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 Allelopolis.
Why were you crying? War was thinking.
Who said he could think? The Hand of Fate crosses.
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 myths until myths are
forgotten in the Hand of Fate. And again the Hand of Fate
tosses the dice rolls, spins, turns hitherto the left of
adventurers known as the Rum Rollers in Socrates.
After having successfully delivered Red Dragon Breath of
Shondar to Ferris Telomanus, the lead artificer in the in
Socrates on behalf of Queen Theta and the people of
Socrates, he promised. Ferris promised to work upon the
cursed citizens who required that breath to replenish their
magic spark stolen by the mana thieves from the ocean.
He also gave them a the Paris also gave the rum rollers a
satchel that at the end of the day will populate with their
profits from the potion sales. Deciding their next move was to
heal the newly acquired corpse of the wizard formerly known as
Matt Nimaway, KIRO and Roro take a carriage to Zenith's altar
just off the coat coast of Socrates on a little island.
The the head acolyte there promises to heal the body and
KIRO harvest some octopus eyes to replace those that were lost
from the corpse that were required to put the soul back in
its body. And Nimaway holds the ring with
his soul in it, which must be present at the end of 10 days
when the ritual to heal the body and mend the soul are completed.
The Rim Rollers ask for any corpses the acolytes might have
to sacrifice as they require 10 sacrifices as tribute to the PNC
who besieged Socrates currently. After the remoters depart back
to a dunes deck for a dinner to plan their next moves, several
meetings were held to held as they after getting to the
castles Socrates, the first of which the Daha Lauren, who would
come back as the proprietor of the Pink Plush pig to return
their giant God coin in exchange for the sum of all of her
bottles being destroyed of very expensive liquors.
One of as as well another another person shows up at their
request, one of Ferris's overworked apprentices.
Trying to read my own writing and and they discuss with him
about coming up with a water cannon as well as a holy water
cannon as well as any other fun toys they can come up with in
time for them to meet with the PNC who required requested the
Rum rollers before them with those 10 sacrifices.
After KIRO Cat and Grand Dam had interacted with the the
besieging horde out front the gate a a lazy vampire had told
that they talked to they which they had told that they already
conquered this city. So this was their supposed to
be. This is going to be the meeting
for the PNC and Rum Rollers to confirm that conquering along
with those 10 sacrifices. While they were ordering
breakfast in the castle staff, the Rim Rollers also learned
that Queen Theta had ordered for them to be allowed full access
to the city's coffers for its defense, to which the they
ordered promptly. What are those called again?
The decanters. Yeah, on, on.
Decanter events of water. Yep, there we go.
But blessed by a priest. Yeah, one of the scenes
nonetheless. Then after whipping up, wiping
up the crumbs of breakfast, another affairs.
The Nope. Nope, past that after The
Apprentice leaves and they quick the the rum rollers have a quick
lunch and are able to meet a late rising queen Thea and
Chandar. They begin to lay out their plan
to not provide the 10 sacrifices to the PNC has asked, but
instead request the City Guard push back the undead horde at
their gates. When alerted by Rarl with the
intent that they are the Rum Rollers would strike directly at
the PNC's heart at the Lava Tower.
And the Queen Theater waves them off with not needing to know all
the details of how they're planned to take care of it, just
as long as they freaking take care of it.
And they also get with Shondar, who agrees to help the Rum
Rollers at their hour of need. At that same time, the guards
should be pushing back. And then with that problem
solved, Queen Thea dismisses the Rum Rollers.
And the the Rum Rollers leave Castle Socrates to greet a dune.
A newly improved a dune at the air docks just above the city.
Socrates, let's find out what happens this time.
So. Yeah, I have a request.
On a dunes decks, yes. 11 game one time 11 place can can Demi
appear? In our game.
Can you? I can hear a Mao one in the
back. Yeah, she's, she's in heat like
she seems to be every few months.
It's real cute but I would love her to like just appear like a
giant cat monster. Anyway.
Yeah. So, OK, so we are at the air
docks. Yes, you guys are inside of a
dune inside the cabin crew, the newly updated graded cabin crew,
which seems to be larger on the inside.
Aduna got pimped. Pimped.
My rad happened. So Aduna is very excitedly going
down through the list of things, probably of all the new new
upgrades. We even have a little alchemy
station. The crew all sleeps together now
that's pretty easy. They get their own chest if they
want to hide something away. But we also have this cool vault
that's down to the that's down back there a little smithing
station. Oh and and the the lounge area
is so much blusher and nice. I mean you can experience.
It now is there a distillery room and a brewing room and a
fermenting room. I I I assume that could all take
place in the alchemy lab? You may just give some finger
guns and goes to to search to see if there's beer and wine and
liquor apparatus. And you, you probably would have
been drawn right into the the kitchen area, which seems to be
fully decked out right next to the lounge area with all sorts
of goods. Oh, and the the Queen's Guard
stopped by at some point to make sure that we're loaded up.
Good, good, good, good, good, good, good.
Don't all speak at once. I'm.
Hoping that's that's that's a sound.
The silence of excitement. We're all just very nervous.
We're going to kill hundreds of thousands of zombies today,
hopefully. Oh, that's it.
That is exciting. Nerve wracking.
It is we could die would. Be my main life.
If you get hit by a zombie. I I don't I I.
I will never let Aduna get bit by a zombie.
Don't worry Aduna. I like put a put a hand on the
wall, be like, don't worry. That's I got you got.
You Boo. No zombies.
Were were you going to say something in my way?
Where do you keep your large artillery?
Oh, so I think that that was something that was somewhat
being discussed last time just vaguely as we just is that some
of the stored goods I don't have visibly available, but rather
stored in another portion of me that I can access but no one
else can. But I can easily take the
artillery out and set it up on deck.
Let's hold on. I have a quick question.
Are you able to like, mold yourself or are you like, stuck
in the shape that you are 'cause like, I don't.
I don't know what Ferris did to me, but he when he did I was
able to do that. But that seemed to be on a large
scale if that's what you're talking about.
But I I can still manipulate smaller scale parts of myself.
I was just thinking if we had like, I know like the cannons
will be good up top, but if they were all in like nodes on the
bottom of the ship since you're an airship now and we're going
to be pointed down. But you could have them down
there and maybe like a swivel gun with like a cool glass globe
or something like that with a friendly furry friend in there.
Oh, that is some creative thinking.
I might be able to accomplish something like that.
I draw essentially the Millennium Falcons like gun
port. Something like this.
Then she could be inside and like the only parts that stick
outside would be the parts that shoot.
Oh, potential. Glass or something?
The only the only thing that that image doesn't really tell
me is how someone would stay in it.
I'm imagining the gun is mounted to the floor, which is glass to
the extent that you can make it and still be structurally sound,
and then we stand on this clear floor with the swivel mounted
gun pointing down. Oh, I can't make glass.
Oh, I'm. You make a grate.
Yeah, you could. Like if you had them in like a.
Finer grate where we stand and then a bigger grate around us
where we would be looking through.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Another idea, have you ever
heard of those magic things called shower heads?
We have decanters of endless water.
What if we put like you say, a large grate, a big well for the
water to collect them, and then a grate with many fine holes so
that when the water came out it sprinkles and then it would hit
a large area of the undead versus like a cannon?
Is. This endless water toxic to them
in some way. We have made it holy.
Oh wow. So it is very strong.
Yeah, some sort of slow release system, like like a garden mist.
Yeah, like a mist system. Oh my God.
If we could figure out how to turn it into a mist itself,
maybe the queen has like a misty cloud and spells that we could
borrow and we could like just drop bomb this, use the holy
water and drop it on them like little grenades.
You can see that a dune is has presented herself to as her like
as her tree form body. She kind of grown up it looks
like through the deck planks and is standing there just kind of
like stroke like head and palm like.
Well, you wouldn't be able to do that fog cloud.
If we could get some fog clouds like potions from the stores of
the Queen and then somehow use them with the holy water that we
could like drop them on, like on on them, I don't know.
My my worry in the rain is they could just have some sort of
shelter underneath them. They couldn't.
They could combat this with umbrellas, but if we have some
sort of explosive force that delivers the water as it falls,
like you said with the mist grenades or I don't know how
much pressure we can put into those guns, but like a
pressurized, it would be like a hose gun.
Yeah, that's what they, they, they, I, I point out the
different nozzles on the decanters that I think we
already have stream fountain and geyser, which causes a strength
savings drone damage, OK. And how?
What's the range on that? 30 feet. 30 feet, but I assume.
It says geyser, so that's 30 feet straight, like against
gravity. But if you work with gravity,
obviously you just keep going. Yeah.
It would probably lose force, but you know.
Yeah, it would. Lose its.
Damage it. Would gain force depending upon
how high. Unless it began faster than
terminal velocity. Right.
Water is weird though too. Do they have any blocks of like
a very heavy metal like titanium or anything like that?
How high can the ship fly? You, you, you guys hear a knock
on the door? To the to the chunks of metal
from like atmosphere level. And a dude chimes in with it.
I I think so. So far Ferris is on my decks.
Oh, let them in, thanks. I mean, I look at the captain.
Admiral. Between Admiral?
Like between the Admiral and the wall?
There is a door that leads out there it seems like.
Yeah, but like between the Admiral and the dune or if she's
manifested. She is, she is manifested.
You should be able to see her on the map there too.
Oh, if you're, if you're on, If you're on Rule 20, Yep.
The DNA is manifested 'cause I'm here.
Mm hmm I see. It's this this like tree looking
creature? Oh, that's that's a doona.
Yep, that's the human form that she takes when she's, I mean,
she's still attached to the ship when she's walking around too.
You can see that she never is fully unattached as she moves.
Should I let Ferris in? Do you want to let Ferris in?
All right. I mean he was helpful and kind
enough to help me on my upgrades.
OK, I'll. Allow it.
And the door opens and Ferris is still standing there knocking
like, oh, hey guys, how do you like the new digs?
Quick, spacious. So this will be a conversation
for later, but I'd like to see what we can do about the public
sleeping corners. Oh, I think a Dune could help
you with something slightly more private if you require but.
That would be lovely though we can address this after the
battle. OK, so.
I I'd gotten the word that you were looking for some water
cannons. My Harriet apprentice was able
to let me know I the liberty and spoke with a dune.
She seemed OK with it. I I'm installing them on deck as
we speak. Come on, Juan.
They're quite large. We didn't have time to make them
carryable sizes. I didn't think that was the
request. At least that was not one that
was. No, that's totally.
Miscommunicating. Wait, is it like the water
cannon or the decanter? Are they different or the same?
Well, he he told me of your specifications.
