Hello Fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the campaign.
Many polos. Why are you recording me, Craig?
You're so fucking creepy. I'm in the bathroom.
I was pinching it off, but now Moore's coming.
I don't know how to stop it now A.
Nervous Player. The Hand of Fate tosses.
The dice rolls, spins, turns. A campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that become stories.
Stories flow out into the infinite sea, painting it with
legends. Legends wash up on the shores
throughout the Infinite Sea, fading to myth until myths are
forgotten and the campaign that gave it birth comes again and
again. The Hand of Fate tosses.
The dice rolls, spins turn hitherto the Shadow Seekers were
left in the fifth level of hell just inside of the crop
Acropolis. Having executed a plan
flawlessly with Zach, Mame, Franklin and Vomayra enter the
black void of a door into a near pitch black room with noticeable
piles of clattering bones. Franklin left behind some of his
cricket friends outside of said door with a hope that they would
return with some zombie friends, which they have yet to do
following an all nighter where he had bargained with the doors
to build a prison inside the subdimensional pocket rocket.
One in their betting with Zach, with the test of the rest of the
shadow seekers having piled inside the aforementioned rock
for safekeeping and after said out piling of of other
companions, proceeded to capture and seize some of the pile.
The the zombies or no skeletons that were revealed with
Franklin's porch and then corralled inside of the pocket
rocket into the aforementioned prison.
And after after having removed the root, the rise zone roots of
skulls that lay under the piles of bones, the company of shadow
seekers being reduced to Franklin, Ash and Flint found
the the the way ahead wrapped booby trapped in fact with
pitfalls. And this is where we left the
Shadow seekers. Let's see what happens this
time. So from my to you're actually
still in the pocket Rocket. And do you know what you would
have done having been in the entry and then not being able to
see anything and say I'm out. You guys figured that out right
now. I just had to go in back into
the bed chamber for a short rest.
But. Yeah, I mean, I probably spent
some time like examining my mushrooms, testing doses.
Where were those mushrooms acquired from?
Again, the. Into the sidecrest round.
Ohh yeah. Speaking of which, you are
looking through those mushrooms and you actually were probably
busy from being in that. That Ishamel's tower is what it
was that you were doing last, actually, and you had gotten to
Level 3 just after watching the A, a newer companion you hadn't
seen before failing die from Dragon Blood Ooze, and then made
it to Level 3 with Ash and MoMA before something very large and
with a lot of teeth swallowed you whole.
All three of you. While you're looking inside of
your inventory, though, you should see some of the other
things that have appeared. I was.
Looking at by. Oh, astral diamonds.
Yep. Yeah, you.
The only new thing it's you've already got it equipped.
I just went over to your page. It's the blue.
It's the blue one, very top of your inventory.
Oh, bracer of daggers, yeah. It's an action from pool 2 magic
digest from the person you need to crawl it or vanishes if you
don't crawl it. Nice.
I've been looking for something like this, Seems the gods have
provided it seems. They have, so the question is
and so is it the same role? Is it like the same like dagger
role? Yep.
OK. I just wasn't sure if I needed
to basically for like just for these sake too.
I would guess that as an explanation here, you pull it
out, you look at it and you see these kind of.
I probably like just like, Chuck 'em.
I probably start chucking about the walls, see, like messing
around with this to like well, I probably investigate it first
and then yeah. I Chuck some daggers like do
something like. Miscellaneous arm movements to
see like which arm movement chucks the daggers and like
figure out like what happens and you you find that the insets
where there there there are dagger shapes in there are more
of a suggestion and you take some of the daggers from your
belt and put it on the on the Brazier and it kind of it kind
of becomes. And you use them, yeah, on on
the side of it. So you can see them there and
you can you can you can imagine that you could probably when
taking them out, reset it by putting a new dagger in its spot
if say you acquired a a cooler one that you wanna use instead
of just the basic ones. OK, but like, I put the basic
daggers in there and then check them and they reappear back in
the bracer. Yep, sweet.
And then if I find fancy daggers, I can put the fancy
daggers in the bracer. Oh oh, that's interesting,
because then I can upgrade the like what Dagger gets and
goggling supply of ooh ooh I don't.
Like it? What happens if you put a poison
dagger on it? I get unlimited poison daggers.
Well, in my head I'll let the DM determine if that's actually
you. Gotta try it in in a in a
fashion it's not. So when you pull the dagger out,
the the embossment goes away until it hits something and then
it goes right back. So you you'll have to play
around with it and you'll figure out something.
Yeah, that's in court. But yeah, the other thing that
you're noticing is on top of this bag of shiny new gems,
which you only. Know ohh the are is that the are
the shiny gems as in the actual diamonds or the shiny gems as in
the. The Ruby, the 2 Ruby gems and
rings that I got off the thigh, Right?
No, it's the it's the bag of the astral.
Yep, the Astral Diamonds. It's a little sack.
Well, not so little cuz there's about 250 of them, although each
one of them's probably teardrop shaped and no bigger than your
pinky. Each but perfectly crafted and.
Astral Diamonds There's a note on there as well that's just
says from Ishamel on how to return for your compliance and a
thank you for your participating in the Tower of Ishamel.
Simply swallow an astral diamond before sleep and return you
shall. Also, we can go back and get
more shit well. No, because it was just just
seeing how many levels we get through.
Like traveling you mean? Well, it was like it was like he
was like see how many levels he get through for dying.
Ohh. And then I think, depending on
how many levels he got through, he thought something.
Ohh man. Because if you die, if you die
in, it smells Tower. You don't die in real life.
You just get like, responding to like, real life, but.
It. Means, at least from my
experience, you respond with some goodies.
I also have an Astral diamond, though I am not inside the
pocket rocket I would imagine right now.
In order that you do your swell power.
Like, I'm probably just like happily playing with my fucking
shit. And then while you're doing.
It depending on the mushrooms, there's there's a chance I'm
like tripping while playing with these daggers.
It's. The best way?
Fucking seeing shit in the wall and throwing at it and like
almost murdering my companions. Oh yeah, I appreciate the note
that you took that put next to it because that jogged my memory
now. So the the little dose that
you'd had in the tower had seemed to be completely worn off
by the time you'd come back to. But you did still have them.
And the the the micro dose, if you will, that you took just now
while you were going through your inventory and trying to
figure out what exactly it does, You immediately go ahead and
roll me a Dexterity with disadvantage for when you're
playing with the knives there just to.
I know there's a way to set disadvantage right click.
On Dexterity, do you want a saving throw or just like A roll
saving throw? Right click.
Aha. 25 Is that really a
disadvantage? Shouldn't it show two?
It should. I'm only seeing the one as well
on this end. Yeah, that's weird.
I definitely set disadvantage on that.
And a 19, you amazing. Yes, let's go you.
And that's not even critical. That's not even a Yeah, you are
tough tossing the daggers around and.
How can like spinning them through my fingers?
Yep, and you catch it by the blade as a distracting sound
comes through of a of a clang on the on the on a cell door, and
from farther away probably multiple clangs.
It sounds like bones on metal and you see a bit of blood
drawn, but you don't feel any pain from that and you're
wondering if the mushrooms are the cause of that effect and
also the clang. Cuz I don't feel any.
I don't feel like a sting from being like knit.
The clang also has no. It doesn't doesn't seem to set
your you on guard as much as you would before you're confident
whatever it is you can deal with.
Oh, so it's like a little low confidence booster, no pain.
Pain. No gain.
They're fly ash mushrooms, if you know anything about those.
