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, boy.
We last left off with our Scooby don't and the gang in the city
of Veldekov where they were hard at work having a shopping
episode. Going.
Around they interacted with a few various merchants, one of
which was the less scrupulous alchemist by the name of
Abraham. Abraham after a Harry
introduction, sold the many a good and also learned that they
were seeking passage to Divgarod Keep, a region that is currently
occupied by the Cult of the White Flame, a cult that is
viewed as rebels by the Dutchie of Divgarod and their governor.
The governor's men do not allow have not have closed the roads
heading to Division Garadkeep, so they need a way to smuggle or
sneak past. Fortunately for them, The
Alchemist Abraham has a nephew that has been smuggling his
alchemical goods to Division Garadkeep in exchange for
various alchemical components such as sulfur that are mined up
in the mountains around it. They've agreed to meet with
Abraham's nephew in exchange for their services guard protection
on this shipment. He will get them to Division
Garadke and I believe that is where we left off.
Is. Learning of this route.
Yes, and we were. We were headed towards a meeting
on the South Bank of the river to the north of Vildikov.
Which because I am a scrub, I did not name the rivers.
Yay me who makes a map but doesn't name every little thing
in it. Northikov.
Southikov. Diddly done.
And it sounds like Fred's waking up in the back of the caravan
and shags, Shaggy's going down for a nap.
And Scoob turns to to Fred and says, oh, good that you're
awake. Hey, hopefully you can maybe
fill in some of the blanks in our plan.
We learned about some of the how to how to get up to division
grad keep and that apparently this town that we're just
leaving you look back in the distance to a thriving
metropolitan that is Veldekov stinking futurely that is a.
Strong word, but yes. Yeah, busy.
How's that? And and factory oriented.
Yeah, it is very much London circa in 1910, yeah.
I'm imagining the sweet Todd movie.
And. And it was a little earlier,
but. As I pat at the seat next to me
on the on the front of the carriage, I say to Fred too,
that now we're headed over to meet a new hopeful friend that
we've made with Abraham and his nephew who is running a barge up
to diff grad keep no clue what what else is in there.
So maybe you can fill us in some plans because we we were just
going to go there. Oh, and we got a whole bunch
from Abraham previously mentioned of alchemist fire.
And on that, no, I have a couple of things I would like to give
you for an I'm going to give you 3 alchemist fire and two potions
of healing from when we went to The Alchemist stop.
Golly, gang, I can't believe I was out that long.
Must have been a, well, that tough day the day before.
Well, thanks. Thanks for The Alchemist fire
and the healing potions. All right, so we're going to dip
Rd. Keith.
Yes. Oh, also, we'd learned more
after leaving fucking grad or fucking God I that they that
fire they had out front. They were kind enough to lend us
just a smidgen of it. And we've put it in our cooking
stove in the back and I've, I've been able to keep it going.
And it seems like as long as we keep it going, we can put iron
in it and make some of the cold iron for ourselves that we found
from the. Cold iron will expire if the
fire goes out, so this must stay lit.
And. OK.
Is anybody voluntary for fire duty?
I feel like that. Would be important.
That would be me be with the with the with the survival of +4
and I have to do that once a day.
So that's that's part of the plan now.
As well as that we I know Velma and I think, or maybe it was
Daphne, I can't remember who else had the frying pan.
I think it was Velma though that had a frying.
Pan it was. It was Velma and Shaggy.
Yeah. Because I can't touch it, I get.
I take. That's right.
So yeah, that's the other part of the puzzle.
We've found out because of the crystal that Daphne has
interested, she can no longer hold or be near even the flame
without feeling uncomfortable. But it's unfortunate for this
travel I can have but. I can be near it, I just am a
little uncomfortable and I don't feel totally welcome.
But if I touch it then I do get hurt a little bit.
I got to kind of keep a little bit of a distance from the
weapons. Oh, and there's some sort of
plot with the governor in the capital city there of Corel
where they are. They have a a chokehold on all
of the gunpowder that that town back there Weldakoff is
creating. Yeah, if you're smelling farts,
it ain't shaggy. It ain't.
Scooby, it ain't me. Maybe Daphne.
No, I'm kidding. It might be Daphne.
You just see her. You just see, you just see her
hair kind of whip around and her her very already very slim
pupils. You're a little slimmer and she
kind of like leers the cheer from that coffee.
So presumably we've been having the horses take us along the
riverbank and we run into this nephew.
OK so y'all are traveling at night outside the city towards
the riverbank? I think it was still day ish.
I know it comes on fast night, but we were supposed to meet
with him before it got night, I thought.
So like, does that mean we have the fire that drives the stairs
thing from the night away? OK.
Yeah, we're here. We got a little oven in the
back. So we are relative.
What was that? We're relatively safe with our
our fire in the snow. That's what we hope.
OK, we're about to find out. All right, Gay.
We've 2 cold iron frying pans. Yeah, I was caught cold iron
what that like thing on the wall was.
Yes, now. Yeah.
And that thing was forged in the fires.
Was it at fucking ground or Dave?
Vinegar and keep giving. Given ground, OK.
Oh, and we also must not mention that we have this coal fire to
anyone in the vicinity of Velikov because they don't take
too kindly to anyone who associates with the order.
Yeah. The government had some sort of
feud with the the the the cult. Well, the cult took over the
city and its production. Me and Shaggy are in that the
hard way. No, I don't think they took
over. They didn't take it over.
They just, they took over the keep, but they didn't take over
the production part. Keep and the surrounding minds.
Yeah, yeah. So they are controlling the
product that comes out. Yeah, think labor union strikes
if they were in the middle of hell and trying their best to
survive in a bleak wasteland. Or do we find this nephew along
the banks or just wandering for? Travelling along, you eventually
like you're following up the bank and you will eventually
come to where he's currently camped.
OK, see a OR as the planet of that used to be.
A large post has been driven into the riverbank and a group
of about four men that are currently loading the barge with
several barrels. One of them looks up at your
carriage and flags you down with a wave.
I've Fred waits back. Uncle really expects me to
smuggle a wagon that looks like that.
Right, just continues grinning and waving.
Hey, no, I think it's pretty groovy.
I don't see a single groove on it.
Here, yeah, we have shoot officer glasses.
We have a, we had a pretty good Craftsman, but it's it's quite
groovy. I guess we could.
Do you have a tarp? Yes.
I hope aren't. Aren't we supposed to be
travelling at night? We are.
I was more poking fun at it than anything.
Our choice of style is in fact, a choice, I'll admit.
Yeah, so. He says, offering up a hand to
whoever will take it. I guess Fred.
Fred looks like he's in charge. Yeah, Fred will take it.
We'll get your cart on, We'll get your wagon on the barge
after we got all the goods on. We are the goods, everything
else is a. Bunch of He looks at the
cardigan traveling performers all the way up to Division
Garage Keep. Refer to ourselves as a gang for
sure. Gang.
A good kind of gang. You know, the one that solves
the mysteries that are happening around here.
What kind of gang you want your children to hang out with?
Listen, I'm not one to judge, I am smuggling after all, he says,
motioning with his head towards the barge.
Fred looks around and it's just like, this is my kind of guy.
I feel good about this. Let's break in.
When he mentioned break in. When?
Smuggle. Get smuggled in, whatever.
Enter places we're not welcome. Invited.
We're not invited. But when he mentioned that we
look like performers, Daphne would have just poked her head
out the carriage and smile before going back in the center
part of it and sitting back down.
So what would you say is the likelihood of attack while we
are embarked? Do you see many of those
critters about it? Depends, they typically hunt
alone and don't bother larger groups so more we have the
better. And that's, that's not pretty.
And what what are your measures for defence?
He points to the other men. Each of them has a rifle on
their backs and there is a blunderbuss propped against a
crate nearby. OK.
That'll do so. So how many times have you run
into these creatures? Have you been able to to figure
anything out about them? Typically when they show up we
don't stick around and if we do kill one we don't stick around
to poke it. On another note, what's the?
Change. That we would be running into
the governor's men tonight. That's a bigger problem.
Occasionally they'll be out on patrol, claiming to be hunting
down the monsters. They'll have large groups, many
men with torches, so you'll see them before they see us, but we
don't want them to see us. OK, so you don't have like?
The Governor's Orchard before you know it.
You don't have like a standing agreement with one of them or
anything, and they're not easy to bribe.
It sounds like you. Ever tried to bribe 60 men at
once? No, but Daphne has.
Yeah, neither. Me nor my uncle have deep enough
pockets to bribe them. She's got a pocket for him.
He looks pretty. This is when Daphne would have
like kind of stepped out of the carriage for just a few minutes.
For the rest of this conversation, she she was
brought up, but she has been very heavily eavesdropping from
the entire. Daphne, you think you can take
care of Scoop does the air quotes 60 men.
I mean it. Look up.
Perplexion slowly transforms into horror.
I mean, it'd probably be a challenge, but I want for it.
That probably won't be necessary.
That's good to hear. Hate to wear wear out before the
real battle comes. Apparently that we're going to
have a diff garage keep do. You plan on doing a diff garage
keep? We don't know yet.
Asking questions, finding out answers.
They might have some, but if I'm being blunt with you, not
really. Nobody really knows what's going
on. So if you ask me, that all
started when the governor got married.
This is news to us When? Did that happen?
What's this spouse like? Well, get on board and you can
tell us the story so we can start our Travis.
Yeah, he takes some time and loads you onto the cart.
And while he's kind of or I don't, would he have stepped
away at all during this moment? So that way Daphne could have a
little pitched out for something.
He as he pushes off, each of the men began to light some very
heavily hooded lanterns that's trying to light down into the
water and they push off. I'm sorry, what was your asked
question Alex? I was just going to say, would
there have been any time for Daphne to very secretly show and
explain to Fred what she's learned through dissecting the
monster in the back bedtime? Yeah.
So for your little kind of reference, there is currently a
fully dissected and sorted by like what the body part is made
of monster in the back of our caravan.
So it kind of looks like an autopsy scene back there because
of stacking. Who's have a really big
carriage? OK, cool.
Yeah, it's huge. It's bigger on the inside.
I didn't argue. I forgot, I forgot what if I'm
being honest I forgot what I learned through that.
But her whole point in doing it was trying to figure out like if
future little mutations were going to happen to her what
might happen since she ate the crystal and like trying to
figure out how the monsters bodies like work just in case.
I have here that you learned that they don't have blood was a
weird thing. They have any sort of goo on the
inside. It was sappy and they had
various animal and plant crossovers inside of them.
Oh yeah, they, they were kind of made of like fibers and stuff.
Leaning more towards the plant biology.
They're more like fungi almost. We're definitely more plant than
animals. They're fun guys.
I mean, considering the fact that we had to kill two of them,
probably not. All right.
Well, that's slightly disturbing.
Don't know about you, but we'll keep an eye on that.
But OK, raise more questions than it answers.
We got work to do. But as I was saying, Governor
Reznikov went and got himself hitched around the same time
this started last was by the name of Laria.
So. That was this was like.
Maria. What's that Maria like with an
like an L? LARJ.
A Oh. Area.
Interesting. This was about two or three
years ago. This has been a while, right?
And the governor's barely been seen since.
Has it been speculated that he has about home life because of
her or something? Or is it just his or the people
think it's just his personal preference and he wants to spend
time with her? Like how is that kind of what is
majority of people's thoughts on?
Me, I think the bitch is a witch.
Shows up out of nowhere, infatuates the most powerful man
in the city in the in the region, marries her and all
things go to hell. She serves the devil.
She does so. When you said, when you said all
of this started, did you mean the blight with the creatures?
Did you mean also the the appearance of the order did
this? What was the sequence of events
here? The first thing everybody can
agree on is the comet. Comet.
Did it make you vomit? Daphne just kind of looks her
plates and she like furrows her brow a little bit and cocks her
head and, you know, kind of looks at it and.
Then. Shortly, around the same time
that the comet appeared, we began to hear words of the
governor's upcoming wedding. And had he already met this
malaria before the comet? I'm going to be frank with you
last I did not keep up with the governor's affairs terribly
often. I guess wishing the public eye
before or after the comment. I'd never heard of her.
No, I'm sorry, I interrupted. Continue.
I'm some rich merchant's daughter, but well, oh, Uncle
knows all the rich merchants and he's never.
Will we meet Lauria in the place we're going?
Certainly. Hope not.
She's probably down in Oh, she's probably down in corral.
These people aren't in the keep. So where, Yeah, where does the
governor live? Corral.
Oh. Yeah, we might be heading the
wrong. Way, guys.
OK, All right, So what could we learn in the keep while we're
there? Well, are they they tied to the
governor at all? Shortly after all this happened,
the workers rose up and formed the Cult of the White Flame.
Their leader, Ivana, claims that deep in one of the mines she
found a fire burning bright in a cavern.
And what flames that they used to drive back the monsters in
the night correspond. What all is known about Ivana?