So you should be able to just plug a decanter into it and the
the cannons would then kind of need someone to man them or
woman them. I don't I don't know the proper
term for it anymore. And you would then you would
just yeah, be able to fire at the speed of the water cannon or
the the Cantor. It it should magnify the blast
considerably as well the operation.
Of these devices intuitive or should I receive instruction?
There's a pretty big button. Oh, do I hold the button?
Do I press intermittently? Can I?
Do both. I think you're going to just
want to press it intermittently as it as it stands there though
the recharge time on the the Cantor as to what I understand
there's it's never truly unlimited as they claim.
There's there's a bit of a bit of a downtime to them before
they are, especially with the focusing of their water flow.
They, you know, need need some time to stop.
So they are unlimited. However, they can only produce a
certain volume per minute. Correct.
Is what you're saying. Got it 1.
But otherwise I just wanted to check in, make sure everything
was tip top and hope everyone has a rude full journey at least
and that there wasn't anything else before I helped you shove
off on your maiden voyage. I.
Think we could pick up some healing potions?
That would be, you know, pretty solid.
I can write to the Queen or, you know, one of her advisors.
He pulls out a notepad. Anyone need anything else?
I know some of you are. Like.
Don't, don't. Maiden voyages usually involve
champagne. Shouldn't there be some?
Don't you worry, we're, we're, we're, we're crewing up a, a, a,
a crowd of, of, of people and the docks as we speak.
And there will definitely be booze, Radaha has promised.
Most excellent. Got to got to make sure you
address priorities. But yes.
And healing potions, maybe extra sharp things to throw.
I might need a better sword and armor for this.
Oh, how much better are we talking?
I know. I'm going in.
Warriors can be quite specific in your desires.
I need to be able to take a beating.
Would you want to think I? Should think we'll have that for
sure. They got the beating there last
time. More specific than the type of
beating you are hoping to to prevent I guess with this.
Yes. If if, if you could, could give
me just you know, make of metal perhaps heavy versus light that
that would be helpful. I prefer something a little
heavier OK, but not too heavy OK.
Medium like right in the middle or maybe like a miss reel so
that it's heavy but light. No, I could.
Well, it'd be better. I could go with a miss rule.
I think we have a merchant in town that the Queen could shell
out for. Any chance you just have like a
bunch of holy Avengers just chill in?
Oh, no. Largely.
Just thinking about dropping them from the atmosphere.
I'm not. Quite sure what a you're.
If you're referring to people, then we don't have too many
fighters in Socrates, surprisingly, as being the old
culture that most are are known of, our ancestors did most of
the fighting. We are lucky enough to prosper
off of that. So we've been quite, quite good
at educating ourselves. Like the Normans.
Not sure who Norman. Is but.
I need a big butterfly net, something that I could like
scoop someone up with from like, you know, a safer distance than
5 feet. Huge are we talking?
Want to pick up a person, just one like either a butterfly net
or like a like a big like a like, I don't know if you can
make them that fast, but like we're like a bunch of hunting
traps on the end of a rope. Well, we have hunting traps.
I could get them attached to a chain maybe?
Fuck yeah, that's perfect. OK, so I've got health potions,
miserable plate armor, and the hunting traps on a chain.
I think I can get Radaha to make some excellent cocktails to go
with these names, he's just says, kind of dazedly looking
off. About you squirt, do you need
anything? And I kind of point out our
level 4 with my hand in front of her face anyway.
Yeah, hey, yeah. Do you need anything We're
buying? We're requesting items and
you're very weak. I was just going to stay on the
the ship actually, my my weapon would be the water cannon and my
protection would be the hull. Though my my next question was
going to be something about warding for this great system
underneath the guns. Do you think that there's a
chance that the ship might crash and I might have to find cover?
Absolutely. We could all die today terribly
so like bank on like everything going terribly and like you
having to like, you know, survive in hell for the next
three to five years. If you accidentally fall off the
ship straight into the pit, right, that's where you would go
is straight to hell. Then you would be stuck there
and like with what you got. So like if there's anything that
might help you in in in that situation or others, you know,
this would be the. Time OK then.
Hope you don't die. I hope we don't all die, but I'm
OK with other people dying. I.
Guess I would require some some better leather armor and a
better staff. OK butter butter leather and and
and staff. Better.
Oh. Sorry, trying to keep up.
A butter butter staff. Oh, that would be tasty.
So superior leather and a better staff.
However, I I've done very little fighting and I I I don't know
what I should be looking for. What kind of what, what, what
kind of fighting style do you think you would have?
And like what what, what can you do?
Like what? What sort of career are you
going into? Well, let's see if I let's just
just one moment. Like for example, I go very
fast. That's about the only thing I
do. Gotta go fast for.
You knock things over. I knock things over and I go
fast. I really need to do.
Let's see if I if I take damage then I lose attack strength so I
guess the armor would be important.
Take. Damage.
See I hats off. I've never played a spore druid
before so I'm trying to and we've actually never been in
combat with her so I vaguely understand.
Symbiotic Entity. I would look if.
You just. Google like good items for spore
druid, you will probably find some solid choices.
OK. Are we purchasing these items in
this session? We are.
We are getting them. We have the option of returning
them or having it taken out of the endless amount of money that
we're now getting. Oh, oh, OK, so just go ham,
yeah. Half plate of scorpion or
scorpion armor apparently is very good for you.
That sounds like a heavy armor. It's plate armor.
I think you can do like half plate.
How do I find that out? Let's.
Look up. So, so rare I think.
I can do light armor and Shields and simple weapons it looks like
on my character sheet. Got it.
So that's a plate. Never mind, let me keep looking.
Also, with Symbiotic Entity, I'm a little confused about why I
would even use a weapon. I guess I can only pull this out
every once in a while if I don't strategically use it.
Bonus action You can hurl spores 30 feet away.
I have to use a wild shape OK and it only lasts for 10
minutes. That's normally way more than
enough for a 10 feet. That's a huge weight.
While that while. You're fine.
A dune sidles over to you mommy and kind of just elbows you and
says, did you see I was able to save the gargoyle.
A gargoyle. Yeah, that that was that was
killed just outside of Babylon on the Euphrates River.
You guys stuck it on my prow as my statue.
Oh that's awesome. I'm glad you could save him.
Where would you like? Is he still in the front?
No. Inside now is an art piece.
Yeah, he's inside as an art piece on the wall just as you
walk in. I was hoping it'd scare people.
That's awesome. Yeah.
I was going to say something about being scary and scaring
things off. Nice touch.
Proud of you. What is on your bow now?
Well. I don't know.
I don't know if I've shared this with everyone yet.
I thought I did at one point. No, I haven't yet because I've
been waiting 'cause that last that last session.
No, no, come on. Work with me here.
I was just going to post it in general what aduni like looks
like from the outside. Yeah, do so look up Emily and
Moonsicle. You should.
Get that? Every post I'm scrolling through
now is talking about that one. Yep.
And armors for druids. And I'm sorry, Go ahead, Josh.
I put it in general a moon sickle.
Yeah, yeah. I'm also interested in a staff
because I like the aesthetic. I can take a look at that.
Doesn't look very aerodynamic, but looks freaking sweet.
Yeah, instead of Wait, you're a druid.
Do you have plant growth? Huh.
You you're a druid. Yeah.
Can you take the plant growth spell overnight?
Am I allowed to change my spells each night?
For we're allowed to have prepared, yeah.
For prepared spells, yes. That is general.
The General. How do I look at what spells I
can choose from? Do I have to find a player's
handbook? Yeah, manage spells.
Because half of our plan was relying on dropping, also
dropping a bunch of like plants and doing plant.
Growth, but I don't know if you. What spell level is that?
It is we. Spells and you.
Have we don't have that. Versus prepared spells, so.
I'll say you basically play like Franklin does.
You're an Aura cat. You're an Aura fighter.
And the spell is called what? Plant growth, but it's a Level
3. I don't know if you can cast
Level 3 is at level 4. Negative.
Well, you haven't upgraded your, you haven't upgraded your level
yet. So I don't know.
I'm just looking at your character sheet.
Most characters level 5 is when you get access to third level.
Thank you. No good to know.
Well, I could be off. I'll I'll take a look at these
things that I can acquire before you guys leave.
Should. Pick up staff of The Woodlands,
you'll pick up a pass without trace and then we could pass
without trace, us and the ship all the way to the tower.
OK. Where we're delivering our
payload, hit the tower and then come back and then unleash the
water. We go way up in the air, right,
do a big arc and come straight down on them.
Staff of what? Staff of The Woodlands, that
would be sick. That's that's a good plan.
Can't promise anything when it comes to finding some of the
more magically attuned items of of such natures as as I'm sure
you know that they stocks of such things are limited and that
that's might not might not catch the right salesperson at this
hour. For sure, for sure.
Am I allowed to buy backup weapons with this unlimited
money? The Sky's the limit, it's the
Queen's money, so she said. Whatever they rub, rollers need.
OK, I am interested in staff of The Woodlands and staff of the
Python. OK, I can take a look.
Excellent. But I should be off if we are
going to meet you guys's deadline and I get back here in
time. I would also like to put in a
request. Did we figure out armor?
No I would probably just go with like a A plus one set of leather
and maybe like a cloak of cloak of protection or a ring of
protection if they have them. You should cozy up with Shondar
and see if you could get some of his shed scales to create a set
of dragon armor because you can wear that.
Oh, OK. Or and.
I mean, you couldn't do it today, but.
Ferris looks at Hero. Maybe that one could help you
with that. Who's a oh large?
Black you could wear you could wear his skin are.
You shed. That's a very personal question.
I'm, I'm, I apologize. Well, if that was if that was.
But yes, the health potions, missile plate armor, hunting
traps on chain. Better not butter, better
Leathers. Armor the moon scythe, or a
staff of the woodland or a staff of the serpent.
Maybe like a cloak of protection if there is one, but like she's
a little guy. She needs she needs a lot of
help right now, But not saying you're weak, you're strong
person, but like like compare. I don't know how to say this
without offending you. You know what?
I. Mean you could not offend me.
Oh, I am squishy. Yes, as someone I know would put
it. Hi, sweet.
All right, gang. Well.
A busy morning. I'll be off, You have some time
to relax I guess, get to know your ship, maybe some of the
accoutrement, and I'll make sure that those items are here with
post taste. Great.
Thank you guys. You guys, you nobody.
'S watching you. I sent a letter.
Oh Oh yeah. Also, that reminds me this this
is when that dream would be transpiring for Franklin.
Right, so. What is?
How is didn't we already do this
one the the coach guy? That was to the coach guy, but
how was Franklin trying to reach out to Allalopolis is what I
wanted to know. Oh I think I will skip that one
for now. I don't have a set plan and I
don't want to drag it out. Sure.
