The party finds a shrine to a goddess of death which to their relief is exactly what they’re looking for though they don’t necessarily know it. Pushing forward they find what they’ve been looking for however, it might be more than they can handle.

SPEAKER_06 0:30

Your love, not your dignity, something else. A smell from childhood, the sound of a parent's voice, the certainty that you were once headed somewhere. You check your pockets and find a smooth stone you don't remember picking up. A receipt for a purchase, you're sure you never made a note in your own handwriting that simply reads, keep pretending. The crows have begun holding meetings without you. The trees know your schedule. The moon has filed a complaint. Somewhere, a fish remembers your face. Still, somehow, you're doing all right. Cause you found the odd box. Welcome. What single memory would you choose to keep to build the rest of your life on?

SPEAKER_03 1:13

Like I get to I lose the rest of my memories. Um day we were watching a movie, me and the boys, when they were real little. So Simon was like three and Roman was one and Lincoln's five, and we're all watching a movie. And it was some stupid movie like Avatar or something, you know. But we were all wrestling and having a good time. And I'm a sucker for a movie, so anytime there's like a heart. He spiked his one-year-old, he's like, I got you. You son of a bitch, tap. But that was probably the happiest day of my life. So I'll just keep that one. You know, just playing with the kids and watching dub movies. Watching Avatar. Yeah. It's a good movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Could do worse for sure.

SPEAKER_05 1:55

Ooh, um, to build the rest of my life off of. I feel like I got hung up on the second part of that question. Yeah. But I'm just gonna go with maybe favorite memory. Um boy, that's tough.

SPEAKER_03 2:08

Let's be honest, Jody is in charge of the life building that we're doing anyway. Yeah, all I need to do is remember why I'm doing it, you know.

SPEAKER_05 2:17

Um, I don't know. I've got some I've got some pretty pleasant memories of just being a kid living on a Harsine Island and and just like having sort of those idyllic summer days where we didn't do anything and road bikes and ate beef jerky and drank Pepsi's and played in the ocean. Yeah, you know, really, really just like simple, good, clean fun. Those were pretty nice. Maybe maybe a night where we ended up going up to the pool or something. Like those were pretty those were pretty special nights.

SPEAKER_06 2:45

I heard a smattering, not a not a memory. I heard a smattering of the memory. It's really hard to have like Which is just like your memories.

SPEAKER_00 2:52

Think of a really good memory where I have like all the people that I want in my life to like carry on, like remembering them and knowing who they are.

SPEAKER_03 3:02

Just sitting here playing games, am I right?

SPEAKER_00 3:03

Yeah, this one right here today. This memory. Plus or minus a few people. Why do you look at me after 79 minutes? Nothing.

SPEAKER_06 3:15

She knew if she looked at me, it was gonna be a problem later. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

I'm really struggling with this.

SPEAKER_04 3:20

I don't want to keep a memory. I want to like once it all gone, record a video of myself and just completely fuck with myself, like uh total recall style. Get your ass to Mars.

SPEAKER_01 3:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 3:38

I mean, you can do that as a member, you just say it into a mirror. Yeah, I guess. Just to get to Mars.

SPEAKER_04 3:45

To get to Mars.

SPEAKER_00 3:46

What is my purpose?

SPEAKER_04 3:47

Yeah, just totally fuck with myself. Like make something like that.

SPEAKER_03 3:51

Do I go get a job at SpaceX? Like, what do I do now?

SPEAKER_04 3:53

Yeah, memento, something like that. Just not even keep the memories, but yeah, just find a way to just totally fuck with myself, to just totally not even keep my just derail my life and just like veer off.

SPEAKER_06 4:07

Change up entirely. This is when my life really began. Yeah, like this isn't your real life.

SPEAKER_03 4:13

Tony? Wedding day. Easy. That's a good one. Wedding day was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. Really good time. If you're thinking about getting married and you like to party, go for it. I don't even like to party and I had a great time. Yeah, your wedding was awesome. Uh we had a blast. Food and dancing, and everybody was happy to see me. Everybody's usually I don't know what what's the right word. It's a mixed bag for me. It's a mixed bag. It's a mixed bag.

SPEAKER_04 4:39

Yeah, ours was good. Uh two people hooked up at the wedding, like multiple, anyways. Hopefully they left before they under the table. No. It was off in the woods. It was off in the woods. My friend. You have classy friends. One of the groomsmen uh banged a bridesmaid in the woods.

SPEAKER_06 5:01

That's how it's supposed to go now.

SPEAKER_04 5:03

That's what I'm saying. We had a really good wedding.

SPEAKER_06 5:08

Check all the boxes.

SPEAKER_03 5:10

I don't know if anybody hooked up at my wedding. Nobody told me about it anyway.

SPEAKER_04 5:13

Oh, it was obvious.

SPEAKER_03 5:14

People definitely could have hooked up at our wedding.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

Yeah. There were a lot of rooms. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. But the thing that I have a problem with is that like our dogs weren't there.

SPEAKER_06 5:24

So like sorry.

SPEAKER_00 5:25

That makes me really sad.

SPEAKER_06 5:26

So I'm trying to like think of a memory where I have- What a great surprise that would be coming home and finding your dogs.

SPEAKER_00 5:31

Like that's true. I guess they would still be a part of my life.

SPEAKER_06 5:35

Yeah, just because you're not erasing the dogs. You just wouldn't remember and show you photos on your phone.

SPEAKER_00 5:40

Having this like existential crisis over here. I'm just like, I needed a point in time when everybody was in the same room. I'm like, that's never happening.

SPEAKER_03 5:47

Housewarming party.

SPEAKER_00 5:48

Housewarming party was fun.

SPEAKER_03 5:51

And I wasn't here for that. So life was. Life made it.

SPEAKER_05 5:56

Yep. I was here. What a monster. Shout out again to Tony's mom for doing the most amazing spread ever. That was really cool. Yeah. That was awesome.

SPEAKER_06 6:07

Thanks, Mom.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

Sick? Everybody's wedding. Easy. Glad to get married.

SPEAKER_05 6:16

I just I'm terrible with memories. I just can't get a full one together. You can't remember them. Yeah. Like I I I have a notion that I had like a really idyllic day, but I couldn't tell you anything about it.

SPEAKER_03 6:29

You know how people like they lose their memory, but they can still make coffee and read a book and everything. Like there's a difference between like procedural memories and explicit memories or whatever. Sure. I sometimes think that all of my memories are procedural memories because they don't work until it becomes relevant.

SPEAKER_06 6:45

Is this how I hug?

SPEAKER_05 6:48

They lean in and they open their arms and it's like that's what I'm supposed to do. It comes back to you on the spot.

SPEAKER_03 6:55

I mean, I'm an awkward hugger anyway.

SPEAKER_00 6:57

Me too. I'm just awkward in general.

SPEAKER_03 7:01

I occasionally get compliments on my hugs. Nice.

