Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Metagaming by Rum Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the campaign.
Allelopolis. Hello.
Yes, my Lord. Salutations to cry, he who
watches us from apart. The Hand of Fate tosses the dice
rolls, spins, turns. A campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that becomes stories.
Stories flow out into the infant sea, painting it with legends.
Legends wash up on the shores throughout the infinite sea,
fading to myth until myths are forgotten.
And again the campaign that gave at birth comes again.
And again the hand of fate tosses the dice rolls, spins,
turns. Hitherto we left the Rum rollers
on the Isle island of Shandar and there it is, where they had
just successfully made a deal with Shondar for his breaths and
eradicated a goblin problem he was having inside of his
volcano. They at which point Chia
reappears on Adune's deck in her room and greets new companions
Raro, Zenora and KIRO for the first time.
Besides helping them fight in the tunnels and the rum rollers,
it greets them to the Rum rollers and they they update her
on where and what trouble the room rollers have been getting
into on the Isle of Shandar and Rao points out the magical
contract that she had helped originally generate with the
professional Necromancy cult to save their lives.
She has then tries to brutalize the contract out of existence to
no avail. The decision was made to null
this contract with the PNC in person after their exploits on
the island, Zenora recalled. Also, they should return the
Tongue of Tongues to Shondar, and Kira wanted an audience with
the dragon anyways. Roro greets Gulliver and gives
him paperwork to sign and gives him over to a dune for
orientation on the beach before travelling to Shondar's
volcano's home. On the way, Roro finds a hidden
treasure chest full of gold and with a explosive trap rigged to
it. Disarming the trap and seeing
the gar, the coin of Shia's father, inside, they gather both
9.5 K and put it in a bag of holding that Shia creates on the
spot. They then make their way through
the lava tubes to Shondar's chambers and greet him and
Timothy and Popdart, who it seemed Pop Art and Shondar were
enjoying each other's company just before, and KIRO asks if
Timothy may join the rum rollers.
Shondar accepts, giving him a feather to watch over him and
the rum rollers and rural pockets the tongue of tongues
with Shondar not questioning it and they head back to a dune and
rural drinks reality on his way back.
That's what I had reported there.
And let's see what find. Let's find out what happens this
time. I this did jog something from my
memory too. I was talking to Jesse who had
found a means because you guys were talking about trying to set
something up of like a group fund, so to say.
But the best way that I can think to do this is have like a
if you guys could so I don't have to go to everybody's
inventory when you get the chance.
I was thinking originally just a bag of holding that you guys
could all have in your inventory on your character sheet that
would have this all in there, which would work.
But what might even help even better is I went to, I think it
was Cat's sheet and there's something that he was using or
Jesse technically, I guess, which is there's I'm, I'm
looking for the exact term. That's when I'm scrolling down.
A sailing ship is a thing that you can put in your inventory
that holds stuff so that you can distinguish it from any other
bags of holdings or backpacks or anything like you have like of
that might be a good means to have a subsection in your guys
inventory to, you know, leave with a dune.
I put quotations in the air, but just so that it's group funds,
but inventory keeping wise that that that's just more so that
you guys are able to quickly go back and reference for
yourselves what's in the inventory that you're aware of
because other people have been there and put it in while you're
there too, if that makes any sense of the matter rather than
trying to have a third location somewhere of all the items that
could potentially be in one spot that I also have to keep.
Talking. What?
I created a pack of holding because I I realized that like
whenever you add a adventures pack, it like adds a backpack
and then you can put stuff in that backpack.
And so I currently have a bag of holding with our in with the
intentions that that would be our bank.
Yes, yes. OK.
Which is completely fine, I was just.
I was just suggesting the that I'd I'd found another means and
or I I guess you could relabel the bag too to just make sure.
I think you can you know, I'm not sure if you can, can you
customize the bag itself? Yeah, you can customize it to
rename it the, you know, like the the shared party bag or the
the like the bank like you're saying kind of for the for that
reason. I.
Apologize I I am semi rephrasing so to make sure I I understand.
Are we trying to put a bag in that actually has weird funds?
Where? We that's what I thought you
guys were trying to. Do so that like everyone.
So everyone would have a bag that has 9000 gold pieces, but
that doesn't mean that we all individually have 9000 gold
pieces. It means that that's our bank.
OK, OK, OK, OK. I'm following.
Following. That's that's what I thought you
guys were trying to do anyways, just because like you can't
create a bag and then literally share it in everybody's
inventory. Yeah.
Like you were hoping to do. It's just a bit of a confusing
matter because even when I go back into your guys's
inventories and such too, I'm like trying I, I, I generally if
I'm creating a new item and giving it to you, I, I kind of
just put it in your equipment so you can see it and then you can
sort it yourselves. Yeah, yeah.
Because I I try not to dig through there myself.
OK. But that was just another
thought. I figured I'd share with you
guys that I thought was pretty clever of of Cat to have a
sailing ship as a subcategory inside of their inventory.
Yeah. She's a smart one.
She takes notes. Money.
Yeah, guys are jingling with Timothy on the way back to
Adune. I weave a couple of the coins
into my beard. Already taking out of the bag,
How many you taking? It's like 5.
Oh, OK everybody -5 from your bag.
I'd look good that don't die. All right, I don't see anyone on
roll 20, unless that's just me. It's a loading.
Oh yeah, no worries. I knew you were she.
I was just stating, 'cause I think I just moved the bookmark
too. So you guys should be able to
see and move your characters. And yeah, let me know what
you're doing as you're getting back towards the coast and
seeing that the other crew of Cobalts.
Were. Seemingly finished loading your
ship and we're moving on to loading their own ship.
Wheat. And Adune is waving from from
you guys, guys's deck wave. Back Hello.
She says hello into everyone's mind.
Hello, Diaries. They loaded me up with the
breaths, I think, but I didn't know if we were going to, if you
guys are going to need any provisions for the rest of the
route because I think I told you already that we're getting
pretty low. Could probably make it back to
Socrates, but just just so you know.
In terms of like food and stuff, yes, or like, but or in terms of
like power for you to make food. That would be both really.
I I I think that we used a good bit getting here, but I haven't
been refuelled since then. I think I've got a solution for
us. I kind of sat down.
Once we get back, I can lose myself close here, but once we
get back, I will go through and pull out the 1/3 crystal, but
crystal that I have left of the five whole ones and kind of hold
it out to a dune after I greet all my siblings and be like, I
don't know what you eat, but like this seems like a crystal
like you've eaten before. I think it's made out of butts,
I think. Kaiser a rope around her her
waist which you can see she's been keeping her wooden form 2
arms, 2 legs and a head and comes down the side of the boat
off of the so. Good, we should get you some
clothing. With it.
Well, that would be nice, but I
don't know if it'd been entirely necessary.
This is just easier for you to have something to address while
we're talking and to give me things.
And she reaches out towards it. Thank you.
Yeah, here. You go, maybe one day we can
find some sort of like cord for you so that you can walk around
without being tied to your ship. That would.
Be oh like a Bluetooth. Like a Bluetooth?
Yeah, but first flying, then that.
That would be interesting. That would.
Be I think the entire campaign at this point is upgrading a
Dune if we. Josh yeah.
Question, did we ever try hugging Adune with the ring of
resizing on? I don't think so, to my
recollection. Isn't that how we got her in the
bottle? No.
So you guys canonically were coming from the Crystal Tower
stopped were forced to stop actually at Kitty Tiddlywinks
before it became titty sprinkles and had left Adune beached there
because you had no means to get her, you know, across land and
were chased ashore by a giant raging tentacle monster and and
up her still trying to hurry up and save your Kingdom from its
own sickness. You ran into a monk's not the
right word, but a seer kind of type individual at the top of
the mountain, trying to trying to remember how I referred to
them. But you ran into them and they'd
produced for you for you when you greeted them basically a
donate in a bottle already because they were, they were
like, you shouldn't leave your friends behind.
And they were just really prophetic blah blah blah.
And they talked to. You.
Talk to you guys about the gods that are paying attention to you
and stuff like that. And but yeah, so the bottle was
the way that you were doing that.
And currently it's got a smaller tentacle monster in it, that
bottle. We're gonna sell it.
Well, technically we're currently feeding it.
Can I put my ring of resizing on and give Adune a hug, like to
the side of the ship? Yeah, like I don't.
Know, I just wanted to be clear it wasn't the the figure that
was was her. OK.
'Cause yeah, grabbing the edge of the ship, I'm gonna say
unless you have under magical means does not work for you to
pick it up, if that's what you're trying to do.
I don't. Know I just.
Couldn't feasibly, even even if I were to ask for a strength
role, couldn't feasibly understand any which way that it
could actually work. We're talking physical mass
here. It's picking, picking up I'm
fault. Like I am putting up with
picking up what you're putting down.
Yeah. What if I go to a giant and put
the ring of resizing on a giant and then he picks me up and then
I pick a dune up and then put the ring of resizing back on me
and then I resize and then Adune could resize with me.
Boom. Polymorphic you into a dinosaur,
you pick it up. You're you're having those
thoughts while Adune is just the the figure of her at her arms
had come out like you were thought she was gonna you were
going to hug her and then she keeps you hugging the ship and
is and she just hugs you from behind like oh.
Thanks, I miss you too. I.
Well. I was, we were walking back.
I'm sorry, I'm going to kind of just, I just need to get these
thoughts out. Well, we were walking back.
I was thinking that what if we don't know the contract?
But what if we, you know, like spies?
Like, what if we, you know, go and do what we were gonna say,
'cause we're creating the group to create wishes.
And but like, what if we actually like take down, right?
From the inside. Yeah, through the like this
contract. I mean, that's a definitely a
possibility. The captain would have to
approve it, whoever that may be, but it's a good idea.
The only thing is, if you're going to go undercover with a
corporate espionage or whatever, you need to be prepared to do
some pretty terrible things in order to stay.
Undercover. Are you ready to do some
terrible things so that we could do this?
No, it's a classic train question.
Totally question. Hey Josh, Can I, I don't know,
I'm trying to decide like how much Shia knows about the group
and like I don't know, is there a role I can make not to make
the decision, but like how much information?
You mean about? You mean?
You mean about the PNC? Uh huh.
Oh. OK, when you said the group, I
thought you meant that you're. How much?
Bad and. I was like, you could ask them I
guess, but. Or insight, I guess you.
Want to roll? What do I know about these
douche bags? Insight on if I would be able
to? Like what would the bad stuff be
and would I find it like unbearable?
To the bad stuff to to be part of their group, yeah.
I. I'm going to just help you
recall. I know it's been a little bit
there and if you need more, let me know.
And then you can then you can roll for like an insight or, or
history on these people because you do have some knowledge
perhaps actually to after going back and going through your your
dead tutors stuff and kind of jeez being, being kind of remiss
for missing the book that he told you about in the 1st place
that was going to be causing a lot of this stuff.