Fly. Ash.
Is that like, a real life thing? Yeah, I think I got the name
right. Why?
Maybe I didn't. Yeah, I got it.
For some reason it wasn't coming up though.
Maybe it's because I spelled it wrong?
Is it? And it's a common it's it's
also. A FLYASH.
Yeah, there's a common misnomer on it is also.
Why? Because that's one of its
misnomers. I see a lot of shit about like
fillers. The the other name form are fly
ag, agric no it's spelled like not aggregate like.
Fly agric? Yeah, exactly like.
Amantia Muscaria. Yep, that's probably something.
Yeah, of their actual name would.
Would it be calling out as the Fly the Garrick or Fly Amantia?
Is a Bazi Dio my set day of the genius Amantia northern
hemisphere. Ohh, it's one of the most iconic
digital species. It is.
It's like you're like quintessential like mushroom
like. The red and white one.
Yeah. Mario.
Mushroom.
I've got a photograph of one of those that I took on a
Mountaineer here. Just to my right, I'm looking at
it right. Now ohh yeah Yep The Smurfs.
Yeah, some Mario and like The Smurfs.
Yeah. I don't know where the Fly Ash
nomenclature comes from, but you can find them under that name
too on the on the rare occasion it's must be, like I said, a
misnomer. Somebody must have told me it
went in my youth and. Actually calls it at that
anymore, but Yep, so and it was a lot of that that you got, you
know that you had like 4. I got a lot of classic mushrooms
in my that's what they're called now.
Lots of mushrooms. Also fun classics.
They're, yeah, because it's like a classic looking like your
bunch of essential red cap with white dots.
What the Berserkers would use a lot.
At least the Agarrick brethren. I don't know if it was that
breed. So I just don't feel shit and
think I can do bullshit. Yeah, yeah.
And you're feeling pretty confident and everything around
you is seeming smaller. Smaller.
Yeah. You don't.
I'm a giant now where you
actually touched something it does.
It does feel like it's normal size, but everything else seems
smaller. Everything.
Like farther away? No, not quite.
Like it's like you're like seeing, not.
Not that it's farther, not that it's farther away, but like,
things that aren't in my, like, immediate vicinity, I feel like
I'm larger too. Yeah.
I heard some like, clanking and shit, you said.
I heard clanking. Yeah, but.
I wasn't like put on edge. I was just like, Yep, you'd
heard it from a a northeasterly direction from you were
realizing probably the the cage that that was to be to be used
as a. Ohh, the middle cage that we're
gonna keep shit in. I like look over at Bobby.
Is she like passed out or like mommy is passed out?
I like, look over to her and like, start to talk to her and
then I realize she's passed out like shit.
I like gather up my stuff. Let's hold on.
Let me remind myself some symptoms.
Where is it? OK, here we go.
So I'm feeling good. All right.
I'm going to do some. I'm going to do a little, a
little bump of MSG, do a little little cross crossover to make
myself invincible. Uppers and Downers the best
combination. Well, our are pressures
considered Downers? No, they're hallucinogenic.
Straight up, right? There's they're just amplifiers.
Yeah. So it's like they're not up,
they're not down, but just whatever is going on.
And then I'll be, yeah, more intense.
So I'm doing like a in the middle of an upper, and I was
just going back to trying to go back to it.
So Yep, magic saw to the gods. It's a constitution.
No, you're. Tempting.
They dose, Yeah, dust within 12 hours of the previous.
You've definitely used it within 12 hours from the previous time
that you used it. Well, yeah.
Well, so we already know that I'm addicted to it.
The question is, it's like what stage are?
Yeah. Well because I'm guessing like I
like fluctuate between stages but like age 1 and.
It's all it's already been determined that I have
addiction. So yes, it's just.
A determination of like how high I am to determine like which
stage to what or if I get close to an overdose, which is kind of
hard to keep track between sessions as a.
She'll probably start like taking notes from that, yeah.
If you could put it in your notes, that would probably be
the best solution. Yeah, and and the conditions.
For that. So I can like at least track
like which stages I was at at what point.
Yeah, condition doesn't really have something like that in
there already. There's gotta be a way to
determine like like a time frame for like when do you drop
stages? Yep.
You know, yeah. And that's.
Increase stages, that's when it that's where it was saying like
those 1212 hours in between of the previous use then it, then
you get you're running the risk of increasing the stage.
OK, so you said constitution, saving and and and and.
Sorry, I I'll have to recorrect it here because I went back down
to the addiction portion of and it says really will save, which
is wisdom. So, oh, so do you want me to do
a constitution to determine what stage or wisdom, Wisdom.
Wisdom. Wisdom to determine what stage
Wisdom saving throw, Yes. It's not awesome.
Oh, it's not bad 15. You're still at the stage one,
which is a -, 1 two intelligent and wisdom.
I need permanently paper so. I'm still, I mean, I'm coasting
at stage one, but I've also had the mushrooms on me and it takes
2 times as much usually as as a usual user, but it's still only
like. Right, I'm like to going through
it, but I'm so affecting so at. Stage 1 Yep, kind of keeping
that level there. You you you, you felt yourself
starting to take be taken over by the mushroom but you kind of.
But you feel yourself level out, probably with taking taking a
hit of the MSG and you are are still or were you making your
way to the? Oh yeah, I was gonna get off
with it. So you basically just did a wake
and bake kind? Of it's fine.
What's? Going on around here?
Smoke, smoke, smoke, snort. I'm nom nom snort start.
Start on that. And some daggers for my fingers.
All right, let's go. You get to the edge of the bed
chamber and use the indicate this giant amalgamation of bones
that it's just a pile of these. It's kind of amorphous because
it's looking like it's having trouble to fit in the cage in
the 1st place because there's so much bones.
It's, you know, fluid almost floor to ceiling of bones in
this in this cell right now. But you also see Griselda, who
was trying to, as you were just coming around the corner, stick
their hand inside of the cage, their skeletal hand, mind you,
to try and. Stuck her skeletal hand into the
skeleton inside the cage, through the bars, like she'd
stood up on a box down on a lower level, and was sticking
her, her skeletal hand through the bars into the to touch the
mass of bones inside of the that are moving and wriggling, mind
you and rattling against the bars, which you realize.
But they're not a form, Yes. Yeah, there, there, there's just
a bunch. Pile of them that are like
shaking around. Yep.
And as her hand crosses the bars and you make it the way the rest
over there, probably watching what happens, you see her arm
basically start to to to get pulled into the mess and I all
automatically freak. Out.
I'm like Chris. Out, yeah.
Take your hand out. Take it out and out.
And I like Rush to like pull her hand out of them like out of the
out of the bars, if that makes sense.
She like, she's sticking her hand in and I like see all that
happen and I freak out like Chris.
Out. I get your hand out of there and
I like, rush up to her and like. Attempt to like, pull her arm
like, back from the cage. Fuck that.
Lose you guys? I hear you.
Oh. OK.
I hear you, Franklin. Hello.
Should we lose Josh? We may have.
I'm here. I heard.
I heard what you're saying.
It was it. There was some technical
difficulties, but I caught all of it by skipping between my
phone and my computer as as those were getting worked out.
OK, OK, so you what I was trying to say though, when you're
asking that my mic just wasn't coming through for that second,
I had to reset it. But you were up on a mezzanine
level there at the same point as where Griselda was reaching up
into this cage. So she's standing on these boxes
and you came down either either a ladder or you vaulted over the
edge and to try and get to her, I'm not.
