Hello Fair listener. Welcome and thank you for
following our journey on metagaming Byram, propelled
gaming, fair warning. Sometimes we are not safe for
work and others not safe. For real life, Journey forth at
your own risk. Now, let's dive right back into
Tara through the campaign, many polos.
Fuck. Are you playing?
That was beautiful. The two, the adventure is known
as the shadow Seekers braved, the mangroves of the, which to
the West. In the fifth level of Hell ruvik
discovered during a drinking game with 2 N that the, which to
the West holds two keys to the locked door of the Acropolis.
Rebecca also learned from the aten that the Witch of the West
mentioned, something about a demon inside, the Acropolis who
she could commune with to escape hell, terrific.
Relays the info to Vampira, Mommy and Frank Franklin who are
the only ones conscious at the AL?
At that time, they decide to venture forth into the Wicked
Witch of the West's Mangrove carefully picking their way
through the swampy. Ground the group of Shadow
Seekers are set upon by Dire crickets 6.
Dire crickets to be exact this. Six of these large dog sighs bug
swarm, mom. A, who is carrying a torch while
invisible, the hostiles subside, with the hostility subside with
the diacritics, Twitching dead. And in a pile of eggs left over
from the tussle in which Mommy and Franklin jump into the Heap
of eggs, smashing the eggs with gusto the to feel a burning
itching sensation across their skin.
Mommy heard Lee, retrieves, magic, mangoes and basil from
their Satchel to devour it, relieving cooling sensation
washes over them as minor scrapes and B.
Begin to mend meanwhile Franklin tries a different tact and
befriends the bugs inside of him in.
Exchange for a sandwich, throwing throwing a brutally and
discussed vomited and ruvik runoff into the mangrove.
Let's see what happens this time.
I hello, but if you like popcorn inside be I'll nice and I was
napping there during all of these fun activity.
Yeah that was all just what happened last time so the last
thing that Ash you remember specifically you were at the
door with Franklin and Thomas grey Maxim the third and mamé
and you'd cut down a tree and tried to enter the keyhole all
that way. That didn't quite work out for
you guys, but I think Flint the last thing that you remember.
So you weren't you weren't there during that session if I
remember correctly. You that's the last thing.
You remember was actually, oh, jeez.
That's that's racking my brain here.
Let me go back through. Yeah.
It's been a hot minute since Flint's been here.
Hmm. Hoodlum.
I mean if it makes you feel any better.
I don't even know where I'm at. Laughing confused.
Yeah, the last that was here last week and I don't even
that's the thing that Flint remembers is fighting a giant
dwarf. That was flame through
flame-throwing, the hell out of the party.
That you have been a hot minute. That that was the last time that
I believe Flint was along with us.
And wash time I was with the party.
Yeah, I know. Right flowers.
I was like last time I played, I died.
And where you were saved. Yeah, yeah.
That was that was all the way back in Halloween or also don't
worry. We're still in the same spot on
the map. Yep.
Yeah, you guys are still made mostly at The Alehouse.
So in all of that shit happened are still at the house.
Oh my God. No, and that.
That is the case. Especially for ash currently
blind and grizelda, who are all waking up there?
And you get figured out there Josh.
Looks like you're showing up on the bottom of my screen now to,
but you're logged on and it seems like you are able to move
your character around so badly where to move it to or whatever.
I'm just like see, you know, age and some candles and a compass.
Yeah, that's exactly right. You're seeing a good bit of
stuff on a table. It seems like a table.
You're realizing only because of all the stuff that's resting on
it and its Higher than anyone that you would have imagined
possible. Because you're standing on the a
map that is easily hundreds of know, 5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30 35,
40, 45, 50 device 60m, almost 3/4 of a hundred feet crust,
basically, and your each of these squares are five feet just
for your reference and there's some large dice, some large keys
Large books, large, candles, large money.
All sorts of things that are larger than life setting on this
table and only thing written on those top piece of paper that
you're standing on. You kind of read is tarus the
path unfolds, hmm. But I'm not sure what you're
doing with any of that information.
I like this is where I started out.
Yep. Oh okay.
Okay, so I'm not messed up anywhere.
So obviously I've just woke up and have no idea what the hell's
going on, right? Exactly.
You Alice. In Wonderland into this point?
Part? In point in time, you have you
fell down a rabbit hole somewhere.
And you have no idea how you ended up here.
Yeah, definitely party too hard. Last night.
So carrot half unfold. So like in my line of sight, I
can see that there's another page underneath of it and
possibly another page underneath of it with writing as well,
right? Okay.
If this page is that large, then I should be able to read at
least some of the writing. That's underneath of that third
page, you were looking at it and let me have your languages that,
you know, handy, I can look at it real quick.
Yeah. Khakhra.
Abyssal RN Celestial and common. None of those languages match
this one currently. So you are, I'm sure what this
language even is. Okay, so I'm on a giant table.
Are you looking in any sorts of directions other than on the
table? Doing anything else.
I'm looking looking towards the candles and wondering what might
be in the direction beyond the candles, though.
If you're looking off to the east side of this area that
you're looking at, on the table that you're on, you would see
slight slightly behind them. Some twinkling lights that would
follow up into the sky and you're looking around and you
kind of look up to following that train of thought.
And you see that the above you is just this ever-expanding.
With a bunch of twinkling lights that you can only assume is the
largest and most profound night sky you've ever seen.
Wow. So I'm on a table in the middle
of nothing. Is that basically what what
you're telling me then and would receive it.
Ours everywhere. Wow.
I'm going to. Try to peel this top page back
because it looks like there's a map underneath of it.
There is you, you peel the top map up.
And if you go to your on the right side of roll20, there's a
little thing that looks like a newspaper.
Almost, if you hover over it, it's a journal and scroll down
to handouts and this one's actually in Lala place but it
should be visible to everyone and there's a map there called
tarus Globe, Northwest Hemisphere and that's what you'd
be seeing on that particular page as your peeling it back so
far as the world as we all know it currently.
Okay, I got it. Try to zoom in here.
If you double click on it, it'll make it large.
Okay, I got it. So there's a huge World
somewhere but nowhere in my sight.
All right, there's out there. I see that Socrates Italy
sprinkles gargant fannia gargantuan mmmmm, metal mirror
Crystal Tower of zenith Babylon. Rubik Quan Byzantium.
I'm stunned. Grunt.
Yeah. Yeah some of the places we know
about on tolerance so far and some of them, you might be
feeling the blanket in there for, but right now, Doing
anything else on the table. Get this off of here.
I really don't know what else to try to do.
I would say then, what would happen in this particular
instance to is we are looking at that map and as you're staring
at and at wherever it is that you found to be home on that map
that you kind of recognize slightly your vision starts to
truncate and shrink. And they're just this kind of
like focusing in on that point and you can't see anything else
past it and then eventually that Winks out to and you feel almost
as if you're floating and a void for a bit and then you feel a
sudden compression around yourself and a and and then a
relaxation and then a sudden compression again and then a
relaxation and then you feel almost of there's maybe some
sleep, some other liquids, Around you and in trying to put
me out. Oh shit.
I was at the right spot then I didn't back out again.
There we go. Whoop. and then, I switched Maps
should have everybody be able to see some stuff now, I think.
I can, I can see it's just kind of great.
Yeah, yeah it might take a second to load the map is all
but so, the next thing you realize is, there's this Really
neon purple light ahead of you and you burst forth into a very
gross smelling place that just smells of ultimately death and
Decay almost swimmingly. Sickeningly sweet as you land on
it, almost on your belly. In, in a you're looking kind of
around it, in a Tavern. It looks like of quite a lot of
CD, folks, and you look behind you and behind And you is a
floating ghostly form with no real form to it to speak of
other than some floating tendrils around it in a mouth.
And surmise that it looks like you came out of the mouth
because it is slowly closing to a normal more normal shape of
you. That's what's crazy.
Is I got to say Josh, I take great offense to the smell of
death and Decay description. Hey, you know I'm trying to go
on other peoples regular senses of it.
You know. All I can think of was like
noseblind is all. Yeah.
Well when you said like sickly Sweet Death and Decay smell all
I was having flashbacks. Possess fucking backpack.
Yeah. But you do see flint and
Griselda and Ash who are waking up.
Also at the same Same time, this our quota and their wings just
out of the ghosts mouth onto the alehouses floor, in a o is spelt
ail. No. and it's definitely a sign
or two in the place denoting this such, as you're going to
look when When I come to, I'm just going to look over it Ash
and be like, holy shit. What, how did we get here sa?
I'm looking at everybody and I'm hearing them say that and saying
that I have no idea. How did you guys come through
this ghost? Like I did.
Last. I remember.
I was being strangled by a mushroom, like a flower or
something. And as for Mame and Rural sun'
art, dang it. I seen Rosen first, Mame and
Franklin, you're standing in the forest.
Watching the other two friends run away that were vomiting into
the forest. So you're the only two
companions left that went this way.
Oh I kind of look over it. Mommy, all it over there.
Going I don't know, but you future, you should not run away
from your companions, though. Dead retching.
You should eat some willow bark baby.
Like willow bark, tea. It settles the stomach.
Do you think this Witch's House is made out of candy?
It could be. Well, should we go back or
should we go forward lead with our best foot stick my right
foot out of the mud. I think we should follow our
companions because splitting the parties.
A bad idea splitting the party. I take out my notebook is a bad
idea. Noted stay with your companions
and don't split the party. That is why.
Wise, advice, only bad things happen when you split the party.
All right, so back this way I supposed.
Yep, come on, guys, we're going back to the place and all the
little, like, bugs that were like skittering around the
floor. Kind of crawl back up into my
shell. Hello tickles.
And I start skipping. Josh is this Cavern that like we
originally like popped through at yep.
Like from where Loki put us. Yep.
I'm gonna look around and just kind of make a mental note and
like, remind myself that like Loki fucked us.
And like, I still, we still need to find him. inside the bar to
just as a reminder, it's mostly filled with Dwarves except for
for some reason, there's a crocodile that crawls past you
Faulkner and curls up kind of in front of the two companions that
are still back-to-back. Kind of looks like they're on
the floor sitting. so, I'm going to like, Not even like thinking
twice. I'm going to lean forward to the
Croc look into its eyes and be like, Bob you just hear it but
I'm gonna kind of Nod and patted some Pat it on its head and be
like, I'll take that as a yes, it smells into the hand like
Okay. Is it like an overly friendly
nozzle? Oh yes.
