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. Fuck you, pray.
Oh hail our Lord and Savior. OK so today we are going to be
diving into my turn at a side shot.
I'm Jacob. I am usually behind the wheel of
Grand Am and or Faust, but today I'm taking the DMC.
So we are going to be going to the land of Davergarod, which
was once a rich land full of rolling fields fertilized by the
long Dorman volcano that looms overhead of it.
These fields fueled A thriving trade of grains and beer, while
the bounty of the mountain drove on an economy of all chemicals.
Quicksilver, oil of vitriol, and other important chemicals such
as black powder were turned out of the factories of Divgrod
cities and used to be traded all over the land.
The people of Divgrod worked hard but prospered well from
their labor, at least until disaster came to the region.
It all began when the comet came to loom in the sky, a green
flame illuminating the night sky brightly and bright enough to
challenge the moon. Crops began to fail, livestock
were born misshapen, and many, sometimes 2, headed.
Many began to claim that monsters lurk within the woods
and the fields. That was two years ago, and the
problems never stopped. The people of Devgarod have
isolated themselves from the rest of the world.
Their paranoia has caused them to turn on outsiders as well as
occasionally one another as they seek out any possible 'cause
witchcraft. The gods disfavor for their
misfortunes. With the loss of divgrads, crops
and the industry, the rest of the Kingdom has also begun to
suffer for its turmoil. The king has placed a bounty.
Anyone that can lift the curse and restore the once prosperous
region to his reign will be given land and title and
compensation for their service to the crown.
It is into this God forsaken land that a band of unexpected
heroes are going to be venturing.
Driving their garish wagon, the Conundrum Caravan.
The gang of Fred, Velma, Daphne and Scooby Don't are arriving at
the southern border of Divgarod, passing their cart along a road
that cuts through some heavy woodland, emerging out into a
overlook that views a small town known as Oranik, beyond which
you can see fields of grain stretching out to the horizon.
And here is where our heroes are going to pick up along the
little dusty trail that leads into a small town that doesn't
see visitors very often. Alright, Ed, do you know where
you're going? Well, by my calculations, we
should arrive today, in the next hour, I'd say.
I know exactly where I'm going. However, we might need to stop
for gas soon. As the oinks we could.
Really. Use some more food, guys.
I'm finished. I'm in the back eating actively
out of a can of dog food. With a spoon.
Sure. Yeah, with a spoon.
So it begins, as I said previously, you are arriving
here in this small little town of Ornik.
It is, well, you, you, you just left the woods and the village
is basically right there. Oh.
OK. And we're in a van, so is there
anything? You're in a caravan like an old
like it is a horse drawn cart. You gas is going to be feed for
your horse. Yes.
OK, so as we roll in, Fred's gonna look around.
Is there any place that looks like a stop for travelers?
Is there any place that looks like like a resupply or a
general store or anything? What's?
The vibe. Oranik is your standard little
peasant village. It has well built for but still
cheaply made hovels that dock make up the majority of the
people that live here. There are several barns out
behind some of these houses. Most of the people that live
here either are farmers or tend to the farmers that work the
fields that you saw coming in. There is a single in and a
single general store that make up the majority of the services
provided here. Perfect.
So we're going to, we're going to roll on up to the end.
Question Where are we following a particular lead that led us to
this town? Like why did we choose this
town? Or is it just the one first one
we happened to stumble? It's the first town on the road
here if from the direction you came from, there's only one
other like Major Rd. into Division Garage and it leads you
to the major capital city and trade city of Corel.
But that was would have taken you probably another months of
travel to even get to the region.
Well, taking that route or Nick, as I said, it's a very little
town. Probably a couple 100 people
live here. But other than that, it looks
fairly normal. Like you had heard rumors at the
people of Divgarod. We're not exactly the most
welcoming right now, but kids wave at you as they were playing
in the streets. The people that are like coming
in from the fields as the day is going on, not at you.
Acknowledgement. If they don't greet you, welcome
or like openly like it, you don't get the vibe it is the
well off well enough off little farming village.
Like you can tell signs of hardship are around, but at
least here on the border things don't seem that bad.
Thanks. We are in the Conundrum caravan.
Have we like painted that on the side?
Is there anything that's announcing who we are?
Yes, that. Is up to you all.
Yeah, yes, please. Big flower painting on the side,
I think. Right.
Yeah, with. Conundrum Carriage.
Carriage. That's right.
So Conundrum Carriage is painted and there's flowers and like
bright colors so we look friendly.
Like I'm seeing like A2 author on caravan cart with just like
the mystery, like the the the conundrum caravan yes, on the
side. Yep, perfect.
No wonder that children like us. OK, yes, I'm going to driving.
From like clowns come You look like the circus.
The first cart of the circus just got here.
Yeah, how disappointing we're going to be.
So I'm going to pull up to the the like Tavern slash general
store area and. Stop.
All right over the end, you see a.
You see a. It is a wooden sign that's
carved to look like a pig eating out of a through of black
powder, and it's labeled the volatile pig.
Oak scoop food I smell Is there food smell in the air?
Absolutely. You smell of what I would have
call a forever Stew being cooked on an open fire coming out of
the windows of this House of this inn.
Nice to restore. Our destination.
We're here again. Velma jumps down.
Time, time to look for some food and a place to stay tonight.
So yes, we we enter. Inside the inn it's a cozy, if
simple little place. Let me do this here.
I did not make a token for our guy.
Here do have a little end map. It's what I could find for free.
We're going to use it. Ignore the blood, that's a
butcher's block. Steal a token from a different
campaign for this. Where is our fella?
I have a token in mind, but I got to find him.
There he is. You see a dwarven fella hanging
out behind the bar. He is doing the stereotypical
polishing a glass as you walk in.
Am I giving you all token control or does that something I
have to do still? I don't see a token on the board
yet. I haven't.
I guess you will have to give me tokens to like my, my, my last
campaign they just kind of uploaded their own tokens.
Like I don't do that. OK.
Hold on, I'll find one. I can put it in the.
I don't have a token. I have a picture I can send you.
Sure thing. Slap this bad boy down trying to
create one but I just opened a new tab.
Guess I'll put it in disk right there.
Gosh I can't find where you were.
I remember reading a discord message where you said what our
back story was. Yeah, we, we knew each other.
All it it was in it was in Discord.
Was it in the seclusion or reclusion?
Thing I believe I'd said we we were childhood friends that got
in trouble at school a decent amount that found out while we
were in trouble at school. Basically we got detention and
although we are from different walks of life and mindsets, we
we were because of that time that we spent in detention.
We in our we did find that we all agreed upon the enjoyment of
solving mysteries and hence so set forth on founding a small
mystery solving crew called Conundrum Inc.
So I assume that that first detention we found that that the
principal was somehow a villain. I I believe that would make some
sort of sense, or there was some sort of.
OK, so we are here specifically to try to find mysteries.
Yep. And solve them.
What the is this that you sent Josh?
What is this? That's Scooby Doinks.
It's Scooby. Don't know.
Scary. No it's not.
That face is scary. What is this?
Is he missing an eye? He's winking well.
There, you dropped one fine. I don't see the problem.
Scoop Scuba is a fine southern gentleman.
I don't know what you've been talking.
About. Yes, it is an.
Inbred southern gentleman, maybe I.
I take those. I take my gloves off at you,
Madam. Does this work?
I looked up humanized Scooby-doo.
That's creepier in my opinion. Are you able to touch the tokens
I've placed down? I don't think I've assigned them
into anybody. No, I cannot.
You have to click on them and yeah, assign them.
That leg hair. Beautiful artistic rendering.
All right. A shaggy token is great.
Oh, like. How do I tie it to a person?
Yeah, I still can't move. Right click and then there
should be like an options or properties or something.
I thought it was a double click actually and it pops up but I
could be wrong. It is double click.
Then there should be an option to like give control like a drop
down menu. Controlled by.
There you go. OK, so Matt is Shaggy.
I'm Shaggy. Fred is What's your username in
here? Oliver and none.
Olivia, Olivia and Roll 20. Yeah.
Foam and Josh, all right now I just need one more token for our
Velma. I'm spending too much time
trying to pick a phone. Very, Velma ask if you here OK.
To take it. Do you find your glasses at
least? Oh my God, hasn't lost them yet.
We haven't done anything. Well OK, I just need to crop.
This photo, just a second. If you go look and there is a
token, something called token stamp that you can just slap a
photo into and it'll just crop it into a token like the Scooby.