Like if she kind of like like, I don't know, but what all can you
tell us about her she? Was just a man worker back in
when all this started. So she wasn't like investigating
or anything, she was just kind of doing her job and then
stumbled across it. That's exactly what happened.
Stacy stumbled upon it, and well, when the gods abandoned
this place, it seems that one gave us a light.
He pulls out a amulet that hangs around his neck that's in the
same shape as the white flame that you've already encountered.
Don't know you, but we have a light.
You and Levana, you know a thing.
Oh no, she has no interest in me and I'm because she has eyes
only for her work, and her work is keeping the the hordes of the
monsters back. So after she kind of this
discovered the flame, she rose to power a little bit and now
takes on a more important position.
Nicely. She is the keeper.
But who's your in I guess at division garage keep?
Ivana is. Hey, so you guys OK, But you
guys are personable. I got it.
I've met her all the time with three.
They know my face now. And it wasn't behind closed
doors that you guys met so. You seem.
Very interested in my romantic life.
Well, I just, you know, need to understand the relationship that
we're it's embarking on here. Got it.
Good, good. Well, that religion throws some
things. OK, interesting.
So you mentioned you think that the the new governess is a
witch. What has she been doing?
Besides making sure the governor's too deep in.
Well. Something to truly get involved
and take care of his people, to keep him blind to what the White
Flame truly is as our salvation and keep being.
Make him. Make him an opponent of it.
Nothing. She's not done a God's damn
thing. But it was just kind of
coincidental that she, you know, appeared when she did.
Oleg Reznikov was the finest governor we've ever had until
that bitch entered the fixture. And now he's turned his men
against US, against every, against the common man of the
fuck of different. So, so from what you're saying
here, do you think if we sort of remove the governess from the
equation that things will go back to normal?
Or do you think she's kind of influenced the governor in a way
that's irreversible? Can get the governor to turn his
resources away from fighting, like securing his power and
towards aiding the people who might stand a chance of actually
driving back this darkness. Wait, wait, wait.
But you said the darkness only arrived after the governor got
married. So what if we got rid of the
governor's wife? That's just assuming that she's
not the cause at the one way or the other.
Our removal would be beneficial to us.
Are you going to expedite corail around?
Yeah, yeah. So is there anything for us in
Dib Grodkeep? Sounds like we're going to have
to spend the night there, crew gang.
At least we're already headed that way.
I don't know. They also we could we could live
in a van down by the river. Guys, come on.
Also Democrat, Democrat Keep is in the direction of a certain
point of interest that we are investigating.
Which is the alt of the White Flame.
Also, my gaze flicks to Daphne. Yeah.
You know, I kind of have a little, you know, 6th sense
intuition that we should be going that way, but.
So. If you all would rather have
another. Question for you.
You mentioned the flame arrived around the same time as the
creatures, that can't be a coincidence.
Can you tell me more about what happened before?
Like which happened first? How far apart were they, do you
think? And well, we used to be like the
rest of the land. We worshipped many gods, but our
clerics, our priests, our holy warriors, those that served them
all began to lose touch with their patrons, those faithful
left or lost faith. So from your.
And if you ask any who hold a God's sacred, they can feel a
presence within them. Just it's different.
So from your perspective, do you think that those who once
worshiped the gods, do you think that connection has been due to
the gods leaving of their own intention, or do you think that
connection was severed by someone or something?
I. Think that something dark has
come to diff garod and it has made it so that the gods are
distant and. The so you think it blocked So
you think it the darkness blocked the connection between.
I'm not a philosopher, I'm a smuggler.
Yeah, knows that the White Flame keeps me safe.
I. Appreciate all this.
Yeah, we appreciate the. Tell us, though, it's been.
A We appreciate the information and also you helping us get to
give garage keep. This comet that you mentioned,
did it touchdown or just fly overhead it?
Appeared in the sky for several days and then it was gone.
Many claim it was a portent. As for if it touched down or
not, I have no way of no. And the comment appeared before
the white flame was found. Yes, it was the first.
It was the portent. And second was the creatures and
3rd was the flame. Say that again, at least.
Correct. I find it highly suspicious that
these creatures and the means to combat them occurred almost
simultaneously. It's a very strange coincidence,
whatever instinct. The gods gave us one last spark
of their power to fight with and hid it where one who was worthy
would. And I promise you, Ivana of the
White Flame is very worthy. Fred's going to Fred's going to
Crouch over next to the gang, as far away from from our smuggler
friend as possible and be like, feel like we're going to have to
pull a mask off of Ivana. Just a hush.
Yeah, I was. I would.
A new arranged marriage between her and the and the governor.
Maybe, maybe, maybe some some rivalry there will clear up this
curse. I have my own little twist, I
have my own little intuitive thoughts about the situation
that I would like to discuss with y'all in a little more
private setting. Well, James, we're going to
hunker down for a little bit. Our cooks out of Commission
currently, but we do have some of his leftovers.
Did you guys come prepared for the hall?
Hey. On that front.
Motions to some sacks that are on the barge.
Never leave home without food, friend.
And that's the smartest thing you can do.
Oh I we definitely agree with that sentiment and I bid him a
do and head towards our carriage.
Yeah, Daphne, who's going to wave at him and then come back
in the carriage all? Right gang into the carriage,
Did we? Did we ask how long this journey
takes? 4 hours.
Ah, OK, time for a short rest, but from.
That's why we chose this route as opposed to land to 'cause it
was going to take basically twice that.
From the way he was talking, I kind of have a little gut
feeling that the connection between the gods was blocked or
severed rather than voluntary. Oh yeah, Speaking of Fred, what
kind of paladin are you again? Good question.
Let me look that up. Forgot my name is Fred.
It's been a long day guys. Sorry.
I was on the sweating for like 11 hours today.
No. No worries, make sure you get
some electrolytes. I was just gonna.
Say, yeah, drink water. I had dinner.
I'm in the AC now so. It's good.
I'm sorry. Give me a second.
You're good. Yeah, those, those electrolytes
will definitely help too. You got the other.
Parts. Yeah, Drink.
Water. Drink water.
Gatorade.
Brando Gatorade, it's a kind of whenever I am outside a lot, I I
found these things and it's like this like flavored electrolyte.
Like it's kind of like the little drink packs that you put
in water, but it's electrolytes and it's got a bunch of vitamins
in it. Yeah, like liquid.
ID's, yeah, kind of. But instead of like a powder,
it's a liquid so it doesn't leave any like so that way it
doesn't have to fully dissolve for it to be drinkable and not
sandy. I need to use the restaurant
quick so and then I will pick up where.
OK, left off. You'll pick up which kind of
paladin fritis. What's the?
What's your series in Daphne, Daphne?
I think that the connection was severed or blocked by some power
rather than the gods voluntarily backing out.
Specifically because the way he worded stuff he said the fire
was quote UN quote the gods last spark to help you all fight
against. So it sounds like they didn't
voluntarily pull out like. Maybe, maybe this, maybe this
spark is what's possibly causing it to it.
I know in their eyes obviously it's spending off these
monsters, but what if it's also fueling their rage because you
feel uncomfortable near it? Yeah.
But I don't feel any kind of like aggression.
But also I'm not fully, you know, a monster.
I'm only a little mutated all right back.
So a. Little mutated.
What kind of paladin are you, Fred?
I haven't found it, it's going to take a while.
It should be under. I might be able to.
I might be. Up at the top?
Up at the top of your screen there too, right under your
name. Yeah, the problem was I had to
create a second D&D Beyond account.
Because I have more than six. Characters and I don't remember
what my login and password is for that second account I'm.
Going to remember it's. Going to take me more than a
second. I might.
Pull it up. Give me a second.
Yeah, or someone can look at my character sheet that's logged.
That's what I'm doing. That's.
What I was about, it's a good thought.
You're an Oath of Devotion paladin.
OK so I've got a tier list of like depending on your domain
and stuff, how distant the connection to your God is, or
your source of your power. There is a one in 20 chance that
anytime you use any magical paladin class that it just
straight up fizzles. So if you smite or anything
you're going to need to roll and if it's a 5 or less you, sorry,
that would be a one in four chance.
Never mind. Yeah.
Well, if you roll A1 that one it fits.
That's what I meant to say. But I'm.
Assuming I'm assuming that's Fred telling us about this or
no? I don't think Fred knows.
My. Magic's not real strong.
Oh, OK. Unless you feel you have like a
feeling of your connection like you don't know how this effects,
but like that's just mechanically you the further.
You have a warning. The more you've noticed that it
the the light and the source of your like, like the the thing
that you were devoted to feels increasingly hopeless.
And now when you're near the flame, you can feel it a bit
more strongly. But.
Well, I guess that kind of slightly disproves your theory
there, Scooby. Potentially, yeah, I would say
so have you. So if you're you're saying your
connection feels a little loose, maybe you should try communing,
see what happens, see what your God has to say about it.
Fred, you. Do have establishment God Dang
it anyways as you are sailing along down the river.
You. Hear.
A muffled curse from outside, followed shortly by a rifle
blast and a howl of pain from the shoreline, which is joined
in by the sound of snarling, ripping, tearing and foot pads
running through the mucky riverbed that runs on either
side of the river. I would like to engage my
cannon, ready my frying pan and pistol.
Would this be within 30 feet of the carriage?
Would you say within? 30 feet, yeah, No.
OK, how close would I have? To get could I?
I put my. Head out.
I put my head out of the carriage to get a better
understanding of what's going on.
Dimly illuminated in the from in the what's the term?
Look at the in the twilight at the edge of the lanterns and you
can see what looked to be about wolf sized dot like creatures
running in tandem with one another.
Do you have dark vision or are you just human?
And just human. I do not have dark vision.
Kind of all you can make out. OK.
I think he's going to kind of, but they're on the edge.
They're on the bank. That's what I'm you're saying
when I say. This.
And not like. One like 1 was shot and it was
felled further about 30 feet back along the bank and there's
some of the packs stopped to tear it to pieces.
A Scooby poke his head out. Daphne's going to poke her head
out too and kind of be like and whisper what the fuck was that?
I just look towards wherever the gunshot was fired from.
You see James standing there with a rifle while two other men
continue to pull down the river. Everything all right?
James. And it's better the usual.
Don't see these too often though.
He cocks the lever of the rifle and pops off another shot into
that pack on the shore. Daphne, Daphne is going to step
out and go next to James to get a bit really kind of stay back
just a little bit so she doesn't get in his way.
So what can you? I have established.
That your own eyes don't give you dark vision.
I already have 60 feet. I have.
I have 60 feet anyways 'cause I'm an elf.
Oh, right, you're an elf. Yeah, fucking bugs get away from
me. Are you?
See what at first looks like a pack of dogs, but they are
completely skin like hairless. They look like they haven't
eaten in, like there's like no fat on.
Like the they've been shrunk, shrink wrapped like.
So they're made, and they're made looking all lost.
No, they don't even have fur to make them look mangy.
There's no sores around. They look almost.
Like. Smooth mole rat texture, yeah,
but their height is thick and like Gray, similar to the height
that you saw on the tree. And the thing that stands out to
you the most is that their mouths are very large and they
have 6. They have what their legs are
bent in weird angles as. They the first slope.
Through the mud. The first thing you said they
had that your Mac cut out a little bit exciting six.
OK, so they're kind of like they're like wolf, mole rat,
insect looking almost. And.
You see in shades of black and white, but as they exhale you
see that there is just a cloud of dark smoke that just comes
out of their mouths and leaves streams running behind them as
they run. I got a question about how a
certain spell works and if I it would be useful for me to use
this situation there's. About 15 of them, by the way.
How does detect magic work? Would that be useful for me to
do or no? You would get a sense of whether
or not there was anything magical within the range and
what direction it would. Yeah.
Would these wolves be in the range?
Like could I see the breath as magical?
What's the range listed? 30 feet.
They are too far. Away for that.
Do we need to address that, James?
As in should we take more aggressive stance and helping
you fend them off? Yeah, and you said these weren't
like you, your usual creatures. How often do you see them?
The. Month they don't seem to have
their master with them, so that's good.
Their master Daphne's head is going to kind of lean forward
and look at him a little bit, shout.
What do you mean, master? What can you tell him about that
'cause that's a little suspicious.
There is usually something that rides with them.
Is it larger? Like what can you tell me about
the masters appearance compared to?
You can a Centaur. So it kind of looks like that.
Fucked up. So.
It just kind of looks like a more demented Centaur or.
Velma and Fred still in the carriage.
I'm probably just outside the door and looking around.
I don't have dark vision. That.
Is totally propped. Daphne's fully propped up into
the barge right now, so. Imagine I would when we heard
the shot gone out of the carriage and see what's
happening and I'd probably be standing pretty close to James
trying to see what he's looking at.
So those without dark vision, what do we see?
It looks like a pack of dogs running on the shore.
Very large dogs. Can we tell if?
They're not right. Can I yell out and explain
pretty easily? Can I yell out and explain Like
what? Yeah, I'm seeing.
Yeah, the the legs seem to move for.