Okay, then I'm gonna not be like, yep.
Bob Can I look down and see if like whenever I was healed or
whatever? If my hand is still like gone,
it wasn't gone if I do. And when you're looking down on
it, there is still no skin on it, the bones behind.
Well yeah, okay. Yeah, keep that out of the dogs
reach. I'm gonna kind of examine it and
shrugging me like, oh well, that's character.
And like kind of brush myself off and like get up off the
floor. No, it down.
Is Ash still asleep. I don't know what you doing.
Are you guys on? Oh, I don't see anything.
Controls are still in love. Yeah.
Yes. I just know she's I was muted
the whole time. I was talking talking and shit.
She stepped away, okay? I was looking around.
Do I see anybody else in here? You see, Flint over here who's
waking up and you see Warren across the way with where
somebody that looks sort of like Warren.
Maybe you're not real. 100% sure if that's actually worn or not
because there's seems that they seem to be wearing a top hat and
their top hat is face down like their, their, their face down on
the table. They're not a fucking name.
Is he going by today? I'm kinda looking like that
direction. Me, like all cool, we caught
back up with him. and then, I'll just step over Bob and like walk
over to Hamilton when Flint. Yep.
And be like, hey, how the fuck did we get back here?
Your guess is as good as mine less.
I remember we Drink it away. Killing dwarves.
And now here we are. I'm not until I go.
We fought the doors already. Yeah, you don't remember the big
mechanical one. No I remember I killed by a
flower no. Yeah last time I remember is
fighting a big mechanical Dorf. No.
Okay, sell top-shelf stuff here. So, what's the game plan now?
Where's everybody else? Yeah, I'd say the next thing we
need to do is regroup with the with everybody.
We're too deep. Inhale to be going it alone.
I see Bob's our crock now. I don't know how long it's gonna
take for Mama and Franklin to walk back to the Alehouse
because I'm assuming that's where all my run ruvik went.
But at some point middle walk through the door.
Okay, just go ahead and walk through the door.
I would say. That's what you as you say that
Griselda mommy walks in and you look back to and you see now in
your different position from where you were because you were
back-to-back with Ash. Now you see looking back at Ash
to has a baby On the outside of her, in a satchel.
Because the last time you remember she was very bright.
I don't like look at it, not look at flint and like, kind of
motion and be like Should you go?
Maybe. See if your kids hungry.
Yeah, sure. If we arrived.
Yeah, me made. Did you jump in the bugs with
me? Yes.
So we're both head to foot covered.
In bug juice. Yes, oh yeah.
As we walk into the as we skip gleefully, I skipped Leafly long
next. You into the tavern.
Wow, that was really fun. Mom, ate walking in, as you
recognize and a turtle. How tall are you Franklin?
By the way, about four feet. That's what I thought.
I kept imagining a lesson for a little walking skipping into the
bar. Our with Mommy because I don't
think Flint or gazelle to have met you yet.
I feel accomplished. I'm going to lean over to fling.
Kind of Nod towards mom and be like, looks like we're still
picking up Strays. I guess down here I guess, you
know, it just be careful with this one.
He takes everything you say, literally.
I had Frank word. Can I kind of like, can I judge
like Franklin's age? Probably like looking at him
probably say rolling in sight. Yeah.
And Josh you're free for you. I know you're still getting into
it to hear but jump in whenever you like you're experiencing
this all in real-time all over happening around you.
You're probably also very shocked having just burst forth
Faulkner from a ghost mouth but that's the the just let you
know. Thank you.
You're quite sure that it is, you know, not full adulthood at
the very least although You're not 100% on you know the full
anatomy of a turtle. So you're kind of curious but
because you but you've seen bigger ones, you know, I'm going
to kind of like, look at Mommy with like a puzzled look and be
like to have a child. Are we the babysitting group
now? My dad sent me to become a real
bad Ed. Well, I came out here and well,
here we are. But as a but I pick up a got of
my show and eat it. Good bro, Tade
How old are you? Well, yeah.
Well, it's hard to guess of Woodland terms.
We are really have ages but I'm probably, you know, the
equivalent of about 13 here, cubed years, 13, 14.
If you're a human, had a know what you are.
Hi. Um so for Zelda is who's talking
to you? So in front of, you know, your
child eyes, you see a very kind of Elvish looking woman, but
imagine like A zombie elf like very, very sickly looking.
Very like pale, like, very pale with like green sickly
undertone, and like white hair and just like, very like dead.
Sunken and features. Wow!
And I'm gonna reach my right hand out.
To give you a handshake. And when I reach my right hand
out, it's all bone with just like Starting at the wrist and
going up. Like steered like, I don't know,
necrotic looking flesh that like, Fades into the normal,
like sickly green skin tone. Wow, I reach out and I'd clasp
your bony hand with both of mine Shake vigorously.
And as I do, all of the little like maggots and like crawly
Critters from inside of my she'll come out and like also go
to shake your hand. It is very nice to meet you.
I've never been a dead person before.
Well, that's not true. Would buy Grandpa died.
I saw a head but he wasn't talking like you're our kind of
laugh and shrug and I'm gonna wear you board.
This way, check out the hand and put it back onto yours.
And I'm like, oh no, I wasn't born this way, I died.
Oh wow. What's it like I mean, kind of
shitty, I get that. I'll do just like, get
decomposed as like, Bora Bora as your age.
Are you going to eventually just to be skeleton?
No, this was just a work-related accident.
It seems to work fine. So like you know aesthetically
if you want to be a skeleton, you could.
That'd be cool. I mean made me that would be
pretty funny. Just a skeleton is it?
I said you were Enemy was. Whoosh, whoosh, gone, whoosh
approved. Wizard occupations occupational.
Safety hazard, whoosh. American part of the article
Crow. I'm standing here too and I'm
going to reach out to same hand. It's still got one or two tiny,
your creepy crawlies that have lingered that you'd Miss
grizelda. I would say I'll pick them up
and set them back on Franklin. Well thank you.
Why do I keep your bugs to yourself?
Of course. I'll I just got up so I'll teach
the proper manners. Would you like a glass of milk?
I'm going to go grab one. No, thank you.
I can't drink by God. Does Faulkner have a response
for Griselda? Greeting there?
Oh yeah. Hello.
What did you say that? Your name was Griselda.
Zelda. Nice to meet you.
Interesting that you ended up in this state.
You want to tell me what happened.
I don't know. You don't know.
I know, I died. I know.
I came back. I don't know why I died.
Mom. No.
I know why? I don't know why I came back.
Okay. I was A cleric in my home and I
was a I was at the temple. Hmm and some bad guys attacked
and I died. Well, that's not good but then I
just I don't know. Woke up in the round.
One day. You want to describe yourself a
little Falcon. Oh, so that everybody knows what
they're looking at other than An arc Roca.
I think there's more to might be more to it from your side.
You know how tall, what color anything else?
Yeah. Yeah because it definitely like
is not how I would have pictured it in the game on the screen.
Yeah. Yeah.
That I had that one or a red one to choose from.
I can find one that's better for you whenever you or if you find
one that you'd like me to use, just go ahead and send it to me
and I can I can work it up to okay, I got you.
Let's see here. I actually do not know how I got
here. Myself felt like I was being
shit out of this giant creature but it couldn't be what was
actually happening and then ended up turning out that.
By the time I popped out, I was in front of this ghost and I'm
just here in this tavern. Trying to figure out everything
that's going on. You know, I was just out at a
party with my friends, had a little bit too much woke up on
this giant. Table.
Now, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
Power. I'm watching you.
Sorry. Hope yelling at my dog and the
other thing that you see other other, you just realizing Falcon
a to is that around your neck for the first time.
You realizing you'd acquired some jewelry that seems to be
matching these companion, possible companions around you
that it is in the shape of a torque necklace on on on your,
on your neck. is it looks like a torus pork Court t 0 RC I
wouldn't eat your pizza. Somebody liked it, oops.
Sorry. Johnny said, sorry.
You're muted babe. Because I'm it wasn't her who I
see that you're wearing. Do you know anything about
these? Oh, they're from this douchebag
Manny. Manny Yeah, I don't know.
He's some fucking ice table. God person, he's an asshole.
I stable God, I'm gonna kind of, like, tap my torque and be like
here that Manny. You're still an asshole.
Boy, you can lick my asshole, any day, Griselda.
Oh yeah. And that's the response you hear
coming from all torques, including your own like no, no,
ashes. The one that does the licking I
forgot about that. That's right.
Hello Flint. Will chime in be like can
confirm. Hey now sir, you've got your 18
year, prison sentence because of that.
So maybe you should calm down there.
Well, I thought she'd get rid of that thing.
I'm still holding it. I'm holding it right in front of
you. That's strapped to your chest to
head. Yeah, we have a two-headed, son.
Are you excited? I'm gonna whip around and like,
take a closer look and be like. Take another shot.
Write a constitution. Is your the father?
Congratulations. One for her.
And one head from me, your guess is as good as mine.
All I know is I was being ripped open and this ghost, sir.
Helped me give birth and everybody got drunk around me at
the noting of the baby to. It seems to the baby's, re
taking note of themselves seemed to start kind of like whimpering
and you can tell from just a mother's intuition that they're
hungry. And they're about to start maybe
crying and I've had every yeah, very aggressive attack, and I go
to sit cross legged on. Well, I guess I'm just going to
hide under him, but I'm gonna sit cross-legged on top of bombs
back, and just whip out a boob and start feeding them.
I guess what? About both?
Since they're stupid. You can roll that mothering
skill. You made there.
Okay. Okay.
And 1101 for a second that would have been awkward but they both
latch the second time now. Well enough and you guys are
watching a two-headed baby suckling at the at their mom.
While Franklin, you turn around and have two glasses of milk
yourself in hand from one of the It was too would come up to you
at their request for milk and giving you two mugs and filled
it up with their tendrils. Just into the mugs, like, you
just walk up to the group and I hold what out.
And I offer it to the group at large as we all watch essay.
Wow. Nature is a basic, huh?
Anyway, we were just our witches house for almost there.