SPEAKER_04 7:04

And then that makes you awkward after you get the compliment. Yeah. Like, what does this person want for me to patronize me against yourself? We're already embracing each other. What else could they want? Should I have hugged that person?

SPEAKER_05 7:17

Is this making me feel good about me?

SPEAKER_06 7:20

I don't like it anymore. I don't trust anything that makes me feel good. Give me more alcohol. You guys are uh making progress for like the first time in six weeks.

SPEAKER_01 7:36

For once.

SPEAKER_06 7:37

You're able to defeat the exorcists and slay the Nindoru and quickly outpace the guards that come to investigate the gigantic crying child. You retreat all the way down to the burned down lumber storage, and this room seems largely ignored, just abandoned. No one could really hang out here for long. Look at all this smoke damage. You gather yourselves here for a quick respite before creating a diversion to sneak your way north along the eastern edge of the circle fort. You find a bathhouse that is being diligently cleaned by Shigua, and you're like, fuck it. Bypass it entirely to find yourself in uh to a shrine to Pharasma. And you guys are cautiously looking around here when a voice proclaims, She ain't happy with you. Everyone roll a D20.

SPEAKER_04 8:29

Keep your voice down.

SPEAKER_06 8:30

Damn it.

SPEAKER_03 8:31

Do you just want the number on the D20?

SPEAKER_06 8:32

Just want the number on the D20.

SPEAKER_03 8:34

Three. Also three.

SPEAKER_00 8:36

Fifteen.

SPEAKER_03 8:37

Two.

SPEAKER_00 8:37

Okay. Courtney gets a hero point. Yay!

SPEAKER_06 8:40

What is the hero point situation? Zero.

SPEAKER_03 8:43

Zero.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

One.

SPEAKER_03 8:44

Two. Alright. It's like that's nevotism. I have the most.

SPEAKER_00 8:53

That was nice.

SPEAKER_04 8:54

Yeah. Keep your voice down.

SPEAKER_00 8:57

Um, okay, so we detected magic. There's magic coming from the shrine. Obviously, this um this bird is talking to us.

SPEAKER_05 9:04

Is it the crow on top of the shrine?

SPEAKER_06 9:06

It looks to be the crow in the scroll work hanging over the shrine. Yeah. And I can show you guys that picture again if you want.

SPEAKER_03 9:17

Yes, we know she's mad. We did dumb.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

I would like to do a religion check on this situation. Twenty-eight.

SPEAKER_06 9:28

Critical success.

SPEAKER_00 9:29

Nice.

SPEAKER_06 9:31

And it's very clear to you that the scroll on the wall depicts Rasmon or thrown in the bone yard.

SPEAKER_00 9:38

Thank you. The water thrown in the boneyard.

SPEAKER_06 9:44

You know what? I won't give it to you. No. The water in the basin is regularly purified by the shine maidens for use by visitors to cleanse themselves before proceeding forward. Oh. You know that the basin is used specifically to purify your hands by ladling water onto them. You can perform absolutions here as a one-minute activity.

SPEAKER_04 10:08

Pops needs one of those. Yeah. I think everybody else needs some of that.

SPEAKER_00 10:11

Ari will explain this to them and she'll start. Um she's like, put your hands in and she'll start like ladling them over everyone's hands.

SPEAKER_06 10:20

Is everyone participating?

SPEAKER_04 10:21

Is the bird still talking to us?

SPEAKER_06 10:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 10:26

But I want to know who and who isn't participating. Yes, participating. Yes. Yeah, we'll participate while we chat to the with the bird.

SPEAKER_04 10:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 10:34

Gardus reluctantly steps up to it.

SPEAKER_00 10:36

Uh and then Ari will release her concentration on the minion, because she wants to focus on this task.

SPEAKER_06 10:44

I'd be real careful with this. Yeah, you don't want to mess it up. She'd be real mad with you. We can roll your religion check over. By performing your absolutions here, it also causes a sense of foreboding to settle over all the other inhabitants of the fortress. You guys gain a terror point.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

We're at four.

SPEAKER_06 11:09

After you guys are like halfway through with this ritual, the crow on the fabric stills and settles and stops talking. Be real careful now. And it just kind of like freezes in its frame. And Ari, as you're like putting all this stuff back very reverently, setting it down, you see out of one of these little cubbies, you see it almost just like materialize. This this scroll just kind of like rolls out to you. Seems to be a spell scroll.

SPEAKER_00 11:47

Uh she'll look up at the like tapestry and she's like, Can I have this? Is this for me?

SPEAKER_06 11:55

Everyone give me a religion check.

SPEAKER_03 12:01

It's not bad. 16? 28.

SPEAKER_00 12:04

20.

SPEAKER_03 12:05

Dirty 20.

SPEAKER_06 12:07

20?

SPEAKER_00 12:07

Dirty 20.

SPEAKER_06 12:08

Dirty 20. It moves through Pops. You see the strange blue stars that seem to orbit him kind of like accelerate and pulse with energy. Pops, you get the sense that this scroll is for her.

SPEAKER_05 12:25

Yes. Alright. This is for you.

SPEAKER_06 12:29

And you guys lose your Pharasma curse. Yeah. No more Doom.

SPEAKER_00 12:35

No more doom. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 12:37

What about those of us who didn't have a Pharasma curse because we've been pious this whole time? You gain the Pharasma curse.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Doomed three.

SPEAKER_04 12:45

I don't know that pious is the word I would use. Passing checks, it's the same thing in my book.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Piousing checks. Ari, we'll take this scroll. And she's like, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. We have learned our lesson. We won't do that again. She'll look at the scroll.

SPEAKER_06 13:04

It is a scroll of invoke spirits. Invoke spirits, two action, level five spell. Sustained up to one minute and burst will save. Ragged apparitions of the dead rise to stalk the living. They deal 2d4 mental damage and 2d4 void damage to each living creature in the area with a basic will save. Additionally, creatures that critically fail are frightened too and are fleeing for one round. On subsequent rounds, the first time you sustain the spell each round, you can move the area up to 30 feet within range of the spell. Living creatures in the new area must attempt saves with the same effect as above, except that critically failing doesn't make them flee. Cool.

SPEAKER_00 13:42

Sweet. I think she wants us to clear out this place. Um, and then she'll also look up and she'll say, Have you seen our eternal lantern? We're looking for a shrine.

SPEAKER_04 13:58

Who are you talking to?

SPEAKER_03 14:00

The bird. She's talking to bird.

SPEAKER_00 14:03

She can hear me.

SPEAKER_03 14:04

Bird friend. I name him Cletus. It's just a drawing.

SPEAKER_06 14:10

Yeah, and after a while, you guys think Ari is just like literally talking to a wall.

SPEAKER_05 14:15

Come on, Ari. I think it's time to go into the next chamber.

SPEAKER_00 14:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 14:20

You guys have no idea how close I was to like fucking it up?

SPEAKER_00 14:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:26

Getting us all cursed. That's the word.

SPEAKER_03 14:29

Like you're gonna phase bolt the crow.

