Thousands of hours of content. Joe, you had a dream last night. It was very important to Joe. But he walked to us about this dream. A master of this. A master of this segue. Now I will say, fair warning. He did kick it to you. Yeah. Yeah. I got to be, I had a dream. It's right before we started recording. People were up hearing about other people's dreams. Nobody ever wants to hear about anybody's dream. Nobody's listening to this. I was listening to this. Last, so I had a bad night's sleep last night for the first time in a long time. Whatever reason, every hour, I just woke up. Like every hour. And I kept thinking it was like way, you know, later than it was. And I was actually getting sleep. I wasn't. I was like, low testosterone. Is that what it is? Proven? I'm just assuming. So I was just like, it could be unrelated. I was like, what is going on here? And then in like the wee hours of the morning, I suddenly have a vivid, very real dream that lasted a while. That Troy, they were back in your face. That was a nightmare. That was a nightmare. That was a nightmare. It was a nightmare. Do we remember the bag of 20 to 26? That was crazy. The bag of 20 to 26. The bag heard around the world. So what did I do to you? You. What did I do to you? You know you did something. Composed a concert. It was a musical concert, not like a musical. It was like Delta Green. It was bizarre. And so we were all going. We were all going and I was super suspicious. I was just like, you know, he's got his hands in too many pots. Like what the f***? Would you just focus on what you're doing? And I go in with like this whole crowd and stuff. It was like so good. And I was actually mad when I woke up that like I couldn't remember the music. Because someone was like piano music and so it was really good. But then someone was like, I thought music like kind of like DJ mixed up. That's my style. And I was just like, I was like, how does he do it? Right? That's the whole dream. I think I know what it was. So. So. So. Alright. So that's the dream. Alright. So. Alright. So that's the dream. Here's where the dream story comes in. Really fun. Here's where the dream story comes in. Wait, there's more to this. Yeah, I'm getting ready to leave. Did you start having sex with everybody in the crowd? That's right. No or dream. That was the dream. The dream was so nice. And I remembered waking up being like, I wish I remembered some of that music. It was so good, but I couldn't remember it. So I get showered and I'm just getting ready to go. And this is before my wife is getting up, she's like just starting it up. And she's like, I just did not sleep last night. And I'm like, me neither. I was like, up every hour. And she's like, yeah, so was I blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, the weirdest dream, the Troy was a composer. And I went to like see a concert blah, blah, blah. And she's like, what? Come on. And she dreamed that an old friend of hers from a former job had composed a musical concert and was and she was going to that concert. I thought it would have been a weirder if she was like, I couldn't say it. And I just couldn't sleep from that concert we went to the Troy put off. I'd be like, I just like run out of it. I just wake up again. And I'm like, next to you in bed, what's wrong? No. That's a true story. Is that a crazy dream again? You know what I'm thinking though? There had to have been a sound in the real world. Like there had your neighbor something had, there had to have been like news. Someone was playing cum dancing next door at 3.30 in the morning. A car driving by. Condons. Around your block. Did you guys watch a show about concerts? No, we literally watched Fantastic Four last night. Is there a concert? No, there's no music any good? There's no concert. Music's fine. The music and the music. How? Were you guys like holding hands in bed laying like perfectly aligned so that you like shared a dream like you? No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no, no. We're going to do it. No, no, no. One day, the two soon. You are both going to a show tonight. Yes, we are. We do a new show tonight. So it was part of your collective unconscious. You were thinking about music. Yeah, the way that it's just weird to be out. That's wild. For the friend composed like a guitar. That's pretty weird. That's the subway. That's the way we were. She was like completely shocked when I mentioned my story. She was like, I can't do that anyway. Share dreams are crazy. So creepy stuff. Alternate theory. Oh, oh. Both of you have been accepted. Oh, I took a pose on concert. Or no, there must be something deeper, right? Because you got to go another layer deeper. Yeah. So maybe there's something in the idea of a friend composing something that's going to, I don't know, destabilize the two of you. Interesting. Do you have a friend that's a professional dream designer? I would contact him first. Yeah. You have a friend who has a business where they can go into the dreams and reverse inception. I don't not yet. Okay. You need to get out. That's the easier one. Easier one. Undo the inception. Get on LinkedIn. You'll find somebody. Yeah. It's called Ken Mannabi. Okay. I'm going to call Tom Hardy. Okay. Come on. We got to let them in on the joke. One of these days. That's one point we want. Today's not the day. Not today. Stick around. We'll be right after this break. That's right. We'll be right after this break. Hey, everybody.

Hi, this is Rob Benedict and I am Richard spate. We were both on a little show you might know called Supernatural. It had a pretty good run 15 seasons, 327 episodes. And though we have seen, of course, every episode many times, we figured, hey, now that we're wrapped, let's watch it all again. And we can't do that alone. So we're inviting the cast and crew that made the show along for the ride. We've got writers, producers, composers, directors and will of course have some actors on as well, including some certain guys that played some certain pretty iconic brothers. It was kind of a little bit of a left field choice in the best way possible. The note from Krypti was, he's great. We love him, but we're looking for like a really intelligent, decovny type. With 15 seasons to explore, it's going to be the road trip of several lifetimes. So please join us and subscribe to Supernatural, then and now. Welcome to the realms of peril and glory. Explore the mechanically magical vistas of veil, the paranormal mysteries of liminal London, and the cyberpunk chaos of cyborg. Be awed by our incredible guests from familiar shows like Oxventure and No Rolls-Bard. Search realms of peril and glory to find out more. Folks, we are back. I want to thank our sponsors for this our shadow dark campaign. 11 apps in. That's crazy. We can go really at 10. I want to thank Norris Poundry for all your random number generating needs. Now, he's 17. We're going to generate some random numbers to prove that they work. There'll be some 13 lucky 13 natural 20 on the Sydney die. We got the glass cannon logo. Wow, you just rolled natural natural 20. I literally did. Wow. Nice strong start. The planet. You know, I don't want to hawk our wares, but we do sell versions of all these Norris Poundry dice on our web store. And there's like Joe dice. There's Matthew dice. This Sydney dice. Get dice. So you can go buy those as well. But also check out Norris Poundry. They have so many so much great stuff. They do. This is the original Matthew die. Oh, it's the blue laboratory. How she go? She goes great. However, how she go? How she go? Oh, she go. I used car. If you, yeah, well, that's a. Go be. Stand by my question. If you were to buy this die, it might come in this greenish shade. Or you might get a streak of brown or you might get a streak of blue. Yeah. It has the wisest variance. But Labradide is so beautiful. The streak of brown of the Matthew used one. You wipe the spot with it. You all tried it. The prince has had to leave the literally. You just walked away. Strict of it. Strict of it. Strict of it. I just haven't seen anything on cars. Why am I the last two? And also foundry virtual table. Top. Thank you foundry. I just talked to Andrew foundry founder. How is it founder foundry foundry foundry foundry foundry foundry. Fantastic. They're really excited. Now we're recording this foundry. We're recording this ahead of time. So I don't know the exact details, but they're really excited about what they call internally. V 14. Oh, so I think we're playing on version 13 of North Foundry and each like full numbered, yeah, like version. It's like a major update. Lots of changes and stuff like that. And so this is either out now or coming soon or in a semi stable version. So like if you're playing foundry, if you're using foundry now, look into maybe upgrading to 14 because apparently there's going to be a bunch of amazing stuff. There's a whole bunch of new lighting, animation stuff, which like really lets you dress up a map. And I know they're doing multi-tier, like multi-level dungeons and connecting dungeons as a single scene. So you know how you like you build a scene. And if you go to the second floor, like you have to have a new scene. So they're doing interlinked single scenes in the month map. And we'll pull you guys move to a staircase and immediately watch it. Yeah. And so different players can see different levels of a dungeon. If somebody falls through a trap, right? And you're like, boom, you're on the next level of the dungeon. You know, as the jam, you know, to be like, all right, let me move you to a different scene and you know, et cetera. It's all like connected. Anyway, that's cool. That's one of two of among I think many different features, but very cool. Keep an eye out for V 14. Well, I will say we are. We have been playing in theater of the mind thus far for the past couple of months. But stay tuned. It's not always going to be that way. Okay. Good to know. But however, a lot has happened in the past couple of apps. And now you're in the shit. Matthew, want to tell us what happened last week to set up this role for a niche of them. So the tip of my tongue. It's last week we entered into this cave system by the river by the Phoenix river. Yes. Mr. Squiggle pants was the working title. Was it named that somebody gave somebody through that out that we all just quietly let we all drift into the nice mess. I said denial. We were that's right or the Nile River or denial denial. Also fun. Yeah. Phoenix river. So we descend into the cave. It leads us down. We eventually reach a juncture. Go left or right. I believe it was at that point we fought some large spiders. We quickly dispatched with them. And then we went to the left. We discovered a room that had a kind of concavity at the center and Saint tossed a rock down and that basically it fell through. It was like a sh. And then the whole thing started to crack and there was like a 90 foot drop into nothing. That's a single action. And you had to walk along the ledges. I love that visually. And it was a trap to clear that it seemed that as if we assume the werewolf had set because there were mounds of clothes set on the outside of the walls. They almost look like children. So we got there, realized it was a trap turned back, went down the other junction. We found a passage that narrowed narrowed and then Regina, who has been getting increasingly passive