Oh, so you found where the witches are?
Yeah, I lived out the way. I don't know if their house is
candy yet, so don't ask me that we'll find out.
Hmm, you want a candy house? Well I do all the stories that I
have read that the witches, the always little caddy houses.
Edge Badgley, that'd be nice. Yeah.
If they're witches so that'd be
bad joke, right? I kind of like do like a little
thaumaturgy prestidigitation thing.
NG they have magic candy houses. Don't question them.
So you make like a rainbow in the air with your hands magic.
I've never let a witness that just blew by my side.
Did you guys happen to learn the which is named?
I mean I'm pretty sure. Yeah.
Did we do know we didn't we need to go back and Maybe we'll find
a witch in a candy house, but all signs indicate the meeting
the which will be good for us and our estimated key secret
key. I look at the new guy and all
the other people, if I'd a secret key, that's what we
needed the, which has it. I think I'm gonna turn and just
walk up to this random fucking person right here at the bar.
Yeah. And be like Hey Jimmy.
I think about the witches that live around here.
Oh yeah, I what's her name? Which one the one in the west.
The one in the west I that be which Miriam melani thick
maleficium. This is a guy who's on first
situation is this name, ring a bell with me.
Josh. He's straight check.
That's huge. 22. You.
The first name was said, doesn't doesn't rhyme, but as this met
maleficarum is said, you're, you're like, did she die
somebody? You killed her.
But, you know, that she was a powerful witch from a long ago
that it's a lot of the doctrines that you knew of from,
especially of the darker nature. We're quite commonplace around
your area where you were. Were you were studying learning?
Yep. I'm gonna ask him if he's ever
heard of a witch named Talia. No, I tried to stay out of the
width, which is business as much as possible, but we have to, at
least acknowledge them around here, the to anyhow.
Just because, you know, we ain't gonna we won't, we won't, we
don't want to get mixed up in their sort.
What's the other witches name? Ah, that'd be This is a bit
confusing because I think it their sisters, but it's Assyria
a flan. Does that ring any bells to me?
I could roll another history if you want.
Yes, please. That's a 16.
Similarly, the first name doesn't seem to ring any bells
but the, the last name is Does. But she had more to do with a
lot of more natural magic sand witchcraft when it came comes to
Nature and the use of it in medicines and such.
And and she also was part of a coven with my Mela 50mm and and
a third one that you kind of its kind of at the tip of your
tongue but you can't quite remember the name of her because
she wasn't, she wasn't as prolific in the writing circles
and I roll another history to see if I can remember, who
killed the witch that we're trying to go see.
Yeah. 14. you believe it had to do something with some contracts
with the Less than Divine sort being that of devils and such,
because she was in the darker Arts of things.
And it had to do with some sort of contract, she must have made,
but the the histories weren't to clear, just because it was a
mysterious mystery almost of how exactly she would have died.
They just know that she was strong and she was nearly in
Mortal as far as they were concerned with her powers and
until just one day, there was there.
There were some strange markings in her house.
You let pointing towards devil And L being involved.
But that was it. I mostly just trying to like,
kind of remember and see if I can remember if like Talia had
any bad blood with them, or if she was on good terms with them
or if she even had any Mike interactions with them.
I don't know specifically how old Talia was, but I would
assume no. He would never actually put that
much thought into it. Yeah, I mean me, neither and
that got regard. I've been coming up with all
this on the fly. So I would say for all intents
and purposes, she probably hadn't had much dealings with
them. Especially 0 on the personal
level. Okay, can we?
Talk about later. Sorry so alright I just was
trying to make sure like one Griselda really wants to find
Talia because she just kind of disappeared but also like I
don't want to go in like this like which is house and start
asking about her and the, which be like, fuck that bitch like
you and ruin chip for us. Yeah, no I get you.
Dd-do you portray any of that information that you've learned?
Yeah, I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna tell them like, hey, so
the which to the West her name is something that I can't
remember. Nephilim Mariah maleficarum
maleficarum. Chi.
As far as I knew she died. Hello.
But I mean that's the way that she would be here where we've
been down here for a while and like he died when I was like,
Newly ish, Resurrected. I asked you, I don't know.
So they're not coming back. Like how you did then, no coming
back. Like I did requires a special
kind of magic. Hmm.
At least, you know, we don't have to fight her.
Your house is abandoned. No, I'm gonna guess she probably
lives there, considering we are in hell, that's true.
You just say we're in hell, Yeah, metaphorically.
Yeah, no, no, literally speaking.
Oh, wait, did we, are we dead? Yeah well I guess we guess you
know including yourself because obviously I mean I'm not dead.
I'm standing right here. But Undead Dead.
I got it. I think really hard.
It about what I was doing right before I came here.
But yes, we are quite literally in Hell the think real hard and
try and remember what level we're in.
Ninth. No.
What level are we? Check our documents.
I'm pretty sure it's five eyeballs in Hell, huh.
You weren't? No good elevator.
How do you have a lot? I'm just.
Oh, the fifth level of hell. Wow, already at level 5.
Good job, guys. We're fucking champions.
So are we tried to climb like what's the ultimate goal?
Are we are, we are climbers. We have to find sexy, Satan.
Well, hold on, sexy, say that. He's got to be a little. 69
right now is on level 68. That way, whenever you're done,
you say I owe you one. Would you like to go to 69?
Should we order the Witch's House?
Yes, I think that's a good idea. We can show you the way God but
some of the others got really sick.
Would they got to close? I don't know why the bugs crawl
out me out of the show again. Your little popcorn bucks?
Yeah. Anyway, it's just out there.
All right, let's go the way I hop off the three.
I'll her out and say, wait, hold on.
Yep, how are your survival skills?
Survival. I've got a plus for I just want
to make sure we go right away and hopefully avoid more bugs.
Are you sure you want to avoid the bugs?
I have a plus 4 as well. So they need I am find out of
with the bugs but I just worry for the bugs yell.
That's that's fair. Anyway, out.
The bugs did not come well out of this.
They're ending was not well. Okay, anyway, let's go see that
by the, we both have plus 4 Waveland.
You're just to describe that one shot, two shot situation you'd
had before you. You're buzzed currently.
You have the you felt the warming liquor that was brought
forth from the ghostly 10 jul. In the drink that you had with a
nice kind of cinnamony aftertaste burning its way down
and you get a nice Buzz going. All right, you'll have
disadvantage on dexterity checks, but you gain advantage
on strength-based and Charisma. Sounds like me in real life
right now is Put it away and put my girls away and follow.
Everybody else, they seem say seated by the the feeding time.
And they've the first head nods off before the second head, and
it still keeps going for a little while while everybody's
talking. But as your, you know, wrapping
it up, they start to nod off Softly As you rocking them and
you're putting away your boobs. The lashes.
Thingy. Still out here, Carriage.
Yes, the carriage is still on the top of the tree.
With a mostly decaying corpse. It looks like.
And as you guys do, walk out there is a buzzard just calling
at you. Like, why don't you and eating
the what is left of The Coachman Nature is a basic for rothbard.
He was so loyal. He was okay. so, I see Brazil de
and Mommy, I've made it out and somebody everybody else is
trying to figure out a door. There it is.
It's open now walk through a few Gator out.
Holy shit. I only see gray, are they?
That are sitting against the door?
Yes, there's giant creatures that are leaning up against the
tavern, making the wall sort of flex in, as they're leaning it
back against it with in their chairs.
But they're mostly still kind of inebriate heavily needed.
You can tell of the two heads that they have only maybe.
So a total of four. Only one of them is actually
seeming to be conscious and it's only keeping its eyes open as
like a watchful gesture. It seems to be like I'm gonna
look at them and look at Ash and be like is that what your baby
is going to look like? I mean, I don't, I don't think
so because like one head is obviously changeling and the
other one is water going to see. No not water.
Going to see a familiar as a mere.
Yeah, yeah. And of the, the two heads, their
eyes match, you know, the their parentage, okay.
So I think blind you have golden eyes if I remember correctly and
Ash head kind of a grayish. Now that was your skin to oh,
was that your eyes too? Yeah, I have like white hair.
Blue gray skin in just gray eyes.
That's right. It's cool at Souls could be
created down here. You know, it stopped Just Like
An Earthquake. Garth guitarist thing, tarah
thing? Yeah, yeah.
The magic of creation. Okay.
Where are we heading? Mommy lessons to lead?
The way looks like everybody else is slowly following towards
the mangrove to the west and the chittering is very loud as you
guys are approaching. But Mom a is soon as you're
Crossing into the mangrove, all of the chittering seems to Stop
almost. You're wondering maybe out of
fear. That's right.
Get fucked bugs. Hello.
Friendly bugs. We're just passing through.
They'll buy it. And you do see the pile of eggs
off in the distance as you're navigating through.
The the swamp trying not to step in any of the murky muddy or
areas as much as possible. But still occasionally, feeling
the squelching under and through up to your knee.
Sometimes I'm going to turn around and say to everybody.
Don't touch that. See those eggs there.
Don't fucking touch him. Got it will not touch, and some
of them are mainly pit are mostly picked over.
Actually, it looks like less than when you squish them seems
like some of them had been carried away, potentially,
because they're rolled off two different sides.
Damn it, I thought of squished, all of them as much as possible.
I mean, you kind of got distracted with them.
Burrowing into your skin, I think.
Yeah. Alright, so now we're this far,
I don't know if there's a path, like if I can jump on these
routes, I don't know if I see stairs up to this platform.
This looks like a platform and like a house.
I don't know if this is a job for Bob.
So what you're seeing visibly in front of you is not actually
what's there in. This particular case Franklin
booping, you Over II. Haven't I?
Like I said, I can't see anything.
Yeah, I read it a few times. It's like I can see the map but
it's all like grayscale. And I don't see any characters
or anything like that. Uno momento.
Well, well, I'm going to do something else too soon.
Taking us over to another map so maybe that will help to here and
when she can go to the moment, I just placed myself that worked.
Oh oh, so it's just that token that must have.
Yep I can't I can't select that token at all.
So weird, all right. I grab this.
Grab that one. All these are what?
Dude, no. No come back.
Are you guys, okay? I
think I got you this time, huh? I just got to get over to the
other map now. I believe in you.
There we go. We move the bookmark.
You guys should all be seeing what actually is going on there.