SPEAKER_04 14:31

No, I was gonna like just pick up the bucket and or like start just dipping my hands in to wash my hands and like fully submerge and like pick up the bucket and take a drink and stuff and put baths. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 14:43

Don't drink your bathing water.

SPEAKER_04 14:46

You don't own me.

SPEAKER_03 14:47

How do you think you get such a good fortitude?

unknown 14:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 14:54

Next room.

SPEAKER_00 14:55

Well, Pops is gonna peek the way.

SPEAKER_05 14:58

So Pops will peek the door.

SPEAKER_00 15:01

Do you want to listen first or do you Pops will listen at the door?

SPEAKER_06 15:06

Uh perception check.

SPEAKER_05 15:07

Perception. 18 on dice for a 30 four.

SPEAKER_06 15:14

You don't hear anything.

SPEAKER_05 15:16

Pops will peek the door.

SPEAKER_06 15:19

This stone room is lit by thirty white wax candles that burn along narrow shelves to either side. A raised circular dais sits in the center of the floor with a carved decorative ring surrounding it. Hundreds of long paper talismans and shide hang like curtains around this ring. What's shide?

SPEAKER_03 15:38

I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 15:39

Should we give it a goo?

SPEAKER_04 15:40

How do you spell it? I think it's from Dune.

SPEAKER_03 15:45

S H I D Shide for Shinto. Zigzag-shaped paper streamers often seen attached to shim shimala or tamaguchi to decorate holy spaces. Pikachu tails. They are Pikachu tails.

SPEAKER_04 16:00

Oh, so it's another shrine type area.

SPEAKER_03 16:04

Yeah. I feel like we're, you know, at least in the right neighborhood.

SPEAKER_05 16:08

And Pops will step in. Respectfully.

SPEAKER_06 16:12

Careful for those papers. You also see a door farther to the south in here.

SPEAKER_05 16:19

Pops will stand next to that.

SPEAKER_03 16:22

Are we all going through the door to the south? Should we investigate the the perception first.

SPEAKER_00 16:27

And then we'll close this door behind us.

SPEAKER_04 16:29

What was this thing in the middle again? Yeah, I wanna. It's your turn for check.

SPEAKER_00 16:37

I'll do perception. 29.

SPEAKER_04 16:42

And 23 religion. For like checking out the dais and other stuff.

SPEAKER_06 16:49

This clearly seems to be some sort of uh spiritual or religious center, uh, but you can't really make out anything more specific than that. Ari, you do find a greater spirit ceiling fulu amongst all the shide and talismans. Shidei?

SPEAKER_03 17:06

Ooh. That sounds like a smart idea. You're looking at pronunciation?

SPEAKER_00 17:13

And then I'll detect magic on the shrine or the dais itself.

SPEAKER_06 17:17

Yeah, and the only magic is coming from the greater spirit ceiling pulo.

SPEAKER_05 17:20

Pronounce Shidei.

SPEAKER_06 17:22

Ah, look at me go.

SPEAKER_05 17:24

Or Jitoku in Japanese.

SPEAKER_03 17:28

Uh did Jeff learn anything about the no, just that it is that it is spiritual.

SPEAKER_05 17:34

Um, I'll try a religion on it. See if we can't beat that score. I think this is kind of I think we should yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:42

Spiritual in nature. Uh 25. It's two more than I got.

SPEAKER_03 17:49

It's a shrine. It's a dais.

SPEAKER_05 17:52

Definitely a dais.

SPEAKER_03 17:55

Okay. You gonna peek that next room or listen? Yeah. Give a listen to the next room.

SPEAKER_05 17:58

Uh listen it. Here comes the perception. 14 on dice for a dirty 30.

SPEAKER_06 18:05

Uh you hear like rhythmic uh speaking, like chanting, very light on the other side. Hmm. Might be fight.

SPEAKER_03 18:15

New fight.

SPEAKER_05 18:16

Somebody is praying in the next room.

SPEAKER_03 18:18

Can we jam door? Kick down the door, I mean. Can we jam the door behind us?

SPEAKER_05 18:23

Like when we go in here?

SPEAKER_00 18:25

Barricade the door behind us.

SPEAKER_05 18:26

Yeah. This feels like where we need to be going.

SPEAKER_03 18:29

Yeah, can we barricade that door so people can't follow? Um. Is the big stone dice movable? I was about to ask that.

SPEAKER_06 18:39

No, you'd have to pry up the floor.

SPEAKER_04 18:41

Yeah. Not really then. I don't think I have anything that would help with like Aspray's Island now. Now we can't get out. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:52

There is very thin rope that the uh Shide and Talismans are like hanging from. You don't know how much you would trust this uh barricade, but it would slow someone down for a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

Is there any way I've got a sword? Is there any way I could jam a sword into the door frame or something? Uh wedge it shut.

SPEAKER_05 19:07

Pops cast twin star and does only the worthy in front of the door.

SPEAKER_03 19:11

Oh what is that?

SPEAKER_05 19:13

So I split my uh club into two, and then I drop the only the worthy, and then it's it can only be moved with like 8,000 pounds of pressure. Oh my god. Yeah. So I can wedge the door closed. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:26

Violet's over there trying to like stab the door seams with a sword, and Pop just comes over. It's like, I got this.

SPEAKER_00 19:31

So what does that do to your remaining weapon?

SPEAKER_05 19:34

I still have my remaining weapon. Oh, it now it has the fun pharasmic uh spiral on it, or the Grotus, um, the Grotus Moon. Whichever I leave at the door, it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00 19:45

But it's still functional, the same and everything. Okay, cool. I guess that works.

SPEAKER_05 19:51

Let me just double check on how far away I can get and how long it can last. So it stays there until it is broken and the door's not gonna not gonna fight me or until I put my hand out and draw it back.

SPEAKER_03 20:12

That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_05 20:13

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 20:19

Alright, eight thousand pound door stopper.

SPEAKER_05 20:21

Yeah, holy shit.

SPEAKER_03 20:22

That'll do it.

SPEAKER_05 20:25

Okay. Are we ready? Are we ready? I'm ready. Pops will quietly open the door. Do you want a stealth for that?

SPEAKER_03 20:42

Stephen thought.

SPEAKER_05 20:53

Uh sure. Three on dice. Stealth twenty-two.

SPEAKER_03 21:01

When you set the club down, it made a thump.

SPEAKER_04 21:04

Like a huge thonk.

SPEAKER_06 21:06

You open the door and you instantly recognize this room. It is dimly lit by burning torches, and a massive bronze temple bell hangs from the center of the chamber. Five small empty bird cages are placed around the sides of the room, and the bell's mouth flickers with a pale, eerie radiance. Initiative.

SPEAKER_05 21:28

Do you want to keep my twenty-two or do you want me to roll again?

SPEAKER_06 21:30

I'm keeping your twenty-two.

SPEAKER_05 21:31

Okay. Thirty-four? I'm not rolling thirty-three this time.

SPEAKER_04 21:38

Like exactly where your mouth mouse is sitting on him. It looks like a little monocle on his eye. No, put it back. He looked like a bond villain.

