Hello Fair listener, welcome and thank you for following our
journey on meta gaming by Room Propelled Gaming.
Fair warning, sometimes we are not safe for work and others not
safe for real life. Journey forth at your own risk
and. Fucking Craig.
I'll just leave with this. Then to the hand of fate tosses,
the dice rolls, spins, turns, and a campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that become stories.
Stories flow out into the infinite sea, painting it with
legends. Legends wash up on shores
throughout the infinite sea, fading to myth until myths are
forgotten and the campaign that gave it birth comes again and
again. The hand of fate tosses, the
dice rolls, spins, turns. Tonight we'll be introducing
Phelan. So what?
What? Can you see the screen, Brett?
Yes, yes, it's it's like very grayscale.
But yes, I can see it okay, because I haven't given you a
character yet. Do you see the ones that I'm
moving around? No the tokens that I've.
Moved around. I don't see any tokens, I just
see the lovely table top. OK, maybe I have to give you
control of. That's odd.
I would have expected you'd be able to see them at least.
Am I supposed to be seeing something on my map?
You should all be on the table at this current instant in time,
so as long as you see that, then you're good.
And I'm going to try. Nope, not what I want.
Controlled by save. Oh, now I see him.
OK, that's interesting. Can you do you want that one,
this one or? I like this one that I'm moving
around more than the third one too.
Yeah, okay. So that's what you have for
tonight. You can get back to me with a
different token if you'd like, yeah?
Soon, but you've now found yourself from wherever you were
going, about whatever you were doing on top of a ginormous
table with ginormous implements of mundanity, it seems.
Books. Keys, coins, a compass, some
candles. You're standing on top of a
piece of paper that's larger than your house, probably, and
it says the Tar Taurus. The path unfolds.
Wow, this is so deja vu wild. So what does Phelan do?
She's gonna. Well, we're just going straight
for the candles, because that's fire and fire's fun.
OK, just staring. Staring into the flame or.
Oh shit, No way. I shouldn't do that.
I'm a drought. I can't go to light.
That's a bad thing. Never mind.
It burns. No it.
Burns so good. I mean, a drought can still have
like an like, be obsessed with like, explosions and burning
things. Yeah, no.
I like fire. Fire's fun, but light's not fun.
Yeah, how bright would those giant candles be?
Yeah, Yeah. OK.
Yeah. I guess that that's the real
first question. Would I still be able to see
with the fire? I mean, you might get a little
dazzled staring into it just as you.
Blow any other any other light, but you're still disoriented
enough to have probably looked into it deep enough to go ohh
shit. I guess it's still fire.
It's you're still questioning the reality currently, but you
know. I got.
I got that Sunlight sensitivity. That's fun, all right?
This is always so fun to decide which way to go about this.
I would kick shit off of stuff too, again.
Absolutely. I'm gonna kick all the coins
off. All of them this time, not just
one. So you immediately go to the.
Coin or try to I'm not very strong over the table and go
ahead and enroll me a strength check.
That's not gonna go well. These coins are about as large.
The smallest one is about as large as you.
The biggest one is even larger. Oh my God.
Let's say that's a negative 10. I rolled a natural one and I
have a -2 to strength. I've never rolled a negative
before. This needs to be documented.
Mark this day? Nope.
That's too much for this. That's too much for this.
Yeah. Jesus Christ.
Still. Oh my God, that's for damage.
You probably broke your foot as you're trying to kick.
It I'm at half health now because I'm a baby.
What is your character? A little world, baby?
Are you just because you're level 1?
No, it's because I'm level 1 and I'm a sorcerer and I tried to
roll a a a D4 but it it gave back.
Damage. Ohh.
No. So yeah, foot broke.
I'm gonna be very annoyed about that.
Let's see, you were able to nudge it at least though it you
know it moved not off the table like you wanted, but.
Ohh, I'm gonna be still. OK.
Question. Can I use magic?
Yeah, ohh dude, that's gonna piss me off so much.
I'm gonna. I'm gonna use sword burst, which
essentially I create a momentary circle of spectral blades that
sweeps around me, and all creatures within 5 feet must
succeed on a dexterity saving throw or take damage.
And I'm centering this on the coins.
I know they're not creatures, but I'm pissed.
Oh my God. I'm not counting that you hit
him. I just rolled to see if there
was. Any there you go.
That's how much force damage if they would make the DC saving
throw, which honestly they they should have negatives to that
anyways. So even though I rolled a
natural 20, disregarding that, they take the three damage and
it does get launched off to the side of the table.
It's floating, though slowly off into the distance you see as as
the last time you you, you yourself, Barrett remembers.
But you also noticed that it's not moving quite as quick as it
was Barrett would have remembered it from, so it it it
went. But not very fast.
Hmm, interesting. So other shit that I can kick
off, I don't know about kicking. The candles are probably as big
as a small little tower that you.
Or at least a Hut. Sorry, small little Hut.
The keys are as big as horses. You're you're thinking and
you're looking at the cards and you're wondering whether or not
you could crumble them up and maybe at least get them to go.
Then there's a dice that are probably about half as big as
you, but still quite large. And again, the paper comes back
to mind and in the books maybe or that that are very large, but
you'd have to try and get to them and not sure what else
you're doing there. And again, you're seeing above
you, you know, an expanse of stars and never expanding void
beyond the table. I mean, I got magic missiles, so
that could be something. But we're not gonna use.
I don't know. I'd be over this.
I'd wanna jump. All right.
Is that what you're doing? Yeah, I'm gonna jump.
All right, you jump off the describe to me how you're
jumping off the edge of this table, actually.
I guess, OK, I kind of picture it like the Assassin's Creed
free falling when you synchronize with the land, you
know, I think so. But you're not getting any
landing motion currently. I meant more so of how you're
how you're leaping off the edge. Are you?
Are you running and jumping? Are you getting to the edge and
like going down on our all fours to add up like a projectile
motion to yourself if you can imagine what I'm saying there
with that or. Yeah, no, I like what you're
saying. It's like a spinning,
backflipping, like, what are you doing to get off of the table?
I mean, I was imagining more of like, I stand on the edge and
literally just lean forward and fall forward.
Arms spread out as if you're embracing an old friend.
I got you. Yes, yeah.
Ah, gravity. I missed you so much and
hopefully that wasn't that wasn't the the idea because as
you lean down into the void, it does seem to pull you off of the
edge of the table with a slow amount of force.
But you, you feel almost not as if you were rushing off the side
of a building or or or jumping down a long shaft into a mines
that you may have been used to. But it's more so of just this
sensation of slow falling, almost as if you're hovering and
it's distinctly hard to tell up from down as you're floating.
It feels like almost and you look back but to for a sense I
would assume to to the table and you do see that it is receding
away from you and the next thing you notice is is we'll come back
to that. So that's not fair then and
enters. Just the chat.
A ball of chaos. This is the evil campaign.
It's fitting. Yeah, don't worry guys.
I'm really charismatic. I'm gonna manipulate everyone.
We'll see about that. And I'm just getting everybody
over to the other map here or we start.
So Vamira, Mame on this map. So Vamira, Mame and Ash.
I'll start with Ash. Actually, you feel a falling
sensation, almost as if you were falling awake.
And your consciousness arises in in you as you come to and you
realize you're not where you thought you'd fallen asleep.
As As for Vomaira and Mame, you walked into the Acropolis last
and we're looking at it piling piles of rattling bones.
You only can tell from the sound that they were bones.
And your next sensation is that of almost falling asleep and
your consciousness recedes from you.
That sensation right before you're asleep, that falling
where you almost wake yourself back up.
And as you feel yourself jerk yourself back, awake from that
sensation, you know away from that falling asleep sensation of
almost trying to catch yourselves, all four of you,
including Phelan, you get the that same sensation that I last
described. Open your eyes to A and
everybody can see right and move the cursor over.
I see something. Oh my.
I see a bunch of round. Big masses?
Oops, wrong button right? Yeah control L Why is that one
not working? Ohh maybe the the map I good.
Zoom tight, good zoom tight. Yep, need to turn that.
On ohh thank you. Dynamic leading needs to be
turned on. That's easy to forget.
Did that work? I can only see my token now,
it's a void of black. I still see the whole map.
Interesting. I'm in.
The also see my character in a void of black.
I'm gonna say I don't even see my character.
Wait, you should be down here, You.
See my character? I'm just a white dot because I'm
zoomed all the way out. Now now it's just my character.
Avoid of black. Let me see what?
That axe look good. Shit, that's good.
Oh no. Speaking of axes, did anyone get
the axe from Braga car? Braga car?
Yes, I did. And I've been holding on to it
as a Trakira. Oh, OK, until they meet Mame.
