Timothy (DM)  
Welcome to Shadows of Prophecy, a D&D real play podcast following the ill omen DWeb of lives whispered by the void. Their names repeated in the darkness. Shadows of Prophecy is a Dungeons and Dragons podcast with violent themes and adult language listener discretion is advised. With us today to traverse through Adventures of awe and dismay. We have myself Timothy as our ambivalent DM

Unknown Speaker  
Nicole playing Tsereteli chambers, the Tsereteli and the Tsereteli siblings if you haven't picked that up.

Unknown Speaker  
Playing blades, the knots are healing in this really siblings, arranger with a thirst for danger.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
And I'm Kendrick who plays Yonce Bey, the person who finally found for Thank you Goddess Freya.

Timothy (DM)  
Join us as we enter the Shadows of Prophecy, act one in the shadows, chapter 12. overgrowth

Unknown Speaker  
I get the name now.

Timothy (DM)  
Previously on Shadows of Prophecy, our party of this rally siblings and Yonsei spent on unknown amount of time in a weird mushroom bubble. She eventually came out to some undisclosed year in summer we think, and early morning or late afternoon. After finding their bearings, they did their best to try to avoid someone playing the flute in the forest, which did lead them to a weird black tree with a katana sticking out of it. They promptly ripped that out. Not we nothing ominous about a katana sticking out of black tree

Unknown Speaker  
using a system of pulleys very, very low limit pulleys.

Timothy (DM)  
And that almost again resulted in their death, as black oozes attacked them, destroying much of their armor. They barely survived, where they met a mysterious stranger who zipped through, put the katana back in the tree and disappeared. They did not even introduce themselves. And after a very uneventful long rest, Yahtzee did slap the shit out of blades. I was told to say that I sent my letter and then they again avoided a swamp avoided the flute again, continued to avoid the flute ran into some cats, again avoided the flute ran into a grove of trees that were not actually trees, but people who had horrifying voices and news to share. And Cirelli will definitely not be carrying that around on her shoulders for the rest of today. But eventually they did approach Ilrune where they find a giant tree growing out of the ground. We're black and purple goopy substance on the roots, and a glowing green light behind a bramble of thorns. And that's where we start today. So you all are looking at this tree Yonsei has just come to the realization that this may in fact be Ilrune Although the people are not here, and neither are their homes.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Can you also look around to see if they can find that table that they ran around to kind of confirm that this is Ilrune. You look

Timothy (DM)  
around you don't see any table that when you look at the runes you start to examine them further. And you realize that these are stone rooms and you call back to approximately five years ago, give or take a while considering the time dilation we just experienced. And you remember that there were runes just outside the city of Ilrune.

Unknown Speaker  
Just for the clarification of those listening at home. Timothy's saying ruins with a Midwestern accent.

Timothy (DM)  
Yes, really? ruins ruins ruins

Kendrick (Yonce)  
because like stone rooms, yeah. And then I remember your Midwestern

Timothy (DM)  
Dune, really outside the village of Ilrune, where the portal was, you don't really know why there were rooms outside of Ilrune. No one ever talked about them during your experience there.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Okay. Yonce is going to look around the ruins and just see Yonce is kind of in their head right now. They, they're being triggered by all the things that happened five years ago. And this is the first time you guys have really seen Yonce just not in control. Because even when they've been upset, they've been in control. So Yonce is just going, you're just seeing Yonce walk around, trying to figure out what's going on.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Very frantically.

Unknown Speaker  
Well, Sister dying. Anything else in that vision of yours? That'll tell us what to do now that we're here?

Unknown Speaker  
Well, the tree certainly looks familiar. In the vision, I saw a ritual of sorts.

Unknown Speaker  
Do you remember where

Unknown Speaker  
I believe it was by the tree? So maybe, maybe we could take a closer look. And certainly will make her way towards the tree. All right, and just look around, perhaps

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah. As you get closer to the tree, again, the ground is getting more and more cushy, for lack of a better word, with the Uzi black, almost partial consistency at this point. Oh, that's just like pressing out of the ground. And you notice that it's all around the base of these brambles that are growing over this tree and as you kind of peek through the like breaks in the brambles, you can see that it's growing up the tree itself, as if the tree is not the source of this but something that is being consumed by it.

Unknown Speaker  
Brother, do you do you notice how the vines seem to be in trapping this tree? Might? Might you do? Do some work to chop the vines?

Unknown Speaker  
I'm going to do you think so? Well, last time I put array, I'll do my best. Go check on Yonsei though I don't think they are right. Oh, okay. Just start hacking away at the brambles

Timothy (DM)  
Alright, do you start hacking at these brands? brambles? Can you give me a strength or athletics check

Unknown Speaker  
the head all over again.

Unknown Speaker  
That was I see someone reference. I don't know what you're saying.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
When everyone kept tripping over the hedge?

Timothy (DM)  
Oh, yeah, that's the season one reference 1313 Okay. So you start hacking with these brambles. And you start to notice that the undergrowth around you is moving and chunks of the finds themselves also starting to pulse and come in closer or should just live. I'm going to need everybody to roll initiative 11

Unknown Speaker  
I got nine. You said tits.

Unknown Speaker  
I did. That's what I got. You got tip 13 Apparently the best so I'll take it

Timothy (DM)  
Yonsei Yeah, yes. What do you get?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I got a nine

Unknown Speaker  
blades 13

Timothy (DM)  
and sorrelli

Unknown Speaker  
11 cuckoo cuckoo.

Timothy (DM)  
They start moving towards you. And as they pull themselves out of the underbrush around you see these humanoid shaped creatures Made of wood and gnarled vines and they start to swarm your position several of them charge towards you, you hear the crunching of their Twiggy limbs in the squelching of the ground and I'm gonna roll some dice there but I'm going to do

Kendrick (Yonce)  
non ugly we don't like when the DM rolls die

Timothy (DM)  
really. I feel like it's a thing that we all have fun doing.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I do like the sound of it though sounds very comical.

Timothy (DM)  
So they are going to start climbing at you all. So they they two of them are going to charge at blades climbing at him and he is going to take

seven piercing damage another one is going to swipe at Cirelli. But she's able to definitely dodge out of the way. Duck dodge and dodge again.

Unknown Speaker  
Alliteration

Timothy (DM)  
and more go after Yonsei both missing blades. What do you do as you start to notice that the forest all around you is moving coming towards your position

Unknown Speaker  
upset the gold's the entire forest,

Timothy (DM)  
it's a figure of speech but yes. It's what it feels like everything around you is moving. It seems like there are swarms about to come down on you from every direction.

