Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warnings. Sometimes we are not safe for
work and others not safe for real life.
Journey forth at your own risk. Now let's dive right back into
Tara through the campaign. Manny Polos.
Holy Shark. Craig.
I love you.
The Hand of Fate tosses the dice rolls, spins, turns.
The campaign starts and ends, leaving memories that become
stories. Stories flow out into the
infinite sea, fading to myth until myths are forgotten.
And again the hand of fate tosses the dice rolls, spins,
turns. This recap tonight is going to
be very short as our heroes are at a very cross situation.
Hitherto we left the adventurers known as the Shadow Seekers high
and dry, approximately 15,000 feet high and after destroying
Ashima's Michael RIP Q4 rocket destroyed while from the inside
while in flight. As they were sucked outside of
the rocket into this upper atmosphere of tariff, the Shadow
Seekers have begun to fall. Let's find out what happens this
time. And as you guys are descending
towards the tariff, you see off in the distance some gusts of
flame below you, not just from the lava fields it seems like
that were attached to the lava tower.
But then a shape kind of materializes out of that with
that of the beating wings. 2 sets of them, one fighting the
other. And the second set of wings seem
to be a another dragonoid creature.
But you do recognize the some of you anyways may recognize the
reddish hue of wings of Shondar fighting and then obliterating a
the second set of wings as you're plummeting towards Tarath
and. Ash.
Boops out of existence with the giant robot.
Oh, with the the robot doesn't persist.
Negative. She boots back in.
Will the robot return? Well, I mean, you know, you
bring up a good point. I was kind of just assuming
because it was more of the fact that she was the only one
attached to it. So if we want to go through a
bit of a fall sequence, I would say that math 15,000 feet at
we'll just, we're just going to use 9.8, you know, because I
don't, I don't need to do that. You thinking of?
Gravity 10, Thank you there. You go.
About. Engineers, do we just ignore
that? Yeah, safety factor, right,
Safety factor divided by 6.
So. We'll call it.
As. In the next 20 minutes.
So we'll eat. Back 20 minutes real time or 20
minutes game time. I've translated it to real time
because. They're literally falling
because you're. Smart because.
Feather fall, How much more time?
250 fucking actual rounds would be forever anyways so and
instead of like full turns, I was thinking it would just be
you guys got that amount of time to figure out either where
you're going or to face this this robot if you guys want to
do that instead and. Then catch.
Ezra, Ezra. Ezra is riding a rocket.
He's aiming. Let's go.
Why don't we just aim you asking robot?
Wait, can somebody remind me what the dangers are of the
robot? You have not figured that out.
For the most part, the only person.
Is like the Digger robot, right? It was the one that was on the
loader Bay. Yeah.
So it it looked like it was specifically geared out at that
time to move heavy loads. Check.
I don't know if it's dangerous at all, right It.
Sounds like we don't know anything about this robot.
It could be, I mean. I wish they let we.
I say we let it boop out of existence.
We'll deal with it later. Wasn't it unmanned and it needed
someone to man it? No, it had a.
Oh, it had the robot. Diana that was fully integrated
into it. Oh, is.
That creature still there. Yes, well, as in like fully
integrated into the robot, but whether or not the robot is
there is the question. Because in in this digression of
things, if the robot boops out of existence, it's something you
guys will have to deal with later when Ash comes back into
existence. Right, right.
It cannot just disappear. I don't understand why the robot
if it is its own creature. So can we just grapple and then
walk away from the table at any point to?
Bang. It is a construct, and
constructs do not have souls. I I feel like this is highly
exploitable in certain. You're welcome.
Yeah, it's a construct, but like.
But how did I exist on the table as a robot man?
Because your soul was inhabiting A construct, it was a little bit
different than just being a construct.
A construct is kind of like a soulless vessel.
What is the construct being inhabited by a creature robot
right into it? Robot rights.
All right, Bender. Clankers don't have rights.
Exactly. OK, but the creature inside of
it is then also a construct. OK, what about those of us that
were inside the little pocket dimension thing?
What was it called again? The pocket rocket.
You weren't in there. I I was remotely controlling the
giant skeleton. And you still haven't.
Keep running downstairs, I'll be right back.
And I still haven't got it solidified.
Is this Whiskey Jack in this campaign?
Yeah, yeah, this is the campaign.
Whiskey Jacks. Last time I remember he was.
A giant skeleton, yes. And he?
Wasn't like on the skeleton was. He no, you were in it.
Oh oh, so I'm like also falling through the air inside a giant
skeleton. That's correct.
Do you want me on the rocket? Do you want me on the rocket?
Giant robot and a giant skeleton.
Yeah, yeah, the giant. The giant fucking skeleton.
The the skeleton monster that we keep inside I currently have
dominated using dominate monster and I handed the controls to our
low level player so that she could do stuff.
So I could participate. Oh, why don't we just have the
skeleton take care of the robot? The yeah, I mean, the skeleton
totally could, I assume just so the robot's not evil or
anything, right? It's not fighting.
We don't know. It's just a, it's just a falling
or OK. It could.
Just not have been it was I was talking about.
Clavicle. At least you know.
'Cause we killed the thing controlling it.
No. Somebody somebody jumped up on
the robot and was attacking the scent the the torso of the
driver. Yeah, that was my mash.
Yeah, Ash had jumped up on top of the robot, but had not, per
SE. That's the thing.
And it was dead. No.
Oh, OK. I thought Josh just confirmed
the whole thing's a construct. It is neither.
Well, it doesn't have a soul. I don't.
Yeah. I don't know if it's alive nor
dead, but it doesn't have a soul.
Right, it's currently not a problem.
And yeah, I mean, we could just push it away.
Yeah. There's just no thank you.
Yeah, I said. We we took the giant skeleton
monster on it. OK, call it a day.
That would be dealer now though as you're falling through space
and. Yeah, I think we need to deal
with it now because the best. Thing in teleport into the
ground yeah I mean this could be I mean this is a this is a
weapon now if we throw it at whatever we're.
Yeah, I think once we're not free falling, it is no longer of
use to us. Right.
So we either we either take it and put it in the pocket rocket,
or we use it as a hunk of something to throw at whatever
we were landing on. I vote option B.
OK then Skeleton monster will probably want to grapple it.
And you have 15? Nope, sorry. 14 minutes left to
deal with it so. We should point at the tree and
aim at any enemies that are still there.
Because we want to. Destroy the tree, right?
The tree is a God, and we said all gods are losers.
That is, that is up for the date.
I am here for it because that is hilarious.
But. Anyways as.
Much as I like treats. Ezra is down for smashing the
thing that is bad for ash, so gargant greater.
I mean I was gargant bad for Ash.
I'd yeah, I'd vote against attacking it.
We shouldn't create more enemies.
We. Still have enemies.
We should. I mean, we should.
I guess we could vote, yeah. Why are we trying to craterize
any place? Well, we want to destroy the
tree because we're trying to get rid of gods, right?
Azura just wants to make a crater out of a out of a city.
Do we? Like where did that objective
originate from? We well, this is a Josh
question. We signed a contract saying that
we would attempt to remove God's access from this bubble.
And who was who wanted us to sign?
All of us good. Franklin.
Franklin was. Franklin Hero.
In the in the infinite tower. OK.
Yeah. So it's just a couple of us.
It's not really like the entire party that wanted to.
It's. Yeah, a couple.
Of us. Also needs to specify if that
counts towards if that's counting towards these upper
level gods, because you know there are two other high tier
deities nearby. 9 minutes. That's a question for Josh.
As to exactly which or whether or not this would classify as
one of the DDS that you might want to remove from the world,
or rather that it had falled under the subcategory of God.
I mean, is it, is it one of those it doesn't count towards
the contract that some of us have because that will have
implications on this game and the other?
I would have to read the specifics on that particular
contract. I know you had sent something,
but I don't remember it being like a shared document.
I remember it being. It was.
It was very ad Lib. Because of the fact that it
would. There was an actual contract
involved. I read it.
I remember it there being something.
Yeah, because of the fact that like the rocket.
That I got to play with. Gosh.
It was pretty torn apart and especially because of the fact
that you at that time had been tuna canned and then sucked out.
Probably not that big. I threw some rubble around you
for that particular reason being we can save it the.
Biggest piece. You could potentially have
accumulated at least by that point in time because you've got
9 or no, I just said 98 minutes left here, so somewhere in the
range of 15 feet. Ezra is going to Gargant.
Feet and. What happens if we don't make a
decision? Ezra chooses.
Ezra close the. Gargant in a blaze.
Actually one of my ideas if. We aim at the tree.
We're going to be fighting if we're if we're aiming at the
tree, we're going to be fighting the good team.
You realize that? Yeah.
I don't want to do that. I mean, do we have to fight?
Do we land on their arms like? Do we have to hurt something?
When we're out, no we don't have to.
They are pro good guy or pro tree.
I assume if we strike tree we will lose diplomatic ties with
everyone. I mean, I'm assumed they're
better. They'd be better with us killing
the tree than killing Gargant so.
Wait, is it a? Choice option either or.
Yeah, wait, what's what's Gargant?
It's another city that Israel wants.
A city that is against Mama Ash and Ezra is going to erase it.
Oh yeah, like why? I'm not playing Franklin right
now. Franklin's all for.
You guys forgot we once saved Gargant like we once played like
an entire year of this campaign. Or maybe it's the good campaign
saving Gargant. It was the good campaign.
Yeah, yeah. Looks to suck, Gargant.
Looks to be Gargant right now. I'm.
Still Ezra's. If we fight the tree or
guardian, Agonon will not participate in that fight.
OK. And in all seriousness, we
should aim towards the tree and take out whatever is still
remaining from the PNC. I agree Faust is strictly
against PNC, he's just he's still formulating opinions about
the tree. So show me on the doll where the
PNC hurt you, Faust. Points at the head for
ideologically. Let's.
See if. All right.
We have very little time. Is everyone in favor of aiming
towards the tree, not at the tree, and trying to take out any
remaining PNC that is? There, yes.
OK, let's move on. Aye, as there.
Is a motion of busting Gargant. I.
I think the aye here. Otherwise.
Ezra Bouse will give you a treat.
But this is for the greater good of Mama Ash.
Bouse will give you 2. Two Scooby snacks.
Yeah. 6 minutes I I moved to change direction.
You're like sorry bro I'm all for like killing another city
but we've been outvoted. But have I been out muscled?
I cast banishment on Israel. Oh my God, he's just going to
show up in a minute after we've been falling.
And then and. Then.
You're going to. But it'll be.
Too late for him to do anything. Yeah.
That means he we won't be able to feather fall him, he'll just
fall. That's fine.
He's got, he'll appear. He's got his comeback.
He disappeared. Right.
And we'll be one minute down. OK, this is great.
I want to see what happens. I even have banishment.
I was just talking about my ass. Aww, I said.
Do I even have? Let me see if I haven't
prepared. OK, if you don't, I'll command.
No, I catch Feather fall on him, now does.
That mean that that all the stuff I'm holding is feather
falling with me. Also, is that concentration
question mark? Also no.
And then additionally, what is the length of time slash
distance? That's stupid funny.
Time is a minute. You fall at 60 feet per minute.
Right. Or per round a minute.
So falling fast, but you don't take damage, but he's falling
slower than the rocks that he's trying to guide or the rubble.
I'm just. How is he guiding it?
How is he physically guiding it? This is a very good.
Question. Pure unadulterated muscle.
No, I I need a physical description of what is
happening. Ezra is trying to basically grab
the biggest section of rocket slash debris and literally
muscling and while in air like turning twisting to aim it
towards gargant. I'm just saying that Ezra has no
leverage. Have you seen the goddavers?
You don't need lever, you just basically you you twist and turn
and G force doesn't move. Yourself.
An air resistance. How much mass does this thing
have compared to Ezra's mass? You're basically arguing that
you can do a handstand in an airplane and turn the airplane.
You're not technically wrong. You telling me I can't?
Tell Ezra you can't do something.
OK, let's go muscle tie. Also, there's no reason to blow
up a city that is. Yeah, that's a bit much.
Ezra Snacks. Yeah.