Why is Braga car in South familiar the boss at the end of
Jess's? Ah yes.
Ah, why is this? Oh, I wonder if I've got to turn
the. So this is on explorer mode on
daylight mode. There we go.
That's the other thing. I forgot to turn on.
Come on. Hello network.
Ah, there we go. Yeah, there we go.
Now I'm in a. Round room.
Yeah, one room. I can.
Probably to rule them all. Another desk.
Is it mahogany? Mahogany, mahogany.
You guys all find yourselves standing almost in a perfect
line before you start moving just so just so we'll get this
introduction over a a Raven, A Raven haired person.
Can you can you everyone see right?
Yeah. Somebody sitting at a desk.
Yes, I just went more foggity. Hold on, I'm gonna reload.
My screen went white. Let me.
I'm. I'm reloading.
To see if that is what happened. Okay.
I'm also gonna check from your character's token.
Yeah, you should be able to see I I was checking from
everyone's. Yeah, because I saw stuff and
then I like was clicking around and then it went white.
No worries. You can keep going.
I'll let you know. Besides the person with the
muhogan desk, you with Raven hair see him sitting with red
robes looking through it looks like some sort of ledgers
perhaps, but definitely some sort of bookkeeping and
otherwise. In the room is a softly
trickling content with a wall of books behind the person and a
globe that is very well made off to the left of the the desk.
And some soft seated chair. Not chair sofas actually.
And you see behind the person in the desk a set of stairs, one
going up, one going down, and behind you, a door way that is
filled with stone So it doesn't appear to be an actual doorway
because it leads to nowhere. There is not even a door in it,
but we all fake. Doors, he looks up from his
letters and he goes, well, then it's like we have some
challenges to the tower. Challenges, yes.
Challenges indeed, where you find yourself in the Infinite
Tower. It spans many a verse and many a
song. That's a pun if you didn't get
it. But we here at the Tower like to
pride ourselves on the first timers and the introductory to
such. The farther you get in it, the
better your reward is. It goes up.
It goes down. It goes upwards and backwards.
But any which way you go you'll find that you'll eventually die.
But don't worry, it's OK. You'll only die on this plane.
You might not be able to ever come back again but it's it's
don't don't worry about that. Well if you really need to I I
can explain more about it but it's it's nothing to worry
about. What?
Plane is this. It is a plane with out limits.
The only limits, the only limits that are set here are those that
I did divine. I'd gotten tired of all the
other rules and eventually worked my way out of the system.
Did he say his name? He did not.
I asked him. I'm like who, pray tell, are
you? To just set all the rules and
then he he he he closes the the book completely sets his finger
on it and turns it around and you see in this elaborate
scrolling text across it ishamel.
Does my character recognize this name your ash.
Go ahead and roll me a history check.
Yeah, give me a moment cuz there we go.
I was like my page just reloaded.
A history check. Yes, please. 16 You recognize it
as a divine figure, one who is is said to have been not frowned
upon by the other guards. But just the word I'm looking
for here admonished from the gods almost as if scoffed at in
the and wait even low key, even even low key.
Who who they only ever talked about infinite power and
infinite possibilities and just the infancy of of all existence
but was laughed at amongst the gods.
As you know. Yes sure, but I can deal with
you just a flick of my wrist kind of thing.
But eventually, probably, they would have gotten tired of him
and his babblings and given him his own universe so that he
could do whatever he wanted in, you know, to leave him the fuck
alone. They gave him a playroom so that
he would go away. Yep.
OK, cool. Probably means he gets really
upset if he loses at his own games then.
So we can't die. Just to frustrate him, Yes.
And then he opens the book again after pointing to that and said
says, Oh well, I you know my name, Who might the challenges
to the tower be? And he opens up to what looks
like a blank page with a graph in it.
A blank page cuz he's asking our names and he does pull out a
quill, yes. What if I don't want to give you
my name? Yeah, little thing.
It's gonna make it particularly hard to give you the rewards.
You just said we were gonna die. Oh yes, but only in this plane.
When you go back to the other planes, I'll be able to, you
know, slip a few things to you. What are the rewards?
Oh, it depends upon how high you get.
How high we get in the tower? Well, you know, up, down, left,
right. Doesn't matter.
Yes. Flaws how high we get.
How far? How far we get?
Through the tower I re get my bag and I pull out a brick of
MSG and I sniff a little bit off the top I I give.
I give Ash the eyes and like, raise my eyebrows like, hey, did
it feel like Sharon? I hand some over to her.
Like, absolutely. I.
Pull out my little spoon I. Think it's pretty nice?
Big big Sniff. Do we have to roll anything for
this sort of just going to general checks, I think it's in
the pinned, I'm just. Yeah, it's in the pinned I I
really should be like playing her addiction more than I have.
Yeah, I thought I I was gonna say, I thought you were pretty
well addicted, but you've pretty much hit it every session.
So that's the only time that addiction seems to have any bad
effects. Although once you do get to a
certain point, there's. I haven't gone on Bender yet, so
yeah yeah exactly. So both of you with the hit is a
+ 10 to movement and advantage on dexterity and strength throws
and rolling and rolling for initiative.
But you have disadvantage on Wisdom and and Intelligence
saving throws currently. Wisdom and intelligence, OK?
And you cannot sleep. Ohh.
Well, we're about to die, so that's okay.
Even magical sleep will not work.
I like that. I like that.
That's. For the weekend, so and yeah,
might as well roll a Wisdom save currently, which you have
disadvantage at what? For for the addiction that you
mentioned. I went through my roles too.
I think you were already addicted, but the this is going
up in the stages. Assure me both of you who had
that so you were at already at stage 1 is what I was saying.
Though I would say that you're already stage 1, thus will not
apply for. Your wisdom technically has a
permanent -1 from it, and it takes 2 times as much to.
Trigger Amazing. The same lower number for both
of you. Yeah, I was gonna say I rolled
an 8 as my disadvantage. Yeah, eight's my disadvantage as
well. So yeah, you went up to Stage 2
with that and you went to stage one.
I feel like I need to change that, but we'll we'll see how it
goes. So you have you're you're
addicted to MSG now, Ash and you know stage one, which is
permanent. I'll just copy and paste these
into the Cool cool. Good thing I have a giant brick.
Yeah, you can't. At least you didn't get any crit
failures. It triggers an overdose.
No. Right at the beginning.
That would kind of suck. Literally dies immediately.
But that'd be bad. So yeah, you're Ulfa.
Well, animated, we'll say the least.
Depends on echoes, and Ishamel directs you behind him.
Just walk past through the fount founting there and you may
choose up or down from here as the first choice.
I I look at it and I'm like, wait, you don't want my name
now? I was gonna say deciding to
sorry, sorry. Yeah, that was a little
distracting. I thought any who your names so
that I may give you your rewards.
So Mama is going to step forward and say my name is Franklin.
It. Does Franklin have a last name
turtle? Turtle Franklin the Turtle.
It's a. It's a family name.
It's his last name. The turtle all one all one word
th apostrophe. Total.
Ah, I see. I will make sure that your just
rewards come straight to you. Franklin the total, and you
might be just keeping it in line.
Here he points to Vermeida Ah. Sleazing through the constant
verdict, I was a constant Did I mess that up?
I think so. That makes sense.
More sense than a Wisdom. So you guys could both reroll?
Both of us reroll. OK?
Yeah, cuz I. Get higher than an 8 and.
Nevermind. No, the other one got a four.
Oh, it's worse. At least it's not a crit.
All right. Well, we're still the same.
And Mommy, could you roll me a deception in the meantime, too?
I sure can if I would ever remember to pull up my character
sheet. So does Vamada introduce herself
or? Yeah, sure.
I'm set. Go ahead, Bob Mayra, he's
waiting. He's looking up at you over the
book so we can write it in. Nursery.
Ah, yes, let me write that just in here and next points over to
you Phelan with the for the book Phelan.
OK. Is that it?
So we only have to roll for the CON save if we use.
If we use the dust within 12 hours of the previous use, OK,
thanks for the. Heads up in the future, we just
have to. No thanks. 12 hours.
Yeah. Thanks.
Thanks for the rereading of that.
Yeah, and then? I'm gonna leave.
I'm not saying my last name, so just just failing then.
Yeah, OK, he says, almost questioningly.
Go ahead and roll Deception. Deception.
And you, Madam, points to the last in the row.
I very energetically I'm just just like my name is Ashlyn Croy
and you remember it. Ohh yes ma'am, I shall.
Is that all there is with the name or I'm sensing more?
That's all I'm going to give you.
OK, well, I really hope that these rewards are worth it.
He kind of looks off to the side and you might catch.
