The party has found the lost library and must choose how to make their way inside: stealth or battle. Once inside the countdown will begin on the search begins for The Nathlum, as our party aims to obtain it before Powell Niccam and whoever he's enlisted can find it first.

SPEAKER_16

Thanks so much for joining us for episode six of our Dale Lands campaign. Last episode, we journeyed further through the forest of Corminthor as we discovered an owlbear nest with four eggs and a man running the show. A man owlbear. A man owlbear. Ike spoke to this owlbear and found out that his mate, Corchesa, was missing. So, over the next few hours, as they traveled further into the forest in search of the lost library of Lechantos, they found Cortesa, who was imprisoned by three criminal foresters and hunters named Otto, Abraham, and Jesse. A little play of some sort was put on as Joanna and Val put on that they were lost adventurers to gather some information from Otto, Abraham, and Jesse, but uh there was a bit of suspicion in their story. Ike then stepped forward and communicated with Gorcesa, letting her know that Avia had sent them and that she was safe with them. Ike then, with the help of Hodge, had this fake Albear step forward and intimidate these three men until they laid down their arms, cowered in fear, and let Corchesa go. After a bit of communication with them, Cortessa then, at the behest of Ike, shot from the forest and killed these three men. As the party journeyed forward, Cortessa made it back to her partner Avia and her four about to hatch eggs and children. The party journeyed forward towards this toward the library and found a nice comfy place to stay the night where Hodge grilled Joanna a bit on her religion.

SPEAKER_18

Healthy discussion.

SPEAKER_16

Healthy discussion. Um you did long rest, yeah. Uh at the end of this discussion, uh this this kind of campfire uh round table, um everyone fell asleep and had a peaceful night's rest. So we begin uh about half a day's journey from where you know the library is as you wake up to the sound of nature, chirping of insects and birds, uh leaves blowing through as it is uh about to be in one day the summer solstice.

SPEAKER_20

Um that it's going to be dark for longer.

SPEAKER_11

Of course you are. Um after the the talk with Hodge the night before, Joanna's trance was fitful to say.

SPEAKER_07

And since she's woken up, she's just been kind of like sitting in thousand yards staring, just thinking about her entire life up to this point. And everything she's ever done wrong.

SPEAKER_17

Good morning, Joanna! Sounds like a rock. Heavy one.

SPEAKER_00

Good, good. Um glad to hear it.

SPEAKER_18

Yes, and you're feeling well? You're half asleep? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just like normal and fantastic.

SPEAKER_03

For sure.

SPEAKER_18

I'm gonna make some breakfast.

SPEAKER_03

Cool.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah. Orion's gonna walk over to Joanna. You've been quiet longer than usual.

SPEAKER_22

Sorry to disappoint. What's up? Are you asking me? Yeah. You actually want to know? Oh.

SPEAKER_20

That's what allies do. That's what hey. That's what uh associates' friends. Friends do.

SPEAKER_06

There it is.

SPEAKER_04

Did you have to do it? I'm sorry, do you do you have certain do you don't speak of it? Do you say that? Don't speak of a little bit louder.

SPEAKER_20

That's what people who adventure together do. You asked me how I was. I'm simply returning that favor.

SPEAKER_18

He's getting closer. Getting closer. It's amazing. It's like luring a lemming out of a hole. Yes!

SPEAKER_10

In one way. You coax them out. They come out slowly.

SPEAKER_04

Fun, I guess. I just I had a weird conversation with Hodge last night, and it kind of I don't know. It's it's I've been thinking about a lot of stuff.

SPEAKER_06

He really does get to think he doesn't mean. I didn't do anything. I did you have to do it. I was going to say what was the matter, and then it was you, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_18

We simply engaged in a theological debate!

SPEAKER_02

I just think that maybe everything that's happened so far may or may not have been my fault because of my god.

SPEAKER_18

Your God's fault! The fault of the gods!

SPEAKER_10

That's what we all believe about gods, right?

SPEAKER_15

Hodge called me the perfect, like, what'd you call me, like the perfect conduit or something of my god, where like that? I am both like the bad and the good.

SPEAKER_06

You're the perfect instrument, I think.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

You're the ideal follower, yes. You deal death and healing just uh as evenly, I'd say. I just find it fascinating.

SPEAKER_08

It's not something you strive for following your God? I don't know, that's the thing. Like, I'm that's what I'm here to figure out.

SPEAKER_02

I don't I don't I don't know if I want to be that side of it. Like, I don't know if that's I don't know I don't know if it's right.

SPEAKER_06

There is always balance in you, as I had said last night, you are the perfect instrument to bring about that necessary balance. You cannot have suffering without the existence of healing, nor can you have the vice versa.

SPEAKER_20

I know, but it's a it feels like it's all an that dichotomy is going to exist, whether you believe in that your God or not. Oh, very, very true. There's always going to be suffering, and there is always going to be healing. Whether you believe in the God or not, that doesn't make it any different.

SPEAKER_06

And whether you believe it really causes it or not.

SPEAKER_20

The difference is you are there to heal. Can you believe that? Yes.

SPEAKER_06

We all do, I think. It's where your talents lie.

SPEAKER_04

I just wish I could know more.

SPEAKER_07

Like I try to talk to him or whatever, and I've never-spoken.

SPEAKER_04

No, I never hear anything back. Interesting.

SPEAKER_22

What if I told you I have the same problem? You what?

SPEAKER_20

It's one of the reasons I left the temple.

SPEAKER_22

I was there my whole entire life. And everybody would talk to Seluna constantly, and I never heard anything back. No matter how much pain I was in, no matter how much suffering, no matter what I did, no matter if I missed my shot or made it, she was gone.

SPEAKER_20

She was there for everybody else, but not for me.

SPEAKER_06

I've never heard her voice either. But she is I think show me things. She is trying to show you things, but you are refusing to look and see.

SPEAKER_20

All I've seen is suffering. The balance that I speak of did not exist where I'm from.

SPEAKER_06

But it exists in the world, Orion.

SPEAKER_20

Well, I'm starting to learn that.

SPEAKER_06

And we are all a part of that balance.

SPEAKER_11

Just kind of quietly so no one else other than him really hears. Are you sitting next to her? Yeah. Um she'll put a hand on your arm and just to you. Thank you for telling me.

SPEAKER_03

He definitely, when you touch him, he definitely like tenses up a little bit. And then when he realizes that you are being kind, he relaxes.

SPEAKER_20

But he doesn't say anything back. You just feel that kind of relaxation is kind of confirmation of what you said.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. So what? What are you nodding at?

SPEAKER_18

I just feel this is quite the crisis of faith we have here in our our little party at it.

SPEAKER_15

Well, I'm glad my crisis of faith can be of entertainment to you.

SPEAKER_18

I am writing it down.

SPEAKER_15

Oh, good. Good. So I can relive it later.

SPEAKER_18

The only way through a crisis is forward. And I have a feeling that we will find our answers.

SPEAKER_03

That is true. Lots of suffering and healing to uh our journey.

SPEAKER_18

Faith and belief, in my opinion, are not the same. They feed off of each other. Without one, you cannot have the other. If you are experiencing a crisis of faith, I believe you are also experiencing a crisis of belief. So maybe you do not believe as much as you wish you did.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Perhaps deep down you don't believe it at all. But let's not think about that right now. Yes! Pass it around, pass around the pipe.

SPEAKER_11

Uh, okay.

SPEAKER_06

Pass around the pipe, everybody take uh two, and uh we continue on show.

SPEAKER_10

Hey, check this out.

SPEAKER_06

Did you feel it to my nose? You're not supposed to do that.

SPEAKER_18

I use press the digitation to clean the pipe.

SPEAKER_05

Just my body. Yes.

SPEAKER_18

I don't know where that brown smudge came from in the water. It must have been on the soles of my feet. Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_04

So the magic reaches everywhere about the soles of your feet?

SPEAKER_18

The magic reach is where I touch.

SPEAKER_04

What?

SPEAKER_07

I now regret letting you do that to me. I did not do that previously.

SPEAKER_19

Now I am. Did you not feel clean?

SPEAKER_20

Oh but I heard definitely clean after.

SPEAKER_01

Never touched me.

SPEAKER_18

Maybe I disturbed the river bottom. Open the river's bottom. Orion generally This is gonna be a good day, I guess.

SPEAKER_20

For the first time Orion wants to take a hit of Ike's pipe.

SPEAKER_03

Should we go like should we go right away?

SPEAKER_20

You see him like pull his mask out a little bit, and then he takes the pipe, and you see just all of the smoke through his mask.

SPEAKER_18

Like a vape artist.

SPEAKER_20

And you hear him coughing.

SPEAKER_21

I don't think he's supposed to be.

SPEAKER_02

It's just trapped.

unknown

It's trapped in the football.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Yeah, he does like waften a little bit, but you don't see anything.

SPEAKER_18

We must be close to the library now. Half a day's journey.

SPEAKER_16

About half a day's journey. Ike, are you shifting into anything for this journey? Uh no, not this time.

SPEAKER_18

I think we're all walking anyway, right? Because uh we don't have enough horses anymore.

SPEAKER_09

Our horses ran away.

SPEAKER_18

You've got one.

SPEAKER_16

It would be gay if walking speed.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, but we have two.

SPEAKER_16

Right, yes, the one did come back. Yeah. The one got killed, the other one came back. Yeah. So you do have two. Unfortunately, three people can't fit on a horse, so well.

SPEAKER_08

Not that attitude again.

SPEAKER_16

I mean, you're welcome to try. I got my D6 ready. For damage of you falling off.

SPEAKER_18

I used to for horse failure.

SPEAKER_03

Even numbers, the horse is fine. Odd numbers, the horse is dead.

SPEAKER_16

Everyone's everyone's full size in this campaign. You don't have any small folk to help you out with that.

SPEAKER_03

I think she's actually all bigger than you should. I'm shorter. That's true. Bigger still like five eight, five nine. That's not shorter. Shorter than Lyria. Lyriels. Wow.

SPEAKER_22

She's almost six foot. Wow.

SPEAKER_16

She wants heels.

SPEAKER_22

Yeah, so she's probably she might be five.

SPEAKER_16

She's wearing the heels through the forest.

SPEAKER_21

Yeah. They look good. What do you want? Okay.

SPEAKER_16

Noted. You will have disadvantage on all checks. Heels were made for men, though.

SPEAKER_09

Not if she's proficient in heels.

SPEAKER_16

Maybe persuasion checks.

SPEAKER_03

Boots. Have you ever seen Patty Donia?

SPEAKER_14

Patty Gonia boots.

SPEAKER_03

Boots with a little heels.

SPEAKER_16

They're block heels.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Right.

SPEAKER_21

You worked at a shoe store.

SPEAKER_16

Still, you're liable to roll an ankle.

SPEAKER_21

Not on a block heel.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. We don't need heel logistics added to this journey, unfortunately. Um. After half a day's journey on foot, uh, I mean, everyone is welcome to ride on those horses if you want, but somebody's gonna have to be on foot at least, take turns. Um, you find the door to the lost library of Les Trontos standing before you. Yes, right where right where Myrna Noor said it would be. Finally.

SPEAKER_20

Okay, she told the truth.

SPEAKER_16

The door is built into a hillside, but you clearly aren't the first one to discover it. I know it. Brush has been cleared away from it, and footprints lead up to the closed door.

SPEAKER_03

Are there any footprints coming out?

SPEAKER_16

You can make a survival check.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

May I look at the footprints to determine how old they are?

SPEAKER_16

Yes.

SPEAKER_06

Survival check as well.

SPEAKER_18

I would also ask that.

SPEAKER_21

Oh! Can I have a chance?

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, anyone help anyone helping can help? I would like to help Ike because I also want to ask Ike if he thinks that they're the same as the footprints that we found before we met the owlbears. Oh, with the elite guy, yes.

SPEAKER_16

15. Um a 15 and a 22 for Orion uh tell you that uh there are multiple sets of footprints uh belonging to medium and small booted people. Orion recognizes the small boots to be goblinoid.

SPEAKER_04

I can talk to him.

SPEAKER_16

Um and you see ten odd sets of footprints. Hard to deduce exactly how many because there are so many f steps going on, but uh you see kind of ten-ish different sizes. Um and then you see these footprints lead um a bit further away from the library door to a different uh place. If you want to make a nature check for me.

SPEAKER_03

A druid with a minus one to nature.

SPEAKER_16

Can I um do some kind of detective? No, let's go. Like a virtual cast that's there wouldn't be any magic here. Uh 22 nature or whatever. You find, as you follow, some of the tracks that kind of lead some of the tracks lead off a bit uh away from the door, about 150 feet from this door. Um, to what looks like to you, you can you can ascertain that this is a uh a cave that leads to a bear's den. Whoa. What the hell? Um but you can you can tell that this leads to the same kind of I guess you could call it a structure, but you can you can tell that this leads to the same indoor area. So it's just a secret entrance to the library. Kind of another entrance, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Um I have found another entrance.

SPEAKER_16

Obviously, I mean it's 150 feet away, so you would you would guess that it's a different room altogether, uh, but they kind of interconnect. Oh. Um yeah. Uh on the map you can this is the bear's den. The bear's den, and this is the door.

SPEAKER_06

Can I uh look for bear prints or smell the air to see if there's a bear in here or not?

SPEAKER_17

Yeah. Just just to be safe. Uh you do.

SPEAKER_16

Uh I'll I'll go off of that nature check that you already made. Um there is certainly a bear here.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

I see him.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god, it's a spinning image of Hog. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, but they're so cute.

SPEAKER_16

Assuming that I went alone to find this. Yeah, they they probably would have like helped you get maybe fifty feet along, and then you kind of followed uh your nose uh the rest of the way.