We're all agreed. Don't blow up, make it.
Make it 10 and Ezra will use everyone ounce of power to smash
as many PNCS as he can. 3 minutes.
You have 10, Ezra. Deals Deal Ezra's using the Rock
to smash PNC now. Right.
And if I don't, what do I need? To get wait, so are so are are
we going to have to like fight our own All Star player
characters? Nope.
We we're doing what we intended. Oh, OK.
Which is continue fighting our shared enemy.
OK, just. What he had to negotiate?
Snacks. With the last, OK, OK. 2
minutes. Do we have enough feather falls
or are we having to calculate damage currently?
I need you to calculate the damage of the blast of fuckery
that is about to be Ezra. I might be mistaken but I think
as an air Coker I'm just like good.
But you're inside of a giant skeleton.
Oh, like I crawl out from between its ribs, I guess.
A squeeze. Check.
Athletics, Acrobatics. I mean, I can just mentally
command it like, yeah. I I was more thinking of and
again with the last two minutes here, I.
I guess, yeah, I should have brought this up before, but I
mean, it's a skeleton. There's like gaps in the bones.
I'll just crawl out of it and fly.
To OK huge. Casting capabilities because we
currently have 1234. Five everybody.
Everybody who's not me or foul. And enter the pocket rocket.
He can cast Feather Fall and if that doesn't work.
We have 4. We have 5 targets and one.
Right. But if it.
Doesn't work then that Ezra puts down.
That's true, yeah. Ezra is literally guiding
everything like a forcing rocket to the ground.
Well, I mean, yeah, I can. I can instruct the skeleton
monster as we're falling to release our ally.
And very quickly. Send it into the Send it into
the pocket rocket. Anyways, yeah, I'm casting
Featherfall. I'll be casting Featherfall in
the last minute. On everyone except Ezra except.
Ezra, well, I don't know. Ezra's about to.
Ezra's about to make a big crater.
So that looks. Like I'll I'll also, I'll also
forego featherfall and I'm going to aim at any target we see.
You gonna hold hands with me? Sure, buddy.
Bigger crater. I've always wanted to die.
Let's see what it feels. Like who has the Rock?
Rocker rocket. Yes.
I normally do you do. Not isn't Franklin made out of
adamantine? Is he even going to take any
damage? If I take damage I'll be fine I
I pop back up if I die. Yeah, I was just.
I feel like Franklin's going to do the most damage.
I know Ezra is looking real forward to be in a boom, but
like. Ezra's got Franklin come back.
Guys have made contact with the ground at this point.
Well, we were aiming at whatever enemy.
Yeah, was nearby a massive bad guy.
My sound effects didn't come through, but how?
Much damage did we do? I think we'd said 20D6 was the
Max damage. No, no, Give us, give us power.
Let's have it. That is individual.
Numbers. 220 D Sixes. That's a lot, D sixes.
Let's let's see 15,000 feet at 2020 D sixes is better.
Just accept it and let's move on with the game.
OK. All right, adamantine.
So double damage 2 objects. I was not ready for this fight.
I need to bring it up. I don't know where we're
heading, but and don't forget, we're also hitting with the the
machine. Oh, wait, so that's.
Another 20D6. No, the machine machine wasn't
really. It was.
It was discussed whether or not you guys were going to try and
deal with it, right, But it wasn't brought up during the
last 20 minutes. So it it booped, in my opinion,
because it just didn't. You didn't deal with it while
you were falling and I didn't want to destroy it.
Yeah, no worries. We'll deal with it later.
Because it if it landed, it was likely to be alliterated.
Calidad. Yeah.
Ask Roller 20D20. Here we go.
So it's actually pretty fun because I think I can.
Let's see. So that's 20D6 for me, 40D6 for
Franklin because, you know, double damage.
Well, 20 for him, 20 for him. Oh yeah, Like, well, double
damage would just. Yeah, theoretically.
I'm at a man time. Any object I hit will be double
damage. Yeah.
Individuals though won't be. I am going to smite as I land
though. I don't know what I'm smiting,
but I'm smiting. You know what?
A solid metal like meteorite hits the ground and it doesn't
like so much as make a crater as it just Burrows a hole.
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm envisioning.
All. Right, what level smite can I do
right now? Because this is fun and this is
what I had set up, I'm going to show you guys at least this.
I need to go back over to the other map to grab everyone.
OK, I just, I don't know if my token was already in there
because I wasn't actually in the game, but I've just booted up
real tiny. Oh, your token was there, but
you guys were falling through the sky originally, so.
Ezra and Franklin holding hands and going yeah.
And what's happening in the Pocket rocket?
Meantime, just for funsies. If they get a little screen they
could watch, but I don't. Know yeah, so do we have any
idea what's going on outside? But because like, otherwise Mama
is just going to be like in the kitchen eating something like a
Turkey leg. You could probably still be
eating a Turkey leg. Well, Franklin, one of
Franklin's dire crickets. You may have requested from them
specifically, I would guess to cast kind of like a Thalmatergic
vision of what's happening outside.
You know. Protecting their vision.
Like a GoPro. Yeah.
It's just like a a bug on top of each of our heads that was like
specially breeded with giant eyes.
Look at the the expressions of Ezra, frankly, as they're going.
Where the hell is after you cast?
So Whiskey Jack would probably be like little guy and again he
he didn't the the skeleton I imagine probably just crashed
into the ground into a bunch of little bones unless he cast
feather fall on the skeleton too.
I figured either that that's what I was trying to clarify
real quick. Just.
Before Oh, OK yeah, he. Popped off it too.
Is is Faust. You were going in the pocket
rocket. No, I missed.
That OK, Like what's what's the combat's over?
He doesn't really care about the skeleton.
Feather fall I do. He just flies down with his dope
ass wings. I care about.
Up to five creatures, I think you said.
If possible, I'll I would have. I think I had mentioned that I
would have sent the skeleton in after I commanded it to let go
of a whiskey Jack. Oh, OK, so it's back in the
pocket rocket then? Yeah, I I would have commanded
it to go back into its cage. Where the fuck it was Reusable
resources guys? Tootsie, you can't be this
cuddle. I'm busy.
As I'm trying to make buttercream with a fork and it's
not working. Oh no.
My office trying to make a bunch of stuff, Andrew.
And Franklin coming like a Wrecking Ball.
E. Faster.
No, I don't.
You know what Ezra would be saying?
That faster. Faster.
I'm just screaming. I've always wanted to know what
it is. To die, dude, that's pretty
intense. And then at the last second
before we before we impact, Ezra gives Franklin a big old hug.
So to clarify then, it sounds like Agonon and Mommy or yeah
Mommy are the only two that went into the pocket rocket because
Faust, you were casting Featherfall on Franklin, Ezra
and the giant skeleton that is. I guess I'm not casting it on
Franklin because he's choosing to just crash.
Or Ezra. Or Ezra.
Or Ezra, I'm. Just casting, I guess If
everybody's outside the pocket rock in the pocket rocket, I'm
casting it on me. Just to watch.
Well, other than the giant skeleton or whiskey Jack that
sounds like. They'll just help.
Protect them too. OK, Whiskey's fine.
He can just like he, he can fly. Yeah, right.
Like I can just like fall and then like then start using my
flying speed like before I hit the ground and not be falling
anymore, right. Like that's.
How that would work depends upon when you'd started it, but yes,
because I've definitely seen birds fall from the sky so.
Yeah. Normally after I shoot them.
How big of a plume do do we 'cause that's another thing like
the plume. It's pretty large, but did we
got those, Did we get those numbers then I don't think I
just about. Are.
We attacking a thing? That's my question.
There are things to be hit. There are things to be.
We just cross tariff and do a winter.
Hopefully. I don't think it was that bad I.
Don't know dude. It was 15,000, it was 15,000
feet. So per, per, per some other
logics, it's no, no taller than some of our some of our tallest
mountains, you know, and we have an avalanche.
We. Have we have avalanches all the
time from them? Ezra rolls a 20 to hit the
ground with Franklin. Yeah.
Are we, are we, are we aiming to
hit what we're what we're attacking?
Because I'm rolling an attack as I'm as I'm landing.
I'd had some other thoughts about this when it was different
areas. Surprise.
Are more. Or less.
Like aiming straight down in this, in this case, for the most
part, you know it give or take 500 feet, but what is 500 feet
when you're looking at it from a trajectory up of 15115 thousand
feet? So I think there wouldn't be
much aiming involved. It would just be a straight down
situation. And for that case, I I was just
going to take the straight damage that you guys rolled.
Back. And distribute it in the area.
Yeah. You're.
Going to hate. This rolls roll that.
Have rolled so I have done after using my weapon attack, using my
landing, using my explosion upon death, which will happen because
I die and then I explode and then I come back.
That's how I I'm doing this is 255.
Since I'm adamantine, I don't know if this counts as a crit,
but it would be doubled towards any object that I hit.
So 500 and 10 damage of object and 255 damage to creatures.
Death to everything below us. Is that counting me in that
calculation too? No.
Oh, I got. To connect.
Oh wait, hold on. How much you got to do your own
255 damage straight? But if I'm adamantine and I crit
whatever A and a crit auto crit objects and 510.
Not that. That's the total or in addition
to the 220-5250. Five, sorry, 255 would be if I'm
hitting a creature. If I'm critting, it's doubled.
There we go and I crit and I auto crit objects.
So the total damage you're. Describing add add 68 to that.
You did 2020 D. 20D6 So it came. 60O20D6 OK let me rephrase that.
I did the wrong thing. OK this changes things.
I did 20D20D20 OK, so 79 + 29 + 6 + 1379 + 29 plus 6 + 13127
standard one 2727 + 68195 total. And then if it's against objects
it would be doubled. That's it for both of us.
I'm sorry, my dissexy is kicking hard.
What was it? One more time?
It's a total. Total straight 195 for both
objects take double. Got it.
So 390. So what you guys see resolving
before you as you're landing down in towards the ground is a
small horde of the zomboids and bug like creatures in the mixed
that had been readied for war from the PNC which collapses
behind it off in the distance some.
What is this distance actually? Curious.
Some 300 + 400 plus feet away. As it collapses, you'd land in a
billowing plume on the ground, dealing 200 plus damage to your
cells and the ground. Because equal and opposite
forces is being what they are. It's, you know, the 195 I'm just
rounding up, which I presume instantly would annihilate
Franklin and Ezra. Wait, wait, wait, how much?
Wait, cut that damage in half because it's all bludgeoning.
You're raging. Yeah.
Are you trying to survive? Not intentionally, but I think I
might have enough to survive. I might. 105. 111 HP Wait 195.
I survived, that's what you guys said.
Yeah, I survived. Baby still alive.
Can't be killed. 195 damage, Still got 36 HP.
Let's go. Oh.
Shit. And I I have one hit point.
And look at you, we didn't die. Is Franklin too strong?
Ezra goes we. Didn't die.
That was fun. Do again, do again, do again.
Well, we'll have to ask Faust because he's familiar with that
section of the sky to teleport us there again.
Oh sorry, I need to do another second.
Just teleport us like 20,000 feet up.
Thanks. Oh my God, extreme skydiving.
All right, I'm all done for the night.
I've got my I finished. Clean my pants up, I'll be the
last is 70. I forgot there was some random
shit falling around for another additional 76 here.
Now we need to dodge shit. No, you guys are good.
It's falling around you because you couldn't hold on to it.
OK, how many does that equate to 22?
Oops. Thank you.
Tough feet. Thank you, Rage.
Thank. Hold on.
I'm still. What was it?
So of the 50 zombies that you would landed into 22 still
remain standing 20. 2 Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, easy. You destroyed about half of the
the flank of zombies that you were, Ezra.
Pulls out Ezra pulls out his axe and utilizes the once the once a
once a day feature. Regaining 70 hit points.
He's ready to fight some more. OK so I just message everyone
else to let them know we landed. This horde here.
Yeah. All right, what's the day we on
this bitch because I picked up a new spell that I've not gotten
to use and I really want to at least once.
Bring the paint. What the fuck?
Layer. It's not as big as I thought it
would be. Are they just on the?
Map. That's also what she said.
