting it from their perspective.
Honestly, this is kind of hilarious.
It's just chaos. Because it's the whole idea of
like I blip back into existence and all this has changed and she
just turns and looks and goes what the?
Fuck. Well, I mean in that case.
I am thoroughly confused how we even got to a beach.
The last thing you remember, specifically Wisteria and I went
back to check this, is you were fighting a giant technical
monster. Yep.
Oh Oh my God, I can fill you in on what happened with that.
I know that part almost died. OK, at this point, I I think I
think yeah, Josh, take the lead, man, take the.
Lead. Take the wheel.
Yeah, 'cause as far as I know, on this boat, the only people I
recognize are Rarlsson and Cat. I like blipped in to help fight
and that was about it. I just kind of appeared.
Yeah, I will. I'll start it off here then we
still got one other that should filter in during this recap, and
they should have some of this information, if not all of it by
now to anyhow the hand. Fate tosses, the dice rolls
spins, turn. The campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that become stories.
Stories flow out into the infant sea, painting it with legends.
Legends wash up on the shores throughout the infinite sea,
fading to myth until myths are forgotten.
And again the campaign that gave it birth comes again.
And again the hand of fate tosses the dice, rolls, spins,
turns. Hitherto we left the rum rollers
on the Isle of Shondar. Mime, Cat, Hamilton and the
Rawlsons beached Adune right next to a horde of Cobolts and
their ship owned by Shondar. They then frolicked in the sands
with some crab to catch 12 of them for Shondar the Red Dragon.
Rarl also made a deal with Gulliver, the captain the the
red of the ship next to next to them, who is a red cobalt, to
deliver goats to Shandar. Golfer also warned Raul of the
feuding goblins inside of the Shandar's home of the active
volcano, while Adune whipped up some Balkan tentacle sushi for
another offering to Shandar. The Rum rollers headed north on
the Isle Island, head towards the island's body, a active
volcano on the way that they stopped to admire and then
devour enormous coconuts, coconut milk barely dry on their
faces. The Rum rollers marched forward
to the Obsidian cliffs at the base of the volcano.
At that edge of these cliffs sat a another red cobalt, old and
decrepit sitting fishing greeted them and again warned them of
the strife inside the lava tube tunnels that made their self the
entry into Shondar's Volcano. But he said they look strong
enough and they should be able to handle handle it.
Hamilton checks out and leaves back to a donated check to see
if the portal to the the decks was working, and Mime and Cat,
unable to see in the descending darkness of the tunnels as they
walked in, latch on to Roro and then Cat casts Fly on him.
Rahl speeds through the tunnels, avoiding the tempting magical
auras noted by his companions and the raging battle between
the Cobalts and goblins inside. They rapidly approach the small
contingent of guards outside of Shondar's chamber to the heart
of the volcano to in exchange for gold.
Shondar's guards let them pass without a word, and then they
were greeted inside exuberantly by the Red Dragon himself upon
entering the crater of the volcano.
He assumes they are early entries into his talent show.
They went along with it and entered themselves as goat
stackers, and after some quick practicing on this, Hamilton
took the lead, coming back through the portal to set up the
ACT for Shondar. With the Rarlsons balancing atop
one another and then Sonora atop them, and with Cat on the tippy
top, they set about juggling the goats all the way up and Cat
Flame broiling them at the top. The act went well until the
juggling goats ran out and filled the gullet of the excited
Shandar, who had transformed into his full red dragon form,
until they'd switched over to the sushi that was to come and
the Balkans. Tentacle sushi in particular
seemed to interact poorly with Shandar's gut, and they were
torched by his indigestion. They were torched nearly to
death, might I add, with only Captain Mimi and Hamilton
standing by to revive their act, luckily, and they set an
appointment to come to terms on the next day for an exchange of
gold to help from Queen Socrates to help save her town.
Negotiations go well with Chandar for the two cases of
Dragon's Breath in exchange for trading right exclusive trading
rights 20,000 gold less a handful that they got from
Chandar for rights on a new relaxing smokeable herb of a
name that they'd come up with the roller.
And they were to wait two days for Shondar to fill the breath
and one extra they were. They were also going to get one
total extra full crate of Shondar's breath for a nudie of
the Queen and a date with her Queen Thea of Socrates that is.
As well as they negotiated into the contract to have Captain
Gulliver the Red Cobalt as part of their crew for future
operations and they threw in a vial of indigestion potion to
help Shandar from their performance.
During celebrations of the successful deal.
Rarland Sonora snuck out and they sneak out into the caverns
to and lava tubes to find out more about the goblins to to
eradicate them for Shandar for a reward he'd had placed on them.
Timothy, the cobalt at the door they'd met earlier guarding it,
exchanged a letter for Rarl with Stronger to get all-purpose
communication tongues for himself and Zenora.
And they learned the call side for the day, which was Ladybug
in cobalt, so that they could speak any language they like
with these communication devices.
And they proceeded behind enemy lines, disguised as a goblin
writing a what's that thing again?
I need to write it down here. That's what I need.
What's what thing? The thing that we captured.
Now the thing that rural was pretending to be.
Oh, a Ward Award. Yep, you're being pretending to
be a ward ridden by a goblin and got behind enemy lines and found
your way into some other tunnels that were where the goblins were
coming from where they find a Dreider female named Vaughan who
seemed to be commanding the goblin rally point.
They capture her and bring her back to the dune where they
interrogate and eventually slaughter her.
She eventually tells them to. During the interrogations she
would have been amenable to joining the Rum Rollers as they
were going to become gods which she laughed at, but she said
that's the only other person that could defeat who's
commanding them a God called Loath.
And she'd made a deal with the PNC or the Professional
Necromancy cult to fuck with Shandar and the Rum Rollers
revisit the contract that they've made with the PNC many
moons ago as as a sub faction inside of the PNC called the
Wish Wish faction. They quickly realized anyone
into inducted into their group of the Rum Rollers was also now
by proxy in the Professional Necromancy cult.
Rahl gives his brothers the contract to read through and
they also learned that the goblins are created by butt
shaped crystals that the Dreider create or yeah the Dreider
create as directed by Loaf. Rahl suggested a plan of attack
to stealing the crystals to stop the goblins and seal the cavern
into the volcano. They abduct another male drier
on their second attempt of infiltration where Captain Mimi,
Zenora and KIRO go back to a dune together to decide on what
to do with the last rider who offs himself during the
interrogations. And they then feed the the
drieder corpses to the Balkan that they had you they'd
captured on their way to Gondor's island, who looked to
greedily eat them up. Stepping carefully over the lava
crap cracks inside of the volcano in the drieder tunnels
with Roro leading the way, KIRO wax a crystal wall and almost
falls into a pit trap where all finds a regular chicken and
names of Charles in a dead end full of webs inside these
confusing tunnels. During this time to Shia
reappears on a dunes deck in her room and greets new compatriots
Rahl, Zenora and KIRO of the Rum Rollers.
Now the current crew update her where they are and what the heck
they are doing. On Shondar the Red Eyed Dragon
Dragons Island, Rahl points out the magical contract she had
helped originally create generate with a professional
necromancy cult to save their lives.
She added she then tries to brutalize the contract out of
existence to know where to fail. The decision was made to try and
nullify this contract with the PNC in person.
Sonora recalls they should return to the the Tongues of
Tongues to Shondar and wanted a audience with the dragon too.
We're all greets, Gulver. I think I'd skipped over a whole
portion here where you guys had actually gone into the crystal
cavern that was hidden behind the enemy lines there to steal
some of those butt crystals and seal it up with a extra jar of
Shondar's Breath you'd had by exploding a an entire tunnel
moving forward though if. We use the explosion thing to
kill all the goblins. Yep, all the goblins that were
there and you'd taken the the command point out, so far as the
drivers were concerned at least, and seemingly reported to
Shondar to retrieve your reward stating that you had eradicated
the the goblins like like you'd ask and as well.
On the way back, Rural greets Gulliver and gives him the
paperwork to sign and give him over to a dune to Orient for
orientation on the beach before traveling to Shandar himself.
On the way we're all on the on the way to Shandar we're all
finds a hidden treasure chest full of gold gar coins.
She says with her. She announces it to explain her
father's face upon them as it wasn't.
I don't know if you ever did add that it was like or it was split
up or anything. It was 9.5 Ki had on here.
I think we're holding on to that in case we can use it to get
that giant coin back, which is far more valuable.
And from there, Captain Mime make some or yeah, make some
bat. Oh no.
See, This is why yeah, you guys would fought some bat like
creatures down there too with a disco ball.
I'd I'd I'd my notes are scattered, I apologize and then
and use yeah, captain me may use the disco ball to distract them
to make them start dancing, including some of the own team,
her own team or their own team members.
And during the the contact with the crystal portion of the
cavern, she had connected with Zenith, who used, she used her
crystal sword to open into the crystal cavern.
And one of the other things that was found was a statue of
cloning, which was kept by Shia upon Zenith's request to not
destroy it. And Yep.
And then we're all got 5 1/2 butt crystals after realizing he
could use the the God table to shift them out of the ground.
And I think got a little bit more here.
That was the most Wheel of Time intro I've ever heard in my
entire life. It was also the duration of the
entirety of the Wheel of Time. I'm so glad someone else besides
besides Captain Mimi would notice because she's who
introduced me to that series and I have a lot of respect for
them. So I used the candor and the
cantation of that to create the intro.
It's one of my favorite series of all time, if not the.
Right. I feel like we should rename our
group to AD and D like ADHD. I think that one might might be
taken. AD and D advanced D.
And. D and they are one of the.
Like. Earliest versions of the game.
Yeah. Oh, really?
Yeah, I would, I would, I wouldn't go say anything, 'cause
like, you know, I was like, that's, I'm pretty sure you say
this stuff. I was like, that's sort of.
I was like. Yeah, Wheel of Time.
And I was like, I was like, and that that was one of the many
things I was going to talk to Jacob, but just keeps, you know,
always kept deluding me whenever I go.
Over to his place. But yeah, he's the one who
introduced me to the book series.
Yeah, Yeah, it's excellent. That is where I I picked up the
timing and the the kind of essence, if you will, from that
and created my own first book. Took forever, but Jake warned me
that it about say Jacob warned me that the first book is very.
What's the word he used? Dry.
DRY. Yeah, that'd be the word it.
Feels like it feels like Tolkien writing, yeah.
Yeah, what's up there for me? I'm a huge Tolkien fan, so I was
saying it's a grunt, Drew. Concluding, though, you guys had
made it forward to the to the pass where you'd blown up the
goblins before and made your way through to Shondar's chamber and
reported to Shondar himself, who was indisposed in a red cobalt
stopped you telling him he was in the after party of the talent
show, AKA an orgy and red and and but he was able to help you
with your rewards, which you'd gotten for clearing and closing
the paths for the goblins. And then you'd had a well, three
of you would had a magical relaxing day on the beach with a
dune playing volleyball, eventually killing.
And we're lastly preparing some shark meat for the journey back
to Socrates as you guys are kind of standing on the deck and
probably talking to a dune about, you know, getting
underway to go back to Socrates for those of you that had not
been existing up to that point. So she and you were here last,
but everyone else, you feel your body had started to lose weight.
You were floating effortlessly in a void in no particular
direction. In a in this void of
nothingness, your wants, wishes, and will drift away.
Only one feeling persists. You are all things because you
are no things. There is no movement, but
everything, including you, moves infinitely fast, knowing all
things but knowing no thing. You have all things but hold
nothing. And then with a color and a
slight sparking streaking across your vision, a persistent boom
boom boom spurs to life brings bringing with it a weight
physically and that of time as you feel yourself beginning to
realize there is a you a clear desire dream determination pulls
you towards it and a growing changing evermore you flow out
into an evolving you at a solid chug chug chug with your vision
clearing on the scene before you, which you stand upon a ship
for those that weren't here before.
And a feeling of having stood right at the Crest of a wave as
it splashed over you and the tingling heady high start to
buzz through your limbs and your whole body.
Yeah. So you guys, Grand Am Cat,
Zenora and Wisteria are standing on a deck looking probably
around you, and are probably almost immediately greeted by
some familiar faces to some of you look.
If cats right in front of me like on the map, the first thing
with Syria is going to do is just run over to cat and lean
down and start giving cat some scratches.
I was going to ask if that if she knew that cat was a chicken.
Yeah. My God, I don't know how.
I don't know how long ago that happened.
So. Well, for cat really long, for
wisteria couple weeks. I'm just going to lean into the
scratches like, yeah, that's. Good.
I'm going to reach into my pocket and pull out some like
berries. I'm going to be like I brought
you something from home. I'm going to eat them very
vigorously, just like, Oh yeah, snacks.
Just feeding you some Faye berries, Some Faye wild berries.
Yeah, I don't even question what they are.
I'm like oh I can eat these NUM NUM NUM, NUM, no questions, just
takes food. I don't know if you want to
describe that interaction in more detail and to I know.
That some people realize go. Ahead.
And Rarlson, last time you guys saw Wisteria, it was.
The color was there, yeah. Yeah, it was springtime and with
Seria was had like she looks on her player token so the like
mint colored skin, the lilac hair and pale pink eyes.
