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.
No, Craig, He has. He has come.
He has taken. 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, painting it with
legends. Legends wash up on the shores
throughout the Infinite Sea, fading to myth until myths are
forgotten. And again, the Hand of Fate
tosses the dice rolls, spins, turns.
Hitherto we left our adventurers known as the Shadow Seekers on
the second level of Hell Lust where they found themselves
after solving the next side of the Tridecahedron in a rush.
While a quickly quickly flooding chamber and soon to be
electrified chamber inside a Kai shen's prison which was heavenly
defended as he had said as well as they they were finding
evidence that he wasn't lying about it being a crashed astral
ship. They however the Shadow Seekers
had been had beat a handful of the guards to his prison and had
hoped to kill all of them to take the ship for themselves.
The water, the water dripping and evaporating quickly off of
their shoes as they poofed into the second level of hell from
that prison. As they stand before a a what
looks to be a desert Oasis Tavern with a sign that reads
Crusty Mummy with what with their torques locked in a lead
box as well. There is no sign of Manny Polis
explaining this new level. Shadow Seekers enter the Crusty
Mummy Tavern, order food from the barkeep, and meanwhile
Franklin jumps right into the center of into the center well
inside of the Tavern and Faust quickly follows him after
uncomfortable conversations with the the Crusty Mummy Barky.
There they there they meet the Frog King, who Franklin pays for
information and to not be attacked.
They learned about the Frog King being a ferryman to different
parts of the second level of Hell via the aqueducts that run
underneath of it. They require they're required to
give a favor for passage as well as 1000 gold specifically to get
to the Demon Queen's castle and another 1000 gold for safe
passage to the aqueducts. And they would waive the second
favor that was intended for the Queen because they have means
potentially to break the seal on this level.
Up above, the rest of the gang are talking to the crusty mummy
who confirms this and Franklin's promises a a favor to the frog
king of a bunch. Yeah, you were, you were talking
about a bunch of larvae that you would would be willing to part
with us the favor and they seemed amicable to that.
Got a bunch and they. 'D learned about the seal being
inside where the Demon Queen sits on Click Cliff Castle,
although the second ask was if they weren't going to give them
larva and the gold. The there's a relic in the ruins
in the desert that they'd be willing to take in exchange for
passage to the Demon Queen. Let's find out what happens this
time. Oh yeah, and just as a reminder,
everything smells prominently of Axe Body Spray in this level for
some reason. So much angst.
For some reason I don't know why.
Josh when he was a teenager. Forget where I heard the
description of hell smelling like it, like X body spray and
I'm like, you know what that fits.
So just to throw it out there, if anyone had any questions from
the end of the last one where we were in the tower before we
teleport back to Earth, we could do that.
Otherwise we just, I assume, wake up the next day.
So where we left this one too specifically before you guys
because you didn't really lay down either, just kind of we
didn't play any of that out. You just guys kind of took the
crystal. So if you want to tell me how
how you would even intend to potentially sleep in your
location, Although it may have been discussed and I may have
missed that, unless if somebody remembers differently.
I assume most of us would be sleeping in the pocket rocket in
our various sleeping arrangements, right?
Oh. You know what, there was
something about these goblins too that are on the map.
It's been so long ago. Should've I only got so far in
re listening to the episode? There.
Oh no, the goblins. The they were the ones that
lived in the pocket rocket and some of them were allowed to go
shopping before we left and did something.
Yeah, that's that's what it was. So maybe you guys would have had
goblins guard the pocket rocket while you went to sleep inside
of it? Yeah, I also get all of the ones
who are allowed to leave. I want their names and start
looking into them. Looking into them like.
Trust them. No, they could be spies.
This is an opportunity for them to drop information off.
Well, eventually I'm going to go into their dreams and see what's
going on. Worried about that?
Perhaps we shouldn't have invited them in.
I mean, I'm not worried about it, I just feel it's safe to
have an abundance of caution. Anyway, we.
Should kill them all. I mean eventually.
We need. Service.
We do need service. Yes, we need to have stuff
built. I show a card with a text
message on it that says hey we are moving on the tower slash
level 1 entry going to drop holy water.
Watch out, we need somebody to build raincoats for us.
Because it's going to rain. Yeah.
Else just I need to get in the roll 20.
Mama's going to look over and be like, I don't know about you
guys, but like, holy water won't hurt me.
Is that normal? Shame.
Totally. I mean they could poison.
It it will hurt me like a lot. Is there anybody else we have to
worry about? Maybe our dog friend who's not
here right now, Ezra, maybe. On him whenever he returns.
Yeah, out. It's as long.
As possible between now and then.
Yeah. But anyway, so we had originally
planned of going through the desert.
Show them the text message again.
Sounds like there's some forces on the other side that are
attempting to close the door or control it.
We should probably pay the gold and give the larvae up so that
we could get to the next location versus trudging across
the desert for multiple weeks. He also wanted a favor, if you
might recall something from the ruins.
That was if we didn't give him the gold and the larva.
I'm not quite sure that's accurate.
I believe it was an addition. To oh, was it?
I don't know, I was listening to God, but he started to think, he
said as another option. I look up at the ceiling
expectantly. Likely yes, that's fine.
Like it is possible. I must remember from a month
ago. That's true.
I mean, let's just like listen to the colors of the weather,
see what they say. Hats off.
Josh yeah, I did listen to a good portion of the the the last
time that we'd played like is it to remind myself, But I didn't
get towards the end, which is why I don't remember the goblin
so much. But I do remember the fact that
it was something you threw out there, but you would remembered
you'd you just at that time like released 1000 of them.
So you would like it might take a little while to get up enough
if you so you weren't you were kind of hesitant on on promised.
They said that the they did say that that the favor was usually
something that like you can't monetize because it's like, like
just you know, like a favor for a friend kind of deal.
Shit. OK.
OK, so we gotta go into the desert.
All right. We need to make sure we're
prepared. You guys make sure you pack
enough water touchscreen. For your reference, I guess
Bildrith would have been like, yeah, if we're just sending them
out for shopping and it's kind of like menial work, I'm not
going to use any of the heavy hitters here.
You can use Griz, Gog, Flick Needle and Boogle Thump.
Use them for what? That was the instance where they
would you, you said you had them out of the pocket rocket to kind
of guard it slash do any shopping that they needed.
Oh yeah, I mean that that's up the bill dress.
He he, that's how he controls his guys.
That's what I was just explaining.
I kind of had to role play it out.
Got it, you. Were asking you were also asking
those names so. Oh, got it.
I do remember that now. From from.
Like. Where's Needle?
1. Turn to the others.
What do you guys think if? We're going to track across the
desert. We need some basic.
Supply or go get the thing. The thing?
Go get the thing. We have the option to either
walk all the way across the desert to our destination versus
using the frogs aqueduct prolly system or we go to a local
dungeon to get the frog an. Item.
The frog was real expensive, which was why we didn't want to
use it. Are you paying for that,
Franklin? Can't we just give them one of
your ribs or something? And doesn't that count as an
artifact? You're not using it.
We would have to go get the artifact as one of the favors,
right? And then it was like 1000 gold
was for the second favor, 2 favors.
I don't have money. I don't think we've ever gotten
money in this game. We have.
We've gotten some money. But if we're trekking out into
the desert, do you do you remember how much he asked for?
2000 total, 1000 for the for for the the the like service fee and
then 1000 to get to the the castle.
But then that doesn't include us going to get him an artifact in
the desert. Correct.
So either 2000 gold right now we leave and go to the castle where
the seal is, or 1000 and we go get him an artifact.
No, the 2000 was like non negotiable.
Basically the the the artifact was the the the like the part of
whether or not it was going to be an artifact or the larvae.
So 2000 plus favor. Right.
Yeah. So we need both of these things.
We need both of the things. All right, I'm going to go up to
the bar and I'll be like, we need some water and sunscreen,
please. Well, you could see that I don't
carry any sunscreen unless you're looking for an umbrella.
I got a couple of those in the back somewhere, but.
Need an umbrella? You guys just came out of that
rock there. Why don't you just go back in
there and have the other guys carry you?
That's less fun, Sir. We all.
Want to have to leave at the burning?
Heat. OK, well to each their own I
guess. You know, whatever gets your
rocks off. But well, I could whip up a
sunscreen I guess, if you give me a minute or. 2.
No, just the water will do. OK, Hey, how much are we talking
here though? What's the biggest container of
water you have? That I have that I could spare.
Yes. Oh, I can probably spare like a
barrel. Do you have any traveling
containers? I mean, we can't travel with a
barrel. Oh.
Well, yeah, with Chad. We can.
We have a house. I suppose this is true, yes.
How much is the barrel? A barrel of water in the desert.
His eyes just get real big. Hey, actually that's a good
question. We have water in the pocket,
Rocket. What if we offered some of our
water? I thought that water I kind of
like whisper down so that the bartender doesn't hear me.
I thought that water was getting really cruddy and gross.
Yes, well, we replaced some of it.
I mean, yeah, you're right. We need more water.
Yeah. So how much for the barrel of
water it's? Going to be some.
Crazy amount isn't. It and I like to be reasonable.
If you, if you're OK with accepting it on your knees, I'll
give it to you for 50 gold, 50 gold.
It usually goes for 100. So that's a 50% discount.
What if I ask you to get on your knees and give me the water?
Oh, I don't, I mean, OK. And then he just kind of grins
like he's got like you can, you can see most of his bones poking
out, not like physically poking out, but like pushing up against
his his skin. But as well as the wraps that
he's got on over some of the most of the areas and he kind of
bends down. You can hear some bones
cracking. And All in all, it sounds too
like he's very raspy and dry and he rolls a barrel out from under
the bar over to you. And then while he's rolling it
out in front of you, he just like looks you in the eye and
then just stares while staring you in the eye.
It's down on both knees and it's like, here you go, please.
I pull 50 gold out of my pocket and I walk over to him and I
very slightly just run it like down his forehead and his nose
and then pull up his hand and just like place it gently into
his hand and close his fingers around it.
And I'm like, thank you. I roll the barrel over to our my
companions. Thanks, come again.
He seems to be laughing at his own joke, because you, you when
you'd finished rubbing the rubbing it on his head down into
his hand that you you hear it. The ever so softest sound of a
that didn't come through like a like a dusty sigh from his
nether regions. Orga, He's shooting dusty blanks
in the desert. At this point to as you're
rolling the barrel over to your companions from the side of the
well, you hear a squelch. Everyone hears a sculching sound
I would say. And then with a wet splat, the
frog king lands on the bar floor, says.
Hello. I was looking for you and he's
looking at Franklin. Fuck dude, how'd you climb that
way? He just holds up his hands, like
almost in a gesture of, I don't know, but also holding his hands
out, like showing you that he's got, you know, the ability to
frog climb. That, that makes a lot of sense.
That's cool ability, man What's up?
You'd wanted a plant. Yeah, I did.
We're try to. We do think it's a biodiversity
at our house. Yeah, I think I got the seeds
you wanted. I just took me a little bit to
harvest them. Cool.
That's great. I appreciate it.
Or did you guys want to take me up?
Out of. That travel offer, too.
I just wanted to get the crew ready, yeah.
We gotta go get your thing from the desert.
Oh, an artifact? OK, a relic I guess is what I
said. Right.
They don't have the we don't have the leeches.
Yeah, that was the only other option.
Yes. Well, the seeds weren't free
either. He looks at you.
You had some gems that you gave me before.
