Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warnings. Sometimes we are not.
Safe for work? And others not safe for real
life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the campaign.
Many polos walking Craig. OK, I'll.
Lift this earth. The hand, The tree.
Tosses. The dice rolls, spins, turns.
A campaign starts and ends, leaving memories that become
stories. Stories flow out into the
Infinite Sea, painting it with legends.
Legends wash up on the shores throughout the Infinite Sea,
fading to myth until myths are forgotten and the campaign that
gave it birth comes again and again.
The Hand of Fate tosses the dice rolls, spins, turns.
Here the two we left our adventurers known as the Shadow
Seekers on the fourth level of Hell Greed, where they had
managed to sneak into Kai Shen's prison by using first Franklin's
Dire Cricket scouts to follow the lead lined hallways and look
through their senses before relying on Kai Shen's
recommended recommendation to ask for parlay with the 100 to
300 crew on his ground bound ship.
Yeah, and while Franklin sat in his trance looking through the
crickets, Agonon appeared before Ash, Ezra and Regina.
Greetings ensued and Ezra catches the giant coin that
falls from the ceiling upon with Agonon's appearance into the.
The. New companion group Franklin
suddenly wakes up with a with an abrupt severing of his
connection to his swarm, where Kaixin's prison guards, who had
been counting coins, squashed the swarm that he sent in for
scouting. The Shadow Seekers all attempt
to sneak in after the swarm and are set upon by the alerted
guards and a battle rages on. Ash and Regina pop out of
existence and Mimi and fouls pop into existence and then Ash pops
back into existence and now it seems like Mama is popping back
into existence. It.
Continues. But you were on one of these
later somewhere. Maybe I got to do this.
Just reminds me. OK.
Yeah, you're there. I see you now.
You blend into the background as always, being that Gray.
You can't see me even. Though I'm.
Giant. There we go, now you should be
able to select yourself and move around and everything.
Anyways, Ezra is nearly downed by several of the guards during
the yellow skin guards during the fight with their emotional
damaging swords while Franklin rides and captures one of the
two floating Milky eyed tentacle creatures in the pocket rocket
and kills the other Agonon as a duck, suddenly turning into a
duck in the middle of combat attacks successfully
surprisingly successfully with a bow against the mechanized
defenders that had been mobilized after Ezra had torn
apart a lot of the and created a nice mound of yellow skinned
enemies that he was holding back along with a little bit of me
Mama's help intermittently and Faust's spell slinging after as
well as Faust turns to Agonon and helpfully.
What was the spell that you cast to turn him back to turn Agonon
back into his four? The spell magic.
The spell magic nice at 9th. For it's a counter at 9th level
spell, I had to roll pretty high.
Yeah, that was good. And then there was the
announcement over a shoddy speaker system alerting everyone
that they were, if they didn't stop to parlay with a speaker
that was inside the central room, they were going to flood
the chambers and with electrified water in 5 minutes
or less. At this point, I think you guys
are down to about 2-3 minutes, something around that range
because you're still been fighting two against a few a few
of the mechanized guards that were left as well that we left
off exactly at the point I believe where it was Franklin's
turn and or finishing up your turn and you were going to take
one of the torches and throw it at the TNT is what you said is
when I. Yeah, I did do that.
So I re listened to just that part and I guess we never did do
that because because we were all tired and it was like late, but
I guess we never did do the throw either.
So you, you would, you're going to need to yeah, if you if, if,
if you have a. Make a throw action.
Yeah. What would that be?
Strength. No, I thought dexterity based is
usually like the throwing stuff. You see there I throw hard.
OK, it doesn't really matter which one do you want.
Dexterity. Yeah, yeah, come on.
Big money 15 Big booms. It lands on the wooded exterior
of the TNT successfully and it starts to catch.
I don't think there's a boom yet.
OK. But.
What can I say that was look at my watch, look at it, look at my
watch, OK? But I think that would put us
back at the top of the order because that's where we were
ending off to with you being at the end.
There for mommy is now where we're at after you pop back into
existence with Ezra on deck and Ash to follow and then Agno.
Am I in the right map? Should be.
I'm in a hallway. Yep.
OK, Yeah. You kind of.
The last time I played, I remember we were fighting things
in this hallway. We have not moved.
You kind of get booped a little bit because you were like right
around dish here, I want to say last year playing.
But there's now mount a mound of bodies there along with the
remnants of you're probably coming back into existence with
a Terrell end of a horde of crickets going into the vents
and Franklin waving at you. And if you look back over your
shoulder, you see Ezra licking some of his wounds and Ash
standing next to him was was patting him and healing, if I
remember correctly. And Agonon, you were conversing
with the no longer duck or Faust wasn't conversing with the no
longer duck. Agonon there there.
Isn't any we're in. Front of you.
On that. Yep, you you're probably saying
where's the enemy Franklin then? If, if anything right now.
Franklin's the enemy. No, you're I was saying you're
probably asking. Franklin people's heads.
You're probably asking Franklin. Where's the I'll?
Start to believe you. Because you you're seeing a
bunch of dead cults here. Yeah, I'm just going to look
around and be like, there's like, I'm just going to hold my
axe up, but I'm going to look at Franklin.
I'm going to look just kind of like like shrug and look kind of
sad. There's no place for there's
like no, no place for my axe to land.
Like what do I? What do I do?
Can I respond? Yeah, talk.
Talk is a free action. OK, is the door to the outside
still open? How, what?
What door? The door, the door to the
exterior behind you, is it still open?
The one out over here, The. Door is open.
It's here at the hallway. Are you near the hallway?
And it's your turn. Here you go.
Look. I mean, I'm near the hallway but
I don't see a door. Oh, like so like to your left,
right down this way to the end of the hall where we came in.
We need to escape. We're going to get killed in
here. They set off an alarm system.
They're going to flood the place and electrofute us.
I don't have a good escape option yet.
Well, I have a few but. I mean.
If we could just leave, that would be best the.
Door definitely looks closed. OK, maybe Faust could open it.
We need to get out of here. Yeah, we need to get out of
here. OK, well there's nothing for me
to fight, so I'm going to move a little bit more towards the
doors and so it seems where we're going and that's going to
be my turn. All righty then, it would be
Ezra's. With Ash on deck.
I've seen other people hear that.
Yes, yeah, you should all got you guys should have all heard
that conversation. You're all right, right within
earshot, easily enough. If we stay here.
Ezra is just going to wait for this.
Basically, there's nothing for me to kill.
He's just going to wait for Ash to go Sikkim and just stay right
next to her. Take the corpses.
Oh yeah, can we just shove these in the pocket rocket and keep
them for later? Yeah, I can ask them.
I could get information from these guys later, but we need a
tactical retreat. How many you want?
As many as you could take. OK, just use.
Them all what? Kind of check, do you need me
to? Lift well tonight.
So I think it would be more based upon your movement and
I've not looked into something like this before, but your.
Strength or your carry weight? Had a Oh my carry weight that
that's easy to figure out. It's 15 times my strength score,
which 15 * 21 really. Well, times 21, never mind.
Yeah. It's like 350 I can carry, I can
carry 300, I can carry 315 lbs. How many men?
How many bodies can I carry? How?
Many men is that. What's 4?
Metal non. It could be female, 2 or non
binary. How many individuals?
How many corpses is that? That's.
Right, Ezra said. Bodies.
What's your? What's your OK?
What's your Constitution modifier?
+5. +5 OK, so I was just looking up.
OK, it should be like 15 when I'm looking at it like that.
There's lots of extra math there.
I was trying to figure out if it should give you an exhaustion
from moving as much as you can. There, you said 300 you'd be.
So you have. Some of the guys probably 2 of
the the yellow skins gifts, but you the the the robots that are
that are torn apart on the floor aren't exactly easy to lift up.
We we can't use the robots. So, so how the how, how the
mechanics work is it's, it's, it's 15 times your strength
score that's moving it without exhausting yourself.
And then you can go more than that.
Then you cut your speed in half. After that you're you're stuck.
I meant like to. I was trying to decide or figure
out how or if you would get an exhaustion counter from it is
what I'm you. Just spent the entire like 6
seconds just picking up three bodies as quickly as you can and
shoving them into a extra dimensional space that is not
normal. Ezra, it's not normal.
I know what I'm saying is like this is not like this is not
within the scope of the rules. Yeah.
If you can imagine it, it's probably within the scope of the
rules. We'll shout up to the screen
like we're leaving the. Constitution.
Give me a Constitution check, I guess.
And yeah. Or just their heads.
That's really all I really need. The rest would be more helpful,
but you know, not necessary. They know.
They. Didn't tell them these things,
he will just bring the heads. Did you hear that Rick there or?
Yeah, 2424. Gosh, you're going to probably
be able to, I mean, because you got your movement speed.
So that's where I was. I was leaning on 1st there
because I think you should be able to, you know, go in, set a
body, come back out, pick up another body and move through
all of the bodies with your movement speed of five.
10/15/2020 5:30 You might not be able to get like these bodies
over here that Franklin are standing on is standing on just
from movement speed alone. But on top of that, picking up
and setting down, we're talking somewhere in the range of like
each one of them is probably somewhere like 200 ish pounds,
we'll say. Just an easy math, you know,
times and there's like 123-456-7899 of them.
So you're talking about £1800 total, not that you're trying to
lift all of them up at the same time, but just the, the, the
process of lifting up and setting down 1800 lbs, it's like
it's still going to be like a moderate workout for you.
So I wouldn't say that you would gotten the exhaustion, but
you're, you're pretty close. I would say if you're especially
after that combat, actually after that combat, you might
have picked up. Some extra.
There singularity is all. Just one point.
Which I think if I remember correctly, bless you, that just
halves your movement speed like you're saying or I can't
remember exactly now. Abilities.
It did change it more recently too, 'cause it used to be like,
yeah, the sixth level was death. Exhaustion Level 1 disability
disadvantage on ability. Yep.
Ax. Yeah, yeah, the new one is
there's 10 levels of exhaustion before death.
Yeah. I'm going to try to kill someone
with exhaustion soon. It'll be fun to cry.
I mean, we'll see, We'll see. All she has to do is just talk
to me anyway. Yeah, I I still think it's
disadvantage. I'm trying to figure out what
the new one is, but I thought that what are they calling the
new one again? 5.5. 5.5.
I think. Yeah, basically.
That was DND one. That was a different thing.
Oh no, this one's still saying that there's still 6 levels of
exhaustion, so it is on the 6th level.
You, you, you, you just die like the.
Stages of grief. Yeah.
So yeah, I'll, I'll stick with that for now until I find
something else if we need to. But I think that's that's fine.
Disadvantage on your ability tricks for now with that
exhaustion, there should be a little thing on your issue to
remind you. As you're needing nappy.
Pretty much. We'll try to get you and nappy
right away. Yeah, let's, let's escape and
we'll all take a nap. As we need nap.
I do need a bardic inspiration once we are get free to hold on
to 1 if you can. I can do that.
I would also think that would have burned your action and your
bonus action. Just my particular opinion on
it, but. Oh yeah, no, as we're done.
As we're done. He tired.
He's sleepy. OK.
And then it would be Ash's turn with Agonon on deck.
OK, so we need to get out of. The door.
Skipping back to the north. So can we just turn and book it?
Probably book it. Hopefully Faust can open the
door. Yeah, good Lord willing.
Right, Lord, Good Lord willing. I guess I'm just going to try to
make it for the door then. And I called out.
I'm like they I'll just call. I'll be like, OK, let's make our
way out of here and plan from outside of a place that's being.
Flooded. Otherwise, if everyone gets into
the pocket rocket and anything I have, or if anyone else has
dimension door, we can dimension door outside.
I still think. I just, I've gone through my
scales like three times. You think I'd remember because I
don't have like scale improvement or empowerment.
I have a misty step so if we get to a point where we have to get
through like bars or grate or something, I could get this
across, but I have to be able to see where I'm going.
