[Music]

do [Music]

0:54

previously you all had engaged in intense combat both verbally

0:59

and physically with chat nessa and illinois you had discussed chat's plan to reshape the

1:06

iron light but unfortunately in his path are some of the sentinels that he feels that he needs to kill you presented your

1:14

ideas to him that he should in fact not kill sentinels but he did not seem very receptive to that

1:19

idea and once you had determined that you were in fact going to stand in his way from

1:24

killing once more you all had engaged in combat chat seemed to transform illinois into

1:32

this massive metal crab-like creature with needles as claws

1:38

and nessa transformed herself into a ramirez a terrifying blue beast

1:45

with a a neck like a cobra and a body like a centipede

1:50

after a bit of combat nessa as swallowed flynn

1:57

and you all were able to capture chat although not determined if he's alive or

2:05

not alive um you all placed a coin on top of his head as he was transported back to hayfried's void

2:12

we are going to continue on now in the middle of combat

2:17

seeker you see chat has just disappeared in front of you you see off

2:24

to your right shraya has just grabbed the throat of

2:29

nessa um stopping her from completely swallowing flynn illinois off to your left still

2:36

shimmering with invisibility what would you like to do i'm going to look over at this

2:42

rim whatever it is remember and i'm going to

2:48

just kind of look at where chat was and say oh okay uh and run over towards this

2:54

creature with a dagger ready to stab it just kind of like ah and make an attack all right next to my

3:01

buddy next to my buddy

3:07

does a 15 hit how did i roll double eights like what is that um a15 against

3:14

uh nessa against nasa

3:30

[Music]

3:36

that's just me oh so if you already rolled an advantage then we're good you missed that

3:42

bonus action i'm gonna use my dagger again okay yeah yeah advantage bad advantage

3:48

don't like that one i like that one less what does not ever use

3:54

those types of what's happening a 14 they just don't feel like you're daggers anymore

4:01

as you are attempting to lunge forward and attack this creature um it's writhing around with shraya on its

4:06

throat you're just not able to to get in a clean hit is that the end of your turn uh yes that

4:12

will be the end of mine all right flynn you are uh currently in the throat of this

4:18

remembrance what are you doing um so so first off does so the water wind is still going so the wind is just uh i

4:24

don't know if it extends out bumping

4:33

expanding out around you a little bit and that is going to do maybe it'll spit me out i don't know

4:40

six points of bludgeoning damage is that enough no it is not

4:46

do i feel like that maybe started like if i did more damage would it

4:51

potentially be uh something that would make me get jettisoned out or throw up if i did a lot of damage inside it maybe

4:56

would spit me out while swallowed you are blinded

5:02

and restrained great love that

5:08

you feel as though if you continue damaging this thing if you put enough damage into it you can

5:14

you can sort of feel that gag reflex coming okay um but you you haven't quite

5:19

hit that damage yet okay um so as restrained um can i swing my sword

5:26

uh disadvantage on it i think that sounds right okay um yeah so why don't you make an attack roll at

5:31

disneyland let me see really quick um

5:38

yeah i'll just i'll i'll try and uh cut up some of it and see if it throws me up okay um all right attack

5:46

uh a lot 19 plus yeah that hits at disadvantage though oh is

5:56

um well i'll just swing again then okay oh my gosh natural 20 and a six wait

6:03

doesn't it doesn't hit the inside even though she's not armored on the inside i think it's because i'm restraining that

6:08

that is correct so um with this flynn you are just not able to get your sword it's like you're covered in like weird

6:17

goose you're not able to get your sword in a position to actually attack it's sort of like slipping and sliding off

6:22

all of the sides um can i use my movement to try and get out no okay you are you are restrained uh it's my turn

6:30

okay what does this look like to anybody outside watching um the throat is just

6:36

sort of expanding and contracting a little bit okay all right i can't really tell too much okay oh did i take it yeah

6:41

that's why i missed i was trying to miss that yeah um next up

6:46

illinois completely invisible great fun

6:51

[Music] it is going to this guy

6:57

alma thusly and kellick i'm going to need all of you to make a dexterity saving throw at disadvantage for me

7:06

you said i'm wait that's a savings though me i am just getting a plus five to that

7:12

even if it's at disadvantage oh

7:28

is still kind of within 10 feet of cecily isn't he or is that would you consider that on the dag

7:33

i'll say yeah hey i'll say yeah and then i

7:38

still i'm incapacitated it was death dexterity at disadvantage yes at

7:44

disadvantage i got a 23. oh okay hot dog

7:49

17. 17. okay um

7:56

kellick and thessaly you can just barely hear

8:02

leaves crumpling behind you and as you turn around just for a split second a fraction of a

8:08

second this some of the scales on this creature uh

8:13

d cloak and you can see several needles shoot forward towards you and you're just able

8:19

to dodge out of the way oma [Music] two of them hit you

8:25

no can i use a reaction on this sure what reaction are you using i want to intercept okay what is that doing

8:33

uh so if a creature was is within five feet of me i can use my reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by

8:39

one d10 plus four by intercepting it with my own weapon okay so i will give you the total damage

8:45

on that okay [Music] oma you take on the first

8:52

needle eight points of piercing damage okay and on the second one

8:59

you take three points of piercing damage eleven total eleven total

9:05

so that is reduced i got a roll to four plus four eight reduced by eight so i

9:10

swing them all around like i flip it in my hand and it like part of it like clangs off so that's three points

9:16

total piercing yeah as uh the invisibility covers it once more and you

9:22

can no longer see the creature next up calic

9:29

my eyes are still lingering on the spot where uh chat went down and was

9:35

evaporated away into our uh little prison in the sky uh and uh

9:43

uh i'm going to look to uh how's desolate looking because i know

9:50

they took some pretty serious hits uh yeah i'm bleeding but i don't look like

9:56

i'm ready to fall over and i look to where flynn is being eaten

10:01

by this creature [Music]

10:09

priorities are tough man is the is the the creature is not visible behind me correct it is invisible yes okay

10:16

i'm going to uh pull my draw my hand across the air in front of me

10:22

uh and and uh as i do tear a rift open uh in front of the rim raz and uh

10:30

enter fiji summon my spiritual weapon uh at uh third level

10:37

okay uh and then i'm going to use my

10:42

uh channel divinity and use path to the grave on this

10:48

remembrance as well uh as for further rifts uh i'm like i'm almost like conducting a symphony in

10:55

front of me as i'm tearing these riffs open in the space and from them all these um these blue specks materialize

11:02

into burning embers in front of this creature uh and are are like forming around it uh peeling away at the layers

11:08

of its skin uh and i am going to uh make an attack with that

11:14

uh spiritual weapon okay i'm gonna make that fourth level all right

11:20

he's gonna swing oh yeah dude

11:26

uh so that is um a 26 to hit yeah that definitely hits uh

11:34

and it is vulnerable to this damage because of the path to the grave okay um

11:39

and that's 2d8 that's 5. 13 plus

11:45

18 points of damage which it's vulnerable to so doubled to what is that 26 36 36 thank you

