2:46

Now. This

3:30

episode as of

3:32

March. Twenty

3:34

four weeks ago, you'd think of old

3:36

marts. Ah, Julius

3:39

Caesar. The Ides of March

3:41

yards of more. Did you read that play

3:43

in the school? I. Did not

3:45

have like Shakespeare? You mean as yeah I

3:47

guess I did For comes yeah I did.

3:50

I. Did rebound remember anything about it? of I'd

3:52

spoil remember having to read it and Seeds

3:54

or Die All come on my mind I

3:56

do. You gotta warn people with a tag

3:58

on a name, a salad. after him in

4:00

the epilogue. That's right.

4:03

That's exactly what happened. That's a true

4:05

legacy. Period accurate. That was, I

4:07

did, my classical monologue was from,

4:09

one of the ones I did was from that show. Do

4:12

you remember any of it? It was Anthony Spitz's. Friends are

4:14

with cover. Can we go full on? Can

4:17

we go spotlight? Yeah. I

4:19

come to honor, I come to bury Caesar,

4:21

not to praise him. The

4:24

good that men do lives after them. The

4:27

evil that men do lives after them. The good is often

4:29

tarried with their bones. So let it be

4:31

with Caesar. You all did

4:33

see that here upon the lupicol, I did thrice

4:35

present him a kingly crown, which he did thrice

4:37

refuse. Was this ambition? Yes.

4:42

Some, I don't know, some. Hey, that was pretty

4:44

good. That was really good. That was really good.

4:46

Listen, egg yolk, Worcestershire sauce. What

4:48

was your, what was your? These are some of the ingredients.

4:50

What was your classical monologue? I was going to say, was

4:52

that your classical, bro? That was the classical, yeah. I had

4:54

a couple I had communicated dramatic. I

4:57

think I did, got stand up for bastards

4:59

was my, that was my dramatic

5:01

for a while. And then my comedic was

5:04

the, from

5:06

Midsummer Night's Dream, the Player King, not

5:08

the Player King, that's Hamlet, the Akiba. No,

5:11

he's doing the, he's

5:13

introducing everyone. Oh,

5:15

Porkins? Porkins? I can't fucking wait. The Hamlet

5:17

speech? No, no, in Midsummer Night's Dream, when

5:19

the guy is telling, he's basically introducing the

5:22

play and he tells the entire plot of

5:24

the play. Oh, yeah, Primus and Disney. I

5:27

would act all the way. I was really funny. I

5:29

did King John. King John? Do

5:32

fairly Hubert for so foul effect. Must

5:34

you with hot irons burn out both my eyes?

5:37

Oh, instantly dramatic. He just got the part.

5:40

When two, when two of

5:42

the sessions of sweet silent thought, I

5:45

summon up a remembrance of things past. I

5:48

sigh a lack of many a thing I saw him with old

5:50

woe, new whale my dear times

5:52

waste. Then can I grieve

5:55

at grievances for gone? I forget the rest. Oh,

5:58

that's a Dexter. That's

6:00

lost. That's from lost. Lost.

6:03

I was watching them both at the same

6:06

time. What do you think of

6:08

when you think of March, Sydney? My birthday. Your

6:10

birthday's in March? Son of a gun. Get

6:12

out of here. A big 2-0. This

6:15

year, try the big 3-0. Oh,

6:17

wow. Right? This

6:19

is the year? What

6:22

date so I can be busy? I'll dox myself in

6:24

case anybody wants to send me a gift or whatever. It's

6:28

a fun date. I turn 30th and I turn 30. Ah,

6:31

30 for 30. 30 for 30. Oh,

6:34

yeah. She's right. Is it in your calendar? It

6:36

is in my calendar. You're the big birthday

6:38

guy. Yes. Every

6:41

time I hear someone, this is my birthday, I

6:43

always put it in my calendar. You're

6:46

the best friend in the world though because then you know everybody,

6:48

you actually know everybody's birthday. That's nice. Yeah.

6:51

Kate, what do you think of March? Say

6:55

my birthday because now you have to say my birthday. Say

6:58

birthday but it's not yours. Taylor

7:02

Hanson's birthday is March 14th. No. No,

7:05

you don't. Are you talking about

7:07

the Hanson brother, Taylor Hanson? Kate.

7:09

Give me the bad dude, right?

7:11

He's a real bad dude. Yeah,

7:14

I mean obviously

7:16

now they're not

7:18

cool but when I was growing

7:20

up I was definitely a Hanson

7:23

squirrel and really liked Taylor. So

7:25

what would you do on his birthday? Just like light

7:28

candles around you and summon him? Hi

7:31

there. I love you so much. Putting

7:33

silver dust on the ground and

7:35

you lyrical. Bop.

7:39

Bop. Come to me. So

7:42

many relationships in this life. Taylor,

7:45

maybe he'll come to you on your birthday

7:47

on August 28th. Oh,

7:49

no. Oh, no. August 29th. Yeah,

7:51

August 29th. Okay. I'll

7:54

fix my, which is, and my sister's birthday.

7:56

You know why you thought that? Because it's

7:58

a leap year. Oh. Yeah, that's

8:00

the thing. Everyone in the

8:03

room has a half birthday. I don't

8:05

get one because there's never a February 29th. Oh,

8:09

well there is. So there is this year. Every

8:12

four years there is a February 29th. She's still

8:14

on the Julian calendar going back to her half life. Oh

8:16

my god. Kate doesn't

8:18

do daylight savings time and she's not using

8:20

the Gregorian calendar. You also have to divide 29 by half.

8:23

I really want to just mess up just a minute.

8:27

So on February 13.5, it's on February 27th. Matthew,

8:32

March, does that evoke anything for you? My sister's birthday is

8:34

in March. That's the number one thing you think I'm going

8:36

to think of March? Like shit, got to get her a

8:38

card or a gift? My birthday is March 1st. Oh,

8:41

coming up. So what

8:43

do you think of on March 2nd on? Growing

8:48

up it was about time for vacation.

8:52

Because it was like we'd been, it was the brutality

8:54

of winter and no breaks except for President's Day and you're

8:56

just like, oh, March is a slog. And then you

8:58

finally get the spring break. In college

9:00

it's March, but in high school,

9:02

elementary school, April was usually the

9:04

spring break, right? Did we get

9:07

a spring break? Yeah. In high

9:09

school? We do? I don't

9:11

think we had a spring break. You didn't have

9:13

a spring break? No, I don't think so. I'm

9:15

sorry, a spring recess. I don't remember.

9:17

Maybe. But it was always a, it was just Easter

9:19

break basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was just a

9:21

couple days. It was never like a full week, I

9:23

don't think. I feel like Catholic school we

9:25

had like, you know, Monday, Thursday

9:28

straight into Good Friday, like don't go

9:30

long Easter break, but then we'd

9:32

also get a week off. Midwinter break. Midwinter

9:35

break? Midwinter, yeah. Now in New

9:37

York, kids have a week off

9:39

in February and a week off in April. Yes.

9:41

They start to go to school until like July,

9:43

something stupid. Yeah, same thing in Jersey. It drives

9:45

me insane. So it drives me insane. Wait,

9:48

when do you want to hear something ridiculous? Yeah. I

9:50

do. I just really pissed me off. So last year

9:52

there were no snow days because there was just no

9:54

snow in the Northeast. And they decided

9:57

that they needed to trickle like these days

9:59

off in. And on Memorial

10:01

Day weekend they decided that they would burn

10:03

one of the snow days so that the

10:05

kids just had off. And

10:08

instead of doing that on the Friday of

10:10

Memorial Day weekend they did it on Tuesday

10:12

the day after Memorial Day when everybody has

10:15

to go back to work and they got

10:17

to deal with kids at home. What

10:20

is wrong with you like what are you thinking

10:22

you know what they do now snow

10:24

days they don't get the day off anymore it's not just

10:27

a remote learning day. Oh my God people were

10:29

and then they weren't set up for it

10:31

in the city to hear about this no

10:33

I didn't know that they were not equipped

10:35

like they didn't have the infrastructure in place

10:37

so no one could log on. Everyone was

10:39

angry gross I'm sure all those kids were

10:41

furious yeah some teachers were mentioned like fuck

10:44

it just go enjoy the snow yeah just

10:46

go go sledding for God's sake. Oh gross

10:48

let's go get what

10:51

do you think on the school. Education.

10:58

March what is March one

11:01

thing well two things I think March

11:04

madness yeah you go on that spring

11:06

train up that one and spring training

11:08

pitches and catches and catches February but

11:10

yeah March actually think I can really

11:12

it's like spring is right on the

11:14

horizon once you hear March. Yeah

11:17

I've always every year I threatened

11:19

to go down to Florida for

11:21

Met spring training I've never I've always wanted to

11:23

do it I've never let's go same you really

11:25

should that's a good bucket list yeah I've always

11:28

wanted to go to my mom my sister every

11:30

year you want to go I would love to

11:32

go where is it is none of it. Yeah

11:36

that's the thing that sucks is like their

11:38

opposite coast because we got going to go

11:40

and stadium yeah yeah maybe they play each

11:42

other though I feel like ours are close

11:44

to where in Clearwater. So I

11:47

feel like I close I think it's close to

11:49

Fort Myers I think it's on that end yeah

11:51

I think you're of course yours foundry said what

11:53

is like in Naples or something labels right near

11:55

four miles. We

11:57

could roll some dice watch some bass. ball

12:00

crash at their house. Yeah, we I always

12:02

want to go because you forget that though

12:18

March is the start of spring, they

12:20

do spring training in Florida because it is

12:22

still winter here for all of March.

12:24

I used to go freezing and raining

12:26

all the time. The most effective is

12:28

to go down and get some early spring.

12:32

My brother and I would always go to the first

12:34

Red Sox game at Fenway. If it was opening day,

12:36

we'd like maybe wait till day two. First

12:39

week April in Boston, it's freezing. Oh yeah,

12:41

it's so cold. It's so cold.

12:45

It's terrible weather for baseball. I love those April

12:47

games though. It's terrible weather

12:50

like nobody's there. The

12:52

really sneaky ones are the September games. I work

12:55

one year, everyone

12:57

was going to a Detroit Yankees game. I was like,

12:59

oh, I watch the Tigers. I went and it was

13:02

September and we were wearing shorts. Then

13:04

you get there and the temperature drops around 9 p.m.

13:07

so everyone's all excited for the game and then

13:09

about an hour and a half in it's suddenly

13:11

freezing. Everyone's like, can't

13:14

move. It'll

13:16

be warm before you know it. Winter will be over.

13:18

What I think of March is

13:20

we are one month closer to November

13:23

1st. I think

13:25

of one month closer to celebrating

13:32

Christmas. I'm going to say closer to

13:34

December 1st, but I forget. I forgot. Then he ends

13:36

it the day before

13:39

like a psychopath. No,

13:42

I celebrate Christmas Day. I'm not

13:44

saying. Celebrate Christmas morning.