I will consider. OK, I have I have contingencies
in place. I just wanted to remind you of
that one. I'll probably do it at some
point soon, but we have things to do.
Yep. As we all head to bed, I send
off a letter to Franklin and then I.
Guys, I don't, I didn't think we were going to bed.
I thought we were headed out in like a couple hours, right?
Catnap Ah, OK. Well, if you wanted to check out
the rest of the the corridors of my of the inside, that's fine.
But the you could also explore the deck, just just a.
Don't what it takes to attract to that, obviously.
Work there. Hi, Jess.
Hello. Hello.
Just in time. Sorry, I was joining too late, I
was asleep and I didn't send no more.
Good nap. We are about to head out on our
bomb run, which I think the smartest play.
I say this before we go to bed and I guess as as you hop into
existence, what if we we fly really high up above the tower
and then the biggest thing would be like we want to do a bunch of
damage to the tower without hurting a dune.
I don't know how fast she can go.
Like how fast. Like how close we need to be
before dropping the bomb on the tower.
Or if I should deliver it and then run away faster.
We can hear you. How how fast can you?
Yeah. How fast can you drive a dune
fly? I'm.
I'm going to vote. I'm going to vote, Franklin.
Deliver it. I am not Franklin.
Not Franklin. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Rural, Rural delivery delivery method.
Again, Aduna is big, large, massive, not aerodynamic.
Yeah, if I was tasted. Probably go with Roar since you
know I'm the only other person that can fly currently.
Oh, that's fine, but I I mean, I don't know how fast you can go.
I can fly. Maybe I would have to strap you
onto me because at my top speed once I stack I will do what 60 *
2 * 2 * 2 I'm going to do about 1000 feet in a second and in a
round I'm just kind of like run in, drop off the bomb, say hi
and like leave. To answer your question, my face
speed is about 200 feet. OK, so you could Sprint at 400.
That's pretty good. I will.
My base will be 60. With the Boots of Speed it will
be 120. With Feline Agility for one
round it will be 240 if I use my haste spell that I have in my
ring of spell storing. If if KIRO is nice enough to
cast fly on me then it will be what was that 480 * 2?
No. No 480 And then I can dash
action and action again with haste for 480 * 3. 4812 Kiroka
Kiroka looks at you going I don't do magic. 1000 feet in the
car, points at his wings on his back.
Oh Jesus, that makes more sense. I would also like to point out
that Rural is much smaller than Aduna.
Yes. Yes, I thought we were going to
use my my decks for some sort of water delivery.
Is that after the bomb that you're talking about?
Yeah, I think it should be like deliver bomb, bomb goes off,
then immediately drop all the water, like the holy water.
So like they had like a 1-2 punch like fire and then water
or maybe water then fire. I don't know.
Wish we had the oil. But we wanted to burn all the
plants, right? Yeah, I will.
I think the plants is for like dealing with the zombie horde
because Shondar to deal with the horde that's attacking the city.
Shondar was going to fly in and do big sweepy dragon attacks
with fire breath. So if we can bomb, quick bomb
the tower then immediately turn around and start hitting them
from the other side while the city pushes from the City side
and then Shondar hits them from the third side.
Hopefully we could route them and the poor side would be the
sea. Hopefully they 'd have nowhere
to run. They would not escape.
We would drop, you know, plant growth, but we can't cast it.
So that's a kind of a moot point.
So we're have to use our holy water cannons.
The holy water cannons seem pretty robust.
They do. Oh, oh, cat, cat, did you see I
kept the gargoyle? Oh, cat.
Oh yes, a wizard. Yes, they pick it up, pick her
up and give her a big hug. I'm like, I'm here for the
action. What did we keep?
The Gargoyle. Oh yes, you weren't here then.
The squaw had gargoyles after him for a time, and well, we one
of them that we we killed and kept and put on the prowl.
I was able to keep it though. Well, you were here, but you
weren't really here. Yes, I hadn't come into myself
that quite yet. So I hear we're delivering a
bomb at speed. Yes, Cat, will you join Team
Bomber squad if everyone's agreeing agrees with the plan?
I look around, 'cause you can sit in my legs.
Yeah, I could. And we're bombing the Tower of
Hell. Yes, there's.
Supposed to be a big meeting in the top of the tower of all the
head, neck garments or people. We're going to fly up with a
dune because she can fly now really high.
Then you're going to get on my back.
We're going, I'm going to pick up this bomb, maybe strap it to
my chest, and then we're going to fly really fucking fast to
the tower. Drop the bomb on them, get out,
let the others know. Well they'll know because there
will be an explosion then. Maybe like they drop their water
and then descend with their water cannons to join the fight.
And then we eventually hopefully make our way back to the city
where we hit the zombie hordes from behind.
Hopefully they are discombobulated.
If we kill the leaders, then the city comes out and hits them
from the other side, and then Shandar comes and hits them from
another side. This sounds like a lot what
we're going to do it. We have so many steps to do.
We have a lot to do. We have to save the city.
OK, let's do it, gang. All right.
So we're getting ready for a long rest and we're going to do
it in the morning or we're doing it now.
It's a short rest because Ferris said he'd be back with a bunch
of stuff and that the the christening for the mating
maiden voyage of a dune was about to take place, so.
OK. Short rest like 2-4 hours right?
I think it's technically an hour, but.
Technically an hour. Perfect, because that's what I
was hoping. That's what happens.
So what do you guys doing for an hour?
I'm cuddling with my siblings and they all die.
I give them. Guns.
I'm going to spend time with a do name.
If anything comes for you, you shoot them fucking dead, even if
it's one of them. Yeah, it could be zombies, but
don't shoot them automatically. Nimaway is going to keep an ear
open for whenever we open a bottle and do a toast, but in
the meantime, she's going to meditate in the greenhouse.
Or what? What is?
What would you like to call this bottom corner?
As you approach the bottom corner, there is a tree that has
some glowing spheres on it that kind of hum softly with a blue
bluish tone and Aduna says you found the heart.
This is what I think Ferris used to help upgrade me.
And you see some controls on there as well, like buttons on
the tree. Oh wow.
He's growing. It was growing in my lower decks
and he when he found it, he he was very excited.
Has it always been with you? No.
Mom may at one point found a tree somewhere and then planted
it on my decks by accident. Kind of.
What are these fruits? I don't think they're fruit.
They they glow softly. It feels like, for me at least,
that they are. They're kind of like energy
reserves. A battery almost.
I think that's a word I heard Ferris using.
Right. Do they ever drop?
You mean off of the tree? Yes, like fallen apples.
No, I don't. I don't think so.
Anyways, I'm kind of new to them.
OK, well if you notice such, I'd like to see what I can learn
about one. Oh, sure.
But I would not want to to pluck one if they're not supposed to
come off. As you get closer to probably
like examining one like as closely as you can without
touching it, I would guess trying to like preserve it,
you'd see that there is kind of a what you could you would only
think of as a wire, but it seems to wrap itself into the tree
it's and around its branches and such from the from the orbs.
Oh. So I'm imagining like a a thin
blue glowing. Cord.
The cords themselves aren't really glowing.
They're kind of a metallic Y, maybe almost even a copper hued
with with with maybe a hum as you put your head closest to it.
OK, so the the wires look mechanical rather than organic.
Wow. OK so after she finishes
examining 1, she's going going to sit cross legged amongst a
like a little nest of roots and do some introspection before the
battle. If my costume changed too for
everyone, probably. Yeah, if you got tokens you want
to give me, let me know. Oh no I'm just I'm wearing all
black ninja outfit with like a turban like face covering going
into stealth note. Cat.
Cat, did you see you were excited about your orb?
I I put it over here. I'm going to follow her over to
where the orb is. Can you hear me?
Yeah. OK.
I, I was just looking down to see that I and realizing you
can't see the map. So move you down into like what
looks like a, like an, A very advanced apothecary station with
like bottles and instruments for distillation and fermentation,
as well as a, a, a slew of storage containers.
And what she leads you up to directly is 2 desks that are
kind of set off to a North and South direction from, from what
you're looking with a half curved wall that connects the
two desks. And in between those desks on
that wall, your orb is kind of floating, but or just kind of
held by a couple branches off the wall.
Oh this is so nice. I can get so much studying down
here. This is perfect.
Just walking around looking at everything, amazed.
All the walls curve as you walk around them, you see.
Oh yes, and I don't think I got to tell you, but the, the the
queen and their guards decked us out with a bunch of goods.
So pretty much every station is is full.
We got another smithing station kind of down there and crafting
as well with that. Just other random storage areas,
a nice full kitchen with a very luxurious lounge and books to go
along with those and a shared cruise quarters.
Everybody's got their own hammock and chest that that is
theirs. That is key to their person.
Oh, and we got a big old treasury room now too, so if we
wanted to share any goods there, that'd be That's a nice big old
place. So many things have been done.
This is so nice. Are you happy with all of this,
Aduni? I am so pleased.
I I I feel much more myself. I don't know what that that even
really means anymore, but I am content.
I'm glad you're content and I like caress her wood on a
railing or a wall somewhere wherever she has like part of
her manifesting. And she she purrs softly at your
touch. Now that actually come through.
OK, I finally got the map to load so I see where I am.
Yep, yeah. That's nice.
And this is my orb right here. Yep, OK, I I polished it off
some and Ferris was pretty intrigued by it, but I I said it
was yours not to touch it, so he left it at that.
It's probably safer he doesn't touch it.
I don't know. Exactly the ramifications that
happened from messing with it too much.
But I've heard some bad things, so better safe than sorry until
I can study it more. Sounds good my love, I'll keep
it safe. Thank you dear.
Again, just caressing her and that's probably what I'll do for
the rest of the time. Just enjoying the new space here
and then cuddling with her. How about you KIRO or Mommy
KIRO? 'S going to wait for the armor
and the sword to come in, but until then, he's going to be.
Like excited. For you, yeah, kind of, but he
kind of tempers his excitement. He kind of goes in into like a
out back out to the the deck of the ship pulls out a West stone
and starts to sharpen his, you know, more traditional swords
just for mentally preparing his self for battle.
Mommy and Mime is going to be in the alchemy room.
I'm. Going to do that?
Working on definitely some wine. It's going to like fill up a
couple jugs with some fruit juices, put in some yeast, you
know mess with the the top a little bit.
Make sure nothing will explode. Starts looking at what is
available for different for for different beer like like wine is
the best one right? You just like kind of put all
the stuff in the jug and you leave at the corner and you
know, like ruffle rustle around the the shelves looking to see
what's there for like different. Beers or.
Or what, what do we have for for distilling right?
Like just just general like to pass the time.
I guess we'll see what we can start on.
Right, that's that's what. I'm amazing.