Yeah. Where interesting.
What's up with the flowers? I like to eat people.
Oh. You look different though.
Weird Yeah, hold on, I have proficiency with nature.
I'll check biased by guidebook. There we go.
Can I attempt to try to identify plants?
You can. Yeah.
I have a negative 1 in nature but let's give it a shot.
I'll get a plus 4. In survival witch.
Yes, please. I don't have proficiency weather
but I do have Vision see with a negative number.
Don't know why I probably should change it but that's how it was.
So you Don't completely recognize them.
The thing that happens when you open your book this time around
is that it just gets a giant warning sign on it?
Danger, danger Will Robinson. Yeah.
As I think they're dangerous. I vote we send the bug Army
forth to Devour the flowers. I would, I don't actually have
control of the be yet so I'd have to try I persuade them, I
believe you got to believe to achieve.
All right, so I need something to persuade them with who's got
the tastiest Barcelona Bob? Whatever larvae like they're
like rhotic things who's got a dead body.
As you guys I'm gonna side. I flint.
And so, are we trying to get rid of these flowers?
Yeah, I think just get by him, they're bad.
As you guys are talking so visibly.
What you're seeing in front of you, all, just for a description
to is after you got to the edge of the mangrove there.
It seemed to dry out a little bit.
And there was some roots and rocks that are growing together
in a very well coordinated form. It seems like down into a little
Valley with these flowers that you're talking about at the base
of a tree. And in this tree is perched
almost as if it were grown there a house That is, that is got a
couple flickering lights in it. And as you guys are discussing
what to do with the flower, you just see the door of the house
up in the Treetops. Fling open and outcome problems.
This lowing formed just grotesque-looking person.
You think, although they do have a very nice dress on a a light
in their, in their arm that they're holding with their I'm
and in the foggy, this of this Basin is yelling across to you
before. You're heading down towards the
flowers. You best not be messing with my
flowers. Oh man.
Are your flowers going to mess with us?
They eat you straight flat in five minutes.
Can you tell me not to do that? Can they not?
What's in it for me? Visitors.
I like no visitors. These visitors are you?
I can't fucking remember her name.
Hold on. I wrote it down.
Are you Melanie?
Martinez Marie. Mela Vicki.
No. Vicki.
No Vicki. Mm.
Nothing lucious. Who's asking?
We are. I'm Franklin.
What's your name Franklin? Oh okay.
I hide for the shadow Seekers. Haven't heard.
A fuck about you. Your mom?
You don't like visitors. That's good, isn't it?
Doesn't that mean we're not bad people not necessarily.
What you know about doors? Then I'm trying to get in one.
Which one? No dwarves not doors.
How babies? That's the right answer?
That's pretty funny. I've been in one of those are
not too Pleasant. There's still curse.
Yeah. As long as they're alive at
least, well, dwarves that there's are some angry assholes.
Yeah. In both sense of being in a man.
I guess you just might hear a slight Mumble of that across the
belly. Good wide, big magical, Dory
wanted to get through. Right guys, we're here to see
the witch because she has keys to the door.
Yeah, yeah. I'm just gonna shout across be
like we're trying to find sexy Satan.
You want to have sex with Satan? Is that what I heard?
Pretty much? Yes, that's that's correct.
That's exactly what she said. If that's what it takes.
Then, yes, I can't help you with that.
You best be getting on. What about Loki?
Oh, that asshole, as so many assholes in this world is hard
to keep track. Everyone's got one.
Gladly do when we're told to come talk to you.
Oh yeah, that's right. I do remember some drunk guy in
the bar. Drunk guy that could have been
any one of those assholes. Well, I mean, what is still
what's in it for me to let you over?
It's pretty dangerous, not have a really good hugger.
You look like a skeleton hand, you can look at it.
Could I open open any of you up maybe Bob?
Maybe Bob I don't know who Bob is, probably I'm gonna point to
The Croc. Your uncle truck, is he?
I don't think my uncle's ever looked like a crocodile before,
but I've definitely been in one of those and he and she points
straight across at the three in the middle of the group, it
seems like, but I opened one of those large ones that Wing at
one or that shelled one before. Where's that constitute?
Reborn. Of reborn.
We have a two-headed baby. Have you seen one of those
before? Oh yeah.
It's the ends have them all the time.
Well, not down here anyways, because reproduction is a
little. Yeah, but this one's not a
giant. Yeah.
What about not a net and baby? Oh that is weird.
What you'll let me open your baby up.
I mean it's not my baby. Open them up.
Hound give a shit what the opening and tail.
May we talk about this face-to-face.
Is this like a therapy thing? I'm gonna kind of turn to Flint
and like, kind of Western be like, I mean, you can make
another one, right? I got more round to my candy.
Well, you know, you've piqued my interest now.
And you, you, you see the light in her hand kind of float up
into the air. And you see her arms kind of go
out into a a grand gesture. Before she, she says some into
unintelligible words and bowels and all of the plants that are
wriggling in driving at the bottom of the canyon Canyon
settle down. The most part and make a path to
the bottom of the steps. It looks like.
These steps or the steps. Easy steps.
Okay, is it like, how far is this, like is this look down, or
this is a slope at I grabbed. Yeah, we're absent em, Bob.
Faulkner's fast just flutters down there.
It's Korea. Flowers doing it.
Guys are standing at the bottom of her tree.
It looks like after walking through most of the path of
calmed flowers, it looks like right now.
Nice flowers. You smell pretty flowers,
flowers. Lizzie as you walk by one of
them blind. Hi.
My name is Craig LED. Hi, my name is Frank lad?
Daisy, did you guys speeches? Flowers, buy me dinner are you
just stopping and saying hello to every single flower you pass?
Yeah, of course. They're all individual people.
Fish. Have you ever talked to a plant
before I saw my dad do it once? He said Franklin this is
something you have to understand.
In order to survive you have to kill and to kill you.
Did that includes plants? Anyway.
And you guys see her at her balcony?
When you get to the bottom and then she backs up and you here,
door opening. As you walk up, the steps you
see to what look like animated. They're puppets, almost they
look like people but they're made of wood for sure off to
either side of the door that she's standing just inside of
now, with the door open, but she standing in the doorway, not,
and letting you enter yet just kind of waiting for you at all
to gather there and I bet it is Franklin.
Hello Am I opening you up then? Or is it the baby?
We talked of. Where's that at?
I want to know what? Opening entails.
Oh well, bring it here. I'll say why.
Don't, why don't we get in and situated?
And then we can discuss, who gets opened up or not?
Once I see the baby and explain what it might be.
I'll make that decision from here.
Thank you. So I'm guessing we're all just
like gathered in the doorway staring at her and she's like I
want the baby. Yeah standing on the balcony of
his of the tree house just before the door you better pet
her. Yes Mom reaches out to pet the
winch. No.
Sorry, I'm sitting on the couch and I was just sitting in front
of him going, and I'm going to try to convince him that he
should go and let himself be eaten by his flowers.
Disadvantage. But you can you can try to roll
persuasion if that's what you're saying.
Hmm. But I roll D20.
Yeah, yeah. Well I'm you have sorry.
Yeah. Haven't done this in a while.
So you actually have your abilities on ddb onto.
So persuasion is on the middle chart and it's Charisma plus 1.
Yep. Persuasion.
Yep. And it would be Charisma based
and it doesn't look like you have a plus one.
So you could add a +1 to that first role that you did there,
okay? So 14 plus 1, which would be 15.
So your you say that and she looks intrigued by something.
You're not quite sure what it first.
Oh disadvantage. Sorry I did say that again.
Go Roll it again, is what that means and you would take the
lower of the two numbers. No way.
I got a 14 again. No ice.
It's always it's always the best.
So you still she you can't tell what?
She's exactly thinking but she goes.
Yeah. And why don't you just go?
Fuck yourself? I'll watch nice to meet you.
My name is Falkner appropriately.
Yeah. I think we can get a Long if we
if these terms are amicable, perhaps we could play a game or
two. How about you?
Let us inside and we all sit down and talk and figure
everything out then game. Could I see the baby at least
first, not make sure that I'm not being sure I stood.
I'm sorry. Terrifying that it's a baby.
I'm gonna kind of try to tape taped on.
I was just a baby I kind of turned to her and just like pull
the swaddle back a little bit so she can see both heads and
they're both cooing Softly As you do so because they seem to
have enjoyed the little walk down the Hillside and into the
valley. And she goes, oh well, that is
definitely a baby with two heads, huh?
I guess we can come to some sort of terms.
I'm going to keep these two round with me though if you
don't mind, there's quite a bit of you.
Yeah, I'm video. Go whore shite, it's about six
year. Come on, boys, and she just Taps
the two rigid looking guards on the sides of the, their
shoulders, and they walk following her like directly
behind her. As she follows into the room and
says you all can come in now. And she says, we're just going
to meet back right around here and she's still holding.
She left the torch. It seems or the light that she
was had floating next to her outside, at the doorstep.
But the guards, like I said, amble behind her and one ones
left behind as she walks around the corner of the wall.
Making sure you guys all follow it seems like Like, see the
Anthony's. Can everybody get in?
I'm not - okay. There is traffic little would
like to get through the door. They had doors is all this is a
giant are running at it really fast.
I got you all in there. It looks like.
What is this? The thing that's being.
Piled up in different areas to you're not even sure what some
of them are just kind of haphazardly strewn about and she
says, oh come on to the sitting room.
It's warmer in here and she the door here is open.
Boy. It's not open.
I'm just checking to make sure that everybody was headed that
way. Okay, lock it towards the door.
Just walking around our house made.
No note of that. The crocodiles can see is the
door. Locked you go to open, try to
open the the exit door. But you just entered in from.
Yeah. Teams to be locked at just a
interesting. Okay.
Lock out. And I am investigating the like
markings on the floor here, underneath this table.
From the outside of the circle here.
I see Faulkner was just like fuck this and jumped on top of
the table for it. But go ahead.
Are they, are they like runes? Or is it like a language?
Definitely runes. You could probably roll either
and Arcana or an investigation depending upon your intent.
Well. Until 16.
So you're looking at it and you're quite sure.
You're at the table, which Miss maleficarum is not sitting at
and it's instead sitting at a very comfy chair in front of the
fireplace, these ruins have something to do with bindings
and past that, you're not 100% sure.