Him trying to, like, spill my whole name.
So you hope these rewards are worth it?
You're the one who's giving out the rewards.
I mean, are they worth it? There's something we should know
I they are, but you need to know that.
Simply put, if I can't allocate them to you, then I don't know
how worth any of them are gonna be.
It'll be fine. We can always come back and find
you and get them later. Well, it's kind of what I was
saying there. You really can't.
So you can't. Give alter dash if.
You have our whole name. What if people?
What if that's somebody's whole name?
What if they just have one name? That's awful presumptuous of
you. I I'm not presuming anything.
I'm just asking for clarity's sake.
You can also roll me a Deception Dash.
I wasn't trying to deceive him. I was just trying to just badger
him a little bit. Like, oh oh, you're so full of
yourself, you think you deserve everybody's name.
OK, no, I don't think that I deserve everyone's name, but
it's just simply, you know, as I mentioned.
I checked to see if he is just trying to get our names for
rewards or if he has like dastardly deeds for our names.
Absolutely. Wait, what's Insight?
Wisdom. So I have to roll again for a
disadvantage? No, because we determined that
you didn't have to roll the addiction yet.
OK, well then 19. Either which way he would, you
would know for. For pretty damn certain that
he's seeming exasperated by the whole conversation.
As if you know. Just get on with it and that
it's your own, your own fault if you don't get your rewards at
this point. I just sigh and I'm like, fine.
It's Mavolia Ashlyn. Desdemona Croix there, are you
happy? And I crossed my arms and I just
I yes, so. And he kind of just stares for a
second before he shakes his head and sounds it out.
As he's writing it all down, it's.
Very easy to spell, I'm sure. He, he, he tries to, he actually
starts spilling it out to you. And let's see how well he does.
It gets like 90% of it, right? Is that right?
I just look over and I'm like, that's.
I think that's right. OK, well, it's gonna be hard to
find anyone else with that long of a name, I guess.
So I guess we'll figure it out. But as I was saying, just
proceed past the fountain behind me here and you can go up the
stairs or down the stairs from here.
Up the stairs or down is so we. Can all go.
Yeah, I was gonna say. Should we proceed together?
As mom is walking past because that mom is gonna go investigate
the the wall with the doors. But as they walk past, we're
gonna take a second and stop and investigate this, this desk,
that, this, the desk that he's sitting at.
Uh huh. Ow is it mahogany?
Mahogany. Yeah.
And I'm just gonna like, I'm gonna look at it very closely.
How are you? How are you?
OK, that's what you wanna know. Go ahead and roll.
I'm like a bend over. I'm gonna like, like sniff it.
Like take one finger. Yeah, I'm gonna like run my
finger across it very gently. I'm gonna sniff it.
I'm gonna look almost like I'm gonna lick it, but I'm not.
You go. It's as let's actually roll for
him, yeah, let's see if he actually notices.
As he turns back to open his book and start reading through
it, he doesn't seem to notice, at least to you.
And okay, you are quite sure that that it's mahogany?
Okay. Can I tell where it's from?
Or can I just tell that it's a very nice mahogany desk?
What would you mean as in its origin?
Yeah, like, is it crafted in a certain way?
Like, is it from a certain region?
Is the the decor because it looks like it's engraved or
decorated or lacquered or whatever like can.
I tell can I tell from the way it looks where it might be from
or how old it might be? If it looks old, or if it looks
new, or I don't know, that would be more of a history check on
top of the investigation. So you're able, being that you
aren't a Craftsman yourself and probably don't have.
At least the experience I mean. So I have an appreciation for
wood for Max handles. But you're right, I'm not a a
Craftsman. I'm not like particularly in
tuned yeah. And for that too, you you, you
at least know that this was grown and harvested and is
definitely been hogany. And even with looking at it and
getting really close to tasting it, you know you're certain it
is not sentient. But you still wonder to yourself
whether it's not a magical or not HM.
Okie doke in origin. I just wanna know if I could
figure out where this guy was from.
Maybe or? But just cuz his tables from
somewhere doesn't mean he's from the same place indubitably.
I'm also gonna come over here and investigate this wall, but
other people can do stuff while I'm doing that.
You get right up onto the archway, are waiting for people
to pass through. With you.
Yeah, so I'm trying to see if I can tell who like which archway
is more taken, or is there like dust anywhere?
Does it look like one's more used?
What's this thing? That's a the thing in the middle
of the archways is the fountain he was referring to.
You can tell it's trickling softly off to either side and
then swirling down into a nice, serene little holding pool.
The water fresh. Very.
It's almost crisp. OK, I'm gonna fill up my water
skin. Make sure to put that in your
notes. You fill it up no problem.
While what's Ash doing? It looks like is.
I was just calling mommy but my screen messed up and now my
mouse is clicking off center so I'm just refreshing the page to
see if that makes sense. OK, what about Vomaira or
Phelan? We're just in a tower right now.
How do I You can tell it's you're in a very well crafted
cylinder of some sort. The walls are all curved on the
on the farthest exterior of the room that you're standing in
there is a central wall that connects the two sides of the
wall with an archway that the the fountain is trickling in the
middle of and on either side of the.
The straight wall in the center of the cylinder are is lined
with books facing the gentleman at the desk ischamel and behind
the archway are two sets of stairs.
Or rather yeah, one set going up, one zone going down.
So we can see through this though, because you said that
was a wall, but OK, Yep. All right, it doesn't look like
one side is used more than the other.
Not particularly. It almost just seems as if the
whole area around the fountain itself is used more than
anywhere else, even the bookshelves.
As you're looking at, you know, the scuffs on the floor seems
almost as if to he's waiting for you to leave so that he can go
back to the fountain and sit and potentially read.
Oh, before I leave this room altogether, I'm gonna walk over
here and look at this globe. Do I notice or is the is the
globe of Terrace or is it a world I recognize?
You distinctly realize that it is a globe of Tarath and there
are points on the globe that are marked.
And he looks up from his book and he goes, oh, you have an
intrigue in global positioning. Yes.
How? How fascinating.
I've studied that globe in particular for quite some time,
as it was one of my origin points, and somewhere else I'd
stored some other my, some other places I'd visited on another
world, he kind of mutters under urges breath.
But I hadn't made it too far on that before I got stuck here, so
I know that will quite well. So there's there's no way to get
back to. Taurus from here.
Oh, there is. As I'd mentioned, it's generally
of the deceased sort. But OK, but if you're stuck
here, then doesn't that mean we are stuck here?
No, I just don't wanna die. Sorry, but I've had accounts
from many of that I've left here.
Usually, interestingly enough, these books that I was left with
are populated with the person with simply the person's name,
and then it tells me how many levels they've made it up before
they die. And I've been in contact with
some brethren of mine, through my dreams, of course, and the
other means of magical connections to them to to let me
know that they did indeed escape my tower.
Brother and you have brothers, Yes, just a few, none of whom
are are so close to me anymore. But I do visit some time to
time, as I mentioned in my dreams or the like.
Gotcha. I'm gonna walk over to the
bookshelves. Can I ask him, can I take some
of these books? I would prefer?
You're not, and you could. You could look at them for a
time, but these are kind of my only entertainment besides
seeing how far folks make it in the Ishamel Tower here.
So that wasn't a no, I I couldn't.
I would not really fight you if if I'm being clear.
This stage of the tower is much more about rest and, you know,
information, so I guess that's a clue to what what lies ahead,
but you should probably leave them there if you don't wish me
any harm, that is. So mom is gonna pick one up and
look through it and you see ledgers upon ledgers upon
ledgers of names and how far they've made it into the
infinite tower. There are some that have made it
it. What you would perceive anyways
is very far, somewhere up into the teens of levels and and in
the book that you're holding. But none have made it into the
20s, even in the book that you're holding currently.
OK, so it just says the number of where they made it doesn't
have any other description. It doesn't say anything about
how they got there, the blanks that are next to their names.
There isn't. There is a number listed above,
and then there is. Each time that they've made it
up a level, it's filled in inside of the blanks as if there
is a filled in block. So there's a name and above
there's a number, and So what you're you're seeing is their
their name with, you know, 10 filled in blocks, three filled
in blocks, 4 filled in blocks, 15 filled in blocks, two filled
in blocks. You know what I mean?
OK, I see. OK, so OK, so it's not a number,
it's like a visual. I was just gonna say, are there
any negative numbers? No, there's always.
At least they've made it to one in every case that you're
filtering through. OK, so it doesn't tell you if
they've let's. One in the upwards direction or
in the downwards direction, correct?
OK, that's the absolute value. Whatever.
OK, All right. Well, since this doesn't really
have much good information, I guess I could burn it.
