Unknown Speaker  
whole taking the three foot stick out of his ass.

Timothy (DM)  
The other three stayed back at horse as a state to exchange some heated words dripping in hurt And insecurity before everyone turned in for the night. The following evening became a night they would never forget, has a beautiful rendition of Don Giovanni turned into a massacre by parasitic organisms. Horus transformed before their very eyes, tearing asunder And splattering viscera across the hall Vladlan 's long awaited location was revealed. But not before the party was forced to flee. They first took Harbor @shadows_of_prophecy Horses now abandoned estate And then made their way to the purple goat through streets becoming increasingly overrun with horrors. And then from behind the curtain saw was grabbed And then embraced by none other than the trembling. The here. Join us as we enter the Shadows of Prophecy. Act One in the shadows, chapter 13. Broken glass. All Right, so you were all in the purple goat?

Unknown Speaker  
And I'm pretty Sure there was some tongue action. I'm pretty Sure it wasn't Just embrace

Speaker 1  
d4 has been somewhat placed back on its hinges. Salvador was able to at least finish some of the spell to repair the door And put it back on the doorframe before being grabbed by see here. Yeah, there is definitely some tongue action. But he is trembling And almost like aggressively forcing himself upon you Salvador Just like Grabbing And holding And squeezing you tightly.

Chris (Sal S)  
What? Hello, good evening. How's it going?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Who the Fuck is This? Oh,

Chris (Sal S)  
I pull back the curtain And I Yonsei This is the buzzer here. He's a bartender here.

Unknown Speaker  
What's going on?

Unknown Speaker  
I wink at Yonsei

Unknown Speaker  
I was pretty onsite. It's a house of Hanky Panky. Thank you.

Unknown Speaker  
What are those things? Salvador. What?

Chris (Sal S)  
They there is an unexplainable monstrosity abominations That are popping up in town. And they're on This level now. It's going to be Okay. We have a plan. We do? Yeah, we're gonna go find Vladlan And he's gonna help us source all Oh, That's rad.

Unknown Speaker  
Who's Vladlan

Chris (Sal S)  
He's This distinguished person on This And I pull out the flyer with a poster to the one. He's an apostate. And I use finger quotations. And he has some connection, I think to the origin of all these monsters, And he's currently hiding in the lower tier the city, Which is where we gotta go,

Speaker 2  
Which is why we came here to Maybe get your help And finding a way to lower city. There are a lot of things between us And the normal entrances.

Unknown Speaker  
And we're Sure That the lower cities safe

Unknown Speaker  
no

Kendrick (Yonce)  
safer than here at This point. And Billy Yes

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, they're they're on the road Right now.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Speaking of That, Can you finish mending That door so no one Can come in?

Chris (Sal S)  
I'll, I'll try to extricate myself from the here his arms And

Speaker 1  
yeah, so he does eventually let go of you. And You're able to make your way back to the door And continue repairing it. I do know, one way, at least down to the middle city. Some of our employees use it as back entrance.

Chris (Sal S)  
I mean, That's good for us.

Unknown Speaker  
Well, we probably should get moving quickly. Right This way,

Chris (Sal S)  
high tech guy locked the door And I

Speaker 1  
oh my gosh, I thought you were gonna timpz Here the shoulder Just like give a little

Chris (Sal S)  
I give him a reassuring a hand on the shoulder. And

Speaker 1  
so he quickly turns And runs to the back room behind the bar. Through the room were you playing cards, there is a door in the back. You didn't know where it went to before. But he opens it And it leaves into a small vestibule. And in the vestibule is a cellar door That he swings open. He throws That open quickly. And he runs down the stairwell.

Chris (Sal S)  
give chase.

Speaker 2  
Right Upri Help me with This. And I'm going to try And move a cabinet or something in the storage room in the back room in front of the door to the bar. So let's mark it a little bit. Give us some extra time. There's a big table And Buy And buy try. I mean like Just call up real

Unknown Speaker  
backup. Alright, she'll flex a little before she moves.

Speaker 1  
So as you barricade the door, Can you give me either a strength or survival check?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All of us.

Unknown Speaker  
let's do Upri And retin.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, I'm gonna do string.

Speaker 2  
Oh no. They're the same to be quite honest.

Unknown Speaker  
13

Speaker 2  
Oh, That was a cock Dyson. me do it again. 1616.

Timothy (DM)  
All Right. So you shift the furniture over And you pull it towards the door. How would you like to kind of your are you using it to pin the door into the vestibule?

Speaker 2  
The door from the bar to the back room? That makes sense. Yep. Okay, so like we're in the back room. Yep. Honestly, Just like toppling over some shelves or cabinets in front of the door.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, there's the door open inward into the vestibule.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm assuming it does.

Unknown Speaker  
let's roll for it. It does

Unknown Speaker  
work. It's against fire code.

Speaker 1  
So you shift all This furniture in front of the door. It will be another set of barricade to prevent the progression of these monsters towards you.

Unknown Speaker  
Is there any liquor on the thing we Just toppled over?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
There is no time.

Unknown Speaker  
I got hands.

Speaker 1  
There is an open bottle sitting on the card table scooped probably left there by the players last evening. You grabbed the bottle of liquor. It's unmarked, potentially

Unknown Speaker  
too late to try train.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, I'll Just take it with me.

Speaker 1  
And you make your way into the vestibule down the cellar stairs Right after the here closing every door behind me closing every door behind you. They might not know how to use doors. We Don't know. I'm going to make a series of rolls. Yeah. As you all are going to give me dexterity rolls as Well.

Unknown Speaker  
rolls or saving throw. roll. Damon?

Chris (Sal S)  
Much better for me.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
What kind of roll are we doing again?