11:54

wow uh as my as this from this uh rift i've torn open the

12:02

slender silver dagger of zachariel slips out and cuts into the flesh of this creature

12:08

all and then right you can do it as this uh void just hovers over it and all these

12:13

uh these ashes start to um dissipate as the path to the grave is uh

12:19

as it uh diminishes as it disappears all right that is my turn oma

12:25

can i i was hit by the spikes can i identify their their origin point

12:32

um yes they came from directly behind you great so i'm gonna look at that point

12:37

that they originated from um as a bonus action i'm going to swipe my hands across my belt

12:43

get it all goopy and i am going to

12:48

raise my fist up and bring it down and i'm gonna

12:53

pull i'm gonna use this storm giants ring slash belt on me to um oh snap use lightning strike um

13:01

the points i wanna make the point of origin such that um behind me behind kellogg and behind

13:09

um thessaly is is the bri is the end of that 20 feet

13:15

gotcha so the point of origin would be it is so it's a 24 radius

13:22

10 15 20. and then it's gonna be yeah and it's

13:27

gonna be like right there and maybe he's within that

13:34

okay hopefully um okay a a massive bolt of lightning not dissimilar

13:41

from what you guys had seen the storm giant conjure um emanates from the sky as um you begin to

13:49

hear off in the distance the crack of thunder as storm clouds coalesce above

13:55

you and a massive bolt of lightning um drops from the sky i'm gonna have you roll

14:00

your damage i don't have to roll a damage there if there's a creature within the circle they roll a deck

14:06

[Music]

14:13

it's off my saving throw right it's off your saving throw

14:19

that's a 10. my debt saving is 15.

14:25

so is somebody in there we'll see um yes as you can just see

14:33

um it does not come out of its invisibility it's like a passive condition it's crazy

14:39

i don't know if damage doesn't concentrating not yeah it is a uh ability a natural ability of

14:46

the creature um you can just see sort of hiding behind

14:52

one of the walls in the ruins um sparks after the lightning bolt dissipates you can see sparks um

14:59

continuing to jump from plate to plate to plate even though the creature is still mostly invisible you do catch

15:05

every once in a while one of these um miniature bolts hitting a spot where it um becomes uninvisible and then it

15:12

becomes invisible once more so we can now kind of identify like it's flashing a little bit where it is okay

15:18

yes okay so this is a d6 and it's not a spell so i actually don't have to use

15:23

wild magic i don't think right or would you say i do because it's an item

15:28

that's actually a good question because it's kind of i'm challenging channeling conduit i'm going to say yes because

15:35

that is the more fun answer yes for now okay let's see

15:42

that is a lot of okay so math so many times um some of

15:47

them were low but so 6 15 19

15:52

21 25 points of lightning damage okay [Music]

15:59

and as the lightning continues to jump from

16:05

metal plate to metal plate you can see it writhing on the ground there for

16:13

just a moment longer than it should and you can tell that the damage was most likely doubled because oh

16:20

cause he's metal

16:26

[Music]

16:33

no i can't as the lightning around it dissipates it goes fully invisible again but you do

16:40

can identify where it is um i'm gonna have you roll a wild magic check

16:46

already okay what okay we're doing this again gosh i'm gonna stop using those dice

16:52

twice in one combo those are the ones yeah um i i also

16:58

still haven't used my calming mechanism just conveniently forgetting

17:05

um i rolled a really really good one oh boy wait a minute

17:11

the smile makes me think of that for us quickly appropriate one is she going to turn into a metal

17:16

question

17:21

as this uh this lightning just finished is dissipating um from within you

17:28

uh you you start to hear in the back of your head that that crack of thunder that you had

17:33

heard off in the distance and it starts to get louder and louder and louder until everyone around you

17:39

once again here's another boom of thunder just as though it had been the lightning again but you do not see any

17:45

lightning a company accompanying it um as a loud boom emanates from you

17:50

everyone within 15 feet which is

17:56

thessaly and kellick um

18:02

i am going to have you make a constitution saving throw crazy sorry guys

18:08

plus five is psycho it's so good nice 23. okay

18:16

19. uh 19. okay um you both saved from oh thank god

18:21

but you do both take 10 points of thunder damage ooh what happens this just like

18:27

it's like a second wave of thunder instead of the lightning bolt itself but

18:34

i heard it in my ear you heard like a little rumbling first and then it emanated out from you

18:40

i'm sorry it's okay all right is that the end of your turn

18:46

i'm just like holding my head um i'm gonna creep further back away from

18:52

people okay so that i can just have some distance 15 feet yep that works sorry i'm sorry

18:59

i'm sorry and as i as i say i'm sorry i'm just like creeping backwards all right next up

19:06

nessa is going to use half of her movement to stand up

19:12

and is going to shraya as the wolf are you is that a

19:18

grapple that she is currently in or did you just knock her prone

19:24

uh i'm gonna say that well what is what does the uh the attack role give you oh is it is it technically

19:31

a grapple or is it does it just knocker prawn i i think it i think it just knocks well

19:36

i mean in the way that i've sung my teeth in though and that i wanted to end my turn i would be like i still have my teeth embedded in her

19:44

ground that would have been an attack you would have had to do a grapple attack in order to continue grappling so it was just attack um so nessa is going

19:51

to use half of her movement to stand up she is going to sort of um

19:56

as she's getting up sort of whip around breaking your grasp on her

20:03

and she is going to first finish swallowing flynn

20:09

[Music] bye

20:18

blind yeah you take 26 points of acid damage hold

20:23

on as you hit the stomach and and uh stomach acid begins to climb

20:28

all over your body your all of your skin begins to singe and and and uh and sting

20:36

this acid right yes um i'd like to use my reaction if i can sure

20:41

um wait absorb them elements i don't think i have a reaction

20:46

because you're restrained because you're restrained has it been my turn no it's been my turn because i attacked twice so i do have reaction we're good because

20:52

you used shield because i shielded when she swallowed me but i hadn't attacked him twice also restraint doesn't take

20:57

away your reactions okay cool um so yeah i will uh similarly but more

21:03

more of a struggle i will forcibly raise my my hand up but in a fist this time as the blue uh sigil glows and i will cast

21:10

absorb elements as this acid touches my body this blue energy kind of uh covers

21:16

my form a little bit to reduce the effects and then okay as it as it does you see

21:21

some of that magic almost wisps of energy uh trans i get transmuted into my

21:27

black tattoo on my sword hand and it starts to glow a faint uh green color

21:32

all right um i take half damage yeah all right so what was it again it was

21:38

26 26 okay so 13 13. damage okay so that that curved out

21:45

a little bit yeah anything else um not to you

21:50

i don't get shooting them um shraya as this creature stands up um

21:55

you're still trying to regain your bite into into this creature um and as you

22:02

had attacked it um you can feel deep from within its

22:07

skin you can feel this incredible heat begin to take over and your mouth is overwhelmed with heat

22:15

as you take 16 fire damage

22:22

uh as that happens uh i release

22:27

my jaws uh rear back in the pain of feeling this

22:34

fire emanate through my and then from my mouth and then slowly working its way back through my