Zash, right? OK, so.
Yeah, dimension door is like the best like.
So you're running towards the door 2 Ash and then it would be
Agon or? OK, yeah, the only thing I have
that might help in this current situation is long stride.
Can I ask why we're still in combat?
Because there. Are still in combat.
You do have Dimension door ash level 4.
You just do. Eaten.
Sorry, I looked at your sheet. I do.
Well, I'm skimming this too fast.
OK, I guess I'm going to be like, all right, everybody get
in the pocket rocket and I'm going to leave.
Does that sound like a plan that we like?
That would be fastest. You would have to hold your
reaction or action to use it. All right, I will hold my
action. I'll just continue to stand here
and be like, all right, everybody pile into the pocket
rocket, and then I will take a step through the door.
It's GTFO. Is am I up?
Are you waiting on me? Yeah, that's going to be it for
my turn, since I'm going to hold my action.
What is it that you're holding that?
Smelly little. Bag.
I'm holding my main action to cast dimensional.
OK. It should no longer be smelly
now, or it won't be any more. We'll see.
But it will. It will be.
Really, I we've been overloading it with the number of people in
there and the fact that I had several 1000 crickets.
So I've recently unloaded them into the vents.
OK. So if we want to continue doing
that, we need to have like a working ecosystem in there that
will recycle and filter itself. Got it.
Plant some mango. Yeah.
Exactly. I'll take a smelly colon shaped
haven over Flora Zappy so I'm with her when he jumps in.
You say that now. Just wait until you see what's
in there. Is anybody tap in Ezra's porg?
Boring. I'm gonna grab you as I leave.
Oh. So don't worry.
Wait, you guys were going, you were going, Oh, you're going
into the pocket rocket. I thought you guys were going
towards the towards the door exit as in like the tunnel
system? That was the original plan
because it seemed like our best option.
But if I'm if everyone's in the pocket rocket and I'm holding
the pocket rocket and then go through the dimension door, it's
just one of us that has to go through.
And it sounds like right now, Agonon, you're the first one to
go back in. OK, I have figured out how to do
this. I can move individual people on.
Design. So well.
This is the. I think this is the first time
I'm actually seeing the pocket racket.
I've never seen the map before. Cool.
Oh, it's chaos. It's utter chaos.
As soon as you go into it, there are bodies everywhere.
Just lined up in the. Hall We haven't been managing it
very well. There I've described.
The other please. I've described the other part of
it. One person on dishes, one person
on floors. We got we're here.
Breakdown of society here. Where there's up above you a a
slew of goblins that were all just I just.
Hear you laughing. They were all just under
underway with mining operation it seems like up there.
But this time it seems like they've settled down and it's
actually kind of quiet. There might might be some
clinking of dishes or something. It sounds like maybe they're
eating up up there, but you see a lot less crickets than the
last time you were in here too there.
There's probably only a handful now, and but yeah, you're you
made it into the pocket rocket and the giant skeletal monster
was banging against its clay cage with the cones set out
around it, warning people not to go near it.
OK this is great for visual. I always imagined or the one
other time I was in here, I had imagined it on like AI imagined
multiple levels. There is.
A cone shaped room and that he was high up on one of the
levels. No, you're low down opposite, so
you're looking up up above you in like a beehive formation.
Above you is like where the the probably where the lot of the
stink is coming from right now at least to and is the goblins
up above you all. Right.
So the the walkway is that north-south above me?
East, West. It's like mirroring.
Yeah, so it's above the slightly darker brown strip of floor.
Correct. And that floor is slightly
raised that you're standing on right now and wooden, whereas
the other stuff is all stone around you kind of hewn or
metally almost feeling. OK.
Is it like a six inch drop? What's the difference?
Or is it like a? Whole floor No.
It's like a, it's like a, a very light step, like a four inch
that you're standing on right now.
But the, the upper levels, you know, we're extending up upwards
into 30 feet it, it appears like in your perspective at least.
OK but scary cage guy is on the lowest level with.
Me no. So that is a little bit of a
confusing too, because there is an interstitial level actually
where that case scary cage is at.
It's probably up about 10:00-ish feet off the off your level and
there's like a. There's a ladder.
Ladder over there that actually goes up into another another
area that looks like it leads possibly over there because
there isn't any other way to the bars I see but that.
But that level over here, is it equal to this level?
Wait, say that again. The the the ladder is at the
same height as the bars, so they they're they're equal height
like that 10 feet. But here is the same level as
here. Oh damn.
Nope, Nope. So this is like 4 inches and
this is like 4 inches down from the floor that you're standing
on. That that darker piece is what I
was describing there too. We just walk around to try to
oh, there's a wall. Oh, there's a wall there.
Yeah, there you go. OK.
So you're just using using your kitch, using your turn to get
acquainted with the the pocket rocket, walk around a little bit
like what's going. Yeah, he's kind of, yeah, kind
of bewildering, all looking around.
Steps over the body. Yeah, the mess and the
suspiciously and possibly dangerous things around him, the
goblin seem peaceful. Yeah, upstairs they're, they're
not really making any noise or anything besides like some minor
clinking, like I'd said. OK, so they haven't really
yelled down to you or anything. They don't seem to be that
interested. What's going on?
OK so why can I see up from where I am to this higher to the
higher level right? Ah, why can't I ping the higher
level right here but I cannot see to the higher level right
here? Is this just like a a balcony
that looked out? This is an actual wall right
here. So like if you were to go up
this ladder, right, that is wait.
How did I just go? I guess I'm confused about how
you get from this level 10 feet up to this level.
This ladder right here. OK.
So this square is on the level I'm at, yes.
OK. So where the transition from
ground level to 10 feet up here, where is that transition?
You can see kind of like a line and there's bars on that side
where you just pinged On this side, you can see a bit of a
railing that actually sticks out right, right along here.
And then it transitions to wall down here and up here.
And the the darker flooring down here is at your height, whereas
the lighter flooring up here as at the higher height.
What level is this tile? That's this.
That's 4 inches below where you're standing right now
because the that's the, that's the OK, that's the rock and
that's. What level is this this tile?
Same same same as over here. This is all like a little
storage area in between all that that junk.
OK, but then this, this is 10 feet up.
Yep. Oh, I do not get a level
transition at all from here to here.
I don't see you don't. Oh wait.
Maybe if I move the the skeletons away from the bars.
Do you see the bars now? It's kind of nice to also.
OK, but the OK, those bars are obscuring A10 foot difference in
flooring. Yep.
Oh. OK, sorry.
I OK, I don't think it would be. And these are all dead bodies.
I was somewhere else. Sorry.
What we're the off to over here. This is all dead bodies.
Yep, this one seems to be alive but unconscious and just
wriggling uncontrollably on the floor.
What do I see? Is it an octopus?
It's like, it's like an eyeball in the center of a a tentacle
mass that is just writhing. And it's a Milky eyeball too.
So you you're guessing it's possibly blind.
He's going to slide the left. Yeah, he's going to.
He's going to wander away from whatever that is and start
exploring in this direction. But I'm guessing a few seconds
it takes to walk over here is taking up the turn so.
Yep. Yeah.
Then we would have no worries. Then we'd have Faust turn.
Let's ask a question for. Myself again, I guess Faust is
going on the rocket. OK.
Saddle up, big boy. Enjoy yourself.
Hopefully you paid attention to some of those descriptions,
because that was a pretty good refamiliarization.
Yeah, refamiliarization of what was going on there.
Blink now. You should be in there too,
correct? Did it?
Did it transition over on the map for you?
I'm in the rock. Cool you both poof into purple
smoke to get in in there with like these like white dots and
lines that seem to swirl around in the in the smoke or anyone
else's perspective. But is that?
Is that going to be your turn or?
I guess that's it. OK.
We're making a break for it. No worries.
Yeah, do what you do. I'm just bouncing back and forth
between maps here. I think then it would be I'm
scrolling, I'm scrolling the two, the two that are left on
this side of the wall of you guys that you are aware of.
We'll see. Just rolling this to see if that
thing explodes. Blow up bro it I'll.
Give you a thank you. Let's see you guys that went
into the pocket rocket don't hear obviously, but everyone
else would hear a on the side still a bang, a big.
Boom. More of a actually, and they
need to roll me some Dexterity saving throws.
Or not in the pocket rocket. No, these guys that are left.
I'll do something else up. I don't think that does.
Dynamite, right to bring this up also looking at some of the
things here, OK, yeah, they both succeeded, so only half as much,
but it is going to be Max for 10D. 6. 34 So that would have
been chunk of damage, which is 17
and you see Franklin, because you're still enough in the room
to have seen the explosion as well as the creatures that that
it is exploding onto. Doesn't have anything about
blowing him backwards. So I'm guessing they just
they're at where they're at and they have all right.
Hey Jess, I think you were getting some feedback on your
side there. Oh, sorry, no worries.
They come a stomp in your direction, Franklin. 30 and
probably both level there. I don't think they see anyone
else still even coming around to that point.
Oh no, though I guess the one can see Ezra, but you're still
the kind of front point target that was just tried to blow them
up and everything too. So they're going to level
they're. These are.
Guests No, these are the robot clockwork machinery things that
and level their crossbow arm at you both.
Both of them do for a 16 to hit and this one they they may both
make 2 and a 23 for the 1st 116 and a 23 and a 218 and an 8.
I think that last one misses for sure, but. 23 hits if that was
to me, but the other one misses. 16 and 18 miss.
Yeah, I have a 19 AC. Oh, I thought that was only when
you were in a shell or whatever. I have a 17 natural and then I'm
wearing a Sentinel shield so +2. OK, so third someone.
Turtle. So the other one, the other ones
that were kind of close, probably Ting Ting off the off
of your your shield. I would guess actually from that
direction because you're probably still facing them and
then the the other one probably hits in between somewhere on
like a shoulder that's sticking out of your shell or something.
The 13 damage piercing. 13 You're an asshole, I say to him.
They just click and their gears turn in response.
You're not even alive. You're not even alive with this
big believe world. You suck.
Then it would be your turn. Franklin's.
Mm hmm. Is everyone else in the poker
rocket? No.
Who else is out? You see Ezra, and that's pretty
much, well, Ash, yeah, Ezra and Ash from that direction.
So you move more that direction. And you would also see me.
Mommy can. I get in between them all,
trying to see where Mama is. She's so Gray that you're right
there. Yeah.
Who is this dog I? Was just trying to move some of
the bodies that aren't there anymore.
That's Ezra. Dog.
Oh, OK. And then this is Faust or no,
That's Ash. Maybe this is this is.
Faust went into the thing. Yeah.
Yep, Faust isn't here technically right.
Yeah, this is Ash white hair. OK, I turn to ash.
I say I want to grab Ezra go Ed dementia door should work on you
and one other person. So grab Bobby dementia door
through get to a far safe location.
Let us know that will enact stage 2 or stage 2 of Get the
fuck out of Here, OK? Make sure.
And do you think the church is a far enough place or should I go
back to where the goblin Tavern? I mean, the church is probably
far enough. Well.
Here's the. Thing oh, here's the thing, we
could do it right now because. What dimension door?
No, if everyone gets her the pocket rocket, if I looked at
the math correctly for the for the Tri decahedron, I don't have
it on me. OK, that wouldn't work anyway,
so I think the church will be fine and then we can all move
out from there 'cause there's a bunch of bugs that were also
released out into the wild, so it should be full of allies.
So yeah. OK, good.
I will. I will get us to the church
then. I put my hand on Ezra and I turn
to her or I turn back to Ash. I put my hand on her shoulder
and I say fight the good fight and then I teleport into the
pocket rocket and then shout out for everyone in there.
Everyone please remove your torques and put them in the lead
box at the entry hall. If we are no longer dealing with
you know who, we should not be giving him any more information
and then I. Ezra, look at you all kind of
how. You're necklace bud, put it in
the box. Alrighty, where's the?
