Hello fair listener welcome and thank you for following our
journey on meta gaming by room propelled gaming fair warnings.
Sometimes we are not safe for work and others not safe for
real life. Journey forth at your own risk.
Now let's dive right back into Tara through the.
Campaign Allalopolis. Fucking Craig.
Fucking Amen. The Hand of fate tosses, the
dice rolls, spins, turns. A campaign starts and ends,
leaving memories that becomes stories.
Stories flow out into the infinite sea, painting it with
legends. Legends wash up on the shores
throughout the infinite sea, dating to myth until myths are
forgotten. And again, the hand of fate
tosses, the dice rolls, spins, turns.
Hitherto we left our adventurers known as the Rum Rollers in
Socrates after docking in the shipyards and making their way
to the Queen Queen Theater. On their on their way there they
decided they just finished a feast with the crew of the Kobuk
Sun before coming to a decision to leave the crew.
The crew is just outside of the harbor as well as that they'd be
woken up nursing their headaches after the long night that they'd
spent celebrating after the successful deal with the
codebook son Dune brings them helpfully though calf and
breakfast to breathe the headaches away blast of the
calf. She added while they all came up
with a with the with the final understanding of a flag that the
Oberxen can fly under for them. While they're waiting in their
harbor of Socrates, they also with a cock, a doodle Doo, and a
trumpet from Grand Am's elephant horn elephant form.
They all they all set sail from there to the aforementioned
docks. Captain Mime confronted the the
dock worker upon after a dune moored herself who who was
asking for a docking fee. Captain Mime immediately
banishes him and sends another of the dock workers to Queen
ETA's palace to let her know that the Rum Rollers have
arrived in. Then, after some quick
discussions between Cat and Roro, they realize they can just
fly there. Grand Am runs off in squirrel
form in the direction of the city and they end up flying
their Cat Roro. KIRO and Mimi end up getting
there before the runner who captain be made sent ahead, who
ends up with a frothing horse and a broken leg at their feet
before they're before being healed.
And as the guards were being sent inside to in Queen
Theater's attention. Grand Am as the squirrel runs up
the wall and is batted immediately off by a lot of
guards that seem to be lining the walls almost an excessive
amount before turning into bear. Crab combo where you were bear
first or I'm trying to remember how that exactly went.
It was a little confused bear with crab claws.
OK, that's what I thought, that you and you came back up the
wall to scare them off. Which worked admirably until the
rest of the 100 or so guards within range turned to level
their bows at you. And you dropped off the other
side of the wall and turned back into a dwarf.
And their guard captain came out and yelled at the guard that
thought he'd seen a bear crab. They went back to their posts
while you wandered off into the city.
Yeah, that's more or less where we left off.
Let's see what happens this time.
Rest. So KIRO and Kat, you're you're
now standing before the queen after being walked in there.
But I guess it seems pertinent to start with Grand Am.
I know we're kind of in aid an imaginary space there.
If you have the map pulled up, you can at least imagine that
you've gone over the 1st wall and you're probably aiming for
the 2nd wall. But you probably find yourself
currently inside of the market district.
Market District, I would imagine.
They did not tell me they were going to fly there.
Nobody told me they were just going to fly there.
They were making a big hullabaloo about getting there.
I thought I'd just take a shortcut.
I'm going to wander up to the first merchant I see, or the
first person, really. It.
Seems like they aren't too busy and in quiet.
And you'd probably. To get to the palace.
It would probably be manning some sort of stall like tented
stall. It looks side to side and go.
Well your most likely bet is to hail one of the taxis around.
That's going to be your your quickest bet.
It's going to cost you though. It's a taxi.
Oh, it's these carriages that are are drawn around the city
horse drawn but also magically pulled and he pulls a card out.
I always get one of their extra cards.
You can call one of them with this.
He hands you a paper card with a paper person on it.
That's it, says taxi driver. He's going to lift it up to his
ear. Hello.
You're going to want to you're going to want to tap the card
with your imprint the card actually with your, you're going
to just Yep, take that first finger and just push on the
card. Yep, Yep, there you go.
That that's that's right. Zooming you do that.
Yes. And then as you're doing it out,
not at like out of a portal or anything like that, a but
quicker than almost your eye can see a carriage and a driver
appears in front of you and he goes up the afternoon to you.
Hey, look, carriage. I suppose I did.
Oh, wonderful. It's always unfortunate whenever
somebody does this by accident. That happen a lot.
Or than you would think, Sir. I tuck the card into my beard.
All right, so how's this? Work well where you be heading.
The Palace. I can get you there right quick.
Can't get you in, but I can get you to the gates.
That'll be a silver. Grand Dam's in
Grand Dam will not in agreement. He he sticks his hand out
expectantly. Think grand am has any money I.
Know. Is he mumbling that to himself
under his breath or? No, I'm saying that to my
myself. I gotta get.
For some reason I can't get roll 20, not roll 20, but D&D beyond
the load. I think he also didn't spend any
money outside of character creation so he should have a
little something. That's what I figured again.
It would be very in character for him to have no money.
I was going to hand him an acorn if he just let me in the
carrier. You should learn to disguise the
acorns or paint them silver. I wish I could use druid clap to
make it look like, but no. Yeah, I've I've got the starter
gold. I'll give him a silver.
I don't know if I can break it. Can you break a gold?
Oh yes, Sir. And he hands unite.
He he, he leans back and he, he seems relieved after you
actually pull out something and he reaches into his one of his
pockets and. It'll be a whole gold, but like
there will be like a couple like at land and like a dust Bunny.
He found a cool looking rock and an acorn.
You're just going to hand them the whole pile?
That's a tip. Thank you.
And he it's 9 silver in your palm and, and it really scoops
up the whole lot of it and then it's for you to not be looking
and just kind of shakes it off to the side.
Grand Am will then climb into the carriage and just plopped
out. And you feel a lot of bumping to
start off with and then it's pretty smooth ride from there
after, after those quick first bumps and kind of silent
actually. And then kind of kind of feels
almost like a compression on your on your person.
And then all of a sudden this the louder sounds come back and
the carriage clatters across some some stones again, then set
down. Kind of.
Suspension. You hear it.
You hear a knocking on the side of the carriage.
We're here. Grand AM will stumble out.
As you're doing business with you, Sir, I'll be on my way.
Do you have any more of those cards?
Oh, yes, certainly. Yeah.
And he has. Friends that might be interested
I if I could have a like a stack.
Many friends we talking here. The whole Rum Rollers crew.
Oh, that's lovely news that the rum rollers are back in town.
I'll be sure to gain some prestige with that.
And he hands you just like he he just is like I'm, I'm going to
guess like 10. Here you go.
I'm going to pay him with another acorn and take them.
Thank you, good Sir. Well, thank you.
Good luck and bad luck to throw away.
You would see him like a belt drop, drop it off the side of
the cart and then looks at you and tucks it in his pocket and
then you see him do the same kind of looking thing like you
were carrot starts to move and then it moves faster than your
eye after after it starts taking off it seems like somehow.
And now you stand at a drawbridge with two guards
standing on either side at the gate at the at the castle wall.
That there is where they're standing on the other side of
the drawbridge from you. I can see them or the guard.
Oh, it's the guards. I'm saying OK.
Yep. Grand and we'll proceed to March
across the bridge like he belongs there.
And one of the guards looks at the other guard and then tilts
his head. And then he kind of comes back
into himself. It seems like he'd zoned out for
a second. They both stand in your pathway
with their Albert's crossed. The Queen is in audience with
the Rum rollers. Yes, I'm aware, and he will
attempt to step aside and walk around to them.
And they just stand right back in your pathway.
You, you can't, you can't disturb the queen or the palace
grounds unless you have a written notice.
And as far as I see, I'm not seeing any dwarfs on the list
today. These are all been orcs that
you've been interacting with, by the way, just so you have some
frame of reference, but they all seem a little bit different than
the orcs that you've interacted with where that.
Could I have usually a short? Rest in the.
Carriage. Yeah.
Well done. I will then proceed to Is there
like a convenient Bush that. I could just Homer.
Stempston into. Not on the drawbridge, but if
you were to go back across the drawbridge in the like courtyard
that you were dropped off in, basically there there were a
couple small shrubberies. I'm going to Homer Simpson into
a Bush. OK.
Cast, cast without trace, hold concentration on it, turn into a
squirrel again, and then see if I can just walk past them.
OK, I. Will.
I think that gives you an advantage on stealth checks it.
Gives me a + 25 or a + 15. I have to look.
It gives me an absurdly large, or at least it used to give an
absurdly large. Oh, it still does.
It's I think it's I've I've had a deal with this shenanigan with
the Grand Am. Yeah, it it, it, Yeah.
It makes it hard for you to find them.
I understand. I think we've we had a another
druid for a time who would use it on the party even too which
is cool. OK.
It hasn't. Made yet?
Yeah, I'm just trying to make sure I do the roles correctly.
That's what I was wondering. Nice.
So we're going to do it used. To be.
It was always supposed to in. My bad.
Yeah, it'd be your your stealth roll versus their passive
perception. I got a 15.
What's your Oh wait, the passive.
They don't, yeah. Yeah, it'd be their passive.
Yeah, Dell, Dell. I don't really have a passive.
Wait, No, I do. I do 20.
Yeah, yeah, +2 passive is 12. OK, found it. 27 you say.
So yeah, you, the the guards have like turned their backs at
exactly the moment that you run across the bridge as a squirrel.
So they're not even looking at you as you run into the
courtyard on the other side of the drawbridge, which is roofed
courtyard in this case with a nice waterfall feature as you
first enter. Enter.
I'm assuming that I arrived well after the other rum rollers have
departed from the courtyard. There are there does not seem to
be anything, anyone you recognize.
There's some other orcs milling about, some of which are in said
courtyard, hanging out under under some of the fronds of
giant ferns. Nude, it seems like.
It's. Is there an important looking
door? From where you first entered,
there was an archway directly in front of you.
You can see the map, right? Where is it?
Located at again I. Yeah, I'm just making sure sure
that you can see. Yep.
I like the the no I can't it is blacked out.
I wonder why your vision's not on that would be important.
Kind of need that to see. Make it a little hard to play a
game. Here we go.
How about now? Let.
Me refresh that fixes. It oh also, you are.
You are. On a different.
I got it. Well, I did the stupid.
There we go. Wait a SEC.
There we go. You're you're still on your
character token was still on the outside of the door on the
drawbridge. So how about now?
So it was two things. Anything.
Nothing. What?
Moved all the way out and there's.
Am I on the right map? Got to be because I moved the
the entire. Cast.