aggressive with us for not taking her straight home, understandable. Not in a bad way. But she, her kind of claustrophobic took over and she had a panic attack. So she and Corvon went back into the chamber before and we proceeded with Rihon. We stepped into another chamber that opened up very wide. I believe you said there was one and one exit, the other side. We tell how big it is this. I'd say it's about 50 feet wide. And if I said something different last week, it's 50 feet in diameter or 50 feet 50 foot diameter. I guess it's not a perfect circle, but think of it roughly. You can see the other wall if you're standing on one wall. Yes, yes. Obviously your light only extends to 30 feet. I did say the ceilings were a work like just in Pathfinder. Like we have 30 feet of like bright light. And then it's going to be on it. It's like you're kind of you get the sense of an exit. Okay. So since an exit, that's that's the episode. Yeah. Senses. That's like a hitchcock. Yeah. That's a chino. Who are who are the sense of an exit? Half the man I used to be. I take a flame. Throw it at this cave. Yeah. It's not going to tell me my question. That's not telling me where Chris was also down in Phillips. Boston College is owned. Chris had no. Yeah. Sorry. I feel like we went off on a table. Yeah. That's that's kind of what we never do that. So we are. Currents. We're worried about another trap. I also forgot the you know, was that the same episode? We're saying did not check for traps at the original wherewolf cave. Oh, man. So much happens in each app. Corbin, every almost died. Yeah. Both went to zero. Both zero, both rolled for severe ongoing possibly permanent injury. And both succeeded luckily. And it could have been really bad. And that would have been on sale. But you even mentioned I think at the end of the episode, if we had an encounter that trap and possibly if I hadn't not recognized it, I never probably would have checked so thoroughly for the pit trap, which was a TPK, like a four shore would have dropped. 9d6 worth of damage. I mean, you're in a pit. Everyone takes minimum nine damage if I roll nine once. But yeah, if you're like, let's go. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Farragos down there. You have no heal. I mean, minimum nine damage for all dead. Right. Yeah. I think that would qualify though for the severe injury role. Yeah, that would be broken leg or loss an arm on the way down. So to be run, we went to the original wherewolf cave. It was trapped, but we had found it had been the two mountains had been zoomed and we were guessing it might have been the children of the original, the original children of the werewolf that she either killed herself or lost. We found one child bone that was a child. So we realized the werewolf head is is thinking ahead of us so dark. So that's where we went to the next cave. So anyway, we went to this final chamber. We kind of like we step in and kind of like tip toe along the wall, fearing again, a trap and then we looked up and we saw these a bunch of RNG golden flex in the ceiling, that then all be anxious, then reveal themselves as creatures and then we got swarmed. Yeah, they come. A ton of them come flying down at you. For his overall for initiative, I was thinking about this on the drive home. So obviously we're 11 apps in now or we will be at the end of this app. And we've had a couple rulings that I think I've, I haven't made official that we've kind of just stumbled into. Obviously we came upon the foraging rule only like an episode or two ago. And I think I think we're doing that. I think we're doing that right. I started to think like should it just anyone be able to forage? You know, like we've kind of made it where like only some of you can hunt if you have that trait or if you have a title that sort of lends itself to hunting. And I think that's right. I don't think just anybody can hunt and luck of the world. I haven't even attempted because I feel like this is not something he's ever been trained. I think that's like that's a specific skill that like our backgrounds would allow, but not necessarily anyone would. Imagine if we were caught out on like a hike somewhere, you know, a classic glass can cast like and I was like, I'm going to go hunt. I'll be back in a little bit. Yeah. What would you assume is going to happen? The odds of me walking dead. If you have trained, you can't just do it. If you saw a deer like there and you had a like a gun, you could be like, Oh, you maybe you could shoot the deer, but you could be able to like track down, find a deer. Yeah. Or a track. I also don't think you could forage though. No, I couldn't. Yeah. So we've all been surviving in this. Well, that's the thing is I feel like everyone, even at first level, as they get any intelligence, a base intelligence, you could probably forage for berries and stuff or mushrooms or yeah, whatever. Now, there's maybe a case to be made as an herbalist, the herbalist. Maybe you get advantage on that or something. The difference is that the whole beauty of those titles really should give you a little boost. It's not just like, yeah, to inform some kind of like situation abilities like maybe Matthew would get to like of something if he succeeds. Right, but that's gets double. Forager is a thing. Herbalist is different. I feel like herbalist is more tight into alchemy. It actually the memory if you remember finding poisons and things I could have chosen. Right. The way that we roll on both tables technically. Yeah, it was herbalist. Obviously they're so close, you know, intertwined. Yeah. Identifying plants and stuff. So in this world in this setting, it seems like everyone has a base opportunity to forage. Let me just say what I was going to say about foraging the differences. The stuff you forage is an actively trying to avoid you or hide from. Right. That's a big difference or kill you. Right or kill you. So I guess so much. Right. So do you have the intelligence to know is this poison or not? Everyone has one daily check to forage while traveling. Whereas hunting, it seems like right now only the two of you and maybe other NPCs or higherlings you find along the way. Because don't forget you can there might be carousing opportunities where you can bring someone into your party that I'll be forced to play who fills a role that you don't have. Someone that is like a legit hunter. And you know, you can say then you have the third opportunity to do that. And I'm still working out. I have a system behind the screen that's working on how I'm determining the hunting. But I may adapt that along the way. But anyways, we're limiting that to you two for now whereas everyone can forage. The other thing is I did it the second time, but I didn't do it the first time when you push yourself without rest. And I believe Saint and Alison failed the first time. You then went to fight or take out the cultists while they were sleeping. And I said, well, well, let's see what happens and I didn't give you any sort of mechanical or didn't come into play. But then the next time I gave you disadvantage. Yeah. So from now on, if you fail those contracts on a push, you're going to get disadvantage of physical and mental checks. And that will, you know, if you then continue to push that could get worse as we go along. But I just want to kind of put that out there now so that there is much more risk to push it. No, I want you to push and you should. I mean, that's that risk is insane. Yeah, but it should it should it should feel like the mental and physical strain of going too long. But it's something you absolutely should do because that made sense in the moment like we have to strike at night. And then we have to run. And then we got to run. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. So you, yeah, by the time you got back to Nell, then you were just you must have been like a zombie as you would be. If you walked for 16 hours, I was thinking about that. It was like, because you know, I recently we walked the West Island way in Scotland. And I was thinking about like at the end of like one of those day long hikes. Like I didn't fight anyone at the end of except for Samantha sister a little bit. But I didn't farewell. Right. So it makes sense. It makes it. Couldn't even match with with anyone. No. All right. That being said, you want some caps. All right. One three. One cap. One cap. Nope. No, I'd like one please. I'll take two if you get them. I'll take two. Thank you. I mean, that's the thing. You can't. Oh, that was good. I'm so terrible. Really? Whip it. I'm more of a Vicky Reachie. Oh, Vicky. I got, boy, the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I got a lot of the wild. I said, I'm like, what the fuck? Oh, and Adam's. Why did we do that? Would you believe? All right, so let's roll for an initiative. Let's get into it. I'm going to have Breone roll as well. No, I'm not going to Breone roll because you don't want Breone roll because then Breone will go and then all my monsters. I'm going to leave it in your hands. My guy is here to help. You have an extra body, which is nice. I'm going to ask again, is it possible to pass on every initiative on purpose? It's a low as result. I've never in a game wanted to not roll. No, you can't delay. I think you can delay, but then it goes to it. It represents his chance to go first. Yeah. Yeah, very early. Yeah. Fair. Fair. S. Okay. Six. 13. Four. Six. Whoa. Oh, I'm sorry. Five, five. Oh. You guys. I got you. I mean, this is. Boy. This is so bad. Oh, no. Okay. 10 of these enemies come swoop from the sea. Oh, boy. Oh. How big are they? Your turn's going to be five minutes long. They look, they're like giant mosquito-like creatures. Long, proboscis, fluttering wings. Kind of remind me of the sturgis for that. From, yeah. From my original side quest. Yeah, face the rainbow. Let me just look at my character sheet to make sure I have my hip points are that number. Great. I'll be dead. Oh, man. The bookkeeping alone on this is going to be a real pain in the weiner. So I'm going to go then fair, then, Breone, then Faro, say it, Ellison, and Warwick. Goodbye. Okay. I mean, I guess. Goodbye. All right. I'm going to, I'm going to spread the well. Now, I believe you said you came in and you like hugged the left side of the wall. The wall. You're all kind of like standing there in a line. They can't come from behind us. They all cast Fireball. They all have A.O.E. spells. So we made trials. We made trials. We were all clumped together. No, they are going to just start coming at you and packing with their these long suction like beaks. I'm just going to go around the horn here. Wait. Slow down. So you're going to attack me with a single one of these creatures. And they're like giant mosquitoes. Giant mosquitoes. Yes. Orange, gross. Sex to bats with four wings. Yep. I will give you disadvantage. Yep. You want to burn this right out the gate? I not. No. No. I don't want to. Okay. But if I just go down instantaneously and never get a turn, yeah, we're screwed. Okay. We're really screwed. All right. Well, I will die with the caps. There's no point in that. All right. This is, this is insane. Okay. Let's try it. All right. That is going to be a 20 and an eight. Okay. Miss. Oh. Oh. Number two comes. Because he's a man. Oh, man. Don't forget you might need these for when you're I know. Believe me. Believe me. I didn't want to spend a single one in this fight. Two. Four. A 16 and a 15. Oh, that. Oh, that's two hits. Two hits. No. That was wood hit. All right. A couple things are going to happen. First, you're going to take a measly one point of damage. Oh, my God. It's possible. Never. It attaches to you. Yeah. Oh. I can tell you the ramifications of that at a later time. Number three. This advantage goes out. Okay. Wow. Wow. I started a trend. I have no, I mean, I don't know. I have to rub all these gaps back here. Solo. I mean, a single hit. Yeah. We'll put any of them. Could put any of them. Maybe. Highest roll, lowest roll. Excuse me is a five. Miss. Okay. Farrow. That's going to be a 12 to hit. Exactly. Oh, grossness. Wait, will you have chain me on? I do. You take three points of damage and it begins sucking. The next one goes after Breone. Breone doesn't have any caps and goes to bite Breone and hits with a 17. Oh, my gosh. Do you think? No, miss a single one hit without a single hit. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to hit it. I'm going to hit it. I'm going to hit it. I'm going to hit it. I'm going to hit it. I'm going to hit it. One hit without disadvantage. Thank you, Norse Foundry. All right, so Breone takes two points of damage attached. One of you don't really care about Breone. Although maybe you'll get less of a reward. I mean, it's just imagines like the fucking Mine-Ox. Yeah. Just complete the match. and then he's flying around. And it's time we'll clear him off with her anymore. Come and chew on the power cables. Come and back around again. We probably have to start spending caps on initiative. Yeah, that's fine. You guys, we can go to the advantage. Yeah, we should. We should go to our next party. Yeah, we should have our next party. Yeah, that's good advice for them. Harble Bat number six goes after work. He just tipped his hand as to what these creatures are. 12. Miss. Okay, swatze it away with the shield. Next one on Allison, who already has one second. Seven miss. Okay, next one. It's saying already has one. Guaranteed hit maybe a natural 20. I can just know. No, no. That's the way dice work. Natural one. Oh, do I get a something's not bad should happen? Do I block with my dagger and I haven't thought this far ahead? Cut its nose off. Cut its nose off. I cut it wing. I cut its per-bottom. You know what I'm going to say is this one. This was number six, seven, eight. We'll say it, it like goes at you and it hits its beak against the wall and it doesn't have the ability to do it suck. Nice. Number eight. Oh, it can't suck. Everyone remember number eight doesn't suck. I got it right here. It doesn't suck. It doesn't suck. It can't suck. Yeah, the other nine all suck. Oh, it gets mom. Right. I wish we had a part. That was a good one. Is this mom one of these ten? Yeah. Oh, no. And here comes mom. Oh, wait, mom. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, all right. Okay. Cap city. Oh, that would be a 2-dirty 20. And then I forgot to do it. 2-dirty 20s. Oh. Two 18s. Sorry. No. I'm going to go down here. Two points of damage. I go down. And two of these things are sucking on Farrow. It's just silly. All right. The last one goes after Breone and Mrs. Breone. So two are sucking on Farrow who is dying and the healer. One is sucking on Ellison. One is sucking on Breone. Okay. Let's talk about this problem as we go around the table. Which one? So these things, if they're attached to you, they get an auto hit the next time it comes around. Unless you remove them with strength or with another ability. This is where that's your turn. And that's your turn. Now, you know, unless they have some sort of. You can be creative, Joe. Yes. Unless they have some sort of ability which many creatures do. And that's why I'm leaving a little vague here. Some people are immune to like morale checks. If they don't have that ability, once five of them go down, you have the chance at maybe them. They start scurrying off, you know, but this is officially the worst it's been for the team. Now, can I tell you what I think the creatures are? Uh-huh. Are they sting bats? They are sting bats. Sting bats. You tipped you into a little bit before we start recording. You said you said you were excited because it's a very classic shadow dark. Yeah. And then I didn't even think of sting bats. That is so classic. I don't know what they do though. So I guess this is so suck. So they are. This goes suck. Yeah, and I can tell you it was a randomly rolled. It was 3d6 and I rolled 10. Wow. So we got off pretty average. Pretty average. Yeah. Average. Actually, 3d, we just learned this. It is below average. 10. Now, keep in mind many, many people pointed that. Many, many people felt very strong. Torven and Regina are, uh, they're deeper within the cavern. Uh, they're there. You need bodies. Maybe you want to yell to them. I know. I'm giving you, giving you ideas here. I mean, it might take them a while to get back. And Regina might not even do it. But she also might not want to stay alone. So I just want to kind of, uh, you know, now it comes to you, Farrow. It's technically your turn. So this is where you get your free round to roll, uh, see how many rounds were you permanently dropped. 1d4 for that. 1d4 plus cavern. Oh, so it's minus 1. But minimum one. But minimum one. One. Okay. So two, two rounds. No. No one. No one. Just the round. You rolled the one on the one before. Yeah. Or two, isn't it? We literally said two episodes ago. Yeah, minimum one. Like, he can't get a negative and go to zero. Yeah. Yeah, the one I have a minus one on my column. Oh, the minimum total, either is the minimum one column. No, no. Okay. But now he rolls a D20. No, no. No. One shot. One shot. Oh, I see, I see. If you fail that, you die permanently. If you fail that, you die permanently. If you fail that, you die permanently. If you fail that, you die permanently. If you fail that, you die permanently. I take the rope off of me and quickly seeing Faro go down, I quickly run the rope around both of the things there's two on him that are sucking. So I run the rope around as if I'm like grotting or trying to like cut the circulation of the two creatures per basket. So I'm just gonna quickly like, you know, just cinch it and then sprint as far away as I can get. Should the opposite side of the cave? Yeah, so I'm going to just pull this rope behind me and try to pull the creatures out of Faro. A little shit Sydney. Okay. I'll do a deck. I'll do like, I feel like it's a strength check for you to pull them off. Dad, I'm not gonna make you roll to tie it and stuff like that. That's not what this game is. You're cool. You're just putting the goal is. To get two creatures out of him instead of just trying to stab one on his- But what does that do? It removes them from sucking because it comes back around to me. They're gonna suck him below zero. And I get that below zero is a thing. I mean, I think if you take damage while it's zero- I'm gonna cut aggro to grossing. There's a yeah, there's a yeah, there's a- That was my advantage. It's not giving to me made that he'd be dead then. And I could really only- So you wouldn't even get a chance. Right. I could really only do one attack technically. So I could stab one, not kill it, but probably. Or I can try to- The fact that you went first makes this- Yeah, this is the worst. By an order of magnitude way worse than that. Oh my God, I have to- I mean, if we really should have like- This advantage is his- Oh my God. One thing I forgot, Breon did not go. Oh, I thought about it. Oh, Breon should have gone. I thought about it. I thought about it and like- We either he either gets a die roller, he doesn't. And if he doesn't, it means he always goes after me, basically. Well, I basically- We never gave him a die roll before. I didn't give him- You said- I said he's gonna go- Gonna go out. Yeah, and I basically- My thought was he wasn't going to attack to begin with because they hadn't flown down. I could have had him go first on my drive in. I figured that my guy would always go before the enemy, but they were all in the air coming down. Right, that's what I'm saying. So they all attack, so Breon gets an attack. So he should go first before I do anything. Yeah, before you do anything, but this is a cool idea. But Breon said they go before the enemies. You rolled high as an issue before the enemies. Why would he go? Because Breon, he gets to act on my round. Do you know what I'm saying? Right, but you said- You said in the last episode, they go before the enemies in turn of initiative. Right. So Breon delayed- He delayed because they were all with that branch. He's delayed because they were all with that branch. Okay, so he was going- You were role-represents his role too? No, I didn't role for Breon. I basically just role for the enemies. Okay, yeah. I'm not gonna- Because I don't want to- This is gonna be a point where I think I'm gonna have several NPCs. I don't have to role for all of them individually. Okay, so I just sort of arbitrarily decided- What do you want Breon to do? I don't know. Yeah, also this is gonna show- Instructions like- Get the foul, get the foul! What pressure on the wounds and try a stabilization check. Okay, if he stabilizes you, is that really going to help? Yes. Will it- If she can get- I'll be cause I can get them out. Okay, but they're going to auto-damage him. There's no other option- All right, so the stabilization- So this is a DC-15 intelligence check? Yeah. How smart is- How smart is Breon? He doesn't strike me as being that fucker. He's got something on his own neck which is sucking the life out of him. You know, it also just feels like- What doesn't- He just ripped them off. Here's why we should have Breon's table-ass. Which is- To pull back the curtain on my turn. Is this smart his brother? He's the smartest brother. Well, we never did- We don't like Corvus. We don't like Corvus. We don't like Corvus. We like Breon. No, but I think what I'm gonna do is- On my turn, I'm going to try to sleep these guys. Assuming they're level two. Now assuming they're level two or lower. All right, what are you thinking? Because, you know, I'm fine with you using sleep. But, you know, you can't- You're gonna have to choose the direction. If you're all standing in a line, you can't sleep like this. I picture it. I know it's a 34Q, but it's more- It's more meant to be like a cube this way. If they're on either side- I don't know where you're standing in line, but I'm assuming you're not- At the front and you're not at the back. And you put us to sleep too. You will have to say- You can't do this. You've got to- I'm gonna step out of the line. I'm gonna move. And then I'll move and get the whole cube in front of me. Oh, so you're gonna come out and face everybody including the whole party in the end. Oh, yeah, so that's the right- But then you're not sleeping the one that's on you. Exactly. But it's the only- I think it's the only shot we've got. Who has- But wait, you took damage and it will auto hit you. It will auto hit me. How many- Or you just then go down after you put us on sleep? How many hits did you have left? I have four HP. Okay, and well- So it could put me down. It could- Definitely, it could- So there- And one will go alive. And just kill all of us. Now, so- Okay, well let's play it out. Wait, there's a lot- You're saying a lot. Wait, we- You