Don't. Oh that's cool.
Yep, did not notice. Yeah, I used this.
That's how I typically make tokens.
It's just. Yeah, it was from your guys's
recommendation. Definitely a quick editing tool.
OK. Here's Wait what?
Why did it not? What?
I said save eoinx. Save as a copy.
Velma 3. Velma 3.
There you go. Oh no, not that Velma.
Not the. Oh, is.
This this is the Velma from like the Super like offensive like.
Oh no, I don't want to thank I. Just thought it was a funny
face. OK, OK, OK, I'll find a
different one. Where they like made her like.
Like I made her into a monster. It's the very like definition of
like, like, I don't want to say that because it's such a dog
whistle, but it's the like very definition of going like so far
into woke that it's just. Oh.
Oh, and it becomes awful. OK, I will just do this one.
It's generic. It's not funny.
Oh wait, no, it won't let me save it as an image.
We can work with. I just literally.
Use this, we can work with bad velma for now I suppose.
Wait. How do we how do you use the the
snip tool? In in Microsoft, yeah.
You know, Oh, that's right if you say you don't use sniping,
right. Wait, what was that?
If you search for the screenshot tool, it'll come up and then you
just like click the plus sign on it and you could just drag it
over like a drag a box over any part of the screen and it'll.
Windows 11? Well, nevermind, it isn't a.
Problem it's not letting me drag.
So if you do Windows Shift 5. What?
What version of Windows are you on?
That might be the issue because I had this is a newer PC and I
couldn't get older versions on here.
Yeah, I'm on a newer PC. If you just type.
In Windows 11. If you just press the windows
button and then type snip. Really.
Yeah, shit. And then.
But when I go to drag it just highlights the screen.
Yes. Wait, what do you mean high?
Like it just like it selects everything and now I can't
unselect it. Does it come up with a pop up
that gives you a scissors with a circle?
No, and now I can't. Our Christmas tree gang.
OK, Windows. Windows Shift 5.
No, it just brought up a thing to.
Search no Windows Shift S. Oh, Windows shift S Ah OK.
Like we can use mean backstabbing like Ablest Velma
if you really want like it'll. OK, now I snipped it.
Yeah. It's copied you.
Paste it control control V right into discord.
Oh, I can. Just it's in my clipboard.
OK, Yep, Yep. There we go.
Is this Velma? OK?
Yeah. That's the yeah, that's the
Velma I'm used to. OK all.
Right I. Got you.
That's the one. That's the one who woke
something up deep, deep inside. Where did you put your glasses,
Van Thelma? Yeah.
Keep searching. Keep searching.
I don't like the way you said that.
So I have to use a Mac for my work, but then I use APC for
like games and D&D and so I feel like I just don't know either of
them because I've had to know. Both.
Systems. The amount of times I've fucked
up copy and paste I can't even tell you because it's different
on each one. Yeah, I get that.
Both Velma. We have a Velma.
Yeah, yeah. Thank you.
Now I need to give Velma. Control Emily.
Yep. All.
Right. And then sort this token up here
so I can remember where the fuck it's at next time I need to drop
it. When you're doing that, I guess
Scoob and Shag are. Like 1 of everything please.
Yes, and you may have misunderstood my compatriots.
Sir, I, he literally means one of everything and I squint.
That's. Listen to me, son.
And I said I would want all the bacon and eggs.
I don't mean a lot of bacon and eggs, I mean all.
The big eggs you have. That's the exact quote I was
going for. And the the dwarf will comply
with your order, which will result in you having a single
bowl of Stew. One of everything that makes a
lot of sense. I open another can of dog food
and I added into the Stew. I look over at Shaggy's bowl and
I start slowly trying to nip at it.
As well I protect my bowl like get your own man.
This is high quality dog food I. The Stew is a simple thing, but
it's been cooking for a long time and has like a very rich
broth. It's a very good Stew.
He, the dwarf, looks out the front and sees your wagons like
so. You're not traitors, he says,
pouring everybody a drink and setting it down in front of you.
What can old vitamin do for you? Fred's going to take the drink
and and pick it up and cheers him say well, thanks, Mr. take a
real solid drink out of it and, and then say, well, we're here
and like slam it down on the on the counter.
Not too hard, but like with a authoritative thump.
And we're here looking for for some mysteries.
Mysteries, yes. Well, you won't have a cordage
of those in Divgarod tell you. Oh.
Oh, you don't say? Sure.
All right, well, I don't even know where to start.
Folk go miss them quite often around here.
Missing. So long as you're not careful.
Never to be seen again. Shit.
He looks outside. That's the most of the trouble
we have here about Sunset. Faster.
Let's see, it's here in Oran. Nick Sunset's fast has been
since this all started. What the fuck is Scooby doing?
He turns. Around.
Scooby, in Scooby fashion, has walked around the bar and seen a
giant wheel on the wall and started to turn it.
Do you mind lad behind the counters for me and my?
Kids yes I I do so apologize. This wheel has drawn my
attention for some reason. I Does anything happen while I'm
turning it? Or it doesn't turn.
It turns it's. It is mounted in such a way that
it will rotate, but it is. Watch, we don't want to drive
the house. Into the Cliff.
I just can't seem to help myself with you talking.
At that. To answer your question, big
fella, it's simply advised you don't stay out past night, past
sundown. Fred's going to look around at
the gang and be like, well, what can you tell me more about it?
What? What happens you know directly?
Before or after? Someone goes missing, you got
any clues? As I said, sunsets kind of
clues, sunset kind of sunset's kind of early.
Does it just snatch up people? Maybe we could make a trap,
Fred. We don't know why people Yeah,
they just do. A trap sounds like a great idea,
Shaggy. Why don't we put you in the
middle of town when the sun goes down and we'll, all right, we'll
like put a net out so that whatever comes to grab you when
you go, when you try to go, we'll, we'll pull the net up
real fast and capture you and whatever it is that's trying to
snatch you up at the same time. Vitamir.
Sounds like a plant. Vitamir just sits there.
It's like, I'm sorry, who are you people?
Shag. My name's Fred and I lead this
band. We're Conundrum Caravan
Carriage. Incorporated.
Incorporated, we solve mysteries.
And I'm Thelma, pleased to make your acquaintance.
Right. So.
Around the what time? I'm Scoop.
I do so apologize for turning your wheel.
It was just so conspicuously placed.
I can't help myself when such things seem to be set out, but.
You came to Oronix Pacific to solve mysteries.
We're. Addicted to them, it's.
Like our crack or dog food? It's our job.
It's our job, Shaggy. It is our job, I do believe for.
Money. I love my job.
So. Much.
Listen that if. You came here to.
If you came here to get paid for solving a mystery, I have some
bad news for you. The people of Hornick don't have
much to give you, and frankly? Blow.
Jobs we're not. Fred.
Calm down. We'd actually been alerted that
the king had placed a bounty on the solving of this or or or the
like that may have been placed upon the land that is set at
barren past this area. He he cackles.
I. Didn't you've got your work cut
out for you? But I'll help you in any way you
can, lad. Especially if it means the
King's paying and I'm not. That.
We're going. To need that.
Whole pot of Stew, then. That's not quite what I.
Yeah, we can't work on an empty stomach.
I've got to make a living. On the King's dollar, how
expensive do you think this too is?
Three, that you were able to serve us.
Now do you require payment? Look around to Fred.
Well, lucky for us, I still have some money saved from our last
job so and Fred takes out I don't know what's a slow silver
like a. Bronze.
There's probably 10 copper to pay for it.
Yeah. OK.
So Fred will take out a a couple of copper and we'll slide across
the counter. He takes the coins and we'll
serve you another bowl of Stew. As I was saying, folks do go
missing around here. People will will hear something
happen going on in the night. Everybody will look out but and
the next day the Millers girl will be gone or one of the pigs
out of the pen will have just vanished.
There's no rhyme or reason to it beyond having not holed up for
the night. Sounds like a job for the
conundrum carriage gang conundrum.
Incorporated Fred, I've told you this, Sorry.
And you see Scoob proceed to eat the bowl of Stew with no hands,
just licking it up even though he's perfectly human.
Y'all are an odd lot. Welcome to Devgarod.
It's probably the only one you're going to get.
Thanks. Do you have any other news about
the general area? Well, what do you already know?
Not much. I look at scoop we're headed
towards. Where's the map?