Unknown Speaker  
dexterity.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All Right. Maybe I do have ADHD? Does Allah Jesus

Speaker 1  
All Right, we got an 18 1316 Six. Right? Do you start making your way down the stairs, And I will roll for the here as Well. All Right, solid 13. All Right. So you are all making your way down the stairs. They wind back And forth kind of hair pinning down What you could assume to be a wall of the city. The purple goat is kind of butted up against the upper tier edge. And you Don't hear any noises coming from above. As you hairpin back And forth And back And forth And back And forth. And back And forth until eventually you reached the bottom there is a wooden iron reinforced door at the bottom And the here is pressed up against it

Unknown Speaker  
I'm sorry where's yours presently reach the bottom

Unknown Speaker  
interesting looks go on around the table It's

Chris (Sal S)  
a double entendre is here

Speaker 2  
And we reached the bottom And I wanted to know who was first was the here was Sal Just kidding we Can

Speaker 1  
say here is in the lead. And he is currently pressed up against the door trying to listen through the other side is more familiar

Chris (Sal S)  
with This back entrance

Unknown Speaker  
so That That You're

Chris (Sal S)  
he's, he's listening to the door.

Speaker 1  
Yes, he's listening to the door. It is a thick door. And after a while he turns to you Just after a beat turns you And gives you kind of This like unsure grimace.

Unknown Speaker  
You're gonna then

Speaker 1  
know But to be frank. I've never done This before.

Chris (Sal S)  
You've never used This doorway. No, I've used

Speaker 1  
the door But I've never had to listen to the other side to see if they were monsters.

Chris (Sal S)  
Well, we Can crack the door open a little bit.

Unknown Speaker  
good thinking. Yeah, so

Unknown Speaker  
You're gonna crack it.

Speaker 1  
So he turns the doorknob. And slowly you hear creak open. As a small sliver appears. You Can see the light of the street lights coming through.

Speaker 4  
Oh Shit already leads out. Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1  
And he peeks on through. And after Maybe five seconds of bated breath. He slowly opens the door the rest of the way. I think It's clear. But we have to make our way through the rest of the middle city.

Speaker 4  
All Right, you stay in the middle group now sweetheart. No offense, But you Don't look at the fat And Can.

Unknown Speaker  
Failing kind.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm a bartender, sir.

Speaker 2  
All Right. All Right. I mean, like I've parked tend to before, But sorry, go ahead.

Unknown Speaker  
I Don't think he's Yeah.

Chris (Sal S)  
I'm gonna give him my shield. I mean to say This will help you a little bit if you get attacked.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
That's Love Right there. Oh, good. So you.

Speaker 1  
Ah, Thank you, Salvador. How do I hold it?

Chris (Sal S)  
I show him I like I hold up his arm And I put it on the on the forearm. And It's like you Just hold it like You're holding the like, you know those barmaids hold 13 Stein's at the big beer festivals. Yeah, It's sort of like That. You Just brace yourself like

Unknown Speaker  
That. Alright, And I grip it here. Yeah,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
like You're holding a pair of hips. Maybe

Unknown Speaker  
these are really high hips.

Chris (Sal S)  
to tall person.

Timothy (DM)  
All Right, Thank you. Um, I unfortunately, am not going to be much help through the middle city. I mean, I know the streets, But It's Just a matter of getting from one end to the other. There are other ways down to the lower city than the gondolas people who work in town. No of them.

Speaker 2  
I'll show him our map, Just so he has an idea And like, show him where the Warrens are. Since That's where we're gonna end up heading. So at least so he Can direct us in the Correct direction.

Speaker 1  
Oh, good. That's probably the best place we could hope for it to be the closest thing in lower city from where we are now. probably should get to skedaddle in.

Speaker 2  
Yeah, What is what's parade order?

Unknown Speaker  
are going for? Yeah,

Chris (Sal S)  
I'll stay in the back.

Unknown Speaker  
Because I want to be in the middle with you. I'll

I'll be second.

Unknown Speaker  
I'll be last. That's Fine.

Chris (Sal S)  
I pull on my rose to give me some more because my my AC had dropped since I gave away my shield.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you begin making your way through the lower city. How would you like to proceed? What is your approach to the situation?

Unknown Speaker  
Am I in charge?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Oh, wow.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, It's a group decision.

Speaker 4  
I think we should quickly And quietly run. Yes, I think That's the first sign of something we like slow down. get down.

Unknown Speaker  
Assess, assess.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So Upri is in the lead. And who was in the back? Me. Alright, I need the two of you to make a perception check.

Unknown Speaker  
And Upri will make a stealth check as Well.

Unknown Speaker  
That's a 14 on perception.

Unknown Speaker  
19 for me

Unknown Speaker  
an eight on stealth.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Alright, you are wearing heavy armor so It's

Unknown Speaker  
not wearing any armor.

Unknown Speaker  
Salvatore's the heavier armor armor. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker  
my abs protect me

Kendrick (Yonce)  
making a lot of noise Right now.

Speaker 1  
You know in like cartoons when they flex in it has That like kind of squeaky like rubber noise like eat? Eat,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
you may want to get That checked.

Speaker 4  
Oh, It's Just because I forgot to rub the grease on my. That's why then bodybuilders do they ungreased abs And grease as Creek.

Speaker 1  
You take off And running down these streets, You're trying to make the most direct path through the streets, Which does involve a little bit of winding back And forth as the streets typically run along the circumference of the walls. So they're kind of like tears of circles That You're running through having to make your way, sneaking a little bit. There's no like direct path up towards the next wall. And That's when Wren here's some crashing behind you all down one of the side streets That you Just passed, followed by a scream. And then silence.

Speaker 2  
The Renoir like snap his fingers to get everyone's attention because nobody's Looking at in his direction. And then like push himself up against the wall of That corner of That alleyway And then Just want to peek down to see if I Can see anything.

Speaker 1  
So as you peek you see a hoard of these monsters.

Speaker 2  
Great. I point to keep going,

Speaker 1  
Maybe seven or eight of them. At their feet. You see bodies That have been ripped from houses now dead in pools of blood on the streets.