Actually I think he would ask for them in exchange for the
gems, but. So I did you know I paid you.
I'm already here. Here you go.
Hey, thanks God. For convenience sake, here you
go. Yeah, I take them.
Got to remember I'm not on the level of greed anymore.
That's true. Got to switch.
Gears as you as you take them, you feel the suction cups of his
hand like latch onto your arm and and his long tongue like
search down to to to to your palm.
Make sure that he counts out each seed into it.
With his tongue. Yeah, that's fun.
Did you know that all of my skin is made out of bugs and they're
all pouring their butt holes at you?
Oh. No.
What if he eats you? Yeah, you see his eyes, his eyes
just get real big. And his tongue that had been
waving back and forth pauses for a second.
And he. I don't.
Know if that makes it better or worse?
He's like you. You want me?
I will not eat you. You were a friend.
Yep, until he's like controlling himself.
I roll the barrel over and I'm like, that's right.
You just be glad that I must practice my decorum like being
the frog king. But anyways.
You should just be glad by Fred Ezra's not playing today.
He wants frog legs. He does.
I'm going to buy a magical muzzle for that.
That wouldn't be good. I bet we could find one on this
level. We could probably we have
hirelings, we could build 1. I doubt the goblins can make
something that can hold that. For a panic.
Maybe. Just a magic shot caller.
Just no. ZAP, ZAP.
I'm just saying, I'm just saying one of the fifth level spells.
I just took his geos just for him.
That's excellent. No bad dog. 5D10 psychic damage.
That is perfect for him. That just made me think of
Inuyasha on that damn necklace. That's right, I forget about
that. It's so thick.
We're headed to the desert. Yeah, I was just going to say
one thing to one of the most likely sources of one of these
relics that you could find is probably going to be the closest
one in the North northeasterly direction I believe.
How far away? I don't, I don't know.
I don't. I don't usually travel above
ground. Can you progress there
underground? For a fee.
This is to get you your thing. So it could be it's an
indeterminate distance away somewhere, and I gesture
generally northward out there. Yep.
Look at Faust. You're a voice of reason.
It would be much quicker if we could utilize your services in
order to garner the object that we require to utilize your
services. So, so while all this is
happening on Mama is just going to start like pulling out items,
just like all the random stuff in my backpack, right?
Just going to like pull out the spaghetti sauce I have and look
at it and put it back. Pull out 10 lbs of copper cable
and put it back. And just while they're talking,
I'm just going to like the squirrel with the top hat, just
going to pull them out and like hold them in front of me and
just sort of like look at them and see if any of them catch the
frog King's attention. I don't know if they do or not.
I'm just doing this in the background the whole time.
Also, we have money. I have 50 platinum and 133 gold.
I don't know where or why I got those, but I have them.
I know we had the Money Box at one point, but somebody emptied
that. Yeah, that was that was Warren
Gold around and he could find it.
But what you have on your person, mommy, is at least the
the the money portion, I know for a fact is from the one of
the chests of desire might find in your searches here.
But what was I going to say now? Oh, I was trying to remember all
those things that you said. That's what I was trying to do.
Pull out two. Five to 10 LB spider legs that I
pulled off that spider statue pull out a whistle that summons
Nobunaga shadow puppies. That.
Whistle comes out. Of your bag and he's probably
his eyes are light, but he doesn't say anything.
He he kind of stops twitching and looks at you hard though his
eyes, you know, because they're frog eyes just like rotate and
stare at it while you have that out.
Yeah, I'm going to pull out a a bottle of drinking great alcohol
and a water skin of grain alcohol.
And I'm going to pull out a couple small bells that sound
like glass and ring them a little bit.
Be like one of those pretty people, like every second, just
like ring this little bell and pull out the silk stone, all
kinds of random shit. Oh yeah, the squirrel with the
top hat copper cable. It himself if he ever sees that.
Sees what? A.
Squirrel with the top hat. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
You want to roll me a persuasion by the way, Faust?
I certainly can try. Not his strong suit, but.
Wait, what are we persuading him for?
13. OK.
Strong suit, Faust. My strong suit is thinking, not
speaking. So that's why you're just
standing there most of the time thinking, are you a wizard?
Yes, yes. It the persuasion was to answer
your question, Ash was for a quick journey through the area
that is a relic where the relics are hidden potentially.
So you know a way to these ruins where the relic are and you want
us to retrieve it for you, but you won't take us there.
I. Want to roll an inside check?
I'll take you there for a fee. Yeah, he'll take us to the place
where he wants us to go to retrieve something for him.
It kind of sounds like a trap. No, I don't believe so.
He is just a shrewd businessman residing in hell.
Yeah, but I mean like if he could talk us into paying him to
take him to some ruins to retrieve the thing that he wants
so that he will then also transport us to the clit castle.
Right, it's all, it's all just surcharge.
Them to a trap. So 22 on my insight check.
With your insight check, check, you know for sure that he's
probably overcharging you, but there's not much you can do
because there's the only means. It's like, it's like coming to a
toll road. It's like, what do you do?
Turn around? Huh.
What? I'm I'm going to go backwards on
the highway. Yeah, the other option was
trudge weeks through the desert. What is?
Or we kill him, turn his body into a little ship and we go
through the aqueducts. What about his men?
Won't they come after us? We'd have to kill all them too,
but that was our plan on the last floor and then we had to
run away, so maybe we don't go with that one.
What is? The.
Well, so how are we having this conversation?
We don't have the things anymore.
We're all standing right here. Yeah, so was he.
Why don't we kill him? Would.
You like to be killed, Sir King. I know you're.
We're. Huddled.
We're huddled. Why you guys?
Are as they're talking, you can just tell that he's zoned out
and he's like watching a fly zoom around the the space and
then he as you as you would say that he just licks it out of
there like. What is the name of this place,
Sir? You mean the bar?
The ruins we seek to go to. Oh.
They used to have a name, but they don't have a name anymore.
That's not very helpful. Yeah, it's a giant pyramid.
That helps here to describe it for indeed it's great detail
details you can. Do you know what a pyramid is?
It's. Just a pyramid that I can
surmise. Yeah, I would like to cast
Legend lore. Oh, I don't know what that is.
Oh. You fancy bitch.
We're sitting here arguing. We don't even know how far away
it is. I'm hoping I'll learn how far
away it is. Yeah, I mean.
So we can just go. Yeah.
I mean, what's the fee? Because I'm I'm.
Like if we know where it is, we could fly, she could probably we
we have. Options.
The first fee too, because she has 7000 gold in her pocket.
Jesus, I don't know that though. Baus is a broke bitch.
Mom, my ash is a bankroll, always has been.
Yeah, I'm good at the Wheeling and the dealing and the getting
of the money. What is Legend lore doing I.
Just did I look it up for you? All right, let me find it right
here. I.
Was just it's fucking awesome, all right, It's basically DM
tell me more. Yeah, it is a spell where I
learned the name. If I say the name of or describe
a place or person that has like lore surrounding it, I just
learned stuff about it. So I looked it up and it says
name or describe a person, place, or object.
The spell brings to your mind a brief summary of a of the
significant lore about the thing you name.
The lore must consist of current tales, forgotten stories, or
even secret lore that has never been widely known.
Oh. You Beautiful soul, you took in
creation gathering spells. Isn't of legendary importance.
You game, you gain no information.
If it isn't of legendary importance, I don't learn shit.
All right, there it is. Found it in my spell list.
OK, what's your verbal and semantic
for this? I imagine it's I'd.
I imagine that the semantic is I is there also the result?
The verbal is also the result. Like I just spew out information
about it if possible. The semantic.
I never really think about this stuff.
Is it the hand wave you're the more you know?
I Faust pops a bottle out of his belt, pops the cork and takes a
huge huff of it. That's the semantic.
As shit dog fist. Oh my God.
As you as as the inhale fully starts to burn in your lungs and
your eyes glaze over, you start to spout off a whole tale about
how there was many Lords inside of this particular set of subset
of hell. And they had their.
They built these pyramids as not only labyrinths to hide their
treasures from the other Lords, but also to seduce people to
come in and try and get into these labyrinths to steal the
treasure and hopefully die in killing their foes.
And this. Yay.
Oh my God, yay, it's a proper dungeon.
Pretty much short and sweet because it's a dungeon within a
dungeon right but and and you know for a fact that the there
there are somewhere in the the realm of 16 different ones
throughout the desert and as well as that there is probably
one that is the closest to you, which is less than a day's mark
St. March away.
Those are probably pertinent facts that you're.
I'm going to rest in the pocket rocket and get that spell back.
There's a lot of info. Do you happen to know what kind
of like monsters might be there? Or what these creatures were
like? What there was their race?
Can I do an intelligence check so I can sarcastically say
mummies? History check, mommies.
Sure. No.
I want it to be accurate though, so.
Yeah. Would I have gotten that?
You probably the last little I was coming up with all this on
the spot, like off the top of my head.
So honestly though, I'm going to build off of what you said and
say that you know too that probably likely there are
various undead left in these now catacombs of labyrinths as they
were. After all, after all of the
different Lords died and left only one the Demon Queen, she
had buried them in their in in in their labyrinths and rose
them to guard them for everlasting fuck.
Yeah, Oh, we got this guys. Undead, undead.
We have this easy. I pull out a I'll call everyone
to huddle and I'll pull out a bottle.
This Griselda's blood. You drink some of this, you
become temporarily undead. We just.
Walk in, go get it. It's just temporary for sure.
Assuming that they're not intelligent undead and have no
means of recognizing us, it's not their own.
It's true, it's a total gamble, but you know, it's up our
sleeves. I don't think if we need it,
crew. That turns me temporarily undead
to be only temporary. Mama is going to make the most
disgusted face and be like blood.
You want me to drink blood? Get fucked.
You know you don't like blood sausages.
Steak has blood in it. No, thank you.
OK well you know it is an option if anyone gets like, you know,
stuck. It has been tested.
It turns you undead, but if you bite someone else while you're
temporarily undead, they become full time undead.
It's. Pretty useful.
I'm only moderately annoyed because I just learned cloud
kill Not going to be very useful here up.
Up in the way I. Suppose because undead tend to
not respond well to poisonous gases.
Oh, is there a view to it? That's fine, I write that down.
Didn't know that. Anyone else got anything
specifically against stud dead? Like combat wise.
Uh huh, I'm tactically a cleric. I believe Ezra is quite adept at
eating them. What happens if you eat a zombie
that can infect you? It's a good question and I feel
like as soon as we get to there, we're going to find out with
Ezra. The The thing is, I'm wondering
this is the level of lust. Are these all horny undead?
But. They no, but they do want to
bone you. That's good.
All right, We have our water. I see.
We go into the desert, wait, did we want to pay for
transportation? It's less than a day's walk,
unless you want to pay Mom or Ash.
We may have to run into something out there.
Otherwise, how much is it for him?
Yeah. To the ruins.
How much what? How much was the fee to get
transported to the ruins by the Frog King and his men?
Oh, you guys never asked. Oh, I will turn to him and ask
how much for your transportation, good Sir, to
these ruins with the artifact you require.
Since you're already doing the favor, or rather, getting the
favor regardless, that's not part of this particular fee
we're getting to the ruins. I could get you directly there
for. He stares off for a second.
He stares back at you, kind of narrows his eyes.
Says 5. 100. Gold.
I kind of like cross my arms and I kind of am looking at him and
then I look around the room and I look back and I'm like, how
about 150 gold? He just leans back and the
lowest I could go was 450. Oh, I think you can do better
than that. What about 175?