put the whole the sleep- You die. And then you could possibly die. I could possibly die. Hold on, hold on. It's not even- It's not even Alison's turn. We have to know what- This one's the- Yeah. I- He is the star- He is the star- I- The reason Alison's shattered from Brio into the Stabilized Ferro is- You've got two things attached to you. Yeah. So if- If he can stabilize you- you and then I can put everybody to sleep including the the bugs mosquitoes presumably you will take damage on your turn which means you're going in to die now you still have to make the natural 20 right you've got two caps I do you could give Breone advantage and you give yourself advantage I mean it's still incredibly risky yeah this is the thing if I take that I don't think there's no rules for this in the core rulebook as far as we know but if I take damage I'm already down it's like because there's an argument to me that's like well you'd lose a round off of your timer out of your death timer yeah so this is an interesting thing like it as written it doesn't say anything about taking damage beyond zero but if so I I feel like and I think you would agree even if you're trying to stay alive it doesn't feel right that you just keep taking damage something yeah it has to do something so yeah two of them on you just that extra one really fucking sucks right because you know there's a world where Breone or Saints stabilizes you and then let's say sleep fails you're stable that first suck put you back to dying and then that second one does takes around you know yeah well I guess we'll cross that bridge I mean but in a best case scenario so you'd have to roll natural 20 on his turn or he does right that's in the best case scenario right for those just listening at home picture us in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with many a bridge to cross to get back to land let me throw one more thing out there because this is more this is what was in my mind without sleep because I don't have anything on me yeah in my mind it was if he gets them off of skid I can just grab Pharaoh and run out you don't have anything attached you no I can I know right yeah I'm powered to delay but then you couldn't go yeah I don't know if you're empowered to delay that's what I don't let me go and then go yeah I don't think so well I'll bounce it back and forth let's start with Breone I think and I'm totally fine but like let's whenever a character death is of all it's always best to slow the table we want to we want to get it right and what works we can I feel like even before the end of this combat we're gonna be making decisions that are gonna affect the future of the game in terms of setting precedent yeah how how how I how we rule things so dangerous the ripples that can emerge one incidents how many caps do we got around the table here I have to I have to to one oh my god can we give now you can character's yes I'm gonna say you could even get Briona cap but now I don't know if you want to I think skid's gonna want to I I'll do that I'll give her a cap him him I keep thinking it's pretty on the map he's also the most beautiful I got I think I keep think of Briana of Tart I have to think of Brian James that's why I have to think of right sure so if you give me that I'm gonna roll two of these he has a plus zero to intelligence I have to know you see the result first then you can spend a cap oh there it's a rerolls yeah advantage not advantage okay I see saved the cap okay I'll save the cap we establish that we that's how look that's a lot of just you just don't know the result I'm nervous for you so I want to make sure we have to spend the good doing it all right of course I've been rolling 80s 20s yeah no 10 20s yeah let me guess four all right so Brion's like gotta keep the hero alive and he goes to stabilize you he's like just trying to like where there's a piercing you know there's maybe this blood coming out of the little Prabascus and he's just trying to stick his fingers up under there but no you want him to stabilize he's giving you mouth to mouth don't you die on me let's throw up I love these characters now he's 17 save the camera you save your cat okay momentarily say it momentarily all right so I mean I imagine he's just putting pressure underneath those things well this thing sucking on him as well so there's three sucks three sucks okay well then I kind of still want to do what I originally had thought to do I want to take the rope Brion has now like compressed down so goes from Brion it goes to you you've already done your role that goes to you so I'd like to take the rope wrap it just above Brion's hands against the Prabascus of both the fingers dangling off of him too I can't help him I'm gonna cinch it and then I'm gonna sprint toward letting like the slack build up you know sprint toward where Regina and Corvina are back at the crevice like the Corrivas and the wall okay and I'm just gonna die forward and pull the rope as hard as I can yeah cool it's fuck I love it it's exactly what Shattered Argus meant to do if you succeed I'm gonna give you a bottle cap okay and you said it has to be strength it has to be strength yeah you're using you're using all you know athletic and yeah power of your body my strong strong body let's go 16 success yes so just the sting bats thank you nice yeah who ripped oh my god what did you break nothing the sting bats get ripped out yeah maybe I think Brad their brats maybe their Prabascuses you know like get all messed up who's say you are okay you kind of like take I think they I think they pull them off and you're stable and I yell out towards the crevice but now those two are no longer within that queue they are she ran at 60 feet of rope out just with the slime all yeah they just got popped out okay okay okay okay I'm not super man I can't whip them you know but okay all right okay but I yelled to Regina and Corvina like get here now and he's on the ground all right trying to say Breone's gonna die we don't die also you're outside the sleep spell you would be outside the sleep but they're not I'm gonna actually roll to see if they're conveniently right there because I think you are running at full force towards the other side to be able to be like and I and I left them exactly where Ellison can sleep I say there's a chance that that's what happens but I think it's a stretch to say that automatic yeah the two sting bats one two three they're going with you you're like pulling them with you both of them 30 feet and a body emotions a body emotion stays I only rolled a 16 on my strength there wasn't crazy four five six they're sitting right there for anybody on the campus family shouldn't he roll it first yeah well no because we'll know the result three they go with you peace only two okay okay I think you didn't tie it up and set the end of the world so I mean they are cinched like they're cinched together it might be delicious this is fine a lot of meat on those bones okay okay he just turns around a looks and goes shit oh god I'm obsessed with every moment of this and very fearful okay Ellison is gonna step to the end of the line so he now has every all the remaining I want to switch seats with you I always go after you sleep I always get put to sleep or everything's asleep you can go first I might turn I just would put the one to sleep that's on Brio which is great yes but not the one that's on me yeah because now Brio has a chance to act to try and take out these other two if you're able to put them to sleep both work and Brio could clean up these two no we fall asleep yeah that's the whole thing I didn't say Brio in seventh level but Saint won't sweet but say I will I will show shout out say I'm gonna put other sleep get back here everyone's gonna fall asleep yeah and then he's got this thing stuck to his neck just draining blood out of him but he's gonna steal his mind plant his feet raises hand what happens when there's no bushes to pull from wait a minute every no to have disadvantage on this why because like you have one actively doing damage to you I've disadvantages why why would you wait what I that seems like a thing I don't know if it's I do you know what I do it's it's it's anytime there's something that would complicated or make it disadvantageous yeah well use your cap and just zero it out you're right you're right you're right I love they would have a spare cap I'll give you a cap I'll I've only got one so if I roll bad you give me that one you can roll the disadvantage roll with this and then see if you need the cap and then reroll them both right all right so you're just it's just a straight roll because you have advantage on cat oh no you don't have disadvantage disadvantage so I'm gonna roll twice and take the worst and I need to roll a here's the worst thing about this if you give the cap he still has to roll advantage right oh god no can I spend a cap to to negate my disadvantage yeah can't you yeah yeah so I will spend my caps and negate the disadvantage okay and then if I fail you guys will so I'll turn mine in now okay all right I'm now capitalist hey right back now hey yeah I've had a list of cause I don't know how this would work like do you have to respen two caps on the next roll you don't just not you know to be yeah we're working ourselves into a tizzy but we're gonna be just as you this we have decided that a cap can give you advantage and a reroll like either a reroll right originally in our home rules we did not decide it can give you advantage and you can't do it you get a cap at the start of each episode you use it to reroll a check after its role you use it to turn a hit into a crit you use it to give the GM disadvantage all right so that's that's why I'm grinding this to halt yeah no no that's your right yeah yeah okay so this is real real bad yeah this is real bad this is a okay sometimes you can have advantage effects that cancel out disadvantage effects but I don't think that's usually tied to spending a cap okay that one succeeded natural 15 okay doing the old two rolls batty two rolls natural seven but but question you can spend the game you spend your cap I'll spend my cap and reroll that one no no no that three roll both yeah throw both we did it with advantage okay throw up this I mean I have another one for you I have another one ready to go just a case I mean this is it that you have to okay that's an 11 that's exceeds 11 these eyes are garlic these eyes go away and I work shallow yard it has we own and all the remaining sting mats fall asleep except for the one sucking on my neck and the two that are attached to this rope that you old off far not near me it has to be because it's not anywhere near a 30 foot cube of us doesn't make any sense let's add two very interesting wrinkles to this Matt do you have that thing that we talked about oh guys probably lost track of this what thing but I didn't let's go ahead and do that the light spell has ended and we'll be back right after this oh my god oh my god oh