Box also he he's you're not there Ezra in the.
Box come bring him with me if I put my hand on him.
Oh, I didn't. I didn't catch that description.
Sorry. I apologize.
Yeah, I am purposefully bringing him with me so that actual
economy works. Also, Ezra doesn't know how the
torque works. And he doesn't know how the
torque works, right? Come on, bud.
Can I take this necklace off? You put it in the box right
here. It's like right next to the
door. Oh, we're inside the pocket
rocket. Yeah, or we will be here
shortly. Should have you guys look at my.
Bony boy, he's getting so big as.
We're going to start sniffing the air as soon as he gets
inside the pocket rocket. OK, Ezra, you can eat any part
of these guys except for their heads.
I deed their heads. Any bodes to be tossed into the
bone pit. Doesn't matter if you eat if you
crack them for the barrel first. So that's your choice.
Slap them on the shoulder and walk away.
Ezra's going to start with the big large eyeball whirly
tentacle thing. Oh wait, no, not that thing.
Can't have that one. You can't have that.
Sorry, Labeled. No, that one's for Ash.
That's a present for Ash, which he gets here.
And he has. Well, for Bob, What?
We have a snack. There's a bunch of corpses in
the front hall. Got it.
So he can have a snack, yeah. A bunch of corpses in there, we
just need the heads. No problem.
OK. Right around Where's the pimp?
Oh yeah. I forgot he was in here.
I think he's probably hiding under this table to if I'm being
honest. As we're going to sniff him out.
Insane and I. Yeah, I forgot.
Can't stop him now. I shrugged my shoulders and
launder. 15/20/25 Yeah, you'd probably be able to find his
trail over to that table there. Yeah, as we're going to sniff
him out, he's going to. You would you would probably be
staring down one of the larger dire crickets though that is
working at that table doing some experiments per Franklin's last
requests to and just kind of looks at you with his beady
black eyes and his antennae moving like can I help you kind
of look on his face. I'm just, I'm just going to
borrow this. You keep working.
So you. To confirm, this isn't one of
the people we've promised like safety to, right?
No, no, he's a new acquisition. No, this is the previous one
that was promised safety. You guys cut off his hand.
No, you can't have that guy that said that.
You can have the dead guys that are in here or any of them that
we brought this time. But yeah, I'll chastise you on
that one. Snack.
But you can't kill a guy.
We promised him safety, bro. You know how?
You know how I keep promises and keep giving you tasty snacks?
Do you appreciate a promise kept?
So does he. I'm sorry.
There's a whole bout of corpses over there.
He goes over just like picks the like the biggest one and just
kind of starts dragging it off to a corner.
Sorry bud, you can have the head of that one if you want, it's
all yours. You hear the smallest little and
a potent odor stings the air. I assume that little guy's
around. Wait, no, because of the guy
that's under the the table when Ezra found him and everything
too, he was. Yeah, yeah.
About that. OK, so that was your turn,
Franklin. I I know as where you kind of
moved a little bit, but I we'll say we'll come back to your turn
to see what happens there. Are you connected to the rest of
your 1000 Dyer Cricket in any way besides like, how does that
work inside the pocket rocket? Are you no longer connected to
them now? So I have a connection to the
swarm that I control. All of the rest of them are were
managed by a member of my swarm and are not connected to me.
They're they're wild, dire crickets.
OK. They they do whatever they want.
And do what they want do. What I.
Want the sinking suspicion that this is not the intended use of
the Swarm Keeper. I was going to say, are they
going to see us as as friends if we show up if they're wild?
Well, they were friendly and I raised them.
I'm going to need them to make Dexterity saving throws for me.
I don't know diet. Cricket has a deck save of +2 so
I'll just do on the thing. And you had you were, you had
them in units of 100 if I remember correctly.
So there were 10 units. Yeah, it was like 10 of them. +2
on each of these groups of five.
OK, Any of them beat a 16? A bunch of them.
One second I spilled a bunch of water like a dumb person.
Oh OK I can look at it real quick then.
So looks like 1-2 so you need to get a 14.
So 123456 of the 10 units succeeded on it on it and so
they will take half of this damage that comes.
Through Couch Out. They will take half of 65.
They will take 30. 2. That'll be nice 32.
And that was a. Lightning damage.
Yeah, the water was filling the
tunnels. That's why I was getting and
they were still. Going through.
It Yeah. Drowned immediately and you gave
them would have given them instructions to try and stop up
the stuff and the that's when the lightning would have hit.
Yeah. All right.
So they have 38 HP each and it was a +2 to the saves.
Really. What?
The 38. They're just they're, they're
not easy to kill. Yeah, 38 is like not
insignificant. No, no, they're they're beefy.
They're beefy crickets. It's.
More than a level one, yeah, like.
Yeah, it was. It was one of my oh shit moves
that I pulled. Yeah, you missed it last time.
This is on the scale of my of the skeleton monster.
Like pulling that out? Pull the pull the ball like 1000
of them out and. Yeah.
Had them basically just packed to death the robots that were
lastly attacking. Yep, so was it.
What was the save exactly? Sorry.
Deck save. Deck save of what?
Like what was the save? Because it's they have a + 2.
I don't know if that accounted for was accounted for and when
you looked at them, so I just wanted to look now.
I looked back, you see that that that +2 was counted for you said
that. So I'd made sure that as long as
they had a 14, they succeeded, which was only three of the
units that didn't succeed so. Those so those 3 year old
parents. Wiped out, Yeah.
Yeah. And then the rest are severely
damaged and. You may decide what what the
lead cricket was probably having to do for the best of
disabilities. Buying us time and or trying to
get into confidential areas to like wreak havoc.
Because remember I had the this was the population that I had
sent into the into the ship and then the other population went
out of the ship earlier. So this population is entirely
devoted to just doing as much fucking damage to these people
as possible. Right.
I understand they're probably going to get to a point in the
pipe then just so that you have an understanding of what so that
you can have them make their decision, but they're going to
get to a point in the pipes that they're moving through.
There's going to be a great that's closing the area off and
there is a shutter that's open allowing the water through.
They will probably try to stop that area to give us time to
escape. And using their bodies, they
definitely dampen. The Oh no, not martyr, die, or
crooked. Yeah, yes, they're religious now
for the Queen. And I would say the lightning
hits as it's pushing the forces increasing ever so, so much and
pushing them slowly back. And when the lightning hits,
they lose purchase, especially, you know, the ones that are
dead. So the ones that aren't are
trying to hold on and then get shocked and lose their grip and
are being forced out of the pipes into the area.
And that's when who's left in there?
So Mommy and. Yeah, me.
Right. Yes, I'm still standing.
But Mommy had a reaction saved to teleport when she could.
Ash could, Yeah. Which I don't know if that
includes walking over to Mommy, but.
Could I lunch for mommy and be like we got to go and just make
the dimension to her appear in front of her in front of them?
You can bring one other person with you.
If it were your turn, your I'm currently playing out some of
the other things that are happening just before it becomes
mommy's turn. Yeah.
Oh, got it. But well, I guess my question is
Ash. Ash had a reaction saved, yes.
Like she was you holding her action.
Does that trigger or no? I forget exactly what you said
was going to be the the trigger. I don't remember.
Either I, I didn't name a specific trigger.
I accept that. When we were ready to teleport,
OK, that's when I was going to like throw open the door.
Right. And when I went past her I
explained I'm going to go in. Then you grab mommy and both of
you go Yep. So I don't know if that was the
trigger or not. Yeah, I probably would have like
called out to mommy like you ready to go?
Yeah, that sounds, that sounds right, Like it makes sense to
me. But the thing that I was going
to describe is that you guys are going to hear a creaking and a
groaning of pipes and a bit of rattling as water starts to pour
out of them onto the floor, probably creating quickly,
swiftly a large deluge of water across the entire level,
everywhere. And every vent that you can see
it along down the hallways are gushing this water.
So within seconds, it is within a six, six seconds, yeah, it is
covering an easy inch on the floor.
So you're guessing it's not going to be long before this
chamber becomes fully flooded and.
Aw, happy to see me. And you do hear a bit of the
rattling and gushing of the pipes as some of the first waves
of the dire crickets flow back out into the back into the
puddling floors. And.
They are not happy to see me. Are they still alive or are they
very direct? The ones, the ones that you're
seeing that are landing in the puddles are very dead there.
There is I I would say that there's probably some still
holding on to some of the areas like inside.
But. Let me see, what is this
there's? A5 in line. 20 OK, so the other
thing you start to hear is a sizzling sound, almost like an A
loose electric wire. OK.
And then it would be your turn,
Mommy. I'm looking at you.
I'm like, I'm like, God, Are you ready?
So wait, am I going through a portal door or am I going into
the the pocket rocket? Either 1 you can either teleport
with her or teleport into the pocket rocket, doesn't matter.
Well, yeah, I'm going to go with Ash.
I guess I'm going to walk over to where Ash is, which I'm by
Ash. So that's I'll walk closer to
Ash you. Slosh through the puddle.
No, I I mean, like, walk over and like, put my hand, Yeah, put
my hand on Ash's shoulder so nothing can go wrong.
And that's that's that's my turn.
Oh Ash, you're triggered. There's a lot less dynamic than
what I expected to happen from trigger.
I'm going to I'm going to picture the church that we did
combat in and I'm going to just throw out my hand and opening up
the portal. I'll be like, all right, let's
step through. After you.
This is dimension door, right? Yeah, dimension.
Door. Oh, yeah, I don't know.
Within 500 feet, I don't know. We're just outside.
Yeah, I'm picturing the church itself, the room outside the
church or just outside that door.
I'm also seeing that it says you teleport yourself.
And one other person. I'm not seeing one other person.
It just says you teleport. Yourself.
From current location to any other spot within range, hold.
On. Oh no, that's misty step.
Misty step. No, no, not.
Misty step no bring along objects ones are Oh no and can
also bring 1 willing creature of your size or smaller who is
carrying gear up to is carrying capacity.
Oh wait, those are smaller. I was. 3rd 3rd sentence down.
Okay, I was just getting to that right when you were reading it
so I see it now. Okay your size or smaller so
your size are smaller. I can let that slide.
I mean, I guess it depends if you're talking like height or
like medium versus large. Yeah, like do we?
Do we fall in the same category of of the creature?
Size. That's what I'm saying.
Like a. Medium.
And I think Ash is technically small.
What is she? What foot?
But what is your race? Changeling.
I'm a changeling. I instantaneously change it into
mommy. I look like an exact.
Duplicate. There we go.
That's that's nice. I like that.
And I'm like, oh, we have changeling.
Size. As a changeling you could choose
either small or medium size. There we go.
Yeah. And generally you're small, so,
but I can go with that. That would work.
I I like like where your brain's at there now.
I, I look, I look at Mime and I just transform myself into an
exact duplicate of them. And I say, all right, let's go
with my own voice coming from their mouth.
And then I hold my hand out and the door opens in front of us
and we step through and it's hopefully.
Very, very, very freaked out. But.
Yeah, we step through the door. All right, I am moving maps here
and measuring stuff now. Right, because I can always do
it so far out. To I think it would be within
distance. It's looking like so far.
Oh yeah. 3 four. Yeah, I think you're.
Oh, gotta go. One more, man.
Come on. Yeah, you said, right in front
of the doors. Yeah.
Right in front of the doors if if we can't make it to the
church, then just right in front of the doors outside of where
this. You can make.
It where we entered this place. You want to you so you're
picturing it right in front of the doors because it's going to
say, yeah, you could totally make it there.
But right in front of the doors it is paste.
And I wonder if moving this move everybody or just you guys.
I think it may have just moved you guys cool.
You guys get a visual? In the rocket still.
Seeing the rocket. Perfect, because you guys should
be in the Rocket all. Right, look at my rocket.
Yeah, we're on the steps. So nice it worked, and that's
probably the feeling feeling that you're getting.
