Timothy (DM)  
Welcome to Shadows of Prophecy, a DND real play podcast following the Elohim in the web of lives whispered by the void their names repeated in the darkness. Shadows of Prophecy is a Dungeons And Dragons podcast with violent themes And adult language listener discretion is advised. With us today to traverse through adventures of a goopy gooey purse. And lots And lots of squishy stretchy tendrils. We have myself Timothy as our ambivalent keeper of cats. Oh, Right. That's

Speaker 4  
Hi Russell. I'm playing the half arcanum Varian Upri appease upper lip

Kendrick (Yonce)  
And I am Kendrick And I'm playing the half alpha Warlock Yonce Bey, who is giving Harrow a zero out of five stars on DND Yelp. Tough crowd

Unknown Speaker  
there I mean, like,

Speaker 4  
Can you give a zero doesn't have to be at least one

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Yonce's found away found a way to make it zero.

Timothy (DM)  
Last time on Shadows of Prophecy. Through the winding streets of the city. The party raced to the Warrens screams crashes fire And crumbling stone. The city of Harrow lay waste, as the party encounters more And more monsters struggling to flee their sticky grip And forced terrain a flurry of attacks to finally escape through cells obscuring fog cloud down And down the wall they descend into in overrun lower city, And then in to And invested Warren's sin news veins And a thick pulsating umbilical cord, weave the maze of the Warrens And into the tavern. Through a now uncovered passage, they find This sultry Akela And beefcake Bram who equip them with a fancy new shinies And information on their foe as they set off after a hopefully kidnapped, not dead Vladlan they step into the tunnel Join us as we enter the Shadows of Prophecy act one in the shadows, chapter 13 Broken Glass

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you all are standing here about to step into This tunnel How do you proceed?

Speaker 2  
But I feel like we have a time crunch because he could be dead. So we should

Unknown Speaker  
go Where are you caution to the wind?

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah, Okay, torches lit torch. Alright. So as Upri jumps into the tunnel, she begins clambering over the cords of Cebu, duck ducking, stepping over sidestepping the weaving path forward And the tunnel veers the left, then to the Right. And then it opens into a larger chamber.

Unknown Speaker  
The

Timothy (DM)  
point of egress from This room is first obscured, you examine the walls your attention first drawn to the bodies, one after the other rows And columns of bodies attached to the wall. Their faces replaced by That of the tenderly face fuckers

Speaker 1  
But they're human forms Now limp And dripping with purple to

Speaker 2  
or they sleep And I Don't think so. Oh, Okay. Oh, all Right.

Unknown Speaker  
So we Don't see any way out of This chamber yet.

Speaker 1  
No, it seems to open. But the corners are bundles of cords. Everything is covered in layers And layers of visceral, red tender tendrils.

Unknown Speaker  
Ideas,

Chris (Sal S)  
pack And slash. Theoretically, there would be a doorway in like the center of these walls, And probably not the corners.

Speaker 4  
I mean, we Don't know What the architects had in mind when they were building.

Chris (Sal S)  
Yeah. Oh, Well, This This is the monster made.

Unknown Speaker  
So we Just hacked through I guess.

Speaker 4  
I'm not really I Don't really have anything to hack someone Just squish. Oh, let y'all do it. whichever hand axe Yeah, she's taken her she

Speaker 2  
can't Just use the bladed side of it. You know the blades. It's Just a pass you my my other shorts. I'm Sure you are. Simple weapon. Okay, I get to hack And I will take the Right side wall from where it came in.

Speaker 1  
So you are going to exit the tunnel into the room, And You're going to make your way to the Right.

Unknown Speaker  
I thought we were in the room already. Yeah, as

Speaker 1  
you step out into the room, you hear the squish beneath your feet, squish, squish, squish, splat. I need you to make a dexterity saving throw nine

Timothy (DM)  
as you step down into the floor, It's it bursts beneath you, you drop an extra three inches, as you are sprayed with an acidic goo. You take seven acid damage. And as you look down, you see This black tenderly, spindle, a cluster of What you had originally thought of as veins of This living structure. And then you feel it building in the back of your mind in the base of the skull where the spinal column meets your brain, This resonance, vibrate vibrating And building.

Speaker 1  
It builds to This shrill, high pitch. And you all hear it. It is pinging stabbing the back of your neck. And as you look around the chamber, you see the whole chamber is vibrating with This resonance. Oh, oh, Well.

Chris (Sal S)  
Can I grab him to yank him back out of the room?

Speaker 1  
Yeah, you grab Ron And pull them back into the tunnel.

Unknown Speaker  
We're still vibrating. Everything's still vibrating.

Speaker 1  
It continues to vibrate for a couple more seconds, And then stops.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, anyone got any win, mate? Louder fire.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, I do have like, take That spell. No, I was gonna take That fire spell. But I do have these oil flasks That I picked up from the room. We could probably light them on fire. Oh, chemical Taos. It's probably not going to cover the entirety of This room. It's kind of limited. A li Oh,

Speaker 4  
Maybe I Can take the flasks And Just do a line around the outside of the room real quick And double back And then we light it And watch it go Yeah, watch

Unknown Speaker  
your step. Oh, I'm

Unknown Speaker  
quite limber.

Unknown Speaker  
Is This What you want to attempt doing?

Speaker 4  
Yeah, I think I could take a splash or two And it'd be Fine. I Don't have Yeah, it'll be Fine. No resistance to those No. Yeah,

Speaker 1  
difficult terrains up moving slowly around the room. has been a 15 feet per six seconds.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. I want to start doing This while y'all think of real plan. All Right, give me all Right. Yeah, give

Unknown Speaker  
him basically a walking pace. Perfect. Yeah,

Chris (Sal S)  
I'll give you try to make my way To the oil flasks,

Speaker 1  
Can you give me a perception check? As you were doing This task?

Unknown Speaker  
Who is plus five now? Doo doo doo, doo doo. That's a natural one. Oh, you

Unknown Speaker  
And the whole room begins to think, do

Speaker 1  
you Okay? not really, That is not What happens. This is the wrong campaign for That way too playful. Rein it back in everyone. Because immediately as Upri sets off around the perimeter of the room, splat stumble, stumble, stumble, splat, stumble, stumble, stumble, splat.

Unknown Speaker  
Fuck, I'm barefoot.

Speaker 1  
Resonance again, sets off an alarm throughout the chamber. Everything is is vibrating. Everything is ringing. That feeling in the back of your head is like somebody took an icepick to your skull. And it Just over And over And over And over again pounding into the back of your skull. Upri you need to make three successive Dexterity save ng we're

Unknown Speaker  
all there again. Are they against things I Can see?

Speaker 1  
No, because your perception failed. Oh.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, That's a 14 on the first one.

Unknown Speaker  
fail. Four after damage.

Unknown Speaker  
That's a three.

Unknown Speaker  
fail. Three after damage.

Unknown Speaker  
That's a six.

Unknown Speaker  
And another fail. Five after damage.

Unknown Speaker  
This ain't so bad.

Unknown Speaker  
It's like a chemical bill.

Speaker 1  
You're like furs are like burning chunks of it is falling off. You have like burn marks up here lay eggs. Do you continue on?

Chris (Sal S)  
I mean, you probably. Do you want me to because I could probably shoot these things from the doorway without stepping on them.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, there are things we Can see. Know

Unknown Speaker  
why like parts And the ground? Oh, I

Chris (Sal S)  
was thinking we Can shoot things off. Yeah.

Speaker 1  
So like, the floor is covered in viscera. There's like sin ooze And goop And Just tons And tons of these black veins running through. You see the umbilical cord has now branched off in several directions. Everything is a tangled mess. You Can spot out some of these spindles throughout the room. But they are everywhere. And some of them are tucked beneath layers of spindle.

Speaker 2  
Yeah, I accept my duty is the bulky one. let's keep going. You probably

Kendrick (Yonce)  
have very bad calluses so it probably won't be That painful. Yeah, like I say It's like a chemical peel. Your feet will be very soft after This.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, hopefully not smooth through the bone.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you continue on. Give me another perception check.

Unknown Speaker  
High 1818

Timothy (DM)  
Okay, so now you slow your pace. You begin moving almost glacially stepping over chord, checking each position as you are about to set your foot down. And the rest of you watch as Upri begins to make her way around the room. Dribbling oil as she goes

Unknown Speaker  
how far do I make it

Speaker 1  
you make your way after 1015 minutes around the room. Oh And you reconnect with the party your task completes

Unknown Speaker  
all Right. Look at my skin is like soft as a baby. My flesh is a little burned.

