Hello fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on Metagaming by Rum Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the campaign.
Manny Polos. You and Jericho.
All praise Craig Fucking. Craig, the blood has been
delivered. Phase one is complete.
Phase. 2IN operation. The Hand of Fate topples.
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 upon upon shores
throughout the Infinite sea, fading to myths until myths are
forgotten and the campaign that gave it birth comes again and
again. The Hand of Fate tosses the dice
rolls, spins, turns. Hitherto we left the adventurers
known as the Shadow Seekers on the 4th level of Hell Greed
after the fifth level seal to many many polos's prison.
The mirror was vanquished in the phallic maze in the center of
the Acropolis in the dinking womp of that fifth level of
hell. The sadder Seekers then fell
before the greedy Goblin Tavern in the sweltering heat
assaulted, assaulting them from the molten magma that filled the
floor of the enormous goblin settlement.
Reluctantly, they paid an entrance fee to the Tavern to
quench their thirst on Green Goblin slushies.
Ash bargains with Bildreth Bill she later is more readily
acquainted with after a kiss and some feelings that led her led
to her being 50% share owner of the Greedy Goblin.
He also explains the Church of Kaishen is the only other free
time activity besides their works and labours.
More drinking ensued with a successful deal, whereupon
Stephen the bartender told them they had been victims of greed
already. From the door goblins, Franklin
and Phelan drunkenly threatened the guards for Ash's gems back
that she'd paid for entrance. Bill then lets Ash know too they
are welcome to stay in one of their rooms at the Greedy Goblin
and she can drink for free. The Shadow Seekers wake with a
pounding in their heads and after after their rest and a
resonating throughout the pocket rocket that they were sleeping
in of a Ting Ting Ting sitting with two new goblin skeletons.
Franklin has them driven by a young dire crickets inside their
skulls, making them breakfast in the pocket rocket.
No one stops to ask where they came from, and blessedly the
ping ping ping had stopped as well as the pounding in their
head with the calf that was delivered by the goblin
skeletons. Refreshed from breakfast, they
head out on a head out onto the ramshackle goblin town,
straddling the magma in the pit. The the town continues its
unrelenting heat and Ash is still being still.
Realizing that she's become rich from long ago that she'd
forgotten about to go on a shopping spree, They as as the
trigger bomber for the group, stopping at several shops, the
street vendors, and now an Armory shop with a large list.
Let's find out what happens this time.
That's right, the list. Yeah, yeah.
So you guys found yourself last in a shop where a goblin greeted
you as you walked in with a mirrored looking book shape size
thing that he was tapping away at.
And you would ask for a bunch of items.
And after tapping away at it, he looks down at you, looks back at
the screen and looks back up at presumably as she was fronting
the deal currently, and goes. Well, after our commissions and
such, I think we're. Going to have to.
To make what your your your price be at is 100.
And. 100 and 5050K gold that is. For the whole list that we
shared. By the way, where is that list?
I thought that was in the thingy MO Bobs chat.
For the most part, it's in the theme of Bob's chat.
Oh wait, I see him. But they're kind of strewn
about. I can go down through it right
now, but the at least if I'm understanding this.
This list correctly. We've got a belt of giant, giant
strength hill king of ring of teething.
Sorry, my handwriting's a little bad, I was going fast.
Ring of understanding, Green bloodstone, High Roller, mantle
up Chuck's wedge, Rhinos hides, Burning protector axe, the blood
axe, Circle of wisdom. Prisma +2 Wisdom +2 Yeah
Dragon's teeth, daggers with belt, returning Ring of mind
shield, Lawbreaker, leather jackets, Necro rifle or necro.
Rifle. It was, yeah.
Anti matter, but I think that's. Close enough to the Necro a a
Sentinel shield staff staff of warming insects.
Double thumbs up. And I think that I think that
was it. Oh yeah, there was dynamite.
I haven't calculated that into the price yet because I'm not
sure exactly how much you want. And that would like that, that
would be like, you know, oh, another we've we've got like
89,000 sticks of it ish. And.
That would be like. That would be like 890, 1000
gold. So.
That's a lot of money, you know. That many sticks.
Of doubt that's amazing I wish we I.
There are many towns, what can I say?
Yeah. Do you guys ever have like big
festivals? Oh, certainly we we usually can.
Harvest wag on my eyebrows. Can harvest coming up?
We've got the not long from here, we've got the wealth
festival. Oh, a wealth festival coming
right up. Wow, that's great.
You know, we're going to have to discuss this, this last part.
So we'll do this this purchase of dynamite and stuff another
time. But don't worry, let's just
focus right now on these items. We have no idea how much money
we have or Ash has, but she also just stopped existing.
OK, no, I. Stopped existing a few minutes
ago. Ashy.
Oh wait, Ash is here. Yeah, Oh my God.
I made it. I'm sorry.
I just need to clean up dinner. It took me a minute.
Oh, no worries, no worries. Yeah.
Hold on, let me get into my bag. I.
Look up to you. We have no idea how much money
we have, so like you have to set the limit.
Well, like, well, like I said that that list that I just ran
off there and unless I'm missing something, please, please let me
know. It was 150 Ki.
Was going to say I didn't know if we wanted everything on that
list. I know that we that it was
initially shared for people to figure out if that's what they
wanted. I know that the main thing that
Ash wanted was the Dragon's teeth belt.
Well, hold on, why don't we determine how much money you
actually have? We can do that.
Or we just start mixing stuff off, right?
Maybe we maybe this is like wildly within our beads.
I mean, it could be. OK.
Let me go back to my inventory. Think I heard Regina.
I noticed that my ring of teething was not accounted for.
Am I able to add this on? The ring of Teething was on
there. He read it off once, real quick.
Oh yes. Did I miss Oops?
And the gun. And the gun it was.
I heard the discourse about the gun.
Gotcha. OK.
Necro Gun I just imagine you as like a character from what's
that anime that had like death and death children.
God. Soul Eater.
Soul Eater? Yes.
OK, so Ash currently has 142 platinum, 72190 gold, and 344
silver and 296 copper, and that's not including all of the
gems that she has 'cause she has 36 amethysts.
Yeah, 36 amethysts amethysts. She has one black Opal, one
black Pearl, one black sapphire, one bloodstone, and then she has
52 blue sapphires, one Eye of Agate, 4 emeralds, 1 garnet, 1
jade, 1 Jasper, 2 lapis lazuli, 3 pearls.
Jesus, she's rich fucking loaded. 53 rubies, but they said
the rubies aren't worth that much here.
All right, so can we. Music montage.
A jeweler. We did go to the jeweler and we
wiped him out of all of his coins, which is the reason that
she has 7200 gold pieces right now.
Right, but did we appraise the rest of them?
I. Think we did.
I did. I write.
This down where I forgot about that part exactly, but I think
you're I think you had like one big, one medium and one small
appraised basically of the bunch.
Yeah, I did. You kind of give.
A range and then you had like so many of them that he could
exchange because that's all the gold they had on hand basically.
This dude probably will take Gem's Tale, especially if we do
a big order. Big order.
Hold on, give me just a second. I can't find my notebook with my
notes. Oh yeah, me, me either.
That's. Because you don't have one.
No idea where that one at. I do fine.
Sure. I don't know names.
That's fine. I know where we're going, and
that's power. I understand power.
The Climb. Oh yeah, I also have since we
levelled since the Arrhythmic. I don't know if you guys have,
but I have decided to head down the path of a Vengeance Paladin
while we are. Reminding Rick Slash Ezra you
you should know that for the most part you can level pretty
much at any time based upon the Excel spreadsheet.
So currently for the yeah, last I saw it was supposed.
To be two, yeah, I must say I was supposed to be level 2.
Perfect. Yeah, 'cause it's, it's not,
it's not necessarily well kept to be every time you guys long
rest just because depending upon how the timing of everything
works, you you won't get a long rest.
I I did add a note that Ezra adopts Regina in in my in my
things I accomplished. I put 50XP with it.
Hey if you guys want I can do the ceremony spell for you.
For the adoption. Yeah, it'll give you like a
benefit for like a week. That that means Regina's got to
kill me afterwards. And no, I haven't taken any path
yet. There's atonement, blessed
water, coming of age dedication, funeral rite, investiture and
wedding slash union, which I think we could just re flavor
that as adoption. Yeah, and it's you touch one
adult humanoid willing to be bound together.
The next seven days, each target gets a + 2 to AC, where they are
within 30 feet of each other. A character can benefit from
this, right? Only once or only again if one
of them dies. I need an adult.
So if you guys want to make it official, I'm going to
officiate. What are we officiating?
Regina's adoption. Oh, OK.
Hey Dad, will you accept me in this union?
Yes, I will. Why are you wearing a white
dress? I'm just black.
Official. All right.
Is this what we're doing or are we looking into it?
I mean, we're waiting for for just, yeah, the ash to find her
math. So we're just filling in time.
Yeah, I have Blue. Sapphire 3 inches is 300 gold so
it's 100 gold per inch and then I have green bloodstone as 500
gold and then diamonds I just has equals money.
Don't have enough. I would.
Like one money please. Oh goodness.
And then it says Rubies. Rubies tiny is 5 gold.
Soccer ball size is 500 gold. OK, do we know how much of
everything you have to do the algebra?
So if we were just to base it off of the blue sapphires I
have, because how many do I have right now?
52? Do you want me to roll to see
how many inches they have on average or?
Roll for inches. Can I roll for inch?
How's the? How?
That works. Yeah, I was gonna say I could do
that. Just give me a second.
What was it, 32, you say? I have 5220304052 Yeah 'cause
they have them in stacks of 10. Do you want like a like a
eventual amount of inches as the total of inches?
Is that acceptable of an understanding?
Yeah, because I was trying to figure out how many inches I
have in total of sapphire. How many inches do I have in
this blue shiny rock? It's not just about the inches,
it's also about the girth. Should we met?
Him this way, we're children. Only full grown.
Adults. Here and some of us play
children. Yeah.
Child. Yes, we play Child's.
Child. 'S hello I am child.
I'm just doing some math here, apologies.
You're fine, all right. I'll pronounce you father and
daughter. You may didn't hug.
The child. You.
May hug. Typically.
I'm just imagining Franklin, like, shaking his finger
platonically. No funny stuff, you two.
I just learned that that was the last braid dump.
Well, I will give a big drooly slobbery hug.
How old are you again? I started out as 10 but then
something happened with when that Caterpillar thing sucked
out some of my life force. I got saved and it added like
two years to my life I think. Have we fed her a mango yet
'cause that meant she would have lost a year?
Oh lot are we lost a year then OK, I'm.
Gonna say if you eat. More mangoes than you have or
years? It works.
You just turn into sperm and eggs.
It only gets yeah, it's sperm, so you can have eggs.