13:47

By noon he starts ripping things up and

13:50

a drunken rage. Wasted at noon. In

13:52

full morning. This

14:01

kid's gonna have such a complicated

14:03

relationship with Christmas, because all this

14:05

enthusiasm leading up to it and

14:07

all this tragedy will happen. I

14:09

have such a complicated relationship with

14:11

anything Troy likes. Because

14:13

when you're in the flush with it and you

14:15

don't have to live with him, it's great. You're

14:18

riding around him and then all

14:20

this firey intensity of like that

14:23

just consumes him. And he's always

14:25

there. He's like, I can't

14:27

come down here and hang out in other places

14:29

anymore. He's always at the house. It's

14:32

like going out to drink with Troy. I'll

14:35

say, we have our issues, but it's

14:37

wonderful for the first drink or two. Oh,

14:40

it's so nice. And then he just goes tunnel vision on

14:42

his phone, weighing at

14:44

the bar, issuing nasty comments, saying

14:46

things to the TV. I

14:49

do a magnastic thing. He just

14:51

gambles. Okay, he just gambles. I

14:55

mean, seriously, we're in India at Denkai. We're

14:59

sitting there and he's just like, what's on? College

15:02

women's volleyball. And he's

15:04

like, they got it. They got it.

15:07

It's amazing even seeing it roll. Like we had a

15:09

big group roll sitting around having a good time laughing.

15:11

He's on his phone, like he's on his phone being

15:13

anti-social. And eventually we're like, what are you

15:15

doing? That's Berkeley College of Music.

15:17

What are you doing? That's

15:21

a front vibe. How's their field hockey team looking

15:23

this year? But

15:26

it is fun to come out with him because

15:28

he really likes going out right now. That's

15:30

great. Yeah. I don't get to go out

15:32

that often anymore. I have a lot of

15:34

children. Special treat. Yeah.

15:36

Coming here though, that's a great one. So

15:40

what happens... Troy, what is your version of what happens every

15:42

time we break for lunch? Um,

15:45

I... We all go outside and

15:48

you guys go one way and I go another

15:50

way. Every time. No matter what way we go.

15:53

I wait to see where you guys go and

15:56

then I go front by front. So I ask this all

15:58

like, what are you going to get? What are you thinking? And then

16:00

we're like, what are you thinking? He just walks

16:02

in a different direction than what we did. I'm thinking

16:05

something different. Something else. That's his commitment to

16:07

this sort of dramatically adversarial

16:09

relationship that we have for the show.

16:11

It's just like in Saving Private Ryan,

16:13

where it's like they sent all of

16:16

the actors to boot camp except for

16:18

Matt Damon. Yeah. They feel

16:20

like an outsider when they were filming it. That's what

16:22

he's doing. Yeah, and Matt Damon. So

16:24

you're very, you're a method. You remind me of

16:26

Matt Damon. Where was Matt Damon from? Fasten.

16:30

Fasten. I bet you he loves

16:32

Christmas too. I'd probably. Yeah, but you know

16:34

what? We don't have to just single out Troy because producer Francis as

16:36

well is. I've never seen him eat just a bite alone in there.

16:38

He never eats. When you go in you're like, hey, you want to

16:40

talk? He's like, oh, no. This is me, Con. I don't know, but

16:42

for some reason it's more normal. Listen to you and a microphone in

16:44

my ear. I don't want to do it in my lunch break. For

16:46

some reason it's more normal. Yeah, Francis does it in a normal way.

16:48

Troy does it in a combative way. I just want to eat. You

16:51

have to get up back there. You have to get up back there. You have

16:53

to get up back there. Same

16:59

place you guys order from. Because it's too many

17:01

people in there. We come back here and eventually we all

17:03

eat together. You just won't. But I'm all done. I'm

17:06

already done. Yeah, it's weird. He's

17:08

back on. He's waiting. I'm like, guys

17:10

ready? Eat all your apps. Eat all your apps.

17:13

I like to eat

17:15

alone. Some

17:18

people like to be alone. Something wrong with

17:20

that. Eat alone. I like to drink alone.

17:22

Oh, shit. Also, March

17:24

25th anniversary of the destruction of the One

17:26

Ring. Oh.

17:28

That's right. I do remember that. Do they use

17:31

the same calendar? They

17:33

do. Like, it's sort of

17:35

because, like, part of the conceit of the

17:37

book is that it's translated into English. It

17:39

is like an original work written

17:42

in different languages. It's like the red

17:44

book of West March translated into it.

17:46

So they translate the dates into

17:48

a calendar that we would recognize. So

17:51

it's March 25th. That's accurate. Wow.

17:54

Well, that's March for you. That

17:56

about sums her up. That's March for you. That sums

17:58

her up. But as usual, I always... always comes

18:00

back to how weird I am. Stick

18:02

around after the break. Maybe I'll be

18:05

here, maybe I won't. Maybe

18:07

I'll walk the other way. This

18:18

would I do if I had an extra

18:20

hour in the day? Let me thank you.

18:22

You know what I would do? I would

18:24

finish that screenplay. I would finally finish that

18:26

screenplay that I haven't started yet. You can

18:28

write a whole screenplay in an hour,

18:32

right? You know what? I probably actually would

18:34

just get another hour into Baldur's Gate 3.

18:36

But a lot of us spend our lives

18:38

wishing we had more time. The question is,

18:40

time for what? If time was unlimited, how

18:42

would you use it? The best

18:44

way to squeeze that special thing into your schedule

18:46

is to know what's important to you and make

18:48

it a priority. Therapy can help

18:50

more of it. I've talked a

18:55

lot about my experiences with therapy

18:57

myself. It's helped me a lot

18:59

in my life and it's helped

19:02

me in ways that I couldn't have envisioned

19:04

before starting it. It's been really

19:06

great just having someone like that to talk to.

That's betterhelphlp.com/GCN. We're

19:41

back. Want to give a big

19:43

shout out to our sponsors, of

19:45

course, Foundry, VTT, Source Foundry, and

19:48

Demiplane. Demiplane produces these amazing character

19:50

sheets where you can remove weapon

19:52

runes you shouldn't have had in

19:54

the first episode. That's true. Which

19:56

is what Sydney did between last

19:59

week's episode. With the click of a

20:01

button, you can remove cheating runes

20:03

from your weapon. What made you

20:05

think you had such a thing? I

20:10

just think that my

20:12

character, my creatively made

20:14

character, had this cool weapon.

20:16

And it's maybe part of their backstory. I don't

20:18

know. I guess you have to figure it out. She would have one.

20:20

She had one. And when I

20:23

sent my character sheet to our

20:25

beloved GM, who most

20:27

certainly looked it over. Never seen it.

20:30

Also, it was never sent to me. It's

20:33

very possible it was never sent to you. She

20:35

does draft emails and she doesn't send them. That's

20:37

the just after the last time. I think I

20:39

would put it at 50-50 odds. 50-50. That Sydney sent

20:41

it and you never looked at it. And then Sydney didn't. I'd

20:43

also like to put money on 50-50 odds. I'm 100% sure it

20:45

was never sent. Regardless. Where's

20:47

your email right now? I won't hear the answer. Regardless.

20:50

I'll get tired. Joe

20:52

and I were talking. And you know, it's cool.

20:55

Like, yes, she could have this weapon. It's a

20:57

plus one, like, to hit. It's really not

20:59

that crazy of a bonus that I added. There

21:01

are much higher potency runes, you know? What

21:05

is your argument? At least I didn't give myself a greater striking

21:07

rune. Go ahead and put it for myself. A

21:09

gun. Who's right there on gun? I

21:11

could have put it for myself. She's like

21:13

gaslighting us right now. You

21:16

did. You should have thanked me. It's

21:18

weird. My katana's also a gun. I

21:21

did you as a fever. But I

21:23

was just going to say I was wrong. I

21:25

checked my email, by the way. No email. I checked my

21:27

email. But Joe mentioned

21:29

a good point that within, you

21:31

know, the game of Pathfinder 2e

21:34

and the way that you level up and stuff,

21:36

you wouldn't necessarily be able to get this until

21:38

level three. You can get a striking, I think,

21:41

at level four. It's

21:43

just typically, it's not that you can. The rules

21:45

don't prevent you. But that's just generally how it

21:47

would have. The way it flows in a pre-written

21:49

AP. Right. So I don't want to disrupt the pre-written

21:51

AP. I just think that it

21:54

was a cool thing that maybe my character had from her

21:56

past or whatever. Dude, if you want to put a

21:58

flavor rule on your weapon. It up. So.

22:00

Get a flavor room for weapon looks really.

22:02

Cool being a pain that is

22:04

like no assets power supply mother.

22:06

Actually now something cool might happen

22:08

that. Reignite. Exactly. That's

22:11

what the sorting while his bus represent right

22:13

I guess is that your assets such as

22:15

the gold your own. He could have inherited

22:17

a or found a really cool weapons right

22:20

which is like what you can do when

22:22

you start new know. Sometimes

22:24

started syllable character you know yeah and it

22:26

started this character which was store and bought

22:28

the since it.gold member discount a represents like

22:30

years with they came in with from either

22:32

their adventures or was passed down to them

22:35

or whatever sort of what you're doing it

22:37

from first saw the you can have to

22:39

pass down. Slavery shit

22:41

and heirlooms as opposed to actually think

22:43

that's a different note in weapons that

22:45

our of we're starting from first level

22:47

yeah and. That's that's the difference. Here's.

22:50

The drawback is that they give. We've.

22:52

Had this character now for ten episodes

22:54

so for the next ten episodes or

22:56

the minus one dollar of your attacks

22:58

to even out the plus one the

23:00

to god for the past ten episodes

23:02

so can we just hundred free agent

23:05

has like Snyder I did my research

23:07

guard share attracting have episode twenty five

23:09

to thirty four incident the same. Minus

23:13

one.in cities, events or we learned

23:15

last week as though she gave

23:17

it yourself separately didn't apply the

23:19

reply. As it turns out, I'm

23:21

succeeded. With as a mechanical of as

23:23

you say that it matters Unseated. Real

23:27

real mess. Up!

23:30

Ah. Man.

23:39

I thought I. Said

23:42

Now I think at this as

23:44

mad as as anybody gets about.

23:46

like my mom and dad said

23:48

our listeners that like of heights

23:50

I nerf myself more than I

23:53

help myself and I didn't want

23:55

everyone. As preserve our than that I

23:57

would agree with and yeah. I do some pretty

23:59

sick it. tricks. I

24:01

will take it off. It's no longer on

24:04

my character sheet. I love the flavor of

24:06

the... It's an old rune in this katana,

24:08

this red rune carved in. That's

24:10

something to think about. It's like, why is it

24:13

dormant or broken and what do you have

24:15

to do thematically to kind of

24:17

restore it? So much more interesting. Did you

24:19

find this katana maybe belong to a once

24:21

great warrior? Did you steal it?