Oh, they are just on the map layer 123. 679.
Ten. Oh my God, no.
Yeah, fuck it. Where's the measuring tool?
Measure me a circle. Yeah, that's perfect.
A delayed fireball. Oh yeah, baby.
They all need to make a deck safe.
We're going to call all of these ones.
I wish you'd told me how many I had selected.
That was something that have a feature that I wish,
OK, because there's only twenty of those and that's what I was
trying to figure out while you were doing that.
But I'm not very quick with this. 12345678910111213 2122
Wow. Only 1/4 of the total zombies
that are on the current map are alive.
You don't. What?
OK, so which ones are alive? We'll call these ones all dead
from backlash because. So which one what?
What is presently alive? As you alight subtly on your
feet while after Ezra and Franklin.
Who made their entrances? Yes, there also isn't a way to
like select a bunch of things and then change their status as
far as and then try changing them onto token token.
Select their status changed from attacking to fuck.
Yeah, like I'd have to select each one of these, but we're
going to see this whole left side of the battlefield is dead.
What? The left side.
Yeah, it was just easier for me. I know that doesn't quite make
the most of sense when it comes to OK.
Then I'm maintaining where I through that.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I figured one, that's my that's
why I would so that first quarter of such like like where,
yeah, that where you're Yep, that would hit the last 22 that
are remaining. Right then you make a deck safe.
OK, 22 deck saves. Let's go I.
Mean as zombies we can just assume failure if you'd like.
Unless they're very nimble zombies.
They've got a -, 2 They're fast. So add a -, 2.
It is physically impossible for them to pass unless they roll it
at 20. Give them a chance.
To roll a chance. Unless they roll a gnat 20.
OK, I mean there's. So many of them.
One of them might. I'm going to roll 22 and if
anyone gets that then they survive but otherwise only.
Only to find. Before the battlefield changes,
I would like to call this battlefield Nun Zombie Left
Squish. OK, proceed.
It appears as if there was at least one zombie.
OK, well that one zombie 39 damage and the rest are going to
take 79 damage. Oh God damn.
No, none of those zombies are left.
They're in. I was hoping he'd live like the
one guy that went to the bathroom when the attack
happened and comes back to carnage.
You should have pointed out the dragon.
There's a dragon. Chandai, up above you guys,
there is a battle that it has been happening.
You can see as your fault as you had been falling through the air
and have focused on the region that you are.
You probably fell in a plane that was similar to these two
sets of Dragons circling each other over top of the crumbling
lava tower. Yeah, I'm eradicating the
zombies because I've already declared it, but how far away is
the other dragon? Yeah, no, this isn't a nice
dragon. I know we don't want to talk
about this dragon. One that he's fighting.
Yeah, the one, the one that Shondar is fighting is looking
the worst for wear. It is at this point in time,
probably at. I don't like wasting spells on
things with guaranteed resistances.
We'll call it in between 6 and 700 feet away 'cause they're up
in the air, right? Doing aerial combat above the.
Exact number is up in the air you could say.
Frankly, can you get me up there?
Now. How am I supposed to do?
That dude, I don't have a way fastball.
Special. You, you I'm going to tap on the
the the little bug on my on the top be like, hey guys, outside
where landed you could safely access it now.
And if that were the case I would say everyone needs to roll
initiative. Also, apparently I had set this
combat up incorrectly and thought the rum rollers were
going to be here. There we go.
Crossover. Ezra has a 19.
And we're going to make friends with Sean Dyer.
There we go. OK, I'm trying to figure out why
mine isn't rolling. Yeah, mine's not rolling, so I'm
going to old school it. Oh, just everything's glitchy
right now as it is. OK, We're just going to refresh
everything. Is frozen.
Yeah, like I see it, I see it, I see the beyond 20 and whatever
button, but nothing happens when I click it.
Let me reflect Refresh roll 20. That didn't do anything for me.
I'd. Cool.
We're not going to count that. We're going to roll with the
game once I figure it out if I can.
Oh. Fast.
N for fast. Oh, fast.
Oh, there it goes, 23. I don't see my token to click.
5/22. Yeah, mine's, mine's not out
here either. The Skellington's out there, but
he's not. He's not manning the Skellington
anymore. Oh, OK.
Want to let me keep I I? Mean, I guess he could be, but I
figured he. Would.
Yeah, you could. That's up to you.
You know what? We have him for an hour.
Yeah, fuck it. OK.
Yeah, OK. You could.
You could with the. Skeleton until he's gone.
Let me find find the stat block for the thing.
Try to like, eat the dragon out of the air as you feather fault
down. Smack it, swat it, just.
Got them guys. There's the stat block.
What about Ezra's? Ezra is trying to currently load
in the game. The game is kind of being a butt
hole in him. Yeah.
Jacob went downstairs to check on the slow cookers.
I don't know if he said that before he got up.
Yeah, for some reason roll 20 doesn't want me to load into the
game. I am still missing initiatives
from Agonon. I already said Ezra.
Oh, ignore that. I don't know why that did that
again. I don't see my token to click.
You are over here. You're.
Like I'm on a track pad, so it's really hard to can I?
There we go. That's how I move over, OK.
This is. I see me.
I put you off to the side because you were technically in
the pocket, rocket. Got it.
Time of descent so when you start you will actually be
somewhere around Franklin. OK.
Did that come? Through place to be.
Oh, I rolled initiative, but then you come through.
Yeah, so for some reason, like in the bottom left corner of the
D&D Beyond tab, it it wants to roll the self and I had to like
click everyone and then that's when it actually went through.
Oh right, no it's the the heck in.
I always forget I don't have the plug in on my work laptop.
Oh. Yeah.
Well, that that was quite nice. For me but. 25 for initiative.
Rolling to self would just roll for your for you.
Rolling to everyone would visibly show it to everyone if
that makes it more sense. For for whatever reason it was
set to like self and it was like queuing up the roles instead of
just doing it when I clicked the button.
I don't know. I don't know how that happened,
but I think I I think I fixed. It game please roll 20 let me in
the game. Well, I I see you on roll 20.
I think that there's like a DDoS thing going on right now because
Final Fantasy also just kicked everybody off and stuff like
that. Oh.
Fun stuff. Oh, is this Amazon Web Services
having a? Might be.
A diarrhea attack again, Whatever it was that happened
the other day, No ADB just went down like on a day when I had
like a therapy appointment. So we just had to like, use our
normal phones. That was so stupid.
Apparently where I live the power company is telling
everyone to plan for outages tomorrow because the wind is
going to be so bad. They say, hey, I'm going to
suck. So I was trying to go back to
the log because I'm slow agonon. Yeah, Oh, it's my turn.
No. What was the role?
O25. Thank you.
Yeah, you probably are actually. First with Ezra and Franklin
being the last two that I didn't, I didn't actually have
here. I have a 13. 19 for Ezra.
But I currently can't see anything because apparently
yeah, real 20 is being a butt hole.
OK, and every time I entered someone it like jumped me up in
the list and there's a lot of fucking shit going on in the
list list. So that's why I missed it missed
some of those. I apologize.
It's also, it also, it might be the problem that I had last time
when dealing with zombies. If you recall, there's a lot of
fucking zombies. It might slow everybody's system
down. And I apologize for that.
They were like 50 zombies originally.
We went, we've gone down to like 2 maybe.
I think it was after after those roles.
So that's that's a big plus. But Agonon, you definitely are
first. Most of the zombies are down.
There seem to be two big entities on the either side of a
gate and a regimen of of bugs in front of this gate as well
after. You.
Well, the bugs aren't ours. No, they are most definitely of
the PNC. OK.
And then you said the left side of the battlefield is all dead.
It is, and there may be two zombies up on the right side.
OK, so we're surrounded by enemies right now.
Absolutely. OK, If I move, do I draw
opportunities? Like am I within anyone's range?
Not at the time, not at the current time.
OK. And the left side is completely
clear. OK, let's see 5/10/15 Wait, let
me it's my speed. My speed IS4551015202530354045
and I can if I run I cannot attack correct?
If you dash, unless you have dash as a bonus action.
No, but what if I run? What do you mean by that?
Because like I, I. Is there a way I can go more
than my speed and still attack or no?
No. OK.
Not unless you have dash, Dash as a bonus action, Missy step as
a bonus action, or I think you have ethereal walking but I
don't know if that's a bonus action.
Most Rangers have Misty Step as one of their prepared spells.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Can I pretend for one round that
my initiative was lower because I got backgrounds coming out of
the oven in 10 seconds? Sure.
I got swaps and trees. OK.
Thank you. That would put Faust up as next
highest with the 23. OK, so these are the same kind
of bugs that fucked me up earlier or the fucked grand Am
up right? Yeah, I would say yeah, they are
the I consider them like demon mosquitoes.
They're like the the size of small houses.
Can I pull a Pathfinder and pull like religion or tasme arcana to
identify what they are and identify if they're immune to
shit? Before I place.
Blood plots on them. You definitely can.
What about this heads up display?
Oh yeah, my heads up display. I used that.
Yeah, that was Faust. I thank you for the reminder,
because it it's hard to keep track of all the players.
You are looking directly at the creatures and you're aware that
they are immune to poison damage and conditions.
Resistant to lightning, cold and fire.
So standard demon and my best spells yet.
I wish I wasn't joking about having banishment ready right
now. Plan on staying here.
How do you mean? From this location where you're
standing. Or from like the square.
From the location. Because if you do, then you must
roll a Constitution saving throw.
No, I just mean like as a group, are we leaving?
Oh, you're asking, not stating. Are we not going to kill all the
bugs and zombies first? Yes.
There was 2. And three good spell slots away
from being the world's shittiest fighter.
Yeah, we have a restaurant. Skeleton.
Let's see here. So I ask again, staying here or
are we leaving? Ezra has a melon.
Yeah, I look at Ezra. What does that mean?
He's never leaving. Oh.
I don't think I want to fight these mosquitoes right now and
after the damage y'all you 2 just took and the.
Yeah. Number of spell slots I have and
just the whole situation. I vote I use this third charge
on this fucking helmet. We get the fuck out of here.
We can do that. Where do you want to go?
I was going to aim us into sorcrities because it's
somewhere that it is. We just established this
session. He would know where the fuck
that is, something he can think of on the fly and go.
And also I don't hate the idea of going there.
Do you want to give like Ezra like a turn?
Well, he just, he just killed a bunch of stuff, so he should be
fine. But Ezra wants to kill more.
Also, and this is just on the fly obviously, but would Faust
have been not well off? It sounded like what we were
talking about, potentially so far as to have been sleeping in
the sewers. In the sewers, probably not.
Like his whole deal is like he was doing pretty good and then
things got really bad and he blames the gods for it.
Like he, he's a man that he was a man of means, and now he has
nothing. OK.
You have friends? Best friends.
Boom boom, boom, boom. Yeah, I'm going to yank
everybody out of here. Teleportation aiming at
Socrates. I can only target willing
creatures, so if Ezra really doesn't want to go, I'll leave
his ass. Let him have one round of fun.
One round of fun with those mosquitoes is a dead voust.
Also don't you have like 1 HP? Nope, activated my my axe, I got
71. Remember how much damage those
fuckers do? And you don't get to heal after
the damage they do. As it takes.
Oh, I don't like the sound of that.
Let's go like if you guys are afraid of these things.
We can dip if we can't heal from.
Mosquitoes that. From Chuck's game, yeah, no.
They're bigger versions of that. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
No. We can dip reality.
Let's. Dip.
We gotta go. Make Make it live.
Make it 20 snacks. Make it 20.
I know where I'm going so 25 plus is on target. 2014 through
24 is a miss. 6 through 13 is somewhere similar and bad shit
one through 5. You would.
Actually. I have a map up of Socrates, no
tokens are on it, so that you could at least visibly.
Academy. Academy.
As as well as demanding more snacks.
I'll take him to the ramen shop and treat him to the whole ramen
shop. The famous ramen shop.
I want ramen. Grandma sues.
Wow, you know I bet he does know what Grandma?
I bet You know what? I bet he knows Grandma Sues if
he's from the area. He definitely know.
Where that's where he's going to aim.