Speaker 2  
Do you want me like white men or anything for That? night if I could help

Unknown Speaker  
Oh good for Right now. Maybe saving for an emergency. That's fair. Scars build character you know? Anyone got a lot? Oh, Right, George. Well go on scrub

Speaker 2  
house. the oil light the line of oil That we made, Alright Upri made.

Timothy (DM)  
So you put the torch to the oil And a little chunk of it takes a light the flame starts to build And you see That the sinews start to melt as the tension snaps, And they falling back against the wall, everybody

Speaker 2  
stepped back, everybody stepped back, you know, get out of the splash. So

Timothy (DM)  
it then begins to die out before catching the next section. And then That puddle of oil builds And lights And burns a chunk of the fleshy wall

Speaker 1  
And begins to sputter And I'm going to roll a d 20. to determine how Well This makes its way around the room.

Speaker 4  
I was real careful after the first three or fours mistake oops

Speaker 1  
11. So within 11 It is successful, it slowly makes its way a little clump of fire at a time around the room, melting away sections of the wall.

Timothy (DM)  
Occasionally triggering the spindles. That ice pick feeling in the back of your head, pounding And pounding And pounding the room vibrating. And aggravating the snappings of the chord even further.

Speaker 1  
And it slowly makes its way around. And That is when you hear somewhere on the other side of the wall. There are movements chitterlings

Speaker 2  
I'm gonna take my bow out, Knock an arrow

Unknown Speaker  
as it slowly reveals

Unknown Speaker  
a tunnel

Timothy (DM)  
to the Right of the room That goes deeper into a cavern system. That one seemingly empty, the noise is coming from the left. And as the fire approaches That region, you see as the sinews snap away, slowly revealing the legs of creatures standing on the other side. Can I shoot them? You may end everybody roll initiative.

Speaker 2  
I'd like to like hold my I Don't know I'm rolling two dice. like hold my arrow until they Just peek out.

Unknown Speaker  
15

Unknown Speaker  
Oh boy. Oh 21

Unknown Speaker  
Oh 1110.

Speaker 1  
All Right, so you lose an arrow run. Yes. I'm

Speaker 2  
going to aim at the you said there were how many legs?

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, so you see parallel legs. Just a single pair legs.

Speaker 2  
Can I see the body of the legs as the chords

Timothy (DM)  
are snapping And you are waiting for your opportunity to attack. You see, slowly, a fleshy purple grayish purple face with tendrils hanging down It's chest. That's all I need.

Speaker 2  
Yep. I'm gonna loosen arrow does a 19 hit 19

Unknown Speaker  
does hit Yes.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, sorry. 18 It was an 18 under 19

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, That's still head.

Speaker 2  
Okay. For those listening at home, we leveled up And I picked up the assassin archetype so because It's a surprise round I automatically crit so sorry.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh Shit.

Speaker 2  
Yes, That's true. Those cheering hours so I roll eight D six. Because It's It's two for Right normal two for my critical analysis. And then for D six for the sneak attack it was doubled. All Right. And hold on while I math.

Unknown Speaker  
LED learning EDD when

Speaker 2  
I divide 20 plus d8 36 damage their

Timothy (DM)  
fucking GMAT while oh my gosh, That's Alright so as You're like waiting for because This creature is waiting for the tendrils to clear as Well, It's watching the fire burn away the flashy walls And you have your bow drawn aiming, waiting for the Right moment And you lose the arrow And it goes straight through the facial body of the creature where you believe its core organs to exist. As the arrow pierces through, the whole form of the creature kind of crumbles in a bit as taken aback And you watch as the grayish purple pus begins to pull out around the arrow Just pouring as its body starts to slowly deflate.

Speaker 1  
On all Right, Wren is the top of initiative order. Your turn.

Unknown Speaker  
This count is another turn so I could sneak attack again,

Speaker 1  
it is a new round. Why would you have sneak attack again?

Speaker 2  
Because as an assassin, I get advantage on all creatures That I go before in the first round,

Unknown Speaker  
only in the first round dudes.

Timothy (DM)  
Yeah, I think mechanically That's true. Okay. You Just whipped two arrows quickly before I Can react.

Speaker 2  
That is That one is a dirty 20 to hit. Okay, It's not crit This time sad for me, But That's Okay. That is That the COC dice roll That again. Seven was a 25 piercing damage. My gosh. One level, one level

Timothy (DM)  
I guess This is What You're good at now is struggling you see That as those arrows make impact, its body begins to slowly deflate It's like its stature has completely crumbled in on itself. And you see the like pus oozing out. It's kind of swaying And stumbling to come to grips with What has Just happened And it is Yonce's tune.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All Right. So What I am going to do is I'm going to look at the ring That i semi stole And put my hand over it in the sense the magic That's in it And when to kiss the ring And then automatically I feel it transformed from the roaring lion to the proud RAM And I'm Just going to point it at the face fucker That has been hit twice by Iran And then I'm Just going to shoot a blast at it. And This is the the ring of the RAM. The ring produces a spectral RAM head And makes its attack role was seven plus bonus. So

Unknown Speaker  
to make an attack roll add seven

Kendrick (Yonce)  
That's going to be 11. So does not 11 is

Timothy (DM)  
going to miss so you see a spectral RAM missed out of the ring And immediately charged off in the direction towards the creature. But unfortunately, It's going to Just get stuck in the viscera And smash into the wall nearby the tunnel yawn What the bug

Unknown Speaker  
was, excuse me?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Where'd you get That That That That was a That was the tester That was a tester And I guess with my bonus action since I've done Nothing I am going to

Unknown Speaker  
do it again do it again. I'm

Kendrick (Yonce)  
not going to miss the step But I am going to hex so as a bonus action you Can do plus for psychic damage too. So you would need to know I think It's automatic

Speaker 1  
hacks for any subsequent attacks. So if you land an attack on the to do damage you add an additional damage dealt to it

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Alright then nevermind then I cannot do anything I am still learning.

Speaker 1  
You Can hex it This round And then That will take an effect next time you do damage to it.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All Right, then I will hex it now.

Speaker 1  
All Right Well the creature finally recovers from the initial attacks And it locks eyes with you aren

Timothy (DM)  
you see a ray of sciatic energy pulse from its third eye or in the center of its forehead That towards you 21 will hit

Unknown Speaker  
center You're talking about

Unknown Speaker  
glancing blow

Unknown Speaker  
I need to get some extra days

Chris (Sal S)  
thrown D 12.

Unknown Speaker  
I guess the enemies leveled up to the DM is smiling away too much Right now

Speaker 1  
they are detail gems You're gonna take 21 psychic damage me as you feel your brain pressing against your skull Upri It's your turn

Speaker 4  
bullshit That was weird But you look Fine ran explains it all All Right I'm gonna run in And a wall But I'm not going to rage because I'm gonna say if my last race for some That And

Unknown Speaker  
as a reminder it is difficult terrain every month.

Speaker 4  
15 to 20 feet you get 20 feet Am I close enough swamp

Speaker 1  
20 feet is enough to make your way across the room And Just barely reach it

Speaker 4  
Cool. Gonna reckless attack from our first swing or to hand in fern. That is a 23 to hit.

Unknown Speaker  
That'll do it

Unknown Speaker  
That was

Unknown Speaker  
math is hard. Math is hard.

Unknown Speaker  
12 bludgeoning damage for the first weighing.

Speaker 1  
We've been giving it all day you said 2012 Okay,

Chris (Sal S)  
Okay. I'm going to scooch in where I Can crouch down And get a shot off on it. I'll pull out my crossbow. And I'm gonna aim for its face. Oh, That's gonna be a 14 Which I Don't think It's

Speaker 1  
a 14 does hit

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, Okay. Well let's see how much This does spreading It's a total of two piercing And one thunder damage.

Unknown Speaker  
So your little dinky lightning bolt hits it, But it is still standing. And That is when

Unknown Speaker  
Upri

Timothy (DM)  
Just he didn't see them at first hidden in the viscera of the walls. They weren't out in the tunnel. But now you see them flashing in the corner of your eye jumping at your face.

Unknown Speaker  
What are they flashing?

Speaker 1  
Okay, so they are going to jump at you. The two little octopus like tentacle monsters. The faith fucker yours And one will hit you square in the face immediately wrapping its tentacles around your neck you feel It's squeezing on your vocal cords pressing in your voice box And you cannot breathe you cannot see And the rest of you see This thing wrap itself around a breeze face where backup to run

Speaker 2

Speaker 2  
Well, I'm gonna chug a potion of healing. It's 2d four plus two. So That's eight healing, Which doesn't feel like a lot, But will probably help me a little bit in the end. And I'm running with my new fancy sword to help my friend. Oh,

Timothy (DM)  
as You're running in That direction, you see the one That mist Upri is now scurrying through the cover along the side of the wall. So it comes in And out of vision. But you see That it is making its way around the perimeter of the room.