Speaker 2

And you see This like, pink tint as they reach like, a foot away from you. And they Just crash into it. You see the little cracks in the magical barrier. All Right, Upri 22 will hit you, you know, I like I get half lame.

Because I like fog cloud. All Right, That's a 20 foot radius around me. So it covers all of us. And I'm gonna use my movement to run Right here to meet

Speaker 1  
an opportunity But with a disadvantage. That attends so That will miss And you take off sprinting, Ren This cloud of fog Just whips up quickly all around you.

Chris (Sal S)  
she's coming in behind us.

Kendrick (Yonce)

Speaker 1  
You do hiring And firing into the fog?

Chris (Sal S)  
Well, since opera is smaller, you'll have less chance of hitting.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So these are the two small does a 20 And a 11. Hit the 20 hits.

Speaker 1  
I know That 20 was with disadvantage. Yeah. damn, That will hit. So you listen for the creatures in the fog cloud. Always target as you hear them clicking.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
That's gonna do eight damage. All Right, whichever one I hit.

Unknown Speaker  
But now when you forget,

Unknown Speaker  
I Don't know.

Unknown Speaker  
I have ADHD.

Which I do. My therapist confirmed it. Ladies And gentlemen, send bills in between. Whoa, whoa.

Unknown Speaker  
Welcome to Fuck And

Kendrick (Yonce)  
You're Just a patron.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, Poconos go.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, it Can be both.

Speaker 1  
So Thank goodness, these things aren't very intelligent, because they're going to try to lash out from the cloud.

Unknown Speaker  
not I mean,

Speaker 1  
towards whoever is out there. They're Just going to try to make some attacks.

Unknown Speaker  
So But while You're in

Chris (Sal S)  
the cloud, You're You're closer.

And another, as there's like these tendrils, Just like whipping out of This heavily obscured area. Upri You're hearing these whips. They're flying through the clouds quite near you.

Unknown Speaker  
Do you want a dash?

Speaker 4  
Yeah, I'm gonna say invoke an opportunity, in Which case I'll use my action to disengage And then Just run.

Speaker 1  
That one has not used its opportunity attack yet, so it could Yes, it will. But if you want to use your actual disengage,

Unknown Speaker  
actually, I'm gonna use my bonus action first. All Right, And I'm gonna try to hit it with my ex one too.

Speaker 4  
It's gonna be a reckless attack. So it won't be because it would be a disadvantage now the regular Yeah, yeah. Does a 20 hit does it does three slashing All Right. And they owe 14 tend to be anything

Speaker 4  
I would like to point out That the text also says when I understand I think something awesome Just happened

Speaker 1

Speaker 1  
so it doesn't matter. Does it have flavor text That says you need to be able to see it?

Chris (Sal S)  
No, it says the target muscle. I Don't have to be able to see it. The target gains no benefit from cover. So Oh, even though I can't see it.

Speaker 1  
So tau guides your hand as you point it into the fog cloud. And it is a Dexterity save

Chris (Sal S)

Unknown Speaker  
I rolled a 16 so

Chris (Sal S)

Speaker 1  
because Right over your head. Yeah. And like it makes impact with something off in the distance That kind of illuminates the creature in the cloud from behind so It's lit up from behind And you see its form. It is only five feet away. As you see tentacles like flailing out the in the air behind it.

Chris (Sal S)  
And I'm gonna keep running.

Unknown Speaker

Kendrick (Yonce)  
You Okay?

Unknown Speaker  
She's still student.

Speaker 1  
All Right. There is one left. There's one more air down in This fog cloud. As you see it emerge in the streets. You all except for appraisal for Upri Can now see where it is at And it is barreling down the street towards you. Who is you? The three of you? The four of you is not

Unknown Speaker  
arranged yet.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, That's fair.

Unknown Speaker  
You all are like 100 drove away. We Don't crack our knuckles.

Speaker 1  
Alright, let's get down the door is the closest to it. Salvador make Oh, two tentacle attacks on you? It 22

Chris (Sal S)  
How far away is it for me to train so

Speaker 1  
it is Maybe 10 feet out of the fog clouds. So I think That puts it 20 feet away from you.

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, they both hit me.

Speaker 1  
Yep. But yeah, it has a long range. Its tentacles are surprisingly stretchy And fluid. Do It And it hits you. You're gonna take eight points of bludgeoning damage And become grappled.

Chris (Sal S)  
not a good Shaka Zulu here come

Kendrick (Yonce)  
to me again.

Chris (Sal S)  
He's Just sitting on the ground now.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh baby, come over here.

Speaker 1  
We're in the fog cloud. You Just got sprayed with goop.

Speaker 4  
So in my stones d8 Flash boom, explosion splatter, And then I'm like, Wow, I did That. Oh, so I'll Just run out of the cloud.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh my gosh. And did That take your action? This turn?

Unknown Speaker  
Nope. I'm uncertain at the start. Oh,

Speaker 1  
beautiful. Okay, so you run out of cloud And you emerge from the fog cloud And you see 10 feet away from you. Is the creature

Speaker 4  
Perfect? I'm gonna do a drive by because my hand axe has reached so I'm gonna throw it out with my thread does a 22 hit 22 does hit it takes six slash And damage all Right That's the third five please be something good

Speaker 1  
lash is the most dramatic laceration across its body, But it has suffered thus far. You damage And What does That hand axe do?

Unknown Speaker  
So I slash it. And the slash creates a tear in time space. Right now asterisk appears. Fall And falls on top of it. All Right, I keep running.

Speaker 1  
Is there any text about how much damage or Monoceros falling on top of you does?

Speaker 4  
I Don't think it normally it Just says That an animal appears in unoccupied space. It doesn't fall on it appears next to it.