Other than that, they are definitely in the blood of
something written and then inscribed into the floor as
well. On top of it is the is the blood
dried or is it still wet? It is mostly dry but it does
look like it's been renewed recently, I'm gonna kind of
reach down in like, rub my finger on it and kind of give it
a taste and see if I can tell what kind of blood it is. that
nigga, she the you're going to want to roll an investigation
for that one, okay? I was debating between that and
medicine, but that's a 19. So you are relatively certain
that it is a heavily ironed blood.
But you, you could you you just know that that means it's from
some sort of humanoid. Well, not necessarily even
humanoid. It could be from a woodland
creature but it's Got to be from a warm-blooded creature.
You're sure. Huh?
I am going to kind of walk back into this corner here.
I'm going to kind of crouched down and I am going to take my
like dagger that I have just kind of like strapped to my leg
and pull it out and kind of just break the Outer Circle with my
dagger, just kind of scratch away.
The like just put a scratch through it.
Roll a I'm trying to do this like delft is on the down low.
Okay she sees you wandering off from the group and says oh you
best be getting away from that Circle as you're taking the
dagger out like trying to slowly pull it out of the chief, you
might not be wanting to cross into it or even touch it.
Unless you want to become, you know, just a spirit.
Whoa. You touched the blood.
It seems it's fine. As long as you're not, you know,
fully in the circle, that's going to be problematic.
Potentially Well, it's a good thing that table then.
You. Want to trade this baby there
Madam, I don't know where What's Your Name?
By the way you may call me Ash, and, for all intents and
purposes, I'm assuming your fluttering over the table,
Faulkner, and not on it. Yeah.
Even as I'm using them. So I figured so Ash.
You, she nods to you and says that's a wonderful name.
How about this? Is there baby?
You're willing to trade? Does it have name yet it does
and I forget what it is and your mother of the Year guys.
And you in diesel Jeep, moles it over kind of and she holds up a
hand and want to as the last guard filters in stands stands
in front of that door. Basically, making sure
everyone's in the room. And the other one though that
standing next to her grabs a what looks like a slowly Beating
Heart that's on the table, a large one.
You're not quite sure from what and just squeezes it into a cup.
And hands it to her and she starts sipping from it slowly,
hmm? That sounds like an interesting
and some tickle something of my memory here but I could I could
be doing doing a trade for something of that.
But two is that you just wanting wanting to meet with me for
that. I could I could definitely do
that for this for the service and let you go free.
But are there any other questions you might have for me
while you're here? This is it seems like a
reasonable deal so far to for me, do you have tip of blood?
We had heard rumor that you had an overly large key to an overly
complicated door. Oh, you want into the Acropolis?
I actually have two of the keys but you know that's a bit of a
pricey thing to ask. I believe a two-headed baby is
very expensive. It is, it is what, you know the
the price of Freedom out of this portion of tell is also very
valuable to me. How about I give you some
information about one of your dead relatives.
I don't watch care about my relatives.
I'm pretty much sure, they're all fucking dead that I mean.
Well, they ain't here. Are they?
No, I'm them, they could be alive still.
Well technically I think I have two of them down here with me.
There you go. I already know about them.
The wardens gone changed agenda though.
Goes by something or other. I don't remember.
Either, there's nothing wrong with that.
I lo people who have changed their their entire species.
Well, yeah, boy, she's not a witch anymore.
She's now Wizard and claims to be some sort of something or
other that I don't know. It's kind of broke.
Brought some term or a talk oven if you could imagine because you
sorry, I get it. What's your question?
Their feathered friend. I'm not too interested about my
other relatives. They could gone.
And, you know, done themselves like I told you and fuck
themselves. So Don't think that's going to
the table for me now. Sounds like you need a little
bit of closure with the relative to just change their gender
though. Sounds like you're having a
little bit of a hard time with that.
Oh, I don't think so I can give two fucks what they do with
themselves. Always just trying to get out of
hell and I was hoping they would help me but they gone off and
said this is their new life. So you know, why are you are
good? I love is where you live.
Well, got a raw deal. Getting into hell.
I went to get more power as you as one does, you know?
And yeah and and in my search for Power, I'd run across some
demons and they seemed a cool ball enough.
So I, you know, made the right decision and created some things
for, for power. And one of those things happen
to be the shortening of my If and my soul into this portion of
L and I've been here for how many years?
I don't even fucking know what age is it currently no idea what
age is a turtle people, will rise.
I rolled a history to remember what Adrienne?
I rolled 25 You know, I honestly haven't come up with that sort
of information but let's, let's keep it going and you a gif.
Oh no. You know, that instruct you
know, that time as it as it as it is has been only recently
started to beat kept track of, you know, you're only probably
the fifth generation since they started keeping track of time.
So it's probably been about 500 years since they started taking
keeping track of any sort of time, but you're not really
certain because the year 500 everybody was arguing about, you
know, months and days and years for such a long time.
There are some you, no qualms about exactly what date it is.
But you know the 500 ä ä ê. You remember that time where we
didn't even have years it was just my yeah too.
Big of a dumper. We have to start over.
It's your five. Hmm.
But yeah. And at the information that is
translated, she goes well means they've been dead over like
three hundred years. Fuck.
Great. That's nothing.
How old are you gazelle 58? Okay, it's only half your life
span. Oh my God.
You existed before time. Holy sheet.
Oh yeah. I don't know.
I actually don't know. This is all the not about would
be if I'm 158. I don't know if that's like if
I'm 158 like I've been Undead for 158 years or if I am Like
158, wouldn't it just be your running out of time?
Yeah. You are, I would say that it was
a strung together of event. Like kind of, I thought what you
were trying to say yeah that's what I was wondering.
Is like if I am 158 years old like from Death to now or if I
remember was remembered time, for sure, 158 years, I would
say. So I actually don't know how old
I am. At least 150 years old.
Huh. But I am, I'm definitely older
than time. I died 300 years ago, but I've
gone on living for well. The the tracking of time is a
new development as you for me anyways.
And and for that first, I don't know long ass motherfucking
time. I was alive before that the,
that starting of it, as I died, 300 years ago.
So, as I've been, I've been alive.
These for a portion of the time. They started keeping track of
time. That was stupid.
I still think you just been hanging out down here for 300
years. Well yeah.
What do you do when you get? I mean, it's kind of like been
adventuring. Yeah, you're not trying to get
out of here. Oh fucking hell.
I have showed up my mind. Yeah, I'm dead.
The school and then just like it out here.
She seems taken aback in his like, I've got two of them with
a fork and keys. How many of them you got?
I mean we just got here. And the question still stands.
What's a strong who are used to reward today, to take you to get
those two keys, 300 years apparently and if we just got
here like not even a year ago, And we've already gotten this
far. What's this vodka?
We do about the keys, we're about to ease and we tracked two
of them down. Correct oil.
That is that is mighty presumptuous.
I mean that you know that the in the vicinity is probable but
have you said you had two of them, indeed?
Yeah. So we tracked him down.
Well, now that you found me, doesn't necessarily mean, you
found the keys and she said, that's what wrinkled and she
takes a shot of the blood. Could we have the please, I'm
sitting in the chair listening to this banter and I'm just like
kind of like patting my baby's back and I'm gonna say that
Bob's crocodile head is just across my lap and I'm just
stroking his head just listening to this back and forth and so I
guess guess what I'm trying to say.
Hey is so you have two of the keys.
You have two keys to get into one place.
So why do you need two of them? You need all four.
Where's the other two? Why well what is most
interesting lie somewhere else and another one somewhere else.
But you know information, you might have to pay me more.
I mean how about if we go fetch, the other two keys and then with
all our keys combined will open the door together with the power
of Friendship with the power of cooperation, right?
Family, and we can get the goddamn door open.
I think that's the real goal here.
I vaguely. Remember?
or something from, like, My past life.
The children talking about these dolls and they would always say
friendship was magic but I never understood what they meant.
Well you know they were shaped like horses.
Go ahead and roll me a persuasion with that mommy
apocalypse ponies and everyone else can roll.
The assistance is I think oh yeah.
My Persuasions shit. My Persuasions pretty up there
and I'm gonna 2114, well, I got 10.
So, thank you, 20. I'm telling you, I really think
she's gonna bite on. The Friendship is Magic thing.
I just rolled it because I want to be part of the group.
You know, you said some stuff there was, there was something
helping. Yeah.
And I think, The note of friendship, she left and seems
to open up a little bit especially to the idea that was
posed blast Mamas and says, well, you know, since you're
such a easy to work with group here, I think I could do
something like that. We'd have to set a time and
place to be at the door so that, you know, not being Bamboozled
or anything. I would definitely be bringing
my crew, you know, my plant friends that I've made here in
hell. Did we get one of her plant
friends to mention that? Well, the so, as long as the
plant friends are in control, but you have to tell us where
the other two keys are so we can retrieve them.
I had look at the others. I will tell you this is a
reasonable deal. If you hand me the baby and I
will tell you exactly where they are.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, no, you're out of this.
You are getting the door open. Oh, no, no out of this me
letting you live and not, you know, removing you from this
portion of Hell, a seeing as you aren't way, you can get us out
of here. Yes, certainly into your after
lives because this is not your death.
You're not dead. We're not all guys.
A song. All right I'm listening to her
just like talk all of this just like hi cocky shit and I'm like
you really think you can take us all on and just deal with us so
so easily. I wouldn't you be just me.
I've certainly have my connections here in the house
and at that she sets her cup down and just stroked the arm of
the chair and snaps her fingers after that.
And you hear outside not only The plants coming back to life,
but then the puppets that she had asgard's animating and then
she leans back over the chair and blows a kiss at the circle
of engraved runes on the floor that a light.
And under you Faulkner you see the skull was eyes glow to life
and the the that's sitting on the table above Of the engraved
Circle and its jaw open and flap and you hear a cackling coming
from it, that's more than maniacal.
And you guys also hear some other stomping surrounds in the
in the treehouse I'm not. So sure you'd want to really,
you know, take this up a notch if you catch my drift.
Listen, listen. Listen, we just want to get out
of this level of hell. Why can't we find solution?
We most certainly are working together and in my experience, I
can do some wonderful things with that baby.