You want to roll? Had you ever created like any
besides the persuasion that are relative to this?
I don't know if you'd come up with like a bar bartering or
like a a dickering or or what. Have you?
I hadn't. We just stuck with like
persuasion and deception. Yeah, yeah, I I think persuasion
is still fair. If you wanted to try and create
one for yourself, I would. I would definitely add one point
to that. Whatever the role is, though, if
you did create one, now you got you do it a lot.
I do. I do do a lot.
I've heard very obvious reasons. Let's go back to him in the
right place. What would we call the scale?
Haggling. Yeah, haggling would probably be
more. Part of the deal.
Yeah, I kept, I kept thinking dickering just because funny.
Yeah. Oh, here we go.
I need to roll his wisdom. Yeah, he's like drive a hard
bargain, but I could do 200. I just like, let a little
chuckle myself and I reach out to shake his hand and I was
like, it's a pleasure doing business with you, Your
Highness. And he just.
Frog King, right? Yeah, he just, he, he takes your
hand and his and you feel the suctions, suction cups of his
hand and he he bows and says the lady, if you ever need you know
who to call. I will keep you in mind and I'm
like, all right, load up our barrel.
Let's go. The goblins, I'm assuming.
Yes. OK.
Yeah, we should do sometime create some sort of flying
device for the pocket rocket. That way we could be inside and
it flies around. Like without anybody else
outside of it. I mean, it could be steered by
like Bob or like the this, like my familiar very small person.
Yeah, didn't we put it on the back of a cricket one time?
Yeah, it used to. My, my guys used to carry them
around a little bit. But if I'm not here, you're kind
of screwed. Yeah.
So if I'm not here and I'm carrying it and you guys are
inside, what happens? They cease to exist.
I think we've done that before, actually at one point.
And you just can't leave the pocket rocket.
Well, because of the reality. You disappear and the pocket
rocket just thumps to the floor. Exactly.
One of us just picks it up and we're like, why did we drop
that? Carry on all.
Right, let's get this dungeon. Does anyone have any special
dungeoneering skills? I have an axe, great skill, big.
I'm going to be really spell list while we're going to this
place, I'm going to sit in the pocket rocking and long rest
rework my skill. I don't know if it's possible to
do a long rest, but it's really short rest.
Redo my skills spell. List, as I was going to say,
it's probably a short rest, but definitely not a long rest.
The other one might have been a long rest if we went over the
desert. Yeah, definitely would have been
the Frog King, kind of. Well, I guess you guys don't see
because you all boop into the Pocket Rocket and the goblin
holding holding the pocket rocket just kind of follows the
Frog King. You want to tell me what you
guys are doing inside the Pocket Rocket?
I can I can put the bookmark over there if you need.
Chilling hand off the seeds to get planted in the biosphere and
I'm gonna place an order with bildress for a fully sealed
vacuum suit of some sort. I don't know what I'm gonna get,
his voice code. I don't.
I don't know what you mean lad. Like a salt, like a sealed suit,
like a like a like a swimming suit, but all one material and
no way to breathe or let water end.
No breathing required. None required, but it's still
something that I'm not familiar with.
I don't know, like perhaps you could Draw Something up for me.
I really what you're describing to me off two different things.
I'm picturing like some swim trunks with a snorkel right now.
How's that sealed dude? How are you going to breathe,
dude? I I don't breathe, dude.
No breathing required. OK, well.
He just scratches his head and he he's like, I'm, I'm still
only picturing a pair of swim trunks.
Then that doesn't really hurt his situation.
What are you? What are you looking for?
I will doodle something for him in a sense I I mean I I or I he
has adamantine, which I don't know if anyone knows, but I had
requested that he start building us some each.
Like I said of adamantine harbor to your specifications, since
everyone could use Agaria a a size up if they don't have any
special armor, just like gosh, essentially like an astronaut
outfit but made for but like medieval like medieval we.
May as gonna unhelpfully offer out.
We could just put you in a barrel.
I mean, honestly, kind of like a barrel, right?
But like I need to be able to walk and talk and stuff.
Why? All right, I'm just a fish in a
barrel. My enemies could kill me easily.
So we're just struggling to find or describe to this guy what,
what, what you need. Yeah.
I'm not really convinced he's going to be able to make it.
Yeah, what about a riding suit? That just where we can, you
know, you know, like cinch in the wrists, the ankles, the
neck. What are you?
Trying to protect yourself from again.
Holy water. Apparently there's going to be a
lot of holy water dumped on the next floor that we're trying to
get to. Does a big spell with me.
Yeah, you might just have to like peace out in the pocket
rocket for a second until the holy water dissipates.
Yeah, that's, I mean, otherwise that's why I'm trying to like
think ahead and make like a little like a scuba suit
essentially. Didn't there be like a spell or
like repel water spell or something somebody can cast on
you? Does this sounds like a job for
magic to me. It does, but I don't know of any
magic. I turned a Faust.
Do you know any magic that like repels water?
Why do you need to repel water? Holy water, it's real bad for
me. I kind of gesture.
I have obviously a skeleton monster.
I'm trying to think and I can't think of nothing.
Apparently they have a holy water hand cannons now up top.
Duh. That sounds like a very quick
way for me to die. I'm just not here for it.
Yeah, it does. Could in case you in an
invulnerable sphere, but it would take my entire
concentration. Right.
That's why I'm thinking like a mechanical me.
It's like a suit of Arbor that's just like sealed.
Take a like a you guys have condoms, like a human condom.
Skin things. Yeah, like that, but a human
sized one I've never quite Oh, no experience.
This in her pocket. She starts rummaging around.
We just killed the sheep last week.
Very supple. I assume there's like magical
means that are way better than literally having sex with like a
sheep intestine. Like this is a world of magic.
Yeah. Contraception should have been
like, you know #1. Did you, did you read the, the
book? There's there's a book in the
pinned general chat. That's not even me doing a
voice. That was just it's, it's how to
have sex. So.
Oh. Well, you sat at the table too,
so Franklin would know about this I guess.
That's true. Third hand.
Second hand. Yeah.
Anyway, I describe essentially a scuba suit, right?
Or like an astronaut suit, but like a like a heavy armor, like
almost in a Mecca sort of thing. It's like you just continue.
You continue to describe to him like you're talking.
He's the the armor of the last place, isn't he?
Yeah, yeah. But he's still he when you, when
you're describing, he still doesn't seem to get it, 'cause
he's like, I could do a full set of armor for you, but like, what
are you? What are you?
Yeah full set of armor but the like the connecting pieces, the
under leg stuff make it waterproof.
Oh, that'll be difficult. Yeah, that's why I'm talking to
you. Slap his shoulder.
Well, the value is appreciated, but I'm still I still make might
take me some time. Sure.
We have a limited amount of time.
I believe in you. Turn to yours.
I wasted enough time about that. Let's go.
OK. Anyone else what they're doing
inside the pocket rocket? I know I'll.
Just be playing with my baby, entertaining it while in the
pocket rocket. God damn it, right?
I have this baby. I have to entertain it for a
while. No, I'm just, I'm just jazzing.
That's essentially how she's treating it, Like, Yep, remember
I have a baby. Runs over to it.
Oh yeah, baby, you're so cute. And then like, oh, we're off
adventuring again. Hand it back to the cricket
nanny run away remark. I'm kidding.
Give him a little kiss on the head.
He's also a changeling and he's been hanging out with werewolves
and cricket, so he's probably just turning back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth. Yeah, he's going to say 11 head
right now is probably like a dire cricket head.
And while you're even while you're playing with it, it's
like gnawing on your hair. And the the other one is is
looking up at you and says its first word for the first time
and says to you he. Says Dada.
Yeah. I'm like, oh honey, he's gone
and I give him a little kiss on the head.
But don't worry, I'll find you a new one.
It just keeps saying. It keeps cutting out every time
you say. It Oh yeah, because I keep
probably going higher pitch because yeah, Dada it just keeps
saying saying that. Just being said in just a flat
man voices. Dada pick me up, I want uppies.
That's brilliant. Oh my goodness, my baby sounds
like that. Oh, I've got a Boo Boo.
Da da, I went boom boom. Oh yes, you did.
Let's change your diaper. Well, the baby would be.
Pants. How old would this baby be now?
I don't know. When did that happen?
It happened in the first year, so I want to say this baby would
be at least two years old. Was it the well, it's the first
year that you got pregnant so that.
Yeah. And then and then I because of.
You're being a changeling. You were able to hide it very
easily, which was cool. But then when you had the baby
wasn't until you guys got to the fifth level, which was like 2
levels from when you would actually gotten gotten pregnant
because you guys went to the third level and then the fifth
level. And I want, I want to say it was
like 2023-2024. It had to have been 2023.
The end of 2023, I want to say is when, when you actually like
real time. Ash gave birth our time so it's
got to be like a year old or more now going on too probably.
OK. Yeah.
So doing some good growing. Yeah.
Starting to get to an adventurer's age?
Oh yeah, past the age of. 1. Maybe Johnny's the next
character, A1 year old with a rifle.
A1 year old with a Oh my God that sounds terrifying and also
hilarious. I'm not.
Visiting Franklin, going through his Big Brother arc like at the
fucking TV show. This is how you play someone's
skin off. How about mommy?
Is mommy doing anything with their time?
Inside the pocket rocket. No, Mommy might be sitting in
the corner just like sharpening, sharpening their axe, maybe
doing some resting, some general just like waiting.
Mommy just wants to like go smash things.
Just kind of kind of sitting there waiting.
OK, and I know I know Faust already too said that they were
probably sitting there meditating.
So you guys see one of the one of the three?
No, that's one of the three goblins that were, you know,
outside of the pocket rocket, probably.
I was just trying to remember all their names.
I just came up with those. What happens when you come up
with stuff like on the spot and trying to?
Remember it? Fuck, am I now Gildreth?
Gildreth. Something like that goblin.
The goblin? What the fuck?
Hello, my name is goblin #1. Yeah, is is I was trying.
To remember. Flick needle.
Flick Needle comes back in and he's like, we're here, I think.
Fuck bro, that was I. Mean he's like twitchy and he
every now and again he just like he like breathes in real deep
and like his his head twitches to the side.
OK, Good job. Well, guy.
Assume you guys all leave the pocket rocket.
Yeah, they stare behind him, totally weirded out by that guy.
I will withhold my laughter at the irony.
You see that guy? Jeez.
And as you're looking at him too, you see like over your
shoulder, you see Bildrith come up to him and he's like Flick
Needle, just who I needed for the suit that Franklin asked me
for. He like flinches back when
Bildrith walks up and he's like. OK, cool beans, take my head and
continue on. So you guys turn into purple
smoke with the fun geometric pattern, silvery geometric
patterns in them outside of the poker rocket and find
yourselves, well, Frank Franklin probably is closest to the poker
rocket itself. But on on the just outside of
where we start, you find yourselves in a room that is the
Frog King is sitting in the pool of the room with a statue behind
him that seems to be reading a book.
And there are pillars to either side of the pool that he is
sitting like kind of back stroking in lazily.
He's like, yeah, yeah, cool. I guess that means we made it.
I'm out. And he just dives back into the
pool and disappears. But you guys find yourselves in
a stone room with what looks like to be somehow manicured
plants and statues with a bit of sunlight trickling in from
above. Just the ever smallest stream of
it and a yeah, a watery pool in the center of it.