22:41

torso and down through my legs you see uh this like explosion of fur

22:47

and feathers and wingspan pop back out from under uh my form

22:53

as on my back uh the person or the humanoid you'd

22:58

commonly know as shraya emerges once again all right

23:04

all right next up as you actually pop back into shreya form um

23:10

uh nessa as a ramrez is going to try and make a bite attack here

23:16

[Music] that that's gonna be a 15 to hit i

23:22

believe i believe that just hits oh okay

23:28

[Music] 15 to hit

23:35

this is a big one [Music] that is going to be 45 piercing damage

23:45

[Music] plus 13 fire damage

23:52

oh and that is the end of nessa's turn as well

23:59

um don't give him an idea actually she just finished swallowing flint just

24:04

finished swallowing flint but um as it landed a bite attack on you you are uh

24:10

grappled by its jaws um so your speed is zero can you not he doesn't get to save

24:15

against the gravel just happens

24:30

next up shreya what are you doing oh boy this the the complete and utter

24:36

uh fissuring of flesh has just completely

24:42

like cracked my will in half or more as

24:48

there's like you've never heard the the kind of scream emanating from me after that kind of damage

24:53

uh and i am going to first of all

24:58

attempt to get out of these jaws before i do anything what what's that is going to be a strength

25:05

saving throw okay but quick quick question on the mechanics of this

25:11

uh if first of all oh no i don't have my staff so i can't cast never mind crap uh it's

25:19

in the belly you had it he's got it flynn's got it in the belly oh geez

25:27

i mean if i don't know it's i don't know it's there um okay yeah so that's the uh strength

25:32

you said yeah it's probably good to get out of that just in case strength uh strength

25:38

saving throw that is correct that's an 11.

25:43

that does not make it so you are still grappled still grappled all right that's my turn is that the end

25:49

of your turn yeah definitely okay uh is there a way for me to make it over

25:55

there on foot and get into like flanking on the other side of shraya that space

26:01

on the right side of nessa that just still doesn't have anyone yeah you definitely will uh so i'm gonna use my

26:07

full movement to get over there um i'm gonna go ahead and use my bonus

26:13

action to cast aim of retribution okay uh what does that do my

26:18

eyes uh flash like this uh silver and then like that echoes out towards uh the creature

26:25

that is now nessa and like cascades over her for like a burning flaring second and

26:32

i choose a creature that i can see within range and mark it as my quarry until the spell ends i can deal an extra

26:38

d6 of damage to the target when i hit it with a weapon attack um very cool yeah

26:44

okay so i am going to uh i was running like maul ready in hand and i'm taking

26:49

two big swings all right make those attack rolls i'm gonna try to make it throw up i'm gonna hit it in the tummy yeah okay

26:57

thank you i'm there is this still prone or you got it it's a

27:03

mom i'm aiming

27:14

[Music]

27:23

the first one misses it's a 9. that does not hit damn it guys

27:28

[Music] it's a 15. that 15 degrees yeah

27:35

do you have advantage or you're doing it at advantage no i'm no i don't have advantage i didn't do that at advantage

27:40

so i just whiff and i'm just so angry i'm so panicked all right um next up

27:46

seeker frustrated i drop one of my daggers and reach back into my backpack and produce

27:53

a short sword and i attack that is a 11 which won't do it

28:01

um and then i'm going to attack with my dagger as a bonus action

28:06

[Music] 12. 12 does not hit goodness swing swing

28:14

miss miss [Music] all right don't like me flynn

28:20

so i'm down at the belly of this thing and i'm feeling my friends trying to get me out and uh

28:27

[Music]

28:33

oh um is your wind warding wind still up um yeah i rolled a few concentration checks and it's still up okay then i

28:39

don't know if it's doing anything it's still making that bludgeoning damage uh six points of bludgeoning um but it doesn't seem like it's enough

28:46

right it doesn't seem like it's quite enough um all right i will

28:52

i'll try i'll try attacking it again but i will do um

28:57

uh i will uh grab my sword and i will uh rub my fingers together and quickly um

29:04

tap tap up the sword and i'll booming blade with my action and try and put some

29:09

thunder damage into this thing okay shocks me out okay

29:14

[Music] that's a two nope i don't like advantage because it's

29:21

inside wow no disadvantage yeah it would be a disadvantage um all right well that's my action um as a

29:27

bonus action i can attack once more so i will do that at a disadvantage 18. 18 hits all right

29:35

wow okay let's do it do something

29:40

no [Laughter] [Music]

29:47

nine points of piercing nine points does it seem to you know

29:52

no it does not then i will its stomach is starting to gurgle a little bit i will action surge and i'm going to uh

30:00

rub my fingers together and i'm going to um tap my knee and my foot and i will i

30:05

will just push it down as hard as i can um and try and thunder wave myself and

30:11

push my push like basically because i can push a person with it cool push myself out by pushing it away

30:16

so i'm gonna sure i was gonna for the record i was gonna ask this too if i'd had

30:24

inside its belly i don't know if that changes the dc or whatever but it is a uh constitution saving throw

30:31

constitution saving throw okay so i'm gonna say this is a constitution saving throw to see if it can keep its throat

30:38

constrained enough sure to keep you in place come on man that's nuts

30:45

that's nuts [Music] i'm sorry that is a natural 20.

30:53

damage damage still takes damage so maybe this will make it [Music]

31:00

uh eight points of uh thunder damage okay oh that's a bummer um and

31:07

as i move it i wiggle all right sizzle

31:14

oh did i hit with my sword no i didn't [Music]

31:23

there's more damage on that because of the um absorb elements oh okay oh yeah

31:30

but let me just see how much i need to roll sorry about that yeah uh the sword did connect oh it is the triggering type

31:36

so it might be immune but that's four points of acid damage is it immune down here

31:41

or does it still take it more acid in the stomach because i cut i cut in but it's with

31:47

where it's sword hit it's not in the stomach acid yeah well if it's not in the stomach the acid might point out that's the damage if it rips and i would

31:54

say when you when you connected with your sword you just slice through the stomach lining a little bit past that

32:00

protective layer and you are able to do the damage um because this creature is not

32:05

immune to i mean okay i'm going to have

32:11

[Music] can i do that i'm gonna have seeker

32:16

shraya oh no no no and kellick i'll make dexterity saving throws for me

32:23

any of those people within 10 feet of me did

32:31

[Laughter] dexterity i'm on the other side of the

32:37

monster so there's probably oh space yeah all right uh 30 20 30 20

32:44

seeker 13 plus

32:50

19 19 16 16. 16 okay here we go

32:56

uh 15 all right 15. um shraya

33:02

[Music] two of these needles just for a brief

33:07

moment actually i not two let me see four needles for a brief moment come out

33:15

of invisibility shoot towards you and um

33:20

and uh drive themselves deep into your

33:25

bird flesh

33:33

was that era the internal that is going to be

33:40

21 points of piercing damage as these four needles bury themselves deep into

33:45

your back yeah i'm

33:50

down and as you fall um the the creature does not pull all of

33:56

its um all of its needles back quite in time [Music]