Unknown Speaker  
How high up is it?

Speaker 1  
About halfway up the wall, Which is about 10 feet up.

Speaker 2  
Okay, so I can't reach it from the floor. In Which case I'm going to run up And I'm going to flank the standing one. I'm gonna assume the Upri Can tear That thing off of her face on her own. She's strong like That. So I'm gonna flank the the one That

Unknown Speaker  
is not flanking if Upri Cannot see

Speaker 2  
Oh, because It's not posing. Then I'm Just gonna get up next to Upri And stamp out the one not the thing on the face because That was a bit too spicy. But I'm gonna try And get the attention of the other thing. That the one That was in its face. Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
Okay. Do you remember the humanoid

Speaker 2  
creature? Yeah. Oh, I Just roll one dice because fantage sad me. Does a 16 hit?

Unknown Speaker  
Yes, it does.

Speaker 2  
Okay, Okay. Okay, This is my new fancy sword. Which does 1d6 piercing And one D eight necrotic damage That is nine plus nine is 18 damage in total. Three of Which is necrotic damage. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. Finish it.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, Cool. I'm Just gonna cut its head off.

Speaker 1  
Right? Simple, easy to use, Just slash into it lobbing its head off. It falls to the ground. You watch as the gray ooze pus spills out the base of its neck. And That creature falls over to the ground. Next step was That's Yonce's Me Yonce.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All Right, since I'm getting tired of these face, fuckers, I'm going to use cast banishment. And since It's at the Fifth Level, I Can cast it on an additional creature. So I'm going to I'm going to try to banish both of the Facebookers All Right.

Unknown Speaker  
I hope Nothing happens because It's

Unknown Speaker  
Just vanishes from your throat.

Unknown Speaker  
a saving throw.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Yeah, a charisma saving throw.

Unknown Speaker  
Number 17.

Unknown Speaker  
Nope. So it fails. So

Unknown Speaker  
And a three.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Oh, so That one succeeds. So one is now banished.

Speaker 1  
The one on Upri space is the one That succeeded.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Of course. That sucks. I'm sorry.

Unknown Speaker  
It's sucking Right now.

Speaker 5  
Okay, so I've been I've now vanished one into another plane of existence. And It's gone. I placed some hex on the one That's now destroyed. I'm Just gonna place a hex on the one That's on your throat next time. So That is all I Can do. I end my turn. All Right.

Unknown Speaker  
That brings us to Upri

Unknown Speaker  
What Can I do?

Speaker 1  
So you Can attempt to attack it. It is on your face. You Can try to pull it off.

Unknown Speaker  
let's pull it off.

Speaker 4  
Throw it to me. Commander. como lo needs to breathe. What am I What am I pulling it off with? What am I adding?

Unknown Speaker  
You will use a string

Unknown Speaker  
Perfect

Unknown Speaker  
14.

Timothy (DM)  
A 14. We'll do it. But as you pull it off, you realize That it had gotten one of his tendrils down your throat And you start to feel it rip up here throat slicing inside Don't stop as soon as you want to stop. Ah.

Unknown Speaker  
Because then you'll bleed to death.

Chris (Sal S)

Speaker 1  
All Right. So as you rip it out, you have This searing pain up your throat as it slices up your throat you are going to take Cool 21 points of slashing damage.

Unknown Speaker  
I imagine I Just vomit blood as it comes.

Speaker 1  
But it is no longer on you. You Can see And you throw it to the ground. That brings us to Salvador.

Chris (Sal S)  
Okay, you know the drill gonna do a sacred flame. It's got to do dexterity saving throw. Alright, gotta beat of 17

And like toss it somewhere? Okay, yeah, I shoot out the air like duck on. Right? You said how much damage took a total of 10 Radiant.

Speaker 1

Unknown Speaker

Speaker 2  
Oh, then I'm free. Are we flanking it?

Unknown Speaker  
20 piercing damage to necrotic. That's Cool. All Right.

Speaker 2  
Oh, when Don't I heal with the sword? Isn't That a thing?

Timothy (DM)  
That is something you Can choose to do. So as you stab into the creature you watch as not blood But a yellowy bile liquid kind of wraps around the sword almost like pulled out like blood Bender style from the body of the creature And it goes And absorbs into the hilt. You Can store That one D eight. Or you Can absorb it into your body through your arm. Oh,

Speaker 2  
That's gross, But I'm gonna absorb it. And Can I read Colonsay absorb the last attack to on the What I chopped off the head of the chair. Okay, Cool, because I'm suffering And could you Is the help.

Unknown Speaker  
it gets the 21

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Lord Jesus Christ, already hexed it so I can't do another hex so That is all I Can do.

Speaker 1  
All Right. Furthermore, when you see That it gets splattered with a poison spray. It doesn't react.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Well, I may have to choose a different poison.

Unknown Speaker  
Pick your poison. Yeah.

Speaker 1  
And then it fallings itself into the air This time after Ren no no

Timothy (DM)

Nope. So with another repeat performance to another 10 points or radiant damage for This thing.

Timothy (DM)  
All Right. Um, do you see That it is burning with radiant energy. Its body is starting to shrivel as the ooze is basically raining down on you all as It's been flung up in the air And shot with This radiant spell come bringing us back up to Wren

Speaker 2  
so It's in the air And It's And I have advantage because of radiant no sacred flame That's guiding bolt This

Chris (Sal S)  
is Just a regular What a shame I'll

Unknown Speaker  
Just attack it normally then we're playing Shit does a 14 hit

Unknown Speaker  
a 14 does head brilliant.

Speaker 2  
Oh I'm in This one And This one And I Don't get my sneak attack damage But That's Okay damn Well Maybe roll This fauna get Nice Tilton. Okay, That is not Great damage. Hopefully It's enough for necrotic damage Which I will heal myself with. And then is 11 piercing damage.

Speaker 1  
So as you shoot This arrow through its body stab it sorry.

Speaker 2  
I want to run up is it if it doesn't die? Do I get to finish it?

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, please finish it. Okay,

Speaker 2  
I Just want to run up And stick my sword out so it lands on my sword Well. I have two bonus action dash to get there quick enough as Well.

Timothy (DM)  
So you run up you skewer its body it falls to the hilt of your stored limp And you feel a slight burn on your hand as the acidic blood drips on you. Casually fling

Unknown Speaker  
it off This blade.

Unknown Speaker  
You're out of combats

Speaker 4  
Upri immediately kills over costs a lot of blood. Fuck That thing.

Speaker 2  
Oh, here here, come over here And I'm gonna I'm going to spend an experience superiority dice to administrate so You're gonna get at nine points back. Perfect. So

Speaker 5  
at least the cuts have now scarred over Yeah, do give

Speaker 4  
me some antiseptic some throat spray they put Right here And a

Unknown Speaker  
little bit at let's level like @shadows_of_prophecy like drinkable aloe. Oh recolor like suits And cools the cuts on your throat.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All Right, we should probably get out of here before That second phase feller comes back from where rice

Unknown Speaker  
so banishment last for how long? A minute.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, Oh,

Speaker 1  
And It's regardless of the plane It's sent to.

Chris (Sal S)  
If It's from if It's native to another plane, if it stays there, It's It's there for the minute That it stays there.

Speaker 1  
All Right. You Don't know for Sure. But you suspect That This could potentially be from another plane.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I suspect That This is from another plane so

Unknown Speaker  
hard to tell.

Unknown Speaker  
We should get going before we find out though.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Yes, But I'm pretty Sure if it is from another plane. He'll stay there. So will we? We should we should still go. Yeah.

Speaker 2  
So we got on the empty hallway or the hallway That they were in. I think the hallway That they were in because I imagine they're protecting.

Speaker 4  
Yeah, if It's a half man, That would probably set up defensively.

Chris (Sal S)  
Are you doing Okay?

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, Just It's gonna take a look.

Speaker 2  
I took out another little bottle of This. This should at least double the pain. Oh, they drink it. You got That whiskey. We still do. Oh, yeah, here we go.

Unknown Speaker  
And I'm probably burned going down. Your I

Speaker 2  
do one than the other one than the other. Yeah. All Right. So we go down the hall where those things were. All

Speaker 1  
Right. So you make your way about 20 feet before you notice the tunnels branch to the left And to the Right.

Unknown Speaker  
Do we hear running?

Chris (Sal S)  
We listen down all all.

Timothy (DM)  
You listen down the hall And at first you Don't hear anything distinct. I mean, there's This throbbing cord That runs down both hallways.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh Shit, we gotta follow the code word.

Timothy (DM)  
And you hear the sounds of dripping. You hear random echoes down either hallway. And then you hear something That feels almost like a heartbeat. Pumping vibrating through the air. Full body sensation as the air is moved with This low resonant tone

Unknown Speaker  
we can't tell the direction though.

