Snyder’s Return :

Lister in animal form stops and again he sort of looks back to you and so he uses his nose to and grunts to intimate that that's the direction you need to go

Bron :

So is nearby just on there? Okay, maybe we should have a great start

Aukan :

actually, there's no point do not

Revan :

is it worth sending something out in front of us see if anything go for it

Bron :

I mentioned don't use torches way they're doing send out light is a beast definitely down there. Well let's start Did not I believe so. Okay I said no open flame

Unknown Speaker :

and he didn't say anything about no local

Hod :

flames oh that's gonna be a problem

Unknown Speaker :

but why do you say that? I won't do someone's about to do that I think it's because the gas is in the car

Hod :

that's very good point yeah yeah I don't work in the sewers so we're having an open flame Yeah, I can kind of make my weapon go on fire Yeah, I can

Unknown Speaker :

kind of what I do. So I mean, other things I can do plus kind of my go to thing.

Unknown Speaker :

I'm kind of at this point I would rather not have an open flame.

Unknown Speaker :

Yeah.

Bron :

Okay, I will need to go in. We are not sure.

Revan :

I will cast dancing lights and have them pair as glowing orbs

Unknown Speaker :

and I will send them ahead of us. See what happens. Everyone I'm gonna kind of follow stay with that light then. Okay, I'm casting dancing lights

Snyder’s Return :

aren't What's it look like your dancer lights?

Revan :

Well, it says actually that I can combine the four into one glowing to make it a human humanoid form of medium sized ball. So I did make a man. That's after nine o'clock. That's my premium. gotta pay extra for that bet that I can make up start. Right So yeah, I'm just gonna have it like a A humanoid form of these like four lights that seemed too apparent I can make it look like a human form. Hmm. So there's going to be 30 feet in front of us see, I don't know how far this tunnel thing is

Snyder’s Return :

quite far. So, Lister in budget formers sort of 15 feet ahead so you'd like to sort of pass over him and go beyond and then just to where that extra 15 feet of movement range of your lights. There is a the turn a junction ahead.

Revan :

Okay. That's it. Yeah. As I say, I'm just going to go with it. I think the guys with all the solids and stuff know what to do. They say anything.

Bron :

So hi. If you had amount of close combat on me moving in, I'm not I'll move up next to some scary

Revan :

yeah go in front. I'm not that guy.

Aukan :

Okay. Typical loot boy. Typical loot. We

Bron :

got many of the boys up in the Goliath

Revan :

yeah

Aukan :

well considering I was exiled for being useless I can't really make that comment.

Revan :

Okay, right I'm gonna make my dancing lights go around the corner.

Snyder’s Return :

All right, so the light filters out you send them to the end of your their range now you've moved forward.

Revan :

Yeah, the ranges I think set 60 feet for a new spot within range. But yeah, I'm just going to me where we did that corner. around. Yeah, pure round as the light goes from

Snyder’s Return :

as you pay around rather unsurprisingly or disappointingly that the tunnel dental It doesn't turn like a 90 degree like this it's more of a bend as it's all bent around and you can see almost light filtering back the way where there is a another source of light or illumination from somewhere around that bend as well not just from the humanoid dancing lights

Revan :

what is that at the I'm gonna kill the dancing lights then

Unknown Speaker :

try and keep us on detected as much as possible. I am going to take my shields off my back, which means for

Aukan :

me how much noise it will make and actually walk through the sewers. It might be a good idea

Revan :

to go a bit quieter. I think stealth up sunlight because

Bron :

I'm a dwarf in heavy armour lots the tenses me stealth in are very, very slim. I can try.

Hod :

I'm not sneaky sneaky either. I'll be honest.

Aukan :

Right I'm an absolute beast. 300 pounds, so

Bron :

Right.

Revan :

Looks like it's me if I want if

Aukan :

I say Sam ludie boy to get a closer look.

Revan :

Right? I hold word for your assistance is pineapple. Does everyone understand? Thank you. Right I'm going to meet the needs of the helm. Well God, God called again. I don't know why I'm doing this is so freakin stupid. It is stupid. Let's go. I'm going to sneak around the corner until I can either see the source of the light or something moves as may help protect you boy. Thank you cascading Sony.

Snyder’s Return :

As you are enveloped in the dimensional essence of guidance you begin to do so you're stuffing yeah Boom, you still check. Let's see how that goes for sure.