So in that vein, maybe go ahead and roll a wait.
Book. Well, book.
What is this? Roll a history for me.
Nobody, Nobody can know about the book You.
Might know about it in a second. The book is.
The book is.
Love the the book had to do with your your rhythmic veracities
and it causing the fissure. Right man.
Yes. That.
You have like a hard on for this book.
That summoned the PNC basically at this point.
There is in the other game I have a book, the best book ever.
Son of a bitch one that 1 + 9, but it was in that one.
Oh, Dang, yeah. I mean, with that, you, you, you
got distracted in your hometown and didn't learn out more than
what you did. But I will at least recall,
recall on, on some of the things that you already know, which is
yeah. When you when you went to visit
and he was still alive, your tutor, he let you know that the
fissure was opening up. And it was because of the
rhythmic veracity. And you had to hurry up, go
there and close it. And you tried to get to the top
of the lava tower, which you assumed it was the best way to
figure out what was going on there.
As the as it was being guarded as as some sort of thing in that
seemed to be controlling the area because it was kind of
dominating it as well as the the demons that you fought through
to get to the top of it. You guessed were because of
this. And you're you're at least
recalling to just from the some of the crossover of information
from your previous characters. I would say too even that the
fact that this tower came from hell more than likely probably
from some of the first levels and.
There's an exit. And because of the eurythmic
veracity, or we're known by a different name of harmonic
convergence, it aligns a lot of celestial bodies and powers are
able to connect and communicate across large distances.
And that that's where I'm going to try and stop myself.
Even. That's some of the stuff that
you were recall that you were barely scratching the surface of
on some of the books that you went back to research.
But it's just like one of those instances like you, you just got
overwhelmed with other responsibilities and that you
only got so much more information while you're there,
I guess within that one. So.
In my thought process of like trying to recall how bad the
necromancy group is, I got distracted and thought about my
research in the time was like yeah, don't know shit yeah as
well. Yeah, yeah.
With that though, I'll leave it at least somewhat on a good
note. And you found a way to reduce
the bubbles on that potion you were working on to eliminate an
inebriation after it's happened then when of your choosing.
So if you remember that potion you convented.
I. Don't know.
If you guys are really uncomfortable with it, then
yeah, maybe it's not the best move.
Maybe we can just keep working on trying to null the contract
and when the captain comes back we can see what they have to
say. Sure.
I'm all right with that, yeah. Also, can you guys hear my
chewing? No, I heard some corn.
Here I am eating corn chips right now, very loudly so.
Corn. All right, that'll do, the Dune
says to you specifically in your mind.
She looks like you're thinking about a lot of things here.
Your your friends are are here for you though, and she hugs you
tighter. Thanks.
So. Beach Day.
Beach day and then maybe we'll take off.
Yep. Oh, I haven't.
I am excited for the for the sea and that crystal didn't do what
you were suggesting there Roral it's.
Popped me up. At least enough for sure to get
back to Sorka trees. Now I was a little worried.
Oh. That's perfect, you know.
Shit, maybe we should go back and get more.
But we have them all. Oh, we told them all.
That we're in. That room.
Yeah, in that room, yes, we could go back for more, but I
know that the captain is very against like delaying our
departure. So maybe like later?
Let's go. Play around the volleyball guys
and then Fast forward through some sun tanning scenes and then
get out of here. Seems like the cobalts are still
finishing uploading the ship up next to you.
But if you guys what does volleyball do?
Nice is in your head. She hasn't been able to produce
sound out of the the thing you can sell.
Oh shit, we should get you a mouth.
And she? Like a magic.
Mouth. She moves an area where there
should be a mouth and she's just like, I've just been moving this
thing with the with the words that I'm producing in your
brains. Doing a great job.
Thanks. You're welcome, volleyball.
And I go break down the game. It's it's it's this game that
you play where you have a ball and you shoot it over a net and
try to land it on the other side on the ground.
And but you are on the other team and you're trying to not
let it touch the ground on your side, but on their side.
They wanted to touch the ground and then you win.
You can't kill anyone though not allowed.
They take, they disqualify you for that.
I mean, sounds like any other sports ball game that I know.
Are we allowed to use magic? You guys don't play death ball.
Hey, not in the elven territories where I was from.
Oh, back home. Geez, Death Ball was all the
rage. You have to.
Teach me that one time I don't have as much of A mortal body
anymore, I wouldn't have to worry about dying.
True. Oh, that's true.
We could probably adapt a bunch of ships if they were like all
near each other to play death ball, but.
Anyway. Holly Ball.
I could suggest some ideas, but I can't get that far from the
ship as we found. So perhaps the Cobalts next door
have a net and some sticks and a ball.
I I think I do have a ball on board somewhere at least.
Well, Nope. Nope, those are cannonballs.
She's like attached to those. We can't, can't use those.
That'd be a little. Hard.
I mean we could use a hollow dot coconut.
I can cast minor illusion. I think we.
Get a net. Oh.
We have penis pillows that. I think.
We have. Penis pillows.
Pete, Oh my God. I.
Think I I think I have a shark's bladder laying around somewhere.
I couldn't really do anything with it at the time.
Oh, that would work I guess. That's interesting.
I don't think I'd have the ability to form it into a ball,
though I could bring it out. Maybe one of you could.
Sure. I could try unless someone else
is better inclined. Give me a second, I'm looking.
And as a reference for yourself kiddo, I know she is aware of it
at least I'm I'm OK with you guys creating your own skills,
which I know Raul already has a crafting one for this.
That's why the first thing I was thinking of.
But you your first times around it would be based off of your
dexterity bonus and specifically your sleight of hand probably if
you're going for this type of crafting.
Although depending upon what crafting you're talking about
and if you want to be more specific, you could always
create any sort of custom skill is all I'm trying to say.
We we have characters that have bondage and accounting and house
cleaning and trying to think of some of.
The other, yeah, you got a lot of skills, man.
You got a lot of skills. Me.
She oh you. Mean so I can cast stone shape
if we find a stone and I could form if I like touch it.
I could think about it being like a hollow, but then still
have the stone perfect ball on the outside.
That's what we use for. Dead.
Ball. That's great.
Yeah. So is rock.
The dune comes back out from after like melding back it.
She looks like she she's walked into the side of the ship
actually like her form just melds into it just with all the
boards and then she it comes back with their rope and all and
she holds out the bladder. Thanks.
It's like I I kind of cut it up into a smaller portion.
The thing was pretty large. I don't know why they need such
large bladders I actually need. To know how probably to go
underwater, I look at the others.
I wonder if we could use sharks bladders and build some sort of
cool submarine. Extracted ball.
Ball, ball. OK.
And she grabs the the shark skin with her tinkerer's kit and
makes a ball. I can roll for you.
Don't. Know.
If you didn't want to create a skill, it would just be.
A. Sleight of Hand because you're
probably using a lot of dexterity in trying to like take
it, not only just roll it, but also like that's a big turn
around from the other one I'm guessing.
Seriously. I did we.
Didn't do what I'm saying. Did you use flash of Genius?
Because artificers have Flash of Genius, which basically is like
a rogue's reliable talent can't. Do anything else with a 20 No.
No, no, you, you create a perfectly spherical ball out of
this and apparently they don't have bladders, but we'll say
it's the, I don't know, stomach lining seems easiest I.
Didn't have weather, looks like a water.
Yeah. Yeah.
Water scrub. Exactly.
That's what I was going for. But I and I knew bladders were
the things that were used most for.
That's why I just said it. But I hadn't really about
shark's anatomy in a long time, so I hadn't realized they didn't
have a bladder. But so, yeah, you you create a
ball. It's it's really nice.
It's squishy. You're hesitant to blow it up,
probably, but you know that it it.
Feel like with a Nat 20, I feel like I blow up this thing and
it's perfect. I feel like it's perfection with
a 27. Tell you what, even better than
you, you take the, you take the bladder, you look at it, you
kind of look up into the air and get this sudden idea.
And with this flat acid material, you take it and you
whip it in the air just like around in a in a circle and
capture air at the same time. You tie it in a knot on one side
and look around swiftly and pull out some loose twine from a
dune's rope that doesn't seem to be holding her to the boat and
tie, tie the end of it and kind of just look around again and
start rubbing or start taking and cutting just the smallest
bit of the excess off basically. So there's just a this small
blemish of of where it was all tied together as a knot and you
kind of shove it back in with your thumb.
So there's like a belly button on one side.
Perfection. Wow.
Here. Try this and I toss it up and
and bap it. Volley it over to.
Rarl, Rarl, if you would roll me a charisma Shia to, you know,
bap it as you're saying and then you've got your choice there.
Rarl of. Bap it.
Wisdom, Dexter. Strength.
Gonna have to be DAX. If it was a one and he pops it.
I definitely am going to put my claws away or try to.
So acrobatics then? Or is it a save?
You can use acro. 11. August the 12 you just miss it.
You put your claws away and forgot that you put your claws
away for a second and it it gims across the top of your paw.
Normally my fingers are longer. No worries, I pick it.
Up are we saying? Already.
Where's the net? No, that was just the toss.
Oh. Oh.
It's OK, Let's see. OK, I don't have.
I mean, we have tons of Nets on board, so we should.
Be able to do that. Unless.
I think that makes more sense than a spell.
Well my illusion only lasts for a minute.
I mean I have a Cam trip but that's right so that'd be
annoying. I'll run up on board, grab a net
and then I guess where's a good spot on the beach I don't see
and in natural places that don't have trees next to them we could
do OK. How about we do between a dune
and this tree here in like a line?
You should have a draw tool. A line, line, line like that.
There, there it is. Wait, hold on, we'll have to go
dig up this weird mound of dirt here and I'll take out that
shovel that somebody lent me or ask for it if I don't currently
have it. As far as I listen back to, no
one asked for it back, which would be Shia who gave it to you
who was in possession of it before.
Pull it out, gesture to share. Remember I still have this, it's
yours. And I walk over and dig up, dig
a bunch of that dirt out of the way.
You are sorry. I'm guessing you're digging it
'cause this thing works a little bit differently.
You're digging it closer to this direction.
Yeah, I'm trying to flatten out the area so that we can play
volleyball. I get you.
I was. I was just double checking
'cause I was like, that's part of the underlying map though, so
I'll just draw a circle where you're you're digging it to.
Come on 2nd underground chest. Come on, baby.
Evens or odds? Evens you still know.
No, there's nothing. Under there, just a pile of
dirt. Shit, I kicked the dirt.
Stupid dirt. All right, and move it out of
the way. All right, now we can play
volleyball. OK, can I have this side?
It's. Near enough to a dune where she
can like, do her thing right? Yes, yes, that's true.