24:23

I can't. Did you steal another family?

24:26

I think that's probably something more radical. And then an MRI?

24:28

Like killed a child and then ran away? It's cool

24:30

though. Like why can't I activate the rune? Is

24:32

it not my katana? Was it not my katana?

24:34

Are you not wise enough? Can it only be activated

24:36

by... Am I not smart enough yet? Well, do it level

24:38

wise. No, exactly. No, exactly. Can

24:41

it only be activated if you're found worthy? Oh.

24:45

See, this writes itself. I'm

24:47

doing Troy's job. What are you doing? What

24:51

are you doing? You want some

24:54

money? When you come up

24:56

with a backstory theme, you should make it

24:58

about this. I'm going to email you this

25:00

time for real. Okay. Check

25:04

my email every two and a half minutes. Actually

25:07

email you. We

25:10

were talking about Sydney and her emailing and

25:12

the drafting and I literally just updated version

25:14

of her character sheet. I sent her previously

25:16

and she was like, I don't have that

25:18

updated version. I was like, I sent it

25:20

to you. Oh, let me see. And I

25:22

give her the date in the email. It's like two almost

25:25

two months ago when I sent it to her. And

25:27

she's like, oh yeah, I have a

25:30

draft email that says thank you. And was

25:32

never sent. What were

25:34

you waiting for? Thank

25:37

you. What

25:40

is that theme? I'm going to

25:42

hold off. I want to see

25:44

if this feeling of gratitude is

25:46

sick. I'm in my emotions right

25:48

now. I

25:51

don't want to do that. I'll send it

25:53

later. Am I thankful? My

25:57

Parents always told me. That

26:00

to be to quit saying. Goes.

26:04

Away at always and point out like

26:06

that was to say he's or I

26:08

didn't say that it's a something with

26:10

millennial move. Of girls as

26:12

young kids. If I didn't tell you that you.

26:15

Dot getting back to the story

26:18

please. Bit of backstory. Ah the

26:20

the episode last week featured you

26:22

examine the echelon the observers you

26:24

talking about this gallery of images,

26:26

moving images that you saw. I'm

26:29

trying to interpret what you've lost

26:31

so far from Texas emotional situation

26:33

I would call motion pictures. Ah

26:35

what you try to interpret what

26:38

you saw, how connected what you've

26:40

learned thus far in the adventure

26:42

and then also trying to figure

26:44

what you still don't know. You

26:46

then walked into another room with

26:49

seem to be the studio of

26:51

the artist it was creating these

26:53

paintings and one painting was left

26:55

unfinished. The next masterpiece that showed.

26:58

People sitting on a. Throne

27:02

with all these dead outs riding

27:04

in the street. Dislike the other

27:06

moving paintings this one's even though

27:08

still on skits form was moving

27:10

as well. And the hell this?

27:13

We're now joined by humans towards

27:15

gnomes and all manner of creatures

27:17

to the bus Enemies are no

27:19

longer. the elves seems so much

27:21

more. Attention. He

27:23

bo. Themselves. Fading

27:26

out of view, And. someone do

27:28

taking the for. Walked

27:31

into the next to him and it

27:34

was a library to levels. Latter.

27:36

Is on wheels. The could reach the

27:38

higher levels books and scrolls, game and

27:41

every single shelf of was made out

27:43

of the trunk of the tree itself.

27:46

You. Walked in in this insect creature

27:48

jumped out with a multi colored

27:50

carpet so ruins it seemed to

27:52

it's give off a bio luminescent

27:54

a low in dazzled some of

27:57

use those runes exploded outwards in

27:59

a dazzling the play of color

28:01

and then immediately took to lead

28:03

to out with a vicious double

28:05

clock friend. Would. You were

28:07

able to. Finish. Her.

28:11

Off. She. Wow.

28:13

Nice. dead on the floor.

28:16

In. Her final moments as you let loose a telepathic

28:18

first that let us know when it. As

28:25

a pronounce, it. Because

28:29

it's the compressor. Other

28:33

other that is six seven

28:35

feet tall metallic who. Are

28:41

the death rattle like join insect?

28:44

The So like any. Knowledge

28:46

Because like I wanna know why

28:48

this. Thing was in this room

28:50

for there's nothing in the other him. There's

28:53

nothing in the gallery. Ah,

28:56

we know that they're. The

28:58

Saudi pronounce what they're called.

29:01

Oh, that is Jerry. Zero.

29:03

Yeah, Syriac. Syria Accuracy reacts

29:06

for their he apostrophe. So there there

29:08

are local to the plane of shadows

29:10

so they they would live here. A

29:12

beautiful isn't the library. Differ

29:16

one a week. Maybe they'll be a journalist

29:18

from Cari Record. Or maybe maybe the Library

29:20

of Library Cards with olds who names people

29:22

who signed our for a new chapter Books:

29:24

I do want to check the body that

29:26

before we start digging for the bearing on

29:28

a beretta or while you're checking the body

29:30

what me treatments When you to Lisa the

29:33

author ibs would react wound. To

29:35

Duke he did amazon and you have

29:38

to wait on your that acts like

29:40

treatment or yeah but it is Margaret

29:42

as one condition and see I'm series

29:44

for still town. It's only like two

29:46

variables. a really okay and I'll do

29:49

a regular medicine checks I got it

29:51

So yet you should be go with

29:53

that. x men

29:55

two points that are you needed

29:57

of healing are you serious Yeah,

30:00

I'm down three. I

30:02

don't get the, I don't lose. You still have the

30:04

win. No, you lose the win as

30:06

soon as I treat win. Oh, treat win, not magic.

30:10

You're just down one hit point now? I'll

30:12

leave it at that. Roy, that is

30:14

a 20 perception Oscar looking at the body. The body,

30:16

you look at the body, you don't see any

30:18

weapons, any type of armor, it's natural shelf. Giving

30:21

it its protection, you were able to find

30:24

a way in, you're sentient blade. I

30:27

forgot about that. But, you

30:29

know, nothing on its person, however, the room

30:31

seems to be brimming with books and notes.

30:35

So can we, I mean, I feel like we should just kind of

30:37

sit down and search the white horse.

30:40

Yeah. Can we take 20? Yeah.

30:44

Make sure there's no one at the doors, make sure.

30:46

Yeah, let's make sure no one will surprise us. There

30:49

are three different exits out of this room. We

30:51

assume one goes back to the original area

30:53

we came in from, but two doors to the east.

30:56

We have no idea what's on the other side

30:58

of, so we should probably, I don't know, at least

31:00

be prepared. We don't have to open them or anything, but

31:02

be prepared for something to come in. But I'm

31:05

going to go down to the southeast door and

31:08

just quietly listen and just check it to

31:10

see if there's any commotion on the other

31:13

side. We already

31:15

know this creature was lying in wait for us, so

31:17

it's a little tough. 25 perception. Listen

31:20

to that southeast door. There's a northeast door,

31:22

a southeast door, and then a south door.

31:24

Of course, the west door that you came

31:26

in. You listen in there. You

31:29

don't hear anything. However, would

31:32

you roll? You can

31:34

tell that it's a larger room. We

31:36

have enough space in there. I

31:38

don't hear anything. Let's try

31:40

to keep all voices low. Let's

31:43

look at these books. Yeah, why worry? Exactly.

31:46

Surprise. Shh. Shh. Shh.

31:50

Shh. So

31:53

let's take our time and perception check to go

31:55

through the library. Brother Ramey, I want to go up to the north

31:57

for what it matters. I just think it's so cool. climb

32:00

that ladder and start

32:02

up there and just start looking

32:05

through these books. He

32:07

is convinced that there is information

32:09

in here that will fill in so many gaps

32:11

from the paintings that we were

32:13

sort of guessing at.

32:16

Maybe we can get some hard answers here. I

32:19

mean, is it safe to say that we would take like a couple

32:21

hours in here? I think so. I think so. Yeah,

32:24

why not? We'll take a couple hours. Take some

32:26

time to really dig into this library.

32:28

Yeah. Zephyr will definitely also

32:30

climb around too, just for fun. Yeah,

32:32

I'll go, I'll check out the stacks

32:34

to the east up top there. Bugles

32:38

will concentrate on the lowest shelf.

32:42

And he's specifically looking for anything with pictures.

32:45

Let me get some either Arcana

32:48

or Occultism checks as

32:50

you examine these because I would imagine for

32:52

some of you, you can't make

32:54

heads or tails of the significance

32:57

of these books other than like sort

33:00

of a cursory understanding while others among

33:02

you, depending on the outcome of your

33:04

role, may see what's important

33:06

here. Seventeen for Bugles on

33:08

Arcana. Eighteen on Arcana?

33:12

Listen. I mean, this is a...

33:17

When you did the North Foundry, this is our sponsor, we're

33:19

holding up our dice. Sydney

33:22

and I did a flavor roll, natural one. And

33:24

then? Whatever, let it roll off my shoulder because we're not

33:26

actually playing yet. You accidentally

33:29

hit a candle and it's been ice cold for a

33:31

month. Last

33:35

episode, you rolled multiple, not

33:37

once. Which, Woodstock, which I

33:39

pissed off. Can you lay

33:42

off with the hexes on me, please? I'm going to

33:44

say with that natural one, you knock over a

33:46

candle and light up every book. No! Step

33:48

up! I'm sorry, sorry, brother. It's

33:51

Alexandria all over again. I'll help it out,

33:53

I'll help it out. I'll help you Alexandria.

33:55

I'll help you Alexandria. All the doors locked

33:57

from the outside. So

34:00

ridiculous. 19, 20 if it's

34:02

related to Kniepo or My

34:06

other pursue elite is gonna be Count

34:08

Renal. Okay, okay. And I'm

34:10

also gonna use, I'm gonna clue Brother Rameus in.

34:13

So you get a plus one. You

34:16

don't wanna give it to him. Cool. You know she's a

34:18

strong one. I need a lot of help. I

34:20

don't know what I'm doing in here. You probably got one up

34:22

to a two. I'm not that good at this. I'll just do

34:24

pull ups while I wait. Impressive.

34:27

One of the latter row. Two

34:30

ladders or two ladders like parallel.

34:32

She's like practicing the jump off

34:34

that she failed before. Like parallel

34:36

rings. Over and over a parkour ring.

34:41

What do you roll there, Brother Rameus? Brother Rameus

34:43

got a 17 in occultism.