OK, does everybody else see? Oh.
No, I'm blundering to bet on it. Oh great, know that you I see.
If it's to do with the map, then daylight mode's on.
Do you say you could see Jesse? Yes, I can.
But then again, every time I try to zoom it out, real 20 crashes
on me. So I mean, it might be just
something on my side. Some reason this token of Grand
Am wasn't controlled by you. Let me see if that's the same
thing with Kyoto. OK, now that should be.
I see. Things now.
Yay. There's me, there's me.
OK, that is a weird line of sight I've got all right.
Now that I've got super huge, OK, OK.
Good. We're just going to There's an
archway directly ahead. Yes, directly in front of you,
there's an archway into that courtyard that I was describing
with. You keep turning into a
squirrel. Have you heard of the game?
A squirrel with a gun. I have not it's.
On Steam. You see another archway, and as
you pass through that you see an even even bigger courtyard with
ancient trees in them and even more orcs sprawled out about
some of look, though more like they are happily intoxicated
with something. Drugs.
Hardcore drugs.
You said ancient trees. By ancient I only mean maybe a
couple 100 years old. Some of them are done.
I wish I could get like an actual viewpoint from on top of
the tree, but I don't think the map's gonna let me.
Yeah, not quite, but you can see kind of the shadow of it on the
map. There are there are other or
orcs and other raised individuals that don't seem to
be inebriated that just seem to be enjoying the general
atmosphere of this courtyard though too.
And as you're walking along the the longer leg of this northern
part of the courtyard, you see another archway to your right
and further to the north that you probably hear and cat and
Kyoto, if you were to wanting to fill in what's happening right
there, right the second you guys have been walked to and in front
of the the queen and cat, you specifically, I think you've
been here before, right? Yes I have.
I motorboated the Queen well the last time we were here when we
got really fucking shit faced. That was at the, that was at the
club. Yeah, the plush pig.
Yeah, the pink plush pig. I think it was also.
In the Jarvis room on the table. Yeah, that's the VR.
Hey, Rick. Give me a number between.
One. Yeah, buddy.
One and 1000 Nothing 83. I'm assuming she's on her throne
there or? Something on the back, a big.
Book. Yep, the she's just behind this
enormous book, far down the down down from the archway that
you're looking in from point where you'd be in shadow
currently with a lot of. Who is who here?
Well, you've got the you've got KIRO here.
Yep. And then Cat Cat would probably
have been one to be recognized by Queen, the queen.
And the first thing that's that's probably being said as
you're kind of walking over to that archway is, well, it looks
like you're down a few members there, Cat.
I kind of look around because at this point when like when they
blink out, we don't remember them, right?
We don't remember from pants. There's like this sensation
that, that, that you should remember them, yes, but they're
the kind of like, it's like that dream sensation that I've
described before, so. I look around.
I existed at one point. They existed at one point.
You. Know what?
No. I know also I cannot see my
token like I have. You're very tiny.
You're like, here we go right there.
Oh, I found it. Yeah, if I say.
I just drug my cursor across the whole screen.
So grand am I guess. How?
To damn as a squirrel is going to attempt to just kind of like
swoose in through this little like garden feature over to the
side and then just kind of like slowly sink down onto this couch
and then turn back into the door.
And the Queen, yeah, that's the queen right there.
As long as question is that book to scale?
Is it that much bigger than the Queen?
Yes. You also see a much larger
individual over here who you kind of remember.
I, I think when I was asking if you were here before, I was
wondering if you were actually in this chamber before, which is
her like where she generally meets guests and the like,
because this is usually where she spends a lot of her time.
I don't think I've actually been in this chamber because I
remember we talked to her. We talked to her at the Pink
Plush Pig. We also talked to her, I think
in the was it the courtyard or the garden chamber where it had
like the four big trees? I think that would have been the
courtyard, if you that's what you're thinking of at least, but
I don't remember that exactly. As a scene you guys have were
given a room at that her guards usually use while they're on
duty to clean yourselves up in before going out to the pink
plush pig. OK, maybe that's what I'm
thinking of. But yeah, we did talk to the
Queen, but I don't think it was in this room.
This is, yeah, Carol's just going to do formal introduction.
Yep, you. You wouldn't have even had to as
you guys would have been LED here just before Grand Am got to
the space you. Oh, hero's never been here.
So he he has he has a thing about etiquette and formality.
Yes, yes, when when you I'm just trying to describe and I was
trying to look at something else here because OK, no one would
have noticed you grand am as you gotten in there.
I don't think anyone's higher than a 2027.
It was to passive perception, unless I'm mistaken cats or that
I that. I remember real quick, but I
don't think it's above. No.
Wait, what is it? 27.
Oh OK, I'm at 21. Pretty, pretty close.
But yeah, so you you're you're probably sneaking around there
while, and this is what I was going to describe before you got
there too, is you guys were led in from that front grand door
just after the drawbridge by another guard who as just before
you rounded the corner to face the queen this time to they'd
walked up in front of the queen to introduce you guys like right
around here. Oh, come on, do it.
Do the thing. There we go and say the rum
rollers have arrived. Your queen, my queen, and walk
away again. Or at least make themselves less
seen by going to the wall. KIRO basically moves to that
like center of that circle carpet and formerly deep,
formerly deep boughs. Lieutenant Caro Kenpachi, First
Mate of the Rum Rollers to Admiral Mimi, here to present
greetings and information from our latest missions for the for
the Crown. I will also approach and pow.
Well, fucking finally. Jesus, what's it been like?
Feels like a year. But I think, I think that's just
all the shit that's been going down.
Gods. Well, well, you've been away and
I'm glad you've back because at least it's going to help with
one problem that I hope, Gods. But that problem hasn't gotten
any better, as you can imagine, which is the magic being stolen
from my population. But we bring good news on that
front, Your Majesty. I that is great news.
That is fucking fantabulous, let me tell you.
So at our gates where you guys came in, in the 1st place,
there's now an extremist, some sort of cult, they call
themselves the professional necromancy cult.
They've got a horde of the undead now, and I don't even
know where to start with that. That's that's basically where we
find ourselves. We're pretty at our wit's end.
I haven't even had a drink in three goddamn days.
I don't know how you're making it, Your Majesty.
I would need a drink with dealing with all this crap.
Your Majesty, it would be a great honor and privilege to lay
those souls back to rest and to remove this abhorrent cult from
your realm. It would be my honour as a
ferryman to rid your beautiful city of this blight.
I like him, he's very respectful, but I think I need
to take him to the pink plush pig and teach him some real
manners anyways. Well.
The. Cat just snorts.
Grand Am is going to chime. I don't think that an undead
whore would be that fun. Oh, where'd you come from?
That's pretty cool trick. You'll have to show me that one
too. Yeah.
But I there's. Over over 1000 plus of them at
least by the my my my cities cut counts a. 1000 Horse.
Yeah, that would be great, wouldn't it?
No, I hoard. Hoard, good Sir.
That. That's a lot of undead
creatures. Not, not the fun.
Oh my brain just made that connection.
It was so slow but I'm now. And.
It's Army. And and and Kira is like and it
and it would be my honor to put 1000 of this horde back to rest.
I would. I would very much like to see
that. And I also come humbly to one
present and bring these magical enhancements to the Kingdom from
my from my Admiral, as well as present a diplomatic request
from you, Your Majesty. Oh, magic.
Oh, you mean the breaths? Wonderful.
I'll get Ferris on the breaths. Did you, did you bring them with
you or they at at your ship? They are.
They are on the dock. You're at Majesty ready for
your. She just turns and looks at one
of her Queen Queen and they just one of her not servants really
they're they look like Queen's ladies.
And they just nod and walk out of the room while you guys are
still talking. We'll send, I'll send the
fairest a note and we'll get those right underway for
processing so that we can start making sure that this city is
not protected from the attacks that were happening.
I'm going to have to find something else to do about that
too. Still, they're still coming out
of the ocean. So I did hear tail that there
were some larger ships that are flying under your flag out there
too, yes. You're.
We come with friends. Yes, you're mad.
That's great. It seems like that they've
slowed the attacks at least if it's there's not been any today.
So that's that's good news too. Yes, and that is the that is,
and that is the diplomatic mission that I speak of, Your
Majesty. Please do tell.
Your Majesty, it is with humble request that these turtle that
we found on our journey have been searching for a home for
themselves since they were driven from their lands, and
they've been searching for a home to call their own.
And it is with great hum, humility and respect that I ask
that may they please find sanctuary and a land in your
Kingdom so that they can finally have a place to call home.
Josh, if you need me to. Role of persuasion.
Diplomacy. What?
What persuasion? All right, Please, God, don't.
All right, please go magic. I want to cry.
I want to cry so hard. Cat.
Do you got anything to help? Cat help.
So we're trying for persuasion.
Hold on, I think. Yeah.
Something for this? What is your persuasion at?
Like is it a + 6 + 4 plus? 4/4 Yep.
OK, my persuasion won't help so let me go through my spells.
I need to zoom in. I can't freaking read.
It's times like this I wish we had Hamilton.
Right, that persuasion's all the way up.
I know. Right.
I'm going to just lean over to him and just gently put like my
foot on his foot. And I'm going to use skill
empowerment very quietly. Just give a little like Begock
and like a little wing flap towards them.
OK, please, what is that? That gives you a proficiency in
that skill, right? And ability checks of your
chosen skill. So yeah, I'm going to just.
You add your proficiency bonus believe to the role.
That you just got to turn that OK, so that would change the the
result of that role so. That double S its proficiency
bonus. Oh, OK.
So you take the proficiency, double it and then add it.
Yeah. Or wait.
Or does it just double the proficiency that you currently
have? Choose the skill in which the
target is proficient and that isn't already benefiting from an
effect such as Expertise that double s its proficiency bonus.
OK, so it double s it. So that will make that rule
instead of A5 that turns it to 17.
OK, because that would double my initials.
With the 19, she'll respond just simply, well, I mean, we could
definitely talk about that. I'm not opposed to granting them
some land deeds or something like, but it it might not be in
the inner city. I don't, I don't think I could
swing something like that for them because.
Oh no, you're matching. They didn't want.
Farm and stuff like a place to sit.
They they did not want they, they do not want anything.
That's great news. That's great news.
They could become a new district and we could slowly build them
up. That actually would be great.
If we weren't about to die from an horde of Necromanic goons,
you might want to hold off on setting up that town.
Kira grins at her and gives her a devilish smile.
You had me at Vanquish Undead, your Majesty like heart, like
just the the the the the the shit idiot grin of happiness
across his face and displaying utmost like I am so ready to
just to make dead things dead for you.