SPEAKER_06

There is another entrance. There is a cave down this way. There is a bear. Or at least let us pass peacefully. It probably acts as some kind of guard.

SPEAKER_20

Could you speak with it?

SPEAKER_06

I could.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I could. Forgot I have the spell. You want to go that way instead of just through the door?

SPEAKER_06

Uh we can try the front door first, but it might be a good idea to enter in secretly, since we are not the only ones here.

SPEAKER_18

Can we see if the front door is locked?

SPEAKER_06

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Is it locked?

SPEAKER_16

You so as as you walk up to it, you hear inside kind of a a chanting. Uh to the door? Of multiple Yeah. Of multiple based on Orion's uh observations, probably goblins, and you recognize the voice because you dealt with plenty of goblins on this trek through the desert as well. Uh you hear them chanting 17!

SPEAKER_12

17, 17, 17! I'm not sure what this is.

SPEAKER_04

I know what this is, you son of a She doesn't curse me, son of a bitch.

SPEAKER_16

Seventeen's really high for those.

SPEAKER_04

Hodge, go on.

SPEAKER_16

You see kind of like an eye hole in the door. I know exactly what this is.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Uh Hodge, don't knock on the door.

SPEAKER_18

I don't think knocking is. Why don't you go look through the hole?

SPEAKER_03

Go look through the eye hole.

SPEAKER_18

See if you see anything. You were more heavily harmful. Would you mind leading the way?

SPEAKER_03

Sure, but they'll definitely hear me coming. I could also sneak.

SPEAKER_06

Sure. Yes, so Ryan, I think you I think you should.

SPEAKER_20

Well, now I don't want to. This is a practical joke.

SPEAKER_06

No, no, no, no. You need to sneak up there.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Just to make sure.

SPEAKER_20

We don't want them to hear us.

SPEAKER_06

See how many there are. See how much we're up there.

SPEAKER_22

17.

SPEAKER_02

Well, just go take a listen.

SPEAKER_16

Stealth check first.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I'll tap you to be like, she'll guide me in all mysterious presents myself.

SPEAKER_06

Let's see if he offered all the kids.

SPEAKER_10

That's not good.

SPEAKER_16

With all the sneak up, but there's there's a lot of kind of like dry leaves as you sneak up, so it's hard to surpass. You hear kind of crunching. You try to softly crunching, I'm not gonna continue. Okay. But you you make it up to the door uh and you hear them continue.

SPEAKER_12

Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen! Look through.

SPEAKER_03

Look through!

SPEAKER_06

How many are there, Ryan?

SPEAKER_03

See if you can see anything. Alright, I'll try again after I try what? I'm gonna keep going. I like stopped.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_19

Alright. You go.

SPEAKER_02

They're gonna poke me in the eye, aren't they? They're gonna poke me in the eye, aren't they? Just look down the home and tell me how many are in there.

SPEAKER_16

I do it. You look through the eye.

SPEAKER_03

They're just a yes, but from a distance, because I'm afraid of me and get poked.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. As soon as you lift up and look through, uh, you see a uh a stick come through the eye hole and uh make a dexterity second throw.

SPEAKER_06

I knew it, I knew it. I can't believe you hadn't seen it.

SPEAKER_03

Still guided. Save it first, do I get dragons?

SPEAKER_07

Not so stupid. I've seen it before, but then I saw it again like yesterday.

SPEAKER_16

Okay, you dodge out of the way. Uh I grab it. Okay, you grab it, and then you hear uh one of them starts going, eighty.

SPEAKER_03

I grab it and I poke it back through. Wow! Joanna is black.

SPEAKER_16

No, you feel one of the goblins go uh backwards onto their ass, and you hear a funk, and they go, probably still 17.

SPEAKER_06

So much love uh quiet.

SPEAKER_20

See, aren't you glad you looked through the entrance? I look at you, but you can't see my expression.

SPEAKER_16

You can feel your expression. So you are now on the other side of this door. It's hot for a room. Holy make a presenting check for me.

SPEAKER_03

Open it beautiful.

unknown

Three.

SPEAKER_03

It's something Back has said that only I heard, and now I'm gonna use it against her friend.

SPEAKER_19

Twenty-six. Open it and beautiful.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you can ascertain that there are four goblins in here. And they are obviously on the very other side of this door playing this practical joke. Um you can relay that to your team who are not next to the door if you want. Uh otherwise, what would you like to do?

SPEAKER_20

I'll just hold up like a four with my fingers.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_20

Okay. Oh I see.

SPEAKER_18

It seems like they're expecting us, though.

SPEAKER_16

We could ambush them. You do see a bit of flickering light. You would assume that this is this room in there is lit by torches.

SPEAKER_02

Um I could stick my hand through the awful and the guiding bolt, flashbang them.

SPEAKER_16

As far as the door, uh it doesn't seem locked. Uh it seems like they were kind of just waiting for people to come and poke them in the eye. I want to cast Druidcraft fireplay and snuff out the torches.

SPEAKER_18

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_16

You probably have to see them to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_18

I could do it. Put your eye up to the hole.

SPEAKER_06

I create one of the following effects within range. Fire play, you light or snuff out a candle torch or a campfire. Doesn't say I see the flickering lights.

SPEAKER_16

I don't know. It's up to you. Um also have fireplace. I would say because it's behind a door, it's behind full cover. Okay. I was thinking like in the windows, I could see. Uh there's no windows. Oh, okay. This is just the apple. This door, yeah. The door is. It's like built it's built into a hillside. I was guessing. So this cave, this natural cave kind of leads into this hillside, and then obviously there's been some man-made uh thing that this the library of Lithonchos is obviously man-made uh and has been built in here and then obviously discovered by these goblins and likely uh a few more um Zenterem as well.

SPEAKER_18

If we could hold but a moment, I can uh create an apparition that may uh open the door from a distance that could hide and ambush anyone that were to exit. Or the bear cave. But either way, opening the door may serve as a valuable destruction.

SPEAKER_19

I could talk to the bear.

SPEAKER_06

Yes, but then the goblins are in.

SPEAKER_16

I mean the goblins obviously know that one person at least is there currently.

SPEAKER_06

So if we uh leave, they will be on the wiser. We don't know how many we are. Yes. We could sneak up on them from behind and ambush them. Yes, surprise.

SPEAKER_18

I think I can still then open the door, and when we open the door, that will distract them from the entrance we are entering through. I have an idea for you once we get to the bear cave. I could use your healthology. Great. I will take uh ten minutes if we can to ritual cast unseen servant.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

And then we can progress towards the bear cave.

SPEAKER_11

And if we need any information out of them, I can speak to them in their own language. Yes, that's right, you can speak goblin.

SPEAKER_18

Let us uh knock one of them out then, leave one of them alive, but unconscious is still probably for the best, so they don't run.

SPEAKER_06

I think once we get to the cave, you can uh predigitate a cry of a cub. Ooh, see if it will lure it out of the cave.

SPEAKER_18

I can create the illusion of a bear cub's crawling? Yes, absolutely.

SPEAKER_06

Outside of the cave and have it cry or something, so if it is a mother, they can go to it.

SPEAKER_18

You don't feel that it will disrupt your potential conversation with it if I try to speak to it, and if it if that will lure it out. Fantastic.

SPEAKER_06

Well if it does come to it, then I will speak to it. Yes. And if I hope it doesn't come to it, but we may have to fight it.

SPEAKER_10

Yes. We'll see. Jeez, the crying baby, really.

SPEAKER_03

Just because we have to fight it though.

SPEAKER_10

That's true, bro.

SPEAKER_09

You know? Yeah. I can knock it out, probably.

SPEAKER_21

Give it a little choke all.

SPEAKER_18

That would be a sight to see. I'd pay to see that back in the water, Dick.

SPEAKER_06

You're a pommel of that sort of yours will prove to be a hefty uh.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, that Linda. Yeah, I bet she would love that.

SPEAKER_18

Oh, Linda, yes, Linda.

SPEAKER_03

Has she spoken to you or something? I bet she'd love that. She speaks to me every day. I just say. Ask Dallas.

SPEAKER_06

Ask Dallas when I touch her hands.

SPEAKER_20

It's Dallas uh shield you picked up. It's actually a city I've been to.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_18

Common euphemism there.

SPEAKER_03

They renamed her to Linda.

SPEAKER_21

It would usually be great axe plus one and actually.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_19

That's really funny.

SPEAKER_07

I love that.

SPEAKER_18

Yes. The crying baby marks on nearly every species. Well, I suppose most of it.

SPEAKER_08

I'd be surprised if it didn't.

SPEAKER_06

I don't know if it's a male or female in the cave, but if it's a male, less of a chance of it leaving the cave from that cry. Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

The sounds of a rival bear may also prove useful. Yes. Oh, triple.

SPEAKER_05

She's a good one.

SPEAKER_20

Could uh do press to digitate the sound of bees. Maybe it'll come okay for honey.

SPEAKER_18

To be clear, my illusions uh are cast through my my felt ring here, and press to digitate can only go so far, but my illusions uh are bound only by my creativity and their size, of course. I cannot make them very large.

SPEAKER_20

It's a good thing bees are small. Bees are small. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

They don't have to be. Have you ever heard of murder?

SPEAKER_18

Are you not implying, Orion, that the bear would be attracted to the potential of honey?

SPEAKER_01

I've not outside much.

SPEAKER_18

Yes, right. Well, in many children's books, where I grew up at least, the bears would go after honey, but I haven't found that to necessarily be the case. Not from just the sound of bees.

SPEAKER_01

That's definitely what he's referencing.

SPEAKER_18

Yes, and I am like picking up that that's what you're referencing, but I'm trying to like dissuade you from that, like, gently. I don't want to like burst your mouth.

SPEAKER_16

Studied Winnie the Pooh.

SPEAKER_21

I mean, I guess Lily was fully there and body right infringed.

SPEAKER_06

Ike has never read a children's book, so he's like, what the fuck are you talking about?

SPEAKER_21

Ike wasn't born wild.

SPEAKER_18

Like sure wasn't. A bear will float out of the cave by the book.

SPEAKER_21

Maybe I can make the smell of a baked, a freshly baked pie.

SPEAKER_20

Ryan didn't get like the good, not good quality children's books. They're just like the dollar store knockoff.

SPEAKER_03

You got like the AI-generated buttons. It was like books like, oh, well, I guess we have children in this temple. Here you go, I guess.

SPEAKER_18

All cool shit.

SPEAKER_03

Learn how to wield a sword.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, I'm sorry about this.

SPEAKER_09

Oh my god. I promise I'll get you some of my favorite children's books.

SPEAKER_18

He would love that. If you give an outlet a horse.

SPEAKER_17

Actually, my ask for another.

SPEAKER_19

Good night moon was the only book he had.

SPEAKER_03

And the moon called Goodnight Loon that I bought per car.

SPEAKER_19

If you didn't, and he did Rivalry, he hears a loon and he didn't know.

SPEAKER_03

But the fuck is this?

SPEAKER_19

Well now I gotta watch that video. Is he French in that show?

SPEAKER_03

He did Rivelry Night. Three of us. He's Russian.

SPEAKER_18

That's your thought.

SPEAKER_07

Sorry.

SPEAKER_06

Thank you. So we approached the cave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

So over these 10 minutes that Hodge is taking to cast, obviously the goblins are gonna grow a bit antsy.

SPEAKER_06

I mean we had left. Oh sorry if I hit Mike. We had left, and then he was doing that thing. Like outside of the cave, I thought.

SPEAKER_16

We walked 100.

SPEAKER_09

We were like closer to the bear cave.

SPEAKER_16

We walked out. The goblins obviously know that somebody's on the other side of the door, and then you're spending 10 minutes away. So uh just just fair warning.

SPEAKER_09

Um you know what? In that case, I'm gonna pick up a pebble and cast light on it and throw it in the line hole.

SPEAKER_03

That's funny. You hear them go nobody has ever used light on it. You used it on me. You literally last for one hour.

SPEAKER_16

You see the pebble fly back out.

SPEAKER_03

What?

SPEAKER_17

Yeah, you like the spell.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, do you have to chant for it?

SPEAKER_17

I'm like mumbling under my breath in my waking.

SPEAKER_04

Sorry.

SPEAKER_03

I'm each time he gets interrupted. I should just I'm gonna stop.

SPEAKER_08

I'm gonna stop adding a conversation.

SPEAKER_19

Orion's kind of like polishing his bow as I'm doing this. I bet you're pictures.

SPEAKER_16

Is anyone stationed by the door listening in, or are you all under the cave?

SPEAKER_04

Are they talking in conflict?

SPEAKER_16

We have left the door.

SPEAKER_04

Are they talking in common?

SPEAKER_16

You yeah, you went over to the cave, yeah. I thought we all did. I'm at the cave. Well, Orion obviously was at the door.

SPEAKER_03

That's true. After the case, we when you were in the bathroom, we all talking about it. That's right, that's right.

SPEAKER_18

We made a plan, sorry.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Sorry, we just get to a romance seat done. We all plan to go to the entrance. Sorry, I didn't know.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah, not your fault.

SPEAKER_09

Did you not listen to the playback? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_16

I couldn't hear the piss until uh for real.

SPEAKER_21

For real. Oh, good lord.

SPEAKER_06

So we had planned to go to the entrance of the cave, wait outside of it, and Hodge is gonna pressure digitate a cub. Uh what? An illusion. Oh, for sure. Uh to uh a crying bear cub to see if it would lure this bear out of the cave. Uh if it doesn't, we're gonna try perhaps a rival, the sound of a rival bear, if it is a bear, since I don't know. Okay.