34:02

as one of them is still buried into your shoulder as you fall it also snaps off

34:08

and you fall with it in your shoulder you now have one of these metal needles driving through your leg and through

34:14

your shoulder how how big are these exactly are we talking like the length of his arm or like what what's um about

34:20

three and a half feet okay and razor thin okay oh interesting yeah like a like a

34:26

giant sewing needle yeah but they're not crazy exactly strong i don't like this it's unacceptable

34:33

as i don't like it illinor once again goes invisible i have a

34:38

question yes um uh would i have seen them turn into is this like typical iron

34:45

like mo like or is this something else like do i see them turned into monsters like this or

34:50

have i seen nessa do this in a class like turn into a thing or um

34:56

very common for nessa to teach of potions that can transform you into something that can defeat your enemy

35:04

or even transform yourself into your enemy that is a very common thing um you also know from your sentinel um

35:11

ritual that the tattoo that chaff chose was transmutation so him reaching out and

35:19

changing illinois into this creature not out of the realm of possibilities i wanted to make sure that it's not like some spooky new magic okay it doesn't

35:26

feel like him um all right shrei you have these two needles sticking out of you

35:32

as you go down next up kellick i watch in horror as shraya falls and i

35:38

look across this rimmer ass that's still got flynn girling around in there

35:44

really stretching the limits of my sympathy for monsters and i uh i roll the sleeve up on my other arm and

35:51

i will uh march over to where shaya has fallen and i will um

36:05

24 points of healing on trial okay ash's form around these these needles

36:12

can i can i as part of that or maybe like uh consume my bonus action to try and remove the

36:18

needles with my in healing or it would be your your bonus action to attempt to remove one of them okay i'm gonna do

36:24

that then okay all right um as part of the healing uh which one are you taking out his leg or his shoulder

36:30

uh leg i think okay yeah all right um as you pull it

36:38

out and you cast your healing the wound closes around where you pulled it out is that the end of your turn

36:44

that'd be all i got i'm just gonna give a comforting gaze to try as i get him on his feet

36:51

just complete gratitude in the eyes as well as terror at what's happened right back at you

36:58

all right next up omar me what are you doing

37:04

um

37:11

so i um um i'm gonna pull my hands together i'm freaking out because there's so many people around me but i'm going to pull

37:17

my hands together and um i don't know where illinois is um i'm terrified of invisible creatures

37:25

but i'm going to understand and throw a chaos bolt at

37:31

nessa um or attempt to all right um is that a role for me or

37:36

you it's a role for me because i've been rolling so well got this you do

37:43

um uh 18. 18 hits

37:51

[Music]

37:57

get that wild magic table ready because yeah right chances are

38:04

[Music]

38:12

um 20 points of damage right at nasa is that enough to regurgitate 20 points 20 points of hold please

38:22

damage are resistant or not resistant um

38:28

[Music] psychic damage

38:34

psychic damage hits yeah yeah

38:41

it is either psycho cold so we're gonna go psychic oh you have to choose between two or something it has to be what i roll

38:47

i roll 2d8 and it's whichever i don't get to pick yeah if i got to

38:53

pick i would flynn you begin to feel the stomach just begin to loosen up

38:58

and you can feel yourself beginning to just be almost shot back up out the throat you can feel

39:05

that gag reflex starting to happen but you're just not quite

39:11

[Music] you're so close though um is that the end of your turn i'm gonna

39:17

roll uh wild magic okay 13.

39:22

okay um is that my turn

39:30

um as a bonus action i'm going to after i throw this bolt um

39:37

and feel my wild magic start to bubble i'm gonna you know bring my arms in and hold them tight

39:42

take a deep breath center myself [Music]

39:50

and um i feel kind of this opening inside of me

39:56

as i swallow the chaos and

40:03

it blossoms inside my center and i get another fourth level spell slot by expending six sorcery points

40:12

she has become chaos i own the chaos

40:23

all right next up is nessa

40:28

um she has shraya in her grasp she's going to

40:35

attempt to um wait i thought i i thought i fell on my hand

40:40

doesn't that freak him from grapple i don't know i guess i thought i was on

40:45

my back on the ground that's what it was described anyway until it's yeah i will say she is an intelligent

40:51

creature once you fell unconscious she would have let go so you are no longer grappled that is a

40:57

good point i will say that but she's not eating because she's hungry she's going to try to kill her

41:04

then in that case uh nessa is going to turn to

41:11

desolee is a pretty they've been swinging that mall around

41:18

to make a bite attack against desolee oh boy has a secret on any damage

41:27

that's a natural 20 on the bite

41:32

yeah so that is oh no chris oh no how many hit points do you have in

41:39

total what's your total hit points 94

41:46

94 points okay oh hang on i use my reaction

41:51

[Music] and uh what how does it make this attack on her it's a bite it's a flying lunges

41:57

forward with its jump from the front of its teeth just like a

42:02

a a gust of ashes just uh uh materializes just

42:08

pulling it back with a with a burst of uh of kinetic force that just lessens

42:13

the blow enough that it does not crit yes

42:18

was that from your hit a couple turns earlier oh it's cancelled you've got a cancel question

42:24

but we've never uh we're close enough divinity

42:39

we needed that leslie who's going to take me out um

42:45

okay that is gonna be 48 points of piercing oh yeah oh right just 48 points

42:51

yeah baby just for the heck of it i'm going to i think he moved over there

42:59

if it was a crate it would have been 115 points of damage um

43:07

you are also grappled as it's as its uh jaws clamp around you

43:12

so fun um all right in the fire

43:17

and um no fire no one has made contact with it this round um next up shraya what are

43:24

you doing okay so getting back up uh like

43:30

spanning my shoulder out from the pain i'm going to lunge forward

43:36

at nasa flynn if you're in there and i'm gonna dig my talons into nessa all right make

43:42

an attack roll right do i get please tell me i get something to help me actually land this

43:52

okay great nope that's uh that's an eight to hit

43:57

eight does not hit oh man uh we're doing this for being an unarmed druid yeah and i don't know

44:05

all right is that it uh yeah that that's that's gonna be my turn all right thessaly what are you

44:11

doing okay so uh i went ahead and rolled a concentration check on that aim of retribution and i got 19. okay so fun

44:17

nice um uh so now that i'm definitely within 10

44:23

feet of it uh i'm going to um use my bonus action to use valid

44:29

enmity which gives me advantage so i think for the grapple that

44:35

that counters that yeah so just be a straight roll okay so uh when i cast valve and midi for a brief second this

44:41

um flash of like sparkling diamond-esque uh this visage of like a

44:46

draconic face flashes over um the the creature that is nessa uh the

44:53

nemerons i don't know words close enough okay uh

45:00

and i am just within its jaws like biting back a stream of paint i'm going to take two swings right into its skull

45:07

okay make those attack rolls let's go straight attack rules just straight up attack rolls

45:15

[Music] does a21 hit 21 hits yes nice

45:21

d12 and 2d6 and i'm putting another divine smite in this at second level okay and i get hunter's mark or um aim of