If they're you, can you kill them?
Are they redead? They're laid to rest, Master
Killador. Redead.
Oh, you're saying that you you can hear the probably all hear
the Queen because she's not very she's not actually at all being
very quiet about it and leans over to her other ladies and
just goes I think we found his kink.
You could kind of just see Cat just like slowly nod like yes,
let him do this. Let him let.
Him cook I will make not gonna lie not it for you not not gonna
lie not gonna lie KIRO after being a source say he probably
will take a a a dip level into paladin for what's going to come
back next. I do want to get some.
Well oh, before we move on. Or because I was going to ask
questions about the necromancy cult cult, we need to inform her
about the date. Oh yes.
Oh, and Your Majesty? OK.
Your Majesty, we do have one final request, if we could be so
bold to ask. Oh please, I I to have all the
time in the world. On behalf of Chandar the Red
Dragon, it is my honor to relay his request that he would like
to have a date with you and grace you with his draconic
presence. Oh, sure.
If we can make it out of this one, I'm I will have to.
I'll have to see what he can do with that member that he showed
me. You can be a member of a dragon.
Hats off question, but she doesn't know about the painting
right? We didn't tell her about that.
The painting of her no. But remember she.
Yeah, she used a. Painting of Shondar it was it
was like a it was like a a dragon Dick pic basically of
that he'd sent her. Yeah, I do remember that because
I drew a crappy little thumbnail for that episode.
Yeah. Of a.
Dragon painting. He's been a fan of hers for a
while. If your Majesty would be so
kind, please direct me to the dead.
And she just. Again, he has the biggest smile
on his. Face She flips over a page in
the big book with the help of one of her ladies maids and goes
goes into it and makes a note. I'm just making a note here real
quick before I forget about land grants.
Did you say how many there were going to need at least?
Three at least three large ships full.
Oh yeah, did they give us a crew count for them?
No, we didn't get a crew count. We need a crew count.
I would say they would number at least.
I will put out today. Go ahead.
He's doing quick math in his head.
He's he's kind of doing his best ferryman math.
I would say that they're. Families.
I would say that they're about A-150.
I will that. Doesn't sound right.
Man, he's doing like ferryman man.
He's like, OK, maybe 50 people run each ship, about 150 people.
Those are huge. Math is not his best skill,
ladies and gentlemen. He is not a skilled magician.
While you guys are Pickering back and forth about it, she
just goes, I'm just going to put a a blank here and yeah, and
come back to that later. Maybe you can let me know if we
survive. On the other hand here.
And she gestures towards the giant that's sitting at the
couch that's just to your guys's left and goes the captain of all
of my God and all of the gods here.
And if you want to insert the rank that I don't know what
would be, that will be assisting you to the 8 of admonishment to
the North. Carol walks up to him.
Bao's captain, I am Lieutenant Kenpachi.
Let us proceed. I'll start off this is what
should be interesting. We've got three more eat bags
throw on the wall I guess. Undead horse.
I'm just going to hop up on Kira's shoulder and I'm like,
yes, yes, show us the way. We're here to help.
OK. Well, I'll give you the lowdown
on the way there, but basically the situation is they've held
off from actually entering the city or going to the gate right.
They have, however, closed off our trading completely to the
north. Our trading to the South.
Open to the sea is where you came in.
As you can see, it's more or less open, although it had been
Hanford by some of the individuals coming from the sea.
I still we still need to come up with a name for those fuckers
that were stealing our magic, but yeah, so.
People from the sea. Mage.
Thieves. Yeah, that sounds anti climatic.
They were man. A thief sounds interesting.
We're going to walk you along the wall and he takes you out
into the courtyard and walks up on the 1st wall.
And then there's a individual while you guys are walking to
there are bridges that connect specifically the walls as
opposed to going over top of the walls, which are what most of
the bridges that you're seeing do in the city.
As opposed to having gates through the walls.
They have these bridges that go over top of them connecting the,
the circles throughout the city, the the inner city circles
anyways. And he, he's going, I don't
know. That's, yeah, it seems
anticlimactic to see people. Good man.
A thief sounds interesting. Anyways, there's 1000 plus of
these creatures we've held. Not only are they not
approaching, but whenever they do approach, we do take one or
two out. It just seems like they've been
testing our walls so far. There has been and I've been
trying to keep it quiet even from the Queen, because I I had
known that you guys were coming back, but there has been a call
from there midst the the inside of the horde for the rum rollers
you. Guys are popular.
Oh, the the whole time we're walking there KIRO is at his the
the larger of his swords. He started to unwrap the
wrapping around the sword as they walk this way, and he's
just waiting and spying for the point with it.
Once he sees an undead, he's looking for it.
OK. So.
Going to take us at least an hour to get there bud.
Yeah, so the they're making a call for the rum rollers, and
I'm trying to think, because it's been a hot minute, we ran
into what is this called the Necromancy cult?
ENC professional necromancy cult.
That's right, the BNC, we ran into them way back when and I
want to say that we lied our way to get out of the tower and said
that we wanted to join or that we were a member and I don't
know why we gave them our official group name.
We should have just said something else.
Yeah, this is all hats off, I'm guessing is what you're talking.
About Yeah, but yeah, I'm just trying to remember out loud.
Yes. So yeah, we met the necromancy
cult, got into a fight and then talked our way out of that fight
and said we're all we're part of.
We're part of this cult. Why are we fighting you?
We're cool, guys. And they were like, yeah, that's
fine, now get out. And they like teleported us out
of the tower that was in the fissure of hell that was
cracking into the real world or into our dimension.
And then we just like left. We were like, it's fine that
Hell's invading this dimension. We can just go off and do other
things and then we've. Never go back.
It wasn't quite just. This is fine.
You did delay it, at least under Captain Mimi's direction.
I forget who all helped exactly, but.
Oh yeah, the bomb. Filled the well filled the
fissure with a massive amount of water, flooding out the army
that they were amassing of Knowles and killing all of them.
That seemed to work in their favor, however, because it made
a lot of compliant individuals that could easily be controlled
for it bad that was avoided. He can raise the the dead as
being, you know, one of the heads of the professional
necromancy cult, one of the CEOs, if you will.
And well, that's just above board speak because you guys
don't know quite know all of that.
And as you are getting close to the final bridge over the wall,
you see this horde that's decimated this greenery that we
used to be the entrance into the city and are just kind of
milling about and you get closer.
I think I've gotten the map over.
I don't know if you guys can see what I'm talking about here.
But. I'm zoomed all the way out and
more than half of it is like shattered out, like my
characters off to the side. Oh yeah, there I am.
Oops, the wrong button, but you can see now.
Oh yeah, I. Can see can I have 10 minutes?
Hero's not giving kind. Of curious, not giving you 2
minutes. I don't need a short rest.
You guys can take, I don't know, take something, take, take
something of the sorts. I mean it wouldn't be wouldn't
be adverse that most of the The Archers and the siege weapons
have been handling the horde keeping them at Bay, but to say
the least that those have just seemed to be delaying them.
And Kira looks sick. Cat cat, fly me down there.
You just want to go down there by yourself.
He he unleashes his sword and holds that in front of him, and
he as his as his considered bonus action for his for the
ability to kick off the blazing sword.
He howls roar Zamachi, which is the name of the sword, and his
sword ignites black flames and all.
And as I am riding on your shoulder and I see this, I just
go OK, and without any further questioning, I just cast fly on
just you. I have a question, can KIRO do
mounted combat? He would love to do mounted
combat. I've wanted to do this forever.
Wait, should I wait to cast fly? I'm just like because if you've
got like that feed that lets you take hits, for me, this could
get very interesting, but. I haven't had the chance to take
the feet. Either way, you can still ride
me, it's all right. Let's Oh yeah, Oh yeah, horse.
Time. So OK, so I'm going to hold off
on casting fly because you're going to turn into a War Horse.
You can cast fly on me. Yes, I can.
Oh, you cast the fly on both of them or I'm just?
OK so if if Piero gets on top of Grand Am.
Oh, he does OK. As a War Horse, I on Kiro's
shoulder will hop down and just kind of like grab a hold of the
horse's mane and cast fly upon the horse.
OK. And then because he is now
flying and we are both riding him, neither of us need to also
fly. OK.
Can you? How much do you weigh?
KIRO not. I would say Kira weighs roughly
about 200, about 200. He's not incredibly heavy.
He's just, he's just chiseled. He's chiseled.
OK. Do you think that you could hold
that grand Am? Well, in War Horse form I have
18 strength, so I don't know. You tell me, Mr. GM, man.
I mean, war horses are meant to carry a lot of weight.
Yeah, yeah, you're you're in war War Horse form.
That was unclear to me. I was actually, I'm kind of when
you were saying you were a War Horse.
My brain imagined Grand am just be pretending to be a War Horse
because I thought you were out of out of transformations.
I I may have missed something there but.
We did. Did we not just say, yeah, we
could take a short rest? Yes, yeah, you could.
So that's where you're getting that in.
OK Yeah, OK. I was just making sure where I'm
keeping track so that that's how that worked.
All right. That was like, yeah, I was
imagining the short stubby Grand Am dwarf holding.
That would also be very. But.
I mean, Can you imagine charging a line and that's what you see?
I feel like maybe not for the undead, but a regular soldier
would definitely be intimidated. Find my document where I keep
this subclass at. Damn, a War Horse with.
You made too many fucking not. My fault.
OK, maybe there's a little bit. There it is, there we go.
So yeah, I mean, in theory what you've described would sounds
like it's holding water to me currently.
Holding water, I'm about to set their hearts ablaze.
I'm going to grow tentacles and have armor.
Wait, a War Horse with tentacles and armor like?
Tightness armor. Oh yeah I've got 10.
I got like some Cthulhu ass tentacles growing out of me at
weird places. Eldridge Horror Warhorse.
That's correct.
If we're doing this, I am. We're going full tilt.
I mean, I'm here for it. Let's go.
I'm just a chicken. What I am, I am a chicken.
I am going to ride on the top of the war horse's head, Eldratore
or not. And I will hold fly for the
duration that we need it 'cause I can hold it for concentration
up to 10 minutes. And you will have a fly speed of
what is it, 60 feet? Yeah.
So 60 feet is how much you can move while flying and if you I
guess if you just want to fly back and forth across the army
decapitating some zombies I'd be all for it.
And then I can just use can trips until my concentration
runs out. Oh yeah, that's exactly what
Carol's going to want to do. Give me one minute, guys.