Revan :

Okay, natural 13 plus 322. Let's go bad. Not involved guidance. No negative guidance Adam ID for now. The better, better, better, better, better. Better better 25 level three. Unbelievable. See in the dark. You Hi Can I have dark vision? Excellent. As you

Snyder’s Return :

kill your own lights and sort of split the feet to come out of the water and run in

Revan :

fat fat for either side of the tunnel. That's That's it? I've had on top as well. I mean,

Snyder’s Return :

still big tunnel so you can't solve. Okay, please put your thumb out. So you're sort of straddling cowboys or Yeah, saddle style running down the sides and then every so often you sort of lift one foot and land on the other side and A couple of steps and then you can see where there's like a loose brick and things like that and you move to the other side. And as the lights and Mr. filter back towards you, there seems to be some sort of super great high in the ceiling above you. And as you come into this chamber, there seems to be three smaller pipe work flows smaller than the tunnel you've just come out of, you reckon they're probably the tunnel you've just come out of might be 1520 feet round because it's quite, quite large. It's like a service tunnel. These top 10 ish feet sort of strutting out into the middle of the light they made upon an older sewer network. So there's three there's one almost directly across from you and then two on all angles coming in one from that and one of them right in this vaguely circular chamber. Okay. Do I see any movement anywhere Do a perception check for

Revan :

pick up guidance for that, oh, natural 17 or 19

Snyder’s Return :

don't see movement initially.

Revan :

Okay? But

Snyder’s Return :

what you do see is down one seems to be like a clogging. And this used to be some, something plugged in the pipework, just across the head of you.

Revan :

Okay, I'm gonna lose my nerve at this point and I will cast my dancing lights back where the guys are because I have 120 feet of it and just kind of make it look like I'm backing in them. Let's have one that too, like doing the sort of movement of all

Bron :

Firefly?

Revan :

Yeah, this is pineapple. Yeah, I can spell out really fast.

Snyder’s Return :

Alright, so you guys have been waiting back and you sin the half elf. disappear off into the darkness. So now lights appear and signal to you while you guys doing further back.

Bron :

I think we should move on

Unknown Speaker :

without any, like notice back or any call back. I'm just gonna I'm gonna attempt to try and sneak myself and let's get some stealth roles.

Aukan :

Yeah, I'll see I'll try as well.

Bron :

Why not? What's the worst that could happen? Oh, my god no way when you play amo

Unknown Speaker :

yeah yeah I'm at 15 for the first one

Hod :

and it's 17 for the sale Oh my god. Well sorry guys, Clairol the 17

Unknown Speaker :

yes one Ah, it's always won in the party. So we can maybe start moving in if he's a bit loved. Can yeah and then splash

Revan :

Sometimes you can do like,

Hod :

use the heroes too late I've started going forward. It cannot be done, bro. That's a floater.

Snyder’s Return :

Bron Bron, you've saw Scott into Flaming Fist training mode and you start sort of getting ahead and sort of making movement by sort of sliding your feet quietly, but sort of still keeping a decent pace. Or can your frame surprisingly nimble us all up on the toes and sort of almost leaping gently between me and nice and soft. And then HOD goes to take a step and there was all sorts of ruckus and noise. So as YouTube opened up a gap then there's just this noise that reverberates down the tunnel past you And Raven, all you hear is just this cacophony of sound in terms of reverberate around the room you're in for a brief period of time.

Revan :

I've realised how exposed I am. I'm just gonna press myself against the wall, which was the one that I am currently to buy left to press against Toronto. Sorry, guys. Sorry. And

Snyder’s Return :

reason is you hear the sound and you start skipping to or do you say to your right, or your left?

Revan :

Did I say a song? To the right, I'll go to the right.

Snyder’s Return :

As you skip to the side, you're right. So we're trying to get away from this source of sound trying to blank yourself up against the wall. You will perception check for me rolling around 1516 you think from one of the pipes, you can hear like a metal metal scrape. Okay. That seems to be slow and purposeful. But he's definitely moving towards towards your location.

Revan :

Okay.

Bron :

You're years later with you though, right?

Revan :

I can just have one out so I had one I beckoned you and then I shut it off afterwards it's more of as I used it more signalling. However we should probably make a system make Oh, sorry.

Bron :

Yes, it's done. Yeah.

Revan :

First question, Rusty rusty yet, take notes as

Snyder’s Return :

a few minutes pass, even as you sort of moved across, run and walk and you've managed to make your way to where Raven isn't, and just all extinct into the chamber. And initially you don't see reason. But then on your right as you look, you see him sort of pinned up against the

Unknown Speaker :

up against the wall sort of look into one's closest to me.

Revan :

I just want to like put my hand on that chest, put my other hand through my mouth and just

Unknown Speaker :

do the shushing sound and then I'm going to point to what are the three things what are the three tunnels and be like? I think something's now one of them. Can I tell which one is gonna do?

