SPEAKER_06 0:31

Standing on the precipice of holy moly, give me more guacamole, eating some water and drinking the meat, not giving a damn about what blocks the waterways, just wishing for one wish, but too afraid to wish for it. Or just a little lost, but don't want to be found unless you too also enjoy a little dark humor. Welcome to the odd box. What is your best moment you've ever had in nature?

SPEAKER_03 0:54

Best moment in nature?

SPEAKER_06 0:55

Yeah, we did one that was what's your worst a while ago. I want to know what your best was.

SPEAKER_04 1:01

I met an orca one time. That was pretty cool.

SPEAKER_06 1:03

That is cool. Shake hands, like do a fist bump.

SPEAKER_04 1:06

No, he's uh it was an adolescent. He swam right up to the boat, and we got a really, really good look at him. Um super crazy powerful. Um, just a sight of nature.

SPEAKER_06 1:16

He tried to take down the boat. That's been going on. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:20

Thankfully not. No, he was just curious. Uh, but definitely like the definitely like the moms and dads that were you know 200 feet away or whatever, they could have fucked us up. They're huge, just so powerful. How big is your boat? Uh, it was a 30-foot cat. That's take cats out in the water. What kind of cat? Catamaran. Persian. Where did you get this cat?

SPEAKER_01 1:47

I'd be curious too if I was an orca.

SPEAKER_03 1:49

Caterpillar brand bulldozer.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

What the fuck is that thing?

SPEAKER_03 1:53

It's a 30-foot caterpillar brand bulldozer who just drives it out in the ocean.

SPEAKER_01 1:57

I just pictured a caterpillar.

SPEAKER_04 1:59

Uh, and then I met a I've met a gray whale, and um, he was super cool and chill, and he came right up to the boat.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

That sounds fun.

SPEAKER_04 2:07

And um uh m uh many of my stories are all sea life stories. I could go on and on.

SPEAKER_06 2:14

Meeting the mammals.

SPEAKER_04 2:15

Yeah. They're fish, don't deeply controversial. Yeah, whales whales have gills. Spin gills, spin gills, just like otters.

SPEAKER_01 2:29

They're actually closely related.

SPEAKER_03 2:30

Steels and otters. Steels and otters aren't fish, so they're probably not that closely related.

SPEAKER_07 2:34

Neither are whales. I met a mountain goat. I know it is, but anyway.

SPEAKER_01 2:39

Stop it, Jeff. You're ruining it.

SPEAKER_07 2:40

I met a mountain goat.

SPEAKER_04 2:42

On the water? No. Uh yeah, in a boat, in the ocean. It was his boat. In the ocean. Yeah. Uh no.

SPEAKER_03 2:48

It was the goat's boat. It was really wavy, and the goat was like, I can walk on that.

SPEAKER_04 2:54

I can climb that hill. Uh no, it was uh uh Upper Lina Lake. We went up to Upper Lina Lake, and they grow them big up there. When I first saw him, I thought he was a bleached tree stump because he wasn't moving. And I was like, I don't remember walking past a giant bleached tree stump. And then he came up into our camp. And you know, a creature is just incredibly strong when it has, you know, three, four inches of fur, and you can see the definition of its muscles like through its fur. He was a monster, absolute monster. Big seven-inch spikes for his yeah, don't fuck with those things.

SPEAKER_01 3:24

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:25

He was super chill. Um, but um until he's not. It was scary. It was super scary.

SPEAKER_07 3:30

Just look at him and lower your head. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Just get down.

SPEAKER_07 3:37

Like maintain eye confidence.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

You have to bow at them to show respect. It's like a hypocrite.

SPEAKER_04 3:42

You gotta stare him in the eye, you gotta give him your full attention. Yeah. And then take a couple steps backwards.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

Yeah, paw a little bit at the graph.

SPEAKER_04 3:51

I'll still snort, stand up, and then get back down, stand up, get back down.

SPEAKER_06 3:55

It seems like terrible advice. They love that. I love that.

SPEAKER_04 3:59

It's how you show goat submission. Yeah. No, he could have he could have beat anybody. Anybody. He's a monster.

SPEAKER_03 4:05

I'll fight him.

SPEAKER_04 4:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:07

I don't have any good like Could he have beaten the Orca?

SPEAKER_04 4:09

No, not at all. Nobody beats the Orca. Well, maybe if you put the Orca on top of Upper Lena Lake, you know, then he would probably still think the Orca would win.

SPEAKER_03 4:20

Orca could just roll over.

SPEAKER_05 4:22

Can it though?

SPEAKER_03 4:23

Bloodlusted, bloodlusted orca versus a bloodlusted goat on land.

SPEAKER_04 4:28

They just kill things with their tail. Like they just tail whip stuff and they're done.

SPEAKER_03 4:32

Yeah, I think they have 30,000 pounds of bite force or something in orca.

SPEAKER_04 4:36

Yeah. They'll do like 35 miles an hour under the water. It's super cool. They don't you don't ever see it on TVs or shows or anything, but they make this like compression donut around their middle as they swim. You can see the water vortexing off of their body. And um, like it, they're just so strong. They're so fast, they're so powerful, and they can turn on a dime and they can hold their breath forever. They're the ultimate predator.

SPEAKER_03 4:58

Compression donut was my nickname in high school. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 5:00

I was gonna say I have a similar bite force when it comes to you know breakfast. It's true.

SPEAKER_01 5:06

Keep your hands away.

SPEAKER_06 5:08

He'll eat a bowling ball.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

Sausage! Doesn't even have to be cooked.

SPEAKER_06 5:17

I move it fast enough from plate to mouth that it cooks in transit. Ultimate predator.

SPEAKER_01 5:24

When it's already killed.

SPEAKER_07 5:27

They can do 35 miles an hour when food's involved, breakfast is involved. Uh Courtney, you were saying you've never been outside.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

No, I was saying I don't have any like Disney princess stories um like life has over there.

SPEAKER_06 5:41

But um It's funny, I was also picturing him singing on the boat. Yeah. I definitely did.

SPEAKER_01 5:46

Yeah. Uh but when uh Tony and I went to the Ho Rainforest, uh, that's where we actually got engaged, it was a very like beautiful and magical trip. And I just loved the lush green forest and the giant trees. I love trees. And one of my favorite moments was when we like walked up to a sign and it had like four different types of trees on it, and then each one was like represented like behind the sign, and I was then I was pointing out all of the the trees. I'm like, oh, that's uh the cedar and the there's a Douglas fir and whatever the other two were, but um it was fun.

SPEAKER_07 6:25

So your most memorable moment of nature is a sign.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

No, trees behind the signs, Jeff. Okay, yeah, the trip where she got engaged.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

That counts. That's a good one. Yeah, I like how you called it a beautiful trip. It was a beautiful trip.

SPEAKER_01 6:41

What was I supposed to call it?

SPEAKER_06 6:42

Well, no, it was just because we were also high.

SPEAKER_01 6:45

Well, yeah, but it helped. All the colors were enhanced for sure.

SPEAKER_03 6:55

Um I went on uh like I just had like a really romantic day hike with my wife when we were like in high school still. That was probably my favorite trip in nature. We went looking for lakes that were undeveloped and we found a couple. It was a lot of fun. In in western Washington, you if you walk like 500 feet, you're gonna hit some water. You know.

SPEAKER_04 7:16

Watch out for orcas. Yeah. Yeah. Those mountain orcas. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:26

Yeah. I remember like uh 15 years ago or something, they changed the setbacks where you couldn't develop within like 150 feet of wetlands. And I was like, can anybody build a house out here anymore then? It's all wetlands.

SPEAKER_07 7:37

Yeah, yeah. Uh, I don't know. My most memorable point of nature, we just when I was younger, we used to go camping and stuff all the time. Uh, it was really fun. We had nicknamed the place the beer cave out in the desert because we just found this cave and drank beer in it. And that was fun. There were a bunch of bats in the cave too with us. Yeah. So I don't know. We were just outside so much. There's so many good memories in of nature. I practically lived up in the mountains of Utah uh when I was younger.

SPEAKER_03 8:11

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I was gonna say I have like a billion memories of being outside and doing stuff. Right.

SPEAKER_01 8:17

The uh crystal caverns in the Cayman Islands were really beautiful too. I think they were limestone.

SPEAKER_06 8:22

I was considering that one on my list, but it wasn't gonna be my answer. But yeah, that was really cool.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

They were gorgeous, and one some of them had water in them, uh, like very clear, beautiful water, and then there was a cave with bats and the tour guide's like, keep your mouths closed. You don't want fat poop in your mouth. Don't tell me what I want.

SPEAKER_07 8:41

Why do you think I'm here? It was a lot of fun though. That's one thing, like in my mind, I'm sort of disqualifying all of the uh I don't know, tourist moments that I spent in nature because to me, part of being in nature is like that seclusion.

SPEAKER_01 8:55

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 8:56

Um so it yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

It is still something that was naturally formed that is protected and still able to be a tourist attraction because it is protected. Yeah, yeah. We didn't need to destroy them.

SPEAKER_07 9:09

Yeah, I wasn't trying to discount it, I just did.

SPEAKER_01 9:12

You did.

SPEAKER_07 9:14

I was a drive.

SPEAKER_03 9:15

Yeah. We went to that way. We went to Tahiti, that was pretty cool. Yeah. Everything there was pretty.

SPEAKER_04 9:21

Hawaii's awesome. We went diving off the north shore. I think we're planning on going next year. Super cool. If you can get in the water, it's awesome. Yeah, I've never been to Hawaii. Yeah. It's it's super warm and mild, and there's like a thousand species that you can see in like two minutes. Yeah. You know, it's uh it's super beautiful. Right. It's crazy awesome. It's a great time. And also all the movies were shot in Hawaii. Basically. Yeah. And uh, Jurassic Park, Thunder. Yeah. It's very, it's very nostalgic, you know. You get a lot of you get a lot of those senses while you're out there. Bring your bug your bug spray. The mosquitoes are like Dobermans over there. They're massive.

SPEAKER_01 10:00

You can just bring someone like Tony that'll attract all the bugs for you.

SPEAKER_07 10:02

Bring your sweet blood friend. I thought redheads. Like redheads attract mosquitoes.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

No, they they I've never had an issue with mosquitoes. But yeah, and then when I'm with him, he just they all flock to him.

SPEAKER_03 10:14

Weird.

SPEAKER_06 10:14

I've never not had problems with mosquitoes.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

Yeah, same. Guys, I just looked it up year wrong. Um, Jurassic Park was filmed on the Isla Nublar.