SPEAKER_03 21:54

My mouth hasn't been on him yet, just to clarify. It will be.

SPEAKER_06 23:21

You open this door and it makes a loud noise. The lead exorcist, the man that ran the seance, stops, turns, and looks at you. The woman at the back of this temple room knocks an arrow and he holds up his hand to stay her attack. You must leave, please. Please. Do not come in here.

SPEAKER_05 23:54

We cannot leave without the bell.

SPEAKER_06 23:57

No, no, the lantern.

SPEAKER_05 23:59

We cannot leave without the lantern.

SPEAKER_06 24:02

It's so funny to me you guys disconnect between the bell and the lantern.

SPEAKER_05 24:06

We must we must save Willowshore.

SPEAKER_04 24:12

Do not come in here, please. Fox, it's your turn. Did you know that Fen Fang was a Nindoro? Fox, what do you do?

SPEAKER_03 24:21

Um We take lantern. We take lantern now. And I think um Yeah, go in there. Yeah. I think I'm gonna go in there. Uh so. Ray Shield taunt. Yeah, you draw your ire at me, and then I'm gonna move in.

SPEAKER_06 24:43

As soon as you move in, he sighs. It did not have to be this way. Give me a will save. It did have to be this way.

SPEAKER_03 24:52

We all know it. 33. Nice.

SPEAKER_06 24:57

That is a standard pass as this light erupts out. I moved you back because it would have triggered as soon as you walked into the room.

SPEAKER_03 25:08

Sorry, sorry. Sorry. I thought I made a mistake. This is why I have to pause everyone.

SPEAKER_04 25:14

You did.

SPEAKER_06 25:17

So half damage is 12. 12 points of spirit damage. And then what is the area on this? As you step into the room, the bell lets out a small boom. And the two combatants in here don't react, but you all hear it. Everyone has to give me a will save.

SPEAKER_05 25:57

29. Fail. 19.

SPEAKER_06 26:01

Critical fail.

SPEAKER_04 26:04

Well, I'm gonna turn in a hero point because mine would have been 19 too.

SPEAKER_00 26:08

You said will save.

SPEAKER_04 26:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:10

30.

SPEAKER_04 26:13

It's not a lot better. 24.

SPEAKER_06 26:19

Fail. Uh Ari, you're the only one past. You're unaffected. Uh everyone else failed. Nope. Oh, one critical failure. Uh, so those of you that failed take 21 points of mental damage. Okay. And are frightened one. Uh, that's not you, Ife. You critically failed, so you can ignore that. Got it. So frightened to Gardas, frightened to Vox. And then on a critical fail. Uh, you take 54 points of mental damage. Okay. You're frightened two. And are fleeing as long as you remain frightened.

SPEAKER_05 27:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 27:10

It did not have to be this way. Uh, Violet, you can continue with your turn.

SPEAKER_03 27:16

Okay. Um, so I gotta spend another action to move up to him?

SPEAKER_06 27:20

Um, no. No, no.

SPEAKER_03 27:24

Okay. Um, I think it's bite time.

SPEAKER_06 27:30

So last action bite?

SPEAKER_03 27:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 27:33

Great shield move.

SPEAKER_03 27:34

Oh, you know what? Last action shove.

unknown 27:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 27:38

Push him across the room a little bit, yeah. Oh man, natural one. Feeling a little woozy after that shove.

SPEAKER_06 27:52

You're having second thoughts about this. Maybe you should have listened to him. You are sick and three. Gross.

SPEAKER_03 27:58

Okay, my frighten goes away though, right? Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 28:06

I don't like that measurement there. I was measuring from the darkness, which I can't see in two. Oh.

SPEAKER_04 28:14

There's there's an archer back there.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

50 feet.

SPEAKER_04 28:18

There's an archer back there.

SPEAKER_06 28:23

She's gonna step forward and launch an arrow at Violet. Thirty-one.

SPEAKER_03 28:32

Um, that's a hit.

SPEAKER_06 28:39

Nine points of piercing damage.

SPEAKER_03 28:41

Um, I'm gonna shield block it.

SPEAKER_00 28:51

We should have repaired your shield.

SPEAKER_03 28:53

Yeah, that's the last one I got. Uh 32 to hit. Uh, that's a hit.

SPEAKER_06 29:02

Uh 16 points of piercing damage. 16 points of piercing damage. And now we'll go to Ari.

SPEAKER_00 29:13

Okay. Ari will step up five feet and um put her hand on um, she'll reach out for Pops' hand and she's like, it's okay. It's okay. And she'll cast Clear Mind at fourth level to counteract the fleeing. Cool. Nice. Um.

SPEAKER_06 29:35

Okay. Don't you have to roll?

SPEAKER_00 29:38

I do. I just was hoping you would walk me through the counteract situation.

SPEAKER_06 29:43

So yeah, I mean, I can uh just so everyone knows how counteract works. Um, you try to disrupt an effect. Uh attempt a counteract checked, add the relevant skill modifier or other appropriate. So this is essentially like a spell attack. Critical success, you counteract the target. If the counteract rank is no more than three higher, then your effects counteract rank. Success, the counteract uh rank is no more than one higher. Failure, counteract if the counteract rank is lower, and then critical failure, you fail to just straight up counteract.

SPEAKER_00 30:24

So I got twenty-five.

SPEAKER_06 30:26

What is your rank, by the way?

SPEAKER_00 30:28

It was rank four. Or it was a fourth rank spell. Is that what you're asking?

SPEAKER_06 30:33

Mm-hmm. And what did you get?

SPEAKER_00 30:41

25. It was a nine on the dice.

SPEAKER_06 30:49

Uh, you failed the DC, and it is higher rank than that, so you failed.

SPEAKER_00 30:55

So if you failed to counteract the effect, but you would have if its counteract rank were too lower.

SPEAKER_06 31:01

I mean, you still failed the D well, so is it too lower?

SPEAKER_00 31:05

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 31:05

Uh so uh what is it? If a fail would still be if uh the target is lower. So no, because two lower would make it four. So the counteract level is six, the DC is twenty nine. So two level would bring it down to four, you still failed, so it would have to be a counteract rank of three or lower.

unknown 31:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 31:25

I had to try.

SPEAKER_05 31:26

Yeah, appreciate it.

SPEAKER_00 31:28

Yep. That's our turn.

SPEAKER_06 31:32

Gardus.

SPEAKER_04 31:35

Um cast protection on myself. Level one spell, use my reaction to Zealous Rush and move in. Move in for the kill. And I have one action left, which is going to be to strike. Twenty eight to hit twenty-six to hit.

SPEAKER_06 32:13

Twenty-six is a hit.

SPEAKER_04 32:14

Nice.

SPEAKER_06 32:16

Couchin.

SPEAKER_04 32:17

Mm-hmm. You should have listened when you had the chance. Ooh. Twenty-eight points of damage.

SPEAKER_06 32:30

Kip.

