Hello fair listener, Music welcome and thank you for
following our journey on Meta gaming by Rum 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.
Talking Craig, my Lord Craig, it has been achieved.
The next steps are in motion. We shall be victorious.
Somebody get the hose the. Hand of Beat tosses the dice
rolls, spins, turns. Campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that become stories.
Stories flew out into the Infinite Sea, painting it with
legends. Legends wash up on the shores
throughout the Infinite Sea, fading to myth until myths are
forgotten and the campaign that gave it birth comes again and
again. The Hand of Fate tosses the dice
rolls, spins, turns. Hitherto we left our adventurers
known as the Shadow Seekers on the fourth level of Hell after
cleaning up some of Kai Shen's lackeys at his church.
Franklin, Ezra Warren. And who else did we have there?
Ma? Yep, Mommy as well as Faust
started to make a deal with Kai Shen.
Find exactly where here we go. He then in during the deal
informs them of his situation, which he finds himself entrapped
inside Avon astral ship surrounded by less lackluster
servants or rather they are cat his captors at this point
because they don't want to go back to the astral sea where he
does. And they continue to talk to him
and find that the through his history lesson that the, the he
he'd found himself here during the creation of Taareus and been
incorporated into the into its world and and stuck as this God,
this level of Hell's God of greed.
He also during this during the negotiations, flashes an image
in Ezra's head of a brain, which he in giant brain in a VAT,
which he Ezra begins to drool immensely over.
And he asks to be freed from this level of hell.
And that even if you if their plan was to kill all of those
lackluster people on his ship to free him, he would help.
And he would help by unlocking the key that they hold the
tridecahedron for for their access to the multiple levels.
But he insists that they break the seal on the second of level
second level of hell as well as his his seal.
Which he he hopes that they will break his seal first before
going to the second level so that it can all happen all
together. They so they after these
conversations leave the church that they found themselves in
and that's nearly burned to a crisp on the inside at this
point from their combat with his glackeys there.
And they crossed the bridge over a magma chasm that bugs were
holding on either side of it, fiery bugs that he's, he
promised to hold back. And he did meet his promise to
in their agreements of unlocking the first door into the astral
ship that he claims is the metal hallways that they've been
finding strewn about. But the, the, the, this, this
particular hallway should lead them to the heart of the ship.
Oh. And then Franklin sets his dire
cricket scouts into the lead, lead lined metal hallways to
delve deeper and find what hides behind which Kaishen had
promised them as well. Some should be somewhere in the
realm of 100 crew on deck that they plan to extinguish.
Yeah, let's find out what's happens this time and we'll
start over here with Agonon. Actually, before jumping back
into all of that, you find yourself on an enormous table
that you only recognize really as a table because of some of
the mundane items on it. For their shape anyhow, Because
there are books, there are papers, there are keys, there
are cards, there are dice, there's a candle, more or less
What you see, what's going on on the screen?
Is there some coins, a compass? But beyond that, as you start to
look at the edge and then follow the view up, is an starry
expanse of a void above you that looks like the deepest night
sky, and the only other light is from the candles that are on the
table keeping it more or less. So what's the last thing I
remember? Do I have any memories?
You have all of your memories, including two up into the last
thing that you were doing. Even it however you want to
play, that is up to you. OK.
Was it an instant transition in here or was there a sequence?
It it would have been more or less instantaneous so.
It's like I'd blink and I'm here.
You could have, yeah. So you could have been sleeping,
you wake up and now you're here. Or you could have been in the
middle of taking a poop. You standing on the table now
and half the turd falls on the page while you're looking out
into the star expanse of the void.
But OK, I've always left it up to the character on how.
So I lunge forward as if I'm grabbing something.
Oh man, I was just about to get and I see the coins in the
corner of the table. I mean, that's what I was just
after. And then I take a step towards
the massive coin and realize something's not right.
Look around. Like what?
Whoa. I look down, I kind of stomp my
feet a little bit, shuffle at the paper, tentatively walk
over, and I pick up the edge of the paper and I'm kind of
looking at it and I realize what it is.
Take a moment, just kind of turn in a circle, completely
dumbfounded. And then realization dawns on
me. No, no, I know this.
I know this one. I got to find the Drink Me
potion, but did I have something before I came here?
Am I, am I tripping? Am I, is this just did Steve put
something in my drink again? I kind of, I kind of meander
towards the coins a little bit because they still have my
interest, but I'm I'm still looking for that drink me
potion. There's got to be something to
make me bigger. As you get closer to the coins,
you realize too that everything on the table is as as the table
larger than you. So one of these coin, even the
smallest of the coins, is probably your height.
Standing right at the edge of the coin with my hands on my
hips like God damn it, kind of kick it with my toe.
How heavy is this thing? Does not budget.
It's more than your weight. I pull out something sharp.
I try to like saw at the edge of the coin.
Leave a mark. My sword.
What it OK you sword? OK.
That's what I was just going to ask is how you trying?
To put like a little Ding in it to see if it see if it's gold,
you know? Yeah.
So you would, you want to you're, you're going to want to
roll me a strength check. Yeah, I do.
I do that here. Nope.
Wherever your character sheet is, we we'd set, you'd set it up
in D&D Beyond. So, oh, I do it your best bet.
And as long as you have the plug in that installed for Beyond 20,
it'll transfer to D&D or roll 20.
But otherwise I can see it in D&D Beyond as well, because I
have that up. So I can.
Shoot or alternatively, I should have told you this before we
started to I it was one of the deep many, many other details
that I forgot. I'm sure there are other things,
but you can roll physical dice and just when do your modifiers
yourself and then enter the number that you got from your
role in chat. There's also a dice in T roll
20. Yep.
OK, which you can help is the only times my first roll was a 5
because I didn't realize it was rolling.
So yeah, that's that ain't going anywhere.
You you you go to like saw at it, like you say, and because of
the misplaced leverage as you place your sword on the edge of
the coin and you start to put your full weight into it.
It does dent slightly under the you know the and scratch as you
pull your sword across it being a harder material, but it does
move slightly away from you to the point where you're going to
roll me a deck safe now. Oh, that's another D20, correct.
Yep. And then?
Natural 20 Nice. You, you, you catch yourself as
you're falling and stand up on your feet, but as you're rolling
to the coin, you, you, you kind of like put the corner of the
coin with your sword and your shoulder and it and because of
like the full weight of yourself being on it.
And it just gets so to the point where it leverages it right
under you. It acts as almost like a
catapult because you get it right to that point and it
catapults you and the coin off of the edge of the table.
At least my air corn is coming with me.
And you're going off of the edge of the table, you look back and
you do see legs and a bottom side to this table that is just
massive and floating in the starry void.
And you get one more glance around as you feel this
sensation you you have. You have another chance to
interact as you're floating currently.
But I will. I'll explain the sensation in a
second if you want to tell me what you're doing.
I flap my arms. In desperation.
She's just ready to dive. And then I also, I have a, a
levitate thing, I believe just one a moment, or maybe I don't
have that. Nope.
That's a third level. Yeah, that's a third level.
Nevermind. OK, wait.
OK. Oh, am I breathing?
OK. You do feel breath, breathing
breathing get harder. OK, I hold my breath.
And are the only question I have otherwise is how are you
flapping your arms? Is it more of like you're trying
to catch yourself because? You like I'm trying to fly I'm.
Trying to actually fly, yes. What direction is the question
that I'm like? Up back towards the lip of the
table. OK, towards the table because
the coin is still currently floating away.
And as you're as you're trying to swim, your momentum is
slowed, but you do feel darkness start to cover your vision as
you're swimming back to the table.
And then you feel a sense of. Wait, am I passing?
Do I feel like I'm passing out because I can hold my breath
indefinitely? No, OK, You.
You start to feel your body to lose its weight other than the
effortlessness that you're currently feeling when you're
swinging your arms back and forth.
And then a sense of nothingness creep into you as well as your
vision fading, and your wants and your wishes drift away as
well as your will, and only one feeling persists as darkness
envelops your full vision. You are all things because you
were no thing. You are no there is no movement,
but everything is, including you moves infinitely fast and you
know all things, but you know nothing and you have all things
but hold nothing. Then all of a sudden color.
Color streaks across your vision, a persistent spurs to
life in your chest. It brings with it the physical
weight and that of time as you feel yourself beginning to
realize there is a you, a clear desire, dream, determination
that pulls you towards it growing, changing evermore and
you flow out into an evolving you at a solid.
Chug, chug, chug. Your vision clears in a scene
which I'll resolve before you here in a second.
That is a fiery cave like space, but you get also a sensation of
having stood at the Crest of a wave as it splashes across you,
and that heady high tingling buzz sensation all across to you
as your vision clears on the scene before you know.
Man, Steve found something good this time.
So I'm in a fiery cave. Yep, I will play along with
along with a lot of other people.
You will see very shortly, Yeah, if you guys want to start
describing the characters that she sees.
He technically. Oh, OK.
Thank you for the clarification. I like this little icon I can
see. That's the one that I I've
grabbed right now. You have to give me a token at
some point too, if you have a different one in mind than the
one that you've seen. Yeah, I can send you the image
in my character which I'm still working on.
I I got to Photoshop it. New thing, The wizard's pouncing
on it. Pouncing on it.
I'm pouncing on it, Ezra. New thing?
Ezra's pouncing. So is Ezra the green token?
The turtle. No, he's the big, big wolf
that's right there. OK, and how do I I'm the blonde
thing, They just moved. OK, Yep, Yep.
And now? There's on on the thing.
You see a giant dog basically, or I wouldn't say dog # bounding
towards you. Humanoid or fully hound?
Fully hound right now. Fully hound.
I desperately searched in my
pockets for that jerky I knew I had yesterday, but maybe I ate
it, I'm not really sure, and I pull out a morsel of one of my
little travelling packs and open my arms to embrace the dog with
the offering of friendship. You have snacks, Ezra?
There's like. Wait, it talked.
Ezra Talk. Nice to meet you Ezra.
I'm agononic. This is Ezra's snack now and I
hash snack. You give.
Regally present the treat. You have enough.
As if it's not a platter, there's a pup.
I pat my pockets. He, he, he, he, he points his
part to the small little drow child.
Also, it's Regina. You felt that sensation too,
that I described as you were popping back into existence.
Agonon did. Are you talking to me?
Sorry, I said. Regina felt that as well.
Yeah, 'cause I returned to up here where everyone was.
So that's my dad. I am Regina.
I'm. Hello.