Only every. Turn back the clap.
One year is how I wrote that, basically.
And if you, But if you miss a year, then you can, you would
still gain that. You know what I mean?
Like if you if you didn't eat a mango for two years, then you
would when you lose it. Yeah.
You said to lose it. Yep, pretty much.
Hey guys, we should we should clear the center island of our
little bath chamber and plant a mango tree.
That's what Jess was trying or Ash was trying to do a long time
ago there. But you should.
Do it. Somebody to do it.
I'd start one of my one of my guys.
You go do that. I forget how many you'd said per
inch, but you got 468 inches. Baby. 468 inches. 468 inches.
How are you walking right now? I'm I'm very strong.
The third leg, clearly. So the math that we did the last
time at the Jewelers, which was the Jewelers named Plund.
Yeah, that sounds sounds familiar.
OK. 'Cause I have plunder the
jeweler and I was like, was this supposed to be plunder the
jeweler? No, we're supposed to plunder
the jeweler. Got it.
OK, what was the math you had there?
It's 100 gold per inch of blue sapphire.
So you got 46,800? And just sapphires.
Yep. And what did you say the total
of all these items were again I. Should 100 and when?
You said it. 150K is what he quoted so one.
OK, so this is a little bit short of that.
Sweet talking, Sweet talking. I can.
I mean, I got to intimidate him, but.
I could do that. Let me try the sweet talking 1st
and then if we need to intimidate them we could do it
together because I've got a pretty high intimidation too.
Is that your? Is that your high ticket gem?
Then ash that you have on you. I think the highest ticket one
are the amethyst which we used to pay for the greedy goblin,
but I still do have 36 of those which we did not get priced
'cause I did not pull any of the amethyst out at the jeweler.
Did you pay for the greedy goblin?
Yeah, the greedy goblins paid for.
But how many? Because he said that was like 50
grand if I remember correctly for the greedy goblin day.
No, it's already paid for. I don't remember what it was
either off the. Bottom, but then we can gauge
the amethyst from there. Ruby's Ruby amethysts are
anywhere from 5 to 10,000 gold or if I have equal 10,000 gold
because I just have amethyst 5 dash 10,000.
Got it. So 5 for 10,000.
I would say the. #36. Yeah, I have 36 in my back.
How to? Play 5 * 10.
So you've got 72,000 worth of amethysts, 40,000 something
worth of sapphires, some large 14 to 20,000 in actual cash, and
then numerous other gems that are yet to be.
Calculated for. Calculated.
So wait, you said you did math on the Amethyst.
How much did you say that was? It was if it's.
If it's 10,000 for five you do 36 / 5 which is 7.
So 7 * 10 is 70,000. OK, just trying to write it
down. Trust in the capitalism
Franklin's. Franklin's not the capitalist,
but he has memories of capitalism.
Oh yeah, Josh, I think the only other thing from the my list,
correct me if I'm wrong, I'm trying to scroll back up, was
the tattoo. You already have that, unless
you're talking about another tattoo.
The claw one, is that the one that I like?
You allowed me to like change to or.
How did that? Work, I thought.
I thought that that's what you were asking anyways was to.
That's perfect. OK.
Then I have no other need for items for this thing.
I didn't know because like if if there was like the tattoo shop
was like a separate thing we do then go there type.
Of if you wanted an additional tattoo then.
Right. Yeah.
No, I'm good with just swapping it out, OK.
Great. And and and in that case, who's
buying your mommy's dinner because she be fronting this
bill? Mommy's buying.
We eat for free. We've already got that covered.
Thank you, Bobby. So totally up to you.
It's your money. I don't.
I'm just trying to gauge how much like you actually have.
Yeah, OK. So.
So you're at least at 150 thousand with the 70.
With the two gems you're at 110 plus.
I think you had about 20,000 in gold because.
You had 7. 1000 what? I thought it was 70,000 in gold
you said? That was for the Amethyst. 7200
in just gold in my. Pocket 7200.
Plus the 146 platinum, which would be 100 and.
Yeah, those are 100,000. Those are 1000.
It's gold to platinum, right? 10 gold.
OK, So with the gems. OK, So you said the items total,
Sorry I got to write it down. No, no worries.
You're good. 100 numbers, guys. I.
Don't know why I play this game, it's all math.
You're the one who's playing missing money bags.
I'm just used to having money 'cause she comes from money and
also she's got a bag of like mystery currency that she's just
never gone through. I'm very curious.
I'm very curious how Ash is going to role play this whole
entire scenario actually too, because I feel like Ash just
understands that she has money and because she's only ever had
money, you know what I mean? That that that she's going to
walk up to the guy, you know, she's she's made the deal with
to buy that place. And she's like, well, I could
just buy your establishment if you want, instead of you giving
me these things. And then try to lay like
everything you have out on the table and be like.
I don't know what you're going to do with in that case, But
that that was is partially what I was expecting to happen.
By his store. Oh my goodness.
I could try, but we're at Baldreth Smithy, right?
Bildreth does own a large share of this yes establishment.
Talking to right now 'cause I thought that's who we were
talking to. Baldreth talks about the Oh
wait, that's from a few days ago or a few sessions ago.
Yes, I I really haven't given my name.
I don't, I don't think it's thyroid.
You can worry about that if it if it becomes important to you.
But what what's the Yeah. Are you going to be able to rent
that 150K or what? What?
What's your thoughts here? That's a big.
War, you know. What do I need to get like some
sort of deal bulk price? What do you think, Ash?
You said it was a total for these 150,000 for our list of
items and you have here on hand. Well, at least a couple of them
where I'd probably have to, you know, call them in.
It wouldn't, it wouldn't take. I would.
I would at least ask a day on you where we're thoroughly
through this one. I kind of like lean down to
Franklin and I just very subtly whisper to him, I'm like, we're
going to have to put those other plans on hold until we get all
of our stuff, OK? Yeah, that makes total sense.
Hey, when was that festival again?
Like how? After tomorrow.
It's you. You've, you've probably, you've
probably got the few days to prepare.
Few days to prepare, Yeah. 'Cause I really like these
items. The time for that, that'd be
great. Oh, you know, sweet, grow the
festivities. We could definitely do that.
It, I think it, I think you've got at least a week, you know,
to prepare for the festival. Oh, that's so perfect.
You guys. See, Franklin's eyes are pitch
black right now. I kind of just like pat him on
the head and I'm like, cool it. Don't give yourself away just
yet. They go back to normal.
That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, looking forward to it. I've never been to a party.
Does this Compton react to his eyes at all?
It's probably not, and he's he's probably just brushes it off
like your your adventure is he's he's he's I mean there there an
we're an outfitting of armor and weapons.
So it's one of the first place that any adventurer that makes
it to the 4th level of hell can would go.
Great, great. Good.
Good, good.
Good, good, good, good, good. OK.
So we would like these items, but since we're going to have to
wait for some of these, I think we should come down a little bit
on the price. And I mean, you're already
getting such a good deal from us, you know, you can come down
for us, right? And I'm just trying to persuade
him and be kind of sweet about it.
Oh, of course you can roll that persuasion.
Or or can I can I aid her by my the part that I said?
The part that you said, I'm not sure if she needs it was a 23,
but what was the part? Nevermind, that's fine, I was
just trying to give her assistance.
Oh, OK. Plus 13 fuck.
So you don't. Need help at all.
He looks at you, batting your eyelashes at him, and he goes.
He kind of melts a little bit and he goes, well, I can take
off a, a little bit from my Commission.
But you know, I've got to still feed my family.
So the best, the best that I can do is probably something in the,
in the in the range of 140K 'cause you know, I still have to
feed the 16 miles at home, 16 miles.
That a lower number. Prolific.
Oh, yes, yes. Thank you.
And you said Baldreth only owned half of the shop.
The way he talked, he made it seem like this was all his shop.
Well, Baldreth does own a large part of the shop.
I would he just majority share when I when I say that he's he's
probably in in the realm of nine ownership.
There's a couple of holdouts though that have been really,
really been holding on to their shares for the company do.
Do we want to buy another shop in a level of hell that we are
about to decimate with Firebox? No.
Yeah, I was. I was looking at that point.
Not if that's the plan. Again, that doesn't have to be
the plan. I'm just it's an option to very
quickly level a bunch. Yeah.
I mean, that sounds pretty good to me, the levelling.
I did do the math just I mean, if you're really, really
considering it, it's well, you're, you're you're looking at
at a chunk of XP, but it's not. Yeah.
It's not obscene. You're looking at maybe a A
level or two depending upon where you're at, but in the case
of. Ezra.
You look at that almost, Ezra.
We'll learn more. Listen, ritual sacrifice, blood
sacrifice. We get little Ezra here up to
speed. What do you think?
I mean, I I, I like this plan, especially if Ezra is now.
Ezra Ezra's not Ezra Ezra's counted.
He's counted for keeps count of y'all.
See if Gianna's hit figures it's count of four.
It looks down. Is that more than four?
They like yuck. Pretty sure big numbers around.
He's also I don't know, I. Never charged too much.
Also. Charged too much?
More than four. Good question.
How many things have has Regina put in her mouth in this store?
And is she keeping them in there?
I'm. Right at the door, licking the
doorknob. And yeah, I may have pocketed
some pebbles I found on the floor.
By pocketed, I mean like in my cheek.
Oh, OK, There's no, there's there's no response from the the
goblin. In that sense, you're you do
find yourself just as a. He's gone.
I was really excited to hear the end of the sentence.
If he and and with multiple cases and standing suits of
armor and such throughout the the the center space so that
you'd have to walk around it when you're you you're first
walking in to to talk to the goblin you guys are talking to
currently. But yeah, where do you find
yourselves? Does he notice her licking?
So I wouldn't stole it thing just just pebbles, just licking,
licking. Yeah.
Sample. Sniffing the dynamite tastes
pretty good too. It's spicy.
Why does this make my tongue burn?
It's like licking a bat. It's.
Like Pop Rocks, right? All right.
I did want to ask you, Josh, did Frederick give you a list of the
things he wanted 'cause I didn't see any of them shared here and
he said he was looking for stuff, but he never shared it
with me. I also see nothing.
He got a cloak of invisibility just before we'd finished the
last time of our murder. You guys took him to Essel.
That he does that was. The enchanter just the cursed
cloak of invisibility that he doesn't know is cursed.
Correct. Yes.
Cursed. Just making sure.
It's what you get when you request a legendary item that.
I was unprepared for and charged you only like 10 gold for.
Bryant, she didn't. She was just trying to get rid
of it 'cause she knew it was cursed.
Day one is when we should have bought shit.
Discount. Double check.
Right Wisdom, save. They're not very wise.
Did it roll? Oh, it rolled on that screen.
