Welcome to Shadows of Prophecy, a D&D real play podcast filling the illumined web of lives whispered by the void. Their names repeated in the darkness.

Timothy (DM)  
Alright, And I'm still dying from Salvador. Last time on Shadows of Prophecy, we arrived at the sublime Odium to find out That Horus the star of the show is missing. After some experts sleuthing. They made their way to Horus as a state under the pretense of staff, And Maybe some questionable spells. When they arrived, they uncovered a horrendous silence apparation And something grasping horse's face. After some uncomfortable conversation, the party decided to put all of That behind them, And instead go out for a drink less fiance, Which has resulted in some light flirting, And a card game. So we left off with Salvador, still in the bar, Ren And Upri waiting outside is here, is about to go on break And has invited Salvador for a game of cards. You follow him to the backroom where several of his friends are already playing. Seems This is something That they do frequently. That when one of them is working, That they will play cards And on breaks, they will be joined by the employee. You play several rounds of cards laugh, have a wonderful time And slowly realize That za here is really truly flirting with you, Salvador And invites you back to his place.

Chris (Sal S)  
And I oblige.

Unknown Speaker  
So gentlemen, mark a few.

Timothy (DM)  
All Right, we've been waiting for two seasons for This. So after break is over, he asks one of his friends to fill in for him And takes you out the front door. Where you run into Upri And Wren. How's it going? good.

Unknown Speaker  
How about you Heiser here? Oh, hi.

Chris (Sal S)

Unknown Speaker  
I was not expecting That.

Unknown Speaker  
So What is the house of Hanky Panky?

Speaker 2  
I guess it is? Well, I Don't know. I Don't think so. I was paying for it. I Don't think so. I would pay for it. Maybe It's I would pay for it. What you have to pay for in some houses of Hanky Panky. Yeah. I mean, I run an establishment of a sort. I wouldn't necessarily call it a house of Hanky Panky. But people do pay for you know, company. Wait, you own a business? Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Shit. How old are you? 30 Oh, Fuck how old am I? I actually Don't remember.

Unknown Speaker  
Honestly, around This time. MH Maybe you'll use similarly younger. Yeah, you

Unknown Speaker  
kind of seem like an old man. So Oh, thanks.

Speaker 2  
It's a good thing. Yeah, Okay, let's go with That. Oh, I I've been meaning to ask you a question. You were going to kill That guard. Right? Which one That you took out his legs? I got his neck. Yeah, it was named whispers had not missed. Oh, Okay, That's What I figured. What I thought And we Don't have to tell other people But between you And me It's Okay. All Right. We're on the same page. I guess we go back to the house. Did you did you

Speaker 1  
get so you make your way back to horses to state one guard less This time? Hey. They nod And open the gate for you.

Unknown Speaker  
Thank you avoid

Timothy (DM)  
they Don't have a name nor much of a personality. They're a guard And you make your way into the house. It's fairly quiet. As you enter.

Speaker 2  
I'm gonna collect a few bottles of wine And I'll meet you in the smoking room.

Speaker 4  
Yeah, sounds good to me. All Right.

Speaker 2  
I'll go to the kitchen. Grab a few bottles of like the nicest Looking wine That's there. And then I'm gonna go upstairs to Yonsei or the room one of the rooms That we have for us. See if I Can find Yonsei

Speaker 1  
Yeah, one of the rooms door is closed And the other is a jar And you do not see anybody sleeping in the bed. Okay,

Unknown Speaker  
I'm going to Knock on the closed door

Speaker 2  
Hey, It's It's It's Ren. I'm gonna crack the door open assuming It's unlocked. Is it unlocked?

Unknown Speaker  
No. I'm

Speaker 2

Speaker 5  
up here. Yonsei kind of get up. And then when you hear the door And lock, What time is it? It's like we've been gone for like 30 minutes. I Just honestly, I fell straight to sleep. I'm so tired.

Speaker 2  
Oh, yeah, I understand it, you know, no pressure to join us. But I've got a really good bottle of frosty berry wine. It's local from where I'm from. I found it in the cupboards. That's a whole thing where they let the berries grow until the first frost And then they harvest them And it gives it a really kind of sweet But like, pungent taste to it. It's like really good. So if you want to join us, we'll be down in the smoking

Speaker 5  
room. Where itself home to Sal

Unknown Speaker  
is busy. He went home with a bartender. Oh, Okay.

Speaker 5  
I will. I will be Right down. Alright, I, as I'm assuming rent to walking away. Yeah. And we'd be like in Wren. Do people ever tell you You talk too much? Yes. All the time. All Right. Well, This is your daily reminder. You talk too damn much. I'll take That. I put on a robe That I have stolen, I guess from from what's his face again. Horace Horace. And I walked down the staircase into the smoke room.

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah. So you make your way down into the smoking room, where Upri And Wren are already imbibing on some of the wine.

Speaker 2  
I like to think we're tossing a bottle of wine back And forth to like juggle or like trying to juggle we're getting a little drunk. That's a lot of dexterity.

Unknown Speaker  
Why would we have my own bottle of wine?

Unknown Speaker  
Fine. I'm juggling bottles of

Unknown Speaker  
Tara. Nicely done. I

Speaker 2  
learned That is an early parlor trick That I learned when I was a bartender first getting started in the city.

Speaker 4  
Is That the establishment yo, no, no, no.

Unknown Speaker  
I took a while to establish That place. But

Speaker 5  
you know, I had to make a living in the meantime. you own an establishment? Yeah. And

Unknown Speaker  
so NASA you Jonah,

Unknown Speaker  
I toss you a bottle of wine.

Speaker 5  
I grab it. And I set it down at the narrows table. I'm Don't think I'm going to be drinking. Thank you very much.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, I've got a I've got a non alcoholic.

Speaker 5  
I'm loose. I'm good. Thank you. All Right. What are y'all talking about?

Speaker 4  
Well, I'm Just trying to get to know ran a little bit more considering we Just jumped him into hell a few days ago. I Don't know. Feels like we've known him awhile. Yeah.

Speaker 5  
I look back at Rand And I look at Upri But we haven't known them a while. We've only known them for three days.

Unknown Speaker  
Right? But it feels like

Speaker 2  
more or less Shit we've been through in those rates. A very natural to be around each other

Speaker 5  
very, like 36 hours. So three days to actually 70 to 72 hour days

Unknown Speaker  
Can I tell you to be careful around This one?

Unknown Speaker  
We Just Bob Yan is fan. He killed

Unknown Speaker  
the guard upstairs.

Speaker 4  
He did. And you helped. I was breaking them legs. like give you a knowing look. I look at the floor.

Speaker 5  
I'm sorry, I Just What is your endgame here rent like, first, we come here to This, And I'm following Upri Because I Love her. But What are you getting out of This? Why?

Speaker 2  
Why? Why am I here? I mean, like, I mean, Upri put it best last we spoke. I Don't know Exactly why we're here. But we're here to save somebody do something. This is bigger than us. And I Don't know. Well, That's

Speaker 5  
really reassuring. We're they're here to do something for someone for something. That's very, very reassuring. Upri

Speaker 4  
now Yeah, I think at This point, we both know Sal is the brains of the operation.

Speaker 5  
Fiance Just stares at Upri This isn't a laughing matter. We've almost gotten killed a handful of times. You've almost killed me. And we still aren't any closer to figuring out why we're here.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, we're Looking for That guy,

Speaker 2  
Right? Something bad is gonna happen unless we help stop it. So as far as I understand,

Speaker 5  
for something bad has already happened. We've gotten attacked multiple times. We've almost died multiple times. And we're nowhere closer to finding That someone for That something That you've mentioned.

Speaker 2  
We are a little closer. Yeah, because we've got a we've got a we've got an appointment set up with Vladlan. Tomorrow as far as I understand. But more bad than That, like, cataclysmic world changing bad.

Speaker 5  
The funny thing is like, meeting Horus was supposed to solve something, But it Just leads us to another person And is This person going to actually solve it? I'm Just I'm not getting it. This whole day has This reminded me That I am not cut out for the Shit anymore. Upri Why are we still here? Where see, we Don't have a choice. No matter Yan. But there's always a choice there is there's always free will to keep talking about other bad things. Everything That has happened since being here has been bad.

Speaker 4  
I mean, you came And got me in the void Dion, you saw how fucked up That Shit is That's gonna bleed over into This world And then Nothing it'll Just be there.

Speaker 5  
Well, if It's already going to be That when you rather spend time with your family before it happens. Wouldn't you rather have a family to go back to if we stop it? This has Nothing to do with you ran pet does I'm here.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, those are both very valid arguments.

Speaker 5  
Are you serious? Upri You're taking This dude side over mine.

Speaker 6  
We all yawn I think I am.

Speaker 2  
We all have family to go back to. We're all sacrificing something to be here.

Speaker 5  
No, from What I've seen, I've sacrificed the most being here. How so I lost my sister for five years check. I lost someone That I could have fell in Love with getting Upri Check. I'm in a city That I Don't know. I haven't seen my family in years. And now I'm supposed to be here dealing with This Shit getting killed by eyeballs And tentacles. I Just want to be with my family. I Don't give a Shit. If the world ends, all I care about is my family. It seems like Upri has forgotten That they have a family to go to. It

Speaker 2  
must be Nice to have a family That's still alive. to have people That you didn't have to build those relationships with as an adult. So I understand That you miss people in your life. But you also have to understand That if we Don't do What we need to do, there's a possibility That all of those people will be dead.

