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 Many.
Polos. It's made everyone more violent,
but actually we're less violent because we take it out in
fantasy. World.
I give you. That's right.
World 's and you. You're here except for.
Craig, Craig. Craig But the The Hand of Fate
tosses, The dice rolls, spins, turns.
A campaign starts and ends, leaving memories that become
stories. Stories flow out into the
infinite sea, painting it with legends.
Legends wash up on the shores throughout the infinite sea,
fading to myth until myths are forgotten And the campaign that
gave at birth comes again and again.
The Hand of Fate tosses The dice rolls, spins, turn hitherto
contingent of the Shadow Seekers.
Ash, Flint, Mame, Vomara, and Zolus leave the Pocket Rocket to
delve deeper into the Acropolis, finding Phelan and Regina, Dark
Elves having hovering over the Pocket Rocket on the ground.
With Torino still standing guard after removing the rock from
Regina's mouth, Franklin quickly befriends befriends the small
youth and they decide on the pathway to the right.
Shadow Seekers then continue along, finding wriggling walls,
ejecting gold when touched, gold columns, A globule cleaning
crew, and an angry Crab Demon who strangled Zolus While
everyone attempted to hit the demon but instead hit Zolus.
She swiftly banished it and then all walked right past where the
Crab Demon was and the depressed workers looking sadly at looking
infernal ease. They quickly rounded the corner
before the banished deem Crab demon could return, and the
Shadow Seekers were nearly engulfed in monstrous, monstrous
blobs of goo, and just before rolling out from under them in
the nick of time, they became separated.
Zola's Flint, Ash, Phelan and Regina calmly waited on the
other side to be reunited well. Mamae, Franklin, Vomira, and
Warren, who resurfaced after emerging from the pocket Rocket,
confronted the depressed demons and the newly unbanished crab
demon who they re encountered after deciding how to get around
the giant globs of goo. Circling around the the the
office, they'd try to befriend the Crab demon who was
thoroughly displeased with his current employer but would not
help them. Warren's nipples led him
directly to the wriggling walls. He began caressing to create
moans of pleasure resonating through the halls of the
Acropolis while the other Regina touched one of the tiny
creatures that were cleaning and quickly ensued a battle with the
larger of the creatures coming to it to defend the smaller.
And a a fog cloud escaped failing and and the rest of the
shadow seekers in a impenetrable fog.
Let's find out what happens this time.
So yeah, you guys, some of you find yourself mostly still in
that impenetrable fog. As a other tiny side note, MAME,
you had from your perspective, since you weren't here, I kind
of finished out your turn. You were lastly in front of you
guys aren't in combat currently either right now because what
you thought as the threat, the big one, at least it appeared.
It kind of moved around weirdly in the mist to you, but
reformed, and you slashed at it and it splattered at your feet
pretty easily. This time you don't you You
assume that you just must have hit it really well because it's
dead currently in front of you and you know you can't really
see it through the fog still so, but you could see a puddle of
stuff around your feet and vomitra.
You're right next to that. So you assume the same thing
with where we'd left off specifically for failing.
You were, Am I in a puddle of blood, puddle of goo that you
know no longer resides in the shape of the creature.
It's just this greenish goo on the floor.
Awesome mama's going to bend down or or Crouch down and run
like stick her hand in the goo and and and rub it all over
their face and look at everybody and be like what?
It's good for the skin. Oh jeez.
The only one that can see you currently is provided a.
I'll just give you a look of disgust.
Yeah. Mama isn't, like, assuming that
anybody's looking at them. It's just like, preemptively.
Like like knowing that what they're doing might look weird.
It's just like announcing to the room gotcha anyway, it it feels
more more sticky than you expect.
And when you rub it across yourself it does stay in place.
But with kind of these Blobsulitch, if you will, these
tiny little like when you take trying to think of the the thing
I can, there's all kinds of different goose that I can think
of but I can't think of the right one to explain where it
like it doesn't. It's still these little tiny
balls of it basically, that are still present in it.
It doesn't like completely smoosh away.
Hydration packets. Sure.
You'll see in the morning and you said you just.
Applying goo. Oh, OK.
Your arms. You're in my face.
You're covering yourself. I got you.
OK, Yeah. Phalen, you're the only one
that's by yourself at this particular point in time.
Too, why am I left alone? I'm fishy, only guess.
Because because I'm I, I have fog around me that would
actually, yeah, you guys are still relatively in the same
area, you can still hear the other ones around you, but every
time you kept moving towards them, they kept moving away from
you because you kept bringing the fog.
For them. I have the cheese touch because
currently two. I think Warren was outside of
the fog with Regina, but then you encapsulated them again by
coming back that way. Whoops, and and Franklin escaped
the fog fully. It looks like by himself too,
but he's doing something over there.
But I don't know what you're doing, Fayden.
Are we still in battle? Initiative order?
Nope. You guys are welcome to tell me.
I had sent my guy. Are we?
Wait, nevermind. You do your thing.
Sorry. Can I cast a spell right now?
Sure. I'm going to dispel magic
because I learned I could have done that before.
Oh. Oops.
I just realized what spells I had.
So I've been working on this. But, you know, I'm a child, so
I'm still learning. And Regina flips through her
little spell book. Have you guys seen It's Always
Sunny? You know how I'm sorry?
Yep. It's only Sunny how Charlie
doesn't know how to read. So whenever it's like a bunch of
like, squiggly, like nonsensical things.
OK, no reference. But so I go through my little
chicken scratch book and I learned that I can dispel magic.
So I would like to get rid of this cloud that's around me.
It would be amazing if you send it to Jen just so I can read
through the spell. There's a display in VTT.
It should say before I flip back over to another tab.
Sorry, the spell that you're talking about Dispel.
Dispel magic, Yeah. If you could send it into the
chat on yes on the display. OK, I'm.
Gonna jump over to here, I was hoping you could get it.
Oh, I'm using like an analog. Book.
Do you want me to type it out? No, no worries.
He's cooler than the rest of us. What the hell?
Am I able to pull it up on D&D Beyond?
Yeah, I was going to do that in the meantime, which is what I
was. OK, going to do but I just
figured it. If you were already on the on
the page, you could just send it over which.
Is what I was talking about. I already got you.
I'm. I found it on.
D&D Beyond. Maybe can.
So you're choosing the magical effect, I guess, as opposed to
anything else here, because there's that object, creature or
magical effect within range. That's that was one of the
questions I had. What you were what you were
targeting? Right.
So can I target just the air around me, or do I have to
target the person who cast the spell?
If you could target me, it probably will dispel the whole
thing because it's a fog pad like centered on me.
OK. The next question I had for you
is what your spell save DC is, which would be on your character
sheet. They.
Spell save DC probably about in the middle.
Should be with your spells. OK Yes 13 and DC just says DC
spell casting ability. I successful check the spell.
OK, So what you're gonna actually do in this particular
case, considering how the spell was cast and everything, is what
is your spell save DC Phelan? 14 In that particular case, then
the spell would not end in that in in my Damn.
That RIP you you oh wait 'cause it's it says spell save DC plus
your the spells level you cast it at third level I'm guessing
because that's the. Yeah, third level equals 10
plus. OK, so that's OK No, I misread
this here. DC is equal to 10 plus the spell
save the spells level, so it would be the DC of 13, which I
think is still what you have anyhow.
It's the same. How about this?
You feel the spell taking effect on you, Phelan, and you can hear
Regina off in the distance there, and you kind of get an
intuitive sense of what the intent is.
Could you roll a Wisdom check? For.
Me. Wise at all?
Fuck, bro. You just have to outsmart a
child That's a six. OK, so you're wondering whether
or not it was another creature that's trying to enact a spell
on you off in the distance. But because you can feel, you
can feel something trying to affect you, but it's it, it's
not, it's not quite able to do what it wants to do, which you
can tell us to get rid of the fog that that much you know.
At this point I want to get rid of the flog too, sorry.
Yeah. I have to wait out an hour.
In the meantime, I don't know if you remembered this, but I sent
my swarm into the fog with blind sight to attempt to kidnap one
of the children. Oh, I do.
Remember. They're useful.
They have the ability to steal people's memories.
We should take one. I do.
Is one of them.
Yeah, I do remember that, but I I do not think they have
returned. Is there a dead one still lying
around A. Dead.
This one all over, Mommy. A dead creature.
It's not. Yeah, it's not.
A creature anymore. Is it Goo?
All right, Goo. OK, never mind.
Affiliation. I was gonna see if we could do
some, bring it back to that shit, but I think it's probably
a lost cause. So we're I guess you guys know
too that the the goo piles that were in that smaller hallway,
we're slowly making their way out of that hallway.
Towards. You guys.
They kept inching towards me. I didn't like it, but otherwise
that you guys know everything that you should know.
I don't know if you're doing anything else though.
I don't know anything. Hey guys, what you want to do?
We're kind of stuck until the spot goes away.
Sorry, you're going to wait an hour.
But that big cubes are going to get closer.
Can we escape into the pocket, Rocket?
It's the pocket. I mean, you listen.
To me, yeah, yeah, she could go into the pocket, Rocket.
And I could go into the pocket. Rocket and just like then.
She's just sitting there. I'll.
Be so. Fine with that.
We could all go in and just. I don't want to hinder.
The. Group anymore it's for the first
time. You you, you, those that haven't
heard his voice come through the all of your torques and and say
don't forget you got these things and that's Manny Polis's
voice. That's the God that you guys and
this particular campaign had been shunning you for a little
bit because you mistaken his advice to go down to the that
not to go down into hell yet. But then he was kind of warming
up to you guys again. But you guys have been ignoring
him, so he just stopped talking. But.
Oh my God. Franklin falls to his knees and
because screaming why is? That why is the child.
Screaming. Anyway, that's Manny Polis.
We could take a short rest in the pocket rocket for an hour
and just like take a like a what time is it?
Is it lunchtime? We could just, like, take lunch.
Take five, everyone. I'd make sandwiches and give you
one, but it's foggy and that would probably make the
sandwiches all damp and gross. I'll just.