And now when you see her I look I sound the same and my facial
features are the same but my skin is now more elf like or
more like neutral colored and tanned.
Her hair is blonde and she has light swirls all over her arms
and her legs and kind of creeping up her neck that are
just the hair lighter than the tan and almost seem to give off
a sunlight effect. And her eyes are now amber
colored because it is now summertime and we're in a
tropical location. Yeah, you would.
You'd recognize the Nora from your adventure briefly.
I wasn't sure. OK.
Yeah, Yep. And for sure she who you haven't
seen probably. So I think.
Seen the other 2 even. I think there was a gap I think
if I remember correctly I could be wrong but I thought there was
a gap between like Shia going off and then Zef left and then
Wisteria. That's a good question, Shia.
Do you remember Wisteria? What?
I feel like I've, it's really hard to say because I feel like
I've been to rhythmic veracity. Like I know wisteria from
rhythmic veracity. At the very least, yeah, I would
say there's that. Oh yeah.
But I feel like I've heard your character before, so.
I. Feel like we've met.
OK, so but that's that's really the only difference.
I mean like age wise and stuff I look the same.
If anyone else wanted to go around too so that you're aware,
maybe be good just to do have some, you know, brief at least
like I am, this is. Sure, I can go.
If we are in the ship, are we? Are we in the ship or on the
ship? Main deck outside.
And dock. So if it's anytime during the
day on the main dock, it is. Rarl and his three siblings are
sitting on the back near or near the back with hammocks.
They have a little like lunch set out.
They are flying kites and they are fishing.
And for your information, Rarlsen or Rarl?
Rarlsen is a ginger to back sea large beard dressed very
lavishly with bits of gold all woven in his like beard.
He's got two very like distinguishable knuckle wraps
that kind of wrap up his arms. He wears purple like I think
like purple silks. And he has three siblings that
act as basically a manservants to him and do literally
everything for him while he sits there enjoying the day eating
grapes that are being fed to him.
He waves. Oh, hello.
The. Others wave as well.
We're going to say waving. Too.
I mean, just like all the people that suddenly just popped up.
Oh, OK. He just sees a group.
Yeah, yeah, it would be a group. You see Cat being caressed by
wisteria. Think I might remember Wisteria?
Vaguely, very vaguely, and definitely as a Nora who wrote
on your back. Yeah.
You still team 6.
Franklin. Would remember her because.
He killed her in the Halloween year with Mick Veracity brawl.
That's right. Did.
Oh, yeah, I pushed you in a hole.
That's right. And then you kept trying to get
up and I dropped rocks on you. Yeah, because I kept trying to
like Misty Step and yeah, fly out.
That seems to be one of your techniques.
Just push them in a hole. It's a good technique.
If you give me a hole, I'm going to put something in it.
You. Noted.
Bring mysterious holes. You want to do your rhythmic
ferracity. Distract roro with holes.
I I, I know Shia, you've introduced yourself to a a
handful of folks before. I don't know if you and Zenora
have met actually or not. I think it was briefly in a
fight. You may have been helping, but.
Maybe I am. I am very small.
I'm a halfling monk and I'm in like traditional monk attire
that's like blue and I've got like long black hair.
I'm very pale and I tend to ride on people's shoulders for fun,
but I'm actually like way faster than most everyone here so.
To the race sometime. Actually just to like keep up
with, it's like she's so much faster that she's like easier.
Yeah, like my base walking speed is 40, but like everyone else is
just tall. So I'm just like, I just ride on
people's shoulders and have fun. Makes sense.
I'm the exact opposite. The blue Dragonborn 6 foot
something looks like she potentially was royalty.
But now has. You know, frayed, frayed
existing royal clothing and is has a loot on her back and
Gritia with a big toothy grin. Love that I am cat not.
To say it's like it's a good. Time.
I am Kat the Gok. You just see a normal looking
chicken just on the deck being caressed by an elf.
The chicken is like your normal like iconic red brown feathers
on on the like head and body and then the metallic like blue tail
feathers. You can also see that it is
wearing a necklace with some charms on it and it just looks
very happy to get some attention.
This chicken is also a rooster, if that was not clear.
Oh yeah, yeah, it's a it's a rooster.
But if you ask nicely and he tries hard enough, you'd
probably get an egg. Yep.
With willpower and rage, we. Can have breakfast.
I think that would leave us down to KIRO and Grand AM.
Yep. So for I guess Rosen and Nora,
they, they know what he and Shia and I believe, I believe the
only person that. Doesn't know what.
Curo looks like, is that we mean wisteria?
Wisteria. Yeah, and well, soon to be.
The soon to be grand. AM so grand.
Am is a some 7 foot tall. You mean not, Not yet.
Yeah. KIRO.
There we go.
KIRO is like a 7 foot tall half dragon with black Obsidian
scales that run the sides of his arms and around like his cheek
areas but with a normal like human face.
And he wears head to toe heavy armor that's in the style of
basically samurai. He carries 2 swords, one Cortana
and one really long nadachi. And currently at this point in
time he's y'all would see him just standing and sharpening his
sword all. Right, I guess.
This is me grand am materializing.
On the deck is a about 5 foot six dwarf.
He has a He's got a long black beard that has streaks of Gray
going through it. 5 foot 6. 5 foot six I was because they've
heard the Wharf. Yeah, kind.
Of well, that's kind of where they fall like 5 foot eight is
like their height Max. Oh OK, of a bitch.
What? Like, yeah, yeah.
I've seen like between four and five feet tall.
So like I would imagine more like 4 foot six, but.
Oh my God damn. Some people are wondering,
wondering probably if you actually are a dwarf.
Yeah. He is he His width definitely
makes him a dwarf. He's about as tall as he is
wide. He's wearing a tattered green
cloak with windswept features. He looks around the deck, having
not entirely sure how long he didn't exist there.
He blinks slowly, though really it looks more like 2 wings as
the eyes are asynchronous, and then promptly screams and turns
into a squirrel that's just as haggard as he is and climbs them
as in mass. And you said goes up.
Out engaged he he. Oh no, you turned into the wrong
animal, girl. 'S going to have to roll up.
For it, and all four of us do. Their do, their eyes do the
thing. They they.
They walk on. The pupil became the whole.
Eye, he's a. Haggard looking Gray squirrel.
Squirrel like the fur just pokes out at odd angles and his tails
just oofed out. Oh, no.
All right. What was what did you say, Josh,
that I had to roll? Constitution savings row to No,
not to attack. All right, I guess this will be
for the whole group. I have a +2.
Yep. Who's next on?
It's not. Is it?
Not rolling. Is it all of the royal?
Sons. Yeah, yeah, for all of the
royal. This is for the whole cat. 9 +
211. Can I roll to like what's that
called? Deep like catch em?
Oh, like a Dexterity. Yeah.
Yeah, like a Dexterity, like see the two get in on this.
I can't get in on this too, no. Reaction time, You're going to
need to roll a. Initiative.
Actually, we guys could combat initiative if you want to do it
that way. Yeah, I want to help prevent him
from attacking this new person. All right.
Plus 11 do initiative. Let's do it.
I'm not even paying attention to that.
I'm you just say plus 11. 11 Yes, that's correct.
I go first. What?
Happens when you. That's what happens when you
multiclass into like Bard and rogue and shit.
Yeah, Oh. God.
Damn bar goes first. I don't know, you could still
get in that warm. I could get, I could roll badly.
Yeah, that's. True.
So are you gonna roll for all of them again too?
Just one singular 1. Sure, that's easiest.
All right, so go ahead and roll and sounds like yeah and and
Zenora. Yeah, he's going.
He's fucking going. Forward first.
God damn it, I rolled really well too.
God damn it, yeah. 23 versus a 28.
Just wait until I get a Sentinel shield from Franklin.
Oh God. So you.
You. What's his passive?
Yeah, not even close. What's his passive?
Dexterity. My yeah.
OK, my passive Dexterity, my decks is.
Like your decks for? I yeah, I think that's what
you're asking, right? Mine is.
Mine is +2. I have a 14.
Oh my God, what? How?
The fuck do you think 15? Because I get Swashbuckler gets
their charisma added which is a + 4, some rather plus 6 plus
proficiency or plus a yeah proficiency.
Then I have the Alert feat which is +5.
Oh, it's. Funny decks fight me.
This is rude, so. Unfair.
Thus is. I go.
Fast. I mean, what would probably
happen is you would. What did you get though, Shia,
by the way? I just need to know 15 So you
you get the like coyote Roadrunner thing where you like
grab for thin air and there's just dust.
And the Nora though, you get like a tuft of fur.
Just as he's running by, one of them is running by.
I take it this check was failed? We are a well coordinated
hunting pack. I'm.
Just gonna. I'm just gonna scream up to the
squirrel and just be like, watch out, there's cats.
What I'm what I'm going to to need and the.
Cats for. The for the final check there
too on yourself rural is going to be because you're you're
going up a squirrel squirrel. I I know you both have climb
speeds at that. I have all the speeds now except
for burrowing. But you are on a ship and
climbing up a mast, so I would I would people.
Make the best rigorous. I would I would I would like to
point out that speaking is a free action grand am in in our
world, no matter when or what or how.
But I'd also like to say that what you're to clarify your
intent when you're going up the the mast there Laurel, I know
Hunter instinct, but what does that mean to you?
What are you doing? I mean.
It this is where I mean in terms of in terms of what like so all
four of us split up and one I go straight for them.
The other two try to loop around the back and like prevent escape
on the other mast or other high places.
And then Jeffrey sits there with a like a blanket, ready to
catch. OK, so you you probably you
probably skittered up quite far on the mast Grand am I would I
would say having been startled and all and in general, the
speed at which squirrels can climb versus cats.
You're you're pretty you're you're pretty high up.
I would say beef beef when you're looking down to see this
transpiring below you. So how how are you reacting?
I'm I'm kind of trying to give some turn ordering, but it's.
Yeah, go for it. So.
While while all this is happening, I'm just going to
like lean down to Kent who like at this point I'm just sitting
crisscross on the ground with and I'm just going to lean over
and be like, at least they're not trying to eat you and keep
cutting Kent. I chuckle.
I was like they haven't tried that in a while.
When I learned you were sentient.
So what does that mean for Charles?
Yeah, I mean when you learning they were.
Charles was intended to be dinner.
No, no, he turned. He.
Introduced himself and then turned into a squirrel.
I saw I specified I was waving at the group.
Yeah. From the other end of the ship.
So I just suddenly saw a squirrel appear.
OK. Yeah.
Logic approved. Yeah, the cat instincts cannot
be ignored. Grand Dan, are you?
Right. I have pushed to talk on now
because I'm in a room full of people.
Right? Yeah.
If he can make it to the top, Grand Am will turn back.
I'm assuming there's like a crow's nest.
Yeah, if he'll climb into the crow's nest, turn back into a
dwarf, and start throwing sticks down.
So I can push, I can push 180 feet in a turn I don't please.
Help me these acorns come from your cheeks.
Inside his beard. What was the climbing speed of
your of your squirrel? I'm assuming you had it up at at
the time of turning. Have a climb speed of 30 feet.
I'm assuming. He was.
Closer to the thing. Right, exactly 1st and secondly,
just from the reaction speed and downtime of of that, he, his
intent was clearer before yours was.
So he was probably up to the bottom of it at the very least
by the time you're halfway up and and and I would I maybe even
all the way up right as you're coming over the edge is when you
see him turn into a dwarf is possibly even what's happening
there actually, because it's not, it's only like a 20 foot.
It's only like a 2020 foot mass. It's not 30 feet.
He could clear it in a turn. I I'll say that I come up like
immediately after he turns into a dwarf.
I land and start searching for the squirrel, not realizing he's
the dwarf. Did you see the squirrel?
You must have. He was just here.
I. Want him?
He's still up there and then I'm just gonna point.
I throw an acorn at him anyway. And then suddenly all two of my
other siblings descend and just like, jump on the mass too.
Where is it? Where is the squirrel?
It's. Right on the way down with us
now. Jeffrey's still down there, and
he kind of looks at you and shrugs.
This is, Nora shrugs back at this point.
This is fucking normal. I understand the minds of these
siblings. Kira looks looks up from the the
area he's at He's just like and then goes right right back to
sharpening a sword at at this point to to add to add more
complications to the matter. Of course, you feel a presence
pushing on your mind. It it's not, it's not invasive
in any way, Grand Am it? It it's very slight and subtle.
It's like a knock, if you will, at the door asking to be let in.
Sure, he'll open up. It wouldn't be the first time.
No, I wouldn't. So you you opened up to the the,
the sense that was put just, you know, ever so subtly knocking
against your consciousness and you feel a a feminine voice
resonate in your mind. Go Well, Hello, new traveller
and adventurer of the I'm hoping to be anyways, in the group of
rum rollers. I'm a Dune.
That's whose decks you find yourself on.
Currently, I'm the ship. Ha ha.
Correct me if I'm wrong. But those don't talk.
I'm I'm sorry. I didn't catch that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but those don't usually speak.