Speaker 5  
But why do we have to be here for it? You've met them. You've done What you needed to do. We are done.

Speaker 4  
We're not done young. We Don't even we Don't even know What we're supposed to do yet. Which I understand is your argument. But there there's so much more at play than Just us than Just us in our lives. And I know That sounds fucked up But It's kind of true. If we Don't do something could be the end of everything. not Just our families But others. Doesn't That make you want to do something about it?

Speaker 5  
I'm not stupid. Yes, I want to do something about it. Don't I Just What if I lose you again. I've already lost you once. I cannot do That, again, you know how painful it was to lose you for those five years searching And searching And searching, And then you hear you come here out of the blue. You told me That we have to go somewhere. And now we're in This weird city with people we Don't know. And That I Don't honestly trust. How Can I keep going on This? This notion of an idea, This notion of we have to find something or someone something's not making sense, make it make sense.

Speaker 4  
I'm gonna really Can. Other than That, I Just know That This is where we're supposed to be. And That really Nice lady told me kind of hoping she'd show her head soon. So you know, confirm That actually saw her And stuff. I mean, we were there. I

Speaker 2  
think That's evidence enough. You were Looking for us? Yeah. And there's no way you would have known That we were there unless somebody told you

Speaker 4  
fairpoint at Dunbar at Validating my insecurity she had I lost my train of thought This was kicking in.

Unknown Speaker  
I take another big swing.

Speaker 4  
My point is Yan. If we Don't save the world, none of This matters. It might not matter anyway. I Don't know. I'm here whether I want to be or not. Might as Well enjoy it. And You're Right. I could die. We could all die tomorrow. Six months from now. That Just means we should appreciate the time we have now in the present. You're wasting the time we have together frightened about What might happen. What could happen What could go wrong? let's not Wait to live

Speaker 5  
Yonsei stares at Upri kind of completely ignoring. That's Fine, Right? I

Speaker 2  
am relaxing in a lounger. While I'm watching This go down.

Speaker 4  
I guess all masks And pores And face. Which is really What This is. It's there's powers at play above our understanding. And I Just have to believe That things will work out.

Unknown Speaker  
Fine. What if it doesn't?

Speaker 4  
We'll Shit. Least I fucking enjoy myself on the downward spiral into hell. I Don't know. Wouldn't you rather go out laughing at the end of the world. Even try out some going down swinging. Having a good time. Getting to meet some new people with some interesting backstories And decision making skills.

Unknown Speaker  
I Just want to be with our family.

Speaker 4  
Well, honestly on. That's Okay. You Don't have to stay here with me. You are a powerhouse being an eldritch blast machine. But ultimately, if you really Don't think we're gonna succeed here And want to spend, I Don't know the next six months at home with him And the others. I won't blame you. But I I won't go back And abandon something That could go wrong. I'm not going to give up. I'm not one to turn tail And run.

Speaker 5  
to Nowhere You're asking me to do? You're asking me to trust people? I Don't know.

Unknown Speaker  
Well, you could try getting to know

Speaker 5  
listen, I Just Don't want to lose you. not having you for those five years were the worst five years of my life And I've been through a lot of Shit. Upri Yes, I want to save the world too. I think everyone does. The world is a shitty place. But I Don't want to save the world if it means sacrificing my sister. And I can't Just leave you here.

Unknown Speaker  
Alright, Well then stay here. Make Sure I Don't do some stupid

Speaker 5  
Upri I Just I Don't know anymore. I Just they have not shown us anything. That brings us one step closer.

Speaker 4  
I mean, I disagree. We're Looking for That guy. There's all those weird symbols And old, old cold Saturday things. That seems awesome. Give it another week. How would This I'll make a deal with you another two weeks. And if the ball hasn't started rolling by then And we're still Just dicking around in the city. Getting drunk And killing people

Unknown Speaker  
alcohol. Two weeks, two weeks.

Speaker 5  
You are asking for a lot here. Upri You're asking me to trust people I Don't know.

Unknown Speaker  
Well pick up That bottle And get to know him.

Speaker 5  
I look at Ren if any harm comes to my sister I will personally watch the Life Drain out of your body.

Speaker 4  
Okay, he probably die first, let's be honest, little squishy.

Unknown Speaker  
I am a bit squishy.

Speaker 5  
I'm going to trust them for now. But It's only because I trust you. And I understand That you have something important here. I'm not going to deny That It's Just I'm weighing out so many things to keep you alive And to bring you back home. And It's It's hard. And these days, it seems like he's Just getting harder.

Speaker 4  
I mean, Just extend part of the trust towards me towards keeping myself alive. I Don't know.

Unknown Speaker  
It'll all work out.

Unknown Speaker  
I know it will have a feeling

Unknown Speaker  
the last time you had a feeling it was Just gas. A crack a little bit of a smile.

Unknown Speaker  
Ren spits up some wine.

Speaker 4  
I remember That moment. Thank you for bringing That up in front of our new friends.

Speaker 5  
Well, if I'm going to trust them, I might as Well tell them everything about you not about me. And Yonsei takes the wine That they place open it takes a swig. So I guess tell me more about your place of business.

Unknown Speaker  
Now It's a party rentex And others wig.

Timothy (DM)  
So you go in to tell Yonce about Lark's Perch And where you come from as much detail as you'd like to reveal about your your back.

Speaker 2  
Oh, I mean, like as I get drunker as I continue to talk, I talk about like where the name Lark's Perch come from it comes from Lark who was in the war who is dead. But then I also talked about Mara, who the three of us were a triple during the war at a time And then he died And then we broke up because it was Just too much tension. And like I go like far back And then talk about Oh yeah, And by the way, remember how is That my family is dead. We were all killed, like my parents died. And then my entire village was turned into zombies for some reason. And I've Just I ramble, And I drink

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1  
Yes. So Troy is still at the bar Tenebe, the broken flask in And tavern.

Speaker 5  
Has there been any news or any rumblings about the kind of magic explosion That happened? In the middle districts? I guess yesterday?

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah. So cycle, the news cycle had already been talking about That prior to your arrival in the city. But guess phase events are in there. There is actually some note about them being a little bit more aggressive as if these are getting worse. And people in the opinion section are writing about various rationale why they think That is happening. A lot of people continuing dependent on the apostates

Speaker 2  
That escalation seems like it might be our fault. Yeah,

Chris (Sal S)  
I feel like it would have been similarly charged. So I was trying to convince him so we'll Just look at you. Yeah.

Speaker 5  
Still thinking about That Bartender. What?

Chris (Sal S)

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, hit it And quit it. Wow.

Chris (Sal S)  
No, he I

Unknown Speaker  
going back

a little. I Don't know if I should share This about myself, But It's been very difficult. These last five years now. Yeah. I, my friend Desmon who I had met, while I was in prison, I after I, I had it parted ways with him. I closed myself off, I Just felt a lot of guilt. And last night, whenever I was talking to a year, I Just felt like, suddenly, I didn't have This chain around me anymore. like, I wasn't burdened by What could I have done back then? If I was stayed, But it was Just very freeing. So, I Don't know. I'd be interested to see What would happen if I were to stay. But I mean, we have other things to attend to, like the end of the world And cults And giant things That tend to like to spew bile And tentacles And

Speaker 5  
Oh, Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Are you a little apostate you?

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, my God. I'm sanctioned by the state. Yeah,

Are we in a desert you are in

Speaker 1  
a desert? There are trees. There are a lot there is some flora here That is not native to the desert, But not of That

Unknown Speaker  
size And any tree.

Speaker 1  
So there are other trees And there are there plans And things That you could find. Yeah. All Right,

Unknown Speaker  
Can I find some wonderous health potions? wonderous potion, I thought That's What they're called.

Timothy (DM)  
So the thing about health potions are they are highly regulated, because they are a magical thing. So you would need to go to one of the order houses for That. And as you are as an apostate That could present some difficulties.

Unknown Speaker  
I Just look up What Can I do with all This gold?

Chris (Sal S)  
I could probably act as a as a go between since I'm actually approved by the government to

Speaker 1  
Salvador is a licensed cleric. They Don't

Unknown Speaker  
sell magical weapons there, do they?

Chris (Sal S)  
I have a feeling That they would be hesitant to sell them to somebody That isn't a part of the local government. That's

Unknown Speaker  
probably the paperwork involved.

Speaker 2  
Just all of you are always thinking spells And doing things And

Speaker 1  
so you could request it. It would Just take a couple of days to process.

Chris (Sal S)  
Do you do you think we'll be hanging around?

Speaker 2  
I mean, I Just like I Just like want something That I feel like I keep up I feel like I Just go up And stab things And you all are like, hugging fireballs And Shit.

Chris (Sal S)  
I mean, you are very skilled with healing And I mean, Don't slay the dagger. You're very quick with one.

Speaker 2  
Oh, yeah, I Just you want it Just sounds like fun. On Yeah,

Chris (Sal S)  
I confirm That it is pretty enjoyable. But yeah, I Can I Can. Is there something in particular in mind

Speaker 2  
stabbing things like a magic stab or Just magic? Sure. Okay.

Chris (Sal S)  
Magic dagger.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, I like how That sounds

Unknown Speaker  
like how we all cringe a little raw

Unknown Speaker  
sounds like a violation.