45:27

retribution okay yeah yeah let's go let's go dude damage the d12 is a seven let's go dude

45:35

uh the aim of retribution gets added to the d6 so that is

45:40

12 for the d6 okay and then i get two d8 on my

45:50

that's 13. okay that's the first swing that's the first time nice

45:55

so so far yeah as you swing and hit it you see its eyes bulge out

46:02

as flynn you are shot up and out yes you are shot 10 feet away and you are

46:08

prone whoa out of its mouth so does it let go of me too like does it

46:13

just he hit me because i'm in its job oh yeah yeah okay oh well like full-on like like just sort

46:20

of makes contact but you're still able to to turn around and swing yes

46:26

quit this feel free to say no to this but as a reaction as i see flynn fly since i'm pretty close to it do i see my

46:33

staff on his back and can i try to grab it as he's coming out

46:39

like yeah yeah the staff sort of flies cause i see him grab it

46:44

sure okay yeah what do i need to do um nothing you've got your step back

46:51

thank god yeah it flops to your feet grasp it in both hands absolutely what's

46:58

the second attack okay so i believe i get advantage now that i'm out of its jaws right i'm not grappled uh yeah yeah

47:03

that would be correct burning anger might my eyes flash again and i'm taking a big old swing

47:11

that's not very good [Music] 14 doesn't hit doesn't it 14 does not

47:16

hit like slip on the goop like the vomit i'm like

47:22

all right um seeker i step back about 14 i step back like 15 feet

47:29

hopefully don't run into anything that's invisible and i reach into my pack and

47:34

grab out three glass orbs and start to rotate them in my palm and

47:39

as i'm rotating them they uh in the very center of them there's like a purple

47:46

flame that is growing into like a plasma and the the glass orb is almost completely purple and i take them and i

47:53

pull them back to throw them and i hurl them into the air and yell no

47:58

and as they hit the air you see these orbs flying and then they

48:04

stretch out into this this arc of plasma and flame that uh all three go and hit

48:12

this uh creature hopefully that would be that'd be what we're looking for yeah go for it make those rules

48:21

i think one hits 20 30 20. 25 and uh 12. okay two of those hit oh

48:28

wait no that's a nine not a six so that's actually a 15. oh okay that still doesn't hit 15 doesn't it yeah all right

48:34

bomber all right so to do so we're gonna roll to d6 plus

48:41

yes it is fire damage uh one first one seven all right

48:48

and the second six six all right um as both of these bolts

48:55

of energy hit it directly in the temple the energy dissipates over its head as

49:02

you can see its eyes start to fade and wander off into the distance

49:07

its body becomes loose and boom its head hits the ground unconscious

49:13

oh as all of the legs start to recede back into the body the blue starts to fade

49:19

from the creature the teeth begin to form back into nessa's head

49:25

as now you have an unconscious nessa laying on the ground what happens

49:30

to thessaloni because she grappled by it no not anymore fell out yeah

49:36

okay flynn was thrown up so nessa is now unconscious on the

49:43

ground what spell was that scorching ray if i can i'm gonna just reach out around

49:50

me and see if i feel therapists of the metal carapace of this invisible creature anywhere near me you

49:56

do not okay that will be my turn and with that we are out of initiative can we not be out of initiative sure

50:04

i would like to not be i have a thing i want to do okay um okay then next up is flynn um she's

50:10

unconscious uh i'll run up after i'll stand up use half my movement and

50:16

then i'll move towards nessa okay now laying on the ground uh does it seem like she's uh not long for this girl

50:21

does it seem she seems unconscious okay so she's not gonna die uh no not at the moment um i

50:27

will uh look around i'm not seeing um um illinois and i will just pull out my

50:33

coin and i will put it to nessa's forehead okay and send her off to hey freeze if

50:39

it works sure and voom nessa disappears where's

50:45

where's chat i'll say to the group next up kellick okay what i know

50:51

seeing this seeing what happened to eleanor when he transformed

50:57

whether or not the objects on his person exist

51:02

in this plane anymore like how does that work with locate object because that's what i want to do i would

51:07

say that they were in a similar fashion to how shraya's clothes and things they become part of the form into you they

51:14

are no longer their original thing yeah so i but i would probably understand

51:20

that you would understand

51:25

yeah they're transformed enough to no longer be their original thing okay yeah it

51:32

maybe this will work and if not or the shot um i am

51:37

[Music] going to form the uh form the uh allow my palm

51:44

once more to fill up with ashes and i'm going to draw them down my my

51:49

forehead onto my nose like i was shown long ago in

51:54

a temple in kaldor and and then uh with the the remainder that is formed i'll i'll

52:00

um poetically uh splash them into my face and my and my eyes uh and my eyes uh

52:07

become covered in this like embering film and

52:13

i will cast scrying on our

52:19

if he doesn't want to be seen which i'm assuming he doesn't that would be correct but you can i don't know how invisibility affects this but i can see

52:26

in here a particular creature i choose that is on the same plane of existence targets make a wisdom saving throw which is modified by how well you know the

52:32

target and the sort of physical connection you have to it ah you roll the natural one

52:37

yay okay on a failed save the spell creates an invisible sensor within 10 feet of

52:43

the target you can see in here through the sensor as if you were there the sensor moves with the target remaining within 10 feet of it

52:48

uh a creature that can see invisible objects use the sensor as a luminous orb etc yeah

52:54

so i assume even if he's invisible i would see the location where he is the location yes um

53:01

does that move with him it does it says okay the sensor moves with the target remaining within 10 feet of it for the

53:07

duration okay which is 10 minutes you uh you see

53:13

red trees and leaves rushing past you get the sense that illinois is

53:19

fleeing can i um uh blinking back into like blinking back

53:26

and forth can i try to draw a direction from like because we were in these ruins so there might be some recognizable

53:32

uh um stonework he also can't have gone that far he only had one turn yeah um

53:39

it's a cape i don't know also you know it's it's a tree and it's trees and forests so i'm gonna have you make a

53:45

nature check for me okay let's give it a shot to see if you can recognize any of the trees or any reason

53:51

for it it was that tree

53:57

[Music]

54:04

um you can just recognize the path that he is um going on he is running down the

54:11

path that you guys had taken to come here um but at a pretty decent speed

54:16

okay um i'll just he's fleeing that way

54:22

point uh down the path where all right he's headed i'm gonna run 40 feet in that path okay

54:29

and this magic that i this um blossoming of chaos energy that i have felt in my

54:34

center um as i get to that 40 feet i will drop to my knees and it explodes

54:40

out of me just that entire blossoming of of sorcery spell of like energy um

54:45

blossoms out and rules and psycho rulo thins psychic glance comes out one more

54:51

time okay 100 it can go 120 feet okay um and i'm going to yell

54:56

[Music] let me see the what's the math on that because

55:02

this is gonna be close

55:10

[Music] oh so 160 140 because i from where from

55:15

my 40 feet forward and then his well i ran 40 feet towards him

55:21

[Music] oh that's that's just within 15 feet of

55:27

where he would be um as this shoes forward you can't even see where

55:33

it lands um it's just trees and everything in the way um okay what's that going to be is that