You are not wrong, it's been a very wild ride for myself as
well, but if there's anything that I can help you with while
you're on my deck so I will gladly do so.
Yeah, bro, why are you all up on her deck?
Ha ha bro. Better.
I'm sorry I was suddenly ambushed in real life by my
child A. Karma.
Did you catch what I'd said? I did not.
Oh, if there's anything that I can help you with while you're
on my decks, please just ask. And then all the snarky
comments. Yeah, I missed my snarky
comment. Damn.
I'm sorry I missed that grand AM.
Getting. Distracted by his real life.
Child by the by the real life child.
Yeah, yeah, that's fair. Child is trying to have a
conversation with a ship. Damn it children, we're trying
to have fantasy conversations with talking ships.
Excuse you, not real. Conversation trying to get on a.
Tick. Have you seen my real hard
Dicks? What the ship just let me enjoy
this Dick Dick. Pardon me, I.
Alright, that's slipped out. You're not.
The only voice in my head. No ways, no ways.
True true statement. How did I get here?
That is a rather excellent question, but not too many.
Actually, no one really solves that.
How? Yeah, OK.
Magic. Will he always do this when I
try to turn into a squirrel? Oh wow, probably not I.
Mean yes if you immediately take off.
Yeah. He's going to be.
He can be troublesome, but only if you surprise him.
I think if as long as you give him fair warning.
The voice in my head says your name is Ralston and he doesn't
seem angry so I don't think I'm in danger.
I like the the acorn I had prepared anyways to try and hit
him between the eye. Go ahead and enroll.
I'm guessing that'd be a improvised weapon attack.
Yep, Yep. I would make the argument that
Grand AM should be proficient in acorns, but.
Very much so, very much so. I mean, I, I would, I could
accept it. Do you have proficiency in
projectile weapons or anything too?
I'm they come with druids come with slang proficiency.
Then Yep, I must say him from a lower aspect, Josh is yeah, just
yeah. Just guess he throws acorns a
lot. Granddad Grand Granddad Grand is
a man from my world and oh God. Oh God.
So. To be clear, have Kyoto and
Grand Dam met in another world? Hero has heard of the Grand Am.
He's about if he if he puts it together.
Yeah, he's heard of him. OK, Yeah, you would or or or or
the OR. The term Grand Dam is a very
universally known term. You have some figure.
Out how to do a range of the tag here.
Just like roll AD 20 and add like your decks and proficiency
together to I guess. I'll just do a real life roll.
I got my. Dice here.
It's probably Swifter I. Got a 15.
On the die. Total.
Ah, OK, does. That beat your AC there roll.
9/18 I just dodge out of the way, not trying.
To hurt him just. Wait, can I try to catch it?
Yes, I'm trying to think exactly how you might go about that.
It would definitely be Dexterity based and I want to say you're
going to roll a sleight of hand to try and catch it 23.
I don't know if they're coming up.
It came out twice. Did you?
That was a A-15, you'd said so,
Yeah. You you can catch it.
Look at it. This is what squirrels eat.
I'm pretty sure I look at you. Hi, I'm Roro.
I'm. Still.
Looking around for the squirrel. I'm looking for a squirrel.
He was up here a short minute ago.
It's nice to meet you. You found only possibilities.
I guess we're the nuts on this deck.
Oh my God, Daring. Nora's going to jump.
She's jumping. This is it.
Anyway, welcome aboard. Why don't you come down and
we'll all get to know each other and maybe talk about the rodent
infestation? Sure.
How do I get down? You climb you.
You climbed up here, I assume? That was a squirrel then.
You're the squirrel. You don't look.
Like a squirrel that. Was another asynchronous blink.
You look like a dwarf inside. Check scrunch my.
Eyes. That he's a.
Squirrel. I got the 16 Squirrel.
I smell him. You're, you're inciting checking
whether or not he was lying, I'm assuming right?
So you, you know, he's not lying.
You catch a whiff of of the scent of the squirrel that
you're chasing in the air. You know the biggest squirrels
I've ever seen? You're the biggest cat I've ever
seen. You know.
That's very nice of you. We have a chicken on board too,
somewhere. So you're the squirrel.
So I we don't have a rodent infestation.
No, I'm the grand Am. Got him so like he's.
On top, top of the mat. Yeah, like here we should, we
should climb down. I start like nimbly climbing
down. You first.
Yeah, OK. Very swiftly make it to the
bottom, guys. He's the squirrel.
We know. Why didn't you tell?
Me. I tried, I even.
Catch it, you tried to catch me and you owe me a.
Russian I've been feeding. My hair out.
At this whole time. I don't know the DC of climbing
down from a vast, but Grand AM is not a good climber.
With a 10, you're able to hook yourself on some of the rigging
and slowly make your way down precariously but without
falling. All right, get to the bottom.
Dust myself off. Good job.
Sorry about that last time I appeared in a strange place with
strange people. I understand.
Just, you know, let me know my siblings, they don't have the
self-control that I do. Yeah, I just.
Weren't you the first one up there?
Yeah, Last time I got caught up in like, politics, and I don't
like politics. Politics, right?
No, we're not yet. We're we don't have any of
current political aspirations. All right, I'm behind that.
What do you think about the running a business anyway?
I have gesture to the others. Introduce yourself, strange
squirrel. He's a dwarf.
Not a squirrel, he told me. He's a squirrel.
I'm not a squirrel. And I.
I think. You're all I think he can he can
turn into squirrels. Oh, that makes more sense.
Excuse me, Sir, You're a. You're a what?
My name is Grand Am, I'm a Grand Am, asynchronous blink.
The first time y'all have seen KIRO, KIRO actually looks
frightened. The Grand Am.
No. Hey, Grand.
AM. Sorry, continue.
Like Grand Am of a Kellidor variety.
Maybe once. Yeah, Carol, Carol is officially
like, Yep, I've heard stories. I've heard stories of Grand Am.
Are they all true? Somewhere.
Maybe not here, but somewhere. Which Grand Am are you since you
said you are a grand AM? He just shrugs to that.
I'm sorry to interrupt it says a wooden figure.
In all of your minds, you see like a mouth formed.
So I'm going to backtrack real quick while you guys are
interacting, for those who haven't interacted with it yet,
it seems to form a form out of the deck forms in a wooden
figurine shape and starts to move, appear to move, you know,
as if walking, but across the deck in still of wooden figurine
shape and texture and everything though but saying in all of your
minds, I hate to interrupt, but I, I, I thought we were about to
get under way. Should I?
Should I be doing something? Let's go.
I think we've got everything we shouldn't sit around any longer.
Yes, where are we going? We're going back to Socrates to
finish our deal with the Queen and to get the wings.
Yes, we are finished on Chandar's Island.
And then we went back, then we left, and then we came back, and
then we left, and now we're leaving again.
You did all that in like 2 weeks?
It's been very busy. It's also you realized to you I
heard something about. Politics.
I heard I heard you coming through that.
It's really soft, not sure why. Not the really politics.
We're just doing a job you. Said no politics.
There's a lot of politics. Here.
But I did, I did say a lot of fuckery.
I have said. Fuckery.
One day we're going to become a president.
A Dune chance in order. I think it's, I think it's a
bit. More of like.
A commercial subcontracting. I don't know why that's in my
mind from my possibly from my times as a servant to the elf
Queens. Hard times indeed.
I. Have no idea what words you guys
are. So what's a president?
Maybe it's a leader. Maybe it's a leader of the cat
people. It's a leader of men.
They are elected, I think by some sort of, I don't know,
House of old people. They have two nosebleeds.
Well, to to be set under way, I think we might need an interim
captain. It seems me may captain me May
00 and there seems to be somehow blood trickling out of the nose
of the individual figurine. I don't know who I'm talking
about, but the captain before hadn't set someone up as a mate.
Oh shit, that's all right. Washed.
I run over and I caress the helm and I'm like, oh.
You're bleeding. Are you OK?
And I'm very distraught now I. Do I'm fine we're.
Supposed to do that either. I pull some more berries out and
like toss them at cat. Should we vote or should someone
just volunteer? I shall do it as as as per
custom. It is a vote that is taking
place if the captain isn't making the decision themselves.
I approve a vote. Sure.
I vote to vote and we are voting for who is.
And vote for me. I also vote for me.
I I think the. Usual.
The usual custom is that. I vote for, not me.
You need I also vote for, not me.
You need, you need somebody, some, some, some bodies to be
nominated. Oh.
So you can't choose yourself, but you can choose someone else.
I nominate Cat. I stand up.
Right here. Does the chicken speak?
I do magok does it bok magok the box?
Chicken. So we got one box 2 box.
Do I got 2 box over? Here. 3 bucks 3.
Bucks Captain, Captain, she's a little headed for.
The. Chicken.
I worry if I became captain we would never get home.
That is. True that we would.
Not. That's so true.
That's so. True shall chase the clouds to
see where they go. Where do they live?
I had nobody knows. OK.
You rhyming master. Thanks, I'm technically a Bard.
Get the shit. Out.
No, I'm not. No, that's not true.
I'm not. I sold to my soul for
capitalism. Counted 3 votes.
She always like grabbing her loot and was like let's jam man.
Like. I think I've counted a total of
of three votes for Cat and the four would be in the majority.
Oh fuck. Can I count the vote for Cat?
No, no, no, that wouldn't be per custom anyhow.
My siblings all walk up. We also vote for Cat.
Yes, what? He said.
Don't know if we get to vote or if we're just a conglomeration
of one person since none of us are really real and we all have
nosebleeds. I think you've registered
yourself into the rum rollers as in singular individual.
That's right. Thank goodness for God.
What was it called? Citizens United?
Yes, now we are a corporation. We are an individual rights.
Was there was there any other nominations at this time?
Silence means no. OK, so we shall move forward
with the vote. With Cat being interim captain I
think we need 4 and I counted three, one of which being rural,
one of which being that adverse voiced verbal confirmations, one
of which being Zenora I believe. And and Wisteria I'm not sure on
where. I think actually she or may have
been the 4th. I'm not because she made the
nomination herself, so that may stand for four, unless I've
miscounted for anyone. Wait, Ronald, didn't you vote
for yourself? You're not.
I can't vote for myself. I vote for Kat.
She seems good. Kira voted for Kat as well, so I
think that only that that definitely makes the majority.
Oh, Giro voted for himself. Oh, OK.
Yeah, he nominated himself. Breaking all the rules he is.
Oh, wait. There's only two.
Who knows? Where we're going, who knows how
to get to where we need to go? We're going back, probably.
A dune. Worker tea I and unfortunately
not good. She's been in a bottle.
For like, we have that other girl.
Yeah, we have the other. North's that way and it's going
to storm in 15 minutes. I don't care.
What the GM says so. Wait a minute, follow up on a
swashbuckler. Doesn't he know his way around
the sea? I am a Swashbuckler.
Yeah. And I used to be a pirate.
Yes, I can lead the way. I.
He just needs he needs supervision if he's going to.
My vote is for whoever has navigation skills.
I don't. I have.
Thieves on. And the forgery.
Character. This plane of existence.
I am very much on the wrong character.
Yeah, who would name Mathias for that?
Jake. None of my characters in this in
these worlds are navigationally good.
We did hire that cat, the other captain, the goblin or the cold
captain. Golver's He's on the other show.
Go No Let's. Make a navigation check.
Golver's been standing at the rail, kind of minding his own.
I am not sure. Did somebody say navigation
check? Because that's that's a good
vote. That gets my vote.
We just we need someone to have navigation skills.
Yeah, I would. I was just making a joke because
I'm like oh the skill check, we should just make a navigation
check. I can track things really good.
I'm trying. Are we going?
Are we backtracking? I'm not really particularly
sure. I thought we'd had a captain
selected as Cat. Yes, Cap.
Captain, you decide. I'm going to stand up real
tolerant, like we have to head back to soccer teeth.
That's a great idea. How?
This is why. I am going to because we have a
map, right? And I'm going to run down to a
map. Does the boat not know how to
drive itself? It does, but where?
It does, it just needs to know where to go.
Exactly, but I apologize. I I've just recently acquired
eyes. It's great appointment.
If if, if Aduni can if Aduni can see in our minds somebody who
knows where we're going. Picture that in your mind and
let them Duni see it. I can picture the island but
like how to get there with me? Because you said it faded out
with me. I'm going to the captain's
chambers to look at a map. As you guys are standing there
looking around and talking and discussing, out in the distance
what looked like to be a bird grows in shape and form.
OK, birds aren't real. Familiar shape to yourself grand
am of a. Fuck.
Giant paper airplane. Oh, I.
Was. Going to say it's Oh my God.
I knew birds. Weren't I'd yet done something
like what I did? Yes, I'm not the only one.
I must say, at least it's not a big giant compass.
Not a fucking coin here to behead you all.
Don't ask questions. Don't worry, I tossed.
I tossed. I tossed the compass.
Don't feel bad. It's my map.
Oh my God, it is a map. I didn't even put that together.
I ran down below. I don't even see this.
Yeah, I, I, I don't have a good token for that.