So remembering how precious water is and how expensive it
was, mommy's going to go over and like inspect the water and
see if it seems like it's good for drinking.
It seems to be clear as day. You can see for as you look down
into it too, you can see the rear end of the Frog King
briskly swimming away at an unknown depth, because even even
you know that the water diskews how deep something is.
But you're real taken with this tookus and you're not sure if
it's the odd X body spray smell that still lingers in the air
somehow, or just this level of hell.
So mommy's going to look around at everybody and be like, should
we collect some water? Are we happy with our water
supply? We could collect this back where
we were. The water supply is only
important if we have to trudge through the desert for weeks.
What you're realizing now, the Frog King give you no way to
communicate with him. Yeah, we're have to walk back.
It's only about a day, though. We have a barrel.
Should be all right. No, I don't drink.
So you guys do whatever you want.
While they sort out the water, I'm going to find any obvious
entrance to the place we're going and.
While you're send, you're familiar down.
I'll send mine with and then it will assist yours.
I don't know what you mean though.
Where where are you sending it? I guess you talking about like
any obvious routes that you find.
OK. I don't know if you're talking
to me out there, I'm distracted as mother fucker right now,
sorry. Yes, I was.
I was directing. That yeah, I didn't hear what
you asked. Sorry, where were you sending
your? If there was an absolutely we
got dropped off in this interior structure, I'm imagine there's
like a doorway or something for us to continue on with.
So as you're kind of taking in your surroundings, you realize
there are 4 doorways all all surrounding or on each wall of
of the room that you're in. Excellent.
I guess I could probably, let's see here.
Yeah, I guess I could probably look at the map, huh?
And not just at my roll 20 page, my roll 20 page my DB.
Beyond. Yeah, my beyond page.
Oh, right. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it would help. Significantly, I'm seeing a lot
more than I usually get to see. Oh, it's probably because I
didn't turn on the stupid. The dynamic lighting.
There we go. Yeah, everyone take screenshots.
Don't worry about all that. If that's the case, so it looks
like the dynamic Oh never mind, just had to move, sorry, ignore
me. I'm going to attempt to cast
Detect Magic if I have it prepared.
Did I prepare it? I should have prepared.
I thought I prepared. There it is.
Oh God, it'll reach. 31. It'll give us an idea of what
direction a magic artifact might be in.
I just want to see. One foot of stone.
One foot. Only it's blocked by 1 foot of
stone. OK.
Well, these some thick walls. Yeah, I was about to say like.
Well, it lasts 10 minutes, which is a dog's age and adventuring,
so. True, you're not.
You're not seeing too much in the room that you're in
currently. The plants have the ever so a
slight aura of like protection and as you're kind of like
staring at them, probably just beyond the usual glance that you
might spare a plant, you realize that they're pulling moist any
moisture from the air with whatever incantation they have
to that that's on them to to continue to be alive.
That's how they're sick, existing.
I'm sorry, what did I walk into? Plants.
That suck out moisture. Plants that live in pots that
don't have anybody watering them because they're inside of a
undead temple, that are using magics that are on the pots to
pull moisture out of the air. We need the pots.
Take them all. Yeah, put them in the pocket
rocket and then we can put. I mean, I'm waiting for Faust to
do his thing. Oh.
'Cause he he saw, he sees all this, I assume the rest of us
also light up. Yeah, That, that that was going
without saying, Yeah. The plants are magical if you
have any interest. We just RIP them out of these
pots then or. I believe the pots might be
important. Oh, anyone have the ability to
look for traps? I don't sense anything magical
if it, but I am not accustomed to see searching for them.
Ash, you want to go to the traps.
To look for traps. These tools.
I don't actually know if I took these tools, but I'm looking.
I've got a good investigation. I kind of feel like I have a
character with too much going on.
All of my characters, always. Yeah.
I do have thieves tools that I am proficient in
so I'm going to look for traps. OK, investigate, investigation
rather. Oh, OK What 'd you get?
Did it not show up go? Add one D4.
Add one D4 so 21 + 223 for my investigation.
You realize that the objects are tied to a protect now they're
and they're hidden behind themselves because they are
already got. You're guessing Faust wasn't
able to see because of the magics on the pot, but just
below the pot there and you're only catching it like the faint
scrapings of it on the sides. But you see that there is a they
trigger if they were moved. More than likely.
You're not 100% sure exactly what it is, but you you would
know that there's a trap. Underneath there's It looks like
there's a trigger underneath each individual pot.
Yes. OK, these pots look like they
are rigged to do something. There's a trigger underneath
each of them. Like magic or like a regular
trigger, we should be equipped to deal with both and.
Say it looks like a regular trigger.
As we are here for something of significance, I and if the
potted plants are trapped, I say we reserve our strength and our.
Resources. For interacting with something
more dangerous than a potted plant.
There. We can grab all our way out.
Right. I think you guys are leading
this show. I don't really have the ability
to like I could do detect a dead and I could tell you where all
the dead are. I mean, that's probably a good
idea too. I think maybe you should do
that. Let.
Me see it is a. Mommy does characteristically
Mommy Mommy things, opens the door to the left and walks into
what looks like an embalming suite.
Only guess. OK.
So it's embalming suites. There's nothing in there I can
eat. No, it's very much like
chemicals. Boo, I'm going to close the door
and walk out. I do divine sense.
My intuition is telling me we're likely to find anything
significant to pass to the statue.
Wow. What?
Went on there. Oh, that's your 60 foot radius?
Yeah, for divine sense, I want to see is there any?
Celestial fiend Durmund dead. I'm.
Going. To follow.
Behind within 60 feet, woman. With the axe.
Yeah, you get a a noxious odor from the north and to the South
or so sorry to the east and to the to the South.
Sure. Alright, call that out.
Hey guys, you're walking towards undead.
Undead. Follow.
As they you see opening the door to the east, a set of stairs
that leads to three doors. Yay more.
Doors. Wish chess of traps.
Are you guys going to come help me decide or do I just get to
keep choosing doors at random? I'm going to look for traps
again. Our thinker is our thinker at a
rogue that should be a lead of there's a dungeon delve.
We're the muscle. 14 + 418. Oh, guidance?
What does that guidance work? It's it's I have to cast it
every time so I could cast it the can trip.
That's why she was adding the the four now, I think.
So you're, you're good. Oh sorry, I thought it remained
like constant for a while. That's what I that's why I was
asking. It's like a one per use, but
like if, if we're if you're going forward, I don't want to
have to say it every time like while she's in the lead.
I'm just guidance, saying everything people are doing
until something happens here to support you.
Sweet. Holy shit was it 18 then total?
Yeah, 18 total. I don't like the way this one.
Worded. AFK just a second.
OK, yeah, let's go. Yeah, you can tell that each one
of these doors seem to be tied into some sort of trap.
Did you hear me? Sorry, can you repeat that?
Oh, I said that you can. You can tell that each one of
these doors seem to lead to some sort of trap.
Oh, OK, each of these doors rigged to a trap.
Are any of the traps worse than the others or better than the
others? Am I able to tell that with the
investigation? Yes, you find the one to the
north is a guillotine blade trap, the the one to the South
is a poison gas trap and the one directly east is a panic trap it
it would cast panic. It's a oh, magical.
I could do that. I can't be frightened.
Am I able to disarm any of these traps?
Believe Mama also has resistance against being frightened.
You can try. You can certainly try to disarm
any of the traps. Guidance.
OK, I definitely try. Welcome back.
Maybe we should like, maybe we should like sacrifice a goblin
and have one of the goblins go on 1st.
We can't sacrifice a goblin. We we made a contract with them.
If you want to sacrifice goblins, we need to capture some
goblins. You have.
Additional goblins. Which trap you're trying to
disable and I believe it would be a sleight of hand at this
point because they they all seem to be mechanically triggered
upon opening the door. Also though, you realize that in
your investigation that the the each one of these doors is
locked. So you would guess upon
unlocking the door and opening it, each one of these traps
would be to say yeah enabled. I feel like the guillotine would
be the best one to do because you just open the door and then
it's just probably going to come down in the door frame, right?
Well then I cry like the frightened one.
Like I think either me or Mommy could attempt.
Can't be frightened. Panic the same as being
frightened. I have no idea.
Yes. OK.
And yeah, now we could face it together like a team.
Well, I would say, OK, I would identify each trap behind each
door and I'm like, this one's here, this one's here, this
one's here. What's the best one we have of
dealing with? I suggest the the the guillotine
by just picking the lock and letting it swing open.
I will. I'm going to cast.
Oh gosh, I have 5 more uses of my divine sense.
I could use it. We know there's a undead
somewhere around here. As we move forward, I could keep
pinging it. I assume whatever we're after is
in in the dead persons, in the in in in the undeads like
chamber. Would I know that?
I don't know if I would know that.
I mean, there's probably some other treasure in the other
rooms, but maybe the main thing we want is in the room with the
undead. Right.
Because it would technically be guarded.
I could ping that again if we want more info.
We could also there's still two more doors in the main room.
We don't have to answer or open any of these doors with the
traps. That's true, yeah.
It's. Saying we can always turn
around. Well, we know we can open one of
these doors without two of us getting affected.
I knew I should have purchased pass wall or learned pass wall.
Then we'd save ourselves a lot of argument.
I'm going to pick the lock on the guillotine 1 and kind of
like, yes, just stand off to the side and try to say like, I'm
going to stay out of the way. The Guillotine 15.
To pick the lock. Yeah.
OK. That's guidance.
Oh, plus 4. Stuff here. 15 + 419.
Where did that go? I was just.
OK. OK, there it is.
Yeah. So you're able to pick that
lock, it clicks and. I'm going to take a step back.
Well, are you going to open the so you?
Yeah, after I pick the lock, I'm going to like push the door open
and not go through. How does?
Anyone got a 10 foot stick? No.
You figured that'd be part of the kit, right?
It's definitely one of the things you can take, but.
No. Not always part of the tank.
Does our wizard have mage hand? Actually, I don't know.
No, I do not. Otherwise, we do look familiar.
I have mage hand so after picking the lock I'll use mage
hand to push the door open. Oh, here we go.
Does your mage hand take damage? I don't know.
I don't know if it takes damage. A tantrum.
So if it dies, it dies. Yeah, I was gonna say I thought
it like the hand damaged. Is alders gate it's got like 2
HP but. A spectral hand.
Technically it doesn't. 30 feet from you.
Yeah, I don't. Think it does cast the.
Spell again, it's it's spectral. You should just trigger all the
traps, open every door, right? We set up a little like a little
bunker here right between all these columns and we just open
up every door 6 and like successively and lure everything
into the death into the death area.
This. Is behind the guillotine door.
Just just a thought. So as you, as you trigger the
door, your, your hand, you can see it's sliced in half, sliced
in half, but it just, you know, phases back through it towards
you after it gets hit. But the whole guillotine, as the
door had swung open, slid from the door frame as if it was
being held open, held by the door itself, and fills the
entire doorway. So now there's just a metal
sheet that slid from above and is filling that doorway to the
north. Wait, so we can't get in because
it's filling the door completely?
Correct. Did it slide in from the side or
from the top? OK, it's like a.
Double door. I'm going to assume all of these
trap doors are like that. I'm going to assume this is a
dead end and we should go back and try another door.
It's my vote. So we're able to sense a lot of
stuff. Are any of us besides Warren,
who's no longer here, able to sense Guild?