Interesting. Didn't roll on my screen.
Yeah. So you're batting of your
eyelashes and such and you're kind of taking the, the the
cloak off your shoulder a little bit probably, I would guess.
And he he looked, he looked over and he goes.
Yeah. Well, like I said, did the.
Best I can do really is the 100 and 140K.
OK, I can probably go down to 100 and 139.
Five hundred 1335. Oh no, no, that's the wrong
numbers. I like that the 1003. 35 that's
heavy breathing and he goes, he turns, it turns away and he
looks, he starts typing on the on the tablet and he goes. 1.
1309, Thirty Nine, 1339. 139 K-1. 39.
I I would like to add my, my, my, my, my 17 intimidation as
I'm kind of like she's all be like, Oh nice.
And I just sitting over that, glaring at him behind like over
her shoulders, looking down like do what nice lady says just ice
hurting his soul. OK, so he said he would take it
down to 139 and this was not including all of his dynamite.
With the total between the blue sapphires, the amethyst, the
platinum and the gold, I probably have a total of 125,000
and 510 gold. What would it be without the
staff of swarming insects? I was also wondering, I'm like,
do we want all three of these axes 'cause I thought we had
decided that somebody just wanted the blood axe and not the
other two. So yeah, yeah, he like, he like,
he like, wipes his brow and looks over at you, Ezra, who's
glaring at him. And he goes.
You're going to have to do a little bit better than that.
My boss would literally remove my testicles and you can see how
important those are to me. Anyway I.
Can I can do that for you? The UB Chuck's wedge that was
just a hundred 250 gold. Although the rhinos hide burning
protector axe that was 20K. Not sure about the the blood axe
that was 10K. I'm not sure which axe you're.
Referring to that we need to remove.
From the order. I just, I don't remember who's
ordering what. I thought Ezra wanted the blood
axe and nobody mentioned the up the the upchuck wedge or and the
rhino hide burning axe like those who were just forgotten
about after the blood axe was shown.
OK. We can take those off the order
there that's. Oh wait, wait wait, I think I
spoke too soon. I'm sorry I just scrolled down
and it said right here Ezra wants in our discord chat.
Sorry, the lawbreaker jacket and the rhinos burning.
Wedge burning. Yeah, yeah.
OK. So OK.
Please forgive me at this point I'm talking to this guy and I've
walked over and I've kind of like put my hand on his shoulder
and I've just started to like gently knead as I'm talking
about like, oh, we're going to drop off this axe because we've
decided we didn't want that one anymore or the blood axe.
And I'm just like caressing his shoulder.
Oh. Mama.
OK, we got 10K. And 200 and. 50 Oh nice, That's
that's the those what about that?
You said something about the High Roller's mantle.
I still got the green bloodstone on here that needed ring of
understanding. Wait, was somebody trying to buy
the green bloodstone or figure out how much it was?
That was not me. 'Cause I thought it was trying
to figure out how much it cost cause the green bloodstone is
worth about 500 gold pieces 'cause I think this was for the
jeweler. Yeah, that I have the 519, I
just have it in the list. Yeah, 'cause I think.
Frederick has green bloodstones in his bag that he was going to
trade to the jeweler and then we could not because we emptied
their coffers. That's another 500 there ring of
understanding ring of teething. I think that that when I heard
somebody that and I look over the OR the goblin looks over at
the the child. Yeah, the child with rocks in
their mouth and goes looks like you need that.
Keep that one on there. Ring of understanding was 10,
approximately 10K right? OK and you said it was 20 K for
the rhinos Burning axe? Yep, that wouldn't.
Yep, Yep. In Discord, Josh, you're the one
who posted Ring of Understanding.
OK. So we don't need that one
because I haven't heard anyone ask for that one specifically
today. Yeah, I'm not sure what that is.
I I also don't have it written down what everybody asked for
because I just started sharing those things.
Yeah, I know the ones that I want.
That's why I'm. That's why I'm clarifying lists
currently basically. Right.
So we have ring of moving, ring of understanding, but no, we're
getting rid of. That one getting rid of that
one. Rhino's burning axe and then the
Lawbreaker jacket. Yes.
That is on there. Oh actually sorry, I have it as
High Roller as Mantle, is that the same thing?
Did we share something else? No Lawbreakers is different than
the High Roller mantle. Ezra wants High Roller mantle or
the Lawbreaker and Rhino's hide. And then Ash Cat posted right
now. Where did it go, KIRO?
Oh no, KIRO wrote for Rarlson. The High Roller mantle, which
that's a different campaign, so we can't buy that.
Yeah, Oh yeah. Was that something we should
have been looking for in the Dragon's Horde then?
Yes, yes, I'm Yeah, I. I guess.
I guess I forgot about it, yeah. Got it.
I mean, I, I tried to look at it, but it's restricted in
showing like what it does on the Instagram thing, unless you're a
Patreon. So we can remove that one as
well. Trying my Internet is being put
again on this on the law. Let us overwhelm you.
Sorry, yeah. No worries.
No, no. Law breaker.
That one stays. I'm trying to pick that road.
In that one's case, what it is the law breaker?
What? Now let me see what I can find.
I posted it and it I posted a description that went with it as
well. The lawbreaker jacket, a
wondrous item, very rare, requires atonement.
Leather jacket like these are worn by followers of the Hessian
Order Defiance called Lawbreakers, which is fun, but
it says Law of Probability as a reaction to a creature you can
see within 60 feet that makes an ability check an attack roll or
saving throw. You can expend 1 charge to bend
chaos and interfere with the law and interfere with the laws of
probability. This creature must roll A1D6 and
either add or subtract the result to the result of their
role. Your choice.
If you have access to Bardic Inspiration, you can activate
this property by expending your uses for it instead of this
item's charge at a rate of one use per activation.
And then it's got two other things.
Whoops, I closed it. Law of Law of Causality and Law
of morality. And this was designed by Shiny
Press on Instagram and Twitter. That's a that's a very strong
one. Damn.
It's like a super divination spell or item.
This was in the discord, how do I share it?
To what is it the list of Thingima bobs?
Right now I'm looking at it too now too.
Jesus. Oh right there, copy message
link. Let me see.
That's what I needed to do there.
Hopefully that helps. I was.
Just looking at the. At it now.
And yeah, I mean, that's fairly
close to a one to one change there for the law Breakers and
the high rollers. I think that's why we looked up
the high rollers, but I couldn't quite remember.
Yeah, Yeah. I'll, I'll switch that one out.
It's the, like I said, pretty close to the same.
That one's 41 K approximately. You know what I also forgot is I
get advantage when I am dealing with merchants or tradesmen.
Oh yeah. That's the dress, yeah.
Advantage I I will still have. To say advantage on the 23.
And you again, this is the best that I can do.
Like you, you could talk to my manager if you want, but.
Oh, you're good. Turned to Ezra.
He needs to save his body for his children.
Do you want to go take care of that with me?
Eat some? Can I eat them?
I mean, sure, if that's what you're into.
Yeah, I've got some some goblin meat cooking right now.
Actually. I pull out a paki of of jerky
and I hand some to you. You remember those goblins at
the door? This is the Oh no, you didn't
exist. The merchant over.
Yeah, yeah, we're, we're just having a side conversation in
the background, but it was. So here morph his face into that
like a like a into his wolfish state just so he can see like.
And just with those things that we've subtracted so far, we're,
we're we're closer down to 100 and like 20,000.
Oh, that's not as bad. Could you go over the staff of
insects, the Sentinel shield, and the ring of bind shielding?
Those are buy items. I just want to see if anything
is like wildly expensive that I could get rid of for you guys.
The fentanyl shield was just a 500 gold pieces.
Well, 600 shit, 612. That's so sexy.
All right. And then the I've been trying to
use round figures. I've got some, I've got some
mark UPS, obviously that are things that I and the staff of
swarming insects was 25 K approximately 2100.
What was the other one? The the rig of bide shielding,
which I absolutely did. And I look up to the ceiling, my
Lord spring of mind shielding. Oh yeah, that wouldn't that are
up to the day out with that is one of them.
That's like A20K item right there.
Yeah, so I got, I got about 45 K worth of items in there, so if
needed, I could get rid of the staff of swarming insects to
lower the price for you guys 'cause I don't want to like 45 K
of 120. Yeah, 'cause that's what I
wanted. I wanted some individual
pricing. If it's not too much to bother.
How much is the circlet of wisdom?
Desert Golly's down towards. They're going to.
Break them, frankly. 8K and the Dragon's tooth belt. 8.5 K per
tooth per tooth. Per tooth.
Oh no sorry I I apologize. It was per tooth was 4K so the
8.5 came with two. So if you want a total of 12, I
think it is what it can hold. The belt and you said how much
was the lawbreaker's jacket? That was 41K.
Actually, wait, wait a second here and he goes back down
through the list. He's I'm looking back up.
So wondrous item jacket had jacket has five charges.
So and it takes two and it takes 2 takes one.
So you can do that once, twice. I've got a little CHEAT SHEET
here of how I'm how I'm doing some of my valuing of things.
Ezra Lane. Ezra Lane's down at Franklin and
kind of like less whisper. So if I eat him, then
everything's free, right? Sorry, no, the high Roller's
mantle was 41 Ki think that I I'm I did have it here.
Actually, the Lawbreaker's jacket was just under it.
It was 15 Ki have to get one one second here and he he's.
Only if he gets the items in stock, like he has to have them
here right now, like we'd have to come back a few days.
That that taking the taking the the High Roller mantle out
you're you're down to 7 to 80 K. And how much was the Ring of
teething? Oh, the ring of teething.
Yeah, you're only looking at that 2K.
It's. Free.
OK, I'm going to drop the Dragon's tooth belt because I
was going back and forth on that as it was and I already have a
boatload of daggers. Oh.
Shit, as we're confirming to Franklin.
So we come back. And I eat.
Yeah, or we buy or we set off a large explosion, killing
everyone here at the festival, and we come back to get the
stuff that. You're down to the 70K.
That's pretty good. Is that including or excluding
the staff of insects? I didn't catch that.
Including. Including that's that would be
dice. Yeah, so so far we've gotten rid
of the Ring of Understanding and the Dragon's Tooth Belt.
Yep. And the High Roller's mantle.
And up Chuck's wedge and the
blood axe. Yes.
OK. That is totally up to you there,
Ash. It's your body.
Well, I look back. At you What if you?
What if you offer a mango? They probably don't have them
here. They probably don't.
How many mangoes do I have left? Just need the seeds though.
I I do want to lean in and ask him and ask him again and like
in the 70 K is the best you can give us on these items again,
fluttering my lashes, hand on the shoulder.
No, I'm. Trying to be like eye to eye
with him, like, yeah, you know, you want to give us a discount
because we're so nice and we're not being a pain in the ass at.