I'm a 10 year old dro elf. My parents are no longer here so
this is my wolf dad. OK, this makes more sense now.
Yeah. So I reach out into my mouth,
pull out a Pebble, and I present you with it.
Will you be my friend? Absolutely, little Missy.
This is a token of friendship and might as well be a pinky
Paramus. Oh, I have two friends now, yay.
And OK, So what does the Pebble look like?
Just a dusty little like piece of something you'd find on the
ground. OK.
Because it came from the ground. I tuck it into a special little
pocket. It is very small, but is the
only pocket I have that very securely fastens.
Oh well, I'm honored. The ancient equivalent of a
zipper, perhaps? All right, well, glad to have a
friend. I guess seem that we're all,
we're all talking in regular, regular people ways.
Ezra's going, Ezra's going to shift back into a form that
looks more human. I take kind of a step back, not
in fear but of just surprise, and it's now hitting me.
I kind of start to look around and where I am is sinking in and
that I'm still apparently not awake.
And you guys hear him muttering something about Steve.
You have no idea who the heck Steve is.
I'm like he's pinching himself. He's looking around clearly
confused and giving you all looks wondering.
But is this real? Doesn't really seem to be folk
really treating you like real people and talking just kind of
like not making eye contact. Looking around, starting.
He starts to kind of wander off because he's not fully convinced
this is real. Yes.
So what does Agonon look like by the way?
If. We got so agonon is mid 30s air
genocide or genasi. I'm not quite sure how to say
this. Basically child of an air genie.
He's a Ranger, so he's dressed in dark leather armor and his
skin is a shocking paperwhite. His hair a pretty much black
with a slight dark blue indigo tint, or not indigo maybe, maybe
more of a bluish teal tint. And his skin you you think it's
paperwhite, but sometimes it looks like it's ever so slightly
bluish teal, ever so slightly. And he has on his skin faint
bluish teal markings. Pretty.
Almost like tattoos, almost veiny, but they're clearly
natural and not applied. Oh, and blue eyes.
And then has anyone here ever encountered age Nasi?
Please correct me if I'm saying that wrong.
Janasi. Yeah, I was just about to say,
Yeah, I think that's how. Janasi, OK.
Yeah. OK.
And. Goodnight, Johnny.
Goodnight. Goodnight.
Goodnight I. Miss you, Johnny, they miss.
You. I know her husband.
Responsible adult, my friend, And even though there is no wind
presence, you swear that there's a light breeze blowing through
his hair. So you in front of you, you see
a six foot two really tan skin built like a shit brick house
guy basically that transformed from the wolf into the guys in
front of you with like basically jerking pants and a a pelt on
on, you know, basically rolling his shoulders, kind of looking
at you and just start sniffing. I Ezra.
Hello Ezra, it's good to meet you again.
And so how old is does Ezra look?
Sorry. Ezra looks like he'd be his late
20s, but he looks a little bit younger since he ate a little
object earlier. So he got a little bit a little
younger. His he, he started going a
little salt and pepper and then that just kind of went away.
Agonon starts rubbing his eyes, and he's he's clearly confused.
Looking around. He's like, did you all just come
here from a big table? Like where?
Where is this precisely? Did you get the big compliment?
Am IA way I went after a coin and then it launched me.
Didn't you see much around? No.
Ezra and you start to see propagating through the ceiling
a coin as if it was phasing through the the ceiling
currently like dripping down almost like slowly inching.
Can we say I'm under it? Can we say that I'm under it?
And like in a trance, 'cause that's what I'm doing.
Yes, you did. Regina up and then just like
takes a couple steps back, like let's move out of this.
So we're all looking up right now.
I I would assume. Agnon is just.
Stupidly pointing you mentioned a coin.
He's just stupidly pointing. Still very dumbfounded as to if
this is real. What's going on?
And as you're doing that, Ezra goes from human bipede, you
know, human bipedal, to big wolf about.
Looks like he gained about a foot in height to werewolf mode.
I'm ready to get you. Oh yeah, I want to get you this
time. I want to get.
You. It looks like it's about to fall
on my head because I am underneath of it in a trance,
paying attention. Oh shit, we should move
Franklin. Franklin.
Can you hear me? Hey, no, he doesn't.
So. Damn there.
For your information, Emily sitting cross legged on the
ground is if you've ever read the children's books or seen the
show Franklin the Turtle. No, I haven't.
That's what you see. Oh really?
Oh. Is it like a Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle? No, he's a Boy Scout.
He's a child, so you see. Yeah, you see.
Sitting cross legged about a preteen turtle.
So a human turtle. So like a teenage mutant turtle.
But he wears tattered Boy Scout uniform, his eyes are pitch
black and his skin seems to be crawling as you look at him.
The he has a ring on his finger which suddenly vanishes.
And then everyone here who can sense auras now know that he is
fully undead and fully evil, as that was being hidden before and
now he no longer has the item that does that.
And he's also Ezra's best friend.
Yeah, and he, he is not paying attention.
He's in a trance. Eye is kind of like blanked out
or like that Milky kind of like white as he like mutters to
himself. He's like, there's a couple guys
of the robe up here. I could probably eat them.
Is this guy with us? Yeah, yeah, this is a Franklin.
You see a four foot two pale skinned, pale haired woman
talking to you in very tattered noble garb and leather armor as
she like sets Regina down the little child and she walks over
to Ezra and Franklin and she kind of like tugs on Franklin's
arm and she's like Ezra, we need to move him.
We don't want him to get crushed.
I got catch. I got catch.
I attempt to drag Franklin from the spot.
You can drag him, he's pretty late.
He's literally skin and bones, not even skin.
As you grab him, your hands sinks through the flesh of his
arm or wherever you grab as like the bugs that make up his skin
crawl around you. You feel yourself grab his like
bone arm and you're able to very easily shift him and the rest of
you see just a big swarm of insects kind of like ass sloth
off him like skin before reacting and jumping back on him
and reforming his skin. Gnarly.
Yeah, I would probably call out to the bugs.
I'm like, hey, keep up. Sorry about that.
Now. Since they like babysit my child
in the pocket rocket, I'm just like Yep, bugs, it's fine.
I'm. Going to get a closer look
without stepping under the coin. So where is Franklin at this
point? I'm going to try to drag him
back but I can't pick up his. Character I don't have I'm.
Not I got. You I got.
I got it there. Where'd you?
I'm scouting. Oh, I see it.
So currently the coin is like situated right on the center of
that right there. Oh, I thought this was.
I thought this was Franklin. Oh no, that's.
Fast. Oh yeah, he's not, he's not
he's, he doesn't exist currently.
Oh, OK, that's OK. The token looked undead.
I see now. I get it.
No, the turtle is.
Undead Undead Turtle is ready. But yeah, I just kind of like
drag Franklin out of the way and I'm just like, looking up at the
coin, making sure I've got him far enough away.
And I'm like, I think this is safe.
And I'm like, Ezra, Are you sure you got that?
Ezra good. Agonon is fully fixated on a
Franklin. Just fascinated.
Like not disgusted, just very. Just interested.
So you're, you're prepared right under the coin.
You see, Ezra? Yes.
As you're, as you're walking towards Franklin, I guess.
And you set Regina down and drag Franklin back.
I'm assuming Regina, you follow Ash, though, Still kind of like
at her heels, yeah. That, that, that's got to work.
That's got to work. You're going to want to roll me
a strength check, Ezra. Yeah.
Actually an athletics more specifically, if that's the one
that strikes with strength, I always get those two.
Yeah, it is. OK, acrobatics.
OK, Yeah. And what's great about being
barbarian? It's strength related.
All right, do, do, do. Are you serious?
I rolled the same thing twice, 14 Oh, this going to be this
going to hurt a little bit. Stretch, stretching, stretching.
As you guys are watching or not watching prospectively, you hear
a whistling in the air and for those that are looking at Ezra,
I'm guessing I you're going to try and jump up and catch it
like a frisbee. Yes, I am.
Oh my. Is it like the giant coin size?
It is still from the. Table it is it is the giant coin
size. The thing is like 5 feet wide,
but it it is coming down edge first currently.
So as you jump up and kind of like situate your jaw under it
to to grab it from everyone else's perspective, it almost
like Olivia zings down from the ceiling just and we're going to
roll. Rolled it me.
Come get some.
Massive damage. Yeah, man.
Yeah. It's OK, he can take it.
It's a coin. Wait, wait, wait.
Is is, is is this a? Is this a magical coin?
It's from the table. It's the table coin.
But is the table coin magical? From I'm being generous, don't
worry. So y'all know what the?
Table literally. We know some of the things, but
you gave me a lot. Of good information, yeah.
We are aware of the table. The table.
So you you all have been there. Where is there?
Where is here I I need some answers.
You meant it. I'm not paying attention.
You managed to catch the coin in your jaws, but you feel it pull
you still continually down straight to the ground.
So you're like you kind of feel maybe like a dislocating in your
jaw, but everybody else hears the as it sinks itself into the
ground. This coin and you're on the top
of it somehow as it's like re weighted itself as you kind of
slowed 1 edge of it down. The other side was still moving
faster. So it's it was still technically
heavier and it's that side sunk into the ground as you're
holding onto the top of it. You know Ezra.
Raises hands of victory going I did it.
And you took that 30 damage? Yes he did. 1515 I took all 15
of that. No, I think it would actually
have gone through your resistances.
I apologize. With the holy.
Shit, I'll take that 30, I'll take that 30.
I'll take it. I know, I know, I know.
You will. Thanks.
For taking the team. Oh no, he he raised his head
like this is victory for him. I win.
A lot of risk for a big acorn. I, I'm watching all this happen.
I'm like, man, that's a, that's a big coin now.
And I turn, I turn to you Agonon, and I'm like, OK, so
some of us have been to this table, but only some of us.
I have not. I have only heard about this
table. The table I started at was a
normal sized table in a room in a labyrinth.
And now we're in hell. So that's where you are right
now. That's not fun.
I should introduce you to Steve. Steve, have snacks.
Oh. Get out of hell.
What say what now? Will Steve help us get out of
hell? Like like a bad like bad dream
hell. Are we talking actual factual
hell? Actual factual hell.
You know, 9 levels of hell. Wait, is it 917?
I don't know, There's a lot of. Them 13. 13 I mean, I knew I
wasn't that good in life, but I don't, I don't.
He just kind of sits down. I look at you and I'm like, I
don't think we're dead. Did your parents forget you here
too? Oh no, though I I never met
those. No, never had.
