Hi i'm Olma, Flynn, March, Ceallach, Shraya and i'm your DM Ethan welcome to Venture Forth
greetings pure of earth i'm shriya flynn and i'm your dm ethan welcome to venture
0:07
forth [Music]
0:37
previously you all had escaped from the city of solaris escaping the clutches of the local guard with a new friend by the
0:45
name of seeker you guys had exited the city through underground tunnels that seemed to be
0:50
some sort of religious hiding spot for people who were still faithful to the old gods
0:56
you guys were able to come out of the tunnel and make your way to the edge of the bartok rise a mountain range that
1:03
hid a temple to the old gods deep within its forests
1:09
you guys traveled up and came across a tree that seemed to be possessed by
1:14
some ghosts and aberrations of those who had fallen there after a little bit of figuring out what
1:21
uh what it took to banish these spirits once again to the the plane of the undead um you guys continued on past
1:29
this uh temple to eldoria and came across the rest of the temples to the old gods
1:35
you guys eventually found this fountain that you were looking for and were able to defeat
1:42
the spirits that were guarding it and able to fill these necklaces officially making you not able to be seen by those
1:48
who wish to track you by any magical means you guys all said goodbye to seeker but
1:55
uh he did end up taking a little bit of a uh
2:00
a little bit of a prize at the end of it in that of flynn's sword um a little bit of a payment to him um for delivering
2:07
you guys to this location um but shortly thereafter with a little bit of trickery
2:12
flynn summoned the sword back to his hand and you guys headed off in the opposite direction leaving seeker behind
2:19
so as you guys descend back into the mountains um and sort of get back into the foresty
2:25
area it's about midday the sun is just about cresting right overhead and these
2:31
beams of sunlight are just hitting you guys through the canopy of trees
2:36
you guys hear wildlife all around you you guys hear the breeze through the trees rustling in front of you and all around
2:43
and as you guys are walking down this mountain what would you all like to do what can i see
2:49
down this mountain are we how's the how's the um horizon look in terms of
2:56
uh the weather um like are we yeah so you can see it is mostly sunny right now where you guys are but because you are
3:02
up on a mountain you can sort of get a good view of of all over um you can see the direction that you're heading is
3:08
beginning to get a little bit cloudy um not a massive storm by any means but you
3:13
can see that those clouds are starting to form [Music]
3:20
clouds on the horizon uh what do you think should we uh
3:26
we should look to make camp uh in a few hours
3:31
outside yes i'm outside
3:37
okay i guess we can do that
3:42
we're not gonna want to be caught uh you know without a good uh
3:49
rest well what if it rains
3:54
and it'll rain i i don't know if we can do anything about that but then we'll be all wet
4:01
we've suffered worse i see your point
4:08
if it were up to me i would always choose to to stay the night outdoors but i
4:14
don't know if i'm alone in this big fluffy bed that's really nice [Music]
4:21
yeah i haven't uh haven't had money
4:27
had many big fluffy beds in my life so i i can't say
4:32
i've only had one once but it was really really nice and you sleep so well
4:39
yeah but this is exciting this is adventure
4:45
it's fun yes i tend to agree there [Music]
4:53
so we just keep going straight or do we know which way we're going
4:59
uh yes i believe we are headed in the direction
5:04
of some settlement correct no i'll pull out the map i believe i had it
5:11
um it looks like we go down this way and keep heading that direction
5:18
like south uh and i hold my finger up and try and point them southwest looks like we'll
5:25
head to marstock it looks like we can go there right right i think that's our best bet
5:34
we are as much as much as i uh i think the civilizations and kaldore
5:42
are probably rife with danger it probably
5:47
will be safer than staying out out of town dm
5:53
i spent most of my time traveling through calder um do i know
5:58
anything about marstock make a history check for me
6:07
eleven eleven um nothing in particular no okay
6:15
hey uh caleb do you i can't remember we've talked about this but do you think they might be able to
6:21
fix and i'll point to my head my forehead where my cloth is covering and wrapped around
6:27
you'll be able to fix this there how do we even go about doing i don't
6:32
understand the element itself then uh and i sort of
6:38
just i put i put my index finger just lightly on like just below the the
6:44
point of like a right-hand horn
6:50
and i'll just kind of push on it and see how much like flex i can get out of the horn itself
6:56
uh and uh i i've seen
7:02
all kinds of things you know uh disease is cured
7:09
cars is removed um in some cases
7:14
undeath itself purged but uh
7:19
this is something else entirely so i i think that you know the
7:27
powers of the divine is our best place to start with that but uh without fully comprehending the
7:33
crystals themselves and uh the nature of your possession
7:40
that's hard to say us yeah also
7:45
do you think these necklaces will make it harder for the seeker to find us because
7:51
um flynn you did take back something that you gave to him
7:59
yeah yeah that was a fun trick pretty rude flynn pretty yeah well he messed with me in
8:05
the tree so i figured it was only fair to get him back giving him something else probably don't you think
8:12
oh yeah and i also kind of want to see him again i have some questions to ask him and i figured this would be a good way to want
8:17
to see him at the point of his sword because that's what you're looking for oh he'll be mad at first but i think
8:23
he'll get over it is it is is your sword visible flynn
8:29
um it's probably on my backpack at this point right yeah it's on my backpack i look at it and how did you do that
8:36
noticing it that it's back again yeah i i'll once again bonus action i summon it
8:42
to my sword uh into my hand it's just something that i learned
8:47
from the crowd how far can you do that from i don't really know i think
8:55
unlimited like it's double the sword can be all the way across the world and you
9:02
could still have it come to you i mean that's what
9:07
i think they told me sometimes i don't pay attention during class or i didn't
9:13
but i think that's what they said so like is the sword just zooming around the country to get to you or or or because
9:20
then like people could die as it's trying to get to you or does it like poof out of existence and then poof into
9:26
existence [Music] well and i'll i'll uh
9:31
ride up to oma and i'll hand her my sword
9:37
here hold onto it okay and then i'll ride over i'll like move five
9:43
five ten feet to the side so like there's a little bit of separation between our two horses that are riding
9:48
and i'll bonus action summon it again and it'll just turn into mist in your hands
9:54
and and evaporate and then at the same time it re-evaporates in my hand as green mist
10:00
forms um almost instantaneously [Music]
10:06
that seems a lot safer yeah i i don't think it's going to hit anyone on the way back to me
10:12
that's downright entertaining it's pretty fun can i try something really quickly and i
10:18
uh want to uh reach my hand out to grab it sure i'll hand this sword to
10:23
you all right let's see if uh let's see if altitude has anything to do with it i'm gonna
10:28
like take off and just try to fly up as high as i can that he's on
10:35
okay just tell me when ah
10:40
from like as high as i can i just let out a big screen i turned off the armor is that when do i do it
10:47
i think that's as good as a wine as you're gonna get okay and i'll i'll try and summon it
10:53
again i'm assuming it comes back just just yes it pops back into your hand yeah the
10:58
green mist whoa altitude doesn't work it doesn't matter as i as i hear that as i come back down
11:05
i had it i was holding it so tightly and just disappeared that's extraordinary
11:12
yeah i have a feeling seeker might want to know how to do that so he might not
11:18
kill us out right but um i mean he seems like a decent sword
11:23
backs the question well these necklaces keep him from finding us i mean i know he's called the
11:29
seeker but like maybe he won't be able to seek us because the necklaces that he gave us
11:36
yeah i sort of just fiddle with it on my neck um
11:43
yeah i think it uh it's not discerning it doesn't have any preference toward the the people who made it you know
11:50
if we gave it away uh we wouldn't be able to find the person that put it on if i had to guess
11:58
do you think i can find you like if i separated from you do you
12:04
think the necklaces would help me find you if you were looking for me oma i take the necklace off oh
12:11
oh thanks um here's your horse tria
12:17
there's alright yes i might have abandoned you i'm going to whisper in the horses here sorry to
12:22
abandon you for just a brief moment and uh i'll ride up right up to try it
12:30
um and i'll pull out my bow or i'll i'll point to my backpack and i'll point at the bow
12:35
you know the bow does it too what how many items you have that you can do this with
12:41
just two it's just two and then i'll uh i'll just i'll pull off
12:47
the bow and as we continue riding i'll show it over and show them like the patterns as we continue down the path
12:53
okay awesome um who here is leading the group who's gonna be in front
12:58
[Music] uh i'll i'll take the lead me and oma means that i'm there too okay then i'm
13:03
gonna have both of you guys make a survival check for me [Music] together a spicy survival yeah yeah
13:12
natural 20. nice let's go first of all another session that is my
13:17
second roll my first roll oh yeah that's right the 11. i forgot um
13:22
okay so uh caleb you're having a hard time sort of leading the group through this forest but fret not you have alma by your side
13:30
um oh watch out for that as oma is like expertly directing these horses um
13:35
around the rocks and through the easiest terrain and you guys are um cruising down this mountain um quite a bit faster
13:41
than you guys actually came up at even with the help of seeker um so as you guys are are traveling down
13:48
the mountain um you guys all come across sort of this open
13:53
patch where the uh trees around you clear and there's sort of this this large um circular area cleared out in
14:01
the trees and uh you can see a couple of rocks protruding from the grass below and
14:06
right in the middle of these um this this open area you can see two
14:13
skeletons there kneeled down on the ground sort of facing each other
14:19
i'm gonna have uh i'm gonna have kelly and oma make a perception check for me you guys are at the front
14:26
natural 20.