Speaker 1  
All Right, so rhinoceros is pulled. For a brief moment you hear the sounds of jungle birds And the pitter patter of rain. You see a ray of light bursting through This tear in space And then Aaron atheris steps out into the street

Speaker 4  
And it is not under my control. It would act like a rhinoceros.

Speaker 1  
mediately freaks the Fuck out or, And begins charging at the closest thing Which is Which is so I'm actually going to roll a charge attack for That Right now.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Great, another person in the party

Chris (Sal S)  
crit. Amazing.

Speaker 1  
I Don't know the stats for the rhinoceros. And we're going to make it up Right now. I'm going to say it has a D 12 for his charge attack drugs. That sounds Right. I feel like a rhinoceros barreling towards you is probably pretty powerful. And it has a strength of plus four. let's Just call it That. That's What it is. So 11 plus four is 15 points of damage as eight Just in pagal. This creature would the bug is day, tossing it across the side of the street.

Unknown Speaker  
I Just keep running Salvador.

Chris (Sal S)  
So I got hit so And I feel my concentration saving throw. So the fog cloud dissipates.

Speaker 1  
Okay. The fog cloud dissipates. It is now a clear road. And What you now notice is behind That fog cloud down the street, Maybe two or three blocks. There's more of them. And they are coming for you.

Chris (Sal S)  
Okay, And I'm grappled by This the last one in our immediate vicinity as the

Speaker 1  
rhinoceros, you This thing across the streets, it rips the tentacle apart. You are now freed

Kendrick (Yonce)  
How convenient. I give

Chris (Sal S)  
a thumbs up to Upri And I use my action And Bo's action to continue running.

Speaker 1  
Alright, so you dash down the street away from the creature ran What are you doing

Unknown Speaker  
double dash,

Unknown Speaker  
double dash in Yunfei What do you think?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I am going to run And then do Misty step. So now I'm 180 feet away.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you all are making your way down This street Yonce's way off in the lead. Eat.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Don't get me.

Speaker 1  
Salvador grabs is a here along the way helping him along, And you all start dashing down the streets.

Unknown Speaker  
I like to think That the rhino will.

Speaker 1  
Alright. Yeah, you hear the rhinoceros is crashing into building on one side of the street, another building on the other side of the street, as it is Just lashing out at everything. You hear the squish And splat of the creature. And you put That all behind you as you run off down through the streets, you weave through down another street And start heading now again towards the lower city.

Chris (Sal S)  
Are we making good times here?

Speaker 1  
Ah, yeah, better keep a move on it. down another side street, you see a crowd of creatures, everybody make a dexterity check.

Speaker 4  
21 1211

Kendrick (Yonce)  
who wasn't the worst,

Speaker 1  
Alright. So That will pass. So you are able to pivot away from This crowd of creatures And sprint down another road. You make your way quickly to the edge of the middle city. Over here, This is one of the stairwells down. You see the here is pointing down towards a kind of small shack type of structure. Almost like a guard hut. There is a wooden iron reinforced door on the front of it. You make your way over, opens down another stairwell, back And forth And back And forth. You hairpin your way down the wall of the city. And you make your way down to the bottom. Again reaching a wooden door with AI And reinforcement.

Unknown Speaker  
We listen all Right.

Speaker 1  
When you press your ear up against it, give me a perception check.

Unknown Speaker  
18 Right.

Speaker 1  
You listen for a couple moments to the other side. And you hear chaos not in the immediate area But ringing through the lower city. Screaming crashing What do you do?

Speaker 2  
How far are we from based on the map? How far are we from the Warrens

Speaker 1  
so the Warrens are on This side of the city.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, so close ish.

Unknown Speaker  
So You're Maybe five blocks off?

Speaker 2  
Oh, so we're pretty close. Yeah, so we're gonna we're gonna sprint for it. Yeah, you went for it? Yeah, stopper. Nothing. Upri go first. Knock everything over That. You see.

Unknown Speaker  
I Just barreled through the door And start running. Alright,

Unknown Speaker  
I'm gonna have my bow ready to Knock or pin things down.

Chris (Sal S)  
Are you big Upri now are Just

Unknown Speaker  
Shit. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah. Oh, yeah, It's only a minute. Okay,

Speaker 1  
um, Right now your regular sized Upri And you bash open the door And you all take off sprinting, barreling through whatever barricades come your way. And I'm going to roll for set barricades.

Speaker 2  
Don't give me That look. Sometimes I think you Just roll dice to roll dice.

Speaker 1  
So you take off sprinting, And It's a relatively clear shot at the beginning. One block down two blocks down three blocks down

Kendrick (Yonce)  
in their bushes.

Unknown Speaker  
topia, we find pan red

Unknown Speaker  
for shorting lotteries down. And in the final block you see two towers That have collapsed into the street, a pile of rubble blocks away. And so you

Speaker 2  
turn How tall is a pile of rubble?

Speaker 1  
Two buildings worth of rubble. So It's substantial

Unknown Speaker  
to unstable. You never know. You could make

Speaker 1  
your way over it. But it would be potentially perilous so here's fire has taken to the wood And fabrics Fair enough. So do you want to turn left or Right

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I feel like left is of the devil let's go Right

Unknown Speaker  
1960s logic

Kendrick (Yonce)  
And I'm left handed so It's true

Speaker 1  
Alright Yonce's is Right And we follow up follow see turned down the street That adds three blocks

Unknown Speaker  
Oh

Speaker 1  
down one block down another you see chaos down every street fires lit up across the city screams now pinging in every direction you hear the crashing of glass, the crumbling of stone And then you see the entrance of the Warrens brilliant goodness. A fire is the only thing That blocks your way as a pole has collapsed down over the entrance with a blaze. The silk fabric burning of the banner That hung there

Unknown Speaker  
I got This And shakes our trusty hand decks last charge I Don't know. Throws it at the pole.

Speaker 1  
All Right. You throw your hand axe at the pole

Unknown Speaker  
stinking cloud

Unknown Speaker  
with the two arms done no more charges were done.