Do I want you want me to? Never mind, you've got the.
One big city. City Coral I I I I thought
anyways. You're making your way to coral.
Coral. We're going to stop at fucking
RAD first, though. Buchengraud.
Oh OK, I pronouncing it, sorry. So around what time of day would
you say the sun goes down this time of year?
Your guess is as good as mine. It varies day by day, Velma
takes. It can.
That's part of the problem. You think if you think that if
we weren't getting caught with the sundown, people wouldn't go
missing? So what's?
Stay close to the. What is the earliest you've seen
it go down and the latest you've seen it go down?
Earliest I've seen it go down is about 4:00.
That was in the winter, last winter latest like sometimes
it'll be out till midnight. It doesn't make much sense, but.
Wow. Not so easy to pick up and move.
OK gang, so we can probably assume we're safe until about
4:00 each day. We should make plans to be to
end up camp by then. What about our carriage?
Can we stay in there? Oh yes, has anyone ever
disappeared from inside? From inside?
No, not yet anyways. How much from the vehicles?
He motions to something that's on the wall.
It looks like it's made out of wrought iron, but it's shaped
into the crude shape of a flame. Every one of us has one of these
in the home. It seems to ward off the evil
that's been plaguing these lands.
And about how? Big of space does this protect?
He shrugs. Where did you get that from?
That's from the order of the White Flame they crept.
Came up about 6 months into this travesty.
Where are they now? Their main headquarters, well
the headquarters is a big word for this fella.
They have members primary around the old division, the old keep,
but you'll find members of the order pretty much everywhere
outside of pretty much everywhere West of Toliev and.
How far is that from here? About two days travel.
OK, so again, we might want to get one of these for the
caravan. Yeah, how do we go about
acquiring one of these wrought iron flames?
The means. We're going to be out for two
days though. I lost my notes and.
Where did the I lost my marbles? The map go.
Right. Another page.
Yeah. Is it pinned in the discord?
No. Might be no.
It's like another page in the roll 20.
Put it in the journal. Yeah, if that's information we
have at least too. Do you have a map of the area?
Actually would be quite helpful. Best I could provide as one as
it stands as it stood before them, disaster.
And of the sigils, do you have some or can we acquire them?
That's my only one. They're brought around by the
Knights of the Flame as they come by.
Oh, so that they don't have a stockpile in town or something
of the like for new creations of not this new home?
Not this far South, they're much more needed further into diff
Garod. Things get worse from here.
Looks like we're on our own tonight, folks.
Tomorrow, though, we'll have to find ourselves one of those.
We're saying in the end tonight. Didn't they say they were two
days away from, Yep, the white flame people?
Two days travel to get there. Yeah, it's not.
Terrible, no. So we're at least spending one
night out in the wild. Well, there's other villages
along the way there. Got it.
They their main headquarters, as I said, is up in Divgrodkeep,
which. Is So what time is it now?
It's probably about 5, so according to his chances, him
sundown could come literally at any moment.
Yes, according to Velma. Like, we are outside of the safe
zone, so Fred's going to look around.
So we're staying here tonight, gang, because it's not safe
outside. Or do we want to put Shaggy out
for bait? To at least try to see what
we're dealing with, right? What better way to see than to
lure it in? Maybe we could purchase a
chicken from someone for this purpose?
I'm a little uncomfortable risking A-Team member before we
gather more information. Do they take chickens or just
humans? And they took.
A pig at one point. Anything that's been left out
has a chance of going missing. All right, all right, chicken
1st. Oh, I get off the table where
I've kind of like bound myself up like a stuffed bag with an
apple in my mouth. Where's the closest?
Just a chicken. Any of the farmers will probably
have one. Yeah, I keep a couple hens
Outback. Is there one you're not
particularly attached to? You don't get attached to food,
dear heart. The one that's causing you
trouble? Not laying eggs, right?
You'd be willing to let go, perhaps at a special price.
I have special connection with beasts. 20 copper and I'll give
you a hint. 20 copper. That's all ground the gang.
What do we think, folks? Sure.
Go for it. With the hole that we had from
the from the last one, I'll pitch in.
I'll, I'll, I'll pitch in five. Oh wait, do we have gold?
It looks like I have 59 gold. I don't know if that's accurate.
You should have your starting gold.
I don't. Think I did that.
Usually part of your hit your past, like whether or not you
know you chose whether it was like popper I need.
To take 2 seconds to use the restroom.
I'll be right back. All right, have fun.
I chose City Watch slash investigator.
Oh, it was that guy. OK.
But I don't see anything here about money.
I can, oh, I can choose equipment or gold, but did you
guys just do gold then? I did equipment, that's why I
only have 10 gold. So I only have 10.
Believe 10 is like the. Containing 10.
Got it. Yeah, I didn't do this.
What kind of weapon do I need? Where did that cooking pan go?
Or frying pan. There it is.
I'm going to get rid of that was 10 copper for the food and 20
copper for the chicken. I'm down 30.
I mean, I have to give him a gold.
I don't have copper. I think he's got it changed for
a gold piece. That's right over here just
whipping out gold. Do you think he can change for
100 like a dude? He's never seen more than $0.30.
All right, gang, what's our course of action?
For buying the. Chicken I.
Just don't know how to squeeze new change.
Change for a gold piece. We figured that's like $100 bill
and we're offering it middle of nowhere.
Yeah, you're paying for a 10 cent item with $100 bill is what
you're doing right now. That's all I have.
Is a gold pea Wait. Wait, how do we pay for the
food? We had to pay for the food
somehow. That was that was that was done
by also, we kind of just assumed.
This poor bastard has changed. Let me pull out my legs
standings. Yes, I'm going to hold you, hand
you a gold piece and you're going to hand me back 70 copper,
right? Because it's 10 for the food and
20 for the chicken. Yes.
OK. Perfect. 7 silver.
Do we have any Nets? We'll need a net if we want to
catch whatever this thing is. Can I have 6 silver and 10 coat
of copper? Sure, yeah.
It's a miracle he has it. Has children's like college
fund. I have. 50 feet of rope I can
make a net. Viet Amir goes out back and
we'll fetch you a hen from his coop.
The offer? Like, listen, movable rod, if we
want to like weigh down the chicken, put it inside the
chicken, right? Make the chicken.
Put a rod and slide a chicken and keep the chicken.
Alive. Maybe not, but who says it has
to be alive? If it's not alive, will the
thing take it? Barkeep the dead bodies go
missing. We should buy a couple chickens.
Dead bodies? No, they stay in the ground.
Yeah, so. Sorry guys, chickens got to stay
alive. But like what about a dead body
that's just laying around 'cause like.
Don't typically leave corpses laying around.
That's a smart health choice. All right, so then how do we can
we tie the rod to the chicken? Yeah, we should tie the rod to
the chicken. Yeah, stick the rod in the stick
the rod on the ground and tie the.
It'll probably get like, you know, pulled away 'cause it'll
be a big bad thing. But at least maybe we'll see
what it is. Yeah, tie the rod.
Yeah, we don't need to. Keep body right.
No, it's it's whole body. That's whole body.
It'll just RIP the chicken off its foot.
Oh, I'm assuming the rope will break well before the chicken's
foot will RIP off. Depends which one's more.
Or easier to break? Yeah.
What kind of? Rope is this.
I turn to the guy. What's more, what's stronger, a
chicken or a rope if pulling it apart?
Have you? Ever physically ripped a chicken
apart? I want no part of whatever it is
you're planning. You don't.
Want to RIP the chicken apart? That's that what we're trying to
avoid. You have rooms available.
Of course, upstairs. We would like.
Sun could go down at any point, we got to set it.
Up. Yeah, we would like to book at
least 2 rooms probably, maybe one.
We could all fit in one, right? How big is a room?
Let's let's find out first. I love sleeping naked.
Each room has two beds in it. They're not exactly luxurious,
but they're serviceable so you get 2 rooms.
Me, me and me and Shaggy are OK bedding together if you and
Velma are Fred. As long as he stays over there.
She points the opposite side of the bed.
We've got listen guys, I'm a team player.
I'm here for you all. We've, we've got, we've got to
keep those costs down. As you know as we try to figure
this out, we had a big windfall the last time, but who knows how
long it will be until we get paid after this mystery.
I will do it for the name of of efficiency.
As y'all are having this discussion, you can see that the
outs, the outside, the windows, the land is beginning to be
painted in the various shades of Crimson and orange that mark the
advent of sunset. As I told you, we had to focus
on the chicken. We can do the.