So we're vaulting. We're definitely vaulting.
So you're gonna wanna roll me an acrobatics for that?
Yep. We are definitely vaulting
because oh hell yeah, Nat 20. Oh, yes, yeah.
Let's go, let's talk and go. I like, yeah, I'm like.
I'm like like. Slightly tripping, but like
feeling good, feeling invincible.
And like I see one of my party members like and I'm just like
she's in danger. I'm not save her and I just
fucking launch. Like launch off the mezzanine,
onto the box. We know you're gonna do good on
this one, so you're going to need to for the removal of her.
Well, actually, you get, you get over there.
No problem. You get on, you get a hold of
her. Yeah.
And you're gonna need a strength.
I thought it was gonna be a dexterity to get a hold of her,
but I think you you've already got a hold of her at this point
and you're already holding on. It's just gonna be so to.
Strength saving or straight up strength.
This would be a Strength check in this case, like they're.
Both the same for me right now. Yep.
And they should be, more or less.
I probably And you only only start to pull her a slight bit
back as the bones realize that you are doing so and you noticed
that all the way up to her shoulder is now basically mulled
flesh and you can see the bone all the way through and and and
her her flesh is schleffing off quite easily as it as it were
already. You know.
So she's just still screaming out of shock.
Pure shock, it seems like because she didn't.
She had a some sort of glint in her eye when she was reaching up
for it. But now you see her being fully
pulled in by what looks like a whole arm has somehow got a hold
of her arm, and there's a second arm now on her arm and pull it.
She's all the way up to her. Her head is almost through the
bars. And no.
I just start as soon as you, as soon as you, you start screaming
a mouth. Go ahead.
Ohh nevermind I got it. Sorry.
My I thought I had my laptop plugged in, but then it gave me
a low battery 5 figured out, so I think we're good.
Well, as soon as you see her head start to come in through
the bars, you see a a mouth full of teeth.
No, no, no skin on it per se, but it is definitely of some
sort of beast inside of this mass and it engulfs her head
fully in one bite, almost even off to one side of its mouth,
not as full mouth and just crushes it and she goes limp,
limp in your head hands. Oh shit.
And she ate the scream. Stop.
She just get eaten by a. Phone monster.
Be completely clear here. Completely meta too.
She was looking to switch out her characters, so she gave me
permission to kill her tonight and I was so happy.
I don't know how how terrible that makes me, but I was like,
I've got the perfect thing. This is how this is going to
happen, and now you're holding your dead companion in your arms
from Iota. What do you do?
Awake and bake. We have plans for this.
Oh wait, she did drop off the call now.
Oh. Shit, I scarter.
Hello, I can't see you anymore. Guessing it was the computer,
but probably, yeah, that that was the other thing I was
thinking about today. Because she was like, can I.
And this is the Full disclosure for yourself too, because I've
told a few other people this, but I know I it hits or miss
whenever certain people are there or not.
But especially because she hasn't been to a lot of them.
And what she'll tend to do is want to switch up her character,
because either she's feeling like it's not playing well, or
she she just doesn't. Back down.
Hey, whoa. Sorry.
I have computer plugged in but was it wasn't fully plugged in
and then I also did turn on the the power strip.
We we we failed in two aspects. It was like the like the little
like block, but yeah, so like the block connection wasn't
secure. And the power ship that I was
plugged into wasn't turned on. So yeah, so it was a it was a
double, double fail. Yeah, I was just finishing off
saying that, that you could switch up your characters, but I
I put the only stipulation towards that if you did want to
switch, you know, create a new one, even in the same campaign,
you could start off at the level that you're you left off with
the other character. And we can always, you know,
leave that story open for another possibilities in the
future or end it. And that was what she decided
for, for this character. And the result would be yes.
Yeah, that's. What result is dying?
Ohh, so I don't. I don't know where it cut off
for you. It was pretty awesome.
You kind of missed the fact that.
It cut off where I was basically saying I'm screaming as you as
you were screaming and Griselda was screaming.
More hands started to pull her into the massive skeletons like
work, like Bony hands. And then a beastial head from
the center of the mass fit her head in like a gusher and
squashed it and the scream stopped.
Now you're holding your dead companion in your arms.
I like collapsed like to the ground.
Just like folding her in my arms, just like jaw on the
floor, eyes super wide, just like.
At a highest balls. Just like, at a loss.
Like fucking worst trip ever. And now suddenly.
And then I just sit there for probably a good. 10 to 15
minutes everything seems really big.
Ohh no and very. Scary.
It's a big wide world out there. Come get you.
I'm not. Even in the world, I'm in a
little pocket universe, yeah. So I basically just sit there
like staring off into space like.
Just like don't know what to do for like a good 1015 minutes.
Meanwhile, frankly, inside of that, that ante chamber in the
first room, so to say, inside of the this Acropolis, you're
standing there having discovered the pitfall trap with some
pebbles. You'd use it on the ground and
Flint and ash look at each other and then look at you and go.
We're not much help here. Maybe we should try to wake some
other people up. Oh, sure, if you want to.
I don't know who might be awake right now.
Yep, we'll just. Let you go with there.
Make sure Griselda is OK. She will look at a little odd.
Oh, I don't remember that, but OK, they'll just check and they
they touch their Pooh symbols and turn into purple smoke and
float into the rock. I don't know if there's an Otter
sentence that's ever been said, but.
Fair. So Franklin sitting there kind
of going through his pockets for more stones.
I'll notice I also have one of these astral diamonds.
I do not know how I got it. Yeah, I was going to ask that
question because you'd said something about it when we were
starting off there. But did Ash, do you remember if
Ash gave you one maybe? Or if you'd asked her if you
could have one or something because she also received them.
No, I just had it when I like. The last time I got on, you had
mentioned it. I think it was because the
Ishmail thing, I listened to a little bit of it.
Somebody claimed to be me at the start of it.
I don't know if that no no Phelan was then because I've
I've got down here Mame, Ash, Mamida and Phelan and I did
remember we thought maybe you were going to be there or
something too maybe that I could have been.
But I also if you don't recall it, then I would say that you
probably don't have it unless. OK, especially if I.
Was just yeah I was trying to figure out where it came from.
If you listen back and I've I've miss misremembered.
Please, please remind me I I. No if if I if if I remember
correctly, it was you got like the party went and interacted
with Ishmael for the first time. He asked for people's names.
He did ask for people's names. And then one.
Person claimed to be Franklin Turtle.
Yeah, who was that? Probably.
One do not know. I think it was Mommy.
But yeah, Mommy claimed to be Franklin the Turtle.
I have it right here in my freaking notes.
Yeah, so actually you would have 250 of those astral diamonds.
Sorry. So yeah, you in my.
Pockets. What the fuck?
Yes, you're just going about your business and you feel your
pockets slightly heavier and? Slightly heavier there, is they?
Just start pouring out of my pockets.
I can't even handle all these limes.
OK, I will investigate them. Upon opening the bag, you see a
note in there that says from Ishamel on how to return you for
your compliance. And as a thank you for
participating in the Tower of Ishamel, simply swallow an
astral diamond before sleep and you shall return signed.
Me. Look around the room.
I don't heard that very this. I guess I could use these to
trigger the traps if I don't see any more petals on the ground.
They're very shiny and luminous. They do look gem, you know they
don't look. They don't look cheap.
Ooh, as a starter cleric, I'm told about the importance of
diamonds to resurrect people. I say cool, that's great.