Guild. That that I know of anyone have
locate object? That was an important sense.
Right, we use that one the most I think.
OK, objects would be real nice. Yeah, I'm fine with going back
to the main room and checking out the other doors, especially
if like I recognize them again. What if the traps repeat?
If there's a pattern, we might know what doors to avoid and
what doors that have the good stuff.
Did that one have any like significant markers on it or
anything to like give it away? Did it have any significant
markers? The one that you already opened,
you mean? No any any of the doors.
Oh, no, they're all very much just doors.
Yeah, just. Plain.
Let's start just opening doors then.
Yep. Bobby, do you got do you want to
do the frightened one? Everyone comes back into the
main room. If you're resistant, frightened.
Otherwise I can. No, I don't.
Don't see? Any value?
Yeah. This is the value of state
what's on the other side of the door.
I don't. Think there's going to be
anything on the other side? I think these are real fake
doors. I think these are.
There's an undead beyond this point.
Yeah, we know that for sure. To the east and to the north,
they were undead. Well, let's see what's to the
South and to the West. Maybe there's witches?
South and East are where the undead were were.
South and east where the where the others were.
But we've opened north and oh, north and east.
Sorry. So South and West, No.
Yeah. Well, no, South and the east are
undead, so in the direction we're going and then to the
South, because north and West are the in.
This room, I'm talking about the main room.
In the main room with the statue, I opened the door to the
north and there was an embalming chamber.
This was the door to the east. It has these 3 doors with traps.
I suggest we go back up the stairs and open the door in the
South in the main room or the 1st room.
Let's do it. Let's go.
You think there's anything special about this evolving
room? There wasn't anything to eat, so
no. I'll look around know.
Investigate the embalming room. I'll assistance.
OK? I'll open this door all by
myself. Oh.
You walk into the door to the South mommy, and everyone's
going to have to roll initiative.
OK, that one disturbed. What song?
Was that? I don't know.
It's our song. Our adventuring call.
Yeah, it's our. I'm.
Pretty sure our adventuring song is probably like Yakety Sax.
No, it's just our encounter song.
You know, like that noise when you find a Pokémon in the wild.
Yeah, my version. Yeah, that's it.
The Trill. I got a 31.
Holy fuck. Plus 13.
Look at you go, you beast. I thought I was crazy out here
with the plus 9 Jesus Christ. I got a -1 I don't go fast.
Oh, either of these guys. So it's all right. 23 I'm seeing
from Faust. 18 for me. I don't know if that came
through. Initiative.
Initiative, Mommy kick the door. This is what I get for not
paying attention. If Faust and Franklin also want
to roll me in an investigation for and and possibly tell me how
you're investigate trying to investigate that room.
Perfect start. That would definitely be mommy
at top with a 31 and you hear you don't see anything yet, but
you hear from these caskets that are in front of you.
Mommy, just this. Which casket?
All three of them. All three mom is just going to
smile. Yes, finally, can you?
So wait, all the caskets just open?
I don't see anything yet. They have not even opened yet
because they are so low in the initiative that they literally
just grunted from the caskets. You can hear sounds inside the
caskets, but they've not. They're not open.
As for how I'm investigating, I was just going to look around
with the tech magic before probably trying to history check
to figure out what I'm looking at, but.
Still thinking there, mommy? What I thought nothing's
appeared yet. Physically no, but you still
have your movement and your action and a bonus action
potential that you could be using if you.
Like, I mean, not really. Like I don't have, I don't pass
spells right? All I have are melee weapons.
Right. Or you could hold an action.
I don't understand what that means.
So if you hold an action, you tell me a scenario in which upon
that action would be triggered basically.
So like say for instance in this scenario you hear noises coming
from these coffins, presumably there is something inside of
them. So if something comes out and
comes towards you, you could say I will hold my attack action for
that, a whole a held action. Oh, I see, I see.
OK, well, I'm going to 1st off back out of that narrow ass
little room because there's not a lot of room to maneuver.
And this way my companions can come to my aid and then I
suppose I will hold. So I'm going to hold my action
for the three vicious hand axes. If that happens, if a if a
monster appears, I'm going to hold my action for attacking
them with my with the the axis. Got it.
That would put put Faust up next with the 23 and Franklin on deck
for you what you're trying to learn Faust as you're looking at
the room, you can tell this is potentially where these undead
that they were Speaking of were prepared before they were laid
to rest. So as a as such there are
various herbs and medicines set alongside the wall, as well as a
a table that would fit a corpse on top of it and some some
fixtures off to the side for lighting.
But that's. Anything that is clearly
valuable. The herbs would and medicines
would probably be valuable to someone, maybe not anyone here
because water seems to be the most valuable thing as opposed
to. Valuable to me, I'm.
Yeah, it might be valuable. OK.
We're going to go kill some undead.
OK. It is it is your turn, so you
would are you making any sounds mommy towards asking for help by
the way, since doc is a real. Tradition of that if I assume
that meant I am aware there is a fight.
I It's less that you're aware that there is a fight and more
that I'm trying to keep track of what everybody's doing.
That's fair. Oh.
Yeah, I'm going to go to. The room I'm.
Going to back out of again that the small space with the coffins
and I'm just going to say, I'm just going to shout look alive.
You would probably hear that through the open door.
Look at that, motherfuckers. They don't look alive to me and.
They're in the door that she just came out of.
You know what? Let me see something.
Where is it? We're going to use my favorite
spell, I think. Why not let me see something
here? Create a wildfire songs rather
than rain you. That is the suspicion, by the
way, Ash, as Mommy just came back out of the door that they
opened to the South. It's going to be a bad day for
these guys I think. Nowhere in the wall of fire does
it say that I have to have line of sight on the entire wall of
fire. I'm reading wall of fire.
Nowhere in the spell does it say I have to have line of sight on
the entire wall. I understand what you're saying,
I did, but I'm like it was more of out of confusion than.
I I wanted to fill that room with a wall of fire.
Fill it out a. Wall of fire on a solid surface
within range. That is the first sentence.
Yes. Range is 120 feet.
And that is a fun fact that the wall is opaque.
I don't feel like we were playing with it like that before
either. We did.
Oh, OK, that you can see through the one side.
At least of as of the fight against the Gift, we've been
playing with it as if it were opaque.
OK, that you can see through it. OK, good.
Well, that's not what opaque means.
It's the opposite. Fuck, I always fuck that up.
That would be translucent or transparent.
Yeah, I'm just going to like, I can't remember how big it was,
but I remember it's about what? It's starting at this point
high, 1 foot thick. Starting at this point, I'm
going to make a line in this direction in this direction.
Yeah, it doesn't make it that far it but you, you feel that,
you feel that space. You guys just see a wall of fire
in that direction? Damaging side, that side towards
the coffin I can see. Right.
Yeah, I I would say that that works because you were able to
kind of see like this portion of the wall and this portion of the
wall. So you kind of know that you
could place. Yeah, that makes sense that you
could place it a wall of fire. There, there's my turn.
All right, then it would be Franklin with Ash on deck.
Am I hearing the all or look alive?
And then just a whoosh of fire sounds behind me.
Uh huh. And I glance over my shoulder
and go hey, got it. And.
Probably accurate. We'll see.
And So what the fuck is in these coffins?
True. I had a 14 on my investigation
and I am sending my bugs forth to find secret doors and
entries. OK, so let me see here.
Out of this room. Yeah, I, I, I know what you're
you're driving at. Let me see, though, what I'd had
in place. Bet some of this shit's hot as
fuck. Was a 14.
Yeah. They're able to tell you that
there seems to be another way out your bugs.
Amos probably says they're reporting back that there's
there's an error air flow to the to the to the West.
But we're we're just real. Not sure.
I look at the West side, but it's that statue for my action.
I attempt to interact with the statue.
I I pump my head out again, see the giant wall of fire, nod my
action, try to fuck with this thing.
OK, so you improvise. Is that what the you're telling
me now? I guess there's an act.
It's like an, it's like one of the classified actions.
That's what I'm just I'm clarifying for.
It's like. I guess I mean, can I use my
action to do a focused investigation of this thing,
whatever the fuck it is? Absolutely.
Another 14, but now I'm looking just at this thing.
Shit do it with advantage for me.
Hey, come on. Something OK, Fourteen.
There we go. So you lean into it and you know
that there's definitely air movement.
So there's definitely a bigger, smaller, you know, variable size
chamber on the other side creating this that that is
connected to this one and connect creating the air flow
movement. And you see inside of the the
like recessed image in the wall that's like carved into it,
there's a scepter that draws your eye.
Like the scepter is carved in. It's like a carved scepter.
Yeah, it's like a pharaoh that's sitting in a chair and there's a
scepter in their hand. That's cool.
That's probably what we're here for.
Look at the Pharaoh. You're probably one of the dead,
aren't you, you little fuck. I skip away.
Oh. Hash hash.
I found a secret door. Oh, OK.
I love secret doors. You're going to use your
movement to get back into that chamber then, yeah?
There you go, There you go. I don't know how much of that
that was. I was. 10/15/2020, 5:30.
Perfect. Cool fire.
All right, that's my turn. All right, Ash, what you doing?
I'm going to call out to me, man.
I'm like, how can you see what's going on in there?
What's in there? Now you physically cannot.
There is just fire in the way. There's only fire.
Yeah, only. Fire.
Strange noises and fire. I think that S direction is
probably pretty well taken care of, no?
I should just be like you guys got this and go to the secret
door. I mean, do whatever Ash would
do. Well, she likes to avoid combat,
so I'm going to go in this room. How much was that?
She will help her allies when she needs to, but if she can
dock her way out of it, she will.
It's weird you can't normally talk to the aunt dad even though
you do it all the time. 5:30 You can move up here.
OK, and I'm going to look around the room and be like, where's
that secret door at? Unless you're dashing, which
would take your action. She Rogue.
Oh, I think you are. I am.
If she's a rogue then you could bonus action dash.
Yeah, so you could get all the way up there with your bonus
action. Oh, OK.
Well, then yeah, I will definitely do that.
And this is the secret door that has yet to be opened.
I call back. Did you did you see if this was
trapped at all? I don't have that ability.
I just know there's a room behind that.
I'm going to investigate the door for traps.
All right, go ahead and roll. 16.
All righty, You know that.
Oh, actually, yeah. No, no.
Yeah, 16, you said sorry. Yeah, 16.
I was just reading too much. You know that if this door is
open, there is a chance that the person that walks through the
door could be changed in there after it's unlocked and opened.
The person that first walks through could be randomly
polymorphed. Randomly polymorphed and I can
just tell that they're just going to be polymorphed.
But it that's that's it. That's the gist that I get from
it. Yes, you can try disarming it,
but. That would take another action,
yeah. Correct.
I'm going to call back and I'll be like Franklin, this door is
rigged. This door is rigged to change
you polymorphia and I don't know.
OK, well, we'll probably need Faust for that then.
I'm. Just going to be like, all
right, turn. Around.
Unless you want to go through there and get polymorphic.
It's up to you you. Would still need another action,
probably to. Lock pick are.
We just continuing to explore. You set it, you set the entire
hole on fire. There's literally nothing else
we can do until their. Turn.
Fair enough. Looked in there, saw you set the
entire fucking thing on fire. Went Yep, kept doing what I was
doing. Fair enough.
Nailed it. Is that your turn then?
Yeah, that's going to be it for my turn.