I guess I could take either side, but I would I would.
Whichever one you want to dune, I don't care.
Yeah, I could. I could.
I think I could manage. We could roll for odds and even
to. Yeah, for whose team is who?
Oh yeah, we got to choose the captains also.
I mean, are all the roles playing?
Look around. No, I mean I figure we have
enough people here for our 2V2. Yeah, that would probably be a
little unfair. Three more, although you could
have them out as a spare. True, just get too tired.
That doesn't seem fair. How about this?
I'll run over to them and then whisper in their ear and then
they'll run inside for a few minutes and then come out and
attempt to have dressed like cheerleaders.
I love it. Volleyball.
Cheerleaders, right? That's the thing.
I especially love Jeffrey's pink pom poms.
I do too. He's so perfect.
Wait, where did he get those? I don't know.
Why do they look? Are they not that they're made
out of guts? Let's not think about it.
OK. Give me ABB, give me ADD.
All right, Ready. Let's play.
It's it's. It's it's OK.
Well, who's rolling for first? Captain pick team side.
I think we should just roll for it and then.
Highest roll. Sure.
E 20 go. I don't know why that was
Ibaduni's voice, but. Oh.
Aduni did really well, yes. He did.
Wow, doing a good job. I want this side.
Sure, but who are you going to pick?
Oh I thought if I picked the side then the the next highest
would choose the first person on the team and then I would get
the other person. Seems fair.
Sure, I think Shea's missing. Yes, I am.
So I'm in the process of Gene D on my phone and then.
If you roll higher than A2, you're doing better than me.
So yeah, you get to choose who's on your team then.
Supposedly not a dune. I guess technically could be
because she just chose side. I feel like I'm I'm going to
choose a dune. We're on the side.
Nice one. Yeah, of course.
I'm going to go with the magic boat.
Right. Is that even a question?
All right, it's me and you, KIRO.
We will crush them. Yes, all right.
Do you want? Do you want to serve?
Or do you want me to serve? You're the host, so you serve
Adonai. OK.
And I said that's charisma, yes, it goes over the net, just
barely. Shia dives.
I'll try to react to it, I don't know how.
Yeah. So I figured, do we go into?
Initiative or is it? I figured going back and forth
you would kind of, we'd kind of just all take a turn and you
could choose. But if you've gone last, you
should probably like. We could, but we could maybe
like who roll a constitution and see who has the highest
constitution to go and then and then do the acrobatics.
Well, I was kind of. Like between me and KIRO you
mean? Yeah.
On. I was kind of.
Kind of go ahead, Josh. That it would just be a a back
and forth and less you chose to bump or set.
Bump it for me. So yeah, you guys could, you
guys can strategize is what I was getting at basically there,
'cause like so bump and set a bump is kind of like you you
pass basically to somebody the set you you're setting them up
to strike it, which is strength to or to spike it.
That's what I mean. And to counter a spike, you
would be rolling the acrobatics, yeah.
So what does a bump do 'cause if you're passing, you don't, you
pass. It in.
Both a set and a bump. You can bump it just to pass it
over the net. Even bump.
It got it. Heck, set it.
Bump, bump, bump. Bump set.
It would be, yeah. Set it.
Acro or Acrobatics or or Dex save.
Acrobatics for sure. I'll activate my.
No, I'm not going to do that. He activates his strap card.
I activate my superpower and go release it.
Now that would be unfair acrobatics.
Only an 8. I'm rolling like shit.
You still you still set it against the five.
Don't worry. And that's how I was figuring
this would go as it beep versus. Like so.
So it's set currently pop lock. And drop.
I don't know why Rule 20's doing too, but all my roles will be on
the left hand side of the column for some reason.
I'm just going to say everything's from the left hand
side. Oh, OK.
So 14 for your eight set. Efficiency, strength.
Yeah, the strength. Yeah, that makes sense.
So it is 14 and you're you're spiking it.
I'm spiking she'll. Make it.
Adune is moving very slowly towards the ball and not
managing it, it looks like, especially because she served
and she was back a little bit farther.
You want to and it's kind of how I figured too is like each each
side, each person would get a turn other than from serving.
But I don't know, it's up to you how you want to respond to the
spike because she's currently say calling for your help.
Bump is wisdom. The the set was dex or
acrobatics and strength is the spike and athletics and serve
was charisma. So maybe you should serve next
time. I don't know if the balls if
you're rolling the deck save now against that 14 or not, but I
know that. Are you talking to?
Who are you talking to? You sheer me, yeah.
Hey, give me a second hold on one.
Oh. It lands right in the sand,
splashing over you. Son of a bitch.
Guess it's their serve and point.
I don't know what you guys are calling yourselves.
What do you want to call ourselves?
The bad boys three that the boys 2.
Bad. Boys.
Yes, we're the bad boys. And I did it in my armor.
What? I think it's a bad voice
reference. OK, Do you want to set it or
should I? I guess I should.
I'm more charismatic probably. Yes.
OK, I will set it and I will set it or I will serve it and I will
do a little like hop skip forward to do so and then that.
That's a charisma, right? Just a straight charisma.
You you can choose to do other charisma based ones which are
performance deception as well as it would be accepted.
Go. Ahead and with persuasion, cause
I've got a + 12, I'm gonna, I'm gonna attempt seeing seeing that
Adune was slow as on the uptake, I'm going to secretly aim
towards her, but try to persuade them and to or yeah, I guess
I'll persuade them into thinking that I'm trying to get it
towards the back by Shia and then I will serve it 26.
Holy shit. Yes, I am quite persuasive.
Beautiful, Sir. Thank you.
She definitely does not have a + 10 so it goes right through her
arms as she was ready to bump it back over to you.
Looks down in the sand. Good, good point to bad boys.
Bad boys, what you want, what you going to do?
And she does bump it back over to you just for you to just for
fun to catch with us. Yeah, that's.
That's a nine now. It got bumped to me.
Yeah, just to catch, not like as a point.
She's didn't want to like, throw it over the net.
Oh, am I serving again then? Yeah, you got the point again,
20. Oh cool.
OK, do it again. Or.
Or KIRO. This time I'll wait.
KIRO, you do it. This time, it's only fair.
I'll toss it over to him. I will try.
Otherwise that might get on to fair very quickly.
Hero just kind of roars and goes up to serve it and try to
intimidate. Intimidate, you know, with
physique and armor all on, hitting the ball towards them
17. Geo.
Oh sorry, are are you hitting or OK?
Nevermind. It was keto from your coming to
your direction, so I kind of assumed. 28.
Oh. Yeah.
Are you bumping then or setting biking?
I am spiking. OK, there's the 28 strike
strength spiking back over to the other side.
He. Doesn't train.
He went getting that. You guys going to intentionally
fail or? No, I'll I'll jump into it.
I kind of like I KIRO and then seeing him not move, I'll I'll
dive towards it using feline agility to like double my
movement speed in the last second.
I'll. Set it.
Making eye contact with you. Did you like, look back?
All right, then I'll set it. I run forward 12.
Do I have to roll again or is that 20 contesting or do unless
we respond? That twelve was a set it kind of
like, so it's going straight up right now and I'm guessing is
getting keto ready to spike again.
Uh huh. So they wait, no, you had a 28
though, and the 12 was yeah, so. It was a response to my 28.
Yeah, so the 12's, right? I was I was reading.
Oh, I got it. I was reading in another
direction. Yeah.
So you, you go to try and set it there Rarl.
And when you're diving, you get a face full of sand in your fur
and everything too, as the ball bounces off your head.
Disgusting. Diego and.
Like. Chef.
Bumps a dune. You like belatedly like thrust
her chest out after you bumper but doesn't like even.
I feel like we need to do like. He's very solid.
Strength contest because I think she would have excitedly.
Yeah, go for it. She's she's pretty solid wood.
22 OH. Oh yeah, that was an 8.
She wasn't she she she thrusts her after you heard she tried to
like thrust bumps after you did it, but falls over like stumbled
at the very least. It was like oh very sports Bali.
I I didn't expect that. Whoops, sorry about that.
Good about my strength. All right, are you setting it
adire? I served last, so it should be
you all. Righty.
Let's go. Listen.
So you can use. Any.
Skill. Oh.
Any. Yeah, depending upon how you're
trying to like if you remember how Raul was explaining there,
you can, you can be like, I'm going to hit it towards you
Raul. And then if your deception is
good. I I'm gonna do intimidation.
Oh, OK. After Yeah.
She's. Like competitive, grew up with a
bunch of brothers, knows how to only do you know things at like
110%. So that is 17.
That against or. No.
So that was just for. Service.
I'm not sure. You can still run up to.
Jump and spike it right back. OK, OK.
And rules your strength or athletics etcetera.
So yeah. Team help me Ross and help me.
Dex Oh, that was not good. And I love Yeah.
Can I? It was -2 So it was.
Can I help? A9.
See if I can, or like a sleight of hand maybe to try to see if I
can catch it. Sure.
I mean, I rolled, I think that's, I think that's only
fair. I think that's how we should
actually be playing it. It's just back and forth and we
can both roll for either side. But strategy is important.
You guys have already figured out your strategy, which is
viral you're setting and then you're spiking I as I do and I
was just diving, still trying to figure out the rules and trying
to set it for you. We're not, Yeah, we're not.
I mean, I that happens all the time.
I mean, if you play volleyball, sometimes someone would like try
to hit it and we'll like funk it or be like go to miss it and
we'll dive behind them and like slide and pop it, you know, like
underneath. And if we pop it up, I'll
probably be popping it up. So that's like a that's a 17 to
save. And then I'd probably say a dune
has to roll again and has to beat a 17 to get it back over or
wait or whatever. I don't know what it was.
Oh yeah. Yeah, if you're trying to save
it, yeah. You would have to be.
Yours. No.
Sound on the bench? Oh, wait, yeah, no roars out.
That's a stupid Yeah, I I always get her or strengthen her
constitution mixed up there for a second.
She's got +4 for strength and +5 for Kong, so yeah.
No, she she like, she like sees you do that and then still like,
stands up as the ball is coming down and misjudges and the the
ball still hits her like on the top of the head and then it
pings off foul, I think. Does that still count as a point
for them? No.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah. No, No.
Yes. No.
Yes, yes. Maybe if you guys are counting
that, I'm not counting that. I mean.
I think that's 333. Yeah, three, one.
Then if that point is counted, here you go.
Well, she, I'm guessing, would get that ball and pass it back
over. Yep.
Yeah, I'll grab it and I'll go to serve and I will use this
time. This time I'm going to use
stealth to like try to trick you by like making it look like I
hit it and then I like stop the past mid air and then I hit it
like a second later to make you like jump scare.
So that'll I'll I'll use stealth with a + 10.