There's a little bit of water still dribbling down from the
sides of your shoes onto the steps of the.
Church, I turn and I and I look at Mama and I'm like, oh, we
made it. I was going to call out to
everyone to come out of the pocket rocket.
I'm still going to say that. I'm going to call into the
torque. Hey, you can come out of the
pocket rocket. We are in a safer location now.
Meanwhile, I'm picking up anyone's pocket rockets or their
torques. Yeah, I was just about to say,
did everybody put their torque? Inside I'm going to get nothing
back. Yeah, OK.
I don't. Think me may or I don't think
mom may. Have.
Yet. So like is is Ash just gonna
hear themselves? Don't.
Even need to be told dropping that shit in the box.
OK, I. Probably would just hear my
voice. Back Franklin took ash.
Franklin took as a result. Yes, yeah.
So yeah, there is, there is. In the box.
The small cricket noises that you're not not used to hearing,
not the big cricket noises coming back to the torch.
Oh. I'm like, I don't think they can
hear me. I mean I.
I will volunteer. There you go.
I will volunteer to hold on to the pocket rocket.
If you want to go in and tell them we're safe.
I'm. Like, OK, that sounds like a
good idea, and I popped myself into the pocket rocket.
And you guys aren't in combat? So going to like hang out?
Yeah. Yeah, the mom is just going to
like, go sit down, you know, and lean against the wall and just
wait. Maybe like make out a sharpening
stone and sharpen sharpen one of the axes?
And look at the corpses that are still left behind from the last
time you were guys were at the. Church.
Probably dragging those corpses into the kitchen area.
To drive. To cure.
Hey Ash, I'm getting. There, still loaded.
Here we go. So as I pop in, I'm gonna be
like, hey guys, we we made it out.
We are in a safe, safer location, the area where the
church is. OK, well, as soon as.
I popped in. Oh yeah, Ezra would have been
like dropped the dropped what he was eating, like started running
around like happy to. See, oh, I am going to need a
constitutional role from eating those guys.
Actually, probably a wisdom save to be to be clear with these
guys, with these guys. OK, so wisdom.
What do you mean, Josh? They're totally delicious and a
dresser. I mean, no bad happen can come
for. Me, I need an adult.
You're supposed to be an adult. I rolled a three.
I mean the doll. You're the voice in your head
seems to multiply from the the time that you you were used to
it before, but you probably just keep ignoring it and keep
eating. This is also a true thing.
Eating those corpses keeps you voices.
Fun. If I'm eating those guys.
They make noises when you eat them.
Normally expect that if they were alive but.
Oh no, no, I see. I chomp and chomp and I eat and
I swallow and then all of a sudden I hear ah in my head.
That's pretty fucked up bro. Early a child.
Coming from Franklin, that means a lot.
Understand. I mean, what that says is their
souls are still tied to their bodies.
They are. They haven't passed on.
Where are they going to pass on to?
That's a good fucking point. And then?
Yeah, things just came back to life.
After coming back to life is shit take.
Me. Back.
OK. But yeah, as I pop it, I'm going
to say, hey, we're in a safer location when the area where the
church is. And when Ezra runs over to me,
I'm going to reach down and give him like a scratch behind the
ears. And I'm going to look around and
be like, where? Where's Enyo and Easel?
One of the crickets run up to you and that that particular
cricket is covered in vomit and is missing an antenna and one of
the hands of the the the the now toddlers making like their steps
just walking right in front of you, holding the the antenna
going look, look, look, not saying anything obviously, but
like just like. I'm going to reach down and take
them out and be like, you're such a big boy now and you're so
strong. And I kind of take the antenna
away from him and I give it back to the cricket and I'm like, I
am really sorry. Thank you so much.
And I will just pull some random thing out of my bag to give him
to play with. I guess I'm going to look for a
bag real quick. Yeah.
I'm. I was gonna say I would just
grab another random object to give to him so that he's not
gnawing on one of our companions and tests.
Oh, I give him the torque. Oh.
Your torque. Yeah, I just take it off and I'm
like, here you go numb on this. He can just use the torque and
tell as a teasing ring. And I put the and I give the
charm. I take the charm off of it.
Does that mean the babe, the baby's thoughts go to
Minneapolis and vice versa? Oh.
No. Overlaid with the sound of
someone rubbing a microphone. And, and they were crying,
crying probably for that short time that you took away the
antenna or at least one of the heads.
I don't know which one's more vindictive, you'd have to tell
me. But and then then you'd probably
hand them the torque and and they'd probably, you know, baby
wide eyed it and both hands go into grabbing for it.
And when you when they fully get it in their grass, take both
ends of it and put it in one of the the each of the two heads
now so they're sucking. Enjoy the ASMR Manny.
I can't get that sound to come through.
I've been trying. He's cutting out.
I'm sure there is some kind of nasty ammo marketing we can
find, but I'm not going to look for it.
But I mean like, should we head back out?
Yeah, All right. Let's let's take care of
initiative one while we can. And before anyone does anything,
if I read the tridecahedron thing right, can I use an
arcana? It's an intelligence or a dex
check. Can I use arcana?
Is that or is it a straight check?
Cause some of these DCS seem very impossible without like a
group or can we do it as a group check?
I would assist in the check well or.
An or an extended check. Well, that's the thing I thought
we should check. We should try to this.
We should try to do the arcana check on this object outside of
the pocket rocket. Cause what if we get teleported
and we leave like mommy behind? Yeah, 100% like I I as when we
last unlocked it, did we teleport immediately?
Do we remember 'cause I sure fucking don't.
But does the. Grid, remember?
I thought we did teleport immediately.
Don't recall if we did. That means one person needs to
make the check. It's either intelligence or
decks. Josh can still say if it's.
If I was allowed. Yeah, it was one person.
One person does the check and when they figured because we
were sitting in a bar when it happened last time if I recall
correctly. I'll come in at any time.
It is in your inventory. I just went to it to find it
though. I've got it it's let's see here.
I can one SEC where is it I stuck at using roll 20 sometimes
not roll 20 the other thing. The DB odd, Franklin says.
Sorry, just listening in. Inventory weird thingies.
'Cause we can stack guidance and a bardic inspiration right now
if we can use arcana and intelligent as the intelligence
check, then I have a + 13 because I have a high level 1 I
saw. It I thought I saw it on here
but maybe it is on rule 20 that it's.
No, it's on it. It's on DND Beyond.
I'm looking at it right now. So there are current currently
three of the 13 sides salt which makes the current day DC's for a
A30A34 Dexterity or a 31 Intelligence is what is required
to solve the next phase. Yeah.
So if if we can use Arcana like the check skill then I may be
able to do it if we layer on guidance and.
I cannot physically get anything in the 30s.
My I I can. This is grand Am that might be
part of a problem. Yeah, that might do it.
Because I can get right now, if it's just me and and Arcana
works, I can get it if I roll in 18 or 19.
If we add on a bardic inspiration and a guidance
that's plus 1D4 plus 1D something from Ash, then we're
getting closer. And if somebody else can help,
then we might be able to get advantage.
As. Rules.
That'll probably be our best bet.
The old rule take 20 and just assuming you have time to just
sit there and take and. Figure out not take 20.
That or that or that. Well, you need to Gosh, well,
you need to be able to at least. Like you were saying with the
other character, you couldn't even physically get to 31.
Yeah, I need I. Would need to roll a 23.
So you can physically get there with Voust though.
And I can't roll a 23 that's not on a 20 sided dice.
No. If I thought I thought your
thing, you. Voust would need a 23, Grand AM
would need like a 28. OK, I can do it if Arcana is
allowed. Arcana is the.
Intelligence. Is it intelligence based debt?
So I I would allow it, yeah. OK, then I have the option to do
it if I get an 18 or 19. I don't know if you're allowing
any additional things by taking our time, but if we also stack
guidance and Bardic. And also I have the magic book
that kind of talks about these things.
I could let him read it. Oh yeah.
Yeah. Take a look at that.
Also, Ezra will give you a supportive hug.
Thank you. I'll come back.
I'm sorry that. Are we allowed we?
Don't want that guy. Do not want you.
Do not want Ezra's intelligence involved.
True at all. Are and are we allowed to like
offer assistance with this check?
And again, I want to say we should do this outside the
pocket rocket. We should, but I think it also
depends on if we teleport immediately and if it's only one
person or everyone like what happened last time.
Well, we all ended up going. Together all a party goes
together for sure at all. We all go.
I don't know why. I don't know what what controls
that mechanism, but we all teleported and I feel like it
was pretty instant. It's not like like we opened it
and then we all like sat around and decided when we should go.
I remember like it, it, that's all.
And then we were somewhere else. If everyone goes together then
it doesn't matter if then then we should all just be outside
just in case like Ash does. We were on.
The. Same.
The very first, I don't remember if you were there, Mommy, but I
know Ash was for certain because as you're talking about it and
digging back through the recesses of your mind, you have
a recollection of being in an in between space with Tanaka, who
had given you a lot of pleasure before he was you were allowed
he he solved the first side for you.
That's. Right.
That's right. Chained up on a wall and.
That's when Bob was still a troll too.
Yeah, and he'd insisted that you guys all had to mambo, so he he
said it was because you had to be touching each other.
But he explained that after you guys were all mamboing.
So you mamboed your way into that level of hell.
That's. Excellent.
Love that we have a history of dancing.
Yeah. Moonwalking.
Mamboing. We have passion.
That's how you get through hell. More footwork, more passion.
You just got to keep moving. You know, if you stop and think
about the situation you're in, you'll never get back up because
it fucking sucks. But if you keep.
Dancing. If you just keep dancing, maybe
we can dance. Our way to freedom.
Let's do it. All right, so we can use the
Arcana We should all teleport out.
Now we can stack things on. If anyone can use the assist to
get advantage, that will give us an even better chance.
This may not work today. So what's the highest role that
you can get? I so me myself I get a + 13.
I can give myself 1D for guidance.
OK. If I get a bardic inspiration I
will get 1D something from Ash which she should look at because
she tell. Me one D 10. 1D10.
So you could you could theoretically do it by yourself.
But but with it, if I have assistance or if I take time to
do it, I don't know if you would sell out either of those.
Oh yeah, I'd let you have assistance and time, but the,
the, the, the time factor I'm just trying to figure out in my
head 1st and I was trying to figure out if you what the other
assistance is that you're getting.
So you you said another D10. So it's yeah, I.
Would Arctic inspiration is 1D10?
Yeah, so 1D20 plus one D 10 + 1 D 4 + 13.
With the possibility of the best role scenario game 3147 it
sounds like as the total. Highest.
With no advantage. How much to get with an
emotional support hub? And and he is turning into those
teenage years, so probably just an awkward stiffy.
No, I'm just kidding. I.
Didn't even know that was a real bone.
Shit 'cause I'm a. Skeleton now.
Oh. That's right, I forgot.
I forgot you were a skeleton. So the time element though, so
you can theoretically get there. The time element is where I'm
like. Standard rule on that.
There's a standard. Recorder the Ricker.
I want to Faust, I think said something about that.
God. I can't remember your real name.
What's your real name? What's your real boy?
Jacob. Jacob.
Yes. Your real boy name isn't.
What is the rule for taking time on a roll?
I don't actually know. Okay, that that would be the old
guy in the room. I guess.
Let's take it. So take 10.
So take 10 means you basically just baseline 10.
You start with a baseline 10 because basically you're taking
all your time for this one thing you're taking.
So. I see what you're saying.
You got a base 10. Or you take even more time and
you keep like there was another version where you could.
Yeah, called taking 20. Just assume you rolled a 20 but
you spend like hours doing it like.
It's not like hours. Yeah, yeah.
Taking 10, taking 20, depending on the amount of time required,
taking 10 was the it's only going to take you a couple
minutes, whereas taking 20 would would take you a couple hours.