Chris (Sal S)  
But yeah, so I could probably put in a request. They'll probably ask a few questions. But I mean, there's no harming truck. You need a business use case. Yeah. And they they know That I'm in the city already because they took our stuff. Yes, you are registered in the city, But they would be questioning like, Why do you have your stuff now? Because That was stolen? Maybe Maybe Don't Yeah, I think that'd be that'd be tricky. Depends

Unknown Speaker  
on how organized they are.

Chris (Sal S)  
But government being disorganized I Don't know.

Speaker 5  
Is there a way I Can get a magical weapon or a staff or or rod streamlined? I have so much gold now.

Chris (Sal S)  
Talk to Akela?

Speaker 1  
Yeah, is there like a try? Akela in the Warrens.

Unknown Speaker  
That's true. But then we got to go to the Warrens. It means you have to come back. Yeah, you'd

Timothy (DM)  
have to make your way all the way down to the lower city to get to the Warrens, to talk to Akela to ask her to try to find some things for you.

Unknown Speaker  
Can I send a raven to her?

Speaker 1  
Technically, Yes. Yeah, you could. I Don't know if her address is reachable by Raven.

Speaker 2  
Given That It's underground through a maze hidden behind intentionally behind a hunky half giant

Unknown Speaker  
Dan wasn't there like a squirrel or something That she was? What

Unknown Speaker  
a squirrel

Unknown Speaker  
X worship. animal companion. I Don't know.

Unknown Speaker  
Akela I Don't think she did. I Don't think Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Well, I guess that'll be a season three thing. Nevermind.

Chris (Sal S)  
Squirrel squirrel friends. So I was going to look for some Fine colored thread.

Timothy (DM)  
Just a thread. Yeah. Okay. beautiful, lovely. Silk varieties available. Lots of different other options. Really anything That you want? Yeah. You go down to the artisanal market And they have all sorts of high end materials. You know, goods.

Chris (Sal S)  
I'll get some Nice gold, blues, reds And greens. Yeah.

Timothy (DM)  
You could all go shopping for clothing to wear to the theater. to me. It's true. You're not Just wearing tunic choruses, tunics in a one size fits all situation.

Speaker 2  
And when you belt it over there, oversized sort of like, kind of billowy to make it work. It's

Speaker 4  
skirt. like long flowy skirts And short shirts. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, yeah. Easy peasy.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, I'm saving mine for a weapon now.

Timothy (DM)  
All Right, lovely. And the day chimes on, And we get to a point in time when you have to go to the theater. It's That time. It's about seven to Late Show 7pm. And you'll make your way to the theater.

Speaker 5  
I want to say Yes But Don't make me look like Horace they look weird.

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah, horse does their own makeup for some reason it shows What you've noticed about Horace is He's constantly Looking at himself in the mirror And you notice That he is like every time he catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror he like notices something And does a touch up like very Just like overly conscious about the perfection of how he looks. His eyebrows are identical not cousins But sister's twin

Speaker 1  
twins even And everything about how he does his makeup is very symmetrical very bold, very Just like every like lipliner is Just like very harsh. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker  
you know Maybe it looks good on stage Maybe let's go

Speaker 1  
you all have box office seats That box That you Don't have to pick them up. You Just check in You're on the list.

Speaker 5  
If It's an amphitheater And outside Anthony's theater, would there actually be boxes? Yeah. Okay, you know, This is This is where where anything Can happen. Sorry.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, they're built up onto the pillars. Yeah, I

Speaker 5  
want to check Nicole Kendrick is being to check where

Timothy (DM)

Speaker 5  
All Right. I'm sitting in my seat with some snacks That I probably got And had ran pay for. That's fair. And my legs are up on I'm assuming there's about like a banister I sit down I put my feet up. This is Nice.

Speaker 2  
I also got a couple of bottles of wine from my bought them at the establishment they

Unknown Speaker  
he has an opera Just in case you

Unknown Speaker  
are all there'll be four hours

Unknown Speaker  
starting at seven

Speaker 4  
This beautiful music That I am intelligent enough to appreciate

Chris (Sal S)  
you'll be making comments like oh man The Boers did a lot better whenever they were doing there was

Unknown Speaker  
Just gonna be me lean into red every five seconds what's happening now?

Speaker 2  
Oh yeah, Wren knows the show like pretty Well because he's seen it a couple of times. And so every every time he leans over And explains the plot being like

Speaker 1  
Oh yeah, And the VO ever theory And camo is in full Varian Oh, Which is a neighboring country known for their operas,

Speaker 2  
And pasta And pasta. Because It's an Italian Oh, Gotcha.

Unknown Speaker  
But the lights dim,

Unknown Speaker  
he sun goes down.

Speaker 1  
I guess we did establish It's like summer. What seasons we establish? I think It's summer. I think It's summer so Yes, the sun is still there's still light in the sky. But the lights dim in the amphitheater because they have tall walls. The sun has set behind the walls. So the lights dim the curtains open to Leporello waiting outside the house And This Mr. Dunn Giamatti. Mazda Giovanni rushes out of the house pursued by Donna Anna And her awakened father.

Unknown Speaker  
Is That Horace Don't Giovanni

Speaker 1  
Yes or is This Don Giamatti? And the play goes on. I'm not going to read all of the synopsis of the play And Don't please

Unknown Speaker  
Don't read the libretto.

Timothy (DM)  
But Don Giovanni ensues on stage starred by Horace Is he any good? He's actually quite talented. His voice is gorgeous, angelic

Speaker 5  
even Whoa, no wonder he's such an asshole. back That up with his talent,

Timothy (DM)  
And it Just is booming across the amphitheater, like everyone Can hear every consonant clearly. Is resonant. It's Just like everything is Just like swelling And Welling And musical terms And things.

Unknown Speaker  
crescendo Yes Ender d4 che

Unknown Speaker  
force

Unknown Speaker  
words in Italian Well,

Speaker 1  
closes the curtains close And they have an intermission.

Speaker 5  
There's a lack of dancing in a circle for my tastes, But I guess It's Okay.

Unknown Speaker  
I think there's some of That Knock too.

Unknown Speaker  
There's more than one act. How many?

Unknown Speaker  
There's 2x 222 x.

Speaker 2  
I mean, it Can be split up into two like there might be more than one act And the actual show I thought the show is over. Oh, no.

Chris (Sal S)  
This is a break where we get Yeah,

Speaker 2  
people have to die still. Oh, oh, now I'm gonna trade Yeah, people That I Just another thing people Just die. And all operas, most operas. Oh,

Chris (Sal S)  
And the way That they die is really interesting. Sometimes they get dragged into hell.

Speaker 2  
That's true. Yeah, But sometimes they get dragged into hell day. Sometimes they stabbed themselves. Sometimes they get baked in ovens

Chris (Sal S)  
even sometimes they Just died illness. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Who knew What we were missing out? Yeah, And Shit.

Speaker 5  
I Don't think we're missing out. It's already been two hours.

Speaker 1  
And now it is genuinely dark out is nighttime. And again, the lights dim This time more noticeably. And the curtains reopen for x two, And x two starts And it continues on for a while. There's lots of singing. There is some dancing in circles in act two actually. Is Correct.

Unknown Speaker  
Finally,

Speaker 1  
there is a dancing in circles. It's very different than Yonce And Upri are familiar with. It's very structured dance. So It's a lot of like dancing in circles in a very intricate pattern. We there's no

Unknown Speaker  
like really drunk high

Unknown Speaker  
fall walking around. No, It's not.

Timothy (DM)  
And there's a lot of This weird theatrics with the men And the women, where they keep partying And then coming together. And then there's like pairing And then they switch partners And You're not Sure why any of it is happening. And then you hear a scream in the back of the the arena, followed by some commotion. The whole thing lasts Maybe 3040 seconds. And then everybody returns. The people on stage are none the wiser. The show continues on

Unknown Speaker  
should we investigate That?

Unknown Speaker  
like it was towards the entrance?

Speaker 2  
Yes. I mean, if the whatever was is ended, It's done. So

Speaker 4  
yeah, I mean, Maybe some rich lady Just got her shoe stepped on or something. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, I guess Just what's keeping the air out when the crowds not reacted,

Unknown Speaker  
Right.

Speaker 5  
This sounded more interesting than whatever's happening on stage Right now.

Speaker 1  
Salvador. As you continue to watch the show, you begin to zone out, You're staring at the stage. And you begin to daydream. Or That's What it felt like at first. But then you slowly slip deeper And deeper into another world. Your vision goes dark. And you start hearing a ringing in your ears. Then finally, at first you hear voice echoing And then you see an image That little speck slowly draw towards you in the center of your vision. And first It's facing the other way. But you notice a black crystal on their Right shoulder protruding, the clothing torn around it And they slowly begin to spin in the air. And as their face comes around, you recognize That

Unknown Speaker  
we Just got past This. No,

Speaker 1  
It's Desmon Oh, Great. But then It's not. Its face is shifting, his face is shifting to someone else's And then another And then back to Desmon.

Timothy (DM)  
As he continues to spin around in space, kind of toppling over spinning in circles around you notice That several appendages have slowly grown from his arms, tentacle in nature bowl This push shoeless. And then you hear Don Giovanni thinking on stage? Oh,

Chris (Sal S)  
the answer You're Right That Thank put me to sleep. What are they doing now?

Speaker 5  
They're singing about something in some language, I still Don't really know. But if I'm using context clues, Don Giovanni stole Don Giovanni's shoes And girlfriend. And now he's mad, because they Don't fit. I Don't know,

Unknown Speaker  
as you look on stage, do you see a cemetery?

Chris (Sal S)  
Wow, That's a pretty pretty dark to drive him such to such a gloomy place.