34:47

18 if it's related to Kniepo or Count Renal. 17 with that

34:49

bonus. Oh. Can

34:52

I roll a separate occultism check or is it all, it

34:54

is just, we could roll either skill

34:56

to research the same set of topics. Either skill, you

34:59

just roll your favorite. It's gonna give you the same

35:02

information. So

35:06

you're taking some time here trying to see if

35:08

there's a thematic

35:11

sort of unity to these

35:14

books or if it's just the

35:17

collected works of George R. R. Martin's.

35:19

Right. Fantasy novels. It's

35:22

like, what are they looking around and saying? It's

35:25

like an airplane bookstore. What in the? What

35:28

are fantasy novels on the plane of shadows? Are they

35:30

just like drawing room comedies? Right, yeah. Hyper naturalistic. They're

35:32

all about things that happen on the material plane that

35:34

are mundane. They're

35:37

books on accounting. You

35:40

feel as if the majority of the

35:42

books tend to

35:45

revolve around magical

35:48

diseases, elven

35:52

medical texts, codices

35:56

on evil rituals and

35:58

curses. And

36:01

more of the same like that. So

36:03

it seems like research was being done.

36:08

You immediately start thinking of the Abnerbulent Curse.

36:11

Something was going on here. To

36:13

create the curse, to combat the curse, to

36:15

enhance the curse. It's

36:18

unclear. You imagine that this entire collection would be

36:20

worth a great deal, but it's difficult to tell

36:22

which of the writings are valuable and which aren't.

36:26

A lot of them are in very poor condition as well.

36:29

But as you're looking, you can't imagine

36:31

that your focus is on how

36:33

to fetch a great price for these things is to

36:35

try and figure out what

36:37

the mystery is here. With

36:39

enough of those successful checks,

36:41

I'll say that

36:43

like three books

36:46

in particular really jump out

36:48

at you. There is an

36:50

ancient Osirian scroll

36:53

concerning magical

36:55

blights. A

36:59

rare, unburned copy of

37:01

Cursus foul and fell

37:03

that's bound in the

37:05

eelhide. And a

37:07

beautifully illuminated copy of the Physicers

37:09

guide to elves. You're

37:12

just saying they jump out because they look really

37:14

nice. They look really nice like you could probably

37:16

sell them. I'll take them. So rather

37:19

than grab everything. I'd take them. More options.

37:21

Asda takes them. Asda takes all of them.

37:23

Asda. What are you doing? I

37:26

thought I would hold on to these. Brother Amio has a magical

37:28

bag that can hold those books for him.

37:31

Yes. Perhaps they'll hold on to the... You need to stay light on your feet.

37:33

I could hold on to the Physicers

37:35

guide to elves probably. Well

37:38

what if you... Why? Why do

37:40

you need it? What if you fall? What

37:43

if you drop the books? Shouldn't we keep

37:45

some? He's got a magical bag that holds it.

37:47

Like a magical backpack. Fine. Take

37:50

it. Thank you. I

37:53

roll a perception on that. Yeah. It's

37:56

so savage. Absolute intruder elf

37:58

killer. Yep. Now you're

38:00

20. Oh! I'm even the

38:02

head! Natural 19, dude! No shit,

38:04

Sherlock. No, she

38:06

must die. I'll tell you... Roll

38:08

for initiative. I'll tell you something.

38:11

That's right. A couple things are

38:13

gonna happen. Asta, you've noticed that

38:15

Asta constantly is looking for glitz and gold

38:18

and anything of

38:29

value. With the teeth,

38:31

you know, she took like the gold fillings and

38:33

stuff. She's

38:35

just money hungry. She's always looking

38:37

for the most valuable items in the room.

38:40

Klepto has no compunction about

38:42

stealing. Maybe. Could she

38:44

steal an ancient powerful katana? Maybe.

38:47

From an innocent person. Perhaps. While

38:49

they're still alive? Who rolled the 20? I did.

38:53

Felicia knows that. You are the GM. And I'll

38:55

hand it back over to Troy. Back

39:02

to you, Troy. Thanks,

39:04

Cindy. Okay, that's

39:06

cool. Stay

39:09

warm out there. I can't remember

39:11

what you guys were looking for. Books

39:13

are far more valuable than the price

39:16

they would fetch on the street. There

39:18

is knowledge in here that buyers

39:21

would not understand. It's

39:24

important that we understand what's happening here. Of

39:26

course. I just... Sorry.

39:29

Just... Get nervous when

39:31

it comes to... You

39:35

have to understand, there were people within my order

39:37

that went to great lengths to profit off

39:39

of the stealing, selling,

39:43

the profiteering of knowledge. It

39:46

is part of the reason that my sect was created.

39:49

To combat these... Corruptions

39:52

that would occur among the powerful and the

39:55

elite. Follow

39:57

us, the keeper. So

39:59

I'm sorry. It's not about you. It's

40:01

more about what I've seen and

40:05

how money can corrupt

40:08

otherwise well-meaning people. No,

40:11

you were right. It was about me. I

40:13

was being selfish. Of course, we

40:16

need all this information. Do you

40:19

like to read? Um,

40:22

sometimes. And

40:24

I find a book that I

40:26

think it looks like Auster

40:28

would enjoy. The comic suit trip. And

40:31

I had to... That is a

40:33

book with pictures? A lot of

40:35

pictures. A lot of pictures. A very graphic

40:38

picture. That's like the

40:40

elf version of the comic. The

40:42

elven. Auster opened it. Oh, mine.

40:44

Oh, a puzzle. But

40:46

you should not be looking at the significance

40:48

of the pictures at all. Auster, did you

40:50

find this book? Auster pretty pictures. I thought...

40:53

Maybe you'd enjoy it. I don't really understand what's going

40:55

on. It is... Darlene.

40:59

I'm gonna hold on to this. Good.

41:01

Thank you, Buggles. And one for me. And

41:03

then I get one for him. Not of

41:05

that. We find another, like, picture

41:07

book. A picture-laden book for himself to

41:09

peruse. It's adorable. It's just like a

41:11

fairy tale book. Great. I have a

41:14

little girl that gets lost in the forest. He

41:16

takes it and he's just like... He's under

41:18

his cloak. I have to

41:20

hold on to the Kama Sutra book. Tucks

41:22

that into the robe. Shadow Kama

41:24

Sutra. Does

41:27

the Ziriak have any

41:29

kind of evidence of painting

41:32

on her? Does she have

41:34

paint on her hands? As you... That's

41:36

taken like a detective. He's my magnifying glass. You

41:39

take him in a magnifying glass. Remove

41:41

it from the door and start

41:43

studying the body. You do see

41:46

paint underneath her fingernails. In

41:50

reading different things in the room, you

41:52

get the sense... She

42:00

may. Yeah. We

42:03

all, we all savor. It

42:07

seems like she was

42:09

hired to

42:11

be an official court

42:13

historian for Kniebo.

42:17

And she went simply by the

42:19

name, the chronicler. The chronicler. Oh,

42:22

so cool. Like looking through all

42:24

these papers and you see correspondence

42:26

between her and Kniebo and it's

42:28

always signed the chronicler. So

42:32

everything she depicted

42:34

in the paintings was stuff that had happened.

42:41

Yeah, she was basically commissioned to do

42:43

that. So that final painting. But it

42:45

hasn't happened. It's not done. It

42:48

might be done. If

42:50

Kniebo is already. It

42:52

could be done. Yeah. It could be done.

42:55

It could be done. And there's

42:58

nothing in this library of her

43:00

chronicles of Kniebo. There's

43:03

nothing of her writing of what happened. She

43:06

did memoirs. She did it in the painting. Only

43:09

through the painting, not through writing. Yeah. You

43:12

get there. There are like some sketchy notes. There

43:14

are paintings that move. What else do you want? It's

43:16

magic. All right. I'm just

43:18

going to give you an idea from her. Because

43:20

she didn't really have a journal per se, but

43:22

there are notes that lead you

43:25

to believe that she wasn't

43:28

super thrilled with her work. I think it

43:30

seemed like she was promised more

43:32

and it wasn't quite living up to

43:35

the hype. But she

43:37

was content enough. And

43:40

then we killed her. And then you killed her. However

43:45

you do find, because you're going to spend

43:48

enough time there, you do find one other

43:50

book that seems to be of

43:52

importance. And then it's a spell book. You

43:57

open it up there hard. on

44:00

one page, three crushed pieces

44:02

of a mirror next

44:05

to a spell, and then

44:07

two other spells. How

44:11

much mirror is that in visibility? Mirror

44:14

image? Mirror image. How

44:16

do you identify? Is it just Arcana? Is that how we...

44:19

Yeah, can we arcana? I'll roll

44:21

with Arcana. Identify magic. Identify magic.

44:23

Natural three. I'll roll Arcana. It

44:26

just needs to be in one of the spells traditions.

44:29

Nineteen. Nineteen. What'd

44:31

you get there, Austin? Thirteen.

44:34

Thirteen. Almost a nat 20. Brother

44:37

Amos? Mirror Cana? Um,

44:39

actually no. And

44:41

it doesn't matter anyway. I rolled a nat before.

44:44

And he's not trained in Arcana. So yeah,

44:47

that's mirror image. And

44:50

then the other two spells you're not 100% sure of. Um,

44:54

do any of you learn...

44:56

Do you learn like a wizard, like through a spell

44:58

book? Yep. I should, right? Yep.

45:01

And I get... Mirror image is one of the spells that

45:03

I can get later through my study. I think you just

45:05

got it. You just got it. Done. Got it. Best

45:09

part of Baldur's Gate 3. Yeah, scrolls. Learn.

45:12

Yeah, man. Yeah, I like scrolls. Wait,

45:14

do I learn it then? Do I actually learn it? It's

45:16

just a process. Okay. But yeah, now you don't

45:18

have to... Wait. ...seek it

45:20

out. Level up. You can start to

45:22

get into the magic of the spell. Yeah, this is how wizards win. Yeah,

45:25

for sure. It's like one

45:27

of the only things that wizards are clearly better

45:29

at than... If... ...sorcerers

45:32

or... Who else am I thinking of? Or clerics,

45:35

you know, like... But if you find

45:37

it, if you sprinkle it in... You can just buy it,

45:39

find it. You know what I mean? Buy it through. Yeah.

45:42

You get to a point as you level up, you

45:44

can start just amassing the ability to cast anything. Yeah.

45:47

This is what you prepare each day. Oh,

45:49

that is so cool. Yeah. That's

45:51

the best thing you can find. So this has three

45:53

spells. One, Buggles, feels pretty confident. There's a mirror image,

45:55

and the other two, you're not sure. Brother

45:58

Amius is like, but we will see. I'll

46:01

slide it away. One

46:05

moment. No,

46:08

that's awesome. Take that and then we'll talk about

46:11

that. Yeah, we can figure that out. Learning is

46:13

clever. I bet that gets crunchy. I

46:15

see it's downtime. I did it with

46:17

Atticus. Yeah, it takes a while. Hours, at least, I

46:19

think. In

46:21

the game, not in real life. Correct. Well, it's going

46:24

to take us hours. Possibly to figure it out. So

46:27

you're no longer wounded there, Tully, then? No.