I'm going to utilize the restroom before we start combat
and stuff. OK, I was trying to get grand am
a token of a horse, but then I don't have that sort of horse.
I'm sorry. I know, I just googled Elder
Tora War Horse to see what would pop up.
Usually turn into bear thulu, but.
Then I'm trying to see if you guys had movement past this edge
of the wall, which it doesn't look like, so I'm just going to
have to grab you all and put you on the other side of it real
quick. OK so the map we're looking at
now, I thought we were overlooking a gate.
From what I can see it looks like we're standing on a pillar
and I can see a river and then an army of zombies and a broken
Rd. Yeah, the broken, broken Rd.
leads up to the gate. You guys are actually on a side
tower that The Archers have been hanging out on because they have
a better vantage of the the field basically.
And they've been shooting across from the tower down.
As you can see all of the arrows that are littering the field
currently, as well as some of the holes in the broken Rd. as
you called it, for the siege weapons that have been firing.
And another one lands directly over here just as you guys are
getting ready to jump off the wall.
It's a battle. It's fine.
We'll totally be fine. OK, so I do actually have a fair
amount of, I guess, battle spells because I have cantrips
of control Flames, Eldridge Blast, Fire Bolt, and then I
have Meichi Handemending, which is not that helpful.
And then I have a lot of similar spells like that.
And I think the only helping spell that I have is the skill
Empowerment one, which I only have.
Let's see, I can only cast that 1-2 more times
also. So we're looking down on this
field and we see these zombies. Do we see any, let's say,
leaders, captains? Warlords not not in the midst
that you're seeing. It seems to be a crazy mass of
milling undead more or less currently.
Do I still have my torque in my wild shape?
Yes. If they have a leader, it's not
we should go find it. Cut off the head of the snake.
Kill the CEO, breathe the people.
Biba la Revolucion. Down with the board, Wazi.
Well, I also have chain lightning as a six level spell.
That also works. And that one doesn't take any
concentration, it's just instantaneous.
Very nice, very nice. All we're waiting for the for
KIRO to come back. You guys want to give me some
wait, let me pull this up and make sure you're selected on
your tokens. I've moved them over here just
on the other side of the wall, like I said.
And once you're selected on them, go ahead and give me some
initiative roles, OK? Got me like no.
Whoa, that's like. Cool an 8 and a nine.
Wonderful way to start off. You guys will get to move first
before combat starts because they're currently just milling
about. And you're seeing more or less
to that the the number count has to be at least close to what
what was said of 1000 or more. Because as you're flying over
the field, there's you, you, you.
You can't count on all your fingers and toes, all the ones
that are even just going under you.
Under us, so there are some underneath of us well.
I'm it was assuming you were moving out into the field pretty
quickly, but I I could be like, it's theoretically up to you
Grand am being the one that's mounted because I think why was
cast on you. So you were the one that gets to
control the movement. Yeah, you are sent essentially
in control of the flight because I gave the power of flight to
you for 10 minutes. So how does moving while
grappling things work? Remind me, do I just let go of
them or do they come with me or is there I.
Think that depends on how strong you are.
Can you just drag them around? I am a War Horse.
Yeah. So I think there would be a
certain amount of you pulling them with you.
All right, cool. The feature that I am invoking
allows like basically if I just get near an enemy, the tentacles
just have like a mind of their own and reach out and try and
grab them and I just needed to know.
So they're like within like one square of me.
I basically just automatically try and grapple them because
it's not even a grapple, it's just a restrained condition and
stuff. Come.
Here I'm back. It's about to.
Roll Initiative. Roll initiative.
Make sure. Your token is selected.
All right, pretty mad. Do what I want you to do today.
Where am I? Where's my token?
I think I see my token. I just noticed a key flaw in
this plan. Please say it out loud.
War horses only have 19 HP. Well, that's the oh.
No, that's the that's the average for like 33 HP.
Let's see Initiative 18. OK.
All right, did so much better than us.
We rolled an eight in the 9. So let's see where that puts us.
You guys do get to move first, like I said with Brand am being
the controller of the flying situation.
So there is a round, we'll call it the surprise round as per the
rules there of KIRO, We'll just go in the order that you guys
are already in. Although there are some other
things in between you guys, although technically not.
Yeah, technically not right now, never mind.
So yeah, let's just we'll go through KIRO Cat grand Am twice.
So to go KIRO Cat Grand Am, KIRO Cat grand Am all.
Right, so Grand AM is in flight. All right.
And what is our game plan? Are we just going to go across
the like front line and start killing them one by one?
Grand Am suggested we find the head honcho and just nip that
guy right in the butt. Literally.
That would that would also make Kira very happy.
Because if we find the spellcaster, do the zombies
fall? If they're the ones that summon
them, I mean, that's what my general theory is.
Would Cat know this? Would Cat know that if we kill
the spellcaster if if he's dead, would the zombies fall?
It's a whole cult. It's probably more than just
one. I don't know shit.
KIRO can try to make a check for religion, you know, since they
are the undead. If that's the case, if if Josh,
Josh will let me. You're due.
I see a history on your part this You're looking out all
across the field and you're quite certain who you'd seen
before of a giant skeleton is not on the battlefield.
Oh, so I don't see the giant skeleton that we fought before,
but would I see maybe the lead spellcaster or a spellcaster
type of person? No, this all seems currently the
a mass of so the I, I kind of blanked on what you'd said Kyoto
or what you're looking for. So I apologize for not reacting
to what you said there. But the very first thing you're
seeing as to your cresting the Crest elations on the wall
besides the mass of zombies that were just milling about behind
the line of attack that they were keeping them at a Bay at
are a very organized line of yet more zombies just behind them.
And then just behind that line, because you're going up in the
air, presumably getting this even higher vantage point some
let's see here what it what that approximates to some.
Oh no, do this thing. There we go, some fudge.
Zoom even farther. Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.
Yeah, some 200 feet plus away to the north are another line of
zombie like individuals that seem a bit bigger than the
second line in stature. Was there?
Did that answer all your questions for what was going on
visually on the battlefield there?
Did I miss something there? Nope, we were.
Just trying to see if there was a head honcho that we could
decapitate. Nope, does not seem so.
So I guess should we just try to mow as many of these guys down
as possible and then while doing that keep an eye out for a
spellcaster type? Sounds like a plants tan.
I see so during all this time while riding grand am getting us
into the battlefield. Kira will switch initially to
the Hi Mira stance. OK, so you're switching stances
and you're going to pass the turn over to cat?
Yeah, for the, yeah, the first initial, yeah, because you know,
it's going to go me, me cat grand am and then me cat grand
am. Correct.
Yeah, so we're, have we entered the battlefield yet?
We're still waiting. You're just cresting the wall.
OK, getting ready.
To fly over there is what I figured.
Yeah, so as we look out over the battlefield, I'm guessing this
is when we looked for the head honcho, didn't see him.
So now I'm thinking about like, OK, got a hold concentration,
but I want to cause a little bit of damage.
Does this take concentration? No.
OK, the spell I wanted to use, I have to be a lot closer for it
to work. Going to hold a action so
granddad moves you closer. Yeah, maybe I should because I'm
looking at AOE attacks I have because I have Shatter and I
have Earth Tremor, Earth Trimmer.
You need to be within 10 feet because range is only 10 feet,
but Shatter ranges 60 feet and it does a 10 foot sphere and
that's at, uh, second level. Umm.
But yeah. So I will hold my action until
we are closer so that I can do more specific damage.
Good, my turn then. Yes.
Yep. All right, what's the war,
Carol? I I need a battle cry.
The horse blinks out of sync. Onward, Master Kelledor.
I let out a cockle doodle Doo. 3456789101112 and then I'm going
to dash. 123456789101112 Grand Am jumps off of the wall, does
puts one leg in each direction like a flying saucer and flies
in that direction as fast as he can.
All right, so using all of your movements and Yep, action to get
over today. It does have a charge.
If I moved at least 20 feet straight towards a creature and
then hits it with, I'll have to attack it.
Never mind. Yeah, I was going to going to
say that sounds like an attack. Yep.
So then that would go back-to-back to cat briefly, I
believe because you have a held action that would be triggered
at this moment you were. Planning to use.
Back. Right as soon as we got close
enough, I would cast earth Tremor and I'm going to catch
it. Hold on, I dropped my keyboard.
What's the radius on that once you do get it?
Earth Tremor. I mean how many fourth level
spells do I have? OK, let's do it. 1/4 level spell
of Earth Tremor. Display it please.
Oh, I just cast it. I didn't display it there.
We. Go 10 foot.
Yeah, it's a 10 foot radius. You cause a tremor in the ground
within range each creature other than you in that area must make.
But we're not on the ground so it doesn't affect Grand Am or
Cairo either. On a failed saving creature
takes 1D6 bludgeoning damage, more at higher levels and they
are knocked prone. They need to beat a Dexterity
17. Not very dexterous, just going
to tell you that right now. And since we're right here, I'm
going to. Cast.
They got a 13. I'm going to try to cast it like
right here in this like very dense amount of zombies is what
it looks like. OK.
So it is something that you can target an area and it's not
centered on you because it says within range and the range is 10
feet. So yeah, as long as you can,
you're still within that 10 feet that that work it looks like.
I'm. Trying to draw like a circle.
I can't find it for some reason. Oh, here we go.
And we're going to go like right, It looks like A10 footish
area. I know you're trying to go for
the denser area, just slightly probably.
Below. That trying to get all those
guys. Yeah, I know what you mean.
That's that's close enough. I can't trying to grab it
without grabbing one of the zombies and that seems
impossible. We'll call that like
1234567891011. Let's say 13 because why not?
Do not make the save. They're all knocked prone and
take 11 bludgeoning looks like. Yes, 11 bludgeoning and since
they're all prone, if they're not dead they now have
disadvantage on they. Or you can attack with
advantage. That's what I meant.
They aren't dead. So and that was just your
reaction for your for that. So you held the action.
And if that was that, we're going to go back up to KIRO,
which I don't think you had a held action.
Yeah, because yeah, bonus action would have been the stance and
then he would have held the action to attack once 1 range I.
Was going to say that would apply in this scenario because I
think you're still up in the air unless you landed and I missed
that. Did grand am land?
He would have gone if we were charging into battle.
He would have charged like near them.
The map does not convey height very well.
True, it is flat. Do you?
So yeah, he's going to get up at the.
Grill, OH. OK.
I thought you weren't weren't charging because I thought that
was the attack that you were talking about it.
Is an attack like, like, like the actual act of like moving in
the ballot, charging in like headlong, Like, hey, he's going
in? Ah, I misunderstood.