Unknown Speaker  
I've been half watching, Okay.

Chris (Sal S)  
I've been half asleep. Got a weird vision. Don't want to startle you guys. But What? I Don't know why or how But somehow I dozed off. And I had a vision of Desmond, you know, the guy That I told you about. The other day, he was there And his face was shifting. And he started growing tentacles out of his arms. And

Speaker 1  
who's blocking the light. You look down on stage. And you see Horace, everybody stopped singing, And horses standing center stage, Looking out into the audience, you see That his spotlight is shadowed?

Chris (Sal S)  
Who I glanced over to the

Speaker 1  
audience gasps there's a lot of chatter. And then there is a crash of glass. Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
seems like our cue, let the spotlight broke.

Timothy (DM)  
You hear people screaming in the back of the audience, But you cannot make out what's going on. And That's when Horace bends over And begins to cough.

Speaker 1  
He grabs a handkerchief from his pocket And starts to cough into it. And when he pulls it away, you will make out blood.

Unknown Speaker  
Blood. That thing was in his throat

Speaker 1  
looks back out into the audience. This time we're alert. And you see him run off into the backstage.

Unknown Speaker  
We should we should follow

Speaker 1  
continues And starts to swell in the back of the stage.

Speaker 5  
I think we need to split up two of us check on Tom dude And the other to check the screaming. I volunteer to check on horse And I jumped from the box. And I land very gracefully of higher these boxes.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh no.

Chris (Sal S)  
There at least This high.

Speaker 1  
I'll let you have it. very theatrically. You do some acrobatic Shit And you land.

Unknown Speaker  
I used to lower my Iron Man. And then I Just use it to slow down a little bit.

Speaker 1  
So you quickly make your way down onto the ground floor. Wow,

Unknown Speaker  
That was actually really Cool.

Unknown Speaker  
Where are the rest of you doing?

Unknown Speaker  
Well, random probably needs a doctor.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, yeah, I'll go with the onsite And I hopped down.

Chris (Sal S)  
I'll check the glass

Unknown Speaker  
And What do you say Oh, I pulled her out of her seat.

Chris (Sal S)  
All Right. She had her own seat Hill. Yes, she did.

Speaker 1  
So Yonce And Wren make their way up onto stage. After Horus running off after him. We're going to start with Upri And Sal so you start making your way towards the back of the arena. As you see people are starting to panic they start running And pushing. Most people seem confused at What is going on. You see a lot of Just like anxious faces And everybody is Looking around in your immediate area And the screens are further on. It is starting to become a dangerous riot situation.

Unknown Speaker  
Well Shit.

Chris (Sal S)  
We got to open those doors again anymore That mass sleepy time I actually do Yes. I Can invoke mass sleepy time And a 90 foot radius.

Unknown Speaker  
How far were the doors?

Speaker 1  
You have about 100 feet to go big theater. Theater. Okay. You here People pounding on the wooden doors at the entrance of the theater so they're

Chris (Sal S)  
locked. Grief good gravy. Is it remember they

Unknown Speaker  
opened inwards?

Chris (Sal S)  
No.

Unknown Speaker  
Can I design This?

Chris (Sal S)  
Can I This is open air. There's no ceiling above us Right now. Correct. This is probably the only chance I get to use call lightning because I'm outdoors does have a range of 120 feet.

Speaker 1  
But What are you targeting the door? The door? Well,

Chris (Sal S)  
because it probably would hit people in That area.

Unknown Speaker  
They're NPCs who cares?

Chris (Sal S)  
If You're doing it than That,

Unknown Speaker  
give me five seconds to run.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, are you gonna teleport? Oh, no,

Speaker 4  
I can't do That at will. I'll Just start sprinting I'll dash towards the doors.

Speaker 1  
So as you are approaching the doors, the crowd is getting tighter And more frantic. You're shoving yourself through You're like elbowing people out of the way. And trying to like barrel through a crowd.

Unknown Speaker  
Back up. I'll open it. Dum Dums

Speaker 1  
people are screaming it screams are getting more frequent And louder.

Speaker 6  
I'm gonna go into a rage. All Right. Please Don't kill people. Please. No.

Speaker 4  
I Don't know What That is. Do you think I heard no by now? Perfect. A bottle That shoots out of my chest at the door. It must make a constitution saving throw to 1d6

Unknown Speaker  
d4

Unknown Speaker  
Wait has a constitution It's a d4

Unknown Speaker  
it will fail Constitution save roll work. It

Unknown Speaker  
takes six radian damn And Alright.

Unknown Speaker  
So you blast a hole through the door. And then

Speaker 4  
while underage. Can I Just try to like rip it open somehow or push those people? Yeah, you

Speaker 1  
so you have about 50 feet of people in panic to get through. Oh, still? how aggressively Are you going?

Unknown Speaker  
I'll Just start throwing people away. Alright, so

Speaker 1  
you Just start tackling revenue by the mother Just like throwing them aside? like, in your mind. This is for their own good. Yeah. And so you are Just like shoving everybody out of the way. Pushing them to the ground. You catch out of the corner of your eye That they are starting to get trampled. People who are falling down, are about to get trampled by your actions. Okay, I stopped. So you had Just thrown down a woman fell over to the ground.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, I guess I'll help her up.

Speaker 1  
She pick her back up. Put her back on your feet. You see now That the crowd is actually coming towards you.

Unknown Speaker  
Instead of the door. Oh,

Chris (Sal S)  
should I do sleepy time? Yeah, Sure. Do drifting dreams. All Right. So every creature I guess, including Upri, damnit, except me will get a peaceful dream sleep. So part of This is That they instantly fall asleep. And I'll receive the kind words of a messenger And the messenger says, Do not panic. Everything will be Fine.

Unknown Speaker  
I am God.

Chris (Sal S)  
So, I Lord And say, I have to do DC wisdom saving throw. Alright, That's a natural 20.

Unknown Speaker  
Alright, by him.

Timothy (DM)  
So you save. And as you cast the spell, everybody in the arena falls asleep except for yourself. Yes. And now you get a lay of the land. As they've all slumped the grass they all have all slumped to the ground. And you see around the back of the arena. They have cleared out of space. And you see a massacre of bodies. The perpetrators humanoid figures with Pinky fleshy heads, tentacles coming out of the sides. Similar to What you saw earlier, But not quite these seem more human And as you take a closer look, you notice That they do have human heads, But they have been ripped asunder And the pinky fleshy tentacle part is bursting out of their faces. And they're not asleep. They are asleep But they are slumped over on these corpses

Chris (Sal S)  
so they're gonna get the benefits of a rest

they're gonna get along advantage on wonder rolls Okay Well since since I have some time Can I shake? Since we really haven't gone over the effects of Jeffrey's also asleep? Can I shake up your wake? Are they like they cannot wake up unless I

Speaker 1  
understand cannot wake anybody up unless you And the spell Okay, Well

Chris (Sal S)  
in That case I'm gonna take some time to open the doors. How many like all the doors That That would lead to the exit?

Unknown Speaker  
So you open there's three sets of doors.

Chris (Sal S)  
I'm waiting through all the bodies there now like a lava field.

Speaker 1  
So you are gonna go do That And You're gonna open the doors. let's now go backstage.

Speaker 5  
Running like Naruto run running by like, I'm pretty fast.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm shortly behind you.

Timothy (DM)  
All Right. So you are chasing after Horus he is now stumbling. You see he's stumbling his feet falter. He grabs the wall And he drags his hand against the wall. Down the hallway towards his dressing room.

Speaker 5  
I guess we catch up And I I grabbed him before he completely slumped. Hey there what's what's what's happening?

Speaker 1  
He is coughing up blood And mucus And chunks of why? Bloody fleshy chunks so

Unknown Speaker  
part of his throat.

Speaker 2  
Oh god. How quickly does the crowd go silent? Because I'm assuming we'll hear lots of commotion behind us until very until everything goes quiet.

Speaker 1  
You still are hearing commotion, hearing commotion. He's coughing up And he is like

Unknown Speaker  
he chose to to force people to do That.

Speaker 1  
And It's Just like something slops to the floor. And he grabs That you you see his eyes are like, white And silence behind you.

Speaker 2  
I'm assuming I'll catch up with me like you helped me lay him on the floor And Just like so he's laid on the floor And then I'll do like a an examination of him to see. Okay. I'll check the bloody trunks to see like those like organs like What What is it?

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, give me a Medicine check.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm good at those.

Unknown Speaker  
Our resident physician is good at Medicine check.

Unknown Speaker  
So That's a 26

Speaker 1  
Yes, something is seriously wrong. It's not Oregon, But it is definitely like chunks of flesh. like it is something his insides are ripping apart.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm gonna take a listen And do is you listen

Timothy (DM)  
to his heart is uneven. It's like beating hard And fast. But unevenly. It's what's That called? It's there's a word for it doesn't matter. A rhythmic or rhythmic.

Speaker 1  
Yes, That's Right. Yeah. I think That's Right. We'll go with it. Audience whatever. That's the word we're using. We're not doctors here. Go watch Grey's Anatomy. Anyways, you are listening to his heart. It's very uneven. And his breathing is raspy again, uneven And it keeps stopping. And then he has to gasp for air. And then you see, yellow fluids start to flow from his nose mixed with blood.

Unknown Speaker  
What's happening to him?

Unknown Speaker  
I Don't know. Give me a second.

Unknown Speaker  
And he begins to cease. Great.