Now I just need to learn how to bring dead people back to life.
Eat one before bad to retard. That's weird.
Maybe that was that was the last place I went with the squirrel
people where I try to get like stuff in boxes and.
That we are caught anyway. Are you going to stay there and
wait until somebody comes back out, or are you going to fiddle
around with some traps while you wait?
I think what I'll do we lost the person who could cache light,
didn't we? I can't cache it so.
Gotcha. Yeah, I think Ash was doing that
if if I recall. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he went to
go wake somebody else up. So I guess Franklin will turn to
the right room since he had done most of his looking on the left
room I think last time. And you see in as opposed to the
left room which you would looked at last time that has a pitfall
and red tile and what looked to be some roots and some other
varying tiles off in the distance with a changing of
walls too. They they seem to change colors
and textures along the way somehow too.
But you you're looking down the entrance portion too, to the
very front of the wall in between the two entrances,
curves off to either side, and then goes into the hallway,
which goes straight for a bit and then curves again off to
opposing sides, farther right or left.
And in the case that you're looking right as that hallway
curves to the right with those tiles, they seem to continue on
with a bit of varying material in between, but not as much on
this side, and definitely no root structures being exposed
otherwise is unassuming the walls.
Get closed closer to the area where you're at seem to do to be
made-up of crushed bones and bits and pieces, but as you get
further along they look to be a bit nicer stone as you look in
the down the longer, longer hallways.
Man, crushed bones. I wish I'd kept those dwarves.
This could. This could make Franklin the
skeleton like, way stronger. Well, not Franklin the skeleton
by of Franklin. I did a different name for the
skeleton. George.
That's a nice name. I'll take out one of the
diamonds and just Chuck it at one of the green tiles on the
ground. Franklin doesn't understand how
much things are worth. A lot of them.
Nothing seems to happen. The diamond stays.
Go ahead and roll. For how far and how well were
you aiming in any particular spot you said?
Just probably one of these that are in like the corner so that
if we were try to walk through it wouldn't cause an issue.
OK, it's not an unarmed strike, it's a Dexterity related thing,
usually for throwing. Light of hand?
Sure. Or you're not proficient in it,
so couldn't add that, I would guess.
And throwing it for what? For throwing astral diamonds, 20
is pretty good though, so you hit pretty much exactly where
you want it to, except it kind of bounces off the side wall and
back into the spot, and you do see a change only in that the
wall to your left kind of shivers.
OK, Franklin's going to set about pulling out like a lever.
An attempt to pull up one of the one of each of these tiles and
see what's underneath without trying to, like, trigger the
trap lever. Or like a crowbar.
A crowbar? I assume I have a crowbar in my
adventuring pack, but you should if we have the adventure impact.
That's what I was just clarifying what that's why I was
asking what you were using too, because usually you do have
either proficiency or non proficiency with said
adventuring pack or something too, which is usually associated
with all the tools and such in there.
So and you're pulling up the stone on the floor, you said
right there. I wanna, yeah, I wanna pull up.
Essentially I wanna make a little space so that I can see
under there, or big enough space so that I could send a little
cricket in so that they could look under the wall.
Under under one of these tiles. Ohh I wanna.
See how the tiles work. Yeah, not the stone on on the
floor from the previous room. OK, that's that would be a
something related to strength, if not strength itself.
Strength check. I know that it's also the
adventuring pack as well related to that.
Let. Me look up crowbar.
Yeah, Crowbar by the. Crowbar You grants advantage on
Strength checks. Where the leverage of the
crowbar can be applied, you have advantage.
Huzzah. I will roll 2 athletics checks
because I don't know how to do advantage.
I'm too lazy to learn. Both not excellent.
With a + 0 it is. I'm not strong as you get a six
and a seven you get it wedged in between the tile and the stone
the two different varying floors and you you're trying to get it
under the tile but it seems to go down deeper than where you
can wedge it in in the crack. They're they're quite tied up
against each other but you can you can tell that it it stops
just below where you can reach probably and you you you're like
you're like shoving it into that crack and the tiles starting to
chip away a little bit but it otherwise it's it's not not
you're not getting under it yet. Hmm, well I will send my bugs
and you let me know whenever somebody else joins along the
wall like I did on the right hand on the left hand side to
see if anything happens. Because with the when I threw
the diamond, the wall shivered. Which is interesting because
it's made out of bone and we have nodules of a tree.
That what grows them up, That's where you're moving them.
Yeah, along this, this inside wall.
Ohh OK. Away from the shivering wall, I
thought when you were saying that you were keeping them near
the shivering wall, my bed. So I'm glad that I gave you that
token there. You move them along that side
and who is it now? Is that?
Torino, right? Yeah, Torino.
Thanks, Torino. Because the other other other
ones on vacation inside the pocket.
Rocket making, making more for your swarm, making more baby
crickets, that is. And you, you see them hopping
along and Torino just goes, oh bus, how many you want?
What kind of contingent you want me to send out there?
Just an initial scouting, Just an initial scouting force.
We don't know. Let's all live there.
We do know that if you set the traps off on the floor and this
room out, the right hand side, the walls shiver and then on the
right left hand side, the floor falls out.
So, oh, OK. Well, I think we could spare,
you know, we've got a good bit still in here.
So I think we could finish off with a small contingent of a, I
don't know, 50 or so the. Great.
That's exciting. Do me a huge favor.
Scout out that room for a second, and then while you do
that, I'm gonna be sewing. I've got a new sewing machine
that I got outfits to make. Oh, sure thing, boss.
You you want me to stay here and watch the crew, then?
Yes, please. OK, I'm gonna be here too.
Oh, I'll just be in this room over here.
The safe one. Oh Oh yeah.
I was unclear. I hadn't noticed the sewing
machine being popped into your shell, so I didn't.
Oh no, no. I was gonna go get it and then
cut back. Ah, OK, so I should stay here
while you're while you're going gone?
Yeah, And then you know what? Why don't we what?
We have another. Actually, your scouted crew go
out into this left room and while you explore down and see
what's at the bottom of that hole, oh sure thing boss can do.
Great. All right, I'm going to go check
it out of the others and grab myself sewing machine in case we
have to wait a while, but hopefully not.
I'll be right back and you touch your poop symbol and poof into
purple smoke and. Hello there George.
Use you see in front of you the
large skeleton in it's filling out its entire chamber with ash
and Flint just inside of the hallway running towards.
They probably actually are already down down below after
all that, but you do hear kind of a a soft sobbing besides the
clattering of bones that are filling the filling the the
prison. Although I assume it's the
Skellington. Are you sad that we locked you
in that cage? Yeah.
I'll go get the key and let you out and then take my way around,
OK, as you're not going to. See the others?
Yeah as you're as you're coming around the the I can't get you
through the door right the 2nd. But you're imagine imagination
works wonders. You you get through the door.
You go through the human corridor and make your way
through the bed chamber that you see Ash and Flint, having
hurried down the ladder to stand next to Valmayra, who is just
kind of in shock and kind of looking up at Flint and Ash, who
is the one that is sobbing softly.
Hey, guys. What's going on?
I remain silent. I'll assess the situation.
Are you responding from either? Are you sitting there
dumbstruck? I'm sitting there dumbstruck
even with. Sorry, can you just give me one
second? Guys, trying your hand at aching
jerky. I see jerky.
Yeah, we had an elf jerky before Ohh went or Ash would.
Probably so. Ash would definitely not respond
to that. And probably because, well, she
wasn't there for the whole experience other than being the
DM. So she had those weird
experiences. More of more.