I was. Trying to remember I'm I knew
Zeth Zef had a like brewing kit slash like skill set for it, but
I didn't think you did yet. So I was going to ask you to
roll something and. Oh yeah, you should cause 'cause
Mimi is an amateur, doesn't, doesn't know much, but knows
that like wine is easy, yeah. And you may have proficiencies.
That's definitely not, oh I have a skill that says running shit,
I do that. Yeah, that's, that's, yeah.
That was for when you're manning manning the helm.
Yeah, I. Mean it looks like it looks like
you could go with something like a like a medicine for now role
'cause I. Don't know.
No, no. I wasn't thinking sleight of
hand because it's not so much like, you know, a dex.
Medicine. Yeah, that's why I was thinking
medicine or. Survival.
Yeah, it one of those two which you're very well.
Modifiers the same, yeah. So. 28.
Woo. Nice, my nose leads me
correctly. I got a really refined palate.
You find some odd fruits that you hadn't quite experienced
before. You kind of play with the yeast
that that smells a little little fruitier to you too though.
So it hopefully amplifies the the sweetness of the the fruit
you're hoping. But I'd say it's going well and
you feel that way too. But yeah, you set it up so that
you won't know until hopefully you survive later At that point
too. I would say that a Dune would
tell you guys, after you spend some time relaxing and doing
that, say, oh, it looks like everyone's ready outside and
Ferris has a couples people carrying some goods if you guys
want to come on deck. Was that like a broadcast to
everyone in their respective locations?
Yes, so she can talk into your minds, but OK.
And that's the only way she can talk so.
Nima Way briskly stands, hikes up her skirts to step over the
roots, the roots, and hurries upstairs.
Your cat will make his way to the decks.
I'm going to check with the oh, go ahead.
Josh, I know my shopping list was super piece meal in the chat
so I send it to you via text. Oh cool as well.
Where are the stairs up? Here if if possible, I'm going
to have a Dune play an entry song for us.
How do? I go upstairs.
Trying to think a good one. Token.
Yeah, where did your token go? You have to go through the door
to the door. Oh, you went.
Through the door somehow. Yeah, I I chucked my token to
the door and now I can't pick it up.
Yeah. You click and drag across the
whole street screen to try to pick it up 'cause I had to do
that. So you.
No. I think she's done a full done a
full mime, which is something you were very infamous for there
for a long time. Just like throwing your body at
doors until you could glitch through them.
And then get vaporized. Nice just run around.
I got stuck like off the map one time.
I think that's what's happened here because it doesn't even
show me off the map anymore in this particular program.
And I can only highlight and select on the map.
The highlight stops once I hit the border of the map, no?
Yeah, same, even from the DM side and it looks like I've got
a wait now. Not yet.
Some reason my character tokens aren't loading.
You might be on the deck still. We'll see.
How do I see the deck I still. See the old?
I'm getting there. Oh, I have to.
I have to do it. Is that the song you're
requesting? I.
Think so. The 18.
If you could just like play that really loud on a speaker the
entire fight it would be cool. Maybe like a?
Playlist. So yeah, it looks like you like.
Death metal. On the deck, which is good, I
think everybody else is there. So Yep, guys, get out on the
deck. I, I've learned my lesson.
The the just use your imaginations.
There are like hundreds of people on the docks cheering
you. Cool weather out.
These are cool docks, yeah. Yep.
So you guys are like up in a tower that you, you were led
here previously by one of the guards to get up into one of the
towers of Socrates that are on the outsides of the walls.
And Ferris has been outfitting with these air docks that he's
slowly been building. Can you see like, one other ship
in there right now? That's very like a very small
dinghy compared to a dune. Look at this guy's ship.
It's so small you're not even compensating for anything.
Dude, Nimaway. Runs over to the side.
Dress blowing behind her and throws her torso over the
railing to look down and she's just in awe and can we see the
ground? When you look out through the
port pole, that is where the ships go like on on more from.
I think we would still use that term when it's going down into
the sky, but you see the outside facing wall of the city.
So it's kind of facing north and you see the tree line and in the
grassy plains that are down below.
He's She pulls out her map and looks to see how accurate the
actual landscape is compared to to what she has for the area.
Oh, the that's kind of yes. You zoom into the area, you get
a kind of good view of the of what you're seeing.
It doesn't seem to be live though, So you don't you don't
see on the on the on the map. Probably a the the top of the
tower where you're at. It hasn't seemed to populated
yet. Google Maps hasn't been in your
area recently. Can she imagine what she has
seen of the world and try to make it happen on the map like
update from her memory and knowledge?
You're, you're holding it and you're having a sense of wanting
to do that and it seems to respond with a OK easy.
And it pulls from your imagination to kind of get a a
lumpy idea of what you're thinking on the screen,
basically. And she she kind of like looks
around at her surroundings to get fresh memories of.
So it's not just like organic multi day old memories or
whatever. Like she's trying to observe
things and think about incorporating them as she sees
them. Dad.
Seems to kind of refine the image a little bit.
She's delighted and completely lost in her task and I'll I'll
pass the torch. Everybody can see, right?
I've got everybody there. Yep.
Yeah, I can see. Cool, have you found yourself
though is the question Cat. Yeah, I moved myself.
I'm standing on top of a railing looking over the edge, right?
My siblings need to stay in the city.
We're in there like bunker somewhere, somewhere far away.
Not. On the ship well the ship is now
going to be in combat they are non combat things so yeah I
leave them tucked in some some nice hole somewhere you just
stay here give them all guns they.
They step off of the the side and.
They go have an adventure. Or waving.
Oh, oh, I see you now. Finally you blend it in again.
Really good with the railing. There you are.
Yeah. Ferris walks up on deck with his
crew and starts handing out. I was able to get creative.
Potions. We did find some various hunting
traps and put them on a train for you.
You didn't say how long though, so I kind of took an assumption.
We got like 100 foot chain here and you see like four people
carrying in. That's funny.
Just 100 feet in the air, just whipping this thing around.
That'll work perfectly, right? We'll see.
A somewhat more refined looking gentleman walks up with a a
smaller chest and what? And Ferris nods to you.
KIRO and the individual walks over to you, looks at your
measurements and opens the chest kind of like dials in some
buttons, it looks like and maybe a lever or two and then opens it
and pulls out individual pieces that you requested for your
size, a little bit bigger. So I'm glad I brought the chest.
KIRO bows and thanks them respectfully.
My pleasure, she'll do fine. I hope that they see good battle
this day and then another person comes up over to you Nim away
and sends you with the the leather armor and then goes into
back to pulling out. Well, we were able to get a hold
of a staff of serpents no problem and holds that for you
if you want that, but the we weren't able to find a Oh, and
this cloak of protection I think was on there too.
Sorry, I'm going back to your list.
Sorry. OK.
All right, not here, here. OK.
Oh. Oh, and she kind of like waves
the guy over with the chest and he pulls out a a she she points
to you and pull. He pulls out a a scimitar and he
goes. I think this is also something
you were looking for. Beautiful.
Thank you sincerely. And she's admiring them.
Hats off. I'm really happy to have those
because they fit the aesthetic I was going for, even though the
other ones might be more useful. So those are the ones I wanted
most, so thanks. Wait, yeah, Intuition.
I just kind of ran through and picked a couple.
Thanks. Yeah.
Well with that, says Ferris Kind of shoving the rest of the
people off the deck. Oh Cat, good to see you.
I I didn't get any requests from you, but is there anything that
I could get you last minute before you guys head out It'd
have to be something not too drastic.
I'm sure that's a lot of the people around have have goods
even on the dock here itself, but.
I actually can't think of anything that I need right now.
OK, I think I'm as prepared as I will ever be.
Well, in that case, I think you might like this little thing
that I've been whipping up, and I'll pull from your inspiration
there, Keto. So if you want to put an
inspiration point on yourself, go.
Ahead. We've got these mana potions
that I've been wanting to test out if you wouldn't mind.
It should replenish so many levels of your spell slots.
Oh, I am intrigued. OK, well then.
And he gestures off to the side. I was hoping somebody would be
willing to test these until he pulls out the a crate of those
two. This should be able to get you
through quite a quite a quite a tough spot I would say.
Beautiful. Are there mana potions in
inventory or am I creating a custom item?
I they're inside my book. You can look at.
Yeah, they're there. So I'll I'll work with you.
OK. And and you know, obviously
anyhow. So with that, shall I let Radaha
know the time is is nigh? Do it.
All right. He just circles his hand around
his head and starts walking off the deck.
And you hear the this the some some music that might have a
little bit more of an electric twang than what you were
thinking to it. Because over Daha's particular
particularities, she owns a nightclub.
Magical one at that. And then the lights kind of go
down low too when they start strobing like.
Yes, ready for combat just like this.
And you, you hear Ferris yell above the the crowd as
everybody's cheering. And you hear a smashing of a
bottle with cheers and probably Radar herself running to one of
the rails and, like, sucking a bottle at you guys, like, like,
waiting for somebody to attention and then chucking at
them to catch kind of thing. Yeah.
Catch it, hand it to the Admiral.
Oh, you're going to need a Dexterity savings from my
friend. Oh, not what I was wanting to
do. I think.
For which one?
For who? I whoever's trying to catch the
bottle and who locked eyes with Radaha, I'd I'd heard both Kudo
and. Rara.
Oh no, I was doing, I'm, I'm doing something for a cat.
Oh, OK, I see. So.
Let's save 16. You're able to catch it just
like at the top of your reach, in one hand by the neck and the
bottle. The bottle sloshes around with
this shining, shimmery goldish liquid.
Liquid, she says. That's one of my.
That's one of my clients least favorite bottles, but I figured
you guys could make use of it. Perfect.
It was the wrong voice, but you get it.
I pivot and I present it to the Admiral.
Admiral, you've been waiting quite a long time for this
moment there. You go cat.
My hand in front of the admiral's face.
I take what you're handing me. What is it, Admiral Mommy?
Yeah, sorry, I'm having puppy. Puppy things.
I take what you give me. It is the champagne bottle.
Ready. Oh yeah.
Yes, I.
Take it ehusiastically. Is it?
Is it opened? No, I mean, I you got to do the
thing, don't you break it across the bow or something?
Or whatever you want to do with it.
Or. Whatever you want to do.
Yeah. Because we're on the front.
Yeah, I'm not going to break it. That's usually you do that.
I guess it is a brand new ship, but it's not a brand new ship.
You let Chris in the brand new ship by breaking it.
But I think we should all drink it.
So I'm going to, I'm going to like motion to all of you to
line up and align. Like who has time for cups?
So everybody needs to get in like a single file line.
And I'm going to I'm going to pop the pork.
Champagne style. Though, right?