I apologize. Like there's also like there is
a war speech where if I move up to 20 feet and then do a hoof
attack, I get like a special benefit.
This isn't as easy as it was making it.
Holy hot dam should have just written some of this down.
I was trying. This is fascinating.
I was trying to test the systems that we have a little bit with
this combat and I put literally 1000 plus zombies into the turn
order. Oh Lord, sweet Jesus.
Yeah, so I was trying to go back up to Kirito real quick and just
like select you as a turn and it doesn't let me do that.
So I've been trying to quickly just keep smashing next on the
turn order until it went all the way through the fucking
creatures. I am up to 250.
I don't see this being a viable option in the future.
Doing for mass of like. 10 and 20.
I wish that were an option. Rule 20 just crashed on me.
Because with 1000 zombies. Possibly.
I mean, that's that's in D20 or or beyond or in D beyond.
Oh, whatever the fuck is that? Yep, Yep.
Yeah, I can't. I can't select the specific turn
in advance either, like I can't. I can only click next or undo
which is just infuriation. Interesting.
It's been fine for our smaller combats, but I've been trying to
fathom how we might do a bigger combat and I was like well let
me give this a try, maybe not like.
How Pathfinder does things like they do what's they have what's
called a horde. I I know about those I and I
know about them in here too. Yeah, there, there is Fords.
Yeah, there are Fords. It's just.
I don't like their stats because they're usually like somewhat
dumbed down from like having like a 1000 individual of that
thing, right. But I guess I could have had
like, I think a horde is somewhere in the realm of it.
It can vary. But that's the thing that, yeah,
I guess I'd have to play with is how many hordes that might need
to equal For 1000, I'm up to 500.
Don't worry, probably by the time you make it down the roster
I will have officially got back into Rule 20 and Rule 20 work
for me without crashing. So I guess that at least
answered sort of a question though too from before is that
you had a held action that would have been triggered upon Yeah,
Grand am entering the horde. So you're going to.
Hack hack hack slash. Release the the your action
there. 24 Oh, that'll hit. Nice.
All right. So I'm in that sense.
So that'll be that. So that's 12 and then I got to
hit this little thing and go and then add that.
All right, So it's going to be 12 slashing and 11 fire.
Yep. How do you want to kill it?
Oh, it's, it's it's it's heads coming clean off.
And if they're if and let's see, does the slasher apply to this?
No, it's only if I create does the slasher allow me to go to
the next guy over? So can't do that just yet.
Wait, no, wait. Weapon trait along was like
weapon trait. Weapon trait.
Oh went too far, went too far, went too far.
Weapon trait cleaving. Yes, I do have cleave.
Is there a creature? Let's see how it reduced them
all the way to 0, right? Oh yeah.
With with with my initial role, does that hit the AC of the
creature right next to it? What was it?
24. Yeah.
That creature will also take that same damage coming through.
OK. OK.
So you did a total of 23, right? Yes, and 11 of that was fire.
OK, I have to do that one at least.
So the first one will go with you cleaved straight from the
groin all the way up to the top of the head.
And as you you feel your sword sinking through the creature
behind it at the same ferocity, you get to the neck and you feel
it kind of catch. So you swing it off to the side
and cut off half of that creature's body missing, missing
the head on the second creature. So it's still flailing in
attempts of being alive at your feet.
Here is going to solve that problem.
Extra tech. 23 And he will take say the 17 and then and so 17
slashing for fire. And is there a creature just
beyond him within range if he still if he died?
Nice. Does my 23 touch that guy?
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Let's make kindling. And you and you did 21 damage,
it looked like total. Yeah, well, 20/20/22 because
with the Camaro stance, I add my no, no, don't add it.
I added to the attack roll, so it'd have been a 24 and all.
And so yeah, it'd be 21 damage across the board.
OK, this time both of them go down if you want to describe it.
Oh yeah. He he sees it scrambling on the
ground, his his adachi comes straight down skewering the head
and then as he whips his sword to click clear it of the head,
he comes around and slashes the the one right next to him from a
hip to shoulder. And in your backstroke cleave
the head into as they both fall to the ground.
And I'm assuming you're still holding your mount at this this
time too, just a striking those closest to you and that would
put you back in the turn order at the 1st.
Let's go going to hits up 24 again, No 2525 this time.
OK, that'll hit. And then 13 and 13 slashing 10
fire. That would 13 and 10, so 23.
Yep. Roll this be possible but just
for shits and giggles at at 22 it was still it destroyed how
you describe. This one's going to get the
straight cleave from the basically opposite hip to
opposite shoulder from the other guy.
And is there a man next to him? Does 24 touch him and he'll take
the same that transfers from that one?
What's your total up to now? We're up to four bodies now.
With these two with these two, Yep, OK, I'm just rolling to be
sure that it, but I quite sure that it's impossible to look for
them to get a 28. So yeah, they they go down as
you described. And extra tech please hit the
Crew 25. Yep.
And this guy will take 12 slashing and 12 slashing and 13
fire. Goes down impossible for him to
make that rule. Anybody next to him?
Yep. Does the 20 was 25 touch M2?
Oh yeah. And he's transferring that over
to him, too. OK, are you killing these these
suckers? These guys are getting us
straight up upward from groin to head and head to groin and it
goes. They go sliding into half and
that puts everybody else just out of reach for you.
I would say clearing your right side as what I was assuming you
were you were doing. Yeah, I must say the most
immediate, the most immediate ones directly as Grand Am gives
as the landing. All right, So then is that was
that your turn or? That is, that is Kira's turn.
All right, and we've got Cat. Cat is going to.
It might be a little smoky. Because things are on fire, so
fire is working good. So is this what we should stick
with? Is the best way to send them
back to peace? Then I'm going to cast chromatic
orb at third level and the element that I will choose is
fire, and I don't think there's
anything for them to roll against.
You hurl A4 inch diameter sphere.
You choose the element, you make a range spell attack.
If the attack hits, they take 3D eight of damage more on higher
level spells. So fire damage here comes.
Woo Fire Vault and. I'm going to cast it down into
another dense sphere of zombies. So all the ones that are
immediately. Next to us are dead correct.
These are the ones that would have been like right up on you
at that particular time. You, I was trying to get back
over to that screen. I think Rule 20 is having
trouble with the amount of zombies that tokens that I've
placed in, but you you would have to see them off the field
as we kill them. I'll do my best and still some.
For some reason it's deciding to reload on its own here.
But that circle that you'd had was pretty close to you.
Those are all prone. And are you aiming for that area
again or are you? Yeah, if those guys are still
alive and prone, then I'm definitely just going to need
for that area and wipe those guys out.
OK. What's the range on that one
too? The range for this one is where
did it go? 180 feet.
Sorry, the AOE like the circle or what have you, the radius, is
there anything or is it just a single individual target?
Let's see the range. It just says at a creature, so
I'm guessing it's a single target.
Gotcha. I was imagining another AOE.
But I. Read this all the way through
instead of just skimming. OK, well you probably target the
next closest one I would guess. Yeah, so I catch chromatic orb
as fire and 25 damages dealt to the one that it makes contact
with. OK, it is if you want to
describe it. Wait, 25?
Yeah, yeah, it's dead. It can't come back from that.
This little. 4 inch sphere you would just kind of see like
materialize like right in front of my beak before I could just
kind of like toss my head and it falls down into the prone
zombies and the one that it makes contact with.
I would say we would just touch and then the fire would spread
really quickly just turning this thing into scorch and ash,
leaving behind maybe bones. Unless they're moist zombies,
then maybe it. Wouldn't burn like that maybe.
It would stay lit for a while. I think it's look at sculpture
looking looking pretty dusty and catches on fire swiftly is
incinerated that action bonus action.
That was my action. I don't think I have any good
bonus actions, but let me check. My bonus action is too weapon
fighting, but I'm a chicken so I don't think that helps me
because I am not jumping down there and making contact with
any of these guys. Everything I'm doing, it's going
to be ranged. Girls get you on the on the
melee. I'm I'm just going to let out
another cock a doodle Doo and try to intimidate who's ever
closest to us with my whole plus one of intimidation.
So you're going to try and intimidate?
Yep, intimidate zombies. I'm just going to cockle doodle
Doo and then glare down as a menacing chicken.
Did not. It does not seem to affect the
zombie, does it? Just no and.
That'll be it for my journey. All right, And I believe it is
Grand Am or Grand War Horse. Damn.
The Grand Horse. Muted apologies, we've barely
put a dent in them. Correct.
Yes, there are currently I believe 5 down and 13 on the
ground crawling towards you. Cool.
Let's see here. And are they, let's see where is
it, where you're going to want to land?
I apologize as I can't cast spells in this form and I don't
think me stomping on them one at a time is going.
To be that effective. Wait, why can't you cast spells
in this form? Because I'm you can't cast
spells in Wild Chick. You can maintain spells, but you
can't cast them. Oh, OK.
I was like, I can cast spells and I'm a chicken.
I'll. Leave that up in DM but it.
Explicitly states in the rules I can't cast spells.
Yeah, and you've been polymorphed or whatever the heck
that is. So your your entire being is.
Changed. Into a chicken, yeah.
I'm going to shift back. Oh, you're going to shift back
so everybody's rust off of you. They'll.
I am still attached to the top of his head, so if he shifts
back I'm still there. That seems reasonable.
I don't think that might be the case and for you might have to
make a strength. Might need to make strength
saving throw. As well as yourself if you're
trying to actually hold, hold him.
If if if he's feeling if he's feeling grand am switch form.
Oh, he's gladly getting down to let throw out hand it.
Is wall of fire time? Fire time.
Yeah, let's see here what is the dimensions on this bit boy.
I believe it is a 60. Feet long.
Let's go, baby. Whoa.
As long as you leave me a little choke, As long as you leave me a
choke point for them to come in. Here it is 60 feet long, 20 feet
high and one foot thick. Are you sure you're still not in
horse form? I will stop in the horse form.
It's all right, that was a bad innuendo.
Anyways, I roll 20. Still giving me shit.
1015202530354045505560 feet. And you're aiming it towards
the. It says it's wall of fire, but
really it's more like beam of fire.
Yeah, if I'm America, you can construct how the wall looks.
You can construct the wall, right?
I can make it a circle if I wanted to.
Do I want to make this a circle? Make me a a a a Hell's gate.
Make me a Hell's Gate. I can't.
It has to be 1 continuous wall. Yeah.
Oh, it has to be all it. Can be a circle up to 60 feet in
diameter or not 6020 feet in diameter or a 60 foot wall.