OK. Oh bad, are we good?
Wait, is the other team at Grandma Sues still?
No, they just left. They were.
Oh. We just left.
Cool bullet dodge. Does that doesn't mean that I
don't have all of the character tokens still there, but ignore
them if I if I'm the. Percentile it's greater than 25,
we're good. Fury.
Greater than 25 means you hit the mark.
Yeah, assuming it's a place that I am familiar with.
You would be very familiar with Grandma Sue's.
I would say it is one of the most affordable and delicious
noodle shops in the entire town, or city rather.
And you'd probably land right before the door with it seems
like a hubbub that seems to have just dispersed outside.
However, you don't, you're not sure what that hubbub is is
about. And if you'd asked anyone,
they'd say something about a screen that was popping up, or
rather a a, a visual in front of their faces and that is not
popping up for yourselves. What?
What do you mean what? Anyways, arriving I'm going to
buy out every single like noodle that she can spare and give it
to Ezra. I hope this Sue.
Ezra angry munches. I will just fasts gold.
My rule 20 is finally acting up. I need to go back for probably
the pocket rocket to get now. This is the current getting into
some crazy territory, because now I've got some full crossover
maps going all the way into Allopolis's stuff to get into
Socrates, but I need to go all the way back into the Pocket
Rocket to find token for Whiskey Jack.
Here we go. His token's just kind of hanging
out. So where are we?
I am zoomed way the fuck out. I have not moved to the token.
Here we go. Or the bookmark, rather.
I think this is the right one. Yeah.
A familiar sight to yourself as Meg, but not perhaps as familiar
to Whiskey Jack. I see a brown which Florida kind
of shapes landmass here? What is my map?
Oh yeah, it looks like the upside down A.
Little bit. Huh.
Everyone should be more or less saying.
It looks like this. Oh no, it no longer looks like
that. OK, I see things now.
It's probably because I didn't enable some visions here.
It looks like Franklin. Yeah, Ezra, you did it guys.
That was that was fucking thing. Where the hell is Mimi's
character? I just dropped it to or.
Mommy thought, oh you're inside already.
Mommy's already inside eating noodles, apparently.
She should. That's it guys.
You will always find me where the food is.
Exactly, KIRO does not have to search far and wide for the
Admiral. Find the nearest noodle shop.
Would feel AI would guess from the oh I got to hide this still
too. Dune is not here a physical jolt
and as if you would just stepped on to a fast moving vehicle and
then a sudden stop as you find yourself standing where you're
at, which is for the most part in front of a shop that has a
sign that declares itself as Grandma Sue's Nudes Emporium.
Nudes huh? Gets me every time.
And I thought we left that level a while ago, so, but really, how
much the news, you know, the other kind?
Wait, wait. As we're reading, As we're
reading the. Sign any money.
Do do I have to take clothes off 1st?
God no. Oh, we did it guys.
We ate it to the surface. High fives all around.
Smell better here? Agon takes a nice deep breath.
The first non questionable food in how many months?
All right. I really do not have been.
Made out of dead things and we've killed.
So did Ezra really eat all of the noodles, or is there, you
know, a spare bowl or two? Oh, there's plenty of.
Noodles are you? Are you, Are you willing to put
your hand there in your food near Ezra?
We've all eaten at some point in front of him.
How else do we eat? True, but are you aiming for the
food that's in front of Ezra? No, no, no, no, no.
He's not stealing Ezra's food. No way.
As you're probably walking up to the area where there is visible
food Ezra 2, you are seeing a layout of uncooked noodles that
you start to probably slurp and Grandma Sue comes up all hunched
and half the size of you but with a giant ladle and just just
whops you on the nose. How you do that?
You got to pay me. First, what do you want?
You you want some noodles? These aren't even cooked.
Talk to. Talk to Talk to Faust.
Leave me alone. Now get out of there.
Adam, how much to let the man just have his way?
With all these nudes right here, at least a gold piece.
Oh my I. Said a hundred on the counter.
Would you like some broth with those nudes, lad?
What's broth? The answer is yes.
Only if it's steamy. Steaming bowl of broth and dumps
it in the noodles that you're eating from Ezra, which is just
the most Hardy, umami, deep, rich, earthy, complex notes that
you've had in your life. Oh stop, you're making me
hungry. It's delicious.
You got more? Of course I've got more, I can
add them, but if I add too much to those nudes, they'll bloat
and become honest. Not like my Mama would have made
them. Don't want bloated?
Don't want bloated nudes? I mean, that's some some
people's cup of tea. True.
That's not mine. I prefer an El Dante.
Thanks. I found 10 years.
From Devil May Cry. How much food can Ezra?
Eat. What is the role for that?
For how much food Ezra can. I feel like the Constitution,
yeah, Constitution for sure. Hell yeah.
So hung up on Al Dante. Al Dante nerds.
From Devil May's Cry or 2020. Two Ezra's eating heartily.
He he's eating 22 noodles. No, no, no, he's eating
heartily. I would say that you're able to
eat probably 3 lbs of noodles and then you feel all of a
sudden as if those noodles that you've ingested have become four
times as large inside your stomach.
Dang. The lumbus noodles.
Oh. We got, we got, we got a cover.
Only did you eat? Those nudes were growers.
Can she come to the Rocket Franklin?
And she lives here. You gotta, I mean you can't
steal her, but like, if she wants to.
But she made good food. Yeah, but what?
We're in the surface now. We can't just do what we want,
otherwise we'll go to prison. Do you know a It didn't have
prison in hell because it was prison.
Do you know a single earthly force that could imprison us
truly? I look and I point over at the
giant tree in the distance. Probably that thing.
It's a, it's here, isn't it? It's earthly for now, right?
It's right there, all you all you do a tree you get, you get
big axe and you hit the tree and they go fall down no problem.
Baby, we gotta get the right axe.
I got that Bombay has. The right axe.
Mommy's axes are probably good axes.
What do you think, Mommy? What are you feeling?
Still eating. How's this all sitting with you?
Yeah, she's still. Mommy just gives you a thumbs
up. While you're slurping.
Yeah, yeah, just slurping thumbs up.
Anything, anytime mommy can swing axes is a thumbs up.
You think that giant turtle ship died?
I I hope not, it was pretty. Kind of just abandoned it,
frankly. Whiskey Jack says nothing.
I think it's likely. I hope not, but.
The last thing anyone had seen of it was it being sliced in
half with a laser. Thick, Who got the experience?
We we get goblins that make into another one.
Oh. Yeah.
But it's oh. Yeah, the goblins.
I'm going to pop into the up into the pocket rocket and
summon Bildreth. Bildreth.
Momentous day. Wait, we're here.
We're. Here we're here.
We're here, the surface. We're in the city of Socrates,
on the surface, outside of hell. We did it.
Well, it's good that we're outside of hell, but would you
like me to exhale all of the goblins right now?
I mean, that's up to you man. I'm just letting you know you're
also free to continue living with us.
We're hoping to train up an elite squad of tactical snipers
and other such a SWAT and suchness.
So we're just letting you know you could leave or stay right
now. We're in the city.
Everyone's safe. Might not be true later.
So yeah, you know. That it's wise to let a horde of
goblins free under the surface at this time, but.
Why there's not a lot of? Oh, there's not a lot of loan in
the city that. Works.
What's your problem with goblins?
I don't know if that's the but but but but but and he seems to
be struggling with the common terms for it.
But the best idea for all of these individuals to be released
inside of a populated area? It's like releasing Mormon kids
into like a downtown area is just not a great idea.
Well, they might. They might have coffee or a
birthday cake or something. I.
Don't know, have you seen some of the things they get up to?
Given that we took them OK, where did we find the goblins?
This is there. They're survivors from the
Goblin City that we did not destroy.
Located. Birds and how?
What part? Greed.
Greed, greed and what happens when a bunch of greedy little
greenskins? I'm green skinned but that's
besides the point. A bunch of greedy uneducated.
But you can reclaim that, OK. Right.
Hey, be fair. They had a school.
You guys just blew it up. Or let loose.
No, a he doesn't know. That keyword hat.
Damn it's uneducated or just let loose into the general
population like we already have an immigration problem as it is.
I look around like we're immigrants, we're illegal
immigrants right now. You might.
I look around for ICE. This guy's getting too real.
I was just going to make. Dude, no one is legal.
That's us. He's great again, don't you
worry. I hauled up the ring.
This is why we're all wearing these rings of don't fucking
look at us. Wait, do I have one of those?
Yeah, we handed everybody, yeah. You.
Hear that? Ring of Mind Shielding.
You hear some guards from outside.
Hope, Hope. Hope.
Hope, Hope, hope.
Let's go now. We're good.
One of them. He just reflectively puts it on.
We've had a report of some outside individuals entering the
premises. Grandma Sue steps up with the
ladle in hand. I've got some Bing customers.
Get out of here. Back out of the door for now.
You can tell that they don't venture far from the front
entry. Faust is going to press the
digitation himself to clean up and he'll go talk to the
gentleman. Is there a problem, Guardsman?
No, not with yourself. You'll be obviously of the organ
kind from Socrates. And these are my hired hands.
Well, you've got many a hand. What else do you hail from?
I'm an adventurer coming home. Well, that is fortuitous.
We've got many adventurer in the stats as this time.
Do you? Have you been paying your taxes
then if you've been abroad? Ezra leans over from Eaton as
well. Leave alone or I eat you.
Ezra, we can't do that anymore. I'm afraid that I am unaware of
the current tax rate. I'll have to discuss that with
the I. Cannot eat them.
Appropriate authorities. See, as it stands, we have been
at war and so I find myself as the appropriate authority at
this time. Seeing as I just teleported my
compatriots and I hear from utterly eviscerating the inner
machinations of the people you have been in war with, I highly
recommend that you allow me and my companions to finish our
meal. When I would not impose myself
on grandma Sues as it is most certainly a sacred place for the
nudes. But once you vacate the
premises, please present yourself to my to me and we can
discuss. I am Demetrius.
Demetrius. And what is your role,
Demetrius? The blue rings head guard for
the first half of the day. First half of the day.
Yes, we, we must, must take turns, as you know, for the war
tides. 12 hours is the Max. Which Queen Theater has
determined that someone may serve?
Well, and it has fallen to the guards to collect taxes.
Things truly have changed since that was gone.
Well, got them. Not in the general a sense, but
those who have been abroad, it is the case.
So those who ignorant to know better.
You're catching my dress fishy. Ezra.
Ezra is now irritated with them. They're interrupting food.
Ezra's not being interrupted. Ezra's not.
Putting my hand on there like as he gets to stand, I'd be like,
hold up there. Leave him alone.
Let him eat nudes.
You're interrupting nude time. How dare you?
Ezra's going to eat somebody for person.
I get arrested. We need to leave.
We can't live in the city. We can't.
If we keep him in nudes we might be OK.
Let's see. Do I have left?
100 gold buys a lot of nudes. Gold does buy a lot of nudes,
that was the intention. Let's.
See here. How big of a Dick do I want to
be this random stranger? You know what?
Fuck it, how does the new piece of cutlery received work again?
Have you added it to added it to your inventory then?
I haven't been on foul since we it was obtained.
I forget what it was called. It's called the oh wait, hold on
one second inventory. Olive fork.
Olive fork of Conviction. Add item oh live fork of
conviction. Add it to my.
We're going to get into a fight immediately.
The guard left the building. He was going to ambush as soon
as we left with this bullshit. Yeah.
You make a taste of that. It's not with this olive fork
though. Get him to hell.
Is it now? Where the hell is it now?
I just added it. Inventory, duplicitous
manuscript, all the fork of conviction.
There it is. You know what, fine.
I don't see a need to try and change his core beliefs.
You've convinced. Me you know what No, we're we're
going to throw it at them. Sure.
Is there like a is this spell? Is this thing subtle?
It is undetectable by the user unless they fail their save or
the receiver. I guess I should have said.
So if they pass, they pass. I don't know how high like my
guess my default DC is 18. No, no the thing.
The thing has a built in DC of 20.
No, it's DC 20. So like if 18 is high for me,
like is Max. So the 20 is pretty fucking
good. Yeah.