Speaker 4  
both Maybe they both lead to the same place. That's true.

Speaker 2  
Oh, these are the the pulsing chords. One is there a direction of the pulse is like energy or things coming from like one side to the other. And two, are those two connected together? So It's like are they leaving Danny And fail

Unknown Speaker  
And is the cord full of goo

Unknown Speaker  
That's an @shadows_of_prophecy one Which is a one.

Timothy (DM)  
So you do remember That the cord had branched off in That previous chamber And you saw That the cord kind of came together at each of the tunnels And was thicker as it entered each of the tunnels almost like it branched off into the room to various sections of the room itself.

Speaker 1  
But you can't make out a direction And flow of any fluid That could potentially be inside

Speaker 4  
Well ran time to cut the cord And see Which one oozes out fluid

Chris (Sal S)  
slash know You're doing it now I take I take my axe And I cut one of the cords

Speaker 1  
see slash down on the cord Can you give me a dexterity saving throw? Oh Shit 16 Oh Shit You're Ender pass And take half damage Oh shoot

Speaker 1  
18 have to nine as You're sprayed with acidic goop

Unknown Speaker  
But Which does the goop

Speaker 1  
sprays quickly And then stops And slowly pools out of the tube from whence you came Just a little bit And stops as That section of the chord stops beating. You watch as the other section of the chord quickly cauterizes itself And continues to beat.

Unknown Speaker  
We go That way. Yeah, the one That still beaten.

Unknown Speaker  
That left her Right.

Chris (Sal S)  
Well, I think where we came from was cut off so we Don't know if It's left or Right.

Unknown Speaker  
We didn't cut at the Right spot.

Speaker 1  
You could try again further upstream within one of the brain punches. All Right,

Unknown Speaker  
do you think I get hit with an arrow from far away? Why I need it from

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I have a rope And I have a dagger. So What I Can do is tie the rope to the dagger And throw it And pull it back. So it avoids damage. Yeah, am I allowed to do That? You Can. So I'm going to do That. So I want to take the rope out of my backpack That I have This entire time, But YOLO And I'm going to tie my dagger to it And then I'm going to kind of Scorpion style, throw it at it over here Exactly. More like stay over there. I'm gonna throw it And then I'm going to swing up so it does a cut And then return the dagger to me.

Timothy (DM)  
Alright, give me an attack without proficiency because This is kind of a makeshift situation That you have. That is. So It's a D 20. Plus your deck plus your deck.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Okay, so not the plus seven. What's my decks? I think It's three. Yes, it is. And That's a six

Speaker 1  
or Alright, so your first throw fails. I'm going to try again.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm gonna try it again.

Unknown Speaker  
Do you want me to try to get back

Unknown Speaker  
in?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I think I'm too proud at This moment. Okay. That is a 1414

Unknown Speaker  
not gonna hit.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Third time's a charm. runs over here tossing six. You Can do it. Go ahead, Ron

Unknown Speaker  
Just gonna throw his dagger when he's going to analyze it first. Cuz That helps me. And does 24 hit?

Timothy (DM)  
Yes. Sorry. 20 Derek goes into the cord sticking out. You see a spray of acid shoot out of the cord. And then you watch as it begins to cauterize itself. The dagger sticking out of the cord.

Unknown Speaker  
It didn't slip through the cord. All Right, I got This.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm Just gonna go up. Take your dagger. Try to save it.

Speaker 1  
Alright, give me a dexterity saving throw.

Unknown Speaker  
Is it again? Something I Can see. Yes. 14

Unknown Speaker  
a fort 14 will do it. Oh, Thank

Unknown Speaker  
God because I'm at 60 nanthealth to halftime,

Unknown Speaker  
But you will take after

Unknown Speaker  
I forgot already.

Unknown Speaker  
18 have Denine. Again, work.

Unknown Speaker  
So exfoliation.

Timothy (DM)  
So This time you slice through the cord. Two ends. You are up past the branch. And you watch as it pours out a little from both ends. And then cauterizes both sections still beating.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right. Any humanimal Yeah.

Speaker 2  
Yeah. Hated here. let's go Right. Yeah. Because Right will take us farther into the cave. If we go left or still we're headed back towards where we came from. Oh,

Chris (Sal S)  
depending I felt like we could change.

Unknown Speaker  
Winding natural cavern. It took us

Unknown Speaker  
a while to get here first. That's true.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I feel like both ways will lead to where we need to go. If they're both beating. That's fair.

Unknown Speaker  
Right? It is going Right?

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you follow This tunnel on further to the Right.

Timothy (DM)  
And it whines back And forth for about 200 yards before opens up into another chamber.

Speaker 1  
Again, bodies, bodies, bodies pinned to every inch of the wall. Now overlapping layers of corpses half absorbed melted, their features lost their forms, goopy And soft.

Timothy (DM)  
And there are two points of egress. One you could assume would have been the left pathway entrance into This chamber. Now meeting back up the other continues on towards the heartbeat growing ever louder, vibrating deeper And deeper into the core. of your being. And you see That cord getting thicker And thicker as more branches from This chamber. Meet it. Well, let's go

Unknown Speaker  
That way. Yeah, to the heart to the heart. I'll give This thing a myocardial infarction.

Unknown Speaker  
How did you know That?

Unknown Speaker  
That's the only thing I know though.

Unknown Speaker  
That's Correct, though,

Unknown Speaker  
who is leading the way?

Unknown Speaker  
I will.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I mean, you have less hit points than I do I have 71 plus a temporary so I will lead.

Speaker 1  
Alright, give me a perception check Can say

Unknown Speaker  
That's a 15.

Timothy (DM)  
All Right. So again, you notice these bundles of almost like brittle starfish in bundles of This veiny material collected in sections along the floor. But you notice them And make your way around weaving through the room, avoiding them until you reach the other side. You step into a very short tunnel That quickly opens up into a very large chamber. You notice the bodies on the wall are still present here But something immediately is noticed as distinct And different from before

Unknown Speaker  
these are not goopy.

Speaker 1  
These are not half melted these Don't even have their faces ripped off. replaced by the parasitic creatures you've been fighting one face in particular Yonsei you recognize? No, it is Alice pero unconscious eyes closed. You see her red hair

Speaker 4  
Yonce's Never met Oh, I've never met those Pam Pena. Upri Oh,

Chris (Sal S)  
Maybe you have heard Right. From

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Alice's the is the adventure with the mushrooms I've never met

Speaker 1  
her Nice her from a breeze descriptions. Oh, red hair is striking.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Oh, Okay, now That You're saying it That way I Can. Holy Shit. Is That Alice?

Timothy (DM)  
And as Yonsei calls your attention to it Upri You spot her as Well. Oh, up against the wall. Next to Don't you dare a balding man.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay. Wait. A beard.

Speaker 1  
You've never met him in person, But he kind of looks like the drawing through the wanted posters. Oh. Could That be Vladlan Purdue the posters do not do him justice. do hear too much Just

Speaker 1  
zij is drooping. As his head is kind of flipped over to the left. But the cords hold him And Alice pinned up against the wall. But That is when your attention is drawn elsewhere in the room. As You're slowly inching forward. You realize the source of the heartbeat. In the center of the room. There is

Unknown Speaker  
a postulate Ulus

Speaker 1  
almost arachnid in form creature a giant monstrosity with 10 rolled legs. Wrapping around sections of the room. It's bogus.

Unknown Speaker  
Cara PES

Timothy (DM)  
touching the ceiling of This chamber Maybe 30 feet up And It's black. Beady eyes hundreds of them. Staring the two of you down. You feel the pulsing of the room That heartbeat shaking your body as you watch one after another of the little black octopus Facebookers pop out from the rear section of This creature in little sacks of phlegm everybody roll in

Unknown Speaker  
Wait Can ask real perception to see if Sigourney is anywhere?

Unknown Speaker  
New their new huset Gorny oh no local Weaver corny.

Unknown Speaker  
We Love you. Why

Unknown Speaker  
Don't I do why Don't I have an 18 Because

Speaker 4  
You're seeing me roll with advantage. I mean 16 989

Speaker 1  
And I'm gonna roll physical dice for those because it feels Right, Right.

Chris (Sal S)  
And save big spells.

Unknown Speaker  
good. Yonsei

Timothy (DM)  
as you stare into those black, beady eyes, your own eyes feel as if they glaze over And you almost feel like you fall into the black abyss?

Speaker 1  
Oh, no. And, as you hear a voice you all hear you hear This chorus of voices in unison

Unknown Speaker  
Joe Joy Joy.