All. If only we had the distort value
and I. Won't.
Take the big dog on you. 30. Yeah, the big dog are far.
He's he. He's kind of shaking and quaking
and he goes. I could probably take 1000 off
of that, but like I said, that's still only leaves me with like a
2000 Commission and that that. So you said he'd take 1000 off?
Yeah, 69. Maybe that makes it 69.
That's good. I.
Know what that is? Now what does?
That mean? Oh.
We'll explain when you're older. I used to be older, but now I'm
nine. Sorry, you're like Benjamin
Button. So say that again, you cut out.
I said I may be 9 but I have the wisdom of a 10 year old.
Beautiful. I will show.
Who you are? So I lean into him, I give him a
little wink and I'm like, I think we can do that.
I was like but I do want to ask, would you accept precious press
precious gems as payment? Hell, I mean, yeah, which I
could probably do it do that if what kinds are you talking
about? I, I was like, give me just a
moment. I turn around real quick and I
pull my backpack off and I kind of just set it in Franklin's
arms. And I'm like, hold this, I don't
want to set this down. And I just reach in and I pull
out three sapphires and hold them out in front of him.
Oh, that was so nice. That was so nice.
I I, I fairly fairly cut ish. Give me not.
I don't have any. Impurities and he's holding one
up to the light I I. We can work with this.
And I'm like, OK, so you like the sapphires?
Good. So I reach into the bag that
Franklin is now holding, and I just, like, pull out like
another handful. And is there a counter near us?
Are we standing at a counter? Are we standing by this guy's
forge where he was working? You guys probably walked in and
hadn't made it to like the back half of the store 'cause it's
this thing's like warehouse size, but there is at least near
you. Probably a case with some some
encased armor that could probably start laying this out
on if that's what you're trying to do.
Yeah, that's what I would do. I would pull out a handful and
then I would start lining them up, like just putting them on
there in a nice row. Oh, oh, careful, careful.
Those sapphires are those will cut.
Right through that. Oh, right through the glass.
OK, I thought it was wood. Oh no.
No, replace them very gingerly. Fun fact, sapphire is the second
hardest stone. As in scratching the only thing
harder than it is done. I should keep one just to break
stuff with. Them and yeah, he makes that
comment and he's like, well, and he like presses a few things on
his E pad on his mirrored device and holds it close to the the
where you're laying it out on top of the the glass surface and
goes is that is that everything? So I've probably pulled out.
How many did I say I had of these gems?
I've probably pulled out just like what is it?
13 of them so far. OK.
And I'm like, this isn't enough to cover what we need, correct?
Do you? Need more no.
I'm just making sure this. Is where you this?
Is the amount of sapphire you're trading for.
I'm assuming there's more to the.
And he's just looking at after you've put them in nice neat
rows, like looking to see if there's any more room on top of
the thing that you put it. Yeah.
So I would say there's the three that I handed him and then I put
10 out on the counter and I'll grab another 10 out of this out
of my backpack and start to line them up as close to the first
row as I can. His eyes are bolt, starting to
grow because. You've been mining.
Where have you been mining? I was in an incredibly strange
cave, but it gave much much loot for and I pause for much much
pleasure. Oh, what?
I'm talking about the phallic caves, but this is not where I
got these. Well, Captain, that wasn't
nowhere. That was higher, but.
So yeah, there's about 20 of them out on the counter.
And I looked to him and I'm like, is this enough to cover
everything? Do you need some more?
It holds the device up to the edge of the counter and starts
kind of like like is. Is it OK if I touch him real
quick here? I gesture at him like, go ahead.
You said you had 20 of them. Yeah, I just lined up 20 of them
on the counter, plus the three that he that I handed to him.
OK. And he he puts it over top.
He takes takes them and kind of crowds them as much as possible
on top of his mirrored device looking thing, even stack going
so far as to stack some of them. He goes.
It's about how about 30,000 words of your total?
You said 30,000 of off of our total.
Yes. So again, I reach into my bag.
I pull out another 10, line them up on the counter.
Round of 40 I would guess before he starts trying to like making
a pyramid on top of his device. I'm just imagining him holding
like the device with one hand and he's just kind of like
building them up like a stack of cupcakes, but it's sapphires.
Pretty much. I could go more probably for
some of these and he holds. One up to the light, but.
I still got to get them appraised, you know, and the
cost with that and I've obviously the the exchange rates
and. I just kind of like, like, like
look at them. I'm like, don't worry, you can
trust me. These are well worth it.
I can see that they're very nice.
They're 30. Like I said though, 3030
thousand gold pieces for these. All right.
And then plus another ten was 40,000.
So how many have I given you? 33, So I'm going to pull out
another 10 and line those up and another 10 and line those up.
So that should be all of my sapphires.
And that was. So OK.
So my 20. Sapphires was 452, so the last
stack would have been a stack of nine, not ten.
Oh, OK. So he's just standing there with
a little mountain of sapphires now?
Well, I don't know. How little I was.
Gonna say it wasn't very little he's he's like.
Oh, well, this is like, yeah, that that would get us to the
69,000. Is this Penguin?
Yes, if this is a currency you will accept, I will gladly pay
with these. OK.
And he like presses the side of the mirror and you see the
pyramid just drop away inside of it and it closes up and.
This you can I can get some of those items off of your list
right now, I think. And he goes back to to tapping
on it and he goes I think it was, yeah, the rhinos hide the
help that we've got now. Yep, we got this to bring a
proceeding that's that's just a little bit back in the storage.
What? Was the the Oh yeah, the ring of
my mind shielding what we we we did that, But Oh yeah.
So I think it was just those two items there the the rhino was
hide and burning potato, ring of shield the rhino.
'S. That we'd have to the ring of
mine shield. OK.
Those are the ones that you have to order.
Yeah, that, that we'd have to just bring in.
We do have a belt of giant strength, but I, I, I want to be
clear that it's the hill. We don't have storm giant
accessible to us. That's the highest quad.
We, we, we. Yeah.
And you in you've purchased the the worth of the Hill Giant Belt
of Giants, right? I'm not sure.
I think it was verbally said at some point even.
I'm trying to go back I. Was gonna say if we pay for it,
it's ours now. Oh.
It may have been.
Foreign. Mom A.
Oh yeah, is she stronger than what did you say was a hill dry?
I don't know, it gives you a strength of 21.
Probably not. Yeah.
Oh, you know, I I put. Belt of giant strength.
I didn't specify. OK, I mean either way,
definitely Mamae could use it. It gives you literally I I
looked them up after that and I was like, I knew they were
stated items, but I didn't know all the tears.
I I hadn't, I had no idea. It goes hill, frost slash,
stone, fire, cloud and storm and those respectively are 2120,
three, 2527 and 29. That's why I was like, yeah, I
don't think there's a storm giant in this level.
You. Might find a fire.
Yeah, yeah. Hill.
Fire. Maybe cloud very possible, but
again that we're you're talking like. 4 clouds are. 9K20K50K55K
and the storm at 150 K so. Right, I don't even know what
clouds are. It's hard to remember clouds
we've been down here so long. OK, So what are the items that
he said he's going to have to order, but the rest that he has?
The the that would be the the ring of mine shielding and the
the rhinos hide burning protector axe.
I personally see that. It's on the roster.
I just don't know where they would actually acquire it
necessarily. I would, I would, I would guess
it's from and I'm not seeing actually who made this on here,
but I would, I would love to quote them if you have that.
Information that you. The OH.
That's what down. Here the rhino hides burning
axe. Oh, got it.
I will look for that while we keep playing because it's in my
long list of items. OK, so we can get everything but
two items. I think that's pretty good.
Yeah, the rest. We'll just have to come back for
another day before the festival. Yeah, can we have Wink a
written? Yeah, that's like Ezra's winking
right at Franklin, winking so hard.
Wink, wink, wink, wink, wink wink.
Yeah, it's going to be totally great, guys.
We all look like we're twitching.
Best festival ever. Can I have a written receipt and
another receipt for the two items that need picked up?
You know, oh, just to be. Safe.
Oh yeah, yes, yes, certainly, certainly.
And he? He attached a few things and on
your side a little hole that prints out this stone chip
basically, and he hands it to you.
Is this? The receipt printed on stone.
That's kind of cool. Just hands it to you.
He just levers on on duty that day present that they'll
understand what you need for. For the most part you might have
to recant those items, but it should be a full accounting of
all the things that were had today.
OK. And.
Just give me a couple. Couple more minutes and I can
get you the rest of your items. And he he looks at you guys to
make sure there wasn't anything else before he turns on his heel
and jogs off down. If he's so flustered right now.
Clustered, yeah, until from having, but not, not too
terribly. But he he comes back then like
this 5 minutes not even and of folder handing out the other
items that you guys purchased. OK so I found the Rhino hides
burning protector acts on my list that I keep here on
Pinterest but there's no link. Like when I click on the image
it doesn't take me to a link and it just says acts design based
on the work of Poo GUI 2001 and then some script characters that
I don't know how to read. But I did take a screenshot and
I will share it in the discord. Sure.
Wait, wait, what is that name? What would it say the name was?
I think it's POO GUI, but it's spelled.
Poo poogie. I thought poogie originally too
but I'm like Nah is it poo GUI? I I know a creator named Boogie.
That's why I'm like, I don't wonder who's the same guy.
Say item called again. It's called Rhino.
Rhino hides burning protector, axe, and hides is spelled with
an apostrophe S, so I'm guessing the character's name is Rhino
Hide. It's a very pretty.
It's nice. A character that doesn't play.
With axes I have a lot of axes saved.
Yeah, have you seen the the Lion series?
The Lion series from Luke, not Luke Tamron, but I think it's **
sail the the the dragon, not dragon, but the the lion armor
set. I'll be.
All right there. Michael Lion armor set from *
sail. I think it's either star cell or
something Tavern, can't remember something, something Tavern, but
it's like a really cool like they they they did the gleaves,
the chest plate, the helm, the shoulders all the way down to
the sword. I mean, it looked, it looked, it
looked sick. It would be a paladin, a best
friend. Who are you budding first,
Regina? Oh yeah, 'cause he came out and
he handed us all of our stuff now.
Yes. Wait, what was the question?
Said Who are you biting first? We shall see.
I might take a big bite of these rocks and see what happens.
I don't think I'm going to bite anyone in our in our group.
Or can I just go out on the street and bite someone?
Look for a pickpocket. Bite them.
Gains immediate praise for Mesra.
I like yes, small one bite your enemies.
Yeah. I keep my ass troublemakers and
I'll we'll see what happens if I see a pickpocket or a drunk or
someone, someone that needs to be.
Just a drunk guy, just a happy drunk dude, not doing anything
wrong, just gets bitten in the ass by a child.