46:30

Could I listen at the northern door? Mm-hmm.

46:33

Go, T.D.! Nobody else has injured

46:35

at all, right? We're ready to move on? Yep.

46:37

Okay. The door is just near us. Kind of

46:40

a testament to your gameplay

46:42

that you haven't had to rest yet. You've done

46:44

multiple encounters. Yeah. I'd love to rest, but

46:47

we won't. Well, let's see what this

46:49

room is. Yeah, I mean, this seems like a

46:51

particularly horrible place to rest, unless we absolutely had

46:53

to. No, for sure. 25

46:56

on the perception. 25

46:58

on the perception. Every

47:01

single room, you're really silent.

47:05

This room is silent. Because

47:07

Zephyr alerted the Dzireact to your

47:09

presence. Perhaps,

47:12

in that fight, you've alerted other people to your

47:14

presence. But also he's silent because she's

47:16

dead. Now it's silent

47:19

because she's dead. Also the Dzireact

47:21

doesn't speak. It's true. The

47:23

Crocker. All right, I'll open the Crocker. You

47:27

open the northern door.

47:30

Oh, whoa. What?

47:34

Whoa, what do you see? Whoa. Bedroom. I

47:36

just see a bed. Oh,

47:38

I was going to say it.

47:40

It looks like a nobles bedroom.

47:43

Yeah, a fancy shman. A Naples

47:45

bedroom. There are yards of pastel

47:47

fabric hanging on an

47:49

elegant, however very,

47:51

very dusty four

47:53

poster bed. Same

47:57

fabric laying on a nearby vanity.

48:00

also covered with a thick layer of

48:02

dust. There's a large

48:04

painting on the wall to

48:06

the north depicting two slender

48:11

black and white creatures

48:14

with skull-like faces and

48:16

elongated teeth. And

48:19

in like a grotesque portrayal

48:21

of a family portrait, they're

48:23

like holding hands and

48:25

grinning towards you. There

48:31

are scattered candles, crystals,

48:34

and other occult pecutrements

48:36

around the room, maybe suggesting some

48:39

sort of magical project in process.

48:41

It's unclear.

48:45

God damn it. Another door stands in

48:47

the southern end. This magical

48:49

process of progress is pissing me off.

48:52

Can I roll our can on the magical process and

48:54

project? Yeah, these are occult

48:56

pecutrements. You can go our can of, but if you

48:58

feel better with occult. You can do cult. Reef

49:05

glimmer. Reef glimmer of something over in 11. And

49:09

now a natural 5. Where was the painting

49:11

in the room? To the news.

49:15

I want to go look at the painting. It

49:17

was a 13 of them. It's like right there along that

49:19

wall and then to the north. The

49:21

little north alcove has all of those. Knickknacks.

49:27

Could I, Brother Amius

49:29

will look under the bed? Classic.

49:33

Under the bed? Spin down, yeah, look under. They

49:36

say skull-faced creature smiling. No! Dude,

49:40

that's not funny, man. How you

49:42

doing? I'm gonna do an occultus

49:44

embroidery. You guys know how to get out of

49:47

here? Oh, 25. Natural

49:50

19. Fire.

49:54

There's all sorts of little

49:57

things there, but some of them look... useless

50:00

to you. One thing

50:02

really stands out. It

50:04

is like a small onyx

50:08

dog. Radiates.

50:14

Magical energy. Good

50:18

luck. Thanks. Six fans.

50:21

Along with me and Fran. Wow.

50:23

Okay. So yeah, I pick up

50:38

a jewel. It's like a little

50:40

statue, like an inch high statue. Okay. Okay. So

50:42

this seems

50:47

significant, but I'm not sure. It's radiating magic.

50:49

Oh, it's really small. He goes

50:52

to Austin. This is like, does

50:55

this mean anything to you?

50:57

There's some power coming from

50:59

it. I can't tell

51:01

what it is. Austin

51:03

takes it. Does this remind her of like the

51:05

Gorgas at all? Like the dark? Yeah,

51:08

a little bit. Um, it creeps the buggles out by

51:10

the way, because it is a dog and it is

51:12

magic. It's like, he's almost afraid to touch it. So

51:14

he did a cultism. Could I do our

51:17

Kana on the magic that's coming off of it?

51:19

Yeah, you want to identify the magic of this.

51:21

I just have been kind of flavoring. Instead of

51:23

have you guys use detect magic. If you, if

51:25

there's magic there, I'm assuming you guys are detecting

51:28

magic. And so you at this,

51:30

you're feeling psychic energy from it. You

51:32

try to figure out what it is.

51:34

It does resemble a Gorga, but it

51:36

actually looks more like an actual hound.

51:39

I rolled a 23 on our Kana.

51:41

It is a wondrous figurine. Oh, an

51:43

onyx dog. So if you take it

51:46

cool and you place it on a

51:48

flat surface, you can activate it

51:51

and have a guard dog.

51:53

Yeah. Whoa. Whoa. So

51:56

we can sleep very carefully. Is it

51:58

back to buggles? And she

52:01

says, this is a very

52:03

special item, Bugle. It will protect

52:05

you. If you place this down, it

52:07

will become a real dog. Oh,

52:09

oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh,

52:11

oh, oh. Take her dog. She

52:14

takes it back. Take her dog. What's wrong

52:16

with him? What's wrong with him? What's wrong

52:18

with him? I just gave him. He's afraid of dogs.

52:20

He pulls his hood down over his face, like crying.

52:22

He's like, oh, it's fine. You're doing it. Don't you

52:25

think I was ever trying to comfort you? Oh,

52:27

oh. Bugle, come over here. She won't hurt you.

52:30

A mean ass that didn't mean it. Oh,

52:32

oh, he's afraid of a lot of stuff. I

52:34

didn't realize he was afraid. I thought it was

52:36

just horses. He found this. He

52:40

found this. It's a very special

52:42

item. It will become a guard dog when you place

52:44

it down. It's very magical. Probably

52:47

worth a lot of money. Not

52:49

that. A guard dog. A

52:51

angry smile at the mention of this. Not

52:54

that I would take it. He

52:56

found it. I mean. But he doesn't want it. We're

52:58

not going to be able to use it. We might as well sell

53:00

it. Should not use it. It would set

53:02

him off. I will. But,

53:05

Bugle, do you want to hold

53:07

onto it? It's very

53:09

powerful. No one could ever set it

53:11

down. But you see sort of very

53:14

tentatively sort of crosses the room

53:18

and he takes out like a hankerchief

53:20

out of the pocket in his cloak

53:23

and he like picks it up with a

53:25

hankerchief and like balls it up and puts

53:27

it in his little like satchel. He's just

53:30

like, thank you,

53:32

yes. Thank you. Sorry.

53:35

All right. It's okay.

53:37

No harm done. Now

53:40

you have all the power. Isn't that funny? You can hear

53:42

it growling in your pocket. Muffled all the way by the hankerchief. Muffled all the

53:44

way. Is it worth trying to perceive the room anymore? Do we think

53:46

we've seen everything? Between our various checks we've got. There's a lot going

53:48

on in here. You know how it

53:50

works. works

54:00

like you activate it with a

54:02

couple of actions and it can be used once per

54:04

week. Once it's activated, the

54:07

dog is a part of, it exists for

54:09

six hours basically. So you can use it

54:11

to track, you can use it to hunt,

54:13

you can use it to attack, you have

54:15

to command it and it will do things

54:17

to the best of its ability. This is

54:19

another thing that goes all the way back

54:21

to like original D&D as well. This is

54:23

a wondrous item like a question.

54:27

Would often know that this wouldn't be

54:29

like beholden to Penippo?

54:31

Like it's, if we activate it, it's not going to

54:33

like turn on us, right? You think

54:36

it's more like a genie like it's you

54:38

now. It doesn't remember every time it becomes

54:40

sentient. Right, you're not my master. Cool.

54:44

That is really cool. Searching the rest

54:47

of the room, if you guys are taking time and you're

54:49

not obviously the same amount of time as you took in

54:51

the library, a couple

54:54

things jump out. One, the

54:57

layer of dust on everything makes

55:00

you think like this room has never been slept in

55:04

or hasn't been in a long time at least.

55:06

It looks completely un... The bed is made. That

55:08

is made, everything is like very regal. But

55:12

that layer of dust, there's no way that anyone has

55:15

used this for a long time, if ever. The

55:18

second thing that seems

55:21

strange to you is

55:24

that along that northern edge

55:26

of the room, just beyond the painting

55:28

up towards that alcove, you

55:30

see that like, you know, all the

55:32

walls are made up of the tree,

55:35

you know, the previous room, the tree

55:38

was like carved to make the shelves

55:40

for the books. Well, same thing here,

55:42

but along that edge, it

55:45

looks like hunks of the tree

55:47

flesh have been smoothed, like

55:49

smooth and removed, almost

55:52

like they were

55:54

going to be turned into another

55:56

doorway leading east.

56:01

But the project was never

56:03

completed or abandoned. They were carving out a new

56:05

doorway here, but it was never quite finished. And

56:14

I'm sorry, where is that on the map? That

56:16

is just along that northern, northeastern

56:18

wall, just above where I pointed

56:20

out where the painting is. So

56:23

kind of like just above where Zephyr is standing,

56:25

it seems like a door was meant to go

56:28

there. Can

56:30

we look behind the painting? The side is against it. Behind

56:32

the painting. Save the key.

56:36

Can I do an I'll check on this? What

56:43

is this dude I putted in my pocket? Some

56:50

sort of a figuring mechanism? I

56:52

put a pacifier? Can I roll

56:54

a check on the figures in

56:56

the painting? Yeah. I

57:01

could have thought of that. Anyway, I'm going

57:03

to go around and laugh myself some more.

57:07

What am I rolling? You're

57:10

trying to recall knowledge to see if you know anything about them.