With a with a shake. Yeah, I'm gonna shake it and pop
the cork. And then I'm gonna, oh, so
before this I'm gonna like go stand on a box or something.
So I'm taller than everybody and I'm gonna, so it's gonna open,
I'm gonna motion everybody to come by and I'm just gonna like
pour champagne directly in their mouths.
I get like a full mouthful of champagne, like one after the
other. I will get a champagne bottle
for you as the capacity for this to happen, but continue.
Everybody comes through and gets their mouth full of champagne.
I am also going to take a big swig and then pour some out a
little, just a little bit on the deck.
I'm not trying to like get a dune all, all messy, but pour a
little bit on the out on the deck for a dune.
And then just like, I don't want to throw the bottle over
overboard or I don't want to litter, but I will look for some
sort of receptacle to to, or maybe we'll keep the bottle.
Yeah, we'll keep the bottle. That'll like come on a shell.
I'm not. I'm not sure how everybody else
is responding to that, but Adunae's boards soak it up.
I drop onto my knees and just like, tongue out, accepting the
champagne. Nimaway is a little shy about
it, but she's having fun but trying to contain it.
Cat will accept the drink, but I'm going to guess for him it's
going to be very messy. And he always all fancy.
You don't do that bird thing where you like where where you
like, you stand under the water or under the champagne, open
your beak and then like it gets all over you and then you like
preen yourself in a shake and flutter.
Yeah, I I would imagine that's what exactly I would do.
Just get champagne everywhere. And then I'm going to go back
over to who was handing me something.
Oh, that was that was the bottle that was being trying, trying to
be handed to Admiral Mommy, Me, me, damn it.
I'll give you, I'll be handing you a little jumpsuit because
your jumpsuit's going to strap onto my jumpsuit.
Oh, I missed that completely. Oh, I got a.
Backpack jumpsuit currently. No, I didn't miss that.
You have that. I miss that You were handing
that to Cat. That's my bet.
I'm, I'm now doing it because, OK, I might as well take
advantage of the opportunity it's got like her, whatever her
logo is on it with like her name on the back.
And it was like it was made out of shark skin.
Yeah. Also, we're so we're nice and
aerodynamic, but we look like we're ready for the water.
Yeah, I can do it all, baby. It kept you kept the shark fin
too. So no, it's Cat the chicken with
a shark fin. Fuck yeah.
Beautiful attack chicken ready for combat.
When you ride my back, we become a shark.
All right. Great.
I'm going to need constitution saving rules from everyone just
for the campaign, but doubt that that's going to.
Should have gotten this. This world's got equivalent of
cocaine. It's that'll be a 24 KIRO.
MSG. Is it MSG?
Yeah, it's also referred to as MSG. 5.
Oh wow, I imagine like a. Bunch of coke for this battle
would be a smart choice. OK, surprisingly, I think a lot
of you failed. We all just get some hot.
No, you, you. Are often a little sip of
champagne eating? Through.
Yeah, Constitution. We're down.
Here, trying this little bottle of ends with champagne.
This one shouldn't. Matter, actually.
It it says it's Constitution safe.
That one just says Constitution. Oh my God.
Yeah. Either way, though, you're fine.
Take whichever 1 you is right. You're fine, but Cat Rural
Nimaway and I'm still waiting for KIRO. 20 from KIRO.
Oh, OK, so KIRO and. Mama are the.
No KIRO and Mama are the only ones that aren't tipsy
currently, but everyone else is tipsy.
You gain advantage on charisma based saving throws currently,
but. I do a handstand if.
You want to mark that and make sure.
Handstand while I'm attached to your back.
Sure. To put your items and your
inventories that you got, yeah. Otherwise the health potions and
mana potions are going below deck on it with a DNA kind of
opening up and taking the crate in.
I will take a couple in. Those out, we yeah, we will
split those up. OK, there's, there's, there's
quite a lot in here, though. I don't know if you want to have
like there's I I think there's like a 100 of each.
Damn. OK.
Yeah, we don't need to put them up that evenly.
No, I mean who? Who here cast magic?
Do you have any means of like do we have a bag of storing or
something? I do not have a bag.
I do not have a bag of holding. I have a bag of holding.
All right, so we. Have to catch the magic.
We should probably split it in like just put the whole thing.
I mean we should have most of them here available for pick up,
but like each of each person should maybe have 5 of each and
then have the rest is like you know, easily restockable.
And to answer your question from earlier, it would be a custom
item. So if you put that just mana
potion in there, we'll get to updating something for you.
Yeah, I just put mana potion, very little description on it.
Do you have haste or fly? It's obviously need them.
Rather, you're taking like. I do have fly.
Take 5 of each if possible. OK so how are we adding these
custom mana potions? Is it made and shared or do I
need to make a custom item? Hero grandiosely shared the the
actual stats, but I, I don't have anything in B&D beyond so
I'll, I'll, I'll work on something with him.
But just now, for now, put a custom one in there.
Just call it a man a potion until you need it.
And how many potions do we each get for you?
Said 5 That's what. 100 here, you take as many as you want.
Like we're we're going on a side mission away, probably away from
the the boat. So like, I'm carrying a couple
with me. Yeah, I was just trying to, I
was just going to keep track for what's going below deck.
So OK. Then I'll take 5.
OK of each. I don't think I have the spell
haste. I couldn't turn it.
Out right now. Since we did a short rest.
I have fly. If you take haste, we can, we
can cover each other with an upcast, assuming you want haste
and or fly. I mean, you're going to be flat,
you're going to be on my back. So you don't need either, but I
need at least one of each to be able to go in and out and drop
this bomb off in time. I also have I have haste in my
ring of spell storing, but I don't have but I like.
I can't concentrate on both obviously.
As you guys are talking you, you feel a sudden jolt to the to the
air and to your stance. Go ahead and roll me a Dexterity
saving throw. Attacking.
First there, buddy. 16. What was that left for KIRO?
Eight that that was an 8 for Dick save.
You're not prone currently. On the I'm currently strapped on
Rosson's back. Should I still?
Good question. And I've seen the 16 from Roro.
I think you're you're Roro, you're still standing.
So cat, you're OK? Wait, like.
You've got an easy release button too.
You, you nearly lose your footing, nimble way, you're,
you're standing on the deck and you kind of, you kind of take a
wider stance and buckle your knees as you feel the the
jostling. Next to make sure that if her
drink dripped on her dress. Well.
It's corked currently, I believe so OK.
It's not like an open glass. No, it was just poured down your
throat. Oh, I see.
OK. So I think Anita next to save
still from mime and no just mime.
There it is, 19. You're able to easily roll with
the rocking, and you realize what it is as soon as it's
happening to. When KIRO gets knocked prone,
you see that the holds on the bottom of a Dunez deck had
turned slightly and the everybody starts cheering very
loudly as you slide out of the bottom of the air dock and into
the sky and just you hear a dune in everybody's mind go.
I shut up and I run to a window. I'm going to flap my wings and
be like, oh, you're flying so excitedly.
You mean to the to the railing? Railing.
You guys are on deck. Yeah.
You see over the side as Aduna takes flight over the city, the
the whole vast expanse of Socrates and the encroaching
army of undead at the north region at the main gates or main
bridge. And you see probably too that
that army is held back, but there is a with your cat like
vision, a few black specks hovering above it, right?
Say that once more. There's a few like black specks
hovering above the undead horde. What's that?
I point them out. Don't know what those are, but
they're probably scouts. Do they look like they are
winged or are they? There's no detail that can be
seen. You guys are hundreds of feet
away, so it is unclear. They're they're humanoid in
nature. They don't seem to have massive
wings so it they aren't Dragons. To talk to the captain and run
over there, Admiral. We spotted some flying humanoids
hovering above the the hordes. I suggest that we go straight up
into the clouds to lose them and then drop down on the tower if
you know. Sure, I will point out we don't.
Know, I mean, we assume everything is associated with
the board is bad, so I suppose these would be bad.
Yeah, sure, let's avoid. I think Kiro's the the guy who
says the things on board the ship to the crew, right?
He's been playing as the first first mate, but Cat was the true
first mate. Recently.
That is all right. He can continue with this while
I am I guess, sidekick to Ross and at the moment.
That's. A good one.
While everybody's looking over there too, probably after you
pointed out Royal, you see one of the back blacks Becks fly
away to the north towards the lava tower.
I look at the captain. I think I should go get them.
They're about to warn them. OK, so we're going to warn the
tower, all right? I look at Cat, Put my goggles
on. Put my Do you need haste?
Haste, yes, if you want it as well, go for it.
And do you want fly? Yeah, I can catch both fly and
haste at the same time. I can't.
Well, no, they're concentrations.
I can. Give you.
Fly if you want it, but you're strapped to my back.
It'll just cost me a higher level spell.
Actually I can't, I only have Level 3.
What does that give me? Nothing.
So I can only touch myself. I can cast fly on you.
Well, I don't have haste, so if you cast Haste on me, I cast Fly
on me. Then we go get them.
All right, then I reach down and I cast Haste on you.
I cast fly on myself and then like leaning down like a
sprinter, I run to the red edge of the rail and I accelerate
extremely quickly to attempt to kill that person.
OK, how fast is extremely quickly again?
Was it like 1400 or something ridiculous?
So my regular if I use all of my movement, all of my actions,
everything and my once per like turn like double thing from a
tree line agility, I can get 1400 but it's 480 or 240 per
action. So how far away are they?
Because I will use the rest of my powers to kill them.
I'm trying to gauge. I'm going to look at the map.
You said hundreds, but. Yeah, I understand.
That's why I need to go look at the map.
I'm hoping for under 250 then I can wail on them.
I don't know about 202 fifty trying to some reason my
handouts weren't loading here we go.
Oh wait, I actually have it on one of these two that might make
it easy. Aha.
I do actually might just pop you guys over there too, so you can
see. So you guys kind of came out
from like this Tower week, if you can see that.
Thing. So yes, each one from the
animation. There's a big hole.
Is that the Is that the Canyon, The Cave, or the slot Canyon or
whatever? She really should see a doctor.
We'll say that this is like at A5 time scale.
That seems reasonable. So they're like a little over
600, almost almost 700 feet away.
And they're like on the outskirts of the army or they're
at the like, that's, that's the tower.
But we're like, where's the Army and like.
That's the army. So they that's where they are
when they start taking off towards the north.
So they might even be at this point because they seem to be
dashing 100 feet farther from that spot Even so.
So 800. Yeah.
All right, so then I will use my feline agility, doubling it so
that each use is 480, and I will use my regular action or my
regular movement and my bonus action to dash, and then I will
use my action and 2nd action to beat the fuck out of this guy.
Fuck. Him.