Sure. OK, again, so from you know, me
getting a little closer, they're hairless, they got a six eyes.
There's some some something coming out of its mouth when it
breathes and it's got a really big mouth.
And if the legs are not normal looking and he just said they
kind of have a master that looks like a demented Centaur.
But the master isn't here right now, I thought.
These. Things were.
Supposed to hunt the. Hack, he said these are his not
usual kind of monsters that he sees.
These are a little rare. That's a tend to have.
I'm going to be frank with you. We've been done a poor job of
naming these things, but. So can I nagle?
I so you didn't. Regardless of their name, you
still haven't answered. Are we trying to make land soon?
And should we, you know? We've still got about, we've
still got about 5 miles. Daphne's going to turn and look
at Scooby. You really want to make land
when those are running on the shoreline.
Oh, that's kind of. There's it's kind.
Of that's kind of my point. That's what I was getting at.
I think we should, if we were trying to, we should probably
send the herd before we even attempted such things.
But my other thought here is I we can't really see what's going
on, but we could take potshots from here until they disperse.
But that doesn't that seems like it might rile them up more than
anything. Do we still have that chicken
from earlier? Does anyone have like a big
slingshot? We could slingshot it off into
the woods. I mean if y'all want to about.
I'm not sure one chicken will distract 15 creatures.
Hey, chicken can run pretty quick.
What if we catch the chicken on fire with the with the fire and
the thing? I think the.
House of chickens gonna run. It's just gonna land.
I think we, yeah, I think we need some something that's gonna
drive them away or draw them away is what I was thinking.
Unless we are going to really just, you know, keep taking
potshots at them from here. But also potentially, James, you
could tell us. But in that 5 miles, do they
usually disperse? I guess are we just all right?
So we don't know. I mean, do we have to get out of
the boat? Aren't we going till we get to
Divgrod? Yeah, we're 5 miles away.
Yeah, we safe right here. For now, but we've got to make
land in five miles. That's what James just.
Said I'm guessing Diva grad has a force that guards its ports.
We we could hope. I would assume but Captain.
This has happened before. How do you deal with it?
Keep. Sailing and taking potshots
until they're all gone. Or are we?
Playing here until the sun comes up, they typically fuck off by
then. How much, how many, how much
longer till the sun comes up? The real quest.
That's always a hard question. It sounds like in these parts
With that then I guess I'll what was that?
Good news is they tend not to fuck with the river unless their
master's here. OK, so they don't like the
water? Unless their master's here.
Who's that? He described it as this demented
looking Centaur. OK is just for meta purposes.
Is anybody familiar with the folklore of the knuckle of E?
No, how do you spell that? I can look it up.
Here I'll give you an image. Don't worry because this.
Is right. If you just have an image on
hand, it's wild. This is what?
You see come like running up beside the river here.
Copy image A It looks like a man riding a horse, but the horse
and the man are fused together at the legs.
Man's legs. Yeah, Oh.
They are completely skinless. Everybody's so creative.
Feet tall and you see. How many feet tall?
It's, you say 18. 1616. So you said they don't mess with
the river unless their master is here, but the master is here.
No the master here. Thought you said this was their
master. That, he said.
That's what it looks like, but they're not.
If you see this come charging out of the woods, you see the
branches in the trees snapping, and then this comes riding out
on a cloud of black smoke. You just hear that.
You just hear Daphne holler oh hell no and jump back in the
carriage. I run to the railing and start.
I I I shoot a sorceress burst at a mass.
All right. With that, we're going to roll
initiative is what we're do. OK off a.
Quick little map. Yeah, I was going to say, you
might want to do something in that regard before we start
actually rolling or we could start rolling.
I'll click on my token before I roll initiative once it's.
I just rolled so. Rectangle.
Give me rectangle, yeah. I'm drawing this in the game so.
But what kind of what kind of folklore is that image from you
said, Are you familiar Scottish. That's that's about what I
expect from them. Honestly, I'm not going well.
I mean every kind, every kind of mythology has its more demented
looking with it. Plague and disease in the
winter. It's the same blue I.
Need blue? Bitches love blue.
I'm closing my character sheet. Oh my God, I need.
To be putting this down to the map layer, don't I?
Potentially there's also a background layer that they did
introduce recently. All right, there's that.
I've got a question that might make me sound a little slow, but
does the the master that came running out of the woods, does
it kind of have like the little glowy bits that the image has on
it that you sent or is it just all dark?
Yeah, it can be glowy. There's the.
So we can see it a little bit, we can see it a little bit.
You can kind of see it, Yeah, it's definitely got glowing
green. I.
Think you may have to move the? I'll move the tokens, yeah.
I meant the bookmark on the page for us to see the map.
I will as soon. As OK, I'll let me get it for a
second because I'm going to go to the bathroom but should.
Have done more prep work for this is what I should have done.
You know what, we're going to use this token.
I like that token. No, don't fit the page like
that. Jesus.
Just going to improvise with the tokens today.
Ignore the fact that these are basilisks.
It's. They're not basilisks.
They're the little wolf things. I'm still seeing the world map,
so you know. Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
That's what he said bringing. You all over to my to my
bullshit. We're making do, ladies and
gentlemen. I found that for other stuff,
but. Making do is is all we can do.
You got. I do not have a knuckle of a
token. You can just drop that picture
you drop down, that'd be good. Terrifying.
You've been spoiled with all the beautiful maps.
Most DND I've played has been on one of those like wet erase mats
that you put down. Yeah.
Yeah.
We're just we're. Going back to the good old days
of grid paper. Earlier I was tempted before the
master showed up to use. Chill touch on one of the
wolves, but I decided don't to as I.
Struggle with remembering how to fucking use this system.
Boom. Oh what?
What? Hello.
Hi. You take you all over to the
barge. I've got a general D&D question.
If I guess Bartic inspiration on something and some and to attack
y'all roll below the armor class.
Can y'all use that D whatever to add to see if you can roll above
the armor class or is that? There's no there's.
No, Roll the. If no, you just you just choose
who you want to get the bardic inspiration.
There's no role to see. That's that's not what I mean.
I mean like if y'all were attacking something, could y'all
use a bardic inspiration dies to see if it hits?
You have to cast it first. I know, but I was just asking if
that's how that works 'cause I'm on the point if I want to cast
it or not. Oh no, you, you want you.
You need to cast it on someone and then they can choose to use
that inspiration. That's OK, but could they use it
to hit something like that? How that works OK?
He's going to be bigger. Yeah he a big boy all right
we're mostly set up. I just don't have I need us to
put down tokens for oh should I put all these guys on the map
layer too? I.
Can. Work with it.
I can work with it. And everyone else.
I got my token and I wrote a natural one for initiative.
I don't even remember what I wrote because I closed my
character sheet out. So I'm having some technical
difficulties. I will not be able to get to
Fred's character sheet. I don't know what happened you.
Got to ask for. Yeah, well, but I also can't
access any of his like attacks or stuff and I.
Do you want me? Do you want me to screenshot
your actions page and give it to you?
No. What I think I'm actually going
to do is Fred's going to Fred's narcoleptic, apparent or not
narcoleptic, whatever. The thing is where you fall
asleep a lot. I think I'm going to just bow
out. It is narcoleptic because is it
narcolepsy? Yeah, Narcolepsy is falling
asleep. Yeah, Fred is.
Fred is narcoleptic and just passes out because I'm probably
going to have to jump off here soon and go do things.
Yeah, unfortunately, very sorry, guys.
I am. I am on track.
I It's a miracle. I don't even know how to put my
token on there so. Yeah, how do I?
Copy them all over. Oh, they're all oh look to the
top right of the map. I will drag them in.
I don't know why they got dropped over the Oh, I put them
on the map. No I didn't.
I don't even say mine you. Probably could have put them on
the GM layer. It's probably what could have
happened. OK, now it's they.
Were off the grid is what they were.
Yeah. But yeah, apologies folks.
I, I have a faith in you. Good luck with these things.
Now there's time to spread. We'll try not to die.
Why? Why we and then there were three
and. I guess I don't need the monster
anymore. I don't need that.
Or saggy or the other scraping. Which which which one do I need
to delete? They should have control of both
of them, so it doesn't matter. Yeah, no, it doesn't.
I have control both. OK, with this being the reality,
Yeah, my numbers are as the way you go along.
The gang on the shore picks off another, or on the barge with
their guns pick off another four of them.
Yay. Another four.
OK, good. And I load a flamethrower cannon
with cold fire. Why not?
You can try and light your pilot flame with them, yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna roll on mine.
This too I got us. I got a 8.
I got a nice big old 2. Oh wait, wait, Oh no, I should.
I need to read the. You can take some actions and.
We'll, we'll, we'll. Cover for you to get that flame
going. So when it says 1515 foot cone
of fire, does that mean this only has a 15 foot range or it's
15 feet wide? OK, so the 15 foot is you, it
goes out three and then you draw a cut like it did like so here's
a where's the fucking effects measure line square cone.
So here's a 15 foot cone. There we go.
Anything in that area? Oh.
So that's my. When I set.
Up. Do the fire.
I didn't read how the range of it the force doesn't have a
doesn't seem to list a range. You should probably get working
on that anyways, because. I have a question sounds.
Like they're sounds like they're coming this way now that they're
leaders here. You have.
Adm you said you said that the horde will eat each other if
they get picked off. Yes, that's why all four of them
have been picked off and that is why the numbers have been
dwindled. So they so they'll eat each
other. That's all I need to know.
Absolutely. So theoretically, with the
monster I dissected in the back, could I hook it to the shoreline
to distract some of them? You can cook.
I'm always I am always down for non combat solutions to problem.
Because I have everything sorted based on like nails, hair,
organs, like the muscles. So we got plenty of parts so I
can try to hook and distract with things.
It didn't seem pertinent at the time and understand the the I'm
probably yelling this not as being as common as I am, but do
we do we need to what what is it?
What is the cargo that we're hauling?
He. Looks at you.
I thought that UNK told you. No, we weren't told anything
that's going to look over. You usually work in with the
gunpowder, but is this the refined stuff or is this what
are what are what are we hauling today?
It's gunpowder. OK, presumably we can use some
of this for our protection I. Prefer all the product makes it,
but given the current circumstances, I'm sure that
Ivana will be forgiving. Last resort, got it.
We we're, we're working on another plan here, but I just
wanted to confirm that. Velma, you said you have an ADP.
Do you have like an actual Canon too and not just a fire one?
Or do you just have the fire? So what'd you get on your
initiative, Daphne? An 8.
Looks like Velma is starting. Oh, I got to add the boys over
here. The boys, yeah, there was a 19
in there. Yeah, that's them.
I'm just going to have one of them be the symbol for all of
them. We'll do group initiatives to
save time. All right, sort.
Descending. There we go.
And there we go. Let's get them rolling.
OK? Damn question.
Yes, ma'am. The My Force Ballista doesn't
have a doesn't list a range, so I'm confused about that.
Anyone familiar with it? Let me take a look see it's.
A very long range force. Ballista Lista Hilarist Make a
range spell attack originating from the cannon at one creature
or object. OK so you anytime you cast a
spell it originates from your cannon with spells range and it
does an additional 2D8 when it. Hit.
Oh. So basically what this is is it
turns magic missile into a fucked up piece of shit.
Yeah. Then while.
That trigger once per spell or once per missile on magic?
I think it's just once per spell.
I think that's, well, it's a bonus action though, I think.
I don't think this is tied to when you cast spells because
this is my bonus action. Or I'll just go within 120 feet.
Yeah, OK. So it has.
It's strange that the fire cannon is only a 15 foot range.
Are we sure? All right, you know my can you
launch like angle objects? Yeah, it's not that.
Yeah. It's burning hands.
That's dragon. That's a dragonborn's breath.
That's pretty standard. OK.
Yeah, I. Think of you got to.
You got to understand that the the longer a cone gets, the more
fucked up it gets. Yeah, let's see here again.
OK, 20 measuring cones. Yeah, every time you go up, the
cone just gets bigger and bigger and bigger.
It's like a. 30 Yeah, I was thinking like.
Is a 30 foot cone is like it's big.
I mean that's assuming that the angle that it's a 3 foot wide
when it's 3 foot away. Is that just always the cone
angle or can cone angles be thinner?
The cone angle is always it it it expands up 1, you go up 1 and
it covers one block and then it goes up another and it covers
the blocks on the other side and then it you expand.
It out OK. Block every time you go up a
block. OK, so there's no such thing as
like 30 feet out, It's a 15 foot cone.
There are things that do. Like, you can't do that.
No, I see what you're trying to do.
Like, yeah, no, you can't play geometry games like that.
I'm sorry. I've got a question.
Now lions get fucked up, but cones, yeah.
I've got a question, OK, Velma, can you launch solid objects or
is it just spells with that can? It's a forced blister, so I
think it's a spell. Also, don't you have Catapult?
Huh. As a spell, I don't think so.
Yeah, the spell catapult, which just throws something really,
really hard. That's you.