Speaker 1  
But roll for attack And damage on the pole.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh 1414 For slashing damage.

Speaker 1  
Alright, so you hear it slash into the woods. It makes That thought as impacts. And then it whips back And again it sends the shock wave up your body shaking your head Can cussing you yet again. The fire still roars

Chris (Sal S)  
so This is a pole in front of the door.

Speaker 1  
Yeah, It's basically Just It's over That the stairwell That goes down into the Warrens

Chris (Sal S)  
Okay, I mean, I guess shatter all Right. Yes, 10 Yes, 1010 feet away from it.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I grab a break And drag as I'm doing That, we really gotta get rid of That And

Chris (Sal S)  
It's a curse to do constitution saving throw, Which I Don't know inanimate objects Can do.

Speaker 1  
They technically do. It's weird. But it rolled a 10 Okay,

Chris (Sal S)  
it had to get to 16 so

Speaker 1  
Right we'll say That it does. There are actual rules about This. I Don't care to look them up.

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, It's like certain certain materials have like glasses weaken mantium And

Speaker 1  
It's Just way too nuanced. I'm gonna say a tendency Vael burning wood And doesn't it also doesn't shatter have forced disadvantage on an inanimate objects anyways, it

Chris (Sal S)  
has it so creatures are made out of stone crystal or metal have disadvantage on the Pro. Okay, so it took a total of man, That's a bummer. And I Don't have any channels of entities. So It's gonna take six points of thunder damage.

Speaker 1  
It's Just taking a total of 10 damage. I think That's enough to break the pole into the crashes down embers shoot up into the air around you. And as they settle, there is a small gap in the fire. It will be hot. You may get burned. You may get singed, But you Can make your way through into the Warrens.

Chris (Sal S)  
let's do it.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Can I use

Unknown Speaker  
That I'm understand And see That I have solved the damn

Chris (Sal S)  
true to form.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I will give you I was gonna see if I Can use elder splash to make the hole bigger. Yeah, yeah. This. I'm going to use both of them. Well, one's a crit. Wow. In the other ones in That one. Well, I actually got the spectrum. So roll

Unknown Speaker  
the crit. The nat 1 does not hit.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Oh, really? Oh.

Speaker 1  
That one doesn't even shoot out of your hand. fizzles.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
That's 10 damage. All Right.

Speaker 1  
Do you blast a hole little bigger into you blast a bigger hole into the pole And clear the way into the Warrens.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
We go, Is it big enough for us not to get burned.

Timothy (DM)  
It's big enough for you not to get burned. All Right. And now we Can go as you now make your way into the Warrens ran you notice something peculiar? Yes.

Speaker 1  
When you approach the door, you notice This kind of sinewy black tendrils, growing along the stone on the floor And creeping through the cracks of the door.

Speaker 2  
I'm a hold back everybody. And then point out the there's, something's wrong here. And I'm going to slowly push open the door not touching the blacks in YUI bits.

Speaker 1  
Give me a strength check. Oh, It's 1717. So at first the door sticks. And so you put your body into it. You hear This kind of crunch. As it cracks open. You see That? Black tendrils break around the edges snapping off And crumbling to the ground. As you push open the door to reveal a hallway covered in black And yellow, red, goopy scenarios That stretch from corner to corner, almost creating a sort of web like a tunnel Weaver spiders lair gross.

Unknown Speaker  
But Can we go through or does a block the way

Speaker 1  
it is passable is a walkover That will be difficult terrain as you step through the cords of sinew, And as you inspect them, they're oddly fleshy. You notice a cord pulsating, running down the length of the hallway, weaving in And out of the sinew

Chris (Sal S)  
above or below, like along the ground.

Speaker 2  
Watch out for That one in particular. And I point out the pulsating one. I'm gonna light a torch is dark in there it is dark. And I'm gonna hold it down to the like normal sinew, not the pulsating one or do anything like recede Maybe it doesn't

Speaker 1  
recede, But it does get singed likes skin kind of melting.

Speaker 2  
Well, I Don't want to do That because That's gonna smell gross the whole way. So,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I mean, It's too late at This point. Might as Well

Unknown Speaker  
write. I brace myself And go in

Unknown Speaker  
to the rest of you follow? Yeah,

Speaker 4  
I pushed down in front of me. Yeah, I got to hear at my side And give him back one. Level one spells loud.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, That's Great. Thank you. No.

Unknown Speaker  
Well, I'll push him.

Speaker 1  
Salvador. Are you Sure? This doesn't look good?

Chris (Sal S)  
I think we can't go back so there's can't go over it can't go under guy go Right through it.

Unknown Speaker  
into the belly of the beast, I guess.

Chris (Sal S)  
It's probably the safest place to be. Because then you Can cut your way out. Oh, And put on a real brave face because a year he doesn't know That I'm also equally terrified.

Speaker 1  
You feel his nails dig into your arm as he's like holding you on your upper arm.

Chris (Sal S)  
You've got That shield is protected you so far. And I'm here to

Speaker 4  
oh, it may to slugger And I punched him on the arm. He gets back as Well. So I Can now roll a d3 for all ability in attack actions for the next 10 minutes.

Speaker 1  
All Right. Lovely, beautiful. And he so he timidly follows you in into This tunnel of sinew And viscera of a pulsating cord resembling That of an umbilical cord.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
let's close the door behind us.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Oh yeah, I follow let's Kumbaya

Speaker 1  
And you begin to Make your way down the hall towards the Warrens. You remember the directions the turns through the mazing hallways. But there's a problem. The sinew distorts your perception of where you are. And as you make your way down the hallway where you think there should be a turn It's completely covered in Scenario

Timothy (DM)  
do we cut through you think you could cut through hopefully This is the Correct way or potentially way find through another section of the maze. Give me who's the leader ran? I am aren You're basically going to be giving me navigation.