And Flint would just look over to you and probably say not the
time, little buddy. OK, later wink.
Wow, we should bury her. Although I don't want to do that
either. This is heavy, guys.
I guess as your clerical that I can, I'll write a ceremony.
Do we know what faith she was? Yeah, she was of the undead
faith. She may prefer a burial inside
of the bones. Yes, yeah.
OK, I think. Does she have anything that like
we need specifically before we just toss in her like body?
I don't want to say it, but like, should we look at the
corpse? I'm pretty, I'm pretty sure I'm.
I'm just going to talk as Flint that once we get a drink or two
and the rest the the other two, well, actually, Nope.
That might be a perfect time. You heard Franklin now talk
about looting the body. Yeah, that we did not like
looting the body, but like, is there anything we'd need?
Like before, we just like toss her into like the skeleton pet
which was. Also, that's.
Like just like in a stupor right now.
So like if he, if Franklin, like, makes a move for her.
I just kind of like. I just kind of like stand up and
like, let it happen. Yeah I mean I I that one I like
throw her away right away. So, but I'll I'll like.
Well, I won't let you. I won't let you throw her into
the skeletons, but that way, yeah, I I think that's what
she'd want, though, Flint would probably say, as she's sure.
And I was like, what do you mean?
She's of the unted, the path of the grave, the once in the
grave. He's always in the grave.
Doesn't mean that she wants to be a part of this skeleton.
Yes, we never did ask her and I haven't.
I have not seen a will. So I mean who was closest to
her. I know I wasn't.
Looks at Ash, who's sobbing. Maybe when she's in better
spirits, we could ask her. In the meantime, we could chop
her up and put her in the cooler box.
It might be a little weird in the food, but.
Yeah, well, I'll have. I'll have speak with Dad at some
point, unless I already do speak with Dad.
But we always hold on to her just for a little bit and like
you say, either put her in the cooler box or like in one of the
tubs with like some. Ice water, Yeah, Yeah, I we
could probably just put her in one of the tubs with some some
ice. That might be the most too main
thing to do without, you know? Yeah, ripping her apart.
I'll just have to let my guys know that she's dot a bill.
OK. Yeah, I'll doesn't look like Ash
here is suited for the task. I'll I'll get down to getting
the ice if you want to talk to your buddies in the in the
washroom there. And he would.
Flint would go off towards the bar area and Ash and Vermayra
would sit there next to Griselda's corpse.
Turn to Vermeira. Vermeira.
Hey, are you OK? Your eyes are really dilated.
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Yeah, OK. Yeah, I'm good.
Yeah, sorry about that. Are you good?
Me. Yeah.
Are you good? I made-up generally pretty good.
OK, well, if you're good, then I'm good.
Do you know what the fuck's happening with this skeleton
pile? Yeah, we got.
We just got him. OK, well, how?
Why? Well, so the original plan was
we got this cool, this cool jail cell here, and then we decided
that we're gonna try to kidnap a bunch of skeletons and put them
in there so that we could mail them to our enemies.
Or just left about some time. When we need to I mean.
I'm I appreciate that plan but we ourselves is gone.
Did she do it on purpose? I don't know.
I walked in and and she was getting sucked in.
Wow. What's all right then I will
hear just back up a little bit from the cage and we'll just
we'll just quarter this off until we know more right.
They don't let anyone get too close to the to the.
To the potentially life sucking skeleton.
OK. I think we can do that.
I don't have the ability to, but yeah, no, Josh, if you'd.
I assume the Myra, you will. She's, yeah, undead.
Well, that's true. Oh, bad undead.
I turned it for my right. It's it's offensive to ask to,
like, eat their braid, right? Yeah.
Like you wanna eat her braid? Well, I've kind of like really
in the body body lately. And I'll hold up my hand and
it's like a skeleton till the elbow, or like up like my hand
is and then up to up towards the elbow.
And then I'll look at you and I have like reptile fish shot like
eyes that like have a double lid.
The last time I got power is by eating a giant toad things
eyeballs. So I'm just wondering, what
happens if you eat a zombie's braid, you know?
I just like walk away. Right.
Good talk. I like this.
Got like really weirded out by like.
Noticing all your creepy features.
Yeah, there's a I'm also covered in insects.
Yeah, it's a little too much movement for me, so.
I get that the sensory inputs a lot.
I I definitely don't say any of that out loud.
I just kind of like, I was like at that point, Flint's walking
by with a couple bulging sacks of ice.
So you you want to give me a hand here?
More hands make less work. Yeah, totally got you.
And he gives you a Packer tube of ice that he's got slung
either over his shoulder, around his.
Waist I have I have negative effects on strength.
Don't I feel that your role strength saving wrong?
It's only like a a packet of ice.
You might have to take a couple breaks to walk with it, but it's
maybe like 10 pounds, £20 Max and he's like well just taking
it down to this first tub over here and walks off and you see
Franklin, I guess while the matter is helping Flint with the
ice packs into the tub besides. Hash kind of whimpering there
and hands in her face. In her hands, blood dribbling
from the corner of the the cage closest to where vomitra had
been in there. But it's kind of a blackish
green blood. Not so much of the good, good,
tasty red blood that you're familiar with.
Oh, sorry, Maybe not tasty. I don't know.
It's like a balbic liquor. I'll take a straw and slip some
up there. Just inventing straws in both
campaigns I see. You don't think like a read?
Like a. An empty read was never used.
Not not a read, no. No, no.
I think straws were. I'm I'm gonna check because I've
I think the the reason for a straw is 1 straw.
Yeah. What?
No what? 6000 to 7000 years ago mess up.
Call the inventory for a straw, no hollow Reed calling it.
No. Gotta be hollow, Reed for the
win. Is actually paper straws, but
they'd use it to drink beer, apparently, which is even
weirder on top of it all. Huh, 'cause who drinks beer from
a straw? I do.
Well, their beer was a lot different.
Wasn't their beer, like, way different than ours?
It was basically ALE because it was uh.
Yeah, it was like a small beer. Or like a bread beer.
Yeah, like a thick. Like a thick, pasty beer.
Ohh and through a straw. I don't know.
How do you drink shakes? With a spoon.
They're big ol you're weed. Anyway, I slip up some of that
liquid as I look at Vamira. Walking.
Man, I'm so curious. I I can't.
I can't do that to buy fried. Not unless they give me
permission to eat them. OK.
So you haven't gotten to gotten to it actually?
But I'm talking about I'm not gonna rip her, like take her
brain out and try that. Ohh, her head's gone.
It's inside her. Head's gone.
What? Yeah, that's how you guys are
quite sure she is very. Ohh.
There's no speaking with dead but the.
With a non head, yeah. Her head was crushed like a
gusher. If you.
Remember the description? Ohh, yeah, right.
That's right. But metal wise, I don't know if
you were here. For this.
But her character, she the player, decided to make a new
character. Yes.
Yeah, and I was. Just simply saying.
Aware of that. No, no.
Yeah, that was. That was the point part where
you were still you. Were away.
And hadn't gotten that filled in to your gaps.
And I was saying, you're welcome to switch out to a new character
anytime you want, but you go right, you would lose.
All of the experience in between the levels.
So if you start, the best time to do it is if you were to just
switch into a new level, just just have switched into a new
level. Because right now like you're
saying you're only like 6000 away, but you'd go all the way
back under that 34,000 XP marker on the just to kind of make it
consistent. For playable.