SPEAKER_05 10:24

What? Isn't it?

SPEAKER_03 10:26

That's the name of it in the movie.

SPEAKER_07 10:28

My favorite, one of my favorite parts of Universal Studios was they had a bar called I Isla Nubar. Yeah. It was cool. It was a bar and it was a pun. And I like you there for it.

SPEAKER_03 10:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:42

Can you explain that a little bit more for me? And you would like, I don't quite understand.

SPEAKER_03 10:45

So whenever people came in, you'd be like, life finds a way.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

Yeah. It's probably a drink.

SPEAKER_07 10:50

Courtney. The island, the the fictional island in Jurassic Park is Island. It's not fictional, that's where it was from.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

You're not getting it. Yeah, you're confused. Someone explain this to Jeff.

SPEAKER_03 11:03

You know, everybody's real excited about the dinosaurs, but I still think we should go back to the island to retrieve the cloning technology. Yeah. You know, because that was cool.

SPEAKER_06 11:12

To what end, Kyle? To what end? To make more dinosaurs.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

I'm going to make a hundred thousand of me and ruin the world. It would take more than a hundred thousand of them.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

I was going to say it takes significantly less.

SPEAKER_07 11:23

And they shall call it the island of Caliban, and I shall populate it with Caliban. Just Dr. Moreauing it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

Tony, what's your answer?

SPEAKER_06 11:34

Usually I've been getting away with not answering and you guys haven't noticed.

SPEAKER_07 11:38

Not always.

SPEAKER_06 11:38

It's been getting more frequent. I've appreciated it.

SPEAKER_01 11:41

I stopped calling you on it because you usually don't answer even when we call you on it. And so it's just getting old.

SPEAKER_07 11:46

Speaking of which, let's get to the recap. Yeah, can you just play?

SPEAKER_01 11:51

We don't want to hear what you have to say.

SPEAKER_04 11:54

I do. I do.

SPEAKER_06 11:55

Now I'm torn. It's a 52. Answer the fucking question. I stall a little bit longer. Um, I had like I was going through a couple. There was um that time in Puerto Rico. Is that where we went?

SPEAKER_07 12:10

No, it was Portland.

SPEAKER_01 12:11

Puerto Rico and Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_06 12:12

So Puerto Rico, we um were on like this nature hike, and I saw like this small rodent thing. I can't remember what it was called. Do you remember what I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_01 12:21

Yeah, I do remember.

SPEAKER_06 12:23

You chased it.

SPEAKER_01 12:24

You disappeared. Like I did not know where you were.

SPEAKER_06 12:26

No one else saw this thing, and I just saw like the tail end of it, and I'm like, what is that? And I went off the trail and I'm like walking through this marshland trying, and like it goes around a corner, and I'm like, holy shit, I'm being led to Narnia right now. Like it is happening. Um, that was really cool. Um got a little lost. Found found my people again. But I think my uh my real answer would be uh Queensbath, Hawaii. Um it's funny because Jeff was like, you know, the touristy stuff kind of ruins it. But Courtney and I walked past all the people quite a ways, so it was just her and I. We couldn't really see anyone else. And uh in one of these ponds, uh seawater ponds.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

It's all like volcanic rock and it's like the shelf of the cliff where it like forms these pools and people can swim in. Um the salt water like comes up and then stays there to carry carry on.

SPEAKER_06 13:23

Massive, massive like tide pools. Uh there was a turtle, just a green sea turtle right there. And so we climbed down and hung out there by ourselves for like 20 minutes and just you know made soup through. Yeah, I was gonna say throw rocks at it and try to catch it and let's play Mario Kart. How long can it actually stay under water?

SPEAKER_01 13:41

You know, yeah, we picked it up for a while, gave it a hug, and carried it around.

SPEAKER_06 13:46

And then I started feeding it uh plastic straws and you're not supposed to do any of that.

SPEAKER_01 13:52

Six it was the most beautiful moment of nature, okay?

SPEAKER_06 13:55

Yeah, right. Actually, the most beautiful moment of nature was your second-degree sunburn.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah, we I left my bag because we had to like scramble down this little like cliff thing. It wasn't that big, but it was easier to climb without it. And I was like, Yeah, we'll only be down here for a few minutes. Fucking burned my calves, just my calves, just fried back of the knees or like right above the Achilles standing. Everything else was fine, but they got fried and they blistered and it was gross. It's a tan blazing.

SPEAKER_07 14:23

I've been there, had that covering my entire back.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 14:27

Yeah, it sucks. Being a redhead is the worst.

SPEAKER_01 14:29

My worst sunburn was uh my family would go to like tropical vacations, and my family can all tan. So they would go to the tanning bed and get a little bit of a base tan, and they're like, You should do it too. So I try, and you know, sometimes I got a little bit, and one time they changed the bulbs and they didn't tell me, and I only went for 10 minutes and it came out, and my whole body was fried a week before vacation. And I was at school, this is high school, and I'm like scratching my back, and skin is just like flaking out left and right. It was horrible. It did not go away before the vacation. I was like, I'm never going to a tanning bed again.

SPEAKER_06 15:09

You went into your vacation already, so it was terrible.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

I was like, Thanks a lot, mom, for like recommending this to me. It's her fault.

SPEAKER_07 15:18

Also, you have a terrible mother for recommending tanning beds.

SPEAKER_03 15:21

The cancer somewhere sunny, I just wear SPF 100 like five times a day. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:26

Then you just can't rub it in, it's just pasty. I'll take whatever.

SPEAKER_07 15:30

That's what being a child taught me was how to not get a sunburn anymore.

SPEAKER_01 15:33

Yeah. I'm really good at applying sunscreen now. I have to do it like every hour and a half.

SPEAKER_07 15:37

Well, you're supposed to.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 15:39

Like that, it says that on the bottle. Reapply frequently. Every two hours. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

Yeah. But I went to Disney with my family like every hour and a half. I was like, okay, I gotta stop and reapply. Nobody else did, just me. Yeah. I did not get burnt.

SPEAKER_06 15:54

And we fade to black. Okay. Good episode, everybody. This is the show now. It's better this way. I don't want to keep beating the shit out of you guys. I don't know if our friendship can take it.

SPEAKER_03 16:10

It's your favorite. Don't lie.

SPEAKER_06 16:13

You used to be.

SPEAKER_03 16:14

We were never friends.

SPEAKER_06 16:18

Can't ruin a friendship. It doesn't exist. You make your way to the fortress where you hope to sneak in and do the exact opposite. You ignite yourself and them in a conflagration of multicolored flame and it turns into just a race to escape. One that to Ari's horror, Violet seems to be winning. After making a dirty escape, because I don't know what the opposite of a clean escape is, you regroup, and the hard realization that you might not have as much time as you thought dawns on your wary heads as Willowshore continues to hemorrhage preparation points. What is the hero point situation?

SPEAKER_03 17:05

Zero. Also zero.

SPEAKER_01 17:08

Zero.

SPEAKER_07 17:09

Two. You guys should try harder.

SPEAKER_06 17:13

Try hard.

SPEAKER_01 17:14

Can you bring me a couple next time? Yeah. Thank you.

SPEAKER_06 17:17

You guys lose your bonus from the transmigration ritual. Oh. When did that be?

SPEAKER_01 17:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 17:27

I didn't I haven't erased that yet. It is only good for one week. Oh, I thought it was good for a month.

SPEAKER_06 17:34

The ritual is your manifestations are good for a month. Your critical success is only good for the week.

SPEAKER_01 17:42

For the week.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

That was our plus one to Fortitude Reflex Will. It was basically plus one to almost everything except like acing.

SPEAKER_07 17:51

Yeah. Almost everything except acing and damage, I think.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

Okay. So we're in the hut, right?

SPEAKER_06 18:03

Or you guys can be on your little grassy knoll overlooking Karahai. You guys can be in your fishing hut. Um I don't I don't care. I don't care.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

I think we retreat with our tail between our legs.

SPEAKER_06 18:14

I did kind of assume you guys went all the way back with, you know, tears in your eyes, a limp in your step. Yeah. Some cinched hairs.

SPEAKER_01 18:22

Also still doomed, right? Some of you. Yeah. I got rid of it.

SPEAKER_07 18:26

I thought you were I thought we got rid of it. Like one of them. Yeah. Jeff got rid of one of them. Okay, so it was just me. Yeah, we got a role to produce it. You know terribly. Yeah. Like usual. Uh so yeah, at this point, our seemingly our only option is to just break in. Like stop trying to be so stealthy and just kick down the door, get in there, right? Everybody on the same page.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

I wasn't listening. Can you say that again?

SPEAKER_03 18:57

Let's do it. Gar just wants to storm castle.

SPEAKER_07 19:01

Yeah, I mean, what else are we gonna do aside from just kick down the door?

SPEAKER_06 19:05

He wants to be less splinter cell and more SWAT. I don't even know what that means.

SPEAKER_01 19:13

Splintering cell sounds painful. Um yeah, we gotta get in there. I don't think we should draw attention to ourselves though.

SPEAKER_07 19:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:23

So what are our options here? I have a rope of climbing.

SPEAKER_05 19:31

Um you could realize your time has come and surrender to the void. No. And let forasma receive. You're still here.

SPEAKER_01 19:38

We've thought about that already, and I was going to do that, and then I got past that point. So I'm not ready to revert back to that thought. Um, but can you tell us anything about the layout of the fortress? You were in there before, probably multiple times.

SPEAKER_06 19:57

It's well suited for everyone that stays there. They have servants, they have beds and food that they could hold out there for weeks. Is there narrow corridors? Could we fight? I mean, it's all really not that expansive. Here, let me draw you a map. And he draws like two circles on the ground. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 20:20

Didn't he do this before? I think so. It's the same map, he never brushed it away.

SPEAKER_03 20:27

He still goes through the effort though of drawing the stick through the old channels and the dirt that he had made.

SPEAKER_05 20:32

Okay, so the bell you're looking for is right here.

SPEAKER_07 20:36

I think the question is do we just go in now or do we have to wait another night to like get our spells and etc. back? Yeah, we still have time, and I'm kind of hurt. Well, I suppose I could have healed. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:51

I'm down a lot. Um I'm at 32 hit points. I've used two fourth level spell slots.