Or if you were like like an expert in it back whenever that
was the thing you just like, take that to baseline.
Yep, expertise. There'll be lots of role-playing
stuff at a I'm level 1 for a little bit until we can get out,
but we should do that quickly. Yeah.
Like we don't want to be on this side if somebody closes the
door. Yeah, no, we we definitely want
to make our way out of it. I.
Think we should all question? We should all question
Franklin's eagerness to leave. We're literally in hell.
Don't you want to? Leave.
I too of eager. To leave Franklin's never, ever
been anywhere else, Maybe. That's true.
No, Release me, Ezra doesn't. Go against Yeah, Franklin's
ideas. I'm sure Franklin's totally been
to camp, and he totally needs to get back to that camp for
reason. Yeah, there's a birthday party I
need to get to, apparently. And I need to get back on my
political campaign to power. I'm into that.
OK. All right.
You guys are still in the pocket rocket, Are we?
Are you exiting the pocket rocket so we can?
Yeah, well, we can exit so we can all chat.
Yeah, I'm going to dig through one of these.
Chests. I'm going to dig through one of
these chests and find some kind of soft toy like thing to give
to Enyo and Easel and then I will like leave the torque just
behind and pop out of the pocket.
Rocket me and Enyo and Easel and I'll have them swaddled in a
baby wrap against my chest. Who is swaddled in the baby
wrap? The baby.
My baby baby. Where the baby came from, I'm
just going. To I'm rolling Ash has a 2
headed baby. And my second pup.
Where where has this 2 headed
baby been? Before now it's been being
babysat by a bunch of dire crickets in the pocket rocket,
so I see him whenever we take a long rest in the pocket rocket.
I'm sure that OK just. Baby Ashmere may not be a good
parent. We don't.
Sit here how?
Does the eel can't be alive? They are safe, alive, well fed,
being educated. Exactly As for teachers, baby
all the time be. Allowed anywhere near.
The it's going to have a wide variety of skills to.
Raise a baby and we have one. Is.
This the baby that ate that chewed off the antenna.
Yes, yeah. OK, OK, I had been picturing it.
I learned it learned its lessons really well.
It is just well yeah, in between like toddler and infant stage
and is now walking. But yeah, I'm going to swaddle
it against me. Not very well.
I rolled a mothering skill and only got 11.
Well, that's that's. Above average technically.
Yeah. So it's.
It's adequate. It is adequate.
Yeah, get. The fuck out of here.
I think I get over there. I'm trying to figure out.
So you would actually only need to roll at least a four.
Fuck yeah. If you did all the modifiers on
top of it and you got the highest roll on each one of
those things. So I was just kind of like, I
was just kind of like working some backwards math and seeing
some probabilities here. So an average roll on all of
those dice could potentially still get you what you need.
Do you want to try rolling it once all through or do you want
to just try to take 10 because the take. 10.
The take 10 would you would need a set amount of time and I
would, I would say that taking 10 in this particular case, I'm
not seeing anybody saying any specific amounts of time.
They're just saying a lot and just to keep cool and
straightforward for the for, for the understanding of it and so
that it's not misused. What they're saying too is like,
it's not something you could do under stress like this.
We could. You couldn't take 10 or 20.
Yeah, you need time. Yeah.
So 10 minutes or 20 minutes would be the I.
Mean so I guess if I did if I did the take.
Time. Yeah, of time to to sit there
and he's like in. Real life, we just got to sit
here free in silence for 20 minutes.
All right, that's 20 minutes. Good job.
I was thinking, I was thinking hours originally, if I'm to be
honest with you, because I'm like a long rest is 4 hours.
So if you're going to solve something that should be this
hard and it's gonna take time, but I think that you could do it
in less time. It's in particular in this case.
So if you want to try rolling it, that's where I would start.
Well, I guess I'm trying to figure out the math on it.
Like you're saying, if I take 10, what is that?
What exactly does that mean? Do I just get a 10I?
I roll A10, yes, right. Yeah.
And then it's plus my 13, so 23 and then I.
Have to then roll. Take the other two.
You could take the the the 20 and it would just take longer
time. Right.
And look to you like we should be.
We should, if we're going to do it, we should be sure about like
how long because we'll have to like sit here and be defended.
I mean, we're not doing anything right now.
You can. I mean, do we need to be
defended? Are there any enemies around us?
Or that could be. If I here's the thing, I can
start it and then if we get interrupted then I can just do
it, right? This is true.
What if we go back into the church?
Kind of like, secure ourselves? Yeah.
That was. The rest of an interruption Does
the church look safe? Or back into the back into the
the inn where he doesn't have like a giant floaty head.
The inn doesn't exist anymore. It's smoking pile of molten
stuff. What about that room over there?
Did I get everybody in the AM? I would I be rolling the
guidance and the? Arctic inspiration.
Arctic inspiration in those all these situations.
I believe yes, that would be. The Yeah for the Arctic
inspiration you roll it when. OK.
And I can't do that beforehand. Well, you could for the Bartok
inspiration, absolutely. You would be able to roll that
and, and guidance and guidance. I, I would because those are
both, both of those things. You, you, you do it before the
person does the thing. Like you buff them before they
do the thing. Like if they were in combat, for
instance, and you were trying to get them to attack, you would do
those buffs and then they would do the thing.
If you will let me do that and then I will roll those things
and it will inform us what to do.
OK, so. One, it's 1D4 and 1D10, right?
That's what I was understanding. OK, want to do the D4?
Come on big money one fuck me. D10 big money, fuck me in the
Dick. 2 ones. So if I did the.
Take 10. I would get 10 plus.
Plus. 1550 two 13 + 2 so that would be 25 would be 6 short so
we either have to roll higher. Than Ioffer assistance.
That fucking stocks. I think we need to do the take
20. We need to be sure about this.
Oh, no, there's no assisting in this one, Ash, I'm sorry, when
you were saying? OK.
Like the in that assisting because you you would be making
it worse. I would guess because it's the
things only like the size of like maybe a maybe a softball.
So both of his hands on it trying to reorient pieces and
then you're trying to reorient pieces would just.
Be trying. Two people.
Trying. To no, I would just be like
standing over his shoulder or next to him, just calling out
encouragements. Maybe do that, maybe do this, Or
maybe that would just be making it work.
Both of them would like to do a complex mathematical solution of
the device. I, I will, I will sit down in
the center of this church and I will start the, the take 20
process and I'll just kind of be like guys, keep watch.
I don't know if those like guys will come after us.
If they do, we'll have to roll for it or hold them off.
I don't know how long this is going to take.
Oh, what I could do is I could do a.
A circle? How are you proposing to do a
complex mathematical equation I. Don't fucking.
Know OK I. Write down all the current faces
in their current locations. And OK.
I don't know what. You do a combinatorical analysis
where it's 13 choose 13, which is a lot of choices, but it's.
Foust cast drain. I would like to cast the spell
Pythagorean theorem. Incur you just hear hear a loud
incorrect formula. No.
They haven't discovered it yet. They haven't unlocked
Pythagorean theorem yet. How long will this process take?
The the taste. There and do this.
Yeah, I would have. If I rolled I would have to get
16 or higher and I that is not acceptable to me.
That's also like an 80% chance that's.
A good shot. 8515. Or higher.
Yeah, 85%. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Other way
around. Other way around.
It's 25% chance. There we go.
Don't give me that shit. I thought you were saying 18 or
lower. My bad.
For some reason my brain was broken on the opposite
direction. Yeah, with what do you guys
think 10 minutes for the for for the take 10 and 20.
How long does it take to do a standard like roll attempt,
rolled attempt? Can we take a short rest and
then that time he is configuring the device?
You mean like a a standard just like if?
You were to just be rolling it over and over again.
How long would each attempt take?
Seconds or you mean or like it's?
Got a one in five chance of successfully doing it just by
like playing with it. Oh you mean like in real time?
How long does it take him to move pieces and parts around?
Yeah. Like how long would that
individual try attempt to take and?
I thought you were asking how long it takes to roll a die.
I'm like but. Like mechanically, like how
long? Like is each attempt like in
game? And then I'd multiply that by
the number of attempts it would take for him to get 100% chance.
Like probability wise, like in five chances he should be able
to five attempts he should be able to get a 100% chance of
getting it done. Like that's not how probability
works 100% of the time. But I.
Mean I think we it could be as simple as doing 10 minutes to do
the 10 thing. And then if you want, I would do
like a short, like a short rest length for for the 20 for a 20
I'm I like. I was more asking like do.
Their own thing and. Then what one person as well,
you guys think of the rule going forward like I as the as because
this is going to be the way that we, this is the first time we've
implemented it. So this is going to be for how
this rule is going to be implemented in the future.
I'm I'm thinking that it was going to be it should not it?
Should not be. Easy.
No. Originally I was going to say it
was like 10 hours for the 10 and like like 20 hours for the 20,
but that seems a little deep and but 10 minutes and 20 minutes
seems a little short. Yeah, I would say, I would say
maybe like an hour and 4 hours. I would say limited use would be
the better way to balance it. So a player can use a take, take
10, take 20, then they're done. They yeah, once per game or you
know. How about it cost an
inspiration? That too.
But I don't think we have any. I don't know.
Nobody's. Ever been given inspiration?
So it was just a thought. Yeah.
No, we, we've, we were doing something with that, but I
haven't been giving them out for a while now because people
tended to forget that they existed.
I, yeah, I I don't mind the take 10 take 20 takes 10 minutes.
It takes 20 minutes get in game time.
But you only get to use it very rarely or like in like you know?
The level. You could say, What did you say,
Jake? I said instances where it makes
sense. Yeah, it doesn't really.
Detract from the drama. All it does is just expedite the
story a little bit. OK.
Yeah, that's fair. So if you want to take 20
minutes to do it so or the take the.
Yeah. So I'll I'll say that you guys
are sitting there and probably had enough time to clean up the
space a little bit because to ask your to answer your question
from a while back, this corner still has well, actually
probably be cooled metal in it ash because no one's been
heating the bellows. So it's like this molten slag
that's poured all over the floor from from yourself.
Now that you kind of remember. Yeah.
We did do that.
I think actually the corpses were discussed going back.
Yeah, going back into the for the goblins specifically, we're
going back into the pocket rocket.
So those aren't actually there. I need to put those in the
pocket rocket. I need.
Them anything else you guys want to take?
To well, I do this like feel free.
So yeah. What is everyone else doing
while Franklin sits there and fiddles with this thing?
Oh, given how nasty the pocket rocket is, I'm going to catch
the Unseen servant and just have them start doing things.
That's a good idea. What things are they doing
though? I I need a little bit more
because we're. Going to start with like piling
the bodies into like a a separate like we're going to
like create like a sanitary zone where the bodies will be piled
for like I'm assuming later necromantic use.
We're eating. No incorrect waste of resources.
I moved moved. All you need is the bones.
I moved you over to the Pocket rocket so you could see.
I'm very. You're very limited on space
options here, so Unseen Servant takes no responsibility.
These are little tiny dinghies that you could like.
Yeah, you could go around on the lake that's inside the third
beehive shape. Yeah.
That's the biosphere. Don't fuck with that room.
Yeah, there's also. Planting something?
A sapling that looks like it's been growing.
A little bit. Actually, no, he doesn't want to
go near that. I I, I think they like explore
over here. Like, yeah, not there.
Oh, can't just picking pick up and drag through there.
OK. Oh, there's a crack.
Bob's been Bob. 'S oh.
Yeah, body just dumped in the into that.
That's where you guys have been dumping bodies is in the
biosphere. Yeah.
Fertilizer, Fertilizer. Right.
While I sit there, can I point sorry, and then I'll shut up.
I'll point out to Ash. Hey, you should check this thing
out. I point at the floating head
thing. Might be a great option for Bob.
And then I shut up. What is this space I'm currently
occupying? Where did you go?
Oh, you looks like you went into the void somehow.