57:13

There's no sort of... Arcana,

57:15

occultism, religion? Yeah,

57:18

so like if it's religion, it's like are these

57:20

important religious figures. Arcana is like this giving off

57:22

any, I think, of Arcana would probably be the

57:24

close... Or society, like are these

57:27

important historical figures. It

57:30

seems to be what you're... Natural six. Striped

57:33

skin. Striped

57:36

skin like the statue when you first

57:38

came in. It had some striped markings

57:40

to it. A grandiose statue

57:42

with the tooth fairies emerged. That

57:45

doesn't quite look like this. There

57:49

also seems... I don't know if this is a foundry thing. I

57:51

don't know if... It seems like the

57:53

light is not working the same in here. Is that

57:56

just an accident? Your light? Feels

57:58

like it. Oh, it's a... working don't

58:01

forget there's still bioluminescent light coming

58:03

from this if I delete that

58:05

creature you've

58:08

got light no yeah yeah I do

58:10

just a little bit okay so it's so it's

58:12

the light that was coming

58:14

in from the bioluminescent creature is making a

58:17

bright light that was brighter got it got

58:19

it okay so you're still like 20 regular

58:22

20 dim 20 regular 20 dim

58:24

yeah that like

58:26

almost carved door can

58:29

I like knock on it to see

58:31

if it's hollow on the other side like is

58:34

there a room already there and they were making a

58:36

door yeah or is it just solid even

58:38

though it doesn't even

58:40

matter what dice I use you know yeah that's

58:43

all rolling on this perception not

58:47

worse 13 13 section

58:50

lucky 13 okay you're

58:54

bringing some scintillating energy some people enjoy playing

58:56

this game

59:00

when the roles are cold what it sucks

59:02

we all know I want to investigate with

59:04

suffer she's not doing it yeah

59:07

you knock and

59:09

it doesn't sound particularly hollow so maybe

59:11

that you know there had

59:14

to be Doug more to get to something else

59:16

you don't know if they were building a tunnel

59:18

or just a doorway hallway but

59:20

it doesn't it sounds pretty solid or if

59:23

they're starting an entire room from

59:26

this doorway maybe they wanted a you know

59:28

a non-sweet bathroom and

59:30

you couldn't get the permits who wouldn't that

59:32

tied everything up yeah the whole process

59:36

all right to eat the will listen to the door to the south door to

59:38

the south all right there we go

59:40

22 you listen to the door

59:42

to the south looking at

59:45

the map here you wonder if that's

59:47

at all connected to that

59:49

door in the previous room that brother

59:51

rameous into yeah the big room and

59:53

the reason you think

59:55

that it does sound I'm

1:00:00

really big, and I can write back too. I'm

1:00:02

awful folks here. Francis

1:00:05

left! Come on, man! It

1:00:08

frowns the show. Wait, what's that? I gave Francis the

1:00:10

round. Sounds

1:00:14

cavernous, but you get that same

1:00:17

feeling that Brother Rain has described in

1:00:19

its bigness. Alright, well, taking

1:00:21

the bigness into account, I will open the door. Oh,

1:00:24

we'll be back. Right after the spring. Talitha

1:00:34

opens the door. Oh!

1:00:40

Shut the door, shut the door! Close it! The

1:00:42

door! The door! I can't

1:00:44

see it! Oh, this is cavernous

1:00:46

as fuck! Asa can't see it!

1:00:48

The bigness, though, is not my

1:00:50

chief concern. Asa can't see

1:00:52

it! I can only see that it's

1:00:54

huge. I can't see anything. Her angle. I see a large

1:00:56

table at the center. With

1:00:59

manacles and a large smear of blood. Oh,

1:01:04

I see it too now. And then I'm going to try her humanoid,

1:01:06

just pull on all the rest of the table. And then over on

1:01:09

the side table, or the sideboard, if you

1:01:11

will, has what look

1:01:13

like surgical saws and other

1:01:15

implemented torture. Oh, this

1:01:17

is where he's doing the experiments. Oh

1:01:19

no! There

1:01:22

is a stained wooden operating table

1:01:25

with a gutter around the edge of it. Oh,

1:01:27

come on! And a variety

1:01:29

of leather restraints standing in

1:01:31

the middle of this enormous theater.

1:01:37

A rack of immaculate surgical

1:01:39

tools stands along the western wall

1:01:41

while a counter to the east,

1:01:44

which maybe only Talithi can see,

1:01:47

holds papers

1:01:49

and pens and

1:01:51

notes. Look

1:01:54

down at the floor, and the floor

1:01:56

has been carved in these elaborate geometric.

1:02:00

designs. There

1:02:03

is an alcove

1:02:06

to the northeast that,

1:02:09

not unlike the artist's studio, holds

1:02:11

a bed. Of course,

1:02:13

instead of a thing of rags, there's

1:02:15

an actual bed there. There

1:02:18

are doors exiting every which way,

1:02:20

and it seems like to the south

1:02:23

there is a staircase built

1:02:25

into the floor leading up

1:02:29

and out of sight. It

1:02:32

goes a ways too. I'm not

1:02:34

seeing most of this. We have to get in the

1:02:36

room first. All I've seen is the examining table with

1:02:39

the blood. Perception check the table is anyone in the

1:02:41

room from where I'm standing. Okay. Yeah, I'll

1:02:43

do the same from what I can see.

1:02:45

Eighteen. Sixteen.

1:02:48

Why not? Ooh, natural seventeen.

1:02:53

21. I can't really see anything in character, but that

1:02:55

is a natty nineteen for a 23. Okay, realistly.

1:02:58

Hark. Hark. So

1:03:00

Zephyr and Hosta are looking past

1:03:02

everyone. No one

1:03:05

sees anyone, but you both

1:03:07

get the sense that someone has been in here recently.

1:03:11

Unrelated. Since my

1:03:14

flurry of blows when I use it

1:03:16

for my hands, I can also use

1:03:18

it with my feet. I'm erasing the

1:03:21

pre notion of, oh, I put

1:03:23

my bow away. I have, I always have it in my

1:03:25

hand because I can still use floria blows

1:03:27

with like my hands and feet and still have my

1:03:29

bow in my other hand. Oh, that's

1:03:31

great. Just a side note. Always

1:03:34

be bowing. Always be

1:03:36

bowing. So I

1:03:38

have my bow in my hand, casually. Actually

1:03:40

have your bow in your hand. What

1:03:43

do you

1:03:46

do? I tell you people step into the room. Ooh, there's

1:03:49

a bed here too. Yeah. We

1:03:55

just comes in for buckles

1:03:57

and hosta are slowly making their way. way

1:04:00

in. So we hold the

1:04:02

other guys right over to those notes. Okay. Um, buckles,

1:04:07

you stay in the door. Uh,

1:04:09

try to come in. Okay. Buckles is

1:04:11

in there with Rameus

1:04:13

right at the doorway. Rameus

1:04:16

is light emanating out, just

1:04:18

covering the table

1:04:21

covered in blood. Hosta

1:04:23

and Zephyr walk over to

1:04:25

the surgical instruments till Leta

1:04:27

walks over to the notes. The

1:04:33

instruments, you notice everything looks perfect. Like

1:04:35

if they're being used for experiments here,

1:04:37

then they've been cleaned and

1:04:39

shined and placed in a perfectly

1:04:42

ordered fashion from

1:04:45

smallest to largest, grouped perhaps

1:04:47

with some sort of order

1:04:49

that you don't understand as

1:04:51

you are not surgeons or

1:04:54

whatever. The people in this

1:04:56

place are you

1:05:00

come over to the notes and start looking

1:05:04

through them. Your

1:05:09

diagrams carefully

1:05:12

illustrated diagrams

1:05:15

of different

1:05:18

people in

1:05:20

various stages of

1:05:23

being a vivisected and

1:05:26

they're very, very,

1:05:28

um, descriptive and

1:05:30

very highly illustrated so that

1:05:32

you see what these

1:05:34

people look like. It

1:05:40

looks like you see them as they

1:05:42

were when they first arrived here, but

1:05:45

then you see what

1:05:47

happened to them through various

1:05:49

experiments. Some of them have

1:05:52

like elongated limbs. Some

1:05:54

of them, their faces have been stripped

1:05:56

of all muscle and fat.

1:06:00

Others have other very

1:06:02

strange grotesque transformations. Give

1:06:07

me a perception check. This

1:06:12

is coming on. 24,

1:06:15

2017. You're looking at all

1:06:17

these different people. And

1:06:21

you see, what

1:06:23

looks like the most recent subjects, the

1:06:27

youngish woman, an

1:06:30

older man, and

1:06:32

then a younger man,

1:06:34

and the thing that jumps out at you, it

1:06:37

has a wooden septum piercing. And

1:06:40

at that moment, in the back

1:06:42

of the room, a

1:06:45

figure materializes out of

1:06:48

thin air. And

1:06:51

it is a feminine figure.

1:06:55

And she has long black hair,

1:06:58

and she's wearing a mask. Over

1:07:01

her face, a mask that seems to just float

1:07:04

in front of whatever is behind it.

1:07:06

Her clothing seems to not

1:07:08

be completely corporeal, like it almost

1:07:10

seems to be made of shadow

1:07:12

stuff. And not unlike the picture

1:07:14

you saw in the previous room,

1:07:17

everything, including the mask, is decorated

1:07:20

in black and white

1:07:22

stripes. Except

1:07:25

for her hands, which are

1:07:27

covered in blood. And

1:07:29

she looks at you and just shakes her head.

1:07:33

She says, you, Anibo

1:07:36

chose you over

1:07:39

me. And

1:07:43

you can't see her face. She

1:07:46

points and she says, they are

1:07:48

mine. You

1:07:50

fleshy interlopers.

1:07:54

Roll for initiative. Oh no. Roll,

1:07:57

roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll. Oh,

1:08:00

it's like these people are not even

1:08:02

in direct contact with me.

1:08:04

I've never been called that before I

1:08:09

don't know how to take that Let's

1:08:13

see interloper see interloper like

1:08:15

I would you get 23

1:08:25

20 Three was effort

1:08:27

to lead that fall.

1:08:29

Oh I'm

1:08:32

assuming I was perceiving you need to do better. Yeah,

1:08:34

I know true. That's a five Six

1:08:39

the fleshy interloper threw me off. Oh, oh Brother

1:08:43

rameous, is that a rollable initiative rolled

1:08:45

up to cheese

1:08:49

Stinky think 17 17 And

1:08:54

finally buggles 14 14 for buggles Let

1:08:59

me get enemies in this game. Just always roll

1:09:06

I pre-roll every single initiative before

1:09:08

we start and yeah mask

1:09:10

woman as a 27 What

1:09:14

did you roll right? Let's

1:09:17

see if you rolled you roll the net Natural

1:09:20

nine and she should I roll to 17 The

1:09:27

plus 10 She

1:09:31

looks like Very

1:09:41

cool that is very like a like

1:09:43

a murderous harlequin or something Actually,

1:09:45

she does look like a like the elder

1:09:47

one of the elder harlequin from Warhammer 40k

1:09:51

It looks like under the mask her face would just

1:09:53

be like smoke or something. Yeah, it's your Loki

1:09:56

I mentioned that like it looked like the mask

1:09:58

almost was just floating in front of whatever whatever

1:10:00

it was behind it. And the image,

1:10:02

I think, doesn't quite drive home the

1:10:04

way I described it in the clothing.

1:10:06

The way it moves, it doesn't seem

1:10:09

to be made up of just cotton.