Unknown Speaker  
Lovely. Lovely. All right. First, I'm gonna cast I'm going to summon my heavy metal lute playing very good spirits on my square. And immediately healed one D six, five, and then I'm just gonna start hacking away.

Timothy (DM)  
All right, let's make some attack roll.

Unknown Speaker  
Does a nine hits

Timothy (DM)  
a night does not hit. And there are kind of there are five in your immediate vicinity.

Unknown Speaker  
And then a dirty 20 for the second time.

Timothy (DM)  
All right, that will hit

Unknown Speaker  
for a whopping five piercing damage.

Timothy (DM)  
All right. It is a significant amount of damage as you see that you slash into its side. You hear the crunching of twigs and the snapping of their limbs as they begin to crumble under your hit.

Unknown Speaker  
These shirts ain't so tough. It's really

Unknown Speaker  
your I'm gonna cast lightning bolt.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh shit. Yeah, see if we can set the full size. Oh, no, no, no, no.

Unknown Speaker  
So a line of of lightning is gonna come down this purple lightning. And if the creatures are close to one another, it'll hit all of them. So the all these chains? Yeah, it's like a line. Oh, nice. Okay, 100 feet long and five feet wide.

Timothy (DM)  
So I'm gonna say that you can catch three of them in that. Okay. And they make duck saves.

Unknown Speaker  
They do.

Timothy (DM)  
Does a 18 Save? Yes. All right. Take half damage. Yes. All right, roll for damage

Unknown Speaker  
13

Timothy (DM)  
for that first 113 Okay, so you sent out a bolt of lightning it shoots through three of them. You see that one is obliterated is blasted to like char and the other two that are hit. Kind of have that like lightning strike of burn across their bodies.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I guess we're not preventing forest fires. We're starting them. Sorry, Smokey the Bear.

Timothy (DM)  
A bunch of smaller ones start charging you now. Just stumbling in through the brush. They jump in on to the battle and they are going to do some more claw attacks they just start clon at everyone Okay, so each one of you are going to take a hit from these tiny Twiggy blights

Unknown Speaker  
to the answer go or is this the same round?

Timothy (DM)  
This is different more creatures. Oh God is more creatures so blades gets hits for two piercing damage Oh, so rally also gets hit for two and yon tickets for three of course because you know the spicy one gets you now like hip height versions of these are swarming all around you are they doing hip hop? Oh no, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. Do you want to turn or not? It is your turn.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
All right, so I'm going to take out my crossbow. I'm going to do eldest boss with my because I have two weapon fighting does that mean I can do magic and then do my crossbow?

Timothy (DM)  
No. Okay.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
How close are the are the hip hop in trees?

Timothy (DM)  
They just attacked you. So they're like right there.

Unknown Speaker  
So zero fee.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, consideration All right,

Timothy (DM)  
there are five five feet away mechanically on a five by five grid sheet of paper.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Thank you. I'm going to use elders blast

Timothy (DM)  
going for a tall one or a short one.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Let's go for a tall one cuz I have a plan. It does a 16 Hit it does.

Unknown Speaker  
Wait is it disadvantage if they're Jason or is that just ranged attacks not spells?

Timothy (DM)  
Oh yeah, that's true. Arranged spells.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
You had to say something blades I hope you get a splinter where the sun don't shine.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, I already have set so they

Timothy (DM)  
do advantage in melee range.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So I gotta roll again. Yes, you do.

Unknown Speaker  
All right, that's fine. You fix that.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
That would be a 18 So you still might still have and one D 10 plus three. So that's going to be nine damage. As I just blast I put my hand in front of myself and I just used I blast the elders blasts at the big one. He blasts

Timothy (DM)  
the eldritch blast Okay.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Anyways, my bonus action is unarmed strike. So with that I'm going to hit one of the smaller ones all right, and I guess I gotta roll with disadvantage so

Timothy (DM)  
you are melee in melee range doing melee? Oh, you're fine.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Does a 2030 20 hit

Timothy (DM)  
I did 20 does hit

Kendrick (Yonce)  
alright that's one D four plus three damage and that's going to be seven damage

Timothy (DM)  
pullover

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm so tired of you just smash

Timothy (DM)  
into it eight like shatters around your fist and it just is thrown across the forest floor

Unknown Speaker  
as I'm doing this

Kendrick (Yonce)  
as I'm doing as I'm punching out I'm so tired this fucking trees and it's fucking forest.

Timothy (DM)  
That's great because as you say that to combine ones start to lift off of the brambles and they go to attack you young thing.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
I love trees.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
We've all been we've all been we've I love trees. So

Timothy (DM)  
they have these like spindly thorny appendages and they go to try to wrap around you with them.

Unknown Speaker  
Who doesn't love a good hug

Timothy (DM)  
one of them is successful as the vines begin to wrap around you. You take 13 bludgeoning damage and are grappled fine

Kendrick (Yonce)  
with that I'm going to since I've been attacked, I'm going to use my reaction and use hellish rebuke perfect and that's they need to do a deck Save All right.

Timothy (DM)  
I think they automatically fail because they can't run away from you. Great. So that's by grappling you they cannot Dix drizly on do what they just did. So yeah roll that damage

Unknown Speaker  
maintain damage

Timothy (DM)  
alright so you blast them with fire surprisingly they're not mechanically effect affected by fire any more than normal things but yeah they they are burning I don't know why is that burning burning as Oh we got all the toil tall boys come in and they are making those attacks let's roll some dos

Kendrick (Yonce)  
what's the McAfee

Timothy (DM)  
I don't know

Unknown Speaker  
is do we have

Timothy (DM)  
so the one against his fiancee the other attacks miss but Yonce is gonna get hit with how do you know attack because it and the dice gods have spoken you are going to take six piercing damage

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, that's not too bad.

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
comparatively when I got hit with 42

Timothy (DM)  
like as this fight is going you see more creatures from the forest coming to join this fight. It's almost as if they are going to keep coming, never ending as if the entire forest has activated upon you all blades. What do you do

Unknown Speaker  
think we need to book it?

Unknown Speaker  
Well with that very descriptive sentence there.

Timothy (DM)  
You see the glow of green light behind you start to brighten

Unknown Speaker  
behind the brambles. Alright, I am going to use a bonus action to cast Zephyr strike on myself. Oh, I also heal Wendy six because I started with the healing spirit. What

Timothy (DM)  
is the area for the hair healing spirit by the way,

Unknown Speaker  
just the square it's in. Its no anyway. So single target.