Is it? Was that?
What's it? Like.
I think what you did, I know what you did this part here,
that hallway that you were in just before that over here,
right? Oops.
I'm trying to I'm trying to grab you here that I know you, I know
you went over here that that's not a space that's like solid.
That's my own fault for not putting something in there.
So you can kind of see where you're standing at right now is
like a hewn hallway and there's a door that leads, Yep, there we
go and leads into another hallway.
That is the portal. That's usually been where people
first into the pocket rocket, but there's been a bit of intent
and you're just walking into the the the the skeleton.
Cage. Into the what I'm not I'm
trying. To don't walk into the skeleton
cage. OK, yeah, I'm not going into the
skeleton cage. Then let me back.
If it's a cage full of skeletons, I'm not going in
there, just exploring. Like kind of.
I'm trying to get vision on the damn place.
Yeah, yeah, it's a yeah. You walk up to the door and it's
a gate that from the other side you see the skillets, the giant
mass of bones that just up against the cage as you walk.
Pile the body. We're going to pile the bodies
on like the island of the biosphere.
I'm just that's where we're going to put them.
Wait. But that that's, that's an
ecosystem, Yeah. They fertilizer.
Yeah. Do we want that much decaying in
there storage? Away from the food.
Of an ecosystem full of body. Yeah, don't worry, I'll, I'll
take care of the meat of these corpses by the time we're done
or ready for dinner. Just.
Want to just like give the unseen servant like a a mop and
just have? It levitate them all and hawk
them in there. OK, so the unseen servants
cleaning up the some of the. Walk around and use Presti to do
the same thing. We're just going to tidy up
this. Bitch was such a.
Poust is not. Poust is not doing this dirty
shit. Does it also prestidisitation?
No, that's repair, right? That like will repair that.
Mend is repairing. Mend that's the one Mitigation
cleans. Yep, so you're able to clean up
a good bit of the the viscera and gore as the bodies are drug
into the other room and the there are some you notice some
breaks in the walkway that looks like there are rocks that were
falling down. Some are bigger.
A lot of the other pebbles and dust and dirt that fell down
from above though is being easy clean up.
In case that's relevant. If.
Anything is like obviously broken.
It can be fixed that way. So there are parts like here and
here that were obviously broke from bigger rocks like I was
saying that fell down just to the the wooden floor.
Nothing like super detrimental but it it is untidy and a few.
We're going to do what meant what cleaning the cantrips and a
first little spell slot can do, and that's about what Bausch is
doing during this time. And a few chairs and such.
It looks like there may have been a rowdy bunch in the in the
in in the dining area at some point.
And as you guys are kind of walking back and forth to you're
starting to get a feel of what the goblins have been doing more
since you're spending a little bit more time in there with
them. It seems like besides they're
finished mining up up upstairs. It seems like we're up the the
ladder because they've been taking this minecart up in this
minecart down that's all joined to a ladder that UPS goes up at
like a track. And some of them have been
coming down to prepare food or rather greet this goblin who's
behind the counter. And he'd been giving them
prepared food and coming down over here to eat and then going
back up. You're not sure where they're
relieving themselves, but you can smell it.
And they've otherwise they're hanging out and doing their
other activities upstairs. Seems like up, I say upstairs,
but you know what I mean. Why do we keep so many of these?
I tried to get rid of some but I was called no.
I think we need to pocket them in porta potty.
I mean, we need to start growing.
We need to start growing food. Utilize what we have, guys.
That shit is. Valuable pocket rocket and.
Not eating the goblins. You don't have to.
We have githianki. We also have regular food too if
you're a vegan. Are aware that food can be
conjured with magic? Yes.
Yeah, I actually, I raised my hand.
I have the ability to create any kind of food anyone likes with
the using this clay stuff. I haven't used it in a long time
because we started eating people.
Oh well, some of us did. Delicious people.
Can you make a brisket out of that?
Sure brisket, but like after I do this thing so we could get
the fuck out of here. Yeah.
This do get it seems inappropriate to say get the
hell out of here. That is a good point.
Get the heaven out of here, Ezra.
'S just gonna, you know, huddle around like you like, basically
give Franklin a back rest so you can just lean back and just
focus and just huddle like and like a little like.
Yeah, that's very nice. Yeah, yeah, that.
That's a puzzle. I'll figure this out over time.
Yep. Anyone else want to do anything
Agonon? He's at the bar drinking.
Bar drinking. Constitution check.
We haven't had one in a while. I know, yeah.
We've been beating shit up. We haven't had time to have a
drink. The standing champion is Grand
Am. So you fail your first
constitution check for drinking. You are now buzzed.
There is a pinned thing. If you were curious what the
rule said on on that is, it should be how to get drunk.
In what? In the discord.
I think it's in general. In general, OK, pin scrolling,
swimming underwater. Good.
Personable. How to say so?
It's taking me a while to find this.
Oh, you're all right. I was going back to it myself
here. Probably one of the first things
that was ever pinned. One of the Yeah.
Like getting drunk and having sex.
Like one of the first two things we pinned.
We figured out how to do it's outside of the normal rule set.
Yeah, you're actually tipsy. Not buzz the thing, but
currently you have advantage on charisma based checks and saving
throws. Nice.
Is it before or after the swimming underwater pin?
Got to be before. Oh OK, I see a handwritten note,
the world journal, a music podcast, or the music slush
podcasts and then swimming. You're scrolling the wrong
direction. That's all the way at the top.
The bottom is, I thought it was beyond beyond 20.
And then and then the next thing up is how to get drunk.
So we figured out how to, you know, connect roles between the
things. But then we figured out how to
get drunk priorities. So yeah, you're tipsy currently.
If you continue to drink, you may continue to roll.
He's going to slow down and start kind of like a wandering
around to his glass. He's going to wander over and
look for some food over here. And you'd found two, probably
for the bar itself. You'd probably found the goblin
behind there you were looking around and he'd probably be like
what you looking for? And then you'd probably go ahead
tell me what you were searching for alcohol wise.
I'm currently drinking eggnog so he's feeling faster.
Is it? Does this game follow like
calendar year stuff? Is there like a season that
corresponds to our season or no? I guess that would make sense
because the game moves slowly. Yeah, I mean, I do whatever I
want though, so especially when it comes to drinks, you're I.
Don't know if he would actually know what eggnog is.
So there was rum in my eggnog. He is drinking rum.
So for. Our campaign, anyway.
Yeah, he probably be looking for those things and he goes, he
goes, he probably just described some sort of Milky substance or,
or the like that's alcoholic. And he goes, I just got the, I
got just the thing. And he goes over to over to one
of the crates that are off to the side of the bar, that when
he opens it up, there's a brisk air that comes out of it.
And he pulls out a chilled looking bottle with a white
substance in it and pours it into a glass and grabs from
under the counter a clear liquid.
The. Some spices that he pulls from
over the other side. He.
Has 1 all the way again.
All in the same glass and Shake shook him up and then took the
steam off the stove. Just holding the glass over top
of that just to kind of heat it up, just the smidges and then
hands it to you. Merry Christmas my good fellow.
Little overly friendly with the the the bartender here.
Just goes, I don't know what, I don't know what Merry or
Christmas is, but I hope you like it.
Well, I'm feeling the former. And he he, he takes it, kind of
nods and thinks and meanders off.
Going this way, looking for food.
Who did you said you wounded off again?
Faust, or. No agonist.
You You wandered away from your mic.
Oh, me, me. Yeah, sorry, I apologize.
I I keep forgetting because I have the headset on and then I'm
trying to use this new mic that doesn't move with me, but my
headset is on so that I can hear you guys through my headset.
But then the mic is stationary, so I just like, walk away like
I'm yeah. Please, I am outside I assume
for all of this too. I don't want to do this in the
pocket rocket as we discussed. Correct.
Curled up. Curled up.
Yeah, so Mama, yeah, Mama is out there sitting watching Franklin
do this thing. And like in general, just like
keeping a general watch. I'm sitting in your lap if I
can. Yep.
It crawl up there, snuggle it start to work with Ezra right
next to me being like a little elbow like a back pad pulling
out a big pile. It's nice having a family.
I say to you guys, who doesn't sell you to other people?
You. My.
Friend. You, my friend.
If somebody tries to sell you, I eat them.
Yeah, same, same. I look up.
I think that's everyone definitely.
If anyone has anyone boust what you doing?
Moved the bodies and oh. Yeah, cleaning.
Yes, I'm an adult. In this party.
We haven't had time to clean. Ash is the last one I think that
hasn't said what it is that. I am just hanging out with my
baby, feeding him them and basically taking care of them
and getting food back into myself.
Like I think I'm going to eat another mango because my health
is pretty low. And you're outside the pocket
rocket too, if I remember correctly.
I was. My screen is showing the pocket
rocket right now though. Yeah, Yeah, I just moved.
It was just easier to grab the whole bookmark at that point
because I that's. That's OK.
Just make it. But yeah, yeah, I would just
kind of find a place to like, sit down, feed the baby and eat
a mango. OK.
That's definitely going to take like 10 or so minutes if you
wanted to do anything else. The floating skull thing that's
in the middle of this place, that's just a hologram, isn't
it? Or was that an actual image?
Because that was the thing Frank thinks Bob could take over.
Yeah, you go up and you run your hand to to it and it goes
through. So.
Through the image and yeah, through the skull.
Yeah, I think I'd asked Bob the last time we were in here if he
could take over the stall. Oh, I was talking about the
tentacle monster. Oh.
The. One that it has a It is
completely mindless right now. Oh.
OK. So yeah.
Have like a full body but he could be a physical fluting
head. So definitely would have been
noticeable while we were in there and while feeding Enoni.
So I would ask Bobby, like, hey, did you see that one eye
floating tentacle creature in the pocket?
Yeah, no, I don't think I've seen that yet, Mistress.
OK, I'm going to pop back in there with him and go find this
creature so that we can have a look.
Do I get the puppy sit? Are you inside the pocket rocket
or outside the pocket? I'm outside.
OK, Yeah, I'll just put the baby down with you if it's going to
be like, hey, do you want to watch him for just a second?
You see? And I'm.
I'm guessing that after he just ate, yeah, he would just
gleefully like, reach for you, remembering who you are.
With the torque still in in in his mouths, yeah.
Maybe speaks? It from your path you should put
that away in a box. I'm sorry I don't want to be a
Dick about it but he played with it right now.
But long term, that thing is dangerous.
Minneapolis could be listening to everything we say.
Oh, OK. I mean, I kind of thought that
was the point, but yeah, I think he wouldn't like us and I'd like
trail off without saying it. I'm like, all right, give me
that. And I'm just going to, I don't
know, get him something else to play with.
Let. Me see if I have anything to.
Oh, Ezra just would have switched his tail at him.
That would probably be pretty distracting for a little baby.
Tale, tale, Tale tale. What if mommy?
Goo hair, we got a Tinder box. Do we have to roll?
Do we have anything in the baby do?
We have an Astro diamond if he wants to play with that, though
he might accidentally teleport the infant tower.
Well I have a bag full of gems that I thought about giving him
but I'm like oh is that safe? I have it just.
Small. It's small.
You're a small what? That's.
Good for babies, right? Axe, small axe.
Oh my God, that's amazing. Maybe if we thought about.
Giving him a club, like just a little tiny club.
They're called. They're called Pitted, yeah.
It's designed to look like a lollipop.
Yes. He does need to learn how to
fight. The world is dangerous.
Ezra has great idea. He's going to he's going to
reach down kind of pick him up and then just flop him right
down on his like on his side, like in his little, you know,
round the right in the fur just like and it's like looks like
he's going to fall asleep. See if he the baby imitates him
trying to fall asleep. Nap.
Let me take nap. I think at this point Ezra
should also have a parenting skill if I have a mothering
skill. Yeah, I mean.
Who has two pups? Ezra does have two pups.