We got to. Get the chicken out.
As if on cue, a little girl bursts, a little dwarven girl
bursts through the door and pants.
Made it Papa. She says before walking around
the counter and she stops seeing all of you big eyes.
That's good, where's your brother?
He was just. She turns around and points
behind me. He should be here in a second.
Oh sure, the the father and whatever he said, that son sets
fast here. He was not lying.
The shadows are already stretching and the and twilight
is approaching almost as quickly as you began to notice it was
even beginning to set. It's only been about 3 minutes
since it started getting red outside.
So what your your boys still out there?
Fred, I think usually when you tell us to split up.
With that, he reaches under the counter and pulls out a wood
cutting axe and a. Torch.
There. All right, guys, we need to get
the chicken. Chicken pronto.
Maybe we can distract whatever it is that usually steals
people. That's true.
Does that thing from the from the wall dismount and Velma
points to the sigil. It's going to keep my little
girl safe is what it's going to do, he says, walking over and
lighting the torch in the little fire he has going.
But if she stays close to it and comes with us.
He gives you a look. You can't save your boy if it
gets you. Let's go gang, he might be dead
already. He gives high.
Rope to the chicken look. All right, gang, let's split up.
That's the reality of your situation, Sir, you just said.
Is the chicken out here? Is the chicken still around
back? You have a chicken.
It is. He brought it to you.
OK, All right, gang, let's split up.
Where's the rod? OK, so I'm gonna go set up the
chicken and someone go help find the boy.
Yeah, well, don't. Play You only want to use the
chicken now as bait to save the boy.
Yeah, so Fred is now going to say, OK, so Fred's going to take
the rod and Fred's be like, OK, Fred and and Velma, let's go put
the chicken with the let's tie the rod to the chicken and go
put it out in the middle of the town.
And Shaggy and Scooby and the innkeeper.
I already forget your name. Why don't you go find the boy?
All right are. We going to lead them to the
chicken. What's the chicken doing now?
We should all be. We should all be inside.
Yeah, but like, what are we doing with the chicken?
We're putting it outside. Yeah, originally to lure a beast
in to see it. Right.
Yeah. So we're going to put it I
don't. Know we're worried that there is
a child being. Eaten.
We're putting the chicken outside in view of the windows
of the keep of the inn. So is this a window?
This looks like a window is. That a window?
A window, yes. Yes, I'm going to put the
chicken like right there, like right outside the window.
OK, and then the rest of us are going to go help him find the
boy. I can't go alone.
Elma was going to go with Fred, I thought just what you said,
because it would be all right. All right, Shaggy.
Where were you playing? She's like out in the woods, she
points out behind the in and he just starts marching out there
with his torch. Begin trembling all over in fear
and follow, clutching on to Scooby.
Doing my best to make a big enough map and find the right
shit all right. Trees.
What's your What's your boy's name?
Donnie. His name is Donnie.
Like St. STANI.
And are these creatures attracted to sound We.
Have enough as creatures. Whatever they are, the sound
seem to draw them. I'm asking can we shout and be
safe? Well.
Not any less safe. I have no idea.
OK. I'm screaming in fear.
It's not shark yet. We're fine.
Gang, Gang, we're fine. I'm screaming Donnie.
Yeah, we start shouting. As long as they're still a
little late. Yeah.
Donnie and I'll. Find.
Come here, boy. I have for this little bastard.
There he is. Boom.
What's his name again? Donnie, like Johnny with an S.
Donnie. With nasty.
Yeah. Yes, Donnie.
Yeah, this is the boy's name. Donnie.
All right, so he spent some time wandering through the woods and
he is joining you with bellowing as loud as you can.
Are y'all just God Dang it? I don't know how to like how.
Is there a way to like just transfer the same tokens that
y'all had? Yeah, if you go to the other map
that you were on selecting copy. Again, like my players on my
other games just have like full control of the tokens.
I don't. It's usually done inside of the
like if you have them saved as character tokens off to the side
over there, then then they will stay controlled under that same
person, Yeah. There's a way to formalize the.
Bond delete. That ought to do it.
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. Where are you?
Huh. Donny do.
We need to roll perception checks or something.
You certainly may. Or would you like our survival,
survival, survival? You're looking for if you're
trying doing like a tracking kind of thing.
Oh yeah, it's. Extracting to follow tracks.
Yeah, and then, sorry, that was a perception.
Let me Oh, there's survival. 15 Alright.
Natural. 1. Oh.
Fred falls down the hole. Fred's never been in the woods.
This is gross. Right as twilight reaches like
it's crescendo, right before it ends and turns into utter
darkness. You Scooby.
Oh geez, is it? Are you?
Why aren't you on the fucking grid?
I would never tell you my ways, no.
Are you large? No, if you hold alt you can get
in between it and I found earlier if you hold art alt and
use the arrow keys I can get in between the grids and just stay
there. Made my way between the grids.
There we go, fix it. Break the chains.
I am in. Hear a voice coming from over
here. It sounds like a little boy is
yelling Papa. Where?
Right about in this direction
where I'm pinging. Has anyone else seen that ping?
Zoom out. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I see it OK. I do not see.
Hey gang South. I hear it from the southeast
down the down the cliff's edge, it seems like.
Should. We get some light.
Shouldn't. We have.
Isn't he fucked? Hey.
I guess because Velma's human shouldn't have dark vision.
Vito has Vito has a torch. Oh, OK.
Vito has a torch, I have a lamp. I'm gonna pull I.
Don't have like dynamic lighting stuff which would be nice, but
is Shaggy just staying over there?
No, I was taking trash. No, he's.
Oh, OK. He, he, he was clung on to me.
Once you get down here in that clearing you see see here How do
I do a spell effect that like lasts?
That does that would have to be 1 of your tokens if you have one
because I'm. What if you and haven't paid for
it? Looking for like an AOE?
No. I'm looking.
For. Just a.
Little hovering light like a little little wisp kind of
bastard. I can hold this for you for a
little while. I kind of like looking farted.
You see a light in the distance between the trees appear here,
here, and one where the voice was heard down here, just
glimmering through the trees like a lamp light.
That works. Drawing.
Drawing works. I turned it like the dad and.
I had. Like, has this thing ever, like,
pretended to be anything else? Let's go, gang.
Boy didn't. You say it's dangerous at night.
Shouldn't we turn back? Yeah.
I don't like that we're surrounded.
Oop, get spooked by the lights and run straight into the tree
where he said heard the voice coming from.
Like, do you like run into the base of the tree?
Scooby I could roll, but I was. Running you should run straight
into the trunk. All right, so Scooby's just
running into the dark. Yeah, look, there's a light like
up there too. Well, there's a light in the
direction it looks like from where the I heard the voice a
raise. Of hands.
Does anybody want to go back to the in Fred?
We can't just leave Scooby, Scooby.
We can't leave. The.
Child Vito is just standing there, his like jaw trembling as
he like tries to process what he's saying.
And you hear the a child's voice come from each the lights.
Each of the lights it's a. Different voice, but each one is
a different voice. But they're all distinctly
childlike. But they're not.
His child. They Papa all at the same time.
Fred's gonna look at Vita and be like, are these your kid?
Gang, I don't see a kid over there.
Anyways, no, no, no, no if you if hold or hold your horses.
OK. You triggered a thing bro.
OK. No, no worries.
Yeah, Yeah, You, you ran over there.
Yeah, yeah. I'll, I'll.
Hold to it as you get about
where you're standing. Everybody give me a yeah, give
me a perception check. Perception.
I have lost my glasses so not passive perception.
Oh shit. That's what happens.
I guess it could be you are active.
A natural. 20. Nat 20.
Yeah. How are you feeling over there,
Shaggy or Scooby? 30/20/20. 2/30/20 OK, yeah. 22.
That's that block I made go Dang it.
There you are. It's behind roll 20.
That's sort of that's what the issue is, all right.
As you enter where you're at, you see something moving just
out of the corner of your eye. You know how like your eyes can
like see things moving even in the darkness.
Sometimes it's pitch black to you at this point in this
forest, just like in your kind of night blind from being near
the torch that. A lamp.
But you see something gnarled with many limbs, moving all like
a stick creature along the length of the tree trunk behind
you, clinging to it in the shadows.
And then it leaps at you. Initiative.
It does not get a round of because of the people or you.