That might be useful later. I might need a fire.
But I don't really like you not doing this because I like you,
but you know, I put it back to maintain the bookshelf, I guess.
I don't know. I don't really like this place.
I'd be OK if it burned down, but.
You know I'll leave. Are you saying all of that out
loud or just. Yes, just staring at.
Me. I'm no, yeah I'm telling him
that like put it back as I'm like walking around.
Ohh fuck. I'm stuck behind the door.
I'm like yeah, so I'm not doing this for you.
I don't like you. I don't like this place.
But I guess you know right now I won't put it back on the shop.
I'm gonna leave it on the floor. OK.
Yeah. So you, you see him just kind of
like, well, I respect your decision then just kind of head
down and walk over to the book that's on the floor.
More of like shuffle over. I kind of really wanna take his
chair, but I won't see that. All right.
So I'm gonna walk over to the stairs.
I'm gonna indicate that I would like to go down the stairs.
But you know, in in the spirit of not splitting the party, I'm
gonna look at everybody else and wait and see what they do.
I'm just gonna follow me, me. I'm following the party.
I am a small squishy spellcaster.
Mommy really likes it when the party stays together.
We're slightly safer that way. I kind of skip.
I just feel weirdly happy for some reason.
Go for Myra. Were you jittering off to OK to
the downward direction is? Yeah, you all proceed down the
snares into what seems to be a darkening room.
Although as you get down into it, it's starts to lighten in
your vision a bit, only by the sense that your dark vision is
activating, so to say you're. You're ah, I have superior dark
vision, so you can see as if it's clear daylight.
No, it's still shades of Gray, but it's just up to 120 feet
instead, right? Then in your particular case,
yeah, I'm not. Yeah, I'm not sure where
everyone else stands on that matter, but.
So is anybody else having trouble with Like every time I
go to my character sheet the page refreshes.
Every time I go back to the map the page refreshes.
I am struggling with. Technology.
No, not for me, no. Guess it's a good thing my
imagination doesn't need to refresh, right?
So you guys are proceeding down these stairs into this darker
cavern? Other than yeah.
I actually don't know if I have dark vision.
I don't, but Mama has a silkstone, which is a glowing
blue rock from the shadow realm. We're going way back to pull
that one out, but it's in my backpack, so I'm gonna pull it
out. Good.
I also have the Cantrip dancing light which creates 4 torch
sized lights. Ohh fun fact I'm immune to fire
and cold. Yes, the armor plus the what was
the other thing that was cold, but I I remember that.
It's one of my like features anyway.
Sorry, I digress. OK, so I have a silkstone, so
it's giving me some sort of light.
Let me see if this works. OK, yeah, I just double checked.
I don't have dark vision, but if you are casting that fancy light
spell, I think I'll manage. I will.
Gladly cast that dancy light spell.
As soon. As you'll think, profusely
because, Oh my God, I couldn't see.
Thank God. Manny, you're here.
I assumes not everyone could see in the dark like me.
There we go. Kind of fun.
What about you, Vamada? I mean, I have dark vision.
Does it have a limited feel on that?
Yeah, I can't see. I have like a on your character
sheet of distance. 60 foot, 60 foot.
All right, save. OK, that's most of the room
there, it looks like. Still, as opposed to failing,
who can see all of the room in that and Ma may, I think the the
stone itself would only glow. Probably in like a 25 foot
range, but okay if we're if Ash has a torch, yeah, it's only 20
foot. Lot of torch, No.
That was from failing the torch light.
The dancy light, Dancy light that.
Does that have a disc light at all?
They're four torch sized lights and they can appear as either
torches. Lanterns are glowing orbs.
They shed dim light in a 10 foot radius, and foot it is.
So yeah, you have a I would assume you don't need to summon
all of them, so to say, you. Would just but I can like put
one at like each person's side might ruin Vermeira's night
vision. That's true.
Up to 60 feet away. And my own.
I'll just. I can send.
So I'm just gonna like periodically place them through
the space behind you, presumably so that you and vermata are kind
of leading the way down the stairs, I'm guessing.
Ohh yeah, you could attach one to like your back so that you're
aware. Just ohh that's cute.
I'll do that. Let me see.
I should definitely not be in front though, Verma.
I can be in yeah front. I'm squishy.
I'm I'm very happy to stay close to the dancing lights, but just
in case I need to, you know, wander away, I'm gonna keep the
stone out. I'll have it like trail behind
me by like 10 feet so that, like it doesn't disrupt my vision
either, OK? But then it sheds the light in
between. Like us.
I put it in 20 feet because I don't have a way to wait.
Maybe I do. Maybe, Maybe I do.
I think of I I have to just think more creatively.
One moment that don't make no sense.
Why would it do that? Go away.
Save. OK, so you want it to be an orb.
Yeah, it'll be a little floaty orb.
What color does your light take? That's such a good question.
Oh my gosh. A pretty color.
What do you perceive as pretty? Everything.
Oh. Her lights would be like a dim
red glow. Yeah, Wait,
you said 10 and controlled by safe.
That's a 10 for Tretius. Nice so trailing behind like
that. Yeah, and you have control of
that one. I didn't know if you.
That's so cool. Right, I was just messing with
it a little bit right there. You're good.
No, that's perfectly. If you need it to not fall into
a square. Fun fact, you can hold Alt and
we're outside, like in between squares or such 0.
My gosh, that's like The Sims anyway.
It's pretty helpful. I had no.
That was a thing. So that's trailing behind you,
as you said. But maybe mommy is like directly
in front of you, so just getting the tiny bits of benefits from
that. I don't know if you want all
four of them, or if you wanted just one still or.
Because it's mainly for the person who doesn't have dark
vision, which is to Ash and mommy.
You're realizing, yeah, as you're going down into the dark,
who are pausing and going wait a minute, I can't see.
And then I would be like, whoosh, there you go.
So there's one floating next to mommy.
Then maybe I should give it control to?
I mean, it's following me. I moved it.
There we go about what this thing is.
Yeah, yeah, this is the word I'll.
Give ohh there's more than one also.
Yeah, I can cast up to four. Where in the heck?
Looks like there's glowing mushrooms down here too.
Yeah. Oh, here.
And one to ash. OK, so those orbs are both
controllable by you, Phelan, but also controllable by the person.
And as a indicator, mommy, you were getting towards the edge of
where you can feel the orb will follow you because it can only
go to 60 feet. Although I don't think
technically you would probably be actually there, I would guess
you're probably like right in front of Ash following them down
the stairs and comata is probably trying to stay out of
that light artificial. I can probably keep behind
everyone just to make sure I don't blind those who don't need
it. And you get down to guys would
be getting down to the bottom of the steps here.
And you do see the glowy shrooms as you're walking down the
steps, lightly illuminating the space.
Just very dull light that is not not.
It's almost still as if you're peering through a shadow to see
that the light coming off of them is just that glow in the
dark color, and not color per se, but glow in the dark
ambience to it. It does doesn't really produce
more light than it out in a wide radius than itself.
And then that seems like too. As you get to the bottom of the
stairs, there's a couple larger rocks that have a similar glow
to them, and you get to the bottom of the stairs and you are
at a landing before you can see the stairs go down farther from
where you're at. Or there's the larger room with
the mushrooms that are easily 15 foot across in diameter and some
of the glowing stones that are similar in size also closer to
the 20 foot height. And so there are some smaller
ones intermittent, but those are the ones that catch your eyes
first guys, guys doing. Is there anything preventing us
from going down to the next level?
Doesn't seem like at this point you're at a landing.
So I I want where did I go? I wanted to investigate these
mushrooms. Sorry.
Yeah, that's what I want to do as well, that's.
What I wrote the nature for. Yeah, rock.
So. Nature here is investigating the
rock. I want to look at the rock.
Go ahead and also roll me in nature I guess.
I'm not gonna thought with A13A20 and a 13 though Vomaira
you are quite certain these mushrooms are of a
hallucinogenic variety that you know from your past as you you
know that warriors would take them to go into battle to not
feel pain. Interesting.
So like harvest some, go ahead and roll me.
Do you have any special skills of such?
Let me see for harvesting or anything like.
That no. I guess then it can just be a
slight of hand. Such a shit roll.
Oh my God, Plus nine. I mean with a + 9, I guess so 13
would be. But you you're still able to get
as big as your arms can carry, so this thing is 3 times as big
as you. So you you lop off a piece of
the mushroom and it's not even 1/8 of the total cap that is the
the, yeah, the full mushroom. So you've got like a small chunk
of it that's filling your arms currently and you're like, wait
a second, I didn't think this through.
All right. Well then I like like start
chopping it into small pieces. OK, You can go ahead and.