I was trying to find one. But yeah, it's coming towards
the ship as you speak. Dune probably would have chimed
in at this point too, as it's getting close enough to almost,
you know, it's evident that it's going to land where you are at.
And she goes, my sales might be in danger.
I hear this. And I panic run up to back up to
the deck. Also I can only see Gray on my
screen. But as I'm running up the deck,
I'm going to prepare fireball and just hold it at the ready.
Would that be athletics to catch it?
So Cat, you're holding fireball at the ready.
Could you? Can you see now by the way?
Yes, I can see and there's a shark in the air.
It's on the beach, don't worry. On the beach.
I was like is. This one flying at us, a shark.
Horrifying. Oh, that shark.
Don't, don't worry. About that shark, don't worry
about that shark. Yeah, it's mostly a carcass, by
the way, those two sharks. So And Kyoto.
You said you're getting ready to try and catch this thing as it's
coming at you. Yeah.
Anyone else responding to the dunes cry?
I'm too small to deal with this. I'm fuck, I don't know I could
get I I have the ability to catch missiles but like this
seems big. Pretty big.
What was that Grand Am? I'm several levels away from
being able to turn into a giant eagle, so I'm just going to be
like. It's my back.
Grand Am. Get on.
We'll go stop it. I'd look at him like he's crazy
and then come. On Get on my back.
Come on, get on. It's going to be fine.
He's. Like, not as small as what I am,
but all right, I don't. He snapped.
Big chunky onto a. Cat I'm a small creature, so
shooting on people's shoulders is very different.
Maybe that doesn't work as well. I was thinking I could cast fly
like in reaction, cast fly on me and have someone else go up
there and try to like steer this.
Thing it could be me. That's fine, I was just giving
him the option since it was his map.
Oh, that's true. OK, Valmeyer, get on my back.
Zenora. Zenora.
She's a. Completely wrong character, not
even one of mine not. Even yours.
Not even mine, I. Feel bad at this Zenora.
Get that in my back I have a Nosebleed.
OK, I climb on the brawls back. All these different faces are
just flashing through your mind. I cast the fly on myself and I
tap my heels together and I think a happy thought and I
float and I zoom off to go intercept the thing.
Lie you want to send that if you have it display.
I could cast the Leomon's Tiny Hut and we could all just get
inside, but but that would be a dune.
We need to get her sails like safe essentially or pulled up or
whatever but couldn't she do that?
I just posted it basically gives me a 60 feet.
Is a dune a creature dash? Dash.
Aduni, can you raise your sails? Wait, yes.
So upon what is the same? How far away is this thing?
You're looking at it coming closer.
You're it's within 30 feet at this point.
Hey, Josh. Yeah.
Is Aduni a creature? Well, possibly.
So that was gonna be my question too.
Oh shit, I just. Thought about that.
Would she be a? Creature in like in regards to
like spells. Yeah.
Absolutely. She's living.
She's no longer an object. Is she willing?
Is she willing so? And she says let me help you and
she cast invisibility and touches Aduna.
Aduna would would much appreciated what did that do.
She feels the shimmer across her hall.
You can kind of get the sense of what she felt, but.
So. Any creature I touch, it becomes
invisible until the spell ends, and it's a concentration spell
up to an hour if I cast this basically the third level spell.
So that means two people can also become invisible with me.
Or. I would probably, yeah, yeah,
'cause I want my concentration, so I would include myself.
Right, so you're going to do yourself in a dune are.
All of your plans as convoluted. And.
But the way what's the what's the purpose of making her
invisible, though? That's that's.
Happening OH. Something's coming towards her.
She's just asked for help. She goes help, you know, and so
she's the biggest target. So if we make her invisible,
then it's going to be harder to attack.
Yeah, the the map has disadvantage at landing on the
deck. As I'm running up the steps back
to the top deck, Adune just disappears underneath me and I
just trip and flop into the stairs and then start thumping
down them. Yeah.
Wait with the people inside of Dune?
Yeah, they would become visible, right?
Yeah, I know you would be able to see literally everyone else.
We. Just we just see cat just eat
shit. Yeah, sorry guys.
The only people that I haven't heard from were Wisteria and
Grand Dam I think on what they were doing necessarily.
I was gonna I was going to reach down and touch a dune and cast
gashes form but if she goes invisible before that happens.
You have disadvantage on doing that.
I'm just, no, I'm just going to. If she turns into.
A gas, all of you fall down. No, no, because it says so.
The reason I was asking if she's a creature is because it says
you transform a willing creature you touch along with everything
it's wearing and carrying. Oh, I like that a lot better.
Into a misty cloud for the duration and it's concentration
up to an hour. Up to an hour, OK and the.
Only other thing both like down to like go touch a dune and then
it's like who? The only thing that I an.
Invisible gas. She's now extra deadly.
The only thing I had question wise above that was So what
level these were being cast at. I I I seen fly but I haven't
seen the other two displayed yet.
So if you if you could display those both I I'd appreciate it
just so that I have them to so. Yeah, Gash's form would be a
third level spell. I don't know, but I don't know
who like. Everyone else except for except
for rural and I are on the ship. Yeah, so would she go invisible
and then? That's the question.
What level were were you casting that spell out there?
Shia. A three?
Also a three? What components were needed for
both of yours, if any? I'm going to use my.
I'm going to reach up and touch my necklace that I got.
At that time. From home.
Watching the shit show Grand Am, you realize around your neck
there is a new piece of jewelry in the shape of a torque, if you
know what I'm referring to. Yeah, OK, that seems to be on
everyone else's neck in the same colour.
Just realizing for the first time as you're watching the shit
show. So how about yourself there
Shia? Is there any of the other
materials needed? Yeah, but I thought the a
spellcaster eliminates the materials the if you use your.
Focus. Yeah, Yeah.
OK. I was just, I'm, it was more of
a curiosity for myself and what was what was transpiring at all.
Yeah, you're good. It's been a, it's been a while
since I've been asked something that specific.
I know she has a spell focus. I would assume that that's like,
I don't know, I haven't. Yes, she has a spell focus and I
have not written it down. I can't find it, but she has a
spell focus and would have automatically grabbed that.
OK, is. There a reason not to use the
spell focus? Or is it just like the ability
to grab it? There's certain spells that
can't that won't let you use a spell focus instead.
Yeah, but also understand if you've got a spell focus and not
like a component pouch, if somebody were to purpose
purposefully take it from you, you're just a guy.
Yep, you're just a chicken. Or just a chicken.
If it if it requires a material component, if it's just like
verbal and semantic, you don't really have to worry about it
otherwise. But if it requires a material
component then you could be shit out of luck if you don't have
components and there's certain spells that are like the
components are required. Yep, and certain builds that are
specifically designed around stealing that shit.
Yeah. I will go first.
Will the both of those are also touch or?
Yeah, yes. OK, So what I'm going to need is
an initiative between the two of you.
So which spell goes? On touches the deck first.
Right, working my way down through it. 1622.
Oh, so it goes invisible right before you're trying to touch it
with Syria, But I assume you can feel the wood and such below you
or know of the wood below you because you're still standing on
something and touch. It so she she sees with Syria
also going down to touch it. We like both go down to touch at
the same time and she like touches it and then does that
embarrassing like oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, you you did you want
to. You want, you can go ahead.
Wait, you're going to throw some.
You're going to. You're going to put some.
Like where did she go? And I'm like.
Cats falling, falling down the stairs.
I'm like oh shit, like dad really didn't think through this
one. Wait, wait, wait.
So should I still try? So toucher.
Yeah, Yeah, you. I think yours is better.
Yours is better. I'm gonna like, panic and like,
slap her, like slap my hand down and then I'll cast gashes for
him. All right.
Thank you for that. Yeah, Adune is definitely
accepting and willing of any help that could be had here.
And now we are silent but deadly.
Yeah. So do we all turn into gas and
can we see each other? Do you all turn into all
incomporeal? Creatures.
Or I think right. Oh, we have a flying speed of 10
feet. Yeah, and you can unoccupy enter
unoccupied spaces. So I was going to.
Say, would we know this just offhand, that she can now fly as
a gaseous form? I don't know.
I, I think you guys would all just be very confused at what's
going on exactly. You guys would probably lose all
sense at the time of turning into gas as well.
You know, you wouldn't have taste, touch, smell, hearing
nothing. You'd just be gassed.
Can't talk either. Yeah, it.
There's no talking, there's just gas.
You're not even controlling. Her.
Knowing. I was going to turn to A and.
Says and then. To translate like this is a
really cool spell. I might have to learn it.
You just hear. Another sound.
Just what is happening? So Zenora and Rarl, you guys are
flying towards it seconds before you know it's hitting the deck.
Probably Zenora being on the back of where I'll glance back
to a dune aid to check on on it and realize there's just a cloud
of glass gas there now, including your friends are gone.
It's just gas. Over to my shoulder.
I'm going to tell Yell out to Zenora.
Be like, OK, all we have to do. I do wait.
Do we understand this isn't a creature?
What's that? The giant incoming object.
The paper airplane. Do we know it's not a creature,
or do we know it's, or are we kind of up in the air?
You haven't seen it act as a creature.
Like, I still don't know. So I guess over my shoulder to
Zenora, I'll be like, all right, the others will probably back us
up with a long range missile support.
We're going to go beat the shit out of it.
Ready. Can I like perception check to
see if I can tell what this is? What's your passive?
Because you've got. 12. You are pretty sure it's a
flying piece of giant flying piece of paper.
All right, yeah. So now I'm confident I can catch
this. All righty.
I mean, it's doesn't seem that heavy, but it's.
Cool, I can. I can also catch projectile
things. So true.
So oh. Yeah.
Are you going to instruct Raul what to do or?
I'll assist in whatever way I can.
Just line it up so it's coming right at me so that I can grab
it. OK, I grab you off of my
shoulders and hold you Simba pose style in front of me
because I don't need my hands to fly.
I'm just super man up there. Yeah, as I as I line up the shot
and I use my action to assist. I would say that would get you
advantage Zenora for trying to catch the projectile.
This is going to go really badly.
OK so the way deflect missiles normally works is like you just
reduce the damage and if you reduce it to zero you catch it
and can throw it again. Would this be more just like a
dexterity saving throw or something like that to try to
catch this? Reduce the damage eh 'cause it
would have to be trying to hit you to inflict damage.
Yeah, it has to be like the idea that it's coming at me to
inflict damage to deflect missile it versus the idea of
just trying to catch it with like a deck saving throw or
something. Is this paper menacing?
Does it have the the characters from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
coming out of it as it approaches me?
No, but you do notice the very first thing besides it being,
you know, I don't know, the same size of the ship that you came
off of almost. Cool.
A chunk missing out of it with looks like two hand impressions
in it and I just kind of estimated here and rolled too
high, but that would be 30 damage.
OK. You can do it, Sonora.
Yeah, I literally physically can't prevent that because I do
AD 10 + 12 so. Full confidence.
Do it. Well, it's going to hit me no
matter. What?
1222, period. I mean, here's the thing, you
could catch it and still take a little damage.
This is true. Or you can jump on it and write
it down. Yeah, that too.
Yeah, Stevens is like, no matter what, I can like catch it.
It's the idea of if I reduce to zero, I could use a free, I
could use a key point to throw it again.
But yeah, no, the idea is is like just taking it down.
All right, let's see how much damage I reduce to myself 17.
That's pretty good. I'd say.
Yeah, so I take what, 13? Yeah, cool.
I'll take that. That's fine.
I can tank that easy. And now I have the paper
airplane. I had no idea the paper
airplanes were so deadly. Oh, trust me, there are things
you would think that are not deadly that are.
Do you want to describe it or do you want me?
To you do it because I feel like Sonora is in a weird situation
that I have no idea how to describe this.
Fair enough. You are outstretched with your
in front of rural held Simba style as described and as it's
coming towards you, you have him just get slightly below the
point of it to try and line it up like you talked about and
grab just at the the bottom edge and the side edge and swing it
around to try and swing it off course again, succeeding with it
landing. I've been imagining it coming in
from the southeast, and if you're redirecting it, it's
probably going to be going to that to the more southerly
direction or the easterly direction.
Is there a direction you'd like to choose?
Can I try to just send it to where it's going to land on the
beach instead of on a where a dune was from what I can
remember right? Which which beach, though, was
the? So are we talking more in this
direction or more in this direction?
This side because there's not as much fuck shit over there.
All right, I, I, it's fair enough.
I think you would have at least bearings of minds to do so.
So you are able to basically redirect its course, not knowing
that you could. If you were to grab onto it, it
would have pulled both you and roller along with it along for
the ride as if you were grabbing onto a Raging Bull and you let
go as the edge of it along the whole side of it brushes against
you. Luckily most of it is curved
inward from its fold, but the last parts of it being not
folded are the straight edge just dragging across your face.
Just this nice. That'll leave a scarf.
Where'd you get their battle scarf?
From a pig or a pair of plates, which is a real nasty cut.
Worst paper cut I've ever had. And it just splashes into the
sand, missing the gaseous form of a dune.
You said That can last up to an hour though, so you guys are
floating there like. Well, it's concentration up to
an hour. So, yeah, right, right.
I didn't. I didn't think you.