Speaker 1  
Joy when you watch Yonce's Your Vision falters, you feel trapped between two worlds the reality of your external world And the reality of your internal world. You have flashes of blades crumpled body twisted

Unknown Speaker  
crushed, lifeless.

Timothy (DM)  
And as This voice continues to ring throughout your mind, you watch as blades body begins to animate. As it D crumbles it cracks And twists in so many abnormal ways. As you notice. Pieces of him replaced by other appendages foreign of his body Can have Frankenstein together twisted And mashed into his form. As you blink you feel your body tense And welling with anger you find yourself back in This room in the present moment. The present place staring down This creature knowing That it has some connection with whatever the facts stole blades from you, whatever facts stole Upri from you. Whatever the Fuck continues to threaten, Just steal everyone in your life from you.

Unknown Speaker  
What would you like to do?

Speaker 5  
As I am Looking deep into the eyes of This queen bee or queen spider. I'm going to plant my feet down. shoulder width apart, get very comfortable. I'm going to outreach my hands And my eyes start to turn red as I summon in admiration aberration I Don't know how to pronounce That word aberration.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Alright, so I'm going to cast That And That I bring back in a parent's spirit And It's going to be a star spawn And it will attack after me each turn has hit points of 60 in armor class of 16 And a speed of 30. So, as my eyes glow red, you see through the black goop something peek out, like rip out like a like That person, an alien That alien an alien. And it swirls up And then you see claws you see the eyes of a teal. And you Just hear it roar very voraciously. Oh my god, It's somebody Shit. Y'all get down.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you conjure up This aberration the stars spawn, And it is This guttural? Roar. It lets out into the chamber. It would echo if it wasn't covered in so much viscera absorbing the sound in This room. It's Great sound And What does d4 Summon do

Speaker 5  
after my turn is starts to do things. Okay, But before I end my turn, I am going to displace a hex on the spider. I'm Just going to name it. Melissa mandalas.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I may change the name every time. I'm Just gonna play some hex on it Just because so it does extra damage every time I attack it. Alright,

Speaker 1  
so you point your finger at This creature And you heck fit.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
And as I'm Hexing. I'm saying This is four blades. And then That is the end of my turn.

Speaker 1  
All Right, so That brings us to your summon.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Yes. So at the start of the aberrations, turn hold I gotta go back to the do to do hold up. Some scary sound effects here scary sound effects here. So at the start of its turn. Exactly. At the start of his turn, it does a whispering aura. So at the starter each of the aberrations turns, each creature within five feet of the operation must succeed on a wisdom saving throw against your spells, DC or take to D six psychic damage. Alright,

Speaker 1  
so do you send your aberration at the creature yet within five feet? Yes. Okay. So at the start of each of your aberrations, subsequent turns That will happen.

Speaker 5  
Even I think at This point, I guess if I moved it then Yeah, after every other turn it will. All Right. And then It's going to do a psychic slam the whispering or is at the start of the turn. But the actual action is a psychic slam. Which means it attacks your spell attack modifier to hit reaches five feet one creature is And That's one dA plus three plus my spell level psychic damage.

Unknown Speaker  
All Right, does it make an attack?

Unknown Speaker  
Yes.

Unknown Speaker  
Can you roll for our attack?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Your spell attack modifier to hit Which is an eight. So does a 24 hit?

Speaker 1  
A 24 does indeed hit

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Alright. So That's one dA plus three plus dispels level psychic damage with I Don't I do That fifth level. That'd be the level. Yeah. All Right. So five plus three is eight plus four is 12. psychic damage. In addition, I guess my hexes for me not for it. So they're my

Unknown Speaker  
Correct 12 sec. Yes. All Right.

Speaker 2  
Well, we're all Just getting to be like, what's going on the

Timothy (DM)

Unknown Speaker  
Oh Shit. We're gonna free she

Unknown Speaker  
begins to heal.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So we need to cut out Vlad And Alice. How many bodies are technically in the room?

Unknown Speaker

Chris (Sal S)  
While It's like wallpaper

Speaker 4  
both. Yeah, the theater was like What?

Speaker 1  
You see her limb appendages That are at first lying on the floor motionless. They begin to lift up into the air And she begins to flail them around the room targeting each of you. 20 will hit Upri

Unknown Speaker  
Which Just feels like bludgeoning damage though

Unknown Speaker  
crits will hit Yonsei

Speaker 4  
I am going to use my reaction to pull strings, puppet threads And pull the attack That's about to hit Yonsei invoking disadvantage. All Right.

Unknown Speaker  
Well, Thank you.

Unknown Speaker  
And 18 will still hit young or at least a 17 will hit Ren dammit. But a 17 will not hit Salvador

Chris (Sal S)  
19 though,

Unknown Speaker  
Right? Hey, she'll back.

Speaker 1  
Alright, so the three of you are Just whipped across the room with these tendrils.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
still about to lose a lot of points because I have a bunch of reactions now.

Speaker 1  
And you are pinned to the walls. She then wraps around Upri And pulls her back in towards her

Kendrick (Yonce)  
since I got hit. Can I use This to do a count her spell? not account Wait hold up Continue talking to him on

Speaker 1  
counterspells for spells. This is a physical attack. She pulls Upri back in towards her. And then I need you to make a wisdom saving throw

Unknown Speaker  
or taking damage from any hit.

Speaker 1  
No. She Just pushes you each into the wall. Painting you grappling both Yonsei And Rennes roll

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Noooo so I can't do my reaction of hellish rebuke.

Speaker 1  
No because you haven't taken damage. So Can she pulled Upri in towards her to be face to face with her. And That is when you feel the charm set in over your body.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh no,

Speaker 1  
you are now charmed by her. And you regard her as the Queen, a matriarch to be heated And protected. After charming you She sets you back down on the ground And turns you around to face your party. Her safety is of critical importance. You must do everything in your power to protect her work. If she or any of the hives bomb, do something harmful to you. You Can repeat your saving throw. Where otherwise, your effect lasts for 24 hours or until the queen is destroyed.

Chris (Sal S)  
This includes psychological harm

Tell me about your mother.

Speaker 1  
beautiful. And That's return. Ren, What would you like to do? You are pinned to the wall grappled by her

Speaker 2  
Right. I'm going to do something spicy And I'm going to use one of my What do we call them? What are they the fun are fun corruption abilities. What are they called again?

Unknown Speaker  
Your soul class

Speaker 2  
spells I'm going to use the soul class spell meld form on her.

Speaker 1  
All Right, the language That's now for our listeners you

Speaker 2  
gain an attribute of the target creature resulting in a temporary feature part of the DMS discretion. If the attribute results in a manifestation of an extra appendage based on the creatures attack, This appendage operates on its own turn, But it shares initiative, potentially granting you an additional tack each term such as a tentacle attack. And then it goes into the AC of the appendage And if I lose the appendage, etc.

Speaker 1  
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. So as you cast This spell on her arm You're gonna gain one of her tendrils, it bursts out of your chest is now an extra attack with a plus eight eight And it uses a D 12. For the purposes of your absorption,

Unknown Speaker  
absorption,

Speaker 1  
your absorption of it do you take on This feature?

Unknown Speaker  
Right What does it do 12 do

Unknown Speaker  
with ID 12 for

Unknown Speaker  
damage over damage plus anything

Speaker 1  
plus your strength modifier

Speaker 2  
Can I treat it like a weapon as so if I analyze something I Can use intelligence instead?

Speaker 1  
No, But it does have proficiency in the way That it operates.

Unknown Speaker  
How long is it

Unknown Speaker  
as a reach of 50 feet

Unknown Speaker  
50 feet down the hallway.

Speaker 1  
Remember how these are all stretchy, gooey, gooey, lovely beautiful tendrils of Abrons properties

Speaker 2  
Yeah, so That's What That was my action I my tentacle bursts are like a tendrils It's not even a tentacle Just like

Speaker 1  
you Can also grapple creatures your size or smaller instead of doing damage. Okay,

Speaker 2  
sounds good. Um, the good thing about That is That part of This the the I guess Boonah from the stability is That I have advantage on attacks against features That I have used malformed on Yes so I permanent advantage on her, Which is Great. I'm gonna use my off hand to stab the leg with a dagger That is on me for as my bonus action all Right, Which I have advantage on now. Does a Oh, I didn't analyze her yet. That's Okay. Does a 23 hit?

Unknown Speaker  
He 23 We'll hit Yes.

Speaker 2  
Okay, so That's I had my Sneak Attack Damage in there But I think That's it Great. That is 457 piercing damage.

Speaker 1  
All Right. You jab into the 10 roll pass oozes out of it But it does not let go

Speaker 2  
And I'm also get sorry I keep going. I'm also going to lacerate it I'm going to use one of my security dice lacerated so it takes an extra one piercing damage And it has to make a constitution saving throw. All Right. I lied. Sorry. I'm going to neuro block it.