And then I ohh I I chop it into small pieces so that I and then
I put the pieces into the bag of holding okay.
So I guess it's it's up to you how much I I get 40 they ohh I
guess that's a four. I was reading that it's 40 at
first, 4-4 pounds of mushroom. That's a lot of mushroom.
Yeah, because they're pretty light to begin with.
Yeah. And then I I also take a little
bit, take a what? I eat some oh.
Yeah, do. It I'm munchies, go ahead and
rule the constitution while mommy your nature.
Yeah, nature gives you the information that you are are.
Sure, these mushrooms were something that you remember from
your past as well as the berserkers from your village
would use before they went to the battle.
Oh, so they induce an effect then, Yeah.
And I know as a kid to stay away from them.
Or is this something that, like we enjoyed?
You were quite sure that they are intended usually only for
battle, because they could result in a untimely demise if
too much was ingested from a poisoning effect.
But you know that specifically used in battle was the the
sensation that you would get from is as if you were all
powerful and nothing could hurt you.
That's tempting. You know if I need to fuck
something up. That's used complex true.
And I'm gonna walk away. I'm not gonna take any, OK?
I'm gonna keep a mental note though, that those are here.
The globe follows you around that Phelan is cast, and you're
looking at a rock Phelan that is glowing softly the same color as
the mushroom. Yeah rock.
And you look closer at it as you are trying to figure out what it
is causing the glowing because it seems to be coming from
inside the rock and not the rock itself.
You would probably brush your hand across it to try and see if
it truly is stone, and as you did so you feel a quavering
under your hand and a small as your hand is touching, touching
it, you hear almost as if in your head, but you're wondering
if it's more so the vibrations that you were that was quavering
through the the stone. Help me help me help.
This should help 0. Guys, a rock is in distress
that. Sounds the Rock just asked for.
How am I feeling? It's probably a trap.
We should probably leave. Yeah.
Do I feel like I'm on you are aren't feeling anything yet?
OK, other than maybe slightly satiated, you know, not so
hungry. Okey.
Dokey. Well, I mean, we're here to.
I feel like we should crack open the throt, maybe earn our
reward. Is that what it wants to be
cracked open? I don't think that's how we get
a reward. I think we get our reward by
getting far. Right, I just said to help it.
And he said how deep we get in the.
Town, he never specified. Or down.
Yeah, go ahead and roll me. Perception, everyone.
Everyone. Fuck.
I really feel like this is a trap.
Perception. I might have to do this the old
fashioned way. Ooh.
Would you say we were rolling a perception indeed?
Oh. Seven just go into my modifier
myself. I would have figured there would
be something for it. You're starting to notice pretty
much everyone a clicking and clacking from the ceiling that
is far above you. Easily 4050 feet in down is
above you. I'm gonna suggest that we
continue going down the stairs. I'm going to agree.
I'm good for that. Yeah, I'm gonna.
Yes, I'm good for that. Yeah, this is.
Easy, yeah, She goes down the stairs as they go down.
Okay, yeah, as I see everyone looking behind me.
Good. Sorry, Rock.
Go down the stairs. Ash's following too.
You're the farthest one on the map, visibly as just confirming.
Yeah, I've tried to reload this page like three times and I just
have like a white screen with my name on it and I'm like all
right, I'm done. Ohh.
No. Ohh and it just flashed to black
and then to white and then to black.
OK, I have no idea. What's happening with this
thing? Ohh geez Will.
Yeah, so. That's so fun for you, you you
all make it to the stair and start jogging down.
And at the very least I would, I would say, but you see just as
you're going into the next room and here rather a as a spider
the size of. I know the fucking spider.
What the fuck? Forgot how big is it Ohh God I
think Jesus Christ a a young young adult dragon landing it's.
Massive. He goes around and goes to one
as as big as a young adult dragon and start.
That is a spider and a dragon. I was like, we're doomed.
Spider. Dragon starts tending to the
rocks which it uses a spool of thread that seems to be the same
color as the rock to tighten up some of it and the the voices in
your head of help Me fail and start to fade as you go down the
stairs. Ohh, so all this was happening
in the last room? Yes.
And as as you're hauling ass down the stairs, the.
Poor rock that asked for help. You're like ohh OK fuck you bye.
Oh oh now I see the spider. Ohh, Jesus.
OK, gotcha. So as you get into the next set
of the room, as you're going down the stairs, the the
darkness of the previous room starts to rescind as an ever
present light that fills the room is lighting, lighting your
vision. But it's not.
It's not oppressive, it's just this subtle soft light that as
you're going down the stairs, seems to propagate some of the
greenery that you're seeing in the room.
The other greenery though, you're wondering what caused it
because it's quite slimy looking and gooky.
And there's in the middle of the room you see a grate with a pipe
coming from the side of the wall that's just slowly dripping this
oozing pussy looking green gook down into the grate in the
center of the floor that has some Moss and some roots growing
throughout the the entirety of the room.
So hey guys, I'm gonna suggest we just keep going down the
stairs as fast as possible. Yeah.
Fuck these rooms, fuck whatever's in here and let's
just run, get our cardio. So long as nothing stops us.
Yeah, but also it looks like there's before growth, right?
Stands is a large costilent type.
It's covering the entrance to the stairs basically before you
can get to the next one of just this pussy web looking stuff.
I'm gonna can I jump down the over the side?
Wait, I'm gonna be like, wait, let let's burn it away.
What if we, like, burn it away with some acid?
Because maybe fire won't work on something slimy do.
You have ACID. I do have acid I.
Mean. How far is the drop?
Yeah. How far is the drop?
Like, is, is it? Is it all over the entrance or
is there like, I don't know. It kind of looks like I could
jump through here. I'm kind of willing to take some
chances on a broken leg to avoid this screen shit.
I walk right up to the stuff and I cast Acid Splash as a can
trip. You cast it and as it lands on
it, it just seems to thicken somewhere.
Wait, the goo. Yes, the acid that you spew on
it seems to make it grow. I'm.
Not good. I'm gonna take out.
My water skin that I just filled up and dropped, not a lot like
maybe half a cup of water on like the very edge right there.
Also, I do have a quick question.
Am I carrying yeah my baby around or is my baby not with me
because it has not been said out loud?
I was assuming it wasn't with me.
It is not with you currently. OK.
And towards the water portion, the water that you had from the
fountain, uh. Huh.
You pour. Go ahead and click for me one
more time because that was. Right on the corner here.
OK, so not leading up to the stair, Not like at the bottom of
the stairway. No, I'm just like.
Experimenting, I want to see how it reacts pour it starts to
quaver, almost as if a live thing at before a corner of the
edge of it starts to dissolve. All right, so I'm going to go
closer to the stairs portion, I guess where we want.
I'm going to pour a little bit over here, and as you pour a
little bit over there, it starts to recede from that point as if
had as quickly as if it had been struck.
And you see it's the ooz start to.
OK, so in in the interest of conserving water, I'm going to
pour some into my hand and then like flick.
I almost like I'm trying to dry them off.
I'm gonna try to, like, flick droplets of water over this
thing as much as possible. Like in front of me.
Okay. Then in that case, you can roll
me in Dexterity check, not a save, and throw with everyone
else rolling me an initiative. Which?
What's that? I was gonna ask how far the drop
was. Ohh God, I may have missed that
particular question there. So you tried to jump off the
side and then run around it and then jump down into the next
room? I was looking to see how far the
drop into the next room was. Yes.
But yeah, I was clarifying how you got around it, because I'm.
Yeah, there's kind of a wall where you're where you're seeing
there. Actually.
I should have probably drawn that better there.
It's not a railing, per se. Down into the next thing.
Okay. So you we can't just drop down,
correct? Yeah, you would have to go
through the duck to there's like a little bit of an archway and a
doorway down before the next stair stairway.
Down okey dokey. Apologize.
Yeah, um, what did I hear?
This button. Man, if if I had me may, I could
create water and we could just flood this whole room.
Like grow this stuff, right? Is it not?
Do I have to do this? Remove all clear?
OK there we go. That do I add.
I can see the map now. Oh.
I cannot. I'm glad yours loaded.
Yeah, it's funny that you're talking about like, your screen
refreshing, because at work, my work computer does that like,
every. So many minutes the the screen
will refresh or if I like have it up too long.
That's weird. Yeah.
Yeah, I would be very bothered by that.
Like, come on, I'm trying to get something done.
Yeah, it's it's strange to me. OK save automatic rule and could
you re guys read me off so I don't have to bounce back
between screens there rolls. Failing Got a 14 mom, I got a
50, Myra got a 22 and Ash got and 11.
OK, daughter. Yeah, I skipped you.