Unknown Speaker  
Go get him slugger. And I'm gonna punch you in the shoulder too. And now you get a d3.

Unknown Speaker  
So give me a survival check survive.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Me make Sure you again I do

Speaker 2  
investigation And stead to remember That meme you

Unknown Speaker  
followed the wearing I

Speaker 1  
Can I give. You Can give me a History check to remember the way That is better than Yeah, give me a History check to remember the way if you choose to navigate Off course it will be survival or if you are forced to as Well. So That's how we'll rule This scenario.

Unknown Speaker  
You say go to d3. Yeah. That is a 18.

Speaker 1  
All Right. You are confident That This is blocking the way That if you cut through, you will surely reach another section of the hallway That leads you closer to the Warrens. You fear going off path could potentially get you lost down here with whatever lurks

Speaker 2  
Bad News Bears. let's not do That. So you got That axe yours, Right? Yeah,

Chris (Sal S)  
I pull out my pruner. Yeah.

Timothy (DM)  
All Right, And you start hacking away at it. As do you notice That Yes, each cord is cut it snaps the tension recoiling back And kind of flaps into itself.

Chris (Sal S)  
It's like a bungee cord.

Speaker 1  
Precisely, Just a the fleshy variety. And an Uzi purple goo begins to form around the lacerations starts to pull out. And you slash And slash And slash as more of these chords snap, slowly revealing the darkness of the hole behind. And eventually you create a hole large enough for the five of you to fit through.

Chris (Sal S)  
Rand, do you want to try to cauterize those open? tendrils? No, no.

Unknown Speaker  
let's Just keep going.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah.

Speaker 1  
So we stepped through the hole And make your way into a dark hallway. This one less infested.

Speaker 2  
That's Nice. I'm going to history as the way to the door to the Warrens. Hopefully,

Speaker 1  
so as you make your way through This hall, you Can see the stone beneath these chords. And That helps for a while as you make your way through another section of the maze. And you know You're getting close. And That's when from down a Right hallway, you see That growth has begun to build again now into your path forward. And you make your way into a tunnel That is even more invested than before. It is narrowed the hallway significantly to the point where you all are almost moving single file. Maybe a foots of birth on either side of your body. You have to duck under chords. Step over.

Speaker 2  
Yeah, I'm gonna keep pushing through. We got to make it there. is the path That we know.

Speaker 1  
And so you, you persist. And you make your way to the familiar entrance store of the Warren. It is almost entirely covered in the sinews And the black, almost vein like structures That have been weaving in And out of This visceral gunk. And you see That It's nearly sealed the door.

Speaker 2  
I look at the two stronger members of our party who wants This one.

Unknown Speaker  
I'll take a stab at it.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
not What the axe

Unknown Speaker  
Dorito charges doesn't know how to open the door.

Speaker 1  
So you take Fern And the others have to back up to give you room because it is a cramped space. And so you step back as much as you Can And try to swing into the door it crashes into the woods. You hear it, it splintering. So you go at it again And again. And again. As you slowly shatter a hole through the door, And then

Timothy (DM)  
the seal breaks. The doors swing open into a familiar tavern. Now empty of all But several corpses.

Speaker 1  
The cords of viscera gathering in the corners, wrapping over chairs, you see a table has collapsed under the weight of the growth. And to the Right. You notice a hole in the wall burst through the stone. Another tunnel of viscera heading down That way. You see beyond the bar in the back of the room. The door to the back rooms the store room where I knew I told you you may find a lover behind the flower on your quest to locate Vladlan

Unknown Speaker  
Oh That kind of flour.

Chris (Sal S)  
baking flour.

Speaker 4  
No isn't a baking flour. Flour. like petals? Yeah.

Speaker 2  
I want to check the bodies. One to see who they are And to to see if anyone happens to still be alive.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, give me a Medicine check.

Unknown Speaker  
Do That good. 14

Unknown Speaker  
for the d3. Oh yeah. Well, how long did it take us to get here? Has it been 110 minutes

Unknown Speaker  
15

Unknown Speaker  
It was probably more than time And Just kidding. It's

Chris (Sal S)  
1414

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you begin to check the bodies And as you do so You're immediately realizing they do not have a pulse. not a single one is a pulse. But furthermore, you've noticed That their forms have gone soft. not a rigor mortis That you would expect of a dead corpse But gushy And as you press into the skin of one of them a tear opens up in the skin And a purple goop presses out. You noticed their skin has begun to melt away. And it cinches the tips of your fingers Oh weird. This like acidic bath That has formed within the body.

Speaker 2  
Pull away really quickly. Do not touch any of those.

Chris (Sal S)  
You got boss.

Unknown Speaker  
Wise words to the backroom.

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, yeah, Sure. All Right.

Speaker 1  
So we're going to make your way into the backroom you step over are broken furniture, cords of sinew And two more corpses. And the door to the backroom is relatively unblocked. Less the body of the bartender

Chris (Sal S)  
did we see be kicked off guard or Akela as part of the

Unknown Speaker  
you have not seen their bodies amongst the dad.

Unknown Speaker  
good sound as good as there could be, I guess.

Chris (Sal S)  
Short of purple acid death monsters,

Speaker 2  
Right. Um, so I want to we push into the back room And look for flour, or or flour. I Don't know, we'll find out Which one it is. Alright.

Speaker 1  
So you move the bartenders whose name you never got. Soft, goopy body. Aside from blocking the door. A little bit of the acidic purple goo burns your boot as you do so And you crack open the door enough for you to step through. Inside is the storeroom. Untouched except for a bag of flour That has crashed to the ground, the contents spilling out a lover revealed behind the shelving system And a door That unopened would be hard to determine its location, But it is left ajar.

Speaker 2  
A hidden door with my lever in a store room.

Unknown Speaker  
The hallway behind it

Chris (Sal S)  
was not a good sign That somebody's open This.