14:31
i promise shane is here shane do you want to look at my dice
14:37
yeah it's legit oh hold on that's nice yeah no kidding uh
14:44
for kellogg that's a 15 15. um okay so you guys both see um
14:51
these two skeletons sort of just they're hunched over um their bones just barely being supported on themselves
14:58
and you can see clutched in both of their hands um swords and you can see each one of those swords
15:06
is driven through the other's torso um you can see some um like battle worn
15:13
armor on top of both of them they both also have helmets one of them sort of as as a little scarf
15:19
has like a red piece of cloth coming down from them and you can see they both have these
15:25
swords um shoved through each other's chests neither of them moving
15:31
um can i get off my horse and come closer yes you can um so you hop off the horse and uh you go over it's it's
15:38
i'd say um the the outcropping here is probably
15:43
about 80 feet or so um in diameter and so they're right at the middle and
15:50
um as you begin walking up nothing seems to happen
15:56
i just want to inspect their um armor and the red cloth and try to
16:03
discern you know well first of all what level of decay do they appear to be at
16:08
um just bones any sort of flesh or muscle or anything has long been gone um
16:15
how close are you getting just so i know how close you're inspecting this like 10 feet 10 feet okay um is anyone
16:22
else going up with her i will uh bob pull the horse up
16:28
park it uh get off and and give it a pat and follow uh behind home i'll be like uh
16:35
10 feet behind where she is yeah i'll um i'll just take uh the reins
16:40
of their horse and hold on to it and just i'll just sit on the horse because they're just two bodies on the ground i'll just hold it let me check it out
16:47
yeah i'm gonna hang back with flynn i'll swivel my head around and they're in the middle of an 80-foot
16:53
clearing wow okay so yeah i'm 10 feet away
16:59
okay okay um so oma you approach uh the center of this clearing kalec right
17:05
behind you um what did you say you were looking for i wanted to look at their um i just
17:10
wanted to look at them and try to understand what happened here um in the middle of a clearing these two bodies so
17:16
i want to look at their armor if there's anything i recognize um and the red piece of cloth okay um make and
17:25
you're looking for things that you recognize so i'm gonna have you make a history check
17:31
was a 19 um 21 21. um looking over these bodies um
17:38
you don't recognize anything on them um the armor itself looks old and not like
17:45
anything that you've seen before and you don't see any sort of symbology
17:50
on this red cloth either
17:55
um is there any way i can assist her with that yeah yeah i'll like watch making
18:01
sure she's okay okay 11 and 11. um you don't recognize
18:08
anything either um just notably the armor is not that of
18:13
any soldier that you have seen no no like defining marks of an army of kaldur on
18:19
dale or cambodia and the red cloth is is where it's on one of one of them or both on one of
18:25
them it's uh placed sort of as a scarf around their neck i would like to get close enough to pull
18:31
it um and inspect it and see if there's any thing on it
18:37
okay um all right so oh my you step up and um
18:42
as you are looking through make an investigation check
18:48
this uh can i from that distance see that she's attempting to touch it or is that
18:54
i mean i i guess i have extended vision but like would i be able to tell that she's actually making contact with it um
19:00
yeah you would but uh you would be able to see that um but before you be able to do anything alma what is your
19:07
investigation seven a seven um as you touch the cloth it almost like
19:14
breaks apart as these the fabric is is just so frail at this point um you can
19:20
tell it's been weathered um by years and years and years and decades and centuries of just
19:25
being out here in the in the open um shraya
19:31
you see her touching this thing and then you see around her ankle a rope
19:38
come taut as it wraps around her ankle and begins to yank her off into the trees um what
19:46
i was just about to scream be careful up there alma literally just enough all right
19:52
i'm gonna have everyone roll initiative for me god damn it [Music]
20:00
all right um first off i'm gonna get oma's initiative seventeen
20:05
[Music]
20:18
it's a straight six i need one of your die uh i need one of your die rebecca [Laughter]
20:24
first on the initiative is kellick she has not yet been uh actually dragged
20:30
very far yet she's only been dragged about five feet um but you you see this happening what would you like to do i
20:36
would like to run up and and sickle the uh the rope that's being pulled okay um
20:42
it is being pulled at the moment so i'm still gonna have you roll uh make an attack roll okay
20:49
natural 20. nice yeah okay i'm not even going to have you real
20:54
damage uh you're you're sickle um straight through this rope and you can
21:01
see at this point it's um it's it's like a pretty thick rope um
21:06
it's it's pretty thick and heavy duty um so that is what you do oma you are now free but you are prone
21:12
[Music] with the rest of my turn uh can i can i
21:17
look out to see where where this trap was laid and what was pulling the rope um yes you can um make a perception
21:26
check 18 18. um
21:32
as you look at where this rope is going you see um within the trees um right
21:38
where this this rope was heading to three shadowed figures um one of them uh
21:43
seems to be humanoid but pretty large and then um the other two uh seem to be
21:48
some sort of beast you can't quite place them yet um but you do see three figures
21:53
where this rope is going can i say uh i'll i'll i'll shout out to
22:00
the back of the other uh our two comrades further back there's three of them
22:06
um next up in the initiative oma thanks kelly what was that something lit
22:13
a trap i don't know yeah yeah um i will use half my movement to get up
22:19
okay um inspect my ankle is there any damage
22:24
um there's not just a little bit of um like irritation from a slight rope burn just with the force that you were yanked
22:30
with but no actual damage okay
22:36
the weird trap dead bodies um i
22:41
saw that kelly pointed to the side there and i'm so i'm gonna stand um
22:49
just next to him and yell that's not very nice
22:56
um and ready um i would like to ready
23:02
um burning hands [Music]
23:08
um if somebody comes out and they're scary okay
23:15
all right so i take a deep breath and i look at my burning ankle and i rub my hands
23:21
together and create a triangle where my finger my four fingers touch and my thumbs touch
23:27
and i take a deep breath and i put my hands in front of me okay um and just as you finish doing
23:33
that um from the shadows okay look you see these two beast-like figures begin
23:39
to charge out from the tree line you see two giant goats
23:45
like two giant mountain goats as they charred out from are they bipedal or
23:51
quadruple no they're quadrupedal they're proper goats they're proper goats these are
23:58
bigger do they love scary yes they do yes they do
24:05
i'm gonna say you can let that off uh right as they break the tree line um because they are they're still using
24:10
their movement so i'm gonna have you cast that spell and that's your dexterity saving pro
24:17
a dex saving throw from them okay let me see what their dexterity is i would
24:22
assume it's not too high um but it is perfectly average and that's a
24:28
natural one and another natural one i think i'm just balancing out yeah i'm balancing out
24:34
almost now you're the other end of this that was that has never happened
24:41
i mean two not um critical hits too so wow yeah okay okay
24:47
streaming so last two days both of them is that i'm sorry is that for both of them
24:52
it's a cone so it's when they go yeah it's when they yeah they're up at the distance right now it would be good because it's 15.