games is it a composer or is it cheese oh I know this game knowing Mozart it's probably all of the above it's all of the above is this a fake or was this a flop that's more mistakes than I made in my last recital listen wherever you get your podcasts do not adjust your video screens or tv sets this is not an error the outer limits and I wish we could just keep playing like this this is definitely fun and atmosphere yeah we've now switched to 10 candles our eyes are far better than a camera lens so like I can still see your faces you know generally I have my headlights too so I'm I'm the cryptic spooky yeah I got the ball tar you guys are just you can see everything we look like we're testifying on 60 minutes I will bring back up here but for you at home the light spell is out I was I left last episode and I texted Matthew because I couldn't find our group tax I was like remember to stop the timer on the light spell and so we started back up and that was and I completely forgot yeah track it yeah I was I'm not even on the foundry screen now let's talk about you know there's so much going on I think lighting a torch is probably the least of your concerns however physical attacks in the dark are going to come at a disadvantage you got to think about that if you wanted to light a torch what is do you remember what the thing is like just a diorol in this advantage in combat yeah in combat because it's in the dark right everything is I said it or it's I think it's I think it's I think you said it but it's a set that's a 12 I just look to 12 I think it's 12 yeah I think it's 12 yeah but I mean obviously any DC is changeable based on the condition sure sure yeah so if you thought that it was a normal difficulty then yeah I just did not come out you have to see this is a a succeeded a normal this is this is from the shadow dark red it subreddit no endorse by the arcade library succeeded in normal DC 12 wisdom or decks check to light a new torch oh 12 wisdom or decks well if in total darkness it's a hard wisdom or decks check this is this guy's house so it's not disadvantage no not this is advantage it's just a hard physical attack oh actually I should reach at the end of this guy's paragraph this is this is house you don't even read the end of the reddit this is this is house rule yes the total darkness check also still has this advantage so it's a difficult DC difficult with just this it makes it's a horrible horrible but we're also you know if we can yeah I guess it's not like yeah we don't like you have a big lighter anything to do this with if you're Flint which you have to like the fourth and do you have that dinner so we have tools I have it what Flint and steel yeah I keep that in mind I don't know what you have that so this is this is now this is the arcane library suppose so Kelsey presumably endorsing agreed this is for sure what I think everyone should do it's rules is written in my opinion darkness along with combat is a threat and should require a role to relate a torch in all circumstances and typically with this advantage unless you're a thief and can cancel out the other theory class town oh okay oh so regular role for you I can just roll to light it and it's a double advantage I think that's a triple advantage that's straight from Kelsey that's a triple advantage so that normal DC just yeah normal it would be normal DC and no dissent how many d20s you have to roll it's many is it and it's DC 12 yes for you for me I don't I don't think that it's not it's a disadvantage yeah it would be it's it would be it oh boy yeah that's rough okay yeah so you have caps left though but why does the least of your concerns here because there are still two of these alive all of the uh your allies are asleep except for Ellison and uh saint there's three alive three alive one still attached to me that's right one is still attached to you and it's two are uh in you know and pulled off and they're just kind of flooding around yeah you need we need Warwick well keep getting put to sleep I know I don't happen multiple you used your move action to get out to cast this it's still on you you're asleep all right keep in keep in mind how we wake wake people up is promise about trying to do it I just don't know why you understand the fucking nasty I understand situation it would just be nice to be sitting to your right it's all I'm saying we could scramble the seats from down you guys just start seats the one on brian fell off I'm gonna say it from the sleep it didn't just stay sucking like a baby falling asleep at its mother's breast it just fell off brian so I'm not gonna worry about that one I'm rolling automatic damage for the one on you I'm gonna tell you right now it's D4 so if you're old for I go down right I didn't have to say that oh my god I did it for your guests well get with hot pause no get me get Corbin it Corbin and Regina were yelled for they would act on your initiative yes technically like brian what what what what's what we say four rounds away no it's a completely different part of the cavern but it's super narrow area like a lot after that brian did yell Regina midway through said I'll give him all my money we're going back now and you said no so she's back there she's panicking but brian did call for them and I said brian was dying yeah I would say that if Corbin and Regina went alone deeper in the in the cavern they would have lit a torch okay so if you look back down because they're not gonna just sit there in darkness if you look back down you see shadowy light coming but it is not lighting up the room and they are not arriving this round automatic damage and you all roll it first if you don't like the number you'll free to give me a die I'll read I'm out of cap so it would be the generosity no no that's not a thank you can't you can't give disadvantage on damage well only three roll any die yeah you can give disadvantage yeah you can't re-roll I'll actually I'll give you can't make the GM this was our role you can't make the GM re-roll a known bad roll for the GM gets disadvantaged yeah I'll give you a cap for discipline oh how you got saved you we got saved you do you want if I don't want to worry a cape by the way no one said shit this is your money this is very routine right away a cape and no one has said anything about it we all just want to be weird one nice thing make you feel weird I say one nice thing about this cape I like your cape thank you it's about time um one two three capes do you want to know if I rolled a four because you'll feel better about yes yes or do you want me to just I want you to roll this one one at a time come on if you roll four first we'll be so happy that right what if I roll another four well that's fine well then we did anyway we're all really if you roll the one at a time I'm gonna roll them on the table okay you could see it Matthew I don't know how you first here we go first one okay three three one huge huge so one point of damage the other two flutter up to attack saint but let me remind you they're cinched in a rope like their proboscis is I had cinched it and yanked so I'm gonna give them disadvantage okay okay both of them will have disadvantage on this attack I mean this is just the beauty keep it fucking move it yeah right what you did was cool disadvantage isn't that a rule two that like all the enemies that we fight can all see in the dark yeah all the monsters all take an all see unless there's something in here that says these are specific I read something it's like all monsters have adjusted to the shadow yeah yeah well sometimes you'll fight bandits right yeah like that all right I take the lower what a bit of 15 and an eight yes and what a hit on that 15 yeah and then the second one a 17 and a four all right Brion is asleep oh my god oh wait you are stable you only you still instead of had this advantage on one of those rolls what did you do disadvantage on both rolls I did I did just reroll the three red disadvantage because they're cinched together in a rope oh that's right yeah oh was you didn't spend oh oh yeah yeah I thought you spent a cat we're also nervous yes all right so they they miss miss okay Brion is asleep I said that Regina or or Corvon some situation is coming towards you you don't know they're not here yet they may not be here for hours hours it would then go to you you're asleep but you are stable and those things have been pulled off of you it now goes to saint saint two of these things like up in your face and they're all fucked up and they might not have disadvantage next time however it's darkness and anything you do it's disadvantage you just I mean it must be so horrifying you just feel their wings beating against you as they're trying to like hit black mind purchase on your body yeah I think I think saint is going to just like swatting in the dark is gonna sprint back toward elison um and I'm gonna light a torch I'm gonna light a torch you try to light a torch yeah okay so you get it you are advantage will cancel out the disadvantage as a thief okay my dc is well all right it's hard it's in darkness yeah that's true we're in total darkness there's no shiny oranges are giving us any light up there or maybe the the torch like maybe it's gotten closer at this point they're torches pretty far like dim light so 15 if I'm gonna roll and then I might use a cap let's say so we got three caps natural 20 you like two torches yeah two I just get to oh whoa and one to elison right you get to double the numerical effects let's talk about it what how do you think that two hours two hours like a real oh my god this guy gave me a really well made torches double I mean maybe it's just like the whatever the soaked rag was wrapped like it's just really thick it'd been sitting at the bottom on my pack like soaking in its oil and when I light it it's like or maybe it's like a slow burning it's a slow burning one I think okay you can have it last for two hours yeah it's a now 20 it's something cool has to happen so like wherever you got this torch it's got doubled it up so go ahead and start two torches maybe it's warming out of maps and things yeah so imagine that though like or start one torch and then that one goes out you get the this next second we'll uh imagine just like the darkness and then like noise is noises running running running and then like back right in your face elison yeah okay elven you guys are about to see I imagine the sound that made was loud enough to wake up all of the shins all right so no not the same as that one no I woke you up one is still attached to where did you go do you move back to the party back to the party okay so those guys are still over there you see else just struggling with the sleep that attached to him I raised the torch I whoa I want what I want to do is attempt to pull it off me and I also want to wake up work are those are those are those can I use a move action to make your move action is enough to try and wake up work oh to wake him up so I'll wake you up I'll kick you you wake up what a horrible situation you would only you certain death coming down upon you don't wake up and then imagine you were running a concert elison imagine you were composing a composing a simple the same do I have a start all right and then I'm ready so you just come over this thing's laying in from your neck still flying and you kick him and then you want to try and pull it off yeah but I have a minus two to strength so you know what I'm gonna do I'm I have advantage on rolling magic missile I'd have disadvantaged to try to cast this spell that will cancel out okay so I'll just try to cast magic missile on the on the thing straight roll on this yeah imagine this one your own face this uninjured sting bat natural 14 oh okay okay and get it yeah be able to get it oh oh haven't killed one of these