Up. It would definitely entail a
surprise surprise round. And I will, I will focus and as
I hit, I will use one charge of my of my gauntlets to increase
my base dexterity score by two D8 for this round two.
Jesus fuck me, that's great. Two for what?
Sorry. So the the knuckle dusters have
an ability where I can boost my deck score for one round using a
charge, but I rolled and got 2 so.
That's true. Something you know it's not 0.
It boosts Me 2 + 4 so that that's great I assault this
person. Go right ahead.
You see materialize quite quickly in front of you, almost
like in a blink of an eye a a very pale, well groomed, well
dressed individual. Great.
I smash into him. I'm getting advantage because I
have an ally within 5 feet of me and the target.
So I get, let's see, trying to remember if I get extra attack,
thieves can't invasion X blade. Yeah, thirsting blade, I get an
extra attack. OK, so 2 attacks at advantage, I
give myself advantage on that attack.
Even though you used your your action the dash.
Bonus action was dash because I have cunning action and then I
have a second action. 2 actions, one from Haste.
Got it, Got it. So first action is a double
attack 19 to hit for the first one at advantage.
Oh, that'll hit. And then the 26 to hit on the
second though I will see what my damage is first.
Yeah, the 26 obviously hits if the 19 did.
Oh God, that's such a stupid amount of damage.
Still you're. Welcome.
You're welcome. Every time I roll that I just I
just have to roll my eyes. It's excellent.
But so 45 total damage for the 1st and then 18 sneak attack.
So, well, totally total rolling 45 total. 60.
Right, 6045 trying to read the thing.
All right, I I write confusingly.
Lay my brain. No 'cause it's 9 piercing, 18
slashing plus 18 sneak attack. 445 total.
OK. For the first step, as I
immediately just sock him right in the face, I'm hoping to just
like clean take his hat off. Not quite.
You take a good, you take a good chunk off of him, probably like
an arm, and he's just like. You know it's going to take me
to grow that back. And then I whirl around him and
then use my other action to punch him twice again, this time
right in the back of the head 18. 18 and a 21 unless, well, if
the first one damages enough, I'm going for the other guy.
Oh, this guy's 100 feet away from the other guys.
I still have a lot of movement. OK, just clarifying.
So yeah, the first the the first one will hit.
So first damage. Oh wait no, I only rolled the
first damage for the first hit. So this is this is the damage
yet from the second attack of the first action.
God fuck. Jesus.
OK, what? Was the second damage then?
I'm waiting for it to roll through.
That was an appropriate response to it though.
God fuck, not a shock. So 27.
OK, so that takes. Another 27.
Yeah, it takes another hefty slash at him.
I'm guessing the the first claws definitely clawed all the way
through the his arm, but the second one might be across his
chest or something. He's like.
Chill out bro. I'll damage tizzy.
I mean, he's dripping a lot of blood.
I will use my next two attacks. Like I said, I will be on in a
moment. You also have your role as well,
Kat so. I didn't realize that goes in
the chat. No doing good 52 on this third
attack. Let's do it.
I'm I'm guessing you. That was from the earlier role
of 18 and 21. 21 OK. 50 what? No, sorry.
There's a lot of numbers. 52 Thank you.
He's still standing, but his.
124 total. You probably take off of the
other arm with that one I would say.
And then the fourth attack, and that'll be all of my things, it
was the attack role was a 21 and 30 for that one.
Just 10 over. So yeah, that takes him down.
Bless you. OK, I.
You take off his head or however you want to tell to me that you
killed this sucker. I think I'm doing like like
darting strikes where I fly in and out where I slash and then
fly up 10 feet and slash again and random different directions
as he's trying to get me to chill.
And then I just come up and I get him with all with my claws
up very Wolverine style into the skull where I know zombies need
to be hit or whatever the fuck these are.
Different and as as you, as you go through through the skull, he
just bursts in a cloud of bloody mist and then the mist seems to
just like float away. Wait.
I turn on my heel, look up at cat, point at the next guy and I
say your turn, and then I launch myself towards him.
I have. I see us approaching the next
guy and I'm going to take aim as we are heading towards it and
I'm just going to use fireball. 2 -, 800 yeah, I've got 160 feet
of movement speed. All right.
Well, you could save it because I can hit from 240 feet away.
Yeah, I just don't want I'm I'm what's going to happen is you're
going to go and then I'm, well, I guess I can't on my turn, I'll
fly. God, I don't want him to like
fly away. I'll fly partially, like closer
but not all the way and then let her fireball, sorry.
Just just so you don't have to ask me if it hits it every time
too. It's it's a 16 guys.
OK, well I threw a 17 so that definitely hits him.
Yep. Fireball Save.
No, that one's. A and it does.
A throne 1 Fire fire. Bolt.
Yeah, a little bit more direct. I did a total of 30 damage.
With a fireball. Damn.
Yeah, and any flammable object will ignite.
He's just. Like Oh no wait if it's being
warned or carried, sorry. So I I guess he could ignite.
So it doesn't work if it's warned or carried you mean?
Yeah. Oh, OK, so he's not batting
himself out. That's what I was going to say.
He was doing or trying to. OK.
Is the guy freaking out? Is he looking towards us at all?
Yeah, the the other two guys are looking toward, we're watching
the full exchange of that last encounter there as you're, you
know, tore apart their companion who is headed back obviously
towards the lava tower to the north.
And those two just look at each other.
I'm guessing that was the first round of your guys's surprise
attack. So now we need to roll
initiatives. Initiative 19 for KIRO. 60,000
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Combat started. Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom BOM
bom bom bom. Oh, I didn't figure those that
were on the boat were in combat quite yet either too, because
you guys are like 2-3 rounds away at full sprinting from the
dune A at 200 feet. So yeah.
But she's floating quite majestically above the the city.
Unless you have. Something fantastic.
OK, so. Mima is still going to yell like
battle positions and tell everybody to get ready, OK, Even
though we're not really initiative yet and everybody has
free movement. Be like it's it has begun right
and take take up position like right at the very front of the
bow give away. We'll, and slowly, with purpose,
walk down to the hell and take up a position at one of the
guns. When that first guy died, was
there any visible reaction from any of the zombies below?
It did not seem like no, they're still holding their position.
You guys do get to go first in this.
It looks like 2. So cat and rural.
Fuck yeah. Because I I didn't see your
initiative cat, but I'm assuming your thought process was along
the same as mine. That rural rolled to 16 and
you're on top of rural so. Makes sense to just keep them
together. Yep.
Yeah, I figured we would just go like one right after the other.
Yep. OK, then do you want to go first
cat? Since you're more arranged, I
don't want to put you at disadvantage.
Sure. So the guy that I hit that was,
like you said, a hundred, 150 feet away from us, he's still
there, not on fire. No, he you guys are floating
above the zombies, so there wasn't really anything to catch
other than his clothes. And then you told me his clothes
wouldn't be catching on fire if I understood you correctly.
Yeah. It would just be things around
him that would catch on fire. Was there a a splash range for
that too or something? I didn't think there was really,
unless it was. No for fireball.
Inside of the five foot range, these guys are probably 5 foot
apart so. Yeah, nothing really for
fireball like that. I can do something that does
more well. How did the Rangers start out
Damage? Yeah, how far away the two from
each other? About 5.
Feet better left 5 feet. Yeah, do do something.
I hit both of them. We're like, do dispel magic on
them so they fall. You know what?
I don't even think I have that here.
I don't. I was thinking of doing like a
fire bolt or a Thunderbolt. I mean, you do you, Boo Boo.
I don't know what Thunderbolt does.
Oh well, I traded Thunderbolt out so never mind.
So we could go with classic Fireball.
Yeah, did it look like the the last guy took any more damage
because it was fire? Not particularly.
Damn. Yeah, Fireball has a range of
150 feet. Are are we within that range?
Did you say 150 feet? Yeah. 150 feet.
You guys are in 100 feet of the of them, is what I'd said.
OK, yeah. So I'm going to cast Fireball.
I'm just going to spread my wings and let out a little cock,
a doodle Doo and fire is going to erupt from my beak, a bright
streaking flame that I'm going to throw right at that main guy
I hit originally and then it's going to hit in a 20 foot.
Radius, yeah, you guys are up in the air easily, like 50 feet, so
doesn't really hit anything else, but definitely hits both
of those guys. Yeah, doing a 35 damage and they
have to make a Dexterity savings throw be a DEX of 19.
So the one guy needs to make a deck save, right?
Because you cast it on the other guy or or do they both have to
and then it's OK? OK.
Thank you. Each creature in the 20 foot
radius. Fair enough, deck save.
Wow, they got some high decks at least, but there was a 2 and a
three for 12:00 and 11:00. Yeah, so they do not beat it.
So they take 35 fire damage. The first guy definitely is
caught unaware because he's still like trying to wipe his
eyes from the first blast. And then the second guy just
sees it's coming, sees you. Honestly, I actually kind of
amaze imagined you Kamehameha hang the fireball like with your
beak. Like like.
You're just opening my beak and it just appears and fires out.
Yeah, it's pretty much like that.
But as it as it flies across and strikes the first guy, the
second guy, he he he just like backflips through the air away
like he's got legendary, he's got legendary resistance.
But I was. I was letting the one through.
Hot damn, these are some big boys.
And anything on the ground around them would ignite into
flames in that 20 foot radius. That's right in the air.
Yeah, you guys are like 50 feet up in the air.
So the the fire rains down, but it starts to Peter out before it
gets to the ground. But it kind of looks like a a a
pretty firestorm as it comes down towards the ground,
probably on top of some zombies, but nothing seems to really
ignite. It's a little too wet down
there, too little gushy. Gushy.
And a little too more. I guess I forget you have the
the the decanter. I should use that OK.
Sorry, but I'll shut. Up.
I didn't forget about the cancer.
That was your action. I don't know if you have a bonus
action or anything you want to add before passing the turn to
Roro I. Think I have any good bonus
actions while in the air like? This.
Because I am mostly raged spell attacks.
Right. Nope, I have no bonus action I
can do from the air so I will pass my turn along.
It's tis your turn, Raul, and later we'll speak about action
economy to do that. Just kidding me, Cat, so she can
get some bonus actions up in there.
Oh yeah for sure she needs like AI don't even know.
Yeah, there's not a lot. Of I mean I'm a warcaster, so
upon my reaction instead of just making a melee attack, I can
make any spell attack that I have as a reaction that's.
Nice, I will see these two can't hear.
I want to see if I can get two at once.
Oh, he backflipped away like 10 feet more so he's like 15 feet
from the other guy who is on fire, probably with the
fireball. All right, I will run up, not
run up. I'll run in the air 30 or 15
feet away, get them in the line, and then pull out the decanter
and use my hasted action to turn it on.