That's what she. Gets, so she gets.
I would say as we're getting the items that they would just be
getting handed to Ash and then she would like turn around and
give them to their perspective owner or new owner now.
So like the ring of teething and then the other things we have to
wait on the Lawbreaker's jacket. I would I would give that over
to Ezra. And I don't actually remember
what are you currently wearing? Are you just putting this on
over it? He's naked.
He's just gonna wear. A jacket.
Now no pants. No, no, heart-shaped.
Boxers or white boxers with heart shapes on them.
He's wearing like some some like leather jerking pants and like a
a fur vest. The leather jerking pants and a
fur vest. Yep.
And now are you going to put the jacket on over your fur vest or
is the fur vest coming off? On a virtual, do I have a what?
A satchel or a bag to keep your stuff in.
Oh yeah. OK, the staff of the insect
swarm. How much taller is this than
Franklin? Hoping it resizes for the
person. I thought it would just.
Stop for me just. Walking around with this really
tall stick. Well, it's it's not for me.
Oh. That is.
It is something you asked for though, if I remember.
Yes. No, I want it.
It's just not for Franklin. It is for Amos the insect, his
familiar swarm. Because it's technically a
creature, and because of the invocations I took, it gets its
own action and stuff. So if I give it a staff that has
spells built in, they can use Staffs and wands and have its
own concentration? Sure, sure.
And, and in that case, I mean it does not resize as far as you
can tell. I mean, and the the you stating
that to the goblin that's been doing the training goes was that
needing to be built in I can. I've had it over to Isna is but
she might not a guarantee that it won't be.
Cursed. That won't.
Be cursed. Question.
Because like my swarm can, my swarm is it's a, it's a giant,
it's a swarm of insects, like the size of a person.
So it could probably carry it. But in my head I was just
thinking of one individual insect with a staff.
But they can technically carry it just fine.
Right possible answer little one what you got?
Yes, so, Mom. I gesture toward the cranky
plant skull on my shoulder. Logic.
Could Mom also wield a weapon? The answer I mean.
So mechanically, I don't know if you know or want to answer as
Josh or not, but. It's familiar.
Correct. They can.
It's just about action economy. Yeah.
Well, and the things that I was going to say is the ultimate
response of the individual would just look at the root clustered
skull on your shoulder and go. And don't see any hands.
Yeah, the end of a spinal column that could wrap around and hold
something here. For a circlet of blasting.
Yes. Something that it could wear on
its head. I was thinking of utilizing the
the spinal column for example. Do I feel like that could be
strong enough to pull the trigger on?
Fucking gun. Yes, your necro gun.
What does it look like to you with your necro gun?
Necro. Gun it.
I imagine it looking like an old timey.
Like, is that, I don't know, gun names.
Rifle. The thing that's like, really
long. Yeah.
Like, cowboy movies like that, it shoots out like necro stuff,
balls of, I don't know, like light up blue and green and all
kind of magical stuff. Yeah.
OK. So theoretically, could the end
of its final column have the strength to pull a trigger?
Gone. Quiet Did we lose someone?
I'm just trying to compute that question.
OK, sorry. Hard light.
I guess the real question is can I use items right?
Yeah, I guess I just items in general because I could probably
think of something else. I also have blow darts that
perhaps could be blown by a skull.
Without lungs. Like, yeah, we're like, really
like a. Like a wand of magic missiles or
something. I could use that with a spinal
column. Nah, yeah.
Then we'll we'll scratch the blowgun or the blow darts idea.
I'm just thinking that. The necro gun would be cool
though. Yeah, that would be so 'cause
it's. It's like a whole bunch of like
root things, right? Not just one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
So they could like join together to form like a fist, just shoot
people. Yeah, I mean, so mechanically, I
think the issue is more so about action economy, because normally
you have to use your action to give it an action.
OK. But if you are a chain familiar
warlock, you can take a invocation that lets you use
your bonus action to give it an action.
OK, I vaguely remember I thought my familiar had its own action.
That's what I was kind of trying to remember too.
Is it a find familiar like the spell or did you get it from
like a class? It's.
I'm actually not sure. It's not from find familiar
like, it's actually like it's always there.
What's your class? My class wizard.
I thought you. That would have to be find
familiar then. I was gonna say, I thought you
found this to be your familiar basically and.
Using this combat. Oh no, in combat it.
Rules its own. Initiative and acts on its own
turn. It can't attack, but it can take
other actions. OK.
So it can't physically attack things.
OK. But you could use it like me to
summon something that can. OK.
OK, as as the rule states, it cannot attack, it cannot attack.
But if the item uses an attack, the item is attacking.
It is not attacking, it's just activating an.
Item I mean. It does attack, sure.
That's the age-old question of what kills people, that gun or
the person. Well, mom familiars do.
Familiar. Yes.
OK. I feel like, well, I guess
that's a question for Josh. But like, if we were to parse
out weapons, a gun would be the type of weapon that you could
argue like I don't. Agree with the way that it.
I don't agree with the way that it was written, personally, as
long as you're able to account for it and remind me for the
most part that it exists because my ADHD doesn't always have
object permanence. As long as you you can do that
and give me the initiative rule that it asks for, then in my
opinion, it has an action, bonus action and movement just as it
states more or less. But that it tries to go back on
that and say that it it, it can't attack.
Bullshit. It it, Yeah, I mean.
I guess I'm like I'm really bad too.
Doesn't matter, I got rated. Doesn't that degrade the classes
that have specific things to give them more powerful
familiars? I don't know how what you.
You mean to perform keeper? No, so like a chain like well,
so like a chain warlock, they're familiar can attack and cast
spells and do things like that. But a find familiar level one
spell is like a scouting purpose.
That would be that would be my concern is just like if you give
the every familiar the ability to have its own like everything
which. It.
Technically does, right? Yeah, like it has an action and
everything, but I don't know. That's the thing that I'm
playing with, like is Bullock's, in my opinion.
It it can't attack, but it has an action.
Why can't attack but it has an action that that?
I guess that I mean they are a lot weaker too, so I guess.
That's it's. Not really a problem.
I mean how? How are you like?
THP Yeah, my table Tosh is like, you know, they are too like they
they all go like the say you had a Ranger, right?
Ranger has a companion. He rolls one initiative and then
he does his turn and then he does his pet's turn.
The pet he I don't make like my guy's sacrifice.
Oh, I'm going to use my bonus action to give my pet a turn.
No, you have your bonus action action.
You get all that. It gets it 11 just so it cleans
up the initiative and all that. That would be sick.
Would that then apply to my swarm too?
If so, then I have no problem with any of this.
OK, I was just like in my head. That's how I would.
That's how I rule it. That's how I rule it.
I don't know how Josh would rule it like, but that's how.
I agree with you. That's, that's what I thought
we've done in the past too, is like you've used your swarm to
accomplish other things for yourself.
You haven't necessarily attacked with it partially just because
like you're saying about the point of that they are weak,
they don't have a lot of HP, so you can't just like throw them
into combat. And yeah.
Like my swarm probably will end up having about 30 HP after
everything is said and done, but to get them to do anything I
have to use my bonus action. Oh.
I see no, no, to help, to help Rangers out, to help Rangers out
because I'm sorry, the Beastmaster and just Rangers in
general kind of got a short stick.
I used my me and my son. We came up with the idea.
Like you know how in Tasha's book they gave you the the
companions and stuff, how they had their own little levelling
chart and stuff? Use that for your use that for
your pet, level your pet, like level up your pet, give it feet
payability and all that. And it worked.
My son. My son actually did it.
These items are basically my was my method of like levelling up a
familiar. But all right, if, if, if that's
how it works and and they get their own turn, then I got no
problems. I'll shut up.
Yeah. Yeah, no.
So good, good. To clarify, we're saying that in
battle, the familiar gets their own turn.
Or what? What's the What are we deciding
is the rule? That is the rule.
Yeah, their own set of actions, if you want to make it simple
and run them on your initiative so you're not twice going twice
in the initiative count. I think that's what that's what
Rick was saying. And what I would suggest in
general, just because I've voted the opposite of that and it's
not pleasant, right? So they roll their own
initiative. No, you roll initiative and they
play directly after you basically.
Yeah, do all your stuff together.
Yeah, you do 1 initiative. You do your turn and then
immediately following your turn they use and go.
OK, now that makes sense. And to answer your ultimate
question, I think theoretically from what we understand, if
you're familiar, it could fire a gun.
Fuck yeah. Oh yeah.
That's that's all I want, Whether or not I'd use a bonus
action for it to fire a gun or regardless of how it needed to
fire the gun, I was happy with that.
But I'm happy that that's its own thing now too.
That's awesome. OK.
I'm very, very, very excited to see where this goes.
Right now we just need to fight some things.
You know, there's always that shopkeeper that Ezra wants to
eat. I mean.
We do need to go to the temple to inquire about more
information about this place because the temple is supposedly
like the center of this town and it is being led by a deity of
greed. Tai Shen.
Hi.
With AC or K, however you want
to accept that into your heart. And you may have you may have
brought it up to the goblin that's running the shop there
too. And he goes yeah, hi Shen.
He's he's definitely for the greed.
Yeah, I was going to say I have some names written down that
Manny gave us. I have Mamone, Pater, Plutos,
Noosh and. Then.
This last one looks like cashier, which I'm I'm guessing
I wrote this out wrong. And then in parentheses next to
all of these I have greedy bastard.
That's accurate. I wouldn't call them that in the
presence of the church. Though he is the he's.
Pretty much listening there at all times.
Also, though he definitely prefers the Kai shed namesake
currently, if you go by any of those others, he might smite you
just for fun. These these didn't asshole like
that. But if you go back to the edge
of town where he came over from the greedy goblin and just a
little bit north from there along the along the along the
wall, there's a door and the cliffside and you should enter
through there. A door in the cliffside.
OK. Great.
And that's where the temple is on door in the cliffside.
Yes, Madam. I thank him for her all of his
wonderful, helpful service, and give him a little wink and a
wave before sauntering out of the building.
You look to the rest of you that are just probably standing there
like. See you in goodbye tomorrow.
Yeah. OK.
Hopefully you hear you probably guys all hear him under his
breath with the ear passives and hopefully they bring us.
Hopefully they bring their sugar Mama again.
Here's hope she still exists. Yeah, I'm wondering now I'm
like, should I split up some of these gems?
Because I mean, like, I just got rid of all the sapphires, but
I'm like, what if I just put some gems in some other people's
pockets? Like, hey girl.
I mean, if we had like a secure location in the pocket rocket,
you could do that, but we had a box full of cash, but someone
emptied it. Warren.
And then they disappeared out of existence, or else I'd we'd be
rummaging through their pockets. Right.
Travel music. Do do do do do do.