Timothy (DM)  
Okay, single target. It's

Unknown Speaker  
every time you pass through. So you technically we could like take turns running.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
That was going to be my plan since I'm the one getting attacked.

Unknown Speaker  
And then with Zephyr strike, I no longer take attacks of opportunity. So I'm just gonna book it straight for the brambles and start hacking away. So I'd like to start

Timothy (DM)  
hacking. Yeah, make your two attack roles on the brambles.

Unknown Speaker  
That was an 11 and 21.

Timothy (DM)  
All right, roll both of those for damage.

Unknown Speaker  
Four plus six is 10 piercing damage,

Timothy (DM)  
right? So you start hacking through these brambles. There's maybe like five feet of Bramble that you have to get through and get through about two.

Unknown Speaker  
That's not bad. Actually. I have what is almost half 40%

Timothy (DM)  
Alright, so really what you're doing

Unknown Speaker  
well, I see I see my brother on the way Oh dear. Looks like he needs a bit of help. So I'm going to cast lightning bolt on the brambles on the bramble Yeah, and just see if I can explode this whole situation.

Timothy (DM)  
They can't make a deck save. So roll for damage.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
nice knife all over again.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, the elements.

Unknown Speaker  
Do I have to make a deck saved em because I'm next to the Rambo.

Timothy (DM)  
Well, it's a line so can be aimed. Oh, oh, all right. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, my God.

Unknown Speaker  
3030. Yes. Any brand. My

Timothy (DM)  
gosh, you blast the brambles. There is like has so much marks on all the brambles get into that tree outside. moking use you see some of it kind of lights up on with a little bit of fire along the edges. But there is a very nice five by five round hole through the branches towards the tree. It did hit the tree a little bit.

Unknown Speaker  
It's fun. It's a strong tree. Okay.

Unknown Speaker  
All right. All right.

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah. Do you book it through there?

Unknown Speaker  
I do. Yeah, yeah, maybe shouting to Yonsei break free. We've gotta go to the true

Timothy (DM)  
book it through the terminal of the brambles. And as you approach the tree, you start to see the surface of the goop on the bark starts to bubble and move great. And then you see a small slit, open up lengthwise, and it begins to spread. Inside, you see warbly arcane energy, pulling you into a tunnel into the tree you feel your body being pulled in make a strength Save

Unknown Speaker  
and then be an eight

Timothy (DM)  
and eight minus you are ripped off of your feet in full long into the trade leaves rallies a rally just like rips into this weird opening that just like to try and get just ripped in off into some unknown thing

Kendrick (Yonce)  
whoa

Timothy (DM)  
little little buddies turn so they are going to make some attacks on the remaining two of Yeah, so let's get the rollin all right all right blades you are going to get whacked for two piercing damage to and I'm gonna get like 87 Yonsei is not gonna get hit by anything. Young face turn you saw Tsereteli blast this hole through the brambles and run through it and you haven't seen or heard from her son. Don't say get to bato

Unknown Speaker  
he'll help you. Who batalla mule the ferry? Dude.

Timothy (DM)  
I guess we've established it has a name. Yeah,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
no one else knew about until now.

Unknown Speaker  
We haven't had time for introduction. So

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm gonna run I'm gonna run chi run through it in the direction of sorrelli Yeah,

Timothy (DM)  
yeah. All right. So

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
I'm gonna do that which means I get one you will take attacks of opportunity. It is what it is.

Unknown Speaker  
What about you and if he uses his action to disengage,

Timothy (DM)  
if you use your action, just engage you won't.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I use my action to disengage and I

Timothy (DM)  
rock the boat to help you

Kendrick (Yonce)  
want to this is for you. I'm going to run I want to disengage when use my action to disengage and then I'm going to run pass Bartholomew to get one D six of health back and that is two. Oh Wha

Timothy (DM)  
Why do we do this to each other?

Unknown Speaker  
Can it now be economical that Bardot just sings in spoken word heavy metal. Oh, whoo hoo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. Get a word. Sickness due to.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Anyways, as soon as I get that as soon as I walk past I jump into the brambles to see what happened.

Timothy (DM)  
All right. So you run you disengage from pasture all this run through the tunnel of brambles passing through the heavy metal. Very well. Spoken. Man, we're

Unknown Speaker  
not doing section blades.

Timothy (DM)  
And you see this whole imagery that's opened up and so rarely is gone. And all you can see is this tunnel of arcane energy and it starts to pull you in. Make a string save.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
What does this proficiency plus three bonus mean?

Unknown Speaker  
You know, proficient and strength ahead. All right, you

Kendrick (Yonce)  
know, it's a negative one. So I got a NINE

Timothy (DM)  
and a NINE. Yep, you are ripped off your feet the moment you step into this space and fall long into the tree. Ah, really glazed. You see, young say get ripped into the whole imagery.

Unknown Speaker  
Totally give me I jump in.

Timothy (DM)  
It's not your turn. Yeah. You gotta take two more attacks. Hopefully you don't die.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm not even close.

Timothy (DM)  
Oh, I rolled off fall. I rolled a one in the three. So no, they did not hit you. So what do you do?

Unknown Speaker  
I kick one and spit on it. And I say bato with me and we run in unison into the the tree slit.

Timothy (DM)  
Usually ran to the trees let me alone. Okay, so you just run in.

Unknown Speaker  
I can hear my thoughts.

Timothy (DM)  
String save.

Unknown Speaker  
Can I just jump in?

Timothy (DM)  
You can Yeah, yeah. You just

Unknown Speaker  
you know I'm still gonna make him save. See how strong I can jump in history.

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah, how dramatically you do it or do you get time? Okay, so you have a full on swan dive in. You have a graceful beautiful dive into the truth let

Unknown Speaker  
and simultaneously Bucha brings me back up to full health

Timothy (DM)  
Oh my gosh, wow. And the three of you are spinning through this tunnel of arcane energy wherever it goes. Nobody knows. Except for me, I know where it goes. And as you are spinning around, you're tumbling through this space. It is making you dizzy, everything is blurring around you. It's this like, glistening black void all outside this tunnel of energy. And then you see a faint light. Every time you're kind of rotating in this tunnel. You keep seeing this faint light each time you come around. I'm thinking quite dizzy, quite dizzy. But you see it growing, growing, growing, growing and you're thrown out into a forest. You look around. The trees are green, a little twisted, but alive. But as you peer past their branches, you see this like, celestial backdrop of like, sorry, not solid fuel cosmic backdrop. It's black with like shimmers of purple and blue and glistening white. And as you look even closer, you notice the ground beneath the trees drops off. And to one end of this opening that you've landed in, you see a wooden walkway. Lee leading off the platform.