Turn OK, get them in line with the decanter to turn it on.
Yeah. Like since I fly and we're not
up to them yet, I have 480 bass movement or 240 or something
like that. Yeah.
So I'm going to move myself to get them in a line.
I see. I see.
And then I will pull out the decanter with a free action,
unstopper it with my hasted action, and produce a geyser of
30 gallons of the holy water that gush forth.
Who are? You and.
The guy that's closer to you, I would say is probably the one
that cat has been striking now, but I don't know how how you're
how you're aligning them if he's in front or if the other, if
you're trying to get behind the other guy because you have a lot
of movement obviously. And they're, yeah, I mean, I
mean, I don't know how you want the mechanics of it to work
because it says you could produce a geyser.
The target must succeed a strength savings throw.
I don't know if you will allow me to hit both of them if I fly
circles. Around them.
I'm I'm asking which one you're trying to get in line.
I guess the one that we're targeting.
OK. Then like he's not physically on
fire anymore. I don't think so.
Yeah. But so you once you hit him, he
would fly back towards the other guy depending upon his strength
was it? Yeah, it is a strength saving
throw, DC13. He got a 10 so he flies
backwards towards the other guy 15 feet which would slam him
into him. I don't know what damage you
want to do for. Looking at that, it says.
I assume it would be the same as.
Go ahead, Sorry. It says 1D4.
Yeah, but this is holy water on and undead.
A right, right, right. So if we use the rules that
Franklin lives by, I can pull up his book.
Yeah, I would see how much holy water does to him. 2D6 radiant
it looks like, at least from what I'm finding, Franklin
himself might be a little bit different because his whole
thing. Holy water melts your bones
dealing damage 66 per one gallon ratio, but this is a different
situation. Yeah, you're, you're rather
unique, we'll say so Yeah, 2DS 2D6, we'll say on top of the one
D4. Sweet 2D6 radiant damage.
So are they vulnerable? I think I thought so.
I was reading through it doesn't say specifically up there.
It means Google D and D5 E holy water.
Yeah, they just have they, they just.
Have. Yeah, just as the for.
For damage vampires, which is what they are, they are just
harmed by running water, period. What is their damage resist?
Or is this does radiant damage? So are they?
Oh. No, no, 21, they don't have any
like resistance or weakness specifically for radiant damage.
Their their risk resist or their weaknesses are are very odd
because they have they can't enter a residence, you know,
without being asked in and if they're in running water like
which I think this might. Do you want running water?
The Geyser. Yeah, even though it's holy
water, but it says if it ends, it's turn in the running water.
No, I continue spraying it. I could.
Die. I don't think it.
I don't think it works like that.
I don't, I don't know. I think it would be like let.
Me, look at the Let me look at the producers produces a geyser.
Yeah, 30 gallons. Speed.
OK, so wait. OK, and then can I use?
The the water stops pouring out on your next turn.
So I guess technically during your turn and up to their turn
and to your next turn, it keeps going.
It's how it works. Oh yeah.
OK, I don't know what that means, but sure.
For one round it it stays active.
Yeah, so if I keep spraying them until their round or their turn
ends, they go quit. If they stay in the water, but
yeah, then they would take take that damage.
That's extra 20. Yeah, all right.
I run up to them and then I use my action to punch them twice.
Oh, after a flies away. So what was the you want to roll
the D4 and the 2D sixes? I thought I did.
Oh oh, I see it 5. 6-7, OK, not much, but that's all right.
All right, Then I run up at advantage because I have an ally
within 5 feet. 28 to hit and 27 hit.
Yeah. Those will do rolling.
Twice all. Right.
So 456779 points of damage. Yeah, that'll take out the first
guy. Swam.
You lop off his head and he turn turns into a a red mist in front
of the other guy who's just faces like the fuck?
You're next, bud. Is that your turn bonus action
movement? You're in front of him.
Yeah, bonus action movement. I'm in front of him.
I don't want him flying away. OK, it is his turn, which he
first looks at you. OK, yeah, he's going to do both
of those. OK, so he first looks at you and
is like the fuck? You're part of the fucking run
rollers. Chill out bro.
Like, and then his eyes get a little dreamy.
Like come on, we can just go back and talk to the PNCDC.
Wisdom saving throws of 17. Wisdom Save.
Is it for both of our? It's one target, so he's he's
obviously targeting the person that just obliterated the person
in front of him. I will use one of my counter
spells in my ring of spell storing.
OK. No, fuck you.
I don't know if I have to roll higher, but I don't know what
level your thing is. Yeah.
Oh, Gee, that is, it's been reworded, hasn't it?
I don't know if you're using five year 5.5.
Well it only really shows the 5.5 now I think if you click on
counter spell. Yeah.
I don't have. I can't load it into like the
ring 'cause it's just an item. Silly.
Yeah, that's I can. I'm looking it up.
Yeah, if I can spell. You want 5.5 or five?
How do you spell? Oh, it's 11.
Word. There it is.
Interruptus Mitch Pritchard must make the Constitution saving
through. I think it would be against your
DC, like your spell safe DC. 17. All right Constitution.
Constitution 10.
Great. So that.
Goes off. And he sees that, that his words
aren't working and he, he, he just like, raises his hands up
in the air and a swarm of bats form in front of him and in
front of you. You like separating you guys?
No, I got to rule stuff. So I hope he moves.
Away. 4 swarms of bats in front of you, like in between you two
guys. So it's breaking the combat.
Yeah, yeah, like breaking the line of sight and and visual
like he like he's behind these swarms of bats, OK.
And Oh, no, that's silly. That's not what I thought was
happening. Well, that's what I'm just going
to go with that the piece remain for an hour.
OK. So yeah, he does.
He does that and you can't see what's happening behind the
bats. If he moves away, does that
still trigger opportunity or no? You hear him trying to do so.
If you want to try and take an opportunity, actually you can't
because you used your reaction already.
I did, yeah, but Cat can and she's within 5 feet as well.
Do you have or within 5 feet of that guy?
We are yes. We're now meleeing him and he is
trying to GTGTFO. You said the bats are obscuring
our vision. Yeah, you'd probably roll it
like disadvantage or something. Yep.
Because I was thinking about casting a whole person on him so
he couldn't get away. He won't be able to fly far.
Is there another problem looking at because I'm just saying the
math, the map of Socrates? No.
Oh, I don't have a battle map for this.
It's happening in the air. OK.
Like over here and you guys, you guys are still over here because
of the flight speed overall at the end of the turn, you would
be like, what did I say? 5 So what's what's?
She can do 200 times 2400 she they can get there in 2 rounds
at the end of Round 2. Yeah.
So you guys are about would be getting about to like here at
Ish by the first round, which you would be able to see better
as after this guy's done with his attack.
But this this is all transpiring like 800 feet away from you
guys. So anyways, just to quickly wrap
that up. So are you taking a reaction
there Kat through the bats, Assuming he's GTFO.
ING Yeah, I'm trying to think of how to deal with all of the bats
in one move if I can 'cause I was going to catch all the
person, but he can't get away that quickly.
So I was like, what about Thunderous Step?
Would that blow the bats away? And it doesn't look like it
will. I don't think that would also
hurt me. You know, 'cause I could
teleport you with me. That's pretty nice.
Yeah, so we can teleport ourselves.
That as a as a reaction, warm. Age, yeah, you'd want to go to
your, your reactions. That's what we're talking about
right now. Yeah, I can use my reaction to
make an opportunity attack to cast a spell that has a casting
time of 1 action. Imputeous.
So that's. Pretty much any of my spells,
yes. And also if I use thunderous
step, I can teleport you with me and then a Thunder clap of sound
will come from the space we were and I can teleport us.
That's loud though. Yeah, it'll send up us a
thunderous clap that can be heard up to 300 feet away.
So if we don't want to make that much noise, I will look.
We probably want to stay quiet on our stealth mission.
Do you have like an AOE cantrip or something around you or I
mean, don't worry about sliding down, I can catch up.
OK my only like fighting cantrips is elder's blast, fire
bolt and you maybe control flames.
Elder's Blast Highest damaged cantrip.
It's actually my lowest imaging can't trip because it's
something I got to learn as one of my.
Feets. What level are you?
How many blocks does it get though?
I am. Pretty fucking high.
Wait is this right? I just looked up and it says I'm
level 20. That's not what level I'm
supposed to be. Nope.
You probably did it for your for
the one shot or for the eurythmic.
Oh my goodness, how long have I been playing at like this?
Well, you haven't used a wish spell, so it's all good.
I have not, and I've been sticking with my pretty low
level spells. I could go with Chromatic Orb.
And if we want to keep it quiet, I guess I could go with acid and
just throw a ball of acid at all these bats all.
Right. I'll do that 17.
Yeah, that'll hit. Oh a whole 8 damage of acid to
the to this like swarm of bats. Let me see I was trying to just
trying to oh man, they changed the way this looks too 8.
I would say that that's like most of one swarm.
So there's still three other swarms up there, which is.
Our. Is approximate.
Does it ever give me? It doesn't give me an
approximate amount of how many is in there.
I think it's something like 10 though.
Is normally like a the swarm size.
Swarm Swarm. Swarm So are we about to be
swarmed by these bats? Probably for sure.
They're they're. Yeah, they were.
They're appearing and going to be flying towards you.
OK, OK. I see how that would work.
So there is still, there's still 4 total.
There's one that's mostly gone though, so we'll take one of
there's a way. Did that come through?
Oh boy, I think that's a 21 to hit.
Yeah, both of you. 2 for one. Oh my, no.
With like 3-3 piercing because they're just biting.
They can buy. That was the first one.
I guess that's how that would work.
Yeah, one. I don't want to get the rabies.
Avoid that. It looks like the first swarm or
that that that middle swarm only like one of them flew by and
missed, but the other two swarms, a 21 and a 16 again, the
21 I know for sure hat hit with 5 piercing and wait, what is
this going on here? OK, yeah, 5 piercing and then
yes. So for a total of 9. 12. 16
misses. Yeah.
Oh, 16 misses, I thought you for cat.
What for cat? Yeah.
Cats only got an armored class of 12.
Yeah. So the six, only one of these
Mitch misses, which was the six for UCAT, which is total.
Yeah, you can. You can see it there.
I could try to do the math. 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 214 damage. 14.
And so it sounds like Raleigh, you only took the 5678 damage
and then it would be top of the turn, which would be yourself a
Dune A is now halfway point to you guys you can see coming
towards your direction. Need some range.
Which would put her at around 400 feet ish away, not quite in
the range of the the cannons I believe.
Is she using her action to dash? I'm just checking the cannon
stuff, but go ahead with your turn cat.