24:59
okay um yeah what is that damage for them oh boy um and also is that a spell it is a
25:06
spell [Music] hey no actually that's good i'm far away
25:11
i'm right there
25:17
[Music]
25:26
terrible actually really bad that is eight oh
25:32
eight points for both of them a fire damage okay that's a really bad roll guys
25:39
i had two ones there feels bad feels bad right
25:45
okay does that actually i've always wondered about this does that damage register in the like level of flames and
25:51
searing itself or is it or is that just how much damage they take from
25:57
static you can color it whichever way you what what did you what did you roll on your wild magic
26:02
what did i need to roll above you needed to roll in 11 or above i rolled a 10.
26:17
okay so i'm gonna roll this here and then we'll see we'll see what
26:23
happens oh man [Music]
26:28
everybody within a 30-foot radius is protected from this
26:35
okay um so as you cast this um you the fire protrudes from your hands and um
26:44
normally there's a little bit of smoke that comes out of this spell um but now
26:50
there is a lot more and all of a sudden there's more smoke than there is fire
26:55
and there's even more smoke and you drop your hands down and the smoke continues to billow out of your hands and like you
27:00
shake your hands and you cannot stop this smoke from coming out of your hands and uh pretty soon you and kellick are
27:07
both encased in a fog cloud
27:14
i can't get it to stop what's going on here girl i don't know oh that's a big fog cloud
27:21
you guys are now encased in a fog cloud um your vision is reduced to zero oh boy
27:28
um you guys can't see anything um and yeah so that's there now are you
27:33
still there caleb and i'll reach out and i'll touch him he was just to the side of me and can i find him
27:40
uh yeah you reach out and calek is still there [Laughter] oh god i'm just kind of shaking my head
27:48
in the midst of this as it pillows out i mean i told you they looked scary
27:54
okay um so that is the end of your turn and then interesting enough
28:01
they've been fogged they uh they're gonna charge through and because they have to see you to hit you um they
28:08
actually have disadvantage on their attack now [Music]
28:13
okay um so one of them is going to be coming for each of you so that first one
28:18
that is going to be oh two good rolls um for kellik that is gonna be
28:24
[Music] a 20 a dirty 20 to hit that'll hit
28:32
and then the damage on that as this ram uh it's it's a huge ram so as it's charging towards you
28:39
it is no surprise that it still hits you just with its size um that is gonna be and you feel this um this horn just
28:46
bludgeon you right in the chest that is gonna be [Music]
28:53
seven points of bludgeoning damage [Music]
28:59
i may have forgotten this is our last combat i'm going to have you make a dc uh
29:05
13 strength saving throw 13. uh but a strength saving throw so
29:12
that's uh 14. uh 14. okay you do not get knocked prone um but you do take an extra
29:19
jeez five points of damage as you can feel the force of this charging
29:25
of all the bloody things i'm unconscious you're unconscious no i didn't heal
29:31
after our last we just fought ghosts and they didn't murdered me no you didn't hear yeah after that
29:37
and we can't see him are you sure you didn't heal up man i'm pretty sure did we heal i don't
29:42
think so yeah i completely forgot we got this we got this guys
29:48
um okay it's gonna be okay no it's not he's down in the middle of a fog cloud
29:53
and no one can stop anything i had temporary hit points because of my false life but i think those would have
29:59
been gone by the time yeah so yeah it's one hour duration so yeah definitely what have we gone yeah right
30:05
now oh my that is a 24 to hit you yeah that hits okay don't give a [ __ ] about a [ __ ]
30:14
jeez yeah these things are huge and they rolled really well didn't intimidate um okay that is going to be
30:20
five points of bludgeoning damage and i'm gonna have you make a strength saving throw [Music]
30:29
ooh failed um uh seven seven okay you take an extra two points
30:35
of bludgeoning damage and you are knocked prone yeah as both of these rams charge straight
30:42
through the fog cloud um try it and flynn you guys see these two
30:47
rams like their speed not even impaired as they charge through this fog
30:53
and make it to the other side okay um that is their turn next up
31:00
is flynn yeah of course it is yeah just change everything
31:06
okay um i'm gonna turn to
31:11
[Music] try up
31:18
i'll fend them off get in there and help them and i'm gonna i'm gonna hand the reins to him of the
31:25
other of the horse uh that oma and kellek were using and
31:30
say like and point in that direction uh and i'm gonna charge on the horse
31:36
and try and get in between these two mountain goats and the fog cloud to try and stop them from uh charging in again
31:44
so like right up in between both of them right up next to them okay um let me see so
31:50
um i need to find the speed of a horse um 660 feet okay yeah so then you're
31:56
easily able to um charge up and get right in there in between if i can be
32:02
within five feet so they're both within melee oh yeah for sure that would be awesome and um
32:08
[Music] yeah i don't know how mountain mountain
32:14
combat works but i'll just stay on the horse i guess so it's it's gonna be the same um just your movement speed becomes
32:19
the mount's movement speed okay so when they hit me or the horse it's just my hp
32:24
or can they just kill the horse really quick um you're not sure we're gonna see if they attack you or the horse we'll
32:31
see okay well i'm gonna i'm gonna do i'm gonna run up to them and i'm going to attack one of them so i will cast
32:39
um yeah i will attack one i will uh you know
32:47
similar glowing on the wrist tap tap tap i'm gonna hit my blade and uh come down
32:53
on one of them with the booming blade and try and do some some damage okay and if they try and move again they get
32:59
shocked again so uh roll okay that is
33:06
um pretty good uh 21. uh 21 hits yeah okay
33:12
uh let me go back to the spell so booming blade do my weapon damage thunder damn ton of damage
33:19
okay uh 16 points of damage altogether uh some of it's piercing some of its
33:26
uh thunder okay um you charge up and you slash at this thing and your sword hits directly in
33:33
the middle of its head and you can feel as you yank it out the goat falls lamp and is dead
33:39
what oh um okay uh in that case could i maneuver
33:47
um how much let's see you went
33:53
actually that's fine yeah you you don't have about 15 feet of movement yeah um
33:58
i'm good i'll maneuver to be in in uh in between i'll interpose myself so it
34:05
dissuades this thing from trying to charge through the vlog cloud again because i don't know what's going on in there okay but i probably heard
34:12
trampling and ouches so i'm gonna try and block this yeah um and uh that is my
34:18
turn okay awesome um next up you see from well
34:24
schrei is actually the only one who would be able to see this oh boy from the tree line uh the third
34:30
figure the bipedal figure that kalec saw
34:37
comes out from the tree line and you can see a massive humanoid with
34:43
these massive muscles shoulders like hunched over and you can see just a
34:49
single like loin cloth coming down as it holds a club in its right hand and you can see at the middle of its face one
34:56
singular eyeball as a cyclops comes out from the tree what
35:04
how tall is it um this thing is 20 feet tall so it is like it is like
35:10
cresting the tops of these trees you can see the shraya as it comes out of the tree line it pushes
35:16
two trees out of its way as these massive evergreens their um entire trunks snap as it pushes them out of the
35:23
way how did we not hear giant footsteps
35:28
we're it is going to use this movement to walk up to the edge of this fog cloud
35:35
and it is going to just attempt to beat whatever is inside of it um it is
35:42
going to try and make an attack that's going to be a disadvantage because he can't see what's going on and i'm prone you are prone and so is so is khalid
35:50
he's actually just going to be a straight role um let me see who he's going to attack first
35:58
yeah he's gonna use this great club [Music]
36:05
um oma you are like searching around this this
36:10
fog cloud you have no idea what's going on and you feel this massive club boom
36:17
right next to you about six inches away from your torso as you're laying there oh geez the ground shakes beneath you
36:24
and this uh great club just lifts right back up off of the ground as you can see some of the fog
36:30