Speaker 2  
Um, Well, I think You're 10 people on their side when they have a seizure. Right? Yes, That's an old practice. So I will hoist him onto his side And prop them up against my knees. Go find me like a pillow And some water. Go go small pillow And water.

Speaker 5  
All Right. I run making Sure I Don't step on the pits of Oregon's.

Speaker 1  
Yeah, so you Can make your way into any of the dressing rooms. There are things That could be makeshift made into pillows.

Speaker 5  
I take a bunch of the costumes That are still on the hangers. And I take a chair And I Just throw all the costumes down like in a little bundle And then throw the chair.

Speaker 2  
Yeah, I'll Okay, you bring him back. Yeah, I thought to you, Okay, I will prop up his head as I'm like as high. I have him on his side. And then you see

Speaker 1  
his face is getting the lush even through the foundation. You Can see it is becoming beet red. I like completely stopped breathing. His teeth are clenched.

Speaker 2  
Oh, I'll try And release his jaw then I'll do the things That doctor would do. Because I Don't know What those things are.

Speaker 1  
So you grab on his jaw And you try to relax it, you try to pull it down. You hold his body as he's still feeding. You try to keep him in place so That he doesn't bash his head. And That is when you see This skin down the center of his face split open a tentacle shoots out an eye socket. Oh no. See the eye ball itself bursts the liquid pouring out And then the blood And viscera as tentacles burst out of his face. I jump back

We have corruption mechanics That come with a set of spells That are homebrewed they're quite spicy. And That has been What our players are doing is casting these spells. They all have repercussions And saves associated with them in order to prevent becoming more corrupt. So as you remove yourself from the trans to quickly try to run across the crowd of people before they get back up. If you open one of the doors, And everybody starts to wake up Upri You are now waking up in a crowd of people. Everybody is stumbling up. very confused, But Well rested. Everybody have a beautiful, long rest with a lovely dream.

Chris (Sal S)  
And Tim, whenever I said my piece, I told them when I say, Stay calm, stay calm, Don't panic. Do not panic. And Don't fucking run.

Speaker 1  
does not hold a bunch of random people not to panic or run in a calm home dream That they were subjected to Upri What would you like to do?

Speaker 4  
I'm going to try to clamor to my feet in the tangle of humans.

Unknown Speaker  
get get your elbow over there.

Unknown Speaker  
Where am I standing? And That's

Unknown Speaker  
when you hear people starting to scream again. I look

Unknown Speaker  
towards the scream And What do I see?

Speaker 1  
Everybody's like picking themselves up. And as you are Just like, quick. You've been through This before. So you are probably one of the quicker people to get yourself up. And you see those abominations? The humanoids with the burst in tentacle faces. They are getting up. And their tentacles are starting to lash out at people within the crowd, ripping them off their feet And pulling them in towards them.

Unknown Speaker  
And how far away are they from me?

Unknown Speaker  
I still 50 feet.

Speaker 4  
I guess I'll start trying to make my way towards the tentacles.

Speaker 1  
All Right. Cool. Salvador. So you've Just opened these doors. And as you are like, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, everybody's starting to wake up. Things are starting to get fucking insane again. You look out into the lobby And you see another one of those tiny creatures That was wrapped around Horace is face clambering along the walls through the lobby towards the theater Yonsei You're in the back? Hallway? What would you like to do?

Unknown Speaker  
I would like to catch up to Wren.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you catch up to Wren, you step out on stage. And you see everybody is waking up. But also there's a lot of chaos going on. You see, Upri is trying to like make her way towards the door. Salvador has Just opened the doors And you make out the creatures. By the entrance of the theater.

Speaker 5  
I'm going to look around And be like, Well, I'm gonna say This is better than the opera. Still better than the opera.

Unknown Speaker  
Agree or disagree. Rent draws us borrow?

Speaker 1  
It is banishment, a concentration spell? And if not, how long does it last?

Unknown Speaker  
Its concentration is up to one minute.

Speaker 1  
Okay. So Just keep That in mind. Wren, it is your turn.

Speaker 2  
I'm gonna fire off an arrow into one of them on the stage.

Unknown Speaker  
Alright, make an attack while she has arrows.

Speaker 2  
Oh, he Just kidding. First. I'm going to use a spicy spell everyone. One of my new ones And I'm terribly afraid of what's going to happen But it makes sense. So I'm going to cast meld form on one of the How far does That How far am I from them?

Unknown Speaker  
You're like 10 feet.

Speaker 2  
Oh, God. Nevermind. I will dash. Right.

Speaker 1  
C dash towards the crowd of people. Yeah. All Right. At This point, you hear someone running up from behind you Yonsei And as you turn around, it is a noop Oh, And she's like bawling.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh my gosh. Hey, sorry.

Speaker 5  
What happened? Sweets breed a new breed.

Speaker 7  
Can you get it together? Can I gather? You? We're Looking for Vladlan And Vladlan is in the Warrens. If you go to the Warrens, Maybe they'll be able to put This all together. Please help us.

Speaker 1  
You knew That the entire time. She finally makes eye contact with you. And she looks she's like cowering And shaking. She's bawling her eyes out.

Unknown Speaker  
Nods very slowly.

Speaker 5  
A new por por noob All Right. Repeat What you Just said And find a place to hide. I'm assuming you have a broom closet.

Speaker 7  
flatland isn't the Warrens in There's a lever behind the flower. And there's really no

Speaker 5  
falling over behind the flower here or in the Warrens in the store room

Unknown Speaker  
in the Warrens. Alright,

Speaker 5  
That's enough of What I need. Hide. Protect yourself he Sprint's backstage But in both way before she does, I'm going to hand her one of my daggers.

Speaker 1  
She takes it very hesitantly holds it completely wrong. Kind of like how somebody takes out the butcher knife from the butcher block. When they're trying to protect themselves from an intruder in the house.

Speaker 5  
I'm gonna be like, No, No, sweetie, This way. Stick around with the pointy end now Hide, hide, hide.

Speaker 1  
Okay, so now she runs off with This dagger like in front of her, you know, the scene in The Shining, where she's running to the maze, And she Just kind of has the dagger or knife out in front of her. Yes. And it will definitely look like she's going to trip And stammers over the face. That's what's going on. She runs off. And the audience is Just getting ripped to shreds by these three creatures. And then you see two more burst into the front of the lobby Sal. And It's your turn.

Chris (Sal S)  
So there are two people, monsters one mouth monster on the wall. And how are the civilians acting?

Speaker 1  
So they're freaking the Fuck out. There's a lot of death happening. And you spot two of them running across the wall towards the lobby. So I think there's three in the theater already humanoid, ask things with tentacles bursts out of their skulls, the two things running tiny things running across the wall. And then two more humanoids. One looks similar to the one you encountered earlier, a little bit more forms. Less human. But the other one is a person with their tattered clothes, blood all over it. Tentacles burst through their skull to open. Seven monsters in total.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, my goodness. Okay. So how many doors Can I get open if I use my action to open these doors?

Speaker 1  
So you Can sprint off to both doors And get them open? You'll Just have to push through And Don down on the way of any attacks.

Chris (Sal S)  
Okay, yeah, I'll do That.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. The three doors are open.

Chris (Sal S)  
Upri. We got to get these people out of here. I Don't think we Can handle This.

Speaker 4  
All Right, you do That. And I'll Just drag. Okay, so things That are killing them,

Unknown Speaker  
because there's a lot And they're killing really fast.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. So how would you like to do That?

Speaker 4  
Over here you face fuckers And I'll run in between all three of them And rage. Alright,

Speaker 1  
at This point, like people are going to die regardless, You're able to Just like push through them. If they fall on the ground And get trampled. That fucking sucks. You're trying to save people's lives. So you Just rush through Grabbin rage, call their attention. Give me an Intimidation check.

Speaker 4  
But is going to be live And

Speaker 1  
they seem like they're Just grabbing people with like no regard for anything really. They're Just grabbing flow at random. They Don't seem to have their attention drawn to you.

Speaker 4  
Cool. So What happens is I slam firm into the ground And give her a good shake. And then a little pixie flies out of her league. And a second one flies out. Now there's two picks.

Unknown Speaker  
pixies And they Just start Pixie statblocks

Speaker 4  
Knock quite And then each of them flies at one of the creatures two different ones And then explodes And they both need to make Dexterity save.

Unknown Speaker  
beautiful pixie bombs.

Speaker 4  
Yes. And they reappear every turn And then blow up.

Unknown Speaker  
Two And a four.

Speaker 4  
They both take will say the first one takes kind of five fourths damage. And the second one takes one force damage.

Speaker 1  
All Right. Ah, all Right. That happens Salvador, You're watching This things on the wall. Okay, they are climbing against the wall. Then they go across the ceiling towards the theater And launch themselves through the doors. They hit two people And immediately wrap themselves around those people's faces. Those people go Go down, they collapse to the ground. Sorry. John, say What are you doing?

Speaker 5  
I am laying out What to do. I guess how far is besides rent? Rent? You're not covered by anything, Right? No. Okay. How far away is Upri? From your feet? 200 feet. Or? So I guess I'll Just, I'll sprint. And I'll That's all I Can really do. All Right.

Speaker 1  
So you And Wren are sprinting towards the chaos. Ren is your turn, you are ahead of Yonsei.

Speaker 2  
Okay, slipups me 60 feet in. So I have 140 40 feet. So I will dash again getting me to 80 feet Right away. And I'm realizing because I'm part rogue. Dashing is a cunning action. So It's a bonus action. So I'm gonna fire an arrow at one of the ones That depicts it.