Yeah, that's right. You were supposed to discuss
with us. What you want to do with the
baby? Yes.
You see my friend over there and she points to the skull that
you're floating over top of or hovering rather over top of
Faulkner and he goes, hey yeah, bro.
They stuck us. Yeah.
I'll do it. Yeah, it's Hawks.
High have, Franklin has Bob been here before?
Yeah, I was gonna say, does Bob show any recognition when this?
All starts to talk, Bob does perk up and look over at him and
at seeing the glowing red inside, the crocodiles eyes, the
glowing orange. That's inside of the skulls eyes
on the table, kind of twinkles for a second and he goes, hey,
pull up, you fucker. How'd she end up in that
crocodile? Obviously he just kind of goes
on. I cast.
Where did it go speak with animals?
And I just kind of like scratch it's now and Whisper to him.
I'm like do you know this guy? And as you doing such there is a
bit of a flash of orange light in there and everybody everybody
else. It seems like Ash and the skull
have started just talking and crocodile.
Has has and but he you here behind you Ash in crocodile oh
and understood what you said Bob I ain't gon done nothing wrong.
What are you talking about Lisa? Lisa.
Yeah, that's what he said. And then Bob ignoring your
question just responds with all right.
I gotta remember, Bob's voice has been so long.
She's he's been silent for a while.
Yeah. Good old Silent.
Bob. Well you've gone, done, fucked
Lisa behind my back. No I didn't gun done.
Nothing like that. She was willing and able she
said you were down to pound with us.
Hey, I don't remember any of those discussions.
It may have been though. Those damn double Thieves Guild.
They were banging me around a bit during that time.
So what? Well, I'm sorry, mistress.
What was your question? just wanted to know if you knew
who that skull, there was all that's Fucking Finnegan.
Fucking Finnegan, it. Wow, that's really fitting name.
I can't hear it. Goes never mind.
He says, and Finnegan says Still in crocodile, I whispered a Bob
and I tried to do this silently so that the other skull doesn't
here. I don't know how they hear, but
I try to do really silently and I'm pretty much just Whispering
against the crocodiles head and I'm just like this, which This,
which they switching my face plant, she talks a big game.
Can she back it up? well, if she's got Finnegan on
her side, Mitch mistress is no telling what other You know,
friendships, go to say that she's made in this level of
hell. It seems, she's gained quite a
bit of power, but we have you Bob, doesn't that mean?
We have just, as much power. I appreciate the sentiment I do,
but I don't think she's been in just from the time frame alone.
I've heard some things and she's rather Infamous.
If you catch my drift drift, I think Finnegan, did ask me over
one time for some, some Interesting side quests.
If you catch my drift but my type.
So I haven't Necessarily gone that route myself.
Not into an over cocky Maniac that's sad.
Isn't that where we're all headed to be over cocky?
Maniacs? No, not necessarily mean teach
their own I also was sort of whisper to Bob remaining a
silent as possible. Is there a way for us to get out
of here in case things go down? I don't know, we didn't search
for any exits. This watch.
That's a little past. My purview haven't been to this
portion of the fifth level makes me wish.
I would have taken her up on our offers honestly.
Actually we do have a way out of here.
I think this I don't say it. Art, orgs butt.
Bob doesn't have a torque. So if I were to, like, flick
myself out of here to just be like, you know what?
I'm done with you. Tink would Bob remain behind.
So you could find out what if you're like holding on to Bob?
Yeah. What about just rattling?
What I got right by taking me and my baby.
Man that threw the the which seems to be getting impatient
currently maleficarum. And says, do I need to invoke my
companion? Sorry is doing a little bit of
Bob there. It's hard to switch there but
there's a lot of voices going on right now.
Yeah. No we're still negotiating here.
I was just We're still negotiating here.
Okay. Why is he your husband of candy
want to Candy? Why would I, why?
In the hell would I help her reputation?
And you did not uphold it to Franklin.
He is very disappointing. Yeah.
They both stories witches. Have caddy houses.
And this is the candy house and you don't believe this is candy.
She says and she just turns around to her guard again that
had preferred the heart and squeezed it into a glass for and
she just gestures like waving her hand and the garden fence
down and picks up a chunk of the wood off the floor and she hands
it to her and she just starts munching on it taste like Like
candy to me. Oh God.
Yeah, sure catch. Seems like he was a little bit
more true than what you were expecting and it went right
towards your chest and you overcompensated and it landed in
your face. Oh and then landed in your arms.
Huh, I take a bite. Call douching.
Why why why? So you bite into it and your
first instinct is that this is actually would, there is no way.
This is a candy you're trying real hard and you just laugh.
Wow, quite a piece off and as soon as it comes apart of the
rest of the whole, it turns into a soft melting kind of a white
chocolaty flavor in your mouth. Mouths.
Oh my God, guys. You got to try this.
I'll take your word for it. I'm going to investigate it.
I can see Bob just like questioning it.
I'm not like the floor. Are you investigating the floor,
Faulkner, or you and get investigating the piece that he
is? That Is holding in his hand, I'm
going to investigate the floor. Go ahead and roll.
Wow, it's a little tough at first, but That's just kind of
belts your mouth. 23. Very nice.
So you are, what are you doing to investigate?
So, this is sometimes helpful for the elaboration portion of
it and how I might fill in your blanks.
Or yeah, there is wood or actually is Gandy some out.
Are you touching it or you stomping on it?
Are you scraping it? What are you doing?
I'm going to flick some pieces off of it with my nail, okay?
So as you kind of scrape, your talons Across the floor, a
little bit maleficarum is like, hey, don't mess up the grade.
I've gone done work, real hard on that and you notice the
flakes as they come up off of the floor though.
Head of land around your claws in the, in the gouge that you
made. And as they are, would at first,
they turn into a white coloration of off to either side
and just are there, but they're not the same color as the wood
that that they're laying on top of.
I'm going to continue scratching it a little bit and then I'm
going to ask him if he'd be willing to just give us the keys
and I will stop and you are negotiations.
You could roll persuasion. And if you want to, there's
something that I've learned more recently, something called an
emphasis role I would from Brendan Lima Mulligan.
I think is his name is and You will second time and emphasis
role is you would roll twice, like you would for an advantage
or a disadvantage and the second second or of the two rolls,
whichever one is farther from 10.
That is the role that you would have if I like that.
All right, so I got a 20 and the 21.
Okay, so emphasis on success so she, she's like, holding her
hands up and she goes, wait, wait, wait, it's no need to be
so Hasty and so Degradation about this.
I will not be giving anybody any of these Keys as they are not
fully in my possession. And the that being said, I can
and will hold to my bargain of meeting you in front of the Door
to the, you promised to the necropolis with key that you do
not have o. I have them.
But I think they're not in my position.
I'll show you mine. If you show me yours.
Good sir. You want to see a magic trick?
Oh God, I can show my claws further into this floor.
And I continue scratching. And she she goes and I can call
on all of my friends as she so okay, so let's let's let's get.
Look, let's cut, let's Circle back here.
I like this idea of all of us showing up in front of the door
with all the keys. I like this.
Let's keep working. This is a positive direction.
We were making a mint in here. I like that was great.
Why do we have? So like we can't hold up our end
of the bargain. If we don't know where the other
two keys are, remember we have like go get these.
These keys I'm sure they're not easy to find.
I'm sure it's not easy to acquire.
My question is if you know where these other two keys are why do
you not have the other two keys? Yeah it is a wonderful debate
you bring up and indeed that is where it's lies.
The other two keys are in a, in an odd position, one of us which
is with my other sister. And she would not give me the
key because she does not believe it is our right to escape this
portion of hell. If some shit, she's got some
higher beliefs, I don't buy into that fuckery higher beliefs, we
have some pretty high beliefs, but there's some Merit behind
our beliefs. Well, I found myself to be very
persuasive and so. So if your sister, you're going
to tell us what your sister has one, I'm sure we can go persuade
said sister Anna way to you may not write sometimes being
family. Doesn't help you in these
situations. Oh Perhaps, Perhaps.
Now I've given you something and you've given me the other key.
You've not given me one thing when you've been here, oh, we're
giving you the chance to get out of here.
We can't open the door without the keys.
You're shooting yourself in the foot here.
We've Grace we have given you our company.
You haven't given if it's anything except for a problem in
which we need to solve for U so far and so far your company's
been nothing. But shite this one scraped up my
floor, this one over here was trying to scrape up my circle.
I wasn't trying to scrape up your circle.
I was just investigating your circle.
I want to look him straight in the eyes.
It's like we can either be really good friends or really
good enemies. What's it going to be?
Odds are even just roll a D20, should I cast right person?
Maybe I should just do it. Should I charm her and make us
Bros? I like this idea.
All right it only works for an hour and then once I'm done they
know they were Charmed. Oh damn.
Okay I don't think we got the keys and be at the door and an
hour. So we might need that later.
We'll save that back Plan. B idea.
I haven't I'm going to try to use my insight and determine the
true intentions of the Witch. H.
Head roll in sight. Are your intentions with my
daughter? No, I got a 10, um, you know,
for pretty certain that she's been honest, if not forthcoming
and you can tell it's probably from a life.
More than a lifetime's experience of living in Hell.
She's gained a lot of this mistrust throughout her many
experiences you're quite certain.
It's nothing to do specifically with you, you know, and your
group. It's just this is how she is.
He's not not being unforced coming.
She just needs. And she kind of expresses this
to to you Flint, whenever after you've made that provocation and
she goes well, I'm a really good friend and a horrible enemy.
So you take your pick and Sir, okay?
That's really good to know, but okay.
You want from us, my child right here in my arms, is this the
only thing you want? You just want living creature.
Oh, you know, this might have been completely a
misunderstanding. When I said open up.
Hup. I will put them back but I need
to see inside of them. The child would be good.
I'd also suggested that the total over there, she gestures
towards Franklin or that large new scratching.
And she she goes and I can call on all of my friends as she so
okay, so let's let's let's get. Look, let's cut, let's Circle
back here. I like this idea of all of us
showing up in front of the door with all the keys.
I like this. Let's keep working.
This is a positive direction. We were making a mint in here.
I like that was great. How do we have?
So like we can't hold up our end of the bargain.