Snyder’s Return :

Yeah, you can do a perception check together. Stop

Bron :

I got five, five

Snyder’s Return :

with the noise coming behind you or not sort of being as close to the pipework is leaving, isn't

Unknown Speaker :

it? It's just sound. That was just sound. I'm going to lean forward and we're here for a job. I feel like we are going to end up failing. Well How? Okay, wow. So I send lights down all three tunnels. So if we try and bait it become the worse. Okay, we could maybe use we could maybe use loot boys. But why loot? Play your loot? Hey, Molly, why don't you just scream like a little girl? That's the point to get it right.

Unknown Speaker :

See why Yes.

Unknown Speaker :

I have more than before.

Unknown Speaker :

I've seen it I've seen it so often

Aukan :

is I had to come up with many ideas to get the juices flowing you know?

Snyder’s Return :

At this point HOD your

Unknown Speaker :

sound catches up with everybody and you catch up with everybody as well. Right so as the bad guy, okay, you're gonna try and entice him here. I don't know if it's gonna work. You guys better be ready is three separate tunnels. So you know there's three of you. Excellent. Exactly. Let's see, let's make maybe a possible ambush. I've gone I've got a net in my inventory, I'm sure. All right, all right. I've got a new stand behind me and hard hard. Come to the left. I'll stand to the right. I'm, I'm just gonna be in the tunnel vision. You stand a bit further back behind or can start playing a tune or go and change stay hidden last moment to at least one of these three that we're going to paint. I can hide Okay, we will stay to the side I can hate either one if I if you like stand to the side of the tunnel so when it comes to this yeah okay, right well there's nothing to it but to do it you got to play to your strengths bring the loot around I just power cord hit

Unknown Speaker :

and when

Unknown Speaker :

when he was that I want to transform into my hybrid form. Okay what a hybrid form like it was I keep playing. I got distracted, didn't study that Linda Linda Linda

Hod :

shape grows bigger than the dollar grow larger

Bron :

does it compete With our eyes bigger, how big is how big is a bear? How big and a baguette to eight faces? Oh, no 12 feet.

Hod :

Huge.

Unknown Speaker :

Essentially a turn into a search. I'm aware bear. So I turned myself into my hybrid form. So I'm now I've still got my arm, you can still see remnants of that I can still use it. I can turn track everything. But essentially, I've taken on the form of a bear. And I've

Unknown Speaker :

gone in advance or whatnot. And

Unknown Speaker :

yeah, I can I can communicate so my hybrid form, okay, so I'm not I'm not appear like and so I can't transform into a full bear. I

Hod :

think so I'm

Bron :

7.87 feet so you're only just you're like the same size. That's amazing.

Revan :

And I'm just staring intently. I've actually put, I put the sizes in my notes,

Unknown Speaker :

just so they know this note that I've noted that who's on the left who's looking down the left on

Snyder’s Return :

I was I was on the left

Unknown Speaker :

or on the right all kinds in the middle of the net and then I'm behind all three of them behind yeah all right. Bear hybrid. I never heard him speak he's equivalent where equals cool and slightly shorter than

Hod :

shorter than okay

Snyder’s Return :

so as this package brings out an buffets and bounces off the walls and as far as we're aware goes down the channels

Revan :

good acoustics is amazing

Snyder’s Return :

sound seems to disappear, disappear down the channels and reverberate back the way you came down these channels

Unknown Speaker :

there was a moments

Snyder’s Return :

Just a moment silence and then you can hear coming

Unknown Speaker :

back the other way. That sound of sort

Snyder’s Return :

of scraping on metal accelerated coming up, but seems to be either side or both sides or every side it's a bit hard to tell us the sound sort of mixes in all together. scraping metal on or clora metal is it races down the corner? Brock who's got

Unknown Speaker :

dark vision bronze has Raven as Raven, you're concentrating on your loot. That's true. I can see that.

Revan :

I can not looking at my legs. I'm a professional.

Unknown Speaker :

I don't lose any of my class my race features by changing to hybrid.

Hod :

Who has dark vision? Brom.

Bron :

Okay,

Snyder’s Return :

as you look down the your respective tunnels and sort of looking down at 60 feet He's old coming around the bend or some sort of join. The sound is sort of coming back the way that scratching and tearing, and then you sort of see a set of tentacles and then a form a shape that seems to fill this this tunnel seems to be racing out towards you racing racing doesn't really get that much of a screech. It's just sort of moving at speed on some sort of Lego or muscle sore system. And it's like,

Unknown Speaker :

the edge of your vision.

Snyder’s Return :

50 feet 40 feet and they seem to be sort of not coordinated but moving together at speed. 30 feet, 20 feet 10 feet.

Unknown Speaker :

When you see I can know anything.

Unknown Speaker :

I'm going to yell that out with his net ready

Unknown Speaker :

He did every now right? Yeah.

Revan :

Stop recording the shit out of it.

Unknown Speaker :

Get the pump going.

Unknown Speaker :

Yeah, I shall now it's like the who you know?