Sorry, Volmira is first as you guys are starting to see this
greenish ooze start to turn blood red.
Uh. Ohh.
What? Because.
The water in the in the entire room.
Ohh ooze that is slinking slowly closer towards this mass that's
in front of the stairs. So wait, I should be able to see
the entire room, right? Yes, and in the in the main mass
that is covering the entrance before the next stairs, it is
starting to form up into some shape, but it is not clear what
shape. Is it reacting to the water?
I'm trying to? That was the reaction to the
second part of the yes that you started going on it just.
Got real mad, so I'm. Gonna try to.
Say that again. I'm gonna try to hex it the
working if you choose to place a curse on a creature, so falen's
on deck by. The way take if it's considered
a creature now, yes, yes it will.
OK, so I'm gonna hex the goo. Ooh, as my bonus.
Actually, then I'm going to. Use my stagger fighting like
splash app. So this is my attack for one
set. It I need to close some of these
extras, it does not. It goes into it and then comes
out with a sucking noise as if it does nothing.
I'm gonna try one more time. What?
Ohh, okie dokie, it's both that time.
Does something similar where it goes into it and comes out with
a. Yeah, just A and it seems to
close right back up and that's your attack and bonus action, if
I understand. Correct, yeah.
And although no, that's your your attack.
My action and my bonus actions I've made.
Yeah, because you would also text it, I thought.
Hex is my best action. I have two weapon that's yeah,
that's probably what that is. Yep.
OK. And then I guess I'm going to
just take steps back, OK. There we go.
I'm going to stay. Right there.
I guess that's it. So quick 1-2 and fuck are you to
it. And remind me what HEX does it
gives, if you would. Hex is If I hit, I do damage.
Gotcha. Ohh, I get to choose one
ability. The target is disadvantage.
On the ability checks somewhat, so it looks just like looks like
what? I said It just looks, yeah,
there's some presumable eyes maybe, and mouths forming on it
with some wiggly bits that are trying to grasp.
I'm gonna choose their Constitution ability to have
disadvantage on their ability check Constitution already.
So disadvantage if make any Con checks.
OK, then we've got Phelan up next.
Yeah, I'm going to cast Magic Missile on it.
Oh yeah. Oh.
Yeah, so that just that just hits.
There's three of them. Should I multiply that by three
or should I roll it two more times?
Your choice completely. What do you prefer?
I have no preference. Yeah, it is always more fun to
to roll more dice. I'll just roll it two more times
for funzies. That was the same exact result.
And once again, let's say we're so one more, so multiply it by
three. So 12 force damage just.
To make sure it's not. OK.
I honestly no like I kind of want to.
Something's broken if not. OK, no, we got a different one
actually. Anyway, to follow, that's 12
force damage to it was that was your action with.
So wait, did that do damage? You see?
Yeah, I don't really have anything else to do.
I'm a be here if you want, me if you want to describe how it
hits. Yeah, it's well hit obviously in
this case and you see it slam into it but otherwise I can you
you might wanna also describe for us what what the yeah.
What is Magic Missile? I've never seen this before,
just yeah. Does it like, it just
automatically hits? You don't have to roll.
It's an. It's.
A. It's an auto hit.
It's just like a forced. It's like a.
Yeah, a. Force that just automatically
hits each time. You create like darts, Yeah,
they're like, they're like magical darts.
Like that's actually the first energy that like just level up
at, you know, and they're guaranteed.
Yeah, you can use like higher like.
Like you get more and. More of that, I think you
misunderstood maybe my my explanation or what would I was
trying to. No, yeah, yeah.
Basically when she casts, you'll see she has these rings and they
have like red gemstones in them and she channels energy from
those red gemstones. So then all these little glowy
red like. Orbs suddenly become like super
duper sharp and they go like jab like straight from her hands.
Yeah, into the little creature thingy, into it and force these
dents into it. And it does, kind of.
But otherwise it doesn't seem to be seeping any liquids or
anything that you would usually associate, Yeah, with damage.
But it does seem to have been perturbed at the very least.
Did something. I got some can trips I can try
out next, but otherwise that's it.
I might just like back up a few steps, right?
Ash, you be the Nexus with Mommy on deck.
Hello. I'm sorry, what?
You're up. All right, I.
Hate that about it. About it.
Recognize this creature in front of me?
History. Natural 20 You recall a
horrible, horrible legend about what comes to be from the blood
leftover of the corpse of a dragon.
Now how it seems to take on a life of its own forming some of
the first stages of other oozes and masses, as particularly one
that hate hates water is that of the Red Dragon that takes on
takes on the life of of a of of a news that hates water.
I'm gonna ooze that hates water. OK, so I'm staring at this
creature and all of this information comes to my mind and
I call it out to my companions around me.
Did it say it is the blood of a red dragon and it hates water?
That's all your free action there.
Are you doing anything? OK, yeah, so I'm just going to
go with my original plan and do dissonant whispers.
I just whisper out like the tiniest little phrase of like,
listen to this bitch and you whisper a discordant melody that
only one creature of your choice within range can hear, racking
it with terrible pain. The target must make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 3D6
psychic damage and must immediately use its reaction, if
available, to move as far as its speed allows away from you.
It has to make a Wisdom saving throw of 17.
It did not. It is, yeah.
It moves straight backwards down the stairs.
Oh great. Well, actually it can't do that
yet. Not it's turning but it will be
doing such. Also, it can't move into
anything. That would be like dangerous
ground, right? Right.
Like it just tries to get away as safely as possible.
But away? I wouldn't say that stairs are
dangerous ground in the sense that you can move up and down
them freely. Yeah, I need to roll damage.
Yes you do. Fuck it up 14.
Ohh yeah I could damage nice. You even the having lifting over
here. All I would correct me if I'm
wrong here would hear Ash scream off towards it and start
whispering under her breath before you hear the creature
just wail in agony of Ohh like it didn't come through.
That's trying to still make it come through, but it's not
coming. But something's got come
through. Yeah.
Yep. I'm guessing it would just be a
horrid sound to hear in real life.
Yeah, a gurgling like a. Banshee and a bog, yeah.
So that was my main action. I don't actually know if I can
do anything useful with my bonus actions.
Any knowledge is good knowledge. Walk around and find out.
I was gonna say I called everybody out.
What? This creature doesn't like
water. Who's closest to me?
Do you fail? Palin, I point towards Falin and
I'm like you, glorious dark creature of night and terror.
You rip that bitch to pieces, and I can't fart against
inspiration. I don't have water, but I have
frost. That's.
Cold. Water.
It's cool. It's frozen water.
They're definitely inspired by that, Yeah.
Trying to find a good little token here.
And that'll be it for my term. OK, Mom, maybe's next.
So Mommy. Yes, maybe.
Are you not hearing me, Josh? Does anybody else hear me?
I hear you. Can I hear?
You, I can hear you. Maybe he needs to turn you up.
Maybe no. You might have turned me down
early. OK, so I can try this.
I turned my mic way down earlier because there was a bunch of
background noise, but you could turn it back down.
OK. Yeah.
Is that I don't know what. Yeah, I I did hear some
reverberations coming from you earlier.
I muted you then, but then I unmuted you, but then right then
when before we right before you started turning it up, I muted
you and unmuted you again and it seemed to work for whatever
reason. Gotcha.
Any who, Yeah. What's it?
That explains a lot? OK, so I'm looking in my
inventory, right? Because watching Volmyer's
daggers go in and out, my heart broke a lot because I can't use
my axes. All right, maybe I can.
Maybe I'll just get frustrated. And use my axes anyway.
But then I realized, OK, if Mac axes don't work here, what do I
have? So I have a whole water skin of
water, which it like seems to piss it off.
I don't know if it's doing any damage, but it definitely seems
to be, you know, turned red. It's angry.
So what else do I have? And so I looked in my pouch and
I have a bottle of drinking grade highproof alcohol, and I
also have eight random vials from Frozen Over Hell.
And so I'm really tempted to use one of these random vials.
But I don't know what's in them. I just remember we found them on
a shelf and I just grabbed some. So I don't really want to waste
them if they're like really good.
So I'm going to pull out the bottle of drinking grade high
proof alcohol and pour like a cup of it on the portion of this
thing. So is it still the green spread
out thing or is it concentrated into this BLOB?
It's concentrated into this BLOB.
OK, so I'm going to like. I'm not gonna get any closer to
it. I'm going to like take the
bottle and splash it, splash the smallest amount that I can onto
this thing. Like like some.
It's, it's a big splash, right? I'm assuming quite a bit.
Maybe like 1/4 of the bottle's gonna come out, but I'm gonna
try to get it onto the thing, if that makes any sense.