Never, never had any of those. Ezra looks down and Regina
launches and I caught it. That Regina was launching into
what her parents did do her. Ash claps.
Wait, so they just, they just kind of they, they were done
with you and they just kind of dropped you off like like in a
school bus like. So we were, we were just
shopping for some groceries and you know, they're going to come
back. But for now, I have my new dad.
I have my mom. I gesture towards this pile of
roots that's floating in the air that's kind of shaped like a
skull. This is my mom, and this is my
dad. I gesture toward the werewolf
and this is my I'm confusedly gesturing toward Ash.
This is my What are we I? Don't.
Know what are we because. You asked if I would be your
parent. I mean, like, I could just be a
foster mom. That's fine.
So I have two moms and a dad, but my other parents are going
to come back any minute now. So wait, the skull is not
moving? Or is it clearly a piece of
wood? It's it's sentient.
Oh, so it's it's looking at me. Yeah, it's, it's, it's looking
at you. It's looking.
At me and I'm looking at it. It has kind of.
It's eye sockets are looking at you.
Yeah. It has a gun too.
Yeah. That it's holding what?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's holding like spot at you
Regina's mom. It's like it's got it's got it
like in the root stem of like what you would consider almost
like a brain stem. And the whole thing looks like a
mass of coagulated roots ball that's shaped in a skull.
I. Know what the thumbnails.
Mean volume all on that one and you try to digest what that even
means. I I'll go over to Franklin real
quick and what his he's experiencing.
If oh, did you have something else Virginia?
Oh, I was just going to describe Mom's skull.
The closest thing I could picture would be the from
SpongeBob and the Chocolate episode.
That's exactly what I was pitching picturing exactly.
OK, so it's the the grandma from the episode of SpongeBob where
they're selling chocolate and she's like, what are they
selling? So that's that's kind of what it
looks like. Agonon raises one hand palm
towards grandma or mother, smiles and kind of just wiggles
his finger in a very timid wave. Kind of does a little finger
wiggle wave like. Mom's going to lift up a root
and wiggle back. All of that is transpiring while
something else is happening in the timeline currently with your
swarm there, or at least a portion of it there.
Franklin went through the metal lined hallways as described for
last time, and you were standing at an intersection that you were
looking into a more rough cut hewn in place cavernous looking
spot that they are a collection of individuals.
Yellowish green color, more yellow than green skinned folk
were look like. Looks like they're counting
coins and or slotting them into bars and as well as bars of
golds and such is what they're mainly doing.
Damn, I am speaking this through my voice that you guys can hear.
I describe what I'm seeing in front of me because last I knew
I was scouting. Actually, do I feel the other
part of my swarm die? I don't I.
Don't know are you like physically linked like that?
We are. I know that you can.
I know that you can see through their eyes and everything.
So yes that to answer your question then yes, you would
feel them slowly suffocate and die.
Fuck, as well that that reminds me that I meant to mention
something to yourself and Ash, which is you're the only well,
Regina to one of the things that usually happens after eurythmic
veracity right, is that I I tell you that you're you're coming
back instantaneously, as if you had just felt like a dream of
what happened during eurythmic veracity right, but since you
guys were all at that table at the end, you guys all made it up
there. I I you no longer feel that
sensations. It's as if that all had
transpired moments before and you're jolted back into your
body, but also, though it doesn't feel that concerning as
as like you know, wouldn't be creating a Nosebleed currently.
So you you're wondering if you can get those now from thinking
about those? Yeah, like having that little
thought, I'm like, man, I I need to have a talk Franklin about
whatever the fuck that is, but I'm still continuing to hold on
to Franklin's R. Franklin's swearing under his
breath. Motherfucker can't believe he
fuck it didn't work. I don't wanna anyway.
I see a rope. There's like four eyes out there
and they got a bunch of gold in there.
We could probably go kill him. What do these guys look like?
It's out loud because you're back to yourself.
I would not be back to myself. I'm just speaking while I'm
looking through this thing's eyes, but feeling them die and
seeing kind of like what we're immediately up against.
I think I would, once you move me.
Hey, He. He blinks and the the white
milkiness from his eyes fade back to like a pure black and he
looks around at everyone notices the new person stands up and he
has a very different look about him now.
He breaches into his pocket and he pulls out two pairs of
eyeballs and he reaches up to his own eyes and he rips one of
them out and he replaces it with one of the eyeballs in his
pocket. Yep, Yep.
OK. Yep.
Are are you going to eat that? No, I actually got this other
one for you, Ezra. I promised you a snack.
This is from my mortal anatomy. Ezra trots right.
She loves snack. I eat it.
I take a step back and I'm like, well, Franklin, didn't you even
feel that? No, I can't.
I raised my eyebrows and pressed.
Second later the the wound heals hopefully with the new eye
intact, giving me a like that hetachromatic pure black and
then a white eye with a blue pupil.
I would say that it sort of heals, but maybe not as optimal
as you thinking, especially around the around the area
because you don't have flesh anymore and they're just as
you've described like the the smallest of tiny cricket type
bugs that have been making up your skin in different hues and
shades and everything. So around the eye it kind of
does look like a little like a little bit more bulbous maybe
than the other one like it. That's totally fine.
Like a mad eye Moody look. Yeah.
He stepped up off the ground where he was cross legged, turns
to the others and says stage 2 is complete.
We're going to be going to Stage 3 yet.
But just so you guys go ahead of us, there is a large number of
hallways and tunnels, lots of choke points.
And I did see a room with about four or five of these gobbler
guys with a bunch of gold. I'll.
Turn around, see the new person and be like oh hi and I walk up
and I hold up my head. I have Franklin, do you want to
hug? He puts out one hand, smiles, is
not repulsed, but just bewildered.
I hug you, but it's not just me, it's also like 1/2 billion
insects that are all individually hugging you.
I feel loved so much so. Let's step back.
You guys just get deliveries is you're all kind of going on like
it's a a normal day of the week. Oh, does this just happen?
Yep, it is. Does what?
Oh, I keep going. Weird stuff happens.
It's just typical Tuesday. She's asking them all the time.
How long have you all been here? It's just about pulling your
fingers. Ezra's like 10 3 A.
Smile. What comes after three?
I don't know. I never learned how to read or
count. Here you can.
Use. Smash Smash will come after
three. Four comes after three.
I write that down. I want to roll a history check
to see if Ash can actually like track the passage of time since
she has been traveling from the table in the labyrinth to this
level of hell. I'm going to incite Ash to
seeing that because we're both experiencing it and probably
Regina both. Experiencing what?
You don't wanna have nosebleeds when you think about what's
really going on. So everyone around me just said
simultaneously start leaking. Not Ezra.
Not anymore.
We used to. Yeah.
And Ezra's not thinking about things very hard.
So generally he doesn't. So it kind of worked out in that
sense of things those. Were hard.
I think about a lot of things. But not not meta magic or magic
meta meta meta things like things that happen in the real
world. Because you haven't even made it
to the point where you realize you have other cells I guess is
part of the other reason that hasn't happened started
happening for you yet. Just work was bull crap.
No, sorry about that. I agree.
We missed you. I missed you too.
It would have. Been more put up over there.
There were so many of us. Turned to Emily.
I think I've been here for several 1000 years.
Taking on. He starts wandering 20.
Five history? Check.
Be careful, there's a lot of enemies around here.
If they attack you, I'm pretty sure you're like level 1 and
you'll die instantly. I can't bring you back.
Though it's more of like he's meandering aimlessly, like he
wants to go and do something but he doesn't have a goal.
So he's like walking, putting his hands on his hips, walking
again, putting his hands on his hips, like he is on the verge of
having an idea, but it's just not there.
I get that. OK.
Turn the others. So yeah, there's the there's a
room ahead with some goblins in it and gold.
Do we want to like go take those guys or do we want to go to the
pocket rocket? Give our new acquaintance here a
chance to deal with her new life.
Ezra rears back. You said snacks as you.
Yeah, there's some of that are on the room.
Punch door down. Oh, and I, I.
There's no door. I don't do male voices very
well, but this character is a male.
My other one will be female. Oh, you're good.
That's. Yeah, the token, the token is
misleading, Yeah. It's totally up to each.
Person. Yeah, totally good.
I I should have asked, but I didn't.
It was my apologies there too. No worries.
I just do it because it helps me get into that specific frame of
mind because I don't normally think this violently.
Yeah, imagine, you know Flynn Ryder from Tangled.
Yep, yes. Imagine that kind of character.
White skin and blue black hair. Thanks.
Are you going to do this when? You draw.
So while you guys were talking, if you could roll me or your
swarm, Franklin, an Intelligence saving throw, a one second,
there's going to be a couple, a Dexterity saving throw.
I can go slower. They use mine.
So Intelligence. Let's see, Intelligence +4.
That's not great. Two intelligence and that he
won. Sorry.
Oh God. Oh God, please Jesus 23 and A1.
23 on the second one. OK, what is Jesus?
They make the second one and then a Dexterity saving throw 15
They make that one as well and then a two Strength saving
throws. It's like I'm like I'm making a
recipe here of of 18 that. One saves routine going on over
there. And then the 23 saved.
Pretty sure I just triggered a bunch of traps.
And then finally a Constitution saving throw.
Oh. Nine OK, so it looks like the
the only two of the six that were you don't experience it,
but you feel let's see here this one is let's see.
Does that come all the way through there?
I can't, I don't think. And then in five, OK OK, so does
28 damage kill the swarm? Let me look.
Pretty sure it does, but. That sounds about almost there.
Yes, it will OK. So that that portion of your
swarm, you feel actually it may have not even gone all the way
through those. I just was rolling just to see
because I didn't know if that actually you might as well.
But the very, yeah, because I didn't know what was going to
exactly happen, but those were all happening basically all the
same time. You felt like beams basically
from the swarm because you weren't looking through the
eyes. You don't know exactly what
happened, but you felt them die. Immediately stands up and
transforms into his form of dread and takes off and I say
ever a couple with me. They killed it.
They killed a boss. Did you, did you say break the
door? We the doors not locked.
We can open the door. Yeah, so when you kicked it, it
just immediately opened for you. Wow.
So my form of dread suddenly bursting from me, my entire
swarm flies around in a 5 foot radius.
I grow about to maybe like 2 times my regular size, so like
or maybe like 2/3. So like a full 6 foot instead of
four feet. I'm a full skeleton monster with
a black floating crown above my head and an aura of like conquer
of of menace flows around me. But to all of my allies, it
feels super friendly and welcoming.
I just let the swarm of bugs just kind of crawl over my skin
and I'm just standing there and I'm like, hi, Franklin.