SPEAKER_04 32:36

Uh, does my frightened go away at the end of my turn? Goes down by one. Hooray.

SPEAKER_06 32:43

And Pops. Okay. This is bad.

SPEAKER_00 32:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:46

Pops needs to run away. So Pops is going to run over to the door. We kind of like pass each other. Oh. Yeah. Pops runs over the door. Yeah. He uses an interact action to pick up his only the worthy. And then he opens the door.

SPEAKER_06 33:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 33:07

And that drops. Does that drop my frightened condition by one?

unknown 33:10

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 33:11

Okay, that's his turn.

SPEAKER_06 33:12

And then we will go to round two. He takes a torch, and as he kind of grabs it, the flames just And uh You don't understand. You can't be in here. And he will swing on Violet.

SPEAKER_04 33:45

You don't understand. You can't be in here.

SPEAKER_06 33:54

35?

SPEAKER_03 33:55

That's a hit.

SPEAKER_06 33:59

Uh you're gonna owe me a well, let's do this first. Damage first. Uh 18 points. Uh nope, that's not right. Uh 14 points of fire damage. And nine points of bludgeoning. Seven points of bludgeoning. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 34:30

Will save. Man, I'm doing good on these will saves. 32.

That's a pass. Unaffected.

SPEAKER_03 34:38

Nice. Immune.

SPEAKER_06 34:41

Forever.

SPEAKER_04 34:42

Seems like it should be.

SPEAKER_06 34:44

To all will saves.

SPEAKER_04 34:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 34:46

Uh that's his turn, so we'll go to Violet.

SPEAKER_03 34:49

Hey. Ray Shield. Um, this time I'm gonna taunt the archer.

SPEAKER_05 34:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 34:55

Um. I'm gonna attempt to bite the man. Here we go. 27 to bite.

SPEAKER_00 35:07

Your mouth is on him.

SPEAKER_05 35:08

Nice. With your sicken?

SPEAKER_03 35:10

Oh, pickles. 24 to bite, sorry. That's a miss. Oh, um. Can I retch for my sicken? Or will it make a difference? Or try and find out.

SPEAKER_06 35:18

Yeah, you can try now. Yeah, I mean it's just from a critical failure.

SPEAKER_03 35:21

Yeah, I'll try a retch to see if I can get my sickend to go down.

SPEAKER_00 35:24

Just barf on him.

SPEAKER_03 35:25

Yeah. There we go, roll.

SPEAKER_06 35:31

Yeah, right? That's how it works.

SPEAKER_03 35:32

I just don't remember what you add to it. Fortitude. Yeah. Um 35.

SPEAKER_06 35:37

Uh success. So it goes down by one, I believe, right?

SPEAKER_03 35:40

Yeah. Does it go down one per round or just when you do something about it? When you successfully do something about it. Okay. I throw up on him.

SPEAKER_06 35:48

Kip.

SPEAKER_03 35:49

That'll show him.

SPEAKER_06 35:52

Uh now it's my turn. She whispers to her arrow and lets it fly. I need what is it? Reflex saves from Gardas and Violet.

SPEAKER_04 36:07

That's not how arrows work. 25.

SPEAKER_00 36:11

Whoa, whoa. Maybe you shouldn't leave all your dice in there.

SPEAKER_04 36:13

Maybe I should. 25? Got it. Uh 31.

SPEAKER_06 36:20

Ouch. Okay. Uh Gardus passed. Violet failed. As she lets the arrow fly, it begins multiplying in the air. You've seen this effect before. It comes to 33 points of force damage half to 16.

SPEAKER_05 36:37

It's a super cool ability.

SPEAKER_04 36:39

Force?

SPEAKER_06 36:40

Force damage.

SPEAKER_03 36:41

That's not how arrows work.

SPEAKER_06 36:43

It does when they multiply in the air.

SPEAKER_03 36:46

I'm already down 43 hit points. Jesus. Ari.

SPEAKER_00 36:50

Okay. Would we consider the door to be one bulk or less?

SPEAKER_06 36:56

No. A door?

SPEAKER_00 36:57

Just to like open and close it.

SPEAKER_06 36:59

What are you trying to do?

SPEAKER_00 37:01

I want to use telekinetic hand to close the door.

SPEAKER_06 37:03

You can use telekinetic hand. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 37:05

At least slowing down a little bit. Just what I was thinking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:08

So much attitude.

SPEAKER_06 37:09

The door is obviously more than a bulk.

SPEAKER_00 37:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 37:12

But pushing it on its hinges is not the same thing as carrying weight.

SPEAKER_00 37:16

I still have to ask.

SPEAKER_06 37:18

I didn't like the way you asked.

SPEAKER_00 37:20

Okay. Oh, fuck you. Yeah. Assume you're right. I can't win, like, no matter what I do. Uh so Ari will um just like tap on the drum a few times, and a little gnomish spectral hand reaches out and grabs the door handle, pulls it back, and then um sticks a finger up at Pops and just shakes it. Like, no. Classic. No. Don't do that. That's two actions. And then um man, what are we gonna do, guys?

SPEAKER_04 37:54

Can you ready an action that as soon as Pops opens the door, the hand closes it again?

SPEAKER_00 37:59

No, you can't ready. Uh it's two actions to ready an action. So I only have one left.

SPEAKER_05 38:04

That kept me from running out into the hall. So that was really, really good.

SPEAKER_00 38:07

Yeah, he might get to the other door and open it. Yeah. Um, but yeah, that's it. Hopefully, no one's on the other side. Ari will start playing rallying anthem, so everybody will be affected by AC saves and resist two physical damage. And then she's like, maybe we need to get out of the room.

SPEAKER_04 38:24

Where did Pops go?

SPEAKER_00 38:26

He was right behind your business. I'm the only one that's trying to help him. He's really scared. Maybe he's the smartest one who's like, don't come in here. He's like, okay. But I honestly think we might want to try to draw them out. I don't know if they would follow.

SPEAKER_05 38:45

I mean, just don't get knocked.

SPEAKER_04 38:48

Guard us. Whatever you do. Um. Okay, wait. When when you say we can't be in here, what do you mean by that?

SPEAKER_00 38:59

He's not gonna answer on your turn.

SPEAKER_06 39:01

What? Oh, you're trying to have a conversation with him in the middle of combat?

SPEAKER_07 39:04

Yeah. Got it. It's blasphemy. This isn't. I recognize you.

SPEAKER_04 39:12

I rec- you didn't answer my question. I asked specifically, uh, what do you mean by we can't be in here? Attack.

SPEAKER_00 39:23

Uh, there are a bunch of things that you want to do, but you usually ruin it by just attacking. You already roll him a bit faster. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 39:31

Why don't you tell me that before I roll?

SPEAKER_00 39:33

Uh why don't you just take a breath?

SPEAKER_04 39:37

35 to hit. That's a crit. Yay! We found it. Cut him in half. Done. He's 25. I cut him in half. That's my damage. Okay, you cut him in half. He looks so grumpy. Now there's two of them.