The people that see it are going to be on the same that saw it
are going to be on the same surprise round.
Anyway. That failed, did not see it.
Where is going to be surprised? Surprise.
To clarify, I have a alert. If you have alert, then you
cannot be surprised. That's very good.
All right, so everybody but Emily is going to be on this
round initiative. Right row.
Want to use my personal. Back on that one.
We are 20. Let's go. 23.
Oh, those are Nats. Very nice.
Got a 19 almost in it. I'm confused.
I have advantage. Why am I not rolling again?
It showed up over here 11 and A7.
Yeah, I know. But then it if it was 11 and A7
then I have a + 4 Wait hold on enter 11.
The seven was the 11 was a 7 + 4 and then the other one was a 3 +
4. Looks like if you hover over
them, the first one you sent over.
How to bring back the initiative tracker?
It's the seven. Oh, I see.
OK, yeah, then I get 11. I closed the initiative tracker
earlier, but where is it now? Well, bring it back out.
It's off to the left on that bar.
Map for those are the layers. There it is, OK turn order.
It's like you got to select your characters y'all before you roll
your initiatives. I'm the only one that popped up.
RIP. 19 Add initiative, add turn, add turn, add turn and add
turn. Read him here.
Hey, little boy out here, he ain't going nowhere.
Velma, you got a boy in and what'd you get, Matt?
I thought you had an Oh, you got an 11. 11 and plugged myself in.
OK, I see. And Fred got a 23.
OK, Resort. Each a free action.
I have vitamir go at the end. I'm sorry, what was that?
And speech of free action. Speech is a yeah, it absolutely
is. It's over here guys.
I found it's the stick creature. Stick creature.
Fred, you're up. Not but.
You. No, I'm up next.
And you got a 23, Fred. Yep, Yep.
Yeah. Oh OK, so that this is the
creature. Yep, ask the guy.
You see a Gray multi limbed thing clinging to the tree with
long claws. I need to the tree and he's 30
feet away. I sorry I don't know what's
happening. I can't like see I have a sword
but it's not showing as something I can use do.
You have it equipped. I guess I need to do that.
I also have a javelin. OK, what?
Else. Did a real shitty job giving
myself spells. OK, I have a javelin and it goes
30 feet, which is good 'cause that's what how far this thing
is. So I'm gonna throw my javelin at
it for 21 to hit 20. One to hit, We'll hit.
Awesome, takes 5 damage and then as a bonus action I am also
going to use Divine smite. I did something real wrong?
Can you use divine smite on a javeline attack?
You know what rule? Of cool.
It's any melee. OK.
I mean you can say no after being a target with a melee
weapon or an unarmed strike I guess.
Technically, a javelin is not a melee weapon.
It isn't, but also rule of cool. I am all for throwing a
lightning bolt of holy radiant energy.
So is the target a fiend or undead?
It is not. OK, that's fine then.
It took ten extra damage radiant.
All right, yeah. Despite its appearance, it is
not an undead. Right.
Next up is Scoob, The thing in front of you.
Scoob. It has eight eyes, all of which
are pairing, staring down at you.
It's limbs are it's got about 6 of them, each ending in a
displayed 3 clawed fingered hand.
It is clinging to this tree very tightly and its head has bent at
an impossible angle to look at you and you can see that inside
of its two wide mouth are three rows of needle like teeth.
Just a guy in a mask. You see its throat pulse, and
you hear the words Papa roll out of its wet mouth as if being
said by somebody else. I'm going to.
We didn't discuss the caller well enough earlier, so I'll say
that I don't have that just for. You, you have it.
Go for it, OK? It's not so bad.
OK, so I I pulled the caller off as a bonus action or?
Bonus action to take off armor or take off an item.
I don't know, that's what I'm asking.
It's normally you get one free interaction as an item, so like
stealing or taking out a weapon. That's fair in Pathfinder 2 E
100% be an action to take that bitch off.
But yeah, so I, I, I, I, I take it off then and I, I cast
expeditious Retreat, which would evoke my wild magic if that's
the way you want to play that. Yeah, by all means.
All right, Wild magic. It's I need the wild magic
chart. That's what I need.
I I have this one up of that wild magic search table, but
whichever 1 you want to use, it's something we should discuss
beforehand. But.
Typically a fan of the standard one.
I'm not a fan of it, but like, without having read through the
entirety of the other lists, I think I'm going to go with the
standard one for now and maybe I'll swap around as as we get
closer to the goal here because frankly kind of makes sense for
it to change sometimes. Yep.
And right 33 33 is no it's AI thought it triggered on a Nat
one. It trigger.
Oh yeah how does that read again?
Loud Magic surge. Choose Origin DM, roll
immediately after you cast a spell if you roll A1 on the
biomagic search, yeah. And then it goes up every time.
So the next time it only has to be a two or one.
You know what, I'm going to say it triggers anyways because
this, what I rolled is interesting.
I agree with you you. You start to run away and with a
pop you appear in the astral plane and what is around you is
like you've been a wild magic sorcerer for a while.
This ain't your first rodeo, being teleported to the astral
plane. It doesn't look like this
normally. Usually you're just floating
like just like you're zooted out in a field of stars.
But here it's as if the place is just humming with the distant
hum of thousands of insects. And in the distance you can see
what looks like a gigantic tree comprised of not wood but flesh,
stretching from 1 great cosmic horizon down towards another.
And as you like are floating here, you can feel that one of
its branches is reaching out to touch near you and to touch near
Devgarod. I turn because I'm astonished
and have no response to that. And yeah, you're stuck in the
astral plane till your next turn.
OK. The creature has no idea how to
perceive this and just got smoked.
It is going to get her off into the woods and take the hide
action. Wait, the creature didn't do
this? Huh.
No, the creature. Not send him to the Astro realm.
Nope, that was all mine. Yep.
Oh. OK.
So that was an intentional effect.
I kind of do kind of need passive perceptions.
Not for myself, I'm guessing. And not from you.
You're not present. Let's see, I gotta find mine for
everybody else 11. Yep.
Because this thing can hide if it's in darkness or in like semi
shadow it can just hide. 18. Hide action as 18.
That'll fail anything. Anybody got a 22?
Wait a second. Passive.
Perception. Perception.
You need like observant to get that high, I'm pretty sure, but
yeah. At this level, yeah.
Why? Is it just a value or am I
supposed to roll? It's just a value.
It's 10. Plus 12.
OK, well, the passive. And then from the darkness at
the person that like threw the Lance at him comes this thing.
It just comes clawing out of the black.
Oh, good. And it's going to attempt to
maul you, and each of its limbs is going to take a swing.
It has 6. Oh.
God. It is the same.
Creature as before. It is.
At least does it look the same as the creature before?
It does, yes, except now you can see it in the torch light and it
is horrifying. Rope. 22 to hit.
Oh Jesus. OK, that hits. 38 We shouldn't
have gone outside, gang. Now fuck this kid.
Flashing Damage +5 6 Psychic damage.
Huh. So 11 + 6. 16 and.
That's only one limb. Yeah.
Fred No, I'm. Gonna go ahead buddy.
Second attack, Sorry I got accosted by real life.
About to get real. Oh, I rolled another 19 and
that's something play your killer dice out in, so that's
another 23. That's going to hit. 369 plus
6-7 so 15 no 16 more damage all. Right.
Three. Oh my God.
Down to 12 gang and I have chain mail on.
We need a clerk. I mean, I have lot of healing.
That's a Nat 20. That's.
Going to hit. That's going to be another 20
damage. Oh, I am.
I'm down. So Fred is down.
Fred is down. Fred is out.
You got the earlier oh, death saves.
Yep. OK, so that's next turn, right?
I don't do death saves now. Who can carry Fred?
So Fred is down, and that is its turn.
Ouch. How much does Fred weigh?
Gaggy, Gaggy is up. I'll let you know in a second.
Shaggy. In the light, you can see that
this thing's body looks like it is designed to blend in with the
woods. Yeah.
Like, its skin is bark colored and like, like, the same.
It's the same color as the trees in at night.
Like it's got the same texture as the bark, but it's
distinctively like Fred can attest to it.
It feels like he feels like he's made out of meat.
It's flesh. Yeah, Fred weighs 170 lbs.
The good news is they can only do that once on off of recharge,
and it's going to take three returns to recharge.
Cool. Oh, good.
Good. Good, good, good.
You're. Welcome.