Unknown Speaker  
Neuro block it What does That do?

Speaker 2  
It can't heal until my turn some until my next turn. beautiful. Alright, repeat.

Unknown Speaker  
So no laceration,

Unknown Speaker  
no lacerations to make the constitution saving throw

Speaker 1  
out from one point of damage adult Yes.

Unknown Speaker  
Yes, it does get back.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you neuro Blanca, And it cannot heal on the start of his turn.

Speaker 2  
And sorry. So sorry. I have a lot of questions. This tentacle? Can I wield a sword with it? No, Okay,

Speaker 1  
fair. It does its physical thing. It kind of operates with your will, But independently, so you Don't control it per se. But it operates with your intention. Gotcha. So

Speaker 2  
it doesn't like get advantage in the way That I Can advantage. That's Okay, then I'm gonna use it to pop it in the face. Because it Can reach That far. Yes, they Can pass it does a natural one hit. I'm gonna. I'm Just gonna give up. That's it. That's my whole

Speaker 1  
hard part. like Right between two bits eyes. And he doesn't seem to get through the like thick care of pets around its body.

Speaker 2  
It's also acting a little erratically because I'm not quite Sure What to do with it yet.

Speaker 1  
Yeah, so I'm going to use another legendary action at the end of your turn. Great to shoot a blast of cyanic energy at you. A main team will hit so I'm gonna roll some days.

Unknown Speaker  
15 psychic damage. Okay. And That brings us to Salvador.

Chris (Sal S)  
Well, you have to deal with wisdom saving throw because you used to soul spell? No, Right. Please

Unknown Speaker  
do That now.

Unknown Speaker  
18 So we're good. Yeah.

Speaker 1  
All Right, That passes so who do not feel the pool of the corruption overtaking your body today?

Unknown Speaker  
What if I did?

Chris (Sal S)  
I'm gonna I'm gonna position myself so That I'm in range of Upri And the spider lady is on the ground or she's still floating. Melissa she takes

Speaker 1  
up the room. Oh, like she is gigantic. She is three feet tall.

Speaker 2  
Perfect when sitting on the ground And sitting on the ground. A little bit. Yeah,

Speaker 1  
she cannot stand in This room. Oh, she's always she's always shoot her body is stationary on the ground.

Chris (Sal S)  
Gotcha. Okay, yeah. No running for her for now. I'm going to use one myself spells on her And I'm gonna cast frightening swirling dream. Oh, she has to do with some saving throw And Upri also has to do with some saving throw. Oh nat 1,

Unknown Speaker  
so to

Unknown Speaker  
That's probably good. And Nice.

Chris (Sal S)  
So you both fail. So you are now frightened, Which means That

Unknown Speaker  
she's going to burn a legendary resistance.

Chris (Sal S)  
So opera, You're frighten me to actually disadvantage on checks And attacks while I'm inside of you. And you can't willingly move closer to me. inside of you.

Unknown Speaker  
in sight,

Unknown Speaker  
oh my god,

Chris (Sal S)  
I fail. Which means That one of the two things happens Tim Which might be good for you. Either a vile hostile creature appears where an effect occurs.

Speaker 1  
So as you are trying to frighten the queen. What is something That you Can think of That might be frightening to This creature?

Chris (Sal S)  
Bar Soap. Seriously, That's the first thing whenever I've walked into This room is Just like, it is a disgusting, seething mass of blood. To add muscle And death, And the only thing I Can think of is either the winds of towel like blowing or literally out of This room, or Just cleaning the whole place.

Speaker 1  
All Right, so we're going to take That concept And push it a little bit to like a kind of eradication of the infestation. She is a hive mind creature That has taken hold here in the city And some sort of surfactant so to speak, to wipe away her influence And so I am going to instead manifest That as a wave of fluid That crashes down on you knocking you prone Salvador

Unknown Speaker  
or Jesus

Unknown Speaker  
you manifested fluids

Chris (Sal S)  
not my intent by accident. Yeah. Oops.

Unknown Speaker  
And is That your first point of corruption?

Chris (Sal S)  
saving throw But I passed my wisdom saving throw need to

Speaker 1  
be passed to corruption save Okay. Dat is going to be her third And final. Thank God legendary action for the round.

Chris (Sal S)  
Oh, This, This is a concentration spell so I'm gonna maintain it. My moment to move so That's That's all.

Speaker 1  
Alright, so she's gonna use her third And final legendary action for the round And shoot a ray at you Salvador. And she has advantage because you were peroneal.

Unknown Speaker  
But disadvantage because of fear Right? Now. She's Right. She resists.

Chris (Sal S)  
Is it a range spell? Yes. range of cells have disadvantage if I'm brown.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah, It's melee That gets the advantage. Oh,

Speaker 1  
it doesn't matter anyways, because I rolled a three animal form. With plus seven is not enough to hit Salvador. Yeah. And That brings us back up to the top of the round with Yonce Bey.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So as I was reading through everything, I Can do compulsion as an eldritch for invocation once per long rest. So I'm going to cast That, Alright, you need a Wisdom save of 16.

Speaker 1  
All Right. And What is the language of the spell? Creature of

Kendrick (Yonce)  
your choice. Oh, so blah, blah. On a failed save a target is affected by the spell until the spell ends, you Can use a bonus action on each of your turns to designate a direction That is horizontal to you. So I think I Can Just move it. It says each affected target must use as much of its movement as possible to move in That direction on its turn, it Can take its action before it moves after moving in This way, it Can make another wisdom saving throw to try to end the effect. And it can't go into anything dangerous. But if it does move a will provoke opportunity attacks to move into. So we get opportunity attacks my moves.

Speaker 1  
If you are in range, Yes. The only one in range is the operation And an aberration.

Speaker 2  
But it can't move Right you Can move no But the Queen it has

Speaker 1  
a speed of 10 Can lift is as Oh my It slowly move itself

Kendrick (Yonce)  
over my ideas disconnected to its roots somehow.

Unknown Speaker  
Maybe That's fair.

Speaker 1  
Everything That you have passed so far has had a level of flexibility to it. So then bilkul cord is flexible, the viscera is flexible. All of the tendrils are flexible. So it will be able to move And continue to attack. It's Just moving 10 feet over it will take an opportunity attack from your operation But That's about it. Nothing else will bar it from continuing to do What it is doing.

Unknown Speaker  
Now if I turn it backwards

Speaker 1  
it Can turn itself around That's not a mechanic in D&D, unfortunately.

Unknown Speaker  
Okay, I tried. Um,

Speaker 1  
would you like to redact compulsion?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
No. Okay, I made That choice for a reason. Okay.

Speaker 1  
I am not going to burn all legendary resistance for That. So it is on the start of its turn it will have to move 10 feet in a random direction, the direction of my choice direction of your choice. It will have to move in a direction of your choice And it will move 10 feet. All Right.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So I'm going to move it backwards. I Don't know What That means in terms of

Speaker 1  
away from us so on its turn it will do That it will start to move 10 feet away from you.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
My operation will get an opportunity to add then. Yeah. And then after That, I've already hexed it so I Can do much else. So it is the end of my turn. All Right, But operations chain. Yes. So at the start of This turn, hold on, there's a I forget the you have to do a saving throw or something. So some aberration

Speaker 1  
of so I rolled a 17.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
That's going to pass so it won't get the whispering aura. All Right, But I will do psychic slam. So That is a 19 plus eight, so That does a 27 hit 27

Unknown Speaker  
will hit Yes.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
So That is going to be eight plus seven. So That's going to be 15 damage.

Speaker 1  
All Right. So you do 15 damage, psychic damage to the hive queen, And it is no appraised term. She is frightened by Salvador.

Speaker 4  
She is so she's going to run away from Salvador towards the aberration. And say you stay away from my beautiful queen beach. And I'm gonna make a reckless attack against the aberration does a 22 hit?

Unknown Speaker  
Yes it does.

Unknown Speaker  
will be for 11 bludgeoning damage. Does a 17 here. Yes. And That's an additional nine so 20 bludgeoning damage total. That's better sputtered.

Speaker 1  
Alright. It is the hive Queens turn. She cannot heal because she is blocked. But three more. But she's still has Ren grappled. Yes. And she still has Yonsei grappled.