A usual. A usual. 1st.
Level. Oh, OK.
I've got another yeah, I've got another dumb mechanic question.
Then follow up. Theoretically, could I wrap my
whip around an object and use it as a sling?
No, Modella, why are you so stinky, Jesus?
Who's that? My.
Kitten, his cat. Oh, a cat being stinky.
Anyways, starting off the round, the four smuggler boys, boom,
boom, boom, boom. James starting off strong 20.
Boom. Yeah.
Dead. I know I should probably.
Oh, no. OK, so I need my selector.
That's what it is. Or dead.
I need red. Next fellow hits.
All right.
And then last fella. Oh, they all got 14.
OK, Yeah, OK. Dead and dead.
Next up, Velma. Whipping out that force ballista
and I'll shoot at this guy. I'm also going to shoot my gun.
Actually, wait, let me look at the range on my gun.
Just a second. Our little arsenal was just wild
to me. What?
OK. So 30 feet foot range, OK.
I believe they're a little. Bit 51020253 they are.
Wait, what if I? Yeah, Darn.
Don't worry, don't get closer. You want to hold your action.
Don't say that. I guess I'll I'll shoot with my
cannon. I'll do that and I'll hold my
gun. Can I do that?
Can I do my bonus action and hold my action?
Yeah, exactly how you would want to do that, OK.
So let's see. My name.
Now you could hold action. I'm sorry, I'm trying to
navigate my character sheet now to get back to where I do the
cannon. OK.
It's a little. Underwhelming.
That's my first listed at this guy.
Which guy? This one. 4 damage, move more.
But how does Holden actions work?
I didn't know you could even do that.
So if you don't know what. You use your action to hold your
action. You declare, you declare what
your action is going to be and who it's going to be against
you. Basically it's like setting a
trap or a, you have like something that triggers the trap
and then you do your action. So it can be as soon as somebody
walks through this door, I'm going to hit them with my sword.
Or as soon as somebody's head pokes above that Ridge, I'm to
that. That's how you hold your action.
Or it can be as soon as I get the signal from this other team
member, I'm going to like untie this knot and drop the weight.
It's very scooby-doo ish. But that's the.
That's how holding actions works.
Basically as. Soon as someone comes into my
range, I'm going to shoot them. Yeah, no, I've never even heard
of holding an action so. Important information that comes
along as needed. And you can.
You cannot hold movement correct?
Or can you? Hold movement unless you hold to
take the dash action, which I think you can do.
But that's. That is your action then?
Yeah. OK.
Then I can always step forward again if I need to.
So I'm going to five, 10/15/20, 25.
I think I have to move into 3025 OK.
All right, you see the horseman monstrosity as it rides
alongside. You see it lift one of its hands
and grip towards the river like he's gripping at the air and
yank towards them. And you feel the river swell up
and begin to rise up underneath the bar, as if he's trying to
use the waves to drag the close. People can play this game.
The barge is going to move 10 feet closer to shore.
Y'all can adjust as needed and I'm going to need Dexterity
saving throws from everybody on the boat.
OK, I'm just closing my pictures down again.
Hold up, I'm having an off right another.
A lay oven. What have I done?
DM tell me what have I done? You've fallen flat.
You are on the you are on the deck.
You could not keep your feet. OK.
It will take 15 feet of your 30 foot movement to stand back up.
25 Does that impact? It'll be half your movement, so.
I got. I got 13.
After moving rounded up. So still 15 I think.
OK like you have 25. Are you in Nome?
Yeah, I forgot to just a second is.
No, like wars. Have no I thought it was human.
Yeah, humans have. Three.
No, I think you're in Gnome. No, I might.
Be I just have here. I just had your sheet pulled up
just to look at what all you can do as.
Features either. Way.
Why can I not find this? I can look hold up.
I'm numb. Yes, I'm a numb.
We got a gnome, an elf, and a human.
Oh. Daphne, you're on deck, OK.
You're also what'd you roll on your deck save.
The 13. Keep your feet.
Dex is my highest set, so I hope so.
Let me look at how I'm going to do this.
Oh. Scooby, you also kept your feet.
I can catch Spartak inspiration as a bonus action, right?
Indeed. OK, for my bonus action I'm
going to give Scooby another strip tease and Bartik
inspiration and begin. Oh, I think I've seen a nip slip
there. How does after this fire work?
You take an action to throw it and need to look up the stats.
It kind of sucks, if I'm being perfectly honest.
Take one D4 fire damage on a failed Dick save and start
burning. Yep.
That's it. I'm going to throw it at the
master. OK.
Where do you lighting it with? Good question.
Hold. Up Maybe I don't want to do
that. Might I make a?
I don't know how to be lit. I thought it was kind of like
fire in a bottle. Might I make a suggestion Old.
Fire. I know what you want me to do,
but I'm going to get hurt if I do that.
So. Oh.
Don't put your hand in it. I mean, yeah, same.
What it's a Molotov is what? An alchemy.
Yeah, I thought it was kind of like magical fire in a bottle.
It also kind of is. It's more it's it's basically a
Molotov though. Like, I thought it was kind of
like. Pre.
Lit like all you had to do was throw it.
Kind of odd because that's what it sounded like to me based off
the name and everything. It's Greek fire still has to be
lit. Yeah, I'm since I'm right by the
carriage, I'm going to go light it in the cold plane and then
hook it at them. OK.
Range is 20 feet. That's about 40.
Then we move close. I forget how range increments
works in five. Disadvantage after it's a quite
acquainted range if you're trying to get it into it.
You're going to roll 2D20 and take the lowest.
OK, I got a seat. No, I didn't.
Yeah, I did. I got a seat.
Gonna miss, but I'm pretty sure Alchemist fired just straight up
as a splash zone. Yeah, I thought so.
I'm saying they have a splash zone.
It has to make a Dexterity say. So where does the heat at it?
Hits the ground at its feet and splashes everywhere.
See how he does on avoiding it? He's going to take 1D4 fire
damage. And start by fire.
Damage which to I will roll that because it's the coal fire.
It's really more like this 18 damage.
Ow, all right, That's Daphne's turn up is the Barghess.
The what? Big boy.
They are not happy do wind up stopping and tear.
Like 4 of them stop wind up stopping to tear at the ones you
downed on the beach, but the others keep running for the
fresh meat. Dash action, Well, we'll say
they make it here on Dash Action.
I'm I'm not doing math. Fuck, man.
So they're going into the water. Yeah, they're running into the
water trying to swim deep. Top, bottom of the round.
Scooby don't. I'm holding my feet.
I was a little shook by the movement of it and I I take, I'm
torn, but I think that's the better move right now.
I take off my collar and I say Grace and I cast Shape Water and
attempt to move the barge back. Yeah.
Wait, what happened? My dad was yapping at me.
So then kind of. Scooby Don't is moving the
barge. I don't know, another Dick save
again. It's going to.
Happen. Everybody's going to make a deck
save again, but it's yeah, you're going to move it the same
distance he moved it. OK I got a 24 on the deck save
so. Could I?
Could I argue that they have
advantage since I told them to brace?
Sure. But technically I'm still on the
ground so I don't know what my deck save does.
But it also was. You know, no, you do need to
make that deck save. I got a 2409.
Wind up tumbling close to the edge and are presently hanging
on to the edge. Fail another one, You're going
overboard. Oh no.
Even with advantage? Or did that nullify because she
was already on the ground? I don't have an advantage.
Why would I have an advantage? Because I told everybody to
brace. Oh.
I don't know, that gave me advantage.
But I was. I gave you advantage, yeah.
Rolling in. OK, sorry I missed that.
He argued for it, I granted it. Silently.
God. Velma.
Still on board? Yay.
All right, round zero or layer actions, you see a long typical
rise up from the water, grab this barghest and pull it
underwater. Grab the what?
The Barghest. That's the dogs.
The dog. OK, the little mole rat dog
looking thing. Oh, OK, yeah.
One got pulled underwater. So that was a smart move.
Good job. Don't pat myself on the back.
Yeah, it also kind of reveals that you don't want to be in the
water top of the round. Is Velma still close to the?
On the boat the the the four boatmen are all shooting at the
horsemen as it gallops along beside you.
They are not seeming to pay the dogs too much mind.
I guess they assume y'all got it.
Is Velma still by the edge or no?
No, she's good. OK.
Also, did Velma get a turn? She goes second in the entire
order. Oh, OK, that's right, that's
right. Bye, bye.
I was just waiting for her to pop back up.
Four hits. 3 heads, sorry 513 and a 5/12/21 OK Velma, you're.
Up. Gonna scramble to my feet and
then take a couple steps to the side.
Wait, actually I was here 510152025 no OK I'm going to
125101520253351015202530 going to shoot my gun at this guy.
Hello Modella, you stinky bitch. Oh wait no that was damaged.
Sorry I have to roll the head first.
Sorry hit the wrong 1 you. Need a baby?
OK, 18 to hit. And five damage.
Yeah, all. Right.
And then if it's still alive, I'm going to shoot my cannon at
the same one. It is.
Go ahead. Yeah. 11 will miss.
Wait, that was damage you? Need to roll to hit.
Oh OK, how do I do that? There's no like spell, it's
just. Your it's just your spell
attack. So you roll AD 20 and add your
spell attack. OK, spell attack modifier is.
I'm trying to find that. I usually don't play a
spellcaster, so sorry, bear with me.
Spell list Top spell list right next.
To my audio input. Oh, my spell attack is a + 6 and
I don't know why. That should be right.
I'm disconnecting. 20 and add that.
There you go. Six.
No, it is just that eighteen. Yeah, that will hit all day long
so 11 damage plop. It's head explodes and it sinks
into the water with a. Cloud head exposed as well.
Let's see here. Yeah, Who is overboard now,
sucker? Careful with your bad self, I'm
still playing tug of war with this son of a bitch.
And then Daphne's just off to the side, doing what she does.
The big one's burning still, right?
Did he did he get caught on fire?
Modella, baby. Oh yeah, it's still burning.
Cold fire burning good so I want to keep it little.
Baby, you are all up in my business and I'm trying to do
stuff, baby. Yeah, she wants to play DND too.
Yeah, she does OK. Yes, the big ones.
Yep. So you want to see how fucked up
cones get, huh? Why?
The player cones tend to be quite small.
That's not it. That's not a cone.
Oh. Good thing I moved the boat.
That's a good one, actually. Let's hit players.
Or. Do we want to kill NPCS?
50. Yeah, you see the horse's mouth
open up and outcomes rolling a black cloud of smoke.
Keep it on the MPCS. Going to need to make a.
I'm assuming this would be Constitution.
Believe so. Yep, Constitution saving throw.
11. A pertinent question is it
poison? Does D&D do diseases?
Yes it does. It's a disease.
Oh. Darn.
It is poison damage though. Oh.
OK, Yeah. Poison damage.
OK, I have. Yeah.
So it OK, but that was pertinent for I guess what would happen
after that. My forced ballista is immune to
poison damage. You aren't though.
Yes, correct. I wrote an 11.
Oh man, my constitution. OK, two.
OK, we got a Scooby. Don't. 20 fur. 20 fur.
Scooby, don't pass this for half.
And I am immune to or or rather I have advantage on poison
condition. But you said this is disease,
so. Yeah, it's not a poison
condition. Yeah, that's where I was getting
getting that. I have a necklace of adaptation.
I can breathe normally in any environment.
Velma got a 22. Very good.
What's Daphne got 11? All.
Right, that's going to fail. So we got 2 passes and a fail.
My failure is going to take 12 necrotic. 6.
And 15 poison you are the 2 are going to take half that.
So half of 12 and 6, Did I hear that right?
Yeah, 5th. So that I'm gonna take 115.
Poisons 12 necrotic so for so it'd be 6:00 and 7:00, and then
again 3 for Scooby. I got 8HP lift. 3:00 and 7:00 So
Scooby takes 10 Velma take. So Saddam it takes 13 and Daphne
takes 27. 8 HP left because I had temporary HP Thank.
Goodness for that. I will still be alive, but
barely. Is it my turn now or does it
have something else that needs to do?
Nope. That's its turn.
OK, can I use Bardic inspiration as a main action too if I feel
like it? Bark inspiration as a main
action no. You can't.
It's it's kind of a weak thing to do.
As a main action, it's very strong.
I was going to do the other thing that it can do.
I forget what it's called, unsettling words or whatever.
Oh, you want to do? Oh, you do.
Unsettling words. Is that a your subclass?
Yeah, it says as a bonus action you can expand one of your Bark
Expert inspiration and choose a creature you can see within 60
feet. OK.
You'd still want to do another action.
I mean, it would still. Are you going to try?
To do though, I can't reach nothing unless I feel like
throwing something else actually.
I got a DM or GM question. Would you consider this creature
undead? No.
They're recalculating. Silence it.
Might look it, but it's a demon. Throat I was going to, I was
going to say that 'cause I was going to, if it was, I was going
to use Chill Touch so that way you can have disadvantage on
attack rolls until the end of my next turn.