It's not doing. It's not attacking 6 times every
time. So fun news everyone, because I
took Barbarian, our only healer is now unconscious.
Oh one second I accidentally like my partner outside.
I am a big fan of the saying that the best form of healing is
killing the thing that's killing your friends.
Yeah. So yeah, if anybody has any
potions or healing spells, I remember talking.
Or not spells, but healing items.
Anyway, on to the next person. It's Shaggy's turn.
Yeah, so I'm trying to gauge what to do this thing.
Take one of us out, turn bonus action.
I guess I will rage, which in my turn means squee in fear.
And let's see, where is my wild magic?
All right, you're a wild magic. When I enter rage roll on the
magic Wild magic table. Every time you enter rage.
Every time. Do you have a different table
from the Wild Magic Barbarian or Wild Magic Sorcerer?
Think so? No, no it does not.
It should be the same one. It's wild.
It's a wild magic table. All right, looking online just
to see there is one on here. All right, you begin to glow to
white light a 30 foot radius. For the next minute, any
creature that ends its turn within 5 feet of you is blinded
until the end of its next turn. OK, I run forward and I attempt
to grapple the head of this thing.
Make it blind. Get how grapple works.
Contested strength or dex for you that's.
The strength or dex? I got a 10.
I got a 19. He is grappled.
Like beat the fuck out of the gang, that's my bonus action and
action and now I don't have any movement so I'm done.
All right, Velma. Oops, I didn't mean to click
that. Sorry, Ignore.
How you doing? That's not a bad thing to click.
I meant to open the spell to read it, not cast it.
Sorry, ignore. What you doing then there Velma?
Oh, it's my turn. Yeah.
Oh OK, well that's what I'm doing.
Unless is there, I got to make sure there's not an AOE.
No, not ignore. Not with scorching ray, OK.
OK. Yeah, it's three attacks against
the same target, 2D6 each. Each.
Yeah, each one's 2D6 and there's three attacks.
OK, well, that'll be one attack. Wait, look at blinded CFA.
Blinded makes us disadvantage on any of melee attacks nearby it,
and it has to. And if you're not like
immediately in his vicinity, it has to like find you like
anybody that's not within a certain range is hidden.
So you could roll that three more times then.
Right, so. Blinded Attack Attack roles
against creature have advantage the attacks yeah creatures that
take like disadvantage. Because everybody outside of it
is hidden from it. You have like you have advantage
on it because you're hidden. OK, so I'm typically not a
spellcaster. There's nothing on this about
like a spell save DC. There's one CDC that. 1.
Is AC? Yep.
So look at the one that's in Rule 20.
Look at the one that's in Rule 20.
When you clicked it, the first thing that comes up is the to
hit like you would if you were doing a melee attack.
You're. Making an attack?
Yep, we're scorching, right? Yeah, advantage.
So you. Have to one, it's going to be
advantage. The 16 is to hit.
But you have to roll. You have unless Jacob says
otherwise. You'd have to roll 6 times.
Well, there should be a button you can press to turn on
advantage, but. There is.
I don't know where to find that. Or you could just roll 6 times.
It's in like options. Yeah, but that also will have
like rolling the damage 6 times, Yeah.
So if you do. Just roll 6020, add your
modifier in roll 20. Yeah.
Does the 16 hit though? Are we past that?
A16 will hit. OK.
So just a SEC.
Four more times. And it's AD six or four more D
sixes. You have to you get 2 more
attacks. Like, do you have three attacks,
so you have to roll three times to hit?
You're basically shooting it three times.
You have to hit with each one. I see.
OK, so I'll just click the same button again.
Yep. Does the 12 hit?
12 will miss. With advantage.
You have. Advantage so.
That's why we said six times. OK, so the first one is 16. 16
hits, 12 will miss but roll again all.
Right. Well, the 12 would be the second
roll for the first one, right? 13 will also miss.
Yeah, it would be thirteen will miss.
Roll it again. OK, 19 will hit.
Roll 2D6. OK. 5.
OK, so which ones are counting the 16 and the 19?
The 19 and the six so it's AC is above is around 16 apparently.
OK. And I've done how much damage so
far on my two hits? You've done.
Why did I roll the extra 2D6? Because I did 7 damage on the
19th. Well, think about it.
If you roll A-19, if I If you roll with advantage and say
you're you roll two of them. They both hit which of the but
the lower number has a higher damage result.
Which one do I take? True.
OK, so we'll roll. Again, Yeah, see, we're rolling
damage separately. OK, then that five, it's
technically it's a 2D6 plus six. Oh wait, no, no, that's hit D CS
+60. I figured it out.
I figured out what buttons I have to press.
Got it. OK.
OK, so 5 damage for one of them and then do you want me to do a
custom roll for the other one? Yeah, OK.
RIP. You still have one more raid to.
Roll with, they have another raid to shoot too.
OK, so 9 damage. Oh OK, here's first attack roll.
What? No, I didn't mean to click that.
Ignore that one First attack roll is 22 OK second attack roll
with Scorching Ray just because you have to 12 so we'll go I'm.
Not seeing numbers there, but I'll take your word for it. 22
will hit. Oh, you guys don't see?
Here I just send a screenshot. For some reason my I believe
you. What's your What's your damage?
I hit the wrong button, but it's 2D6 for both the revolver and
the scorching ray, so it doesn't.
Matter. So you've done 16 damage?
OK, fire. Does fire seem to affect it?
It doesn't seem particularly bothered by fire.
Particularly bothered, like extra bothered or not bothered
at all. It's not bothered.
It's bothered by fire, but it's not like it's not weak fire.
I'm saying it's not weak for fire.
All right, let me get back over to where the initial track is
AT, and it is an old Vitamir's turn.
VM is going to make use of that axe, and he ain't going to slap
this thing. At least try to.
Baby. These dice like to roll 19
today. Where's my D8?
There you are. 8 damage. He swings and the axe cuts into
this thing's hide. That misses, that hits.
That's all right. Why did I give a, you know, he's
a retired adventurer fighter. He got to like he got his third
attack, but he's old now. Third attack.
He's like. Hero.
Yeah. He's a retired adventurer.
Like I said, he's getting old though.
It's all right. I'm sorry.
I'm used to Pathfinder where everybody gets three attacks.
So, you know, back to Fred. Freddie my boy, Give me a death
saving throw. We don't have any healing.
We're fucked. God has all kinds of healing.
I got a six. Fred.
Is oh great. That's one failed death saving
throw. Like what are we?
What? What do we do?
Medicine. Oh wait, we can use the help
action. Yeah, medicine.
Herbs. And the help action.
Yeah. What is that?
Right, Scoob, You blink back into existence.
I just stand back to reality blinking for a bit, but then.
We're treating expeditiously. Yeah, I I run towards Fred,
having known the creature was in front of me last.
Now seeing 'cause I have 40 usually so with my bonus action.
Can't run towards it with expeditious retreat and get the
bonus. The creature is ahead of you.
I'm pretty sure you can't run towards the creature with
expedition. No, it gives you incredible
pace. When you cast a spell as a bonus
action, you get to dash. Frightened is the condition that
doesn't let you run towards the creature.
Yep, I don't realize the creature's there either.
I just popped back into reality in my opinion in in my
perception right now. When you cast a spell and then
as a bonus action on each of your turns until you take them.
OK, OK. Yep.
Five, are you? Are you OK with diagonals or
five? Diagonals.
I ain't gonna picky. I ain't gonna make.
I ain't five, 10/15/2020 five, we'll call it.
It's still, it was still within reasonable distance.
I didn't think I needed it, but I ran up to Fred.
OOP. And yeah, you ascribe to the
health action or should I do a a magic or a medicine check?
One second. Yeah.
It does say specifically that it does require a skill or tool
proficiency check. Then I would say, yeah, you need
to make a medicine check. All right, plus one.
Let's go 13. Oh wait, I have healing.
You know what, for this case, we'll say that that stabilizes
Fred. OK, so when you can.
Stabilize that. That means you don't need to
roll death save one, right? It means 0HP.
You're at 0HP, but you are not dying.
I got you. I realized I have a little bit
of healing because I take the chef feet.
You take the chef feet. Is that all?
Sets your movement and was that. That's your bonus action and
your action. Yep, Yep.
And then I realized the creature's there and I'm like,
holy shit, guys, how'd you let it get over here?
I'm screaming. The thing is going to try and
hit the guy grappling him. No.