Speaker 1  
Alright, And at This point, you are now entering the crowd of people. Yeah. Most of the people on the fringe where you are, are Just disoriented. They Don't know what's going on. Okay, so they Don't know What direction to go. So they're kind of all they're freaking out. But they Don't know to run away from the doors.

Speaker 2  
Gotcha. I'm going to try And find like, Maybe stairs up to a box That I could stand on to get a little bit higher up. So I'm not shooting through a crowd. I'm shooting over a crowd.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right, make an attack roll.

Speaker 2  
Oh, boy. That is a 10 to hit.

Speaker 1  
Someone bumps you as You're trying to let out your arrow. Okay. All Right. These face abominations are they are Just randomly targeting people. I'm gonna roll some dice for them. Oh, boy. All Right. They are Just decimating the crowd. They're killing like two people per round each of them. And damn. And That's when the two more are now coming across the lobby. They are Just entering the doorway, And they are about to go to town. Salvador, What are you doing?

Chris (Sal S)  
Okay, so the two mouth inserters are together And the jellyfish And the manna together? Yeah, What is the name?

Unknown Speaker  
I Don't know. Maybe

Speaker 1  
he's kind of like in This whole entrance of the theater now.

Chris (Sal S)  
But there I need to know there's a face huggers

Speaker 1  
That have tackled people down And wrap themselves around near the entrance. Everybody else's kind of congregated in That entrance area. Are you doing an AoE?

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, It's Okay. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
What's the AoE? So since

Chris (Sal S)  
I'm gonna call lightning so I Can attack something. And everything within five feet of That also has to do a dexterity saving throw.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, I think you probably pull off two of them.

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, I'll go for the face augers.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, so people attached to the facehuggers.

Chris (Sal S)  
I know This is This is like, Okay, they're gonna turn they're gonna turn into I Don't know, the horse has changed. But I imagine Nothing good Can come from This.

Speaker 5  
It's kind of like there's one. It's like the two track problem where there's one person on one track And there's six on the other. Which one do you save?

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna call lightning on these two facehuggers. And they have to do dexterity saving throw of 16.

Speaker 1  
All Right, so one is certainly going to fail And the undermine is going to also fail. Okay,

Chris (Sal S)  
so I'm going to use channels with vanity to roll max damage. So they take a total of 30 lightning damage.

Speaker 1  
Right. They are blasted And singed But still holding on to those faces.

Unknown Speaker  
Two people are dead. Problems. It's a true I mean,

Unknown Speaker  
It's like there's they got beat by zombies.

Speaker 1  
So they are holding on to those faces, But you notice That they're starting to loosen their grip. Okay. Upri

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah. All Right. Can I

Chris (Sal S)  
use my movement to get closer away from the door? Try to get away from where people are trampling.

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah, absolutely. So you make your way. The unfortunate truth is That people were trying to run away from the things And they saw the doors open turned around, is it seeing it might be a point of escape, or were there other things came through the doors? Okay. I

Chris (Sal S)  
didn't know That. They were

Unknown Speaker  
Okay. Okay. Yeah, they came in the front door.

Speaker 1  
They came into the front doors. So people have kind of done This thing where they were like, go in one way then they turn around And then they're like going the other way And then it And It's Just nobody has the crowd has not come to a consensus yet. Okay. Upri What are you Doing

Speaker 4  
Well, I gotta whip up for an off the ground And slam it down on technical face Person B. And I rolled in at 20.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right, Great on That.

Speaker 4  
So I get to rule three because all Right, I quit as a way I think actually Maybe It's for now because they get one from being half orc And one from being a barbarian. Remember, That's a little tune. I think It's three All Right. Oh, oh five And 13 plus fan 18 damage on the first hit as I slammed into one of the face things That I bring for And backup for another hit Which is a 23 to hit that'll hit That does an additional 11 bludgeoned And damage And then I'm going to pull out I'm using a one handed And then I pull up my axe give it a spin And then throw it at a different one we'll say face fucker see And That is going to be attend to hit

Unknown Speaker  
attend is not here

Speaker 4  
And then like you Can kind of see it I throw it And then I pull it back And it comes back into my hand not very far cute

Speaker 1  
it was cute the face fucker does not seem to putter But But has finally turned his attention towards you so is going to make an attack on you I'm Just the one be Just the one the others are still concerned with Just anything And everything That they come into contact with. So they are going to make to tentacle Turks. A 19 will hit you

Unknown Speaker  
Yes it will.

Unknown Speaker  
So you are going to take

Speaker 1  
11 bludgeoning damage have to five And become grappled Fuck. And then as you feel it wrap around you, I need you to make a constitution saving throw.

Unknown Speaker  
Well Fuck

Unknown Speaker  
10

Speaker 1  
Alright, so you are going to fail And become poisoned And paralyze.

Unknown Speaker  
Well Dan,

Speaker 1  
Alright. More death And carnage ensues for the rest of the round bringing us back to Salvador you now start to notice That the crowd is starting in the chaos starting to figure out That the two side doors are clear And people are starting to move towards the side doors That you have opened.

Chris (Sal S)  
Great. I'm going to look around for Upri Where's Upri

Speaker 1  
In the middle of the entrance area being tentacle by one of the face fuckers motionless.

Chris (Sal S)  
Okay, I'm gonna use my movement to run towards her And I'm gonna use my action to repeat called lightning so at all the two mounts in the mouth, things have to do another dexterity saving throw

Speaker 1  
small face huggers All Right, they are going to do their dexterity game thrones

Unknown Speaker  
poor people are Well done. Nicely charred

Speaker 1  
now Vicki, burning flesh. They also failed.

Chris (Sal S)  
Okay, so I'm gonna choose my channel divinity to do another max damage. So they take 30 points of lightning damage.

Speaker 1  
Okay, now they themselves are Looking rather singed But still moving.

Chris (Sal S)  
And how far away am I from Upri Now, could I get to them next? Yeah, you

Speaker 1  
Can get to Upri Upri is not actually That far from you. So you could probably get to her now.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, But That will put me in. I want to middle. I want to hold off until I Can grab her. Okay, And holler off.

Speaker 1  
All Right. Upri you Can make a constitution saving throw at the end of your turn to become unparalleled.

Chris (Sal S)  
very constitutions. good.

Speaker 4  
Sorry, What does parallels do? I can't do any actions even with MOM. Parallel

Chris (Sal S)  
you have advantage on 20 roll.

Unknown Speaker  
You cannot move or speak

Speaker 4  
Can I magically summon a fairy? The 10 then explode with my bonus action.

Speaker 1  
Oh, yeah. Were they already part of your rate

Speaker 4  
after use a bonus action And I used it to throw the X instead. That's probably no.

Speaker 1  
Say no. Just for the heart of the parallel analysis.

Unknown Speaker  
Perfect. That is huge number. Math is hard. That's a 25.

Speaker 1  
Alright, Nice, That will save. So you feel your body relax again And then tense up because You're still in the heat of battle. But it is the facehuggers turn. And they have realized That their prospective hosts are very dead. And so they change their targets. And they're gonna leap one of them at you, Salvador, And another is going to leap towards somebody else in the crowd.

Chris (Sal S)  
Of all the people they they narrow the to the two of us.

Speaker 1  
Well, you are attracting quite intention. Yeah, we're

Chris (Sal S)  
very dramatic is

Unknown Speaker  
What happens when you get some the night before.

Chris (Sal S)  
Just so much more confident.

Speaker 1  
So as it launches itself towards your face, you were able to duck out of the way because I rolled a seven. But as it lands, it is going to try to spit a chemical glob in your direction. Can you do a dexterity saving throw?

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, That's my Achilles heel. That's a 15.

Speaker 1  
That will save. So the blinding spill hits a bunch of people behind you, But not you. Oh, And it is Yonce's turn.

Speaker 5  
I'm gonna dash again. Because That's really all I Can do. So That's 60 feet. And That's it.

Unknown Speaker  
beautiful. That brings us.

Speaker 5  
I do have a question though. How high up? Are they? Because we're gonna have to then go up some stairs.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, they're on the ground floor. Oh, everybody's on the ground floor.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, I Just jumped off the box. Okay, now. Ren

Speaker 2  
Ren is going to do something That I wish I had done from the beginning because I forgot That I Can. I'm gonna use my action And my bonus action to double dash Whoo. And my normal movement, Which puts me 90 feet in total. And I'm going to place myself behind the one That Upri is fighting.

Speaker 1  
Right. So you make your way through the crowd. How are you doing That?

Unknown Speaker  
How high are the boxes?

Chris (Sal S)  
We're in the lobby? No, I mean, no, we're

Unknown Speaker  
not. We're

Speaker 1  
in the standing room area. Yeah, the boxes are Maybe 15 feet up.

Speaker 2  
Okay, so I can't like no, like, not easily monkey bars across them. I'm going to try And Just like get close to the wall I guess. And like skirt along the wall. If there's any like things on the wall That I Can like jump on And like kind of parkour my way across. I'll do That

Speaker 1  
give me an Acrobatics check. Eight i. So you survey the room. And you realize there isn't much to grab onto the architecture here is very smooth, lots of blocky, straight, Right angles, And Nothing to grab on to. So instead you try to make way through the crowd. But because of all the chaos You're getting pushed back from the crowd. So you Can only make your way about halfway through the crowd towards Upri. Okay, overwrites Upri A few are getting tumor tentacle attacks. A 90 minute head again. So do That constitution saving throw

Unknown Speaker  
22

Speaker 1  
You save so it Just has you grappled,

Unknown Speaker  
no damage.