Characters, and not to diminish other people that aren't doing
that, because it takes. Takes effort to keep keep going
on there, and that seems like a reasonable thing to do for.
People that are jumping on and off.
With different. Characters there.
OK, so is Persilta coming back as not Persilta, but like,
Gabby? Yeah, Gabby, yeah.
Is she has a different character now in the evil campaign or
she's just not in the evil campaign?
She was. She's working on one.
She's. She hasn't given me the
character she that, and she'd given me permission to off her
character. So gotcha.
And I was like, I got the perfect thing.
I'm being less frivolous. I'm being so frivolous about it.
Part of it partially. And and and partially just.
Because it's here, Franklin, Yeah.
But yeah, slipped that baby right up.
In Constitution Fuck yeah. Oh, guide myself Save or yeah 20
baby plus a D. Hell yeah.
Let's go plus 426. Yes, Yeah, you feel.
A. An oddly pleasant tingling
sensation as you're slurping up what must have been filled as
blood and a a rushing of numbness.
Throughout your body. But in a way that feels
empowering and you are slowly aware.
That maybe Griselda isn't completely.
Because you feel a start to. Kind of the feel, some
vibrations around you that you hadn't probably noticed before,
coming from every living thing, including the things inside of
your shell. And those are more vibrant than
the essence that's coming off of Griselda, but it is a.
There's a much diminished. Vibration, so to say.
Than the rest of the living forces around you, and yours
seems to slow down to match her rhythm.
Including it seems like. You're standing there.
And you're thinking kind of like as the rushing sensation kind of
goes away, is your heart actually beating anymore?
Oh well, that's. I don't.
Know if it ever beat to begin with but.
I'll, I'll check my own. You don't feel anything.
I think I became a. Zombie by eating that guy's head
or eating this Ed balding liquor.
That's fine. I skip away.
Oh wait, I go. Till I I'll.
I'll I'll send one of my bugs off to inform those in the in
the hive that's in the pool room not to eat this dead body, and
then I'll have my. And I'll bring her down there to
meet. Up with the others.
Ohh to pick up Griselda you mean?
Yeah, and you said. That I wasn't.
Sure, she's dead. Because there's like a low life
force. Yeah, it's.
It's. Kind of a odd sensation, that,
yeah, you're you're feeling from the corpse that you're like,
maybe she isn't. Dead but.
You're in picking, in picking her up to that.
Those sensations start to fade. But your your heartbeat has not
picked back up at any point in time yet.
It's. Seems to be a lingering slowly,
although it does seem like your pallor has started to fade.
Already quickly, without rushing blood behind your skin, Ash
lifts her head. And when you're starting to pick
up, Rizzelda offers kind of a shoulder and a hand to help out.
To take her, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
I don't. Know if she's actually dead.
Dead because I could feel some life force coming off of her.
She just looks at you like and then looks back.
At the stump of a head and then looks back at you and just
shakes her head. She's a zombie, so.
As we're like walking, can I do some sort of our Connor or
medicine check to try to pinpoint where in her body this?
Resonation is coming from yeah, it would actually be a religion.
Great. I'm really bad at.
Religion as a. Cleric, that's so funny. -2
What? Wait.
What? Yeah, not a good cleric.
Oh no, you have a negative. Two, you didn't roll a negative.
Two you. No, no, no.
When I roll the seven. -2 the five still I was like, yeah, so
you have a minus. Three.
I'm trying to process how I have a very low intelligence.
Ohh I made Franklin is not a smart.
Yes, yes. Religion is.
Yep, and religion is. Which is weird.
But OK. Nope, Nope, Nope.
It makes complete sense. Religion is a learning practice.
It is not that's there. You have to study theology.
Mmhmm, yeah, yeah. There are few.
People these days are born. With it you.
Uh, yeah, no. Religion's definitely
intelligence for sure, but it just is kind of funny.
You have like a dumb religious person.
So like, does God they like, know nothing about it.
I just believe I don't need to. Ask questions.
I just believe I'd have faith. Faith is all you need.
Yeah, faith is all you. Need.
That's hilarious. Yeah, with the seven though.
You're at least. Able to ascertain that the the
the force is coming from the body and.
Yeah, we need to keep. This it's.
Unclear as to how or where. And.
You only realize that that as you're kind of squinting and
focusing, but as you're doing that too, you're you're
realizing that sensation that you're of noticing that too is,
is fading very, very quickly. And maybe was that a heartbeat?
That dunk heartbeat? Interesting, I imagine.
You're doing like. One of those what?
Is that from Ohh, It's a it's a Doctor Who.
Scene. I don't know if any of you have
watched Doctor Who. I have not.
I have but I'm. Not well enough to be.
Able to pick out a particular scene and I won't see go into
it. No worries.
That's uncomfortable. I got used to.
Not having one so quickly. But if you could roll me a
strength check along with ashes here, I'll roll for her to
carry. See if I pull up the scene with
Advantage, since you're kind of helping each other out.
Or wait, I can add the two roles.
That's what I'll do. Strength check is over here.
Ohh, she's got a -? 1 and you rolled A2.
Yep. Yeah, she rolled A9.
Yeah, you guys try to pick her up and.
She does flop over you first, Franklin.
Can you misjudge kind of how you're she's positioned on a
crate and Ash's position on a crate and you're still on the
ground and when you guys go to pick her up at the same time,
Ash kind of flops her over onto the ground on the other side of
you at 1st? But you guys get her back up
after. That and start dragging her
because you can't get her fully off the ground.
The both of you being that ashes only four foot as well. 4 foot
something. I think you're somewhere in that
range too. No.
You're 5 foot something, aren't you?
No, I'm fairly. Short I'm like 4/6.
OK, I'm an adult. I'm a young adolescent.
And I think Griselda herself was pretty small.
But she going back to that now too.
No, she was. Taller than both of you, though,
even. Without the head, she's probably
like 5 foot, maybe a little bit more because she was 5-6 in
total because there's a bit of. Her neck left there.
Too and it is oozing blood as you're dragging her through the
along the floor over to the the spot in the oh shit, that's not
good I'll. I'll pause and grab like a
little jar from somewhere. To collect that.
And I turned to ash and I say this stuff is really useful.
They'd be dead for a little while, it seems.
Maybe we could utilize that. Maybe we could poison people
with it Anyway, did you go with it before you stopped?
Probably. Like right there where I.
Drew Yeah, kind of where I knowed it.
Like when? We when I first started.
Noticing it OK, because yeah, you would have flopped her.
Over. You would have probably been
standing here, would have flopped her over like here and
then started dragging her like like to at least there I would
guess before you look back and see the the drag marks.
Having stopped her, I'll I'll grab like a a big like jar.
Pot or basin or some sort of liquid container from the bar
And then I'll just turn run back to ash, be like we could put
this underneath her and the turd upside out so that all of her
blood drains out of her neck so that we could drink it later.
Trust me, it has a. Magical effect.
It would just. Shrug at this point, just.
Over it all. Waiting for you to get it over.
Get her body into the into the into the ice bath and maybe ohh
wait it can be in the ice bath. Yeah, we can just make.
It a martini. So you guys bring her over, put
her in all right, as quicker, quickly as possible.
Dripping as little as pop possible, but still, you know,
losing some of it along. Ohh the ohh those aren't the
right things. It's not the right color like
that. It's this color Drops, drops,
drops, drops, drops. I'll send my swarm behind to.
Clean up after I go. Ohh, yes, you want you wanted to
you. You won't be to store this or
clean up pile. Would you like us to just you
know? Yeah, you eat it once and then
while it's under. The under.