Do do do. You get you get in front of the
entrance to the Cliff face that he was talking about.
You guys try to enter or it's like a so so you guys get to it.
I mean, I want to just describe this for you too.
You get to it and the Cliff face itself looks like it's been hewn
as in they've they've they've mined this space out along the
Cliff face to create this well travelled path.
And then it gets hewn even deeper into this metal, very
finely crafted metal door that has not only the door it felt
that's metal, but also the the either side of it that is that
it abuts to is metal. Oh, does it have like a little
keypad or anything? It does not.
OK, doesn't spark any memories of the boddered world.
Get a Nosebleed. You can roll a history check.
We're we're rolling a history check to see if it reminds us of
the modern world. That was yeah, I the way here it
is described, it is I thought of like a modern like like metal,
like outpost. It's not loading collections my
characters. Why did it unload?
Franklin, Dwordle all. Right, history plus one.
Let's go 11. I get a Nosebleed.
Ow. And then you get distracted by
the Nosebleed and you're like, what was I thinking about?
I start picking my nose and then running around in circles around
everyone as we walk. So I do remember that they said
we shouldn't go there at a certain time of day because they
would be offended and mad. Sounds familiar but I don't know
if I have the time of day off hand.
You could also roll a history check for that.
Yeah, I think I will do that because I just have church
handles, money and the governing.
I take really detailed notes, I swear.
Better than me. Yeah.
I literally anything. 23. So you know for sure that that
time of day has just passed. Because it is.
It is coming towards the afternoon hours, if you will.
You only know this too, because Bill Drizz had been whispering
you sweet in its sweet nothings as you were asking him.
How do they tell time in this such a place?
And you look up over the top of the cavern at this glowstone.
It's a stone that sits atop the very point of the cavern.
It does not move. It sits in the in the very top
and it looks almost like a, a stalagtite, except that the rest
of them which are pointed, this one is rounded.
And at every hour on the hour there seems to have been a burst
of fire that slams into it, heating it down.
And you, you, you know for a fact because of the whole nature
of it currently that it is, it is later in the day and.
So is to clarify, is that thing acting kind of like a sun or
just like a big clock? Big clock, OK.
Actually, I've just been making this up on the spot and it would
probably be that there are several stalactites and it is
one of the select types that are farther along the cavern which
indicates that it is a later in the day.
So you you know how it is hour to approach the church from your
understanding with the truth. So do you guys try to open the
door? I'll turn everyone and be like,
OK, so this is a good time for us to approach the church
because they won't get mad or offended.
Shall we proceed inside and see what we can find?
If that's a good idea, just remember everyone don't offend
the church, even if their ideas are stupid.
Oh yeah, I'm going to like, look down at what's your character's
name again? Which one are we using?
Regina, right? Yeah, Regina.
Yeah, I'm going to look down at Regina, and I'm going to look at
her and I'm going to be like, OK, so we're going to agree with
whatever they say, even if it sounds really dumb.
And I'm going to look up at Ezra and say the same thing.
Just smile and nod. Oh, God.
And then I'm going to is there a knocker?
Like do I need to knock or can we just waltz right in?
It seems to be there's just a just the door handle.
I want to knock. Role performance.
OK, 2020, 3020. 20 It is a very elegant knock.
You you, you probably do like once with your knuckles, twice
with your heel, and then once with your knuckles again or
something like that. And then you you're standing
there and there is no response. Hey, I thought that was
depressive. After waiting for a moment and
nobody answering, I would open the door slowly, just like reach
down, see if I can turn the knob and open the door.
The handle opens no problem and the door swings out towards you.
You guys see into a fully metaled hallway, ceiling and
floor down to a corridor that has another door of a very
similar make. This place is made out of like
just just fully metal. Full metal?
Yep. How?
Hot. Is it in here?
I mean, I know we have the ring or the necklaces of Fire
Protection. It wasn't.
It would have felt filtering outside of the hallway, inside
of that hallway. It's almost you.
You just you're, you're all very.
Oh well, those that are wearing shoes are very glad to be
wearing shoes. In the Quran, do I notice
anything besides a hot metal room?
In this particular space, no. It it, it appears, was a
transition space and a hallway more than needed to be high.
Ezra probably ducking to to make sure that he fits inside of the
space. Everyone else is probably
fitting mostly comfortably, actually.
Sorry, I I think Franklin even might even be ducking because it
is. Wait, how?
What time is the door? The door was fairly large, but
it opened into the smaller corridor.
The the door was easily 7 foot. So the door was 7 foot and the
corridor is very small. Yeah, like 4 foot.
Oh yeah, I am ducking a little bit.
Yeah, I was gonna say I think I'm 4 foot two.
So yeah, I even I would be ducking right?
Yes, this is not purpose. It's like a defensive thing or
this place was made by dwarves or goblets.
I'm. Gonna say my ching on from.
Turkey I've. Been pretty.
Small. So do you open the door at the
end of the quarter? I'm gonna knock there as well.
Should I roll another performance?
You may, but I will guarantee there is no response that would
get 18. I do another fancy knock and get
no response. After a moment of no response, I
would also test the door to see if it would open.
It opens no. Problem.
It opens no problem. Correct.
And you guys bolts on through into a much larger space,
similar in nature to the rough hewn area you were before, but
with a much more organized nature to the architecture
beyond. Simply because there is only one
building specifically in front of you.
And that is of a massive, you're guessing church that they have
been talking about because it's got a sloped roof and a steeple
in this direction that the east position as well as that it is
noticeably cooler even though it's still as vibrantly bright
somehow in all directions. Turn to the others.
Isn't it weird how we still use north-south, East and West?
And how would that literally doesn't exist here?
I mean, it does, but we're just guessing, aren't we?
There's only two, right? We're just guessing.
Did someone get a compass? Yes, Ezra has a.
Compass Which way is North? Ezra always points at you you.
Pull out the the compass that nearly you've got it and eight
points currently towards the church in front of you.
Oh. That way.
So that's NI look to you. You should really spend some
time with that thing and get to know it.
I shake my book. This thing has been very
educational. So I'm gonna start marching
towards the church. Do I notice anything in the area
that we are walking through? Well, you notice.
Quite a lot of guys out for pickpockets.
Notice quite a lot of things. First and foremost that there
isn't much of A crowd here, especially at this hour.
You realize directly in front of you there is not a door.
You only suspect that a door is in the southern location because
you can hear some conversation in that direction.
We can hear some conversation in that direction.
That's what you said. Yep.
Wells, you're talking to me. I'm typing up this item I just
got. How do you spell wield?
Like wield and wielder. WEILD.
It's EI. That's what I thought it was
too. But it's telling me.
It's wrong. Yeah, I before I, before E,
except for after C. Oh, so it's i.e.
LDER. Yeah, it is all right.
OK, OK. Fuck you English.
It doesn't make sense. Gosh, but I just wanted to make
sure it was right. More words in the English
language break that rule, then follow it.
I. Agree.
So EII think that's like fact though.
Yeah, they're like weird it. Was weird, isn't it?
Mm hmm. Bite someone.
OK, so. You guys can move your
characters like, oh shit, I gotta move, that's what.
I yeah, I was gonna say we're still staring at a door.
Sorry guys. That's OK, I just thought.
Maybe I got. You.
I got you. I got you.
Now, now you're there. I was about to say, like, you
guys can move your characters, right?
I'm just staring at you guys. OK, Yeah.
There you go. Yeah.
To the South of the position is where you've heard the
conversation and no one else is moving.
They got to the other side of the door.
Ash. You round the corner of the
church and see two goblinoid figures at two separate doors
standing. Looks like Vigil or Guard do.
These goblin figures look familiar.
They look at the similar build to the ones that were in front
of the greedy goblin. You're wondering if maybe
there's some sort of guard school or something and as well
as the stat. For the other game.
As well with the a statue that looks to be very beefy with a
hammer and stands easily 3040 feet up in the chamber, almost
brushing some of the Stalag tights that are dripping down
from the ceiling in this area. There's there's moisture
dripping from the ceiling. No, the Stalag tights on the
cavern ceiling are appearing as if dripping.
OK. They don't have water
necessarily that you can see currently it's it's too hot.
So it just drips and then evaporates halfway down.
Pretty much. I'm going to slowly approach me
and Bob, just going to slowly approach to these goblins, OK?
And I'm going to call out a greeting as friendly as
possible. Like hail friends.
They look at each other and they go.
The one that's closest to you goes no.
Friend of mine. And I kind of like squint at
them and I'm like, oh, are we not?
I thought I had met you just the other day.
I must be mistaken. Forgive me.
I was like, I'm new around here and I was hoping to visit your
beautiful temple. You wish to go inside, but then
you must swear filthy to Kai Sheng.
Oh, is that so? And I kind of like turn around
to kneel down and pet Bob and I talk into my torque and I'm like
Manny. Can I just?
Think can I just? Can I just fake swearing fealty
or is Kaishen gonna know? Oh, that's asshole.
He's pretty greedy. He'll take just about any
swearing you give him. Well, perfect tight, a good one
off but. You sound like you guys look a
bit different there. Have you been?
Talking Have you been talking to Michael Polis?
Have I been talking to Michael Polis?
I Ash says. She's like, I haven't been
talking to Michael Polis. But then she kind of like,
pauses for a second. Her nose starts to bleed.
She's like, I don't think I have.
Yes. Like.
She says it was so much uncertainty now.
He asked the question of everyone else that's in the
group, which I think of which only Franklin would have any
leeway on the factor. He's got notes.
Yeah. So he he asked the question of
you, Franklin. Have you been talking to Michael
Polis? Why?
Why do you care? Franklin still is antagonistic
towards this God. He was like.
Oh, that was fucking bitch. He he probably told you that if
you release me, he's sounding like he's.
When I said Tide went off, I meant he he's he's sounding like
he's fair and deep into a bottle.
Put it lightly. She, she would probably tell you
that if you release me that I would probably explode the
tariff, which I mean, yeah, it's what, right, like right there,
but like bronze. Yeah.
You're gonna, you're gonna know that you're gonna steal that
world seed. You've probably been building
with it, right? That's what you're gonna do.
You're gonna steal that world seed.
And then and then we're going to rebuild the world in our image
and you going to be one of the gods that are at my table.
Oh, your table. I see.
I look at the others. Yeah.
I mean, that makes total sense. Like we should, we should
totally do that. I'm fine with genocide.
Genocide of the whole planet. Right.
What about you guys? I mean, but like, is that true?
Like she said that's what would happen.
But like, is that true theoretically if she said that
well. Yeah, I mean, I guess if she
said that, it would be bad. Yes, she would.
She would. She would probably have said
that if you released me, the world would.
Explode. And if you kill me, the world's
gonna implode because you know, no magic would exist and the
forces of nature that are built upon this world are magical.