1:10:13

And remember what she

1:10:15

said. Kniepoh chose

1:10:17

you over me. Over me? May or May.

1:10:20

I'll cut it out. You

1:10:22

fleshy interlopers. Have

1:10:25

we met Kniepoh before? In

1:10:27

the missing moment, perhaps? Well,

1:10:30

maybe. Well, yeah, maybe.

1:10:33

He knew what we looked like enough to have someone to

1:10:35

commission a painting of us. Well, he was also there.

1:10:37

He was there. Yeah. Makes you

1:10:39

wonder if we've had experiments done on

1:10:41

us already. Yeah. Or sent back in.

1:10:43

Or marking. Someone marked us. Or marking

1:10:46

special abilities. Our

1:10:48

deviant traits. Yeah. Deviant

1:10:50

traits. Yeah, I mean, it's gotta be so terrifying.

1:10:52

It's something we don't talk about enough. It's like

1:10:55

not knowing what happened during that lost time. You're

1:10:57

fine. It's gotta be very- No reason for this

1:10:59

investigation. That's why I'm like, I don't give a

1:11:01

shit about Kniepoh if it doesn't point to exactly

1:11:04

what happened the night of the missing

1:11:06

moment, right? That's the mystery. Thing about

1:11:08

ending the world. So I care a little bit about

1:11:10

that. Eh. Eh. We

1:11:13

don't have to live here. All

1:11:16

right, so here's what we're gonna do.

1:11:21

She is going to slide

1:11:24

up to Talitha. And

1:11:29

she is going to- I found the comments. What did

1:11:31

you do to him? You are never gonna get to

1:11:33

fight. It ends up

1:11:35

being the placement. You're like the party lead. It's

1:11:38

like you and Asta, you went one way, Asta

1:11:40

went the other. She slides up to you and

1:11:42

goes to touch you with a spell.

1:11:48

Ha ha ha ha ha. Goes to

1:11:50

touch you and you feel very, very

1:11:52

cold. Oh no.

1:11:54

Give me a fortitude save

1:11:57

of the basic variety. You

1:11:59

hate me. 18. Give

1:12:01

me a premium fortitude. That is

1:12:04

a fail. Okay. Oh

1:12:07

man. Wortchies my worst save. Alright,

1:12:09

so she goes out for Talitha and

1:12:13

casts this heightened John and

1:12:15

it's going to be nine

1:12:19

points of void damage. Void

1:12:21

damage? And she's just like

1:12:23

sucking like entropy out of

1:12:25

your body just like sucking. And

1:12:31

yeah, it was just a fail. It wasn't a critical fail. It

1:12:34

could have been a lot worse, but

1:12:36

just start sucking that out of you

1:12:38

and that is her turn. It now

1:12:40

is Zephyr's turn. Ooh.

1:12:44

Oh. First

1:12:46

action. Second

1:12:49

action. First action. I'm going to move up. Second

1:12:51

action. Yikes. You have

1:12:53

one more action. I'm going to move up

1:12:55

behind her here so she'll be flanked

1:12:57

in between Talitha and I. What is

1:12:59

your perception? My

1:13:01

perception is a plus four, by default.

1:13:05

Oh. A couple things

1:13:07

happen. As you move exactly in

1:13:09

that direction. No. You

1:13:11

don't notice. No. The

1:13:13

floor gives way. Oh no. Alright. The

1:13:16

floor opens up like a trap door

1:13:18

is triggered as you step on it

1:13:20

and it opens up quickly. Give

1:13:23

me a roll to try and grab

1:13:25

an edge. Okay. Is that athletic

1:13:27

or acrobatics? It

1:13:29

can be, grab an edge could be

1:13:31

athletics or... Oh

1:13:33

can it? Yeah, I believe so. Let me

1:13:35

just make sure. I thought it was safe.

1:13:37

Grab an edge because I read this earlier.

1:13:39

Reclex is also my best thing. If you

1:13:41

grab an edge you can do acrobatics or

1:13:43

reflex. Okay. Perfect. Acrobatics. I'll

1:13:46

do acrobatics. Well, it had to happen to one

1:13:48

of us. Yeah, this is like the best pull-up. No.

1:13:52

Oh my god. You're 10. Oh.

1:13:55

Okay, you fall. Oh. Okay.

1:13:59

And a couple things happen. How far? You fall

1:14:01

20 feet. Okay. You take 10 bludgeoning damage

1:14:03

from the fall. But, cat fall. Oh,

1:14:05

cat fall. Okay. 10 feet shorter. Alright,

1:14:07

so then you don't take any damage

1:14:10

from the fall. Feet. Ooh.

1:14:12

That is a good feet. However, you will take

1:14:14

some damage from the spikes at the bottom of

1:14:17

the wall. Oh, a spiked pit! You

1:14:19

take six piercing damage from the

1:14:21

metal spikes jutting up from the

1:14:23

pit's floor, and you feel something

1:14:26

seeping within your skin. Ooh. There

1:14:28

are other bodies lying around

1:14:30

you at the bottom of

1:14:32

this, like, warped disposal pit.

1:14:35

Oh! Just tilt the table up and slide the

1:14:37

carpet down. Yep. Oh!

1:14:40

Give me a fortitude save. Okay. It

1:14:44

always triggers trigger. So tired or rolling.

1:14:46

Dice. Uh,

1:14:49

15. Everything

1:14:52

seems to be just fine. Oh

1:14:54

my god! Sort of corked

1:14:56

rot! Uh-huh. So now you are, you know,

1:14:58

first action was you moved, you triggered all

1:15:00

this, and you fell down. Now you're 20

1:15:02

feet below. You have to

1:15:04

climb up. Is

1:15:07

it climbing? It is climbing. Well, that was my

1:15:09

first action, was falling into the death pit.

1:15:12

Yep. So it's athletics to climb, and then

1:15:14

what is climbing? First you gotta get up.

1:15:17

So yeah, first, second action. Come on.

1:15:19

Stand up. Navigate these spikes. Something

1:15:22

feels weird. Third action. You

1:15:24

can climb, and you're gonna

1:15:26

be like five

1:15:29

feet per action. Yeah.

1:15:32

It's gonna take you like two more rounds. I think eventually

1:15:34

like a monk can do these things faster

1:15:36

if I take certain seats, but it's not

1:15:38

anything that I have currently, although I am

1:15:40

good at climbing with my acrobatics

1:15:42

and athletics. So yeah, I get up, and

1:15:45

I start climbing. Okay. Give me an athletics check to

1:15:47

see how far you make it. If you critically succeed,

1:15:49

you can move double, which would be 10 feet. Right?

1:15:52

I believe so. I don't think it

1:15:55

critically. 12. 12. All right. So

1:15:57

you start climbing, grabbing handholds. You're like

1:15:59

lifting. yourself up from these other

1:16:01

corpses and you get five feet

1:16:04

up 15 feet to go. Brother

1:16:06

Amius you see does that ever be

1:16:08

like got this. It's

1:16:12

amazing though the way you landed you landed

1:16:14

and the spikes went like right through your

1:16:16

feet. So you landed very

1:16:19

delicately on the spikes

1:16:21

and he's like Brother

1:16:23

Amius. Brother Amius is

1:16:25

going to move around the

1:16:28

table. He is just

1:16:30

like when Zephyr fell from the rope from

1:16:32

the cut rope it triggers something in him

1:16:34

that he cannot stop but

1:16:37

move toward somebody who has fallen

1:16:39

and he goes up to you

1:16:41

and sees that you're already like working your way

1:16:43

back up and makes his realization

1:16:45

thinks maybe next round I can even help

1:16:47

you like pull you up the last little

1:16:49

bit or whatever but for now he just

1:16:51

looks up and we see this hatred in

1:16:53

his eyes. Tired of these

1:16:55

outsiders and their demonic

1:16:58

influence trying to hurt

1:17:00

his friends and so he is going to fire

1:17:02

off a divine lance at the

1:17:05

creature. So here

1:17:09

we go. 13, 2,

1:17:11

it hits Talitha for max damage. I wonder if

1:17:13

it divine

1:17:17

lance when it misses if it explodes or if it

1:17:20

just like hits the back wall or if it just...

1:17:22

Yeah I don't know what it means

1:17:24

when it misses. In this case let's

1:17:26

just say it somehow it gets consumed

1:17:28

into the like shadow stuff that she's

1:17:30

made of. It makes you like worried that

1:17:33

she's so unholy and she's just eating

1:17:35

it. I don't know like a

1:17:37

black hole eats the light. Brutal!

1:17:39

Any actions left? No that was

1:17:41

three actions. Bugles. Bugles

1:17:44

is gonna move up.

1:17:46

Bugles. He's gonna

1:17:49

take a step up to... Everyone knows

1:17:51

it's Bugles. He's going to sort

1:17:53

of brace himself behind

1:17:55

the leg of this abattoir

1:17:58

kind of table that's good. Yeah,

1:18:00

autopsy table and He's

1:18:03

going to ignite the Roy

1:18:06

Mustang Boom,

1:18:08

that's awesome 21 21. Yes, excellent Six

1:18:16

points of damage. Don't six

1:18:18

points of fire fire

1:18:20

1:18:23

right her weakness fire immolates

1:18:30

Talitha it's your turn. You're standing next to this thing.

1:18:33

He's been removed from your body Yeah

1:18:35

from Talitha's perspective. She just got you've

1:18:38

got like her the heater for body drain from her

1:18:40

It's that first started running around the table and just

1:18:42

disappeared You know things

1:18:44

1:18:47

device. I'm gonna devise a strategy. Okay Okay.

1:18:50

All right. I'm gonna it's an 11

1:18:52

so I will use that I'm gonna use take

1:18:55

my free knowledge check first though for my known

1:18:57

weakness free knowledge check We're free

1:18:59

recall knowledge. This is an important recall knowledge. So

1:19:01

1:19:07

1:19:54

up to the internet. We didn't give Sydney the Okay,

1:20:01

I'm that even with my even if you

1:20:03

I'm using my intelligence bonus to Attack

1:20:07

for the rapier. It's almost

1:20:09

certain I can give you a piece of useful

1:20:11

information to okay because you you succeeded but just

1:20:13

one piece is there something you want to know

1:20:20

No, I can tell you that she's resistant to

1:20:22

cold and void Void

1:20:25

enough I share that information

1:20:27

I was just into cold

1:20:29

I was

1:20:31

playing a game. I was running a traveler home

1:20:34

game And

1:20:37

I was playing and something happened I've never seen in all

1:20:39

the years We've been playing all the games have said something

1:20:42

happened. I've never seen happen before which is somebody

1:20:44

did the equivalent of a knowledge check And

1:20:46

then I was like do you show that information and they were just like

1:20:48

no They

1:20:51

weren't being funny. They were just like be there like in the moment. I

1:20:53

would not show that information. I was like Okay,

1:20:56

Wow, what an interesting role-playing to her Okay,

1:21:01

I'm gonna try I'll seize this hip so I mean I

1:21:03

will use the attack that is a 19 All

1:21:09

right, and then I've been looking for a way in and just Stick

1:21:12

it right into shadow stuff Okay,

1:21:15

Talitha is then going to move

1:21:18

and hope that she doesn't have an a oo and she will

1:21:20

move to the Eastern edge

1:21:22

of the Eastern North Eastern corner of the

1:21:24

room and I'll be her turn move

1:21:27

to the North Eastern corner Okay

1:21:32

by the door that Leave

1:21:34

back what into what looks like would be the doors of

1:21:36

the library. Yeah smart. I mean you've been a Punching

1:21:39

bag for these enemies thus far within konipos

1:21:41

court. She's weak to cold. She's resistant to

1:21:43

cold and void is weak to cold great.