We're under attack. We have to go.
Oh, he just has his mouth open. He's like pointing the skeleton,
pointing at something else, bounce kind of flapping around,
no words coming out. This is Ezra and Go time.
Where? Where are we going?
We're currently in the we're current as we're like moving
forward. We're currently in the lair of
Kai Shad, who is an elder braid on the fourth level, third
level. I don't remember a level of hell
in his spaceship. He offered us a deal so that we
could join him in space, but I don't really believe him.
But I have a better option. But first, we're going to kill
all these guys in his house. Cool, cool.
No thanks. Ezra heard snacks, snacks,
snacks, snacks, snacks and. What kind of point Ezra in the
right direction they're. Up there to the right and the
other right. Right.
So you guys should see the hallway before you as you make
it down just a couple feet down, it more or less is a straight
shot to to your perspective that you're running currently.
You say left or right. That's the this arm.
Holds up. One that has an actual skin on
it. With a bunch of smaller hallways
and looks like doors off to either side.
You go over to that door, Ezra that you see, you open it and
you see a bunch of levers and a some.
It's a small room. It's a bunch of levers.
And like a attorney, deal with nothing else in it.
OK, second, right. Agonon is lagging behind just
because he doesn't want to be left alone in a place he doesn't
quite even understand right, Doesn't, doesn't really think
this is real yet. He just knows that the only
answers are with you guys and you seem nice enough.
Ezra Ezra Kind does the does the does the point 2nd right?
Buddy, go get him. I want to try to be alert as I
can for whatever we're running past like I was like, guys, are
there any perhaps down here that we should be aware of?
I. Mean my swarm just went through
this space. And how did they do?
They, I mean, they died later on once they stopped paying
attention. So I'm they're pretty dead over
here. OK, so this is cool here.
Yeah, you get right there, Ezra. You're rounding the corner and
you see a large pile of dead crickets on that step down into
that dune looking chamber after the lead hallways.
Ezra's kind of sad now, and now he's angry.
Where's the bad thing? You look look farther if you're
going to actually are you you're, I'm guessing not rolling
stealth immediately look around the corner, I guess and see a
bunch of creatures in this room that are looking ready to
they've they've probably actually moved since you guys
started moving too. We'll move them down to here and
there is a creature behind there the initial ranks and we're
going to roll initiative. Probably not.
Am I? Supposed to be seeing these
creatures. You should be stopped where
you're at and you cannot see them where where you're at.
For this you'll want to select your character before you try to
roll initiative because that way like the token that you're on
then that way it'll populate. If I have this up too, oh jeez.
21 for Ezra. Yeah, I I clicked too fast.
Sorry. No worries, it was my fault.
I tried to pre empt it but I also didn't manage the character
selection properly. I realized because Warren and
Vermont were still in here. I cannot see my character
anymore, everything is grey. Oh no, wait.
Your character kind of vanished. I clicked on the settings of the
character. You were there.
She was. Yeah, I was right here.
Oops, what? Yeah, you may have.
Did you delete system 32 on your character?
I went to go set the name setting for the character.
That's all I did and then. This happened.
The only cares about is where's his pup and who killed The Who
killed the the crickets? You can see Regina, right?
Me. Regina.
Regina is this wait, is this Regina right here?
OK there. We go right there, yeah.
OK, he's probably safe paste. Oh, I can see things now.
Cool, I just put the token back. So yeah, it somehow must have
gotten deleted. Weird.
OK. Yeah.
And initiative, That's the Dexterity modifier, yes.
If you're using, if you're using rule 20, it's literally at the
very top of the your care sheet page says initiative.
But yeah, if you're using rule 20 you haven't had things set
up, just it's AD 20 plus dex mod.
Character sheet page. Where is that on?
The character sheet page, it'd be the top OK.
On the actual paper, it's top metal.
What symbol? It would look like a.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm looking. You mean the D&D Beyond
character sheet? Yep, yeah.
I mean, Oh. I'm sorry, I was looking in roll
20. OK, so let's see, I do a four
and AD 20, did that work? Sounds like sounds like I heard
something come through but. Let me see.
Do do do. Yep.
Oh. That's four D 20s.
Now how do I do a + 4 to AD 20? If you just click the one the
word says initiative by your character portrait, it'll do it.
Oh. I can just magic.
Cool. I didn't realize it was a
button, that's cool. I think we got everybody here.
Ezra going to hurt some stuff. Ezra's going to hurt some stuff.
All right. Now I'm going to be on another
screen and briefly ask you for those initiatives again, just a
as a read off initiative if you could, the ones that you got. 21
for Ezra. Thank you, 2525.
Just 20. Oh, not bad.
Still good though. Franklin. 88 I have a -1 He's
this little boy. Regina.
He's got the moving seat of the Dead 11. 11 yeah, Agonon. 17 for
Agonon. Not bad, all right?
I still will say that they had held themselves ready.
So they will get a first round of things here as you round the
corner, Ezra. But then you guys will go
immediately after them because of the initiative rolls.
But let's see here. So we got that guy in front, OK.
Oh. I have wrong mounts on this side
so the there should be a total of 6 of these guys.
Here we go, don't mind me the 1st.
Corpses. The first rank moves 1/2.
Step forward before you close your eyelids and blink in there.
Let me make sure that this distance is correct and Yep,
they are right on that top step right before you as you blink.
And blink. OK, that's.
And OK, they make 2 all right. Only it looks like if, as
they're keeping their rank marching straight up to you,
only the two closest to you looks like.
I. Think no, only the one.
Only the one really. No, no, no, he he probably yeah,
he those two would that first one would actually try to swing
at you and then the other two would go for.
So I know what exactly what they would do.
That first one is going to swing at you with advantage to hit,
which it already looks like it's a 27 if if that hits I'm
assuming. No, no, no.
Of course not. Why would that hit?
I have a 21 that hits. OK, I I thought as much the the
IT it does 23 damage, you feel it's sliced into your hide
making a deep gouge of 12 damage and then your mind starts to
reel as it feels almost like the blade is trying to force your
mind out of your body of a psychic damage for 23 total.
It doesn't succeed. It doesn't seem like, but that's
just the sensation you get. They are so, so getting fucked
up. Yeah, the other two teleport.
They blinked again. And just beside you.
Just give that their friend advantage.
But he didn't need it. Give them flanking you.
That's when they see Franklin and Regina down the hallway, but
they're probably done with their turn.
And then the second rank that was just behind them also
marched directly up to the bottom step, though with their
swords ready and a look on their face of a silent look.
But it almost looks like they're all communicating in or they've
radically that they they haven't said a word since you guys have
entered the space. And I'm just making sure, Ezra,
you can actually see this before I say describe it.
Yeah, you can. I think Franklin may be able to
enrich Unit 2. Or in the room you see a
floating, whited out eyeless tentacle creature that's in the
center of it. In the center of the room.
In the center of the cavernous room, just around to the corner.
I don't think I see it yet. Yeah, I don't see it.
Nothing. I see right to here, but there's
nothing beyond that. Can't see?
Yeah, you can't see a point. No, yeah, I can see.
I can see all the way. I can see all the way up to.
Here, I mean, I can see it, it's an illuminated, but there's
nothing there. Yeah, same.
Might be on DM layer. Yeah, I can't.
Yeah, it is floating upward towards the ceiling too.
So I think I checked you guys pass the perceptin and all three
of you should be able to see it. So.
Oh, I look. Passive.
Oh, hello there. Yep, it has done nothing at this
particular point in time and is letting the others do what seems
like it's work. Now we'll start in the actual
turn order with Ezra at the top. Ezra's about the fucks machine
up. Who's the closest any many money
MO Franklin says to RIP you all apart any many year it so that
is bonus action activating Primal Savagery 21 to hit.
Do I hate that? Please say 21.
OK, Josh. You had like a long silence,
man. You gonna, you gonna, you gonna
give me a heart attack? Gotta build, just gotta get,
gotta build the suspense right. Oh yeah, and now as a response
to it, let's see 12 and then my rage bonus is currently.
Let me look that thing up. I want some rage bonus +3 this
low. Oh Lord, I have to look that up
real quick. I keep forgetting what my rage
bonus is. That's very important.
That's more damage. Also, Ash, you're on deck, just
so you know. Nope.
OK. Here we go.
Yeah, my rage bonus is +3. So.
So it was 1212 acid from my claws with eight slashing behind
it. I don't know if I need this.
That's why I separated them. From each other, Yeah.
No, I appreciate that. I appreciate that I'm just
saying it out loud. Out loud so that my brain does
the math properly. And extra attack do the thing
make me happy critical. Critical.
Yes. Ezra's eating good tonight. 5,
25 and 13 is 38, 38 acid and eight slashing. 38 acid man the
last time it must have been a shit roll.
Holy crap. Crit.
That's the thing about oh, right, double it.
Yeah, Crit. Right.
Sorry. What was it again 38 and what?
3838 acid and eight slashing. 46 He's looking pretty bloody as
you RIP into him with your claws and and teeth.
Let's see, I would do the disadvantage bonus action
attack, but I use my bonus action to activate Primal
Savagery, so I'm out of actions. You want to describe any of
those? So all they since they all
landed. Oh yeah, he, he went, you know,
full on claws, right? RIP RIP retching through the
chest and then took a huge like gouging bite to to the towards
the shoulder and it just when he made contact you could basically
hear the sizzle as Ezra's claws and teeth made contact to the
body. OK, then we got Ash.
I've started. I've heard something go down so
I'm just going to like make my way down the hallway.
Ezra has started snack time. You get to the intersection,
look to your right and see Ezra being engaged by three yellow
skinned sword bearing individuals with a bit of armor
on. Do I recognize these yellow
skinned individuals? I don't think you would have any
experience with them. No, they, they, they're, they're
kind of elven in their features, but also slightly orkish, but
also slightly goblin, goblin esque.
So you're, you're, you're unfamiliar with them.
I would say unless you you want to roll a specific history check
and think about it. See if there's anything in your
in your histories that you've learned. 20. 2 + 10 and a 22.
You remember the vaguest reference in a book that you
read about ancient creatures that had come up from the depths
of hell long ago to raid some of the upper reaches of Tareth, but
you thought it was a legend more than actual fact.
Do I remember if the legend talked about any weaknesses
these guys had? The legend only spoke of their
strengths, which is that they can teleport seemingly short
distances as well as slice down and attack even some of the
gods. That's why they seem to be
legends. OK, so I'm going to come up
right here. And which one is the bloody
version? The The Bloodied 1 Catch 1
Regina. Which one were you attacking
there, Ezra? Ezra, I was attacking this one.