If we don't know where the other two keys are, remember, we have
to like go get these He is I'm sure they're not easy to find
sure they're not easy to acquire.
My question is if you know where these other two keys are why do
you not have the other two keys? Yeah it is a wonderful debate
you bring up and indeed that is where it's lies.
The other two keys are in a in on position one of us which is
with my other sister and she would not give me the key
because she does not Believe it is our right to escape this
portion of hell. If some shit, she's got some
higher beliefs, I don't buy into that, fuckery higher beliefs, we
have some pretty high beliefs, but there's some Merit behind
our beliefs. Well, I found myself to be very
persuasive and so. So if your sister, you're going
to tell us what your sister has one, I'm sure we can go persuade
said sister, Awaiting, you may not write.
Sometimes being family. Doesn't help you in these
situations. Oh Perhaps, Perhaps.
Now, I've given you something and you've given me another key.
You've not given me one thing. When you spin me a hand, oh,
we're giving you the chance to get out of here.
We can't open the door without the keys.
You're shooting yourself in the foot here.
We've Grace we have given you our company.
You haven't given us anything except for a problem in which we
need to solve for you. So far and so far your company's
been nothing but shite this one scraped up my floor, this one
over here was trying to scrape up my circle.
I wasn't trying to scrape up your circle.
I was just investigating your circle, huh?
I want to look him straight in the eyes like we can either be
really good friends or really good enemies.
What's it going to be odds or evens?
Just roll a D20. Should I cast charm person?
Maybe I should just do it. Should I charm her and make us
Bros? I like this idea.
All right it only works for an hour and then once I'm done,
they know, they were Charmed. I'll damn.
Okay, I don't think we've got the keys and be at the door and
an hour. So we might need that later.
We'll save that back Plan. B idea.
I had I'm going to try to use my insight and determine the true
intentions of the Witch. Head roll in sight.
Are your intentions with my daughter?
Yeah, I got a 10, um, you know, for pretty certain that she's
been honest, if not forthcoming and you can tell it's probably
from a life. More than a lifetime's
experience of living in Hell, geez, gained a lot of this
mistrust throughout her many experiences you're quite
certain. It's nothing to do specifically
with you, you know, and your group.
It's just, this is how she is. He's not not being unforced
coming, she just needs. And she kind of expresses this
to to you Flint, whenever after you've made that provocation and
she goes well, I'm a really good friend and a horrible enemy.
So you take your pick? Good sir, I can't sleep.
That's really good to know. But okay.
You want from us, my child right here in my arms.
Is this the only thing you want? You just want living creature.
Oh, you know, this might have been completely a
misunderstanding. When I said open up.
Up, I will put them back but I need to see inside of them.
The child would be good. I'd also suggested that the
total over there, she gestures towards Franklin or that large.
Goliath or though they're I don't think I have got your name
yet but so is this just like a good break?
It open set surgery just to like exploratory, see what's going
on? You're going to cut.
I really, I just want you to help me understand what this
process is. Because now I'm incredibly
intrigued. You're gonna cut open a child
and it's not going to die. Oh yes, yes.
It will be Sedated by all means and six.
And then I'll just, you know, relieve it of its outer organ
and enter into its inner organs with a simple.
Simple simple spell. Believe it of its outer organ.
You see that? That that, that's an organ your
skin. Yeah.
So you're going to remove it skin and it's not going to die.
Oh it won't be completely. It'll just be a portion of its
skin. I'm not going to flee it.
Okay. The first Of its outer organ.
Other than removing the skin? I do so apologize.
Some of the technical term injure terminology from my
readings aren't quite understandable and under other
terms its weight. I apologize.
That's what's fun. Are you going to take anything
from the baby? Well other than knowledge and we
can trade dollar Jama kablooey and I'll tell you where the last
key is I think that's just a tree.
Yeah, the inside of it, of course and it's going to add.
This is the part that gets me. I'm like okay it's gonna live.
I mean, like it was before or somehow debilitated.
After I hear this and like her explanation of this whole
scenario, I was like, all right, you are going to be Friends with
us. We are going to be good friends,
you're going to tell us where the last key is, and then we're
all going to meet at this door and I stand up and I reach over
to shake her hand. While holding the baby.
Wait, wait, wait. Me like, whoa, wait, just so
that I understand what's going on.
And as I'm saying this, Josh, I'm going to cast the tech
thoughts as you do. So she stands up already clasps
for arms of Ash claps, her forearm with, and you clasp her
for. I'm Ash and she says deal.
And in her thoughts, you here Griselda.
Oh, it's a good thing. I'm Honest.
In this portion of hell. and as you do, do grasp, each other's
forearms Ash, you not only see the earnestness in her eyes, and
also the excitement possibly of getting to cut into a living
feet being again, and the also feel a sensation and everyone
else sees wraparound including yourself, Ash, a tendril of some
sort of magic across the Two forearms.
It's a greenish. Unbreakable vow, okay.
Well, that just happened. We shook hands and that's enough
for me and I Unpack. The baby from my person.
It's still swaddled and I passed the baby to her.
Lovely. Oh, it's this.
This is anyone going to watch the proceedings if you do?
I would like to ask you to be sanitized by This one over here
and she just pointed to him and that's the name.
I am going to roll to see if Ash would be willing to watch her
baby be cut. Open.
Okay, can I help no? You can watch though, stand
outside the circle and as long as you're there to pointing,
like outside of the circle of the table, that's in the, in the
ground and including you, their feathered one, please, please
move away from the circle. It is going to be Be enacted
here shortly, and it'll be a dome over the proceedings.
Keeping everything sanitized. And she everyone inside jack.
Yeah, Ash can't do it. She's not gonna watch this
should be there. It is baby.
Like, like it like it. I guess I'm looking for is like,
is she looking to hold up her portion of the deal?
Oh, yeah, 15. And you see that she's more than
excited to open up the individual.
And you're quite certain to even with the, with the look in her
eyes that she knows what she's doing because she's kind of
started to ignore everybody already somehow.
Somehow, even though there are like six other people in her
private space, which he'd been on guard from before she took
the baby and happily set it on the table, who did the skull
slightly to the side so that it had a view over it and then she
claps her hands and then turns him sideways and spreads them
out, to either side. And a, the blood that's on the
runes, floats up off of the ruins and Bill.
Was over top of her in a sphere and kind of solidifies in this
reddish bubble around her almost and that you that everyone can
still see through it still translucent.
I know ashes left the room has anyone else left the room at
this time? And she also says, this is the
time for any of those who have weak stomachs to please leave.
Before I start. I'm going to stay.
Franklin quick changes into a nurse's outfit and has a like
stack of damp cloths in case the, which needs her brow wiped
during the ceremony, Please stand over here, then little one
key points step. Just behind her.
Right here. Yep, right here.
Just let me know. and, if everyone's stomachs are in,
check she She takes her hand into a two fingers pointing
forward and holds it in front of her and mumbles some things
before she the baby before her, the baby is laying on the table
sprawled out with the the, the two heads, and two arms, and two
legs, and one male genitalia. And she just takes one that
glowing finger and sets it to the side of their head.
The first head and that one goes to sleep and then To the next
head and that one goes to sleep and she takes her hands over top
of the baby at the center at the stomach and just spreads to
either side and the flesh Parts. Almost, as if it were just a
curtain over top of the organs below, no blood seems to be even
trickling out from the the wound that she's opened in the center
of the stomach and it spreads up to the chest.
And up to the set, to the center of the two necks and then she
stops there and kind of looks off tilts her head.
Normally this would take it all the way up and then she kind of
stops and then starts, it starts with the cut.
That looks like again at the first neck in the second neck,
all the way up to its prostitutes face and you're
seeing some of the skull and the I exposed inside of the, under
the skin. And she just pulls out from
under the Table a notepad with just a couple of bloody prints
on it and she starts taking some notes on it and looking inside
of the baby, it looks like it's pretty normal organ.
Make up here. This is odd though, how the
throats and the trachea come together down at to the, she's
muttering to herself as she's sketching the inside of the
baby. It looks like And I tell hold on
just said something but she's music.
I'm listening to this, I'm sorry.
But I was like well this is all happening.
I'm just going through her house and just like rifling through
everything and sure. Go ahead and roll an
investigation. Then go ahead and get soda.
Can I tell if the baby is still alive?
It is unclear because other than that, you can see with the skin,
parted your, your at least 99% door, but like I said, that 1%
makes it unclear only because, you know, you're seeing the
inside of the baby, but there is a heart pumping.
It seems like that you can see in through the ribs as your kind
of get looking over into the bubble.
At the table. And then there's also the lungs
or deflating and inflating again, it seems like okay so
it's more or less seems alive but you know and, Malefic home,
turns out to the, the watching crowd and says, do you see this
part here and she just points to like internal portion of the
baby that seems to be a smaller organ.
Can I tell what organ it is? History.
F-14. you're pretty sure that it's it's one of the useless
organs that owned that occurs in most people called the philtrum
philtrum. That's the thing I'm asking.
I'm gonna tell her if that's what it is.
And and she goes that's behind the that's behind.
The knows I'm I'm pointing at its, let me see if there's
anything Sort of gallbladder. No filter filter.
Filter them is something to do with the nose.
I just looked it up. It's like a Allows molecules
collected can signal, blah, blah, blah.
I was seeing if there's anything related to the chest because it
was a magic. She was pointing, but there
isn't anything that's useless. Didn't
you did say, the trachea was going down.
I could, you could just say it's a it's a secondary stomach.
Or a Third Lung, it could be the thymus gland.
It's located behind your sternum, it's in between your
lungs, it's only active until puberty and then after puberty
it slowly like shrinks down and kind of just disappears.
Well, then she's most of the time, sometimes it turns into a
tumor and you do have to get it surgically removed.
But interesting. Yeah, my Grandma had to have
hers removed. She says, no, it's not the
philtrum, it's the thalamus. You'd sit down this right.
Limas teach ym, U s--. It's the thymus.
And then she goes on to explain that exact thing.
It is yet to develop in this particular specimen.
As it is yet to hit puberty, it will get larger at that point.
And I was curious of whether or not to if it would, would
persist in such an individual, but it seems to me, seems rather
healthy though, it's good. Good to note.
You should tell the mother. When she receives her baby back
that it is Should develop quite nicely.