Yeah, As your action, right. So I'm going to need a that I
that you have associated with. It's probably an unarmed strike.
I I would consider it. I'll take that.
The the water gets right to the edge of it as you kind of try to
squeeze it out of the skin, you know, sorry, alcohol.
Trying to remember what container that was into it's.
Just in a bottle, right? So you try to like you, you
uncork it presumably then and would it try to like just shake
it out at it and so. All of your OK would probably
rush to the end of it and squirt a little stream that would hit
this the the little bit of it at the bottom.
OK, not quite center mass as you were hoping it would come out,
and it it actually seems to lap that up with some of its folds
happily. OK, so we can get it trunk.
OK, All right. It does it.
So it laps them it up. Is there any effect on it
besides the fact that it wants to absorb the alcohol?
You don't see anything visible currently, No.
OK. It's not changing colors or
doing anything. OK yeah, and I can't really.
I don't. That's why I want action.
I can't really do anything else. I suppose I'll back up a step
like everybody else try to get out of reach.
You're on deck if you're done with your turn mommy, and indeed
it definitely has to move backwards.
But as it's doing so, you just see it.
Everyone inside of a 30 foot column which is let me see here
measuring tool. Ohh.
No, no. Should be all of us, pretty much
everyone I'm. Done.
Yeah, it just pukes on us. Yeah, as it backs up down the
stairs. All right.
Down the stairs, That bitch. Yeah.
What do we have to roll to save a?
Deck save, yeah. Ohh shit.
I forgot I took four hits on the fucking table.
Yeah, I am currently at Half Hell I and that's not gonna
help. I have a random vial from Frozen
Over Hell I can pour on you. I'm just gonna die right here
and right now. It's fine.
Let's see. Let me see real quick here.
Ohh. Wait, I could do this too?
Yeah, maybe not. Thought I could click on that
from here. I have to go.
To my collections to get Ash's roll, she's BRB and.
Yep, that's why I was so I think it's either way.
So you take half as much damage from Myra with the 16 is being
the the damage I think. I don't think that came through.
It didn't. I don't know why, but 16 is what
I rolled on the over here for its damage.
Dad, what did you need to get to safe?
A 14 So Mommy and Phelan actually to correct me if I'm
wrong, are you dead? Dead.
Yeah, eight hit points total. Yeah, cuz that.
That's double by total. Right.
You're you're down, down. I mean, wait, does does the four
that I currently have take that down?
Yeah, so you take 4. OK, so I'm down.
I'm not dead. OK, I took. 12 on top of the
like. So it was a total of 16.
You lost four and then you took twelve more for a total of 16,
yeah. Is the whole like permid dead
thing double your thing or your total?
That's what I'm just gonna. I never can remember.
I was just gonna double check for you here.
You literally kill my character in the first fucking session.
It is the evil campaign. What do you expect?
Gosh, so she's so excited. But she's if she keeps here,
then she's down and she's unconscious if someone helps
her. Turn and she gets back to one if
it. Then die, Die.
If no one does, then she has to. And if you fail, three, saving.
Yeah, but there's normally a rule about like if you get dealt
like, I think it's your. Total.
Hit points and negative you're like permitted as well.
I don't pathfinders. Your total or double?
I think that's Pathfinders. I think 5E is 5.
E doesn't like negatives, but if someone, if you're an enemy,
hits you, it's an it's an automatic death saving fail.
Okay, yeah. No.
Then that might be a Pathfinder thing.
Wait, is somebody down already? By reducing zero hits me so
three or more times. It's such excessive to damage
their time. That's a fun one too.
But yeah, you're down and. You have definitely at least
lost the one that saved, so you have two more that you could
potentially make. Very cool.
So what was the damage? 16. 16.
The matter would take 8. Ash would also take 16.
Wait, you got a roll for me? A deck save, A deck save.
And yes please and. Palin would take 16 and Mama it
would take 16. Which seven?
Palin is down and Ash, you took a total of 16, which is the
total damage. And just and as the creature is
backing up, you realize the breath, that it just on top of
you starts to pull you towards it.
All of you. Like.
My body dragging across the yeah floor.
Hey, my page finally did that thing that everybody else was
talking about, just refreshed randomly.
How? Are.
You but it pooled you. Let's see here if it will load.
Come on 30 feet towards the, towards it, so down the stairs.
Yep, 15202530. So I think, Mommy, you're at the
top of the stairs. It looks like 30 failing.
You're just behind. And Ash, you're at the very
bottom of the steps that you were coming down from now.
Do I get pulled? You do not, as you succeeded.
Ohh, nice. Is the goo still there?
The goo walk or slid down the stairs into the next room.
Oh, so the green stuff. The green stuff is not there,
correct? OK, I just wanna make sure.
All right. I guess we're going downstairs.
With Vermeter back at the top of the order and failing coming
directly behind. Roll my desk.
Save. So what you doing, Vermeter?
Run up to the stats. Sorry I couldn't catch all that.
Roll 20 is not. OK.
Basically what I run up in May. OK, I think it's working now and
then. I'm going to file a fully walk,
add it kind of like right at the ground so that the vial breaks
and clashes on them. OK, what what vial is this?
I have a legacy. Would a flask be breakable A.
Flask. What kind of flask?
It it's just a adventuring gear. Probably not.
Let me rethink. Is it possible?
It's possible what? So throw water 15 feet.
Possible, but not very accurate, but unlikely.
Yeah. I mean, it depends upon how
you're attempting to throw the water, so.
It's in a flask. I mean, are you opening the
flask? And yeah, just holding it and
like trying to throw it and hope as much water comes out when
you're throwing. It or 15 feet's pretty far.
Well, if you're throwing a flask, that's a different
scenario than trying to take like a handful of water and
throwing it at it. Well, I would throw the flag not
gonna break, so then the water would just stay inside.
So point. One I mean if it's open though.
I guess it could. Yeah.
OK, OK. Yeah.
I'm gonna open the flag and I'm gonna throw it at the monster.
All right, You're going to give me a.
Next check. Dexterity.
Wow. Jesus.
Everybody else has been rolling mediocre.
I I need to readjust my rolls somehow or something tonight.
The look. Of the roll.
See. Just Tower just fucking doesn't
like us. It it hits the ooze.
On the opposite side that it's open and.
Then the waterfalls out like away from the monster.
And it actually kind of like bounces off of it falls to the
floor, and the water starts trickling in the opposite
direction of the monster, like. Like down the stairs.
Well, I'm glad I wasted and that's oh, but so.
So I have hex on it. You do?
I technically kind of hit it. So do I get a bonus?
The bonus damage? Sure.
I mean, I'm asking. Go ahead and go ahead and roll
it. Sorry.
Multiply that by two, because what's going to happen with the
hex, I would say is that like you're you've you've cursed it
in a way that as the water splashes out of the flask, some
of the droplets float back up towards it and you see it sizzle
away from it and it's flesh like it it it.
Floats back up and makes contact and starts to dissolve Supports
of it. Parts of it.
All righty. For a total of 6.
Did you have the bonus action or was that that?
I think that's that's it. All right, Phelan.
That's it. She's on deck.
All right. 10 or higher. Ten or higher.
I'd say I'm dead. Natural one?
No, that was. Just a big one, right?
But the natural one counts is too.
The. Natural one counts.
I throw myself upon her and cast care wounds in a panic.
No, the only way to get her back is to do like a full like ritual
like Revive, which I don't know that we have that spell.
I don't know that spell. I don't do any magic.
I don't really do magic either, so.
Do I Bob with her? You what?
Do I have Bob with me? No so Ohh.
No. You seen failing being drown the
stairs unconsciously and then do one little whop like with their
body like trying to come back and then just.
Last breath of there being unless you want to describe it
in more detail than that Phelan. No, that's good.
I'd say that's pretty good. I haven't never had a character
die. That's fucking hilarious.
I grasped my torque. Do I have my torque?
You do and I call for Manny. No response.
Oh, you son of a bitch. You always have something to
say. Well, we don't need.
It. You do see a torque around
Phelan's neck too. All right, let's see if my page
will cooperate if I move my character.
It is your turn, Ash. Is she still right in front of
me? Very much so.
Flopped on the ground. I kneel down.
Lifeless. I kneel down and I like take her
hand and do my best to get her limp hand to flick her torque.
Oh, there is no charm on her torque.
And now I'm trying to think, 'cause I was like, I was just
gonna do some cure wounds on you right back up.
Oh goodness. I would say that was a bonus
action, by the way. Leaning down and trying to find
her torque. And I like shout and this isn't
be like he said. You only died.
Only died on this plane. This is true.
Yeah, maybe she's still alive in the other world.