He ended up being that guy. Which one's this one?
I didn't see the ping. Yeah, I didn't see the ping
happen. Oh, wait, on the to the to the
north, to the South. I'd be the one.
That's if you were. He was the one like right below
me. Yeah, that one.
That's doubt. Got it.
For some reason not letting me pink.
Why is it not letting me pink? I don't know.
Oh OK, I see what? I see what I did wrong.
There it is. OK so I'm going to look up at
this bloodied 1 and I'm just like alright we got to get rid
of you and I'm going to cast which bolt upon this creature a
26 to hit. That'll hit.
Do it. Do it.
I I I strike a dueling pose and
blue lightning snaps out of my hand into the creature, doing 18
damage. 18 What kind of damage? Lightning.
Damage. Thank you.
He's like, especially as the bolt strikes through him and it
seems like it stops his heart for a second.
So he kind of grabs his chest with his off hand before slowly
using his. Seems like fairly good training
to to grasp his sword again with two hands and still standing,
but barely. Still standing.
OK. But just barely.
Standing where I'm standing, I'm going to turn to Franklin and
I'm just going to put my hand on his shoulder and I'm like, you
are strong, you are powerful. You are.
Evil destroy this motherfucker and I spend a bardic
inspiration. I hug you.
I will I. Hug you back.
I'll kill him. Good.
Also talking is a free action for your for Agonon who is new
to our combat play style. So oh that, that's nice.
You are next to if you're done with your turn Ash.
I did forget to say that you were on deck.
Yeah, I am done. That's it.
All right, after some creatures, it looks like Regina, you'll be
up, just so you know. All right, But it is Agonon's
turn. That's fine.
OK, so Agonon is going to stealthily attempt to stealthily
creep forward and peek his little nose around the corner,
Take a little look, little look, See.
Maybe he's here. Then he's looking around.
Go. Ahead and go ahead and roll.
You go ahead and roll stealth. You could hide behind some of
the pipes and such that are coming in and out of different
walls and floors and such that are just around the corner too.
Stealth check. Do I hit this button?
Cool, that's not very nice and I I sent a GIF to the general chat
of his expression at the carnage and he's just.
Going to I mean, that's an accurate representation that
looks like an accurate representation of what people
see, see and look like when then Reza does work.
So yeah, he's just going to come go send that thing right back
where it came from. He's like you, you guys look
like you can handle this and he's just going to hang out with
the little pipe friends over here.
That's all it looks like.
It looks like you can see their eye the the first 3 that are
attacking. Ezra's eyes flick to you as you
come around the corner, hiding behind the pipe, but don't give
you any any heed. So they they're aware of you,
but you're hiding far enough back.
All right. Interesting these guys here.
Did everyone read read off their passives, by the way?
Oh yeah. Passive perception, yeah.
And stealth is Dexterity based, right?
Yes. Yes.
We need to roll stealth because I just rolled it.
No, I'm rolling a stealth. Apologies.
OK, my passive perception for Ash is 23. 22 for me.
Guessing I I I should have go ahead 13 for Regina.
So pass Perez for a 16. Regina and your passive is over.
Help me out here guys, we're just looking.
Left hand side, second box or second box down under saving
throws if you're on D&D Beyond. Yeah, so you didn't notice
either, even to the point where you are standing currently.
But Franklin and Ash, you realize after the fact as these
creatures on the ceiling it seems like have been slowly
walking and walked around the corner and on the ceiling
dropped down probably on the first line here on top of
Franklin and Ezra and Ash looks like being out in the front
there. Well, it's just Franklin.
No, wait, here are. Those poor creatures.
Definitely Ezra. What was the?
Ezra's passive is 16. My passive perception is 22,
passive investigation is also 22 and then inside is 11.
You're, you're noticing, just so you have, you know, a chance to
react, but these creatures are dropping and they look like
machine creatures that were crawling on the ceiling before.
They just drop straight down on top of you.
And you said the. Danger sense or if D OK.
Did just as they're doing their thing.
Which oof. OK, or?
Will this activate danger sense? Can I react?
Yeah, yes, you can. You you can react for Ash and
Franklin. You guys noticed it as it
happening but but you cannot Ezra as you were you were.
Well, if this is like a Dexterity type, if this is like
a Dexterity thing for them doing it to me it'd be dangerous since
triggers off. Oh, no, no.
So they're just going to be attacking currently it's going
to be an A, it's going to be an AC thing.
I'm just letting you know that those two are the able to react
to the situation as it's happening.
Basically what is because they do have reactions.
What does what does Franklin stuff do for us again?
I forgot. Oh, the.
Orums everybody gets a plus for it to all of their saving throws
while they are within 10 feet of me.
This was not a saving throw for noticing that they were
attacking passive. So OK, so they are attacking.
They are about to, that is their turn up next year.
I'm just, I'm, I was just letting you know that they were
about to do so and know that you were able to do anything about
it because you notice it as it's happening.
Got it. But OK, interesting.
Ah, OK. Yep.
So yeah, the there's only two of them.
They drop down on Ash and Franklin, probably just to
disorient the second line there because the the first line of
Ezra is already preoccupied. So you guys have a chance to
act. But they're dropping down from
the ceiling and they're they're tiny little gear, like mouths
open up to bite. We'll go with Ash, a 16 to hit
and Franklin, a 17 to hit. Yes, it does hit for me and I do
have a reaction of Hellish Rebuke and I guess I will use
that at 4th level. Oh nice.
And they need to make a Dexterity saving throw of 19.
They take 43 damage, or half that.
They succeed. Or three it sounds like with an
8 and it's what kind of damage? Fire damage The creature that
damaged you is momentarily surrounded by green flames.
They. Put so not natural fire.
No, and some of the bits and pieces that aren't metal or the
like start to melt inside of it. You smell this acrid smell as it
as it burns in its flames. It doesn't make any sound or
anything, but it does slow slightly and look less worse for
the wear. But as you're doing such as
well, it also sends a jolt through you.
Yeah, what kind of damage do I take?
Is that A to hit? Is that how it came through?
I thought you said it was. A weird no I it should be 10
lightning damage, but I'm looking at how this reads again
here. The jolt.
Oh, it's a range spell attack, that's why I didn't.
I misunderstood that it it jolts itself for it doesn't even it
would would still not hit itself anyways.
Interesting. Yeah, I thought that lightning
jolt was more of like a thing that would happen if I was doing
something already interesting. OK, I guess it would do more of
this than actually some dot ranged with A14 and an 8 hit,
which neither of those hit. It sounds like for you Ash, how
much was it 1414 and an 814 hits.
OK, so it's slow. It's it because it's slowed
down. The second one misses through
the air towards you can see it's like but there's a saw that it's
holding to as it trying as it as it was biting onto cutting into
you for three damage. Ouch you.
Got to and then a person of lands.
Yep, and it's and it's like biting at you.
Like it said too, that for the first one and then Franklin, you
said the bite didn't hit, but as it lands at your feet, it sounds
like you, it kind of bites at your at your insects and kind of
phases through those confusedly and then swings the saw at you.
If it comes within 5 I have a aura.
Hold on. Things that enter my range get
hurt. Yeah, yeah, they're, they're
dropping down from the they're both dropping down from the
ceiling. Let.
Me find it a second. Grave touch.
Where's this stupid? So it is
sorry. You're good.
Cloak of flies. There it is five.
Feet around me, any creature that enters takes my charisma
modifier as damage, so. +4 soon as soon as they.
Hit 5 feet away from me, they take damage.
OK. How much?
4. You can see what kind of damage
was it by the way. It is poison.
Nothing happened to. Me, you bastard.
Robots are bullshit. Gotta make them rusty.
Give me flesh. Bags, certainly.
Tastier. True.
And I'm guessing the 10 didn't hit, but there's a 19.
Me to pizza. So you take a a slash, just you
feel it go through the bugs and then just against your bone for
a second for three damage slashing.
Oh, you're a bitch. It looks like I don't know who
can all see this, but the floating eye creature moves
slowly down and lines up. It looks like some of its eyes
that are all Milky and it. Here we go.
OK, yeah, I got to do that. We're in.
Danger. Three of these There we go, all
threes. Weird, weird.
You're going good for us. To all three, make Ash, Franklin
and Ezra a Intelligence saving throw.
Danger sets. Oh it is against Dicks shit. 4 +
40. Your saves.
Plus 40 your saves. +4. +4 so 18. +4. 21. 13.
I'm going to. Get to this thing.
I mean, Ezra's already dumb so it's not a thing.
You guys all see and feel a beam burst forth from these Milky
eyes just towards you and slam into you and you're you.
You get a like Vertigo sense for a second before it washes away.
You all made the save. Holy crap, fuck that guy.
What is that? What is that?
Ezra heads hurt. I don't like it.
And then the three in the back, that of the the the second line
rather let me see here move. OK, they actually I meant to
look this up earlier. What's the normal jumping?
Rule jumping is your strength. I've got, I've actually got it
pulled up. Let me just give my book up real
quick. Do do do do do do note that
button Jesus. It's not enough, not enough.
You're you're limited by your your total movement speed
regardless. So like if you jump you can't
like do a like a long jump doesn't actually like increase
your like distance. That makes sense.
Oh, no, no, no. It actually, it's a so when you
attempt to try to jump usually long distance, it's an athletic
shake. It's an athletic shake.
And your distance that you can cover is because I, we, we had
somebody during AD and D challenge and this literally was
the, you know what saved the like he won the game with this.
You jump a distance, that is your strength.
It's your, it's 15. It's kind of like your load
capacity. You go 15 or not 15-5 or
whatever your strength modifiers like me.
For me, it'd be five times. Your strength.
Your total strength score. Yeah.
And then that's the total vertical jumping distance you
have. What about length though?
You cannot exceed the length of your total movement speed.
OK, so you can catch height, but you cannot go.
You cannot go past your full movement.
Speed I am just looking at. Ferraro could.
Jump 1200 feet. It's your God.
Distance here. Damn across.
Stacks on stacks on stacks. Right.
Yeah, they don't even have to do that, I guess.
Yeah, they get all right into they like all they all seem to
like this, this back row here they all seem to they all seem
to move directly behind the the the second line right
corresponding to each of the other two, three of each other.
And then as they pass each other, you see a brief flicker
of movement as they they they their hands extend to to one
another and utter a slight phrase before jumping all the
way on the other side of the whole party, over top.