SPEAKER_07 20:57

I used all three. Because it's the same day that I was trying to cleanse you guys of the curse, I think. I don't I don't see why we wouldn't rest. So we We're we're really the resting we're giving them more time to sort of prepare. I I the last time that we were talking about it, uh Tony said something about like them if if we wait another night, they'll have much more time to set up defenses and stuff like that, rather than just busting in now. Because so that that's all. It just gives them time.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_06 21:32

I remember you saying that it's like they're gonna be ready for us because we're attacking every night, and everyone on the table, including me, was like, you guys have not been attacking every night. Yeah. But um I don't remember giving you guys foresight into how they were going to prepare.

SPEAKER_07 21:44

I do.

SPEAKER_06 21:44

Okay. I remember.

SPEAKER_01 21:50

So uh those are the facts.

SPEAKER_04 21:52

I don't know, man. Those those fights are pretty tough, anyways. I think I I'm I'm fine with it.

SPEAKER_01 21:57

They're already out looking for us now. So I don't see why they wouldn't be sweeping the castle and the fortress or whatever. Um and their guard is up. I know that they will have time to prepare and like they they know that we heal from um positive energy um and they might have different tactics, but Okay. I just don't think that we're prepared to go in.

SPEAKER_07 22:22

Alright, so we wait another day, sleep during the day, and go back tomorrow night.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 22:32

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 22:32

And we should try to maximize our abilities, like our spirit powers to infiltrate.

SPEAKER_07 22:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

So I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 22:44

Do we want spirit powers then for if we prep if we all prep some sort of fly, we can use it as an oh shit escape.

SPEAKER_01 22:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 22:55

Um or we can prep like phase through walls, right? Yep.

SPEAKER_01 22:58

So there's dematerialize where we can um become incorporeal incorporeal for one round sustained up to five rounds. So that means we can pass through walls um and then we would be resistant to damage. It is a very limited uh amount of time.

SPEAKER_04 23:14

How many actions is it?

SPEAKER_01 23:17

Two.

SPEAKER_03 23:18

That would get us out of yeah, out of castle.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

Yeah. So we would at least get outside of the walls if we needed to. It could also help us get into somewhere if we needed to. Uh we could do the flight. Um, I'm kind of bored of that, I guess.

SPEAKER_07 23:35

Yeah, it's kind of just an oh shit scramble button. If we're outside, I guess. It wouldn't work if we were uh inside.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 23:44

Yeah, no, I I agree with that though. We've got the rope of climbing and then Gardas has the jumping potions. Yeah, I can I can make leapers elixirs.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

There's also a flickering figure where we can become concealed and we can use this to hide for 10 minutes. Um so that might be helpful.

SPEAKER_07 24:02

Were there um like caravans or any type of big things being moved in and out of the West Gate?

SPEAKER_06 24:10

Whole caravans? No.

SPEAKER_07 24:12

So it's things that we could hide in, like barrels.

SPEAKER_06 24:18

I mean, for like every eight people, there'd be like eight barrels sort of thing. They're not moving large amounts again. This is a very small deslitter.

SPEAKER_04 24:26

Can we all fit into one barrel?

SPEAKER_01 24:28

When is the weekly shipment coming in? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:31

I like to imagine that there's a scene of us like practicing with barrels and realizing like Ari can barely lift hers, and Violet cannot fit in any barrel ever.

SPEAKER_01 24:40

I just pictured the hobbits in their fish barrels. Yeah, yeah. Going into, I think Lake Town is what it was called. Um, so for minor powers, we could uh there's one. Let me find it. I liked duty. Um, so you can essentially uh suggest someone do a task. So like we could try to get them to lure people away or maybe like unlock a door or something. Um it it is on a save uh and on a critical success, the target like here's the hears the suggestion, but isn't otherwise affected. I don't know if that would you know, that would probably alert them and it might cause a different effect than what we intend. Um I have curiosity, so I can touch someone and I can ask a question. So um I'd have to be close to them though, and then ask like, you know, where's the bell or something like that, but that's still a save. We could do that with like a servant though.

SPEAKER_03 25:47

Um Yeah, I like the dematerializing duty.

SPEAKER_07 25:51

I mean, I'll do whatever you guys want. Uh I'm partial to just kicking down doors, but that's all.

SPEAKER_01 26:01

Well, the aggressive approach didn't work for us last time.

SPEAKER_07 26:04

We didn't really try. We ran away.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

We almost died.

SPEAKER_07 26:08

Not very aggressive. We're already dead too.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

Um wanna try dematerialize?

SPEAKER_07 26:18

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01 26:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 26:19

Yeah, walk through a wall.

SPEAKER_03 26:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:20

And then I will do I'll have duty prepared.

SPEAKER_03 26:24

Um I have duty as one of my assigned ones also. So I have duty in my chair.

SPEAKER_01 26:28

Can I see the list kind of that's what that smell is? Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_07 26:31

Uh-huh. Okay, so we just walk through a wall. I I would vote we go through where we already burned out, where we threw your pearl in and burned down that one place, because I think there's less of a chance of like people being there and watching it. Right.

SPEAKER_03 26:48

I think we should save the dematerialize for when we want to leave. Agreed.

SPEAKER_01 26:51

Yeah. Okay, so then we just once a day. Spider climb elixirs that you could give us. We have a rope of climbing if we need it. Um, and I think we can just like stake out outside of maybe that area that you were talking about where we um burned the logs and just like wait for the patrols to pass by, and then we can take our time getting in, maybe sending in like one or two people at a time, so we're not just like all going in. Um there's no reason why we can't like do it slowly.

SPEAKER_07 27:24

All right. So the first thing, the first hurdle though, then is sneaking up to the wall.

SPEAKER_04 27:30

Yeah. Which we've done successfully before. And we've done unsuccessfully before. Well, we just gotta take a shot, you know? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:38

I do also have I think I have a scroll of shared invisibility.

SPEAKER_07 27:43

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 27:44

Let me find it.

SPEAKER_07 27:45

Interesting. We could just walk in. Which would be very ideal.

SPEAKER_04 27:54

If we can because those gateways serve as a a a decent joke point for us to figure out what we're doing if things go sideways. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:03

Uh target up to five willing creatures. Duration is ten minutes. Um all targets are invisible. Except to each other. So we can still see each other.

SPEAKER_07 28:13

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 28:14

Uh as long as you remain within the emanation. So we have to be within 30 feet.

SPEAKER_04 28:19

Um the person who uses the scroll.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

It's a 30-foot emanation.

SPEAKER_07 28:27

How long does it last, you said?

SPEAKER_01 28:28

Ten minutes.

SPEAKER_07 28:28

Okay, so we can turn invisible, get to the wall, spider climb over the wall, and then we're in.

SPEAKER_01 28:35

Yeah, we have ten minutes, so it would only probably take us a few rounds to get up and over the wall.

SPEAKER_07 28:40

But I want to use my potions. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

Um, and then we can find like a quiet place. Um, we have ten minutes to kind of like stake out that area.

SPEAKER_03 28:54

Okay, okay. Go to sleep. Good night. First watch. Last watch. I did it. Sorry. Second watch. Ari.

SPEAKER_01 29:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 29:04

You can have first watch.

SPEAKER_01 29:05

Really?

SPEAKER_03 29:05

I feel bad for her. I thought you were right behind me.

SPEAKER_01 29:10

I wasn't. Well, I was right behind you. And then you left. You know, I had to sacrifice myself to save you.

SPEAKER_03 29:18

Yes, I know. I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_01 29:19

And then you just threw me to the wolves.

SPEAKER_03 29:22

Yeah, Red always said you were the yak.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_07 29:26

Yaks can take care of themselves. Raicho. Don't touch my shit.

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Look who's talking about.

SPEAKER_07 29:33

Curl up and go to bed.

SPEAKER_03 29:35

I don't know what that means. Raicho.

SPEAKER_01 29:38

What?

SPEAKER_03 29:38

Do you want anything from shopping store when we go?

SPEAKER_01 29:42

Shopping store.

SPEAKER_03 29:43

Well, yeah, we're gonna take things, right? Yeah, we're gonna steal whatever we can. It's like shopping.

SPEAKER_01 29:48

Yeah, did you see anything in there that you wanted?

SPEAKER_05 29:50

I just want my daughter back.

SPEAKER_01 29:52

She's in the walls.

SPEAKER_05 29:56

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_01 29:57

I was just wondering if maybe you saw her.

SPEAKER_05 30:00

No. I wouldn't still be here. We'd go make a lie for ourselves. I wouldn't have to sit here haunted by what I'm sure are just demons conjured by my mind.

SPEAKER_07 30:11

Well, everybody's got shit luck nowadays.

SPEAKER_01 30:13

We're actually here. We're not conjured by your mind.

SPEAKER_03 30:16

I don't know which is worse. Oh, hang on just a minute. What if he's what if the mindscape is in Rysho? No, you're you're reaching too far there.

SPEAKER_01 30:27

Just eat these rice balls and go to bed.

SPEAKER_07 30:29

Yeah, leave the thinking to the smart people like me. Okay. Ari.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

Yeah?

SPEAKER_03 30:34

You're going to do the thinking for Gardas, right?

SPEAKER_07 30:37

I'm asleep.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

I always do. I can't control him now.

SPEAKER_03 30:40

Okay, third watch. I wake up Gardas.

SPEAKER_07 30:44

I cook breakfast. Or dinner, however you want to look at it.

SPEAKER_06 30:49

Breakfast is just when you break your fasts, so it could be at any time.

SPEAKER_07 30:52

Alright, so breakfast it is. Pancakes for everybody.

SPEAKER_01 30:56

Violet never fasts.

SPEAKER_07 30:59

Has to wake up every two hours.

SPEAKER_01 31:00

She's just eating in her sleep.

SPEAKER_04 31:02

Chewing her cud.

SPEAKER_01 31:05

Just like eating the blankets and stuff, you know.

SPEAKER_07 31:08

It's the family show life. What? Every once in a while I just throw raw eggs into her mouth while she sleeps.

SPEAKER_06 31:15

Calling this a family show is cold.

SPEAKER_07 31:19

AI disagrees. I let my kids watch it or listen. Yeah, well, they're gonna be just fine.

SPEAKER_01 31:26

Yeah, just like you, Jeff. They're gonna be just fine.

SPEAKER_06 31:30

I think that's a comment more on your parenting and not on the show. The sun is getting low on the horizon. It is almost nighttime. You guys all benefit from a long rest.

SPEAKER_01 31:44

And our doomed goes down.

SPEAKER_06 31:46

What would you like to do?

SPEAKER_04 31:49

Guess we're gonna try and sneak into town as best we can, get as close as we can.