55:40

going to be a a um intelligent saving throw

55:51

[Music]

56:00

so i mean that's up to you whether i can feel if it hits or not i mean i'll say yeah yeah okay

56:06

all right um so that is 7d6

56:11

and it also does a crap ton of damage for 21 points of psychic damage okay and we

56:18

can and i'm going to start running in that direction okay you used your movement on that term

56:26

so let me see um so you use your movement um

56:32

[Music] let me see okay so incapacity until the start of your next turn yes yes um okay

56:40

shraya uh what are you doing uh i am going to attempt to drive that

56:45

needle out of my shoulder but i'm gonna do it with a as my staff glows uh pinkish uh i'm

56:52

gonna touch it to that place and the the crystal is gonna move in to try to remove that uh that needle

56:59

okay and then i yeah go after it okay are you using your full speed yes okay um you would be able to get just within

57:07

um actually incapacitated i'm going to have you make a perception check for me

57:15

as you are flying through the forest uh so 14. okay um you are flying and you just are

57:21

able to see illinois um like shimmering form um

57:27

and if you're using your full speed you would just be able to get 10 feet away from him

57:32

all right uh so that that's that's all i can do okay i'm within 10 feet what are you doing

57:38

going in the direction of everyone else uh i'm going to go ahead and misty step first so that puts me 30 feet in just in

57:44

that direction and then if it takes the double dash to get there then i will i'll do that well you are let's do the math because you

57:51

are currently 110 feet away okay so that's 30 times 3 so 90. 90. okay so you are within 10 feet okay

57:58

so i'm also within 10 feet and i'm just i'm just ready you are just there there yes um seeker

58:05

i wanna is is nessa uh un unconscious she's got coined she's

58:10

gone all right so i'm going to um reach into a pouch at my side and

58:18

pull out some sand and i am going to bend down and throw it

58:23

at my feet and cast long strider on myself okay and we can all move fast yeah and i'm going

58:29

to go uh off in the direction that they just went i'm going to go

58:35

i'm gonna use my action to go 40 feet and then i'm gonna double i'm gonna dash

58:40

another 40 and then i'm going to bonus action dash go another

58:45

40 if i need to go that far okay you would be able to get within striking distance

58:50

i can't strike but i will be right there okay yeah you'd be right up on him um flynn what are you doing um i'm just

58:56

gonna seeing them run off i know that i'm not as fast uh uh kellex is still here right yep i'll

59:02

always run up to kellic as they're going off to try and stop the other one where's chat

59:07

he got um coined is he okay uh i'll have to check on that in a minute i

59:13

think we should deal with what's in photos okay all right that's fine and i'll start making my rest of my movement i'm sorry then

59:20

we'll check on him all right kellock i'm going to run 30 feet

59:26

uh in the direction of illinois okay and then how far away am i at that point from him you would be 70 feet

59:33

okay so i will um uh yeah you would be 75 feet okay

59:40

so uh but i can i see him from where i am no there are too many trees oh really

59:46

okay but he is like not invisible right now he's like shimmering invisibility it's

59:53

it's not perfect invisibility oh he's a big old crab but he's a big

1:00:01

ah man okay that changed what i wanted to do then i

1:00:07

forgot it was crap uh uh i'll just burn my um action to dash also

1:00:13

and get it okay so how far would that be uh an extra 30 feet okay so you would still be 40 feet away

1:00:19

okay yeah um i'm assuming by then i could see him yeah okay yeah within 40 feet you'd be

1:00:25

able to see um my turn again i will um run and dash so uh 80 feet forward

1:00:34

you guys all get to him he's incapacitated what would you guys like to do um if i get up there i'll try and knock

1:00:40

him out nice everyone we should tie him up he's like

1:00:45

there's no head for you to bash i mean there's no um how do we tie up a metal crab

1:00:51

i don't know we could um uh i'm just gonna we'll just do can we do damage to it we'll beat that last one

1:00:57

[Music] all right you now have a cloak of invisibility i've i've put i've put

1:09:49

actually the cloak does it have to be activated by the user or is it once the hood is up

1:09:55

are they invisible you need to be attuned to it and bringing the hood up is what activates

1:10:00

it but if i brought the hood up on even our illinois would he go invisible

1:10:05

yes okay so i don't do that i keep my cloak okay and i just pop the hood up yeah so that as they're holding him he's

1:10:11

invisible that's good [Music]

1:11:52

yeah it's good to see you too we're going to go back because

1:11:57

apparently chat is in trouble now and i know he's doing some messed up stuff but i feel like we might be able to get

1:12:03

through to him and let's just go back and see if we can talk sense into him i mean

1:12:09

if you say that he's in uh prison then we have a lot to talk about okay but it's great to see you know hold her hand

1:12:14

1:12:21

what was that before before you were you were not responsive you i was i was right there in front we're walking we're

1:12:26

walking um come on pretty simple um

1:12:32

i unfortunately um okay after they they sort of um

1:12:38

continued to try and charm me and eventually i was i was weakened and you're the best in the class i think we

1:12:44

should we should we keep going i'm afraid is uh we should really yeah we'll talk when we

1:12:50

get there i'm glad you're okay ah this another two of you i'll carry the

1:12:56

hostage thank you all right oh that's eleanor by the way he's invisible just like over her shoulder an invisible body

1:13:05

[Music] i don't know how many were among there

1:13:11

were only three that i saw all right that's good that's good to know chad said there were more let's get home

1:13:17

yeah can we just um go back to settlement keep on moving all right

1:13:24

towards the towards the shack yeah towards the show okay back to the um sure i'm gonna have you make a constitution saving throw oh my gosh can

1:13:31

we can we see if this is not this uncertain um uh that's a nine nine at this point

1:13:38

shray is visibly limping uh uh are you okay i don't know what

1:13:43

ah i uh yeah as you just see me struggling struggling something's wrong

1:13:50

come here come here that i don't feel like myself just put your put your

1:13:56

arms on my shoulder let me set you um i'm just going to look uh at the wound on his shoulder

1:14:03

and see if it because it's he's healed it since it's healed yeah it's flowing over

1:14:08

doesn't look doesn't look infected no um can i see from the uh uh the the tone

1:14:16

of his flesh um from the uh any like um

1:14:23

uh uh uh i birds don't sweat the way that

1:14:29

his his skin has his skin changed at all on his talons um he seems a little bit

1:14:34

around his eyes a little bit more pale

1:14:39

those needles are probably coated in some kind of poison shia

1:14:45

it's odd that it should linger this long though i i hope

1:14:51

i hope it doesn't linger for much longer oh i'm i'm gonna walk up next to shraya and

1:14:58

um grab my chest and in a sphere

1:15:03

of it's it's it's very transparent but it's purplish and hue if you weren't looking for you probably wouldn't see it

1:15:09

the sphere will emanate from me um it has a 30 foot radius that

1:15:14

um basically anybody that ends a turn within it will gain

1:15:20

um 1d6 plus two temporary hit points so i'm gonna try and help

1:15:28

uh buff him with uh a little bit of okay uh a divinity channel domain

1:15:35

with that um you you don't feel any positive effects from

1:15:41

that [Music] i don't i don't know

1:15:48

kalyn um seeing that uh seeing a recognizing shraya and seeing that he is

1:15:53

um a little worse for wear um she begins to walk over and she she sort of stops the