SPEAKER_03 39:52

One kicks and one punches. Both of the testicles.

SPEAKER_04 39:57

Forty-two points of damage. Nice. Okay. Nice. Big hit. Mm-hmm. Uh, so forty-two points of damage. Then I will um I did that. I guess I have two okay, I'm gonna do a ghost power thingy. Uh it is animated assault. How big is a burst ten?

SPEAKER_03 40:44

Is it just a ten-foot square or is it like it's from a corner ten feet in a table? Like a ten-foot radius.

SPEAKER_04 40:50

So then I'm gonna do it. Yeah, I'm gonna do it back a little bit so that it hits uh the two bad guys. The two bad guys and not us. Uh basically, this is this is kind of the thing where everything sort in the room sort of comes to life. Yeah, that's what I meant.

SPEAKER_03 41:08

And attacks the bad guys.

SPEAKER_04 41:10

Yeah, so so everything in the room just starts like swirling around and just like slamming into them and stuff like that. So it's a basic reflex save. For both of your guys. Bird cages. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 41:23

First one gets natural twenty. Second one gets uh 21.

SPEAKER_04 41:35

That one's a fail.

SPEAKER_00 41:37

Was that the maiden?

SPEAKER_04 41:38

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 41:38

The shrine maiden.

SPEAKER_06 41:39

Shrine maiden fails.

SPEAKER_00 41:41

The Acha.

SPEAKER_04 41:48

26 points of damage, bludgeoning damage. Yep. So like Gardus sort of just reaches out and just everything sort of comes to life and starts flying around, and there's you hear this, it's like a wind and noise and everything. So it's a little bit loud. There's stuff banging around.

SPEAKER_00 42:10

He's hitting the bell.

SPEAKER_04 42:11

Dung dung.

SPEAKER_05 42:14

Okay. Pops is a feared still, so he's gonna open the door when action.

SPEAKER_04 42:21

Pops, get in here.

SPEAKER_05 42:24

And then, oops.

SPEAKER_00 42:26

And closes the door and then opens the door. He's done.

SPEAKER_05 42:29

And then he runs over to the other door, and he opens the other door, and that's his turn. And I am no longer afeard.

SPEAKER_06 42:38

And I need Gardas and Violet to give me a will save. Plus one. As this bell continues to make an eerie, unnatural noise. Uh, 29. Fail.

SPEAKER_04 42:54

You said will. 26.

SPEAKER_06 42:58

Two fails. You're both frightened, one. And take twenty-three points of mental damage.

SPEAKER_00 43:10

The bell does look cool. It has like a blue glowing aura around it. He's intensifying the aura.

SPEAKER_05 43:27

The aura intensifies. The bell tolling intensifies.

SPEAKER_06 43:32

And we're on to round three. I will banish you for the good of all of Shinman. And Divine Wrath. He casts a spell.

SPEAKER_04 43:49

I need Is it a manipulate action?

SPEAKER_06 43:52

It is. Hey.

SPEAKER_03 43:57

Here we go.

SPEAKER_06 43:57

Yeah, me. An excuse, but though he would have had one last turn too when he was torch. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_03 44:04

Uh 36. Uh crit. Minimum damage, five points.

SPEAKER_06 44:12

How did you get doubled?

SPEAKER_03 44:13

How did you get an odd number? 10 points. Sorry. This guy. This guy.

SPEAKER_06 44:22

Uh okay. Fortitude saves. Gardas and Violet.

SPEAKER_00 44:32

Plus one.

SPEAKER_03 44:33

On a crit, isn't his things interrupted?

SPEAKER_05 44:38

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 44:40

That is how that works. Yeah. That's actually really good for us. Actions disrupted.

SPEAKER_06 44:50

Good job, Ky. Thanks, guys. He will swing on Gardas. 34?

SPEAKER_03 45:08

Hit. I'm gonna intercept that. Just pump some heals into me because I'm gonna get low running.

SPEAKER_04 45:17

You didn't expect my dinosaur.

SPEAKER_06 45:21

Eight points of fire damage. Seven points of bludgeoning. Give me a will save.

SPEAKER_03 45:32

I'm rolling a lot of will saves. Oh, this one's not as good. 20. I was doing really good on my will saves for a minute.

SPEAKER_06 45:51

These flames begin to affect you. They hit you, and you see that you kind of catch fire and they change colors to like this black purpley stuff, and they just crawl across your skin. You are stupefied one. You are clumsy one. Oh, you put them on for me? Thank you. And we will go to VOX. Violet.

SPEAKER_03 46:18

Um can I uh you're clumsy stupefied until the end of your next turn. Okay. Um I got a lot of conditions, guys.

SPEAKER_00 46:26

Yeah, not as many as Pops had lost.

SPEAKER_03 46:28

Is this bell like propped up on something?

SPEAKER_06 46:32

No, it's like hanging from the ceiling.

SPEAKER_03 46:34

Can I like buy a rope? Sure. Can I attack the rope? Maybe. I wanna run and jump and bite the rope.

SPEAKER_06 46:46

Okay. Um I just want you to see that it's a pretty thick rope. Does it have stats? Yeah, we have stats, but I'm using the stats for like the whole bell sort of thing.

SPEAKER_00 47:06

So I don't know if this will be beneficial.

SPEAKER_04 47:10

Oh, so we can just destroy the bell. You can destroy the bell, absolutely, 100%. In that case, well, question mark did the bell pass the reflex save? For what? My spell that it was in the middle of. The burst. Oh. If we're if we can destroy the bell.

SPEAKER_00 47:28

Why are we destroying the bell? This is our lantern.

SPEAKER_04 47:30

No, it isn't. The bell is like keeping our lantern from doing its thing.

SPEAKER_06 47:37

Right? This is why I was laughing so hard because we've gone over thoroughly on what the bell is, and there's still this huge disconnect for like what is actually the bell, what is our lantern, and you guys keep like using it interchangeably and then not, and it's really funny because we've talked about it, but I still feel like you guys don't know.

SPEAKER_00 47:53

I don't what it is the lantern, right?

SPEAKER_06 47:55

Um I got a 31 on the reflex save.

SPEAKER_04 47:59

How does a bell get a 31 on the reflex save?

SPEAKER_06 48:02

Hey, for what it's worth, it doesn't have a will save.

SPEAKER_04 48:05

Uh whatever half damage was.

SPEAKER_06 48:09

Does it get over 20 hardness?

SPEAKER_04 48:12

No.

SPEAKER_06 48:12

Yeah, I didn't think so.

unknown 48:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 48:15

Doviding the rope probably won't help.

SPEAKER_03 48:17

Probably not. Uh-uh. Especially because I can't do more than 100.

SPEAKER_06 48:21

Oh no, come on, try. Attack the rope.

SPEAKER_03 48:23

I mean, I said I was gonna do it, so I'm gonna do it. Oh my god. No, I'm just kidding. Okay. So I will uh raise shield, and then I will retch. And I'm gonna taunt the the archer again when I raise my shield. Try to throw up on him again. And then for my last one. Fortitude save because you're gonna wretch. Okay, fortitude save. Um seven and sixteen and one is twenty-four.