you can just barely see daylight coming in from where this club had actually uh swiped through the fog and sort of made
36:36
this this air pocket and as it lifts back out the fog cloud resumes into its normal position
36:42
oh that is going to be its first attack
36:48
i put my hands over my mouth so that i don't make any noise okay oh smart it's a second attack
36:54
[Music] boom it comes down and hits the ground just two inches away from kelly's arm as
37:01
he's laying there prone on the ground
37:06
tria what do you want to do oh my god that's like doesn't have a third attack
37:13
so i i handed i handed you the the horse and i said go get them and i ran up and swiped one of them and before i could
37:20
even say are you sure before that could even leave my mouth uh i then look
37:26
directly into the fog cloud and just screech at the horse
37:32
or just and maybe even like disorientedly just
37:37
gallop as fast as i can into that fog cloud okay um and would it actually be faster
37:44
if i flew than to be on the horse or i don't think that matter i'm just trying to get there as quickly as possible flight speed what's your flight speed
37:50
yeah i think it's actually the same as the horse so because i'm on the horse and that would take like extra whatever to take off i'm just gonna gallop okay
37:57
um yeah you make it into the fog cloud let's see how far [Music]
38:03
and you brought the other horse too right for them to get on yeah yeah i'm i'm taking the caravan are you with me
38:10
are you but i'm leading for anywhere in particular within the fog cloud or you just running into the fog club i'm i'm
38:15
running into because i i heard you know pain i'm sure or would i've
38:21
heard like the pain of the previous ram attacks yes you definitely would have
38:26
okay so and i can't remember if i can prep a spell while i'm moving probably not right but
38:32
i can use an action um i'm gonna say uh while you're riding on this horse you can you can prep your spell yeah so i so
38:38
i start humming and calling to the roots of the earth
38:44
and the boundlessness of the sky as i mutter
38:55
one and as i say that i'm going to assuming i can find him and see him
39:02
uh that word is a healing word that i will extend over to kellik
39:07
okay i'm gonna have you make a perception check at
39:12
disadvantage and i'm going to say that dc is going to be 13 to find him
39:19
all right this is this is why i have good perception he goes please spirits of the forest spirits of
39:26
the worst of the forest wait disadvantage disadv well it's not
39:32
going to be any better than that yeah i have to take the lower roll anyway uh yeah that's a 10.
39:39
you run in prepping healing word and you realize as soon as you run in this fog cloud you can't see as well as you
39:44
thought that you might be able to see in this cloud and you're looking around you cannot remember where kellogg fell um or
39:50
at least where his last known spot was okay is that end of your turn uh that's
39:56
yeah that's the end of the healing word is a bonus action right oh so you technically still have an act
40:01
oh it is i still have an action no that is correct okay uh
40:07
in that case i am going to use my action to
40:14
does is the perception like if i were to now use my action to additionally try to
40:19
find him or would that have been already rolled for and what i just rolled i'm going to say
40:25
we can we can play this that if you make a perception check right now
40:30
actually no i already i already had you make a perception check you you did never mind yeah this would this this would be just actively like feeling
40:37
around the ground yes okay then i'm gonna make you have you make a separate investigation check
40:43
awesome okay [Music] which i'm not as good at at all but
40:49
maybe the guy will be kinder to me ah 19 all right there we go um with the dc
40:55
being the same um you feel uh you actually hop off the horse this time um as you couldn't see him but you hop off
41:01
the horse and you start padding around and feeling on the ground and soon enough um
41:08
uh but soon enough you do feel um the tunics and the uh the the torso of calic
41:15
is my bonus action still valid it is not or is that it is not anymore oh because it was yeah because it was crowded in a
41:21
different okay gotcha i know you probably know that he's not doing too hot yeah every ounce of me wants to and i just
41:28
can't okay you got it next time next turn okay kellick i'm gonna have you make a death
41:34
saving throne okay yeah be fine it'll be fine it'll be fine that's a success
41:39
that was a 16 on the day single success okay um oma
41:45
you are prone on the ground
41:52
um uh yeah i'm going to
41:57
um take um i'm gonna i'm on the ground
42:02
i'm going to feel over and i feel that try is there and i want to feel that calic is there but not doing well but i
42:10
um felt that try was feeling around so i know that there's somebody else here to help me um the shreya we gotta get out
42:17
of here is it is it dark everywhere oh you you're
42:22
you're merely encased in some misty smoke or something i don't even
42:27
know what this is but yes it's not it's not unclear everywhere just in here okay so
42:36
so if i just crawl out i can see again yes yes and i suggest i suggest we do
42:42
that as soon as we can and i look toward uh i look toward kellek and i just well
42:48
up with we have to save him maybe you can grab him and fly him out
42:55
yes great idea okay um [Music]
43:01
i'm going to um get onto my hands and knees which is 15
43:07
i think i'm half my movement because i have 30. um and then i'm gonna crawl
43:14
um another 15 feet in any direction and just try to make my way out
43:20
in the direction opposite where i felt like a club being swung from
43:25
okay all right so you crawl 15 feet um you uh
43:31
you just barely sort of feel the fresh air outside of this fog cloud but you
43:36
are not quite out of it yet okay um i'm still going to i'm crawling still um i'm
43:41
going to turn back around to where the clubby thing came from i don't know what it is yet um
43:49
i can't see anything but i know the general direction it came from and i'm um i also don't think i have to
43:55
be able to see it i'm going to um uh breathe and rub my hands together and
44:03
um open them into creating a giant ball of mass between my
44:08
fingers and i am going to [Music] center myself because i just caused a
44:15
bunch of smoke to come out of my hands and tell my hands okay don't do that again
44:21
and open them and create a ball of mass but i'm so concentrated that um my
44:28
spells come out very very quickly and i'm going to use quickened spell [Music]
44:33
yeah and i'm going to throw a um chaos bolt at
44:40
that being okay you're going to need something from me
44:47
nope okay [Music]
44:53
18 to hit but at disadvantage i'm pretty sure uh is it i don't think i need to see
44:59
anybody it says it gets thrown at an object it doesn't say anything about having to be able to see it but
45:04
there's an attack role inside of it it's blog cloud right it is an attack role though so it would be a disadvantage
45:12
nine no nine no um you don't see it but it does not hit
45:18
okay um that was um um quickened spell though so that was a
45:25
bonus action so i just like right away
45:32
magic on that one first before you do uh anything else that's a four okay we did all right
45:40
another one yeah i do it again because i don't know if it
45:47
hit or not but i'm just going very fast and that one was
45:52
all the same [Laughter] literally the same rules they were both
45:58
18 and 9 and eighteen and uh sorry eighteen and two and eighteen and two ah okay i'm gonna have one more wild magic
46:04
roll i succeeded
46:13
all right so next up on the initiative is um our giant goat friend so seeing
46:19
that it's a friend has been slain it is going to turn around uh towards flynn on
46:26
the horse and it's actually going to back up a little bit so flynn if you want to take an attack of opportunity you can yes i
46:33
do i very much do okay um
46:38
yeah i'm just going to give a quick little uh actually i'm gonna
46:44
tap tap tap booming blade again because i can do that baby uh
46:50
yeah 21 again okay uh 21 definitely hits yeah cool so here's the dimage
46:57
that is uh
47:03
15 points of damage piercing and thunda all right
47:14
and uh as i poke it uh that energy still seems to have those waves from the cut
47:21
as it's standing still okay um just barely hanging on um it's gonna back up
47:29
and when it moves again it takes oh hold please
47:38
damn it another one point of thunder damage as the energy in that cut pulses and and rips the tear a little bit
47:44
further but not a lot of damage another one okay um so this goat um begins to