SPEAKER_07 31:54

So the only gate that's actually open that we could take invisibility and sneak through is the West Gate. Yeah. Every other gate was closed. I thought we were spider climbing. That's what I said. But other people argued with you. Okay. All right. Let's do it.

SPEAKER_01 32:09

Nobody changed the plan, Jeff. Except for you. I regret asking. Who let him talk?

SPEAKER_03 32:17

So we're gonna get up to the thing. Yeah, do we want to take our invisibility? Take our potions. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 32:22

I think we're gonna try to go to the side where we burned the logs. Like whatever.

SPEAKER_03 32:27

See if we can find an entrance where the be left.

SPEAKER_04 32:28

Was the south side, I want to say?

SPEAKER_07 32:30

Usually, yeah, southeast, I think.

SPEAKER_01 32:31

And we don't have to go at a gate. We can go over a wall.

SPEAKER_07 32:34

Spider climb.

SPEAKER_06 32:36

So you want to approach from the southeast. That is where the uh unused wood stable was. Yeah. Uh this is Fire Gate, the gate to the south. It's painted red, decorated with a depiction of a phoenix. Has a bit bug-eyed after someone tried to touch it up and didn't do a very good job. Um, it's pretty easy for you guys to get into town. It's when you start approaching the fort, the things get a little dicey. You can see people carrying torches walking the upper perimeter. Um, and you're gonna have to go over this like patrol area if you're gonna spider climb over the wall into that uh first kind of hallway there. Uh so your plan is to are you casting invisibility for this?

SPEAKER_01 33:26

Yeah, so I think we'll sit for a while, we'll stake it out, watch the patrols, and see like when there's a gap, we'll cast shared invisibility.

SPEAKER_06 33:33

So seven hours go by. After like, you know, it's not time yet, guys. We gotta wait.

SPEAKER_01 33:40

Wait. I don't feel comfortable for the gap.

SPEAKER_07 33:43

I'm so hungry. Wait for the gap.

SPEAKER_01 33:46

They're only on the other side of the wall right now.

SPEAKER_07 33:48

Garnets, can you make more eggs? I just throw you a raw steak.

SPEAKER_06 33:53

You all benefit from a long rap. Um you all just seem to like wink out your ghostly figures no longer visible. Um, who cast spider climb?

SPEAKER_07 34:10

Uh so I am doing quick alchemy to make four spider climbs for us that will last a minute and give us a climb speed of 15.

SPEAKER_04 34:18

Which also means we don't get our elixir of life.

SPEAKER_07 34:21

No, it it does. I'm using the uh quick alchemy for this one because I never use it in combat. I don't. So I'm giving I'm still giving you all of the elixir of life for today.

SPEAKER_06 34:31

This loser doesn't know what quick alchemy is. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_07 34:33

I use quick alchemy when I have plenty of time.

SPEAKER_01 34:35

We could be using this all the time.

SPEAKER_07 34:38

But yeah, so you still have your elixir, and we all have spider climb for one minute to easily get up and over the wall. Okay. Invisibly.

SPEAKER_06 34:49

I really love this plan, actually, because like it's every thief's perfect scenario, right? You get to go straight up the wall, you have those suction cup things on your hands, and uh, you're perfectly invisible. Everyone give me a self-check with a plus four. You can follow the expert.

SPEAKER_07 35:03

Mm-hmm. You get a plus twelve for that, and then plus four, so sixteen. Sounds right. See here. That's what I remember. Okay. Ooh, I'm gonna need to.

SPEAKER_03 35:10

33.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

34.

SPEAKER_04 35:14

Dirty 20. Plus four is uh 33.

SPEAKER_06 35:20

You are up on the roof, and you're walking over to the other side, and you hear footsteps start rushing over on the walkway underneath you. Just like what would that be? Like three, four feet underneath you, right? You guys are on the roof, this walk walkway is like 15, 20 feet high. Torches come rushing over, and they start like looking down on the ground underneath. They run over to the other side and look down into the lumber storage, and you guys just keep going on, descending down into the other side. I will take you oh oh god, to the map. And we're dead.

SPEAKER_07 36:10

By the way, this morning I prepped and cast Vital Beacon on myself. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 36:15

And did you change your your powers and stuff? Okay.

SPEAKER_07 36:18

We all have phase out.

SPEAKER_01 36:19

Because we've been burned by that before. At least Ari has.

SPEAKER_06 36:25

We're inside.

SPEAKER_01 36:26

Okay, guys, we did it.

SPEAKER_06 36:28

You guys are still invisible in that last 10 minutes?

SPEAKER_01 36:31

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 36:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 36:32

This is a very narrow like place in between these two walls.

SPEAKER_06 36:36

Yeah, it's only about five feet wide, and the walls curve up to the north and continue on to the west. You see, there is a door directly behind you. You know that leads to the lumber storage that you uh burnt down a while ago. And then you just see uh doors going up on the north side, and way, way, way off on the west side on the opposite wall, you see more doors. You have a lot of options here. You are about equidistance from south gate and east gate. Let's go indoor. Uh yeah, pick a door, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 37:09

I think we should head towards the center. So the door.

SPEAKER_01 37:13

There's three.

SPEAKER_04 37:14

There's two.

SPEAKER_01 37:15

Everybody's looking at a door. So we open the door. One, two, three.

SPEAKER_07 37:19

Let's do the one right next to Ari. Yeah, yeah. Open the door leading further in.

SPEAKER_01 37:23

So that you said what leads to where the lumber was.

SPEAKER_03 37:27

And then the one behind us, I think, is the Yeah, the one to the southeast of you.

SPEAKER_01 37:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 37:34

Because you wouldn't be able to spy on one of the inner rings. You wouldn't be able to like walk up to the fortress, look through a window into the inner ring. So that lumber storage is behind you uh on the farther the outer ring.

SPEAKER_01 37:46

Sounds good.

SPEAKER_06 37:46

Um, and you know this to be a really large room. Uh, when you guys looked into it, it was, you know, from gate to gate sort of thing. Looking in, uh, directly in front of you is a gate. Uh this first door uh is is a gate, not really a door like some of the other ones. It's actually left slightly ajar. It's painted with an image of maybe a chicken. You can't quite tell.

SPEAKER_03 38:13

I love chicken.

SPEAKER_01 38:14

Um I'm gonna have Pops lead the way because you're you're the stealthiest of us. Okay. Um so Ari is just kind of like she grabs your arm because we can all see each other, and she kind of pulls you forward um and motions towards the door. Okay. So we would switch bolts.

SPEAKER_06 38:30

I don't know if we I'm not too worried about where you are exactly. Cool.

SPEAKER_01 38:35

Well, I'm just worried about getting into a fight.

SPEAKER_06 38:38

Okay. Um, and this just seems to be um a clear through and through gate on the other side. It's identical to the one you just came through. A door on the opposite wall towards the center.

SPEAKER_03 38:50

Let's do next door over.

SPEAKER_07 38:52

The other door? Another door. Yeah, this is just a hallway. A door leading to an empty hallway, my favorite.

SPEAKER_06 39:00

We'll close a door, right? You guys another door.

SPEAKER_07 39:05

Empty hallway. We'll close that door behind us too.

SPEAKER_01 39:08

Get off of me.

SPEAKER_07 39:10

Alright, so other door then. Is this one unlocked?

unknown 39:15

Oop.

SPEAKER_06 39:16

You open the door and you actually see and hear commotion coming from the other side. This shelf-filled room contains an eclectic mess of anything that might be useful but doesn't have its own dedicated space, such as lumber saws, maintenance equipment, bundles of branches, animal pelts, dried bamboo stocks, and clay for patching up holes in the wall. And you see three figures hurriedly at work in here.

SPEAKER_07 39:40

We're still invisible, right?

SPEAKER_06 39:41

For a little bit.

SPEAKER_07 39:42

So the door just kind of slides open.

SPEAKER_06 39:44

Um, they're busy, they don't really seem to notice at this point.

SPEAKER_01 39:48

Um, do these look like they are servants? Like based off of their attire.

SPEAKER_06 39:54

They look like exorcists.

SPEAKER_07 39:56

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 39:57

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_07 39:58

Should we fight? Yeah, let's we should kill these guys for sure.

SPEAKER_01 40:02

I well, um okay. Um right now we have the ability to do some reconnaissance. So I think we have a few minutes of invisibility. We can kind of see how much we can uncover. Um, because once we're visible, there's not much we can do.

SPEAKER_04 40:17

Yeah. Is there is there any other doors in that room? Can you see Jeff?

SPEAKER_07 40:21

Uh not that I can see. There's like big shelving shelves in the way in the middle of the room that I can't really see past very well. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 40:28

I I think we should go back to that hall and keep going towards the center.

SPEAKER_01 40:32

At least see. At least see what's on the other side.

SPEAKER_06 40:35

You guys know you have about two or three minutes left of invisibility. Okay. Fine, hurry. Click clock, click, clock.

SPEAKER_01 40:41

Okay. So um clock clock, click, clock. Pops, go first.

SPEAKER_06 40:44

Okay. Uh, everybody's stacked on torchlight coming from the northern side. Here we go.

SPEAKER_01 40:52

Everybody get in, close the door. Yeah. At least to the point that it was before. Because it was slightly open. Okay. And then Ari will too.

SPEAKER_07 41:00

And we'll try this door. I closed the door and now Ari can't get past it.

SPEAKER_01 41:06

I'm like zoomed out, so I didn't realize what's going on. Hey!

SPEAKER_07 41:12

Okay, so open open the next door and look inside the courtyard.

SPEAKER_01 41:18

And this is Pops doing it. Please. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 41:23

Pops hold just step through the threshold. I'm coming.

SPEAKER_01 41:28

Just yeah. Wait for him to describe it before everybody moves.

SPEAKER_06 41:32

Yeah, I just go through enough just to see. Remember when Kyle tried to kill the whole party by doing that?

SPEAKER_01 41:37

Yeah, it was in a different campaign though.

SPEAKER_06 41:39

Um beautifully tended garden occupies the fortress's central central courtyard, a covered well at the center. Several well-pruned cotton trees dot the area at aesthetically pleasing intervals. Their branches are currently bare, giving the impression of jagged spines reaching up toward the sky. A colorful canopy has been erected on poles in the southern part of the garden, under which rugs, a chair, and a table set with tea and snacks uh have been set up, but it uh, you know, there's only like saucers and like a tea set there now. Um otherwise it is barren out here. We don't see anyone.