I don't know if you're dropping it as soon as you see that the
paper airplanes landed in the sand.
Yeah, once it seems safe, I'll drop it.
OK. I would also drop my
invisibility. The invisible gas I.
Try to get. My way back to my feet.
Reforms and everybody else takes their original shapes well,
gasping, especially Zenora after redirecting that.
Fuck. Next time hold me a little bit
better, please. No, it's your fault.
Holding you, I was holding you directly forward.
Yeah, it's just not as much stability on the feet, you know,
being held up. Yeah, sorry.
Is it, is it bad? I'm just like pointing at my
face. Oh, you're bleeding shit, Yeah.
How much of it of your health was it?
It wasn't like a lot. I have 52 hit points so.
So was wasn't even. I'm at 39 now so I'm I'm fine.
It was a paper cut. It was a paper cut, just a
really long one across my face. Yeah, it's just a paper cut.
It's not the big deal. Have.
You ever had a paper cut? I was.
No, I don't touch paper. That's cool.
I got I got siblings for that. Yeah, they do.
They touch things. They do, yeah.
They painted all the nudies for him.
They did that wouldn't would be just over a quarter though.
I kind of, I kind of want to make it a, a, a permanent thing
for you that. 'D be cool.
Yeah, I'm down for that. That'd be funny.
It's it's a also a, a bit of a God toy and it's a I'll let you
I'll let you choose exactly how it lands across your face
though, if you want. Choose your own scar.
Yeah, I, yeah, I'll figure it out.
I'll figure out the scarring for that.
It's going to take a little bit to scar anyway, so.
Right. Did the DM just increase your
damage just so you could get a cool scar?
No. Damage.
Don't worry, no damage. Grand Dam's going no damage,
just scar. Grand Dam's going to.
Go get his map. All right.
You see that the, the, Yeah, the ladder hasn't been retracted
from getting down on the beach. Immediately go down onto the
beach to go over to the giant paper airplane that's starting
to lose some of its shape with the, with the water.
That's that. It's touching.
No, gotta save it. I feel like it was a message.
If if druid craft can put out a fire, can I remove water with
druid craft? I'm not familiar with that one
as well. It's it's it's Druid
prestidigitation. Basically.
OK, I see. So kind of.
Clean, cause a harmless sensory effect, predict the weather,
make flowers blossom, seed pods open, stuff like that.
And clean or no, you can't. No, the cleaning stuff is Presto
dissertation. Right.
Light or snuff out a candle of torch or small campfire creates
the sounds of animals or the smells of like a skunk or
something. If I can put out a fire, can I?
I'm in some. What can I put out?
Can I remove some water? I want to.
I want to say yes so bad. I do.
I think that it would be applicable in this situation
too. I'm surprised they didn't add
that particularity in there. There's the control water spell.
Obviously, but there's the the prestidigitation text which it
seems to be leaning towards like you guys are talking about.
Also clarifies that you can clean or dirty.
AI think it was a cubic foot of of space at a time and it's a
canned trip so you could spend some time.
You could then I would, I would say that you could quote UN
quote clean, right. You could clean the water off as
in. Prestigitation and Druid craft
are two different spells though, right?
Yeah, they are. With the only intent being
though of of of what you're talking about, right?
Unless he unless he has mending. Yeah, I don't have, I don't have
mending that is. Yeah, I thought, I just thought
about it for like they're talking.
About he'll just. Drag the map out.
It's. And when I'm, and when you're
talking about snuffing a fire, that's introducing.
So you would only assume that you could, you know, do the
opposite of not introducing. Or it could be the removal.
Of. Moisture content.
Yeah, yeah. So I, I would, I, I would rule
ultimately that you could, you know, just with prestigitation,
with time, slowly at this, I don't know if you're spending
all of your time there or if while they're getting ready to
embark. So I think everybody's about
ready to thank you, shove off at this point.
Yeah, they were talking about probably while you're doing
that, pick it. Up and bring it in.
Probably like hold. It and use it to like since it's
big enough I bet the boat can see it since the boat now has
eyes apparently and he just point to where we're going.
Well. In the main room is like
wallpaper. Looking at it, the DNA would go.
I think I understand what you're trying to say, but it's still
kind of rather hazy for me as I didn't have eyes on the journey
here. I have these senses, you know,
of, of, of the water around me and such, but it's I'm not I, I,
I before, so can we. Point in the direction.
I used to be an elf before being the ship here and I, I used to
I, I didn't know what site was, but as, as I, as you're
learning, I, I didn't know. I didn't know what it was for a
probably a shorter amount of time than I was alive.
But my ship here that I inhabit have had has had some other
senses and I where I came from was easier to navigate in
shorter distances. But these dentists that we're
dealing with are are quite vast. Can Shia roll an investigation
to investigate the map to figure out if she could like talk a
dune through? Wait, a do name?
Were you blind? Yes, dearie.
As in life. No, not as an elf.
I was not blind. I was blind as a ship.
You could not see because she no longer had eyes to see.
Yes. Basically, OK, she can't get off
that. That was multiple things at
once. What was that, Chia?
Oh. Nothing, I was just making a
remark. Oh, OK.
Let me know if you want me to roll.
For trying to figure out the direction towards and everything
and you don't have navigation skills.
No. Let's use perception then.
So investigation. This is the goblin.
You could use investigation and the Cobalt is standing up
against the rails. Cobalt.
That's. Right.
Yeah, we definitely want to use investigation.
All right, I'm going to force my hand on that one.
It would be, really. Fun to just pick a direction and
go. Yeah, but I think the captain
would or the other captain would be angry.
Yeah, we have a destination to reach.
Blood drips from your nose with a Here's my 29.
Is that me? I see two.
Oh, there. Oh my goodness.
They're all through the other one.
Yeah, it's confusing sometimes. I was like where?
I was like clicky. I was like why isn't this?
Working. With the 19, you would
definitely know that you guys with With the orientation and
direction on the map, you guys had gone more or less E bit S
but mostly N from your position only because of the.
You say EA bit S mostly north. Yes, if you look at the map
you'll understand what I'm saying.
Oh, the handout map, Yeah. Yeah.
East a bit. South listen.
Mostly N, so we're going in a circle.
That's not how that works out, no.
It's more of like a. Why are these so tiny for me?
You can zoom in. Please get bigger there we.
Go yeah, once you open it up as a handout, then just click on it
and it'll open up as its own window.
OK. Yeah.
So. We are at Shondar's Island,
everyone would know for sure. Yeah.
So we have to travel southeast. Is it under journal?
Sorry guys. I.
Haven't it is journal. OK, got it.
Yeah, Journal. And then I think it's in the
Alleyopolis one and it is map Taurus globe northwestern
hemisphere. Oh.
She's so much. Okie dokie, so he said.
Son of a bitch. That is not what he said.
He said. I got the motherfucking don't
have. Mouse So we got a sale South,
West and then northwest or east. Southeast, then NE, Yeah, north,
northeast. So there's this little raccoon
paw print, and that's where we're at.
That's your home, home country. And you have the Crystal Tower
on the bottom and E is to the right on this map.
Right, you're. You're looking.
For Shandar's island. I know, but it's all.
It's slurry. It's the volcano on the far left
of the raccoon. Paw print way smaller.
We're in the raku. Raku yes.
I was gonna say, if you click on it and it gets really big, it
doesn't seem very pixelated. OK, so we are, where are we at?
We are on Farmers Island. It's the active volcano in the
ocean. Yeah, trying to get. 2 Socrates.
OK. I see now.
I apologize. Audio stuff is different than
visual stuff. And I have a disconnection and
so that I put visual stuff in front of my face.
Then I lost all of my audio stuff.
All right, Sweet, sweet. So South of the dragon.
Yeah, we can do this. Let's.
Go. So S Southeast.
Sorry. Cat, do you want to go for it?
I'm like, yeah, let's go SE and I run to the helm and just stand
on the wheel. All right.
I'll start shoving off, I think we're missing 1 crew mate that
did stepped off and her form goes over to the rail where you
were at. Yeah, he would be rejoining them
as soon as she basically shot, but yeah, she didn't know where
that was. And you would probably, you
know, bring the map up at least that you've cleaned up to this
point where you guys are AT and actually what you noticed too,
even after you've so how how have you compressed the map, I'm
assuming to pick it up and move with you?
He would fold it as small as he could possibly get it.
I don't have. Like a origami?
How big? Don't fold the map, roll the map
you got to. Follow the map if.
It's small enough he would tightly bind it around his
walking staff. You would have to fold it
several times for that to to be effective because this thing is
we're talking. I'm just, I'm just getting some
general measurement here. Oh, fine.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. I got a quick way of doing this
like I'm. Going to have to come up with.
580 for. That.
Stephanie 580 feet across ADD. We.
Have the ring of resizing. That'd be only you there she.
All right, I see him struggling and I can hop down and say, hey,
you need help with that. And yeah, 'cause she is now
whatever accent I decide, apparently we'll say it's a
noble accent. I was like, no, I remember she
used to sound very different. Now she's like, slap a knee.
Like, here we go, guys over. OK, She, she comes down and
yeah, yeah, something. And it goes, oh let me, let me.
Grab. Watch this Watch this cool trick
and she grabs the map. Do you allow her grand am?
I can inspire the fuck out of you, so let me touch it.
Let. Me touch it so you you grab the
edge of the map she and lift it up in your hand and as you do
so, it resizes to a reasonable size hold for you to be able to
hold with two hands in front of you.
And you realize upon touching it probably and looking at you
know, you you probably in the process of going South SE
southwest you you're able to touch it and zoom in in
particular areas. You realize as you touch it, it
moves around a bit. Oh.
That's cool. It's going to be so good, guys.
I snapped my fingers at my siblings.
Take this, take this. Start making some copies of
different important areas of the maps and we'll start selling
them as an Atlas. If I if it's out of my
possession, does it then? Doesn't it resize back to the
large? Correct.
Yeah, if you can't take it from me, that's this is where I was
going to say like this only works.
Yes. Yeah, I mean I and you could
like scan it. I could work with you guys to
scan it while we're shipping while we're I was.
Thinking if we could like find the wall somewhere on the dune
to like mount it to then you could have like just a giant
wall map. It's literally the length of the
dune. Oh, never mind she's I did.
Not realize the paper. Was that?
Fucking well. What if we fold?
It up. Right.
Wait, hold on. What if we fold it up to a
proper wool size? And then if you can zoom in,
maybe you can like scroll. I don't think that's how it'll
work at full size. No, it only does that with the
ring of resizing is what we just tried.
Or you will it. Like.
It's much less cool now that it's small.
That's OK. OK, cool.
We're just gonna have to sniff her with folding it.
She rolls it up. She does not fold it.
She rolls the map and places it in her bag.
I guess. I just, I like, I I was sitting
here like trying to figure out how big a paper airplane would
have to be to do like the same damage as like a Max damage
fireball. Yeah, how?
How big would it be? I don't know.
That's fucking big. OK, we'll see. 80 feet.
Hey, I was guesstimating, right? Yeah.
What? What is it the a dune is what
size class What gargantuan, right?
Yeah, easily, because. It's gonna be it's.
Gonna be 20 feet at least A Yeah.
I mean, you're close because I mean, a fully grown ancient.
No, not not ancient, but a great verm.
Yeah, that's about right. Ford D10 smack you in the face.
So I mean it. All right.
That's fun. So much fun.
I did say great verb. I did say great verb.
Not not ancient or, you know, smaller.
So yeah. These items are very powerful.
I Oh, also for those of you who are not here, we came across the
chest full of gold about the 9500 gold.
We haven't done anything with it yet, but I think we should use
it to get back that giant coin someone had.
While you're talking. Thought about the chest.
And and such too adunae's shoving off from shore once Shia
and. I was going to say, let's get
our ship together. Yeah, come.
On. You leave.
And Grand Am are on board. So y'all are from here or you've
been here a while? Nope, none of us are from here.
We've been here for a little bit, some of us.
I was just wondering what it was.
Like I don't even know where here is.
That's what we just kind of appeared.
I appeared on a dune so. I.
I walked here. I I just.
Want. I believe it's.
Sprinkles is wait wait. Guys, he's trying to talk.
It's just really soft. Oh fuck.
OK, there we go. I just wanted to know what it
was like in Titty Sprinkles. Is it nice?
Oh, it is, it is. It's very lovely.
It's a great town. It's nothing.
What the name applies. There's not enough sprinkles
there for the name. There's there's no titties nor
sprinkles to be seen. Then I don't, but good people.
I'm less excited to make a visit then.
Right. Oh, I just miss that.
Oh what the fuck is that? Oh, nothing, don't worry about
it. Excuse you, Sir.
Excuse me. What?
Excuse me? Don't worry about it.
Happening, Mom. Behind no attention to the man
behind the curtain. Oh, we're on a boat.
Yeah. So you guys are started on the
on a boat in a direction. I have some options here, one
through 6 and four is no longer an option.
Mike, 'cause I saw it. 4 encounters.
However, I I wanted to at least give you guys some agency,
especially at the time that we're at and ask what you would
prefer and Timothy references. Timothy.