Can it be AU shaped wall? And then it has like a 10 foot
radius around it in which it burns people.
It says it has to be. You create a wall surface up to
60 feet long, 20 feet high and one foot thick, or a ringed wall
up to 20 feet in diameter. It doesn't say I can change its
length or it's shape. You can change it's like shape I
would say, but not it's over all maximums if you know what I
mean. So you could go to those
maximums. So I can draw up to 60 feet in
whatever shape I want. That's that's yeah, I would say
so. All right, how do I erase this
mark then? With an eraser.
Grand Am's about to write in cursive.
Where is the eraser? I feel like I don't know what
I'm doing all right. You want a ring, KIRO?
You want kind of like the battle, the Battle of
Thermopylae, Give me a Hell's Gate.
Basically protect us on the sides and give me a nice little
opener for them to come in. I can't figure out how to.
Brace the original 1 I think I just selected, don't I?
Yeah, that's that seems right. Delete.
It. Yeah, OK.
I would be helping if it loaded me in here.
Yeah, it took me a few tries to get back in.
15202530354045505560 Hey, that's not it.
That's not the, that's not the wall.
Are we sure? But we don't want that to be the
wall. I don't know, what do you think?
I mean, it could work, we can make it work, right?
We can always make any. I want to aim it to hit as many
zombies as possible while also creating something kind of
functional. Very sleek, very subtle, very
demure. You know what?
Fuck I can't. I can't see it, so I might need
a. Description.
Like I said, I wrote in cursor. Hold hold on, maybe I can get a
screenshot? There we go.
Let me. Save it and share it.
It says Grand Am was here. I had another, I had another
message queued up queued up from earlier.
But yeah, I do. I I still can't see it.
I don't know why it won't load the freaking image for me.
I don't know if it's my Internet, which wouldn't make
sense because I can hear you guys.
Too many zombies. That's what I'm.
Guessing we have found the limit, Josh.
We have found the limit. If you can't, if you can't see
the the turnover or counter up there, it's actually at 15105.
Mine says 8 on unknown creature. Yeah, yeah.
That's the that's the that's the 8 is the turn torn turn like the
their turn order, their their initiative.
They all got an 8. I just rolled it all together.
You might just want to clear the queue at this point.
I don't know man. I don't know either.
Yeah, I've been a wall fire. It is.
See I want to find what what Greek letter does it kind of
look? Like the Omega, it's it's a very
fair. Enough Omega.
Part of it. It's like if Omega was written
by a 12 year old. You know, I think I just as many
as if I had just done the circle.
We'll just go and do the circle it.
Because life is a circle. Oh.
What? Did I do do?
Uh oh. I think I believe in Grand Am.
Oops. That can't be possible.
Wait, no, that could be possible.
You can select Grand am so. Yeah, I deleted Grand Am instead
of my wall. And I still can't get into the
freaking thing. I was trying to trying to see if
maybe the fact that I have the encounter open, which also gives
me trouble sometimes. I actually learned that anything
over the like 1000 marker of creatures, I couldn't even enter
into the turn order of DND Beyond.
So I was, yeah, I did learn that much of the of this and I and
I'm wondering because they have an interaction between the
encounter builder on DND Beyond and Taurus, which helps with
actually the initiative tractor on Taurus too, which is cool.
It doesn't seem to be helping when I get into it.
I'll try to do something, but so you're you're going to do more
of a circle rather than this snaking thing.
Yeah, I'm just going to do the standard like circle or I'll do
what he wanted. Like he won't do a circle around
us, but with like maybe like a little curly cue coming off so
that we can have like an opening for them to come through.
And the letter E. C is for crispy.
It's good. OK.
And you're gonna leave the opening to the north?
Yeah, we'll do it that way. OK, I think I'm finally able to
get in here. If you could move, I wish you
could move wall of fire like you can cloud kill, that'd be great.
I know what you're talking about.
I was going to say I think I can put a token, another token out
there for you, but that wouldn't really help what you were
talking about anyways. I don't need to.
If I can, I still have. Apparently I don't.
I need to go over here, it grand.
AM that damn grand am. I don't know if this is an old
token or a new token, but I'm trying to drop it.
Oh no, it came out with a new token.
OK, we're good. You see.
Does it? Does it, did it work?
I don't know. I got to turn the vision and
stuff on again. Osiento.
OK, how about now? Like at the eye doctor, better
or worse? I'm still awake.
I don't have vision yet, no. OK, what was the rain or the
damage? I guess fire 25 fire damage and
it was. I didn't roll damage yet.
OK, that no that was chromatic or sorry.
You would roll out to be exactly 25 though.
It would. To make it seem like we're just
making it all up anyways, they make a Dexterity saving throw.
Oh no. OK, you're just seeing like,
hero smile ear to ear right now. He's just so happy.
I cannot see my board and that I don't know if I'm lagging now or
what. Possibly it's taking its turn
around. I'm just going to have to write
some of this down because some of that was just like giving me
that much trouble. Yeah.
So we're you're down down to you took off this go back.
I got to open it again. You you downed 13 with the
they're they're prone. One of them was killed.
I think of those when you chromatic orbed, so I'm going to
say 12 are prone and Kira you took out five, which makes 6
with Ash and or cat Sorry and well Dang it.
How about, say, Ash's financial mommy in the other campaign?
Yep, cats got some gold, but not that much.
I'm here for fire. Literally fire.
It's like his number one element.
I'm here for the Blaze. 789, we'll call it like 10 more that
were struck by the the wall that you were creating.
Grand Am. So we're 16.
I only get 5. No 10.
OK. So what I was I was saying there
was I think Kyoto took struck down five I thought we'd said
and then cat down another one. So my.
First, my first squiggly cube would have gotten so many but it
wasn't practically sound. And that that your turn then
with that or did you have the bunch?
OK, Yeah, I. Think my bonus action was
turning back into a person. Right, right.
So then it would be still. Can't see my character as all
right. And everybody else, see grand am
I put them there. Yeah, I see.
I don't see vision or anything. I'll refresh again and see if
that. The red circle, right?
That's him. Yep, Yep, I got your vision on
this time at least. Oh wait, there's the other
stupid thing that for some reason I need to edit this over
there. That's what it probably is when
I created save. Save.
Damn it. OK, that should have worked.
This time we go back to here and here.
So I believe that leaves us off with the creatures turn.
Finally, they'll all start moving towards you.
The swarm, yeah, that's got it. I don't know why it does that.
Oh well, trying to think here now.
So I'm going to do this radius from here.
They've got a movement I believe of.
Let me go back to it now too though.
If it loads, I guess though, so we're going to say the ones that
are prone that are next to you spend their action, bonus action
kind of movement. I think it's action and movement
actually, but they use that going to be hit.
By a firewall again if they're within a within 5 feet of it.
Or is it? Yeah, Yep, 10 the the these ones
here are just oh, 10 feet of it. Is that the actual like damage
that was dealt there too or was that the ones that were in the
wall? Creatures that are within the
wall must make the 1st save, but then 10 feet is the second one.
Oh, and is the 1010 feet at the start or end of their turn blue?
Start. Makes it exerting through.
That was the end for some reason.
In this turn, you're correct. Right.
And I see here it's this distance.
So I would say that probably about half of the ones, we'll
say six of the ones that were prone are with in the 10 foot as
they get up. So do you want to we'll call do
they need to make a Dexterity saving throw or do you need to
just roll damage I. Think I just roll damage after
this point. There's no save involved with
it, so. OK.
Take the Clackety, I roll for a spell there to Cassidy 19.
OK, they don't go down. Oh, wait, no, they do, because
you you hit them with a spell previous to that.
That's right. And I'm not looking at the
trackers now just because of the it's it's not, it's too slow.
So yeah, out of those six, they go down.
So the 19 they need to roll ABC saving throw.
What's this of 19, which is or 19 plus?
That's five. I'll be right back.
Oh, they did not make it so. Six of them burn up into the
crisp of ash immediately as they stand up from their prone
position. The other 6 are just standing up
or using their action and everything like that.
Then these ones are all dead. Here, try and grab these ones.
Yeah, I'll just start deleting them because that sounds like a
good idea. We have proof of evidence that
they existed before with the picture that I took and posted.
So delete maybe lead didn't like that either trying.
Oh I deleted the characters too, put those back.
But it's got a nice clear spot around you to say the least.
And those that are moving closer need to are probably taking that
19 again, I would guess just to keep things simple because we're
talking, we're talking a plethora here.
Here we go as we're more or less here.
And here's the 30 foot. So we'll say another yeah, 6/1,
8910111213141415, move in on your position up against the
wall, OK, Yeah. And they all of those ones
didn't burn up on the wall. They they're going through the
wall and attacking, just slamming their bodies into all
what did I say, 1615? They there's no save involved
with the wall anymore. They made, yeah, they made it
through the wall, though. They took the 19 and they were
still standing there. Their flesh is burned off their
bones basically at this point. Yep.
Yeah, The first, first, first six, like I was saying, burned
up against the wall as they were standing up and trying to push
their way through. And the second set of 15 or so
that we're converging on your position as well.
Is everybody else's map Gray? It's my fault.
I deleted the tokens. Yeah, I'm getting there.
I vanished again. This does does the shadow reel,
does the 12 hit? No, I didn't figure.
How about you, Grand Am? Yeah, that'll hit Grand Am.
All right, we'll see the five off to the side that are closest
to you are aiming in your vicinity.
Well, we'll, we'll narrow it down to the Yeah yeah 5 just
because you guys are bigger and it's harder to get at cat
probably on the ground for one of these zombies and one of them
will be swinging at cat as well, don't worry.
So I would say yeah, half of them are just pushing up against
you KIRO and not getting any purchase on your armor or the
like, just not getting getting through.
They're batting and and growling and they.
Shouldn't be doing that. That's inappropriate.
And then these 55 here up on Grand Am you said a twelve hits
they did 5 each of for each 5 of bludgeoning damage.
Wait a 12 hits grand am Oh dear Jesus, I'm.
I have no armor. I didn't buy armor apparently
also. I'm A5 5 * 5 right?
No 5 * 5 is and my deck. Sucks.
Wait do I have major? No I don't.
I should have armor though because I'm a druid.
Like I should let me check my equipment in five.
Did I do a funky wacky? No, I'll just take my day.
I'll take my lump this time and I'll look and see 20. 25. 25 S
25 can't do math right now that's.
Me neither apparently. That's why I went to Google.
Hi, it's not bad. Pat, you back?
Let me double check my character sheet though cuz that feels
wrong. You might know how to make a
circle. Yeah, I have no armor equipped
on DNDB. You mean on rule 20 or what?