47:50
back up and you swing at it and slice that and you can see this wound beginning to open and pour out blood and
47:56
you can see the goat sort of rearing back onto its hind legs and as soon as it moves to sprint
48:02
towards you you hear within it as the goat falls limp and dead down to the ground no way one point
48:08
of damage oh man hilarious yes okay
48:13
um that takes the goats out of it um flynn and now it's your turn let's do it
48:19
okay so do i see this thing uh cresting over the top of this fog
48:24
its shoulders and its head well above this fog cloud and i'm seeing this club come down into the fog and i i just turn
48:31
around take care of the goat um i want to kind of run around the fog
48:37
um kind of like around uh and i don't want to get in melee with it
48:43
i kind of maybe would just want to go with a diagonal so like i'm a little bit further north maybe towards the tree line and as i'm running i'm just
48:49
screaming full force at this thing like hey over here over here one eye and i'm
48:55
just like trying to get his attention so it stops swinging at people in the fog cloud because it doesn't see anything in there so i'm hoping maybe if it sees a
49:01
target it might go after me instead okay i'm gonna have you make um either intimidation or persuasion check
49:10
definitely great at those um i'm a threat i'm a threat i'm a threat
49:17
okay uh intimidation or persuasion both zero but i rolled an 18. okay
49:23
all right um you definitely have the cyclops attention yeah i'm just waving um and that uh
49:28
sounds like an action um could i no i'm not i'm gonna just yeah i'll uh
49:35
could i send the horse off and just jump off of it yeah sure um and just like stand there by myself just waving my
49:40
shorts the the horse does still have extra movement so you hop off the horse sure i'll tell you i'll like smack its booty and send it off he's off into the
49:47
tree line and i still haven't do i still have an action um yeah you would
49:52
yeah i'll uh bonus action summon my short bow drop my sword and just shoot a shoot an arrow at this thing see if i
49:58
can get more of its attention by trying to shoot it yeah make an attack roll sure
50:07
ooh uh ten ten does not hit no okay okay that's it that's my turn over here
50:15
okay um next up the cyclops uh turns towards flynn um as you can see even
50:21
just its body shifting in order to turn towards him like distorts the fog cloud a little bit just with the amount of
50:27
force that he turns with um loki is going to take two lumbering steps over
50:33
towards flynn and uh you can see him now towering over you this guy is 20 feet tall so maybe
50:39
this wasn't a good idea he takes his great club in both of his hands and he's going to attempt to swing
50:45
it over his head and hit you twice oh god okay here we go
50:51
okay the first one is going to be a 17 to hit
50:57
um shield okay it doesn't hit so as it happens i raise that hand uh like flat palm and that
51:05
that energy comes up and it just shears the club off to the side um yeah whoa
51:13
come on is that all you got okay next
51:19
that's gonna be a 24 that will push through the shield okay
51:26
breaks through the shield um that is going to be
51:32
oh boy this is not going to be good for you we'll help
51:37
won't be here in a minute hey man that's 25 points of bloodshed oh 25. oh
51:46
crap my oh okay all right yeah you got all right
51:52
all right now you see the cyclops bearing down on you um all right that's going to be his turn next up
51:59
tria you now have kellick right in your hands what would you like to do
52:06
[Music] and then give him a healing word
52:11
for nice get him up
52:16
for max healing uh yeah ten points healing god
52:22
how much was it sorry ten ten points of healing what what what a delight you are to be
52:28
around [Laughter] as as the as the word courses through uh
52:34
out of my lips and as the my staff sprouts through the bottom of it uh it
52:40
it energizes uh kellik almost like the staff and the word or interacting is
52:47
uh he well i guess i will let the dm say he regains consciousness because i just
52:52
like hearing ethan say that he regains consciousness ah yeah there it is
52:58
oh how much should i miss yeah quite a bit
53:04
uh i don't even know quite what's going on but
53:10
there are not good things happening right now and i
53:16
help him to his feet i think olma went that way and flynn's over somewhere that way and
53:23
get out of here for now right we can get out of the cloud here
53:28
yes it's it's it's not quite very large it's it's hefty but i i think we can make it right uh
53:35
let's get out there and deal with those goats yeah yes okay like it's your turn would you like
53:40
okay [Laughter]
53:53
[Music] uh toward where i think the goat may have gone i'm gonna
53:59
i'm gonna head out uh uh just out of the cloud i guess uh okay in
54:06
the direction that they came from you were prone so it is half your movement to well help me up with his action yeah because
54:12
he bonus action healing word and then uh of course he didn't even really move yeah he didn't move or do an action
54:18
that's what he did okay so you have your full movement of course i was going in the other way oh you're
54:25
going the other way toward where they came from because i'm going to go deal with those goats yeah
54:30
and then you just leave this fog cloud and you almost run into the calf of this
54:36
giant cyclops that you see swinging vigorously at flynn oh god there's a boulder here i can lean
54:42
oh right ah
54:49
i'm gonna look up at this towering creature and i'm going to uh
54:57
close my eyes tightly reach out at this calf
55:04
and cast vampiric touch on uh what does that mean
55:10
get some healing uh uh as an attack role
55:16
it is not probably nothing are we flanking uh oh are we flanking you are you would have advantage get it
55:23
baby he is totally preoccupied with flynn okay okay that is a 16 to hit a 16 hits
55:30
yes so i i place my hand on the cap of this thing and and uh
55:37
where my fingers touch uh little uh tiny the the uh the rifts that we've
55:44
seen in the in the in the uh the weave so to speak uh are just tiny tiny
55:50
microscopic versions of those appear at each of the points of my fingers as they as i touch this thing and and there's
55:56
this like uh uh fiery explosive reaction happening where
56:02
uh on its flesh there's like burning singes but as uh it makes as the terror makes its way
56:09
over to my fingers it becomes uh more of a silver you a bluish silver hue
56:15
uh and i uh will roll my damage
56:20
[Music] which is uh 10 points of necrotic damage
56:28
and i regained uh five points nice health okay that's ten points of damage
56:34
yeah [Music] okay i suck this thing's life force out through its calf
56:41
[Music] uh and then uh that'll be my turn i think because
56:47
i'm not gonna leave with attack rate okay um are you sure you don't want to leave his attack range are you positive
56:54
about that i just want to give you one last chance to confirm uh i'm gonna stay here
57:00
the question is does the cyclops like what just happened
57:06
next up how kinky of a cyclops
57:14
yes you know that the fog cloud is just about to end right in front of you
57:19
i am still crawling i will crawl a little bit and and i'll crawl do i see
57:26
anything and i'm am i and i will crawl until i'm out okay you crawl right out into
57:34
the carcass of a dead goat right right
57:43
[Music] um
57:50
not this way and i will just pivot um to the left
57:56

58:01
okay and look around for my friends
58:08

1:02:40
got up and ran away from you um you are still in this fog cloud what would you like to do i'm
1:02:45
now looking around frantically where did everyone i just
1:02:52
and as i close my eyes and center myself uh
1:02:57
i raised the staff above my head as i flick it and then
1:03:03
plunge it into the ground as i cast a gust of wind to what i think is the heart of this fog
1:03:09
cloud okay nice um okay um this gust of wind emanates from
1:03:16
your staff and the fog cloud completely dissipates from around you and everyone else sees the
1:03:23
fog cloud clear uh and as a bonus action at the end of this spell
1:03:29
i can redirect it once and as the fog clears and i
1:03:35
see what's going on around me and i see this this massive [Music]
1:03:40
[Laughter] hulking cyclops next to me but just my
1:03:45
first instinct is to just redirect that gus directly toward it okay uh is that a strength saving throw
1:03:54
yes that is a strength saving throw a cyclops shouldn't have much strength right it's super weak
1:04:00
pretty weak oh god no it is not weak
1:04:06
no oh hey there's that's unless he just 25.