Wait, where anyone else is Not
so that I won't be more of a hindrance.
I mean. We want you to play it so.
Regina could use her rest. It's nap time.
My Maple Meadow Plus. It it gives.
I think the consent is currently.
Is short, short take five in the pocket rocket while I'm not.
Against I'm I'm not against it. I don't need it, but I'm not
against it. Phelan that has the fog cloud
right? Yeah.
How? What is your stance on
kidnapping children? Because the fog is helping me
try to kidnap these children, we're talking again on mute.
Yeah, it was. So while you're thinking mommy
is is satisfied, right? Mommy just killed something.
Which you know, like brings a very fulfilled and satisfied
feeling feeling to Mame. And so now now I'm also enjoying
this beautiful skin treatment that I know it has to stay on
for at least an hour and then I can go wash it off.
So if we want to go hang out in the pocket rocket, I'm cool with
that. But if the party wants to
continue like this, fog doesn't scare me.
It's fine. Well, I kind of need some rest
'cause I'm I got my memory blasted along with some of my
physical fortitude here. A.
Little tweaked. I've got hollow Dead eyes right
now and looking like I'm going to pass out, so.
Also, Franklin, I am indifferent to kidnapping children.
So with that, you guys recall that you can get into the pocket
rocket yourselves by touching the poop charm on your necklace,
on your torch. Did you ever give one to Regina
and Phelan, by the way? No.
No, Phelan, I give you I, I I could toss it, but you'd
probably miss it out to come find.
You. I'm not very.
Athletic. Just walk directly into the fog
and you'll probably run into me. I begin walking in and just kind
of, like, casually waving my arms.
Till I run into her. Yeah.
Take this. It's a poop symbol.
Looks like an emoji. It's golden.
This is how you get into the pocket rocket.
You hold it and then you just think, go into the pocket
rocket. And then you'll go.
Oh cool. Also, don't be afraid if you
haven't been in there before. There's skeleton monster on the
inside. He's in a cage, just don't go
near him. OK.
Regina is asking what a pocket rocket is.
It's from her perspective none of this makes sense.
Oh yeah, I'll pull it out. So this this thing here, this
was made by a wizard and I pull out another rock.
Who lives inside this rock? And this is like a house.
This is like a. House, OK.
Like a clubhouse, there's. Like beds and like a like a bar
and like a a pool and like a a chest of never ready to gold it
seems like. Wow, I've never had a house
before. These are have I?
Well, I've had one, but anyway, yeah, here you go.
Through the fog can't see you, such as pads aimlessly at
whatever and sole you. Probably your face.
Yeah, that's nice. They're there.
They're. There I lived it a whole once.
So with that, do you guys just all touch that and you leave the
rock on the floor? I mean, if if Phelan's up for
it, I don't want to kidnap one of these children, well.
Like right now for anything. Right.
I mean, we've got an hour. We've got an hour.
I think Josh was getting at like, are we just leaving the
rock on the floor? Like, oh, go in until how it's
guarding. No one's guarding it.
I mean, guard it, I. 'Cause if I go inside, all the
fog goes inside. Yeah, like we're we're like,
yeah, like we can hang out outside for an hour and try to.
We're kidnapping children and hanging out until the fog goes
away. Yeah.
Sounds right. OK, so you sound slightly.
Does anybody want to? No, I'm just like I'm I'm trying
to make sure I get the camera in the right place and that I was
thinking of what people are going to be doing here in a
second. Because I was like, I thought
you guys were all just going to go into the the pocket rocket
for a second. So I was like thinking of it
like that, but. If we could play it either way.
Either which way, but I was just going, I was just making sure I
was making, letting people play out what they're going to be
doing here in a second because didn't have children.
That's the attempt that I I understand, yeah.
But the the, the question I was thinking of more so was, I
think, Mommy, you'd said you were going, you were thinking of
going in in to get cleaned up to after, you know, letting it sit
for an appropriate time. And I didn't know Vomata was
always up for a drink and she remembers there's a bar in the
pocket rocket is probably where the where her thoughts were.
Whereas I know you guys are focused on that next objective
and I don't know what a child would want in this particular
case that from the pocket Rocket.
But I was assuming if you're letting it to dissipate and
you're going in there, I don't know what do you you guys tell
me what you're doing? Since you're you're Franklin and
Palin, it sounds like are going to be.
You're not being. You're not being waiting outside
the pocket rocket for that hour. I'm going to go inside the
pocket rocket. OK.
I think the other child needs to go inside too and rest right?
Yeah, this child is about to pass out from.
The memory stealing attack, so arrest would would benefit.
Franklin told you how after he gave you a charm there, it
sounds like. Just touch that poop charm and
think about going into the rock. OK, I touched my poop charm and
I just with what little thoughts I have left imagining just
laying down on. A nice pocket rocket.
Couch, Couch. All right.
Do I have to do anything else or am I?
Nope. OK.
You you turn into purple smoke. It's kind of relaxing, actually,
because you disincorporate for a second before you reincorporate
back into this body experience through this portal that you see
yourself standing in front of that's shimmering with.
Purple smoke and a bunch of different you almost.
You don't recognize what they are exactly, but but points and
silver lines and silver points that are kind of geometrically
shapes and floating in the purple mist that you're standing
in front of. Otherwise, you're standing in a
hallway and you look behind you and you see a amalgam of
skeletal remains. Bulging up against a cell door
that's trying to get out, just clattering against it.
Looks like they're trying to get at you, but they're quite a
distance away, down the hallway, still 5/10/20, about 25 feet
away. And then mommy and Fomara follow
shortly after you doing the same.
I'm going. To go to my room.
I have a room, right? Yeah, you have a bed.
You go through that door that you're facing towards.
Still haven't corrected the. That's all right, I think.
If I remember correctly, this one was mine.
Are you going to go follow? My matter goes through the door
that she opened off to the side of the hallway.
Yes. Yes.
Yeah. Oh, I'm going and I see the
beds. No, Franklin, you are not in the
void. Stop it.
The floor have it. The wall, guys.
My character's in the wall. Drop your character there so
that you wouldn't be staring at a Gray screen for.
So wait, we are all so nobody is out in the fog.
We're all going to. Hang out?
Yeah, just put. Your token there so we could see
what's going on. We're stealing children.
What? So yeah, I guess.
So Mama could Mama's torn, right?
Because like, a long rest for me would be good right?
Now, I did take some damage, but I kind of don't want Franklin.
And like, I feel like Mama's going to look around and be like
we're missing party members. I don't like the party being
split up. I know it's safe in here.
I don't know where the other two are going and want to like, go
back out and find them. OK, you, you know to give.
Them a long lesson about how we don't split the.
Party. You know too, that they'd
suggested just a short rest and that they're going to stay
basically inside the fog, hidden from other things.
So I don't know if that calms your fears down any, but you do
know those those things and you know that you know.
The time's coming up for the face mask to come off soon,
probably. Oh, OK then.
Yeah, I guess Mama's going to go find the baths.
I remember Ash. Ash.
Yeah, took a bath. And so Mama's going to go look
for the baths. And a short rest doesn't
necessarily mean sleep. I see both of you getting into
bed could mean just a sandwich like Franklin was suggesting or
like. I just enjoy sitting bed.
Regina's just laying eerily on her back in the bed, staring up
at the ceiling with like wide open eyes.
OK. I have a question, how does
short? Rest how do I gain back?
What do I have to roll to gain back like life from that or hit
points? I think it's you.
Can what are you? You're a warlock, right?
Wizard. Is it?
Oh, it's usually like. 1D6 I think.
Yeah, D6 plus your level. OK.
For one D6 per level, yeah. Yeah, and you can choose.
To roll all of them, or you can choose to roll just one.
Couple of them, yeah. And then they don't.
They don't refill until you take a long rest.
Yeah, those. Those are your Hit Dice, as they
call them. OK.
So they don't. Don't reset until you take a
long rest. The OK, so after a short rest do
I get whatever like the D6? You can choose to roll however
many dice you have, so like if you're a level 6, you can you
have up to six D6 that you can roll.
To. Get your hit points back.
But. They don't you.
They don't refill until you take a long rest.
Oh damn. OK, I feel like I'm going to
miss a lot if I take a long rest.
Long rest will be 8 hours. Yeah, I'll think on it.
I'll get back to you. I'll.
Think on. It.
How long is? I guess we have another hour
left at the fog, so I guess let's take a short rest then and
hope for the best. Probably.
I mean, I'm a healer too have. To roll hit dice, it's just it's
an option if we if you take a short rest.
OK, I think I. And you don't have to roll all
of them. You can choose to only roll like
two or three depending on how hard you are.
OK. While you guys are.
Cleaning up or resting as the case maybe are, Are the two of
you out here doing it? Anything in the fog?
Menaces to society right now. I turned to her so, so my swarm
is out there right now. They have blind sets so they can
see, but we can't and obviously they can't too.
So if we just, like casually wander in that direction to make
sure that whole all be mentally check in with them, hey, how's
it going? And they're like, if we head
over there and give them cover, I take out a like a burlap sack
that we just shove over here and then go into the Ponga Rocket.
Sounds like a plan to me. Thanks.
Hey Torito, how's it going? I just, I said all right.
Hey boss, what's that? You guys are attempting to
locate one of the small creatures that brings up to me,
or at least tell me where you are so that I could Mosey over
and scoop it. Up I I'm in your shell.
We'd sent a small contingent, I think.
Oh, OK. 'Cause he's, I was gonna hold.
You look over to your shoulder and you realize he's talking to
you from right next to your head in your.
Ears. Sorry, it's really foggy in
here, I can't see. Yeah, we don't have wait, do you
have like telepathy with him or is that is was that something
that you're actually saying? Well, so I I have telepathy with
the swarm, but I don't know if you're representing that as
Torino, the individual, or the swarm as a whole.
How does your telepathy portion work 'cause I think we talked
about it at one point and it's like you couldn't.
You can share one of their senses or something like that,
like sight sound. Yeah, I just see.
Do do do, do. When I can, when it's 100 feet
from me within 100 feet, I can communicate it, communicate with
it telepathically and as an action, I can see through its
eyes and hear what it hears and until the start of my next turn.