And it would just. Make some noises there.
I don't know if those came through or not, but.
They did. We all start getting nosebleeds
and they're ringing in our ears. OK, if we free Manny, the world
explodes. If we kill Manny, the world
implodes. Right.
And if we leave up there the the world is fine, but we're trapped
in hell. And then exactly and, and if it
explodes, you know, like it's fine because I can just bring it
all back together and we can make it in our and we can make
it in our image. I hold my hand over the torque
like a phone as I whisper to the other guys.
So I'm pretty sure he's, it's basically blackmail, right?
Like either we free him and explode the world and become
gods under him, or we have to stay here forever.
And I don't know about you, but I don't negotiate with
terrorists. I am a terrorist.
I'm just looking at Franklin and I'm just kind of like nodding in
agreement. Like yeah, I don't like this,
but I don't say anything out loud.
Geez, Manny, you know, there's got to be some kind of third
option because like, aren't you sick of being there?
And like, I guess that's the thing too, is you want us to
release you so that you can become the God of everything and
then we are supported under you and we make our own world.
But how do you suggest that we steal the world seed when we're
in that place pouring Nosebleed? That we can't actively try to
harm anyone or steal anything or do anything bad.
Yeah, actually would Ezra and Regina have a Nosebleed?
Cause they've gone through this not as many times as we have.
I feel like Ash is just kneeling down and just petting Bob the
crocodile and she's kind of shaking and there is just blood
coming out of both nostrils and her eyes are like fully dilated
because she's like, I don't want to blow up the world.
I want to rule the world. I don't want to blow up the
world. I want to rule the world.
And she's just like. Ezra for sure would just be
staring at you guys like what? What's going on?
You see us all bleeding. And Regina, I mean, you, you,
you at least understand what the world seat is, which was the
Lego device that you were helping build from a secondary
perspective, tertiary perspective.
Yeah. So, so you, you, you're familiar
with it. And in in the sense that you may
have a like your, your eyes are bloodshot at the most.
OK, No, no bleeding. Correct.
I take out a book that I have. I recently got this book.
How do you know what's really real?
And it's it's, it's teaching me. Things and and well, I'm sorry
guys, I don't mean to. It's really good right now.
Yeah. Again, vomiting blood.
I'm going to be like, all right, we're Angeles.
And I kind of just try to like end the call with man.
We'll get there. We need some sort of psychic
defense. Oh wait, I attuned.
I attuned the Ring of Mind Shielding.
I don't know if that helps me at all, but.
Yeah, I've that new circle that I bought.
It's sitting on my head, I don't know how long it takes to attune
it. I thought we had to like spend
like 8 hours. Or so, but it is on top of my
head. We'll do it overnight.
And I'm going to stand up and turn around to the two guard
goblins real quick, blood still coming out of my nose.
And I'm just going to pull out like a handkerchief out of
nowhere and just kind of like wipe my face off real quick and
just be like, yeah, we can swear fealty.
That's no problem. And I seen jittery.
OK. Then just to be clear, you're
you're, you're going to be purged of all substances
including those MSG you're aware, right?
I'm sorry, we're going to be purged of all substances,
including MSG. You mean from our bodies or from
our persons? Oh, just just from your bodies,
you know, just so the fealty sticks.
Oh, OK, He's saying that 'cause he thinks I just did a line off
of a crocodile. Yep.
That's what I just do. I just do lines off of
crocodiles in front of a church and I'll be like, yeah, that's,
that's totally fine. And I'm like, and I just turned
to the others and I'm like, hey guys, do you want to go swear
fealty too? Oh God.
I guess. And I kind of get.
The Purge. A wink to Franklin and I just
kind of like give him a little hand gesture, like meh, fealty
meh. I do it without trying to keep
it from sight of the goblin guards and I start marching up
the stairs with me and my crocodile.
And the one closest to you opens the door and you hear a chanting
from inside. I'm sorry, is there a pimp on
this? Yes, so much yes.
Is this God a pimp? Pimp God, the God of pimps.
There has to be one. If everyone is walking in with
me, I'm going to kind of like lean down towards Franklin and
just very gently whisper, I'm like that little fancy package
you were talking about. This should be the place where
we deliver it. I'll look around.
I mean, that's true. We probably wouldn't be able to
actually hit like the rest of the city, but if we wanted to do
like, just this place, Yeah. I'm a little concerned about
this whole, like, purging corruption from us when we're,
like, pledging fealty to this guy.
What? I can't do a binding oath?
I've already got one. I'm gonna whisper to him.
Like, just cross your fingers, right?
That's how it's not binding. Oh.
I know what, you know what? No, no, no.
Next to Bob again and I'm going to cast Speak with Animals.
OK. And I'm going to ask him.
I'm like, can we fake an oath without getting caught?
Do you know of any way we can do this well?
Mistress, that's an interesting question you've got there, but
he kinda eyes you skeptically just considering your guys's
relationship and all too. And he goes, I have to say,
well, that's. It's all in the wording.
It's all he does. And you guys are walking to this
very large steepled church that has goblins lined up to one
side. It looks like a there is molten
metals of some sort on one side, which they are working on off to
the right side as you guys walk in and you're hearing a chant,
if not more of a prayer that's kind of emanating throughout the
entirety of it. That goes more always more well
flows to the worthy and I am worthy and it and they just
continue to repeat in in infinite C, so.
More. Always more.
Wealth flows to the worthy, and I am worthy just resonating
through the Church. So I'm gonna stop where I have
my character stopped just like past the first Pew or the last
Pew. Mm Hmm.
And I'm gonna kind of look around.
And so all the people that are chanting or look or dress very
similar. Yeah.
And then the one person that stands out to me is that a.
Pastor standing at a a sort of altar of sorts and he's he was
reading through it looks like some things and he sees you walk
in you all and are very distinctly not goblin and he
limps over with a hard left leg and a cane and his flamboyant
where and he just goes what's up what's.
Up. Oh, wow.
Hi. I just shoot him a really big
grin and I'm like, hello, you are so energetic.
It's so lovely in here. I try to keep things up and
coming, but you know, all of my flock aren't always of the same
mind. But you just gotta take a
little, right? Link if I'm you.
Had to catch my drift. You said the right link.
Yeah, we have to click the correct link.
It was more of a a stupid reference to Tiddlywinks and
Tiddle, the white right wink. I just nod my head and I'm like,
yes, so we came to admire this beautiful temple 'cause we are
new to the area. And I kind of like give a little
bow and I give my name. I'm like, my name is Ash.
And then I introduce my friends and I'm like, this is Franklin
and this is Ezra and this is Regina.
I don't mention Bob. I don't say anything about the
alligator, but I do try to like keep very close to him or keep
my hand on him if at all possible.
I know he's really low to the ground.
I might not be able to do that. And I just like am gesturing
very like big gestures to my friends.
And I'm like, we just came to admire your beautiful temple and
see what all the hubbub was about.
Yes, well, now that you're here, you've got to.
You probably heard from the gods that were that you've got to
swear fealty. Yes, I believe they said we had
to swear, swear fealty to. And I turned back and look at my
companions and I was like Kai Shen.
Do you read me, Madam? Wait.
The only thing that I asked beyond that?
Is. Nothing, because you can just
simply pay me for whatever you want.
So let me clarify a little bit. So we swear fealty to you and
then we pay you for favours or not.
Not you to Kai Shen. Yes, yes, yes, Kai Shen.
Pay you for. Services.
Yes, exactly. If you would want anything that
I can certainly get a hold of. I'm.
Simply here to. Serve any winks.
Instead of giving fealty to Pasha, do you want us to give
you buddy like a bribe? No, no, no, no, no, no.
We'll bribe you, no. You, you got, you got a.
Film where the field is to kaishen and.
Then we need to pay you to do stuff that seems like.
Only. Only if you want stuff done.
Yeah, we had to pay some guys to get to a bar the other day.
I gesture at the two skeletons that are following me.
Oh, I think. They were still in the pocket
racket. That's fine.
They're they're in a POG rocket. I forgot it's been a bit and
that didn't add well for them. Let me just say.
Well, I mean, like I said, you you don't have to order.
Any of my services and you're simply served.
Just as as Kaishen wills it. And well, the swearing to filthy
is simply the phrase that you hear uttered everywhere.
Nick, you guys would hear again, more always more wealth flows to
the worthy and I am worthy. More.
Always more. Yep.
More always more wealth to the worthy.
I am worthy. Interesting, So if we swear a
fealty, is it like a magically binding contract?
Like how does that work? Yeah, well, a little bit.
If you try to leave the temple at this point, there might be
some ramifications if you don't utter this phrase.
I haven't really experienced that in my lifetime.
Just walking through the door is just a big trap.
Yeah, kind of. Like do the others.
I'm very tempted to tell Bob to leave just to see what happens.
I mean, I could send one of my one of my insects to see if they
explode. But what insects need to swear
fealty he would that be something that this God ignores?
That's true. If that.
Well, here's the thing. If I'll try to send one through,
because if they can't, then we could send to them and I could
speak through them and control them and we could order some
dynamite like a Domino's delivery or Dynamite delivery.
Yeah, just give them each like a a precious gem to go pay for the
dynamite. With I pull one of them.
I I pull one of them out from my show, I'm just like, well, bud,
you're a turd. I toss them through the door.
What do? You.
Do. Then he goes to the door with
your command. Nice.
And what was your command again? Just clarifying.
I mean, I just want to see if he dies, go through the doors, see
what happens. Like the guy says that we walk
through the door and if we go back the other way, something
bad will happen. So we're gonna see what that.
I'll do my best. And Jim walks through the door.
The guards kind of ignore him, but then you see just through
the doorway just before it closes, and potentially even
through the eyes on I can see right a large thing from above.
You could roll perception if you'd like.
Oh yeah, 14 + 418 your.
Eyes as the dire cricket resolve around a flat plate that you
realize is attached to a long stem of a hammer.
That was the statue as you guys walked in the cricket.
And he is no more. God I can't, I pull back guys, I
just experienced death again. That was great.
I cracked my neck. My eyes are black so it looks
like when the cricket goes through, the large statue that
was there smashes up with a hammer.
I kind of like nod my head and I was like, I figured it'd be
something along those lines. I turned back to our Do we call
this a priest? Our servicemen.
Baby. And I so I was kind of, while
talking to some of the citizens on this level of hell, they made
it sound like as if Kai Shen was here and that we could just sit
down and have a nice chit chat with him.
Oh you certainly, most certainly can.
Once you swear you're fealty then you will have fun Fealty
with the God Kai Shen. He's so he's in the building.
Well, I mean after a man of speaking.
Oh no. Yeah, I was gonna say.
Take. Physical form.