1:16:00

rest of you from walking actually moving forward and she stops raya and she sort of takes his shoulders and and sort of

1:16:07

guides you down into a kneeling position as she also kneels down and um she starts almost doing um

1:16:14

kellic what you recognize as like a basic wellness medical check um she

1:16:19

starts like scanning both of his eyes his pupils um turning his head either way um trying to just start to do a

1:16:26

basic assessment what are you doing judging

1:16:33

yeah i took a look at him all right he's poisoned by whatever devious beast your friend here turned into what beast

1:16:39

exactly did he turn into there's a big metal um crustacean of some kind um give me one moment and she reaches

1:16:46

into her her bag and she pulls out a book that is very similar to a book that flynn has um and she starts flipping

1:16:53

through it iron light it's resourceful well today the bloody

1:16:58

iron light is going to save your friend oh from the magic that they imposed upon him wonderful that's not tremendous i

1:17:05

can't take the fighting i'm in too much pain it's okay i'm gonna it's okay i'm gonna like sit next to try and i'm just

1:17:11

like petting his his um like shoulder and back on the opposite side that he's injured okay i'm gonna just hold spare

1:17:18

the dying on try as i'm just watching the light in his eyes um

1:17:24

as uh caitlyn starts flipping through her book she lands on a page and she starts scanning through in all of her

1:17:30

notes and you can see a drawing of a creature that looks remarkably like the

1:17:37

creature that you guys had fought before it turned invisible and still icky

1:17:43

but you can see she drew a little like size diagram next to it and the one

1:17:48

that she um that she describes here is almost the size of a normal crab um not nearly the

1:17:56

size of the one that you guys had found i mean she starts scanning her notes and scanning her notes um

1:18:02

and you were you were attacked by one of these yes

1:18:07

he loved it pierced my flesh two places here i like it here

1:18:14

shoulder okay um okay this is this is no um

1:18:21

this is no regular poison um try your blood has been infected with a

1:18:26

a toxic medal um that i'm afraid it's going to be very difficult to to get out

1:18:32

um i'm i'm sorry and i mean no offense to anyone in the party here but um i don't

1:18:39

believe any of you have the capabilities to to get this out of his system um they

1:18:45

don't teach a toxic metal doctor i'm sorry what was that um

1:18:50

i i got poked with them too i but i don't feel anything do you know if i also have that

1:18:56

um normally it is uh it is caused from a a a um sustained period of this metal

1:19:03

being okay yeah no they weren't they didn't stay inside of me okay um if it was just a brief moment normally um not

1:19:08

not enough of it gets into your body in order for it to make any severe effects um i'm sorry i'm afraid that this isn't

1:19:15

the case for you i i am afraid that now it is it is quite crucial that we continue moving towards

1:19:20

saddle mount and get there as quickly as possible um i have someone there who i know who might be able to help us with this

1:19:26

i can try i can try i i might need some help yeah of course

1:19:32

i'll i'll walk over and kind of put my arm around your back your wing

1:19:37

and try and offer some support come on friend yes you can do this

1:19:43

oh okay as uh some of my limbs numb well yeah

1:19:49

just i'm not going to describe this how is this progressing what am i feeling now as it continues you feel a severe

1:19:55

lack of energy and any time you move your muscles they they seem to ache um

1:20:01

you you begin to feel this um this sort of pounding sensation this headache forming in the back of your head and

1:20:07

every movement you can like feel your bones creaking i'm i might i might not be able to cure

1:20:14

it but i am i just i reach my hand out and look to shraya for permission [Music]

1:20:21

and i just want to see if lesser restoration helps with that at all

1:20:26

okay you're casting luster restoration um no that does not have any effect

1:20:32

i sign shake my head and keep walking uh and as we continue you just hear

1:20:43

i'm almost nodding off here and then keep talking to me it's okay dude tell me about the tito is that you

1:20:50

judo no it is me sika you're such a cute little

1:20:56

um and as you all begin to hastily move back to saddle mount eventually you get back to the edge of town and um as you

1:21:05

are moving very hastily um you start darting in between in and out of

1:21:11

buildings and um kalyn takes you to what seems to be a more industrial side of

1:21:17

the city and you begin to see these metal pipes emerging from buildings um going into one building and out of

1:21:23

another a pipe made of copper one made of steel um and you see all these these metal pipes and you see um

1:21:30

um machines with with turning gears attached to the outside of these buildings you see steam and um

1:21:39

and uh what appears to be uh this this coal fog coming out a lot of a

1:21:45

lot of these machines um but after going throughout part of the city kailyn um

1:21:51

bursts into a shop and you see the sign on the shop above the door it says

1:21:58

grumbling garden grove potions plants and oddities of all sorts i love that

1:22:04

i try our conscious feels like he'd love this place

1:22:10

potions grumbling garden grove potions plants and oddities of all sorts

1:22:17

and as soon as you get inside you are overwhelmed with this thick air um you

1:22:23

look inside and you can see the ceiling is completely coated with mushrooms and spores

1:22:29

you can see a little um machine off in the corner that has gears turning and a

1:22:35

bit of smoke puffing out of the back and it has a rotating um

1:22:41

three rotating platforms above it all with different plants and the plants seem to be moving their spores between

1:22:48

one another and this machine seems to be keeping them just at the perfect distance to where they can share spores

1:22:53

and thrive with each other you look and you can see a front counter

1:22:59

and you see what looks to be a mostly human woman there

1:23:06

you can see one of her arms is completely replaced with machine and cogs and uh a very similar uh to

1:23:15

actually what um thaddeus was was made of sort of a very

1:23:20

similar sort of uh machine cog looking and her other arm

1:23:25

is completely made of vines with these little red flowers sprouting out from

1:23:31

them you look up and you see her eyes are covered in these two bright red

1:23:37

flowers and as she looks towards you it's almost as though she's seeing through the

1:23:43

center of these flowers oh welcome to the grumbling garden grove

1:23:50

plants potions and oddities of all sorts

1:23:55

how may i be of assistance as she flares her long dress out and gives you a wide

1:24:02

bow that's so cool i i observe this with discomfort this whole rain this whole uh

1:24:07

arraignment makes me i'm visibly uncomfortable i'll bow and do like a little gentleman

1:24:14

and i looked at caitlyn can she help kailyn sort of pushes past everyone um

1:24:20

says um lyra we we have um someone here who who's

1:24:25

been poisoned by this toxic medal um would you be able to help

1:24:30

[Music] let me take a look at this creature

1:24:36

come lay him down on the table and she sort of gestures to her front

1:24:42

counter i'll help move him over all right and uh you get shreya up on the table

1:24:48

uh while this is happening i have taken the cloak off of our invisible man so that he's not invisible anymore let's do that and and i'm have pocket cloak okay