SPEAKER_07 48:53

That's a fail.

SPEAKER_03 48:54

No. No, no better on that. Okay, and then bite the guy. Uh 15 on the dice for a 32. No, sorry, minus two 30.

SPEAKER_06 49:04

That's a hit.

SPEAKER_03 49:05

Nice. Maybe minus three. Does it stack with fear? Or are they all circumstance bonuses? Or status penalty.

SPEAKER_06 49:12

You hit either way.

SPEAKER_03 49:13

Status penalty. Okay. Um. Um 11 points of damage.

SPEAKER_01 49:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 49:25

I'm gonna need some healing at some point. Yeah. How many hit points do you have? That's it. I'm at 60. Okay. I could probably go another round, but yeah.

SPEAKER_06 49:41

Uh she five foot steps forward. And then two action heals. Couch. Wow, that is good. That is good healing. You're right, Gardas. Yeah. That is her turn. She steps forward two action heals. Brings him back up to just injured. What level spell was that? We will go to Ari.

SPEAKER_00 50:13

Okay, Ari is kind of looking worriedly behind her and she's like, Pops, are you okay? She's just torn because she wants to go like chase after him, but she's like, they need me in there. They're dying. And she'll step forward just to the doorway there. Doesn't want to step foot in the room. Uh, she's been thoroughly warned not to go in there, and she uh finally can see Violet now. So she will cast a fourth level soothe on Violet O'Wegon. I have one, one, two, and then ten.

SPEAKER_03 50:48

Yeah. Fourteen?

SPEAKER_00 50:50

Plus sixteen, so uh thirty. It was a fourth level spell, by the way.

SPEAKER_03 50:55

Damn, for four, yeah, four d10. Yeah, Gardas, you can probably wait around. If you got other stuff you want to do. No. Because I'm only down 36 right now, and sometimes you heal for 50 or more.

SPEAKER_04 51:04

I wasn't gonna two-action heal you.

SPEAKER_03 51:05

Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_00 51:06

Okay, and that is my turn.

SPEAKER_07 51:08

Gardas.

SPEAKER_04 51:09

I am going to cast my thing that allows me to uh heal myself and then hit. But I'm also gonna say uh that was a nice heal, was it? What what spell level was that? It was a good technique. Technique kind of like kind of half smile at her as I touch myself and heal myself. Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 51:37

For what I got going on over here.

SPEAKER_04 51:40

For 24. And like my I puff out my chest a little bit and all my tattoos like glow as I heal myself and just wounds sort of stitch up for 24 health, and then I attack him. Oh damn it.

SPEAKER_03 51:59

Hero point.

SPEAKER_04 52:00

I'm thinking about it. It's a three. It would be just a 20. That's definitely not gonna hit.

SPEAKER_05 52:07

We're definitely pulling uh we're definitely pulling crit fail cards. Well, just a 20 is not a good card. It's not gonna be a critical fail, but I want to hit it.

SPEAKER_04 52:15

I want to heal.

SPEAKER_01 52:16

Yeah, screw it. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 52:18

This is America. Dime a dozen. These things flow like water. Everybody's got some. Oh, there we fucking go. 19 on the dice. Nice, nice, nice. Bring it back.

SPEAKER_00 52:28

Uh don't talk to me.

SPEAKER_04 52:30

38.

SPEAKER_06 52:32

That's a crit.

SPEAKER_04 52:35

Uh so you also gain 24 hit points back. Amazing. Violet wagon.

SPEAKER_00 52:40

Violet wagon.

SPEAKER_04 52:41

Vox.

SPEAKER_00 52:42

You're on multiple now?

SPEAKER_04 52:43

I'm at 114, so I'm down 22.

SPEAKER_00 52:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 52:47

Uh wow, that is exactly average. Two d12s, six six, and three on the d6. Um so uh 19 times two is 38 points of damage.

SPEAKER_00 53:01

Woohoo!

SPEAKER_04 53:02

Big hit. Big hit. And then I have one action left. Uh I had something to do with this, but I totally forgot what it was gonna be. Um what are you doing 115 years ago? Oh, oh, oh. Uh sustain. Sustain. They need reflex.

SPEAKER_06 53:26

So is this when you sustain, or is it supposed to be on the start of their turns?

SPEAKER_04 53:30

It sustains. It it says when you sustain, it does a reflex. Okay. So a reflex saves for both of them.

SPEAKER_03 53:37

Bell two.

SPEAKER_04 53:39

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 53:42

Uh Bell gets a 24. Swings out of the way. Uh main guy here gets a 29. And then Shrine Maiden gets a 27.

SPEAKER_04 54:04

Um, I mean, if it so if it's against my spell modifier, which it is, the DC is 24. And I think it's 23 because I'm that frightened or whatnot. Um, so they all take half damage, which that was not a good roll. Well, actually, it's exactly average, 10 divided, so 5 damage each.

SPEAKER_06 54:23

Bell doesn't take any.

SPEAKER_04 54:29

And that is the end of my turn. It was 48 points of healing and 42 damage. It's pretty good. Plus five, yeah. It's pretty good. Yeah. Great turn. Gotta love them more priests. Pops. Plus, I'm pretty sure that this shrine maiden is enamored with me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 54:49

Uh okay. Pops comes to his senses. Pops closes the door. You can drop your hammer as a free action. He uh actually, for only the worthy, I need uh an interact action.

SPEAKER_00 55:56

Violet, you have a plus two to mental effects. Would that have helped you?

SPEAKER_03 56:03

Uh yeah. Why do I have a plus two to mental effects?

SPEAKER_00 56:05

From Soothe.

SPEAKER_03 56:06

Oh, okay. For a minute. So would a 31 have been a pass?

SPEAKER_06 56:09

That's a pass.

SPEAKER_00 56:10

Hey, no fear.

SPEAKER_03 56:12

And no damage.

SPEAKER_06 56:13

15 points of damage back. It never comes up.

Violet. If you're injured, you can touch me. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 56:36

He's getting so horny. Why do you gotta say it like that?

SPEAKER_03 56:39

Is there anywhere that I'm supposed to touch you or not touch you? Any, you can touch me anywhere. Lifting his shirt.

SPEAKER_00 56:46

Don't pat him on the shoulders or head.

SPEAKER_03 56:48

Yeah, because we're aunties.

SPEAKER_00 56:50

And just ever.

SPEAKER_06 56:51

He takes a five-foot step back and heals himself. What a dick.

SPEAKER_07 56:57

You must leave here. You don't understand. You're ruining everything. And if I have to banish you, I will. Violet. You're in league with Kugopti.

SPEAKER_03 57:09

That's my turn.

SPEAKER_06 57:28

Hmm.

SPEAKER_07 57:39

I rolled a lot better.

SPEAKER_04 57:42

Well, yeah, that's obvious.