You could make one. It is.
It is based off of that. What did we base it off of?
Wisdom. OK, Yeah.
Please go make it. Intelligence, please don't make.
It intelligence that does make sense, wisdom and as well that I
think yours should be increased by 1.
OK. Buy one more on top of what
you've already got. But so.
That that one makes me a + 7 The mothering now.
Getting better at it every day guys.
And after handing over little Enyo and Ethel, I would pop back
into the pocket rocket with Bob and wander over to the one eye
tentacle creature. And.
Like hold Bob up to look at it and I'm like this guy right
here. Do you think you could take this
over and make use of it? Oh boy, I could probably take it
over. It has an eye.
It seems to be wait. Is this baby speaking?
Nope, you're probably drinking and walking by as Ash holds up a
talking skull that is facing this the tentacle creature and
jabbering away. Its eyes are glowing with a kind
of fiery light behind them, eye sockets rather, and it's, yeah,
it's talking, saying these words and it continues to go on.
Well, I could do it, but I don't know how pleasant it would be.
I've not been in something like that before, but I assume it's
senses are unpleasant. Unpleasant.
How would they be unpleasant? Well, for one, I think it only
has a mouth. I don't think it has any other
orifice besides its eye. So you can imagine how
uncomfortable that is. On top of that, all of its
tentacles, as you can see as it rides on the floor, move upon
their own accord. They're kind of like having
snakes attached to your own skin that move at their own will.
And yeah, they're just I I also believe this one looks like it's
been set up as a conduit to another psionic being.
If I'm understanding it's sightless nature, it looks like
there. So if it's a conduit, would you
using this be unsafe? Yes, I believe that if I were to
leave the safety of the pocket rocket that I would be subjected
to whatever creature had possessed it before.
Oh so. Long as they're within range of
its of that possession, it doesn't seem to have a mind of
its own to to, to put it lightly.
Oh, so they would try to take control of the creature and then
it would pit the instructor's will against your?
Yes. And you don't think you could
take that fight? I don't know about that.
Are we talking about Kai Shen? He seems to be on a whole other
level, but I couldn't be sure. All right, I guess we should
forego it if we can't, if you can't do it safely, because I'm
not willing to sacrifice you as my AW.
Thanks Mistress, I love you too. I give him a little kiss on the
head and I flash him a booby and then I hang him back off.
Agnes, see all of this? Yeah.
Yeah, I don't really hide it. He's a little perverted skull
and I'm like, yeah, might as well keep him.
And, and he just as you're trying to put him back at your
hip, he like rolls out of your grasp for a second and just
buries his face in in in between your breasts and just he.
Doesn't have any. Lips.
Agnes looks down in his drink, looks back up, and then holds it
in front of his face to check to see if there's still as much as
he thought left in the glass. I do eventually get bombed back
down in my belt and I'm like, man, I hope we can find you a
body soon because you and I need to get drunk together.
I say to Bob, will that pop back out of the pocket rocket?
Ash. Agreeing enthusiastically as he
comes as she comes back out of the pocket rocket.
Because he, he continues, Agnes continues to walk by and but
he's not looking at where he's going.
He kind of like stumbles over some debris as he passes.
We just need to clean, didn't we?
Yeah, we've been keeping our room kind of a mess.
Once I'm out of the pocket rocket, I'll tell Franklin.
Like Bob thinks that it would be unsafe for him to take control
of that vessel because as soon as he leaves the pocket rocket,
the original host would try to take it back from him.
Is Bob here? Yeah, he's hanging off my belt.
I might kind of turn him so that he's looking at Franklin.
Hey, Bob. I'm guessing Bob would probably
say hi pretty purely. Sorry, I was, I was, I was
editing some other things. Oh, what's up?
Hey sorry that one did work. I have another option for you
but I don't know how strong you are.
Do you think you could take on an Angel or imperium?
I can take them over. Oh, well, maybe if they were
restrained in some manner or fashion, can you do that as well
That it it, it should help that we are not of this of a similar
alignment, which is something that I did worry about with that
other creature. But I do believe that because it
was a true creature, it was somewhat neutral enough for me
to but it would make it make it a little bit easier if we're
talking about a good aligned individual as well.
Well, just Simply put that yeah, I'm it's going would.
You like that? Would you want like a a a
demigod body? Well I was kind of already in
Ish 1. I believe Flint was an Azimir.
That was nice. Oh God, I miss him.
I hope him and him and his him and his buddy are doing well.
It's really, it's really brave of what they did.
They chose happiness over revenge.
I kind of let out a little snort and I'm like, I mean, I guess if
that's the kind of thing you go for.
It's beautiful. You don't like love stories?
Love stories are fun and all, but you don't gain enough from
them, Ash says very cynically. They're not wrong.
Hey, at least last time then it was during like our escapades.
You got a baby. This is true.
Wait, is the baby Flints? Yeah, 'cause I let, oh God,
yeah, 'cause I, Oh my goodness, I let Bob take my body for a
joyride, 'cause he'd been trapped in the skull for like,
years and years without any taste buds or any other sensory
organs. I was just like, oh, why don't
you just jump in me and we get, like, drunk and stuff.
And he was like, all right. And the first thing he did was
chug an entire bottle of wine. And then, yeah.
And then just the very first person of the opposite gender he
found, he was just like, hey, do you wanna have sex?
Right now. All right.
And did Flint know who was occupying your body?
You got? I don't think so.
Yeah, I don't think so. He just saw Ash approach him
and, like, very nonchalantly, and he would have sex.
And he was like, yeah. And I think he bent me over a
table and then Bob was hooting and hollering the whole time.
And I'm just kind of like in the back seat of my own, of my own
vehicle being like, well, this is happening.
And then Flint just fucked off and left you with.
Two and one test. Yeah, he left me with A2 headed
baby. And he that he knew about.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
He knew it was him because I left it with him.
Sometimes I'm like, here, you helped make this, and I would,
like, leave him to babysit the baby and then go off and help
somebody with something else. Because Flint also did spend a
lot of time just getting drunk in hell because, well, he wanted
to be back at the open seas, becoming King of the Pirates or
finding Thomas. Or.
Hamilton, if we ever find this Flint, you point him out, we'll
have a word. Because like this, this is great
and all, but on your own time. He holds, holds up his glass.
It kind of like waves a couple little.
Where Where are you standing? Ping.
She she was just moving out of the pocket rocket, but I assume
that could have transpired. Like as she was walking out.
Yeah, exactly. Because it's all.
He'll wave by to the baby as she leaves.
But it she was I'm just going back she because her character
token should still be there. So you could at least picture it
yourself. Let me and I'm bouncing back and
forth between the maps. So she was standing like right
here, so like right next to you, basically all.
Right. But I would say that was about
20 minutes. Yeah, yeah, that probably took
up some time. Everybody touch hands.
Friendship. Oh so.
I reach out and I hold your hand.
Wazer Discount like sticks his tail out for somebody to hold.
Are you Because Faust and Agonon are still in the pocket rocket?
Yeah, it does that not come with us with.
Yeah. I guess so, yeah.
And put him. I'm told to leave but.
Wait, did everyone leave the pocket?
Everyone left. No some.
People have mix and match. Yep.
I went outside. Because I don't.
Want to cast it in the pocket rocket and then not either a
bring our house or B it not work.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I would worry would happen too.
Yeah, so I am outside and then I guess a couple people went out
to like. There's a risk of being
separated from the pocket rocket.
Agonist is also going to go outside so he can stay with the
group. The the pocket rocket is in
someone's possession. Small makes possession.
Small makes. Oh, unless they gave it back to
you. Yeah, yeah, a block.
I'm holding it. So yeah, it will be coming.
It'll be held more than likely on your person at the least, so
that that that's a given. You were touching it.
It counts. I at the end of the 20 minutes,
I go, obviously, and I take out my dark book and I write
something in it, the equations that I wrote.
And then I and ask them and fab Vaus, Jack, yeah, Vaus, what do
you think about these? He's inside.
And then if I'm sure it's the right one and we're going to
level 1, I hit the button and I look up and I say sorry Caishan
sucks to suck. You just see.
You just see the hologram skull that you realize now in the
middle of the room, grinning even wider than a skull should
be able to grin. Good luck assholes as you
disappear. That's a perfect way to end the
session. Great session y'all.
I would like to do one thing at the end as we take a long rest.
I'm going to take a quick short rest first so an hour just to
get my 5th little slow slot. Assuming we teleport somewhere
safe. Yeah, I assume we we would
teleport and then, you know, find a hole to hide on.
Yeah. I mean you could make a make a
note of it, but I have not create, actually I have created
where you guys are going to go if you want to briefly see that.
But it's that's fine. But I think intent is just fun.
Somewhere quiet, OK, somewhere, somewhere out of the way.
Whatever that. Needs to take a nap.
So I hadn't accepted this turn of events, but luckily I've
planned for it. Then it sounds like you did
expect it. Well, it I've taken the approach
that like there is a possibility of things happening.
So there's things that that I should mainly map wise.
That's what I mean by I've I've taken some directive thought
towards what this thing should be in that direction.
Yeah. You guys.
Try to be a little clear about like what we're trying to do,
but sometimes it's just so chaos.
Oh, I get it. You guys are holding hands or
what you doing by the way? Yeah.
Holding hands I'm do I assume I'm using the cube so people are
touching me somehow and holding? Hands.
Yeah. I would reach out and touch
Franklin. I'd put Enzo and Ino on Ezra's
back and then reach out and grab Ezra's tail.
My bugs all hold hands. I cannot.
I'm a screaming just behind the earring on my lap so I don't
have a choice. Oh, OK, I see.
I. Can say no, go here I'm a big
boy I can sit by myself if you don't want me to sit in your lap
I. Mean I didn't say no.
I just want to make sure I want to offend you.
You're important. All of us.
Oh. OK, that's why.
We're a family. Yeah, you know, Mama's just
sitting there, like, like, right.
Didn't ask for it but not necessarily mad about it but
like. Just sitting there.
So you're, you got Franklin on your lap and Franklin, you're
holding Ash's hand and Ash you're holding on to Ezra and,
and, and you know, an easel it sounds like is what I'm hearing
as you touch the side of the cube that you solved that you're
pretty sure corresponds with the first level of hell.
It shifts color. It actually turns into a big
symbol of like a circle with a cross through it.
And then it shifts color into the second level of Hell's
color, just because that seal hasn't been broken.
And you can't go through the second level without or you
can't go through the second level currently because it is
still sealed to the first level. So just as a hat's off
explanation. So then you're the next thing
you know. That one down.
Is that you you got you got it right under your feet before was
like a stone. And then you feel this falling
sensation as everything kind of your your, your, your
consciousness is still there. But it's kind of like you guys
that are all touching can see each other, but around you is
all black. It kind of just it's only a a a
brief sensation of almost freefall before you get your
feet back under you roll me Dexterity saving throws.
It's great to be Ezra Dexterity. So 1325.
And 17 Emily or Agonon, you're good.
You're inside the pocket rocket. You guys felt the fault.
Actually, you know what? You guys should probably get it
too. Yep.
Yeah, would. Gravity just kind of disappear
for a second inside the pocket rocket.
Yep. Well, do I still have a goblin
open? Oh it.
Depends on the physics of the pocket rocket, but sure.
Right. Like if you shake the pocket
rocket, does the inside shake? We could kill so many people so
quickly. Yeah.
We should make a pocket dimension that's just.
Yeah, the pocket rocket could have its.
Own gravitational field. I feel like the pocket rocket
should have its own in gravity because, yeah, because then if
you flip it upside down, that means, like, the feeling would
become the floor. And that just isn't very like
useful for us. Right, I agree with.
You shoved it up their butts too.
Yeah, I'll just have to have to rely on your telling me that
that's something that can be accomplished with magic because
I, I, I tried to look into it for the science reasons and I
have not yet. Yeah, I totally can't.