Unknown Speaker  
May May I ask what kind of wood? Is it? I'm just kidding. I'm really scared. So I'm trying to defuse the situation.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
But we all land safely.

Timothy (DM)  
You all land safely on your feet. The three of you are here, including Bartholomew Bellamy is here you

Unknown Speaker  
only unfortunately last for about a minute and then he was off to wherever I'm not sure yet. We're getting to know each other very, very slowly.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Before we do anything, I'm going to Cass false life. So I can get this to prepare myself with some temporary points.

Unknown Speaker  
How long were we in the tunnel?

Timothy (DM)  
You know, like in that opening scene of Alice in Wonderland where she's like falling, it was kind of like that. So like a while but not like forever

Unknown Speaker  
Bardo is not with us. We pop out and Bartos gone.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh life has asked what the trees? I don't

Unknown Speaker  
think we're on the material plane anymore, perhaps? No,

Unknown Speaker  
I don't think so.

Unknown Speaker  
To either V recognize any of these constellations Dewey?

Timothy (DM)  
Who has?

Unknown Speaker  
I'd like to make an astronomy rule.

Timothy (DM)  
Well, I will take either a history or an R comma, because one could reasonably assume that our keen studies would involve the study of the cosmos not nature. No, not nature,

Unknown Speaker  
let's postpone the other way. 1919

Timothy (DM)  
you start to look out to them and you're not recognizing them as stars from our night sky. As you insert them closer, they don't quite seem like stars at all. Fuck.

Unknown Speaker  
What do they seem like?

Timothy (DM)  
You're staring up at them?

Unknown Speaker  
Maybe not for too long. Maybe I look away and they

Timothy (DM)  
start to slowly move. Kind of like they're floating in space. But then you notice some of them close and open.

Unknown Speaker  
Are they flora nature? are we inside the tree? Is there a sun or is it dark

Timothy (DM)  
to watch them? And you see the lights go out, back? out back on. And as you adjust your eyes to feel like gymnasts of the light on this plane. You start to realize they're blinking.

Unknown Speaker  
Like eyes,

Timothy (DM)  
exactly like eyes. They continue to just sway and melt Turn around in the space. Okay, there's something up there while watching the distance.

Unknown Speaker  
Shall we walk on the bridge?

Unknown Speaker  
Was this in your vision system?

Unknown Speaker  
Now we're somewhere far beyond my vision now

Unknown Speaker  
spectacular. I think we're inside the tree though.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, you can get his eyeballs on it insights. That's a bit weird. Hello. I mean, I guess we've seen some things

Kendrick (Yonce)  
worse things like a village of cats. I think this would

Unknown Speaker  
I don't remember that. But

Unknown Speaker  
all right. The cats had many eyes too. Yeah, they

Kendrick (Yonce)  
did. Was very weird thing to say. Yonsei just walk starts walking on the Woodbridge desta.

Unknown Speaker  
I walk a safe distance behind.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, I follow. I follow my brother and I'm looking up at the eyes

Unknown Speaker  
are very tempted to shoot narrow on but I'm not.

Timothy (DM)  
They seem very far away. Okay. Okay. Oh, geez. There's not a lot of context to give you perception, like depth perception

Unknown Speaker  
of irises and pupils. Meaning their scale is probably enormous.

Timothy (DM)  
It's hard to tell. The reason you can tell their eyes is because when they close, they go from being round, to kind of teardrop shaped into a slit, and then that opens back up. So has that like, the shape of an eye as it closes?

Unknown Speaker  
Make me very uncomfortable. Yonce Do you see anything up there?

Timothy (DM)  
So Yonce begins to walk across the wooden Boardwalk. Can you give me a wisdom saving throw

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Tom page

Unknown Speaker  
to walk into danger.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Now that's a 24.

Timothy (DM)  
Which is like decayed wood, akin to like a long pier out into a pond. And that's almost what it looks like. As you start to notice the like, cosmic pooling of starlight on almost like a mirror like a film that spread out beneath the pier. Almost like it's water. But something's quite off about it. Your instincts tell you probably shouldn't

Unknown Speaker  
I dive in? I'm kidding.

Unknown Speaker  
Toss something in right. At this point. Did we catch up to Yonsei?

Timothy (DM)  
Do Yeah, I mean, you were encounter bolting off. You were just looking at the the I stars for a little bit.

Unknown Speaker  
It's gonna be my next tattoo and just a bunch of eyes start all over. Sorry, night but eyeballs.

Timothy (DM)  
Ooh, great. Anyway.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Sorry, won't yuck. You're young if you want to get

Unknown Speaker  
back. No, I really sheets important you keep me. Okay.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I am going to what's in my inventory.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
I'm gonna throw. I have a little bag of Sam. Now that's not gonna work. There's also like twigs and shit on the ground next to the pier.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I want to pick up a twig. Thank you for that. Yeah, so he's gonna pick up a twig and throw it right.

Timothy (DM)  
You toss the twig and it's fall falls through the film, and continues to kind of just float on down until it kind of floats out of fate.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
So it'd be wise not to jump in

Timothy (DM)  
one presume that the same would happen to you.

Unknown Speaker  
We all float down. We all float? Well, any ideas?

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Um, can I look around and see if there's any way any other thing around here.

Timothy (DM)  
So as you look to the end of the pier, you see continues on a while before it ends to some wooden crates, floating about the same height as the pier. And on the other end, you see another floating island with a stone building sitting upon it. You look out past that. And you notice more islands of trees and other stone structures off kind of trailing about into the distance.

Unknown Speaker  
Well, but stone buildings probably our best bet. Yeah,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
yes, I agree. So I'm just gonna head in the direction of the stone building.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, it's across the wall. What

Kendrick (Yonce)  
can I get in a crate and then someone just pushed me really hard

Timothy (DM)  
stepping stone distance apart there's like only a couple like a foot or so apart from each other as there's like several crates in a row that lead to the landing on the other side.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, we don't didn't make a raft. No,

Timothy (DM)  
you could just step step on over.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So Yonce is going to step on over and step over all the things to get to the towel stone tower.

Timothy (DM)  
CG so you approach the tower there are stone steps leading up to it. Not a tower building stones depths leading up to it. And wooden doors.

Unknown Speaker  
Doing no cool.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I Leon say just is there a doorknob or anything to open the door into the towers door handle?

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah. Other windows.

Unknown Speaker  
Are there windows,

Unknown Speaker  
no windows.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All right. I'm just going to open the door.