Speaker 2  
Yeah, she does have to move those I Don't even know That

Speaker 1  
she is going to with some of her other appendages, because she has many. You see, she hoists her body up, she presses into the ceiling, Which she was already touching, And she pushes against it. I'm gonna roll a d 20. to figure out What happens when she does This

Unknown Speaker  
is This before the opportunity attack,

Speaker 1  
she is about to move. So I'm going to roll a d 20 to figure out the events That are taking place. So as she pushes herself up, And begins to scrape across the ceiling of the cavern, chunks of the ceiling begin to break off falling around the room. So she will take That opportunity attacks And make That with your aberration.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
All Right. I'm gonna do psychic slam And That's going to be a 23 to hit That will hit And That's going to be for nine psychic damage.

Speaker 1  
Alright, so you do nine psychic damage. And now everybody in the center of the room. So not Wren or Yonce who are pinned up against the wall. But Upri And Salvador do a dexterity saving throw as chunks to the ceiling begin to crumble down on the room.

Speaker 4  
Yes, a nine is This technically her hitting me though? Even though for the purposes I

Speaker 1  
think I'm gonna have to rule Yes. This is a an attack from her on you. Okay, so it is going to hit And you said it failed to Salvador. So both of you are going to get hits. I'm going to roll de tanned And It's gonna be six bludgeoning damage on each of you And you Can make a saving throw Now

Speaker 2  
does anybody ever reactions Which day to help the rest are Upri let's damn saving throw anybody anybody know

Kendrick (Yonce)  
minds only works on myself

Unknown Speaker  
damn @shadows_of_prophecy Can 18 Nice

Speaker 1  
And etc. You are Just clobbered with This chunk of ceiling. Do you come to you? Did And you realize That you had been charmed Oh Oh my back in the fight. Okay, It's still the Queen's turn now pinned from

Unknown Speaker  
underneath the leg she

Speaker 1  
creeping around the ceilings falling she plans herself 10 feet backwards away from you all further into the cavern. And then

Unknown Speaker  
does That mean another opportunity attack?

Speaker 1  
No, Just still. And then she's going to Yonce And Wren. Oh no, you feel her tendrils are wrapping around you And they begin to burn

Speaker 1  
all Right, so they begin to burn. And you start to feel This ringing in your mind. And you feel as if the energy is trying to be sapped out of your body Yonsei you wriggle enough to loosen the grip And prevent the attack from hurting you.

Unknown Speaker  
But Ren I'm not so lucky.

Unknown Speaker  
You're not so lucky. You will take five psychic damage plus an additional a Lebbon necrotic damage

Unknown Speaker  
Don't forget you have all these potions. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker  
like I only drink one per turn.

Speaker 1  
She would normally SAP This energy into herself. But you have blocked her ability to do so Sure

Unknown Speaker  
have.

Speaker 1  
However, your maximum hit points are reduced by That 11 until you finish a long rest. And That is friends turn Cool. She's

Speaker 2  
gonna get stabbed by my sucky sucky sword because That heals me. Come on crit. The extra bits. Why did you

Chris (Sal S)  
because you Don't have to.

Speaker 2  
stabbing a leg. Okay, I'm being pinned Right I'm still pinned. You are still grappled stabbing the leg. That's good roll But not @shadows_of_prophecy crit. That is a one bonus action analyzed boop boop boop. That is a oh, I can't math Right now. 2727 We'll hit we're going to neuro block again. Which actually does do more damage. So That one dice I did before it should have been there But it was a sneak attack. weapon damage

Speaker 1  
Do you want one year I'll Wait, as Wren is collecting dice.

Speaker 2  
All the time. Okay, so blue is necrotic my blue is dA is the necrotic damage Just so I know how much I heal. And Right? Yes. Oh, That's good. Okay, so That is eight. It's eight necrotic damage. All Right, plus 1015 19 plus 928 28. piercing damage 20 appears narrows was a necrotic damage That is 36 damage And all

Speaker 1  
Alright. So as you jab into This 10 roll, it releases you drops And you see That necrotic energy travel up the tendril into the Queen's body And she reels That arm back sucks it back into her body she have

Speaker 2  
a weakness to necrotic because it do double damage to heal double damage. That's all wrong, isn't it?

Unknown Speaker  
It was Just a lot of DML Sure

Speaker 2  
enough. And then I'm I'm a slapper with my with my tentacle.

Chris (Sal S)  
Forgot about the

Speaker 2  
technical slight error or too far away. That is a 16 to hit

Unknown Speaker  
a 16 We'll hit

Speaker 2  
That is a 12 bludgeoning damage. I'm assuming It's bludgeoning of them slap across the face.

Speaker 1  
Alright. legendary action cyanic Ray Yeah, And @shadows_of_prophecy You ran behind people.

Chris (Sal S)  
Her leg is there.

Unknown Speaker  
So a 12 plus Nine

Speaker 1  
plus seven is 19. Okay, That will hit to pull out my 4010 20

Speaker 6  
psychic

Unknown Speaker  
damage

Speaker 2  
all Right go down. That's Exactly how much hit points I have. Oh Fuck so I'm down.

Speaker 1  
As you lie you basically Just like yeah, blood starts pouring out your ears. Your brain hurts so bad That you Just pass out from the pain.

Unknown Speaker  
What does my tentacle do? It goes limp. So it doesn't fall off. No.

Unknown Speaker  
It's still part of you. All Right, Salvador.

Chris (Sal S)  
Melissa is all by herself.

Unknown Speaker  
You know, at least 10 feet away from her.

Chris (Sal S)  
And the umbilical cord is attached to her. Yes. Okay. I'm gonna say hey,

Unknown Speaker  
I mean multiple And the cords are attached to

Chris (Sal S)  
their feeding into her. Yeah, yeah, That was a hey, I Just play she got here. I'm gonna cast icestorm on her please, dexterity saving throw. Maybe I've got some young words. That's true. But yeah, DEC 17. You said Dec 630. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker

Chris (Sal S)  
16 Oh, Just enough to fail.

Unknown Speaker  
Little buddy days

Chris (Sal S)

Unknown Speaker  
hope Yeah.

Speaker 1  
Usually 19 damage to her And lots of things around the room in That area.

Chris (Sal S)  
And the area around her is difficult terrain a 20 foot radius.

Unknown Speaker  
We are layering layers. impassable

Unknown Speaker  
flowers. Now there's snow on top of both it doesn't

Kendrick (Yonce)  
affect it doesn't affect the operation because It's Just a spirit

Chris (Sal S)  
That's also out of range. Or not only move 10 feet by moved it sets in the corner.

Speaker 1  
All Right. Again, another legendary action Salvador.

Chris (Sal S)  
I'm standing This time though.

Speaker 1  
That is true. I seven plus seven is 14 Which will not do it.

Unknown Speaker

Alright. Do a strength check.

Kendrick (Yonce)

Speaker 6  
1414 will not do it. Well,

But it stays steadfast. Do you have a bonus action you would like to use?

Unknown Speaker  
I Can use Misty step.

Unknown Speaker  
You Can. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  
That would get you on grumbled. Yeah.

Kendrick (Yonce)

Unknown Speaker  
See you burn your second spell slot

Kendrick (Yonce)  
to lose their mind. I need to waste a spell slot. Yeah, then I will. I will not since It's the second level.

Speaker 1  
Yes, listeners we we noticed some extra spell casting in our last episode And had to do a little bit of investigation. But It's Okay. Cuz we've learned now.

I also want the audience to know That I'm still very much new to D&D. So please let there be grace with the mistakes That I make. Always. Always please And Thank you

Unknown Speaker  
Other things we fudge

Unknown Speaker  
Because I'm next to it And the thing moved

Kendrick (Yonce)

Kendrick (Yonce)

Speaker 1  
All Right. Again it is the hide Queens turn And she cannot heal. You're welcome. And she's very cold. It has affected her ability to produce aberrant spawn. Oh, Which she has stopped doing for the duration of the fight. not like she is multitasking here. You are starting to notice That the sacks of Flemmi mucus are starting to move the black creatures inside pushing on the embryonic sack That they were birthed into And it is her turn And she is going to let out a blast of cyanic raise three of them to be precise. So I'm going to roll attacks on again the aberration But also up three And Salvador. Okay. aberration 17 to hit. Which will do so. Yes. So 4010 damage

She takes a whopping 14 bergenin And That's definitely going to hit 26 And she takes another 16 bludgeon while Womble

Speaker 4  
Because he stopped the healing all Right. She probably doesn't have a lot of hope. Oh my god, respectfully.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Just for Thankfully for Yonsei

Unknown Speaker  
stopper please

Speaker 4  
watch charge And her jump in the air slam for an interviewer And then pivot off of for the first strike spinning upwards again And slamming down And Just cracking her skull And sending goop everywhere.

Speaker 1  
Oh my gosh. You pull Fern through the goop in her brain as it Just pours out. Do a Dexterity save?

Unknown Speaker  
I Can see it

Unknown Speaker  
dirty 20

Speaker 1  
All Right, see we're gonna take half damage work. Oh my go down as her very acidic. innards are sprayed out in front of her.