I'm going to stay right here. All right, meanwhile, as you
guys cannot see what is exactly happening on the other side of
this wall of fire, need to roll some stuff.
I was beginning their turn inside the fire.
Yeah. That's.
Fun. Is it 5 feet from the wall or
whatever 2. 10 feet. Ten Oh Gee, OK, so yeah, they
what is the damage they need to roll as they start their turn, I
guess. They start their turn inside of
it, it's just going to be a straight 5DA fire damage.
OK, you want to roll that for me?
Just did. Thank you boy.
And as they walk through. I believe it's start their turn
or it's in their turn or enter the zones that was entering the
zone. OK.
I thought that was just starting their turn because it was just
you cast it. It's it's at the end of their
turn if they end within the zone.
That's my mistake on how it. Works well.
They when you cast it they were within the zone.
Does it not take I? Figured they were inside the
coffins like I don't. Know if they.
That's up to him. Yeah.
Anyways, I'm fine you see on fire creatures now that 20 start
marching their way out of the out of the out of the room that
had coffins in him and through the wall of fire.
That's where I was asking whether or not there would be
when they walk through it. I know if they started their
turn. Takes the same damage when it
enters the wall. So it started it's turn, it
ends. I believe that they would take
the damage again as they walk through it.
That's what I thought too, yeah. Are you going to roll?
An additional 29 damage. It's just an easy bake oven.
We're. Going to get the cutest little
cakes when they're done. These barely standing, they make
it out to the other side, but they're just, they're just
crunchy little brittle peanut brittle mummies.
Most of their wrappings have been burned off, but they they
make it to the other side and they're standing in the hallway
just about ready to get out. That's about all the farther
they can get though, and they're standing there.
It would be Mama's turn. And I believe, though, that
would have triggered your ready to action before it got back to
your turn, honestly, that they were coming for you.
Mommy, There are three of them. Oh.
First, get a mommy. You're muted if you were
talking. Just so that you know, to
Franklin or about Faust, you're on deck.
Mommy. Mommy did.
She post in the chat at all? I'm not seeing anything unless
they're wait, what's this? Oh yes, I throw an axe at each.
Do you want to roll for it? Who's that girl?
Or did you already roll for it? Nope, I'm seeing Faust's fire is
the last thing that was in chat. Oh oh, I'm seeing some roles
now. How?
Those all hit. Destruction. 11/11/11 What are
the fucking odds? What are the fucking odds?
Make a wish. My we ought to make.
A wish. That that that kills them all.
If you would like to describe how, although you can't for some
reason. Nope.
Yeah, so I guess you, your, your axe, your hand is on your hip
ready for the first things to breach the wall.
And as they do, the first one gets just enough farther out in
front of the others that are falling behind.
But the your hand moves quicker than the eye as you pull the axe
out of its side holster, throw it straight in the center of the
head of the first one. And and with that, without even
blinking to most most other people, or within one blink, the
last two zombies fall to the ground too, just behind them.
So all three zombies fall to the ground and your vicious hand
axes reappear at your holsters. Nailed it.
Oh yeah, you guys are out of combat currently.
Great. All right.
You want to keep that thing up. How long does it last there,
Faust? We can quickly open some doors
and toss in anything that we find into the fire hole.
That will be necessary. What?
The duration is another minute. It is a full minute, so we don't
have a long time. Let's very quickly open up this
door over here, no? More efficient.
To me, just pass the spell, then you wrangle something and throw
it in the fire hall. So we're just going to grab
whatever enemy we find, drag them back, throw them into the
fire. That's actually a really good
idea. I'm going to.
I'm going to very quickly cast the.
I'm going to run over here. Unless it's a guillotine.
I can. Just oh, hello.
How big of a spell is that? It's a fourth level spell.
I have two more. OK, all right, Well, maybe we'll
look at this left robe. We know there's no zombies
there. Should I recast the Divine Sense
and see if we got all the ones to the South?
Just a. Number and we'll get it if.
There were still more. I imagine it would still be an
initiative order. True.
Well, that's only if we've engaged them.
I call out about the secret door and how it's rigged with a
polymorph spell. Oh yeah, that's a that's a youth
thing there, Mr. Faust. Oh, we could throw.
We could. If we find another zombie or
another mummy, throw them through there, see what they
turn into. Maybe we'll get a pet.
Maybe I'm. Going to pick the lock on the
door. Heard mommy for like a second.
Yeah, we're not an initiative anymore because we killed all
the monsters that are, you know, behind door number, whatever.
So that doesn't mean there aren't any more lurking.
So you're trying to disarm that trap, Ash?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Bobby.
Door. And then?
Leave the trap intact and maybe we could throw a zombie or a
mummy through there and see what they turn into.
So yes, you you were able to lock pick the door with that 18.
It opens up and then there's a slight film in the air that you
can see in front of you. Yep, it's open.
It's definitely trapped. You sense any more undead
Franklin? Let's drag him in.
Can I attempt to? Disable the magic?
Or can I guess just spell magic? You may, you may no.
Well, I get charges for it. So that's the question that I
was wondering. Are you looking at?
So the way that this particular trap was written when I when I
was looking at it, there it is. It requires a specific DC to
them to the dispel magic well. Yeah, the new version requires
that it's OK. OK, 10 plus the spell spells
level is the standard, but whatever your DC is for the
trap, that's fine. It's So what is your?
I get the DC is 617. OK, then I need to roll a spell
casting ability check. Let's see here that is not.
So I need to roll my spell casting.
Ability. Intelligence so.
Got it. Intelligence check What's my
plus to my spell casting? Where is it?
I have a + 9 to spell casting. 10 + 9 got it.
And you're trying to beat a 17. Oh yeah, you got it.
No, I no it. I didn't roll at all, did I?
No, there was. The DC is 10 plus the spells
level. Oh, OK, no, never mind.
I haven't rolled. I need to roll it.
I need to roll. AD 10 I got it but.
Plus 1D4. No, I didn't open at 20.
Very nice. With a net 20 you There we go
open you walk up to the the door.
If you wanted to tell me you're verbal and semantic, you're
welcome to. Yeah, I'm not a picky about
that. I don't really have anything,
no. You walk up to the door, you
slide your hand along the the side and find that it has
something to do. Knowing too that with magics
that for the most part if there's something that is left
behind by caster, it's usually some sort of imbued object,
whether it be an engraving or a cast or a circle of some sort
and laid with something. You find it along the side of
the door jamb and just say go on fuck out and scratch your finger
nail through the the the side of the door and the spell
dissipates. After you Madam stepping aside
for mommy to go through. The door opener.
Just letting her handle it. Where is just.
Letting them handle it. Where is the secret door I just
dispelled? I mean, that's fair.
So yeah, Mommy's going to walk up.
And if there's an invitation, mommy's going to walk up.
I don't have my thing open anymore.
But yeah, Mommy's going to walk up and and go through the door
trusting that her companion is successfully dispelled whatever
nefarious spell was there. You walk through the doorway
with no problem and into an archway that seems to be a
covered archway that has various windowed openings out into the
desert beyond, with a pathway that leads out from that door,
which is to the West and then to the South to another door.
Although the covered archway that you're standing in you
could easily walk off of and out into the desert.
God. Damn it, this was just a way in.
Yeah, but we don't want to do that.
But there's more door. Now the question is, do we want
to go through these doors or do we want to go back and go
through that last W door and the first room?
Well, we that was the only other.
The other undead was to the east.
Yeah, we already went through that door.
Yeah, but we didn't meet in Undead.
But we didn't go through all three doors either.
Yeah, those are them just for consideration.
We can go, we can go left and it'll probably be a single room
thing or east towards the danger if we want to expediate the but.
Now we have Newt more. Result we do have more doors
you. Inside.
Check Does mommy have a thing for doors?
I, I don't know, I think mommy has just been stuck inside for
so long that they're just trying to find something.
With the four as well too, you're like, it's just mommy,
OK? I mean, after you, Mama, you're
the one who's very excited to open the doors.
Excited for discovery? Yeah, well, there's probably, I
mean, there had to be something else in that first room, right?
I feel like we should go back and open the last unopened door.
Feel like we're going to regret that later.
In the bedroom. Can everybody write a or no?
That's Mima. Mima has a sweet spell where I
can like ask the DMA question. Oh, I know which one you're
talking about, but I forget what it's called.
Yeah, guidance if we should open that door or not or we should
just carry on. Well, like there's there's a
door in front of so, so I'm going to say this out loud, but
like Mimi is kind of impulsive or sorry, mommy, mommy is kind
of impulsive. So there's a door in front of
mommy that is not open that can be opened.
So the the the like gut reaction is just going to go open it.
I write that down. Write it down.
Motherfucker. But if no one's going to stop
me, if no one thinks we should go back, I'm going to start
walking forward. I don't think anyone's stopping
you you in. An absence of Ezra, I'm willing
to let you be the. OK, we're.
Going to let. You lead and she's just going to
support you, Ashes. Perfect.
In that case you pull on the door, it is locked.
Push it. Did you try pushing?
I'm gonna look at Oh, that's a good.
Point gonna try pushing on the door.
Try pushing on the door. It is also locked.
I'm gonna look over at Ash, but can you do the unlock thing
again? I can.
I'm gonna come down the hallway. I just wiggle my way past her to
the door. I want to investigate it first.
That's fair. Just for caution 18, is it even
locked? It's locked you you can tell
though that what was it, 18 you said?
Yes. You can tell that it's just
locked. That it's not trapped.
Yeah. I'm like God, this door doesn't
seem to be trapped. So I kneel down and I start
working on the lock. I rolled an 18.
Where did it go now? I was just looking at it.
There it is. Got too many tabs?
Yeah, I do the same thing to myself.
You're able to hear the the tumblers click into place, so
you're quite sure it's unlocked now.
I'm like, all right, it's unlocked.
Do you what? I'm going to let you open it.
And again, I'm going to like, squeeze past her and I'm going
to kind of like Crouch down and just like press myself against
the wall because I'm like, oh God, what if I was wrong?
I don't say that out loud. I just leave her to open the
door. Leave them to open the door.
Be over here. That's fine.
Mama just walks forward and confidently opens the door.
And you open the door and immediately are looks like, from
everyone else's perspective, swallowed by the earth.
Oh my God. Like down.
I don't go through the doorway, I go down.
Yes, the door opens, it swings out and then you just disappear.
Like like the like not just disappear, but like the earth
literally looks up, looks like it opens up, comes out the 8
foot all the way around your 7 foot all the way around you and
sucks you down. I immediately lunge towards the
floor. The fuck?
Surprise trapdoor. Where did it go?
OK, here we go. The crown is alive.
You. Slide forward Ash and see mommy
in a pit of spikes. Good thing I have goblin shoes.
Goblin. Small shoes.
They protect me, right? Yeah, the steel toe juice.
Except they're just not under your feet.
They're all the way around you, and the earth is pressing in.
Currently you've taken 12 damage.
Not that much for you. Piercing.
Very confused by what's happening.
Ashley. She's in a pit, but the pit is a
mouth, and it's the earth. Actually into a pit and I'm
laying on the floor on my stomach looking down into the
pit. I call out.
I'm like, it was a trap, I missed it, I'm sorry.
Just rummaging through my bag. I'm like, I probably have rope.
I took 12 damage. Yep.
Yeah, oh boy, let me see what I have.
And the teeth or the rather the the the spikes seem to be formed
of earth or stalagged mites. So.
Actually occurring spikes. I don't actually have any gear.