So I'll just do that and look through them if possible.
I will give you. You should have control of that
swarm there. Let me ping.
Cool. All right, so I turned to
Phelan. You can't see this right now,
but so looks like there's a big Jelly between the swarm and the
goo monsters. There's a big model goo monster
that a baby goo monster way at the back about 102030405060 feet
down the hall. They're dotting fog right now.
So let's forward like 20-30 feet, get some of the fog, and
then the swarm will go ahead and try to eat one up.
Oh. Yeah, actually let me see if I
have any spells or anything I could use to, like convince them
otherwise. Suggestion creatures.
And that's going to be perfect. To give you a swarm's
perspective of things too a little bit more, because if
you're seeing through them, you sounded like you get also their
other senses. They were moving forward up into
this point, but when you kind of taken control of them, they
stopped their movement because your your last instruction was
to capture one of them. But they had kind of just jumped
around some of them and couldn't figure out exactly how to
capture them. So that you can, you can.
Sense almost a a a feeling of relief when you took control of
them, so to say, because they're like.
Somebody, how do we actually catch things?
We don't have thumbs. Yeah, they were just kind of
like pretending to work when you know the boss isn't looking.
Guys, we didn't know what to do. All right.
Well, I think I have a Plaid. Let's see, I'm going to take out
two of the. Two of the poo symbols
confidently stroll out of the fog.
Look at these two and cast a suggestion on them.
Other than hissing at you, nothing immediately happens when
the first one sees you. The the, the, the Mama bear one,
so to say, and like a narrowing of their eyes, because they they
they still feel they're at the a safe distance of, you know,
almost 50 feet away. Bryce.
So, oh, it's a 30 foot range. So I will, let's see, I will
move forward very slowly with my arms out, be like high.
It's totally going to be a 5. Animal handling with Advantage.
Oh, that's great. Thank God for advantage. 15
You're welcome my son. Yeah, that first one was a net
one. It's definitely thank him for
that. So you you're able to stop it
from running away. It is kind of prepared in an
almost a flight stance though like it's heads looking over
it's shoulder and it's like. Making gestures for the little
ones to run away. Oh yeah, I totally get that to
do. I'll cast a suggestion on them.
On the little ones. So it'll be Wisdom saving throw
of 16. Wisdom Roll, Danny Roll.
It's looking like it wants to crash.
It's a creature, so I can only do one.
You do it on the closest one I would guess, rather than the far
one. I did not make it.
Great look at. Their instance?
What was your suggestion? I hold out a poop symbol and I
say you should get it. You should cup see by Cool
House. Take this and wheel yourself
into this rock. Franklin's not about free or
free will. Bill's suggestion.
Oh yeah, here let me cast cast on BTT, something that's not
directly harmful to it. I remembered that.
Instead a sentence or two. That's what I was trying to
remember too, So I guess that would still technically fall in
that. That pop in.
Be charmed are immune to this. It didn't show up.
I heard something. Oh yeah 'cause you gotta who do
this display on VTT? I don't know if that's what you
clicked on. 'Cause I think if you just click
on the spell itself instead of cast it would it should work.
Oh, display on display in VTP not cast and it says creature
not humanoid. Thank God.
You feel your. I had to, that's why I had to
read through it all there because there was a bit of a
caveat in there. You feel it.
It's wanting to take effect, but then kind of just sliding off
the goo. In in in a more sensational
sense, because you're not seeing any of the spell take effect,
obviously with that. And if.
It starts moving away. Damn well, the first Plan A
didn't work. Oh no.
What's plan BE? I mean, there's a giant slide
monster right there, so I don't really know if I want to like,
go forward and like, try to capture this thing.
La La La La la. I think we should.
I'll walk back into the fog to where I stepped through this
goo. We're going to collect a bunch
of this and see if it has a similar effect.
And then we'll go, we'll we'll have to go hang out.
Or I could set Torito on guard on the pocket rocket if we want
to, just to stay away from the slime guy.
I mean, I can still kind of wait it out outside and keep watch
because if I go inside, the fog comes inside too.
Well, the fog coming inside is not such a big deal.
It's more of the fact that we're in danger.
It really. I look back at the giant slime
monster that's slowly moving forward, and then back at the
wall of fog. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't
notice that this giant gelatin, this cube, was going to be
walking up on you. You know what?
Through the fog and as soon as it touches you, you'll probably
get evaporated like we somebody touched something at some point
and something bad happened. So.
Or did somebody fart? Or did someone fart?
I don't remember. That's a good question.
Anyway, so we could stay out here, but you have to like just
keep moving or you could go at it.
We could both go at a Pagaraga, exit to Dorito and he stays away
because he's got, I mean, he could move faster than slide
Buster. Yeah, just for shits and
giggles. Mommy, could you roll me Wisdom
saving throw? Oh, oh, I I can't.
Is it? Oh no, she's going to.
Forget some sort of thing. She's going to forget she has
skin. But I'm inside in the bathtub.
What'd you get there, 14? Yeah, you forget what you were
doing for the what you were planning on doing for the next
while. All your thoughts, they're kind
of all jumbled now too, because you got towards the bath and
you're like warm bath. It doesn't seem out of place.
It just seems as if you'd, you know, lost your train of
thought, but to the point where you literally have forgotten.
Like you. You keep trying to remember,
like, wasn't I supposed to be doing something?
I don't remember what that was. All right, so fail it if you
want to move back a little bit so I could collect the rest of
the goo from this dead guy. We could then both go into the
pocket rocket. Sure, grab a sandwich or
something with our friends, Sammy.
You guys are standing there and
collecting the goo towards the end of your collections of it,
if you're Since you're standing in the fog, you can't see the
things around you or I. Was going to try to move.
Away so that the fog would move away from the goo.
Oh, OK. I got you.
Let me see if I can do that. I put it on a met Blair.
That's about where it would be right now, where you're at
currently. It's You can communicate as you
need, Franklin. I mean, you're still covering
it, but I could always look through by swarm's eyes and like
that, I could collect it. But if you want to.
I think I. Can technically I can move back
a little bit more, I think, yeah.
If you could get like like 5 feet either to the left or to
the South. Those are different terms for
direction, but that's fine. That good?
That's perfect. Awesome.
Be careful of the big cube. Yeah, I got.
Bye guys, watch them. Bye guys.
Watch. So by the time that you finish
collecting, however much goo if you want to, let's what are you
trying to collect it with? That would be my first question
for that. And how?
Let's see, what do we got? We've got rocks and dirt inside
fashions, A tinderbox, a water skin.
I'll empty the water skin out and I'll stick the I'll push it
so that there's no air in there and then I'll stick it into the
goo and then like try to pull the edge or the the edges of the
water skin out to like create suction.
Probably like, probably like 3. So we'll say you get, like, get
like a. It takes longer than you're
expecting because you're like you're like inflating and
deflating the bag to try and get more of it in there.
You know, because it creates that section on there.
You keep spurting some of it back out while you're trying to,
you know, put more of it back in there.
So you probably get like a a liter of it inside of the water
skin if you want to relabel your water skin for me.
Sure, these are. Remember not to drink this.
Because after you drink it, you'll forget that you weren't
supposed to do. Drink some more.
Oh, that. 'D be funny.
Green Cue water skin. Perfect one liter.
But by the time you're finished
doing going through that escapade, 2 of things I I think
the fog would have slowly started to dissipate to the
point where you can start to see through it now and you can see
your friend. It's kind of just hanging around
down around your guys's waist. I can see again, excellent.
Do we want to get the others? Do we want to get the others?
Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
Also, was Warren having sex with this wall earlier?
I know what sex is now. Oh, how did you learn that?
I don't know. I woke up one day full of fear
and anger and hatred and also I knew what sex was and my brain
hurts. When I start to think about
something about a, it's like Ohio I.
All right. Yeah.
We'll, we'll, we'll not, we'll let's not ponder on that, if
that makes your head. Manny chimes in with.
Just don't. Don't teach the other one that
yet. Yeah, yeah, that's probably
smart. That'd be weird.
She's She probably has to process a lot of things
personally before she could ever be ready for something like that
as an adult. Also, is she alive?
Is she like one of those odd dead creatures?
Let's. Go.
Let's go check. In on her.
Yeah, let's go. Torito, watch this.
Thanks bud.
OK, bots. And then you guys poof into the
rock and falls to the ground and Torino just sits there making
cricket noises. You guys come through and the
purple smoke that you'd seen your compatriots disappear from,
let me see real quick here too. Oh.
You'd probably see Mommy. Standing in front of the doorway
to your left as you come through the portal, scratching their
head, fully cleaned and everything too.
Like was I supposed to be doing something?
Did Mommy forget something? Yeah.
I think also Mommy. I don't know how's it going?
It's a weird place to hang out. Mommy doesn't?
No. I mean, it's comfortable, yeah.
Wait, there's two of me. I'm assuming this is not the one
that's happening. I'm.
Assuming yes, that's the one I I guessed that you'd like,
finished cleaning up while they were still doing their
shenanigans and like started walking back to like check on
the other companions that fell asleep.
Just kind of like walking around and like we're trying to make
your way to the portal because you assumed whatever you had to
do was outside of the. Pocket Rocket, but you still
couldn't remember it, and that's when you ran into your
companions that were walking back inside.
I thought you were going to take a bath, right.
Oh, the bath sounds real nice. Yes.
Bath. Yes.
Mom is going to run off towards the head of Griselda 4B.
Run towards the baths and through the middle chamber into
the. Tertiary chamber with the
running water and waves and and you do see a headless Griselda
in a bathtub also. Just like last time, Mommy's not
going to recognize that Griselda's headless.
They're just going to recognize that it's Griselda does not
detect that anything's wrong. Just like, yeah, Griselda, yeah.
Starting to get a little bloated, but you gotta do
something about her. Because the ice has stopped,
started to melt that was in the bathtub before, or pretty much
completely melted at this point, I would guess.