SPEAKER_16

If it doesn't lure it out, I will go talk to it. Okay. So you see that the the from the ambient light of it being midday, you can see that the cave kind of winds through into kind of a natural cavern. You can see that there is no light inside of this cavern. So sound would work to your advantage, obviously. Yeah. Um, but just uh so anyone without dark vision uh in this group would would struggle to see once you got into that cavern. Um but oh yeah, Mr.

SPEAKER_05

Species.

SPEAKER_16

Uh again, you would also know that the that the goblins in the room are are very kind of on guard, uh, especially 10 minutes after they tried to poke someone in the eye and got immediate revenge. Uh they are probably very much on guard. Um but after this 10-minute casting time, everyone is stationed around the mouth of this cavern. And you start with the sound of a cub.

SPEAKER_18

Hide along the edge, and then I will create on the opposite side, hopefully lure the bear out. So can we hide on like the edge of the cave around the side?

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, make a stealth check with advantage, please. Let's go!

SPEAKER_09

With advantage?

SPEAKER_16

You've got 10 minutes to find it. Filthy, dirty, twenty.

SPEAKER_03

Jesus! With advantage sucked. I'm supposed to be the stealthy one. 15!

SPEAKER_05

12.

SPEAKER_03

13.

SPEAKER_02

Can I almost do it? Okay. So thank god I can grab my.

SPEAKER_03

That sucks. Working on deer. Please.

SPEAKER_16

You guys are totally fine.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, never mind. It was fine.

SPEAKER_18

And then I will minor illusion the sound on the opposite side, 30 feet away.

SPEAKER_16

Into the cave mountain.

SPEAKER_18

Out the other side of the cave to try to lure it out and go the direction that we are not on the side of the cave.

SPEAKER_16

Okay, so outside of the cave in the forest part. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_18

As far as I can get it. Okay. Hopefully the bear will go that way, and then we can whoop slip in.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Uh so this is a kind of like a whimpering bear. It's a baby bear something. A bear, baby bear.

SPEAKER_03

You're welcome. Clipping that and using it, yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Um alligator.

SPEAKER_21

Why would you know what that sounds like? Why would you not?

SPEAKER_16

I watched a steeper one. Uh you hear these large, slow footsteps. The claws kind of clattering against the bottom of the cave and echoing through, uh, coming towards this sound. Um as the bear kind of comes out, it kind of squints its eyes as it steps into the sunlight. Outside of the cave, you see a large fish hanging out of its mouth. Kind of looks around, uh, kind of looking for this cub, kind of sniffs, doesn't seem to smell it. Takes a couple steps further out, uh, and is now about twenty feet from you guys. Um sniffs again, looks around, things back on its hind legs to get a good look. Uh sits back down. Is this sound continuing as it as it's?

SPEAKER_18

I think it can be like a continuous sound for up to an hour. Yes, I would have it be continuing.

SPEAKER_16

Uh it kind of trudges forward. Uh it looks very cautious. Like it doesn't trust this. Or at least it it doesn't seem uh ready to find what what this sound is triggering. Uh kind of pushes through the brush, looks around the trees, it it obviously hears this sound, but it doesn't see any cub. Can I oh sorry.

SPEAKER_06

Uh can I druid craft 30 feet from me because it's the range on it the sound of another bear cub.

SPEAKER_16

Sure. Uh so in a different spot. Not close to where Hodge is. Okay. Uh you see it immediately, like its ears turn and then it and then its heads its head turns, uh, searches again. So these two bear cub sounds kind of echoing off of each other. Uh it looks around, starts huffing and puffing, and uh very frustrated that I can't find the source of the sound.

SPEAKER_18

I the only thing scarier than a bear, Ike.

unknown

Owl bear!

SPEAKER_18

And I will minor illusion the sound of an owl bear roar between us and the bear to hopefully just spook it off from the cave. Like essentially, well, if it's emanating from the cave mouth, hopefully it won't want to go there.

SPEAKER_09

Hopefully it's dumb enough to not make that. Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Super loud, like owl bear screech.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you make the screech of an owlbear echo throughout the cave, and you see the bear stands back on hind legs, uh, ditches the fish, and goes running, sprinting back into the cave.

SPEAKER_18

Let's maybe try diplomacy with the bear.

SPEAKER_16

Uh we could. Yes. Obviously, it clearly wants to defend its cave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

I can potentially command that John to sit still.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, there's a big bite taken out of the fish.

SPEAKER_18

It becomes too much.

SPEAKER_09

It becomes to that. I don't want to hurt him because he's real cute.

SPEAKER_18

We could bring the fish in as a peace offering. It seemed to be interrupted.

SPEAKER_09

If I do that, I will bring the fish back. Oh, yeah, we could bring it.

SPEAKER_18

You command the bear valve.

SPEAKER_09

Like halt or sit or whatever.

SPEAKER_18

That will be an act of aggression. I don't believe the bear will take it lightly.

SPEAKER_09

I don't want to hurt him.

SPEAKER_18

Right. I don't want him to be sitting. It will try to hurt us, I think, if you cast a spell on it.

SPEAKER_09

Right, but if it's sittin'.

SPEAKER_18

If it's sittin'. If it's sitting, we may be able to get around it.

SPEAKER_06

When it dispels, it will probably come after us.

SPEAKER_09

We got at least how long that dolls. Like a minute.

SPEAKER_03

Instantaneous as a duration.

SPEAKER_10

Six seconds, baby.

SPEAKER_03

Well, we can run real fast, I believe in us. Orion in his head is like, why don't we just kill the damn thing?

SPEAKER_01

Because he's cute! He doesn't want to say that because Ike just uh sucked. He sucked.

SPEAKER_03

He called the owl bear on the hunters. He sucked on that owl bear? The book?

SPEAKER_06

We're not going to kill the bear. It's got nothing to do. I didn't say it that loud.

SPEAKER_03

I was just thinking it.

SPEAKER_06

Let's press. But Orion would just kill it.

SPEAKER_09

For sure. Get me over there.

SPEAKER_03

But he's gotten better with people, so he's like, oh, they like me. I guess I should like that and he knows. Lily is like, I would never touch that owlbear. This is his home. But Orion, he yeah.

SPEAKER_19

He's like, this thing's in my way for Charlotte? I want to kill it. I think we should.

SPEAKER_16

Uh, you can hear the bear growling it very confusedly as it's kind of like echoing through the cave, like respect to this bear.

SPEAKER_18

It was definitely about to square up with an owl there. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Mess with the bear's house. Speak with animals. Especially if it's big and blue.

SPEAKER_11

Uh and I'll guide Ike also just in case.

SPEAKER_16

It doesn't seem to be saying words, it just seems to be growling. Um. But if you'd like to communicate with it, you certainly can.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. I will walk it up closer to it. Okay. Give me the vision.

SPEAKER_03

Did you pick it up for something? No. You took a bite of the bear.

SPEAKER_16

There is a bite taken out of it from the bear. It kind of like it's it kind of instead of it didn't like drop it out of its teeth limply. It kind of like took a bite in kind of anxiousness. So you do see a bear-sized bite taken out of this fish, but uh obviously plenty of it is still remaining.

SPEAKER_03

He's like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_16

I will go up.

SPEAKER_03

I find Joanna.

SPEAKER_06

Hey.

SPEAKER_21

Hey. Sorry.

SPEAKER_06

Hey fuckers. You uh left your lunch. Who's there? My name is I'm in the I am bringing you the rest of your life. I might give you a little more. My friends and I need to do it. Are you with the elder? No. Are you with the elder bear? No, I don't believe I heard them. I know you're very confused. My friends, my four friends and I need to say Can you enjoy that?

SPEAKER_16

We will leave you alone. Make an animal handling check. Easy is thirteen.

SPEAKER_06

That's a ten. Really low.

SPEAKER_16

It starts walking towards you. Easy now, easy. It grabs the fish by the head and throws it back, and it you hear it splash.

SPEAKER_06

I have more.

SPEAKER_16

You see it splash into the water behind. It stands on its hind legs. Oh no. Leave. No!

unknown

I don't want to close in my hand.

SPEAKER_08

I don't close my hand in my hand.

SPEAKER_03

I would like to cast hole. I'll run a shot.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. What's the save on that?

SPEAKER_09

Wisdom 14. Bear's pretty dumb.

SPEAKER_16

Uh could be. That's a 15.

SPEAKER_14

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_16

You see, like you see. Oh shit. You see out of the corner of your eye, Val kind of reach her hand forward, and you see, you see the bear kind of shake it off as it closes its eyes and then goes. And it's going to slash at you immediately. Roll initiative.

SPEAKER_03

Can I can I shoot my can I run in front so he slashes my arm? If you read it in action, absolutely. Ugh. Ten. Ten.

SPEAKER_16

That's gonna miss.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I figured.

SPEAKER_16

Uh alright, roll initiative.

SPEAKER_03

Fucking shit, dog. Eight. What that means.

SPEAKER_16

Thirteen.

SPEAKER_03

God bless America.

SPEAKER_09

Ten.

SPEAKER_16

Hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_22

Yeah, one could be.

SPEAKER_16

Val was eight. Oh.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, uh, I got plus zero.

SPEAKER_16

And Joanna was ten. Ike. Thirteen. And Hodge.

SPEAKER_18

Twenty-one.

SPEAKER_03

I'm hoping that I'm shiny enough that the bear attacks me first. I got armor.

SPEAKER_16

That's a four for the bear.

SPEAKER_03

That's right, bitch.

SPEAKER_16

So it's gonna be Hodge, Ike, Joanna, Orion, and then the bear. Uh I have wrestled a bear once before, and I would rather not do it again.

SPEAKER_09

But you won?

SPEAKER_06

I did.

SPEAKER_05

Somehow. The bear is at the end of the day. It's gonna be very narrow.

SPEAKER_16

Cavemouth. Uh Hodge, what would you like to do? I have to go into the library. Uh 60 feet, definitely within that.

SPEAKER_18

Let's go. We're gonna go through the front door.

SPEAKER_05

Um, I want to go there, though. Let's kill the goblins.

SPEAKER_16

There we go.

SPEAKER_05

Fuck them.

SPEAKER_16

You guys certainly have fought harder things. Do you want to kill the goblins? Oh, yeah. I I know it's not taking part, but yeah, it is innocent.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I don't want to already.

SPEAKER_19

Um just knock it out. Ike, look out!

SPEAKER_18

Mine slimmer with 14.

SPEAKER_03

It's like an anime. He has to say everything all of a four year old. Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Not very smart, this brown bear.

SPEAKER_18

One psychic damage. I got you now!

SPEAKER_16

Ike.

SPEAKER_06

Uh I'm gonna turn around and run.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. How many fart feet?

SPEAKER_16

Actually, actually, you know what? Am I five or was that five people? This is who are fighting. You were ten. It was gonna it was gonna take a step forward and hit you.

SPEAKER_09

This is humor fighting. Yeah, see.

SPEAKER_16

Uh yeah, I'm gonna run and tell everyone else. Run! To the door! Uh, are you taking the dash action? Uh yes. Okay. Uh I guess the rest of the group, I mean, you're you're 30 feet or so from this bear already. So you could all dash and run away from it if you wanted to. Uh Joanna, you're the first one to act here. If you want to abide by Ike's uh judgment call here and just run, you certainly can. If not, you can attack.

SPEAKER_05

Don't let it run.

SPEAKER_06

Actually, probably won't. It'll stay in his game.

SPEAKER_07

She had like the guiding bolt like charging up in her hand. She liked runs past, like, get the fuck out.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, same thing. It's like this is a this foo's beyond the rings, right?

SPEAKER_03

I see Lord of the Rings.

SPEAKER_07

Um Yeah, she'll close your fist, turn and run. She'll trust Ike.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Is everyone else falling in that direction as well? Yeah. I think so.

SPEAKER_18

I did technically just go.

SPEAKER_03

I think he's very like disgruntled.

SPEAKER_20

He's like an animal.

SPEAKER_16

You did, but you're still a distance away.

SPEAKER_03

That's not my best for the other.

SPEAKER_16

So if the bear sees everyone turn, heel, and run, uh, it will not chase after.

SPEAKER_21

Told you!

SPEAKER_16

And it will stay and defend its den as everyone runs away.

SPEAKER_04

What a weird day that bear has. I'll listen when it comes to acting. Out of initiative, I'm like, do we need to talk?

SPEAKER_16

This bear absolutely is having a weird day. Yeah. Um the only other entrance, you've got this entrance, obviously, and you've got the door with the goblins. You know, I worry about goblins if we're gonna go. Judging by Orion's perception, uh, there are four goblins on the other side of this door. Wow.

SPEAKER_09

Do you want me to talk to you in like two seconds on the bigger one?

SPEAKER_16

Bust the door down.

SPEAKER_09

I can bust the door down.

SPEAKER_18

I can open it with my servant from a distance. And then I punch their faces in.

SPEAKER_01

I think. Yes. Only four goblins. That's all I'm saying, right?

SPEAKER_09

It's only four.

SPEAKER_01

Uh Lily loves this, but Orion's like, we shouldn't have done this from the start. Get in, get you out, do the mission.

SPEAKER_18

Val Orion, if you'd like to charge in. I have your backs. By all me.

SPEAKER_03

You say that, that's his permission. He's going. He's in. He's in 18!

unknown

Joanne is.

SPEAKER_04

Joanne's conflicted because she's like, I want to continue, but I don't know how I feel about hurting things now.

SPEAKER_18

Alright, who's the first one through here? Joanne stops participating in the fight. You should go through arranged.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I'm gonna run in that shit.

SPEAKER_16

Okay, Val, as you bust through this door. Oh, Linda's in her hand.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, with Linda.