Although it might have some personality issues, considering,
you know, the two heads and all and trying to consult
individuality and such. But, you know, whatever floats
their boat and she just closed, starts taking your hands from
either side and closing, the baby back up.
Happy with her sketch. It seems like, and swaddles it
back up. All nice.
And then Taps the side of its head and they kind of flutter
their eyes open before before kind of Back to the sleep and
breathing, softly out of curiosity.

That'd be great. Yeah.
Now we have a plan. So if Keys what about the other
key? Yes.
Well, the other key seems to have Been residing with the
dwarves. Last I checked, they were quite
keen on keeping it just as they are quite the hoarders if you're
unaware. Wait, better check.
Didn't one of our party already had a key.
Oh, maybe somebody had a key. You said you hadn't checked.
You see it Josh? Yeah.

It's exactly after one of my favorite flowers.
Its kind. Oh, that's really nice.
Is that whatever was you have outside?
Actually, no, it is. One of the ones that I had to
leave behind on earth. Oh my God.
Earth, if I decide what I will get it for you, and I'll really
back here for you. That is very anyway, if we go
see your sisters, there is a we could break her that will like,
you know get us on a good foot with her immediately.
She seems a little uncomfortable at that, she like chocolate or
like babies like you like babies or and she kind of looks around
and said animals. So it says, it as kind of like
takes a deep breath and says, well, he has The order.
Preference towards collecting such the fallacies of all the
creatures that have passed in her life.
But it's quite an interesting collection.
Bitch. Where's zaps backpack?
When you need it? I think a related.
You finally arrived. Of course, I have a key.
Well, as really good information is all I ever, thank you.
Would you like a bug? What they take like popcorn,
popcorn shrimp. Bug though, it's it.
It's like a little larval guy. Here.
Come on out, guys. Come on.
Here we go. Thank you.
They're a little too crunchy. Wagner.
Are you eating the bug? Ya.
I'm gonna eat the bug Constitution.
I would say probably with advantage in your case.
Yeah, also, did they take out that little gland thing?
No, she just kind of pointed at it.
Okay? It's all about your arms, it's
tough out stairs. Do you have like a scrap pile by
little? Friends are getting a hug me.
I got to feed him. I give a sandwich before, but I
think they like decayed flash for.
And she said, she holds out her hand for one of the bugs.
I'm assuming you would Place him do it.
She looks at it and goes oh well that's just one of the tire
Cricket lava if soap Prolific in this Quagmire that originally
used them for fertilizer. But you know what?
Just this one. I will maintain and grow into a
small thing. Maybe, my sister would like one.
Now that you've powder up again, we don't ya.
Well, this is a perfect opportunity.
You could raise this little creek, it up, right, and there
to give it a little quicker house and they give it to your
sister. Baby.
Go out to pick deck. You guys?
Yeah. Reconcile becomes sisters again.
Yeah. She could join you in kind of
it. That might be pushing some
things we hate, but, you know, active imagination that you have
there Franklin. I think it was.
Yes, it's the bug down next to the remnants of the squished out
heart and it starts eating the, the rest of the heart and she
kind of gestures to one of the guards.
Again, it looks like puppeting. And says one moment on that
flesh, you requested. And what are you going to give
me the and return? I do.
So like deals. It is one of my few things that
I get to enjoy here. In this portion of Health.
We can't, if you were bug. Oh yes good.
Yeah chance to reconcile with your sister.
You know. And she just used to the she
keeps gesturing to the guard who is slowly going over to a grate
in the floor. You guys are realizing our there
and stands over it and looks like it lowers a pair of Shears
of some sort down into the into the pit and you hear some
moaning from it, net as the shears, get closer and then That
you hear the moaning turned into more of a screaming just and
coming from the from the shears up to the top of the, the
greeted Pit and the guard leans down and pulls out the thing.
Attached to this years now, which seems to be an ear, a very
large ear, but an ear. Oh, class of fracture.
And she can she hands the ear to Franklin?
This is so fresh. You guys have us have a really
good refrigeration system and I stick the ear up between my
shoulder blade between my back and my shell, or into my shell,
for all My Little Critter friends to enjoy.
Little bit of blood runs down my shoulder as you should, you
should clean your shell door, probably once every, but they're
so, but so far, as far as I've been down here, we haven't
really found any showers or like a like a clean stream that it's
not fun. I feel like that's my mom is
gonna hold that is like a thing to look out for in the future
his like Franklin Shelf getting disgusting.
I'd like to try to do to a big Hive for all this Fred's
delivered. Speaking of things going
disgusting mommy, do you still have?
Your shoes on. Yeah yeah.
Yep. You're still there which I'd
imagine those are getting pretty squishy at this point.
You guys all notice that now to the Griselda, pointing to them,
the skulls of two goblins that are on mommy's feet that you
just assumed were heads that she was walking in as shoe.
And now Brazil is calling them shoes which are the their flesh.
It is basically melting off of the skulls currently but are
still seeming the to fit nicely to Mommy's feet.
Oh, that looks half trouble. And Faulkner, you are nodding on
that grub that that Franklin had given you.
And your feeling Yeah, I've rolled a 19 and 9 and that was
with advantage to the 19 was what stuck in and you were
feeling slightly refreshed from it, but you because your beak
comes down and Beak noises Clap. The can't make those don't have
one of those is pumping away edit, you know, kind of flips up
the last of it and you're feeling slightly like you.
Just had a good old snack. I look Franklin I say thanks to
remind me a little bit of Home. Hey you're welcome.
It's a good source of protein. Yeah.
I figure travel rations. Trouble.
I'm in Ohio. It's really nice to meet you.
This is Melissa, Melissa. It's nice to meet you for short.
Thank you. Aloha.
It was nice meeting you. So before we get to know,
I believe part of the original deal was that you tell us a
little more about where we might be able any information you have
about getting to Satan. I don't remember that part of
the deal. I said somebody saying something
that they wanted to fuck Satan and I couldn't help with that
one. Now, we need to find Satan.
Well, I've not seen this level of Hell Missy, and we're aware,
you're interested in the fortifications of such.
He's quite fond of such things. I'm not sure if you've read of
his adventures on might, call them in order to fuck him.
We got to find him first indubitably.
Now, we are aware. We are.
Actually. we're aware that he is in the Ninth Circle, however,
just a little lost as to how to get there.
Yeah. That part's not real clear to
anyone from being fully honest here.
I mean, do you do you? Do you have some way of
navigating, her light known about wish her as a goddamn
fucking platform lift, or some shit?
Now then we need some Google Maps.
Make things a lot easier. Know we, we've just gotten lucky
so far. Wait a minute.
Second Cuba thingamajigger. That this campaign.
Yeah I just didn't want to tell her.
Okay. Lane.
Oh well that's be where many policies, the least.
So the legend says, and have you maybe heard of any information
as to how to get there again? I'm not real sure to be
blatantly obvious. I'm just opening that the Demon,
who resides in the Acropolis is willing to do some dealings as
I've done dealt with demons in the past.
They lie of the deals and contracts and such to get my ass
out of here. So basically you haven't tried
to do anything in 30 or 300 years, except get the key.
I don't know why. You haven't tried to go into any
other levels or do anything else with your time.
So I say so this one seems horrible enough.
Because then you might be able to have sex with Satan.
I want nothing to do with his dirty dick, he might give you a
pineapple. Who knows?
I don't even know what Pine Apple would be.
That sounds horrible. Is it poke I love?
She is definitely holding it and preferring him or them rather to
you, as you walk up to and into the room.
You know, Ash, I'm gonna take my baby and then I'm gonna like go
over to Bob and just kind of kneel down next to him and
unwrap, my baby, and inspect it. And it seems well intact
including the phallus. So you haven't heard any info
like you haven't even heard any information as the other levels
of how they keep things a little tight-lipped around here.
If you ain't figured it out yet, Missy the they're pretty pretty
fond of mysteries if you have tried to figure anything else
everything has been shut down real quick.
I think it has something to do with the way that the world is
cruel been In the first place being that we're inside of
ptarth, if you are unaware, being Tower says the plane
where, you know, you possibly came from the upper world and
currently in hell, we are in the Underworld belly, the
Netherworld regions of Tarth sir, no one likes to talk about
the nether regions. What?
You got goin down, down there. It's you got going on down
there. I'm gonna look at her and wink
me. Like, wouldn't you like to To
know, and then be like, all right off to your sisters, I
guess. Yeah.
There's a good transition kinky one.
That's why say, so, we aren't like that though of kind of
sisters, but have fun, Hopefully, she's nicer to the
youth and she is to me. Goodbye Mallet system.
I want to head due east, by the way.
To East from, right here. Okay, I wrap my baby up and I
think her politely and kind of give her an odd, and I'm just
like, all right, come on, Bob, and I March out of the room.
I'm going to leave the room as well.
Yeah, me smell the garlic follows everyone.
I'm moving you guys back from the door so that I can there we
go. I curtsy leads the way out and
she says I just follow follow the gods out.
He'll lead you the way. If you wander off track, he'll
smack, you won't good. Boy.
Certain he was a good boy. Can I?
Should I bring some of this candy with me?
You're rude. I don't know.
She got rid of me. That's true.
I won't but a next fed bill. Yeah.
Yeah, that's true. I'll be glad to know that it's
all the stories were. In fact, true.
That was the most important thing we learned today.
All right, what's that? Since we're out on this is a
good place to stop or not, but I have to roll back.
I think so. I think it's a great number.
Hi baby. It's fake leg.
As we did it. We got to the Witch's House.
We met with the witch and we left the house.
Where's we only? Had the part.
Ah, baby. Great.
Now, we still have our bargaining chip.
Yeah. Truth, baby.
Currency and Franklin skin. Yep.
Yeah. By the sound of it, you might be
selling some foreskin and more. Some yeah, Franklin.
How do you feel about being a eunuch?
Yeah. You willing to go.
As a child. So you know it's so wait, does
it grow back? I have no idea.
I don't think Healing Hand grows back things.
Look at the person whose hand is missing.
I questioned my answer to every question of that sort is always,
you can always try, try it, see what happens.
Give it a snip and test this theory is right outside of the
house. Out of here was great having
you? Yeah.
Yep. Hope you had a big boy.
Yeah. Yep.
Hope you had a big boy.