I am a sneaky rogue 16. Oh, so you make it look like
you're gonna hit it, but then you don't.
So I kind of like overcompensate.
Mm hmm. Like make you jump too soon.
Yeah, no, if you want to try and get get in there again, yeah,
he's very slow. Great is the.
Is the secondary reaction at disadvantage or no?
What do you mean secondary? Oh.
No, we're. Reacting.
We're reacting. To I would say the first fail.
I would say like if he goes to the first person they keep it up
and every other person after that I would say it would knock
it down. Right.
It it's the same rule for me at least.
Well, no, He's saying that my reaction would be would.
Be. Like oh reaction if you don't
hit it then that would be disadvantage and at
disadvantage. I'm an 8.
And that's up to Josh. I'm just thinking like you're
jumping in a second after trying to like save the situation.
I mean I'm I fail both times either way so.
Oh, OK, OK, that made it. Makes it easy Second.
Easy enough. Failing both times at least.
So yeah, ball splashes again against the sand.
Like, jeez, do you think we got we should switch up the teams or
something? Dune passes it back over to you
guys. I mean, we'd have to do that at
the end of the turn of the game. What are we playing to?
We're at 41 currently. I'm pretty sure games go to
seven, right? I don't know.
Nodding to you for the answer. I don't, I don't know, never
played this game. Don't worry, we'll get, we'll
get, we'll get there. And she like, Pats her on the
back. OK, let's let's just say.
Inspiration. Go for it.
Magic has not been. I mean, she's a freaking Bard.
Yeah. Oh, I just keep scrolling her
sheet, which I have made-up, and it's literally a ship sheet.
So I'm like, I don't know, I could like I could like
magically amplify in a field area.
Possibly I could thrust. Well.
She's got hands now. You get you.
Get a bardic inspiration and whenever you want you can add AD
10. To.
One of your ability checks, attack rules, or saving throws?
Yeah. Oh yeah.
All right, I think it's Kira's turn to serve.
KIRO, KIRO, he's our man. If he can't do it, no one can.
He's using the right true intimidation track.
That one, Yep, it it, it hits the net.
OK, it could have been crit, it could have been that one, but I
chose the left side. You did.
Hits the net.
Ross and Save Me. I'll jump in and try to.
If it's, it's that it doesn't cause a serve.
Oh. Yeah.
Dang. I got, I guess to try again.
Yeah, we we try again to get it over.
We'll give you this one. Go ahead kiddo, Try again.
Wait, can you do that? I don't know.
I figured we're just playing a friendly game here.
Friendly. That's cute.
I take the wrong. Side I'm sorry I made the net
like AAC in my mind. I didn't say this one out loud,
but I was like, it's gotta be like A5 like right, So I'm
pretty sure you hit it again. Yep.
And I've kind of seen the in the opposite direction of it would
normally be for the net at least because like to hit you need at
at least a 5 for that. But I I think you guys have the
same one. Yep.
So it hits the net again. Yep, it's y'all's ball down.
Oh, it was a good try. Does that count as a point for
us? I think it probably does at this
point. Yeah, she she has been putting
points in the sand. What do we get?
I don't know. 3:00 to 4:00. OK, so was it my turn?
Can you guys see my little notes?
Oh yeah, we can. OK, Yeah.
I've been. I didn't realize it was OK.
My turn. I think it's my turn.
Oh, I think it is your turn. Yep, Yep, Yep.
Go ahead. You got this 20.
Which? The.
She does, She's not super charismatic either so it's only
like a + 1. It's only 21, but still.
That's still really good. OK, Do we even get to contest
that? Yeah.
OK, I. Feel like wait, wait, wait,
wait. I feel like if you roll A20 on
your serve, that should be an automatic like Spike.
Yeah, I think you're probably. Great.
Yeah, on your. Serve.
Or on a just like. If we're all in.
Agreement. Just looking at from my point,
like I feel like if you guys roll the 20 on a set, I would be
like you, you got that like. I agree.
Yeah, if we're all in agreeance. Woo.
Nice 1A dune. Oh, you see?
I told you. You'd get it.
We're getting. Close.
Catch it up all right? I think it's your turn to serve.
Great, and I am. Why why you're doing that to the
Cobalts have stopped loading over there and they're looking
pretty interested over at us like.
What the hell is these people doing?
That is a 28 value. It was a nine, a 19 + 9 Ross.
Ross do that thing. Do that thing.
I do that thing. Do that thing.
I attempt to set I using I guess acrobatics.
Yep. 28 I don't know. 17 I'm not going to be able to get.
That you got a chance there still to save KIRO.
Yep, I'm going to see. Yep, all KIRO has is strength,
so he's going to attempt to flap it back.
Nope. You guys don't land on top of
each other at least. But you guys both land in the
sand and the ball lands just behind.
Misjudge. Quite.
Yeah, exactly. You're going.
The scream. Was that in a deception or
intimidation? You didn't?
I don't think I heard. Mine.
Oh, it was. A.
Performance. Ah, OK.
I figure that makes sense, yeah. So you kind of probably ended up
taking it and tossing it up in the air this time to making it
all dramatic and waiting until the very last moment and serving
it over right when you right when you were about to though
you do you took a note from Rahl's book book probably and
served it a half second later then then they.
Were and. They dived.
Oh, is it my turn already again, Cobolts?
See you guys, see us all doing there tossing.
Get the ball tossed back over to a dune.
And she waves over at them. Hello.
And. They're they're like, what are
you doing? Playing a game.
Oh, that looks fun. Oh, we don't get to have a lot
of fun on Shonda's crew. Oh.
Are you welcome? A union.
You're welcome to come over and play when you're done or now or
whatever. I don't know whatever you're
doing. Well, it looks like this is
pretty entertaining for us to watch.
I mean, is that OK? We could probably cook up a BBQ
for you while you're playing. Fuck yeah, that sounds great.
OK. They start pulling stuff out, go
to their ship and start setting up a BBQ.
All right, well, I guess it's my turn.
Here it comes. I'm even for you.
Mr. And she doesn't say anything or aim in any particular
direction. And it that is A7.
And kiros on. It with a clap back he he is
spiking it back. It it, it made it over the net,
but. Yep. 18.
No. Oh, that was the athletics.
You said Spike. That's strength.
Oh. Right, duh.
I keep getting in my mind I athletics and acrobatics.
I don't know what it is about them.
They're like the same. Thing it sounds the.
Same. It has the same.
Acrobatics. Athletics.
There's A's. Yeah, well, and, and for me at
least, acrobats are athletes. I don't know.
Anyways, so you, yeah, spike it back over with an 18, assuming
that'd be ushiest since I served, but to go first at
least. Are you guys talking to me?
I'll try it, sorry. Oh. 19 I said it.
I said it for you. OK.
I'm coming, I'm coming. Sorry, my partner made me
dinner. Aw, I.
Was just thanking him. No.
Worries. What am I doing?
I just set the ball for you. Oh, OK.
Just just and then just spike it over, spike it over with a
stripe. That athletic strength.
Yep. Oh. 15.
Ross. Run in set 18 Spike.
Oh man, it's. Over the net.
Hit the nine, Yeah, it's over the net.
I couldn't get the momentum. It's OK.
I bump it. Do you hear as it comes over?
Nice, I'm gonna you're gonna trash back again, even though
that is not my strong suit. I.
Was an 18 and then I went down to A2 so I'm at an 8 eight to
hit that. Well, no, you didn't have.
To. You didn't have to.
I was going to say it still made it over the net and I bumped it
over to you, so it was just a pass.
You didn't have to. You didn't have to compete with
mine. So OK, OK, OK.
That's what I was hoping. For me to compete with, right?
Orkuto. I'll go forward.
Oh, go ahead. I was like, so how Like it
barely came over, spike it back down over 13.
Oh man. I dive to set it.
Set is acro. Just bit it, just barely set it.
Wait, you said it, Josh. Yeah, I said it for you.
Oh. OK, I was going to try to set it
for you. For a dune.
Yeah, sure. Let's go Strength.
I'll let you set it next time, she says.
Rushing It 17. Rosen, It runs forward.
I'm going to try to spike it. That one's using Athletics or
Acrobatics, right? Strength.
Just strength, strength. Then I'm going to set it.
I'm gonna set it and. Change my mind at the last
second set 20. Wow.
For that was a Nat 20, was it? Not a natty.
Coming back behind you with a 24 spike it.
Holy shit. Oh.
You got this? No help.
I'm gonna shut. You're on.
That's in rapid fire. Pop pop pop pop pop. 15.
Oh. I tried to I do not I.
Try to come in right after. Nope, no.
Yeah, you don't even have to roll another on the.
One where? Where?
Five to five, five to five, I guess it's your serve.
Nice, I'll serve unless you want to KIRO.
Oh no, he's letting rollers. Rollers, he said.
It. Let me go serve it.
Rarlson will return back to his original, where he will attempt
to make it seem. I'm trying to persuade them that
I am going to the right side, when instead I'm going to the
left. 15I rolled a three. I'm so sad that's.
It. Oh shit.
In your minds, you. Oh, that was weird.
That devil roll on my side. At least you hear a dune making
grunts in your guys's mind. Not verbally verbally, obviously
still to come over to try and bump it, but it doesn't quite
look like it's working. Oh, we're going 15.
Yeah, I got a 15 with a with A2. Rolls lower are the rolls. 15
whatever the fuck that's called a disadvantage.
Thank you. Disadvantage.
It's pizza. Yeah, it's a pizza and that,
what was that one? Though just feed it.
Oh, that was an. Acrobatics OK, so it it's set,
so now I have to roll spike it that is a 17.
No, I'm sorry, I keep. 4. 60 Spike. 16.
Yeah, that's the 16 to spike back over.
Them I'll jump on it if Kira doesn't.
Oh, Kira's about to jump on it. Go for.
It I don't bone it. 22 Jesus, I see your spike with my spike.
Are you 22? Spike back.
Yeah, he did. Spike back.
I keep. I keep creating on the.
I keep creating on the right side.
I see that. It's like God.
I chose poorly. I'm going to probably respond.
I'll do an acrobatics to set it. That's a 20.
Oh. We got past. 82 was high.
It was. Also adoonie remember the
inspiration it's. It's another.
It's not gonna help well. It's a It's a good.
Shot we still, we still got a we still got a shot.
They've only got up to six now. Toss the.
Ball back. Over.
Oh boy. Dang it.
I guess I will set it again or serve it again.
Is that? Howard Yeah, it's your guy's
turn. Yep.
What wait you? Didn't.
Use your last, wasn't it? Isn't it Kyoto's turn?
I'm heroes off. He's opting not to do it.
He doesn't want to. It doesn't want to.
OK, well, I think you're
supposed to if, if you win, if you get that point, I think
you're you are supposed to go again.