I. Guess I'm completely naked.
Skeleton running around, you don't have any pockets or
anything. Get some cargo shorts.
I start unspooling the rope and I toss them down to her and I
turn around to the Grand Am and I'm like, OK, we got to pull her
up and I hope you're strong. I assessed.
I feel like you're going to have to describe that, Franklin. +2
Strength, yeah. I haven't.
They could have one. OK.
So you guys are standing on the. I use my swarm.
This pit and you lowered the rope down into it and are is
voust helping any I guess. Oh, I'm sorry.
I said granddad, yeah, I tossed the rope to them and I'm like,
you guys are going to help. We're going to pull.
We're going to pull my way out. Me, me out.
Yeah, well, that's all I oops. I'll help.
Don't know how much. I'll probably be worse.
OK, I actually have a positive strength modifier.
Take that back. We can do that.
I, I was going to say, you've got literally all of the, the
weakest players trying to pull the strong, one of the strong.
I know. Yeah, he's a.
Giant. I swear if he's got me another
spell slot, if I had to jump in there and teleport her out, I
swear to God. I'm trying to see how much I
weigh and I can't find that on this.
I could cast compelled duel on her so she gets herself out to
beat the fuck out of me. Hold the pocket rocket down and
she can. They can.
That's true. Pocket rocket, that's true.
Just tie the pocket rocket to the end of the rope.
To the end of the rope. How far down is the pit did you
say? 20 feet, I don't think I said
before, but that is the bottom of the pit.
So mommy stands, you know, 7 feet off the bottom.
Yeah. I mean, yeah, that's not a bad
idea. Do you have your poop symbol,
Mommy? Always.
OK. Yeah, £300.
That's fine. I hand the pocket rocket to my
familiar and say go fly down there.
Just jump into the pocket rocket.
Oh yeah, I can do that. Before your I'm guessing you
flick it before the familiar actually even gets off of
Franklin shoulder. Yeah, so why, why are you
sending the poker rocket down there?
Don't I just need the charm? Yeah, I don't know the range.
You're within range. And I don't even need to, I just
hold it up. Yep, there you go.
Yeah, so I choose to. Write them.
Being where we're at, I would very much hate to destroy that
particular familiar and let the pocket rocket fall below turn
spikes. I would rage quit.
This game I'd be. Like I'm fucking done.
It's like all our shit, my baby. 'S been there.
The baby. Isn't.
There really. Fuck, yours ain't my baby.
God damn earth, so fucking hungry.
So you you poof into the pocket rocket, no problem.
Outside of the mouth, though, the Earth does seem to kind of
like like like when you got something stuck in your teeth.
There is this this like you're. It just keeps trying to open and
close, like there's something there but there's nothing.
I'm nom. Nom, and I'm assuming you poof
back just to see what's going on outside the pocket rocket near
Franklin, just next to the mouth and nearly, nearly on top of
Ash. I'm.
Back. I'm.
Still laying across the ground at this point.
So you're standing on top of Ash with your nethers pointed to
her. I'm just like, hey, I'm glad
you're back. I can't breathe.
Good thinking team. Hey, high 5.
Well. And you see on the other side of
the door what looks like another smaller chamber, very similar to
the chamber that you guys started in, without a pool of
water or light coming in from the top or the sides in it as
well. As cool in there.
The hole that you guys were being sucked into that you're
standing next to. What happens if we throw
something in the hole? Very curious.
Just. Eat whatever we put in.
There, you just were in there. Yeah, that's true.
I was trying to be eaten. You're right.
I guess I wanted to observe it from the outside.
It it looks like a. Oddly enough, the hole itself is
not perfectly round. It's almost like it's two ovals
with a that are offset from each other, but overlapping and
they're very wide set ovals. And if you were to peer down in
between them, you would see the the spikes that you were just
in. And it is continually trying to
like search up near around it like trying to trying to like
there's almost like a suction in the air to trying to pull
something into it. Too bad we can't catch this
thing. So it's in front of the door,
right? Can we see?
Because the doors open, Can we see through the doorway?
You can see through the doorway. It is in the doorway though.
Like not like taking up the space where the door itself
would be, but rather like where the like like 5 feet in either
direction from the door. It is.
It is this hole. That.
Space beyond. Is just outside the main chamber
we were in just a moment ago. That makes sense.
So that's where the other door goes, maybe?
And way to find out. There we go.
I I forgot to open the door. I apologize.
Physically on the map? Uh huh, I found some things too.
Oh, some things. Yeah, I like this thing.
This thing here. Oh, that's too big.
Hey, guys. Oh.
My. There we go.
East is the only way to go unless this fire is done.
I think the fire would be over at this point.
Well, even if the fire is over, there wasn't anything else in
that room. There were just three coffins.
Just three. Coffins.
Yeah, those coffins are probably gone.
Yeah, I'm going to go collect anything that's left over.
The coffins are still intact. They.
I'm going to collect some mummy jerky for Ezra.
Only left. I take the chips.
I. Like those too?
Yeah, the bone. He'll like those.
And we could feed the bone monster.
Oh that's right, forgot he needs a snack.
We're so good to our captives. The coffins are still there.
Are they undamaged? Not undamaged, but they seem to
be intact. I mean, are they stone coffins?
They seem like. Stone they are.
They are stone coffins. Are you searching inside of
them? Yes.
I. Will 'cause you asked.
God damn it. I searched so fucking hard.
We're gonna dagger. You kicked.
Every door open that you can. Yeah, I know better than to go
searching in coffins. I'm not afraid of no coffin.
Oh whoops, 25 is my first one. Probably a trap.
I really just, I haven't done it.
So. I really just want to do it.
He sounds very. Upset.
Take a step back. Do it.
OK. It's going.
To be a friendly mimic. Wait, but it opened up and it
let us off. Yeah, it, it, it is.
You reach your hand into it, and it just.
Doc Yes guys, we got a new mimic.
This is the first one we've encountered.
I would say that we're lucky, but you just yell that out.
We've also been yelling back and forth and nothing has reacted to
our noise. Yeah, you're in an undead
cavern. I don't think they really care.
Yep. I don't.
Give a sheet. So this thing has bitten me.
I attempt to lift it up and teleport into the pocket rocket.
Oh, here we. Go got him is.
It the Pocket Rocket repository. Shit, I see.
It's like catfish. It's like a catfish fishing
where you stick your arm into a hole.
Oh, noodling. Noodling.
Got 1.
Does the 16 hit you by the way? No.
I was going to say. So I don't know if the bite
actually hits you or not. That's where I was going for.
That's fine. I mean, we can drop a new
initiative. I, I announced to everyone, this
coffin's trying to eat me. Guys, this is the greatest day
ever. Where do you put it?
Inside the pocket rocket? Do you need to see that or can
you survive? I mean, otherwise we'll have to
change it up, right? Yeah, otherwise it just might
eat all the goblins. Yeah, I mean, A, we have not
done that yet. Like I assume we still have to
get it in there. B, you just chain it up
somewhere. OK, Turn it to the wall.
Just bolt it to the floor. Or a shape changing object.
All right, anyway, so you. It'll be an adventure in the
pocket rocket. You, you, you pull your hand
back in time. I guess you guys, you guys are
in combat again. Do you want to hold the same
initiatives? Sure, we should re roll.
OK, Chuck, we. Can roll.
Maybe there's three. Then roll some initiatives. 14
I'm just saying if we, if we make friends with this thing, if
we contain this thing, we could turn it into a walking
repository for the pocket rocket.
Oh my God, what is its intellect, Bob?
Bob. Oh, I'm sorry, there's a,
there's a mimic coffin. Yeah, there's a mimic coffin.
It's trying to eat me. I'm very excited.
It's. In try and.
Befriend the mimic. It is minus. -3 intelligence.
The only change is that Faust goes first with Mommy to follow.
I don't. Even know what mimics?
Are like how do you even? Try to mimic.
How do you what a mimic? Quite a mimic.
What am I even supposed to do here?
Well. It is in the shape of a coffin,
right? Yeah.
How did the mouth?
Open. Was it in like teeth around the
door of the coffin or did a mouth open just in the center of
the door? No, it was the the whole coffin,
just like. Casting acid.
Splash on the. Poison spray.
I can't remember if they're resistant to poison, but I'm
casting poison spray. Oh.
It was probably a virtual is OK. It need how does this work?
Needs to make a con save DC-17. Oh, just meet some beats at 17
all. Right.
Yep, no damage. Oh boy, that's interesting.
It does half. Let me double check.
I thought it would do half. That was my expectation.
The creature must conceive on a constitution save or take 1D12
poison damage. If it doesn't say half on and
yeah. Wow.
That's. Kind.
Of mean. That is pretty OK, so that's I
guess that's fair. That's why they've had to do it
like that. 2D12 is damn, you could do 24 damage on a can
trip. Damn.
Anyways, that's your action. That's your action.
Why are we taking a poor thing? Any bonus action or movement.
Do you have an idea on how to tame a monstrosity?
I assume we lock it in the corner and we feed it over time
exposure. That's how I got tamed.
Are you guys just talking amongst yourselves?
Are you yelling this out so that like, we all can hear you?
Behaving it out, I mean. Faust isn't the kind of yell in
frustration. The same way we're taming our
skeleton monster, we keep it locked up.
I'm just saying, if we have an enemy out there, what if we
mailed them this thing? We could totally just kill it.
I call out and I'm just like, we might have a way to tame it.
And I turned to Bob and I'm like, hey, Bob, can you take
over a mimic? If it's sedated, maybe.
Sedated. I thought you just had to
overpower its puny little mind. Yeah, honestly, I could probably
do that. But you know, Mistress, it's one
of those things it's I guess I honestly I to be, to be fully
truthful, I probably could, but you know, it's.
Don't want the mimic body. It would be nice honestly, but
no actually no buts. It would be nice because then I
could just change into whatever I wanted to be.
I just haven't really contemplated it before.
I guess you could become a flashlight.
I feel like Bob would go to the other end of that spectrum.
Yeah. Maybe good dildo?
There we go. Stop vibrating dildo I'm.
Just don't get it confused with Franklin's pillows or me know
Rahl's pillows. And this is how Bob ends up in
the good campaign. Never mind.
We send him as a spy if he's been there the whole time.
So I'm guessing Bob can't do anything until it's my turn.
Also I don't see the initiative box, it's not on my screen.
Oh, I probably haven't opened it.
My bad I. Mean that's fine, I just thought
I did something wrong. Nope, I just didn't open it the
last couple times because I was operating purely it.
Would be cool. Just so you know Ash, I do plan
on getting Bob a nice Angel body soon.
Is that your turn? Fell so that's my.
Whole turn. All right, Mama, it is your turn
with Franklin on day. Yeah, I'm assuming I'm not
really anywhere close. New.
And even if I was, there's not a lot of room to maneuver in
there. And even if I could, I don't
know if my axe would actually do anything to this mimic.
It's a big stone casket. You're.
Welcome to do whatever you would like.
You currently are standing it looks like in front of that pit.
Yeah, I'm going to move back towards that first room.
I don't know how far I'll get my movements, like 40, I think, but
I'm not going to enter that room.
I just kind of want to like be in the center of that main room.
I'm not going to go anywhere near the coffin.
And I'm just going to like shout like, like a backseat driver,
like you got this. Good luck and just stay right
like near the center of that first room.
All right. And what are we doing?
Are we try to catch this thing or we try to kill it?