While you're under the effect, I need you to try something.
Bite some another insect that hasn't been affected by it and
see what happens. Thanks.
I'll continue on. I'm gonna see if we.
Could pass zombie azism. Guys.
Get her to the. Ice bath.
Flop her in. And.
The latter, and Flint dropped the.
Last of the. Ice that they've been carrying
back and forth on top of the body, bearing it as much as they
can. I've been been periodically like
rubbing ice on my face. The ice I'm feeling, I'm feeling
warm, so you know the. The cold, yeah feels wonderful
and and. You're closing your eyes too.
And you you. You feel you're able to like,
feel the cold on on yourself. But it's a very dulled cold, so
you're kind of pushing it harder in your skin than you would
normally. And Franklin, you're wondering
if if the matter is OK, because you see her probably just like
almost to the point of of breaking skin, shoving this into
herself, trying to rub it on and.
Turn to the others, they. Seem nonplexed.
It seems like everybody's on. Drugs right here.
These people, to put such weird things into their bodies, is the
one who's celebrating brains. It's natural comes from the
Earth. Or comes from the the the body?
I'm not judging. Turn to the little just be like,
alright. Well, she's.
Stored here for a hot socket just for clarity.
So you guys know, it did sense that she had there was like some
sort of life force still around the body.
So maybe like a soul. So maybe, like she'll wake up,
maybe not. This I I don't know.
Exactly what's gonna happen but. I saw that she still have life
force at this at this corpse, even though it's clearly dead.
But there's something there, some connection, he is.
There, yeah, you could try it too if you want, you see.
My eyes kind of like light up with like an idea.
Well, yeah, they can. You want to try too?
You could hear if you just. Drink a little of this, you'll
be able to experience the same thing.
Use this. Read right here.
How, how much? Just like a little bit.
I think a little bit, yeah. I neglect to tell her that it's
embalming fluid or basically brain matter.
So I like. I just go.
In for like a little sip? Yeah, it's really good and you
feel as soon as it touches your lips.
A tingling sensation that's more powerful than you've would have
expected considering your dull senses overall from from the
mushroom and then all all of the sensations of your high.
Aspects So you're the the MSG and the mushroom seem to be
suppressed almost and then kind of wash away in this warm.
Actually, it's a chill. It's a chill that racks through
your body and you feel your heart slowing down and then
eventually, within two or three beats, stop completely.
But you're still there, you can still see around you're.
Not dead, in the stereotypical sense.
Here you can. You're conscious.
I'm like holding my hand to my. Chest, like trying to feel a
heartbeat and just like, looking around.
Hi, Franklin. Like leaning.
Yeah, Franklin, yeah. Oh.
You can still see me. You still hear me, See me?
Yeah, do you have an? Urge to bite me?
No, but I'm hollow inside. Interesting.
I could put my doctors outfit. On and take a look for you.
I like, take one of my daggers out, like.
Run it against my palm to see if I like bleed, or to see if I
feel it. I think I've done this in the
past too, and I've had you roll. Damage yourself for that.
So I think it's just DD4 for the dagger.
If I ever corrected that, do I make my habit of?
Damaging yourself. Should I roll it ahead?
No, you're you. You don't need all the damage.
Yeah, you're not dodging. You're not avoiding.
It's, yeah or so 55 damage, yeah.
You a little bit deeper than you thought.
Well, I guess. I guess because.
I have a + 3 to it, but if I'm doing it to myself.
So did I just? Sorry, would I just do a D4?
Oh oh, like instead of adding my.
Like whatever. It is +3 to damage.
Yeah, so I get D 4 + 3. Yeah, so to myself, but I just
do like a D4. You you can just.
We can just take away the three that's added on.
A table. You get the you got the two,
yeah, yeah and and you when you do.
Slice yourself, you do see, you know.
The normal workings behind your skin, there is blood that
starts. To pool, but it doesn't start to
flow out like you slow Mo would expect Franklin.
Usually to this, yeah. Slow.
You're in. Mo, you're going to regular?
Speed to be Look how slow my blood is flowing.
I think it's 'cause you're technically dead right now.
I might cast healing word on her.
OK. I'm pretty sure this is going to
damage you, but. It'll be really useful because
you could poison your dagger with it, make someone to do a
zombie for a turd, and then we could really damage on them.
Seems like a lot of work just to hurt someone.
I mean, that's why we're alive, isn't it?
Like we could just hurt them normally.
Sure, but like, this hurts some more.
Oh, it hurts. Some more.
OK, cast 6 points. That's healing damage.
Yeah, yeah, you you feel. The warm sensation of Franklin's
magic radiating from your core. But it seems to turn immediately
into stabbing pain from the inside, almost as if you would
were cramping throughout the center of your being and take
those six points of damage. Why would you do that?
It's experiment. I mean, we gotta.
Try something while you're. Dead currently I don't know if
this seems super useful. All right, we're gonna keep her
in the in the tub cooling bad and but later we can meanwhile,
look you look up. Or rather, back at your crickets
who are slightly larger than the last time you seen them, even
though it was only maybe a few hours ago.
As they must have been eating some of the fish as you would
allowed them to do, but not all of it and.
They're they're licking up the. The the stuff that was left
behind, and most of them you're seeing turn from a greenish hue
to a Gray hue on their excellent skeleton even, it appears.
Not not just the ones that are licking, but you would seen them
crawl back up to the nest in the meantime too while this was all
occurring and on on the walls bite their companions as you
instructed and some of them are turning that so yeah, thank you.
Which as you continue to watch. Out of just curiosity, for the
next little while there too you are seeing them.
The ones that originally were eating it turned.
Back to that greenish pallor. And then the ones that were
bitten are staying Gray. Yeah.
OK. I'll.
They're dire cricket, I. Can't remember their crickets
are like. No, these things are about the
size of Great Dane. The bigger ones which are
getting about to be full size. Now the ones that are inside the
ones that are in your shell are. Probably, you know, maybe
Pomeranian at the biggest the cheese.
Giant So I like how ashes point of
astonishment. And and from IRA's at their
friend's death and years at the zombie army of crickets.
The Zombie army. For.
Franklin, I mean. Usually he's all words for for a
situation. Now he's just planning.
I think so guys.
Just hanging out, recouping your losses.
Zombie Persona is in a ice. Thing What's happening with the?
Child intelligence. They are inside the page still.
Like Palmer? Like moving.
They're redling around in there. Every now and again, but they.
Yeah, against the bars kind of. It seems like testing every now
and again, testing their cage, so to say.
It seems like they're pushing up against certain sides to see if
they can get out more or less, but they aren't.
They have not been successful so far as you can tell.
Oh, did the that. Like chill paid off and not in
my back. To like what I was feeling
before, like is the chill from slurp.
Is that no, you're on. I don't feel like I'm.
Deadish. You were.
Your heart has. NOT has only.
Just started as you're watching the crickets, presumably too
with Franklin. Oh wait, I think we just heard
you for a second. I don't know.
I thought I heard him. My mic is being weird.
Sorry, one second. You're good.
OK, we did. We do hear.
You now? I just wanted to, Yeah, I had
to. I had to unplug my my.
Feature phone right now, but one second.
No worries. Yeah, you're coming through
fine. Yeah, so yeah, yeah, I was
presuming. Reminder you were watching with
Franklin. The Dyer crickets clean up the
mess that was left behind from Vermeyer's trickling blood.