Are. You.
I think I remember that. I will set it.
I will be intimidating while I while I preserve it look.
He's so scary. Look intimidating?
Like a Big Bear. You got it over the net.
You did. You did.
I intimidated the net. Holy shit.
What? Just barely.
Yeah, you did. Just barely.
OK. That net knows better now.
I'm gonna try to spike it. Get it?
Get that bread. Spike it Is there only one
strength skills? I think so.
Wow. I didn't realize that athletics.
Yeah, we used to. We used to have a lot more back
in the day. 22 has a spike. Smack it back.
Bump it back, bump it up, bump. It up bump.
It in the bumping, I bump it so hard. 21 What was the What was
her role? 22 you.
No. Because.
Right. Can I?
Can I react to it? Oh God, can I just.
We're not going to talk about it's.
Advantage with the net one disadvantage.
Yeah, I'm just going to say this.
Yeah. Yeah, net one disadvantage I
feel like you have you like hurt yourself.
Like. Hurt my pride. 1D four.
Emotional damage. Fell into the fell face first
into the sand. Powerful sand.
Emotional. Damage.
That's all that really hurts, Kira emotional.
That was a good, good one. Now we're tied for the last
point. Sorry.
No worries, I'm trying to remember did I serve or did I
think I? Think you served here You.
Go. And I'm going to serve.
Oh my God, I was going to do. I'm going to do stealth for a
deck, Sir, which I'm surprised I haven't tried it before.
Yeah. Oh.
Oh shit, sorry. I was like, why haven't?
Why haven't I used stealth? Because I have a + 12, I
wouldn't want to use persuasion by chance or anything.
That's what I've been using. Persuasion.
Yeah, I've been persuading you that I've been like shooting at
one place. Yeah.
To be like. 34 I feel like I'm insane.
I don't know. Wow, 34 no.
No, that was a Nat. 20, yeah. So I think that was we decided
too that Nat 20 is a. Just hairy.
Yeah, that's a home run and then she is going to go.
Yeah, that's games, is what we said anyways.
Was 7. I mean, unless you go by
volleyball rules where you have to win by two do.
That I mean, if that's the rules.
Yeah, one more, one more, one more, one more.
She she she goes and she, she hits a gun 32.
Not natural. Not natural.
Not a natural 32.
Thank God you guys have. Been using the wrong thing.
There's no way. The only thing I have is
persuasion and that's a + 12 so I'd have to get a natty 20.
Natty it, natty it is your things have happened.
Yeah, but like bumping is not but you can only use persuasion
on. Serving, you said, yeah,
because. I have to use acrobatics.
Wisdom is the bump, Dex is the set.
Got it, Wisdom is trash so I'm going to use acrobatics but I
guess if I get in at E 20, Nope, good game.
Yep. I mean, let's add that 20th.
Hold on, I'll just buy that 20th for you.
Yeah, you could too. No.
The crowd goes wild of the cobalts behind us like that's
done and bring brings over a chest full of well, a crate
full. Sorry, not a chest that they
have crates brings over a crate full and it's like, wait, it
looks like they're celebrating right on that side and they come
over with a with the crates, one each for Chia and and a dune of
coconut water. It looks like as they splash it
over us. Yay.
That's nice it. Was refreshing I think.
I can't feel it, but and following them behind them.
Oh, the, the, the BBQ's, the BBQ's not quite dead yet, but we
did make some drinks. Oh, sweet, some fresh cuts with
a flour in each one and and they're they're all right.
Not the strongest I've I've made with some of the grog we've got
going around, but it'll it'll put something, some fires in
your guts. Happy fires in my guts.
So. You know, expression red cobalts
fire, yes. We we always like to sorry, I
was we like to cheers, but when we cheers, we make the sound of
Thunder, you know, because we're we're electric.
We're lightning. Yeah, right.
So no, no, no, not that like real Thunder, you know.
Yeah, yeah, she like makes a Thunder sound.
That's a 25 performance to make a very realistic, super loud
Thunder sound. Well.
Did that come through? Yeah, it did.
It was perfect. Cool.
That was scary. So what do you got is one we've
got going on the grill some some vegetable Y things that we found
on the island that kind of kind of interesting like a like a
like a potato. Is it like cassava?
Is that how you say that? I don't know.
Oh, I mean, sure, we would like to try it.
We've got a whole. I think there's like random
goats around that we could randomly hunt down too.
Oh yeah, some of those are Shandars, but we, we've got some
of that. We've also got some other meats.
We, we like our meats here. So we've got quite a lot of
braised, braised porks. Don't eat people, right, People?
What's a people? You don't say that.
God, it's so rude. They're call bolts.
I knew a guy wants to hate people.
He was just a turtle. But but what's a people Is it?
You mean like humans? I mean, sometimes.
Sentient creatures. Creatures who think.
Oh, yeah. I mean, we try to stay away from
them. But you know, if one, if, if
we're, if we're really desperate, obviously, you know,
it's neat. You're not desperate now, right?
No. No, don't worry.
All right then, let's do it. Let's have a barbecue and then
cool sail off into the sunset. Oh, OK, yeah, that sounds, I
mean, fun. You can.
You're going to Socrates too or yes.
Oh OK business there. Yeah, our new captain is sounded
like he's going to take a stop somewhere, but we're going to
Circuitis after that, so. Oh.
Cool. Maybe we'll see you there.
Hey, why don't we meet up there and we'll talk more about this
whole union thing? We are unified with Shondar, if
that's what you mean. He looks shifty side, side, side
to side and. We are all unified with Shondar.
Of course we are. And I give him the big wink and
then give him the address for oh God, what was the pink plush
pig? This is where we normally hang
out. Oh, fancy.
Oh, it looks like there's an invitation.
I haven't been here. I've had good things.
Have an illusion room 0. Is that what the kids are doing
these days? I've I haven't been to a a club
in a day ever. Usually I'm working all the
time. But if you're one of Jandar's
business associates and I have some free time.
I can do. I can swing by.
Time you deserve. You deserve.
Vacation days, my friend. We'll talk.
OK, bye. And he says why he's you're
waving by. I got the board with him.
Hey, guys. Oh hey, oh, hey, Mark.
Hey, how's it going? Guys are you?
You probably come back to them like set up in the sand, making
sand chairs and sipping on cool coconut beverages.
Oh, I wanted to try something. Can I?
Make. A sandcastle.
Yeah. And then hit it with my electric
breath Waxman and see if it turns into glass.
It would actually turn into something else.
I don't know if you know what it's called, but it's pretty
cool. I can tell you that you want to
roll the a sleight of hand unless you want to make a sand
castle making. Scoop, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I want to see how good the sand castle is 14.
It's it's, you know, it's right, you probably, you probably model
it after your own castles that you're familiar with and it has
a couple towers on it. And I mean, it probably wouldn't
pass muster in some of the academic setting, but it looks,
it looks good, it's passable. It's people wouldn't look at it
and go that's just looks like a pile of sand.
Definitely castle. Definitely Castle.
There's definitely some castle edge in there and then I'm going
to blue blow my breath weapon, lightning breath weapon at it.
OK. I don't know if you need me to
roll damage or. You could roll the hit and then
damage I think. Or no, it doesn't not need to
roll the hit. Was it yours 'cause I know that
they're lying. Itch.
Or cones or what have you. I.
Believe it's a. Blue.
Such a screech line I. Think deck save.
Yeah. Yeah, it's your deck save
against the sands deck save. Yeah it it fails, but I was
going more so for if it's a line or or what not to because I
think it has a distance on it. 15 foot or depends on level.
I think it's it's bigger. Because then I would have to ask
where you're building this thing, presumably in and out of
weight shot. Range area is
or probably a 30 foot. Line or is it 30?
I can never, I can never remember between like chromatics
and metallics because some have lines, some have cones.
Right. That's why I.
Was asking. Is it just a dragonborn?
What kind of dragon are you? Blue Dragonborn.
Blue lightning 5 by 30 line dex. Is to alert the 30 yeah.
So you'd probably build something upper door and aim
inland. I would guess I.
Feel like like this? Something like what you said
like this and I thought. Yeah, some drawing.
Down here, down here. Oh, so you're going to, you're
going to shoot out towards the out towards the ocean.
Yes, electrocute the fishes for the BBQ.
Yeah, like this, this direction. What's?
That like. Make. 5530.
Oh, it's a line. So if you're if you're standing
here, it would be a straight line and five, five feet 555.
So that's what I was guessing anyways.
You could aim it in this direction too, obviously, but
that would be sketch for a dune. Aim it.
Where? It won't hit anything right
besides the sandcastle. What is the deck save though?
That thing that the thing that. 17.
OK, yeah, it just makes it so only taking half damage.
You see a shark Bob up above water for a second and blow out
a steam of of of water after you blow your breath.
And as the the dust clears on the castle you see a fogel right
castle in front of you Is what it's called when lightning
strikes in. Yes.
Going after the shark. It went back under after.
That's. Fine, I how much damage did it
take? By the way?
The half damage didn't rule damage.
Oh, you're like 18. I did though, actually that was.
To hit. Roll damage because I wasn't
thinking about damage. Right.
OK. 46, 18. Wow, that was.
A bit. I guess that.
Yeah, it it still went back under.
It did not Bob back up to the waves.
I go for it. Since my last level I've taken
an invocation that gives me a movement speed or a swim speed
equal to my movement and I can breathe underwater.
I thought I'd remember I'm an all terrain Kitty cat now.
OK. And I take off.
What's your speed 30? It's 30 right now.
I can double it to 60 and then I can action dash and bonus action
dash so I can get 180 per turn. It only takes you to dash to get
after it. It's swimming speed it.
Well, no, because it would probably dash away from you as
well. So, so you can dash and then you
then what was your next move after dashing because it would
dash away from you like I said. If it can like is it?
Am I within like striking range? Not, not at the current moment.
I mean, it would, it would keep its current, it would keep
distance enough to away. Double dash.
The double dash. What's that again?
Sorry. I have the I can action dash and
then as a rogue I can use my bonus action to dash.
OK. So yeah, on that move, yes, it
you would have it because it's only got 80 feet with a dash.
Right. So I would be able to double
dash and then on the next round I would be able to single dash
and catch up with it and then I would make a a melee strike
against it with my claws in an attempt to punch it to death.
Actions. If it was technically the old
dust days, if we're doing technicalities to in your you
were moving forward into range of it, it would have been
holding an attack as a reaction for the round to bite you as you
got into a range. That's fine, I assumed it didn't
dash. It had dashed originally, but it
does not have a a bonus or a reaction dash.
But a held action is a is to use their action, right?
No, yes, no, because you can hold a React, you can.