On DND yeah, on Rule 20. You go over to the left
paintbrush, OK, and then you click on the like side of the
paintbrush where there's like that little downturned arrow so
that it comes up with multiple options.
That's what I was messing up, messing up with earlier.
And then Ellipse. OK.
That was I was forgetting his bull he he.
The whole second line doesn't seem to be moving at all
currently as you guys are standing here in your position.
Just to fill in some of the gap. The horde that has been milling
about is moving into your position though with including
the skeletal remains of the burnt husks that made it through
your wall. I will draw or are you drawing
that right now Keto. I'm trying to draw a 30 foot
radius circle in front of me but I'm failing hardcore.
OK, anybody got any pointers on how to do that 'cause I'm
sucking I'm? Back.
Oh, I get it. Hey, does a 12 hit you?
Yes. Me to.
Beats it. Right.
OK, so yeah, I have five points of bludgeoning.
My AC should have been 15 because I didn't know how to D&D
beyond. I'm Naked.
So that. Definitely my ignorance and I
will correct this in the future. OK.
Yeah. So just a recap description
there. The whole frontline that you
guys were seeing from the wall converged on your position.
They don't move very fast though, So only about 15 to 16
made it through Grand Am's wall of fire, and of those of those
ones that that made it through their burnt out husks of a
corpse that are left to remain standing slam themselves up
against you guys. And I am still standing on Grand
Am's head. And Grand Grand Am was the only
one that was going to get hit at the time, although that has been
amended for the future. And you being the small creature
that you are as well, only we're being targeted by one of which
is the the, the five legending that you took.
OK, so just five. Kind of hard for a whole bunch
of larger creatures to converge on your position.
Yeah, I'm going to continue to stay on the on the granddad's
head. It seems like the most secure
location at this moment. It sounds.
Like a fly away. That would put us back up to
Kyoto. All right, so how many do I got
within 1010 feet of me right now?
Looks like 5 I think. We'd said, I think we'd said,
though, yeah, that's the. My swing, right, my swing
reaches out 10 feet. So we we going to start, we
going to start weed whacking. OK.
All right, so first thing I'm like, I'm going to make me a
little bit of room in front of me.
Just a little bit. So oh, so close.
Quit, quit. Just roll the 20.
Come on. All right, 21, that'll hit.
That'll hit. All right, So that's 1313
flashing and six fire damage. Oh yeah, that.
You want to tell me how you kill all?
Kill. Kill that one.
Is there somebody next to him 'cause he's going to see if see
if he goes with him, those two are going to get Yep, it had
been third. It had been It's 13 slashing and
six fire. 13 plus six this 19 + 5 is 24.
Yeah, they can't make that so that they're both dead.
Yep. Yep, he he takes a a nice size
arc. He goes from the shoulder of the
one on the right and he cuts it clean across to the abdomen on
the one on the on the other side.
OK. And then in he's going to forgo
that and he's going to activate one of his for his extra attack.
He is going to activate. Let me just make sure I say it
right and I will link it in. This is why I needed the circle.
It's a bigger version of his. One thing.
I can only use it once a day, so this is going to be fun all
right. I summon the raw elements of the
forces and cause an eruption. Each creature within a 30 foot
radius sphere centered must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking
3D10 elemental damage matching my draconic ancestry.
On a fail, have as much. On a successful, the affected
area becomes difficult to train until the start of my and still
the start of my next turn as residual elemental energies
linger. Once I do this, I cannot do it
until I finish a long rest. Where is it centered?
Right there, I've actually I'm Hawking a huge primal Logie.
OK. I thought I thought a centered
on your location when you're reading it because you said
centered. Usually that is followed by on
your location all. Right.
Make sure I read that correctly. Make sure I didn't mess it up.
Hold on. Go where?
Where's the people? Locators?
I'm sure read that right. Come on, row 20, do the thing.
I'll be mad if it's as if it's centered on me because I just
drew a perfect circle. I'm so upset.
It is a good one. It's a very nice circle.
Damn it, it is OK, it's centered on me.
OK OK, so how do I move my circle?
You should be able to select it and instead of pressing delete
you can then move it. OK, let's say select my circle
this. By hovering over one of the
edges and dragging it. Click select No, it won't let me
move it. Damn it to see if I can.
No I can't. I can't select your circles.
I can at least select mine. Let me select my circle.
It's so perfect, damn it. OK, well.
We'll, we'll just go for oh, ignore that.
I was not, I was me accidentally bumping this as I was trying to
get the tape measure out. So this.
Is 30 all the way around me? And we're going to say
1234567891011121314151617 18/19/20 Yes, he's just.
Inside it, yeah. And then the other guys on the
other side. Yeah, I was counting those when
I was over there, over here. So we're we're at like 20 right
now that are inside of that. Alright, all of them gonna make
me a Dexterity saving throw. Their favorite, the only thing
that they're better at is intelligence.
I'm sure. That's a six.
No, I didn't figure. It's time to get hot in here,
please. Hot in here.
So does that make it difficult to rain for you guys too?
I guess unless you're flying some more.
It makes it difficult to rain. So yeah, I didn't really state
if it does it for me as well, unfortunately.
I think you said creatures. Yeah, All right, come on, baby.
Be pretty. Be pretty.
Pretty 21 and my type is underworld and so my breath
weapon is. Oh.
Yeah, hmm. Let's see here.
I gave them the resistances, but I never gave them their their
colors. Actual damage.
I will say fire. I'm going to say fire because.
And I thought you wait. No, wait.
No, no. My breath is necrotic.
That's what I thought you'd made
it. That's what you have to say.
Yeah. Yeah, I did assign it.
Yeah. The resistance is there.
Is there? They're breath weapons, so yeah.
Mine is necrotic. OK, what was the damage again?
Sorry. It would have.
Been 21/20/21 yes. So I would say all the ones in
your guys's immediate range would be wait, they should roll,
they should roll. Let me roll are downed by it at
first, no doubt and they stay down.
They're finished in the sense too, that you if you want to
tell me how you cast it, they. So.
You said Nick Roddick are going to start to break apart down
into their into into dust almost after walking through that
firewall to get to you, the ones closest to you anyways.
Yeah, So what happened is y'all saw Kiro's body start, you know,
emitting, you know, very dark black, what looks like black
flame. And he lets out a bellowing roar
and just the flame the the basically necrotic flame just
shoots out. Rest in peace.
Between me and him, I'm not so sure where the good guys.
Killing zombies is good. It is good.
And he keeps saying rest in peace.
He wants them to, you know, pass on.
Like, exactly. Still isn't that?
This is the natural. This is the natural order.
I grow tentacles and stuff and he spews poison.
And I'm a misogynist, chicken. I was a misogynist.
Is that huh? He cat was a masseuse.
Yep, Yep, Yep, Yep, absolutely. I'll ask you for a chicken
massage after. Dinner.
That is perfectly fine, I will accommodate you.
And this? You're being a pain in my ass,
baby. All right, then it would be if
you were, if that was your turn. Yeah, let's see.
And then bonus action shifting from the Chimera to subclass
version stance Kajasuchi, which allows me as soon as I get down
to the section, there I am. Let's see.
I may add my choice of either strength or decks to my damage
rolls and I gain bonus to my AC equal to my proficiency.
I add my bonus 2 initiative which takes place after the
after the effect and while in this stance I can use any any
current ability available from the Chimera, Dragon or Lotus.
At the end of the stance's duration, I take a level of
exhaustion. So when I end this stance, I
will take one level of exhaustion.
So my AC goes from being Oh yeah, not that that is not my
knock it where is my let me go back up here.
Do do do do do. Hey, I pull up my I wish real 20
had an easier way. Like you know, more better
interface on the side for pulling up your character sheet.
Let's see here. My AC is 21.
My AC will be 21. OK
before I believe it's Grand Am's turn technically after yours
Kudo, but there's been a creature that's been that I
rolled up earlier that's actually in between the turns
there that just hasn't interacted with combat to this
point. But makes the move you see above
you a glint probably with your passive perceptions in the air,
especially after the dust settles from your your loogie
that you would hawked. So you guys are wiping your
eyes, looking around, taking stock, and you look straight up
because you start to hear not only see the glint, but hear a
whistling sound before it starts to resolve into a form which
appears to be a human male flying straight down towards you
from the sky as if they're just dropping out of the sky.
Yeah. Does he drop in front?
Please say he drops in front of me.
I was going to say, I think we got their attention.
Attack of opportunity if he drops in front of me, please
please, please. He he pull pulls up right above
you and. How far above you?
Basically above you guys all at like probably like 20 feet to be
safe. Damn and.
He's still within range of me. Exactly.
He's outside of my he's outside of my arm range, but damn it.
And he seems to have been way up in the air and then just dropped
the last. You're guessing because he had
to have been out of sight of how high he was, but then just
caught himself. Anyhow, he kind of greets you.
First and foremost. He looks very suave and very
dressed even, but just good. Also extremely pale and kind of
squinting in the dim light that the the day has given as it
seems like to as you guys have gotten closer to the gate, there
seems to be something affecting the weather here at this
particular area of the lights not as bright and he's staring
down at you guys and he just goes.
Does it affect my? Does it affect my light that's
coming off my sword? No, no, it does not seem to
affect that. It's not not that sort of
effect. But he just goes, Hark, art thou
the rum rollers. Do I recognize him?
Do not. I am your executioner.
That's all you need to know. I will call out and try to make
it seem like it's not coming for me, but since I'm standing, I'm
standing on his, on his head, on Grand Am's head, I'm going to
just call out who is asking. That would be the PNC has been
stated and questioned for at the gate.
Doesn't seem like it'll welcome our kind.
And to your point, it wouldn't be the first time I died.
I think I would, but I don't like it.
Maybe. This time I'll make sure you
stay in rest. Why are you searching out the
rum rollers? It seems there's been a bargain
struck between you, the rum rollers, and my boss.
Oh. My God, did I write that down?
I made no such bargain. This was so long ago.
It was well. But if you come down here, I'll
promise to release you from your unmortal chordals.
I promise. He just laughs heartily again
and goes, Well, I think that you might be part of the rum rollers
then. It seems as you're responding to
such a name. I think I might have to report
back to my boss. Otherwise my when he opens his
mouth and you can see fangs elongate and he says payment as
he's licking one of the fangs might be hindered.
I rather like to eat regularly. I have something you can eat
right down here unless you're too scared.
Oh, I like your bravado good, you chap, but once you live
another century or two, then we can talk.