1:04:14
it doesn't do any damage i was just hoping to push it away from y'all but it it does not at all like his little
1:04:20
loincloth kind of blows up in the air all right um
1:04:28
cool next up in the initiation a little bit [Music]
1:04:34
and i will uh i'll use my action to disengage uh and i will
1:04:40
go 30 feet away from the sky yeah uh hang on uh
1:04:48
what's my yes cool yeah i can go as far as yeah and then i will cat use my bonus action uh
1:04:54
[Music]
1:05:03
uh and uh that will be uh automatic because of grave cleric
1:05:10
life uh nine points of healing too okay nice
1:05:15
okay um that is nine points of healing as you guys see actually actually i'm gonna cast it
1:05:21
at second level uh and that'll be uh uh
1:05:28
13 points okay awesome okay um awesome so you guys see uh flynn pop
1:05:34
back to consciousness um flint you wake back up and as you're taking your breath
1:05:40
[Music] you see stone walls around you [Music]
1:05:46
oh see what a table in the middle of this small circular room
1:05:52
oh not right now no and you see a door in front of you no as a shadow begins to loom over here
1:05:58
because he got unconscious oh no next up omar oma
1:06:04
what would you like to do i revived the wrong guy
1:06:09
how does um how does the cyclops look
1:06:14
um it looks bloody but not too bad and embarrassed because
1:06:24
okay the shame has been tarnished i am yes i am going to go like 60 feet and i
1:06:29
mean i'm gonna go into the into the um not 60p that's that's crazy um
1:06:35
30 feet um away further away into the tree line and
1:06:42

1:06:47
a tree okay you are well hidden behind the tree and i'm going to
1:06:54
when goes down we all just run away and i'm going to um um i i'm still
1:06:59
crawling so probably can't go 30 feet because i'm crawling i don't know how much how much movement can i'm going to say your crawl speed is 20 feet and i'll
1:07:06
give you 20 feet he's still behind his feet i'm still crawling
1:07:14
and i'm turning i turn back around um from behind the tree and a different tree that's only 20 feet further but you
1:07:20

1:07:25
breathe really really deep my uh the only
1:07:30
and i rub my hands together and open them up again and as i do that
1:07:37
it does feel like it's happening much faster than before similar to how i did it in
1:07:43
the fog cloud and throw two chaos bolts
1:07:48
with quick succession to each other and i will
1:07:54
um yeah throw up two chaos bolts get them chaos ball okay go for it

1:08:58
okay we're getting back up there okay
1:09:05
next up um flynn you wake in this confined room um now
1:09:12
with this shadowy figure looming above you it's it's limbs long and um like
1:09:19
it looks like this malnourished almost like skin and bones shadow creature as its fingers elongate into these weird
1:09:27
creepy claws what would you like to do [Music]
1:09:33
opening um eyes and seeing this remembering it from before [Music]
1:09:39
i have my sword right yes you do bring my sword up
1:09:45
pointing at this creature i don't have time for this
1:09:52
my friends need me i'm gonna raise it back grab do i have a horn still
1:10:00
you do not have your horns no man
1:10:07
i'll raise it back and strike okay make an attack roll
1:10:15
ten attend your sword swings right through it like it was cutting through shadow
1:10:20
nothing does it seem like i'm missed or does it seem like i can't attack this thing
1:10:26
it seems like you probably missed okay uh my second my second attack okay
1:10:31
12. at 12. the same exact thing happens you swiped through it like nothing was there
1:10:37
your sword didn't find purchase on anything um i'm gonna use my movement to run through it
1:10:44
okay towards because it's like in between me and the door right yeah i'm gonna try and run through it
1:10:50
okay um you successfully run through it but [Music]
1:10:56
you take you take two points of necrotic damage um as you can feel like your skin
1:11:01
beginning to crawl and singe um as you run through it and you make your way to the door
1:11:07
yeah if i make it i run all the way through if i can get out okay um i'm gonna have
1:11:13
you make a charisma saving throw [Music]
1:11:24
ten a ten okay um you run up to this thing and again there's like this this
1:11:30
weird like almost clear gel substance between you and the outside and you try and make your way
1:11:36
through it but you just can't um your your strength isn't quite there at the moment turn back around to this thing
1:11:42
come on [Music] i just stare at it okay everyone else sees flynn pop back up
1:11:50
seemingly fine he looks he looks good and ready to go he grabs his sword in
1:11:55
his hand and he looks down at it and he lets go and it drops to the
1:12:01
ground as his eyes roll back into this black swirling mass as his eyes darken
1:12:09
and the horns on his forehead begin to grow a little bit more and and almost crest even the back of his head
1:12:16
as you hear him say
1:12:23
as these arms and hands begin to burst through the grass in the ground
1:12:28
and reach up and begin to claw at the feet and the legs of this cyclops as these these arms begin to elongate and
1:12:36
the they they climb up but it's just the arms as they reach out from the ground they climb up the legs of this cyclops
1:12:44
and they're tearing at it and their their fingernails begin to rip at its skin almost seeming to try and drag it
1:12:50
down into the ground i was gonna say your parasite probably doesn't want its vessel to die to a cyclops so
1:12:58
oh man so that is gonna be for the cyclops
1:13:06
that is going to be [Music] 20 points of slashing damage as these
1:13:13
these hands like their fingernails are clawing into the skin
1:13:18
and that is going to be 20 points of that damage and
1:13:24
as it is uh like trying to to escape these things the hands drag it down into the ground and
1:13:31
it breaks and falls to its knee and it is uh immobile it is its speed has been
1:13:38
reduced to zero for the time being so that is the end of
1:13:45
flynn's turn as his eyes then roll back and and uh the blackness from behind them goes away
1:13:52
um all right next up the cyclops it's just going to try and
1:14:00
break away from these these arms maybe a strength saving throw on his end
1:14:06
which oh that's a roll uh a low roll so
1:14:12
a 10 does not do it it is still uh it is still has its speed reduced to zero next
1:14:18
up shraya finally has a low roll
1:14:26
uh as i see that everything that's transpired and how my
1:14:31
gust of wind suddenly is now clearing my vision i mutter under my breath maybe this will
1:14:37
move you and i uh raise my uh
1:14:42
staff high above my head uh and a few twinges of electricity start to tick down
1:14:49
uh from the sky as i stomp it into the earth and uh cast
1:14:54
thunder wave in the direction of yeah okay
1:15:00
um is that gonna be something on my end or is that yeah so that'll be uh that'll be another i mean yeah it's another uh
1:15:08
strength save i believe you just double check that yeah no it's constitution oh it's constitutional
1:15:14
thank you because i have that one too yeah oh uh how about 12
1:15:20
that is not safe okay nice so that's uh let's roll these two d8s
1:15:26
and also push 10 feet away so i guess into the it
1:15:31
looks like into the tree line and nice uh not very much damage though
1:15:38
uh five points of thunder damage ah get away from him
1:15:47
okay it looks really not good at this point um
1:15:52
okay next up in the initiative is kellik um how does this flynn look like himself
1:16:00
again or does he look still make uh either
1:16:07
yeah make a medicine check for me okay okay
1:16:13
uh 16. oh no sorry sorry that's wrong uh 15.