Take physical form, if that was what you were referring to here
on most occasions, and that's given a very generous offering.
Can I tell if this guy's giving us the rigmarole 'cause this
sounds like a load of BS? Yeah, I'll assist.
What's your insight? My insight is a + 9.
Yeah, what about? What is the other TV doing?
Yeah, I heard from them for a second.
Yeah, I feel like we're talking a lot.
I don't mean to like not give you guys any air time.
How is your SO the situation? Is fine.
Everybody, everybody, Ezra's just spying.
Everybody's suspiciously like, are they getting close to
Regina? Are they going to try stealer?
Oh boy, he got. It hard.
Have you tried to bite any of the patrons of this dog?
Yeah. Thinking about it, he's thinking
about it. What about Regina?
What's she biting? I'm just waiting to the go to
and I'm gonna bite somebody's toes off.
Toes bite them off. Yes, correct, right off, full
force. I'm just scoping it out.
I'm sensing if there's gonna be any, any hostility going down
and I'm I'm ready. I rolled an insight check of 13.
You know. For a fact that he's.
Saying to what he believes the truth is to the utmost of his
potential. OK, OK.
So he definitely believes what he's telling us, even though it
sounds like a load of bull. Yeah.
They're trapped. Yeah, I feel like.
Franklin starts hyperventilating.
I hate being trapped. It's like being trapped in a
cellar and a whole chained will have him to eat bugs until he
die. I kind of pat Franklin on the
shoulder and I'm like, don't worry, we are definitely going
to get out of here. And I turn to the preacher and
I'm just like, OK, I think it's quite fine to swear fealty.
And I recite the chant more, Always more.
What was it? Wealth to the worthy.
And I am worthy. Great.
And I do it very showily, like I put on a whole performance.
All right. OK, so.
That's a natural one. Though I was gonna say I rolled
a Nat one but I have a + 13 and I actually I think I have a
skill that means Nat ones don't affect me but I don't remember
what is. What's your race?
Yeah, I was gonna say, I know you're not changeling.
Changeling Rd. Rogue Bard.
Cause hobbits have or hobbits, yeah, halflings.
Halflings have lucky foot or something like that.
That's what I always do when I call it.
But it's like lucky lucky chance where you can have you, you
reroll 1 Nat ones basically. Yep, super.
Powerful. If you can find that while I'm
just mulling over, let me know, but otherwise I would say that
Bob got in your way while you're trying to do your performance
and you tripped over Crocodile Bob and landed back down with
your head facing up towards the pimp creature.
OK, So the thing I was I was thinking of is Jack of all
trades. So no, I don't.
I, I I am still affected by that one.
All right, your head is in between Pimp Preacher's legs and
looking up at him. What's his name?
I've just been calling him Pimp Preacher.
Currently, he has not recited his name.
And preachers, I think a very apartment name.
OK, yeah. So I would say I, I, I go to
start saying the chant or the fealty and I try to do it very
flourishingly, trip over Bob land on the ground.
And as I land on the ground I kind of just like huff out and
finish saying the chant anyways while laying on the ground.
And he goes well. I Shen is.
Very appreciative of your position currently.
Looks up and around like anyone anyone's looking.
Starts to lower himself. I let out a chuckle and I get up
and I'm just like, I'm sure very many would be appreciative of
that position and I just like raise my eyebrows at him as I
stand back up. Tell anyone follow suit or
everyone else standing back farther and trying to look at
her education lesson. What just happened between those
people? I don't know, but I think I know
and I got a different kind of Nosebleed, no?
Are they playing leapfrog or? Wrestling.
Playing leapfrog and failing. Let's say I've never played it
like that before. I wouldn't play.
I wouldn't recommend playing it like that, that that kind of and
I'm like dusting myself off. I would say that's that way is
less fun. I was trying to do the flourish,
by the way, like trying to do the flourish so that if I said
it, that would be enough. And maybe not everybody had to
say it, but I don't know if that worked the.
Flourish. Yeah, the flourish where I fell
on my back and landed with my face under him, and I just
turned back to Pimp Preacher and I'm like, I just put a hand on
my hip and I kind of give him like, a sultry smile.
And I'm like, is that good enough for our swearing fealty?
Well, miss, I don't. Know because I think it would be
good enough for you, but I didn't hear the words from
everyone else. Feel Ash, She's feeling
different. Do I notice any difference?
You probably do not notice any particular difference, although
the people that are standing currently over here are paying
less attention, which it seems to be a flock of those guard
looking individuals that are burning skinned kind of magma
looking almost goblins that are working on some metal with a
giant hammer. It looks like two at a time are
holding the hammer and two others are holding it some tongs
while another is situating some of the the the coals as well as
another 5:00 on the other side are handling the billows to the
forge almost. Ezra will attempt to try to, I
guess, pledge like Ash did. All right.
I I promise to go the person I will follow but if anybody
touched my pup. I eat you.
Praise God. Hey, Bad.
You're performing and. You do better than me.
You, you would have you. You would know the phrase being
said around you because it's it's still being said currently
even which is more always more well, close to the worthy and I
am worthy. Not sure if you repeat that
necessarily in that phrasing as well or not, but that is what is
being said. Oh God.
That's coming as you already set the bar.
I mean, you, you set the bar really low for me, but I'm still
worried. Oh God, more Ash 11.
You were able to stumble that you've says other things and it
seems other than Ash yourself, you both feel a washing over you
of a vague acceptance, almost as if you were no longer a threat.
No longer a threat, no longer under scrutiny.
Correct. Yeah, everyone else that's still
there, Franklin, and it feels almost as if someone is looking
over your shoulder while you're trying to finish a test.
All right, my entire life. Regina's gonna give it a whirl,
I suppose. Ezra whispers over to Regina.
Make sure tell them dad will eat them.
Regina Moore always flows. Dad will eat you more to the me
and 10. It's good, it's good.
I like it. Roll that.
Roll that performance. I got a 10.
Oh OK, that's what the 10 was. I thought you were saying just
10 for some reason. More, always more.
But I only want 10. 10 is more flows, 10 flows more to me. 10
So yeah, you're you feel the scrutiny slightly washed over
you, almost hesitantly, but does so.
OK. Oh, thank.
Thank Kai. Franklin is the only one left.
Look around at you guys. I don't know I I could try this,
but I, I already have pledged to quite a number of things.
Let's see what happens. Well, we're I'll begin repeating
after them. What is it?
What was it more always more God, What was it I?
Forgot more always. More wealth flows to the worthy,
and I am worthy. Bore always bore.
Wealth flows to the worthy. Had I had worthy?
That's my dad's eyes completely blacked out.
Performing. A5 He's picking his nose the
whole time More. Just that finger as far up there
as he can get. You feel the certainly intense
on you, intensify on you. And look around.
What do you want? I told you I already made a
bunch of others like promises. Look around at the general Rome.
You feel a resonating coming up from the ground, and that's what
everybody senses. But from your perspective,
Franklin, it sounds like a voice that is rumbling through the
whole chamber that. Says you must relinquish your
cause for mine. What's your cause?
Wealth for wealth I. Cannot relinquish my cause.
My cause is vengeance and revenge.
It drives me. It fuels me.
It's the only reason I'm still not a corpse.
As I'm saying this, my like body starts to like decay visibly in
front of you guys if I relinquished my oath.
I would die. Then you shall die.
Perfect time to call it for the night, but everyone will be
rolling initiative next time. Oh no.
Yeah, I was gonna say, Ash has been traveling with Franklin,
and even if she did just swear fealty very half heartedly to
some random God, she's gonna see us with Franklin.
Yeah, and I think this is probably the first time you guys
have fully seen him go like Necro Franklin.
Yeah, 'cause there's been like itty bitty hints, but not that
you were necrotic. I think that you were just
demonic. Well, so I am, I am undead with
a with a like a warlock patron. So the whatever the undead
patron is. So I'm like a demonic undead
thing. And just for your perspective on
the matter, you would see the pimp preacher just backing up
with his hands, but you would look around at the rest of the
chamber and out of the molten magma, the another creature
about the same size, which is about the size of that table
over there. I'll just, I'll just turn these
on real quick before we sign off here.
OK, That was on map layer. That was the wrong layer.
Oh well. Is this?
A croc man. With a molten hammer of sorts.
They are solid metal and stone golem looking creatures that
crawl out of One crawls out of the molten magma that is in the
forge and the other one was being forged currently.
And at the same time, the statue that's at the end of the hall
that you guys realize starts to animate as well as you hear a
thudding outside of the door of the other statue that seems to
animate that has no crushed a cricket before.
Cool, cool. Love it.
I'm sorry guys, I don't want to die.
The the, the last thing I guess Ezra say he'll does before we
roll out. He's going to work out he's
shifting, you know, before we start this.
Yeah. So full Wolfman mode.
Wolfman mode's going. Oh yeah, we'll keep it in mind
for next time. I just wanted to give you a a a
picture to gain towards but that.
Sounds like a next week's going to be a great fight.
Are all of the little like cultists also reacting or are
they just kind of zoned out as well?
I didn't. Say they're like all fuck.
All of them have turned towards you by this point beside the
preacher that's got their hands up, kind of like watching
themselves of the situation. The rest of them have turned
towards you and giving you more than the hairy eyeballs worth of
almost looking possessed at this point.
All right, No Fear. We have to kill them.
All right. Doesn't matter if they're
innocent, right? They're exactly.
Right you guys two week, two week goal convince everyone that
is in the deep is the need to join you.
Just kidding. Hey everyone who normally plays
in the Evil campaign, please come back.
We've got to kick some booty and we're with what is it?
We've got Franklin and Ezra and Regina and I don't know how
Regina doesn't combat because I think I've seen her fight once
and she got exploded by King Mall.
And Ash is designed not for combat, so this is going to be
fun. I'm a support character.
Ezra's designed to fight. But it's a level 2.
Yeah. Oh fuck, I forgot about that.
We should have done the genocide.
We should have done it's. OK, guys.
Mom, Mom's got a gun. Mom's got a gun.
Yeah, I'm a little bit more combat oriented now, but more
one-on-one. That'll be good.
Picking up like combat spells but a lot of them are like mind
fuckery. I've got a lot of control and
I'm building a fear lock character.
So when I'm not actively supporting and casting heels and
having you guys attack on my turn, if I have to fight, I'll
lock people down, I'm in. I designed to lock people down
in combat so they can't move or run or do anything.
Well, I just like dismantle them but.
Yeah, it sucks. See how it goes.
And then all you have to do corpses to Regina for her mom.
Yeah, we can get mom all beefed up.
Mama's hungry. Mama's hungry.
I see a whole lot of Dun den all.
Right. Good.
Games, everyone. It was good, but yeah, I need to
get off here and go to bed. Good.
Night, everyone. Good night.