SPEAKER_01 42:17

We must go down the well.

SPEAKER_06 42:22

Let's go kill those exorcists. I agree. And you guys wink back into existence.

SPEAKER_03 42:28

What? We're visible again. Oh, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 42:31

Yeah, so I think we should get out of this courtyard. Um, because you could see in from other places, right? Like windows and absolutely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 42:40

It's the center courtyard. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 42:42

Okay. Let's go. So we go kill Exorcists? Yes.

SPEAKER_01 42:45

So we'll move back, and then he said there were torches coming down the hallway, so I think we should wait and make sure that they pass by.

SPEAKER_06 42:53

Okay. You guys see the torches pass by.

SPEAKER_01 42:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 42:57

There's clearly a patrol going on. Okay. So they're just walking loops.

SPEAKER_01 43:02

Yeah. Okay. Just walk in loops.

SPEAKER_03 43:05

Let's go fight.

SPEAKER_07 43:06

Back to other door. Kill Exorcists.

SPEAKER_04 43:11

I think we should uh I think we should follow that. Um we should follow the patrol and try another door.

SPEAKER_06 43:18

Damn it. Yeah, I don't know. So Gardas is already gone. Gardas has left. He walked in the other room. The three of you guys are here making a plan.

SPEAKER_03 43:27

We have to follow Gardas. He dies.

SPEAKER_01 43:29

I'm really this is really frustrating, okay? Because like why are you going without talking?

SPEAKER_07 43:36

I thought we already talked about it.

SPEAKER_01 43:37

No, we didn't. You just really want to do this. It's very frustrating. We can't do anything because you just barrel through. Like if okay.

SPEAKER_07 43:47

I thought we already talked about it. No. Violet agreed with me.

SPEAKER_06 43:56

So, Gardas, do you start attacking them?

SPEAKER_07 43:59

No. No.

SPEAKER_06 44:02

What do you do? I can't the game is currently paused. Yeah, I paused it because everyone's moving themselves and then stopping to talk. And so I just want to make sure that uh we're doing things canonically. So Gardas is in the other room. You guys, the patrol passed, Gardas runs to the other room, and then rather than following him, I feel like Pop stuck out his arm and is like, what if we follow this patrol?

SPEAKER_04 44:28

Well, yeah, like we we stacked up on the door and we waited for them to pass, and that was going to be his next thought. And then Jeff left.

SPEAKER_01 44:35

Yeah. I don't think we should be trying to pick fights right now. If we are seen, then we can fight and then flee as um a backup option. Like we're trying to get reconnaissance, but if we just pick a fight, then we know there's people that are literally patrolling the hallways.

SPEAKER_07 44:57

Since this was not a reconnaissance mission, we're not trying to get reconnaissance right now. Would you ram the- I thought we were just trying to bust into the city?

SPEAKER_01 45:06

Our ultimate goal is to get our lantern.

SPEAKER_07 45:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 45:09

So why would we start picking fights in here? We know how powerful they are. Like the whole goal was to just get inside so that we can get our fucking lantern back.

SPEAKER_04 45:18

It's called the element of surprise, Jeff. How are we gonna get our lantern back? Well, first we find it, and then maybe we can just leave with it.

SPEAKER_01 45:25

We might not have to fight anybody. We know there will be combat, but I don't think we need to just go out and start killing everybody because we always lose that fight in this situation. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 45:38

Violet agreed with me when I said kill the exorcist.

SPEAKER_01 45:41

So Violet's gonna agree with you.

SPEAKER_07 45:44

That was all you needed. Alright, fine. Gargus will follow. I'm doing whatever. If I walked into the room, then I'll just where is everybody and just step right up back out of the room?

SPEAKER_04 45:52

Oops. Oops. This isn't where I parked my car. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 45:56

And I think moving forward, we should talk before we move our pawns. Just general rules.

SPEAKER_06 46:05

Do they see Gardas? You guys uh have free reign to do what you need to do, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 46:11

I'm gonna step into the hallway.

SPEAKER_06 46:13

Open the door first. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 46:15

There we go. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 46:17

This gate! It's in the way.

SPEAKER_07 46:19

Where the hell were you guys? Thought you were back at me up.

SPEAKER_01 46:22

Shut up, Gardus. Let's go. Be quiet.

SPEAKER_06 46:26

Okay. You guys start making your way west along the circle. You see up ahead of you on this uh southwest corner, the patrol stops outside of these wide double doors. And as they open the door, you see light flooding out, and despite the lateness of the hour, a lot of noise. And they go inside, and just a few seconds later, different people, same uniform, same look, uh, but clearly different people, walk out and continue moving west and north up the circle, uh, continuing the patrol as if there was a changing of the guard. Uh, but you can tell that there are quite a few people in one of those rooms.

SPEAKER_04 47:14

Okay. So uh it's safe to say that we made it up to like where Courtney's cursor is at.

SPEAKER_06 47:20

I I wouldn't even say that far, I would say maybe here, unless you guys want to start collectively giving me self-checks. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:26

I feel like we were watching from afar. Um it might be good for you to just kind of peek around the corner, and then if we need to, we can go back and check out some of these other rings because or the other doors behind us.

SPEAKER_04 47:36

Okay. Um I want to sneak up to this corner right here and have a peek into this little short hallway.

SPEAKER_06 47:45

Uh, you know that that is South Gate.

SPEAKER_04 47:48

Okay. And it's barred from the inside, I assume.

SPEAKER_06 47:51

Nope.

SPEAKER_04 47:52

Not barred.

SPEAKER_06 47:53

Does not look to be um sealed off in any way.

SPEAKER_04 47:56

Okay. And and um. So that leads outside. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 48:02

Um And that's where the other guards went, right? Nope.

SPEAKER_04 48:06

No, they are over here. They came out of this door.

SPEAKER_01 48:09

Oh, okay. I can't see that far. I guess I'll move forward.

SPEAKER_04 48:13

Yeah, yeah. They came out of this door and kept going around that way. So uh that's almost certainly the barracks.

SPEAKER_01 48:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 48:20

I don't know if I want to be next to the barracks. Should we where should we go? I mean, you know where I want to go.

SPEAKER_03 48:29

We could check those other two doors that we were behind us.

SPEAKER_01 48:31

Let's go back and uh check out the lumber room. We know that they already looked in there. I think when we crossed over the the um wall that there was some sort of alarm that went off.

SPEAKER_03 48:47

Probably just guard us.

SPEAKER_01 48:48

Yeah. Calm, calm, calm, calm.

SPEAKER_04 48:51

I am wearing like wooden shoes. Pops listens at the door.

SPEAKER_06 48:55

Give me a perception check. Perception check.

SPEAKER_01 48:58

You're doing the southern one.

SPEAKER_04 49:00

Yeah. Okay. Nineteen on dice plus perception sixteen for a 35.

SPEAKER_06 49:06

You hear absolutely nothing.

SPEAKER_04 49:08

Uh Pops will open the door.

SPEAKER_06 49:12

Um, you see this long curving room. It was once stacked with logs and lumber, planks of all shapes and sizes, but has since burned down and is filled with ash and soot. Uh, there is still a collection of puddles where they have used water to put out was what was once a raging fire.

SPEAKER_04 49:30

And pops will step in and have a look. Okay, yeah. Is what it says on the tin.

SPEAKER_06 49:41

And again, this map doesn't really represent well what you guys are seeing because you've burned this room down.

SPEAKER_04 49:47

The room had it coming.

SPEAKER_06 49:49

The room had it coming.

SPEAKER_01 49:50

Can I do a perception check to see if there's anything left behind? Sure.

SPEAKER_04 49:54

Can we close the door behind us?

SPEAKER_01 49:55

Yep. It's closed. 23.

SPEAKER_06 49:59

You find like the head of a shovel, because it's made out of metal and you know, a few loose nails. You do find a ladder on the south that leads up to a small door in the wall located about 15 feet off the ground.

SPEAKER_01 50:14

Pops, you should look up there.

SPEAKER_04 50:16

Okay. Um I assume that takes us up to the the walkway.

SPEAKER_06 50:22

It does.

SPEAKER_04 50:23

I'll just s very as sneakily as I can poke my head up and see what it looks like.

SPEAKER_06 50:29

Uh, it looks like a smaller, more cramped version of the uh center walkway. It's 15 feet off the ground. Um, and again, just kind of like sticking your head through. You don't really have a good angle because the walls are constantly curving, but yeah, I mean, you don't see anyone.

SPEAKER_04 50:45

It's just the walkway that we can see from the ground, right? So like there's no there's no chance of there being any rooms up there. Um so I come back down the ladder and I say, I don't think that's the way we need to go.

SPEAKER_01 50:56

Is there any way we can fit this ladder in our bag of holding?

SPEAKER_06 51:00

I mean you could use the walkway to move around, but you don't know um like where it comes in and out at, and you don't know uh who else you might find up there.

SPEAKER_04 51:13

Yeah, well historically that's been manned, right? With archers. Yeah. Pops takes the ladder down and puts it on the floor. What do we need a ladder for?

SPEAKER_01 51:23

It might be nice. And also it might make you know, it might throw them off a little bit.

SPEAKER_07 51:27

We have rope and more of these spider brew potions.

SPEAKER_01 51:30

Okay, whatever. It's just an idea. You don't have to poo-poo everything I say.

SPEAKER_07 51:35

I feel like sometimes it's my job.

SPEAKER_01 51:39

Okay, so that was both of the doors there lead into this room.

SPEAKER_03 51:45

Should we wait for the patrol to walk by and then run up the run up north and see if see if there's more doors? Sure. Pops listens at the door for the patrol.

SPEAKER_06 51:54

And it's pretty easy to tell, um, especially when you're at the door. One of the things you've noticed though is that like, as far as you can tell, this room is seemingly entirely abandoned. Um otherwise, the people are talking, they're pretty casual. Um, you know, they're not talking in whispers or anything like that. And of course, the torch uh that they're carrying with them kind of always signifies their position. So uh they walk past and you wait a few moments afterwards.

SPEAKER_03 52:21

You guys, maybe we could move into this room.

SPEAKER_04 52:25

Just live here. Yeah, just set up shop. Oh, thank you.

SPEAKER_01 52:28

You're welcome. Let me get that.

SPEAKER_04 52:30

I'll learn how to do that one of these days. Okay, whoa, this door's still open. Okay. So then uh I'll just move down and I'll sneak down and put myself sort of right here where I can see around the corner.