All right, yeah, I'm going to try and Nah.
Listen, my friend. Sylvania.
But a fool is not one of them. I'm certain our paths will cross
again, but I will handle my taxes through the correct
authorities as a citizen of Socrates.
Remind me what the role is again?
But wisdom? I'm not doing that to him.
I've changed. I've decided against it.
If you want me to, I can make a perception check.
But yeah, if I were to change his beliefs, I'd be changing a
lot. It's fun though, isn't it?
Also, I have to actually stab him and that's kind of obvious
to the guy next to him. You know, maybe.
So. We're.
Going to we're going to just hurt like either.
Honestly, I feel like this is more of an intimidation role
than a persuasion role. Building.
Where's the dumb then? Oof. 19 from my side.
On what? Oh, for the OK.
Wisdom role. What wisdom role against my
intimidation, I guess. OK, that's actually rough
because my intimidation is not great.
Usually it's just a PC, but you know.
Well, yeah, the dice check it was he doesn't have a passive
Wisdom because he's just a guard.
It doesn't want to roll for me. I don't have a + 3 intimidation.
He's just got that air about him.
See here. Come find you at your office.
Fuck it, I got a better idea and we'll discuss the matter then.
What was your name again? Demetrius, he says.
Demetrius, you may call me Balthasar.
I'll find you at your office. Well, my particular office finds
itself on the outer ring of the wall in the Blue Ring district.
I'll find you there. I'm sure you will, Ezra Mumbles.
And I will make a note to any guard captain before you leave
the city, if you leave by regular means, that they are to
inquire with me. Good day.
He bowed. I was his head.
I'm about to make this man's life hell.
I smell a sick rest. After a long rest, I'm going to
get my I'm going to eat some nudes.
Go into the pocket rocket, pull up a good book and a lot.
Can I just eating? Sick needs.
No, no, I have a better idea. Better Than Ezra eating you.
Yes, the takeover Scorpy Teeth starts now.
Takeover Scorpy Teeth starts in eight hours.
Precisely. Fuck, yeah, I'm into this.
Let's take over the city, I say, very quietly.
I guess we are not the ones who are friends with the Queen.
Well. She's going to be very friends
with Altizar soon. So what's what's We are in
privacy? Aguinon has some questions.
He's not against a revolution. You're too.
He just wants to know why. Like, what do we plan to do with
the city? Why do we?
Why do we want it, you know? Well, you're out of hell,
Agonon. What motivates you?
Finding a certain someone and I seem to remember that she knows
this noodle shop. So this is my first lead.
Well then I pray you luck. Much luck on your quest.
For me it's a bit more grandiose.
My someone is very long gone. The injustice of this world saw
to that. And would they support the
takeover of a city for the sake of taking it over?
Irrelevant, but. Do you want to be a ruler?
Ruler. There's a lot of work, man.
Then you got, you got to like, you got to rule the city.
No, incorrect. My goal?
So what are you going to do with it?
Eat and spread an ideology, one that will live long after these
old orc bones like that in a dirt.
I mean, to spread an ideology you have to maintain control
over the city, which isn't the sense really.
In the city just before us, there's a lot of work.
Force. Force, a very strong word.
That's not my game plan. You had to sign.
Me. They will follow me willingly.
Inside of the NATO shop. Ezra.
Gold an invitation to the city at large to a wedding of Queen
Thea and Shandar in 10 time 10 days time.
That sounds fun. Will there be drinks?
Are they free drinks? There would be free beer and
wine to all free. Food.
That's all I needed to hear. Food as well.
As your goals are food. Got 2.
Goals make Mama Ash happy and break all the the the Ashima
crystals. That's all.
Oh, wait. And.
More food. I will be upfront.
My ultimate goal is to make it so that much as I discussed in
the depths of hell. My goal?
Is to see that. The gods do not retain any
influence on this world. They may return, but they will
not find their worshippers here. They will find the people that
are resilient and capable of standing on their own without
their meddling. So are you just going to let
mind control everyone or they still going to have free will?
Because that again feels like something that God would do.
Have no intention of controlling anybody, perhaps influencing one
or two people as necessary, but the.
I could get behind. I could get behind a nonviolent
takeover that involves free will and choice.
That's fine. I just this based on this
group's track record, I was picturing something else.
Why were you in hell? You can't destroy.
I don't know, quite honestly. See, I'm fairly certain I am
there for blasphemy because I think we can do better than they
can, but I also don't think any one man 1 entity deserves such
power. So is it the having the power
you are against or using? Having name 1 into the one God
that does not influence like Swield its influence.
The moon. I mean not one that exists right
now. Even the good gods, as they
might be called, like Persephone, seek nothing but
devotion from their worshippers. OK OK hear me out.
What if there was a someone who with a God powers that did not
want anyone to even know they were God, did not want a worship
base, just wanted the power but there was no worship base?
Even the gods. Change is the thing.
People change. What happens when you have lived
1000 lifetimes, have seen those you cared for die 1000 times?
You grow old cynical. I guess passing judgement on
someone based on something they might do also feels like
something crappy a God would do. It is not a judgement, it is a
measure of probability and inevitability.
Still feels a little unfair. Vow should use big words again.
What's that mean? No disrespect to you, but the
fact that why would you desire such power?
Oh, it's not me. Then to who of who do you speak?
That certain someone I'm trying to find if you must ask, but
also I've never really been one for telling someone what they
are before they know it or before they are.
It feels a little restrictive. May I ask why such an in person
would even want godhood if they did not intend to revel in it?
Self-defense against potential threats.
She's got this whole like Kingdom and she ought to be
tagged. It's not in this this sphere,
it's elsewhere, but she's one person up against a lot.
She kind of wants to like, isolate her little her, her
lands. Have you like a imagine like a
big like like shield bubble? Revelry's.
Fun, but that isolation also not in its own way, be making a
decision for a great many people.
OK OK, isolation was the wrong word.
People can still come and go. It's more like a a shield for
violence. She does not want to expand her
border, she wants to just maintain them.
Is removing violence also not a removal of free will?
I mean, if a nation wants to attack you, would you not want
to put up a shield? I'm not talking about violence
within. Like she's not going to mind
control people and make them not be able to do violence.
It's more like a larger threats to the nation as a whole that
she's looking to eliminate. Well not eliminate the wrong
word that she's looking to make sure that they cannot come to
the nation it. Sounds like this is not a place
on this star, on this plane. I am creating my utopia here.
OK, I don't know if it's star or plane.
I don't really. That's a little beyond me.
It's not this planet. That's all I know.
I don't really know what you mean, but yeah.
I he he strictly wants to remove the gods influence from here
from. This planet.
OK.
He might his attention elsewhere.
If he lives long enough to see it, then I have no qualms.
I guess would you be willing to assess the gods on an individual
basis? I mean, it feels to just kind of
like take an entire group of people and summarize them with
one. Definition Power corrupts
absolutely. I pointed Franklin as he says
this also. It doesn't matter.
I guess it really, it really depends, right?
These gods are mortal men with flaws, given power, the truth.
When in history has that ever worked out?
Long term. The the truth is that I will not
live long enough to ensure that no God's ever come about.
What I can do is hopefully educate arm people so that
whenever it does happen, they do not need them.
We could change that Voust. We've got a potion in the poker
rocket to turn anyone into undead if you want to live
forever. I don't.
While you guys are talking grandma and states oh you guys
have got slight good appetite, I appreciate that about someone.
Would would you possibly be able to assist me in some other
regards? If it's eating more food I can
help. I swear to God Mama Sue is like
a criminal underground queen shit.
I cannot wait. I hope.
What's up? What's up, Mama Sue?
What can we do for you? I could definitely.
Lay it down, baby. Assist you in providing more
nudes but only after I will were well with the with the down
payment you have, you could definitely have all the nudes
you could have today. However, I do have some
situation with the underground coming above ground and
Socrates. I don't know how else better.
To I give everyone the side eye. Like molding?
Like people coming from hell and like.
Well, it seems they've been coming from the sewers.
There seems to be some sort of problem down below, and Queen
Theatre is far too busy to deal with it from her high up and on
the upper terraces. But our lower terraces down
below we we've had some run insurance with a very large
awesome rats and like coming out of the sewers.
Have you tried? Eating them like a level 1
quest. It is very relatively slow
quest, you guys can probably obliterate it, but.
I. I I could use.
I like a whiskey Jack. She could use some levelling.
Mama Sue, you are an icon of the city for the for you.
I will do it. And she holds her heart.
That is quite a pleasure to hear.
I do my best. How old is Mama Sue?
Like 102. Oh, sweetie, what is Mama Sue?
She's. Like half human, half fork.
Damn, Orc's got a long life in this universe, all right?
Yeah, go on. Leaning into that.
Used to be elves thing, I guess. All right.
But we should gear up a whiskey Jack and send her against an
army of rats. But if you go outside in the
streets, there is an entry into the sewers.
Gonna find some rats there. Whiskey Jack, get some levels.
Sure. Can Foust get his goddamns
longer? Sure, I'll get.
I would like some some levels. Yeah, Yeah, that sounds, that
sounds good. If you need a a rest before you
go I, I understand. You can certainly just use the
corner in the room. Yeah, we, we just like fought a
giant robot and like up 1000 zombies or something.
I don't know. I have.
Crazy I thought thanks to the book because basically all I did
that fight was just burn through what I had in the book so I
could. I've still got like 2 cloud
kills. We could fuck up some rats.
Yeah. She asked nicely and her food is
good so. I bring some back when you put
them in a soup. Oh.
Or I can go deal with the guard while they take care of the
rats. You're going to cloud kill the
guards. I'm going to cloud kill the
guards, but after a short rest I'm going to gash one of the
guards. Oh.
Did everyone just go quiet? Yeah, very, very quiet, because
I think everyone is questioning whether or not ganking and
killing a guard is. Not killing a guard.
I have no problem with it. Ezra.
'S OK with that. He'll eat the.
Guard dash Ghios, right? Yeah, Ghios.
It's the pronunciation. Depends on where.
We're like the traditional ways. Gesh, apparently.
And he's going to he's going to Brian brain control it.
And I got no. Problem you got code gios and
code Lyoko mixed up Code gios 10 out of 10 and.
Garmasu points to some bookshelves that are at the end
of the eatery hall and says if you have a small space that you
would like to occupy, why you rest, That would be the best
place to do it. No one would notice.
He's going to go take a nap. He's going to sleep.
I'm going to put every spell slot I haven't spent into my
book and then I'm going to take a long fucking nap.
Happy time. So how many spell slots do I
have left 3410? What does putting slots into a
book mean? My My Table item lets me take
any spell slots I have left and store them for later.
Oh cool 3. That is why Faust was able to
unleash. Integrate like 10 times.
So much heck. Die, die, die.
Go and try counting again. Three 7-Eleven 74713. 7.
Shut the fuck up. Whiskey Jack leans in.
Real. Close and.
Whispers 6/7. 3535. No.
The book. 670 there. Sweet Jesus in Christ.
Anyways, it sounds like. AI mean the real thing is I
think everyone has to, I'll say this in character.
Here's the thing, we've been going for so long with one goal,
which is to escape hell and get to the surface.
So I think everyone really just needs to think about like what
they want to do next. I'm down to clown.
Eat like What are your goals? What are your What are your
nose? What are your?
Elsa is about to cut to like is going.
Faust's main goal is to create what I would call the I.
I guess he's taking not he's creating Gnosticism is what he's
doing. But like it's strictly all the
gods are awful. Fuck this.
Gods are real, but they're not good for you.
I Franklin's goal aligns more so with Vouse in the sense that
like he knows that there is this bubble around our planet and
several other planets, as do we all.
His ideal would be to push all the bad influences such as the
mortal made gods which are mortals turned God which in his
opinion eventually will become corrupted outside of it.
Then conquer everything inside of it to build up a society that
can eventually stand up to the gods whenever they do.
You know, counter strike or worm the way back in.
So. Agonon could get on board with
this if it's on an individual basis.
See. That that that there can't be
any passes, I don't think in a system like this.
Based on judgement of past actions and how much damage and
control they have exerted on the world.