Attack of opportunity. Do they enter my range?
The ceiling, How much do they have?
The ceiling in space where you're at currently is 10 feet,
so. I'm 6 foot and with braced out
I'm 7. They would be.
In in in in werewolf form I'm 7 foot.
Well, they would definitely be within your range I would say.
And I don't, I, I, I think it would potentially provoke an
attack of opportunity. But for those under the five
foot or at the five foot even, they would just be out of like I
said, if you Yep. I got nothing.
As you're going to hit some stuff.
I think that's also this case with you, Regina.
If I'm being in like 10 year old or 9 year old, what?
Sorry, you're very short. You're under the five foot mark.
Yes, correct. OK, let's see that was that was
three creatures that moved there.
Yep, 13 does not hit. All right, Dang MO, there we go,
25. That third guy's not getting
past me. No, that 25 does hit.
Yeah, You come back here, little guy, you come back on the other
side. No, no, like Mcente Matambo.
And that will be. Any slashing?
20/20/20 it'd be 20 acid along with eight slashing.
OK, you leave like a boud. Like basketball?
Boom. Leave a deep gouge across across
them from sternum to sternum to groin.
Pries out but still lands on the other side, lagging on the ever
so slightly behind his companions and boxing you guys
all in. Other than it looks like Agonon
who you were still hiding at the pipes and they've kind of
disregarded you at this point. Good.
Yes, all going according to. Plan and then we got the guys in
front, all of which ready their long swords directly at Ezra.
Yep. And that is going to hurt my
friend. I apologize for this in advance.
1 2/3 4. Five Wait, they don't have to
roll to hit me. I am currently rolling to hit
you 6 times. Does any of them break Pest 21?
The first one is a Nat 20 of 24. Fuck, wait a minute, 40.
Oh wait, there's psychics. Fuck, fuck and the.
Another one is 23, not natural obviously with the 24 is the
other one, so there are two that hit you over the 21.
It looks like the first one though, as the natural does a
total of How does this read here?
How did? What did it do I?
Should be right back 2. D 6 + 2 four 4 + 210 OK so yeah,
so it is a 15 2023 damage for the first one.
OK. And you feel that same slashing
mind damage forcing you out with some of that I can I can break
it down if you need for psychic and slashing, but.
Yes, I did. Yeah.
Together so. And then the other one was a
total of 10 damage that hit you. OK, how much of that was the
slashing? Oh, for the first one or the?
For both. For both the.
Slashing was 15 and the psychic was eight for the first one.
OK. All right.
Yep. And then the second one was five
and five, slashing and damp psychic.
OK, I'm OK. I'm OK. 234 I thought I wrote
six. I'm only seeing 4 now when I
looked back. Let me go back through this
whole Dang thing. Let's see.
Oh, wait. OK. 1st 2 didn't roll anything
it looks like I just have question marks in the BNDB on
chat and then the last. They all disappeared for me.
All the ones that you just did, they all disappeared.
Weird. I'm I'm counting 1234 five that
actually made it over to rule 20, so I need to rule one more.
I don't even see it on rule 20 on my side.
I need to refresh my page. A24A17A12A15 and a 23 so I need
12345. So I need to rule one more, not
not two more. What happens when you have so
many massive rolls, I guess. The last.
One still didn't hit anyways, it was 9 OK, but they they all took
calculated swings directly at you and you're able to just
slightly off to one side or the other shift yourself missing
other ones by a hair, you know, getting a slight trim if you
will. And the two of them strike true,
one of which seems to almost be a thrust towards your core.
Then it would be Regina's turn with Franklin on deck.
Don't touch my pup. Don't touch my pup.
All right, we'll get them. All right, so I got them.
They got my dad. I'm going to stick my mom on
them, get the rifle out. All right, so mom can take a
turn. Should I have rolled initiative
for mom or can she just go when I go?
Go when you go. Yeah, that's we association.
They go when you go. OK, so I'm going to aim my.
Necro rifle at which one's closest?
This one right here. The one on the the furthest one
to the bottom. I'm not able to click on it and
light it up, so Mom's gonna aim for that guy.
That's the one that's on the bottom.
Yeah, correct. That one.
And then so I just roll for that on Regina's page.
Have you got the Necco rifle? Yeah, OK, funny.
Where is Regina? I got 10 that does not hit.
Damn it. OK, so I'm going to move it on
to Regina's turn and Regina is going to aim for the same one
and I'm going to cast a lightning bolt at him.
So to do that it's sorry I'm rusty.
So I'm casting a spell I need to.
Lightning bolt is ranged attack, ranged spell attack OK.
So 5 feet wide. I need to move closer then.
So part of my action is I'm going to be moving.
Yeah, between right there. Yeah, between Franklin and Ezra
right here. OK, so now I'm a little bit
closer and then I'm going to shoot this lightning bolt at
this guy. You shouldn't have to move.
You shouldn't have to move for lightning bolt.
Lightning bolt has a should has a range of 120 feet.
Oh shit, I'm looking. It says 5 feet wide.
Never mind. So that's not I didn't have to
move. OK, All right, so all right, so
I'm going to shoot him and I'm going to just spell.
So I have to roll. Do I have to roll the hit or do
I just roll for damage? There should be usually I think
for that one is into the dexterity saving throw.
Does it say oh? Yeah, look at each.
Each each creature in line must make a Dexterity saving throw.
So you probably do want to get in between.
Yeah, because I don't want to. Yeah, I don't want to hit any of
it is five, but it's 5 feet. So if you got in between, it
would hit all of your people. So you could aim or get in the
same space as like Franklin or even or even Ezra, but then
you'd be potentially really close.
But just just putting all of that in in perspective there.
Or try to and probably be OK with climbing on top of Franklin
and negating that, which would just be hitting that guy.
So you'd be, you'd be like either between Franklin's legs
or right beside him or on top of him, you know, like you're in
the same space. Hey Franklin, can you get me a
piggyback ride? Yeah, just car crawl right
inside by a chest cavity. There's nothing there.
OK, I'll crawl into the empty abyss and.
You tizzle here inside space. On that note, OK, so.
That was unintentional. I, I think that was completely
intentional. All right.
So I'm good now I'm not. Yep, They need.
Yep. So it's every creature in line
makes a Dexterity saving throw. Yeah.
Which is only the one in front of you that is inside the five
foot range at that point. Point blank.
Yeah. Basically, what do they need to
beat? Because they got a 10, got a 10.
So am I rolling? What am I supposed to look at?
The DC is. It's called or of your spell.
Plus proficiency plus spell mod. Where do I see the?
It would be. So I'm looking at my book.
It doesn't. And D&D Beyond.
Beyond your character sheet. Spells.
You got a spell section. Oh, on me.
OK, sorry. I was looking at me.
Yeah. OK, So what am I looking for?
It should be your spell save DC, which should be on the spells
tab. Should be the one on the far
right. Oh, 13 did not make it so they
take full damage if you want to roll that damage.
OK, so it's 8D6. Nice.
OK, what level were you casting that ad?
Daniel? That's only a third level.
Ice. OK, so I got 4 + 4 eight
10/14/16. Sorry, my cat is fighting the
mirror. Ollie, stop.
Can you do that? Sorry.
Do that too. OK.
Jen. 'S also.
Named Ollie. OK, I got.
How do you want to kill this guy?
Ollie, stop. Stop it.
We're trying to play D&D. OK, I got 21.
How do you want to kill this guy?
OK, so I'm standing on top of Franklin right now.
I'm reaching out my arms to shoot this lightning bolt out
and he's just going to get obliterated.
Like seared. Just a pile of like dust just
falls below him. After this lightning bolt,
there's nothing left. You're.
So proud, you're so proud. You see the bones in his sword
clatter to the ground with a bit of a like almost a sigh after
after his after it does that, it's like a alright and.
That's one Israel. Israel gives a quick look to
Regina with it like a like a you know he's got the full wolf
thing on but like he gives you the wink of a smile in his eye.
Like give a very cringey like full eye closed, twitching wink
back and a smile. Thumbs up, thumbs up.
Are you proud? Oh, he's so proud.
He is so proud. Yay, I've never had someone be
proud of me before. We will have snacks after.
Oh, OK, I'm eye in those bones. Maybe there's something on
there. I'm gonna can I reach a bone
from where I'm at? Not your not unless you have
another action or actually it's it's fallen to the ground,
right, Technically. So pick up something.
It is is have we determined that that's a free action, right.
I forget. I think the same part if you
have the. Interact with the item.
It's normally a free action. Yeah, OK.
OK, yeah, you can pick up a bone.
OK, but I pick up some bones, save them for dad for later.
He's a dog. OK.
Yeah, Franklin. Like looking at my stuff and it
all does damage to like everything, not like select
targets. How beefy is Regina right now?
Beefy. Do you look frail?
I'm, I'm pretty frail, yeah. OK, you are fairly frail.
I'm I'm a wispy child. She's not taking any damage
currently if that's what you're asking too.
Yeah, but I mean, I don't. Want to like more than half KO
someone? OK.
Then what I'm going to. Do is cast a thunderstep taking
Regina with me. And I will throw it up on the
thing. That's Constitution safe for
real quickly. Or Ash and Ezra.
Hold on. No.
That was the damage. Oh, it just.
Effects every right? It is.
I'm trying to see if I could display there it is.
Within a 10 foot. So teleport myself and I can can
choose someone else to bring with me.
The Thunder boom sounds and everyone within 10 feet makes a
con save or takes 5D10 Thunder damage, but it is upcast because
I'm warlock or half as much on a on a successful Thunder can be
heard up for 300. Feet away I could bring someone
with me and we teleport directly on top of this guy.
What's my DC? Sorry but it is 18 and it'll be
for everyone within 10 feet so. That's not including.
Me, I'll take. I'll not including you.
I'm taking you with me. OK, I wrap you up and I say I
won't hurt you. You're my friend.
Yeah. Let's see.
So wait, the thunderstep is from where you start or where you
end? From where I.
Start OK with I guess. Yeah, I don't know how the +4
works as I'm like teleporting out.
Yeah, it'll get me when you first do it, but still 16.
But I'll take half whatever you do, so just don't give it to me.
Give it to you. OK, so I had already rolled and
it was 28 total, so 14. And then I think it would also
probably hit Ash, I think. I don't know where he went.
I am under a robot, so yeah, Yep.
Yeah. And then all the stuff's there,
robots and all these guys. Lightning damage though, right?
Thunder. Thunder damage.
Thunder, Thunder. Welcome to the Thunderdome.