Who's Timothy? Oh, you're talking about No, no,
no, Timothy. Where?
Where's Timothy? I don't think he was able to
make it with you. If you remember, he he'd said
that. No, no, no, no.
I got him released from Shondar to come with us.
Yeah, we did. We got Timothy to come with us.
Yes, how about I say. Timothy's gonna become my.
Squire. It's the last.
Thing on my experience point tracker.
Come on. Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Somebody's paying attention. All right, did I get I got
Gulliver. Oh shit, I got to go back over
to the other map. Give me a second here.
What I was explaining though is there there are five other
encounters that I have prepped for the sea.
You may have the captain roll for it.
If they get a four, they can re roll and get one of the other
encounters because you already had four.
Or like I was saying, you can choose between a hard.
A and I'm I'm being very kind here because of the time and and
everything. A trivial, much more of a
role-playing scenario or a deadly encounter.
Deadly. Deadly I'm.
Going to say that definitely the role play will be the longest.
Yeah, I was going to say the role play will be the longer
heart. I don't know how it's going to
happen. I am level one.
Bring me the sushi. Don't worry, don't worry, you'll
be fine. My my character in the other
campaign, Perma, died the very first time she was introduced,
so I have a great track record here.
It was in your dreams though, that was fine.
That that was in the dream world, but still.
Not filling me with confidence that I will in.
Fact. You're gonna be fine.
You'll be fine. Obliterated by a cannonball.
Oh yeah. I vote Dudley.
Dudley. When the Kraken shows up, I
vote. We shoved the map and.
It's we already killed the Kraken.
Yeah, but what? Is the pet.
No, we didn't kill it. We taint.
We caught it. Oh.
We killed another octopus thingy.
Hello Anise, how are you? There's been many octopus slain
in this campaign too. Many tentacles.
This is starting to become questionable, Yeah.
Well, can we? If I ever finish a full recap,
you'll understand why. Can we go with a a little taste
nugget and then and then maybe start our next session with
Deadly? Deadly now.
That would be fair, and considering that it would, it
does take two days to reach Socrates, as you know, and Adune
would chime in of such too. Takes 2 days with a taste
nugget. You're referring to a, I'm
assuming the trivial encounter, yeah.
I mean, you guys can outvote me, that's fine, but she does.
Of that mind, or are we? Starting starting to disappear
in front of your guys eyes. You're not really sure why She's
like a semi transparent being. You know, every once in a while
it'll like blink out and come back in.
So you don't know if Shia would be there if you did intend a
deadly encounter and Shia would love to be there.
Coin flip. Coin Flip.
Coin flip. So evens are odds?
Yeah, evens are odds. Odd is.
Yeah. Soon.
Are we in danger? What did we?
I rolled A3. That would be, we decided, a
dead deathly encounter. Yay.
All right, Daddy Shark is after us.
I run to. The dad and.
Now the dad came for us. At that dude to do.
I mean, we killed baby. Shark.
We killed Mama Shark. I mean, uh oh, makes sense.
It's the mega dog. It's the Meg.
We're in the movie. Oh no.
Oh, quite crap. Be quiet, Josh, you can hear.
US. We just fueling all of his
ideas. I was like, wait a second, I
haven't even considered that maybe No, I'm just kidding.
Yeah, he sure. Can no.
So giving everyone the opportunity to do some sort of
reaction of sorts. A dune would go there's there's
something of of danger. I feel like I feel uneasy
approaching and in it has scared most of the fish away.
I've I've been lovely watching them go by.
I've seen this play. Wisteria and I, we look at each
other at once and then we both like lock hands and start
spinning around like full formation.
Glitter starts sparkling and like it's like down.
We're like, I thought I visualized your mind and I
thought you guys wanted. Part of it so when you said we
like lock eyes, was Siri's going to look at you and like kind of
like twitch her hand be like should should I do the thing
again that's. I said.
Like. We I was also on the same thing.
I was like, do we? Do we do the thing?
What's the thing I. Mean.
Oh, you turn into a gaseous form.
I can't do gaseous form on a dune all.
Right. But if it's if it's Cat, then I
don't see it. So no, we've all turned into gas
now because all of us are on a dune and she's carrying all of
us. Yeah, and as you cast it up from
the depths, you see a shadow. Go ahead.
Real quick, Josh, so I'm going to touch my necklace and cast it
again. I didn't ask you last time, but
what do I roll? Roll AD 100.
OK, twice actually. Would be. 100 twice.
Yeah, the first time was for the first spell that we forgot.
About OK. Yeah, no.
Are you sure? Are you?
Do you want to do? That keep going good.
Still good? You're still good.
OK, everybody's guess nothing went wrong.
Cat looks. Around nervously, are you?
Wild magic. Are you wild or within the
Force? Can't translate you?
Are you a wild magic? User No.
No. No, but you can sense a bit of
wild magic has been used. You can sense chaos as afoot.
It's not wild magic because like because like in the other in the
other world. I'm a wild magic user and I love
her. She's fun.
No, I'm not. I just have my spell casting
focus. Has wild magic associated with
it. Yeah.
So in one of my campaigns we had a sling that was a wild magic
sling, so. That was funny.
So The thing is with Syria is an Elodrin and I am from the Fay
Wild. Oh hell yeah.
I'm. Into it.
I'm here for it. I would, I would.
Think it's different there? Was going to be actually, you
know what I know, I know where your your thoughts are and I
love the alarm, but I'm going to need a initiative role from
everyone. Oh.
Damn, remember to click on yourself first.
Yes, on your token. Wait, what?
Oh, if you click on your token, it'll actually propagate.
So should I roll again? OK, wait.
Mysteria 15-O Cat Night. Time.
How do I do an initiative roll? Click on your token.
Sorry. No worries, touch yourself.
Touch yourself. Done and done.
And then roll initiative, OK. Click on my token and where is
roll initiative at? On your character sheet.
Oh, OK, Josh, before the magic of turning into mist happened,
Kira, you said what we would do is, you know, kind of reaction
to DNA. Kira went and assumed the
chimera stance. OK.
And I'm missing. Oh, I got it.
I got it here. It came through as a different
role. There we go. 21 for yourself.
The only one. There it is.
Yeah, at 17. Wow, of course now is the time
that rural rolls bad on initiative with his plus 11.
I know. Right.
I mean I have. A blue.
I still got a 15. Kind of.
Like a four. I was like.
Oh my God, the one time in. Grand Am's day, let me tell you.
I don't know how this has gotten to be where it's at.
Even I I rolled in that 20 on initiative.
OK, I rolled. In that 20 on initiative.
Got 21. Good job.
You get to go one before me. I know, right?
By the way, I rolled A3. Total Oh mine didn't register to
my token. I see that I'm I'm figuring, I'm
figuring it out a little bit here.
If you wouldn't mind repeating it, it would be helpful.
I think Rural. Mine was a 20 so thank.
You and rural was the last one that I've got to enter here on
the side of things for some reason.
He has a 15 on his. Yep.
And I'll I'm now on a black screen too because I
accidentally speed down rule 20. Oh, you might have to.
You might have to zoom out and then find it one second and I
can. Oh, shit.
I just made it work here. Oh, you got it.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Nice.
So with KIRO at the top of the order is in order directly
following and rural I mean cat do I hear the daddy do I hear
daddy shark song? I hear daddy shark go on you
dad. Can you hear another sort of
shark song? Going of modem and bursting
forth are an array of your favorite things.
I fucking knew it. Holy shit what the right up?
I'm below deck. I don't see nothing.
Wait, no, you you see everything wrong gap.
We see all, we see all things. So look.
At this. KIRO are.
You. Are you doing anything there as
tentacles burst to the surface, a ray of them, almost an
uncountable amount of tentacles. So is this before I turn into a
vaporous gas? No, unfortunately everyone is
currently a vaporous gas amongst these kind of tentacles.
OK, so I believe let's. Go right, you can't do shit.
Well, go to. Go to go, go into its heart,
into its heart and then UN gas yourself so that we all peer
into. Its heart when it has a heart
attack I. I believe he.
Brutal he not 20. Intelligence right there.
Doesn't have the ability to ungasify himself, but he could
move. I can move. 10 feet.
Yeah. Just stay there until it
ungasses. Unless what's?
The most of the. Things.
I'm gonna find the most advantageous position.
Within 10 feet. Within 10 feet of me that that I
can actually, you know, assist in killing whatever this is.
OK, hold that thought because it is the Nora's turn.
If that was all you're doing well in my gash form, we can't
attack, right? We cannot attack, no.
You can't do shit. It is concentration.
I know what you're talking about, if that's what you're
trying to interject with. No, my question is so does would
a do name rule initiative? But Dune is not the one holding
concentration on it. It's.
You no, I know, but. She's she's more asking about
the turn order I think and. Yeah, yeah.
I feel like we're in a soft weird half initiative because
nobody can technically do anything.
Well, and then so my other question is because it says you
can't talk or manipulate like move objects, but you can fly.
Oh, and so I was asking if you can't talk, but we're still
aware of what's going on, Can we think?
And if we can think, can we still communicate with a dune?
Yeah, that's a good question 'cause I just had ideas so.
Yeah, our Targ, our our Torgs let us send a mental messages,
right? So is that is that an option?
Yeah, if we have the torques, can't we still talk amongst
ourselves too, right? I can go back to Kiddo.
If you were doing yes, I would. I would, since seeing all these
tentacles arise up Adoni, bring up the guns.
Fuck you. Well, isn't she also?
She's also gas. Yeah.
Yeah, she. Would do the same thing.
Which is why we're. Yeah, I know.
I know. Well, you know, 'cause all I can
do is assume my stance and basically first thing I say is
Dooney ready the guns. All right.
Well, moving on to Zenora then. Yep.
All right. I float my 10 feet closest to
the nearest tentacle and hold an action of fucking punching the
shit out of it for whenever I'm not fucking gas.
I can't do shit and all I know how to do is punch.
OK, remember that for me, and then it would be Cat.
We don't have magic. Jesus.
OK so I did want to say that my character token is in the lower
deck and I can't see the water or wherever this is actually
happening, but I want to move. To.
The closest side of the ship where the creature is and I will
just ready a spell. We can't cast spells either.
Nope, Nope. I can't talk.
You need to verbalize. Your abilities.
Nope, target can't attack or cast spells.
Last sentence of the spell. But you can use class abilities.
Like class abilities, while in the form of a misty cloud, the
target can't talk or manipulate objects, and any objects it was
carrying or holding can't be dropped, used, or otherwise
interacted with. The target can't attack or cast
spells. Yeah, so you can still use your
class abilities like bonus action, form of dread, bonus
action, rage, a rage, yes, angry.
Cloud. I'm so angry I'm a cloud but
this? Could be a pro.
Strat if we can. If we can uncloud able.
To take damage. True, and just ready the
chromatic orb to toss down into the water for whenever we are no
longer made of gas because. Go.
Ahead to clarify, down at the water, you mean at the mass of
tentacles, right? Yes, Oh my goodness.
OK, I can see now. Yes, into the mass of tentacles.
OK. Oh, I see that.
Just wanted to be clear. Yep.
All right, you're holding on to that action.
Just don't forget it's the creatures turd, it rages, it's
tentacles through the mass of gas.
You guys feel odd as tentacles introduce themselves into your
gaseous forms like. Oh touch me.
EW, we. Should be recording this we
could make. Millions.
I I didn't, I didn't say yes. Oh creature.
You're. Not there?
Yeah. Bit forward.
Take Me Out to dinner first. Damn.
You never thought we could. Suction cups felt quite like
that anyways. Oh.
God, oh blessed. You were going to say to you.
Oh, I don't know. You're welcome where it is your
turn though if that was. All are those tiny squares 5
feet. What's tiny squares the these
out here that you can kind of see?
Yes. Can you show me what 10 foot
movement looks like? 2 squares?
Oh my Jesus. 10. Feet is not even like the width
of a tentacle like. Tentacle.
The width of a tentacle is like maybe at the base, the width of
a tentacle is like 10 feet, but like it's like 7 feet, Yeah, if
you go to the measure. Six feet my my corrections got
got it wrong. You got to make sure to get that
earth in there. Yep, you're you're a gas
currently. Yes, yes, yes, I'm aware.
With somehow wisteria? Wait, Rural and Wisteria both
have a 15 whose dexterity is higher?
Dexterity. Mine's a 17.
So then hers would be higher because I think he said that he
has like a 14. That's right.
I'm put you at 14 for initiative just to even it all out there.
So wisteria's on that if this. Is if this is a sorry Josh, if
this. Is.
A. Our concentration spell and this
creature did nothing to us. Currently.
We could just leave.
We could just float away. We could just float away, float
away at 10 feet every so. That's why I was asking.
Yeah, and. I know I'm trying to find her
steps or. We teleport into the center of
the creature and let loose with all of our cannons.
I kind of did have that thought too, exactly to fly into the
creature and then meat drop concentration and her just alien
burst out of the creature. Yeah, I like that.
Take forever to even just be inside of it though.
Well. We don't know where the new
center of the creature is. Is it 10 feet down or is it
further than 10 feet down? We have no fucking clue.