Not mom is just going to keep walking because it's not their
problem and not get into any of the tubs, but get into the
water. And you are walking by to the
skeleton in the cage, the skeletal remains, that is a
form. Just a a mound of skeletal
remains pushing itself up against the cage like it's
trying to get at you at or or anybody that walks by it.
Where's the cage? This direction.
Oh yeah, that's not going to bother me.
You were meditating? Vomira and Regina?
Or were you guys like, fully full on sleeping?
Meditating, Sleeping with my eyes open.
Right. So you guys walk into the that
would have been the first thing the other two see other than
mommy had just seen that move, those characters.
Around there you you see mommy walk back down the hallway, and
then you see. Regina sitting bolt upright at
the end of another dim hallway that's more like hewn into rock
than the other ones that have been nice to that point with
their eyes wide open, unflinching.
Franklin. I do that too.
That's scary as shit. Thank you.
Friends. Hey, how are you feeling?
I I do not feel. I just think you do not feel.
Meanwhile, I have a thoughtless blank stare on my.
Face. Do you think that's the real?
Question. Oh, you know what?
And I turned to feel Ed, Were you here a couple of sessions
ago when we got those skull rhizomes?
The I don't think, OK, you know, what I've always heard is really
good for help for people unpacking their trauma is taking
care of plants, right? I've never heard that, but I
also don't spend a lot of time with.
People. But I believe you.
Yeah. Oh, well, I think we've got
something, Regina, that you might like a lot.
Are they dead plants? They are plants that turd
things. Dead undead.
I like the undead, Yeah. I kind of figured you got a
whole vibe. Thanks.
All right. I think you have one, Ash has
one and Flint has one because you guys kind of split them up
after all three. Kind of digging them out of the
ground from under the skeletal remains in the first place.
Didn't we pass them? No.
I don't think you guys. Noted them yet?
You you were talking about doing something like that?
Yeah. OK, I'll pull one out here.
So this was it. The place we were just at.
But the first robe was full of three of these things on the
ground, and it looks like root that looks like a skull.
A root with a skull, you said. Like roots in the shape of a
skull. And they're.
And they're like. Dangling with their little
tendrils down from the back of it, almost like a spinal cord.
So that giant skeleton monster outside or at the cage?
Yes, that was a bunch of regular scout like bodes.
And then when they were put on these things, they became
skeletons. Wow.
And so we dug them up, and I figured you might like one.
I'm not huge. I like the I'm not a big corpse
guy, you know, But you seem to be.
Everybody's a corpse, guy. You wait long enough.
Look off. That's unfortunately not always
true. I see, but thank you for the
here. What are we going to do with it?
That's totally up to you. My plan was to, as we kill
people, bring their skeletons in here and either feed them to the
skeleton monster to make it bigger or use them or like store
them in boxes. And eventually, when we need a
skeleton army, we use these skull rise up to turn them into
skeletons and then release the pods somewhere.
I'm fully on board. That sounds awesome, but it's
your rise up now so you do whatever you want till and I
skip off. I'm going to stroke its head
nicely and give it a little kiss on the top of its head.
And as your thoughts are coalescing from that short rest
that you were able to take while they were out there, the last
image of your mom form forms in your mind again hazily so you
can still see her image. That is part of the effect of
that particular spell. And only steals it for for a
short period of time, for for some, for something else.
Oh, Mom. You came back.
All right, where is everybody? Please dress up the skeleton or
the skull rhizome as your mom and start talking to it like.
Mom as long. As it gets the attention.
Off of me from being your mother.
I'm a OK with that, mom. Question I have This is Jillian
asking, not Regina. I have the ability for or the
spell for Find familiar. Can I turn the skull into my
familiar and call it Mom? Fuck yes.
It is an option, yeah. I mean it is alive, it has, but
it is it is a plant alive undead.
You know, if you know what I mean, right, that that's what it
would be classified as right now anyways.
Let me pull up. You can get a jar of awakening
sometime. What's a Jar of Awakening turns
a plant into a plant monster I'm.
Sick. OK.
A sentient plant monster. I mean, I like this idea.
You do? You do you do you?
I'll shut up, all right. I thought Franklin was supposed
to be the character that gets influenced.
He's got new to influence. He's growing, yeah.
He's levelled up. He's been through eurythmic
brassic, is that. Be like a skill you become Yeah.
Is this like a skill you can become proficient in
influencing? Others.
Yeah, it's charisma. Yeah, I have a + 5 right now
all. Right.
And a + 8 for insight. Catching evil plans Proficiency
so I can tell what people's weeks points are and then
exploit them all. Right, so I'm turning this into
my familiar, but only lasts for an hour.
No. That doesn't sound right.
Thing. Wait a minute.
True. What am I doing?
What's the spell called? It's unfamiliar.
Takes an hour. Yeah, it takes a casting time of
one hour. Wow.
So it takes forever or until it dies.
Yeah, so you have to do like ritual magic on it then?
OK, I'm just continuously stroking its head saying it's OK
mom, I'm back, I'm here. And then I guess it's do that
for an hour until it comes to. Then it just lasts forever until
it dies. Yeah pretty much as to what I
understood too I I have to can dismiss it and like re summon it
at will too. So you could like finger snap
and it poofs away and then finger snap and it comes back.
Nice. OK, it's just when it comes,
it's just going to be like a floating head that just kind of
zombie moans. And I'm going to call it mom.
That's awesome. An animal form.
It's bad leading stick in a wig. OK, so it always obeys your
command. In combat it rolls with the same
initiative. OK, OK, Swarm basically, though
I don't know what stab block you're going to use for that.
It has it's it's something in here, It says some stuff in here
and at least that can't attack for options.
Unoccupied. Oh, yeah.
There's yeah, the options up there.
Yeah, that's what I was meaning. But no, I I'll.
I'll figure that all out for you eventually.
OK, how do I know how many hit points?
For for now, we'll just say 5. Five.
I'll write that down. Just off hand but I'll I'll I'll
create something more definitive in the future because it'll take
a little bit of more more researching on my on my part
because this is completely home brewed that that thing that they
found doesn't exist anywhere I made that up the the thing that
you're you're doing to it kind of like off the fly I I I dig it
though so I'll figure out how to make it work for you.
OK, what's the thing called again?
It's. I mean, you can rename it as you
will, but they've found it as a skull rise zone.
OK. I can see if I can like hand it
over or something. How do I display the?
ETC. You can't hand it over, but if
if you have your character sheet, I'm guessing you're using
a physical one like you're talking about too, then you can
just add it to your inventory that way.
I have the DND beyond. I'll just put it on right now.
OK, there should be something that I created.
Did I give you guys that one in your?
You gave it to me. Then it should.
It should be available to anyone so you can just take it out of
your inventory and search. When you go to manage inventory,
you can add Skull Rise zone and it should pop up OK.
If it doesn't let me know. Not seeing it.
So I had just under inventory in the search bar I put in skull.
It didn't go through. It says equipment add items.
It's not coming up there either. I mean or just do custom item.
That's probably what I ended up actually doing.
It might be. Because I think that was also on
the fly, like they were there, but you didn't expect us to sit
there and dig them up for three hours, right?
Yeah. OK.
I'll just add it in myself then. It's some help with Griselda at
some point if anyone can help, but I want to see what other
people are doing. Yeah Mummy, do you finish
cleaning yourself off and the matter?
You were probably woken up by the folks coming into from your
trance. But yeah, I don't know.
I was meditating and I was doing a recount, like a little check
on my MSG stash to see what I had left and.
What's the What's the verdict? I don't know.
I never had like a holy stop number.
You got a. Block.
Yeah, that's so I I didn't really.
I just wrote like I have a stash, so I wasn't sure how much
I had, how much I took, and how much I had left.
Yeah 'cause I thought you'd had like a a block of it and such
too, that you'd worried quite a while ago.
Yeah. You quarried it?
Yeah, I'll go to the MSG Mind where you can lick the walls and
get high. Yes, I wasn't sure how much I
had remaining. I mean if we want to make
something up now so that you have something to keep track of
it, I'd say you're probably at about halfway through that
whatever number we're coming up with here and we'll say that
that was like because you'd you'd gotten a decent amount I
want to say out of it. I'll just roll this and see what
happens. Yeah.
So you have like. Or we'll just round up and say
13 lbs. Oh, pounds.
OK. Yes.
Yeah. And every time you're taking
like a a a bump of it, you're taking, you know, an ounce or
two off of it. That's why we weren't really
keeping track of it. But OK, because you you'd gotten
like a block if I remembered correctly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
All right. So I'm satisfied with what is
left, so I take a bump. That's the Constitution, if I
remember correctly. I do believe it is.
Sorry, just writing down our quotes, Constitution.
High duration but this was just your morning one.
So you you're you're staving off the addiction currently the the
the everything. You still feel like you could
have another one, but you're you're.
I don't know how you're. Dealing with off a withdrawal at
this. Point Yeah, so that you have
still like a constant like -1 to your wisdom at stage one for
addiction. Is is the only thing that that?
Takes effect currently but with it to once you take that bump in
the morning I mean it it kind of levels you out to the to that
normal part but if you you're thinking about taking another
one and. I'll let you know.
Scratching your neck. Yes, I do that.
And then yes, I do that hear the commotion with Franklin and
whatnot. I guess I'll go out and see what
people are doing. Oh, you just mean the exchange
between Franklin and Regina? Yeah, yeah.
Gotcha Regina's. You walk past is sitting at the
mirror putting make up on a skull.
Yes, I'm going to make you so pretty, Mommy.
I just kind of give her an eye and keep walking.
You you go down the the ladder from the bedroom mezzanine and I
think Faith just walked into the room and just stopped and
haven't moved past there. At least it looks like to me
too. But Yep.
Like what am I dealing with again?
Yeah, pretty much. Why did I agree to join a group
of people? I don't like people.
How's mommy's bath going? Oh, that's great.
So I like, didn't go in the tubs.
I went into this bigger water, which looks like ocean water.
I know that there's like waves. Washing.
Up on the. Shore.
This looks like a beach scene some.
Just like in the water. Just like floating around,
swimming a little, just enjoying.