Multi attack that's a 10. 8. Yes.
And another 8. All right, I guess I'm out of, I
guess these dice are out of nine out of 19.
I'm going to have to recharge them.
And then it is going to attempt to cast a spell.
You get to make an attack of opportunity against it.
I do. Hey, anybody attacking?
Attacking a creature making a spell within melee range.
Really. Yeah, B, that would be.
No, that's Warcaster. That's Pathfinder again.
Only if it moved out of moved out of range.
Well, in that case. Wait, no Major Slayer?
Yeah. 23456 it cast Misty step, yeah, and is now in the woods.
Is it still wait? But oh Dang, I'm not grappling
it anymore because it just slides away, Yeah.
You know, because you're grappling it, I'm going to give
you an attack of opportunity. Fuck yeah.
You see this thing open its mouth and the.
I. Spell open its mouth.
I attempt to huck the immovable rod down its throat and click it
on. I don't know if that will keep
it there with the with the. I don't think they'll stop Misty
Step. Does that mean we still have a
chicken? No, you don't have a.
Chicken creature. No, you do.
You don't have. Yeah, Yep, Yep.
You don't have the movable rod because it's in the chicken or
on the chicken. Oh, that's true.
All right, well then I will take out my frying pan and I will
beat it over the head. All right, did we establish stat
blocks on a frying pan? I just saw one that was in that
was a a Bojima. Tales of the tall grass.
I would say that it's probably got the same stats as a morning
star. Sure does.
Yeah, it's just a 1D6. It's versatile, so I will swing
with two hands. All right.
At advantage because I rage. And because you melee, you have
it grappled. Yeah, how do I Emily, how did
you do the at advantage? He didn't.
She just kept the world. Twice.
Oh my God, seven and an 8. I'm a mess, OK?
I slip and fall. That was your turn.
You don't have a lot of practice with the frying pan.
On my turn I will pull out another can of dog food and then
very quickly, very very quickly in like sub couple seconds,
start a fire, hit the frying pan, heat it up, make it
delicious looking food and then shove it down Fred's throat.
So. Absolutely.
Not OK. Well, I have a Would you have
allowed me? Well, I guess the chef feet
doesn't. Let's see.
Chef Feet doesn't. Do what I have.
Yeah. All right.
Never mind. I should have done that on our
way here. OK.
I don't have any healing so that's my turn.
Oh, you were not going to run attack?
Don't want to go do barbarian things against the guy that's 15
feet away from you? About 30 feet away from.
You raging? I can I can run up there, but I
don't have. Come up, Shaggy.
Oh, I know because I had opportunity.
That's right, Right. I will I will run up to this
thing and I'm going to attempt to grapple it again.
Just seemed to work last time. 15 8 damn eight.
Oh wait, I'm raging so I have advantage you.
Do. Rage 18 back up on that.
Now I'm going to try to get onto its back and like that spot
that's hard to hit unless it's got like weird tentacle arms
that can hit anywhere. OK.
Get ready for a ride. Base of its neck.
I put on a cowboy hat. It's a rodeo.
That's my turn. All right.
Velma. Velma.
Emily, that's you. Sorry, I'm thinking.
Oh, OK. It's either 123.
Do we count range diagonally or is it just Yeah it can go
diagonally. Yep, 8 sweet 40 feet away.
OK, my gun does not. Oh, I can move that.
Gun Velma has a gun. Yeah.
In. The parlor or Elmo with the gun
in the parlor. And is this thing blinded still
or no? It is now, yeah.
Oh, it is still is OK. Well, the creature has to end
its term within range of Shaggy, but you know what?
Yeah, OK. That's AOEI don't want that.
That's he's got his resistances up, he's raging.
About those half that damage was psychic.
I'm gonna shoot with my gun. Got it.
Take a couple steps for it. Bam bam 5. 10/15/20 Wait.
Fuck him up. Thelma are the children.
Yeah, do it for the kids first to hit with my gun that does not
miss or sorry, does not hit advantage roll with my gun. 15.
That misses as well. Right on the money.
Really. Yeah.
OK. Yeah, I'm so sorry.
Or damage. Better than no damage or?
Damage. The thing is screaming at you in
multiple voices. Any languages that we would
understand? It's all nonsense.
It's clear this thing is parroting.
That's what I thought from before.
Yeah. OK, Vito Mir, if that was your.
That's all I can do. I don't think I have anything
with my Buenos section. Sorry, it's like a bad habit.
I'm just like looking at the turn order.
Vito, you know he's been the MVP so far next to Velma and keeping
it. And Shaggy, of course, keeping
it in a constant stunlock. Or like, Blunt, like constant
disadvantage thanks to the luckiest wild magic role I've
ever seen. Right.
Pretty no. Vito rolls a Nat 20.
God damn Vito he. Wants it, Get it?
The dice are telling a story today. 6 + 410.
Twenty fucking damage it. He lops off 1 of this thing's
limbs, It's going. It's going to have one less
attack. All right, Attack, miss.
Third attack, miss. Because I gave him three
earlier. He's a he's a Pathfinder
character. Fred, you're unconscious.
But I'm stable. But you are stable, you know,
just 'cause I'm a fan of it. Give me AD 20 roll.
OK or shits and gigs? Yeah, let's see if you wake up.
18. You come too with one HP.
Yay. And it is your turn.
It is your turn unfortunately getting.
Up and picking. Up your shit, is that right?
That's right. That's all.
That's all that happens. I just come.
Along you can also let you're a palate and you can lay on hands
yourself. I can so I can also channel
divinity which allows me yeah sorry lay on hands.
So I have a pool of healing power that replenishes when I
finish long rest. Whatever can restore total 25.
So it's a bonus action which I can touch a creature which could
be myself, and restore a number of HP to that creature up to the
maximum maneuver. Yep, I'm going to use all of
this. I'll use 13 on myself.
I don't know how I feel good if I feel good about having 15 hit
points, but that's cool. That's going to be my my bonus
action. I I laid hands on myself and I
guess that's my turn because I can't move right.
You have a well, I guess like I I say, standing up is half your
movement. Yeah.
So you still have 15 feet of movement.
Yes. And some week I'm going to, I'm
going to head this way and that's my turn.
What you do in there, Scooby? Don't.
Scooby don't. Take notes from Velma and with
my collar still off, take a couple steps forward just to get
that line of sight and sorcerers burst this fucker.
Damn 14. What sorcerers burst?
Like. If it's if that's an attack
roll. Oh, that's right, that's right.
Let's go do it. Oh damn it 7.
Yeah, that'll miss. Think of it as kind of like the
Sorcerer's version of Eldritch Blast.
But yeah, it flies over Shaggy's head into the tree that you're
saying. Sorry Shaggy, that's my action
and I don't really have anything else that I want to do right
now, so actually, no wait, it might be worth it.
Bonus action Unleash shimmering magic with one minute and I twin
the spell metamagic for one of my sorcery points.
You need a second target. I need a second target.
Never mind. Yeah, twinning, Twinning.
I didn't get. To 21 target and make it A2
target. I get it.
Yep, that makes sense. That was a different menu I
hadn't opened yet. I just was looking at the
sorcery points part. You want quick and if you want
to cancel if you can't trip. That's my turn then.
All right. This.
Unless it turn. Any wild magic happened during
that turn as well I. Don't believe it did?
Let's see. No, no wild magic, it's going to
go for broke on you. Big guy does a 20?
Nope, sorry, disadvantage. 10 misses. 8 misses.
Missing an arm? 13 Jesus, you know I rolled two
crits but they got cancelled out by advantage.
Thank God. Baggy's turn.
Eat it's fucking heart. Eat it's heart.
You you know what it it does. One more thing, you do hear it
yell No, Papa, don't In a child's voice.
I had a dad yo and I start. I attempt to beat it with my
frying pan again. 17. 17 will hit.
And then this is +2 for rage damage, so 7 points of damage
and I don't have any bonus action, so that'll be it because
I'm still hanging on with one hand.
Velma. Velma is up.
Sorry, I was muted. So this eldritch cannon thing,
how long does it last? Josh, do you know?
Definitely. Yeah, you summon a thing, it
exists. It's your buddy.
OK. It is your main kind of damage
source, and then you supplement it with spells as 1/2 cat, or
supplement it and you as 1/2 caster.
OK. Do we have anyone that's about
to die? Red.
I mean I have 15 head points this monster.
You. Not about.