things yet four points of damage dude you've been rolling high yeah that's all that okay that was a number two I believe that second one hit you and attached all right so four points of damage pretty good pretty good um now it's interesting and Regina and Corbin are about to run into two I guess they you know you talk about these 10 enemies and that may if we kill five of them lol that they might flee basically around check situation just each single one also check every time they're at half hip-hippant group check yeah it's a group check and so I was just thinking to myself I wonder if this is considered out of uh are they commissioned enough to build a project and I'll think about that while you take your turn uh okay yeah he's gonna wake up stumbles to his feet grabbing sword and shield and uh get it off me get it off me he's like stop flashing hold still for a second he tries to aim it right and stab the fumble skewer the one that's hot oh my god why would you say that the fumble white why would you say that why did you just say that god wean city cap let's I think it's a hit okay it's got to be right what's your role what's I know 13 oh it's a nice like Minnesota tween Madison green zoning dark caps are so precious living the two I mean you have yeah we have we I'm gonna stick with it 13 with the 13 on the one on on on his like shot a magic missile that came back and hit it perfectly that is a hit yeah okay kill it all right come on let me let me kill it let me kill it come on nine points oh it had eight hit points left oh my god oh okay so yeah we're definitely in trouble there were ten of those things all with 12 hit points oh shit so I gotta be tier two right I'm it must be tier two oh my god okay they're definitely out tier one all right so you stand up as your move action grab your your standing up is not an action now it's your move I'm saying that you're moved it's not it's not okay yeah it's it's deliberately says like getting up is not an action okay which is awesome all right and grabbing a weapon same thing and then he's going to wake up Corbin um rion rion rion rion yeah he's just like get up huh uh don't scream starts hitting all the sting best we travel for a couple days we must have talked about sleep in fact it was probably war off the side being like it's the worst thing in the world he just said I'm gonna get a sleep you don't know what to do but trust me it's worth it when he does it Twilight sleep if you ever to suddenly lose consciousness yeah just wake up calmly don't freaking keep your life in the fight oh wait wake up calm that's right that's what I think every time I go to bed everyone in the morning wake up I'm gonna wake up so he looks over at you and you're like don't you see he notices his neck it's just got like a little blood dripping down he gets up and he rushes towards the two that uh we're over on the other side of the room and takes a swing the light is on now everybody can see oh let's see what his bonus is there it is he's got his sickle now uh here we go misses the seven the brian goes over misses with the seven uh that light continues approaching from uh the hallway uh here's not what I thought about how to rule this I'm gonna roll a morale check but I'm gonna roll it with advantage because they are not technically out of the combat uh they're still they could be woken up anything could wake them up so I'm gonna roll it with advantage but it's a wisdom check oh these creatures gotta be it's a D I think it's DC 15 DC 15 with DC 15 wisdom yeah success means they run away success means stay oh so okay the odds are in our fate yeah yeah I don't know how the advantage math works into it and it depends on what their wisdom bone is so it's a DC 15 I assume plus four success means they stay yes right yeah yeah if I roll higher than a 15 yeah you have a plus here you want to step oh do a plus zero I thought they were priest sting beds pre-testing right so I've two dice and uh if either of those is a 15 the fight continues we'll find out right after the scot oh my god too fast I'm Andy and I'm Alyssa and this is moms and mysteries where two Florida moms

your podcast we're back another break came quick but I want to make you wait why don't you love cliffies roll within cliffies these only roll 15 or higher I have no optimism about this I don't think he's gonna get it out I don't think he's gonna I thought about giving him disadvantage on this to even it out he'll still just roll 15 or will they five and a natural 20 yep there's no question no question five and a natural I've really this this die should be checked so one of them's dead seven of them were asleep two of them were still kicking the first one goes after brian because brian is right there brian I mean they're tied up aren't no they're just well they have the rope around them they should probably some of this disadvantage the way I looked at it as you pulled off of them and they got all fucked up I gave him disadvantage on that round I am a little bit disappointed so they've wriggled for it wriggled for it wriggled free and brian has already taken two points of damage but luckily that thing was removed from me he got sucked he just got sucked he got sucked all right here we go they don't have advantage so the first one attacks brian misses 11 I'm gonna have the second one attack brian as well natural one oh so that one also can't suck it like bings off of his chain mail and it bends its proboscis in such a way that it can't suck all right so things are things are looking up here they're still ugly still still a little ugly so it would go to Pharaoh for Pharaoh I mean the best gift you've got is your life yeah I'm dreaming be my wife are dreaming right now about a beautiful symphony that I want to dream that saying you are up there are two of these alive but you've got to be very very quiet I would like to sneak over and try to get out of like their eye line I guess I would like to approach them stealthily hide so that I can take a sneak attack a backstab I'd behind Pharaoh's body it's all bullets sorry to be all the way to absolute pain yeah but you're holding the light yeah all right yeah I hand the light to Ellison okay I literally just handed to him Ellison takes it pull out my bow okay and I would like to crouch I don't know if there's a rock I don't know if what the ground looks like but could I hide here feasibly I'm gonna say just give me a stealth check um you know with advantage as usual I want a 15 or higher 14 hard check yeah 14 the hiding in plain sight yeah it should be hard so then I will take a this is really fun to run normal I'll take a normal shot at the one that did not crush its proboscis ah yes one the can suck 18 19 2021 yeah yeah not even 20 a 22 or three yeah some like that shot four yeah accuracy doesn't matter cox four four points in the great shot with the bow locks to Shabu all right but we know it has way more than that come up you try to sneak in it turns to you at the last second but you stick oh do you got a bow yeah from a distance piercet it's just got this arrow sticking out of it Ellison you're holding it off I'm most of it I imagine this all the same with the one you're holding it towards you get double disadvantage double disadvantage I'm gonna die somewhere I'll roll three dice and take four first roll eight read it first roll eight okay 16 and 18 yeah okay uh said that is attacking the one that just she just said that's anxious attacked yes the one that can suck one again sucks one point of down oh you want to use a pump okay okay waric done waric time he's not done waric is not waric not done he it all right we're on to we oh he ran over there and is getting attacked by those things so he'll run over that one that has the arrow sticking out of it and again trying to keep his war cries to a load and not awaken the other ones he's gonna come up with a long sword I'm trying to think if there's anything else to do here but I can't think of anything else I'm gonna take it out I just got to take it out baby okay it's a hit the 14 yet I'm gonna turn it into a crit fuck yeah dude yeah I haven't done that enough I need to do that more I'm gonna max that Damageio which will be which will be when we start getting fancriticals are we can we can we use those on capped crits oh that'd be fun it was eight why are you rolling if it's max damage it's not max it's it's crit it's double down a dice yeah I double damage dice so what's the total it's seven hit points oh my god oh thank god I spent on the crit because like that would not have killed either of those roles would not have killed it okay rion is standing next to the one remaining one that is awake and can't suck we can't suck what a wait worse than death missus gosh darn it rion um rion you suck I'm gonna say that he can't suck Corvon and Regina come in to the room here um but that's all they do I say what's the problem yeah why did you call us the man is to step on each of the sleeve yeah grudge grudge we didn't hear like there's a bunch of rakes the one remaining one uh we'll go after brian can't suck which is good and it misses brian okay same huge all right I'm gonna take another shot okay uh can I I'm gonna try to hide again oh I have to find another a better spot uh I think I should roll another morale track with an advantage yeah you make it to me okay uh I'm gonna try to sneak sneak and hide again same die 16 yeah 16 okay all right so yeah for you make continue this one is distracted it's got its bent per boss kit just trying to like rub it against something here we go come on any sneak spec lines actually like gonzo and mupper Christmas car off he gets the door slam in his face oh yeah that's like flat you like gets down to a knee and swivels right behind warwick and just you comes out from behind warwick who uses you as a a block haha and that's gonna be 22 22 no 22 to hit yes that's it okay come on are you get your sneak attack good roll come on with the ones over here two what two you know what no no I'm gonna use a cap and re-roll that last one okay why don't you just turn it into a crit no you re-roll both well no too late it's too late you re-roll both right oh technically yeah it was the damage roll is two dice runner I'm gonna do it now okay four one five points of damage okay much better better than two better okay Allison magic missile come on natural one and a 15 yeah there we go okay and advantage on that spell is so huge huge four points of damage yeah all right mr. Warwick one powerful magic missile he'll come over trying to slice at it come on baby hit it again yeah come on come on come on baby come on warwick four points of damage three have points left yeah wait we killed the others I said I said but he shut up there's seven of them seven asleep on the ground seven we celebrate silent yeah Corp and re-own all of you even Regina gets one and you start to stamp and it kill it stamp and and kill and and you're out of combat oh my god that was hard okay that was that was harrowing I will now we have to cross the other bridges which is that our healer is down we have no way to browse him and that means our day is effectively we have to drag Pharaoh back out of this entire cave system because you can't heal him right we can't heal him the only way we can the only way he gets a hit point it points back as a big rest we could we could rest in the cave like we could rest in the cave