Some of the little fish come by you or eating bits of stuff that
fall off that you're, you know, grime that you've accumulated
Perfect. All is as it should be.
OK, that I mean. So did did Franklin get one of
those, like, goo monsters inside?
No, we were unsuccessful. OK,
sweet. Does anyone have any healing
potions or anything? Or no ours?
Mom made us. I have mangoes.
Oh wow. I'm really hungry.
I could use a mango right about now.
Oh, I'll. Serve Basil.
Oh, I'll take what I can get. I don't know that I can trade
anything worthwhile. You bring the basil out, mommy,
and as as you're like, looking. Oh wait, are we in the same
room? You guys can talk to each other
via Torx though. Is the question being asked over
the Yeah, intercom, I suppose. Hello.
Hi. I guess my friend.
Thinking through the your bag. Thinking about how you can.
Maybe not yet, too, because they're swimming.
Yeah, so like a swim over, Yeah, swim over the shore.
And I'm like, I hear this request and I'm like have
things. Do I really want to give them
up? I interest you in a trophy from
an animal I've killed from my possessions.
How does? What that's interesting, It's in
my inventory. I imagine it being just like.
It's just a trophy. It's.
Her mom's head, she just doesn't realize.
Animal you feel. I imagine it being just like a
little like taxidermy squirrel with a top hat.
Can I interest you in this trophy?
That's all I have does. It have any magical no.
Why am I envisioning this as Josh's squirrel character the?
First thing I do too, it's that's all I have.
So if that's not a fair trade, then it is what it is.
But you can have this lovely squirrel look.
I can make him dance and they like, make him do a little
squirrel dance. But she's not there.
So. You're.
Just doing it in the mirror. Like Normal came out of the
water and she's across the room. I didn't think she made it that
far yet into the room or anything.
I thought she just made it. Or.
No, I just went to the like the shore.
I'm still kinda in the water, OK?
And I guess no one saw that. That's OK.
Do you have any, is there is there any money that the
squirrel might hold that might come?
With the squirrel perhaps? Wave my hands and then point at
the best of money. The chests that you're pointing
at are empty. Bastards, Chet I, because we got
all that gold a couple sessions ago.
I forget. I think I had like 50 pieces of
gold. Let me see if I wrote it down.
Also too, mommy was going to say when you do bring the bushel of.
The basil out, it wafts up and you suddenly remember what you
were supposed to do, which was go outside and check on the
other ones that were messing around outside.
But then you're like, oh, OK, they're back inside her.
It's every everything's fine. Yes, all right.
I'm going to decide on giving out a mango instead of a bushel
basil, so I'm. Going to put our.
Basil. Back I forgot these basils are.
I haven't, and I had 50 pieces of cold, so I think I could part
way with some of these and I pull the squirrel's top hat off
and 10 gold coins fall out. I'll.
Take that Squirrel and Ted gold, gold coins and you can have Oh,
I thought, I thought this was for Basil.
I think the mango's actually going to do you better than
Basil. Thank you.
OK, here And then I hand you. I put the coins back in the
squirrel's hat and I hand over you my prized squirrel trophy in
exchange. For Oh my God, that is so good.
There you go. You, you, you, you go down from
the bedroom chamber to meet Mommy, who's still dripping wet.
I guess at this particular point too, after realizing where they
are and what's giant, what's this giant red bug on the floor?
That would. Hey, that's I'm, I'm Ferdinand.
How'd you do? Hi, Ferdinand.
How do you do? And I tipped the squirrel's top
hat to him. Who are you?
Oh, she's right, right? Weird.
Who? Who are you?
Ferdinand. I'm Regina.
I believe my name. I just gave you that be
Ferdinand. I'm gotten some little bit of
talking abilities from Franklin there.
Imbued us with some magic. We are, we lads when we are not,
but Lavae. And then you look up into the
rest of the chamber as he gestures and he's like, now
we're flourishing. Infection inside of the pocket
rocket, as you all call it, you see smaller crickets than him
attending larvae and such in the little pockets all across the
ceiling of and walls of the of the third chamber inside this
which you're standing in in in as a you've been walking through
almost like a cave system and the first chamber when you
crawled. Off of the mezzanine lay lay
level with the beds. There is a kind of a game room
with some general goods with the another upper mezzanine level of
skeletons off to the right across from the bed chamber
there's another larger and these are egg shaped chambers that are
like carved into rocket looks like but though there's one that
you haven't gone to yet. And there's one that you went to
the right after getting out of the bed chambers is got washing
facilities. It's got a whole bunch of.
It's got like a really large looking like stage that's
collapsible lights dangling from third level.
I guess you could call it from above, which you see some
hammocks up there now too, with like a walk catwalk going in
between the spaces up above. Oh, wow.
It's like a whole cladass. Nice friends.
Is this your home, Ferdinand? Boy, it is until Franklin says
otherwise. Oh, I'm just.
I'm just getting on in my ears here and looking off there.
A clan. Probably gonna have to think of
who my successor is. He's rubs his cricket chain with
his one hand kind of no. They don't live long, guys.
Since they were babies, How old are you?
Oh, I I thinking to translate it into your years.
I guess you'd say I'm probably in my yeah, shit, what are you
actually? And he looks you over.
And I don't think I've met one of your complexion before.
I'm a dark Elf, but my mom says I'm special.
Well, that that. I bet she's right there.
Anyway, So what? How long do Y'all live, Dada?
How long do elves live? Like 1000 years?
1000 years. Yeah, 1000 is is like way old,
but how come? That's like basically think of
it as like 100 for us. Welcome.
And for the for him, he's like, ah, well, this is going to be
even harder for you to understand then.
I guess you could put me at about 500 your years perhaps.
I don't. Math's tricky in that regard,
but all right. Our cricket lots are short.
Sorry to hear that, man. That crickets don't live long.
All right. Well, you.
Yeah, you. You enjoy that?
For the rest of your time. I.
Certainly Will. I'm about to go Shag, One of our
best. When he starts climbing up from
the walls, what is Shag not? Supposed to know yet?
You'll love when you're. No.
It just keeps walking away, OK? Now I know how Franklin learned
it. No.
All right. Well, can I eat 1/2 of this
mango or just have to be the whole thing?
Can I eat? 1/2 of this.
Mango or great question. It's Adm.
Also, will she grow one year younger?
Never spoils. Yeah.
So yeah, I will. Be even younger.
What if you eat like, how old are you?
What if you eat like 11 of them? If you're 11 or 12, I'm 10-8
more. What if you ate 11?
You could eat yourself out of existence.
There should be a little little fetus with a skull root
following me. So wait, so I have one mango and
it's D, or 10 D 4 + 20. Can I eat half of it?
If you do then it would be half that that amount of.
D So would that mean like what's the order of operations?
Is that like 5 D 4 + 10 or? Yeah, so it would be 5 D 4 + 10
Exactly. OK, that means I roll the D 4-5
times. Yep.
Oh, OK, well, that's more hit points than I have, so I'm just
gonna eat half of it and Max out.
Well, depending upon how that roll, I mean, or do you mean the
10 is more than hit points that you have 'cause you gotta you
could get all ones, that is true.
Go ahead and if I roll 5 ones plus 10 is more than I have left
to gain. So yeah, I just need 14 more so.
You could just technically then keep rolling the D4 until you
get to that to that certain point that you want to get in.
As long as you haven't run out of the the D Oh OK.
The D4 and and then say however many of that D4 you've used and
as long as you put it in like a custom note for yourself or
later and you come back and you're like, oh, I haven't eat
finish this mango. Sick.
OK, so that means that I still have half the mango and whatever
those points are. Yep.
Nice. That was well worth my my
special swirl. I don't remember even having
that in my inventory. I think it just came with my
character. So.
That tracks. Does it?
Yeah, mine tells. Me, I technically have like a
pet mouse, but like, you know. You've never noticed it.
So you would want a stuffed animal.
OK, just. The The game just blessed you
with a stuffed. Animal if you feel safer.
Well, I don't have that anymore. Did Mommy take the entire
squirrel or just the coins? The entire squirrel or the oh,
the squirrel on the coins? OK, I understand.
What'd you do with it? Just throw it in a bag.
It's in my backpack, yeah. I added it to my.
Can I visit him when I get lonely?
OK, maybe I'll be good. All right, I have.
I'm refreshed. I'll put this in my notes.
I'm refreshed. And I still have five hit points
left for one time. Need it?
Thank you. So I guess while like, all this
is happening, I'm just kind of, like, standing off, like away.
I talk into the torque just like, hey, Manny, whoa.
How do we get out of here? Pretty sure you just tapped that
poop Tarn around your necklace there.
No, not like here, but like the other here, 'cause there's the
cube and then there's. Are you asking for like a
reminder? Of like stairs.
Oh, you're talking about? Well, it's like we came in here
and one hallway was fire and the other hallway.
Has all these Jelly monsters and seems like it's like a loop.
It could be just about any one of my drawers in my desk.
I don't know where where the hell you are at, but.
Lovely, But I'm Tiss. Fire and Ice, baby.
Aha. I see.
So where? Where's here?
Perhaps that might be more illuminative to me.
If you could tell me where here is.
I don't exactly see where you're at at all times.
Not omnipotent in my prison. Oh.
Well, you know, that's a shame this.
This is a shame the. Fifth Level, 5th Loving Sound.
Fifth Level of Hell. OK, OK, now we're now we're
talking. So you're in the sad reaches of
anger. Yeah.
Did you go into a big stone looking ruin through like a
black portal door? Yes.
Pretty sure, yeah. Yeah.
You're in kind of a pocket of the fifth level, then.
That's the it's another demon's. It's a demon.
Another demon's layer there. That's actually where one of the
seals are. If you could break one of them
for me, that'd be great. Like we were talking about, you
know, open all the gates of hell and let me free.
Do you know how many seals there are?
Oh yeah, there is 13. Well, mine's the 13th, but
there's a a total of 12 others. You guys have.
You guys have did do the the, the third, the third, the third
level. That felt nice.
Gave me some wiggle room. I can see a little bit more of
things. OK.