And how much? Do 1828 and it's a eighteen
save. You get a + 4 to your save,
though not huge hush. I know.
Thank you only. One of the of the creatures that
were in that range made it so. He's taking half of that.
What's the total damage again, 28?
Woof woof. Yeah.
I heard that three times because you're 20 feet away from me.
Yeah, I know. I think I also did it 20 twice
though, because I was that astonished by 28.
There we go. That knocks down one of the back
lines that just teleported behind you and the robot that
was next to at on Ash because that was the one that was
damaged, but the one that was where you were at somehow
managed to save. Let's go with that.
It teleported with you because it was a biting in your
vicinity. Where did you go again?
I'm trying to land directly on top of this floating bitch.
Oh, all the way over here. What was that?
You could.
You should be able to reset.
Yeah, I have a range of 90 feet. I'm just trying to, I'm trying
to to shock him. He seems like he wants to be in
the back line. So I'm going to bring me and a
friend and land right on his face.
Oh yeah. And I land, and I say hi.
My name's Franklin. Wait, could you have brought me
with you if you if you touched? Me, yeah, but I didn't want to
hurt Regina. No, no, that would be inside
you. She's inside you, right?
All right, well, that's a Josh question.
I'm allowed to bring someone with me, but does it count
because she's inside my rib cage?
I, I would, I would say so. The creature was more so just
just because of the fact that it was there already and I was
trying to find out a reason why it would have saved from the the
the the Thunder damage. If you're OK with that then I'll
bring Ezra with me. He was my original to go to but
I did not want to hurt my other child friend.
No, I, I I'll leave the creature back there, but it will say
because it was at the center of the Thunder clap that it was
only like the the smallest amount.
It was like the the thwap before it went.
What was the damage again? Sorry, I just did it to
everybody else. So 'cause I needed to do half of
it which? Make sure to check for construct
vulnerabilities. Yep, construct double damage to
Thunder. It has.
It has a lot of immunities. No, no vulnerabilities.
I apologize, bastards. But that that that was not
increased. Robots.
OK, good move. That was my action, so let me
see if I had a bonus action I could.
Throw out this thing. Ezra, you're on deck, by the
way. Oh, with Ash to follow.
My poor little pup is over there with the big squiggly thing.
These things are dying. They're dying, OK.
I do not have a bonus action but this thing takes 4 poison damage
as I enter its range or it no wait hold on when it starts its
turn OK So when it turn goes it'll take 4 OK I don't know
what happens when I teleport on top of it like on its head.
Oh. Yeah, yeah, I can go anywhere
within 90 feet, so I choose to land on its head.
It continues to float with you on top of its head.
I'd like a hat. As I'm going to need you and
Regina to roll a oh shoot, I have to look it up.
It's not attached to this creature.
It has something to do with other things.
Go ahead. And if you're acrobatics for
writing, Oh yeah, you could do that technically.
Do what? Acrobatics, I guess.
OK. Oh man, that's not going to be
Don't you hurt my pup? Don't you hurt my pup. 15. 50
Also you guys see that the damage that I took in the last
round goes away 'cause I heal. Bugs start.
The bug starts spitting into the bone structure and it's it.
It starts to conform and become part of it again.
OK, so you got besides so Franklin you stood on top of it
and a tentacle moved though that you're standing on top of.
So you you stumbled off of it holding Regina is to what I
understood you were doing like inside of you.
So Regina, you still held on to Franklin and took our our our
fine. But Franklin, you twisted your
ankle pretty darn bad after you fell off of it and took 4.
Oh no, I snapped my like bones back together.
It'll healed extra out, don't worry.
And. Ezra interpreting if that thing
just hurt four, he hurt my pup and friend, he's dead.
You duration. Don't speak any language that
creatures unaffected. OK trying to OK when you guys
are standing on top of this creature, you start to feel a
presence in your mind for 1/2 split second.
You What is going through your minds at this particular
instance? Is that a question?
Yes, for Franklin and Regina having been on top of.
The preacher, in terms of strategy, he, his, in his head,
he's. He has achieved his strategy
which is to get on this thing and now he's going to hurt it
badly. Other than that, he's just has a
lot of lot, lot of pent up aggression.
Just. Fucking hard of this shit.
Kind of OK, Regina. Regina has no idea what the
Hell's going on and why her friend has just magically
stopped this thing. So I'm just sitting there
fidgeting with the the dead guy's bones in my pocket,
wondering what the Hell's going on.
The bones are what's most on your mind currently.
Yeah, correct. You both should roll me Wisdom
saving throws. 4. 5. 25. Franklin, you feel you're
actually you. You still have the Ring of Mind
shielding or no? I do not.
No, it is gone now. You voted.
Away into the wood. That's what I thought you had.
You would have still had to roll for this.
Then you felt a probing towards your mind.
After those first initial thoughts were you can sense that
that feeling, Regina, you start to feel a link of sorts to
something and then hello. Hi.
How are you?
Oh, I'm great just watching the show.
Seems like you guys are making your way through the incompetent
crew that I have here. Just watching the show again.
Who are you? I shouldn't damn it.
Where are you? Oh, much deeper inside of the
ship. You you have much, much more
fighting to go. If your plans are still to kill
everyone on board, that is. Well, that's what we do best is
killing. I mean, best of luck to.
You. Is she speaking out loud?
Do we notice this? You guys would probably see her
speaking out loud, yes. I don't know.
That's up to you, Regina. I mean, this is happening the
the the voices in your head. Regina's saying this all out
loud. OK.
I would call out to Regina been like who are you talking to
while I'm like dealing with this robot currently on fire on top
of. Me.
Haishen's being mean again. Oh, that just gets Ezra's blood
boiling. Yeah, he's hiding from us
somewhere. We need to kill all his men to
get there. He wanted us to get to him.
He wants us. To join up with him after
killing his friends and free him and then he becomes a spaceship
but I don't. Trust him.
Yeah, this thing sucks. Can I am I like freely able to
just channel Kaishen and talk to him whenever I want or do I have
to wait till he reaches out to me?
I'm confused, sorry. Say that again.
So the voice for my oh you're good, The voice in my head, am I
able to just freely channel it or do I have to wait until it
initiates with me? No, you currently have a link
with it. It feels like in your head there
is a presence. OK, Ezra has this sensation as
well but has more or less been thinking of it as a snack so has
not moved past that with his interaction.
It is snack. It is snack.
Ultimate snack. Well, we got to get to that
ultimate snack, all right, So I'm able to freely talk to it
then. And I say, well, well, my
friends don't trust you. Well, that's understandable.
I mean, I don't know if I would trust me either, but I'm at
limited options here and you guys seem pretty competent, so I
would much rather have you with the helm.
So are we are you trying to get us to rescue you?
What's your motive? I mean, that would be great.
Or you could, you know, kill me. That'd be fine too.
I guess. Then I would just be on my way
throughout the Astral C in another form.
Wait. So do you want to die?
I mean, I wouldn't want prefer to die, but you know, I accept
it as an option. Well, it might might just be the
option that you'll receive. We'll I'll see.
I got to check with my group. OK.
Well, again, best of luck to you.
OK. Hey, guy.
Hey guys, I think I said wants us to come save him, but we can
kill him too. We don't have to do that.
He also heal if you cut parts of him off so the old man stays.
From the sound of him as we're fighting with your with the
other guys front, I'm going to eat him.
We can keep him in a lead box so he can't talk to anyone and it
just cut steaks off of them sometimes.
That was my plan. Just keep him alive for
unlimited steaks. Yeah, it's like from the.
Trikers Guide to the Galaxy, where there's that that cow that
like is serving dinner and it cuts a piece of itself off to
feed the guy and it's like, no worry, I'll be fine.
It's weird I don't have a Nosebleed right now.
Yeah, you don't. You do not receive the
Nosebleed, Ezra. If you as Rick are remembering
this or yourself, Emily guys are both just going what the hell is
he talking about as Ezra and Agonon?
Yeah, I was about to be. Guys.
What? Who is Guy Shiny?
Look back up. Excuse me?
He really big snack. Don't worry, we eat it.
Is it crispy? Also.
I can make you. Crisp something.
Acceptable. Very, but no really important
who who you are actually talking to these individuals like
everybody of the party, even though they're not there right
in front of you because you're hearing their voices coming
through a new necklace that you currently have on your person, a
torque that sits on your neck as a bound gold looking torque.
He looks down, suddenly noticing this.
This new piece of jewelry. Oh, it's kind of nice, a little
shiny. Does it come off?
You're able to take it off, but as you take it off, the voices
still come from it. The cut out companions that you
just met. No, the voices still come come
from it that are the voices of your companions that you just
met, even as you take it off. So yes, you're able to take it
off. He kind of holds it in front of
his face, inspects it, gives it a couple light taps on a pipe
next to him, leans into this ear and listens to the ring, waits
till someone talks, hears the voice again.
And how close does the the neck need to be or the necklace need
to be to hear it? It it it seems like because
you're still touching it, almost as if they were right next to
you for. Like, OK, and it's only the
voices of the people immediately around me, not the entire party.
No, it's the entire party. All of those voices were coming
through as you guys were discussing this.
But even as you're holding it out from your person, the voices
are still coming through currently.
Well, that's nifty you all. You all got one of these.
Franklin. Like, notices you doing these
experiments, is raises his eyebrow and he's like, good
instincts. Yeah, we all have one.
Mine's in a lead box. Right now.
Oh, you don't like the voices? You like your solitude?
I can respect that. Do they ever?
Is it out of character? Is it just like the people
physically in this chat right now or is it everyone that is a
part of the party but is not here right now?
It is everyone who has a necklace and another thing.
OK, so there's voices coming through this necklace that I
haven't heard before in person. Not currently, yeah.
You would only hear them when they are talking and they're all
taking a nap. OK.
In the void of infinite nothing. OK.
So I don't know that. Yeah, OK.
What does it look like? Is it the divinity?
Is it the same as the? It's like 1/2 Crescent and then
so it's got a space that you can kind of separate it and open to
take off yourself. And then it's got two large
balls on either end, and it's a twisted braided metal look to it
all the way around. OK, so like if you took a
rectangular piece of metal and twisted it?
Yeah, or you said it's braided. And it's Crescent shaped.
OK, and it's what color? Sorry I missed.
Is it like a cast iron? Gold.
OK, yeah.
I mean, I'll I'll take a piece of gold jewelry and I I put it
back on, but I don't know. I don't know how late you guys
stay up, but we we might have an issue.