SPEAKER_16

As you bust through this door, you and Linda. That's what I'm doing. Uh all four of these goblins over the past 10 minutes have been holding their short bows, readying in the time.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, but like what they done.

SPEAKER_03

Like what they take is.

SPEAKER_16

Your AC is 18, right?

SPEAKER_03

That's right, dog. Thank God you went in first.

SPEAKER_16

Uh one of them is going to hit uh for six damage. The other three arrows, you you do surprise they I mean they've been sitting here for 10 minutes waiting for somebody to come through that door. So their arms are either shaking with trying to hold this thing, or they've kind of like slacked it a bit. Yeah. Like nobody Nobody's coming, of course. Uh it was just some silly trick. Uh, and then you come busting through the door, and you see one of them that still had the still had it ready to fires, and then you see three other arrows shoot above the uh lodging into the door. Um so you see, you do take that six piercing damage. Uh and inside you do see in the corner is a warg.

SPEAKER_03

Uh puppy! I missed one of these a bunch of times once before. Ugly puppy. Ugly puppy. It's like roll initiative again. Can I do my action? Does that help? What do we do? You didn't say anything. Uh well, we were both gonna go in. Okay, nine. Eight.

unknown

Twelve.

SPEAKER_03

Did we call to actions? Did you do anything?

SPEAKER_18

No, you just said guns blazing.

SPEAKER_03

Great.

SPEAKER_18

That was eight. Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_09

I was flexing my muscles at them, and they were like, ah, it's so shiny and bright. Ah! And that's my only.

SPEAKER_03

I smashed that and you were like, ah!

SPEAKER_09

Right? Never met anyone like that.

SPEAKER_16

Joanna.

SPEAKER_09

I put my hair over my shoulder. Our eyes upon all of the goblins.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Uh all of the goblins are first, so they're gonna again. Oh so fuck.

SPEAKER_09

I'll be fine. Uh you'll be fine, I got you. I got an AC of eighteen.

SPEAKER_16

They're all going to switch to their simtars, um, and they are going to attack. Two of them are going to hit four twelve total damage. And that'll bring it to Ike.

SPEAKER_12

Um you s you hear them scream, Listen, ain't no place for visitors, so turn right around, march yourself out of here, don't come back, and then they stab Val.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, I'm gonna go next to Val.

SPEAKER_16

Uh, bonus action. And smack the one right in front of me. Okay. Uh the goblin's AC is fifteen. Oh, man, a fifteen will nice. Four five damage. Okay, this goblin is now bloody immediately as you smack it with your magically infused quarter staff. Uh, and you see blood just pulls in its mouth uh as you reach down quite a bit uh to its level. Joanna.

SPEAKER_02

Um I get you grabbed me.

SPEAKER_22

There's not a spot? I think it's not as empty spares? Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Not outside of the thing now. Straight line.

SPEAKER_22

I see. I see what you mean. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

How's it going up the tight spaces?

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, I'll go in front of the bottom. Yeah, this this is a very the image with the minis is crazy.

SPEAKER_07

There's an arrow pointed directly at the back of my head. Yeah, he gets mad.

SPEAKER_16

Very, very tight space here.

SPEAKER_07

But he would never.

SPEAKER_03

Because he really, really liked it. Well, he already did. He did in the episode. I just hit it and he shot it. Oh shit. That was on accident. I don't put it past.

SPEAKER_16

Who shot you? Thank you. Who shot JR?

SPEAKER_02

Well, uh. Could I reach the warg with the guid uh the guiding bolt?

SPEAKER_16

No.

SPEAKER_02

Uh if I like.

SPEAKER_16

You could hit the one in front of Val.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'm a waste of the game.

SPEAKER_18

You could hit the goblins, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, hit them both.

SPEAKER_18

Or you can heal Val, because she has two hit points.

SPEAKER_02

That's so true. Yeah, I have a total of two. A total of two, okay.

SPEAKER_16

They all also have Fix me uh half cover.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

Because they are in between. There's Val in between all of them.

SPEAKER_02

So what does that do for them?

SPEAKER_16

Uh plus two bonus to AC and deck saves.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. That's annoying.

SPEAKER_10

Um Valentine put.

SPEAKER_04

I will what's your what's your max?

SPEAKER_18

Twenty. Twenty.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, then I'm going to come up behind Bal Bow. You hear you f oh my god. You feel a touch on your shoulder blade. Um, and I'll hear wounds.

SPEAKER_11

Uh ten.

SPEAKER_10

Nice. And these two in spot, though.

SPEAKER_00

That's actually two.

SPEAKER_16

Uh-huh coming back from two HP to twelve.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. That's right, baby. Level two, baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When can we be level two? I need my wings. I need my wings.

SPEAKER_16

Is that your turn?

SPEAKER_15

Um you got any bonus? I've I have one, but I you don't have to use it if you want to.

SPEAKER_16

Uh the warg uh is in a cage, but you see the cage is open as they have prepared for this. Uh just in case. Uh reaction close the cage. Um you see the warg lunges forward, biting at Ike. Uh that's gonna be a 24 to hit. And that is going to be action! Oh! Spiny shield. Okay, what does it remind me of that? Uh so this.

SPEAKER_06

I create a spiny shield, conjures in front of me, gives me a plus two to my AC, and uh I reduce the damage dealt by two D4 and deal the same amount of piercing damage to the attacker.

SPEAKER_16

So that would be five piercing damage.

SPEAKER_06

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

I will reduce that by three, so only take two. And it will take two uh three piercing damage. Okay. Uh you see this warga lunge forward to you. It does manage to get a bite in above the spiny shield as it comes up, but you see that it impales uh its kind of lower body as it has lunged over it as it comes up uh and catches it. Um So any other goblins try to hit me, my AC is now 18. That is the end of my turn. Until your turn. Okay. Um the next attack roll on you uh will have advantage as well because of the warg's bite.

SPEAKER_06

Oh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Uh Hodge. Orion on deck.

SPEAKER_18

Can you just line me up right behind uh yourself, Orion? Never mind. Oh.

SPEAKER_06

What are you doing?

SPEAKER_03

I'm trying to figure out my bow positioning with all these people. How it would work.

SPEAKER_08

Tell me to dump it.

SPEAKER_06

It just works. Magic. I will.

SPEAKER_09

If it hits my armor, it automatically deflex and hits whoever you're playing.

SPEAKER_18

I will cast.

SPEAKER_03

That's what we have a spread. Yeah. Sorry.

SPEAKER_18

The goblin attacking Val sleep. To hopefully hit all three of those goblins right in front there. Okay. What's the save on that? As a constitution. Wait, what? Oh, wisdom 14. Sick.

SPEAKER_03

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_18

All three of them.

SPEAKER_16

Five-foot radius sphere.

SPEAKER_05

Oh shoot. Nice.

SPEAKER_16

That's new. Only the one in the middle fails. The one you were mainly targeting.

SPEAKER_21

Five foot radius. Does fail?

SPEAKER_16

It would hit both. If you centered it on that one, it should hit the one either side. Five-foot radius, you can get two of them.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_16

Either way, the one in the middle failed.

SPEAKER_02

Heh, fucker.

SPEAKER_18

Um. Great. She goes to sleep. Okay. Well, he's incapacitated. Nobody can hear it. And then he'll make the save again. Don't touch the one in the middle.

SPEAKER_03

I went free. God damn it.

SPEAKER_16

Uh, but that's it.

SPEAKER_12

What in the picture?

SPEAKER_16

Uh you see the one on the left that did save goes.

SPEAKER_12

No!

SPEAKER_16

And the one in the middle goes and just falls down.

SPEAKER_21

Oh shill.

SPEAKER_16

Uh Orion.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god. How far can I jump if I'm tall?

SPEAKER_16

Oh my.

SPEAKER_03

Tall.

SPEAKER_16

How tall is tall?

SPEAKER_03

He's six five.

SPEAKER_16

It's based on your strength.

SPEAKER_18

Wait, they're little. Can Orion run through our spaces because we're allies and then get to the other side of the goblin wall or not?

SPEAKER_16

Because goblins can move in spaces. The goblins are small, so you cannot move through their space, but you can move through your.

SPEAKER_03

I can move through my friends.

SPEAKER_16

Friends, yeah.

SPEAKER_19

But there's no way to move on. There's no way to go. Yeah. And this is a ranged attack, so I'm gonna get disadvantage on this guy.

SPEAKER_16

You could go for the long time. You're not gonna get disadvantage, but they will from you, they're gonna have three covers. Three quarters covered. Well, he's prone, because he's asleep. You could get the one in front of me.

SPEAKER_04

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_16

You do. He has three quarters cover. He has three-quarters cover, but you're five to AC. Yeah. So the AC would be twenty.

SPEAKER_05

I wanna do something. Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_03

What does that do for um dex checks?

SPEAKER_16

Plus five as well. Saves.

SPEAKER_10

Plus five and saves.

SPEAKER_16

For dex saves.

SPEAKER_18

Oh no! Take a shot, your bow will take it.

SPEAKER_16

It's like it's a physical thing that they're dying.

SPEAKER_18

Your bow will ring true, Orion. I need it.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, well, I'm going to go up. Well, I'm already behind Joanna. I'm going to say, I told you to stop running into the fray. And I'm gonna knock my arrow using her shoulder as a guide and try to hit.

SPEAKER_16

The incapacitated one?

SPEAKER_20

No, because that's disadvantage.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. This one, I know. Ace is 20.

SPEAKER_03

Oh no. Are you serious?

SPEAKER_14

23! 23!

SPEAKER_18

Oh my god. That was some pure joy, right there. That's what D is about, baby.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, that was so exciting. I can't feel my legs.

SPEAKER_16

This one has already been hit, by the way. This is the bloody one.

SPEAKER_07

You couldn't feel your legs is crazy comparison.

SPEAKER_16

Uh it was bloody, it is still bloody.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

Damn, all that for three damage. Fuck.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but it was still really cool.

SPEAKER_16

Both because it's a very much.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah!

SPEAKER_18

How arrow my fellow. The arrows shooting past you. How hurt are you, Val?

SPEAKER_09

Um, I could have eight more hit points to be at fool, but I'm not dying.

SPEAKER_20

I can hit her. I also have a feeling, and I don't use my spell too.

SPEAKER_16

You also can't reach her touch-wise.

SPEAKER_03

That's okay. Yeah, don't reach over me. Okay. Yeah, I'm not gonna do anything. That's okay, I'll be fine. Oh, okay. Yeah, so I take that shot and I take my bow off Joanna.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you do clip uh through all these bodies. You do clip this goblin who's still alive, uh, profusely bleeding from its jaw from the hit uh from the shillelie, and then another shot into its shoulder, and it is very, very hurt. Uh you see one uh kind of adjacent to your left, the bloody one that I just just described, uh, and then an incapacitated one snoring at your feet. Uh, and then to the right of you are two unharmed goblins.

SPEAKER_17

If you finish off the one dead one, the almost dead one, I can focus on the wall.

SPEAKER_21

I thought we'll do what you must.

SPEAKER_16

I trust your judgment. The almost dead one has two HP left.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, got to know.

SPEAKER_09

Okay. I'm uh I have two weapon fighting, so I'm gonna hit the almost dead one with Linda.

SPEAKER_16

Well, you can't two weapon fight with a large spawn.

SPEAKER_21

Or with a with a fucking fly.

SPEAKER_16

With two weapon fighting is it has to be two like small weapons, yeah. Like a dagger and a short sword or something. You don't have uh great axe mastery, do you?

SPEAKER_09

I actually don't, which is very unfortunate. But when I level up, I can get it.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, it'll get it a bunch of.

SPEAKER_09

I just said she was it because I didn't think I would have to do it.

SPEAKER_16

She didn't think she would get Linda.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I didn't think Linda would come into my life. Linda was a surprise and a blessing. Really. So Linda is here now, and she's my best friend.

SPEAKER_14

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03

I will be using it.

SPEAKER_16

She has yet to taste blood on this campaign. That's true.

SPEAKER_07

Uh oh, nervous.

SPEAKER_05

It has to be the same person I just attacked.

SPEAKER_03

So that would mean not just two hit points.

SPEAKER_17

Because it would be worth it. Yeah, I'd probably one shot a gun if you hit it as well.

SPEAKER_09

Alright, I'm gonna one-shot one of them dolls who is the one on the right? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

Well the one who's the one.

SPEAKER_16

I mean, I'll say the one directly to your right. Would make the most sense.

unknown

Unfortunately.

SPEAKER_05

And this okay.

SPEAKER_16

Goblin warrior.

SPEAKER_21

I got ten total.

SPEAKER_16

What was the total? Ah. Which is like you swing, uh Linda goes right over their heads as they duck down.

SPEAKER_09

Heal myself for the hell this works.

SPEAKER_16

Uh Val's gonna heal herself. Uh the very the very, very hurt bloody goblin is going to bonus action nimble escape, uh, taking the disengage action, and it's going to run down this hallway. Uh and then it is going to fire its short bow at Ike. Oh, crap. Does a 12 hit? Probably not. No. Okay. Uh I will say the shield is ineffective against ranged attackers.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. Copy that. So it's, yeah, I don't know. It's weird.

SPEAKER_16

So if uh 16 is bare. Only 13. Incapacited one remakes its save on its turn.

SPEAKER_18

The end of its turn.

SPEAKER_16

Um that's gonna fail.

SPEAKER_18

It's asleep.

SPEAKER_16

Uh it is asleep.

SPEAKER_18

It's unconscious now.

SPEAKER_16

Uh, very nice.

SPEAKER_18

How long does that last? Um for the duration, which should be a minute. I am concentrating about that, but not a big deal. Okay. Stay back.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

Uh the one in the middle sleeps, uh, and the two on the side are both gonna take slashes with their simtar at Val.