Speaker 2  
Or it could be a good sign That somebody opened This because it means somebody from the bar might have come back here. Could be Vladlan. Could ya? Maybe Akela? get d4 Guard? Yeah,

Speaker 4  
I wonder if Akela is the one That was handling all long. Maybe? Yeah, quite possibly.

Speaker 2  
I wouldn't be surprised. Shall we proceed into the hallway?

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, you first. Oh, all Right.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. So who steps into the hall?

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, Sal taking the lead. Okay,

Speaker 1  
so as Upri And Ren lock eyes in a stalemate, Salvador steps through This unspoken conversation And makes his way into the hallway. It is dark And quiet. In This hallway, it turns to the Right. And then you see it turned to the left. But across the way you see two doors along This hallway.

Chris (Sal S)  
both closed. No more path is Just the two doors.

Speaker 1  
So there's two doors across the hall from where you enter. The hallway goes down to your Right, And then turns left.

Chris (Sal S)  
Well, open And door number one I want to left.

Speaker 1  
Alright. So you push open the leftmost door. And as you do, it opens up into a storage room you see chests of gear, clothing, especially lots And lots of cloaks with hoods in various muted tones, beige, brown, Earth toned oranges And reds And weapons. As Well as lots of other gear kind of scattered across dressers And tables in This room. You look around And you Don't immediately find any people

Speaker 2  
runs gonna quickly peruse the Where's Alright And sad room?

Unknown Speaker  
Are you Looking for something? Or?

Speaker 2  
I mean, This is like, how does it This is a non official space. So I imagine they're more apt to have like magical items And magical weapons. This particular storage room seems a bit mundane.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, give me some investigation.

Speaker 2  
But you never know. There Can be a metric item And ran again, is Looking for fancy things to use because he feels inadequate compared to his does Wren say This out loud. 24

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you begin to scan the items in This room And you realizing guess they're all mundane. And you would expect some Nothing to be hidden here. But yet you turn up Nothing. It is a equipment, lots of burglary type of equipment, lots of various rations, things That people might need rope, candles, lanterns, all sorts of things That as you start to piece it together, one could assume would be necessary to smuggle people out of the city.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
got it. Cool, Cool, Cool,

Unknown Speaker  
But Nothing magical.

Speaker 2  
That's Okay. worth a look. Nothing You're worth value.

Chris (Sal S)  
As I'm searching through, I kind of want to whisper flatline. to see if they're, Well, It's Just because I Don't want to yell their names out.

Speaker 1  
Yeah, You're Just trying to like, if they're in This room, talk loud enough That they would project enough That they would hear you talking And knowing their names, But you get no response.

Unknown Speaker  
Door number two, door number two,

Timothy (DM)  
see make your way back out in the hallway And progress on to door number two, as he pushed This one open, you find a small room with a round table in the center, no chairs. But the table is covered in papers. And the walls are covered in maps of the city. You see X's all over And notes about hidden passageways. And then on the papers, you see letters from people notes, you see a cipher laid out, as Well as several coded messages.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
This is quite the operation. Any sign of whether

Chris (Sal S)  
when doesn't I sift through the papers? I Don't know if they? It seems like something That would be sudden,

Speaker 4  
Well, we're in the lowest tier And cities Fuck And God, let's face it. Yeah. Any of these say how to get out of the city or notice? Oh, yeah,

Speaker 2  
That's a good point was probably the wind, anything near our location on how to get out of the city? On those maps? Yeah,

Speaker 1  
there are a couple passageways through the outer wall That are nearby. So as you remember, the outer wall is an older structure of the city. It's part of the original architecture. It was built initially as a defense against whatever forces would try to siege the city. But it has not been needed for hundreds of years, And has now Just become housing for the lower class in the city as Well as warehouses.

Speaker 2  
I'll take up my map And mark down a few of the assets in case we need to you know, use one. You go.

Chris (Sal S)  
Can I go back to the first room And collect a couple of flasks of oil? All Right. There were lanterns there.

Speaker 1  
There were some lanterns. Yeah. And there are flat soil. So you stock up using the stores That you find

Unknown Speaker  
Right down the hall That I guess is so agreed.

Speaker 1  
You make your way down the hall. It turns the left And continues on until there is a door at the end.

Unknown Speaker  
Hickory Creek,

Speaker 1  
a door creaks open And a light emanates from inside a room. As you peer in you see cops lining the back wall.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I heard cops.

Unknown Speaker  
That's cops

Unknown Speaker  
or weapons.

Speaker 1  
Blankets, routers, a small table with food on it And Akela Akela And brands sitting on to the COTS talking quietly to each other. As you open the door they turn to you. And Akela says Well didn't expect to see you again.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Hi, how you doing?

Unknown Speaker  
I mean, This room seems safe pushing. Yeah, there's

Speaker 1  
normal. Yeah, the room is entirely safe. They are the only two people in here

Unknown Speaker  
Ranas the hunky dory man Right? Yeah. He seems a little bit.

Speaker 1  
He stays seated as Akela gets up And makes her way over to you. Well, turns out you Can hold her home more than I expected.

Speaker 4  
Oh, you have no idea you touch my handy acts of wonder.

Speaker 1  
I must admit I underestimated you. But You're here.

Speaker 2  
Do you have any idea what's going on? Oh, yeah, we Just got caught in the middle of it. Oh,

Speaker 1  
gosh, we've been here for hours. It's so sudden. And I feel the entire lower city has been overtaken by now.

Speaker 2  
Remember city as Well? Yeah. And the city started? Fuck. Yes, Fuck.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I think Harrow is essentially lost at This point.

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah, where's been the order? We've seen nary cop or guard

Speaker 4  
ERAD Nova resistance other than people, mountain folk.

Speaker 1  
I take it they skip town the moment they realized anything was going wrong That they couldn't control

Unknown Speaker  
or the cows do Right

Speaker 1  
now, as much as I hate the order. This was not them.