Timothy (DM)  
Alright, you turn the door handle. And it creaks open into a small vestibule.

Unknown Speaker  
I love that word. Sorry.

Timothy (DM)  
But beyond the vestibule you can see side tables covered in food. I'm talking like roasts. I'm talking like piles and piles of sides. Tears of cupcakes. Tons and tons of food.

Unknown Speaker  
Interesting.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm gonna look at blades and surly whatever you do, it probably be best if we don't touch anything. I look particularly at blades

Unknown Speaker  
wow, I know not to eat strange food I find in a cosmic realm inside a tree. Thank you.

Timothy (DM)  
You're welcome. In that moment, you hear the door from around the corner open. You hear footsteps coming towards you? And then you hear a voice? Haha Bonjour. Bonjour. Whoa Welcome welcome. Have a seat have a seat. We're all to eat sounds free.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
That French didn't exist in this world

Timothy (DM)  
what is a man wearing a white outfit, pants and a jacket. He has a white scarf tied around his neck and is wearing a tall poofy white hat. You see he has a full gingery beard and a long curled mustache or moose Stosh

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm still getting used to the fact that French is obviously something we speak in this world. But when I said c'est la vie. A bitch was talking in tongues.

Unknown Speaker  
Bone jaw, I believe. Hi, yes.

Timothy (DM)  
Come on. Sit down.

Unknown Speaker  
Who are you and why

Kendrick (Yonce)  
are you rates father?

Timothy (DM)  
What? What? Do you have a seat?

Unknown Speaker  
We have some questions first we we did just let ourselves into your home or whatever but it's fine. Who are you? Where are we? And why? Why are we sitting

Timothy (DM)  
where I am this year? I am cooking for you all so you can eat

Unknown Speaker  
maybe late so we're not really hungry right now.

Timothy (DM)  
Do you not like the food looks lovely.

Unknown Speaker  
We just ate though and we're all watching our fingers.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I shush blades. Guy, whoever you are, where are we?

Timothy (DM)  
Where are you are in my home.

Unknown Speaker  
But where is your home?

Timothy (DM)  
It is where it is

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Yonsei takes a deep

Unknown Speaker  
breath Yonce if you can do

Timothy (DM)  
it. I will handle all of your needs. Do not have to worry about a thing.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Why is your house in a tree? It is

Timothy (DM)  
nothing no such case. Don't worry about that said I have been cooking for days for your rival

Unknown Speaker  
Tsereteli as blades and Yonsei are speaking to this chef Sally has been just looking around to see what might be a mess and so I'd like to do an Arcana check and see doing Arcana check and Harrah's

Timothy (DM)  
I'll also explain what else you see in this room. So as he's kind of slowly been coaxing you in into this space. You see a long dining table, just again covered in food, just like trees of cupcakes and chocolates and sweets. We've got a turkey we've got a roast beef, we've got ham, we've got fruits and vegetables and salads and breads, and all sorts of cheeses, like a whole freakin sugar coterie portion of the table. All just like gore flowing in just like this beautiful light that's being cast over it. You can see the like, the torch light is just like glistening off the ham. And like, ah, it all just looks so freakin good. This is giving me patterns. Was your Arcana check?

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, that's

Unknown Speaker  
gonna be a 21

Timothy (DM)  
All right. Well, this whole freaking place is magical. It is like, oh my gosh, the entire fucking expanse lights up. Like, it's almost blinding how much arcane energy is in this area? To the point where like, yeah, that's the students fucking magical. He's fucking magical. This building's magical. The Crown's magical. The trees are magical. Even just like the space is magical. And like, What the hell is all of this?

Unknown Speaker  
You tell them? Can I tell what the intent behind this magic is?

Timothy (DM)  
It is. Chaos. There's so much energy in conflict here.

Unknown Speaker  
Interesting. Well, certainly not gonna eat the food.

Timothy (DM)  
I insist. Please, sit. Seat. Enjoy yourself. It is so delicious. I have been working so long to perfect this. I do insist. You want to get that?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
And we insist that we don't. And you tell us what's going on here. I do not know what you mean. Stop lying to us. Yatta is getting very upset now.

Timothy (DM)  
One cannot lie. If there is nothing to lie about.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I pull out my dagger.

Timothy (DM)  
I do not know what you are doing. Dude, you like some cheese? I will bring you over cheese. And he runs on over grabs a tray of cheese and brings it over to you. Is this not what you want your knife for?

Unknown Speaker  
Yes, it's a cheese dagger.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I stabbed one of the blocks of cheese and I throw it I eat it.

Timothy (DM)  
Well, that wasn't very nice.

Unknown Speaker  
Maybe we have to be more specific with our questions. Are we still on the material plane? What existence of reality is this?

Timothy (DM)  
I haven't the place. Why this understanding of what you're saying?

Unknown Speaker  
I'm pretty sure you're lying considering

Timothy (DM)  
Do you wanna give me an insight? Turn. You're not quite sure where the heck this is going. They don't seem to be lying. But they also don't seem to be responding to anything that you're asking them. That's all very confusing.

Unknown Speaker  
Maybe we just leave and check the other islands. Other other rooms

Timothy (DM)  
was nice see a door on the other hand of the room

Unknown Speaker  
and walk over and kick it open.

Timothy (DM)  
I can't let you do that. Stop me. I everybody.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Fuck. Pitch as we're going to do this 1513 Nine

Timothy (DM)  
as blades goes across the room passing the table of food. You notice a red cord running along the floor underneath the table or underneath the rug like an extension and as or like a row as kind of like an extension. As you kick. Open the door. Filling the entire space in front of you a red Uzi blob lashes out.

Unknown Speaker  
No, I know what this is.

Unknown Speaker  
Do you want to inform the rest of us?

Unknown Speaker  
We should probably run. Hey, there's

Timothy (DM)  
nowhere else to go.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, it's boss battle time.

Timothy (DM)  
It lashes out at you it hits you with one of its SUTA pods. You are going to Take 10 bludgeoning damage. And eight psychic.

Unknown Speaker

Timothy (DM)  
All right. It subsides quickly. Yonce What are you doing?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Is a purse? Is this chef still there?

Timothy (DM)  
For you, you've you look at the chef's who all their corners have gone soft. The only way I can explain it Oh, okay. And you start to notice the white of their outfit has started turning pink is they're just kind of becoming blobby.

Kendrick (Yonce)

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I knew it was a trap. We gotta get the fuck out of here.

Timothy (DM)  
Sally, what are you doing?

Unknown Speaker  
Well, is this room escapable? Could we leave through the same door that we came through?