we'd have to build fire I mean fire with four torches I feel like this is where you can argue for whatever high DC check you want to make for your herbalism being something you could find something that would help him I mean I had I had I guess it's one night's rest anyway if you succeed you'll get full hit yeah so I guess doesn't yeah well if I can bring him back he can heal himself for you with the spell all I have to do is be conscious right interesting interesting do you think I can make a case for I don't know what a hard you know intelligence check to give him one hip point using be able to do something that might be able to revive him yeah give him one one one hip point we can use some organic smelling salts give me an intelligence check you know you do the whole beauty of these titles is it should give you the ability to do things that other people can't it's not just for flavor yeah and so it's not game breaking if you were to give him one hip one it's like a good bear yeah but I do think it should be difficult yeah it's not quite hot it's it's not quite extreme but it's in hard territory so I'm gonna give it I'm gonna call on a DC 16 okay eat this natural 17 oh man good berry the classic good bear you get one hit point that's just good old fashioned American fun right there what I do is I I put I put little pulses on the various wounds and then I slap across the face as hard as I know no I I I I and then I yeah I like a smelling salt or something that is yeah I just barely come to eyes are like walled up in his in his sockets and it's just like I start to like I'd like kind of like scratching at these ones like the magic and like how much these must get these like wounds yeah probably inflame up to be like a boil yeah yeah if like pull his hand away like keep him from scratching it and it's kind of get he gets a bearings gets his bearings and eventually he's going to try to heal himself so I'm gonna try a cure spell um my last cat oh oh oh my goodness yeah fail do you want to do it okay so cure is gone for the day all right so we're resting yep so good night I mean it's just it's just one more day well here's the question do we stay in the cave system and do four torches and make a fire or do we I mean it's so I feel like it's so dangerous to stay here if this is where the werewolf yeah clearly in this drippy wet cave how long would it take us to leave to get out um but a couple hours even less than maybe and sorry just to be just to clarify because I think last or two episodes ago when you said the exit to the room you didn't mean there is an exit to the outside no no there's just one way out it's going to this particular room so we probably should not go further no definitely not going further it's too much it is too much do we stay in here or not it's tough I don't think we gotta go I don't think there's any reason to say we can we can get back to the preserve I mean there'll be random encounters to get back probably no the question is like what there be random encounters in here too. Yeah, why is it worse to just stay here? I don't know. Or torches is supposed to be able to fudge for... That's one. Firewood? That's one reason. The where-off could come. That's the main reason I'm thinking. But yeah, anything can come from outside. Traveling out you because you are in the shadow dark. Every time you travel you are gonna have random encounters and when you rest you'll have random encounters. Staying here and resting. You just have the one night random encounter. We better start. Just giving you the sort of mechanics of where I am. Spending the torches. I'm in the torches and let's dive. And do you don't have food? Yes we do. We have food for tonight. That's it. Yeah. And that's it. Awesome. Do the bugs look like we can eat them? Oh yeah? Did he eat spiders? Sting bats? Sting bats? Sting bats? You can eat it. I would. I would. Did you roll the die? It's a high wooden? I'm not sure. I'm like, I would. They're gross. They're like giant mosquitoes. It's supposed to be approaching. It's like a cricket like roast the legs you know and just like yeah but cricket is not a mosquito. Very very different. I've had cricket before. Again cricket. I'm trying. I'm just playing cricket. We're not generally poisonous. Same thing. It's awful disgusting. I think of creatures. You should play cricket. You should be able to eat these things. I think cricket makes you hungry. That's right. I don't know. Well, I think we we we we kind of fade a little bit. We come back up on this crackling fire. Okay so expand those torches. Torches plural. Yeah I've got a few torches here. So I'll throw one in the mix. How many do you need three or four? Well hold on. Can I argue for we need two because I have my torches. That's why I was asking. Yeah. You can you can keep you can throw yours in as well. And I do my extra hour. Okay. All right. So I'll throw one in you throw one in them. We're good and we're good. Okay. So you're just sitting around eating the last of your rations with Corvin Breone. This little feast represents the last of the pitticash. I'm giving you one XP for particularly saints ingenious move to those sting bats off of your healer effectively saving his life. So yeah. That's I think that's what I learned like us getting out of that very sticky situation. Really? Do you have a dryness situation? This is a very interesting situation. I love that you know exactly where it is. You're so good. Immediately. So what is the mood like before you bed down? Terrified? Yeah. Breone by the way was down to four hit points. Okay. Well this boar meat will hopefully get him back up to full. Yeah. I think this is this is my first like real brush with death since the battle. The battle. Yeah. So I think yeah. This thing fair was just like really quiet. It's just it's so devastating when your healer goes down. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. We have to start looking into other means. Other people need a bill of healers. There's so expensive. Yeah. We're to heal him. Oh likely if we survive this we'll have money to buy stuff. Yeah. Yeah. You get a scroll. It's funny. We're like we're sitting on this big payday or multiple paydays. Yeah. We just have to like survive and get back. Yeah. To a town. Yeah. And it's just these kids if it wasn't the kids. Yeah. We'd be on our way back. Not saying we'd survive the journey back. We might have faced 20 sting bats on the way. Yeah. Yeah. Um oh. And I just keep scratching. I just keep scratching at this these these wounds. They're probably healed by now. Oh no we haven't healed. Right. See still. No. We've all got them. Yeah. Everyone's on scratch. Yeah. Don't scratch. Don't scratch. Ah. Oh that's so itchy. Oh. Maybe could I maybe I'll I'll flavor like apply it like a ball. A hydro-quarter zone of the past. Allo. Yes. Mallow. Blooming Allo. Blooming Allo. And I think Saint is um from the bore. They had the meat that he had like smoked or something. So he's like heating it up by the fire and that's like our ration. Um so he's laying out these strips of of bore meat and maybe like chewing on one. Um it's very gristly. Um and as you're scratching and stuff. He says remember when uh well I don't know if if yours did but when my putune passed through the uh swamps almost everybody got the uh the wet foot. Did you guys get that in your boots? Yeah. Swamp foot. Swamp foot. Nasty stuff. Full of day swamp foot. Kind of reminds me of that. I shouldn't scratch it though. Remember one guy. I mean man he pulled his boot and he's like eating while talking about this. Pull his boot off. It's like his whole fucking foot came with it. Yeah a lot of mosquitoes there too. Small ones though. Not like these. I've never seen anything like this. She's a big. He's a pretty big mosquitoes. Do you think they they just live here in the werewolf just sort of randomly came to this place? It's saying it's looking up at the ceiling and it looked like they were like nests right? They're like nesting in the in the ceiling. Yeah that's gross. Moisture here probably creates a fungus that they can feed off of some nice little food supply up there. Nothing you'd want to eat. Maybe uh standing water. Maybe they don't like uh the taste of dogs. Maybe dim bother it. The werewolf. Maybe and uh I don't know they cohabitate. You know what I mean? Yeah that's what I'm wondering. How does the werewolf get by these things? It's the creature of the shadow dark. Maybe they ignore each other. Maybe they can't hurt it. Maybe they can't hurt it. Which uh sort of chilling thought for us. Regina and Rihanna and Corvina just watching you and Regina's like nibbling at her or and she says is this this normal for you all? No we've never been here before but have been to this place. Seems so so nonchalant about all these horrible encounters we face problems on the road and you know maybe they've escalated as of late but this is what you're just accustomed to just not all of us. A lunging and fighting beasts. Not all of us could sit behind our pretty walls and our pretty towns while a war raged. Not all of us were fit for fighting. Okay it. That just, all of this is like just like completely turned off for Regina at this point. It's like it was like massive war. I'd heard it be like it's normal? No! Obviously not. Oh sucks. Our lives have been terrible. Satan's just like picking meat out of his teeth. You act as if we chose to have your war come and infect our lands. Wasn't my war? Wasn't my war either. Why'd you fight in it? Haha. We're left with. I always left with precious little choice I certainly didn't want to. You think people sign up willingly for these things and he looks over at work? I did. I believed that you could put a blame someone blame him. Right. So it would be on the right side of things. It's like sharpening his sword. Were you? Yeah. I was. I used to be. Trying to be now. I don't know anything about these creatures, these beasts. But I know like lifts up the sword and slowly points it to the opening on the other side. Marin and Barnaby are through that town somewhere. As far as I'm thinking. I know. Kind of a place is this. Are these caves that they just always existed? Something very strange about this. I mean it's a cave. They're caves. But I'm unusual about that. I've seen giant spiders before. You've never seen a giant spider before? Her tail. Thankfully. No. These things I've never seen. Look like bats. They're mosquitoes. The world is just full of these old hidden places. It's what I get back home. Realne. How's your neck? Oh, um. It's okay. Meets. Picking me. Not think too much about it. It's horrible. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm not used to wielding this. Unwielded. It's sickle. It's a farmer's weapon. But I used to wield it. Sword. It's a cultist. Took our weapons. We're schnail than we're here. He would have been useful. I think like Barrow thinks about them. The memory of banishing his ghost. That thing that took his form. He just kind of like hugs his knees up to his chest. We should probably have watches. I'll go first if folks are tired. I don't mind. Yeah. Agreed. I fell asleep along the wall here. And um, I think everybody sleep on the outside of them. Anything comes through here. We want to make sure he's behind us. Yeah, I'm still like really rough shape. I'm probably like super pale. I lost a ton of blood. Yeah. And just like kind of trembling and hollow eyes. And then your Cure spell is evading you. Yeah. You don't know why. Yeah. I can't. Yeah. Comes and goes. Oh, get some rest. And dumb. And yeah, I'm just going to sleep right next to you. Like the wall on one side of you and I'm on the other side of you just to be in that position. Other. Fixed boom. And he lays his armor down on the ground next to him. And um, he's going to sleep in a, in like a suit of leather. He takes his chain mail off to sleep. And so you go to sleep, setting your watch. I think probably pre-owned in Corvon. Take a turn with some of you or his Regina. Just sleeps. So like you see the sunrise, but enough time passes where you regain your strength. Okay. Thankfully, nothing comes for you. Each of us do a watch. She'd have a sleep and well, he fire starts to die out. And you're then bathed in darkness. Oh, somebody's got a light. I'm going to cast light. I make it. Oh, my crossbow again. Shhh. Morning light. Yeah. Light of a miniature don. Perhaps we need two sources at all times. It's not a terrible idea. Well, it only went out because we forgot about the timer. Not only went out because I wasn't looking at Foundry. Foundry. Works as a. Forge time. In a talix. In his head. But set the timer. Yeah, I just did. I just did. Okay, so awesome. Okay. We'll start packing up our camp. There's still just residual Borshit. My head roll. Oh, yeah. So we've now we're not on this three. We have three racks. He just falls asleep. Smell of shit. Like you know what? And it's just like like a tiny little bit of shit. Oh, it's the worst. And it's no different than the smell of five pounds of shit. Yeah. Yeah. It's like picking it off the bottom of your shoe every day. Where's the coming from? I thought I had all of it. It's in between the teeth of a zipper. I do love that we've continued the canon that zippers exist. Yeah. In this world, zippers. That was an important part of the recap that we didn't mention is that there are closest roads with zippers. zippers. zippers. zippers. zippers. Holy all the way down except they had a fly. Well, they were all men. They had a certain going. Someone must have said you know what? I don't make this a lot of need to lift up. They have them by rope. I don't want to just hang out all day. That would just put something there. Super convenient. zipper. Yeah. Full rope. All right. zipper. You're welcome. Start packing up camp. Stop roleplaying. The torches lit. Yes. Okay. We're moving. We move towards our objective. We keep going. Checking for traps. I'm not trying to get a dress. Saint is in front. We are we doing two sources of light. I have I have got I think two torches. I need my hands. So no, I won't be doing one. No, for now. Okay. I am checking for. I think because with the light spell, we don't. Yeah. Do you have a torch on you? Yes. Unlit torch on you. Yes. I have one as well. And as long as I'm up, I can in all likelihood, possibly make a light spell happen again. Right. Okay. Okay. All right. So you've got light spell and one torch or you're just doing light. Just like stick with the one thing now. Corvine and Brione get up the stretching. Practice them with their sickle. This doesn't count towards our torch. We're going. Which is like 10 more minutes. No. Let's talk about it for me. Let's remember the torches game time and not real time. That's right. All right. So the torch is real time. Real time. Yeah. All right. So 45 minutes later, you ready to leave and you make your way towards the leisurely breakfast. Try it. For omelets, you make your way towards the one one way out. The one way fun way out. It'd be very interesting. And I'll think about this. How far are you actually traveling? Is there a dude trying to travel all the way back? I shouldn't even say this a lot. Let's forget that. So you've been traveling for a while. And this next portion of the cavern takes you even deeper. And now you're at the point where you don't know if you're going up, down, left, right. You've lost all sense of direction because of the twists and turns. You haven't had to deal with any more like super thin moments. In fact, at a certain point, the cave system begins to feel almost too orderly at a certain point. You're going deeper in and everything. Like something dug this. Yeah, it just seems like maybe this cave formation formed around something at a certain point. It just the rooms have a certain shape to them, even though the walls are all rocky and one. And then eventually you get into a space that strikes you because as your light shines along the walls, you notice almost like peeking through this uninterrupted rock on the walls, remnants of what looks like an old stone column. And it's in ruins. It's sort of like hune at the top. But very clearly, it looks like there must have been a pillar here that held up a ceiling that is no longer there. And as you're taking this in, you see a figure on the other side of the room, deeper within the chamber, just standing there, motionless. Roll for initiative. Okay. Oh, so note. Roll for initiative. Talking will start after initiative. 13. I almost think I should use a cap to reroll, but no. You got a 13. Okay. 9. 2. 2. What do you do, Faroe? Faroe is going to raise his crossbow. And say, who goes there? The extent of your light spell just barely spills on this figure. It doesn't respond. I'm sorry. Humanoid? Humanoid. Humanishesize? Humano smaller. Smaller. It doesn't respond. It doesn't move towards you. It just stays there, backlit. Almost like you were. Is it a statue? The lights were off. Is it a statue? Is it moving? It's not moving. You approach? Yeah, I'm going to get just close enough that I can fully bathe it in full light. Faroe breaks from the pack, slowly inches forward, the light spilling from your crossbow in every direction until dim light reveals a stone statue, the dwarf. Great holes for Eduardo Doth. Let's see. Say. Saint will follow Faroe when he walks forward. Bo raised, but then lowers it a little bit as we see that it's an animate and not a human. But then Saint will also immediately spin around and look around to see if this is some sort of trap. Look for like any sign of a trap, anything that you could walk into or lead the party into. You don't see anything. And as we get closer to the statue, does it look preserved? Water has sort of worn its surface away. The moisture in here has worn its surface away so that its features are not completely distinguishable, but you can see that it's like... It's facing us. Yeah, it's facing you. And it's right near sort of the exit out of this chamber. Yeah, out of this chamber. Like on one side of what might have been a passageway or something, but there's nothing on the other side. And you do see that it's like a male dwarf, dwarf in figure, wearing armor and clothing, the likes of which you've never seen. The kill quietly, but call back to the group and say, it's a statue. Waves. Is it trapped? No. And he's kind of looking around. It doesn't feel unsafe now. He's like, no. I think this used to be... I don't know. A hall, a town, a city. A city of the duores. A deep city. Now listen, I also want to look around for a secret, jambers, hiding spots, both for treasure. You end for the missing children. Frag. All right, so you explore the room a little bit more. And you see like... They call flagstones. With flagstones on the floor. On the floor ground? Yeah. You see like one or two flagstones that are just sort of... Like randomly throughout the room. Two of them. Like there used to be like a great floor here or something, but all that remains. But these two fossils essentially of remnants. Or remnants of what a pop-up hall. So there are remnants fossils. You know fossils isn't the right word, but that's how old it feels. Like this is like a remnant of a time-long past. Relics. You try to like stand out and look at the wide room. You can kind of picture like maybe this was once a... A great hall, but it's just this room column statue. There used to be a couple of light. Yeah, so if that's all I see, then maybe we'll... Else I'm going to urge the group forward. Okay. We actually do find some treasure. Oh! Twerven treasure. Twerven treasure. Yeah, I say treasure, but I use the term loosely. The real treasure was the twelfth and ruins we met along the way. You find this moldy like coffer. Like a wooden coffer. One side of the room. And you pop it open. And it has a 20. The equivalent of what would be 20 gold pieces. But it's there like maybe all the other and the warwick ruins on them. Oh cool. That's going to be another XP. Oh! Um, we want to mark that in the treasure. I mean, that's an item we have to carry. Yeah. I have room. I, I don't like carrying it, but we'll have to... Oh no, because what's coinage? So is it a coin? Well the coffer itself, it's moldy, but maybe someone... a collector of antiquities would be interested in it. But the gold, the these dwarven coins you could add to your... If you're not add 100 coins. You could hold on to it. But it's up to you if you want to keep the coffer, the coffer would take up a slot. I can take this. I can take that. Let's take it because I want you. I'll take the coffer. Okay. I'm up to 4 XP. Wow. Nice. Warwick. You see this statue. This ancient warrior, perhaps, Saint John warrior who... much like you may have given his life or cause. But the cause of his people, it's just staring at you across the room. What do you do? Yeah, he's going to go up and examine it. He's known quite a few dwarves, not only in the army, but also from his home. So he's, he enjoys their company and hasn't seen too many in the gloaming so far. So yeah, he comes up and looks around the ceiling and then moves closer toward the statue itself. Yeah, I guess I'll just... I'll examine, I mean, I know it's worn away from the water and stuff, but I'll look for any sort of, even if it's on the wall or the floor, any sort of name or a plate, identifier, anything that might say who this honored dwarf is. Hmm. You look and you see it at the base of this misshapen pedestal that it's sitting on very low pedestal. It looks like there might have been something that's there at one time in a language. I don't know if you know a dwarf. I actually don't recall. I don't think I do. It's one of the languages you can't take, but I don't think you took... I know, d'Orbish. Oh, yeah. Oh. So it's a little hard to fully see. But if you don't know d'Orbish, you could point it out to Saint or ask, hey, does everyone speak d'Orbish? Saint kind of waits for somebody else. I can understand it when it's being spoken, but I don't know the written language. I do. Look here, it's quite worn away, but can you read that? It might be a name, it might be hard to read, but... He kind of like feels it as he's thinking, trying to remember the d'Orbian alphabet out of context, and like what this might say. As you run your fingers along the runes that are just like almost rubbed away through time, trying to figure out what this says, making sense of the letters in your mind. And both you and Wark hear a sound like metal grinding on metal stone rubbing on stone, and you look up and it's coming from the statue. Oh. As the statue's jaw starts to move and speak. And we'll see in a while. Oh, my God. Oh, man. It's so freaking awesome. That's so cool, but why am I so scared? I know. I'm scared too. I'm scared of Troy's gravely door voice.