Unknown Speaker  
Doesn't it have to have only physical

Speaker 1  
18 have to thick so Oh, yeah. But I'm still up with 18 How to not six? No, It's Just at 18 After damage And you see That like steam rising from her brain matter? Which is This like Pinky gray. Goo. Just like soup That was inside her head. It's not solid, like our brains But more of a arachnid type soup.

Unknown Speaker  
Yum.

Chris (Sal S)  
It's good soup.

Speaker 1  
But you all better start moving quickly. Because those things That she Just finished birthing are starting to break out of their stack And

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I cast banishment on it.

Speaker 1  
There's like 20 of them. Yeah. to now.

Speaker 4  
It's not worth it. We Just gotta we gotta go And Vladlan Allen's allow That wow.

Speaker 5  
And, And I'm up for your potion. Well, I think I

Speaker 1  
would say you run on over to owl. And laughs Do bow Upri Yeah. As you scoop owl. No, you touch her skin. Oh, And You're immediately rips out of consciousness here. And the rest of you Just see Upri freeze for a moment. Holding rigidly Alice in her arms. So let's go. Oh, What Upri see, oh, no. You're standing at the base of a mountain, a storm of black cyclones covering the horizon line behind the mountain building. The whole sky is lit up with lightning. The wind is blasting around whipping, broken pieces of whatever And Just chunks of stone whipping through the air crashing into the ground all around you. And you look up to the top of the mountain And you see a figure standing. What do you do?

Unknown Speaker  
Am I hold now? No.

Unknown Speaker  
You're Just standing there. Just as you

Unknown Speaker  
have always the figure at the

Unknown Speaker  
top of the mountain And I'm at the bottom And You're at the bottom

Unknown Speaker  
I guess I'll start walking on the mountain.

Speaker 1  
You start to make your way up the mountain winding back And forth. A lot of them have

Speaker 4  
myself like Fuck, I can't believe I'm fucking tailboard some are fucking again. Y'all. It's gonna fucking kill me.

Speaker 1  
You spend hours trekking up And up the steep mountain path, clambering over stone And Boulder fording rivers And through forests, occasionally losing sites of the figure. But eventually

Unknown Speaker  
your view returns

Speaker 1  
And as you make your way closer you begin to realize it is a woman with red hair. Her hair flies wildly in the storm whipping around Alan her, But she remains motionless, steadfast. And you continue up, around And around back And forth up the hairpin turns of the steep mountain path.

Timothy (DM)  
And as you come closer, you recognize her as Alice, standing facing away at the edge of a precipice Looking down on the world, And as your eyes trail off in the direction of hers. You see a world laid bare, destroyed. Day dead. Craters Park, the land. Clouds of black tenderly storms covered mass masses of land obscuring them from sites And storms gather all across the terrain.

Speaker 6  
And Alice Just watches. l

Unknown Speaker  
do you remember me?

Speaker 1  
She doesn't react. But as you approach And come around, see her face. Her eyes are jet black And black veins tendril across her face. She doesn't seem to react.

Unknown Speaker  
I'll go And put my hand on her shoulder. Give her a little shake. Owl.

Speaker 1  
You go to touch her shoulder. And she takes a step forward. off the edge of the precipice. Can I catch her? You try to grasp at her body. But You're too late. She's already falling.

Timothy (DM)  
She is expressionless does not react her arms flail with the speed of the wind behind her

Unknown Speaker  
And she falls

Speaker 1  
And Just before she hits the ground the tear opens up And she falls through. Anywhere whipped back into your body

Speaker 2  
Okay, what's wrong? Up snap out of it. We're gonna go Yeah, later I've started cutting down Vladlan Using my tentacle Just following him. Alright, I want to acid splashaway from going down.

Speaker 1  
Rip Vladlan off the wall. He is unconscious. Alice is unconscious in Upri arm. And where do you go? Maybe?

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Salvador And And I should hold them since I haven't gotten it once This session. And Sal probably is in better health than both of you.

Speaker 4  
I only have 20 I think it Just makes more sense. We hold them And you guys lead the way. Yeah, Well, anything That's in fluid?

Speaker 2  
Well, I can't Vera you should you should carry heck I can't actually carry

Unknown Speaker  
it would be your new chest thingamabob.

Speaker 2  
Oh, It's gonna probably fall off. But as we're leaving the room, I'm going to try And pull down some ceiling stones to try And squish some of the creatures That are emerging from their execs.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, all Right.

Unknown Speaker  
Oh, what's your thing with my time? Yeah. So

Speaker 1  
you shoot your tentacle up to the ceiling because you Can reach with a 50 foot reach. And you Just start crashing the floor down as you are running away. It is operating independently of you. So you Don't have to divert your attention. And you Can continue running out from whence you came.

Speaker 2  
Okay, I'm assuming a minute passes. And part of This is That when there are a couple things That Can happen at the end of the minute either has a 25% chance That it stays with me for upwards of 24 hours. Great doesn't stay with me. But then I have to make a constitution saving throw or I'll sit rejects itself from my body violently Okay, I passed it Just falls off. I could take damage, Which might Knock me out. So here we are. We're good. That's all.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
Alright, I'm gonna lead the way since I have the most hitpoints I mean, since I'm the most are alive, healthiest from health, Yes, appreciate it.

Speaker 1  
So you make your way back through the tunnel system. The train is still difficult, But you notice as you were leaving That some of it is starting to fall apart. The umbilical cord is going flat is losing fluid quickly. And the goop from the bodies is starting to flow down the walls. As the viscera is starting to detach around you. You make your way through these tunnels avoiding anything collapsing on you by Just

Unknown Speaker  
a miracle.

Speaker 1  
Of have grace And you make your way back into the tavern. There Akela meets you having heard the commotion. Oh my gosh, y'all are alive. Well,

Chris (Sal S)  
barely, mostly.

Unknown Speaker  
I feel Great.

Speaker 4  
I feel as fit as a spring chicken retches is gonna go lay down.

Speaker 1  
Right Right This way. And she leads you into the back room. Closing the trap door behind you. Locking the door to the room That they are staying in with the cots. You are rejoined with here. who embraces Salvador. Bran is excited to see you And helps you carry Vladlan analysis bodies to the cots And lays them down to rest.

Speaker 4  
room before you pass out. Can you please take a look at our own Vlad?

Speaker 2  
Yeah, hold on. Ron will like study himself. But I'm gonna bring a chair over And sit down next to the carts. In a medicine man. All Right. Do you like medicine?

Unknown Speaker  
Give me a Medicine check. Okay

Speaker 2  
That's a nat 1 But hold on. But That is That is a 13. Yeah. Because I have such a high IQ.

Speaker 1  
So you've never seen anything quite like This. But there's a couple things That you Can notice. One there do not appear to be any physical sign signs of damage to their bodies. Aside from bruising. However, they seem deeply dehydrated. They are unconscious, their breaths are deep. Their heartbeat is slow, dangerously slow.

Speaker 2  
Okay. I will do a couple things. I've got two more smelling salts on me. So I'm going to give one to each of them. essentially giving them some hit points back hopefully, the idea being That if they're they're slow smelling salts will hopefully like kick their, their systems back into gears a little bit. six And four. Across the two,

Speaker 1  
it seems to help their heart beats become stronger. But they are both still unconscious.

Speaker 2  
That's Okay, I Don't mind I'm going to put some ointment on their bruises to help them with the healing And the pain. They need water make Sure That they get some water every now And then not too much at once, But enough Just to like rehydrate them a little bit because they're very severely dehydrated. And then I'm gonna go lay down again.

Chris (Sal S)  
You should probably give them a bath too, as they're still covered with sludge.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I think at This point we all need baths.

Unknown Speaker  
Yeah. We're all covered in sludge.

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I'm going to look at Upri And say why Don't you go lay down you Don't look really good.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm Fine. Yeah,

Kendrick (Yonce)  
I haven't actually sit your ass down

Speaker 2  
Jonas Right Come over here. Okay, And then I'll motion to the cotton next to me. Oh,

Unknown Speaker  
I thought we're gonna lay down the cotton next year.

Speaker 2  
I'll do like a Quick Exam of Upri to Just to make Sure like there's no open wounds or anything.

Unknown Speaker  
She has six hit points left over 130

Unknown Speaker  
I have five so yeah, you were on the same page. But mine was psychic damage though.

Unknown Speaker  
I'm have a lot of acid.

Timothy (DM)  
It might be best if you all take a rest. Those creatures may be outside still. But they Don't seem to be able to find us back here.

Speaker 2  
We Can take shifts later on if you Don't mind taking the first one I think we'd all appreciate it

Kendrick (Yonce)