Timothy (DM)  
You could but you remember that when you were dropped off on this plane? Really was only one direction to go off that original platform was towards this house.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, then we fight we fight our way out of here and then maybe maybe get to enjoy this food at some point.

Unknown Speaker  
Ever feel like they're all Beloved.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm gonna cast ray of sickness on the blob. All right. Oh, yeah. All right. Can the blob give me a?

Timothy (DM)  
And it it's currently dripping off all of the things in the room. You have Fred goop stuck in your hair all over your body. It's great.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm gonna walk up to Sally and be like, Dinner's served. Thank you. But after that, I'm going to cast a false light. Or we had a combat

Timothy (DM)  
yes, you're out of combat, and you cast false life on yourself.

Unknown Speaker  
I cast prestidigitation and

Timothy (DM)  
we get our potations coughs

Unknown Speaker  
up blood in the corner of the room as you typically

Kendrick (Yonce)  
hear something?

Unknown Speaker  
Oh,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm kidding. Yonce runs over to blades. You stick with me. Okay.

Unknown Speaker  
I hope you know medicine is healing I have a I have a

Kendrick (Yonce)  
medicine or maybe a post healing motion now because I didn't think about that

Unknown Speaker  
person. For me.

Unknown Speaker  
They have an herbalist,

Unknown Speaker  
stabilize me and hope for the best. All right,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
so I will run Ira over two blades and I'm going to help try to stabilize them. So can I roll a Medicine check? Yeah.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
That's going to be a 1313.

Timothy (DM)  
So a successful Medicine check, which I believe is just a DC term. We're just gonna say at the DC time because I don't feel like figuring out exactly how to run that. Right now. You are able to stabilize them. Blades is still unconscious, but stable.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I guess we need to take a rest here until they become conscious again.

Unknown Speaker  
Sir, Ellie's gonna go over to the door. Close it. Well, maybe peek outside and just make sure there's nothing lurking. And then close it so that we can have a little rest.

Timothy (DM)  
All right. You close the door. And you go back to blades. And young thing. Y'all are going to try to have a rest.

Unknown Speaker  
We're gonna have to take along.

Unknown Speaker  
I think I did notice the word try. Phrasing.

Timothy (DM)  
I always put that. Just gotta keep you on your toes.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Yeah, let's just take a long rest.

Unknown Speaker  
Maybe we blockade the door with the buffet table.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
As you do that, I can sleep all the gunk, the red stuff as much as I can out the front door to so it doesn't reconstitute itself. Okay. I don't like that face you made.

Timothy (DM)  
Sorry. Either explain the face that I just made? Or

Kendrick (Yonce)  
there was a face of I'm gonna get Yeah. Well, one way yeah. I'm gonna

Timothy (DM)  
say yeah, you scoop up the red scoop. Throw it out the front door scoop do we close the back door? The front door. You barricade both doors. All of the beautiful food just smashing to the ground. was real. Yeah, this is real. Oh, all right, at least it hasn't gone away. Real in the sense that it still continues to exist and persist. It was not part of the appliques. And you all sit as we tried to get blades back up and conscious. And you're sitting around for about an hour. She gets short rest and have a

Unknown Speaker  
short rest effect. Stabilize but I don't actually know. Do I get to roll his dice?

Timothy (DM)  
I think you do. Really hard. It's hard to die. They really made it system where they're like nah y'all are heroes. You never die unless

Unknown Speaker  
your characters dead and restore life with full HP are automatically plot healing with dice result.

Timothy (DM)  
What is that your character is dead? The end BM is just like nah blades is done so I get to roll to wait yeah you all get to take a short rest by this point when Yonsei used her to notice the front door dirty to fade

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
NO NO NO NO NO I run up to the door and I see if I can catch up to it before it all fades away. Oh my God. Let me take i want to i NO NO NO NO as Yonce gets

Kendrick (Yonce)  
up and runs to the Fading Door.

Timothy (DM)  
Okay, you run over to the door and you see that it is partly transparent.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Can I still open it

Timothy (DM)  
you grab the handle and you feel it's there you like place your hand on it and you start to turn it and then it kind of just slips through your fingers like sand

Unknown Speaker  
slowly we're stuck

Unknown Speaker  
I don't know Tsereteli goes over to the door as well to get a closer look at the disappearing nature of our surroundings.

Timothy (DM)  
So you look through the door What d4 And you notice that the steps have also mostly disappeared. You look out beyond the steps and the island that you came from is gone.

Unknown Speaker  
This isn't good

Unknown Speaker  
you know what all is also not good mean googling rules. Turns out if there's no healing involved I have regained consciousness in one D four days. So I'm gonna roll D four to one Hey live

Timothy (DM)  
so sorry about that laugh

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I mean, I guess we're taking a long break regardless

Unknown Speaker  
I mean someone could heal me before then but none of us have okay I will wake and then 24 hours I will wake up with one HP unless I'm healed.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
so we have to take we can take a long break and then

Unknown Speaker  
I'm just there unconscious you're going to drag me

Timothy (DM)  
alright right so this island is gone the steps are slowly fading as is the door to the front of the building you can look to the walls on either side of the exterior the door and you notice they're fading as well.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So the whole house is fading it appears so we have to grab blades and while we might as well just figure out what happens to the house exactly know where we can go

Timothy (DM)  
back door that you tried to go through before running into the objects we know that well blade saw that there was a path that continued

Kendrick (Yonce)  
so okay, I'll grab I will grab blades you good we can head out through the back door okay.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah him being carried about to people eight string

Kendrick (Yonce)  
way before you that since we did get an hour and I'm gonna get my short rest and get

Timothy (DM)  
get your short rest and you get your Warlock spells slots back in your short rest is not the same verb sorcerer,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
okay, that was okay. Sorry buddy.

Unknown Speaker  
So really reaches down and grabs three cupcakes and puts them in her bag for later.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All right. No.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Have you not seen Pan's Labyrinth?

Timothy (DM)  
You pick up these cupcakes you put them in your bag? Do I notice this Yonce is in the process of picking up blades and does not see anything.

Unknown Speaker  
I want to hit it out your hand

Timothy (DM)  
here is around the corner and cannot see you with minus eight. All right, so you pick up blades.

Unknown Speaker  
How are you carrying me? Like, like, you know, cutting me in your arms like wedding style dragging me along behind you.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
How heavy are you?

Unknown Speaker  
A pretty heavy like high one hundreds low to hundreds.