So we're down to 11. The the one, the one demon
that's in managing position of this particular, I think it's
he's calling it the Acropolis these days.
Pretentious. Anyways, he was thinking, or
rather he's he's a demon of deception, so I'd watch out for
that. OK, he's probably just going to
try and trick you to release him and, you know, break the seal,
which is what you want to do anyways, so it's probably going
to be pretty amicable once you tell him that.
So there's a demon and the Acropolis.
Cramped. Of deception.
Got to be the cramped guy. And then there's one here.
And then we have. After that we have 10 more seals
to break to set you free. And then if we set you free, we.
We get out. Yeah, I'd say so.
I mean, I'll be free, so you'll be free.
Oh, oh, so you. Brought you.
Brought us here because you thought we were capable of
releasing you. No, I didn't.
Never brought any of you here. You guys all wandered in your
own cord not to. My not to my recollection, I
don't know. I recall beginning in a
labyrinth. Yeah, the labyrinth.
Is. I think that labyrinth was
definitely a level of health. I don't know what else that
could possibly be. Yeah, 'cause I remember being
one place and then nothing, and then in another place.
Your memory was all. Shotty, yeah.
We were underground. There was no sky.
There were pipes. There was a fucking sewer.
There was, yes. That was the lemons.
I don't know. I don't know about all that.
Pretty nice compared to some of these levels.
Hey, like they say, when you're going through hell, you got to
just keep on going. Uh huh.
Don't turn back. Maybe the real hell is the
friends we've made along the way.
Oh God, that's absolutely hell, Franklin smiles.
Widely. Oh Jesus, I hate that.
Please don't. Who's Jesus?
Shouldn't you be invoking like I don't know, the Savior or some
shit? Sorry, sexy Satan exists, but
dot Jesus? I haven't come up with a name
for him yet. Sorry, I don't.
I don't know. He's He's the savior and the
Elementor the the savior hasn't been found yet.
Turns out the savior was just. You meanwhile you're the savior.
Meanwhile, Manny is listening into you guys conversation but
says you know, I could be Jesus. It sounds like a good plot line
for me. You have to reborn.
Don't. Think you want to die?
Were you born from a virgin? Don't miss to fool.
Yourself. I got it.
When we bring once you once you unseal the the 9th level, I
think he's on the ninth level. He'll be my Jesus.
I got it. What's a Virgin?
The Savior's on the 9th. Level No.
You're even younger now, no? My.
Mom off limits? So discussion.
Just no, not your. Dad, but I'm not.
Like that bad child about sex. It's like when the cat jumps
over me, just no anything watching for years or years for
three years then. So we're in like, so we're in a
little pocket thing of the fifth level.
You are or in a pocket. In a pocket.
Yeah, yeah. Ignoring to leave this guy, the
actual physical location of myself in the pocket Rocket,
we're in a pocket in. The fifth level.
So many. Pockets section just pockets all
the way down guys. Maybe that's the key.
I pull out the other stone. We've got another one.
Maybe each level of hell has a pocket that has a seal that
needs to be broken. Oh yeah, I that is what I've
been telling you pretty much. Oh, well, you know, we're all
thick headed around here. Bullshit.
I thought I was the one drinking my own piss.
Bumblequot, man. You haven't told a shit.
Yeah, my piss is. Oh, yeah, Franklin.
Sorry. Yeah.
Don't do that. Yours is an alcoholic.
Mine is. That is interesting.
I don't pee and. Don't drink anything that anyone
tells you is not immediately safe.
I tried Griselda's blood. That was good.
I feel like that's more safe than any other liquid, honestly.
Yeah, look at her. We got to do something about
her. It's starting to look up in the
tub. I Insight.
Check Mommy. I have a passive 18.
You know she's dead, right? Like, not.
Well, she's undead, but like. Oh, stop it.
Griselda can't be dead. You.
Guys. Wait.
My hand, where her head was. There's no headache.
Stop smacking. From.
Dead. You don't.
Franklin. Franklin.
You're new here.
I know, I know. You don't get it.
But Griselda doesn't need dead. She's undead.
I don't know. Fine.
Look, look over. I'm confident that at least 50%
of Griselda is in that tub, which means.
She's right. Insight check that or Arcana
check that. If she looks like she's rotting,
right? Starting to OH, are you trying
to Insight? Check Griselda now is.
What you're saying? I thought, that's true.
Mommy probably actually believes that, yes.
Yeah. You're quite certain that this
is a barbarian level of understanding here.
You know the. Could I do it either that
feathers can't be heavier than steel?
Yes. I will attempt to.
Could I do a? Gosh.
I turn to her and I say OK, but like if I were to cast a spell
that targets living people and it doesn't work.
Pretty sure, but like you could cast, you could cast spells at
her before, right? Just out of your necklace.
You Franklin, Manny Pulis's Lost Cause.
I'm just, I'm going to be. Like, I don't, I don't know,
Franklin. I don't do magic.
I don't, I don't worry about magic things.
All I know is. That.
Grizzled is. That's true.
OK, so then would you mind helping B squeeze all the juice
out of her so that she can get better faster, Right.
Because like. I'm just going to pause for a
second. I.
Feel like I I feel like this should be a role undead need.
Persuasion. No, A roll on Mama's part.
Well, yeah, I mean. Maybe just like just like a
straight role for like, intelligence or something.
I just feel like it'd be funnier to like to slip the dice.
Yeah, for sure. Nice.
Decide what you would want to. Agreed.
Yeah, You want to rule an intelligent saving throw against
just to make it as, as, as, Yeah, perforation.
Exactly. It's just to make it as very
possible, yes. Sure.
Before I say this, I'll be well before I like anything happens,
let me explain to you guys because I don't know if
everyone's aware of. The properties going on does
everyone. Is everyone aware that
Griselda's blood turns people temporarily undead?
I do because I think I drank some.
Yeah, so several of us has drank some of Griselda's blood.
It turns you temporarily undead. Now that's not super useful in
itself, but. While in this state, if you were
to bite someone, they turned into real undead and.
Wait, who turns into real undead?
So if you were to take some of herbalae to become temporarily
undead and then bite someone, that person becomes actually a
zombie. Oh, got it.
Now you know, this has a bunch of potential uses.
Like we could use it surprise people or might take out one of
the Astro Diamonds. This astral diving place that
you guys said you went to, I was thinking we could release my
swarm with this boy with the under this effect to bite
everything in front of us into zombies and then we take it too
and then become zombies temporarily.
And zombies. Run through the Max amount of
levels as possible, turning everyone undead.
Exactly. Either turning a road to dead or
a pretty sure a deads don't like they're not aggressive to each
other. If you want to like, really
cheese the system also really, I'm interested.
You guys talked about this other place that we went to.
Do you think we could like rent an office there?
I pull out a bag of diamonds. Well, I woke up one day and I
had this bag of diamonds. Diamonds.
Master diamonds. I have no idea.
I just woke up with that. Where did those come from?
And and at the bottom of the note you remember Ishmael was
the Ishmael's infinite tower, was the person that signed it.
Yeah, I'll pull the note out too and I'll hand it over.
You pretty sure this is some kind of like pocket pocket to
that? Should that we could go to
Mamae's memory of a time when you thought you were asleep and
you didn't trust whoever was sitting across from you at a
mahogany desk to give them give them your name.
So you gave them Franklin's name?
I was there for that. So Franklin ended up with the
astral diamonds that you probably should have gotten.
I've been using those bread crumbs and I was struggling
about like to like traps and stuff.
I was. Throwing them, I think they're
just diamonds. But if you So what did they do?
Use something. You'd go to sleep with them.
You get transported to this other place, right?
This, the note says if you eat one.
If you eat one, yeah, for a long rest.
Yeah, 250, probably a little less because I've been chalking
them two. 150 Probably less because I've been chalking.
I think we should all take a long.
Run Do we like the idea of them? Is that a?
Is this? Is this a good plan?
I think since there's so many, obviously we.
Can't use. Them for like this is not like a
one time use only right? Like we don't know what's going
to happen. We go to sleep and this takes us
some place, but like, so I guess when we wake up we come back
here. So we'll go back again.
So I don't think do you think we want?
To check it out, we want to do that.
Now with the pocket rocket in this pocket, Dangerous pocket in
the fifth level, or do we want to move the pocket rocket
someplace safer? We probably need to move the
pocket rocket to someplace safer.
I'm just pointing out that we need Griselda's blood for my
Plaid, and right now she's starting to go a little sour.
There's a whole kitchen over here.
I was going to just grab some bottles and then like, we could
toothpaste there. Because I think once the blood's
out, it's easier to store it. Yeah, we could put it in the
fridge. Versus a.
Magical cold box, I mean. Versus a decaying body.
Yeah, so those are all the cards on the table.
OK. I mean and in the end, like if
Griselda, if Griselda. Meets.
We're going. Back.
Right. We have it, and we can always
give it back to her. OK.
All right. OK, You're going to have to go
get some bottles. Yeah.
Quite a few, and she's just been getting squishier since she's
been soaked it. Is squishy.
Yeah, so. But otherwise this this infinite
tower place seems to be like a little side pocket dimension.
And I was thinking, since we have so many of these, if we
could get some of these diamonds to some other people that we
need to like move around, we could like meet up in one
central location, you know? Do we know the name of this
place? No, that's true.
But we don't. We gotta we gotta test that with
less diamonds work yet? Whoever should have has done it
before. Oh.
Yeah. Do we remember the actual name
of this place? Ishmael's infinite tower, Yes.
Oh, you guys. That's right.
I was like there was like a actual title to it.
Yeah, uh huh. It's like a loot game.
Like a loot side game. That's the thing that I was.
That I died in, Yeah, And then. Then you come back.
Stole things from. Yeah, yeah.
Well, we all died in. Oh, but you like, died.
Come back, so to say, into this reality, just not in the.
Yeah. He he'd said.
Why? Why you didn't trust him is like
you had to keep going in the tower until you died and then
you would get kicked out. But the the note also said that
he was happy with your progress and wanted to see what else you
could achieve. Basically, yeah, but but
Franklin was the only one that got astral diamonds like
everyone else just got like some sort of like prize.