And yeah, the exchange between. Them turning from a a a green
greenish color to a Gray color and then amongst their whole
clan that are now populating a large portion of the the north
side of the cleaning chamber. And while you're doing that, as
they are kind of some of the ones that had first turned Gray
after licking it just before they had turned back to green.
You're you start to feel your pulse.
Start again. Nice.
I'm alive. I'm alive.
This is thank. Goodness, so useful.
That's very interesting to know. Still can't hear me?
Damn. No, we heard.
No, we. Can hear you.
Ohh cool. Yeah, no, this is this is
incredibly useful. Information though Barry said
that Friselda has died, but in her death she has given us the
opportunity to in her death she's given us death, she is.
She's given us the opportunity, though.
The duty to release a horde of zombies upon the real world?
Feel good? Should we say a few?
Words before we close the other I don't.
Really have. I didn't really.
Yeah, I think other than Ash. I don't.
I don't think anyone was real too close with Griselda, and
even Ash was minimally so for this group.
I honestly don't know if she would have cried.
I was just putting it in there because it felt right.
Yeah. But I mean, she's a mom now, so
yeah, if. Anything that would may have
been. The the estrogen after a mood
swings going on there or something, who knows?
From. From dealing with no sleep.
From the baby, who knows? The situation though, with with
that too, After she'd wiped her eyes and everything too, she
probably would have come back to her senses with Flint, and
they'd probably just both shrugged and easy come, easy go.
All right. Well, do we want to?
Investigate that other room. Or do we want to?
I found these weird Crystal Diamond things and they had a
note and it said that to go back there.
What's that about? Do you know ohh we can go back
and try to like make through, make our way through some more
levels of? His house.
I think the more levels you go through the like better items
you get. I got this like really cool like
bracer thing and I like pulled my arm out and like look like
I've got unlimited daggers and I like pull them out and I start
like. Fiddling with them and like
throw a few at like A at the wall and like watch them like
come back like look look like they come back to me, well
that's pretty cool. Interesting.
So and I and I and and I got this.
I got this. For only going for three levels.
So imagine what we can get if it went through like more.
Yeah, I'm just wondering. Like I just keep, like
chittering on about it. How?
You're good. What's like special baggers in
there? I'm just like, what do you think
the rules are? Like, is it?
Just like do you have to physically get through?
Because like I was, I didn't attend, did I?
How did I get the diamonds, though?
Wait, you got? Diamonds.
Yeah, I got this whole pack of like.
Diamonds. I wasn't there.
I don't know who you're talking about.
And it would kind of click for you, Vamira that.
Mommy had given Franklin's name upon entering the tower.
I think I remember mommy said that.
Her name was your name. Oh, that's nice of her.
Wait. Interesting.
Should we? Let's go check.
Let's go check, Mama. And see if she has.
Diamonds if she doesn't have diamonds, and that's what
happened. Must be, yeah.
And then how did was like your? Item just like in the pack that
it came in, Or was it like in my bag?
Or was it, like, on my wrist? It was.
It was next to the.
Bag in your in your bag, like next to the sack.
That OK, you probably would have actually it.
Wouldn't have been in your bag it.
Was just like in my bag. I like walk off you.
Know. And best game up, Yeah, let's
let's go check out check with mommy.
I'm already like down the hallway.
You guys get into the room and you see.
Mommy sleeping soundly. It seems like right now with I
just start rummaging. Just like start.
Rummaging. Through our shit.
You you're you're probably shoulder.
Deep and you do not hear or feel any bag of of diamonds, At least
nothing close to the size of of such that you'd received no
diamonds here. Do I see anything like new?
Like I I obviously don't know everything that she has, but.
Like do I see any sort of like new item kind of like how I had
like got the bracer like I see new item investigation.
Ohh, that's not good at 12, that's not too bad.
Ohh yeah but. Considering I have a + 6.
Yeah, yeah. All right.
You you do. You do notice that there is
stuff that you don't recognize in there, but it is hard to tell
whether or not it's. New to you or?
New to mommy? Yeah.
Like well, I don't see any. Did you get a new item as well,
or did you just get the diamonds?
I think I just got the diamonds. As I'm looking through my stuff.
That I just see the scale. Bill Warhammer and Albs backs my
diamonds the glitter, Bob. I don't know where that.
Came from glitter bomb. What's that glitter?
Is that no? That was from Ash.
She gave it to you 'cause she? Has a good bit of them.
And she was using them to attack, just for fun, attack
Flint and they were got into a glitter fight.
Oh yeah, that's right, yeah. No.
I I I don't have any other items I'm wondering.
If we enter everybody, like we all get out there, we like we
could have birdies. Then because they're all
sleeping, we enter everyone's day and then we just all get
into the pocket rocket and let my creepy crawlers just crawl as
far as they can. Will that work?
I don't know. But we could like send your
crawlies and then like. Follow behind as much as
possible without actually fighting anything.
Just like try to run run through anything as possible.
What did you face last time? Wait, it is also like almost 930
flush ribs are FUD. Yeah, what?
Do you say we just we just try to give the system that we we go
there, we sign up, we get in a pocket rocket, I get it to my
swarm and then just send a bomb through?
Yeah, we all pop in the pocket, rocket, and then just form.
Carries the pocket rocket as far as possible grisel is.
Dead and the real world so she's not going to be available their
world anyway. Oh yeah, I think it's just.
You need rounded. One, because Warren fucked off.
Warren's probably at the bar somewhere or.
Sleeping one off somewhere around with Mark.
No in in in the pocket. Rocket you guys.
At the point, Yep. There isn't a ghostly servant,
but there is they there. There.
There is a there is a bar. I'm not sure.
Did you ever get the chance to explore the pocket rocket?
I did explore but I don't know. If I ever made it to the bar,
yeah, there's a little. Off to the West, and so to say
on the map there is a there's a small little kitchen with a bar.
A standing bar. Ohh, I didn't even think I've
seen. That I don't think I ever made
it that. Way I think I only want to east.
Ah yeah, the east portion is where the the oxygen is.
Seems to be coming from to keep this a livable space.
Yeah, because there are fish. I only want that one.
Water. And there's the turning wheel.
That's being driven by the small little current of tides that's
powering some some minor things, including a lift to get up to
the the top level, but also a there's some lights.
Interesting. That's nice.
Oh yeah. I mean, we can definitely give
that a shot, see what happens. Sure.
I don't know how long it'll take, but we'll be there five
out. Or do you wanna do that this
time or save it? For next session, probably.
Save it for next session. Unless Josh thinks that this
scheme is gonna end quickly. It could be.
It could be fun with people. Too, like if we get.
More people to play, Yeah, yeah. And.
Not to not not to make it a. Light of things, but.
It was in Ishamel's infinite Tower if I.
Can just I mean this is kind of a good good.
Kind of stopping point, yeah, yeah, This session we
discovered. How to create zombieism?
So in my mind, that's a huge one I got to discover.
Many different substances and. How they interact other so
that's yeah win in my mind. I'm quite sure the name of this
episode will be Death and Drugs. So or drugs and death.
Or drugs and death. I might sound a little.
Sound a little bit better? I don't know.
Justin Drugs, Ross and Jack Passive title.
Both ways. Guess we will leave it there
then and I. Have a very serious decision to
make on if Franklin's going to try to turn himself into a
zombie. Good man.
It's not far from, uh, reality. So, alright, I like good game
then. Yeah, I I think so.
Yeah, alright. I'll talk to you guys later.