OK, thanks. So yeah.
Science. Science.
Yeah. Magic.
Magical magic. So yeah, you.
Magic go together. You're all kind of shaky on your
feet, including those in the pocket rocket.
I didn't see years Faust but I'm I'm assuming you didn't get
below like a 50. One our own.
Sorry, Dexterity saving. Dexterity is a + 4, so that's
not likely to happen. Yeah, I'm good.
Cool. You guys are all kind of like
your knees are bent, you're kind of got that stance of almost
like you're surfing for a second.
But those in the pocket rocket, you guys are fine.
Right after that sensation, those outside you see a bright
blinding light that seems focus. On your irises, especially
compared to where you were in in the dim lit caverns.
Now as your eyes kind of readjust, you see around you a
you're inside of a small basin. It looks like in a very dry,
deserted region outside of the basin, but there's a bit of
greenery around where you're at right now.
It looks a bit like a tiny Oasis and you're standing in front of
a door to a the Dusty Mummy, it reads.
Oh. Hell is oh.
There's always a bar wherever we go.
I know if hell has one thing, it's bars and I kind of just
kind of stand up straight and I'm like, you know, another bar
for me to take over. At the franchise.
What was Fausting? All right, What was Fausting?
Don't go. Yeah, Mama, I have to play for
you. Oh, that minded me.
Oh, OK, OK. Yeah, Fausting.
Tumbling commotion Can Agonon try to crawl out of the pocket
racket to figure out what's going on?
You took off your torque. It's in the thing you know, the
only person that I know too that kept their charm was ash.
So you you could go back to the box and take out your torque and
take the poop symbol charm off of it and do use it as you tried
in the. Past Oh, it's it's attached to
the torque. Yep.
And that's the only way. To get like a keychain.
You can take it off. OK, then yeah, he's going to get
that and try to climb out of the pocket rocket because it because
it tumbled around, right. Yep.
Well, it didn't tumble around, but you just kind of felt like
gravity wasn't there for a second.
Your vision went black and then your vision came back and you're
it. You felt you.
You felt almost like you think like you, like you fell a short
distance just but still standing in the same exact spot you were,
you know? Yeah, so he's going to try to
crawl out and at I'm imagining he's crawling out as they were
talking about the bar and he sticks his head out and he's
like bar where he's still got his drink in his hand.
Oh, what a pleasant surprise.
There's what? Every time, at every level, it
seems, Ashley tries to buy them a bar.
At every level, Ash tries to buy them.
Not on the last one because we blew it up.
I mean allegedly. Allegedly.
Don't tell any of the goblins
they said that. These are some well designed
Somebody blew it up and it was crazy.
Yeah. Totally.
I don't know how we survived, guys.
Carefully. Well, glad to be on this level
then and not that one. Same.
Yeah. So we have made it a step
closer. So I guess this is the point
where we call it and then next session we investigate and
figure out how to get to them level 1.
Yeah, but can, can I? Can I, can I do?
So if we're long resting here, a Franklin is going to cast a
dream and we'll target the Admiral.
OK, and continue. If we're allowed the long rest
here, I don't know if we are. And continue to cast it.
I'm guessing is what you mean until it takes.
Yeah, I don't know when she next long rests, but I send a dream
out to her right so whenever she next long rests, she will have
an experience. Well, good enough.
Let's remember that you did that.
I won't. Actually.
Actually, you will, because Mommy sat at the OR, Mime sat at
the table. And so now everything that
everything that Olivia is is is aware of and knows, Mime is
aware of the nose because of sitting at the table.
Yeah. Is this?
So wait, is that like ongoing or is that from eurythmic veracity
and before? No, this is an ongoing new
thing. Oh.
It's not like download. This is from.
You OK? Sorry.
This is from the this eurythmic veracity, the five people who
six people who sat. That's including top table ash
would be. Yeah.
Oh yeah, I want to talk to Ash too.
Yeah, I'll put you down after I send out this spell.
OK. But we can do that next time if
you want. 'Cause it is late.
You, you, but up to you. Also 21 last piece of knowledge
drop. Next time.
While you're dropping is just. This is.
The second level of hell. Like I said, lust.
Lust. Oh, be aware of boy.
It's my time to shine. Get this much dry.
Ezra might Ezra might be OK in this level.
No, he won't. He's got like, no, he's got no
Riz. Franklin's going to have to land
the but the last night lost. Language.
I've been in the smart people level of hell I've been in.
The the birds and the bees. The the, the freaking, the and
now the sexy level of hell. Where can we get to the strong
level of hell? Strong people let's.
We will. Not where the Ring of Wrath.
I think we're there. Wait, were we there?
Were we at that like? I can't remember that all of the
levels wrath. Anger.
Don't. We have a little map.
Seeing the anger breath. That's where I got all my bugs.
Yep, on the fifth level. Yeah, that was fun.
Great place. That's where I sold my head to a
ghost. That's.
Where we go first. Oh yeah, that's where the angry
doors were. That's where the baby was born.
On the level of anger. That's right.
I just raged. That baby right out of me.
Let's just let's attempt to not gain any new party members
through that method and get out of here alive.
As soon as we landed. I don't even want to think about
what kind of venereal disease exists on the range on.
The on the. Level of.
Life, Oh my God. As soon as we landed.
Franklin. Suddenly got like 3 hairs on his
like on his mustache. Like a really shitty one.
I didn't know that could happen when I was on dead.
Apparently you can't escape puberty no matter.
What nice, well, good session. Excellent session.
We've escaped another level of hell.
Handling. Bye.
We're almost out. Escape is a strong word.
We have shifted our location. We need to, we need to hurry
exit. We need to hurry.
It's occurring to me that if like this follows like the
standard, like Dante's Inferno levels, the first levels hell is
just a bunch of dead babies and this is going to suck.
Oh. Oh.
God. But if the follows D&D levels of
hell, there's a war zone there's.
A mask. We have a.
Mask so happy. Ezra would be so happy if it's a
war zone. I I do own a book that tells me
what it is, but. It's much closer to the D and D1
then I will I'll give you I'll. So no.
So no dead babies, unbaptized babies and virtuous pagans.
OK. No, we have the map somewhere.
Ezra's going to be happy when we make it to the first level of
hell. He's going so happy.
Hand out Manny Polis. Levels of hell.
Yep, good night. I guess I still could.
Live. Out, but I like learning about
worlds by experiencing. Absolutely.
We won this thing level 2 last I'll.
Be hopefully I'll have cloud kill so I can go realize this
character's full potential. Level 1 the Lost.
Biological Warfare. Chemical warfare, but yes.
Yeah, sexy Satan on 9. We're going to leave him behind
well back. To marry got killed.
Oh, that's right. So level one.
Well, I'll, I'll, I'll let you find out about it.
We just need to get out quickly. But then.
Again, Faust does on a book on this.
I suppose I should look at it so I can know these things.
Yeah, I need to create some stats for you on that.
I was realizing I made a note to myself because it just says book
right now with like a general description.
If there's actual stuff to it, that would be cool, but.
Isn't that where you didn't? Didn't you?
Isn't that the one you got from the table right?
It's the one I took from the table, yes.
Yeah, that's why I need to create stats for you.
Don't worry, I will get on it. Which wait, which book?
Which exact book did you take? Monster Manual, their handbook.
It was the keys to hell or something like that.
It was like it described hell and also the use of the device
but didn't give me enough of A use that I just can just use it
I guess. That's that's right.
I actually forgot that and we should have probably written
written that down. I'm going to write down now too
that I. It might, it might it, it might
make it a lot easier for you to solve through those basically is
what I would, I would say yeah. And then now that I at least
kind of have a note to myself to create it, I can come up with a
bit based upon what we've been talking about to like the roles
and. We're locked.
Lessening them. We're locked from level 1 now
just because there's a closed gate, right?
We can only go to the ones that are unlocked.
With this key that you have, correct?
Yeah. OK, we need to get out.
We need to get out quickly. Get out.
Kill the gods. Well, we need to get out because
the other side is trying to close the door and keep it.
Closed. Maybe we should be asking Bob
more questions. Yeah, Franklin knows this now
too. But yeah, we should ask Bob more
questions too. There's another team there's,
I'll say this, don't explain to you.
There's another team that's like you're equal but opposite, sort
of. And they are.
Last I remember, the city that they were being friends with was
being attacked by the guys, the PNC, the guys at level 1.
So they are probably taking some sort of retaliatory action.
And if it was me, which it is, I would probably try to stop with
the stem or the tide of of enemy combatants at the source.
So we should just, I don't know how much time we have, but we
have a limited amount of time before it becomes much harder.
Just looking at you. I look like.
Skewing nonsense. I know you haven't woken up yet
and I hold your hand. I look Ash, he doesn't know.
He hasn't got to be to one of those nice tea parties yet.
Yeah. Lunatic.
Some force we carry on, I suppose.
Now I'm wondering, is there a way we could like forcibly
awaken our companions without them being at this event?
I have we've been there enough time.
I have tea. Oh, oh, you won't need much
nudging. Grand Am won't Poust is a man of
science and will resist with everything he has.
It's. Just literal magic.
Magic is just. Science.
Look at that giant skeleton monster.
Yes, it is. Look at me, jeez.
You are a fiend of some manner. Science and magic are not are
inseparable in a universe where they coexist.
Then why don't you believe? In what?
I don't know, that's up to you. Then I'm not your God.
I don't have fact. That's a good way to think about
it. I don't like them, think they're
mean. They make us kill each other.
They can be kind of Dicks. I drop someone into a well and
then drop rocks on them just to make them gods happy.
I kind of look over at you, give you a.
Dirty look. What's wrong with that?
Off topic, getting out of character, I.
Killed myself. We used to go to this thing that
was called, it was just a challenge and basically the stop
would run a level 20 dungeon, but you had level 10 characters.
And last time I participated, I made AI made a cleric in
Pathfinder. I didn't tell anybody what kind
of clerics. So I'm just going through and
I'm healing everybody. The premises last person like
last four to the end. I last four people to die in
this dungeon, go into PvP and. Battle Royale.
And battle Royale it out. I managed to survive by just
agreeing with these other players.
Like I'll be your healer, I'll keep you alive if you keep me
alive. And they agree and we get to the
end. And that's when I real reveal to
them that I spent all of my character creation gold on a + 2
greater striking glacial great sword that I and that I was a
war champ. Oh, a war cleric of Gorham.
All of it. And I changed all of my spell
slots over to harm and went to town on them.
OK. One person jumped out of a
window rather than try and fight.
It was that's excellent. That's kind of been like the
growth of, of Franklin, because in the start he, he was like a
backliner, healing people, giving them like opportunity
attacks. And then just over time, he got
more and more aggressive and. Like just by the way, I forgot
to tell you character hit like a freaking like because in in
Pathfinder's second edition, like clerics feel more like like
war clerics play more like paladins than paladins.
And I, I I think that's somewhat not to give too much of what
you're doing Rick away, but I think that's what you were
saying you're going to tell everybody to is not, not the
dungeon like that exact dungeon, but the idea of level 20 dungeon
with 10 level 10 characters is what you were saying.
Oh yeah. Read the vibe.
Is he was wanting to do something similar to that, so
it's going to be great. So I need to build Sherlock
Holmes. It's going to hurt a lot.
All right, let us know is there items involved or no?
Oh yes, Oh yes, I, I will be. Specifics and I will be.
Yeah, how about say Jacob? Yeah, about say Jacob.
You know how my creations go. Are you going to let me if if
you're doing your create like our creations in this?
Can I roll in with these gunslinger wizard?
No, I'm going to roll in with the oath of the iron blood.
It never mind. Yeah, but say you can grab a.
Good night. No y'all.
No. See.
Ya. Yep, pieces
a grand and wonderful thank you for those who took the time and
made it here to the end of the episode where I know sometimes
we are long winded and others we are just dead silent.