I got death. Shesam you you got you got to
level up. I did get a level up, but I
sweet sweet sweet sweet release. So anyway, yeah, so maybe we
should. Go.
That's what I think and try to befriend Ishmael.
And what if we turn? Ishmael.
Well, I don't know. He controls that space.
So like if he turns into a zombie or dies or something like
that, like what happens to that space?
Like I think we should try to flip him to be on our side and
then we could use it as like a secret base.
That could be fun. Yeah, also you know if if the
tower resets every time right then we could totally at least
one time before he like adds a rule against it.
Do this undead trick where we just get as far as possible with
as big of us as possible as fast as possible by just turning
everything into zombies and then just get some like, dope ass
shit. But food for thought, Food for
thought. I'm not mad about anything, but
for now, you guys talk about yourselves, I'll be able to go
get some bottles so that we could get some Griselda juice.
What happened to the? Metal wise or in game?
The matter. Who knows?
The matter was there. There, you talk.
In the game, I guess. I don't know.
Talking to who? I space out every now and then
it's. Regina, Just asking why there's
a dead person in a bathtub. I'm not going to ask the
question, but I will listen into the answer.
Oh, well, you know, we had to make sure she was just taken
care of in the afterlife, so we put her in the bathtub to
preserve her body as long as possible.
How did she die? I like take a large swag of my
flask. Constitution with disadvantage.
So now I'm mixing. OK, I wasn't sure if you'd
thought about that. That's why I was asking for a
disadvantage. OK.
Hey. You know for two nines though
that's funny you still you still are are tipsy.
You gain advantage on Charisma based saving throws currently,
which probably negates my -1. Oh wait, no.
That's intellect and wisdom. Wisdom.
It was just, yeah, OK, OK, Yeah.
You know, things happen, people die.
That's that. OK.
All right. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like
shifting like from like foot to foot.
And like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like you can tell I'm very,
like, uncomfortable. I don't know if you can tell.
Yeah, I know. I was going to say child insight
there. I don't know.
Yeah, you'd. Probably just be thinking to ask
the next why question. Probably.
Yeah, it's a child. Yeah, if it's a child, they're
probably actually just saying why.
Why? Why?
'Cause I said so, yeah. Why do you?
That's when you start ignoring. My favorite question back for
them is usually why do you keep asking?
Good. Why do you want?
To know? Yep.
Pretty much. Give them a little while to Mull
that one over before they come up with the next Y and you went.
Away. They could hit you back with
well, why are you asking? Why do you want to know?
You asked me first. I'll log it right back.
I want to know 'cause. You want to know?
So I do. I like, take the sip.
I'm uncomfortable, kind of like dodge the answer and then I just
kind of like look over at the skeletons and kind of like, nod
my head. Did you kill her?
Absolutely not. I've tried to save her life.
Does the skeleton move at all? Is or is it just like?
It's just mindlessly trying to push its way through the bars
and like it's doesn't like pieces of it will fall off and
then go back into the mass. Dumbly, like like parts of like
a like a femur or something will fall out and then it'll like
wriggle back up the wall into the mess.
That's freaky. I don't like that.
That's alarming. Can I wave to the skeleton and
say hi, oh, let's not do that. There's an arm of an
unidentified creature that pops out and waves back at you with
no words. I'm not good at social cues, but
I'll take the hint. I.
Dragged back some big like jugs or something from the bar area.
While you grew over there, you found an empty barrel rolling it
back. Over toxic barrels.
Roll it. Hey guys, I got a barrel.
What's in it? Yeah, but we're going to put
Griselda's goo in there, hopefully big enough it's.
Like a usual size for a barrel, so like 5053.
Gallons Oh. Or should we put like 100% proof
ethanol in there and then stick Griselda in there as a whole and
pickle her and then and infuse the alcohol?
Oh. No, it's not just not Michelle.
That's all. I'm just assisting and getting.
All right. Do we have to create a makeshift
siphon? Siphon.
Or like a squish thing. Oh, we could just like, roller
flat squeeze. Oh, I was just going to pick her
up. And like, invert her?
Yeah, so she's head side. Down so that works.
Drips out. I like that idea of.
Anything. You said toothpaste.
Like a bag of stuff or clothes or oh, OK.
Yeah, you guys did see when you looked at the skeleton gauge
like some makeshift, like stay back signs next to the bars.
There's a turtle right there. They're.
Just mulling them out inside of the pool.
Same. Same with the fish and
everything too. They'll come up on the island
and like bathe in the light of the fairy lights for a while
before going back in or something.
I mean, you can be there. Why you can be there.
Why can't I be there? I think Franklin's saying he has
the makeshift signs over here. Where?
The skeleton.
Oh. Yes, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like.
No, he's in this big cage. Isn't?
Isn't this where the skeleton is?
Yeah, he's contained. Just don't touch him.
Never mind. That's right.
Do I need to So we captured it. I don't remember the skeleton
getting in there pull. I think it was, it was me and
one other person was on and we basically pulled them in.
Ash, Ash and Johnny, right? Yeah, Ash and Flint.
Ash and Flint. Yeah, and we like, tricked them
in to the pocket rocket and then locked them in here.
Yeah, because I'm. I also missed that episode and
showed up Franklin Monster in a cage.
Eating Griselda's head. Oh.
Yeah, yeah, Mamas mom is starting to to gather some
thoughts. And I was like, maybe I should
talk to the other members of. The party?
Think Franklin. 'S I've just collected powerful
barsters as I use this child. It's not boarding until you're
an adult. True, I'll disguise self to
turn, make myself look like I'm wearing Ash Ketchum's uniform.
Bought my pokedex. Got to catch them all.
I'm just saying, like having a
giant colossal skeleton. What day?
Super helpful, right? Right now not helpful.
What day? Very helpful.
Coming through your torques too, once you pulled out the Pokedex
was the theme song for Pokémon maybe.
Sung poorly by a drunken the old actual version, not the new
version. I didn't.
I don't even acknowledge what there's a new version.
Yeah, yeah. I begin getting a headache
anyway. I mean, like the skeleton's not
mine, it's the groups, right? Like, the idea is we have a
powerful base up our sleeve. If we get into a fight and we
need to like, you know, we could suck that up.
We all stayed here. We release the skeleton monster.
We hang out. Wait.
Then go finish them off. And if you touch the skeleton.
No, don't touch the skeleton. It'll eat your head.
And I look at Griselda. Getting some information.
Yeah. Oh, you'd like to keep my head?
Yeah, it's probably a good decision.
You did it. I'm pretty sure it'll live.
How much time is? Yep.
Unless. You're.
My mom still cooking. You mean like the stat block on
her? Or.
Like. Or is she in the kitchen when
you have a sandwich like all of the above above it?
Was supposed to be an hour between when I, like, cast the
spell to when I had my mom back to life.
Wait, so has all this been in fog?
No. Faded before we came back.
OK, I was like, wait a second. Now the to answer your question
though about the familiar aspect of it is an hour has passed
probably by that point, while you guys have been Wheeling a
barrel out talking about the next moves.
But you're you're only getting a sensation of life and like a
connection to the. To the to your mom to know.
And so to everybody else's appearance that you're still
just talking to like a root ball that's shaped in a skull with
like 10 year olds of of root that kind of form down into, you
know, like I described there of a spinal cord of sorts.
But you know, sometimes it does talk back to you in your head.
OK, gotcha. Will it?
And and kind of like waking up still ish, but I wouldn't say
that it's. Your mom, although you might
still perceive it as that. Oh, yeah, no, I Jillian knows
it's not the mom. But Regina is a little
delusional. Gotcha.
Just making sure. Oh, yeah, yeah, we're.
We're in our delusions. Straight here is all it's gotta.
Yeah, we live in the delusion, Claire.
How? In hell, guys, if her mom is
dead, we can go find her soul and bind it to this thing.
I. Don't know.
If my mom is dead. We can I'll.
Find out up above and make sure it happens.
Oh, thank you for the main campaign.
Two very different methods, I said.
We can find out. You said we can make sure she
is. Don't kill my mom.
Some people have Tommies. I think people have mommy
issues. Some people have sacrifices.
I remember when I Bob died. No.
Yeah. Uh huh.
Same day I did. Your mom died, Franklin.
Are you undead, Franklin? No, I look around, we're all in
hell, guys. Do you think you're all any of
you are really alive anymore? I remember dreaming of dying.
I don't think I've ever felt alive.
Just. Remembered I've never felt
Anyway, do we want to squeeze Griselda out and then see if we
could bring her out like a towel?
Yeah, we do that. I'm waiting.
You've got the barrel. Yeah, wait for you to bring the
collection container. Over.
Ferdinand, my old friend, come on down.
You're doing great. All right, boss, tone down the
next. Contestant on The Price is
Right. Or he'll be trying to keep it
clean for you. He's such a good guy.
We're gonna squeeze this corpse out into this barrel here is
that. OK.
Oh, you. Want to help me move this over
there? Oh, I can help you a little bit,
but not too many of us are my size yet.
But I think we could try to ring up, ring up some kind of chain
of our own bodies so that we could hang the corpse from it if
somebody can proffer her up. Sure.
That or I made like I look around at the other days.
Mabe is pretty big. Could you just pick her up and
like hold her over yourself or is this going to take like a a
while? I just need the picture of.
Yourself. No, I have moved the barrel
over. I just need that.
That's what I was going to do. I just need the barrel.
That's a. Do I have to move the?
Barrel that has to move the barrel.
Yeah, I need the barrel. Like, Yeah, Perfect.
I can do that now, all players. Am I crazy?
That turtle wasn't there before, but it has.
To be It's all crazy. Anna, yes, I'm going to pick up
Griselda and like, kind of throw over her, over my shoulder like
a sack of potatoes. But her head's going to be like,
pointing forward, like in the same direction as my face.
I'm just going to like, slowly tip more and more over.
Because Griselda. I can roll it.
No, I think you you can pick her up and very big.