That would be good, but I don't think we're there, so just throw
another one of those fires. Trying to see if I have anything
else I'm going to OK for my bonus action I'm giving Velma
I'm I'm doing another striptease but for Velma this time so she
has vartic inspiration to. She pulls her glasses down to
the tip of her nose. Here one of the after like.
Here, one of the sailors in the background just going.
I don't know if the whistle came through, but you can imagine.
The wolf whistle, yeah, but I must say just for like, for
fuck's sake, she Daphne would do a little more for Velma then
Scooby. Oh, thanks.
Alright, what's all? What else on your spell this
Velma. Velma.
Daphne. I can do detect magic, misty
step or chill touch and that's it.
That's it. Yep, I've got misty step from
living. Spells.
That's all of it. You don't have any third level
spells. Go to manage spells.
It's where I'm at. All I have is chill touch as a
canned troop, detect magic and miss you set from Elvin lineage
and that's it. Pull up the side.
Pull up the side more. Yeah, pull up like your spells.
Yeah, pull up the side the over on the side of the spells list.
There's something that says manage spells.
I can't. I can't activate it from my side
being. I can't.
I don't see where you're saying seeing that.
Hold up. Oh yeah, I do see it.
Now where does it say at the top of that list when it said?
When it brings up that sidebar, does it say you have known
spells and? You currently have no known
spells. Learn spells from the list of
available spells below. Yeah, you haven't selected any
of those. These are just your class
features. I didn't know I could.
Y'all don't? I've never played a magic user.
Y'all going to walk me through this?
Sure, if you're looking at that list on the side there it.
So I can pick 2 cantrips and six spells, correct?
OK, give me a minute. Well, while you're doing that,
we can probably. Move.
Yeah. I'll, I'm gonna, I'm gonna auto.
Initiative for the rest of this car turn you're holding.
Your I'm gonna, I'm for the my regular action.
I'm just going to drink a potion of healing.
That's probably smart. Probably not a bad idea, 2D8.
OK, A1 and A7, OK. OK, so feel 8. 98 Brain brain
stupid. And they say to hold on two D 8
+ 2, so would that be 10? How does that work?
Should be yeah, that should be right.
That's where that's DM though at your decision if about the
potions, that was the potion you told us to add I think was the
two D8. Yeah, 2 D 8 + 2.
So would I add two more to that? Yep.
OK, OK, my turn's over. Or actually I'm going to move
back a little too. Just so hold on, let me go to my
the. Good news is that probably isn't
happening. One minute. 238 square is 5
feet, right? Yes.
I'm going to go there behind the carriage and hide a little bit.
Totally wise. All right.
OK, now let me add my spell. I guess this is good to know
since I'm going to try to play a wizard next time.
It's going to use this entire turn swimming the rest of the
way and the edge, yeah, it's going to take the action and
it's dash. It's going to take the dash
action to do that. Anybody near it is going like
trying to melee. It is going to take to do its
attack a disadvantage as it basically has the effect of
stinking as just the black breath rolling out of its mouth
just makes anybody near it gag. My mother's cooking.
Scooby. I.
He didn't pull us closer again, so I don't have to fight that,
but I definitely want to get this fucker out of here.
And what are the what are the? I got a question.
What are the spell levels mean? OK, so each spell level you have
a certain number of slots for each of those levels.
So you guys should have three first level SPA slots, two
second level, and two third and one third level.
They're more powerful spells for as you go up, and you can only
if you're casting a third level spell.
You can cast it only using a third level spell slot or a
higher level spell. I don't even have third level
spell slots so that's irrelevant doing this.
You should. I don't.
It's not even showing me. It's not even showing me able to
pick a third level spell. It's only showing me first,
second. And can't you?
You have a subclass. Yeah, for Bard.
Well, I'm not sorry. Bard.
You're not a pure Bard, you've multiclassed.
Yeah, I'm Bard Rd. That's why.
OK. Right, this is probably not the
smartest decision for me. We need Shaggy, but I I walk up
and no, no, you know what? I'm not, I'm not within range of
it right now. So I will actually kind of
sidestep past Velma just to this point to line up a shot as
opposed to actually touching this thing as I am aware of its
stinking nature. And I try to stay back from it
and just sorcerers burst it. It's kind of like it's my can't
troop. Oh, that's a 24 dirty 20s and
we're going to use Thunder damage.
Try and try and scare it back over the edge.
Does the Thunder spell have frighten?
Not like scare it sorry I in my head of probably been playing
too much boulder skate but Thunder has like a force aspect
to it because it's like concussive.
Yeah, Thunder Wave does like. There's yeah.
The spell did. But I don't think this has like
specific. Let me let me read some things
here. I got a question about a spell.
I'll wait till after then. Y'all do what challenge?
I don't know 8. On the D8 dispel you can roll
another D8. OK that's why it rolled another
D8 for me because I rolled an 8 on.
But no, it doesn't have anything specifically that it would force
it back saying. It just says it's sort of energy
that. Being like needing like certain
spells and whatnot. Yeah, I agree with you.
Yeah, OK. But that's 19. 19 damages yeah.
19 to hit is not shake. As no.
Yeah, 5 damage. No.
Total of 9. Total of 19 Total Yeah, 'cause
I'd, I'd yeah. Who needs to knock it off the
boat when you can kill it? It's on the boat ladders.
Total the spell hits it and it's like eardrums rupture and all
six of its eyeball like bulge under the vibration of this saw
Thunder damage as the shockwave just slams it into the rail and
it just falls dead. Got another corpse for you,
Daphne. Can I ask a spell question?
Sure. What does pyrotechnics do?
Because I'm reading it and it ain't.
I wish I knew. It says choose that Eric area of
non magical flame that you can see that fits a 5 foot cube and
I can either put fireworks which blind or smoke which I don't
know what it does in that queue. The smoke spreads in the 20 foot
radius and each the for the fireworks.
Each creature within 10 feet of the target must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or become blinded until the end of
my next turn. That's what it can do.
Yeah, but like, what does the smoke do though?
Just heavily obscure stuff. Yes.
And the way that works mechanically is that anybody
trying to hit anything. Neural disadvantage.
Yes, Yep. OK, I'm gonna take that.
And I don't think you can even shoot into something that you
can't see, like you have to see it to target it.
Yeah, that's usually part of the spells wording most of the time
for for that and usually DMS discretion whether or not people
can take potshots. And then mirror image is just
like a clone to me that I can make.
No, it's like. A.
You create like 2 illusions that stand on the other side of you.
It's kind of like if somebody attacks you, there's a one in
three chance that it gets you right, and if it gets it wrong
and if it gets it wrong, it destroys one of your illusion.
The name of this one is hilarious.
So like somebody could roll like a 24 to hit you, but then still
but but they rolled a 24 to hit the illusion instead of you.
Oh OK. The name Magic Mouth is
hilarious to me though. Yeah.
That should be Daphne's nickname.
Anyways, the James and his boys take another round of shots.
And they suck shit, except for the last guy.
I just need to drink more. All right.
And Daphne. Velma, Not Daphne.
OK, I was like, it ain't my turn yet.
I still can't reach big boy with my gun.
You can shoot at it with a gun, it'll just take a disadvantage
role. Yeah, I don't like that.
You need to get a scope for that thing.
I guess I'll I'll take out the last little guy.
Walk over and borrow one of their rifles.
Their rifles have 60 foot range. Snatch it out of their hands.
I don't know if I'm that rude 'cause then they won't be armed
for their attack. In moments of stress, Velma very
much has a like, give me that. But would that be?
Wouldn't that not be my action or my bonus action to take it
from them? I would allow it to allow you to
like use your bonus action to snack to the gun.
Or I could just do my force. What's the damage on a rifle?
I'm rolling them at 2D6. What is?
Ballista is more. Just when I turn on, I'm like,
hold on. I'd rather just because I would
have to use my bonus action and my action to shoot the gun or I
can just use the force ballista. That's more yeah, so attacking
that guy. So spell attack is this bun Oh
does a 14 hit. 14 hits. Yes, this bun 9 damage.
We're all your friends now, huh? You hear the humanoid head on
its scream thing. None of you understand the
language, though Daphne does get a general idea like.
It's. I was going to say I thought I
can understand every language. Also I'm moving my.
Turn. Just so you know.
Before I end my turn, I'm going to move.
Yeah, OK, Knowing what it did with the cone last time, I'm
going to five. 10/15/20. Hello.
Fair enough. You thought you understood every
language you knew. You understood everyone but when
you hear this it it's meaning strikes you in your it's
understanding strike but not the exact words and what it
basically says that your death inevitable and.
I mean, she already kind of figured that.
With it, it takes off into the woods, leaving behind it a trail
of black smoke. Oh.
Wait, there's one more creature over there?
They are standing on the bank feasting.
They're technically like. OPT while the barge is still
going. Yeah, I like over here.
OK, that you're happy we came along to this this time then,
James. Is anybody hurt right now so I
can? Oh I'm just trying to figure out
what half of my stuff does. If I'm being honest, I just kind
of picked it based off the name and.
We can work through it the next beginning of next session if
there is one. Next session there should be.
I was like, we definitely ain't finishing it today.
I would like to try and wrap it up next session, but I also know
it's like almost 10:00 over there.
Yep. So.
But we got some time. I will.
Yeah, the rest of the barge trip is basically on event.
You don't see any more monsters. Real quick, can I do?
Can I? Can I do something real quick?
Yeah. I don't.
I want to figure out how I wanted it.
Is anybody hurt right now? You other than me?
Oh, look at you, looking a little worse for wear too, I
thought. You're the worst of all of them.
OK. But anything I held maybe I
don't want to do anything. Hold up.
Well, let me get back to you. The rest of the You hear some
gunshots in the distance, as well as like fighting at some
distant lanterns through the trees.
But nothing really impedes your travels, and pretty soon after
several hours on the river, you see a wall of burning braziers,
a wall captured, each bearing the white flame come to
recognize. As you see this as the party
sees this, you just hear Daphne loudly side.
This Fort this Fort is built into the mountainside with a
standing watch over a over the river at that allowing boats to
come and go and pass into what appears to be a lake on the
other side of this mountain path that this river cuts through was
gorge that the river cuts. James begins to direct the boat
towards a dock that is built on the side with the fortress,
where a man wearing white and holding a You look like you've
had fun, he says. I ain't James.
Who's your friends? Some adventurers that
Pennsylvania met up with. They say they're here to lift
the curse. The man on the on the dock
doesn't that watching you? Well, maybe they have, Ivana
said to expect guests. Daphne's going to shake her hair
out like sassily and kind of fluff it out a little bit and
then just look kind of that direction.
James pull like mores the barge and with a little bit of help
gets you your cart unloaded first.
How long y'all been here or have you been here?
He the man on the door, looking at each of you and looking
particularly at Daphne, taking a long sniff as you set her into
her eyes. Think we just survived our our
third night. And you've already been touched.
Hey, I didn't tell anybody about what my uncle did in the third
grade. How do you know about it?
Oh, what do you mean touched? One of those creatures never
came near me. And I'm assuming you're going to
tell me that this lassie here has tabasi in her linen?
Maybe she does. Am I?
You want to find out. We, we, we do.
We would like to speak to So what?
About you, Harry. About some of these goings on, I
don't see why you need to delve into our past.
It's. Because folk like her have a
tendency of going mad. Well, that's what we're hoping
to stop. Oh, you just referring to Daphne
to Daphne. Yeah, just to Daphne.
Oh, OK, I thought he meant I thought he meant everyone had
been touched. No Daphne still not paying him
no mind and just she pulled out a little.
This point I would say she's pulled out a little handheld
near from her pocket and is fixing up her appearance for the
amount of people the Lioness video.
If Abraham and James vouch for well, you're not so far gone
that we have to worry yet, Perhaps.
Even so, by so far gone what what signs should we be watching
out for? Extra limbs, hair falling out,
mouth widening, sharpened teeth. OK, so at the mention, at the
mention of hair falling out, that means I always kind of snap
over, I'm going to lose my hair. Are you?
Are you being serious? Growing hair in weird places.
The mutations are strange. Often they don't make any sense.
So you're familiar with people who have mutated?
Traveled about 6. Traveled about 10 miles South.
Find a whole village folder. I think we have time for that,
but we would like to see or meet this Ivana and perhaps she could
work on some cleansing that you mentioned.
He looks Daphne up, up and down. Aye, if anybody can cleanse or
it'd be her white flame protects us all.
You're not so far gone. You can't be sorry before you
left. Before you started delving into
our unmentionables and my uncle, for some reason we didn't catch
your name. I'm Scoop.
Don't All right reach out of hand.
Strange name. For strange times.
Straight to that. He reaches out and offers to
shake your hand. I'm Petrov.
Nice to meet you, Petrov. I shake it kind of awkwardly,
like I like I I've shook hands before, but it's still.