Unknown Speaker  
The damage That you take will be nine bludgeoning have to fold Right And That's when the big boss enters the room And starts ripping people apart.

Speaker 1  
So the two from the doorway or have now fully entered the crowd And now are tearing through it. Salvador What are you doing

Chris (Sal S)  
now That they're tearing through since called Lightning as a cloud of 60 foot radius, I Can choose anywhere in That 60 feet to cast a lightning bolt. So I'm going to cast it on the two bosses That Just walked in. All Right, so they will have to do a dexterity saving throw 16

Speaker 1  
I'm gonna I think That they do not have enough dexterity to save after rolling a three. They do not

Unknown Speaker  
have a plus 13

Speaker 1  
zero And minus one. So they're both gonna fail.

Chris (Sal S)  
So I'm gonna use my last channel divinity to roll max damage of 30 lightning And I missed This part But Thunderbolts strike Which is a part of my cleric thing, whenever I do lightning damage to a creature larger or smaller, they get pushed to 10 feet away from me. All Right, so they're gonna get push 10 feet towards the door. Here,

Speaker 1  
you are grappled, But to not paralyzed. What would you like to do? So your movement is zero, blank And

Unknown Speaker  
swamp,

Unknown Speaker  
But you Can still mop

Unknown Speaker  
I'm going to walk. Won't won't get That one later.

Unknown Speaker  
Advantage. But no.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. Does 17 Hit

Speaker 1  
17 does? Hit does? Yes.

Speaker 4  
All Right. Facebook, er B takes six bludgeoned And damage, Right. So nat 1.

Unknown Speaker  
Alright, crit arcanum.

Speaker 4  
Math is hard. Five, five And verb 15 bludgeoning damage. And then I'll pull out my trusty throwing axe again, And throw That at a different one try to get attention from the crowd will say, see? There's no, Perfect. I mean, we're back after it probably takes down And It's

Speaker 1  
probably at This point, the body count is in the double digits for Sure. Maybe approaching the triples.

Speaker 5  
I mean, they're all rich. So who cares?

Unknown Speaker  
Do I see Sal or anyone?

Speaker 1  
Now you Can see Sal, he's Just on the other side of the person That you Just walked on.

Unknown Speaker  
Sal, what's the plans out?

Unknown Speaker  
We got to get out of here. Okay.

Speaker 1  
You see, the one facebooker is wrapped around somebody's face. It seems content to doing That. And the other one That had tried to go for Sal is going to again, attempt to do so. I really 17

Chris (Sal S)  
No, yeah, we did no.

Speaker 1  
So That means it is going to hit you. I need you to take a decent amount of damage.

Chris (Sal S)  
It's good thing I'm so strong And anti squish.

Speaker 1  
20 points of bludgeoning damage. And you feel it wrap around your neck. Your vision goes out. And it covers your mouth And nose No. Passed out. But now you cannot breathe or see

Unknown Speaker  
colliding on yourself

Unknown Speaker  
And say yeah. Well, would you like to do?

Unknown Speaker  
How far away am I to Upri in them?

Speaker 1  
So You're Just about approaching the crowd of people. So You're about 50 feet.

Speaker 5  
All Right, so I'm going to run my speed, Which is 30. And then I'm going to miss the step to where Upri use.

Unknown Speaker  
Right? She missed the step Right into the center of the action.

Unknown Speaker  
Yes. Oh Shit. And I'm going to look at What the hell's going on.

Speaker 6  
I Don't know. But we need to get on here you see a tentacle wrapped around? And with my bonus

Speaker 5  
action. I'm going to use hex on That tentacle. Okay, hold on one second. Do you do with hex? bonus action? Is it Just guaranteed or it doesn't say I have a roll?

Speaker 1  
Hex Just it basically does a thing That causes the target to roll. Oh no, it Just adds 1d6 necrotic damage to any damage you do to have

Speaker 4  
your action because isn't Miss DCEP a bonus action? So you could womp it.

Speaker 5  
Oh, it is Cool. I Don't know I Just said That. Um, oh, You're Right. Thank you for knowing my character more than I do. All Right. And then with That, I'm going to dis eldest blasts That a 14 does a 14 And or a no sorry, 12 or a 18. Hate

Unknown Speaker  
to 18 We'll

Unknown Speaker  
hit Alright, so

Speaker 5  
That's one dt n plus four. And That is going to be for a total of 14. And since I already used my bonus action to miss the step. I'm someone I can't use. That's Correct.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. All Right. Then It's your turn.

Speaker 2  
Okay, I'm gonna try And push to describe And I only do so mumbling to himself the fucking magic. I wish Just pop over there

Speaker 1  
All Right, so you are going to start pushing your way through the crowd give me another Acrobatics check

Speaker 2  
Can I not Acrobatics check Just dicksterity my way over like weakly The Goddess You're

Speaker 1  
Don't you made it about halfway through? So You're like another 25 feet to go nine. Okay, so That will get you like GEOSS to the edge of where the the lines bodies And And the dead bodies begin. So you are like in That area where all of the creatures are killing people

Speaker 2  
And is That Just my movement or is That a gesture? Okay, I'm gonna dash then to get on the other side as about Dash as a bonus action to get on the other side of the thing with Upri And then I'll attack it all Right, with my short answers so

Speaker 5  
does That mean That That thing is flanked now because I'm

Speaker 2  
here yeah um, does a 21 hit? Yes it does. Now I Don't get to get add my spicy numbers because I haven't analyzed Yeah, because I've been using my bonus acronyms to run. let's see. This one And This one That is 13 piercing damage

Speaker 1  
13. Yeah. All Right. You see That it is gushing both blood. And That pinky green pass from its face. Brilliant. All Right. Now That all four of you are in the mix. I'm going to say That at This point. You've all attracted enough attention to warrant And attack so Upri make a constitution saving throw

Unknown Speaker  
26

Speaker 1  
All Right. So it is going to try to squeeze you And use its poison Barb's it is going to squeeze you for 10 bludgeoning damage. But you passed your constitution saving throw And are not poisoned. But you are still grappled by it.

Unknown Speaker  
Of course.

Speaker 1  
Alright, Yonsei you duck under a tentacle That comes from behind you. Whoa, Wren you see a tentacle shoot out Just as You're stepping over a body shoot out And slap down on the ground to the left of your foot dodge dodge And Salvatore you

Unknown Speaker  
can't see Shit.

Speaker 1  
see two of these creatures? Oh no, you Don't see anything you Don't see anything.

Chris (Sal S)  
But when I smell worse you smell to have these creatures

Speaker 1  
now That You're feeling like suffocated. You cannot see You're disoriented And then you Just feel a whack into your abdomen You're going to take eight bludgeoning damage all Right, Salvador it is your turn so

Chris (Sal S)  
am I suffocating Right now?

Speaker 1  
Mechanically No, you Just feel like you are Great. So somehow You're receiving oxygen

Chris (Sal S)  
Aqua long Oh my goodness.

Your lungs are now moving.

Chris (Sal S)  
And It's currently inside of my mouth is

Unknown Speaker

I'm going to try Oh I Don't want to rip it out because I imagine there are backwards Barb's And I'll do something Can I Just try to stab it?

Speaker 1  
You Can try stabbing it. You will do so with disadvantage because because you Can kind of make outwards body is But there are several other tentacles That you cannot tell where they are. It has many tentacles around

Chris (Sal S)  
my neck around my face. Yes. Okay. Oh, But I also can't see

Speaker 1

Chris (Sal S)  
We'll figure it out on the way Yeah.

Speaker 2  
Okay, how do I let's Just book it out of here. And then we'll read reorient ourselves And find a way down to the lower levels.

Unknown Speaker  
Weren't there stairs in the middle of the stage?

Unknown Speaker  
Do you want to go back in there? Oh, That's Fine.

Unknown Speaker  
No, do you know? All Right, I guess we're Just gonna

Unknown Speaker  
have to make our way. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Why faster? Make

Unknown Speaker  
no way to

Speaker 1  
see you exit through the Right side of the lobby. And you out in the side garden. People are pushing past through out into the streets, screaming, yelling, running, Just trying to get as far away from there as possible. Where would you like to go? How would you like to go And

Unknown Speaker  
still engage in combat?

Unknown Speaker  
No, we are out of calm.

Speaker 5  
All Right, I'm gonna quickly cast false life on myself. So I Can get some points of in That is I Just get the max

Speaker 2  
Ren will like Dasha heads since I'm faster than everybody. And like scope out a clear path That doesn't have a lot of people But also no monsters. All Right. And like wave everybody over And directions. And if we Can get back to Horace is how could be a place to hunker down for at least Just to like catch a breath. Make a plan? Take a short rest. Exactly. All Right. All Right.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So You're going to turn towards the front of the theater to make your way towards Horace's um, Maybe

Speaker 2  
go like the long way around a long way around the scenic route as Well.

Timothy (DM)  
So you go up against the edge of the upper city. So You're Right up against That railing. That is along the perimeter of the upper city. You Can see the lower And middle districts below you. You are going to skirt That wall towards Horace's house. So as you are skirting the perimeter of the opera city, I'm going to need you all to make stealth checks.