My healing mangoes wouldn't help either, huh?
No. Sorry, I'm just like trying to
go through my inventory really fast.
There is zero life left in the corpse before you, that seems
like. Do I have a charm around my
torg? You do, although I'd say
currently there is 2, you know, one with a snowflake symbol and
one with a poop. Ohh could I throw her body into
the pocket rocket? She does not have a poop symbol
on her torque, yeah. All right, I guess I'm just
gonna stand up. I don't know what else to do.
And I don't have any water oriented spells except for ice
knife, which is, you know, frozen water.
Yeah, we're going to cast ice knife.
All right. I'm going to cast it and Chuck
it into the creature, 15 total of 22.
Nice with the deck save here. Ohh, it is not good at that.
Let's see where it goes 11. It did not make it so took 22.
Oh no, that wasn't pretty much that was to hit.
Ohh yeah definitely hits the I was.
I was confused because it says Dexterity saving throw for
something else, I guess a total of 10 damage.
No 18 damage, 10 piercing and eight cold.
Oh, nice. Take that.
So you see, actually it's the. Knife sail from your hand.
I'm guessing you would conjure it and kind of gesture with it
to fly towards it and it sinks into the its flank and you see a
bit of it freeze solid before melting and dissolving A portion
of its flesh. I cried.
I could. I could me portion.
Cold water hurts too. I'm guessing I'm still pretty
freaking high because this has only been, what, a couple of
minutes? Yeah, a couple of minutes met a
new friend, watched that friend die, and now I'm stabbing A
blobby creature. Yeah, adventures.
That would be your. Back in bonus action.
Are you done there before, mommy?
Yeah, because my bonus action was kneeling down for her,
right? Yep.
And that's it. Already Mommy.
So how far down the stairs am I? You are right at the top of the
steps, facing down the monster, which is nearly at the bottom of
the next set of steps. Okay.
So I still So is it accurate that I'm like 15 feet away from
it? It's probably closer to like 20
to main mass. There is like oozie bits of it
that are 15 feet away, but yeah. I just don't have much to do
against this thing except for throw water at it like I have
axes and on it, yeah. I have axes and alcohol, so you
know what? I'm going to take out one of
these mystery vials that I got from Frozen Over.
Hell okay. So I have 8:00.
I'm going to take one out and uncork it and throw it at this
thing. Okay.
Do you want me to roll an arm? Strike or this one was more of a
dex because it's a little bit farther away.
OK. Rather than just trying to like
roll some water on it when it's like 5 feet away.
What'd you get? A 16.
Oh, that'll hit. All right.
Just click in here. What's in the vial?
Yeah, five. I'm going to the table cuz I
have no idea. And it was just random shit in
bottles 4-5. You you see specifically you.
I could not have. I could not have planned this
any particularly better. You see Mame the vile smash onto
the creature this grayish bluish.
Mixture of powder explode over top of it and then on top of in
the in the air of that you you see almost.
If a hand has written in the dust in the air.
Speak a word. What is it?
Speak a word. Speak a word.
Just one. It says a.
I'm gonna say suffer. As you say, suffer.
You just see the creature almost as if it was shrinking from the
inside, just being crushed and. As it gets into a smaller area
and smaller area you see the from the inside out there is
just water that seems to be slowly dissolving it from the
inside out as it Wilhelm screams and dies.
OK. And.
Yeah, that's the end of combat there.
You guys are no longer in combat, although your newly
acquired friend is starting to look like as if been turned into
a mummy behind you very very quickly.
We're just. Slowly decaying and shriveling.
Yep. Yeah, poor lady.
Well. Which would make the two glowing
orbs that we're following you all disappear.
Oh no, it's dark again. Yep.
Ohh right. Well, not in this room.
Although, no, we're on a level that's like, yeah.
Yeah, some. For some reason, my vision is
not large. Or maybe that has to do with my
movement. But OK, so if we've killed the
thing, Maume's gonna walk over to our departed companion.
And kneel down and just like put their hand over the companion
and like take a moment of silence and then stand up and
turn back towards the stairs and start to walk down, but then
stop and turn around and look at the rest of the party.
I'm going to rumage through their pockets.
Oh, I'm also going to walk over and like, lay my hands on her
chest. Quote UN quote.
Say a word, but I'm looking for shit.
Like, I'm sorry we lost you friend.
As I'm like, pulling open her pouch, she.
Doesn't. Need this anymore?
I mean for scrapping this mystery tower I'm going.
To I had a crossbow. Say it again.
Daggers. Looking for like any sort of
like valuable trinkets Free. It's in pockets.
I got some gemstones that were supposed to be, like magical.
Yeah, I'm snatching that. I'm gonna take one of your
daggers, but I can't get inventory to load.
There we go. Right.
Is it just a typical dagger? Yeah, I'm level one.
OK, so I tied so fast. Sorry, you're level 1.
Great. I don't know what you're talking
about. Yeah, I think that -1.
Really set the tone. Yeah, I've rolled one of those
before it. It's not a good time.
I'll make this one pretty interesting and possibly very
quick here. So you guys walk down the
stairs, Roll me a acrobatics check.
Uhoh. Check everyone that's going down
to the next room, presumably trying I'm I'm assuming.
Did I steal those gems? Ohh.
Yeah, I mean, they're dead. You don't really have to.
She ain't stopping us. I wasn't stopping you, OK?
My spirit will just follow you forever.
I just wanted to have more equipment because I don't know
what else we're gonna come in front.
Of So did one taggers. Perfect.
You said they were just like magical gems.
Yeah, she would channel her sorcerer Wild Magic through it.
So was that. I guess I'll just write it on
because I'll have to investigate to figure out what they actually
are due. Red rubies, probably.
I'll just say like, yeah, red gems from dead corpse in my.
They're in the form of rings. You can wear them.
It's a ring. So the gems.
Are one one in? 8 and.
Yeah, they're like 2 gems, 2 like rings.
OK, so 2 gems, 2 rings. Yeah, the two gems are sitting
in the rings, but you could easily, like, remove them.
Yeah, because she kind of like may shift the rings herself.
It appears as if everyone orients themselves properly.
As you walk down the next set of steps and it seems to switch to
as if you're walking down the set of steps or I mean up the
set of steps right as you get to the bottom of the down so it
reorients themselves and you're coming the opposite direction
you expected to be and now you're in a pool of water and.
You're going to all roll me an Agility check or rate.
No, that's not the right word. Acrobatics.
Acrobatics was the Athletics 1 Athletics.
Athletics is the one that I wanted.
In my dead body, two or five. Sure.
You did? Because I got a -2 Ohh look at
that. Dead Body somehow managed to end
up in the next room as a mummy of sorts and plunge deep into
the water of of the next room that seems to be salty to
everyone else that's splashing around in it and you start to
feel a large force coming towards you.
And the last thing you guys realized before you noticed
darkness is that big set of teeth that can swallow all three
of you whole. No, no, no, no, no, no.
I cast Vicious Mockery. I've seen more.
I figured that was just a good ending point for the for the
session. Murders new player oh.
So ohh yeah, you're all dead everybody.
Is dead. And well, you're you're not
actually actually dead Failing so Ishamel was truthful.
You will be finding yourself in the next mess that players find
themselves in, but. Good.
I was excited for my Wild Magic Sorcer.
Ah, me too. I'm excited to see where she
goes. We also totally forgot to roll
for the Wild Magic Surge because I used a first level spot.
Yeah, we did got. A.
That's right. I probably would have rolled.
That one tonight, Yeah. Let's see.
Let's do it for funzies. Yeah, I like all.
Funzies. Nope, we're safe.
OK, how does that work again, if you don't mind me?
So the technical rule of it is like.
You roll and if you get a one on it a wild magic search happens
but my friends and I have it to where like the more you use the
higher the DC is so like the more magic I use it goes up by 1
so. OK, good.
So then you would start off with one and so next time you would
roll it would be a two. You have might might yeah, take
note of that for the next session then because.
Yes. So I'll keep track of that.
Cuz that would be that will be pretty fun and quite chaotic I
would say. Yes, more chaos.
Let's add it in there. Absolutely.
Yeah. So you guys made it to Level 3
of Vish Mills, Tyler, we made it so far.
I made it to 2 1/2. True.
Well, good times. That was a fun side quest.
It was. It was.
It was very fun. I enjoyed it despite dying.
I mean, it'll never forget. Or at least it was here.
If I hadn't kicked, the stupid thing still would have happened
anyway. It still would have happened 16
damage, you know? Can't really avoid that.
Alrighty. Well, I'm gonna jump off of here
and get some sleep. Good session.
See you guys all.
Next time have a good. Night.
Good night. Bye, Good night.