1:24:55

um and you can see lyra she walks over to shraya

1:25:01

and she reaches up to one of the flowers that's on her eyes and she takes it off of her face and you can see it is completely smooth there is

1:25:08

no eye underneath as she takes the flower and she places she places it between her fingers and

1:25:14

she starts almost scanning shraya up and down am i cognizant of what she's doing you

1:25:20

are completely in a dream state you are you are in a fever dream right now

1:25:25

no this is worse than i have seen in some time

1:25:32

i have most of what i will be able to cure him with here

1:25:37

unfortunately there are five ingredients that i do not have

1:25:45

i'm sorry i have ingredients

1:25:50

how long do we have we're tired but capable where do we need to go looking at him

1:25:56

the amount of metal in his body less than 24 hours okay but what do you

1:26:01

need just tell us we can do this [Music] we've seen harder things we've broken

1:26:06

people out of prison and we've done all sorts of things you can tell people that she walks over

1:26:13

to um one of the walls and you can see that there's this this fungus that has been

1:26:19

growing on the wall and it almost looks like a massive clam it's like this massive

1:26:24

orange clam of a fungus and she walks over and she very gently wipes her hand

1:26:30

across this fungus as just like a clam it opens up and you can see a book inside she

1:26:36

reaches in she grabs the book she starts flipping through could just use a shelf button

1:26:43

i thought you liked mushrooms in soup well

1:26:48

excuse me not as a cabinet it just seems impractical

1:26:54

i mean i guess if nobody else can open it then it's really secure it's like a safe it's a booster you can keep it safe

1:26:59

i would never guess i mean that'd be the first thing you try well i could try but i've never tried just saying don't

1:27:05

say don't try to burn it with fire don't do it i'm going to require a coward cactus thorn

1:27:13

a myconid spore a corpse flower

1:27:18

a treant totem and a vial of shambling mound sap

1:27:24

[Music] i will keep him here

1:27:29

if you are able to acquire those ingredients time is of the essence if you do not

1:27:36

want to lose your friend of course okay um um uh cowork cower cactus thorn

1:27:42

corpse flower tree and totem vial of

1:27:51

[Music] um we actually might have one more task if

1:27:57

you can i don't know if you have a potion or book that puts someone to sleep or for a

1:28:03

bit and i'll point over to illinois it'd be a lot easier if he was just out for this

1:28:10

or tied up [Music] i'm not going to keep him here

1:28:16

it's okay we have 24 hours we can take him back and then we can go from there we have to go back maybe hey free knows where these all these items are okay so

1:28:22

we'll just go back quick and then come back to saddle mount um it's instantaneous if time is of the essence then maybe tesla should just hang onto

1:28:28

illinois as the person most able to carry him yeah because like something so she can just bonk them on

1:28:34

the head there is also a reason i do not have any of these ingredients they are

1:28:41

difficult to come across if you're going to start start your journey

1:28:47

i would recommend immediately caitlyn can you help hi i'm alma i don't know if i've met you

1:28:54

but can you help us um i i believe so yes just like guard him because you know he's tied up right now

1:29:01

but he saved my life i'm hoping to return the favor i will stay here that don't mean shraya i mean illinois who's

1:29:07

tied up we need somebody to guard him i think i can take illinois it's hard to get the items you don't know that you

1:29:12

can take elena i can i can i can take care of them both thank you if you each if you each go

1:29:18

and attempt to do this i can i can take care of both of them okay all right

1:29:23

i mean you don't really need to take care of eleanor just like make sure he didn't go anywhere i can do that yeah he's like we don't want to take care of

1:29:29

him we don't like him no of course he's the one who hurts we don't want to be

1:29:34

malicious do you have any recommendations for where to start looking [Music]

1:29:41

there's not some sort of warehouse supplier you haven't actually purchased these items from

1:29:48

do you have a distributor maybe i mean the banuck tribe maybe they'd have seen these kinds of things

1:29:53

and i will be able to give you an approximate location she walks over to the wall with the

1:29:58

spores again and she she puts the flower back onto

1:30:04

her eye and she stands up next to the wall and she sort of rubs and almost caresses the

1:30:10

fungus on the wall and she puts her ear up to the fungus she's a little creepy

1:30:17

and she sort of cups her hand against her mouth and begins whispering into the fungus can't decide if i prefer

1:30:24

the flowers on her eyes are off and she reaches over to another fungus

1:30:30

and grabs a piece of paper she extends it out and you can see on it there's a little

1:30:37

map of saddle mount in the surrounding area and as she's listening and whispering to this fungus

1:30:43

you can hear her yes oh up into the north yes i got that one

1:30:48

and she's marking down on the map several locations

1:30:54

thank you she walks back to the rest of you

1:30:59

displays the map i have been told that this is the approximate location

1:31:06

where you can begin searching for all of these items on the wall told you this

1:31:13

the fungus on the wall tells me much i want one of those can we have one of

1:31:18

those no it's pretty interesting absolutely not thank you for the map we should maybe we'll go outside yeah

1:31:25

again okay okay um we should split up yes how many uh there's five there's five

1:31:33

and there's five of us right um um

1:31:39

the cactus thorn sounds kind of fun or or the corpse flower also sounds like fun dude like whichever one you want me

1:31:45

to take i'll take i think i should probably handle carp's flower it's kind of my wheelhouse okay can i

1:31:51

take this horn yes i guess i'll take the mic and it's bore then

1:31:56

right what else is the strangling ground

1:32:02

shambling mound um i can do this treant totem thing

1:32:07

that makes sense it leaves me with the shambling mound sap

1:32:15

did you not take the cape from uh i don't know what you're talking about well

1:32:21

the reason i ask is all of us cannot hide as well as others and maybe it might come in handy for some of us who

1:32:27

you know are not as good at being sneaky he's not good at being sneaky i'm not good at being sneaky but they'll still

1:32:33

hear you even with an invisible invisibility cloak lines would still give a that's true i'm not it would give

1:32:38

a hand up someone just came into a very special belt with lightning coming from

1:32:44

it maybe it's a good idea to share i get that it's sharing but she shouldn't wear armor that makes so much noise if she's

1:32:49

gonna wear an availability clothe because it seems like it's useless i'll take it are you wearing loud armor

1:32:55

no are you gonna take off your loud clangy

1:33:00

clangy stuff because like oh because that's how i keep from you know getting bitten in half by a giant will help

1:33:07

uh mitigate the centipede things wouldn't put our advantage would it give our advantage on

1:33:13

because you're at discipline it just makes you invisible so it just helps i'd probably have it just be a straight rule yeah because you're at

1:33:18

disadvantage already somebody's advantage right now so it might give me it would give you it would give you a straight role instead of disadvantage they could hear something but they

1:33:24

wouldn't be able to they wouldn't be able to see it okay because even if they know where she is they wouldn't be able to target the

1:33:29

spells and i mean i could take it but i mean it probably would help her still um it is your

1:33:34

choice it you carried him all the way here i'm sure he would be happy to part with it on certain occasions right tesla

1:33:41

of course it could be our team here yeah we could just share it look for the group and with that we're going to end we're

1:33:47