Speaker 6  
1713 1215

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. So

Speaker 1  
What we are now entering is a mechanic That I would like to call, defend, fight, hide or flee. Based on your actions in the upcoming events. You will be presented with several challenges. Succeeding on those challenges in one of those four ways is how you make your way into the Warrens. So you have to successfully make your way into the Warrens by either defending an area until the chaos calms down enough fighting your way through enemies hiding from them. So What you are currently doing is hiding or Just plain on running. So That is a success for hiding as you make your way towards Horace is a state. What you notice first is That the guard is missing from the front gate

Unknown Speaker  
to AEW.

Chris (Sal S)  
And now we Can act. Yeah, Okay. not a good sign That he's left his post.

Speaker 4  
Yeah. Is This a good idea to stay here? Or should we Just keep running?

Unknown Speaker  
Are there any lights on in the house?

Chris (Sal S)  
There are? Some is probably there.

Speaker 4  
Is it defensible his house or is it like lots of floor to ceiling windows

Speaker 1  
left the floor to ceiling windows, But they are high off the ground with hedges beneath them. Basically, the foundation is quite raised off the ground.

Chris (Sal S)  
Stairs. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Do we see anyone in there?

Unknown Speaker  
You Don't see anybody from the gate?

Speaker 2  
Is there a lot of commotion around us in the street Right now? No. I say we moving quiet like, yeah, see What things are like inside? Sure. Okay. Yeah, Well, proach quietly, quite peeking in Windows And such see quietly

Speaker 1  
make your way towards horses home. There are lights on But you do not hear anybody inside you make your way to the front door. Would you like to enter?

Unknown Speaker  
I'm gonna listen at the door listening.

Speaker 1  
Alright, so you listen to the door. And you Don't hear anything on the other side.

Unknown Speaker  
I think we're clear. And I'll slowly open it begin.

Speaker 1  
Right. So the door creaks open And you peek into the foyer? You Don't see anybody.

Unknown Speaker  
Alright, let's go. Sneaking. All Right,

Speaker 1  
you make your way into horses house. As you get deeper into the house, you realize That there is nobody here the lights were Just left on.

Unknown Speaker  
Dangerous turn them out yet. Turn off all the lights. I know

Unknown Speaker  
being a homeowner you been turned off looks Dan.

Chris (Sal S)  
Is it electricity? Or is it Just flame? oil lamps? Oh, oh, man.

Speaker 2  
I mean, horse wasn't especially keen. I'll say That on things in general. He didn't seem like the most. Oh, What our fellow Gotcha.

Speaker 5  
Can probably afford. I mean, he had 500 in That one safe. He's

Speaker 2  
dead now in case two didn't. Yeah, his face split open like the ones. Yeah, it wasn't pleasant. Gross.

Speaker 5  
I had a banish him. Yeah, it was weird. Hopefully. It really is. Okay.

Unknown Speaker  
Down. Yeah.

Chris (Sal S)  
I Maybe she found some courage.

Speaker 5  
I told her to hide in a broom closet. And I think she'll I think she'll be Fine.

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, as long as she holds it closed.

Speaker 2  
Anyway, yeah, we'll go around turning off all the lights to see as inconspicuous as possible.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you go around, you turn off all of the oil lamps around the house, And do a perimeter check. As You're doing so.

Speaker 2  
barricade the doors, you'd like to barricade the doors, put some big heavy burden Right in front of the doors?

Unknown Speaker  
Would you each give me a survival check.

Unknown Speaker  
Want to use That thing That you use? You gave me to have one more

Chris (Sal S)  
That That only lasts a day. And I think you used it from whenever we fell asleep in the house. And you didn't fall asleep again, you didn't fall asleep the second time because you were in the backstage with Wren.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, Well, I rolled the word out What I rolled. So I have to roll again. That was a 19. All Right,

Chris (Sal S)  
I got 25 5950.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you do a pretty good job of barricading as best as possible is not the most defensible house. But hopefully the height of the windows off the ground gives you something to work with. So You're able to cover up most of the lower sections of the windows on the ground floor. barricade the front And back door as Well as the side patio. And then you eight.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, we should.

Speaker 2  
I'm whispering to the you know, always make as little noise as possible. We should have somebody watching each door entrance. And then we should keep quiet so we Can hear any breaking windows, things like That. Take a breath. Take a little rest. And then we'll kind of once things have calmed down outside we make a plan to get to the Warrens.

Chris (Sal S)  
So they're the bedroom. Whenever I offered to clean up course his bedroom, I would have done That. So That the windows are fixed now. And It's slightly cleaned up.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, you know, That was at least on the second floor. Yeah.

Chris (Sal S)  
But I'm guessing if they came in Oh, no, I guess That person might have Just come in the ground floor. But yeah, keeping an eye out for flying things. Oh, god. No.

Unknown Speaker  
Well, do we take a short rest now?

Speaker 1  
Yeah, you all Wait Half an hour goes by the max.

Unknown Speaker  
I didn't take a look at damage in That hole.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh man,

Speaker 5  
I did into That last part. And I Just got it all back. Plus my Tim. I'm good two

Unknown Speaker  
hours go by my spouse lots.

Speaker 2  
Do we see any business on the road like anybody wandering around guards Maybe the military.

Speaker 1  
After two And a half hours, you start to hear some people screaming outside. You start to hear glass, crashing the splintering of wood. And then slowly as if It's a wave rolling towards you the noise builds want to state 15 minutes later, And next to stay 15 minutes later. And next to stay

Unknown Speaker  
out? probably.

Speaker 2  
I go because you get the Fuck out of here. Okay. And had That direction, the direction Which the noise is not coming from? It seems like there are way more of them than we anticipated. And they are going from house to house. So we should head That direction And hopefully find a way down into the lower city. Yeah.

Speaker 4  
I mean, I'm Sure the locks are open at This point. The checkpoints I hope so. I didn't think my dad or the lockdown the city And we're absolutely fucked.

Chris (Sal S)  
Right. Shit. So we'd have to go back towards the opera house to find to get to where we could try to find if there's like a stairwell on the around where the noble quarters

Unknown Speaker  
Just scaled down

Speaker 5  
This year, the sheer cliff or Can we take a gondola Just all the way down?

Chris (Sal S)  
I think to get to the gondola we'd have to go back towards the Opera House.

Speaker 2  
Well, is there anything on the map That would designate a way to get down in the direction That we want to head away from the noise.

Speaker 1  
So you know the two official entrances to the upper city. Those are by gondola. However, you did arrive through a secluded entrance through the theater, Right? You could suppose That there may be others. But they are not officially present or known to

Speaker 2  
us. So It's not really a lot of That's not really a lot of help to get us down.

Speaker 5  
Can we check the black? The black whatever the purple carrot? was the name of the bar, the purple goat

Speaker 2  
goat was the purple go? There's the purple goat in the direction That we were hoping to go or is it the other direction

Speaker 1  
it is? Is towards That direction? Do you think getting hurt?

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, we could have That way or we get to skirt the long way around past Q And A's Palouse And like try to circle by the tempo And go the opposite. We could try. Maybe swing around depending on how big it is. Yeah.

Speaker 5  
I Just want Cfz here. Is That the person That you said his name?

Chris (Sal S)  
Yes there.

Speaker 5  
Maybe he knows something That we get out to city. He seems like he knows something.

Chris (Sal S)  
He Sure does.

Unknown Speaker  
You do have a connection at the purple goat.

Unknown Speaker  
Baa Baa Sheep.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, after the purple coat then

Chris (Sal S)  
should we take any supplies from here? like he did have gin Which we could use as a explosive And light on fire. Whilst I was saying This he grabs a bottle. Okay.

Unknown Speaker  
Is there any money left?

Speaker 1  
Would you like to spend time searching now money? Yeah, we got to go. Screaming is approaching.

Unknown Speaker  
I wish I'd done it earlier.

Speaker 1  
All Right. Where do you want to go to exit the house front, back side,

Unknown Speaker  
the side That's away from the noise.

Speaker 1  
So the side patio door go away from the noise towards the purple goat. See you move the furniture That you had placed in front as a barricade. It's screeches across the parquet floor And you open the door you push out into the garden along the side there is a back gate of the estate That is a little bit more secluded And hidden And will get you closer to be purple goat. Okay, so you make your way out through That game. You start to make your way down the street again. Can you all give me a stealth check? 11

Chris (Sal S)  
also 11

Unknown Speaker  
Awesome 1117 For As

Speaker 1  
you begin to work your way down the street towards the purple goats, And you hear people running down one of the streets as you are going in parallel. And as You're kind of trying to quietly make your way through, That noise of the people running is gaining I knew. So each time you pass a block, It's closer until eventually you catch a glimpse of it. And they're not people. Or at least not anymore. And they see, you

Unknown Speaker  
know, the whole mob.

Speaker 1  
As several of these tentacle phased creatures start to sprinted down the street towards you.

Speaker 2  
We do Yeah, I feel like we would have been we would have we would have been moving quicker before That.

Unknown Speaker  
But Alright, both gonna

Unknown Speaker  
give me a dexterity.

Chris (Sal S)  
Check. Check. She's 10 594 Why Where did

Speaker 1  
Alright, so you start running down the street, they still have a block to go to get to you. But as you are running down the next block, you see them turn the corner And they are starting to gain on you. So you start running faster, or gonna do You're running down towards the purple goats.

Timothy (DM)  
And That's when You're cut off. You see another group of these creatures shamble out into the road That You're on. You're still about a block away from them, But you see in your now hinge between the two. One at either end of the block.

Unknown Speaker  
What buildings Are we near