1:16:18
15. you've never seen him cast a spell like that before his eyes just rolled back in his head and turned black um
1:16:24
probably something's up okay it's unlucky [Music]
1:16:30
uh i don't know what to do with the problem in hand i guess
1:16:37
um i am going to get uh just in the center basically i'm going to
1:16:43
move uh like up to get position myself in between
1:16:48
everybody um the gang okay i just want to be within 60 feet of everybody
1:16:54
yeah okay yeah you can you can definitely get that cool cool uh and then i'm going to xcoco i'm going to cast told the dead
1:17:01
on this on this guy okay [Music] and that is uh uh wisdom saving girl
1:17:08
natural one hell yeah all right so he takes
1:17:13
uh oh no wrong die i rolled higher on the v8
1:17:20
uh he takes seven points of necrotic damage uh and then i'm going to use my bonus action because that was a can trip
1:17:27
to cast healing mass healing word on the gang okay oh wow
1:17:33
uh so that will be everybody regains uh seven points
1:17:39
of health including including our possessed buddy

1:17:53
okay um next up is oma um i'm very tired
1:17:58
um so i i raise my hands to to do it again
1:18:05
but i can't quite focus my breathing and i can't quite get my energy right and all that comes out
1:18:11

1:18:18
and i'm very tired [Music] um and i cast firebolts
1:18:24
[Music] that is a 16 to hit
1:18:30

1:19:45
oh wait actually it's like oh yeah this button okay all right i'll send you all right um the rest of you guys see uh
1:19:52
flynn take a couple of steps back away from this cyclops
1:20:00
um as the cyclops is just swinging wildly gonna get an attack of opportunity on him
1:20:05
[Music] which rolled a four so that does not hit um but flynn backs
1:20:12
away and um he takes his hands and he sort of reaches down towards the ground as this
1:20:19
this this purple energy swirls around his feet and then latches onto his feet and legs and makes its way up his body
1:20:26
as his whole body is sort of consumed in this and everyone can see as he looks up
1:20:32
towards the sky you can see some of his wounds beginning to close and heal back up
1:20:37
flynn you take another
1:20:43
nine points of healing [Music]
1:20:54
so now that charisma saving throw um that comes into effect right now as
1:21:01
far as timeline goes okay um all right next up on the initiative the
1:21:06
cyclops it is going to attempt it's going to use half of its movement to stand up and the other half of its
1:21:12
movement to limp away as fast as it possibly can so it's running it is running off into
1:21:19
the tree line and it gets you guys can see it it's a cyclops you
1:21:25
guys can see it's like pushing trees out of the way yeah it gets it gets 60 feet away um
1:21:31
next up in the initiative is shraya would you like to pursue i would like to pursue
1:21:37
and as it's running away i just furiously pull a javelin one of one of march's
1:21:43
javelins actually i'm gonna put one of march's javelins out of my yeah and just hurl it at the thing
1:21:49
okay make an attack roll [Music] uh does a 14 hit 14 just hits yeah
1:21:58
get in your damage there's okay here's my
1:22:03
that is five points of piercing damage all right this thing is running away and it's
1:22:09
running away as you take out this this javelin hold it in your hand throw it
1:22:15
[Music] boom as the cyclops face plants right into
1:22:22
the ground dead as you hit it dead center on the back of its neck yeah i look over to shreya i can press that's
1:22:28
quite an armstriae i'm done the strength her strength
1:22:34
moved through me and through her blade huh if only she were here to see it
1:22:42
hi that was a great shot everyone all right what
1:22:47
then everyone okay
1:22:55
[Music] yeah i don't know what that was but it seems to be gone now i um
1:23:03
am still on my hands and knees and i peek my head out from behind the tree is it over
1:23:11
i i think so are you sure flynn
1:23:17
yeah maybe going to this place is going to help i'm good right now as soon as
1:23:24
kellex says it's over alma just falls to the side and just like hugs her knees into her
1:23:30
chest and just lays there i have to admit i
1:23:38
i was not ready for that
1:23:44
i banned her so much i i i don't know i thought it would get lucky
1:23:52
yeah that was not what i was expecting either and i kind of sit down i'm a butt
1:23:59
dm does he look okay i know he says he is and he sounds like himself
1:24:05
make a medicine check for me i almost dropped all my dice uh there's
1:24:11
a 22 uh 22. um he's definitely like rattled and
1:24:18
something's definitely going up um physically though his body seems to be okay he took took to the
1:24:24
healing okay um his eyes are back to normal the horns though are still um a
1:24:29
little bit further back they they have kept their growth um looks like him sounds like him so as
1:24:36
you're checking me out i'm like feeling the horns and i'm just like man
1:24:41
does this look better or worse i mean
1:24:48
you look ridiculous i'm sorry and i look around on the ground for my
1:24:54
piece of cloth that must have fallen off during the battle and pick it up and start wrapping it around the
1:24:59
uh horns again can you see them maybe it's better without the wrap
1:25:04
it does concern me that they grew because you know if uh
1:25:09
because if if they're growing each time this thing gets a
1:25:14
hardier than i'm going to might not flynn real quick plan i'm gonna have you make another
1:25:20
christmas saving throw for me
1:25:31
[Music] well
1:25:36
we're on the way to fix it i don't know what else i can do right now but
1:25:42
i you're right but i think if i just keep it covered maybe we just don't fight these and i
1:25:50
look over into the distance things maybe it won't come up again or they maybe they won't
1:25:56
grow again dm is the as we're looking across this
1:26:01
battle torn scene how are the skeletons doing did they get trampled by that they have
1:26:07
been falling over uh they were trampled by the goats um yeah they are pretty
1:26:13
much demolished i mean i'm gonna try anyway there's probably zero chance of this but can i
1:26:20
discern whether or not the skeletons were placed or just the truth
1:26:25
um yeah make an investigation check and as this is happening i'm going to have flynn make another christmas saving
1:26:32
throw oh uh 14 on the investigation 14. um
1:26:38
okay uh caleb you are checking out these bodies um and from behind you
1:26:44
uh you hear as flynn you uh you regained
1:26:50
consciousness what where'd it go
1:26:56
oh [Music] well what do you mean then the
1:27:01
the cyclops or yeah it was just fighting it and it's gone now
1:27:07
try it try it took it down it's oh it's over there
1:27:13
with a pointy thing in its back where is she okay i i i'll walk over to him
1:27:20
are you all right lad i mean yeah i mean i when i without himself for a second but
1:27:26
i don't know i'm back now i guess when he gave me some aid uh
1:27:33
how do you feel about your uh your horns flynn i'll reach up and
1:27:38
feel them i mean i don't know i'll pull the turbine down or the little wrap around down i'll touch them
1:27:44
do they feel bigger or long do i noticeably they've gotten a little bit bigger yeah
1:27:51
um what why are they oh did they grow
1:27:56
well they grew we just had this conversation
1:28:02
what what's the last thing you remember was it just being in front of
1:28:07
that beast no no when i
1:28:13
it's happened before when i fell
1:28:18
and i opened my eyes again i was in a dark room
1:28:24
with only one exit and this
1:28:30
shadowy being standing in the way
1:28:35
and when i ask its name it says nothing when i swing at it my blade goes right through it
1:28:43
and it i just it took me a bit but i eventually got through
1:28:49
the door i guess i don't know spoke to us in your voice when
1:28:56
at least that's the that's the sense i can make of it we just talked to you you seem
1:29:02
normal what
1:29:08
you you walk up you did some terrifying magic against this beast you
1:29:15
hailed your own wounds and then you talked to us as yourself
1:29:20
huh about your horns flynn
1:29:26
um i that wasn't me
1:29:32