We have an out. That's a decent amount of time.
You just go 10 feet down every 10 seconds.
Nobody distract me and I'm just sitting here going we're gas,
we're gas, we're gas, we're gas. So 60 feet, you said 10 seconds,
10 feet and 10 seconds. So then it's 6 seconds.
Yeah. 6 seconds, so we can go 10 feet every six seconds.
Yeah, 60 feet a minute. Yeah, 600 feet in an hour.
So OK. That do.
You need that. Sounds.
Better of a Dune I. Didn't hear any of that.
What stat do you need of a dune? I finally fucking found it.
Right now, none. OK.
But if we do this, probably strength.
Yeah, to see if she would. And her gunpowder.
And hit points, yeah. Hit points is pretty high, we're
talking 405. She jumped.
The ship. Yeah, only ship.
She's a big girl. Strength is 18.
It's a + 4. Yeah.
So I have a Thunder wave that is 8 D 8 plus something.
I feel like that's a significant amount of damage potentially.
I don't know if anybody has more.
Oh, is that hurt? Us I can do a lot.
Of it is if you're too close, yeah, that's what I'm saying, is
that like if I kind of like really head down towards like
the mouth or head or something, a dude, I don't know.
Would chime in with I do have about the six cannons and two.
The. Crossbows ballista yes that's
the word ready them all to fire. I think I need help in that
manner. I I don't control the the gas or
the OR the priming of the cannons.
I apologize I could run around myself individually in my form,
but. Well, we can, we don't have to
aim them because we're going to come up in the middle of it.
So if we load them prior then we.
Can't load them prior though because they're gas.
We're all gas. We just.
Keep going. And that's the ultimate question
was initiative is based off of Dexterity, right?
Yes. Much appreciated.
See if I can add 1 here. Yep.
Feel like she has like a -6 to a fucking dexterity not.
Quite little, it's close. Didn't roll it though yet.
Oh fuck. Click over there and it goes
away. Son of a bitch.
I was thinking maybe we because it's an hour and we're kind of
at a standstill. Yeah, Dune is last.
Probably want to pick this up next week.
Oh yeah. It's about 8:00, but we should
get our plan down for whoever's gone.
So my, my, my question was, could we do like a, I'm, I'm
just thinking about logistics and like we have an hour, right?
We can move 600 feet. So I feel like we would be able
to move to the locations and it would be maybe finding like an
investigation role like or a percentile die to say like how
successful we were to get to the location in an hour or to
prepare for what we were intending to do in that hour of
time. Or unless you guys want to act
out the next like what, 10 rounds 6?
Rounds. Yeah.
I could always just. Drop concentration and we could
brawl it out. But.
I mean, I feel like we can, we can probably physically beat
this thing before an hour if we were not gas.
There, Yeah. All we have to do is get to the
end of position. We don't have to hold out the
entire hour. Yeah, yeah.
So that's what I was saying is like, can we roll the C if we
could get to the position like we don't.
Does that make sense? Like 'cause we don't really
know, so it would. Be until we get into the
creature with buy gas visually. Just so that I understand the
the the question right, you were saying a position.
What the the position is to move a dune as well as everyone on
board to a well inside of the creature?
So here's another question I have Josh though, because the
spell says the target, any object it was carrying or
holding can't be dropped, use, or otherwise interacted with.
So when a do name moves, we would all move, right?
Correct. OK.
Yeah, so we all agree as a self. Conscious BLOB.
So that was going to be my next question, which is kind of like
what she was. Kind of, I kind of want to vote
for stop thinking and just hit personally.
Well, no, I just thought it was really, really important thing.
So, Josh, if certain players that might be concentrating on
something right now fail to be with us next week, if they fail
to exist, that means concentration fails to exist,
that means spell doesn't. Exist.
I think we should drop concentration at as the end of
the game just to be sure. Yeah, but shouldn't we just
because I won't I. I will not 6. 100 feet against a
against a leviathan like that probably won't get us far.
Right. If we think about what this
thing's movement speed probably is.
Two is. So if we are collectively this
gaseous form, should there just be two initiative roles, us and
the creature there there? That could be an interpretation,
however, you guys all had an individual movement speed of 10
at the gaseous form which I was allowing you as well as what
we're we're kind of discussing a plan meta hats off here, which I
always allow. But the the real point of
course, in my opinion here, besides getting to where you
want, which seems to be in the creature, is the fact that it
doesn't have any real inlets, if you will, as it doesn't breathe,
no. Orifices.
Well it has orifices, don't get me wrong it it just doesn't
breathe air as a normal thing. It breathes water.
So you there are entrances, if you will.
But I'm I'm trying to figure out right now I think what I'm
saying. Is we would most likely.
Drive like they have like two holes as to what I understand.
That's what I've been trying to figure out where the orifices
are. I can, I can give you guys water
breathing, but orifices aren't necessary if we're gas, right?
They are necessary if you're. OK, that's right.
Because you're gas. But so then wouldn't it just
have gills? It breathes water.
That has been my question.
I can imagine because of all of the fucking Discovery Channel
that I've got, it's got three holes, actually.
I said two originally but it has one which is that they call the
beak where it actually eats from and then two which it breathes
some I I have no idea what those holes are called.
I know what you're talking about though.
But like, they spew water out of them too.
Yeah. Isn't that like a blowhole?
They're. They're called on a whale or a
dolphin, yeah. What are they called?
Siphons.
Thank you.
Let's say my my biology buddy. Yeah.
Regardless, I I would assume we're going into the beak
because it's trying to like, eat us.
Currently it is not it it there are just tentacles above the
water. Got it.
In a technical term, this thing has done nothing hostile to us.
Didn't it just attack? It just brought up some
tentacles and wrapped and tried to wrap them around Adune before
she turned into fucking gas. Adune said she sensed danger.
Yeah. If fish were running, the fish
did run. So.
They got up on the water and ran.
I'll tell you to look real bad. I guess my new question would
be, if you're aiming to go into this, which is the intent that I
heard, what orifice are you trying to enter?
Whatever one we see first. That's a very.
Why would the? Stipends.
Because none of those are evident at this time.
You would have to go below. We would have to find them.
Yeah. As a gas, we don't need to
breathe. The issue is that when we
unturn, if we're in the creature itself, would we need?
Water. Yeah.
Would we drink? A Would it?
Would we drown? B Could we get out in time to or
like we could cast a spell? I can.
Solve water breathing for everyone.
For everyone, yes. What if?
We I have the because I'm going. Like this to do it though.
Yeah, once we turn, I could ready a spell to water.
Breathe everyone, 'cause I can post it, but I have the 10 feet.
Yeah. 10 feet. 10 feet. Turn we have how long?
An hour and. 600 feet. I like where your brain's at.
We blur this thing to the surface while flying up and then
we drop the boat on it. But that would hurt a dune,
right? A dune would, I feel like take a
lot of damage doing that. He's a big girl.
I guess that's up to her. Do you want to burst out of this
thing alien style, or do you want to drop down on it like a
cartoon anvil? Guys can always roll for it and
it can be a a rolly roll a. Rolly roll.
Yeah. Well I just which I want Aduni's
opinion because I want to know what she would want or which she
would think would hurt her less. Well-being inside of a creature
seems fairly constraining for everyone.
Everybody. Does it sometimes?
Aduni's the size is literally if you look at the tentacle.
Yeah, she is the size. To the if we go in this thing
and she becomes the size of this thing.
Like. I feel like that's implosion,
you know, like we wouldn't even need to cast because like the
other thing we have to think about is when is Wisteria's
initiative versus breathing underwater initiative, like when
that cell can be. I mean, everyone can breathe for
like a couple minutes, right? Yeah, well, and and.
Rural. Is the initiative right after
me? And I, yeah, I can breathe
underwater, I think, regardless. I mean, we can vote, but I my
vote, my vote is going to be she has votes going to be to try to
get into this thing. I also.
Vote. Inside.
Yeah, the final. I vote.
To like the alien verse. And if we want to like
investigate, like, OK, it's this orifice.
And then we try to get as like centered into this thing as
possible, then let loose like I, I think that that would be
watering. Gashes form.
We're less dense than the water. Right.
No, don't think too hard, but that's what we've been doing
this entire goddamn time. Is thinking too hard I.
I I also agree and was going to point that out at some point
when you guys tried to, you know, try to go down like.
You're gonna fully wait until it actually was attempted.
That is always my goal. I don't know what.
You're, that's my vote was no more gas.
Let's just fucking punch it. We're going to kill it before an
hour up anyway. It would be quicker for us to
just not do any of this and just attack it.
Level 1. Yeah, 'cause it said.
I just rereading the spell. It says the target can pass
through small holes, narrow openings and even mere cracks,
though it treats liquids as though they were solid surfaces.
Correct. Kind of a nuts.
So should we just have a dune fly really high up a dropper?
Yeah, well, she can fly. Is that?
Plan B dropper. She cannot.
She can fly as a gas. She can't she.
Can fly as a gas. She could technically fly as a
ship. Not yet with.
My assistant. Oh.
I was like we have flown on a wait a second.
I remember specifically flying with a duking so something
changed. I mean, we have established
she's a valid target for both invisibility and the gaseous
form. Right.
I mean, that's smart. So then why don't we?
Why don't we fly, have her fly, and then we just sit there and
shoot cannons out of reach of this thing?
Boom Shakalaka. It sounds great.
All right. Am I?
So are we going up into the air or am I dropping concentration?
Go up into the air first. Yeah, get out of range so it
can't grab us when between when you drop and then when we cast.
Well, 'cause I can't move. Right.
So. She is the very last one.
To do with my turn. Wait, someone's going before me?
Going after me. I rolled in that one with a
three. Oh shoot, for some reason, Yep,
you didn't add in here either. So we can ready actions?
I'm guessing so if we already a spell and this thing drops, then
anytime there's an opportunity like basically we have a
response on opportunity. Basically, yeah, it's like, it's
like the finishing something. Everybody gets around.
So. So then you can shoot the
cannon. Shia, are you moving towards the
cannon? So it sounds like.
Is this thing a beast? It is.
OK, good to know. We'll know it.
It's still, it's still your turn, Shia.
I know. OK.
I'm. You're currently a gas floating
on top of a ship that has yet to move up, but there has been much
quickly transpiring between your cortexes.
OK. So there goes that.
Give. Me a second 12 12D4 it doesn't
sound too. Bad.
You cannot cast spells as a gas. I am aware of that, I am just
trying to figure out what to prep because can't do shit and
if we're flying then I can't cast Thunder wave which does 1D8
unless I fell back into the water and then at that point I
might as well just die. So trying to find a how far?
60 feet. An action to hold.
Yeah, so I'm gonna prepare cloud of daggers.
OK, remember that wisteria. We are gas.
That's all I can do is
concentrate on the spell 'cause if I'm if 'cause I can't even
like hold a spell because it would take away from my
concentration. Yeah.
I do imagine the sound, the I do imagine her singing the song.
Floating, floating La La la. The song from the My Little
Toaster. You know where that's the
balloons. No.
Little. Toaster.
Brave Little Toaster, thank you. Yeah, I don't have to rewatch
that. Oh shoot.
Anyways, I've. Heard that in a while.
Right. I just remembered the
electromagnet freaked me out as a kid.
Yeah, fucking. Hearing anyways.
The refrigerator was weird, too. Yeah.
That would be rural then. So I don't really have anything
to do like while we're waiting, but I'm assuming we're just
specifying what we're doing once we come out of hiding, right?
Pretty much. So I am going to prep my action
to cast water breathing on everyone.
Oh no, we're we're going to be flying, so that doesn't even
matter. That's perfect.
Then I'm going to cast, I'm gonna Cat, I'm gonna Eldridge
blast it from a distance, and I'll bonus action once whenever
we, you know, flip out. A bonus.
Action Hacks. You can only hack.
Is not a spell. You can only hold an action
though. Oh, that's right.
Yeah. So then I'll I'll just ready an
Aldridge blast. OK.
Yeah, I'll all I'm assuming all forms of it which you have
multiple levels at this point I would guess and in it.
Of Ultra Blast, yeah, it's just AI shoot 4 charges at there.
We go 4 all righty, then it's a dune's turn who responds to
everyone's cries of fly higher with well OK and moves up the 10
feet for her turn in a gas Dylan side of the.
Technical does bardic inspiration because they said
hear you. Technically everyone could hear
me so if I sang in my head I could inspire people.
Good to know, too late. Sorry, I just realized that.
During your turn, yes, especially for a dune because
everybody else is currently conversing through a dune.
I would I would guess at this point your dad's grand AM.
All right, Grand Am's going to get ready to cast Peak with
animals. OK.
That's all I've got. There's always one.
It's an admirable charge. It's not going to work, but I
can also cast good Berry. I don't think Earth Trimmer is
going to do a lot, nor is. Shillelagh.
I believe. Shit, so with with that ready as
your action, right? Yep, that's my action.
All right. And you're, you're holding it.
So we're going back to Kyoto at the top of the turn.
Do we want to stop here with everyone's actions?
Hold held. Yep.
Should we? Do one more round of initiative.