He's a big fucker. He he, he gives you a perm
shake. And I probably cringe at the at
the shake, but I grit my teeth and just let let it happened.
Yes. So, Petra Petrov, do you think
we could meet with Ivana? Come morning, I'm sure she'd
believe she'd welcome you. OK.
Is it not? So it's still night right now?
That was something I was going to ask.
You it is still dark. OK.
All right, is there a place that we could bed down then and
perhaps mend some of our woes? We've got our own carriage but
don't want to take up space where it's not, where we're not
needed. We could set you up in the
courtyard, it'll be safe there. Sounds good to me.
We have our own provisions, so we should be good if you can
just get us in the morning then for that meeting and let us know
one way or the other if we can speak with her.
He nods and begins to motion you to follow him.
He leads you through a camp that lies on the outskirts of this
fortress. There's a wooden that's been
erected as well as a deep Moat has a thick tarry substance in
the bottom of it. There are several men on watch
building blue porches and braziers are posted every once
in a while. Each of these men are wearing
cobbled together white robes or wearing tabards that are cobbled
out of the same white fabric they are.
These people are clearly getting by with what they have, but also
they don't seem to be short on food or resources other than
just like they're well fed relatively.
They some of them are heavily scarred, but these people have
been surviving here for two years now and seem to be settled
in pretty well. Where they dressed they all have
the same but. They're the other they're all
dressed in what looks like to be a makeshift uniform of white
fabric that like they don't seem to have enough fabric to make
new ones anytime. So I think it's dirty damage.
Like some of them are heavily, like you see the remnants of
stains that have been scrubbed out, but each of them has is
wearing something that is emblazoned a it's not an
emblazon is the wrong word embroidered with white on it.
It's white fabric with yellow thread embroidering to make the
symbol of the white flame. You're LED through this.
What like a lot of it just kind of gives you the vibe that this
was in fact the mining came even here.
And like a lot of the tools they have seem to have been reforged
out of mining equipment. Like many of the weapons you see
are axes that have one pickaxe on one side and the other side
looks like a pickaxe was flattened into an edge.
You see like there's there's occasionally rifles amongst
them, but they're rare relative to these reforged like they're
peasants weapons like this looks like almost like a peasant
uprising if it weren't for the clear like level of organization
taking care. You're led up to the Fort.
The gates are opened and the cart is drawn inside and y'all
are kind of left to your own devices.
People's watch, like there are guards and they are watching
you, but they assuming you don't do anything completely off the
wall, they're going to leave you.
That said, what off the wall thing you going to do tonight?
I think I'll save that for the next time, yeah.
We can call it here and be. I was going to, I was just going
to ask for my last thing that I was considering doing.
Would we have enough time for a like a long rest or no?
Is after the part. You're about to get a long rest.
OK, so then there's no point in me doing that, so I know, yeah,
I was going to use. All I was thinking about doing
was using first level Cure Wounds on Velma and second level
cure wounds on myself. You can do that anyways it but
you are getting a long rest here.
So you'll get those spell slots back?
Yeah, with the long rest. But well then I'll do that
anyways. When you get you get and it's
through touch, so I'm guessing. How do you do it?
I'm trying to think of how on. The bigger it is appropriately.
Yeah. I'm just going to say that thing
would like slap you on the ass or something.
Do something simple. That's not good game.
We're closer now, we're in the carriage.
All right, I could go on forever, but summer's coming to
an end for me soon. I would like to try and wrap
this up next month, but if we don't get there, that's OK.
I'm cool continuing to GM. I think.
I'd like to.
I'd like for the the side shot to end so that we can return to
the regular scheduled program. Yeah, that's I think every.
Some others would like that too. I was just, I think we're,
that's what I was. I wasn't sure exactly where this
was going. We got some new information
about the governor I thought that was coming up to in that
last session a little bit that I was unaware of.
But I've got. Multiple endings y'all can head
like that's the point. Like y'all yeah.
I apologize if I I'm just I've already.
I've made this too. Much of A wide shot.
No, no, no worries. Terms with the fact that Daphne
is probably going to die, and even though as attached as I am
to her as a character, I'm just going to have to in the future
if we do somewhat a new campaign or a new size shot, I'm just
going to bring an iteration of her back because I'm too
attached. We could always just call it at
that time that you're that we're talking about it like either
next week or the following. It looks like just looking at a
calendar since you said this month, probably, possibly even
just so that we'd leave you two more sessions.
I don't, I don't know what that looks like from your side of
things, but that's what I, I was understanding, right.
And then pause it if we needed to, if we felt like there was
something. And then come back to it maybe
next summer or something even that's just.
A thought Yeah, I'm attached to Daphne, so this is.
Now, after what I have planned, we can also we can always bring
it back up next summer. Yeah, Divgarod's problems aren't
vanishing with with what you achieve in this little sideshow.
Darn but. That is our goal.
Yeah, yeah. You're going to take care of a
lot of it though, OK, If you succeed.
That's good. That's good to know.
Good. Good to set our expectations at
least. You get a little bit of a vibe
for Split. Yeah.
When you said earlier that something about the meteor or
whatever, 'cause our we've discussed that you've taken some
inspiration from your favorite horror movie.
Yeah, that has nothing to do with.
I was like, I know not that one, but I was like him saying Meteor
kind of gives me like a Quiet Place vibes.
So let me mentally prepare myself for sure like that.
It reminded me of there's a Netflix show recently where
someone went to like a secluded video archive location.
I forgot it was called. What is?
What is that length that you just put in on?
It's the the the ambiance and. I don't.
I'm going to say bluntly, ignorant with that, too.
That thing's already kind of in her own little world, so I'm
gonna just keep it that way. There's definitely inspiration
from all my favorite little whore speaking Which one of my
favorite like horror universes. Is this the one that that
sounds? The Punch Showdown game does not
sound like it's a horror franchise.
Absolutely. What was that?
What was that the name of that horror movie we discussed that
you were taking inspiration from?
Yeah, I still kind of want to watch that.
Low key do. It there's it all started with a
meteor there too. It's great.
I still got a bunch of stuff on the watch list right now.
Like right now I'm watching Love Island, so that's like a whole
different tone. Yeah, no, the the mute there.
There's elements of Dark Souls, there's elements of
Annihilation, elements of Hunt Showdown, elements of some of my
favorite mythologies like. Just me, if I were to do to
eventually get to a point where I felt comfortable running a one
shot, it would be very much a Greek mythology base as I
started. Going to this, I realized
immediately that this was not going shot and I apologize.
I could have made it a one shot. I was thinking like, yeah, two
sessions in and out, we'll be good.
But then we had a whole shopping session and.
And then we expect to I shouldn't have given you all the
opportunity to do that. I should have fuck at it.
But I don't like railroading and I wanted to like create my
favorite part of like running games is building the and like,
I'm a, I am a. It's the reason Wheel of Time is
my favorite because I love how Jordan built.
World. Love it.
I honestly, from the sessions that I have played of both
campaigns, my favorite part of it is I like to make the
characters very similar to myself.
So it's kind of like a branch of me.
Like I get to play as a more narcissistic version of me, I
get to play as more empathetic version.
Like, that's just kind of what I like doing.
Like Ciro's the more narcissistic version Columbus
the more naive version of like D.
And D let's me get the devils out.
And then Daphne's just my outlet to be a whore without actually
being a whore, one of the reasons.
I love playing, you know, You know the meme of like, if you
ever just wanted to like, stop being nice, just go ape shit.
Yeah, that's me. Aren't you tired of being nice?
Don't you just want to go ape shit?
Yeah, that one. Thanks honey.
Yeah. Like that's why I like playing
villain. God damn I love.
Playing, I don't. Know what it would necessarily
be called, but it's more of like.
Like I knew I was fucked when I realized I had 6 factions in
this fucking one shot. Yeah, my kind of my favorite
archetype of character to kind of play like is I have two.
It's either more like how Kalimba and Daphne are more like
very stereotypical stereotypical like support role characters.
Like I've given them means to heal and all that like that is
what I like to do. Any game that has roles in it.
I always pick a support role usually.
What did she accuse you of? A scope creep of widening the
scope of the project. I just didn't hear, hear it.
Yeah, we actually have some clients that we've got nickname
scope creep. Professional.
But no, that's I I don't mind at all, personally, I I.
Yeah, I like you. Don't feel like I'm stepping on
your toes and. Not like the immersion I do
miss, I do miss Kalimba a little bit, but other than that I'm I'm
enjoying myself. It's a good seasonal palate
cleanser. That's how I look at these as
well as that they that in my mind, it's like like what I
started to try and do with you already.
Like is it related to this world?
Because I, I think of that ultimately as a whole too.
That's one of the reasons why I've been creating as open as I
have is because like. Like if you just want to take
Division Garage and slap it somewhere, I can finish writing
up everything I've got on it and just give it to you.
No, Hun, I don't want wouldn't want to do that to you.
I would want to at least talk it talk over where where you're
talk thinking about because I'm I'm more of like a.
I'm not publishing this anytime soon, so I'm like, yeah.
I'm well, I mean it more in the sense of like giving you still
control over it in in a, in an overarching scheme of thought.
It was more of just like I'd like I, I like Robert Jordan as
well for his like eyeing all of like the weaving, right, the
weaving of a, of a story and tying all of these things.
And then also Brandon Sanderson of the idea where it's like
you've got this massive entire fucking, you know, galaxies upon
galaxies and multiverses and whatever else you want to play
in, you know, like there's there's going to be some sort of
Lupin tie in. And that's where I was just
like. 'Cause I've built division
garage and it's just I've spent months just building this one
fucking region and. I love it.
And how I want to like I don't know where I want to put it
because I've got like 6 different world and it doesn't
really fit into one of them. Yeah, I mean, I, you could, you
could have a whole planet in mine in in my scope of things,
I've been working on building a little solar system for for the
eventual eventuality that you, your characters escaped to Earth
to. Fair enough.
Fair. Enough.
I would love for Daphne to meet up with Kalimba just to see like
they're. Thinking about like increasing
the 'cause I, I, I, I kind of do want Faust to be from here.
Like he just fits the vibe. I feel like like just this angry
at the gods. Like scientist slash chemist
dude. Yeah, yeah.
I think it my whole. Have to.
Increase the orc population, which I've been thinking.
About. Would it be a stretch to do
that? I mean I don't think it really
would considering the what people see in the world now.
So and at work would not look very out of place compared to
and pretty much an Eldridge for SO.
Give you give you any reason behind it to otherwise is what
Matt's attempting to accomplish with his characters.
I mean he his side shot was literally on earth or a version
of it. Yeah.
And I mean for my characters that I actually come up with, I
like to pick like different regions to kind of base them off
of. Didn't.
You say that you like sort of like a food truck or some weird
shit like that or something else.
We we, we tried to steal. Or rather, we we almost
convinced a a White Castle employee to join.
Join our little thing and start a food truck.
Yeah, at one point we did. Amazing, amazing.
That sounds like it. Was fun, but I don't I look, I'm
still trying to figure out a way that I could like, play DND at
least one more time throughout the week 'cause once a week is
kind of a while for me, especially since I'm enjoying it
as much as I am. Yeah, start.
Start one up. That's the best way to learn to
be Adm. Genuinely, I don't know a lot of
people that would be interested in it.
So 'cause this girl that I've been talking to, Jake was like,
oh, if you could get her to join them, we could have like AAD and
D thing like in our city, like we only would need one more
person. But then it didn't work out with
her because she's got this little group of college friends
that are trying to force her into a game.
So she's kind of she's. Kind of digging their heels on
that. Like also you can't join a game
after your friends beg you to join a game.
Yeah. I mean, she doesn't, she's not,
she's also not like a real creative type of person.
So she just doesn't grasp like the full scope of it.
I something I plan on doing is I want to build a little side that
was just split it off of what I've been doing with the
fundraising stuff that we did. I want to make it sort that I go
to cons and because nine times out of 10, whenever a person sat
down on my table, they didn't know how to play DND, they
always wanted to. Whenever they went to their shop
or they went to their friend's house, they felt extremely
excluded. Right.
And I wanted to build this like horror, like I know it's
impossible, but I want to build a community where part of it
like core. Idea is that is inclusivity.
Bullshit and let everybody in. Don't like?
Yeah, inclusivity. Like clicks are inevitable.
Both make it so that like if you see someone that's standing
awkwardly in the corner, you invite them.
Yeah, like that's that's kind of how I kind of felt with this one
because I've tried to play DNDA couple of times before and I
always ended up kind of being like on the outside of it a
little bit. It felt like.
But even though I'm a little slow and I'm still learning,
y'all are like actively 1. Of the things that I want to do
as community is that I personally run one game a week
out and then like we have let every you want to create a room
in the room. Go for as many players as you
want to run as you're comfortable just, but that's
what I built. The community I think like I I
around. That's what I'd be totally fine
with making this. That's kind of why if you just
noticed too, I I've been thinking about it obviously more
and why that's, I mean, that's how I got Rick invited here too.
Was just Internet. I found found him.