So you must be Cat says. Down to you.
I stand up a little straighter. I think I have the notes from
that day and the only. Thing I have.
Written down goddamn time. Oh.
No, the only thing I have written down is I ripped the
bitch's hair out. Wow, Granddad says that's a.
Chicken, not a cat. That's when that was the one
time Cat did a melee attack and I launched myself at someone's
head and just started scratching at their face and pulling their
hair out. Wait, how far away did you say
he was from from us right now? I don't think that was 20 feet
or so the same thing. Could I just cast daylight?
Wait, OK, I found another page of notes.
Professional necromancy, Colt and I said.
They are trying to prevent death and that's what I have written
down. We met Ashima, a samurai
skeleton. Yes, that is that is their boss
that he's talking about. So he's so you probably your
your your role in a real life history check and succeeding
sounds like a natural 20 there. Professional Necromancy cult of
Wishing OK, so this meeting took over a couple of days.
We became the professional necromancy cult of wishing.
I guess that's our branch and. Then I had a bunch of.
Doodles of a chicken. This is why you take notes guys.
Yeah, it's working out for you. I'd say eggs.
Giro has all the notes he needs under Things Must Put to Rest.
Can't say anything past the the the strut that you did after the
greeting I guess. OK so I I I need to take better
notes because I don't have that much written down.
I say yes, hello, I am Kat and we are the PNC of wishing and
tell us the deal that you speak of so that I know you speak true
wish. I.
Well. Kira.
Kira grunts hard at you when you say that.
Wishing is and I wish I had a better name for my organization.
He seems to ignore that particular comment in general,
but it goes on to respond to you, Kat.
Well, it seems you're being called upon to execute.
Well, that's the wrong wordage there.
I apologize. You're going, you're getting
called upon to become rather more integrated.
Here we go with the rest of the factions in the PNC.
Integrated with the rest of the fashions of the PNC?
How so? Should we become integrated?
Well, you have responsibilities now that you're a part of the
group. I wrote a history track.
Did they tell us? Did they tell us what these
responsibilities were or would become?
But it was the result you get. 22.
So they didn't say anything explicitly, but you recall Shia
promising to continue to sow chaos basically by introducing
these wishes that would go a wire basically, that was the
whole and intent of this, this part of the faction of the PNC
and that you would go around creating a you're, you're,
you're recalling specifically the example Shia had used was a
cake that Mimi had been promised by a God to grant.
A wish. Yeah, yeah, Mimi wished for a
hat of protection. Yep, and he wasn't very
impressed by how wrong the wish should have been going to get
the for her for me made to have gotten a hat out of it.
So dismissed you from the tower and said that you could do
better but he'll call upon you basically and that was it and
sent you on your way with like a contract that was like some 1000
pages long or something ridiculous.
That none of us read. We were like, ah, screw them.
OK, because I think we just we just like said what we said just
to get out of the situation with no real intention of following
through and and now. The the the docket has come due.
Josh, I would like to athletically jump up and take a
swipe at him. Athletics 21 and then jump up,
take a swipe at him. You could totally do that on
your turn. The the free, the free the
you're currently in a weird in between because I have talking
as a free action, so it is going to be Grand Am's turn and then
Cat's turn and then the horde of zombies turns and then your
turn. So what's more important, Wall
of fire, or do we want to like introduce this fellow to
sunlight? I want you.
I want I want you to introduce to Here Comes the Sun Doo Doo
Doo Doo. Let me double check that the
spell daylight does in fact make it daytime.
Here comes. The OK, so he wants us to become
more integrated with the PNC, the professional necromancy
called and and we did not want to do that.
We originally did not want to do that.
So can we play it off and be like, Oh yeah, we're totally
going to do that and talk them into leaving?
Or do we attempt to decimate this guy in his little army
decimation? I'm going to ask this question.
Can I ask the questions over the talk through thought?
I, I, I want to say that we could do that, but maybe we
can't. But these are questions that I
want to ask my companions and not out loud.
You start to realize that with your intent of projecting your
thoughts into your companion's head, that Torque does allow you
to do so. OK, So yeah, I, I project that
question. I was like, so do we want to try
to talk ourselves out of this situation and see if we can
convince him to leave saying, yeah, we're totally we're
totally still working on that. Haven't you noticed our work?
Or do we just want to say fuck this guy and and and kill him
and and his minions? I have another idea.
What is the other idea? We could go with him and then
kill them, all of them. Do you think if we go with them
that they would, that if we go with them that they would also
the army would leave, they would stop assaulting sorcrities?
No. Yeah, that's the thing.
I'm like, will they stop assaulting Sorker Teeth?
Because I feel like they wouldn't.
So maybe I ask him be like, OK, so we have to become more
integrated with you. Let's us and you and your men
leave this place and take us to Where did his name go?
Ashuma. Ashima and take us to Ashima so
that we can discuss the details. Are you saying that or were you?
Asking I say that part out loud to him to see if he will, if we
can just leave with him and get away from the city.
And he goes, he goes. I can certainly take you there.
I do have orders though as well, to conquer any cities that stand
in our way, and as Socrates has stood in our way, we technically
have to conquer it. But have you guys already done
so? He looks lazily down at you.
Have we already conquered Socrates?
Yes. This city works for us.
They are running businesses for us because that's what they do
for us now, right? He says, and he puts his hands
out to either side. But then I think we're easily
able to work past that minor detail and be on our way.
You will have to give me a minute to reorganize the horde,
but then I can be right with you.
I. Think I say through the torque
because I'm like OK guys, just just hold your ground for right
now. Oh thank God they're.
Oh thank God they're stupid. Hold your ground for right now
and let him pull back the zombies.
Think that would be an excellent stopping point for the evening
as well. Oh.
My goodness. I concur.
Let's let us let us check the willpower of of KIRO.
Granddad, you're a. Menacing.
As he's like, As KIRO is like. Fuck no.
No, as Kara was rolling this mulling this over, Grand Am is
going to say if you wait there will be more of them then we.
Can. Yeah, what if we are?
Ted? If you wait, we might be able to
attack the head. In this Ted talk, I'll explain
how killing the head Necker manter kills more undead than
stank. We can up the count of undead
that we what did you say put to rest.
Yeah. You're all I'm saying this very
like loudly in my thoughts to them.
And I'm holding my like upright position and just being cool and
calm and collected. But internally I'm like, no, you
wait, you wait. We're gonna kill the big guy.
OK, you're self curued, do you see?
Just to give you guys an account of the affairs, 30 or so zombies
dead around you with just the smallest dent of leaving that
970 or so left in that line, with another line waiting just
behind them and another line behind that.
We could have made it heroes. I thought dead bodies would have
happened. We could have.
We could have fucking done it. But yeah, we're going to hold
off. We're going to cut the head off
the snake. You're going to get you're going
to give me the snake head, OK? He's happy.
The the the the sword. The sword in his hand just burns
a little brighter. Oh, good session y'all.
This is definitely not the end of how this is going to go, so I
look forward to seeing how this is resolved.
Yeah, this is also in my response to trying to help you
guys improve on that experience deficit compared to the evil
campaign. Yeah, 'cause Cat is level 12 and
Ash is level 17, which by the way, I haven't levelled her up
because we have not taken a, a a long rest She's so she's still
technically. At six, I said I got you.
Now, yeah, 'cause you're. Go ahead.
How about I say KIRO 7 and Ezra's 12?
Undead count. I like that.
I do have to admit I was not really taking notes this time
because I was trying to Photoshop a War Horse that had
tentacles coming out of it. And then when you started
mentioning this guy talking to us, I was like, fuck.
And I had to like, take out my notebook.
Dead Ted Talk. Undead Talk.
Yeah, So yeah.
And some of my notes are really funny.
Yeah. Like, literally it says Mom.
A wish for a hat of perfection became the professional
necromancy called Of Wishing. And then a bunch of drawings of
chickens. And then we had the evil
campaign where I said we found Mimi Griselda is Patrose.
And then the next session it says why do I keep failing at
laying eggs? There is something that I want
to ask you though, because underneath of that I have spell
asking the DMA very specific question, treating him like an
evil genie. Do I have a spell that I can use
on you, Sir Josh, and ask you very specific questions that I
hadn't had I. Don't.
It's called divination. Yeah, but I do know there is a
spell that's like that. Yeah, Divination.
But I mean like is. This breaking.
The 4th. Is this breaking the 4th wall?
Am I going to get a Nosebleed when I cast this spell?
Augury, yeah, probably. But that's still that that not
immediately. It depends upon how how long you
hold it, I guess. I don't know.
And how much you're digging for because yeah, like Grand Am
said, there is Augury is the one that's like, I've used that
actually before myself too. What was this guy's name who we
were just talking to? Didn't he?
Didn't give it. Fuck.
Nor did we ask. We did, but he just said his
like. He wants to get for fed
regularly. Yeah, I love me some vampires,
but I'm going to. I wanted to cast daylight on a
rock and put it in his pocket, but I can't.
What would that do? A lot of fucking damage over
time that's for sure. Until he took it out and or I
was. Very sad.
Like would it just be like uranium in his pocket?
I was very sad to see that daylight has the claws that the
object cannot be being worn. I was just kind of cast it on
like his shorts. Clothes.
Yeah, yeah, that would have been good.
Yeah. No, I like I like the thought
processes. Sure.
He's he's very much an intermediary though.
So that you took the path that you did because it's, but I am
surprised you took the path you did.
I was expecting violence. I was ready to do a lot of
violence, but he showed his head and I was like, he is kind of
out of reach and I'm still ready to do violence.
But if we could get it away from the city, I would prefer to do a
massive amount of violence away from civilians.
Right, that that makes sense. I mean makes a whole lot of
sense. I but you lose Rick there it
looks like. Yeah, I was going to say, did we
just lose someone? I'm slave.
Yeah, it must have been Rick. Yeah, all right, but good
session. It was a good session.
I will be seeing you this weekend, Jesse, but we'll be
missing you guys. I'm not.
Gonna make it. Yeah, that sucks, but it
happens. We'll we'll, we'll all take a
one of Cassidy's jello shots in your names.
Yes. Appreciate.
It and you'll get to see we'll share pictures with you guys cuz
we go a little hog wild. I'll have to have a super
special long like Halloween DND session this weekend or
something. Yeah, that's what we'll be doing
for sure on Saturday. It's like from noon until
whenever we can no longer be cognizant.
You should be there in midnight 1:00 if we're lucky, but catch
all the times. Yep, have a good night.
Night. What is that?
Kind of want to see it now. Drugs.
Wait, what? Greg has a bless option.