Yeah, we want to be out. Because the person that's taking
US gas won't be able to make the next good session.
OK. Yeah, maybe.
Because she has a 12 hour work day that day.
For that reason, I'm assuming, and I'm maybe assuming too much,
but you can correct me if I'm wrong, for the for all of those
that aren't holding a gaseous form are holding that action
that they spoke of. I'm going to switch from holding
chromatic orb to getting ready to cast fly.
OK, I'm switching from trying to punch something to like going to
where the freaking cannons are. I am going to go to where the
cannons are. OK.
And then we've got Shia. Are you still?
Holding I'm still boop boop bewing cloud daggers, baby cloud
the daggers, all right. And wisteria, you're holding the
gaseous form so that a do they can get up another 20 feet or 10
feet rural, still holding. Still holding Aldridge Blast,
Yeah. Aldridge blast a do and it goes
up another 10 feet. Grand am you're still holding.
Speak with animals. Yep, Yep.
Yep, all right. And so on and so forth.
Question. Until Aduna gets up to 30 feet,
which I believe Question. Wait, wait one second.
Here I. Have to do like a little bit of
math, which like my brain is not Yep, Yep. 30 feet would be
getting above just above the tentacles all right.
Now, but let me do you one better.
It doesn't say that you can't take an action.
And there is the Dash action. Oh.
So you can move 20 feet, correct?
Yes, yeah, yeah. So.
I reread it to make sure that it didn't say target can't take an
action. It says can it or cast spells.
We earth. Oh shit, I'm going to go back 30
feet above once it gets to a dunes turn.
Yes, at round three. I don't know why it says round
five on my side, but round three I want to say.
Well, we would be moving at 20 feet up a second if you're
dashing. A dune could potentially dash, I
guess. Let's see here.
So the the that is a bit confusing, I would say for a
ship, more so because there are some other things that are
encountered. There's something that they have
called thrust, which has to do with the magical crystals you
guys used to power her. But anyhow, as a gaseous form, I
don't, I don't think all of those would necessarily play
into it for her. I mean, so long as we're cleared
from the tentacles, I guess it's.
At at. Rather than nothing, right?
At round three you would be yes, which would still only put you
at what, 3 minutes into into combat?
We have an hour, why not 18? Perfect get get out of reach,
get to the Max range of your cannons and then. 18 seconds and
we are 30 feet up. Yeah, we like that.
Ranges on cannons are quite. We have 1/2 mark in those
tentacles reach. Right.
At this time you're looking at them flailing in the air 30 feet
up, so you're just out of reach. Does it?
Can it jump? That's the next question.
So mine, mine is my spell is limited by 60 feet.
So as long as we go to, you know, maybe, maybe we double it,
you know, maybe we do 60 feet. Just just in case.
We're not going in then, we're going up.
All right. So we're going 6 rounds in it
sounds like with everyone's held action.
Yeah. All right, with a dune having
reached the sixth round, that would put Grand AM at not
necessarily the top of the order, but at the top of the
order when. Guys, I just thought of
something. Oh.
We're now 60 feet up into the air.
My my fucking Josh. We're going to turn.
Is in the middle of the fucking turn order and cat is at the
top. I mean, you could have held
your. Action hold your fly spell for
when it's released and you immediately cast it on a dune,
that's what. Cat or hold Hold your hold your
end concentration till cat's about to go.
OK. But I don't know if that was too
late now. Yeah, no, that's what I was
going to do. I am holding the fly spell ready
so that as soon as a. Duo use it as a reaction.
Yeah, so as soon as the dune becomes tutorial, I just fly.
OK. On a dune, to be clear, you're
casting. I cast fly on a dune.
OK. All right.
So I mean, that could potentially get you guys to
escape the whole scenario in general, but.
Yeah. Do we want to fight this thing
or do we just want to just Nope on out of here?
Yeah, because it once I cast Fly, she has a movement of 60
feet. That's a great crap 'cause.
I kind of, I kind of vote for the.
Move on out. I can only hold it for 10
minutes at a time, but I could cast it several times.
Well, 10 minutes is 10 rounds. There's way more than 10 rounds,
but yeah, well. I mean, yeah.
And if she has a movement of 60 feet?
She can get pretty far away. I don't think that fit this
thing is going to be quick enough 4.
Fives 8 eight times. Don't mind me.
I could also cast invisible if shit starts going awry and we
could get the fuck out. Cat, do you have haste?
I do not. Haste is also a concentration
spell, so you would want her to be concentrating on fly.
I also have fly. It's only 8.
I don't know what you're talking about.
It's only 8 rounds because it's. The 10 minute spell each round
is 6 seconds. 48 seconds. It's generally for 60 seconds,
but we've got 6 seconds per rat per person, 48 seconds a round.
Is oh, you don't do it in the idea of everything happens
instantaneously in a round. Oh yeah, that's how I thought of
it. But that's how it's always been
that each round is 6 seconds. It's like what you do in six
seconds. Yeah, you.
Mean you mean You mean turn? No.
Each turn is 6 seconds. Oh no, I always read it as like,
we take all of our all of our stuff happens at the same time.
Everything's happening simultaneously.
It's just the order of who to say their stuff first.
A round would be 6 seconds is what you're saying?
Yeah, yeah, 'cause 10 rounds is A10, rounds 10.
Rounds is a minute, so it's a, it's 100 rounds of a spell, so
we're moving real fast. Well.
At 60 feet on a ship. Yeah.
I. I also imagine that like because
we're we can all hear ourselves and we're in a gaseous form.
This is probably the most truest.
Like we're all just chatting about what we can do in gas
form. Sitting there, these tentacles
are just flying around and like probably real time.
It's like, oh, let's go fly up. And then it's like, I don't, I
don't know, it just, it's a, it's a cool little like we're
all just chatting about it. And technically, this would be
what our characters are doing at this time.
Yeah. Just kind of mentally yelling
back and forth at each other. No, do this.
No, we should do this, but what
about this? Yeah, like, let's go in and
explode it. And it's like, come on, bud,
We're gas like. We can't go in.
The water. OK.
So is that the consensus of Runaway?
Yeah, fuck that shit. Yeah, I would agree to run away
just because I want to keep a dune safe from.
And you're the captain, interim captain.
That's right, we're flying away. Making me a word, the captain.
OK. So I stop concentrating.
After the. Drop gaseous form.
Yep. And then as Aduna comes back to
her full physical form, I will cast fly on her as as fast as I
am able. Make sure to remove your spell
slots and that is the first day on the middle mayor.
Yeah, we're in a flying ship, guys.
We didn't even make it back to the.
City. Oh Lord, if, if next week, next
week, she's like, what happened? Just come onto a flying ship.
She's going to be so proud of us because we avoided temptation.
We avoided. Murder we avoided avoided tent
tentaculation. Grand.
Grand AM is going to still cats speak with animals.
Oh, many. Of these as we fly away.
Yeah, you're speeding away too. So 60 feet at a dash, I think it
was. Let me let me pull that right
back up. It's 60 feet.
Base dash would be 120. He can just be yelling into the
void, it's OK. No.
All, all of his profanities are just lost on the wind.
He's offending a seagull. Yeah, it's the base speed of a
dune is 200 feet. But the flight spell is only 60.
Yes, right. You're you're flying it.
That's the base speed of this flight spell is 60, right?
Yeah. So if she dashes, it's 120 for
every six seconds. OK, you're yelling back and the
last thing you hear Grand am before you're out of range for
hearing more than likely because you know you're you're you're at
240 feet and this thing is a base, a Basso profundo if
anything else, and it's mouth is just cresting the top as you're
getting out of range. It would just say I'm only
performing the task given. Oh great.
Questionable Josh. When you said the last thing you
hear as it like reaches the top, all I could think of was we're
trying to reach you about your ship's extended warrant.
In that deep. Rumbling voice That's.
Perfect. Yeah, that'd probably be the
very last thing that you would hear before you were out of
range. The extended warranty part I
mean. Oh.
I think it was trying to sell us insurance.
No solicitors, we put a sign up. On the bottom of the.
Boat. I mean, we're flying, why not?
Well, good session y'all. Yeah, I liked it.
That was fun. This is what you'll do soon,
forever. Kids, there's, there's a lot of
air. Is she afraid he's done it?
Before though, Oh, this is the first time.
Do you need? Water.
Like do you, do you absorb water as where?
I don't know. So.
Josh, this is not the first time a dune has flown.
Yes, it is. No, it is not.
When is the? Other We have flown the first
time we met a dune. Nope, first time you met a dune.
Such a. Clear visual.
That's right. You're the IT.
Yeah, I I've. I don't know.
Her crew and captain were still sacrificing animals to her, to
her core to power it. And that was just, that was just
so that she could she could, she could move on her own.
There had to have been somebody else that also cast Fly then.
I don't think anyone's tried. I everyone's not thought of her
as a creature. That's.
Did I hold on? Because that could.
This is the very first time I think everyone's thought of her
as a creature, because everyone's been of the mindset
that she's kind of an object. I mean, she's a ship.
Well, no, she told us that she was an elf.
Previously, yeah, she were she she did, she did mention, but
it's it's not been thought of to try and cast a spell on a dune
is what I mean by hasn't been thought of.
Are you sure I didn't? I haven't cast Levitate on her.
Levitate I can't guarantee as if I do remember you used to have
that spell. Yeah, but I want to say no only
because of the interactions we you've had with a dune so far up
to this point there, there hasn't been an interaction like
this. This is the first one.
I also feel like I put my hand on a dune to try to cast a spell
on her previously and you didn't let me so.
I think. So and go back and listen to our
recordings and hear myself be incredibly wrong because I'm
sure I am could be dreaming all of this.
I've I've been listening back to him.
It's great. I love it.
I've gotten up to just past Where have I got?
Because I've got. I started a recap up to just
past general recap just past the Oh yeah, the neophytes that were
besieging Gargant. Oh wow.
I want to come back and listen to the mushroom foot soup
episode. Then you can complain to Thea
and her disappearance too. No Good session y'all.
Yeah, yeah. Thank you for.
That too next week. And what Sinead again is that?
Evil. Yes.
Welcome to the chaos. Yeah.
What do you think that we. Stirred up.
I have no idea. Yeah, I heard you blew up a city
and that's all I know. So just minor event, no big
deal. It'll be all of the second time.
Evil. Alright, I'm just saying oh boy,
stole some stuff from us. So he he gonna be given all
that, just some experience. It's fine.
Exactly. It wouldn't steal that back.
Let's steal that back from the in the most painful, painful way
possible. It will be the first time I've
ever actually played Willow in the campaign.
I was I. Was gonna say.
The first time I got to play Willow was at the Halloween
Eurythmic Veracity. Where?
Oh, no, yeah. It wasn't wisteria that you
dropped the rock on. It was Willow.
She had a mushroom head, I remember.
Yeah, 'cause she's a circle of spores.
Right. Oh my God, I drew it.
Speaking of, just make sure anyone that's planning to attend
go over to that Eurythmic Veracity chat and.
Yeah, I marked it. If I go, I'm sure I could go.
He's just, you know, where's, where's he?
Going to be at. Social media.
I will be, I will be deciding that it's going to be within the
tri-state area where I'm at which is Ohio.
It could potentially, I was looking at some areas in
Kentucky, even West Virginia and Pennsylvania, but I I think it's
leaned towards the Ohio region where we were last year for.
That the cult house. Yeah, where there's a giant
Jesus cross out outside with the like that was lit up because
there was a lot of. Funk Bedroom.
There was a lot of playable surfaces.
That's that was the big, big boon of that place.
It had like. I mean it worked out really
well. It had like an 8 person table
with like a like another island that that stretched the entire
kitchen and there was a big living room on top of that also.
The weird, weird room that Johnny and Jess stayed in that
had the door with the lock on the outside.
Yeah. Bleeding into the bedroom.
Oh no. It also had a door that went
directly outside. Yeah.
Yeah, and didn't that one not have a lock on it or something?
Weird, I don't remember. Can you hear me?
Great place. Yeah, it's still.
Nice. Always welcome.
I I know that that was that was kind of the idea again for this
year, but I'm I'm open to other solutions.
But yeah, that that that was that's that's where we're at
currently. I just wanted to get a count is
really where I want to where I want to be at by the end of this
month, because that are certainly wanting to attend
because that's the big challenge in my mind for booking a place
beforehand. Like I can I can post some
places but I need a number right to select.
I mean, I intend to, but we shall see.
On flight prices. Sure, sure.
Yeah, I also really need to cause I've got a lot of things
baking and I'm trying to get them rolling.
Is that in like, is that like physically baking?
Yeah. Wow.
I'm not going to dig it. No, no.
All the stuff I set up last eurythmic for the next Eurythmic
and all the items that I've acquired specifically for it.
Are you going to be at the Halloween Eurythmic?
Probably not with every single one on at work, so the nick will
be leaving. Are you high?
No. Oh, OK, I'm going to go.
Have a good night everyone. Good night.
Good.
Night. So Jacob, had you like your
first time rolling? It was interesting not enjoying
being a level 1 amongst a bunch of higher levels that.