SPEAKER_06 52:50

And you've come to Eastern Gate. This is the one you guys tried to sneak in before. It's painted green, decorated with a golden squiggle that vaguely resembles a dragon. And uh a couple of days ago it looked notably fresh. It is still currently kind of closed. Looking up uh north, you see a uh I guess you guys would only see one door, huh? On the uh inner wall to the west there.

SPEAKER_04 53:17

Yeah, I think I think the hypothesis's next move would be kind of like this.

SPEAKER_06 53:23

This is like diagonal into a crevice kind of around a corner. So we have to do that door.

SPEAKER_04 53:32

I think that's just the other side of that door. I'm starting to think artists might be right.

SPEAKER_06 53:52

You slowly open the door. You slowly open the door and you make eye contact.

SPEAKER_01 54:14

Hello.

SPEAKER_06 54:17

With someone that actually looks a little familiar.

SPEAKER_04 54:20

Oh, is it one of our one of our friends?

SPEAKER_06 54:24

Everyone roll initiative. We're gonna keep your 23 life for initiative. If you have bonuses to initiative, I'll go ahead and add those. Uh most of you, I think, would be adding stealth for your initiative unless you have an argument for something else.

SPEAKER_01 54:39

I think that's fair.

SPEAKER_06 54:42

Violet.

SPEAKER_03 54:43

22?

SPEAKER_07 54:46

If we're using stealth and I was following the expert, then 19.

SPEAKER_06 54:49

Were you following the expert?

SPEAKER_07 54:51

Yeah. I was just like behind uh pops the whole time. Everybody kept shooting down my ideas. Yeah, so I was just like 26.

SPEAKER_01 55:05

What's the big guy's name? Kaimago.

SPEAKER_07 55:08

Kaimago. No, that that's not somebody we would recognize, though.

SPEAKER_01 55:12

That's true.

SPEAKER_07 55:12

It was one of the three that were doing the uh Cao Chen. Yeah, we still got we got a sheet for that. I'm looking for I think we got all of their names. We did, yeah. Where did I write it down? Shigua, Fin Feng, and Cao Chen. Yeah, the Fin Feng the Dragon.

SPEAKER_01 55:34

Shigua was the girl?

SPEAKER_07 55:36

No, Finfeng.

SPEAKER_01 55:38

Shigu was the dumb one.

SPEAKER_07 55:40

Right. And then Cao Chin was the leader-looking one. But who was it? Like one of them, Finfeng. Here's my notes. Finfeng has been influenced by Kugopti. So we know that she, at the very least, uh, was influenced. So I don't know what that means, but I assume she's on Kugopti's side.

SPEAKER_06 56:09

Pops, you open this door and you make eye contact with Fin Fang, the female exorcist that held your seance.

SPEAKER_04 56:19

Hello. My name is Sorayanra Cool. What is your name?

SPEAKER_06 56:24

Um and she is going to blast out a spell.

SPEAKER_04 56:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 56:30

All of you give me a will save. Oh, that'll probably play.

SPEAKER_01 56:34

Is this against fear?

SPEAKER_06 56:38

No.

SPEAKER_03 56:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 56:39

33.

SPEAKER_06 56:41

Standard pass.

SPEAKER_04 56:42

30.

SPEAKER_06 56:43

Standard pass.

SPEAKER_04 56:45

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 56:46

34.

SPEAKER_03 56:48

Nice. Standard pass. It's crazy. 19 on the dice is a standard pass. We should kill it.

SPEAKER_01 56:53

19 is my role as well.

SPEAKER_07 56:55

37.

SPEAKER_06 56:57

Standard pass.

SPEAKER_07 56:58

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 56:59

38.

SPEAKER_06 57:00

DC 29.

SPEAKER_01 57:02

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 57:04

For one round, the creature can't use reactions and must attempt another save at the start of its turn. On a failure, it is slowed one for that turn as it sobs uncontrollably. Wow. As you guys are hit with crushing despair. You open the door, you make eye contact, she raises her hands and says, You will not take us. And then, I don't know, Re-Shield, what else can she do?

SPEAKER_07 57:27

So what on a pass, nothing happens?

SPEAKER_06 57:30

No, that was everyone passed. Okay. That's the effect.

SPEAKER_01 57:34

We have no reactions for this round, and we must make another attempt.

SPEAKER_06 57:39

On your turn, you will make another save.

SPEAKER_07 57:42

Holy shit. That's a success.

SPEAKER_06 57:44

Yes. Yes. Failure is this effect lasts for one minute rather than on your turn.

SPEAKER_07 57:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 57:51

Um success doesn't always mean that you just get out.

SPEAKER_07 57:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 57:56

And then she starts barking orders at her minions there. Actually, she's like, I can't see what's going on.

SPEAKER_01 58:03

Why am I so sad?

SPEAKER_06 58:06

And then we will go to Ari's turn.

SPEAKER_01 58:08

Okay. Um, so Ari will, I guess, move up. Make your will save. I didn't move to that spot, but my mouse got stuck. Um, would the will save be at the end of a turn? Usually no.

SPEAKER_06 58:20

Literally, because you would be slowed for this turn if you don't pass. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 58:25

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_06 58:26

At the start of its turn.

SPEAKER_01 58:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 58:29

I hope you fail.

SPEAKER_01 58:30

That was an actual 20, but it was cracked. Um, that is a 30. So I passed.

SPEAKER_06 58:37

It changes.

SPEAKER_01 58:38

Oh.

SPEAKER_07 58:39

Probably lowers. It doesn't change.

SPEAKER_01 58:41

Okay. So it was a critical success? You're fine. Feels like a critical success. So she moved up a total of five, ten, fifteen feet. And they're supposed to be in this room.

SPEAKER_06 58:57

They're absolutely in that room, but I said she moved back. Okay. I really, really love uh the like actual line of sight. Can't see anything.

SPEAKER_01 59:05

I see a wheelbarrow, looks like some pots or like vases on a table. Um you're gonna have to get in there. Something with a crank. It looks like a what's the thing where you grind weapons on?

SPEAKER_07 59:16

A grinder.

SPEAKER_01 59:17

Is that what it's called? That's a whetstone?

SPEAKER_06 59:20

No, you said what do you use to sharpen weapons when I said grind weapons on?

SPEAKER_04 59:24

I think it's a grinding stone, right?

SPEAKER_01 59:26

Grinding stone, yep, I see that.

SPEAKER_04 59:27

Uh just throw your fireball in there.

SPEAKER_01 59:28

Okay. Fireball. Um, she's going to if you want to reserve, you can get free movement.

SPEAKER_04 59:36

Oh, no, wait. Never mind. She already moved.

unknown 59:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 59:39

Yeah. She's going to cast a blur on herself.

SPEAKER_06 59:44

Okay. Move two action spell. Make sure you track that. Pops.

SPEAKER_04 59:50

Pops, as part of initiative, put his eminence in Thousand League sandals. I'm gonna one action trigger that so everybody gets to move. Will save. Close the door. Oh yeah, I'll do my will save. Sorry. So don't we have to use reactions to move? Yeah. Oh yeah, that's right. Oh shit. Well, I get to move. Here's my will save.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:11

Do I have a reaction now?

SPEAKER_06 1:00:12

You do have a reaction.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:13

There's uh 15 on the dice plus will 17 for a uh 32.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:19

Oh yeah, so you can. Thank you. You're good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:21

Okay. And clear to the effect. Yep. Okay. So then I'll take my movement from that action.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:26

So make sure you're going through that door or it's gonna stop you. Okay. You can tell because of the line you've dotted.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:32

That's five feet. Oh, you close the door. Close it. Sorry. You close it again. Stop it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:38

Stop it. This is his biggest struggle. I'm trying to learn to not overcome doors.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:43

It's also sad because I was trying to help him, and so like I click it open, and then he'd click it close, and then I he'd click it open so I click it closed.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:52

Can I get up against this wall here? Yeah, I'm gonna do that. Okay. Uh oh, I'll do one more so I can maybe flank. Okay. Uh I zigzag, I serpentine through the room. And uh here comes the bonk. Natural 20.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:08

Oh no. She's dead already. Oh my goodness. Hell yeah. You walk up to this first exorcist and just slam them.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:16

Yep, and that looks like stone to me. Uh, so I do believe it's actually plastic. Yeah. Uh born of the land down. Okay. Okay, uh, let's get some damage going here. So I I shifted over to Titanbreaker, so I have the I need 2d8 plus 12. Yeah, 2d8 plus 12.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:38

Do these ones. Do you get to use the six?

SPEAKER_04 1:01:40

Not on this one, because I only if it's only if it's the two action one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh not bad. So that is 9 plus 12 is 21 plus the double though. Uh that is a 42 bonk plus bones of the earth. Um, so he is automatically driven into the ground. Target is immobilized, must succeed at an escape attempt against your class DC to end immobilization.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:12

This is because of the stone floor.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:14

Yep. Railway spike. Bonk. So that is two actions.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:23

42, correct?

SPEAKER_04 1:02:24

Yep, 42. And here comes another swing. Why not? That was your damage? Yep. It doesn't seem like a lot. I rolled kind of low on my they're not not super great. My big swing. My big crit is when I get to use my Titan Breaker.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:42

19 on dice for my second swing. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:46

We hate this guy.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:49

19 uh plus 19 um is 38 minus 5 is uh 33. Is that a crit?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:01

They're only immobilized, nothing else.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:04

Um yeah, they're driven into the ground. Target is immobilized. Must succeed on an escape attempt against will DC.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:12

33 is a hit.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:14

Just a regular old hit. Okay. Here comes the Dimage. Low damage. Three on dice plus 12 for 15 damage. And that's my turn. Oh my god, he's only injured.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:32

These guys are tough.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:37

This other exorcist steps around the corner to kind of flank with pops. Flank pops, I should say, not with pops.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:46

He's on our side.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:50

And then with its torch tries to strike you with it.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:58

Purifying flames.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:00

Can't light us on fire.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:03

Oh, terrible roll. 23.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:08

Miss.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:09

That's so sad. Um, and that's its turn. And then we'll go to Violet.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:16

Violet's gonna storm in, classic threatening approach style.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:20

Wait, we all have to do a wheel save first, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:04:22

Oh yes. Here we give. Tony, what happens when you get a natural one?

SPEAKER_00 1:04:28

Oh, buddy. You're slow.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:32

I'm just slowed.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:33

I think you're just slowed.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:34

Okay. So I get two actions.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:37

Okay. So still a threatening approach.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:40

You will have to cry also. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:41

Oh, yeah, that is part of it. Sobbing as you're threatening.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:44

Does he get his reaction?