It's up to you guys it sounds like because it is your turn,
Franklin with Ash, I would say. Let's let Bob see if he can take
over this thing's mind. Bob said he's willing to try.
All right, if this thing has some sort of intelligence, no -3
well, it's a, it's a sentient creature, though, right?
Oh, it's not sentient. As in, like, I mean, it has a
consciousness, right? But it's not like, it's not
like. Begins at like it's not like
what's the term that a lot of game like?
I think Final Fantasy uses the term spoken.
I like that a lot. Does anything capable of speech
is like a spoken and it's a person.
I mean, I'm trying to determine if I can frighten this thing.
I don't think it's been. A scary little Kitty.
I will. Through words.
No, I don't need to do that. I will pop a form of dread with
my bonus action, walk forward, and then smack this thing with
my hand on the top. OK, so you're going to what it
what does it need to roll? I'm going to attack it.
That's a good mimic right there. It can store so many mortal
enemies. Boy I will use, can I?
Does it have to be when you hit a creature?
OK I'll use chill touch because I have a + 11 to hit 18.
That'll hit. Was popping the dread though.
Was that an action? That's a bonus action.
So used what was the other bonus?
Bonus action to pop Dread. Action to smack it with a chill
touch. Oh, OK, I see what you're
saying. And then because I I have the
dread up, when I smack it, it makes a Wisdom saving throw.
Or if it or it is frightened and if it's within 10 feet of me, it
cannot move. That was an 8.
It fails. It is very end of May.
They cannot move. Yes.
Sit, stay, stay, stay. Dash, it's all Bob.
Oh, I'd I hadn't read this particular portion of it, but it
didn't get hit you either. That's interesting.
Anyways, what'd you say? I'm going to pass.
On my hip. Oh, OK.
If you want to go take over that mimic I.
I I guess so, Mistress, that it could be fun.
All right, wait a second. What?
I definitely could think of some things that I could do with any
form. Yeah.
You could be a monster truck, it'd be a house.
To leave the skull and take over the mimics body and remain in
the mimics body as long as you are helpful to us.
You just hear him start chanting 19 inch long, 19 inch long 1910
inch. Long Oh my God and do I just see
the like bright lights fly out of his eyeballs and down the
hallway? I don't know what the range on
that actually would be, isn't it?
Yeah. Does he have movement?
Should I move first? Let's.
See, been so long since I wrote Bob.
I know I normally I just use him to talk to it.
Yeah. Now there's an object is going
to be excellent. You.
He's technically a creature I think too.
I made him in both. Yeah, because like, his housing
is an object, but he himself is a creature.
Right. Because he's like he, he's like
duck to the skull, so to say, as a soul in your inventory.
It's essentially the skull is essentially like a like a ring
of mind, like a magic jar ring of mind shielding.
Yeah, OK. I I see him in your there, but I
guess that I didn't put him in. That's what it I I created him
as a creature. OK.
Yeah. I was going to say I have him in
my inventory but I was like, I don't think he has any like a
good description. Yeah, I've I've created him as.
A. Creature my collection.
Not doing too bad, if I say so myself, with having created this
whole dungeon off the fly. Yeah.
Good. It's good.
I like it. OK, so he's got possession.
One creature that spirit can see within 5 feet of itself.
OK. Just toss him like a get into
sight and toss him like a poker ball.
OK so I used my movement so I will use my bonus action as a
dash which how much does that give me?
Your movement speed again. Twice, yeah.
OK, can I see it from here? Yes, 'cause there isn't a wall
of fire in your way. So we can see the mimic.
Yes. Well, yeah, I don't.
I don't think so. No, actually you would need to
also be within 5 feet was what that required.
OK, so I use my bonus action as a dash.
Can I use my regular action as a dash?
Yeah. Can I use dash dash dash?
That's what that's what Rural did the other day.
Yeah, as a rogue, that's right. Trick Dash.
All right, Can we see it from the doorway?
We're just standing in the door. You would see a portion of it
because you can see the coffin with teeth, yes.
Is it latched on a Franklin's R? It was trying to be yes, I
that's where I was like, that's interesting.
I hadn't realized that if it touches you as a mimic, it
adheres to you. There isn't, there is no, there
is no save nothing. Oh.
My God. Just nom nom nom.
It's a. Perfect grappler.
Oh my God. Wait if I was a character with a
like a pair of like pet mimics I could just like use them to auto
grapple people? Yeah, there's a, there's a,
there's an escape from the grapple, but yeah, you
automatically grapple. Basically it's.
Sexy. I hold the skull up.
I hold Bob up in his little leather and casing from my hip,
and I'm like Bob. I give you permission to leave
the skull and take over the body of the mimic and remain in the
mimic as long as you remain helpful to us.
OK, well I'll do my best. And you see his eyes float away
towards the mimic. And it needs to be testing
guidance on Bob. Yeah, fuck yeah.
Go Bob. I've got a little Bob like
flyer. Woo the Bob.
Actually, I think it's the it's not Bob.
So it needs to make a Christmas evening crow.
So you don't want to cast guidance on it.
So there we go, I. Don't think I have Bane either.
Nope, but it is frightened. Is it a what?
Is it a save or a check? It's a save.
OK, nevermind. So Bob tries to, you can see Bob
harrying it, like floating around it, and he can't quite
get in. He's like.
Ah fuck, just give her a little. Bit more time I'll get in.
What's happening, Bob? Are you OK?
Yeah, it, it's mine is just real small and it just, you know,
have to stretch, stretch it out. So we need to make it a smidge
smarter. No, I got this.
Don't worry. But I think that would be your
turn. Yeah, that's ever my turn.
I use, I use all of my actions just to run.
I cheer my mom. I'm like, you can do it.
Take that bitch over, remember 19 inch long or whatever he
said. I say I like, yell that out and
I kind of just like, roll my eyes like dear God.
So. Long.
Shit, we're getting close to it say.
Too long. I think that's a A7 to try and
bite you Franklin. That which I know doesn't hit.
It would be a disadvantage and it also can't attack me because
unless it's got does it have a range attack?
No, not technically, no. OK.
It's 10 feet away. It can't move closer to me while
it's frightened. It also can't move farther away
from you currently. Yep.
So yeah, even with disadvantage, that will kill us, Kevin.
Well, it it can't bite me. It can.
Physically move closer to me to get within range because I used
a ghost flap. So it's just sitting in the back
corner. Towering.
Yeah, like making like dog wimpy sounds.
That used to make the same sounds.
Faust and then mom may technically, if you were doing
anything Faust. I'm not burning any more spell
slots on a fucking mimic. We're going to keep poison
spraying DC-17 con save. Are you hurting him?
Oh, are we? You know what, I forgot.
We're actually trying to not hurt.
We're trying to turn Bob into a into a sentient dildo.
With teeth and. That I didn't know that would be
protective. With teeth.
Horrifying. Have you seen those tongues
though? No.
Auto grapple What is spouse
doing? The House is getting away from
this scenario. He's going to stand over here
until he's needed. Yeah, did he hear?
Old. Action yell out 19 inch Dong
towards Bob to motivate him to achieve.
Hold action acid spray if anything else goes on.
OK, that would be Mommy's turn. Yeah, Mommy is going to try, try
this, Bob. Or like, you know, Franklin,
you're, you're gotta something just gotta, you gotta, you know,
twist, you gotta twist and shimmy and you know, you can get
your arm out of there. Don't worry.
It's all Bob now. Yeah.
Oh, Bob. It's the most unhelpful
comments. All right, that would be
Franklin with Ash on deck, which.
I yeah, I continue to hold this thing in place, right?
Oh, with fear. Terror.
Yeah. Or frighten or whatever.
Frighten and I double thumbs up to Bob.
Get him Bob, if your dreams come true.
Bob keeps in his orangish glow hue of him of spectralness keeps
floating around trying to like dart into this coffin.
It looks like from your guys's perspective and again here
Charisma got a -, 1 as well. So let's see.
Oh, oh, this time Bob makes his way, swooshes into it, and then
stands up in a perfect mimic tree of Franklin and except with
a tie and then adjust his tie and says, well, that was.
Wow, you look like me, Bob. I clap.
Just one last clap. I'm like, oh fuck yeah, you did
it. I walk up to him.
I didn't know you knew about the 19 inches I'm.
Leaving. So are we out of combat?
Yes, you're out of combat. Oh God, congratulations Bob on
his new body. I understand we're the bad guys,
but is this truly necessary? We didn't do anything bad here.
We got we dealt with a mimic, nothing bad about that.
Yeah, we upgraded, Bob. Yeah.
Perhaps, perhaps the gods were right and we deserved to be
here. Never say that I have plans for
the surface. Why are we green?
Right face the final door, look to the others and say next time
on. BBZ.
I'm going to walk up to Bob. Well, walk up.
Yeah, I'm going to walk up to Bob because he's the one with
the bow tie and I'm going to slap him on the shoulder and I'm
like, you fucking did it. You're standing.
I hope this body lasts you longer than the other one did.
I feel like you can have more fun with this one too.
Hi Mistress. And he changes into an exact
replica of view for a second and he goes, he brushes his hair
back over his his shoulder and says, I think I can think of
some uses for this. I'm like, oh.
And I raised my eyebrows at him. Going to have some fun.
I desperately want to get out of this ring of.
Hell Bob is Bob is intentionally built for this ring of hell, I
would say. I yeah, I think he is.
He's from like the thieves Guild is where you guys have found him
in like a labyrinth. Found this horny little guy in
the thieves Guild and the first time I let him roam around in my
body he had sex with one dude, got shitfish drunk and got me
pregnant. This kid has not been his or
yours. You.
Know what Vyas was a good choice of spell.
Kind of put a leash on everybody, God damn.
It. Do we want to take a short rest
or are we just kind of prepping to go right through the door
I've. Still got more spell slots than
God. I'm all right.
Yeah, I still have spell slots and stuff too.
I'm good to go. I'm going to shoot 1/5 level
Dream off before the end of the game and then I'm ready.
Also focused on our good friend KIRO Kampachi.
Oh, you're sending a dream to KIRO?
KIRO. Yep.
OK. How did?
How did Franklin learned about KIRO?
He sat at the table fucking. OK, he's got meta knowledge, you
guys are also he's. Sat at the table and.
Keeping it generally within campaigns, like I'm not doing
the like real world life stuff right now.
Knowledge from. The real world pops up and we're
like, oh fuck, I know what that is.
That's worse than our own reality.
Fuck that shit. Go staying here.
This seems like an escape from reality.
But yeah. Well correct me if I'm wrong
because KIRO is the one who was like he was the was it him or
Grand Am that was very against the undead hero.
Hero Grand Am doesn't like them but it's more of a like.
Druids generally don't like undead either kind of thing.
Right. Like, yeah, yeah.
Then I chased Hero and I gotta make.
Druid circles weird. So he's.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's more. Concerned about aberrations than
he is undead. Also problem great, OK.
Not an aberration, you're all right.
True, he's not. Worried about the elder gods
than the infernal ones. You're just looking at you,
Craig. He don't want anything to do
devils or small time. He's more worried about that
which lurks within the space between space.
Right. Oh good.
Good. Be afraid.
Be very afraid. Be very afraid.
Cool, right? I think that's it for the for
the. Seems like a good stopping point
right as we're about to enter the last section of the dungeon.
Just in time for. Me to are we?
All in bed and go to work tomorrow.
Yeah, that was a great. Great stopping point.
Yeah, thank you for running it. Yeah.