That was something that I your. Reaction to hold your action
right. Yes, you, you have one reaction
per round. And it was something that I
looked up actually specifically for like fighters and that and
that class too, because you don't get a lot of reactions or
opportunity attacks as they're generally referred to as, but
you can hold like a reaction, so to say.
For, well, you use your. Yeah, you use your reaction to
hold the action until like the opportune time.
Yep. If that's true, and that's what
it's doing, it cannot then use its action on its turn to dash.
Right. That just means I get my bonus
action back. Probably doesn't hit anyways
because this is a six going to fail all right.
And then if it stopped and went on the attack then I will go
full attack and swing at it three times, two with my action
with thirsting blade and one as a bonus action 'cause I am dual
wielding. I don't know if you need all
that, but you can roll the first one to hit.
Yeah, 19 Oh yeah, and here's the giant pool of damage from the
crazy thing. So how did that work again?
Is that 7 and 29 together? Oh, 41?
I see the 41 down to the bottom. That troubles me.
For me. So yeah, yeah.
I mean, yeah, one punch. Yeah.
You go right for the gills and just rip them straight through,
hitting the heart on the way. Nice and I grab it and I swim
back to shore for the Barton. Now we have Shark for BBQ.
Swimming back to shore, you hear the Jaws music in your mind.
I don't know music, right? Where you guys see like the
shark fin poke up above water? Heading.
Very quickly, straight for like you guys before, right at the
end I pop out completely wet and soaked but dragging this huge
shark behind me and I say hey guys, I've got some stuff for
the BBQ. What's your passive perception?
Me or who? Yeah.
Passive perception is 15. Yeah, you would have before
getting back to shore, 'cause you're swimming with a shark
too, so your speed is definitely reduced.
Half yeah to drag. Yeah, you see a much larger
shadow coming up from below you as you're swimming back to shore
with the shark. Did you kill the?
Baby drops the first shark, his eyes opening wider and dilating
as Hunter mode is now engaged and he will use his he will
activate his claws to increase his Dexterity.
Four charges, additional 2D8 to base decks or two D8 to
strength. So I'll use two charges.
Yeah, so my Dexterity increases by 14.
Oh, and base X does. Yeah, that's your your item,
dude. All I know.
I will use the shit out of it. It's a literal God table.
What do you want from me? That's fair, all right.
So. Pops me up to a solid 28.
What does that give you as a bonus even?
Isn't that plus still only +5? Or does that keep adding?
No, there is a a maximum. Let me look it up.
Yeah. That's temporary too, I know.
Trying to find it because I I can't update my ability.
Oh, I guess I could. If I did.
This and then just added another.
Modifier override score. There we go.
Modifier +9. There it is.
And I guess I will. Am I close enough to the surface
to like notify the others of what's incoming?
Yeah. Oh yeah.
All right, I pop up. There you go.
Hey guys, there's a big monster coming.
I'm going to fight it if you want to join.
It's hard. Do we know?
Do we know it's bad or? I don't know.
A shark was bad. Was it, what was it doing?
I shocked it. I mean living its best life and
I come in here and rip it a new one.
Are sharks bad? Are goats bad?
And we fed like 20 of them to Shondar?
Are you a vegan? No, but I think that I don't
need to be a vegan to think that a a basic animal is.
Unless it's doing something, I don't think we should be trying
to kill it. Then.
Then we should not farm any animals.
That that is not what I meant I mean.
We. Are going in to this shark's?
What's the reason for killing it besides just?
Food. We have enough food.
Well, they were looking for other things to put on the BBQ.
Also, sorry dear you to intervene, but we don't.
Yeah, we needed more food. That was their point.
Oh, OK. So.
I mean, is either this or well. Nuts.
I have a good bit of coconuts still.
Yeah, we can. I mean, we can definitely.
Sorry, I didn't realize that that was the the goal was to get
more shark specifically. I.
Think it's just. Creature of opportunity, but
yeah. Yeah, I think you're good.
I'm going to go scavenging for for maybe some plantage that we
could or buried or something. Sure, it's cuter waiting in to
help rural. Oh yeah, girl's going to help
rural. All right.
That's when the initiative would start then OK, I don't have.
Let's wake it up on here. First turn order.
Here we go. Oh, not going to do it again.
No, this is silly 29 initiative. Dang.
Do I have to? For sure wait until I get a
Sentinel shield. What?
Was yours KIRO 14? 14 Yep.
At. 14 all right, Laurel, what are you doing to the shadow with
giant shadow also, do you want me to add you in here she is so
you can explain what you're doing or you want to come back
and circle around after the fight I.
Mean I'll probably circle around the fight I mean, I don't know
if this is a good time. I don't know if you guys see a
significant let me let me go first.
I haven't slept in a long time and I'm very tired and I was
very excited to play D&D. But as 9:00 rolls around I'm
hitting a very hard wall because I'm running on like 3 hours of
sleep. So if I'm going to go
scavenging, maybe this would be a good time to leave to go to
bed? Sure, yeah.
OK. Wonderful.
You made it on on board and I'll set AI will write down a
reminder currently so that next session we can roll for what you
find. I did roll on 19 for survival or
I don't I guess it would it be nature.
Had this explained to me one once before, but I think nature
is is applicable as well. Is it like knowledge of?
Wait for gathering. It would be survival.
Yeah, I agree. Because nature is kind of like a
misnomer cause unless you're, unless you know specifically the
area that you're in too, because you're using your memory of
known plants in that case and things, Whereas survival would
be, you know, that this plant looks similar to that plant.
And you, you, you know also too that like if you pick this
plant, you know, one of the ways to test whether or not it's
poisonous is to just rub it on your lips a little bit.
And if there's any tingling sensation, then it's not good.
OK, yeah, I rolled a 19 for survival.
OK. With that, I'm gonna drop my
phone like it's a mic and say goodnight.
He's out homie. Have a good night.
See ya. Bye.
So yeah, Rarrel. As this thing keeps coming up
from the deep, he's going to use his so I can see its shadow.
Can I target it with anything? I mean, yeah, you, you know, the
mass is below you for sure. And it it it, it's got shark
like features. Three is a bonus action 2 cast
hex blades Kurtz on it once it's within 30 feet I guess.
Is it? I don't know how far away it is.
Sure. Yes, it is within 30 feet.
So hex blades curse for one minute against the target target
creature. I have a + 4 bonus to damage
rules and I score critical hit in a 19 or 20 and then I will
use my spell, my action Dang, let's say to summon a shadow
spawn. Let's see.
Actually no I won't do that. I'll just use Eldridge blast on
it from range until it gets closer to me.
OK, natty one to hit. No.
Does not hit. Dang, all right, that'll be my
turn. I guess I'll move use my
movement speed to move closer to KIRO.
Move closer to me. Uh huh.
Eldridge Blast reminds me, is that based?
Isn't that based on your warlock abilities?
Yeah, it's charisma. And with a natural one, you
would you would hear your God. You must pay more homage to me.
No, I'm trying. Taxes.
Like when you get, for some reason I imagine him saying it
in the in the voice of actually. Like please insert one more
token. Oh shit, pay to play shit is
awful. That's my turn, all right.
It immediately goes for you and the shark that you're holding.
Having smelt blood in the water, it gets advantage.
Fuck off pal. Blood in water.
Oh boy, let me make sure that that 22 I'm guessing hits
without needing to roll again. Roll again.
Roll again with a 22. Roll again.
Nice. OK. 15 I'll shield as the ring I
recently got and is fill of Shields activates as one of my
Shields goes off and my AC increases to 23 for the rest of
the turn. Fuck you dude.
You see the jaws close around your shield and and.
Take a camera and take a picture.
Mouth is big enough to swallow you whole and this and take a
chunk out of the smaller shark. If not, most likely swallow it
whole too, although it would have to chew at least for it.
Probably or nothing. But yeah, that's its turn.
That would be ghetto. All right, so KIRO is going to,
let's see. Had to bring in the big things
all right bonus action utilizing stances and shifting into what
is known as the which I I linked this inside the chat.
So you have to see it lifting into the dragon stance as a
bonus action and then utilize my movement to get down to Rawerson
right back. Had to be in the water, didn't
you? Mm hmm.
It's a shit. That's where it lives.
All right, and then I will utilize let's.
See. Which while and while in the
dragon stance and wielding my weapon, I have a +2 bonus to my
AC Additionally, once per round while I'm wielding my weapon,
the first attack made against me will be at disadvantage.
OK, very nice. And I will utilize sensing
Dragon stance, I will utilize the charging thrust I attack,
and I will spend one of my stance points to get.
Basically that allows me to do an extra D8 of piercing damage
on hit. God, what does he have to do,
actually? The dragon stance look like I
haven't a mat. So so let's see, the dragon
stance is basically he basically he cools up like coils like how
a you would see like a big like the long serpent Asian Dragons.
He's kind of cooled up and then moves in to strike.
And, you know, that cooled action is what, you know, kind
of keeps you where it's hard to hit him because he's all coiled.
OK. And pulling A roll to try to hit
you. All right.
Where is my attack? There you are.
There it goes. I think.
Hold on. Both to hit.
No. Yeah. 12 to hit.
I'm not sure what this thing is. So I'm going to go 12 to hit.
It doesn't hit, but I I still maintain my dragon stance.
So sorry. Sorry Ross.
No, no. You come in just in time, up to
your up, up to your waist, just a little bit past and you
misjudge as you're getting into your stance.
Probably haven't practiced in waves for a while.
And as the as its jaw was coming out to bite around Raul and it
locks around the shield, you go to stab towards it, but kind of
hit its tooth more than anything else.
So it's kind of tinks off. All right, I think that's Raul
how that worked. I'm not sure how this keeps
changing shit here for some reason, but it is your turn
then, Raul, right? Ghetto.
Yep, maybe his. 19 maybe? Sorry, I had my, I had my mic
up. There's a.
Free. Market sale going free market, I
gotta go no? Let's see 4th.
Level or higher. I'm lay up there just at 10
feet. Can't regain you hit points.
All right, I will cast spirit shroud on myself and display in
BTT I call forth the spirits of the dead.
I'm not going to do that. It's going to be spirits of cats
and the cats flit around me during the spells duration.
The spirits are intangible and invulnerable until all my
attacks make one D8 extra damage when you hit with an attack
within 10 feet of you, and then I will use my bonus action to
dodge so it will have disadvantage on attacks against
me on its turn. The casting time for Spirit
Shroud was a bonus action, so you're using your action to
dodge, you said. Yeah, OK.
Oh wait, no, oh wait, Spirit Shroud's only a bonus action.
Never mind, I'm punching twice. I'm wrong then.
Sorry, I thought I had to use the anyway.
Then I will attack twice. It's not at at advantage, right
'cause he's next to me. Who's next to you, you mean?