SPEAKER_06 1:04:47

For one round, the creature can use reactions and must attempt another save at the start of its turn on a failure. It is slowed one for that turn as it sobs uncontrollably.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:56

Okay, so fail you can't go that way. He keeps trying over and over and over again.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:02

Yeah, I'm trying to get this hard to go through.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:05

Yeah, yeah. I had the same issue, but I I figured it out faster.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:08

Again, solid object. And then made fun of him for it. Yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:13

Just watching as the dotted line kept showing up and he could just kept clicking.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:17

Uh intimidation. Um does a 31 intimidate.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:23

Uh standard success.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:24

Alright, they are frightened too.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:26

Threatening approach. This dinosaur just comes through the door with its frills out. Yeah, just screaming and promising. Crocodile tears.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:38

And that's all you can do, right? That's all I can do. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:42

Gardas.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:43

Uh, I'm going to cast protection on myself. Wait, I need to do a will save first. Gardus, closed door. Uh that's probably fine. 16 plus 17. 33. Standard pass. Okay. Which is all you need. So cast. Protection on myself, and then I can use the reaction I just did for my zealous rush, which gives me 20 foot of move. One. Holy shit, this is crowded in here.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:11

Yeah, you have to go through Ari Space if you want to go.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:14

Two through. So wait. One, two, three, four. Okay, I tell me if I can shit.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:28

Well, you already moved one diagonal. Yeah, yeah. And then five, ten, twenty would put you right here.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:33

That's where I was trying to get to. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:35

So you have to go through violet space.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:39

Which makes it twenty.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:40

Just go through violet space. It just won't it won't let me. You can also go down on your D-pad.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:44

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:46

Or your right directional arrows.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:50

Now I have to go back up. You're left. You're bagging him. Okay. That's where I got to.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:56

He's demoralized for sure. Wait.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:59

Which which one is Fin Fang? The one with the band-aid. Okay, her.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:04

I can't see them at all.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:05

I say, hey, it's Fin Fang. She's corrupted by Kukapdi. Get her. And then I attack the other guy. And then we all get all three of us are attacking this one.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:13

Get her. After this one.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:15

Alright, close the door.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:16

I will.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:18

Um so attack on the one that I'm closest to. Oh, that's a natural 20. Yes. Uh 2D twelve plus one D6 for my cold. Oh my my kids play with my dice more often now, and they're all just scattered around. I have no idea. They're not organized anymore. Time to get rid of them. New kids. Send them back. Or no kids. New kids. You're adults now.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:55

Go figure it out. Done enough.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:58

Wait. 19 plus 4 is 23 times 2 is 46 points of damage. Nice.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:05

Big hit. So yeah, 46 points of damage. And that is near death. It.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:14

Well, now it's finally their turn. After they've just been absolutely mangled.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:21

Only one of them.

unknown 1:08:24

Poor guy.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:29

I don't like this. I just saw heal pop up.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:34

Now who's ruining it?

SPEAKER_03 1:08:36

Courtney. Yay. Those of us who are literate can't ruin it.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:46

But at least no spoilers.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:50

Blasts off some healing. But really only affecting herself. As no one else was injured at all, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:09:02

No.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:04

Then we will go to the beginning of round two. And Fenfang will go.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:10

This one's scary.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:12

And we'll cast another spell on. We'll do it on Pops. Bring it. Give me a will save.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:21

Come on, Pops.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:23

That is a natural one.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:25

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:26

What wow.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:27

Hmm.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:29

Amazing.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:30

Right into dice jail.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:31

Hey Tony, what happens when somebody gets a natural one? She casts Phantom Pain. Ouch.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:37

On Pops. Pops becomes sickened to.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:42

Okay. As a piece of shrapnel grows out of my forehead.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:51

Phantom shrapnel. Do you think Phantom Pain is especially effective against us on account of us being phantoms? I was just making a metal gear reference, is all.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:02

You suddenly realize that you've had your leg amputated and it really hurts.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:09

I once had a tail.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:12

I remember now.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:13

It's just cramped the whole time. Somebody get me a mirror.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:18

Is my tail okay? What tail?

unknown 1:10:25

That's fine.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:27

19 points of mental damage.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:31

Cool. You're gonna be taking some persistent damage there as well.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:37

That happens on your turn.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:39

Okay. At the beginning of my turn, I assume.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:43

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:45

What?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:45

And 74 of persistent damage.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:51

She tries to create more space. Ari.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:55

It's my turn. Okay. Ari will start by doing her Durge of Doom. So she or actually she will close the door. Boop. And then instead of Dirge of Doom, she will do Hymn of Healing on Pops. So she starts just like quietly singing. Hush now, little baby. You're gonna be fine. And that's her turn.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:25

Do you heal?

SPEAKER_01 1:11:26

Uh yeah. 24.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:29

24. Excellent.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:30

And uh no no no, sorry, sorry, sorry. It's eight. It's I'm used to doing this um just like out of combat. So it's eight now, uh fast healing and then eight temporary hit points.

unknown 1:11:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:45

So the only thing he gets right now is the eight temporary.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:49

And then the fast healing on his turn.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:50

Isn't that how fast healing works?

SPEAKER_01 1:11:52

I think so.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:54

I like how you just like never use the spell in your healing spelling combat. You're like, I don't know how this works to her base.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:59

It's because it's two actions and it's not very much at a time, so usually I'll just use my soothe. Uh monster with fast healing, you gains the given number of hit points each round at the beginning of its turn. You'll get eight on your turn, and you have eight temporary hit points right now.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:15

Okay. Well, then it pops its turn.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:20

Kill that guy.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:21

Uh damage? You would like that first, wouldn't you? I would. Let's get that cleared up. Does my second go down or do I have to attempt to retch?

SPEAKER_06 1:12:31

It does not go down, and I don't believe retching would help with this particular case. Cool.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:37

FYI, um, it might not matter right now, but you do take persistent damage at the end of each of your turns.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:44

Oh, thank you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:45

So my health goes up by eight. And then I don't have to do anything for that spell that was just cast on me. So we're going to um spark transcendence on Titanbreaker. I'm gonna shift that over to Thousand League Sandals, and here comes the big bonk. It's uh 13 on dice plus 19 for a 32.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:14

Are you sh uh off guard, feared one. I did the fear. I was looking at the fear. The off guard from flanking does make that a crit.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:23

Hell yeah. Nice. Nice. Hell yeah. He's dead. There's no way he's gonna survive this.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:28

He healed up a little bit.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:29

I don't care what happened.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:31

Ooh, not the best damage dice. Doesn't matter. Uh four. Still dead. 22 is 30, and even 30 twice is 60.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:40

I thought 30 was your final answer.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:42

60 damage. Splat.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:47

You successfully annihilate an exorcist.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:50

I like to think that you it's the second time you drove him into the ground, so he just boom gets all the way to ribbon down. Like you can see the top of his head right there at the ground.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:59

I think the entire head is above ground, it's just pasted flat across the 5-5 square.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:06

Uh so that's uh two actions. And then I will.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:13

Were you calculating your second and you're to hit?

SPEAKER_04 1:14:15

Oh, oh no, I was not. I'm sorry. Let's fix that.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:19

So it would have only been 31.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:22

That's my bad. Yeah, because it's one one per each condition, right? So yeah, it would have been 31. My bad.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:29

Just enough to critically. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:31

Okay, good. Fricking barely. And then I think Pops is going to use the last of his actions to move to the south here. And uh we're gonna try and cut off Fin Fang there. Yeah, Fin Fang. We're gonna get into a position sort of like that.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:52

You take 18 points of mental damage?

SPEAKER_04 1:14:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:57

Take your temporary hit points first. Oh, if you haven't already.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:01

He took his eight cost healing.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:03

So it'll be it'll be ten. If I'm not again, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. And that's my turn.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:13

Um, this other exorcist will take a step to the northwest. Look at Violet. Go alert the guards. Give me a will save.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:24

Um, twenty two. Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:29

Fail.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:30

No. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:31

For the first action on your next turn, the creature must use a single action to do as you are commanded. Sick. And we're done. So, Violet, it is your turn.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:43

Alright. I'm gonna spend my action to get up to the door. Screaming the whole way.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:50

Well, it's the first action, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:15:51

Yeah. Yeah. And then he stops at the door. And then I stop at the door. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:54

Screaming the whole way.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:55

Screaming the whole way. Wait, what am I doing?

SPEAKER_03 1:15:58

Wait a minute. Violet, no! Oh jeez. I'm trying to get out of the. And then I'm gonna spend my uh why is it doing that?

SPEAKER_01 1:16:06

So use use your arrows on on your computer. It's just really hard. Go through Ari Space. Thank you.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:13

It's just really hard to get around this terrain in here. It's so tight.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:17

You have to go through Ari Space.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:20

Um so my first two actions are to move across the room trying to alert the guard and then to move back to try to fight. And my third action is gonna be a shielding taunt, so I'm gonna raise my shield and tell him he can only fight. You fight me! Bang on my shield.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:35

Gardas.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:38

I am going to follow Fin Fang. Fen Fang, so I am going to walk around this direction.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:51

To the left.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:53

Yeah. And then get down here around the corner, and I can see Fin Feng there. And I'm going to uh point at her and say, you have been corrupted by Kugapti. Uh, take this. And I'm casting the ghost power spite. It's two actions. So Fin Feng, give me a will save.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:22

Fuck you. Ghost powers are worthless. Never use them again. Stupid. Yeah, it might turn over.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:32

Uh then we will go to the beginning of round three.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:36

Uh Gardus like looks at his finger and. I thought that would have done something, I mean.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:45

Raises her hands to cast a spell on Pops. Give me a will save.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:50

Does that does it does that have a manipulate action?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:53

This does have a manipulate action.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:55

Ooh, then reactive strike. Do it. Okay, so.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:00

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:03

Uh you lash out a foe that leaves an opening, make a melee strike against the triggering creature.