Unknown Speaker  
is not too bad. I can pick you up.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, aren't you like 411

Kendrick (Yonce)  
No, I am now 510

We made a mistake in the first season here. Thank you. Doesn't matter. I pick you up anyways. I pick up blades and then I head in the direction Have Tsereteli

Unknown Speaker  
and we make our way towards what that really is back toward

Timothy (DM)  
into the room. Do you wanna go out the back door? Yeah, okay certainly was not in the back. Oh, where were you in the dining room picking up cupcakes?

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
I told her to go to the back door.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh yeah after the cupcakes

Timothy (DM)  
yeah I just blades is at the back door.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Oh come on. Come here sir. Rally

Timothy (DM)  
clap the doorway.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Come on, sir. Rally. Let's go coming coming. Can you open the door? Oh, sure. Yes.

Unknown Speaker  
Thanks for caring my brother.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
No problem. It's kind of like I thought

Timothy (DM)  
you push up in the door. And you see a pathway of this island platform leading up to some stone steps. You see stone arches framing this pathway and at the top, you see curtains that are framing another platform up at the top of the steps you smell. Lavender, sandalwood, vanilla.

Unknown Speaker  
Like a spa back here musk.

Unknown Speaker  
Take off one of my

Timothy (DM)  
flickering on the velvet. Blue curtains.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Wow. That's Are we even rents sex show?

Unknown Speaker  
Velvet, hot blocks downstairs.

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
So I guess we're just gonna hit indirection. Yeah, and once we can deal with that, if the whole house is fading away,

Unknown Speaker  
yeah, generally, if I smell lavender, I, I trust it. So. So we go up the stairs towards the curtain.

Timothy (DM)  
Alright, you make your way up the steps, dragging blades along, carrying carrying blades up the steps. With some labor, you reach the top of the steps. And you can peek in through the curtains. You see several low sofas covered in pillows. A bed at the far end of the room covered in silks sheets. There are several bits of furniture scattered around the perimeter of this space with incense burning some candles and lots of bottles of wine perhaps?

Unknown Speaker  
Or is it blued

Timothy (DM)  
you don't see anyone in the room.

Unknown Speaker  
This is quite strange.

Timothy (DM)  
And there also aren't walls just like curtains that are kind of just like partitioning off this space.

Unknown Speaker  
I don't know what to do. I mean the couches do look rather comfy for a longer rest qinzhou We just got here I unsure if this is an okay place to rest.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm going to drop blades onto one of the couches in this set. We'll just have to make do for now. Maybe take another short break.

Unknown Speaker  
Yep.

Timothy (DM)  
All right. Hopefully a longer another short break or a shorter way. Are we closing eyes on here?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I you know how much health for you.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm I'm almost at full health. So I'm I'm doing pretty well.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Alright, so. So how about you take first watch and after eight hours you wake me up and we can.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay. Happy to I'll take first watch.

Unknown Speaker  
All right. So I close

Unknown Speaker  
my eyes.

Timothy (DM)  
So Yonce Bey is going to attempt a long rest. Well, sir, really watches over the two of

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
Yeah, seems like it's the only thing I can really do.

Timothy (DM)  
All right. So Yonce kind of gets himself comfortable. curls up and do one of these very comfortable couches

Kendrick (Yonce)  
way. Now that you say that. That seems like it's a trap. I'm gonna lay on the floor.

Timothy (DM)  
Okay, so

Unknown Speaker  
like you're thinking,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm gonna push onto the floor

Timothy (DM)  
paranoia on this part. Oh, me Never mind. Okay, so you don't sleep on the nice, comfortable, wonderful couch that I gave you. You sleep on the hardwood floor, our sleeping mat. That'll be fine. You pull out your sleeping mat, and you sleep on that. So as John say He slips into slumber strelley You are watching over them. And you don't have much else to do except look around the room

Unknown Speaker  
what might I notice?

Timothy (DM)  
So you notice that the sheets in the bed are kind of tousled about oh, it's an unmade bed that many of the candles have been burning for a while so the the wax has been dripping on to the furniture that they sit on. The smell of the incense is filling the air. And you notice on a nightstand in the corner of the room. The torch light glistens off of several potion shaped bottles. Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
I go over to the potion bottles to inspect them further. Maybe there's something that can kill my brother.

Timothy (DM)  
You made them up and you start to inspect them. They are filled with red liquid

there are three each filled with a red liquid with a label on them. That says supreme healing and they're sealed with the red wax, a golden ribbon and gold gilded embellishments a whole over the bottle. Wow.

Unknown Speaker  
Fancy potions.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean supreme healing potions are wicked expensive, right? Wicked.

Unknown Speaker  
I've never been in the presence of such an expensive item

Unknown Speaker  
ever hears of D&D I have never seen one. There's a first for everything.

Unknown Speaker  
Wow. Well, I take the three potions.

Timothy (DM)  
Okay, you pick them up? I pick them up. They lift into your hands.

Unknown Speaker  
Where'd I inspect the bottles a bit further?

Timothy (DM)  
Give me what kind of checks Do you have? Do you have like a in herbalism or potion making or any of that or you can do in our coma? Or an investigation. Different information will come out based on the type of skill that you are using. That's kind of how I run a lot of my checks is that it's up to the player to decide how they interact with their world and investigate their world. But they'll learn different things based on the role they get as well as what skill they're using

Unknown Speaker  
Monzo and Arcana check. Hmm All right. It's gonna be a 19

Timothy (DM)  
All right, with an 18 You can tell that these are indeed magical not only magical, but this is abjuration Magic, which is protection spells healing shield stuff like that is all abjuration

What's it called again? You said supreme?

Timothy (DM)  
Well, well, well, did you all have a nice rest? Me? Yes. Who's asking? Over behind one of the curtains. You see? Nothing hiding by the good. Pushing through the curtains. You see a figure walk into the room. His sepia skin tone is a stark contrast to the definition of the dark to find uniformly trimmed stubble and a meticulous fade. His deep brown eyes lock with your Cirelli. Oh, as a gentle smile initiates the rise of his left eyebrow. He stands tall, with his chest slightly puffed, lengthening his stature as if to state Lee present the embellishments of his embroidered overcoat

Unknown Speaker  
or darling trying waiting for a hat. He makes

Timothy (DM)  
his way across the room and holds out a gloved hand towards you.

Unknown Speaker  
So really quite enamored. By this. I mean one sucker for great brows. But I mean, this is this is really my my dream person. So I reach I take I take their hand

Timothy (DM)  
on Shantay Muda. And who might this beautiful flower be

Kendrick (Yonce)  
more speaking in tongues?