Unknown Speaker :

Does

Aukan :

isn't more than one of them. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker :

Maybe he is maybe he isn't he knows.

Snyder’s Return :

Right so they're racing out What are you guys doing?

Unknown Speaker :

I'm throwing my neck down.

Aukan :

The one coming directly people are like

Snyder’s Return :

well there's not one coming out from the middle. It's just one from the side. So you're looking down the centre where there's a blockage

Unknown Speaker :

to fair he didn't see so I just show it now.

Snyder’s Return :

Yeah, so. So next going over something.

Unknown Speaker :

What are the other two brown pod?

Unknown Speaker :

I'm going to start it from the one

Unknown Speaker :

charge it. I I'll charge you the one that's going down my site as well. Right Unlike everybody to replenish to please

Revan :

re Go Go now

Unknown Speaker :

11 nine

Unknown Speaker :

that was a seven for me.

Unknown Speaker :

Oh natural

Revan :

so for

Unknown Speaker :

bad

Unknown Speaker :

who got the 911 for Canvas?

Unknown Speaker :

light

Unknown Speaker :

was big numbers. Yep.

Unknown Speaker :

All right so

Snyder’s Return :

as the Nets gone over the middle from all camp and you guys are preparing to to act, the one coming from the right channel towards you hot comes storming down and this set of tentacles sort of reaches out and attempts to grab you So he's gonna make contact with the tentacle a for my math right 22 to hit yes as these tentacles reach out 10 feet and sort of wrap around you know their ocean dodge like got away I need him but nothing major you take three points of poison damage but I do need you to make a constitution savings

Hod :

is that just poison damage no

Snyder’s Return :

just poisoned dumb on

Hod :

son of a gun resistance to other types of damage

Snyder’s Return :

What do you need to consume on safe

Hod :

Conte film? Here we go Oh All right.

Snyder’s Return :

Anyway sorry Why'd you get a big fat eight eight as these tentacles wrapped and dig into in the poison damage sinks in your hardiness doesn't repel the poison then now surges into your into your veins and you're poisoned for one minute and test stick

Unknown Speaker :

until this poison ends the target is paralysed. Oh, oh my god.

Hod :

Well that's that's the poison that's paralysed. That's completely different. When you are poisoned and until the poison ends, you are paralysed. So I am paralysed for 10 rounds. You the tight you can make a saving throw at the end. Okay, mounts. Okay, they I forget. Right. Okay.

Snyder’s Return :

Well, I don't know because the next one is going to make a bite is going to come out a further five feet. So that was 10 feet away. It reaches out the pipe, which you with the tentacles, it's now going to sort of slide out and bite you. With an with a look to drawing you back into the pie work so the free fight against a paralysed creature is a

Unknown Speaker :

critical hit. And you get the Vantage on the hero. I don't have anything.

Unknown Speaker :

I have nothing. We're all good. We're all good.

Unknown Speaker :

And it's fine.

Revan :

I wish we had a cleric here that'd be really good.

Snyder’s Return :

You say that I should have the camera because I have just rolled a crit.

Revan :

Double crab unfortunately. So it's trek quadruples the dice so it was a pleasure back down lutes boy as I watch TV while I'm waiting

Unknown Speaker :

I go spider thing as it moves in to sink. It's rather horrific more. All the office does

Snyder’s Return :

get them all.

Revan :

Ready. think my mom

Hod :

don't even know.

Unknown Speaker :

Show it No, I just don't board. I just threw in the foot and direction

Unknown Speaker :

Revan :

You don't have dark vision. No, he doesn't. blind.

Unknown Speaker :

This is why we need

Revan :

now i'm sure no lights were emitted from a grid above us. Grill.

Unknown Speaker :

As soon as they come into this area that we're in we can slightly see them Oh,

Snyder’s Return :

Yeah Oh you can see them uh huh

Revan :

oh you can feel them

Unknown Speaker :

or you know

Aukan :

anything visual for like well what we're looking at as well like you know how you did with the map you there D Have you got like positions and stuff

Unknown Speaker :

Revan :

is that the pants that can stretch like 15 times their size

Unknown Speaker :

right. So in

Snyder’s Return :

bear format hold Oh hybrid hybrid format you have been saved by tentacles and become paralysed taking some reasonable damage. This thing is emerged from the pipework ahead of you. Or can you've heard all this unfold next to this or slip sliding clanging of floor and metal and then hearing the impact of slapping tentacles and toothy bite, however, you've launched your nets towards the middle lit only from above.

Unknown Speaker :

And

Unknown Speaker :

what would you like to do? Well, I want to turn around,

Aukan :

run towards hard. Yeah, but my great sore drawer and I'm gonna try and slash off the tentacles. Making it about like from an awkward moment and bring it down on the tentacles to strike just try and stop it from doing any more damage to