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:41

And she moves up to be closer to her exorcist buddy. And we'll go to Ari.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:51

Okay. Ari will sustain him of healing on pops. So he'll get the eight temporary hit points. This lasts for one round.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:00

So keep in mind they don't stack, you just get eight now.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:03

He got a used it.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:39

Alright, pops.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:41

Okay, I'll take my eight points of quick healing. And then I will move up to just south of Fin Fang. And we'll swing. Actually, I'm gonna spark Transcendence. Um, instead of a regular move, I'll spark Transcendence on Thousand League sandals. I don't think it's enough to reach anybody. Well, I suppose Violet could move if Violet wants to and has the reaction.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:09

Uh 15 or 30 feet.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:12

You just moved up to that space, so yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:15

So we would have been everyone's yeah, too far. Unless it was 30 feet, then we might have been okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:20

SPEAKER_04 1:20:22

Uh to get it back over into Titan Breaker so I can do more damage. Okay. And here comes the swing. 14 on dice for uh 33, minus two for a 31, plus one. No? Okay. 31?

SPEAKER_06 1:30:20

This exorcist trapped between Violet and Gardas quickly pours some oil over his torch, and you two need to give me a fortitude save.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:31

What do you think you're doing? Stop that. 31?

SPEAKER_01 1:30:35

Plus one.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:36

32.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:37

23. Oh, did I have um hit points taken away from?

SPEAKER_06 1:30:42

I didn't tell you 15? I thought I told you 15.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:43

Oh, okay. I thought that was true. Okay, never mind, you're good.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:46

Violet, you are unaffected.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:48

Gardus, you are sickened to sickened to from fire? This doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:57

Uh last action.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:59

So yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:01

Uh he doesn't like your attitude, Gardas, so he's gonna swing his torch at you.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:05

I told you to change your attitude, Gardas. Biting you in the ass.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:08

So I'd rather that this son of a bitch right here not like my attitude.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:13

He's got a minus one to his attack.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:15

How long does taunt last?

SPEAKER_03 1:31:17

Until I taunt somebody else or he dies.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:19

It's not like a one-action, one-turn thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:21

Nope.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:22

That's bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:24

It's pretty strong. It's like the entire class feature.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:27

Will you read it so people know what's going on? So it's just a minus one.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:31

With an attention-grabbing gesture, noise, cutting remark, or threatening shout, you attempt to draw an enemy to you instead of your allies. Taunt gains the auditory trait, visual trait, or both, depending on how you draw the target's attention. Even mindless creatures are drawn to your taunts. Choose an enemy within 30 feet. You want to be your taunted enemy. If you taunt the enemy if the taunted enemy takes a hostile action that includes at least one of your allies but doesn't include you, they take a minus one penalty to their attack rolls and DCs for that action. They also become off guard until the start of their next turn. Your enemy remains taunted until the st wait. Oh, there is a thing. Never mind.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:09

Keep going.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:10

Your enemy remains taunted until the start of your next turn, and you can have only one taunt at a time, taunting a new enemy ends his effect uh of any current target. So I mean, I have uh the that's must be why I took the shielding taunt. So every time I raise my shield, I just taunt. Got it.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:27

But you didn't raise your shield last turn, did you?

SPEAKER_03 1:32:29

Yeah, I did. I raised my shield and I did a juggernaut charge. Got it.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:31

Uh okay. So is he taunted?

SPEAKER_03 1:32:34

Um I didn't call it last time, so I'm gonna say no.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:38

If you you raised your shield though, follow the rules. Is this a new one?

SPEAKER_06 1:32:43

I mean, there is a grace period because it's new, but it is funny that you don't know how it works. Uh yeah. I mean if you want to make it. If you're very confident with how you were like, it's until I do it. You should read it just so people know.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:56

So when you raise your shield, they become taunted. Yeah. Um okay. So I guess it's a call from you if you're allowing it.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:05

Well, I looked at Kyle and I was like, and he's like, no. Yeah. I'm like, no. I think you would be. Yeah. You just don't know how your stuff works.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:12

Yeah, I agree. That's 100% true. Okay. Alright, he can be taunted.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:16

Okay. It's a 33 to hit Gardis.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:19

Uh hit. Regular hit. Okay. I'm gonna spend a reaction to intercept the attack.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:28

So you get to roll the damage.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:29

Yep, I'm rolling damage. Uh nine points of bludgeoning damage. Seven. Well, it's better resistance.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:35

Four points of bludgeoning damage.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:36

So you just take the attack? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:39

And six points of fire.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:41

I don't take any damage.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:42

You don't take any damage.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:45

Yeah, the six points of fire?

SPEAKER_03 1:33:47

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:47

It is your turn, Violet.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:49

Okay. Uh raised shield and taunt. Okay. Um and then I got two actions, which feels like more than I need, so I guess I'm gonna.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:57

Your guy's off guard, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:33:58

Yeah, I mean he's off guard anyways because he's playing.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:00

Got it. I can't see.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:01

Yeah. I'm gonna go ahead and try to bite him. That's a natural two for uh 19.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:08

Miss.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:09

Alright. Um, and then I'm going to try to bite him again.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:13

Miss.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:14

And that's a three. Oh, is it critical? Well, oh, I don't know. Um 15. You drop your teeth. So close. So close. You drop your teeth. Your dentures fall out.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:27

Hmm.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:30

Currently sickened two.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:32

Yeah. All checks and DCs. And I'm stunned one, so I only have two actions on this turn. Mm-hmm. Rough. Um. I'm going to raise my finger and point at him. And say, This is what you get when you ally with yourself with Kugapdi. And make a will save.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:51

Will save.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:52

Fail it this time. For the story. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:56

Twenty-four.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:57

The story requires you to fail it.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:00

Umesn't seem like a good role.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:03

It's not great. I guess it's just my spell DC. Which is 24.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:09

Why is it 24?

SPEAKER_07 1:35:11

I don't know. This doesn't say why is my spell DC 24?

SPEAKER_01 1:35:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:15

I don't know, it just always has been. Hasn't changed once. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:19

Mine's 26.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:20

War priests don't accelerate as fast on their casting proficiency. Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:24

Because you suck.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:25

Plus the minus two to your DC.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:28

So a normal success, but the target's skin itches uncontrollably. If the target doesn't spend an action to scratch at the itch, they become off guard until the start of their next turn. This effect lasts for one minute.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:44

They're itchy now.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:48

Oh, two actions you're done.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:49

Yeah, that's two actions, I'm done. I thought that would do more.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:52

To the top of round five as this creature looks to pops. Again, just red, crimson tears streaming from its eyes, butterflies erupting from its head. It raises its clawed hand, and we fake the play.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:50

Well, there's your problem.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:56

It's funny that that's number three on the troubleshooting list.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:00

Turn it on. It is funny when like during surgery, if there's something that's not working and just like hopefully turning it off and on again is gonna help. Otherwise, that's all I can do. I can plug it in again.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:12

Otherwise, I don't really know how to fix it.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:14

It's broken. I guess you don't need cottery.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:18

We're gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:22

Okay, I'm ready. With a with a fire bow. Yeah. You rub the stick until it gets really hot and then you put it on there. Surgical fire. Give me a sterile fire in here.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:32

It's an intentional fire, okay? Not a problem. Don't freak out.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:38

Give me the surgical axe.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:42

I am terrified of a fire in the OR.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:47

Those places are mazes. Fires?

SPEAKER_07 1:37:53

Well, hospitals. Oh yeah. Hospitals are all mazes because like they get built up as the community expands. Yeah. So you have one little building and then they have to build another building like on top of that to make it bigger and stuff. So that's why hospitals are all just mazes. What'd you say?

SPEAKER_06 1:38:12

Our endoscopy department lost an inmate last night.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:16

Lost him? To the end of and and and I can't say it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:23

Did they find him again? Three hours later, they got their EGD.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:25

Oh. Our endoscopy department punctured a hole in somebody's bowel last night.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:32

She sounded like she had a lot going on.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:34

Yeah, she had cancer. It kind of just tore open. It probably would have done it on its own. But still. It sucks. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:40

But they didn't they didn't know until later, right? Like they did the EG or the um the colonoscopy, and then the patient's like, I have pain.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:47

Yeah, but then she had free air in her abdomen.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:50

Oof. Poor thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:51

That sucks. My colon is intact.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:53

That's good. As far as you know.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:55

As far as you know. They looked at it with a camera like a year ago. Yeah. But it's been a year so far so good.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:02

The night is long and you sleep hard. Like, what are you doing now? You're talking about.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:08

I practice medicine, all right.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:10

Brotherly love, okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:12

I wanted to bring something up. Like when you were talking about last week, Kyle, uh what was it? The looking up our humor being a deeply controversial humor. Deeply controversial humor. It reminded me of that the other I made a joke to my family. Uh we were driving past where I had just been shooting, and I'm like, oh yeah, the shooting range is just over on the other side of that Amazon building. And my daughter and wife kind of joke, like, how are you how can you shoot over there? Won't the like how you're shooting at the Amazon building? And I'm like, uh, those people are better off dead anyways. My daughter didn't appreciate that.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:52

She's like, that's mean, Dad. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:54

That was my favorite like headline ever was that Amazon switched over to robots and then they had to install air conditioning because it was too hot for the robots to operate in a factory that they'd had people working in for the last however many years. Yeah. It's pretty messed up.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:08

Yeah, they care about robots more than people.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:10

Um, if the robots can't function, then they don't have any business. The robots are more expensive. Yeah. Exactly.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:16

That's what I laugh at is paying for their healthcare. Yeah. All of these companies replacing people with AI, now that the AI companies have actually started charging for use, it's become more expensive to run the AI than it was to just pay the people. Yeah. Like that's what these companies are finding, and it's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:34

Yeah, it wasn't quite ready for release yet.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:36

No. No, not at all. Needs another 10 years at least.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:41

I mean, for fun, you know. Right, right.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:44

For a fucking chatbot. But when you give chatbot that like the power to refund people's money, yeah, it doesn't work.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:53

I wonder if I can convince a chatbot that I did make a purchase that it doesn't have a record of it.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:57

100% you can. Probably. It is so easy to do. Somebody convinced a chatbot to give them like the password to Obama's uh Twitter account just by asking it. You didn't even have to trick it. You just asked for it and it gave them the password. It's right here.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:16

What else do you want?

SPEAKER_04 1:41:18

Stop bullying me.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:21

They're super sensitive.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:23

Do you know how many dumb questions I've had to answer today? Yes, you need to go to the hospital. For God's sake. That's the last time I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:33

It's probably cancer, but it's fine. You can wait.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:36

Yeah. And also, you should not use me for medical advice.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:41

Listen, you're gonna sharpen your melon baller, all right? It's not that hard.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:47

Getting deep behind your eye.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:51

That's where you'll find your eye.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:56

It's attached to the flavor zone.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:59

The one time I had it tell me that otters had gills. Yeah, that was where it's skin gills.