We were talking about the same thing and asked if he wanted to
join. So yeah.
And I'm always I'm always accepting of anyone that wants
to join our table. So.
And yeah, like. I and I've renamed like the
server to the infinite C, which is kind of the call towards that
idea that I've been Speaking of to to you too, about like
leaving these worlds together a little bit.
I've got a world that I I, I really love what I have.
You ever read the Canticles of Isaac?
I've never even heard of that so.
Canticles. It's what?
It's called. It's one of my favorite fantasy
series because it's so fucking out there.
But I I think around like my birthday, like give me a couple
more months and I think I might would be interested in running
like a side shot potentially, but once I get a little more
grasp of how like mechanics work.
Yeah, yeah. But I mean like I got, I still
got like 5-6 months until my birthday, which I think I should
be well grasped by the end. I learned quick.
I got. It wrong.
The Psalms of Isaac. Is a series.
I've still never heard of that so.
He Psalm, I got to say it or I won't remember, of Isaac.
Here I'll just link it here this.
Is yeah, that's probably but. I'm.
Like I'm a fake fan I guess and also like I stopped reading this
prolifically around the same time that I got out of school
and started working and he's post the last two since then.
I probably should just start over, but it's techno post
apocalypse techno fantasy. Oh, so kind of like a shadow run
kind of deal. No, not at all.
What? It's like there's technology,
but it's like, it's not like computers technology, it's more
like steampunkish. OK.
It's basically the premise is that the world was annihilated
by a mad king, mad wizard, and he created these like this choir
of seven robots, like mechanical beings that could recite this
spell. Like he went mad and he decided
he's going to blow up, so he builds these seven robots.
Yeah, that's that's very. As they run around, they chant
the spell and destroy everything around them.
But because that's very new. It's killing spell.
Like that does align with what I know you like.
And there's this Academy that like survived the goes out into
the wasteland and covers lost technology with one day they
find a mechanic. This is this little mechanical
man and they bring him back. He's like all the other server,
but somewhere inside of him is that, and he's also more
intelligent and all that and piracy, politics that were all
basically around them, discovery, discovering.
You discovering what you could. Basically re.
Basically, they discovered the magical equivalent of a.
What? You keep cutting out.
Nuke, nuke. It kept like kind of cutting
out. You've been cutting out for me
this whole session a little. I don't know if it's been a
problem for everybody else, but it'll randomly like cut out for
a few seconds and then come back in.
It'll just be like 1/1. Word.
Sensitivity. Yeah, it would it just be like
one word, something you were able to.
Earlier you were saying something like they were holding
A and then it cut out and then I was just like, hey, and then you
won't and then you wouldn't bring it up again.
And I just kind of was like, it can't be that important for me
to hear so. Yeah.
But I thought. It's got some of the more
interesting, like political intrigue, any series I've ever
read. It's got like layers and layers
and layers for this really doing it's.
Yeah, I'll have to. I have to add it to my list.
But the way that they, like, he wove magic and technology
together, like, I really liked that.
And what was I saying? Yeah, like, I've made it so
that, like, this civilization that did this had, like,
outposts on other planets in the solar system.
And like then they wipe themselves.
Out. So 1.
Of the Yeah. Is that my play on this world I
had my players like rediscovering and like they've
discovered like a supercomputer that because.
Like, kind of like it's an analog esque.
It's an analog supercomputer that they built in a basically
an extra dimensional space. So the interfaces in your space
but like the miles of gear work and whatnot are hit an extra
dimensional black hole space like wormhole space, pocket
dimension. So you were kind of having like
a little like Fallout esque moment there.
Fallout meets fantasy. Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
I think if around December, if I do decide I want to do a
campaign, I'm going to. No pressure.
I think Matt is taking. So what I generally do is I'll I
create a list for the year and Matt was thinking he was going
to do 1 next again, but I will. Definitely get this.
Well, I was. Going to say I'll I'll
definitely give deference for people that haven't run one and
want to be because my my thought too with that is that like I
would let like to give as many people a chance that haven't
done it, but. Anyways, I hope everybody's
having fun. I know you.
Said Oh yeah. I seem to want to like wrap this
up. I if they're not having fun, I
apologize. No, no, no.
I think everyone. I'm enjoying this.
Yeah, this is great. Yeah, I think it's just more
like like I. Feel like attendance has dropped
since I took over. No, no, no.
I. Mean I feel like life this month
has also been a really busy month for everybody like I know
it's been busy for you Jake and then I've been busy but I
already told like everybody that I need Tuesdays off I don't care
like I'll call in like if I tell you I need it off and you go
schedule me for that day I'm not going my.
Dog is being pitiful about wanting to go outside real
badly, so I'm gonna go save them and I'll catch y'all next week
and we'll wrap this leg of my what?
My side shot up. Yep.
I gotta pick spells for I gotta pick spells for 0 because I
didn't know I was supposed to do that.
Oh sweet baby Jesus. Yep, spells are important.
Bye I. Don't even know what half of
them do, so tell me, OK? See you guys.
Yeah. If you have any questions, Alex,
feel free to shoot him. Or I mean, I can only pick if
you're not. If you're not too busy right
now, it won't take long. I can only pick 4.
OK. Yeah, Google.
OK. I don't.
I don't want Zero to kind of be more like often offensive
compared to Columba and Daphne, but not a not a lot of these are
given offense because I can only pick first level spills.
No canned trips? No.
Usually aren't very offensive either.
I would say magically speaking they have a couple elements.
One one that you were trying to do earlier.
I would suggest if you were trying to give monsters
disadvantage on on attacks is vicious mockery.
Yeah, that's what I put on Daphne.
But Syria's a paladin, so I don't know how many.
Oh, you're talking 0 now? Yeah, he's got like, detect
poison, disease, protection from good and evil, purify food,
shield of faith. They're also usually support,
but the other thing that paladins have is their smite.
Divine Smite. Yes, I see Syrian already have
Divine Smite, but I also see Syrian Smite as an option so I
might take that one. Those are.
Those are going to be. Your I see, I see both.
What is divine favor chicken? What's it?
What's it read like? It says, oh I just do extra
radiant damage on a hit until the spell ends, you're attacking
with weapons dealing extra 1D for radiant damage on hit.
So I'm going to take that one. So ceremony is just like this is
weird because it's got options. Is that another spell ceremony?
Yeah, it's an abduration. How's that read?
I can perform a special religious ceremony infused with
magic. I can choose one of the
following rights which are atonement, blessed water, coming
of age, dedication, funeral right and wedding.
Yeah. So that's basically like.
I can become a priest. But yeah, well, that's what it
is. You're basically a SO.
Paladins water to holy water. Paladins have a patron, so it
usually tells you at least the hype by saying what your path is
as a paladin, but it doesn't you you generally talk to the DM and
this is 0. Yeah, I'm Oath of Conquest.
So conquest. So conquest on this world, which
I know you don't, you're still getting into things.
And that's where we're talking about multiple worlds, which
gets hairy for new beginners here, but you?
I mean, I'm open to it. I learn quick and yeah, yeah,
yeah. Yeah, I'm just going back to my
list here. Yeah, let me try to give you a
little more insight on what he's like.
His whole back story is I forget what I kind of put, if I even
put anything. Oh yeah, he was.
Under Lono, the God that you ran into already a little bit with
Zenith, he was there. He didn't say too much, but he's
he he's the harvest and celebration and and battle a
little bit. So he's he's not exactly
straight up like an Aries. He's more of like when the mood
strikes him and that's not very often, so he's kind of chill.
But the other, the one that might be more towards what
you're talking about, would probably be like.
Zero kind of vibe because I really haven't played him much
because I've missed a couple of sessions with him.
I fight more kalimba than I have him, but his back story is that
I don't know what he was doing before this.
I haven't gotten that far but he was vanished to hell for
adultery so he was married at one point then she did it was
banished to hell but he escaped somehow.
And he's very morally grey. Like he really does not care.
He would do anything he feels like.
That would probably closer to Eris then who is like.
Like if he wants to fight you, he'll fight you.
If he wants to be nice to you, he'll be nice to you.
Yeah, all of these other gods, some of them that I if you
haven't met him, most of them haven't been played out in the
campaign and now a lot of them have left the the planet, but
doesn't mean they have left their favor for from the planet
right now. But it would be Aries, is what
ERIS. Eris might be saying.
Yeah, that kind of wrong. But it's kind of like Aries,
like the God of War a little bit too in that sense, because he
has some tendency towards shit. What's that like that you were
just saying to the vain being very vain?
Yeah, that's also a whole big thing with, you know.
But anyways, what are these other spells?
There there's bliss, ceremony, Command, cure wounds, detect
good and evil, detect magic, detect poison and disease.
Define divine favor, which I chose Divine might already have
divine points, so I'm not going to pick it again.
And you're looking Heroism. Heroism I can.
A willing creature you touch is imbued with bravery.
Until the spell ends, they're immune to the frightened
condition and gain temporary hit points equal to your spell
casting ability modifier at the start of its turns.
Does that stack 'cause it says temporary hit points equal to
spell casting ability modifier at the start of each of its
turns? So would it continuously gain or
would it be like a one time? Heroism I, I think it's a one
time thing. Let me look it up here and so I
can read it myself too. I followed what you're saying,
but sometimes it helps us to read it.
Heroism D5 hero hero heroism. Heroism How do you say that?
Here we are. Bravery into the spill ends.
That creature is immune to being frightened and temporary hit
points to your spell level ration.
That's what we need to look at. One minute spell end of the
target lose any remaining temporary hit points.
Yes. So at the because it's
specifically states, gains temporary hit points equal to
your spell casting ability modifier at the start of each of
its turns, so the. Duration.
The duration is next to a little a little C though.
You see that? Yeah.
That means, I think you can hover over it too.
Well, no, but you no, you can't click on it.
That doesn't. Oh yeah, it does say
concentration when I click on it.
OK, good. So yes, that means if something
hits you while you're trying to focus on the spell and you can't
have two concentration spells up at the same time.
So if you're if you have other spells that say concentration,
you can't cast them. You have to drop concentration
on one thing to start casting on the second spell.
But so yeah, one minute or 60 seconds.
One thing to know, probably mechanically and it may have
been brought up, it may not have been, but when you when you take
a turn. It's. 6 seconds in the real
time, so in a round, one round is still counted as 6 seconds,
so one minute. OK, would be 10 rounds. 10
rounds, correct? So for 10.
Rounds they would gain like third.
My modifier says +3 at the top. Yeah, they would get 3 temporary
temporary hit total if you can hold it up for that long time.
But it also states right at the end that those temporary hit
points go away as soon as the spell ends, so as soon as they.
What's the difference between mark?
It says I have modifier spell attack and save DC.
What does that mean? Each of them?
So you're saved. Literally kalimba that cannot
learn spills. So I'm this is all new to me.
Yeah. So your modifier is like if this
is like when you're casting a spell and it needs A to hit dice
like an attack. Yeah.
Well, no. So there's some that use the
spell attack modifier and there's some that just use the
modifier and they'll state that in the spell basically.
And those are usually like you're to hits or like this this
thing takes effect. If that happens, those those are
the things, the thing that are associated with that your DC on
the other hand, is if there's like a thing in the spell.
Let me see if detect magic has it.
No, you did, you say? Hate right now all the spells he
has, his guidance, light and sacred flame.
For canned trips look at divine favor, Divine smite, Syrian
smite, look at sacred flame. OK.
Yeah, read that. That should have a.
A spell save is what it's called in there.
It doesn't say that, it says flame like radiance descends on
a creature that you can see within range.
The target must succeed on a Dexter Dexterity saving throw or
take 1D8 rating radiant damage. The Dexterity saving throw is
the part that I was referring to.
OK, so when they take a Dexterity space saving throw,
they have to beat your save DC. Oh, OK.
To be able to to avoid it. And then what does what does it
mean if this target gains no benefit from half cover or three
quarters cover from the safe? What does that mean?
So cover is an interesting thing that we haven't taken too much
advantage of, although you you seen Velma almost trying to
towards the end of that fight by getting behind the carriage, I
think. You.
That's where Daphne was sitting, Yeah.
Yeah, you had full coverage. So for instance, if there was a,
if someone was trying to hit you and you had full coverage, they
like know you were there and they were just going to take a
shot at you. You would you you they they
basically can't because they can't see you.
But if you have half coverage that.
Means is that like you're standing over like a fence or a
really like thick like short wall, like 1/2 wall like I can
see part of you. Yeah, let yeah exactly like a
barrel or a crate or something like that too would give you
probably some of that it's. So this is up to no benefit from
half cover to 3/4 cover. So that means they can affect
them unless they are fully covered.
Yes, exactly. So yeah, usually whenever
somebody has those half coverages, I was going to say
then they can get, I think half coverage is disadvantaged.
I've not run into three quarter coverage because we don't
usually get that specific with it.
I feel like, let me let me see what that actually says out of
my own for my own knowledge's sake.