tell us about this figure in your in your mind it's really dark in that room i've only
1:29:38
been there once before and every time i'm there i just try and get out but
1:29:46
i mean i i don't know it's just it's just this
1:29:51
shadowy mass dark figure it doesn't say anything
1:29:56
it doesn't react when i swing i don't know
1:30:04
uh what i was gonna try and do when i was in there and i pulled my blade out i grabbed one of my horns and i wedged
1:30:11
my blade in there i was gonna try and do this and i'm gonna try and break the horn off oh
1:30:18
okay um make a
1:30:24
constitution oh saving throw oh okay um so roll a constitution saving
1:30:30
for my for myself yes this is gonna be very high okay probably not good then all right
1:30:36
uh yeah seven or eight eight actually you start you start yanking at it and it's not going it is
1:30:43
painful it's it's like trying to rip your arm off i'll i'll like grab his
1:30:50
his sword arm as he's doing this and try and just stop him it's not going to do it lad
1:30:58
the creature's not in the horns then all right and i touched the hearts
1:31:03
how do you know that it's inside of you [Music]
1:31:10
what do i do it's beyond me we need
1:31:16
[Music] we need someone we need an expert
1:31:22
but i don't know that we could tell the difference between you and the creature you could be still
1:31:30
not yourself i i'm gonna look i'm gonna just like
1:31:38
neat crouch down and and just like try to look into his eyeballs past
1:31:43
[Music] past his eyeballs and and just see what i can see if this is if this is him or
1:31:49
not make an inside check for me [Music]
1:31:55
hell yeah huge roll uh 25
1:32:00
25. um you can see the worry you can see the concern um you can see the the
1:32:06
genuine effort to just try and rip off one of these horns it's most definitely flynn
1:32:13
me yes but for how long
1:32:19
oh my god um
1:32:25
i'll uh take my sword put it on the ground
1:32:31
take my bow put it on the ground go in my bag grab some rope
1:32:37
toss it to pull my hands out i'm up
1:32:44
i can't be trusted not until we get this fixed
1:32:49
i'll look down at the rope i'm not sure
1:32:55
this will do any good then
1:33:02
can help try alma
1:33:08
what do you think alma is like 100 feet away
1:33:14
still curled up in the fetal position [Music]
1:33:20
oh try i look over if we are to bind him
1:33:26
should we use that rope in particular or a different one [Music]
1:33:33
rob is robshire that is the very rope that
1:33:39
forged our initial good feelings toward each other i i thought it was foolish at first too
1:33:45
but now it just seems wrong to bind him with it
1:33:51
i look i like to get along like a dryer and i turn typhoon's hands
1:33:57
yeah i'll do like behind the back of the situation um actually
1:34:03
try ruffling his feather i might need help getting on the horse now
1:34:09

1:34:48
right well maybe i don't know if this thing knows how to do that i don't know what it can
1:34:54
do but maybe from watch what you've seen it doesn't care for your sword so
1:35:00
it might not matter let's just try and stay out of trouble it seems only come by when that happens
1:35:08
right when i put the i'll put the i'll put them in the holsters on his pack
1:35:14
and um and i'll help him up on to try his horse if that's cool
1:35:20
yeah and uh oh alma
1:35:27
how you doing last i'm so tired
1:35:32
hi sun's getting low in the sky as well
1:35:39
maybe we can find someplace nearby it's safe is anything safe anymore
1:35:46
i was just thinking the same thing
1:35:53
uh uh try i maybe take to the skies and i'll look down here maybe we can find someplace it's got a bit of cover well
1:36:00
yes uh as long as flynn can keep himself steady on this horse
1:36:06
well we'll we'll stay stationary uh hold on look after flynn i'm just gonna poke around just just
1:36:12
just over here okay and i finally release my legs and start to get up
1:36:18
i get a little bit lightheaded when i get up when she comes over and i'll walk over
1:36:24
um you doing okay i just feel really
1:36:30
empty like how like i don't have any energy to raise my
1:36:39
hands and i start to lift them and then they just flop
1:36:45
like my head isn't tired like my eyes are not tired
1:36:50
but i just feel so empty inside well i mean you did a lot
1:36:57
in that fight maybe you're just exhausted maybe
1:37:03
well we're gonna rest soon so that'll help yeah well maybe i'll just feel like this
1:37:10
forever i've never felt like this before nothing's forever
1:37:17
nothing's forever yeah you might have horns forever
1:37:24
i don't think so we'll figure it out
1:37:29
why are you so optimistic don't know
1:37:36
i just don't know why we should be anything else glenn you're being possessed by some shadowy creature i think if anyone has a
1:37:43
reason not to be optimistic it's you i mean don't get me wrong i'm really not
1:37:48
excited about it and i'm worried and i'm scared
1:37:54
but i know i have you guys yeah but do we know we have you
1:38:00
well and i emotion i like lift my hands up that's why i did this
1:38:05
okay well maybe we should come up with like a code word that the other guy doesn't know so
1:38:10
that you can be like pancakes or you can try it
1:38:16
what do you want it to be pancake bumblebee no that's silly [Laughter]
1:38:27
it's got to be something like super super crazy and obscure because like i maybe then the other guy will know i
1:38:33
mean although he did talk like i mean pancake bumblebee is pretty obscure and random
1:38:38
yeah but that's just weird that's better now
1:38:43
well think of a better word okay let me know when you think of it
1:38:50
yeah well you could also think of things too i like pancake bumblebee i think that's
1:38:55
great well i don't all right i'll think of things too
1:39:00
and i'll look up to this guy to see if i can see shraya flying around i wonder when they're coming back me and me me
1:39:06
and schreyer are looking for uh a place to run yeah what can i what can i see from defensively what can i see from the
1:39:11
air um make a perception check for me
1:39:17
dirty 21. first good roll okay
1:39:23
yeah looking around um just to the west of where you guys had this encounter um you see another little
1:39:30
outcropping much smaller um and only maybe
1:39:35
100 200 feet away i yell down
1:39:41
uh and sort of fly in a circle and then in that direction as i as i yell
1:39:47
that way i will i will follow uh where he is
1:39:52
leading okay um and as you guys make your way through the trees um i'm gonna hold um
1:39:59
the third horse's reigns and glenn's horse's reins and just walk behind them
1:40:05
um as you guys make your way through the trees it takes you no time at all to get to this second little outcropping here
1:40:10
and um as soon as it opens up uh you guys see a like a
1:40:17
big piece of stone that seems to have been shaved and carved down um you can
1:40:22
see it sort of like well worn in almost as if a possible seat um or a chair for
1:40:28
a giant creature you see a a large like a tree trunk
1:40:34
coming out of the ground that has been cut off at the top and all of the branches have been shaved down and you see some giant rope about the same size
1:40:41
that um was wrapped around oma um wrapped there leading to
1:40:47
two collars um two giant collars that have these like leather straps um and
1:40:53
then right next to the stone chair uh you see another huge sort of tree trunk
1:41:00
with a rope tied around to the uh end of it and that rope leading out to where you guys were almost like a fishing line
1:41:07
um and as you guys uh approach into this there seems to be a little campfire
1:41:13
that's been going there um well i shouldn't say little it's a pretty big campfire um that's been going there um
1:41:19
and you guys can see a um like uh made from the trees around it
1:41:25
sort of like a fence barrier around this little area so as you guys walk up um the
1:41:30
campfire greets you um along with the the smell of some recently cooked meats
1:41:36
from wildlife and with that as you guys uh approach this little safe haven in
1:41:41
the woods uh we're gonna call it right there that's where we're end today's session
1:41:47