SPEAKER_08

What? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_16

That is a 23 and a natural 20.

SPEAKER_09

What? Well, I'm happy to heal myself those mothers.

SPEAKER_18

Can I see it though? It's up to you, man.

SPEAKER_16

You cannot, because the natural 20 came from the one on the corner here.

SPEAKER_18

Okay, I can't see it, never mind. Frick!

SPEAKER_16

Sorry, love.

SPEAKER_18

What the freak? That's okay.

SPEAKER_16

Um, alright. She healed herself up in here. So that is gonna be uh that's gonna be 3d6 plus 4.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, what does that mean?

SPEAKER_16

And you got seven no, you got I have 17. 17, you get 17. Okay, so it's gonna be close.

SPEAKER_03

Don't be like that. Fat wool. What the fuck was that? It was three d6, baby. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

That's gonna be 18 piercing slashing damage.

SPEAKER_18

Val's down.

SPEAKER_16

Val goes down. Yeah. As a short uh as a simtar slashes across her neck.

unknown

Oh!

SPEAKER_16

Just above her armor, and blood gushes out as she falls to the ground unconscious.

SPEAKER_09

I got you, I got you, gotcha, gotcha. I can't even say please save me.

SPEAKER_16

I will say that becomes no half cover from Joanna's point of view and half cover from Orion's point of view. So cover-wise, that's a benefit.

SPEAKER_18

We can travel her.

SPEAKER_16

It is, it is a well, there's no place for you to stand.

SPEAKER_14

It is a it is obviously not ideal.

SPEAKER_16

But for the rest of this round, it does benefit you combat-wise in some aspects. Uh so that was that was the two. Ike, that'll bring it to you. You have the warg and a sleeping uh goblin within your range.

SPEAKER_06

I'd like to move around the warg so other people can get in.

SPEAKER_16

Perfect. Uh yeah, all the way against the wall there, so I won't take any opportunity attacks. You slide your way around to the corner of this room. I will smack the warg. The war's AC is 13. Yeah, no, I'm not gonna do that. It's gonna miss. Okay. Alright. Any bonus actions? No. Joanna.

SPEAKER_22

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Umst thing I'm going to bonus action healing word crow.

SPEAKER_22

Uh eight back.

SPEAKER_12

Get up. Call the police.

SPEAKER_02

Can you grab me? And boop, boop.

SPEAKER_18

Like your head.

SPEAKER_19

Oh, you're gonna you're gonna defy.

SPEAKER_14

Well, I don't I don't wanna bump us.

SPEAKER_07

You're gonna defy her right after right after Orion said. Yeah, I'm gonna gunny ball the one that's running away. Oh yeah, fucking died.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

No, it's a hit.

unknown

Right. Fuck. Oh.

SPEAKER_07

Twelve?

SPEAKER_16

Oh. Miss.

SPEAKER_07

Whatever.

SPEAKER_17

Maybe we're not strong enough for storming the castle.

SPEAKER_06

Well, going the secret way.

SPEAKER_04

He didn't see me whiff it did. Like she she whiffs it and then looks at Ike to be like, did he see me whiff it?

SPEAKER_16

I think Ike's locked in on this ward, probably.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, thank you. Did you get him, Joanna? Yeah!

SPEAKER_03

Definitely do.

SPEAKER_16

The warg is going to continue going after Ike. It's going to bite. It has advantage.

SPEAKER_18

Why?

SPEAKER_16

Uh, because of its previous bite. What? Uh, that's gonna be a dirty 20. And that's going to be six piercing damage. Okay. Giving itself advantage on the next attack as well. Uh, as it lodges its teeth into you. Um, since your turn has passed, you no longer have that spiky shield up. Um, and that is going to uh you see the warg is actually going to step into the doorway, blocking the path. That should not be a spiny shield should not be a level one spell. Yeah, spiny shield's fucking sick.

SPEAKER_18

That's Humblewood, right? Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah. It's a first level spell. Yeah. But it only ends it it's only like till your next turn, so I don't know. I feel like it should be. I don't know. You feel like it should be a level two? You want to be the cantrip? Yeah. Really? I feel like it's OP for level one. Maybe okay. So if it was a cantrip, I think. Okay. Anything. But yeah, two D4, that's pretty that's that's pretty tough. Yeah. I mean, last time I used it worked really well. It's because I prefaced the attacks with like all three of these things are attacking you for melee range. So I couldn't really retract that. Anyway, Hodge.

SPEAKER_18

Uh I fuck.

SPEAKER_16

Orion, you're on deck.

SPEAKER_18

I don't want to take Orion's space. I feel like Can I see the ward now that it's sitting there or no?

SPEAKER_16

Uh it's got three quarters cover from you.

SPEAKER_18

Doesn't matter. If I can see its fucking toe, a magic missile will sit down. Yeah, 100%. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Hell yeah. Magic missile.

SPEAKER_11

The side of the though!

SPEAKER_18

Uh okay, that's what is it? 3d4 plus 3, is that how that works?

SPEAKER_14

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah. Yep. I need a D4.

SPEAKER_09

Right, right, right, right, wait, wait, wait. Wait, this one's better, I think.

SPEAKER_10

Okay. Why did I throw them all over like this? Ooh, yeah, let me see it.

SPEAKER_05

Oh! Ooh!

SPEAKER_18

Oh shit. Fat? 15 force damage. Damn it. Three fours. Oh. Nah, you're right. I thought it was a one. Three fours? Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_16

I'd max with a good one. Uh I'd like to reward you with a kill, but unfortunately, not quite enough. That is gonna be useful. It is a powerful. Sometimes I don't need a three magic missiles that sink into the you just because the ward stepped forward, you see its shoulder. So you bend these magic missiles around Orion, around Val, and just catch it three times in the shoulder and chest as it whimpers next to Joanna now and Val uh very, very hurt.

SPEAKER_03

That's right, bitch.

SPEAKER_16

Amazing. Uh Orion. He's wounded, take it down!

SPEAKER_16

Immediately, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I missed that. Wait, 20. No. How did she do that?

SPEAKER_16

Joanna did it with magic.

SPEAKER_03

But she used two spell splits. Did you use two spell splits?

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_07

My knighting ball to have a charge of.

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_03

Unfortunately, because I have to be in your gas movie. You didn't step on me. Step on my shoulders. I can hold your hands. Can I cast a spell from her spot?

SPEAKER_16

Step on you. From her spot? No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think that's you're standing. It would be funny if I was.

SPEAKER_16

Technically, you could move into You could do it. You could move next to Joe. You could move into Joanna's spot.

SPEAKER_12

Careful.

SPEAKER_16

You could also move into the adjacent spot here. Yes, you could. Yeah. That's a diagonal move through Val.

SPEAKER_20

That sucks.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_21

That's I mean, I'm glad Val's up.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah. Because it's because this one's unconscious, you can move through that one space. So you could go any of these spots as well.

SPEAKER_18

Um isn't Val technically prone too? Because she was just unconscious? No.

SPEAKER_09

No, I got her. No, I got her out. I'm Oh, actually, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, guys.

I want to slash him into smithereen so that he knows that I'm pissed off for being hurt.

SPEAKER_16

Uh, he knows it for half a second as he dies. What about the rest of them also now? Yeah. Uh you see the other two go, ah, she means business.

SPEAKER_12

That's my business.

SPEAKER_16

Uh, as the ward's head.

SPEAKER_02

What is Linda think?

SPEAKER_16

And you see the rim of the melted part glows. Uh you see it glow for half a second, and you hear her kind of grunt uh in kind of like a painful way for half a second. How's it sound? And you see Yeah, what's it sound like? Uh and then you see you see the glow, it glows for half a second and then flickers out.

Maybe she did, you don't know. She doesn't have a butthole anymore.

SPEAKER_22

Okay.

As the goblin turns around and slashes, catches you right in the ribcage as a massive dash begins to bleed from your torso. Orion's got it. The other one continues to run round the corner. Uh I got this. The uh and then the other one obviously is asleep. Ike. What would you like to do?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. Uh adrenaline rush, bonus action, dash towards the one that ran.

Um portcullis again. But next to you is this very injured goblin. What would you say? What would you like to do? Snapter him. Hopefully.

SPEAKER_16

That is a miss. Okay. You run, you round this corner, you kind of uh are looking around, gauging like the surroundings that you're in and not paying enough attention to this goblin in front of you. Uh you swing and he jumps over your swing, and you your uh your shilleley clatters into the bottom uh kind of leg of this one bed as uh you snap the wood and it kind of falls onto the ground.

SPEAKER_18

Could you get in front of him so he can't go any further? Step on the bed.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_20

Didn't you dash?

SPEAKER_06

It's a bonus action.

SPEAKER_19

I thought it was I thought 55-60. I thought Shilele was just a bonus action to cast it.

SPEAKER_16

It's a bonus action to cast it, but you still have to use an action to use it. Yeah, it lasts.

SPEAKER_18

He has movement and then he dashes a bonus action, so he has the 60.

SPEAKER_06

Dash action? Adrenaline. That's a thing. It's an orc feature. Sorry.

Okay, um, first, I'm going to heal myself. I think when he got hurt, he played it so cool because he didn't want Joanna to heal him. You. He's like partially angry that he moved through the frame. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07

He said, first of all, I'm gonna heal myself a car and goes, any hand game?

SPEAKER_18

Okay, I am going to heal myself.

SPEAKER_03

That's how hard it is. Anywho.

SPEAKER_16

First things first, I'm the healist.

SPEAKER_03

I'm going to heal myself for nine.

SPEAKER_21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Um created. Children get it together. Um he is a little bit angry that Joanna immediately ran into the fray the second he said, I told you to stop doing that. So he played it off really cool that when he got hurt and he heals himself without her noticing. Um then I try and personally. So that was my bonus action. And as my action. I really want to do this, but uh, they haven't con.

SPEAKER_16

Fuck them. They really don't.

SPEAKER_03

It's an action.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Only one action.

SPEAKER_03

Well no, Divine Smite is a bonus action.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah, but you have to do it. It's like in addition to your hair. You could cast it, but then you just wouldn't have to do anything. You wouldn't do anything. That'd make sense.

SPEAKER_08

Okay, well, I'm gonna cry on him.

SPEAKER_03

And hope it hurts now.

SPEAKER_18

It's probably gonna lick it up.

SPEAKER_03

And I hope he gets too much salt in his system that he dehydrates and dies.

SPEAKER_16

Alright. Uh they're going to one is going to shoot an attack into Orion one into Val.

SPEAKER_09

What's the difference?

SPEAKER_16

Both are going to hit.

SPEAKER_21

No.

SPEAKER_16

That is going to be seven slashing into Orion, and that is going to be three slashing into Val.

SPEAKER_05

Both of them very, very hurt.

SPEAKER_16

They're taking the brunt of this damage. Um, and then over to the other room. You're not going anywhere.

SPEAKER_20

The goblin is going to go around.

SPEAKER_16

Uh it's going to hop up onto the bed.

SPEAKER_20

Turn its swag on?

SPEAKER_16

It's gonna hop up on the bed, uh, take a leap, uh, and it's going to try to slash Ike in the jugular. Oh, cool.

SPEAKER_13

Alright.

SPEAKER_16

Uh 16.

SPEAKER_18

Uh should we run all of our spell thoughts on these fucking guys? I know.

SPEAKER_06

He's almost dead, so fuck it. Uh Reaction Spiny Shield. That is sticks, so I will not get hit.

SPEAKER_16

Right.

SPEAKER_18

Reduce his damage.

SPEAKER_06

Reduce it damage your AC. Or no. No, I don't kid you. No, yeah.

SPEAKER_16

You do damage if you reduced it by more than six. Yes. So I will reduce it by five. Okay, so you do not do damage to it, right? Or does it do five?

SPEAKER_18

It deals the same amount of piercing damage as it is. It will take five times.

SPEAKER_16

Oh, it does deal five damage. Okay. Uh you see him hop, hop up on the bed, turn his swag on, uh, and then sl I I know, I'm cop I'm running with that.

SPEAKER_21

I'm not stealing it.

SPEAKER_16

I'm playing off of it. Uh hop up on the bed, he turns the swag swag on, uh trademarked by Lily, um goes to slash, uh, and immediately is met by this spiky wall that he impales himself on. It goes right into his face, and he dies.

SPEAKER_17

Oh great! You got him like stuck to your body.

SPEAKER_16

Two goblins remain. Ike, you are now in this room all by yourself, and it is your turn. Uh, where deliver at? Where deloper at? Or is it poor?

SPEAKER_06

Where deliver at for dead poor cullis?

SPEAKER_16

Uh um. That'd be an investigation to check around or something for my action. You do not. Or do you all need help? I'll come back.

SPEAKER_03

Uh who are you?

SPEAKER_16

You see you see a lever, but the lever kind of winches the bars in place if it were to be up. So it's it's winched in place down. It doesn't seem to it's not like a lever that like you you switch it and it lifts the portcullis. It like locks it in its pla in its current place. What the hell?

SPEAKER_17

Gotta muscle it up with our huge fucking muscles.

SPEAKER_06

Is this how it's meant to be, or like, did they do this to lock it, like a makeshift lock in place?

SPEAKER_16

I would say you'd have to make a check as an action. Um. Can I yeah, can I try and free this lever? Uh so the Or does it look like AV? It'd be easier I'd say it'd be easier to lift the portcullis. Okay. Yeah, I will attempt to do that. Okay.

SPEAKER_13

Hey, que going!

SPEAKER_18

Not very strong.

SPEAKER_13

Okay, I see him.