And then the other spells he has is his first levels are Divine
Favorite, Divine smite, and Serious smite and then his
second level is lesser restoration from him being an
SMR. Yeah.
But I can still pick two more smells, two more spells out of
this little list I was. Going to suggest bless
potentially. Yeah, it is.
I got blessed ceremony command cure wounds to take evil and
good to take magic to take poison and disease, Divine favor
which I chose, Divine Smite already have it, Heroism,
protection from good and evil, purify food and very searing
spite which I chose and then shield of faith.
Yeah, so. They said maybe worse.
Yeah, because if you read that, it's basically kind of similar
to. Oh they just add AD 4 to an
attack roller save. Is it say attack or does it say?
It says. Any saving throw or any?
You bless up to three creatures within range.
Whenever a target makes an attack roll or a saving throw
before the spell ends, the target adds 1D4.
Yes, yeah. So it's kind of like that.
But it's also concentration based so yes all the
concentrations one are bless, detect and evil, detect magic,
detect poison, heroism's concentration, protection from
good and evil's concentration, and then shield of faith is
concentration. What does the R mean?
Beside it says it means ritual. What is?
A ritual. Ritual spells are basically
instead of expending a spell slot for it usually is the case
is what what what it requires to cast any of those spells.
Oh, it says component. It says components.
Well, no, it's means specifically that you can spend.
Usually it's 10 minutes so you don't.
You can't do cast something per ritual inside of a combat
because by the time you casting the ritual will be over usually.
Like I couldn't, I couldn't like do a wedding in the middle of
convent. Yeah, yeah.
'Cause this is for the wedding, when you touch adult humanoids
willing to be bonded together in marriage for the next 7 days,
each target gains a + 2 AC while they're in 30 feet of each
other. Yes, yeah.
So that's one, one thing that Matt took at one point and
that's he definitely used it for 2 characters that he adopted.
One of them is it was Rick adopting a character you haven't
played with was Regina, a small like 10 year old dark elf that
Ezra adopted. Anyways, so then they he he cast
this on them and or he performed the ritual of it.
And that's the other thing with the rituals that I was about to
state though, is that they don't cost that spell slot when you
cast it per ritual. Oh, So what does the components
mean? Because for ceremony, this one
says 20 in ( 25 GP worth of powdered silver, which the spell
consumes. So is that like something I have
to have in order to do it? We usually don't play with
components, largely because they are nullified for the.
Most, and they're so specific, like powdered silver.
Well, in as long as you have a spell casting focus, which is in
the case of paladin, right. In the case of paladin is
usually your weapon that is holy basically and is or like a
really a really good one to watch.
I don't know if you have Amazon Prime, but I I recommend so
critical role, I'm sure you've heard about they have they have
a whole extensive things on YouTube that you could watch
them play DND if you ever wanted to.
And they've got some interesting stories, but they've distilled
it down into like a little animated series on Amazon prime
and they look up the show name real quick 'cause it's escaping
me. I think it's.
Brain Legends of Vox Machina I can just send the link to here
so that it's easier. But for zero, I think I might
take shoot of Faith. Honestly, it seems interesting.
This one says a shimmering field surrounds a creature of your
choice within range, granting it a + 2 bonus to AC for the
duration. Just know that and it has a 10
minute concentration. Yeah, just know that the
concentrations you can't stack, so you can't cast another
concentration spell at the same time basically.
Only I don't think I even have another concentrations for right
now so. OK, I thought you were talk or
adding that other one we were talking about, I forget.
Not my I don't know command seems interesting.
It is and it isn't. So it's another spell safe DC.
And so that's an important thing to keep in mind when we're
talking about those roles that you were talk.
So that one required a dexterity for sacred sacred flame, right.
What does this one require? Wisdom.
So you obviously couldn't use it on a very and tell like a very
wise creature more than that. So you could use it on like
small miniony people to tell to do different things.
Which is can be used to approach drop, flea, grovel and halt.
Yeah, and there are other things you can command usually, but it
has to be one word for the most part, and it has.
So like, I could tell somebody to like, kneel or something,
yeah. And usually they're aware of the
effect, so it's not like that they love you afterwards if this
they know that you're doing something shady.
I'm between that one, detect poison and disease and cure.
Wounds your wounds is a good catch all just because it is,
you know, another health gaining but.
Yeah. He doesn't have a health gaining
1. He has guidance or he does have
a concentration 1. He has his guidance pantry.
Guidance is super useful outside of combat scenarios as well
actually because like when you're talking about savings
rose, sometimes it can refer to like when you're in a
conversation and. They make to like lot of
somebody or something. Yeah, exactly.
So that that has multiple uses besides combat so.
I His other one is a light. That one's concentration,
really. No, it's not concentration, but
that's his other cancer other than sacred flame.
Yeah, Sacred Flames a good, just like if you want to do a little
bit of damage kind of thing. And then he already he already
has lesser restoration so I can end like status effects and
diseases already. Then you don't really need to
detect it then probably if you could just end it.
You can touch a creature in the end, either one disease or one
condition afflicting it. The condition can be bonded,
deaf and paralyzed, or poisoned. So.
Yeah, you probably don't. Yeah, I'm slowly learning how to
put these together, which I'm going to have to do if I want to
play a wizard next campaign. Your side shot, that we do.
Yeah, yeah, it's a definitely a process and takes a good bit of
research. The other one, I think I've
mentioned it to you before, but is RPG bot will give you good
recommendations. Basically like list forms of
spells and such that are more likely to be useful for certain
classes and such. Like Wizards obviously have
some, so one thing to keep in mind I guess when building a
wizard as opposed to any of the other ones.
But I can pull her here to see that real quick.
She's only little one, because I don't know, there's nothing.
They're going to make this starting a little man.
That a level 1 wizard can do. Yeah.
But they. Either want her to be School of
Enchantment or School of Divination and I don't know
which one yet so. The one thing that I was going
to say though is they get really powerful at later levels and
besides that is they they have access to pretty much every
spell in the game. Oh, she can already learn 3
cantrips and four propelled prepared spells up to first
level. Yes exactly.
So they get a a a larger access to all of the spell type.
Like all of those spells you were mentioning are largely
paladin related and especially the smites.
No other class can get a smite. Yeah, like I'm on hers right now
and I see elementalism. And is elementalism just like
mold, earth and water combined in A1 kinda 'cause it says
beckon? Like I can create.
Small elemental effects. Within a 5 foot cube.
Like I can create dust or sand that covers stuff, harmless
embers, vented smoke, cool mists or like like ripple cloth and
stuff. Yeah, then it's.
Not as much like. The mold Earth.
And. The other one that I.
Have which is water, warm water or whatever.
Yeah, Shape Water because it's not as powerful.
She can still learn both of those too, so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Wizards, like I said, have. A very wide list of all.
All the different spells. So this is something I've been
confused on while I've been thinking about what I want.
To do with her? Does enchantment have to do with
enchanting people or items? If you're looking for items,
you're going to want to go the Room 1.
Isn't there like a room based one?
I could just want to know what this but I want me.
I could just be talking out of. My ass, it is very possible.
No, you, you might be. On to something there because I
think there is so enchanting can be items.
And people, but and in largely to speak when we're talking
about enchanting an item, a thing to know is that you can't
generally speaking create items, as I understand, like magical
items. I meant like I was thinking more
enchanting like Minecraft enchanting.
When I hear enchanting, that's what I associate.
Like that? That would be a pretty accurate
description, and it usually probably.
Would take time for you to do still.
As opposed. To during.
Combat Which? You can enchant different things
during combat too, but that one, that one will have more
physical. I'm trying to remember the
description that I had in my head too.
That one has. So you said enchanting versus
divination. So enchanting has more physical.
Effect on the world. Around them, right And and
divination has more of like the knowledge aspect of things
around. Them and knowing.
And and to know what things mean.
I also like like kind of like the basic classes based on like
the characters back story and stuff a little.
So for her, her whole thing is like, she's really smart, but
people don't think. She's as smart because.
She also is really pretty and I don't know if I should go more
like charming route with her because she is really pretty and
she like is can use her smarts with her like attractiveness to
use it against. People or if I want.
To go like she's just trying to prove people wrong and is
showing people how smart she is. Like I don't know what.
Or I don't want to go with that. Totally up to you, but I'm.
Taking this house the first time of this, so this is where the
dice. Comes in my friend.
You take decisions. You ascribe numbers to them and
you roll a die. And then the die tell you, oh,
hail the holy die. OK, I'm gonna, I guess I'm gonna
roll this and see. I mean, she's only level 1, so
this would be a future decision. But yeah, you don't have to
make. It right now either that's the
thing. So I think I'm I am leaning more
divination. Honestly, with her, yeah.
And I'll leave you with this last thing before I I I do need
to get catch. Some of these but.
Is that the wizard specifically too?
With their wide variety of things, they.
Have. Available doesn't necessarily
mean they're pigeon hole into being just that divination
wizard, right? Like you can pick spells that
are outside of the normal. Of a.
Like what you would say a divination wizard might have
because of the fact that like they, they had So one thing to
know, like bards and Wizards have.
So there's wizard schools and then there are like there are
bards colleges, colleges, right? And.
They could they they? Go to different ones and the
wizard. Schools are more.
Widely based, even though the part colleges colleges are kind
of kind of more like a. Technical College.
I don't even. Know what eloquence really
means? But that's what that means.
So speech. For her, I chose for her spells,
just to give you a little. Overview of kind of the route.
I'm taking with her I. Chose Starry Wisp.
And Vicious Mockery for hurricane trips and charm person
cure wounds, aid enhance ability, Lester restoration and
pyrotechnics. OK, one other thing you I, I
guess I I can keep. Going on if I don't stop myself
but this is I promise the last thing.
Now the is the spell for zero. Also I chose Bliss is his last
option so he is. Bliss.
Searing. Smite and the shield one and
something else. Hold up.
Let me pull them up. Material components.
That you were talking about earlier.
Is there something that's extremely valuable on that?
List so for like like one of them was 25 GP worth of silver
good for zero. That's not.
That's not too. Out of the ordinary, and you're
welcome to role play as much as you want.
That's usually where that gets pulled into it.
But but obviously, like I was stating already, if you have a
spell focus, some of those mostly go by the wayside.
But there are things like I think it's, I can't remember,
it's Revivify, or if there's another even bigger spell than
that, that basically what level? Is revivify because?
Y'all keep bringing it up but I haven't even seen it as an
option for anything. I think it's.
Pretty high, but you can basically bring somebody back
that's been dead for a certain amount of.
Time, but usually requires a diamond.
What's the highest? Spell.
Level cause nine really I thought it would be like 5 like.
Nope. Yeah.
The highest you're gonna be like little 30 or something to use
9th. Level spells.
Or something. You know, I think you start
getting access. To 9th level spells at.
Around level cause Daphne's level 5.
And she has access to third level?
Yeah, I think. I want to say it was around. 17
or 18 that you can start getting access to some of those.
Higher level spells? Oh, Revivify is only a third
level spell? No, that only has second level
spells. I lied.
But. And it's only for clerics.
Paladins get it, Warlocks, so you're going to.
Eventually get it when he's not Level 3.
Yeah, Druids and oh. One that I've never heard of.
Ill Rieger. Yeah, but that that one.
Requires that that is the one I was kind of remembering, but
there's. Definitely A1 higher than this
for. Sure the name of the spell, but
this one would work. Fall under it because it
requires and it has an Asterix at the bottom that says diamond
worth 300 gold pieces. So like in that instance where
it has the. Asterix, that usually means
yeah, that like that's. Required even with with a spell
focus. But the other two there that you
see, this is the, this is the last thing I was trying to say
before I got off here though, is the verbal and the V in the S
besides the M that you see in the components.
Yeah, that's verbal and semantic.
I don't know if you've heard me say it or or not.
But I I will generally. Ask for those, especially if
we're in a very good spot for you to be adding some flair to
your tax. I mean, that does that anyways.
So yeah. Yeah, no, you're doing great
with that. But Columbia can't cast spells.
So if you if you, if you're already doing it, I, I
generally. Wanted to reject but if you're
not doing. It and you're just like, I cast
this thing and I'm like, what are your?
Verbal and semantic because the that means what what are you
saying and what are you doing like hand or whatever to cast
the spell? Because for the next actual
campaign that we do that, you damn.
Zero and Rick's character still have to have that talk, which
I'm a little excited for. I've been thinking of how he's
going to react because Zero is a current and it's the whole
reason I like playing. Him is because.
I get to be a current and because I'm usually a little
more level headed, I try to be at least.
But I'm very, very interested in where that one's going to go
because there's some other shenanigans that are going to be
going down South. Oh.
I wasn't aware of that. So.
All right. Well, good.
See you later. Good.
Night hopefully. Hopefully that helped.
It did. I actually got 0.
Kind of situated. I feel like there's a couple.
More aspects of DND like combat wise that I don't really
understand but when? Figure that out later.
Yep, with time. All right, night, night.