I'm feeling really dumb chatty. I'm.
I'm feeling really dumb right now.
I just. I just noticed something.
Attacks per action 2. Yeah, you get 2 attacks per
action. Yeah, you get it.
Back twice. No, no, no, action two.
Extra Attack counts as a third I've been missing at all.
Extra Attack is the attack action twice.
Is it that double check? I would feel very bad if I if I
was missing nothing or something but.
There's very few abilities to give you like 3 unless you're
going to echo night, but if it's an extra extra attack it's every
time you take the attack action, which is your action, you will
take two attacks. OK, yeah, no, I'm see DND beyond
has it is it says attack per action.
I'm like. Yeah, attack per action.
You get one action. Yeah, in a round and you get 2
attacks per. Yeah, I was like, wait a minute,
I'm not crazy, right? No, no.
I've, I've had that happen a couple times too and
understanding it, but we would be at the top of the round if we
want to end it here. That's right.
That was totally be wise. It's the end of the round.
Do we want to take like a second?
Like, since we're using these torques to like, pause time to
answer a couple questions if Emily has them.
Oh yeah, definitely. Assuming she's interested in
asking questions. Yes, no, and I know this whole
thing is called meta gaming, but it helps me keep track of what
if I don't know the information until my character knows it.
At least right now it helps me keep track of it.
Oh yeah, definitely. But for not like plot related
content. Wait, let me grab a pen.
Where did I put my pen? Oh no, just a second.
There it is. OK, so I I need to write down
character names versus real names.
That'll help me greatly. Those should be in chat, but
you've gotten these ones so far which are the.
I can go through them again if you need.
OK, yeah, we don't have to take everyone's time doing that.
OK. Oh, Another thing I need to ask
is can you hear my husband in the background?
I don't know how much this mic is picking up.
Very faintly. Not enough to hear, not enough
to make out what he's saying. Just like.
OK. Yeah.
OK, I've been trying to mute my mic when I remember to, but
that's good. OK, so let's see 222.
OK, so Regina is what name is your real life name?
Jillian. You're Jillian OK.
Yes, I am. I gave you the pup.
And Ezra, is KIRO your real name?
No, KIRO is the good guy character.
OK. I'm Rick.
Rick OK. And then Franklin is was.
Which one are you real name? Matt I am I am Matt I.
Am the guy you met in Denver? When did Josh came to visit?
Oh, yes, yes, OK. I'm so sorry I didn't recognize
your voice, but now you're. Totally fine.
Yeah, alright, alright. And then ash slash cat you.
Are. Yes, OK.
Also known purveyor of snacks. Always willing to provide
snacks. I keep the party motivated
because I am out to win it. And she's a sugar Mama.
Oh yeah, yeah. Sugar Mama, Purveyor of snacks,
Purveyor of pets. She's a moral, moral compass
and. Comfort giver to Franklin when
he tries to kill too many people.
Yeah, I'm so restricting on how many people you can.
Kill. Were you in the game when we
blew up the city where you were in that game?
Right. I I was, I helped.
I was like, yeah, let's play in a bomb.
No. Allegedly, yeah.
So we did some bad stuff. Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Is that the entire level of hell that I heard you obliterated?
Yeah. Yeah.
We got there, and it was the first time Josh had ever
introduced like a population center in this game.
The evil game quote, of course. You must kill them all well.
Yeah. They're.
All worth at least 10 XP each. And we were.
We weren't planning on staying. We needed to level up.
Yeah, we need to Denver get buff.
So the whole town had to go. Oh.
Yeah, that was so bad. While we're on that topic.
So I don't want, I really don't want to get my character killed.
So he's just been hiding. Yeah, is it?
That's how it wants for. New people to just protect
themselves for a while. Yeah.
Absolutely. Also like like I will donate my
XP from today to you so that if you plan on continuing to play,
I will donate my XP to you. Yeah, I I don't do things
casually, so I'm in it for the long haul.
Nice, yeah I was going to even hold off though for XP for the
session just until this slight encounter is finished off and
usually to the level up so you're aware do require the the
long rest which Ash is very much craving currently.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
But I'm just noting it down. Yep, sweet.
Answer's. Fine, then I.
Guess do you know much about like the two different games?
Are you planning on playing both or just one?
Yep, I know a little bit about each one.
Just general concept stuff. Yeah, and then the meta shit is
probably going to start getting worse now.
OK. Specifically, was there a
turning point? Yes, last weekend.
This weekend. Oh yeah, yeah.
I I committed murder suicide with myself so.
Transplant himself. For your, for your.
Knowledge, how it works is so every about six months and Josh,
you can do this if you want to. The fillings.
Oh yeah, sure. So I, I think I've told you
about the six every like six months, there's an in per
session, in person session. There's one in the spring and
one in the fall. And the during the in person
session, it's technically 1/3 campaign in my mind, because
whenever we get together, what ends up happening is a whole
fuck ton of chaos. And on top of the fact that on
on top of the fact that I've done this to myself with these
210 campaigns of evil and good. So it was like, well, what fits
with evil and good is a, is a, is a nice balance.
So they that that campaign is all of them together.
So all of your characters come together, basically realize that
they are one and the same person and get exchanges of memories
and all kinds of other other very.
Yeah. So I I wrote my characters based
around that concept. Yeah, so the only other thing is
you also become a character. Yep, yes.
Yeah. Something happened.
I did something last this past weekend that probably will start
tipping that balance 'cause I played a bunch of mechanic
bullshit and and transporting my character into the game or
attempting to what do? You mean?
So in it we have established that during the Eurythmic
veracity you can exchange objects with your characters,
you can exchange items and those items can be taken back with
them to their respective games. So there are.
Several cell phones here, now probably dead.
Which, yeah, don't really work on on Taurus.
Right. They're just, they're just
electronic boxes. But in addition, so several cell
phones, I've brought some like US manuals for like warfare over
as well as like a history of corporations for one of my
characters. But what I've determined is and
then for everyone else, because it's not going to be a surprise
soon. If you have a ring of mind
shielding, which is an item that I purchased in this campaign
that was hiding my like evilness.
When you die, your soul is transported into that object.
And then per DND like, you know, like rules as written, a corpse
is also an object. So in the last this weekend
during the rhythmic out of the right point, I had my own
character, me, Matt, and I camp murdered with the ring on by
myself to separate my body from my soul.
Put the soul into the ring. Both of them given to my other
character in the good campaign who plans on taking me out in
the next game and trying to revive myself.
OK, so you transported your actual real self into the game.
My actual real self, yeah, with D&D books that I was carrying
and like a bunch of like, meta shit.
OK. I think you talked about this a
little bit in Denver when we were there, right?
Yeah, I this has been a this this has been an an action plan
for a little while because I've had to collect like the right
things in the game. OK, it's coming together now.
Yeah, so the next game should probably be pretty interesting
in that effect, though I don't know if I'll be actually
entering the game or trying something else.
OK, so right now Franklin has a ring with Matt Soul in it.
Rahl does in the other campaign. He no longer has that soul.
I don't trust him with it. He hates me.
I gave him a really, really, really, really, really bad back
story and he. So Franklin hates Matt?
Yeah, very much so. And in the game this weekend, he
he ripped the eyes out of me. And then those are the eyes that
I just put, yeah, that I just put in.
And what? Both of them.
No, you gave. Me one.
So he left my character. He gave you one of them and then
I have one of them. I don't care which one.
I'll say left 'cause my right arm is a skeletal arm.
But yeah. So OK, we'll see what happens.
Very neat. Hopefully also gonna be here
next week. I gotta finish.
I gotta make that character. I have her written out, like her
back story and who she is. I just need to actually make the
sheep. Sweet.
Yeah. Does everyone in their character
sheets have like a little description of their character?
Something special or more or less.
OK. Yeah, I think Ash does.
I can put one in there, wrote. One out for cat.
I would just Google Franklin the Turtle.
Scott on a little bit like it's a little bit dark.
A little bit more evil now. Little bit.
Was Franklin the turtle always undead?
No, that happened. So one of the items, the item I
got from the table cough cough hint hint was a very strong item
that after I read it a certain amount of hours or played enough
sessions activated and then. All right, don't tell me just
because I have got a character that's going to go on that table
and I don't want, I don't want nothing that.
Nothing was said. What was done with the giant
coin before we all hop? Off.
Oh yeah, I was about to ask. I knew that you grabbed onto it
and it sunk into the ground. I completely I, I don't know why
I didn't say anything further to it, but yeah, that was outside
of the door and it's still a giant coin.
Could we have? Brought it into the pocket
rocket retrospectively. And for your information, the
pocket Rocket is a subdimensional house that we
have that is in the shape of a rock dildo.
Yep. That Franklin carries around.
How large is the actual rocket? It's like a black Dick.
OK, black like. A black dildo.
Like thick, but like not too thick.
How do we? Enter physically, but it
physically looks like just a a rock.
What? Just a suggestion we're.
Slowly chiseling it into the shape of the penis.
Oh, it still looks like a OK, it's it's in progress.
Yeah. Who?
Who is the scale model? I got to go to bed.
Do we have a scale model? Yeah.
No worries. Good night.
I'm. Going to good night.
Nigel, nice to see you again. Not.
Good talking to you were. You.
How does one enter the pocket racket?
You would have to talk to Frank Franklin for that, which I guess
Franklin would do so for you. Very.
I would have done the whole shebang.
OK, I don't want to know too much just because I want to like
genuinely ask questions as agonomic.
But. OK, so the coin.
Lead off with that, I'm going to, I'm going to make a note
that we're going to go back in time and go through that real
quickly before we start that session.
Taking notes of where we left off.
There's a whole. Like there's a whole.
Ritual Franklin has when people teleport in which is give them a
welcome package, give them their like key, give them their like
emergency HP, like death save and then take a bit of their
blood or hair. I believe you took part of my
hair. It's.
Ominous, yeah. Well.
No, it's for a good reason. In case anyone like gets blown
up I can revive them. Oh, OK, that's what you tell
them. That's what I tell them.
Lovely. Ezra, Ezra, just Franklin.
Like emphatically like he doesn't.
He's Franklin said hey, let's blow up this whole town.
It was like, OK. Yeah, and then they did promise
Cap. Now you just gotta finish your
promise about getting him that brain.
Yeah, and I promised you before Eurythmics that I would bring
you a treat, and I did. You did if you would have.
Been there a turtle of honor. Wonderful session and murder.
Yeah, thank you so much for welcoming me.
Yeah. Thank you for joining you.
Yeah. All right.