Because what if there's just like like some minor God that
just like God of a river or something and it just kind of
like dupes around in the river and does its own thing.
So not too. Franklin be like.
Well, that sounds more like a guardian spirit, perhaps.
But it has God power. If you if you want to get really
granular about it. Wrenches into everyone's
ideology or anything, but no one has experienced what it means to
be in heaven in this world. Accurate and it might be kind of
similar or. No one in general.
In here currently. Like this group?
Oh yeah, I can't say that I have.
So like in explaining what it means.
To. Be a God would be a whole nother
level that don't want to have the experience in.
Although Ash is very God damn close and I wish she were here
because there would have been some things that would have
happened. But that being said, I think
Franklin might be the closest without going.
Back level 20. Oh shit motherfucker, don't you
have a warlock level 2? Yeah, I'm a triple class total.
Paladin 7, Cleric 1, Warlock 12. What is the warlock level though
in? 12 undead and then my cleric is
in life. Undead you get a visit rather
more of a pull into space of the white space of yourself as
Franklin. I pull out very quietly the the
olive fork and as I prepare to try to stab a God.
What you perceive at least in the space of a white void space
of Ashma, considering that your God is that if on death and you
see the last form that you that he took for your view, which is
a fully armored samurai and he stands there and goes, you must
partake in the ritual ascend little one.
When I walk up to him and try to pretend like I'm awestruck, Oh
my God. Amazing.
And I I want to make sure that I can place my hand on him and if
I can make physical contact, I immediately stab him in the
neck. Damn.
With the olive fork. Another horror crooks down.
Fuck you just like full prison Shank.
Just like. Step, step, step, step, step.
You can roll. There are some pluses with the
fork, but. I don't remember them.
Offhand, I'm looking at the armor class of Ashma.
One second, I'll tell you. I've got it up range of 60 feet,
you know, reach what? Oh, it's thrown.
Plus one bonus damage rolls. I'll use Guided strike though to
give myself a + 10 to hit. Damn, I'm built to kill this
motherfucker. What'd you get?
I don't know. Let me roll.
Don't have? Porsche also gives you a + 5.
To hit. Yep.
Right. So in addition to your regular
role to hit it. Should be all rolled in one.
I, I know, but like it's like I have my plus, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, it's a bonus. It's a bonus.
OK, on top of everything. Alright so where's my Channel
Divinity guided strike? Sorry I don't mean to take so
long. Where the fuck is it?
That's the problem with having triple class.
Hard to find anything my on hand.
Define sense. God damn can I just have 3
guided strike? Yes I can.
Fuck yes. We make an attack roll, I can
use a channel divinity to gain a + 10 bonus so it'll be a + 10 +
5 and then my roll to hit which I will just use my blood spear.
Is it at advantage as it's a sneak attack?
Yeah. So 27 + 15 so 3042.
That'll hit. Could you attack twice?
Yo. Constitution saving theorem.
Fuck yeah. Oof. 16 Roll the 2.
You need it at 22 for this as you dab Ashima and deal the
damage you they're dealing. You can roll the damage if you
like. Would more than likely not kill
him in one strike with 200 and 20 or 72.
As is HP. You feel your flesh starting to
just rot away having gone. Baby.
Not just your flesh. I apologize.
Including your at a mine time. At a mine time, flesh starting
to rot away, dealing 96 points of damage.
Sick I start healing so I'm going to roll to hit twice.
I don't know how that works with the items abilities.
Definitely do that. He is screaming though over
there. My son, hold thine forks,
prongs, whatever thy be. You can bathe in the flesh of
the Outlander and become a God. I continue stabbing him.
Fucking die, die, die, die. Die, die, die, die.
Oh yeah, I yell out. This feast ends now.
There, oh, it's level. Two, if the thing says if I yell
out, the feast ends now. It becomes a.
More powerful legendary. I do that at the start.
As you're doing that. +5 bonus damage to attack.
Oh, so it would have been additional?
Yeah, that's fun. As as you're doing that.
Oh, again, and all saving throws against spell.
And was the thing that I made a save on a spell or a illusion
against illusion and a fact. Never mind.
No, as you're doing that. Ashima flaps his hands and you
see a ethereal looking door appear before him as he steps
through and disappears. Counterspell fuck you.
Jesus, what does he have to say? Groll, apologies.
I forget this. Dear Lord.
Sorry, I'm pulling it up kind of spell interrupt a spell at level
5. Go find.
Some deal if it's third or lower it automatically I make the save
or I make the the check DC is 10 plus the spell's level.
What's dimension door? Oh.
It is 4I cast this at 5:00. OK.
And then of course, you're going to get a dread counterspell on
top of that. A dread counterspell.
Yeah. 13 psychic damage. Fine.
And that's the 10, OK.
You would already cast that at fifth level, so he's going to
have to cast this at 6th level, I think.
So you need to roll a 16 DC. Meg, Billy, check.
I think yours just cancels mine. It was the dread.
Word I think. If he's counterspelling my
counterspell. Because you had done it at 15
and he done it at 16. Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, you're you're counterspelling me at a higher
level. OK.
Yeah. So it counterspells my
counterspell. I'm used to the I'm used.
To the. Three stab you can't spell,
Yeah. Yeah, do I still get the olive
fork abilities since I stabbed him twice to use the absolute or
the powers? I didn't think you would
actually stabbed him with a fork.
I thought you were doing something else.
No, I used the olive fork to stab him in the neck a bunch and
then I guided my own straight using a channel divinity.
And you described it like a prison shrink.
You're like step, step, step. Yeah, I get multi attack step
twice. The bonus DC.
I was counter spelling the spell that you would attach which
would not apply to the armor class in my opinion which is his
18. You counterspelled my
counterspell of him casting date or dimension door.
Oh, OK, OK, OK, OK. I'm backing up to the when I
stabbed him twice in the neck with the olive fork.
I assume I can use the powers as I stab him.
Theoretically, but it sounds like he successfully dimensioned
to it away. I mean, he's dimensioned during
in reaction to getting stabbed, but I still stabbed him, right?
At least once, I guess it sounds like.
So then it was my action is to stab twice.
I get 2 attacks per action. So on my surprise round I
attacked twice. Then he gets his turn and
dimension doors. OK.
Right. OK.
So I'm going to do the imposed belief 1, which is expend 1
charge stab a creature. It must.
It's weird. Does target must succeed on ADC
20 Wisdom save? Yeah, DC 20 Wisdom Save or
impose a belief. 26. OK, so he will succeed on that.
What's the other good one? I guess then I will do a
absolute suggestion on him to cast gash gash gash gash.
Yeah. So target since it just says DC
20 but it doesn't say what. My first instinct is always
insight, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say
intelligence for the sign. He's got the least amount in
that. Sure, I mean your item.
And that was not natural 20. Non natural, so it meets it
beats it. Yeah, he's got a.
High end. He succeeds twice.
Yeah. OK.
And as you're stabbing him, then he.
Oofs. Out of your white space and you
hear the slightest reverberation through the white void space of
bathe in the top of the Outlander blood.
My eyes and I will my intent to bring him back so I can continue
stabbing him. You can get away, I don't care.
I've made my point. I think that would be your
charisma role versus his intelligence.
Sure. Just a rock charisma.
Yeah, save. You could do save.
Save. Yeah.
Well, I rolled the 15 so it's with a shave.
It'll be a 2031. Jesus, he'd rolled 9 so you see
his form underneath of you, shimmer out of existence as he
was getting away and casting the dimension door, and then shimmer
back into existence as you're willing him to be inside of your
white void space. And I will myself over to the
tub and I try to drown him. Maybe this will kill you.
Die in God blood, in your own blood, you filthy.
He he says from underneath and you catch from the bubbles that
pop up. I do not need to breathe this.
Is going really well. Yeah, I don't know, guys.
Trying to figure out how to kill this guy.
Wait, I have my God book, right? I pull it out and I start
beating him with it. This came from the table.
You can tell me to stop anytime. You could poof me out whenever
you want. Otherwise I'm just going to
continue trying to kill him. You mentioned Dory yet again.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. I run over to the top and I
empty it into my bag. As you're raising your book, he
he, he teleports away and standing in the empty.
White void space tub or the book?
What did you empty into your back?
If I'm if I'm in this white void space and the tub is still
there, I'm going to empty whatever is inside of it in my
bag. Which just seems to be a tub
full of blood. He wants me to bathe in it.
I taste it it. Tastes irony.
I drink some. You feel a surge of power
throughout your body, one of that that you can only relate to
being released from a plethora of bonds.
You are now an Outlander, along with all of your other
characteristic traits. Outlander.
Cool. That doesn't make me a God
though, right? It just makes me a.
Accurate. Yes.
I am I I hope the me stabbing the God multiple times indicates
that I I do not want that part. You're on the path to potential
godhood though. Hey, I get it.
You need power to take to destroy power.
So cool, I go home right I I'll I'll put some some of this or
blood into potion bottles and then go back.
I can share it with my friends. You.
Proof that you're all leveled enough, but I'll offer it to
you. And finding.
XP potion or something? Everyone else still with their
nudes? I would guess Schlorep.
It's so does Franklin just pop back suddenly bloody and
disheveled? Guys, I stabbed a God in the
neck twice. Well, that escalated quickly.
Yeah, do tell which start with which one.
It was Ashma, the one we were just hunting.
So apparently this book that I have is hers, His.
So I'm a undead. Warlock.
And when I yeah. So does that mean all I'm?
Undead Warlock? That's a good question.
He was afraid of it, though. I stabbed him with the olive
fork. He saved a bunch, so that was
great. Let's see what else happened.
Oh, yeah, There's this giant tub of blood, and I put out potion
bottles of the blood. I drank this and it made me
somehow stronger, better, so I'm a little sad.
My original plan was to try to get the corpse of my of the
wizard known as Matt and then occupy his body and then staple
myself to it as a form of like a laugh like punishment towards
them. But I can't do that anymore.
How come? I think this thing when I drank
it, it like bound me to this body.
Oh yeah. I mean, it's this is not a bad
body, right? Who says all myself.
It's it's pretty. Bad.
I mean basically a living cannonball.
Anyway, I've taken up enough time, shit's fucked here.
Here's some blood potion from some sort of God or out world or
thing. I don't know if you get any
experience or something from drinking it, but I push it
forward. Agonon tentatively takes one.
He's very interested, but also a little grossed out, and he's
kind of like holding it up in front of his face, inspecting
it. So what did you say this did to
you again? Precisely?
Let let me look it up. Ritual of the Outsider.
Sounds like me. Josh, you probably have the book
I Don't Have It on Me. Gives you a bunch of stuff.
Franklin gives something like liquid to everybody.
Yeah, it's a little. Blood vials yeah got blood.
I mean, gives you lots of cool stuff is.
I can't find, I don't, I don't have the thing on me.
Josh probably does because he has the PDF, what he's probably
looking for right now. But it is apparently it's it's
like the primer to get your body ready to become a God.
I figure we could do this thing, get powerful, and then still not
become gods and take them down if we want.
Though like you say, you want to do things on an individual case
by case level and we will have to compensate and coordinate and
make sure that we have some sort of agreement here.
How about this? What if it was like instead of
killing them all right that was your OG plan.
It's like kill the bad ones and ask the good ones to please
leave and stop fucking with people's lives.
I mean that sounds good to me, I'm all for killing the bad
ones, but I just feel like we need to assess their actions
individually, which I will admit most of them will fall into the
stabby stab category, but we need to at least evaluate.
Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, and the other
thing too is like we're, we're on the surface now, guys like
if, if we want to split up, if we want to do our own thing,
like we could totally do that if you want.
I'm I like you guys. I have a lot to do yet so I'm
not going anywhere. But like, you know, no one asked
to be sent to hell. True.
Like did we ever figure out why we I mean one, one person for
for blasphemy? But like what?
What did I do man? I mean OK, I did lead a hasty
rebellion and almost destroy a Kingdom, but it was an accident
man. It all worked out great.
Actually in the end it worked out like perfect, except for me,
I kind of got the short end of the stick, but we we got to
where we wanted to in the end. I mean, I guess I don't know how
it works, right? How it works?