Unknown Speaker  
cervelli Tsereteli chambers, how do you do

Timothy (DM)  
the rally? It is Victor. It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. Oh, believe me?

Unknown Speaker  
Can I do that? I look for Redcord tickets feet.

Timothy (DM)  
You can look for a red cord. Last time we heard that demonic language it was a drop me in Investigation check.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All right. All right. All right. All right. That's gonna be a 23

Timothy (DM)  
to 23. So you quickly survey the room looking for a red cord. And you follow the kind of rim of the carpet. You look underneath all the furniture. Typically, like your eyes darting all over,

Unknown Speaker  
you're not hiding it at all.

Timothy (DM)  
And you don't find anything.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Hmm. Interesting. So I touched the couch and I sit on it. I could have slept on this

Timothy (DM)  
so really my idea Would you care for a drink?

Unknown Speaker  
How do you know her name? Yeah,

Timothy (DM)  
just introduced herself. Oh, yeah. Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
wow. Why we both were we had nothing because we were just like it too beautiful to be trusted.

Unknown Speaker  
What what do you have Victor?

Timothy (DM)  
You hear another voice in the corner of the room? He looked over and played? No. You see, you're

Unknown Speaker  
asked this question.

Timothy (DM)  
You see a man leaning back in a chair. His steely gray skin ripples over the muscles chiseled into his forearm who will be little to the imagination. Oh, back into a satin upholstered chair. A worn that leather eyepatch stretches across his square face from a scar on his left cheek. Twisted horns protruding from the front of his forehead. He he strokes a scraggly beard, with a broad hand of sizable fingers. A twisted smile. I gotta get through this. Gotta get through this under a twisted smile, and a cocked head. Oh well hello there handsome. Hi. Cat got your tongue.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, something's about to

Unknown Speaker  
what's going on?

Timothy (DM)  
Victor burns, GL Yonsei and starts to walk towards you. What? not to your liking, and he places a hand on your cheek. And as he does his form begins to change. Hey, little curls of dark brown hair. He tussles his hair from his face and looks at you with deep brown eyes and a smile which brightens the whole of his face.

Unknown Speaker  
Water we also think so fucking

Timothy (DM)  
spin to the side to flaunt his pear shaped curves as his fingers trail along the dark stubble at the edge of his jaw. And He winks the light of the candles glints off the sheer fabric of his shirt, and highlights the rosiness of his fair skin as he begins to circle you. Hi.

Unknown Speaker  
Why don't we have game?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
How did you change? How did you change your figure like that?

Timothy (DM)  
I can be whatever you want.

Unknown Speaker  
We should shouldn't think about this too hard. Can I walk over to the mine in the corner? You can. And I want to caress his cheek and say Is this seat taken?

Timothy (DM)  
And he grabs your wrist and pulls you closer to him. Oh.

Unknown Speaker  
I let it happen.

Timothy (DM)  
Without a word. He grabs you with both of his arms and pulls you in towards him going in for an embrace. Oh, he cradles you in his arms. And he begins to draw his face towards yours so really, what are you doing?

Unknown Speaker  
Well, Victor has just transformed before my eyes. So I'm this spell bounded state that I had been in has sort of faded, he must

Kendrick (Midnight Dunreath)  
have had the same answer.

Unknown Speaker  
So I think we're seeing what's happening. I'm like, oh, okay, my brother's over there. I reached I reached for a bottle of wine.

Timothy (DM)  
There's wine bottles everywhere. Yes, the glasses are

Unknown Speaker  
cone that I can just Amelie Yank in between me.

Timothy (DM)  
There are there actually are beautiful. Like just there's curtains lining the room. But then there's also like curtains that are kind of sectioning off the couch area in the bed area. Like there's always just like a little partition available wherever you are.

Unknown Speaker  
All right. Well, I grabbed the nearest wine bottle. I skip the glass. I open it. And I close the curtain. And

Unknown Speaker  
I'm the Bastion Vinzenz

Unknown Speaker  
blades let me know if you need anything. Be careful. Be careful in there.

Unknown Speaker  
Don't wait. I won't. Yes.

Timothy (DM)  
What is Yonce doing?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I am I mean they are touching me right now.

Timothy (DM)  
Oh yeah. They're kind of just like taking their hands and like trailing it along your arm and then the broad of your back and then down your other arm as they circle you.

Unknown Speaker  
What? What is this?

Timothy (DM)  
What do you want it to be? The truth? What is truth? Am I not to your liking? Is there someone else you'd like me to be And again, they take their hand, they brush it down your chest and be turned into blades. As they do this transformation, they look at their body, and then they just go, Well, this is awkward.

Unknown Speaker  
See this because I drew the curtain

Kendrick (Yonce)  
transformed back quick now I'm blushing but

Unknown Speaker  
certainly deep swig

Timothy (DM)  
if you wish, and again, they transform, this time into a new person. His wide grin flashes perfectly white teeth in the light of the room. Oh my gosh. As the laugh lines deepen on their warm brown skin and their cheeks

Unknown Speaker  
lift. You're describing him to eight his

Timothy (DM)  
tightly coiled dark brown hairs sprinkled with gray flex aids in beard. The gray even more prominent, they lean forward with their hands behind their back, their broad chest, boasting their muscular form. They bite their lip and lean a little closer. Blades. Can you make a wisdom saving throw?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
No. So just to be clear blades did not see a secret crush on blade.

Timothy (DM)  
That's the insult at all a 12 Yeah, you are magically termed for one day perfect. You must obey verbal or telepathic command I was going to anyway. As long as it does not do direct harm to yourself.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Indirect harm is a different story.

Unknown Speaker  
But direct harm to others is fine.

Timothy (DM)  
It if the target suffers any harm, you can repeat that saving throw. So if anybody hurts you, you could become unarmed. I'm also going to need Yonsei to make a wisdom saving throw please

Kendrick (Yonce)  
that's going to be a 22

Timothy (DM)  
a 22 so as he leans in, you feel a whisper at the back of your head coaxing you closer and you start to realize that he is trying to charm you

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I could have rolled again I have advantage against being charmed

Timothy (DM)  
well you save just so you know that he's being he's trying to charm you it does not work.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I Yonsei then after realizing this pushes Victor away see I know I know that what I want is the truth and I know this is not it. Who are you? The real you

Timothy (DM)  
This is me Don't you know me? I'm the one of your dreams and when you've always wanted

Kendrick (Yonce)

Timothy (DM)  
I am as real as I am standing before you what is unreal of that? So what I create a little fantasy here in there don't we all deserve a fantasy?

Kendrick (Yonce)