I don't. I don't know if you use
flanking. Yeah, well, we're not
technically flanked right now. I'm not in position yet.
No, you guys are right in front of it right now.
Technically you would have to get at least into like this
square. I mean potentially say this
square because it can have full motion of its head over to the
square. OK.
I mean then can I move? I mean, can I actually, can I
climb it and then climb it up here and start attacking it from
the top this area without like provoking opportunity?
I don't see where you're at. I have to move.
Oh, you're all the way up there. No, you would not be able to.
Not you. You would still provoke
opportunity if you're climbing over its face, basically.
But if you're. Yeah.
Can I just move to where I would be able to clink with it using
regular movement speed or no? That that would also provoke it
in my mind because you're here. That's the end, end of its range
of movement basically for its head.
I mean, right, so. I need to be fully behind it for
that, OK. Well, where you were, where you
were at would be flanking. I agree with you there, because
that's right up on its gills too.
But it I was saying like, if you move out of that, like here, let
me do this, it's gonna be clear. Draw.
So this square 3 by 3 area. This square you wouldn't provoke
the opportunity to attack because it's still with it.
You're still within range. You're out of range to attack
currently here and would provoke the opportunity to attack but
gain flanking at that point. Not worth it, I'll just punch
twice. OK.
Punch him in the face, all right?
Punch him in the face. I will Curt on a 19 to 20. 27 to
hit. Oh yeah, is that a crit or No, I
don't 13 OK, I was going to say. And a 30 to hit.
Jeez. So that was also not a crack
because it was 17 to hit. Oh close though.
And now we roll the the the damage.
It'll get 2. It'll get this twice and then
plus 2D8 damage from the spirit shroud.
And this'll do all kinds of hurt.
And then Garrett Shroud, radiant, roll radiant.
Roll. There so. -9 more. 50 oh wait.
Plus plus my hex blades attack stuff.
Yeah. Wait, did you?
Cast it on this or did you cast it on the other one?
I cast it on the big thing as it as it was coming up on turn 1.
OK, I thought it was on the other one for some reason in my
memory. So it'll be so this +87, it'll
be 50909798, a hundred and four 100 and well, total damage to
this thing. You see, where are you striking
by the way? Or are you striking by the way?
I'm gonna punch it right in the side of the head.
OK. Because I I've heard like you,
if you punch like a a shark gun and like the nose or the head,
it's like disoriented some right at the just clawing at the side
of his face. You see it shake its head after
you've struck it those quick in quick succession.
That and your spells sink in with the spirits coming through
and it and then finally the hex take effect and you can see it's
pupils dilate and it kind of just stay at stay there for a
second. But it doesn't, it doesn't go
down. It is not unconscious or dead.
Big boy. All right, what's the turn?
And So what was the cooling on the?
Why do they keep doing that? For some reason it just keeps
adding up. You see that if I keep just
pressing next, it just keeps adding.
To the to. The freaking OH.
To like the. Turnover there.
Yeah, the turnover there, I keep pressing next and then it just
keeps adding. Oh, that's weird.
Yeah, I don't know what I did there.
I mean, we know the order. Yeah, so the the shark goes in
to try and like as it's shaking it off and its eyes are
bloodshot and you see some blood dripping from its eyes and
nostrils. It it's though still kind of in
a frenzy, you can tell and trying to go for you and the
other shark. You said that that would that
shield only lasted 11 turn right.
'Cause it's gone but I have 5 uses.
Yeah, it is. It is definitely going back for
another another round. It's not intelligent, I'll tell
you that. Natural 110.
Hell yeah. What does it get for the?
Natalie, he gets he. Gets advantage to.
I forgot about that with the blood.
It loves blood. Give me the blood.
Blood, the foot, the blood, the God damn I'll have to use a
shield. That one was barely worth it.
Still trying to bite and it doesn't doesn't quite understand
why I can't get to you. But then it would be Kyoto's
turn. All right.
And it's at this point probably too like there you can see it's
not beached itself, but the waves are cresting around it and
it would have to forcibly. But I'm sure.
Yeah. Is that a 7 to hit?
Yep. Yeah.
Yep. What?
What wasn't your? Oh, bud.
That's it. Next time I'm picking right, I'm
picking the right side and then watch.
When I pick the right side, the left goes off.
What if you switch to chimera stance quickly?
Oh. Switch over to I can't bonus
action. Switch to Chimera.
Yeah. Let's switch, let's see if oh, I
have advantage. Bonus action switch over
Chimera. Now I'm going to smash this guy.
Please be nice, be nice. Let me hit it.
Oh, come on. Dude.
I don't know what's up with these two different rolls.
We're gonna take that 23 from the first one.
Go ahead and rule damage. This is what I was going to do
in the 1st place before you rolled again 'cause I was like
just making. Sure.
Yeah, I have no idea what's going on with that thing
damaged. There we go.
It'll be. 7 plus 817 points of damage is He pierces in and then
slices. You want to tell me how you're
killed in this thing? When he comes in because he sees
Ross and give it the 1-2 right to the face, Kira sees the
opening and shoves the tip of his blade up into the base of
the the jaw where it's the softest and then slices straight
down. Jaw comes off and blood spurts
everywhere across the sea the the waves.
And you guys see as it washes out farther into the waves, a
frenzy of other sharks farther off shore there.
It looks like the blood circulates out that way just
going at each other, some probably killing each other over
the the blood that's in the water.
The infinite XP glitch. We should just stay here and
kill sharks. I mean for food.
Actually, this is probably what I should roll Jesus Christ.
Wow. I have Eldridge blast at 300
feet. I could just sit on shore and
just like blast. Oh, that's silly.
Yeah, I was just trying to figure out how many fucking
sharks were there, and apparently the dice say 98.
Fuck yeah. Look, Adune said earlier too
that she was low on stock as well.
So if we killed 98 sharks, that just means we have 98 sharks to
eat, right? It means Adune doesn't have to
use her magic rock powers to feed us.
I nod to myself. That makes sense.
Do you want to just roll a percentile to see how many you
get before they disperse? I mean, we have to kill this
thing first and then we'll do that.
They're both like I'm not going to ignore the giant monster
still actively trying to kill me.
Oh, no, it's dead. No, he did.
Yeah. Oh, you killed it.
Yes. Yeah, you put it right at the
edge. High 5 High 5I mean Do you have
any range options KIRO? No, you would be blasting them.
They'd be coming and then I'd be hacking is what would be happy.
Got it. So need. 100 to see how many we
get. Yeah, I mean, I think the way
that I'll I'll work it then is with my swim and water breathing
abilities, I can I'll dash forward like get a bunch of
their attention, bring the men, then we'll, you know, wade
halfway into the water and just start hacking, slashing and
rinse and repeat. Be like we get abunay, can you
just like grab them and like load them up as we go?
I don't. Know we get 18 of them before we
get tired. That's what I got for
percentiles. Unless you want rolling.
There you go. See what you get if you're
adding. OK.
And 18 seems seems good. That's a.
Lot. 19 plus the thing. 20 total.
That feels like a good number. Yeah, it's a great number.
Do need response to your request of well I haven't figured out
exactly how to make my wood self swim very good but if you drag
him. But I'm sure I could get him
from there. Oh sure, KIRO calls for Timothy.
Timothy. Comes padding out on deck and it
was. Oh yes.
He'll grab some more Cobalts from the other ship, they have
lots to bring in. I don't know if I could
acquisition them necessarily. I think I would have to put in
an order to Shondar for the use of the neighbors.
The what? The ones on the other ship,
Timothy. The ones on the other ship.
Yeah, yeah. The other ship is.
Those belong to Shandar. That's our other ship.
It's.
That's not our other ship. No, yeah, no.
You didn't get that in your agreements.
Yeah, just just go over here, he points.
We need additional ships we only have. 1.
Because yeah, go Culver and I are the only thing that you, you
bargained for for besides the exclusive trade rights, which
mean good, good bargaining for sure.
Yeah, I know. Gonna be huge.
Look into the stock market. We're going to be blowing up.
I haven't really bought many stockades recently.
No, it's not what they are. I'll send you a pamphlet, OK?
I'll get my siblings and they'll also help us with five of us.
It should make quick work. Oh yeah, yeah.
Bring the big one on 1st and then all in we could get cool
sharks in the boots or something else.
Shark teeth. I look at the big sharks and I
think to myself that could be a making of a submarine.
You guys want to roll me a Constitution saving throw too?
Yep, probably with disadvantage considering the circumstances.
No. What is it for?
I'll take the night 19 there for.
You all right? It wasn't a natural one.
It was a 2 -, 2, right? Wait, is that right?
Yeah, yeah, you rolled A2. My con is 6.
That can't be. Oh that's weird.
Your Con is +6 or. A.
No, but the number is 6. Oh no, that's right.
Yeah, you should have a -, 2 if you only have 6 constitution.
But that's what I'm saying like like that's a wildly low number
for any like person to have. Oh.
'Cause my, oh wait, no, my con score says it's 14.
It says OK you rolled D 21 + 2. Oh, there's an override score in
in my score calculations. Oh, I think I clicked on it and
if you like scroll up and down it like adds a number in.
OK, my modifier is +2 so I still rolled A2 A 1 + 2 so I still got
a three. Oh, OK, so you rolled a natural
one? I was just confused as we had a
-2 con. I'm like, I'm not a sickly, poor
child. I didn't think, I didn't think
that was the case either. But yeah, you get back to shore
and you're like Jeffrey Growl and Yarl deal with this.
You're you're woked from. I'm exhausted.
Going around on the waves. Same with your.
Take a nap on the beach with the the captain.
And kiddo, you're feeling. A little like I did it with my
armor. Yeah, a little down, but you're
not like at nearly as as as much you're you're probably more
excited for the grilling and the BBQ that's coming up.
So we're. Making sashimi and sushi.
Probably a good good part to leave with so that there's the.
Oh yeah, definitely. Good goodbyes being had and
everything across the board and then.
Yep. Setting sail back to setting.
Sail. We fly kites from the back.
They smell of grilled fish, a hull full of dangerous
explosives and profit on the horizon.
Or massive the profit. The profit was going to happen.
Or or or massive debt with buying a bunch of ships.
I mean, here's the thing, we're the good guys, right?
So like, couldn't we get the Queen to hire us as privateers
and then we just acquire? Some ships.
From a foreign power, I mean, technically we're the good guys.
We're legally doing it. She might have some means for
you to do so. There are quite a good bit of
pirates in the region. Exactly.
We could fight pirates by picking their ships and turning
them into profitable, functional ships of society that work for
us. Oh.
And even better if they're undead ships full of
necromancers. Which is.
Possible composing the underground, the under not not
with the explosives we want. Oh no.
Curious to deliver those grounds.
I don't know later if you'd be running into some undead pirates
anytime they haven't made it to the seas yet.