Like how how the scales are weighed.
Oh. What's wrong with the eating
thing? I mean, maybe some of us could
be his table. He briefly did, but he stood up
just before the end of the sequence.
OK. Nevermind.
Perhaps part of us were put in this group not necessarily and
as as a punishment, but because of different threads that need
to be pulled in order for a certain outcome to happen.
Could be. Again, probabilities.
Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure I was put here.
I mean, I sat at the table for a long time, so I still have those
memories. I was put here by someone else,
right? I So what I did is I ate my
mother. Oh, oh, I actually, I think I
remember you going over something like that in the
beginning. It just kind of glazed, glazed
over it because, you know, I was in hell.
There's a lot going on. I didn't really seem like real,
felt like kind of like you were being you're pulling my leg.
But no, I believe it now. So what did Mama do to you?
Nothing, she tried to save my life.
I was born and raised in a cell in the basement of my parents
house. Dad was Dick, the guy used it.
Abused by the neighborhood? So she was complicit in your
captivity and your abuse. Yeah.
But I'm pretty sure she was abused as well.
Eventually she poisoned my dad and then she came downstairs and
she divvied up some juice and it tasted funny and she poisoned
both of us. But she didn't die.
Or I didn't die, but she did, but I was still locked up and
the keys were outside of the cell so that I had to slowly
starve. She tried to murder suicide.
She didn't try to save you. Yeah, that's completely there.
Yeah, Jack has just completely stopped eating at this point.
And. Then you know, but noodles
dripping out. Yeah, just as beef.
So then I ate my mom and then I eventually died, and then Ashima
came out of the portal and offered me a new life.
And then I woke up in hell with all my new friends.
OK, so that's like justifiable self-defense.
Is it like a little bit overkill?
Yeah, but I I think it, it was merited.
So that's, that's not murder, that's not doing something bad.
That's giving someone what their due because of actions that they
already did. Like a child so.
This age and I kind of show what I look like, like 12.
So formative years. Perfect.
We love it. And I learned every lesson from
every level of hell we went on. Greed.
Vengeance. Lust.
I waggle my eyebrows. I think Vengeance was the first
one. Yeah.
That's what got you there. It was a good time.
I don't want. Mine probably was greed out of.
The nest, you know he was one of those like fat babies.
Oh no, did look suspiciously unlike either of your parents.
Yeah. OK, Yeah.
Any such cases? I know that type suspiciously a
little bit too large. Yeah, you know I'm talking
about. Yeah.
Oh, and I I know exactly the little buggers you mean.
So you're going to hunt them down?
Or what's the plan there? Yeah.
Yeah, what's coming for him? He takes some of a bite of his
noodles. I don't know.
I just I I never turned back. I can I can respect leaving the
past in the past. So why do you think you ended up
in hell? I'm.
Too handsome. What's?
The like the middle distance. Pride.
OK, pride. There we go.
OK, so we got wrath, We've got greed, we've got pride.
What else we got down here, guys?
Maybe we're a full set. Maybe that's how the group was.
Treated definitely is lust Rath. Definitely is not lust.
Ezra's gluttony. Definitely fall under pride.
Sorry, doubling. Oh, Jack, I I can be lost.
That's fine. That's all.
Good. I mean, it's not a competition.
I could all be guilty of multiple crimes.
I know I am. Ezra is definitely gluttony.
Fair enough. Yeah.
Wrath maybe? Yeah, both we.
Had to like. Under Wrath.
But if you had to pick a one. A Wrath pride.
Have you guys heard all these people around us talking about
them seeing a new system or something coming up?
No. What are we supposed to?
Say what now? As we were coming in we heard
some people talking about how like their little pop up screens
in front of their face. Now things are.
Oh yeah. Look.
People clicking up the air. This new generation man.
Oh, are we? Are we being meta right now?
Is that? What?
No, we're in the game. Are.
But what system? What are you talking about?
They, I don't know what I'm talking about.
The other people, when we walked in, they were talking about it,
Josh mentioned. Somebody was talking about as we
entered. Josh, are they still fiddling
around with the screen in front of their?
Faces. So that we can witness the the
behavior live? Or did they stop doing that?
There's no more noodles left in the shop.
Sorry, I had myself muted, they continued.
Yeah, Ezra has probably eaten noodles dry by now.
Nudes. Dry nude?
That's not cool. The worst kind.
So you said they're still doing it?
Oh yeah. We just were around with all the
weird people waving their fingers in front of their face.
You can't tell me that's normal. Apparently everyone's
hallucinating some like mass hysteria that we have escaped.
Somehow I I lean over I. Lean over to the table next to
us. I'm like, So what?
You OK buddy? What what you got there?
You don't see it. There's some sort of visual in
front of you, in front of our eyes.
We can select some things. Oh my God I don't got one.
What do you mean select? Huh.
Like marbles out of a bag. Like the game?
Wait a minute, it does have an asterisk that would hear it and
then he side eyes you hard and he says limited to those that
have a good one neutral alignment.
Wait, pause. Hats off.
How do I check my alignment? I forget.
You're being being in the evil campaign would have at least an
evil alignment. You may have you may have
neutral, but you have at least a neutral yo an evil alignment he.
He's lawful neutral. I I guess I never said it, it
just says neutral on my sheet. But he's, I guess he's, I don't
know, chaotic evil or something, or neutral evil 1. 100% lawful
evil, but it's very much law kind of lawful evil.
Is there is chaos? What?
Chaotic. This guy is a fork of a chaotic
good character, so it's kind of wild.
He's like, I feel I. Feel Ezra's like chaotic neutral
because it in his mind nothing he does is bad he just.
Well, Rick, it's So what is the nature of evil?
Dude, you wanted to level a city?
The nature of evil in Ontario is specifically, as we've stated,
at least good is help. Not necessarily helping others,
but at least having others interests at heart with your
intentions, not just your own. You know, as opposed to evil,
which is being self-centered and only having your own interest at
heart. Well, I got moved.
That's thinking about Mama Ash. Yeah, that makes it very
difficult, because then Franklin is certainly not evil.
Faust isn't evil either, because me he's.
Kind of evil. Yeah, he's doing a bunch of evil
shit to make it so that nobody else has to do the evil shit.
So he's a terrorist? Does that also mean then that
perhaps? Rarl is a martyr.
No Rarl is. Rarl is 100% evil.
I've been. Joking.
Good campaign, the evil campaign for months.
But I think it might actually be true.
Yeah, Rarl is very selfish, very me and mine.
Franklin is I will commit evil. I I will commit evil for the
greater good. That was just a borderline.
Like he's he's a borderline Marxist.
In fact, now that he is aware of who Marx is, he might be.
You guys are now in the same city.
It might be a time that it's. A group's re rebalance.
Yeah, if that were the case, you know if.
I posted the ritual of Transfiguration.
So I was looking for that for so long.
Is that the Outlander one? Yeah.
Oh, thank God. I was looking for that for so
long. I was still scrolling.
So I think I I wrote down lawful neutral when I first made Agonon
and I really do think it describes how he's been acting.
And I looked up a a definition and it says follows concepts
like honor and tradition but for their own personal code.
And I feel like that's what he's been doing.
What's that? That tracks with the Yeah
sensation. But that's but that's lawful
neutral according to definition. So neutral is like your own
personal code and lawful is like he always has to have a reason
for something and it has to feel fair.
Not necessarily right or bad, but fair for based on his own
personal code. Well, and going back to our own
definition, and that may be something that we can revisit
being at the end of the year, just throwing that out there to
everyone, but is when it comes to the definition of evil versus
good for Tara, evil is the idea that you were me myself above
all else. Wouldn't it be chaos and
deception? Putting yourself above all else
is different than using your own personal code to make decisions.
It's like if. The distinction.
Is the is like it, like he said, like chaos, like the evil God is
the God of order? Faust is 100%.
Order so I I don't want to equate method with result.
So like, your method is your own personal code, but your result
isn't all necessarily for you, but like, selfish.
Right. So like Agnon's not selfish, but
he has his own personal definition of what is fair and
there is a logical. In Faust heart that does make
this personal and whatnot, but he has like convinced himself
that he's not doing this for him, even though it's probably
not entirely true. That is applicable though,
because belief is 9/9, yeah, 9, ten, 9/10 of the origination of
sin, in my opinion, at least in this case, because of the fact
that like you, you, you can't have an understanding of where
you lie on the spectrum of good versus evil versus as opposed to
what you believe and what other people perceive, I guess.
Nobody believes they're evil. Exactly, exactly.
And so then you have to then go into it with that ideal for your
character. Believes he's evil.
I was going to say, there's absolutely characters that
believe they're evil. He know, he know he's he knows
it. I'm doing evil things.
This makes. I've got a character that's
just, he knows he's an evil bastard and he's 100% OK with
it. Yeah.
Well, I don't know. This is reasons, Yeah, this is
me doing my best to with explaining, explaining what
we've determined. It's hard up to this.
Point for good versus evil, right?
Like it. It is very much a perceptive
thing, so. So evil is selfishness and good
is altruism. Yes, at this time, if you would.
Like what I think we need to do, Josh, is I think you need to re
remake the the little alignment chart.
And I say that because the way you describe things is different
than what like the typical system is like.
You could be lawful Evil, actually.
Now. But yeah, 'cause like you,
you're, you're saying like new, like you can have neutral evil
but in, in like the regular system, but you can't have a
neutral evil in your game. You could totally have neutral.
Well, maybe let me think. What I'm saying, yeah, Josh,
make make of a nine grid matrix and then have us define our
characters based on that matrix. Because right now we all have
slightly variations of what we understand the core D&D matrix
to be, and then you have your own.
And so trying to translate the two verbally is tough, but if
you just make yours, then we can sort ourselves.
I see what you're saying, Emily, but I'm I'm, I'm slightly the,
the, the, the determination of what I've explained already is
actually something that has been determined from before from
people that have been playing. Yeah, but that was a verbal a
long time ago. It'd be nice to see it, you
know? Yeah.
And to my point, which is, are we changing it before I
determine what that is? I feel like we should serve
ourselves based on how the world has been because I don't think
we should change the matrix. I think our characters can cross
the matrix based on development. Is it like character arcs and
character growth and development?
Yeah, I feel like the concept of like a good and evil campaign
like because typically when I think evil, I think like.
I'm posting something to me if you guys agree.
What you think What? I think that the core difference
between what an evil campaign should be and a good campaign
should be should not be like the actual composition of like
belief of the players of the characters, but the but the the
characters are willing to cause significant harm to everybody
around to to achieve their goals.
Like, a good character would not do what Faust is about to do,
which is he's going to be forcibly changing the beliefs of
some very influential people to help spread his message.
Yeah, I agree that like how much harm are you willing to do?
Which? Like relates back to the ideal,
at least in my opinion. Which I guess is very selfish
because it does not consider. The other.
Person. Yeah, exactly.
So if we're defining selfishness that way, then yeah.
Yeah, OK, then Faust is 100% selfish in that like my goal
worth is bigger. Like it's not my fault you can't
see the big picture. It's not my.
Fault. It's your fault, really.
And I'm. Going to a terrorist, it's like
the definition of it, like. So.
Terrorist cells, right? I posted AI posted a graph up.
This is my understanding of how it works, where there's it's the
graph and there's evil, neutral, good, vertical order neutral
chaos on the top. Yeah, it's normally lawful
neutral chaos, but. Yeah, that's fair.
Same thing. Lawful order.
Is. What's the difference?
I mean, you can just look up like D&D.
Alignment matrix and you'll the like hundreds of versions this.
Is basically. Yeah, this is basically that.
OK. Because my understanding was
Maneopolis was for order and he represented the whole vertical
left bar, then micropolis neutral the entire middle bar
vertical bar, and the alleyopolis for chaos the entire
right vertical bar. There's no God that does that
does any of the horizontals. Except that.
You've got to consider, at least in some regard, that there is a
diagonal from good to. Like Josh said that Minneapolis.
Good to chaos from from from that diagonal because of the
fact that you know if you were. Yeah, there's a good chaos on
the bottom right. Yeah, what?