SPEAKER_18

I know. But he did run down a hallway and uh what do I need to make?

SPEAKER_16

Uh the it would be an athletics of twenty.

SPEAKER_18

You got it.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I have to get a natural twenty.

SPEAKER_18

Damn that. Oh, then you can't succeed.

SPEAKER_16

Nope. Okay. Uh you try your best to lift it, uh, but you can not. Um I will then take But as as you do get up to the porkellus, you can see as you're lift as you're trying to lift it, you do see inside into this circular uh kind of rotunda, this massive, magnificence magnificent circular library. Uh you see thousands of books uh and you hear uh a couple more goblins in this room. Back into our doorway combat Joanna. What would you like to do? No. You have two goblins. Uh one of them uh is very hurt, the other one is unharmed. No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_06

Can I say that I dashed or no?

SPEAKER_16

Well, you already used an action. So you use some of your movement to get here.

SPEAKER_18

You can stay there, so don't go any further.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, don't go into the Coliseum up there.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, I can't even open it.

SPEAKER_18

Turn to a snake and go through the bars.

SPEAKER_21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

The boars.

SPEAKER_06

Turn into a rat.

SPEAKER_13

Um rat at the bars.

SPEAKER_02

Um, I said not the book on the table. You decide on that bad.

SPEAKER_03

Hopefully. Um, con 13 for both of you. The Italian band who went to a Malta on YouTube. Oh, today I went to a malta. And then he was like, he was like, Yeah.

SPEAKER_21

I had the waitress for a book on the table. He said, You will not fuck on the table, you son of a bitch. And then I said, I want the sheath on the bed.

SPEAKER_03

He said, You will not sheath on the bed, you son of a bitch.

SPEAKER_21

Alright, you start saying, Alright.

SPEAKER_16

Let me reiterate. So, Ike, uh, you try to lift the porcullis. You are not quite strong enough to do it. Uh, but you do see as you are up next to the porcullis, uh that sounds gonna be crazy. Uh you do see as you're up next to the porcullis that there is a closed door past in this hallway. Um, yeah, but I was reiterating something for it to go. Uh Joanna.

SPEAKER_22

Yeah, uh for which one?

SPEAKER_16

Okay. The more hurt one succeeds. The unharmed one fails.

SPEAKER_18

What do you want to follow radiant? Is that true?

SPEAKER_22

Two radiant damage. Clarence also have it.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Uh doesn't obviously it doesn't do much.

SPEAKER_14

Well, uh just say it like that.

SPEAKER_16

Hot.

SPEAKER_18

I will frog. Enough. I'm gonna attempt to do fire bolt.

SPEAKER_16

Which one? You've got one that's that just took two damage. Okay. That one is m less hurt.

SPEAKER_18

Cool. Twenty one. That'll hit. Please be high.

SPEAKER_13

Ah One fire damage! Woo!

SPEAKER_16

A battle of attrition. Orion battle on death.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_03

More hurt. More hurt. Please. Thank you. Gaddy, gotta get it. Slate 20.

SPEAKER_14

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Slip. Slip. Four. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

How do you want to do this?

SPEAKER_03

I stab him in his kidney as I heal myself.

SPEAKER_21

In my kidney.

SPEAKER_03

Nine.

SPEAKER_16

Val. Um there is one goblin left.

SPEAKER_03

Get him.

SPEAKER_08

I love Linda that jone.

SPEAKER_16

Linda that jone.

SPEAKER_17

Linda.

SPEAKER_08

Oh no. Oh, maybe not. How does the nine feel? Did you do it again?

SPEAKER_16

Nine feels like it's gonna miss.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, but doesn't she have advantage because she found?

SPEAKER_16

Oh, yeah. You know what? You make a really bad point.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. I make a really good point. I've been told that once or twice.

SPEAKER_16

You didn't even make a point.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but I agree with her, so that's my point.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, she's making she's in the help action.

SPEAKER_21

Yeah. But I feel like it's helping.

SPEAKER_16

Um Goblin Goblin C is going to turn to Val and miss with his simtar. Uh and then he's going to use his Nimble Escape to run down the hallway.

SPEAKER_04

Does that give him like no opportunities?

SPEAKER_16

Oh.

SPEAKER_04

I stab him.

SPEAKER_16

Nimble Escape uh does not take his accent disengage. Uh he runs through. His only hope is to run uh into the cave of the bear. Uh so he does just that. He hops over some rubble and he's screaming as he runs through, realizing uh he is all alone.

SPEAKER_22

They're angry.

SPEAKER_16

The input is uh his girlfriend's on something's a man. Um technically you are out of combat now. We hear mauling sounds from the top. Uh it hasn't been long enough for him to reach the bear yet.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, but give us a second.

SPEAKER_16

So, Ike, you are up. Uh, but if we want to be out of combat, if nobody wants to chase after this goblin, we can be out of combat and you guys can move up into the adjacent room. I believe the bear will take care of that one. Correct. Uh you guys move up. Um as you move up, you hear uh the goblins scream and being uh smack, you hear a loud smack, and then he smacks against the wall, uh, and then you hear silence. As you are m maneuvering to this second room, the barracks. You see Ike uh attempting to lift this porcullis. Uh anyone else can certainly need your help.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, I'm gonna go up there.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

Uh make an athletic check at advantage. The DC here is 20. Ike likes to think that he's physically strong, but he's not.

SPEAKER_22

I'll tap Ballon give a guy and say the D4 is a good thing.

SPEAKER_06

Yep. Druids, baby.

SPEAKER_16

He's wiry.

SPEAKER_06

I'm on a farm. I'm built for a farm. I'm not built for this yet.

SPEAKER_16

You gotta be strong to be on a farm.

SPEAKER_06

Well, yeah, he's strong in that sense, but he can't handle a weapon or shit.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Lifting things is a pretty important flavorful strength.

SPEAKER_09

No. What was that? Sixteen.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you see Val summon up all her strength magically and with the help of Ike. And the portcullis does not. Budge.

SPEAKER_05

Those bitches.

SPEAKER_16

Do you have some kind of uh unlocking spell?

SPEAKER_06

I I don't know.

SPEAKER_18

No. I do not, unfortunately.

SPEAKER_06

I'm gonna start looking in these like tr you said there was trunks in the what did you say other than the beds were in here?

SPEAKER_16

Uh there are uh yeah, at the foot of each bed are these little storage lockers. I wanna see if there's keys in there. Nothing. Lock. Totally empty. Abandoned.

SPEAKER_04

Did you already look for a lever?

SPEAKER_06

Well the lever is here and it's holding the door in place. I can't seem to get it. I don't see one on the other side.

SPEAKER_18

Um we can or we cannot see through this pork collis right now.

SPEAKER_16

You can, and on the other side you see a door.

SPEAKER_18

But there's not any sort of lever on the other side of the pork collis that would indicate that we could raise it up with that.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you can make a perception check if you like. Anyone can.

SPEAKER_19

I'll help you. What are we? Ooh.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_19

I don't help you.

SPEAKER_18

Um, Joanna, could I have a little divine guidance, please, if you don't mind. Perception, you said?

SPEAKER_04

Well, I can do that as well. Perception? Perce.

SPEAKER_18

I'm actually uh not great at it.

SPEAKER_02

18? I got a 15 as well.

SPEAKER_16

Perhaps you should guide yourself.

SPEAKER_04

I can guide myself if you'd like.

SPEAKER_16

Is that an 18?

SPEAKER_04

You said um 21, actually.

SPEAKER_16

21? Uh you look through and you see on the other side of this porcullis, there is a kind of crank uh to one of the walls. You cannot, you definitely could not reach through your arm and uh hand crank this.

SPEAKER_03

You can't reach through and crank it.

SPEAKER_18

Could buy mindless, shapeless, your formless pass through. The unseen servant can absolutely go through. Give him a knife and operate this. Give him a stabby bomb or rocks to throw. Hey guys, watch this.

SPEAKER_16

Uh Unseen Servant uh moves through made it really delayed for our listeners.

SPEAKER_04

And you hear a watch that look and do it again.

SPEAKER_16

As the pork cullis raises slowly.

SPEAKER_18

That's not true.

SPEAKER_16

There's an original leading the way to the door.

SPEAKER_06

Now I hope there isn't any more goblins. But allows us. Let me uh let me listen at the door here, make sure we're clear.

SPEAKER_16

Uh make another perception check for me. Thirteen. You hear on the inside uh a couple different uh kind of footsteps, and then one goblin voice, but a bit deeper than you're used to, saying hurry up! I'm getting cold and nothing drives off the chill like a nice big bonfire.

SPEAKER_03

Barbosa or not Barbosa, uh Tortuga!

SPEAKER_18

Big fan! Big fan! Jack Sparrow.

SPEAKER_03

Who are you talking about? I'm gonna say Barbosa.

SPEAKER_16

Oh, anyway, you hear a couple goblins on the other side. One of them, uh, with a bit of a deeper voice than you're used to. Okay. Also be the leader in there. Giving commands.

SPEAKER_18

Perhaps we should muster our strength, whatever if it remains.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

We can rest here for an hour, but I fear that they will not remain idle on the other side of that door.

SPEAKER_06

Uh they might be searching for the same thing that we are searching for.

SPEAKER_18

Certainly, there's no other way out of here unless you go past the bear, which I'm not sure, I guess. We can risk getting interrupted in the middle of a rest or push onward. How are we all feeling in terms of our health? I'm uninjured.

SPEAKER_03

I feel okay. I could use some healing, but I can heal myself.

SPEAKER_18

Yes. What do you what do you add?

SPEAKER_03

I can add five, so are we on spell slots?

SPEAKER_18

I have one. And I could get one back on a short rest.

SPEAKER_09

If I heal myself, I don't have none, though.

SPEAKER_04

I have none.

SPEAKER_18

Yes, but you can't get anything back on a short rest, so it doesn't really matter. I don't really think we can long rest while they're here.

SPEAKER_09

We certainly can.

SPEAKER_06

I don't want to lose a lot of time to lose what they are ransacking.

SPEAKER_04

You know, try not to get hit too bad.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

If we instead of guns blazing and perhaps ambush them, I could maybe use my last bit of magic to put them to sleep again.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Would be ideal. It's not a sure thing. But again, that or my servant opens the door, we lure them in here, and we spring an ambush on them. Attacking them in there may not be the wisest choice.

SPEAKER_01

I cannot imagine that there are only goblins in there.

SPEAKER_18

If we lure them into this room and we all are at the ready, we could perhaps take one or two of them out almost instantaneously. That could work. If we channel them into our space instead of trying to again, we saw what happened at the entrance there. We were jammed. We jammed them. That's my feeling. I could even make the sounds of their comrades dying. I remember them well.

SPEAKER_03

I was going to say, because you used a good idea.

SPEAKER_18

Mimic their voices. Yes. Um Becca. She just went. Yeah, because we like dead bitches. Tuck into the corners here in this room and like try to like hide against the walls, like someone in the hallway, two people on the bed.

SPEAKER_06

Oh!

SPEAKER_18

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

So we could do me on this bed, Val on that bed. And when they come through, Val and I can each.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_03

And I can stay in the shadows back here. I like that a lot. Yes.

SPEAKER_18

I don't know if you want to be in front of me or behind me. So I can still see into there really well. That's fine. I like this positioning.

SPEAKER_06

Okay. Maybe you can. So then when they come in, we can uh Val and I will have ready to action. Under the covers.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. I just pop out. I know that's what my sister wants. It scared the shit out of her.

SPEAKER_16

I will snuff the torches with a bit of druid crap. And you're sending your unseen servant to open this door?

SPEAKER_18

Um I think so. I actually maybe like to be here so I can just see up the hallway a little bit. Yeah. I will well, I can have my servant open the door, which would c arouse suspicion or create the sounds of distress.

SPEAKER_06

I think the sounds of distress to initiate.

SPEAKER_18

Yes. If I open the door, they will be on edge.

SPEAKER_06

They would be very suspicious, yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Hey. Dallas.

SPEAKER_03

Who are you talking to? What's that name again?

SPEAKER_18

Who the fuck is that? I'm anxious. Um I would like healing up before you do this? Yeah. Does anyone want to do anything else before we go?

SPEAKER_21

I literally can't.

SPEAKER_18

Can you use a healing kit or something like that? Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Uh I have a verbalism kit. It'd take a while to make a healing potion.

SPEAKER_17

Oh god, is gonna make a quick salve?

SPEAKER_06

Create a potion of healing over the course of the day. Yeah. Uh let's fucking do it. Yeah, and a healer is kidding, like get an unconscious creature back up. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I can spare the the literally the only thing that I can do is spare the dynamic, and if you go down, I can make you stable, but I cannot heal you.

SPEAKER_18

Okay. Yeah. I want to make a really loud sound of I think a goblin screaming for reinforcements. Like the voice of a goblin screaming. They're at the door. Come help!

SPEAKER_06

Okay, Marge Simpson, okay.

SPEAKER_12

Howie! Howie! Howie, they're at the door!

SPEAKER_16

Okay, amazing. Uh, and you're having you're having the unseen servant open the door or no? No, no. Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Hopefully they'll just come to us and then if we all want to hold something.

SPEAKER_16

Hold my action to the ass. I'm assuming everyone's holding an action for the first goblin to come into room.

SPEAKER_18

I will not hold an action. I will I guess I'll hold a fire. That's just a natural thing.

SPEAKER_16

In case they don't die from the initial attack. I don't know if I want to just like wait.

SPEAKER_18

Will that waste my turn if it comes around through initiative then? No. He pulled out the big mini.

SPEAKER_02

What is that?

SPEAKER_01

Put that back. What is that? Seem to have remembered me saying, I can't imagine there's only goblins in there. Whoa!