SPEAKER_06 57:43

She's going to twang. Twang. Gross. She pulls the string on her bow back, no arrow knocked. And just lets it go. Gardas, give me a fortitude save.

SPEAKER_04 58:18

Wait. Force movement 26? Because I get plus two to force move. And then I still get pushed half of that.

SPEAKER_06 58:30

And fall prone.

Just had to go to the bathroom real quick. My turn now? Now it's your turn. For reals. Alright. Ari will start doing her dirge of a doom. And then she will start casting him of healing on Violet. So Violet will get eight temporary hit points now and eight fast healing on her turn. Keep it up, guys. We got this.

SPEAKER_04 59:27

Yeah, I'm I'm still prone.

SPEAKER_06 59:29

I'll just let you know now, because like I don't know if you guys would like to know it or not, but it is the mechanics of the game. Um I kind of assumed you saw it on them. They're already frightened. Yeah. Are you sure you want to do Dirge of Doom?

SPEAKER_00 59:40

No.

SPEAKER_06 59:41

Um everyone in the fort became frightened one when you guys hit Terror 4. Okay, cool. That's fun. Yeah, that is cool.

SPEAKER_00 59:47

They're terrified. So then she will do um. Well, she'll do rallying anthem. So plus one to RAC saves and then resist to physical.

SPEAKER_06 59:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:01

That's her turn.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:13

Yeah. Uh I will have more kneecaps. Stand up. Uh Violet, are you still down hit points and shit?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:22

Um, I think I'm gonna be okay for right now. Yeah, but I'm I'm at 114, so 136 is my top, so I'm only down 22.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:27

He'll get eight on his turn.

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:58

SPEAKER_03 1:01:03

Maybe just hit him then.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:04

Yeah. Um I mean I'm still on sandals and I want to be off of it, so if you sustain, then I can give you free movement.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:14

Uh, I still need to stand up and everything. Yeah. Well, okay, but then so what can I even do with these actions? Stand. Cast.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:30

Okay. What first things first, we stand.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:32

Okay, that's uh one action. I run into the field. And then here comes the bonk on the maiden. On the shrine maiden. It's an eight on dice plus nineteen for a twenty-seven. Ah, that's it. Nice. Here comes the damage. Not super great. Eighteen. Bonk. And we are going to swing again. Because why not? 15 on dice. Nice. So that's 10. So that turns into a 29.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:14

Oh, sorry. Um the cow cow chan. Alright. He just keeps doing AoE stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:21

He needs to go.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:22

He's allowed to do that. 28? That's a hit. Is this Bell up in the air? Like, can we just can I just walk underneath it?

SPEAKER_06 1:07:29

Uh it would be difficult to rain.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:31

You could like bend over and walk underneath it. Okay. 11 points of damage. I probably shouldn't have actually plugged that hole because now we gotta kill the girl first.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:40

Uh that's I was trying to figure out how to get to him. That's why I kinda done?

SPEAKER_03 1:07:47

Um, so I raised shield, I five foot step, I attack. Yes, all done.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:52

Okay. And you're calculating your second in there too so uh shrine maiden.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:59

He doesn't care about you. He's uh plus he's in league with Kugdi.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:07

Nobody loves you.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:10

She will two-action heal herself.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:13

Does it have a manipulate trait?

SPEAKER_06 1:08:15

It does.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:15

Attack. Reactive strike, both of them. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:19

Uh she will five foot step back, and then two-action heal herself. Hey, you wouldn't let us do that.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:26

Um life? 31.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:29

Hit.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:30

30.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:30

Hit. None of them critically, so she will continue on with the heal.

unknown 1:08:38

13.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:39

25. 10.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:43

35 damage?

SPEAKER_04 1:08:44

Yeah. How much did she heal herself for?

SPEAKER_06 1:08:48

Wouldn't you like to know?

SPEAKER_04 1:08:49

Was it more than 35?

SPEAKER_06 1:08:50

Yes. She gets to add 32 to the role when she heals. Oh damn.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:58

Yeah, we might want to focus somebody. Because they just keep healing.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:01

So they'll be out of spells eventually.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:04

Okay. And we'll be out of health eventually.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:07

Yeah. Nah. That's not how this works.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:12

Uh, she will drop the bow and draw her mace.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:16

Is that a manipulate? Yep. Attack. Can you he's got two reactions. We've talked about this. Okay, cool. Um, that's only a 20 though. It's not gonna hit. Ari.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:31

Okay, Ari will continue with him of healing. So, Violet, did you take your eight healing on your turn?

SPEAKER_03 1:09:38

Oh no, I didn't thank you for any.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:40

Okay, so you will get eight more eight temporary hit points total and um fast heal on your turn. And then Ari will take out a um moderate health potion and drink it.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:54

Oh shit, yeah. I need to prepare my like fulus and everything on my patches.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:00

I got 19 healing back. Gardus.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:03

Uh I kind of grit my teeth and say, I'm trying to help you. Uh, as I five foot step and stick an axe in it. Yeah, basically. But I'm gonna do my heal thing again. I man, I am bad at at remembering anything. So heal myself.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:22

Kind of our whole theme.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:25

That'd be the subtitle for the show. For 19. Oddbox, seasons of ghosts. Can't remember. Can't remember shit. Uh for 19, and then use my reaction to be able to move. Take a step forward. And then attack her. Oh my god. Uh 20 probably misses. Yeah. Um, let's see here. Everybody is okay, you're gonna all last.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:59

Yeah. Pops is looking kinda haggard, but he'll survive another round. Okay. Um. Likely. Yeah. Yeah. Right? That was bad. I definitely don't want to fall in this fight, though. I mean, we need to kill one of these guys. Uh, swing again.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:18

I'm quickly running out of higher level spells. I have no third.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:23

26 to hit the shield of maiden.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:26

I have one fourth left.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:28

That's it.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:39

21 points of damage. Five of it, but cold.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:44

Which she doesn't like, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:46

She doesn't like being cold. Pops.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:52

Okay. Pops is going to spark transcendence on Titan Breaker. Gonna shift that over into Scars the Survivor. Here comes the big swing. Uh six on dice, plus nineteen for a twenty-five.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:08

That's a myth.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:09

Damn, she's got better AC than he does. Uh uh, swing again with maps. And that is a nine on dice. Nope. Uh plus nineteen for a uh twenty-eight minus five for a twenty-three, which misses. Which is a miss. And that's his turn. Oh, uh, I did spark transcendence, so I will give the radiant to uh violet. Do you need it? Uh yeah, I can use it. 16 health points.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:43

Everyone in the room, give me a will save.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:46

SPEAKER_02 1:12:55

Fail.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:56

Frightened one.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:57

Those of you that uh failed are frightened one and take 26 points of mental damage. Ooh, that one hurts. As this bell. It is unnatural. The lights seem to physically impact you with the swirling energy. It is, you can tell trying to banish you. And as we go into round six, we fade to black.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:05

I haven't come in. Jeff is ready ever. Ever.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:13

He has water.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:15