Can I use Farstep to teleport myself and Rosen out of the way
or does it only work on me? Does it say that you can?
I don't know. Oh, is it that?
One, it's my spell scroll, the first scroll he ever got and and
let's it says you teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space.
I think that would just be you, yeah.
Yeah, can you fly? I can fly.
Should I cat fly on you or are we on the ground?
Well, I have, I have fly on there.
OK, I'm just thinking if. You teleport yourself right
behind him and they go. Just scare.
I mean, you'd use your whole action to do that, but.
Does look like the cannons could take aim so just saying.
OK, so I will use Farstep to teleport myself behind the you
said it was a vampire. And then I'm going to jump up
and just latch all of my talent onto his hair, on his scalp and
just hold on from here. When you say you farstep to the
other side of the bat, I'm guessing yeah.
OK, so when you get there he is like 30 feet away from the spot
you thought he was. Yeah, I'm just going to kick off
really loudly. You.
Have movement speed, don't you? You can fly.
I do have movement speed, I'm just going to take off and a
leap and start just flapping my wings after him.
You should be able to reach him in time I guess and then then
you're attacking. Yeah 'cause I do have like 2
weapon fighting so I can literally just do a melee attack
on his and I'm aiming for the scalp or the face.
I figured the scalp so I could get a hold of his hair.
OK, 'cause you freak out when there's a chicken attached to
your scalp. It's true chili.
Yeah, so I'm gonna make a leaping fly for him and grab
onto his scalp and just start breaking at his head.
Oh, Natural 20. Oh, be to you, Is that a for a
total of 4 damage? Yes, a total of 4 damage.
And I am going to do my best to just hold on to his hair and not
let go while pecking and scratching at him.
He's. Just like that.
Fucking Jesus Christ the chicken fuck.
Nobody expects the chicken to be that aggressive.
It would be your turn rural if if that was your turn Kat and I
would give it to Nim away if you are at willing to take shots
potshots. This is the I'm sent in general
the stats I'm using for a Canon. How?
Much risk is it of hitting an ally?
At at 400 feet and with your particular background, it's like
a, it's like a 20 to 30% risk. And is most of the damage from
the water the holy holy damage or is there also like force
damage? Oh, there's definitely
bludgeoning damage for sure with these cannons.
You would assume because Ferris was talking about how he amped
up the pressure. With the bats, are the bats
close to allies? At.
Close to rural at this point, I believe.
No, no, yeah. 20 to 30% chance in ally Let me look at the stats
see how much damage does it's in general you.
Otherwise, did we end up getting an item for chatting?
Because I think the Admiral had originally requested something
like that. But you have your cards.
I know which kind of work like sending stones but also.
I have a torque. You were the only one that
doesn't have a torque, so everybody else does.
Chicken does, Yep. I have a torque, yeah.
And there's only the one vampire.
Left. Yeah, the one that I am attached
to. Oh, oh, if the chicken, yeah, if
the chicken is currently on the vampire, there's no way, no way
shooting that cannon. But if the if you did splash
damage like aimed around it and got the water to splash up onto
the vampire it would still the still do radiant damage right?
But not. Forestated.
Remember, the bats and the vampire are now 30 feet away
from each other. But the bats are near rural.
They are, yeah. But if I saw, if you, if you
messaged me, I could like jump out of the way on my turn if you
rated an action. But I don't know how much
communication we're allowed in these seconds.
Yeah. Or Josh, are we allowed to do
that? I I missed that.
Sorry, what? If I read, if I like, hold my
action, Oh yeah, to communicate to rural, to tell him to jump
out of the way so I can shoot the bats.
Yep. Will you bet?
I don't know how you're communicating it with RARL
specifically, just because RARL it doesn't have the torque
either, right? Although you, I mean
theoretically, talk to a dune, tell a dune to relay the
message, and a dune would tell him.
OK, yeah, let's do that and I'll hold my action for after I can
communicate that. OK.
So rarl. I.
Get told that by Adune. Yep.
Oh, OK, I maneuver around these bats, staying within their range
but trying to get to their side instead.
OK. Actually, I'll go like up to the
like around the side so that I can get a bead on where those
vampire is. Probably having your hands over
your head and just kind of flying forward.
I would assumed enough so that you would get a view through the
cluster of bats. Yeah, and get out of the way for
for our allies on the ship. Oh, so you are moving out of
range from them? Yeah, I will.
OK. I'll take the, I'll take the
opportunities. I think, I said.
Well, we have to finish this and then call it.
Yep, that's what I was trying to do 12229 or 15.
Think the only 22 is the only thing that hits.
Yep, 22. Seven damage.
Fuck. I give the all clear sign
signal. OK.
What do I roll for these stats? I haven't an item.
I should probably do that at some point, but you're going to
want to roll your ranged weapon attack.
So it's going to be based upon your abilities to aim right.
The best way that I could suggest to do that is put like
just like AI don't know like a bow or or the like in your
inventory. Would she have proficiency?
I don't think so, no, because unless you've had proficiency
that I don't know of training with cannons in the past.
The. Only.
Range. Yeah, go.
Ahead. The only ranged weapon I have
are my spores. I meant like just for your
inventory and for your sake for rolling purposes because it'll
it'll populate based upon your other stats, your dexterity
specifically usually which you could honestly roll some
dexterities, but. Wouldn't it just be 1D20 plus
her dex at this point if she's not efficient?
Exactly so plus your plus 3 looks like.
Let's see. And this is to hit.
Yeah, and then how do I add a + 3 before I roll it?
Just roll it and add 3. Yeah, that that second option.
OK. So 1417.
That'll hit. The bats.
Uh huh. Sweet.
OK, and then let's see the damage 8010.
How do I oh. Yeah, yeah, you can just keep
clicking. OK, OK, let's go.
Well you get out of the way just in time as you see it fly
through the air and these bats are just obliterated.
Fuck in a stream of a jet of water, honestly.
Nimaway's only reaction is just like A1 little side of her smile
turns up. You noticed the smallest portion
of movement from on Aduna's deck too from the firing, Like maybe
5 feet back. But what's 5 feet?
Two 200 feet of movement. Yeah, Dave.
And then give a double thumbs up in the air.
And then I will use the rest of my movement to bolt towards the
last vampire. Get to him.
Yeah, they didn't stop his, like, movement trying to get
away from us. Is he just standing there
flailing now? Yeah, yeah.
I mean he used all of his movement on his turn for sure.
I get there and I get the cat and I say, actually I reach out
to Dune to everyone to tell everyone, should we capture this
guy? Do we need to ask him questions
or just kill him and keep going? And the dune relays the message.
Do you really need any more information?
No. I execute all right I.
I heard do so all right. You heard what?
I heard make him cute not execute.
But that's it. I'll take 3 knuckle duster
attacks with the damage. Smack this dude down to the
ground. Get out of the rain. 16 will
hit. 21 is the 1st, 18 for the second.
Yep. 25 for the third. Oh yeah, all day long.
Dink damage One Dink Damage 2 Dink damage 3.
Let's see what our numbers are 46, so 99145.
Bingo. Yeah.
No. What was it, 45?
It didn't. Get 145. 1:45 Oh yeah, that's
bingo. My I dash forward and I plunge
my hand into his chest cavity and I pull out his undead
unbeating heart. And.
I hold it in the air and I say Kalima, Kalima.
And he's, he's, he's alive for a split second as you do that.
And he, just like I, thought we were the monsters and then poofs
into red smoke. Once I don't have anything to
hold on to, I'm just going to flutter in the air for a second
before making my way to Ross's shoulder.
Yep, once there I will stand the area for anyone hidden who was
watching while we wait for the others.
As Dune pulls up a side of you, you see, especially from your
position, not moving now waiting, the undead horde slowly
start to turn and face north and start marching boards where the
the like almost aimlessly like but not but not dispersing.
They're they're seem to be drawn almost.
It's still hard. To in a northerly direction,
Yep. And that's away from the city
though, right? If we're looking at this map,
Yep. The Tower.
Yep, good job guys. Yay.
Step one accomplished of our multi step program to kill a
bunch of zombies. So it was just the two vampires
controlling them. Three but yeah, 322 were left
behind to manage it, but one was, but three were on on duty.
Oh well, wait, so we now recognize that these hordes are
now like, turned away. From the city.
Is this where we message the city and Shandar to prep to
start wiping them out? Or do we let them just wander
away from the city? To be determined next time as
the sun is setting on the on the combat I just I figured that's a
good spot yeah before. Rain starts going down.
Yeah. But yeah, that's that's a good
session. So the the the zombies are
walking away, but keep that in your hat.
We will. Oh boy feet.
We finished session and. That was crazy.
That was crazy too. And just as we did, I just
finished my paper. Oh.
Nice. Hey.
Good timing. I can get a beer.
If my job allowed it, unfortunately not so much.
You can't now. You cannot get a beer, I say
with quotation marks, Josh. At some point, I'd love to see
how much of these maps are found assets versus how much you need
to like how much is your time and effort to assemble them.
I don't know. Like if I'm able to make it to
the the meet up this year. If you have like work files on
your computer, I'd love to see like the before and after.
Oh yeah, I don't have AI mean a before would be a blank slate,
especially in this one's case. But I have The Afters and you
can see all the layers and everything.
I use some. Yeah, I use something called
Incarnate, which does have a lot of like the little, like the the
little. Garnish.
Great. And this one's yeah.
Like I'm guessing the trees were found assets that you copy and
pasted around. Right.
And some of the the the like grass and everything that's all
brushwork as as well as the like the water and such.
But and the walls are, are assets that I like able to to
place. But I, I placed everything there
myself from to. Like the wall as I'm guessing
like a a few tiles and you're able to like every little square
for the ramparts I'm guessing is 1 unit.
The not quite they these walls in particular are like a, a, a
full thing. But yeah, I, I went through you.
I can show you at some point. OK.
It's a pretty yeah. It's late tonight, but.
It's a pretty cool tool if if you haven't used it, I'm not as
no as like as like Jesse who can do stuff like that on Photoshop.
Yeah, I've been using Photoshop a long time now I'm.
Just not going. To ask what I want to fully know
how much work you put into these maps?
And appreciate it. So it's a, it's a good bit, very
cool. Thanks, Josh.
Gladly, I enjoy it. It's one of those things you do
like whenever you get a spare moment, instead of like picking
up an app or reading the news, I I start making a map.
It's quite relaxing. Yeah, the worst thing I ever did
was get a smartphone. I hate it.
Right. It's so distracting.
Oh my goodness. Yeah.
I've been trying to reach for something else when I find
myself reaching for it. All right guys, it was a good
game. I am going to hop off here for
the night. Good night.
Gigi's guys, good night. Bye.