SPEAKER_16

That's a lot.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Uh you summon the sound of these goblins.

unknown

Ha! Help! Help!

SPEAKER_12

They've gotten through the door!

SPEAKER_16

Uh, and you hear uh Ike and Val hear through the door, this deeper voiced goblin, uh, go you! Go check that out. You follow him close by. The other two of you stay with me. Uh, and then and then you see one of the goblins bust through the door um and then kind of sees it's totally dark, uh, without any caution, just rushes into the room, and he was going to take first Ike and Val's ready deck.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, bitch. Okay. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_12

Because they expect their own. Yeah, because you are hidden. Thank God, I've been going like shit.

SPEAKER_16

You are hidden, and you also kind of have the high ground. Let's go. It went to the bottom.

SPEAKER_03

Let me tell you, in the first episode, I didn't pick it up.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, max damage for 11.

SPEAKER_16

Okay, Val. Excuse me. You're about to swing. You're about to swing, and you see uh Ike just fucking knocks this guy out immediately. Like a nail into wood.

SPEAKER_09

It fucking wrecked.

SPEAKER_16

Uh his body crumbles and falls to the ground. Oh, that instantly killed him. I kicked him back. Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_03

I kick him like 10 feet back so others can come through.

SPEAKER_16

Uh so Val.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, come on.

SPEAKER_16

The door's still being open. The only one that would have an attack at the one behind is Orion, who's positioned himself directly in line with the hallway. And they can't see because the lights are out.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah. 18. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

That'll hit.

SPEAKER_20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

You look like a million bucks.

SPEAKER_05

What? What the hell am I doing?

SPEAKER_16

And O'Rion, from here, uh you do obviously you see the door open, you do, you see the door swing open, you see Ike smack this guy into uh obliteration, and then you see another goblin sprinting through the hallway. Behind him, you see two goblins in this massive, rotund library uh to either side, and then in the center, uh right next to a bonfire, is a heavily armored, slightly bigger goblin. Your shot hits this first one. Five. Five damage.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. That was with advantage. Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Uh and you see this the arrow lodges into the sternum of this goblin as he as he kind of stumbles for a second.

SPEAKER_12

No, they've gotten through.

SPEAKER_16

Shut the door! Uh, and you see the goblin reacts quickly, slams the door as he moves back. Uh and so you know that there is one bloody goblin that just got shot. Orion, you were able to see two others uh of the normal goblins and then the one boss in the center uh next to a bonfire. Cool. What would you like to do? Um we are out of initiative currently because the door has been slammed.

SPEAKER_18

Can I uh have my unseen server attempt to open the door really quickly to give Orion another shot? Oh, yeah. He's technically still over there because he's gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_19

And I'm out of combat.

SPEAKER_21

Go for it.

SPEAKER_18

Okay, I mean he does it.

SPEAKER_16

Not lucked. All right.

SPEAKER_19

Advantages?

SPEAKER_16

Yeah. Uh fire shot. I would say not an advantage this time because they are expecting it.

SPEAKER_01

I rolled two dice and I got an at 20.

SPEAKER_16

You roll one. Oh tough. Right to the dice, guys.

unknown

No!

SPEAKER_16

Six! No!

SPEAKER_21

Uh, you see the unseen serpent? I should alive.

SPEAKER_16

The goblin, the goblin slams the door, the unseen serpent acts very quickly, tries to yank the door open, the goblin still kind of hanging on to it, uh, kind of pulls back and shuts the door just enough so that the arrow Does it fly past that one and hit the boss? No, it slams into the door uh as the goblin uh closes it just enough. Uh it is halfway open as the unseen servant is kind of holding onto it. The goblin, and then you see the goblin kind of run away uh back further into cover.

SPEAKER_19

What a shame.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_19

What a waste of a gnaty.

SPEAKER_16

Uh so the unseen servant, you can have him open the door fully again, or you can uh have him uh do whatever. I we will stay in combat here, so I will have initiative now.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Well without the power.

SPEAKER_16

Well, you guys didn't roll initiative for this battle.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, yo now 20 baby!

SPEAKER_16

Nice.

SPEAKER_03

Yup, yup, yup. Uh I just I just rolled a battle 21.

SPEAKER_01

On this one.

SPEAKER_03

Hell yeah. We're gonna kill that bitch.

SPEAKER_16

Why can't I be a halfling right now? Uh, what was the total, Val?

SPEAKER_03

Uh I have a plus zero, so it is just some initiative.

SPEAKER_16

Ike three. That's what the goblins got.

SPEAKER_05

Nice!

SPEAKER_16

Joanna?

SPEAKER_05

Seven.

SPEAKER_16

Hodge. 23. Jesus! Orion's 21.

SPEAKER_05

My bell. My bells. My bell jingles.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Uh, we're gonna start this combat with Hodge.

SPEAKER_21

Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_16

I'm going to. On a Nat 20, Val is third. Yeah, explain.

unknown

Fuck.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I'm not good at that. Fuck. Who's second? What the fuck?

SPEAKER_16

O'Rion got a 21.

SPEAKER_03

Uh well, it's okay. He's stealthy. He's in all black. It makes sense.

SPEAKER_20

He's also uh mysterious.

SPEAKER_03

Wait, I had mysterious presence on.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Could I have gotten advantage on that?

SPEAKER_16

What is mysterious presence do? That's a good question.

SPEAKER_18

Well, it's a really good question.

SPEAKER_03

They subtract a D4 from any wisdom checks to make to find me.

SPEAKER_16

Oh, no, that has nothing to do with pizza too.

SPEAKER_03

It's always worth asking.

SPEAKER_16

You did not get advantage because you were no they were expecting you at that point.

SPEAKER_03

You said they're expecting him specifically.

SPEAKER_16

They were expecting an arrow. They were expecting an arrow to fly through the hallway.

SPEAKER_18

An arrow. I'm gonna tell everyone, I'm gonna move forward. How far one second check?

SPEAKER_19

How long have you been with her?

SPEAKER_18

Every time. I'm gonna stand in the doorway and have my unseen servant attempt to open the door again as a bonus action.

SPEAKER_16

Alright, yeah, absolutely can. Yep. Yeah, you see the goblin boss in the center of the room lit by this bonfire, uh, and then you see three of them kind of scattered around the room, kind of hiding in cover.

SPEAKER_18

Pocket sand springing, yeah, it's pocket sand across my face. I try to put that motherfucker to sleep.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Rush him!

SPEAKER_16

What is the save on that again? Who's in that wisdom?

SPEAKER_10

Do the front. I wanna see it. I'm gonna shit my pants.

SPEAKER_01

Fifteen.

SPEAKER_18

He does not go to sleep. And that is my lash spells latched for. He does run!

SPEAKER_16

You see, he kind of wobbles for a second, and then you hear one of them shout, Boss! Don't succumb!

SPEAKER_10

And he goes, Don't succumb.

SPEAKER_05

Don't come, boss. Okay.

SPEAKER_16

Uh Hodge, you tuck back into the room in the cover. Orion. Valendeck.

SPEAKER_03

They don't see you here. I'm gonna shoot him. Yes. And uh.

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_21

Slutty twenty.

SPEAKER_16

Miss.

SPEAKER_21

What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_16

He's heavily armored. He's heavily armored.

SPEAKER_21

Bitch? For whom the dice? I'm running for my life.

SPEAKER_18

You can't get through us as two of us.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you see it def deflects off his armor.

SPEAKER_20

I refuse.

SPEAKER_16

A spark flickers on its armor on its shoulder and he laughs at you.

SPEAKER_19

Damn. Okay, um, Orion sees that happen and he just says, we should run.

SPEAKER_16

Val, you are up.

SPEAKER_18

You can smite on a ranged attack, can't you?

SPEAKER_09

I it's a melee for a smite, as far as I know.

SPEAKER_02

I'm scared. It'd be fine, it'll be fine.

SPEAKER_18

Oh. Good idea, baby.

SPEAKER_02

I know.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, you'd take all four of their attacks. Pretty much. If you ran in there alone.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I don't have enough hit points. Hold on, un momento, porfe four. Are any of them jumps injured? Slash, which ones are?

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, the one was hit for five damage. Uh no, the one he he ran, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_09

For tool of dead, do we have to see them jump on?

SPEAKER_16

I believe so.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, you can see, okay. Yes, you'd have to move up. Yes.

SPEAKER_16

You can see him from there.

SPEAKER_09

I'm gonna hit that ball.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. The save is a wisdom 14. 10. That'd be dope. That'll be a D12 because he is hurt.

SPEAKER_09

He ain't got no brains.

SPEAKER_16

The bells, the bells are ringing.

SPEAKER_08

It is simply a three.

SPEAKER_16

Not quite enough to kill him.

SPEAKER_09

And okay, back where they can't necessarily start.

SPEAKER_16

Uh Val runs up to the doorway, reaches in, shoots a toll of dead, almost kills the bloodied goblin, uh, and then hustles back in to some cover.

SPEAKER_09

Just wait till I'm not level two.

SPEAKER_16

As as you are retreating back into this hallway, you see the goblin boss take his bow out. No! And fire. The first attack is going to miss with a nine.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_16

The second attack.

SPEAKER_01

You need to run.

SPEAKER_16

It's going to miss with a 14.

SPEAKER_21

That's right, bitch!

SPEAKER_16

You see two arrows go on either side of your head and stick into the wall right next to Orion on the far side of the barracks as you manage to dodge out of the way. Joanna.

SPEAKER_18

And then I told you.

SPEAKER_16

How strong do we think this guy is?

SPEAKER_18

He has a 21 AC.

SPEAKER_06

Well, AC, yeah, but I'm I'm like, score.

SPEAKER_18

He's probably very strong.

SPEAKER_06

Might do a wolf then so I can get him from.

SPEAKER_16

Oh my god. What? Okay. I read his hit points as his AC. So Orion, please roll that damage for me. Brother!

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_16

I apologize. I just saw it. I had to retcon before we got too crazy. Okay. Jesus. Alright, we'll do it. We got this. Okay, but AC is 17. I'm very, very sorry.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. So the the boss has been hit?

SPEAKER_16

The boss has been hit. I feel a lot better about it. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Then uh wisdom 13.

SPEAKER_18

20 AC is 20. What a great is it level two?

unknown

Sorry.

SPEAKER_16

Uh what was the save?

SPEAKER_05

13.

SPEAKER_16

That is a 15.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, the bitch. Oh.

SPEAKER_03

Fuck you. Fuck you. Whatever. Okay. That's some language.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you see all three of the goblins fall into line, and they're all gonna take shots at Val being in the hallway.

SPEAKER_18

Uh well, if they're in line, doesn't Val get half cover? Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Uh they're gonna like do it individually. Yeah. It's just different ways.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, so I cast move.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah, yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_03

I'm choreographed. I cast a fucking.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, we did! Oh!

SPEAKER_16

You got this.

SPEAKER_04

I didn't expect anything.

SPEAKER_16

16 misses. 19 hits. And a 21 hit.

SPEAKER_18

We're gonna have to drag Val out of this hallway.

SPEAKER_16

Uh it's gonna be 2d6 plus 4 for the b for both of the hits.

SPEAKER_21

Alright, let's see.

SPEAKER_16

Uh you have 10 damage. It could absolutely not. It could be low. Exactly 10.

SPEAKER_09

No! I'm at zero, baby!

SPEAKER_16

Val goes down in the middle of the hallway.

SPEAKER_05

As two arrows sink into her.

SPEAKER_06

Has it been ten minutes since I spoke to the bear.

SPEAKER_16

No. I would say it's probably been five. If that. Combat combat happens so quickly.

SPEAKER_06

I'm thinking I could promise him a hefty meal if he comes out here.

SPEAKER_19

He also hates us.

SPEAKER_16

It would be a disadvantage. You already did fail negotiations. I did. But the it would be, I would I'll tell you straight up, it would be an animal handling 13 at disadvantage. And you would have to get there first and then get back.

SPEAKER_18

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Is it a free action or is it like an action to do it?

SPEAKER_16

It would be an action to do it. So you could dash until you get there and then use an action.

SPEAKER_19

I think it would be more useful to get there.

SPEAKER_16

So it's that's probably at least three turns to get him back. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Could you turn into one?

SPEAKER_16

Not yet.

SPEAKER_01

Damn. Level three again.

SPEAKER_06

I am going to move about five fifteen. Twenty feet. I'm going to change into a wolf. Wild shape into a wolf. Move the rest of my get the rest of my movement to the goblin boss and attempt to bite him so he will go prone.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. If I hit, he is automatically prone. Yep. AC is 17, not 21. Sorry about that again.

SPEAKER_14

Yes!

SPEAKER_16

Alright, so that'll hit for uh twenty three. Twenty-three hits. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but it gets him prone.

SPEAKER_10

Any healing potions in the chicken?

SPEAKER_19

I I can heal Val.

SPEAKER_06

Uh so that's five piercing damage, and he is prone.

SPEAKER_18

I have stone giant toenails.

SPEAKER_19

Luckily for you guys, I forgot to trigger a long rest. I was like racking my brain. I was like, I've used one stone this whole time.

SPEAKER_16

He is now after that ten damage. He is not bloody, but pretty hurt. Okay. And now prone. If we kill the boss, the rest will scatter. Says the wolf. Says the says white. A wolf? A woo. Ike, is that your turn? Uh, it is. That'll bring it to Hodge with Orion and Val on deck.

SPEAKER_18

Keep moving. Drag Val.

SPEAKER_06

You said it can lift 10 pounds?

SPEAKER_18

It has a strength score of something, which is not a lot.

SPEAKER_19

If I heal her on my turn, though, she'll get back up and can run back into the prey.