Unknown Speaker  
Who wasn't thing?

Unknown Speaker  
I think you all know

Unknown Speaker  
Vladlan.

Timothy (DM)  
not Vladlan The silence. They've used the war on the apostates to their advantage quite spectacularly.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Speaking of That, Vladlan Where is he? We were told That he would be here

Speaker 1  
he was. But I'm afraid he's been taken

Unknown Speaker  
by the silence.

Timothy (DM)  
By the creatures we were discussing matters. Out in the tavern. When the first of them arrived, the creatures they attacked quickly, taking out half the patrons in mere seconds. We fled here And hid out as we heard the horrors behind the door. But not before. I saw one of those tentacle faced abominations, grab him And take him down the tunnel,

Unknown Speaker  
But not kill him.

Speaker 1  
From the sounds of his screams, he was still alive. When I saw him last,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
why would they keep them alive?

Chris (Sal S)  
While Vladlan Had he was basically in charge of This scholarly group until the silence fractured off. So it might be revenge from silence people, or the monsters are curious. And they Don't have any motives. But they Just sense This guy And they want to pick his brain.

Speaker 4  
So It's possible they're being controlled, And they might have kept him alive for other reasons.

Speaker 2  
They might need him for something is clearly important to release the original organization

Chris (Sal S)  
was the name of your boyfriend. The What was it was their last name. a hodgepodge of The Harvest were in charge of the silence.

Unknown Speaker  
Right when you have a boyfriend. A Debt Debt boyfriend. Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
we talked about This. You remember? We were drunk? We had lots of wine.

Unknown Speaker  
I remember part of it. Okay, fair enough. So sorry.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So, What You're saying is That the silence creatures took That Vladlan

Unknown Speaker  
When they're somewhere down here,

Timothy (DM)  
I'm afraid so. The creatures burst through a wall in a tavern through a tunnel That we did not know existed. They must have burrowed

Speaker 2  
Well in That tunnel in the tavern That we saw. Yep,

Unknown Speaker  
I guess That's where we gotta go.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Before we go Do you happen to have any potions any weapons That we Can use?

Speaker 1  
I do have a small reserve of potions That we've kept here in the living quarters And a measly set of weapons. Hopefully they could be of use.

Speaker 4  
I think we're good weapon was I look

Unknown Speaker  
doesn't hurt to look.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm assuming we're gonna take a quick short recess here. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1  
Yeah. So you Can all take a short breaths as you talk with Akela to gather as much information from her as she has Which is Not much. I mean, she knows This tunnel goes on, she Can describe some of the creatures to you in more detail, as she has been slowly And secretly monitoring their activity as they come in And out of the Warrens. She notes That they seem to all become aware of information at the same time That as one learns something, the rest are almost immediately notified, drive And begin to swarm. She also notes That the creatures That seem to impregnate people,

Timothy (DM)  
they run off after their deed is done, And often die within the tangle of the viscera melting back into the pool of acid That sits beneath That layer.

Speaker 4  
Whatever the hive mind is, is the one That wants Purdue

Speaker 1  
shells to note That she has seen several of those creatures transform That there seems to be some sort of rationale where some of the people are brought back And they form a sort of Cook whom they've been using the tavern the corners of the tavern, to cocoon themselves up into And when they emerge, their bodies are transformed no longer consisting of humanoid component with bones, But rather an invertebrate creature. But not all of them undergo This transformation. The remaining And majority she states are absorbed But

Kendrick (Yonce)  
fascinating. Going back to the potions how many

Chris (Sal S)  
Yonce's focused.

Speaker 1  
She has one Great potion. I'll take That. And three regular

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Christians. I'll take the Great potion.

Unknown Speaker  
Only no potions I'll

Speaker 2  
take the others. Yes, I Can administer them swiftly figured.

Speaker 1  
So as she hands over the potions of healing she then goes over to a cupboard in the corner of the room And opens it she begins rifling through various weapons various artifacts of sorts And pulls out a short sword. You see it has This black blade almost. It might be made of Onyx. It looks like And it has This like intricate flirt oily pattern going up the blade And its hilt has This like curved flora ish around the hills That is of This like Twisted Metal. That is like This bright, crimson red. And she pulls it out. And she comes over to the party. And she turns to run And she hands it over to you.

Speaker 2  
Oh, This is I mean Just It's Just beautiful. I like pretty things so

Unknown Speaker  
judging by your looks you seem the most apt to handle something like This. And for you chiefland Man I found This ring has This sim yet on it. It may assist with you.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, Thank you Akela And I take it from her And I put on my hand next to my other ring. And looks pretty Nice. I Thank you for This gift.

Unknown Speaker  
Do you feel any different?

Chris (Sal S)  
You know, I feel like there's been a door That's been opened And I suddenly know a new spell

Speaker 1  
wow And And she then goes And sits back down on the cot. Well, I wish you the best of luck I can't say I'm going to be of much use here. Also you And she points at see here. You might want to stick with me darling. You Don't look like That shields suiting you. And she grabs the shield from the here. And he Just like very Just lets her take it from him. And she hands it back to you, Salvador.

Chris (Sal S)  
How'd you know That? I gave it to him?

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, I had a hunch.

Speaker 4  
Do you have any water And I'm gonna set ferndown My baby girl is thirsty.

Speaker 1  
She motions to a table where there is a carafe of water.

Speaker 4  
Oh, Perfect. I'm Just gonna take a little bit of This. I'll Just dump some on ferns roots. She perks up a little. Her leaves are a little fuller, little brighter,

Unknown Speaker  
fascinating.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
And I Just open the chest And Just grab a random ring. See What happens?

Timothy (DM)  
Go over to the chest. And you begin rifling through Looking for things. And she's Just turned she has. I Don't think any of those other artifacts are going to be of any use. They have more. Well, less combat focused abilities.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'll describe one And see What happens. Do any of