Right, right. I understand what you're saying.
But I'm, I'm, I'm insinuating rather I guess that, that you
have a, a diagonal from good to chaos, right?
And so anything above that line neutral.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, could lie inside of Manny
Polis's domain is more or less. Than Manny Polis's domain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because. Neutral.
No, he is not, but he has. Many, many is deception or
order. Right, he is deception and
order. But then he shouldn't be in the
chaos, evil chaos category. Anything that has to do with?
Order, order and evil 'cause then.
Right order and evil, that's what I was implied.
And then, yeah, Josh, you told me that the the A1, I forget the
names. I'm sorry.
I'm so bad at remembering words. Ilopoulos, you're good.
Ilopoulos is the good in chaos. But The thing is though, if you
have evil chaotic or good lawful, which ones are those?
Are they? Which God did they fall under?
Yeah, you have to. Cause like let the.
Absolute chaotic evil. Chaotic could fall under any 3,
right? Jesus.
Why so then the gut then? So then Minneapolis and
Micropolis and Alleyopolis are not connected to the God?
What do you call alignment chart at all?
They they they are. If they if they could be in any
3. Well, no.
So evil, if you're looking at your alignment chart, right, and
you had evil and you went across to chaos, that would be
Allopolis in your particular or duration of it, all right.
However, in my mind, they're coloring it across the board.
So like evil, obviously Manny Polis Chaos.
On the other side of the spectrum is Allopolis, right?
How I see it, these vertical bars Minneapolis own is order
evil, neutral good, Mycopolis is neutral evil, neutral good,
Alleyopolis is chaos evil, neutral good and like the the
top bar, order neutral chaos is the the signifier and then
that's the primary attribute and then the second and then the
other one is secondary. But to have a sort of balance
across all of those charge charts, you would have another
diagonal line that starts from good to chaos.
Why? Who would that be?
And anything that falls from that line above would be oh,
you've written anyways, would. Very confused.
Would fall in the realm of actually probably Manny Polis.
OK, so instead of vertical bars we should be cutting, they
should be diagonal bars. So.
So Manny Polis gets the top three on the top left, Eliopolis
gets the bottom 3 in an L shape on the bottom right, and then
the neutral God gets the three diagonals, the three in the
diagonal and. Nobody gets the neutral, lawful
or neutral. No, no.
OK, so I can't. Here I'm posting it OK that.
Yes, I see. No, no, no, wait, no, no.
You switched the colors, but yeah, you changed the colors.
But the. Yeah.
I agree. Oh Manny, Manny, Manny and
Allelopolises. Allelopolises have switched.
It's all. Yeah.
So green is Manny, pink is neutral on this one, and then
blue on this one is Allelopolis. There's a lawful good character,
it can be a fucking prick. And again I added.
I added. A little color chart.
Thank you. So, Josh, is this how you see
your world? And then L is Liberty, and the
the Liberty occupies that one slot.
Yep. Liberatri.
Good Neutral. Yep.
OK, so on this chart which who gets that little pop up in their
vision? What boxes?
Green and pink, right? No, because then they'd.
Be blue, blue and pink, blue and pink.
It's the pop up. Yes.
'Cause you could be wait so you could be evil chaos.
No. Oh yeah, this doesn't make
sense. You're talking about when you
said blue and pink, you're talking about good.
And the newest one. Yeah.
Wait, so I I guess I also don't. Understand, I don't see any evil
chaos that that overlaps. I don't.
I'm not following. It's evil.
Chaos. In the grid number three, yeah,
it's it's box #3. And that that ends up being
neutral. That makes sense actually in
some regard of things. So in that regard.
That's why I thought the vertical bar was.
Yeah, I think the vertical bars make more sense.
Because like for for our. Own nomenclature I agree, but
however in Ontario I I I I think the last one does relate the
most. Ezrim for that reason might get
a pop up to your. Point I don't you, but you can't
call an evil chaotic character a neutral character.
Like you need a different metric for this matrix because like you
can't fine neutral. Yeah, that's not how matrix
makes matrixes work. You know, you need like 1/3
quality because like the matrix is the the like it's a, it's a
tartan, it's a Plaid, right? And you can't take one of those
categories and apply it to something where the plaids don't
cross. So like an evil chaotic
character is evil. They're not neutral because they
are evil chaotic. These six are the ones that I
imagined would. Would get the pop up that's not
Yeah agreed. Hold.
On. Because I agreed but with the
vertical bars. Yeah.
It should be where is fuchsia.
So like Josh, if you wanted to have the diagonal bars in the
matrix, I think you can. You just can't call Alleyopolis
the God. Of.
Chaos. Like you can't assign good,
evil, neutral, order, chaotic neutral to the gods because they
they go on diagonals. So like you still can have
diagonals. Odd are those diagonals?
You can't assign them to One Direction of the matrix because
they're the diagonal direction. Like they can't be, they can't
go orthogonal in any way. It's like either the gods go
orthogonal and the bars go orthogonal, or the gods go
diagonal and the box will go diagonal.
What if? What?
What if instead of evil neutral good you use like altruistic?
Well, no. Something altruistic is
inherently good, and selfishness is inherently evil.
Yeah. Same kind of characteristics.
So like I'm I'm OK with either one of the vertical or diagonal
interpretations, I'm just not OK with using a matrix in the way
that it makes matrix doesn't work.
Do you get what I'm saying? Maybe either which way I know
that previously discussed when creating the Liberatri, neutral
and good would have access to the character sheets, whereas
evil denominations would not. Any sort of evil denomination.
So instead of vertical bars, are the gods actually horizontal
bars? Oh great, it's that all the good
characters are leveled so they have their Oh my God they have
access to their fucking DND beyond in character.
I just realized what's going on. OK.
There you go. Oh yeah, you missed it last week
when the system booted. Yeah.
So me, the wizard mat put a clause in the thing and the seed
so that when it sprouted everyone on the planet, not just
us. Every NPC gains access to the
experience levelling system, the ability to gain classes, their
character sheets, but only for good and neutral characters or
NPCS. People who are evil are not
given this, so it's intense. If they did the birthday party.
Yeah, slaves revolt, rise up against your masters, that sort
of thing. Again, what if they become evil?
Then they would lose access to the system.
So my vote, I think the bottom 2 rows get access to the system.
It's. Your own good.
Yeah, that makes the most sense to me in the way the world is
built and the intent behind giving.
I feel like the intent behind giving that power is to people
that you can, you're more likely to trust not to do harm.
And we defined that. Sorry.
Go ahead, finish. Oh, and just that we've defined
that evil equal selfishness equals willingness to do harm to
get what you want. So therefore bottom 2 bars.
I feel like the intent are those guys to get the the power.
So bottom 2 rows. So I think part of our problem
is we keep the with many, like the campaigns in Minneapolis and
the gods, like what they represent, we're interchanging
them, right? We're saying Minneapolis is the
God of order and evil at the same time, which puts him on
both sides of the the spectrum, right?
What do you mean both sides Grid.
Well, it just, it just puts him in one, one far extreme.
Yeah, well, no, it just puts him in the corner, not a bar, which
I'm OK with. Oh yeah, it's not tied.
These are odd. It's since it came from
libertry. Like it just emanates to all
squares that touch where libertry's at.
Right. Well, I'm just saying, like I
think the confusion we're getting into is our two things
that we're comparing on the grid are very closely aligned to each
other, like Emily is saying. Technically everything's the
same. I'm not going to say that.
Because. And also if.
Minneapolis. If Minneapolis is the God of
order, then he gets the whole. Then it's split into vertical
bars. Yeah, basically is we have to
decide, are the gods the vertical bars or are they
horizontal rows or are they just one single square?
Right. I think the side of the the side
of the grid wants to be intent, right?
Since it's so big in this. World and the top of the grid is
method. Yeah, Order, neutrality or
chaos? What is your intent?
Is your intent for Are you Sith or Jedi?
Yeah. And then the top order neutral
cast is how you go about it. Right.
So like Franklin, his intent is good, his method is chaos, so he
technically falls, I don't know, under 2 or.
Chaotic Good. Yeah.
I guess it's one. Which one is the?
Yeah, his.
His intent is good. Well, The thing is.
He's just going out and do a lot of.
But doesn't he do a lot of harm along the way, Doesn't he?
Hasn't he done a lot of damage and violence and harm?
Yes, yeah. But his I guess that that's the
question like. He's willing to do.
Those things which is like of putting himself above others.
Yeah, so maybe intent is the wrong way.
It's like. I definitely think the the top
is method. Method, but to me method like
chaos. The chaos method is me doing
literally anything to anyone in order to achieve my intent in
the order method. Maybe you know.
Well, you know, I think intent is the wrong way to put it
because people that are evil still may think they're doing
good. So.
So I I think intent is isn't specific enough.
I think that the ultimate like what good and evil boils down
to, in my opinion, is whether or not it is like being good isn't
enough. You also just can't like your
intent isn't enough. You can't 'cause like detriment
to. Another, yeah.
And like the scale of that detriment is what makes
something evil like you can be like in SO.
It's a scale. It's so if you do more good than
harm, you end up being good. I feel like that's not
necessary. It should be a part of the
metric I feel like. But like that's what part of the
reason that I don't like the the alignment system to begin with.
But. Yeah, I I get it.
I originally started trying to keep track of characters, good
action versus evil actions. And let me tell you, that was a
whole story. And 1/2.
Like there was if a. Means and methods, right?
If a man changes his entire interactions with a person in
order to get something out of them, but it also enriches their
life, is he selfish? Yeah, what is?
He. No.
Sure. I mean, it was.
A good neutral. Ego.
Yeah, I think we need to define it based on how much harm you do
and your impact to others. What if we considered this as
like the the columns means and methods?
Either way, Faust is 100% Lawful Evil, whatever metric you're
looking at it. It's like a terrorist is the
best example of lawful evil. They think they're doing good,
but they're doing so much harm to other people to get there.
I. Know better.
He's very much. Slash.
Definitive way to answer this question in my opinion.
Clarify it by that would be how much life one has stopped from
living from this planet could be technically perceived as evil.
So vegans are better 100%. Man, I mean they they were not
the cause of a lot of animals deaths right?
If I like, go to an orphanage, remove all the orphans from the
orphanage, burn it down and then piss on the ashes and then laugh
as I can make them as I kick them out and make them go
homeless or something to that effect.
Didn't cause any harm. I I didn't.
I didn't. No, you didn't.
Anybody didn't kill anybody though.
So it so no harm isn't just violence or death I.
Agree with you. It is all types of.
Harm We're sitting here arguing something that philosophers have
been arguing for. Yeah, in.
The beginning we. Just need to color code it in
the clock. Yeah, I'm, I'm getting hungry.
Yeah. All right.
Good games. Good games.
Hun. I.
Think all of our characters are sufficiently evil to be on the
evil team in a classical. Sense well.
The real question is, is when is?
No, I still think Avion's neutral.
When are we getting yeah, evil enough, evil enough.
Neutral gets to swing both ways. They're like cosmically
bisexual. And then there's Ezra.
Like his, his threshold for harm is much lower.
This. I wouldn't consider him evil,
but there is a threshold. Therefore he's neutral.
Doesn't actively seeking to do harm but he will absolutely like
rob a man of his free will to see his in skull but.
That's. Not happen, yeah.
Well, All in all, good session. At least we've determined some
things about ourselves, actually.
But after after all said and done, he'd stop doing it.
So it's more like he he needs a very good reason to harm that
person specifically. His he believes that his ideals
are bigger than anyone man and he will fucking do like.
Are you talking? Has to.
Are you talking Faust? Yes, Faust.
Oh, got it. OK, OK, so I was talking to.
Agnon, Yeah. Sorry, Yeah, yeah.
So like Agnon will do harm if he has, yeah, a based on his own
code, a reason to do it to that specific person.
We need a. Well, what I'm hearing is we
need a neutral campaign. We.
Do have. That's what I'm working on.
Technically neutral. Bring all your personal
character characters into the game for a neutral game.
Rick, by the majority of metrics of evil, Ezra is evil.
He's either. Selfish.
Selfish and just because he's like, not like, Oh yes, I'm