SPEAKER_18

Simple tasks that a human can do, fishing things. Undercut. There's a 10- oh, AC of 10, one hit point, and a strength of two. Strength of two. What does that mean though?

SPEAKER_16

There's a dra there's like a strength. Drag strength.

SPEAKER_18

30 times your strength score. You can drag, I think. So 60, so no. Uh okay, cool. Fuck you, Unseen Servant, you're useless. I remember everything. Save me. I would be at disadvantage. I will.

SPEAKER_21

Uh MINSLIME!

SPEAKER_16

Wisdom. Well, that counts as roll.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it does.

SPEAKER_16

Wisdom, right? Or intelligence?

SPEAKER_18

Intelligence save.

SPEAKER_16

16. No, it doesn't count as a role you dropped it. Roll again, bitch.

SPEAKER_21

No, that's counting. Yeah, fucking roll.

SPEAKER_16

Fifteen.

SPEAKER_03

Well, it's don't want last. It's five now. Do it a third time.

SPEAKER_18

SPEAKER_16

Another hallway battle arrive. Val on deck.

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_16

Nice.

SPEAKER_03

Out of the wall.

SPEAKER_20

I'm gonna walk five, ten, fifteen, twenty.

SPEAKER_03

On my way, I'm gonna uh heal Val.

SPEAKER_16

Nice. For how much?

SPEAKER_03

35.

SPEAKER_19

I'm gonna find out in one second.

SPEAKER_03

Nine. Hell yeah!

SPEAKER_16

SPEAKER_03

And I'm going to shoot the bloody one.

SPEAKER_16

Disadvantage. You're within melee of another.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I didn't see him. Pretend I'm here. I didn't see that guy. 22. Seven.

SPEAKER_10

He's done so.

SPEAKER_16

Bloody one, absolutely seven is going to kill him.

SPEAKER_07

With his boss's arrow, bitch.

SPEAKER_16

Amazing. That is two goblins dead, two still alive, plus the boss who is prone in the middle of the floor. Val. Newly back up. You've got to use half your movements, stand up.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_16

So you got 15 left. Yeah, you can get one of the 15.

SPEAKER_09

They're both within five feet of rank.

SPEAKER_16

Correct.

SPEAKER_09

So I'm uh attack them dogs or attack one of them, and I have a neither have been hit yet, so it doesn't really make much of a difference. I have a perforating shot that goes five feet away from me, so both of them should get it, correct?

SPEAKER_16

If they were positioned adjacent to each other. Like this, it would extend five extra feet.

SPEAKER_09

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_16

It is not, it is not like that.

SPEAKER_09

It's not like a rain, yeah. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_16

It's like you jam your sword and your sword gets five extra feet.

SPEAKER_09

Gotcha. Okay, cool. That's good to know.

SPEAKER_18

Um if you smite one of them, you might be able to instant kill.

SPEAKER_03

That's the plan.

SPEAKER_18

Or you could command the big fucker.

SPEAKER_06

Don't worry about it. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

It's a it's happening. It's a thing. It's a thing.

SPEAKER_06

The next time I roll because I'm doing this, I'm gonna get an ash point.

SPEAKER_03

I'm like, I don't understand what's going on. I just know that I'm extra angry and that guy exploded, and I feel that it's right.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah. Uh one goblin warrior remaining and the boss who is still prone. Uh the boss is going to use its movement to stand up and attack Ike. It's going to switch to its simtar. A fifteen and a nine.

SPEAKER_06

The nine will not hit, but because I am a wolf, my AC is twelve.

SPEAKER_16

Uh, it is going to do four slashing damage to you, Ike. Okay.

SPEAKER_06

What is so goddamn funny?

SPEAKER_21

I went to send a picture of him like that to the group, and I remembered that I took a screenshot of SpongeBob with the fan stop.

SPEAKER_16

So, uh the goblin boss uh stands up from its prone, uh slashes Ike with one of its attacks, misses with the other, uh, and kind of scoots around uh to meet up with its remaining goblin compatriot, Joanna.

SPEAKER_03

How much did he get you for?

SPEAKER_06

Oh no smite.

SPEAKER_09

Oh shit, I should smite myself.

SPEAKER_16

Don't do it yet. Don't do it yet. Don't do it yet.

And Linda will be very pleased with you.

SPEAKER_16

You hear Linda go. And again, it flickers and then it glows and then flickers out.

SPEAKER_10

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

Um is now gonna share that little tidbit of Linda's personality with us. Linda's moaning.

SPEAKER_09

Did we hear that? I will tell everybody after I am positive that nobody else is going to attack us. That Linda very much enjoys killing. The boss. Bloodthirsty. Linda is bloodthirsty. Not for y'all. Perhaps she needs for assholes.

SPEAKER_16

Perhaps she needs to be able to do that. You are now inside this magnificent circular library that is filled with thousands of books, including one displayed in a glass case. A balcony, even with the upper level, you see kind of a round staircase along the side leading up to a balcony. Descends to the library floor by way of a handsome staircase.

SPEAKER_05

Handsome staircase.

SPEAKER_16

You see, this bonfire in the middle of the room is made up of many of the books that these goblins had tossed into the fire.

SPEAKER_18

I fucking knew it too when I heard Fortnite.

SPEAKER_02

I'm sorry. My favorite book I read in high school anyway.

SPEAKER_18

I'm sorry.

unknown

Welcome, welcome.

SPEAKER_12

Put it out quickly! Put it out, you fools, put it out!

SPEAKER_16

Uh I will put it out with Druidcraft. Nice. Snuff's Flame. Yeah. Awesome. Uh the books. You managed to save some that were on kind of the edges that had not uh encountered flame as of yet. Uh, but many books did succumb to the flames. And there are still thousands of books on the shelves that they did not reach. Um one in a glass case. Yes. I would assume, Hodge, your your eyes are drawn to that immediately.

SPEAKER_18

I'll check that one out first and then. Uh do we have like a week to spend here?

SPEAKER_16

The uh you look in this glass case and it looks like a spell book.

unknown

Oh man.

SPEAKER_18

Uh can I check to see if this is like sniffing over the cake. Is it like it for traps?

SPEAKER_16

Make an investigation or a perception.

SPEAKER_18

I'll take my time to make a woman.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_18

Uh I don't want to be the one checking for traps, but I'll ask you.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, do you want me to do a perception?

SPEAKER_18

Please, yes, check for physical traps. I will check for the magical kind, and I will take 10 minutes to cast. What is that, flight of hand? Uh yes.

SPEAKER_16

No. Well, that would be to yeah, you would use your thieves tools to disarm a trap, but to check for traps, it would be a perception check.

SPEAKER_09

Well. Can we help at all? How can I check advantage? You're making advantage?

SPEAKER_16

Uh there are no traps. It's just a glass case. Uh and inside, uh, if you want to make yeah, uh inside you find it up and enduring spell book. Uh you touch its uh its uh kind of leather bound uh and its pages. Uh these this book cannot be damaged by fire or immersion in water and does not deteriorate with age.

unknown

Whoa.

SPEAKER_18

Very nice.

SPEAKER_16

This is an enduring spellbook. There are no spells written on its pages, however. Uh, but it is very nice. Absolutely, I mean, you you certainly don't have to switch to this as as your main spell book, but having something that is kind of immune to uh this as a backup, yeah. Certainly Sullivan Krace could have uh benefited from a backup spell book. So uh having having something that you can store in a f in fire or underwater or anywhere uh is certainly awesome. Uh this place.

SPEAKER_18

Fantastic. Um I will be keeping this.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

But we also need to find the Nathla.

SPEAKER_06

Has got to be heavily hidden.

SPEAKER_14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_18

I believe this is the main structure of this spire that we had entered, so everyone I suppose get looking.

SPEAKER_05

Take a look, yes.

SPEAKER_18

Absolutely, yes. The sooner we are out of here, unfortunately, the better. I assume these men were sent here with a purpose by another. And do we recognize what any of these guys are wearing as any of the clothing we would have seen?

SPEAKER_16

They looks like typical goblin attire. No. Fuck. Uh, but you do you do remember seeing medium-sized footprints around the outside. Yeah. So possibly deeper into this area. The elite guy is probably hiding somewhere in here. Um but the goblins clearly were guarding like the main entrance and this um this rotund library. So, uh, does anyone want to look at the books? Uh there are, so there are um, there is a doorway. Uh I mean you guys can see the map, but just for our listeners, uh, there is a doorway to the north leading further. And then if anyone as soon as anyone were to step uh up uh to the upper level, um you would see a couple more doors uh sorry, uh down to the lower level, you would see a couple more doors, uh three to be exact, leading uh to the north, the east, and the south. Um if you I mean, so there's the kind of four four ways to go from here, essentially. I'll show you this is oh this is this is the other map. So uh this is um the lower level with three doors, uh, and then this is the upper level uh that has kind of one other further corridor.

SPEAKER_18

I'd like to check in this level.

SPEAKER_16

Uh but if anyone wants to look at any of the books in this library, you're more than welcome to. But I'd like to take a gather.

SPEAKER_03

For sure, for sure, I agree.

SPEAKER_18

Um can I look for a specific book about one that I think may be in this library that I've researched or read about.

SPEAKER_16

Sure, yeah.

SPEAKER_18

Right.

SPEAKER_16

Uh which in particular are you looking for?

SPEAKER_18

It's a book about experiments. It's called Experiments with Contra Constructs and Simulacra.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_18

I'm looking for it.

SPEAKER_16

Uh make an investigation check for me.

SPEAKER_18

SPEAKER_10

Yes. Oh. I think investigation, so I probably have a plus six. My phone is dead. Yes. I have a nineteen.

SPEAKER_16

You do find it. In addition to an Orion, uh, you find twelve other notable books that kind of pique your interest, but this one obviously uh is more uh notable to you because you are searching for it specifically.

SPEAKER_10

I've been searching for this book for a long time.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_06

Hart, would you help me look for uh a book that teaches high or fish so I can learn it?

SPEAKER_10

Yes. Of course, I'll help as much as I can.

The Dewey Decimal System. I'll teach it to you sometime. Even better. Over 20. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Okay. Uh you find a book entitled The Lost Language of the Green Folk. Whoa. Ooh.

SPEAKER_05

That seems a little outdated.

SPEAKER_06

That's a good idea. A little outdated, but it's fine.

SPEAKER_05

Uh counts as age.

SPEAKER_16

Great. I'll take that. Awesome. So you find a book on High Orcus, you find the book that you've sought after. Orion and uh I'm assuming Val and Joanna are probably taking a look around a little bit as well.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, is there anything on my guide?

SPEAKER_16

Uh The notable books that you guys find are Famous Wizards of the Realms, People of the Purple Dragon, Cormir in its own words, The Rise, Fall, and Rise Again of Zastam, The Adventures of Boo, Miniature Giant Space Hamster, Boo Atlas of the Underdark, The Doctrine of the Earth Mother, A Victim's Guide to Infernal Contracts, How to Talk to Genies, Part 1 of 4, Crenshinobon, Its Creation and Destruction, The Colossal Kingdom, A History of Astoria, What to Eat and Not Eat in the Wilderness, and finally Liches of Faroon, an Incomplete Guide. You all should study this one about what not to eat and what to eat in nature. But you do not see anything that mentions old elven gods or goddesses that may contain nothing about just elves in general. Uh no. Um just those.

SPEAKER_11

I'll take the lich one.

SPEAKER_03

All the mother nature one.

SPEAKER_16

I would like to text me.

SPEAKER_09

If there's anything specifically regarding to bean or the black hand, like any like the organization or something.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah. The no. Um doesn't seem to be.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, for sure. And that's fair.

SPEAKER_16

How long do you guys want to spend on these books? If if there's any specifically that you want to read right now, or do you find them and kind of stash them away? Stash them immediately.

SPEAKER_06

I will I will find the book on High Horkish and I will spend, I guess, our short rest reading it. If you want to short rest right now, I think we definitely need to short rest 100%.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

I think we should leave long rest and come back.

SPEAKER_18

I don't know if we can afford to leave. This is a time-sensitive window.

SPEAKER_16

I'm not gonna let you. No, no, absolutely not.

SPEAKER_21

Um sleep with the barracks.

SPEAKER_16

And we get murdered in our sleep. Uh, as you take this short rest, what does Hodge find that he was looking for in this book?

SPEAKER_18

I would say this book is written by a wizard of some kind, but this book has. I'm just glancing through it, really, at the moment, but like inspiration on constructs and golems and similacra and homunculus, animated objects, gorgons, all sorts of constructs, uh, illusions or otherwise, and it's a wizard sort of delving into, like, is this life? The things that I've created, like, they seem to have a will of their own. Questions about, you know, if I give an open-ended command, how will the golem, the construct, achieve that thing? If I ask it to pick a beautiful flower, what does it do? So, like, all these questions about the constructs that he's created of the spells that are relatively commonplace, where you usually give it the command of defend this town or pick this thing up, do these things for me. Like, what happens when you uh give it freedom? Do you have the spin chunk of the few? Yes, so this book is extremely important, and my eyes go wide when I find it. I don't feel it's the time, but you see me fawning over this book, and I I know right now we do not have the time to cover it in-game and out of game. But I am, yeah. This is probably the most uh serious you've ever seen Hodge when he finds this book.

SPEAKER_03

Hodge would love to Google Home. Carter loves at home. He uses it for time roads, same, but it works perfectly for that.

SPEAKER_16

As uh everyone uh spends an hour tending to their wounds and looking uh around the library for these books. Uh feel a bit uh refreshed, uh get some more hit points ready to trudge on further, but that is where we'll end this episode. Thanks so much for joining us for episode six.