Got it. They're still underwater.
So OK, then that begs the next question.
Eventually we're going to have to go underwater.
So I think we need to get our artificer to retrofit this giant
shark that we just killed into a sub or a dune could just be a
sub, since she would be able to. That's what we need to do next.
Yeah. We need to get a dune, a swim
speed. She's gonna have a a float
speed, a fly speed. She'll get a swim speed.
Oh, I can't. That could be possible.
I mean, I, I have means to do all of the direction you guys
could, hopefully all the direction you guys can think of
once once you get there, because that's what I've been mulling
about the whole time you've been at Shondars Island.
I think it's worked out for me at least in that regard of like
planning. Whenever I first started out, I
did not expect to provide a whole entire city and for
everybody to fuck off. Oh, that, that oh, oh, when
player, when players go off off script, like your when players
go off your initial script. I I love that because like it
gives you this, you have so much time to go.
Really, I did not expect to do that, but you know what?
That's a great idea. Yeah, no, I everything gets to.
Build. But it's definitely prepared me
as well as a as Adm to like. I'm just thinking I'm not I
I've. Got like directions in in like
so I I think in like stepping stones now.
So like currently you guys are on Shondars Island and I have
kind of that area fleshed out, so to say with with good decent
bones that if I needed to and there wasn't an area with flesh
on it that I could throw some flesh on it really quick for the
analogy, at least it works. But and that's kind of and
that's where it's with circuit ease to when it's coming, when
you guys are coming back there, you when you're getting there.
There was a direction that that things could have gone in, but
now those directions have changed in likelihoods of those
directions. So I've had to throw more flesh
and bones in different directions to build the story
out in those possible areas. Well I think Shia being on board
is definitely going to re point us back towards a main plot once
Adune gets wings. Of becoming gods.
Well I don't, I thought her whole thing was like the anti
undead stuff. That's KIRO.
Yeah, the the.
Making dead dead. She was just trying to get rid
of the contract that she hit. Unfortunately, it kind of stuck
the rum rollers with. And KIRO has KIRO has the cure.
What's the cure? Kill all the necromancers.
Oh. That's a good cure, but there's
a whole underwater necromancer city, right?
Like. There's some sort of underwater
underwater entity creature city thing that's like stealing
people's magic and stuff I. Was going to say that's not even
you got that right. But except for the necromancer
parts, the necromancers are their own thing.
The underwater portion is another thing.
Like another entity. Yeah, you got.
Multiple stuff going on and we're just.
Like sailing, we're sale. We're just sailing, we're
starting businesses. Yeah.
Oh I get. Either way, I think it would be
a great idea to get a do name more more things.
More. Options, but the only direction
that Rural has for your information Joss, obviously
besides running a company, becoming a successful
capitalist, and quashing unions, he he has.
There's an entire island of Tabaxi out there that's sinking
due to climate change and Rural and his siblings are one of the
like litters that were sent out to try to find a better like
future for his like tribe. I like it.
And the only thing I've thought so far is that they would become
employees of the trading company once we get ships.
OK, they could probably. I thought you'd said something
about them having had some sailing in their background at
one point too. And.
My background the this character came from another pirate game.
So to, to, to build off of that, one of the things that may have
happened. And so there's kind of like when
I say I've got bones and flesh and stuff in different
direction, there's kind of like 3 directions that I can
foreseeably expect, you know, you guys going, but it's still A
roll of the dice every time, obviously.
But is the, the necromancy cult right it and going and finishing
that plot line out there is the underwater folks that you guys
don't know much about other than that they steal people's magic.
And you don't know about the storylines that have happened in
this campaign. But I was when I was going back
and reviewing and I'll I'll eventually get to conglomerating
all the way back from way back. A recap first, Alalopolis for
sure, because the evil campaign of Manny Polis doesn't have much
in the way of of of direction besides now finally getting into
the levels of hell anyways. But the thing that I was I was
going to try and say is there was another character that
started off from the beginning that left off just before the
Crystal Tower. And his name was Evandor.
And he was another pirate. We have several pirates in in in
and amongst the crew as well. And what had happened though
when he left off, he kind of knew because he was going to go
back and get his masters. And so I kind of I kind of set
set up a good a farewell for him in the campaign, which was the
pirate queen came and took him back as as her lover.
And the pirate queen was a tabaxi AI wanted to say like a
Siamese Tabaxi. Are also now has goals.
Yeah. Goals.
And so it would make sense that it would make sense that there
are other tabaxis on other islands that the that have
landed in and probably partake in a lot of pirate tearing.
They just make such good pirates, what can I say?
They do. I mean the climb speed.
Alone. Classic.
Yeah, I mean, one of my good friends, Thomas, he has a, he
plays a tabaxi named Mr. Vergara.
And Mr. Bagheera is awesome. I love that.
I love that character so much. He is currently the he is the
first mate to my world's basically Davy Jones.
Oh. It's it's awesome.
That is awesome. Only without, you know, looking
like a squid and you know, stuff like.
That being a mind flayer. Yeah, no mind Flare.
He's a He's a small gnome named Yeah.
That's the other thing that I find interesting about how I've
set everything up anyways, is because you guys haven't
interacted with all the races that are on the planet so far.
And other than maybe like in passing, you might see him in
the city or something like that. But like as a culture, people
will racially separate just because like races generally
form based on, in my mind anyways, because of climate and
elements around that area, including magical climates, you
know. So depending upon the magic in
an area, you might get dwarves magic in another area you might
get elves. You know, and and because of
that. I mean it just makes sense they
would have a. Homeland.
Yeah, exactly like. Everyone does.
Yeah. Did mix and blah blah blah, but
it's not a it's not Lord Of or the new the new Lord of the
Rings TV show. Oh, I haven't watched any of
that. It's bad.
Smooth jab, smooth jab, bad smooth jab, smooth jab.
It was subtle. It was subtle.
Thank you. The biggest complaint I had for
it was the showrunners clearly didn't want, they were trying to
go for it to make like each of the different cities and
regions, like culturally distinct, but like also not
profile them to like specific actor races or ethnicities or
anything. Oh, they feel they feel that
way. Yeah.
So like every group was just like an equal mix of just like
everyone, but then like just kind of wearing different
clothes. Yeah.
That's weird. I mean, I mean, it's bad.
I mean, I mean, yeah, I under, I understand they didn't get
access to all of like they didn't get access to the
Cimerylli and they didn't get access to, you know, some of the
appendices and some of the, you know, Tolkien's notes.
But I mean, the, the appendices that are inside of like, you
know, the backs of, you know, the Fellowship of the Ring Two
Towers and the, you know, my ring just farted out Return of
the King. You know, those appendices, they
have a lot of good stuff. It's just it doesn't have a lot
to really grasp it. I mean, Matt, was it me or did
it feel just really speed up to you, man?
Like super speed up to you, Yeah.
For sure. Like, I mean, they, they, they,
they, they basically just kind of like washed over like the
Dago Braggolath. They the you know, all of those
really cool like battles and events, you know, Baron and
Lutheran would have been a great thing to see And and you know,
because that's during the Simerilian first age.
I mean this stuff. Their big their big problem was
that like they were trying to make a show because obviously
this that, you know, Lord of the Rings doesn't have like a marvel
esque series of like TV shows and like movies to like use as
backing. So they're trying to like,
broadly catch a whole bunch of shit to like, you know, cast a
big gnat, right? Oh yeah.
And then and then hopefully eventually go back in and do
those individual stories. But I agree, it's just.
Yeah. The whole show is just some
studio director's checklist from a focus group on what's most
popular nowadays. What what's what what's funny is
that What again, though? Rings of Power, it's on.
I didn't watch that one. Yeah, so but now what I am
excited for and is actually the War of the Row hero, because
it's an animated it's it's animated and you can take.
So the great thing about animation is you can take your
time. You don't have to rush.
You can play out the story. That's I guess that's why, you
know, anime does so well compared to other freaking, you
know, series is because you can stay 100% to the character full
stop, because it's animated. You don't.
Doesn't matter, it's animated. It's not under the same
restrictions, yeah. Exactly.
There's there's no restriction of this person's not playing
this person, this person's not playing that person.
It's all animation. But you know, that's OK.
I mean, like I said, you know, people got to work, you know,
actors got to act. So I mean, that's what you can't
really, you know, you can only knock live action so much.
My thing is that if you're going to do a live action, kind of,
you know, be true to the source material.
That's always hard. Yeah, that's that's a hard 1.
The adaption is very difficult to do.
Oh yeah, like the only people I've seen that have actually
done a good job at it, Peter Jackson, Officer Peter Jackson
did a great job. And the adaptations of The
Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, all of that.
He did a phenomenal job, Funny enough for that.
The boys on Amazon Prime, the boys, they have done a
absolutely great job going through that for live action.
Live action, I feel it's done good.
Nothing Disney, nothing. Disney live action has nothing.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I mean that they were good for
what they did, but it just, it just didn't hit, hit the same,
you know what I mean? It did not hit the same with.
Me Andor was good, but yeah. Did you just throw Andor out
there? I liked Andora, it's not based
on a book but. It was, it's kind of I, I feel
like you already know what's going to happen to the main
character. So it's like.
Sure. Same thing with Rogue One.
You knew what was going to happen.
Yeah, yeah. You knew everyone was going to
die. I know that's the bad part.
Like my son was like when when when I took my son to go watch
that movie, he was all excited. And then I'm like, I like in the
back of my mind, I already knew what was coming.
Like I knew that they were going to lose.
And so when it started to happen, he's just like, no.
And I'm still going crap, this, this, this still sucks.
And I know what's happening. But I think that that makes for
such a such a good opportunity for a movie where like the
audience knows everybody's going to die in the end, so they just
make a huge spectacle and they poke fun of it like the whole
time. I love that.
Yeah, just like, yeah, you know, the the prequels, the prequels,
everybody knows Anakin Skywalker is going to fall and become
Darth Vader. But the whole time during
watching the Clone Wars animated series, watching the movies,
you're like, no, no, no, not any, not any.
And then BAM, the OB the OB Amy fight happens.
And then there's tons of like instances of like like
foreshadowing and like clever cameras, like where, you know,
putting Palpatine like between Anakin and like Obi Wan and like
a bunch of stuff like that. Like if they it can be done and
it can be done good. It's just you know, it's hard to
do it but it is. I am going to jump off though if
that's the end of the session I need to use.
The little boys room. The little boys room.
All righty guys. Good game.
We restocked the Dune both with. Crystal.
And and. Sushi.
Applies sushi, so. And the energy the episode's
now. The episode's name is now Sushi
for Everyone. Sushi for everybody sushi.
Yes. If you if you want it.
I'll put it who wants it? Sushi.
For everyone. Sushani all.