So this should not be too difficult and all around, no
problem. You're going to hold her up like
you said. On your shoulder like a sack of
potatoes, with the the head stump facing towards the open
barrel. Nothing really comes out at At
first, though you can tell that the wound has started to
cauterize of some, you know, like Geal on the front of it.
She's been sitting there in the cold for a while, so the blood
is congealed over the. Like a tooth, like old
toothpaste on the top. Made a scab.
I'm going to lower her down a little bit more.
So instead of you know, being or like the middle of her is on my
shoulder, I'm going to like tilt her forward so that like maybe
her knees are on my shoulder and I'm holding her like shins.
The rest of her is dangling forward so I want her to be like
lower down and. Look over at Franklin.
I'll be like what you're going to do now, I'll walk over.
And then I will extend my turtle claws and then stick both of my
hands into the neck hole and just kind of like mush around to
break the seal. You.
Mean your feet, hand, feet. They're not really.
Oh, they're. They do have a little bit of
like, like talons, I guess, on the ends of them.
But usually it's like very I. Mean I have.
I was just saying because my racial I have a racial ability
claws, I guess. Claws that I can make unarmed
strikes with. You normal turtles walk on all
fours, but since you walk on your hind legs they could
probably, I could perceive, scratch them on a tree like a
cat. Yeah, extend.
Yeah, we also definitely. Have, Yeah, we we've established
that there's no other way that you'd be able to be walking
around. Well, paper towels, so.
Yeah, or B functional in any way, shape or form.
Right thumbs. Are thumbs are pretty important
for most? Of our Unless you had two mage
hands, that 'd be fun. That'd be so fun.
Just play as an actual squirrel you can.
Take that as a feet. Mage Hands.
No. What?
A hand, not a feet. So you.
Take your dumpy claw hands into the into it and scrape it off.
It doesn't come off cleanly, so you're just scraping it like
flakes of it away I would say, but it starts slowly dribbling
out of her next dump. It's not like a gushing
situation because there's no heart pumping or anything moving
it, it just slowly making it through the veins that are in no
straight line from point A to point B.
And so I just hold upside down and hope for the best.
And so there's like a solid dribble coming out at this
point. So we either have to, like, roll
her up or we have to set up like a little.
Spring out like a towel or squeegee.
That's it. Yeah, Mama's going to, like,
shake her back and forth and like, jiggle her up and down a
little bit out, a little bit faster.
Encourage but. Flow with gravity only because
you know now it's starting to pool in that direction.
You could tell all of the blood, but there is still definitely
not anything like pressurizing like the vein.
So you you're going to get. I'm going to look around at
everybody. Yeah, I'm going to look around
at everybody. But someone's had like a spell
for this. I was saying like water, like
control water, but that would only not a drama.
And I would only pull the water out.
It wouldn't pull the blood out, you know what I mean?
I. Don't think I have anything.
I apologize. I think I don't think we.
I don't think we want me casting spells, honestly.
The more I do that well. I think Flint's the only one
that has some sort of, like, blood control.
Yeah, he's a blood hunter. Oh yeah.
Here's Flint. We got to wake him up.
Do we know where Flint is? You guys have no idea.
Wait, he's not in the pocket, Rocket.
You assume he's in here somewhere.
I start looking for Flint. I go, I go.
I go to the bedroom and start looking for Flint.
I see him. No.
He's not in the bedroom and in any of the beds.
Nope. If you up by the hammocks.
Is he in any of the bathtubs? Nope.
Is he slumped behind the bar? Hyundai, Estala.
Flint. No.
Where else is there to look? There it is in the hammocks.
He's like the Dora the Explorer episode.
And he's a pirate, yeah. There's an upstairs.
OK, well, where? Where are the hammocks?
And then anyone knows? I'd go to the hammocks if
someone tells me where they're at.
We'll point them out. There's a left over here.
I don't know how to go upstairs. I mean.
Oh, is it this staircase here or is that bookcase?
I think it's a bookcase. It's one of these elevators.
Yeah, those are like mine. Carts.
Oh, these are elevators. Those are like mine carts
attached to a ladder that have like a gear onto it.
Oh, I see. OK, I'll go upstairs.
Is he in the hammocks? You go up ladder.
We need to not refer to ladders as stairs.
That's that just seems like a fault of English anyways, you
you make it up to the top and you are on the walkway.
And that's the only place that I could figure that he would,
because they came in before Ash, Zollis and Flint.
OK, so I guess I find him. He is asleep.
Dead asleep in a hammock. Very comfortable.
Start shaking him. Wake up.
What? What?
Wake up. What?
Anything I was just. Trying dead to the world?
Yeah, pretty much. He's just dead to the world.
Very First off there, I'd say. All right.
Well then I give him a good two slaps across the face just to
make sure an arm strike. The fuck yes.
Oh my God. All right.
I do it twice. You almost critically 20 1.
You almost critically slapped him.
Yeah, so 4 four points of damage.
Your Pam Pan is not weak, So we go down to.
There we go. He wakes up with a jolt.
What? Jeez.
Yo, we need your blood control. Come.
We have things to do. Just start.
I just walk away. I like.
And like on a quest, if you just walk away, he'd probably look up
at you and then just lay back down while you're walking away.
I turn around, like look over my shoulder and see that he doesn't
follow me. And let's see, what do I, what
do I have with me? Throw something at him.
That's what I'm gonna do. I just have to figure out.
What? What?
I'm throwing. Oh, I do have astral diamonds as
well. Yep, and infinite daggers I do.
But I don't want to stab them. I mean, maybe, but I kind of
just want to throw like. Emperor's pillow.
Like I just want to throw like a like a bread roll at them.
A lump of MSG. Fuck no.
I mean all. Right, I'm.
Going to. I'm going to take one of one of
my rations and throw it at them. OK it you got.
Will it be like a? What would that be?
You could use the dagger as an as an example there because it
has a thrown ability there, thrown, thrown.
Ability, Yeah. OK, just don't.
Don't need to rule damage, basically. 13 It lands in his
hammock, but you don't hear him say anything else.
And you I don't see his head pop back up or anything like that.
While his hammock is swinging back and forth, you hear the
whatever, whatever is around it, starting crinkling as he's
opening it. Oh Jesus.
I stop. I stop.
I stop back over.
I'm like. You.
Motherfucker. I like grab him by his beard.
Pull and just like pull him. Probably in this particular case
'cause you're like leaning over across the hammock's length to
get to him, I would guess because he probably wouldn't
have like. But anyways, just for pits and
giggles, can you roll me a well well?
Acrobatics. Acrobatics, Yeah, I'll see.
We'll see. Athletics, actually, because
it's you're trying to pull him towards.
You. Yeah, To see if I like just
like, fucking fumble and flip over the hammock.
Yeah. Oh, I totally flip over the
hammock. You pull on his beard and he
pulls back instinctually and you guys both tongue tumble over the
edge of the hammock, falling down towards the water below.
Oh, is it like a oh shit. I don't.
Think I realized it was like a a space.
You have a split second. Do you do anything one?
Two, I try to like land in the water and like 3 impact and
you're in the water. Yeah, I mean, I just try to,
like, Orient myself to land properly in the water.
Dexterity saving throw. Put the diving board up there.
Just trying to not belly flop, you know, Jesus.
Fuck. Holy shit, yeah, Flint rolls off
the edge of the hammock. And just like credit balls.
Yeah, swims back up to the surface.
All right, well, I just swim to shore and I come ashore.
I'm like, I got him swims. And with style, it's slashed up.
I'm awake now, I guess. That was one way to get someone
takes a bite of the ration. Oh yeah, Eat up buddy.
We need your blood magic. And he looks at mommy holding
Griselda in in the like puddle of blood that's inside the
barrel currently. Kind of just makes an
assumption. I don't even know what he's got
going on here. Doesn't really have a spell for
that. Yeah, I mean.
I don't know what their lives are like, but it could be like
if he if he could potentially play in two weeks, we could
pause here. Oh yeah.
And have him step in, You know what I mean?
Yeah, that's. Since it's get close and we lost
two people, perfectly acceptable to me.
They died. They're gone.
Oh no. Flint comes in, He's just like,
fuck all y'all just like walks away.
Is the Is the plan to try to use the Astral Diamonds then soon
or? I think after this, yeah, yeah,
but we like after this. But once we move the pocket
rocket to someplace safer? Oh, yeah, that's right.
Yep. Which I think basically we just
go walls and then we just go back to the entrance.
Yeah, go back to the inn. To the rooms.
The rooms. Yeah, we have rooms at the end
of the ghostly. We're past that level of hell,
are we? We can't go back there.
Yeah, we went through the door with the three witches help and
then we ended up in the that place where we are now.
Yeah. So can we just go back through
the door? This is a the door disappeared
within a thing. Yeah.
The door turned to stone. Well, I miss that well.
So we've got like the first room we teleported into, we could
barricade. Yeah, it's probably.
We don't have like a safe. We don't have like a safe room
currently. And I didn't realize I didn't.
I thought this was like. I thought this was like.
The area we came into through the door with the keys and that
we could go back like I thought this was a pocket in the level
of hell that the the inn. I think it's technically, but I
don't think we can get back is the thing.
This where the screen we see right now, this is an item we
have that we take with us. That's just like a magical
place. No, I I get that but the.
Where you mean the where we just were?
Yeah, the screen before where we have the the hallway, the the
fiery hallway and then the the goo monster hallway.
I thought that room or area was what we came into from the door
with the keys and the witches. Yes, but the door disappeared
when we walked through. I did not realize the door
disappeared. About it.
I was drunk inside the pocket rocket for that episode.
There. So we could totally barricade
that entry room a little bit if we need a safe room on this
level, but. Well, and there's that little,
if we go South, there's that little like dead end room that
we could barricade. That's where I appeared from,
yeah. Yep, that is the room that I
think whatever secret room that Warren was turning on.
But we. Have to investigate that.
Yes. All right, good session.
I'm glad that everyone likes the zombie juice.
Idea. Everyone's on board with it.
I think we can. We should be able to go away
with it once. After that.
Probably not. Probably not.
But yeah, all right, Have a good one, guys.
All right. Good night.
Bye. Good night.