To but. And when I summon the Canon, can
I change what it is when it's summoned?
Or do I have to wait for the next day and I summon it again
to change what it is? It's per summon.
When you summon it you have to summon, then release it, and
then summon it again to change it.
I think you have a number of summons per day.
OK. So like you can't switch it out
between turns, you pick one for the basically for the fight.
And Fred is stabilized. Yep.
He's back up. Oh, how many hit points?
15. Out of 44.
OK, I feel like we need some protection here so I'm going to
use my action to summon a protecting cannon.
OK. And then I'm going to use my
bonus action to give Fred some temporary hit points.
OK. Five.
Hey, that's something. Solid.
I'll take 5I mean. That's pretty high for, I think
that role. It was AD 8 + 3 so Max I could
have given was 891011. Yeah, never mind half of what I
mean still, still still half, but you can re roll it next
turn. Yeah, OK.
And that is what I can do. That's my action of a bonus
action. OK.
They told me, yeah. Right.
Back to the MVP of the party, apparently.
Yeah, mess. T is the best PC.
He's out of gas, Fred. This thing's looking pretty
fucked up, not going to lie. In olden days, you might even
say it's extremely bloodied. It's critical.
Habit. Just knock it out, Fred.
Oh shit. I.
Wonder how that should? Have ran fine, should have
rolled or used fine steed. I fucked up, guys.
My fine seeds dead, Yeah. That's a solid one.
Yeah, that's too cool all. Right now I know for next time,
fuck. OK, so I'm going to use.
You're you're found Steed is currently pulling the pulling
the wagon. Yeah, OK.
It would you. Dreamed of being a War Horse
riding into battle with its paladin, but in reality it's
just hucking a cart around the world.
So you're magic weaponing yourself?
Yeah, the sword. And so I have what, 30 feet?
I can go. So despite this thing.
If you go to that, yeah, if you go to that square.
Yeah, I'm going to go there. And so I've turned my turned my
long sword into a magic weapon 13 to hit. 13 will miss.
You have advantage, but it's got an advantage.
I get a + 1 bonus to attack roles and damage roles do I
have. Advantage.
You. Have advanced.
Blinded by Shaggy's glowing form.
I don't know what's. Happening.
Let's try again then, guys and gals.
Oh, what the fuck was that? That's not right.
I just wanted to roll a hit and that rolled too many.
AD 20 + 5 is not correct. Yeah, it is, at least according
to this side, the. Hit Oh yeah, I just I.
Didn't think that. Never mind.
OK, so ignore that last rule. Yeah.
So my advantage still didn't hit that 19 isn't accurate.
So I got a 13 and then I got a nine, so I didn't hit.
So you. Only have one attack at level 5?
What? You only have one attack at
level 5 as a paladin. Oh, no, you're right.
I do. I have two.
Yeah. Good.
Call. I'll take that 19.
That'll hit. I've never played a Valentine
paladin before, but you're right, I do have extra attack
whenever I take the attack. So yeah, 19 to attack.
Might as well take the advantage, see if you get in
that 2019 will hit. But OK, we'll go it again, see
if there's advantage. Yeah, no, definitely not.
OK, so but it's still hit with the 19 and then what are you
bludgeoning? Plus.
Damage, Yes. What is the long?
Board does bludgeoning damage. That's what it says, except for
it's not. You're it's coming through.
It's every rollback, yeah. But it's no, it's rolling.
It's just consistently rolling a three.
Yeah. Yeah, that's weird.
That's not right. That's the 23.
The 19 has got an 8 attached to it for.
Slashing, yeah. So just go with that.
Yeah, except it's. Would you like?
To smite it. So I get a + 1 bonus to my
damage roll. So it's yeah, it's 8 + 1, so
it's 9. Would you like to smite it?
Yes, in hen, not Jaju, wink wink.
All right, roll through. The on file demon.
Big. On 2D8.
Fix You walk up to this thing, how would you like to kill it as
you do a paladin smite on it. Get fucked.
Here I'm hearing that in Fred's voice and it's fantastic.
Makes me think of the Adventure Brothers Gang or the Adventure
Brothers Fred. Oh yeah, I.
Even forgot about that. You drive your sword down and
with a burst of light erupting from its body it just drops and
falls still with a blood curdling multi voiced scream
that rattles out through the woods.
As you are getting ready to like look down at it, you hear that
call responded to in the distance, one to the South, then
another to the east and one to the north.
Lights extinguish that pop. Those Oh yeah, all those, those
four lights are gone, but you hear those A a work like it
sounds. Each one's a little different,
but it's almost as if multiple voices are screaming out in a
single like chorus. That's our cue to exit stage
left. Yeah, run to the end.
Velma puts her hood up of her sneaky cloak and starts running.
Shaggy grab Vitamir. Can I attempt to allow the?
Odd boy. 'S head.
By gall means you can attempt to.
Or some I want I want to take some sort of like thing to
examine. Can we carry its body?
How heavy? Is it?
Yeah, it's easy. Then I'll carry it.
It's like person sized. Yeah.
Grab Beat a mirror. All right, one of y'all give me
his. Feet, you grab his arms.
One of y'all give me a number. Between 1 and 100. 37.
Just one of you. I heard 27, yeah.
That works. 27 OK. I'm assuming the way back to the
places where we first bonded, which is right here.
Who has the highest passive perception out of all y'all?
I have an 18. Yeah, I think it was Shaggy,
surprisingly. I got alert that's why.
Has you been down to pick this thing up?
You see a hole like a Fox's hole, or a Burrow like we'll
call it a Burrow, And you can see like in the light of your
brilliant illumination, a small dwarven boy in a hovel like it
curled up in a ball down there, big eye down, way too scared to
like, move. OK, I, I, I attempt to get to
him or pull him out or come on, boy, this is like, yeah, as you.
Try. Or I'll try to persuade him.
Yeah, Vito grabs your shoulder like, shoves you to the sides,
or at least tries to to like, look in the hole.
Oh yeah, I see him and I'm like, Oh yeah, that makes sense.
And I step out of the way. He grabs his son and you all
just run back. The boy is staring at Shaggy
with big eyes like he thinks you're.
Like, let's go eat, guys, and I'm pucking this thing with me.
Horrifying. We did.
It did. It.
We survived the first encounter. And you make it back to the end,
no trouble. What happens when we walk inside
with this thing? You see its skin beginning to
like, bubble and pop. Oh, a step back outside.
Old iron. Oh, like the cold iron flame?
OK. The Curry, leave it outside.
Yeah, I'll, I'll like, I'll prop it up in the doorway so everyone
inside can see it. This is like what it is, guys.
And then I huck it to the side. Who's got dinner?
That still sounds great. Behind the counter like.
Vito's daughter, as soon as you walk in with this thing,
screams. Yeah.
And then runs upstairs. We tried to unmask it but.
Vito goes and puts his son down next to the fire and looks at
the lot of you. Take your fucking copper back.
You. You're staying here for free you
fucking weirdos. Does that mean this this this
this? Shoe was up.
Eat. It's the least I can do.
Glad law. Good.
Yeah. And we kind of have a guess of
what we're facing. As the as the as the as the
screen fades to fade, fades to black.
Fred, did you check on your chicken?
And if that's where y'all want to call it, we can call it
there. I've still got a couple hours in
me but then it's almost time for y'all isn't?
It yeah, now is a good time to call it.
If, if, if welcome. To the land of Dip rod,
everybody. Oh, dying wasn't enough.
That magic wild or that magic wild magic wild magic roll.
Saved us because like if it. Was doing if it was doing that
much damage basically every round.
And and. It had done few crits, but it
did 2 crits in a row at one point.
Yeah, so are you familiar with the step block, the star Spawn
mangler? No, yeah, I am.
It's I am. Step blocks.
I base this creature off of it. I just added a couple things to
make it a more dangerous solitary predator.
What was the the the inspiration Black called?
The star spawn mangler I can send you the stat block I have
here plus the bigger meaner version of it that I have.
Well, don't. No spoilers.
Well, the bigger, meaner version, it's not something you
will be facing. It's something I made for Rick
one time for his job. Montober.
A Montober. This.
Is cool. I look forward to a cosmic
horror and I I want to see how all of our very cartoony
characters come out at the end. Not well, I'm going to.
Yeah, anyway. If we survive, I'll.
See you all next week. Yeah, and Sesh, have a good one.
Go have fun. See.
You guys, absolutely. Bye.