1:21:46

No Quick

1:21:48

hold by Boyd Sausage

1:21:52

turn. Okay Can

1:21:54

I how high is this butcher

1:21:56

block table? So I did Hahaha!

1:22:01

Yeah, that table has got no eyes. Two

1:22:04

and a half feet, same as this table.

1:22:06

So easy, she could realistically run, jump on

1:22:08

the table and jump over the other side.

1:22:10

Interesting, you mentioned that. Joe, who

1:22:12

loves to point out when you

1:22:14

specifically do something he doesn't care

1:22:17

for. I love it. Not

1:22:20

how that conversation happens. One, I believe it,

1:22:22

two, go on. Two episodes ago. I ran

1:22:24

on a table. Yes, and

1:22:26

before we started recording last week, he pulled

1:22:28

me back. I

1:22:30

don't want to make Siddy feel bad yet again. Or something. Same

1:22:33

thing. I don't even want to do that. Same work.

1:22:36

Correct, but he's like technically leap in

1:22:38

and of itself as an action. So

1:22:40

you can either move, leap, move, or

1:22:43

if you can leap move. Why can't

1:22:45

I move, take a large step onto a table. That's

1:22:48

a second act. And take a step off.

1:22:50

That's a leap. You're leaping onto the table. A large step.

1:22:53

Are you 16 feet tall? I mean a large step. Can

1:22:56

you stand up? Can you stand

1:22:58

up? Could you step up a three foot table? Step

1:23:00

up onto this table. Let's see if you can just

1:23:02

step in one. And for skorts?

1:23:05

Look how smooth. Right in the

1:23:07

flow of coffee. That's a full action.

1:23:10

Actually, if you knew it might be

1:23:12

a three action. I wasn't really dressed.

1:23:17

I could have done that so easily. Okay,

1:23:19

so you're telling me no? No,

1:23:21

Joe said. Oh, what

1:23:23

are you saying? Because you are my team. Here's what

1:23:25

I'm saying. Here's what I'm saying. Here's

1:23:27

what I'm saying. There is a leap

1:23:30

action where, yeah, you

1:23:32

would have to leap to traverse the distance

1:23:34

without going around. But it appears you could

1:23:37

just go around. Yeah,

1:23:39

I'm just going to go around. One move action. I'm going to

1:23:41

go around. Yeah, if you've got the movement. I do. You're

1:23:44

30 feet or you're a 25 footer? I'm a 25 footer. Okay,

1:23:46

you might have it. I could get to. Oh, you

1:23:48

know what? Put yourself back there and let me reveal the pit

1:23:50

to you guys because you would know what the size of the

1:23:52

pit is. It's actually a

1:23:54

big pit. Open the pit

1:23:56

up. It's a big

1:23:58

pit. Oh, oh. Oh, never

1:24:00

mind, you cannot run around. That's a big

1:24:03

hit. So that changed. She can go around

1:24:05

the other way. Funny? Yes. Funny,

1:24:07

if I fizzle? Funny,

1:24:10

yep, I can. I can get diagonal the other way.

1:24:12

You can. So I will

1:24:14

run around right when you get

1:24:17

next to her. Oh my god.

1:24:19

She just winks out of existence.

1:24:21

Son of a B. And

1:24:23

appears next to Brother Ramey. Oh!

1:24:27

Just like blips in and out. Alright.

1:24:30

After you use your entire conflict of movement. So that

1:24:32

was my first action and

1:24:35

totally changes what I'm gonna do. Gosh darn

1:24:37

it. Oh cool. I'm gonna

1:24:39

do... Not cool at all. You know

1:24:41

what? Hello. I was gonna do a

1:24:44

move and a spell strike, but I will just cast

1:24:46

a spell instead from a distance. Okay.

1:24:49

So I'm gonna cast... From a distance. Phase

1:24:51

bolt. One of my cantrops. I

1:24:54

point my hand or I point my katana and

1:24:57

I'm gonna make a ranged spell attack. Shoots

1:25:00

out of your katana. That's... Yeah,

1:25:02

shoots out of my katana. Shoots. Shoots.

1:25:04

That's gonna be 23 to hit. That's

1:25:07

it. Okay. Oh excellent. And

1:25:09

actually I even reduced... If there's any

1:25:11

circumstance bonuses to your AC I get to reduce

1:25:14

it by 2 when I do this specific spell.

1:25:16

Whoa! So cool. Pretty cool.

1:25:19

Okay. On a success

1:25:21

I deal 1d4 piercing damage. Plus

1:25:24

my spell cast ability. Probably a circumstance bonus

1:25:27

for cover. Right? Like

1:25:29

that's what cover probably is. Yeah, so the

1:25:31

phase bolt would go through. Phase

1:25:33

bolt would have been the cover. That's so cool. Pretty cool.

1:25:36

So that's gonna be a 3. 3 points of damage. 3

1:25:38

total? Wow. Real

1:25:40

cool. It's a cantro. I'm

1:25:43

out of my level 1 spell.

1:25:46

I know. That's

1:25:48

why you were like, I'll rest. Yeah, I

1:25:50

would have loved to rest. And that's my

1:25:53

turn. That's 2 actions. Cover round 2. Masked

1:25:55

woman. Oh my god and she's next to me. Okay.

1:26:00

I tried see ya damn been

1:26:02

a good fun playing with you guys. Bye I

1:26:04

won't be bringing back a cleric just man

1:26:06

and I mean because of where the pit

1:26:09

is You are practical,

1:26:11

you know and like she could stay there all

1:26:13

day and like maybe Asa can come over Last

1:26:16

time she did that slow. So standing

1:26:19

next to brother Raimius And

1:26:22

I mean I gotta I

1:26:25

gotta touch you.

1:26:28

Give me a fortitude

1:26:30

safe Basic

1:26:36

You basic you basic is

1:26:38

a critical fail coming right at ya. Oh Come

1:26:42

on North foundry. Come on 21

1:26:46

oh You'll

1:26:55

just take three points of void You

1:26:59

feel that little bit of cold into your body.

1:27:01

I didn't even feel Okay

1:27:05

down three oh and then she'll attempt

1:27:07

to stab you in the chest what

1:27:16

Yet how things can happen First

1:27:19

you're gonna take seven points of piercing.

1:27:22

Oh, come on not unlike her chill

1:27:24

touch You also take four

1:27:26

points of cold damage a

1:27:28

dagger as it enters you pierces your

1:27:30

skin Blood comes out. You

1:27:33

just feel ice in your

1:27:35

veins Yeah,

1:27:38

this is it's just really

1:27:40

hard it's really

1:27:42

really hard, okay, she

1:27:44

leans Why

1:27:52

He's just terrified separate I'm

1:27:55

gonna climb up the wall.

1:27:57

Just remind you only fall on a critical failure,

1:27:59

which be a one. Why do you say that? Just

1:28:02

one Elizabeth. One of the odds

1:28:04

that she'd roll just a one

1:28:06

on this roll. I've already

1:28:08

rolled so many ones. If you

1:28:10

succeed in all three of these checks, you will be up

1:28:12

by the end of your round. These checks, cool. Then

1:28:15

you might get an action at the end. That's

1:28:17

athletics I'm rolling? Natural

1:28:21

90. There you go. That's

1:28:24

26. That is a

1:28:26

correct. You're now five feet from the

1:28:28

left. Grab her legs and pull her into

1:28:30

the pit. Can she do that? I

1:28:33

mean, you could grapple her. Grab and

1:28:35

reposition. You can

1:28:37

shove. You can shove, yeah.

1:28:39

You would be like a grab. You can't

1:28:42

do it this turn, but it might be something to think about. Basically,

1:28:44

you can... She could grab. Climb right

1:28:46

now. She still needs to climb. You have

1:28:48

two more actions. You've got to

1:28:50

climb. Let's see what happens. Okay. I'm

1:28:53

not getting too excited, guys. That

1:28:55

one's good too. That's natural 15. Oh,

1:28:59

five and seven are always hard. Five

1:29:03

and seven are always hard. That's another crit. You're

1:29:05

able to get up. Scamper right up and

1:29:08

out of there. Yeah, so the

1:29:10

question is, you're wondering if

1:29:12

you can grapple her and throw her in? As

1:29:15

I'm coming out, grab her, chuck

1:29:17

her in. You

1:29:19

can attempt a grapple check with your third

1:29:21

action, and then next round try to reposition

1:29:24

her. So does I. You

1:29:26

can shove as a single action, but

1:29:30

I think you'd have to be in position so you have to be

1:29:33

able to shove her back into the pit. So that wouldn't work. But,

1:29:35

yeah. Also... I mean,

1:29:37

grappling would be cool. It's just you don't have

1:29:39

that third action to pull. What

1:29:41

I would say is if you wanted to grapple her

1:29:43

and fall backwards, you could both go in, but then

1:29:45

you'd be exposing yourself to that. Yeah, and he's going

1:29:48

to make you roll on his stupid high DC, and

1:29:50

then you're going to impale yourself. So,

1:29:52

grappling is just like a... I'm

1:29:55

saying for the whole thing. I

1:29:57

climb out the hole. Can I be... Like,

1:30:00

yeah? Since I can't climb up anywhere

1:30:03

else because it's all blocked. And

1:30:05

the second I fucking get up there, I

1:30:08

whack her across the face with my

1:30:10

flurry of blows. I

1:30:12

go left hook.

1:30:16

Right in the head. Left hook. Sorry,

1:30:19

everything has to stop. I

1:30:21

forgot about the bow. I don't

1:30:23

have it out. She wasn't unconscious. I

1:30:27

was just climbing. You said your bow is

1:30:29

always out. Yeah, I was just climbing and

1:30:31

I fell. So

1:30:34

if you fell and the bow was in your hand, you

1:30:37

lost the bow. That's not true. Okay,

1:30:39

if the bow was in your hand, you have to stow the bow

1:30:41

before you can climb. So

1:30:43

we're one action short. You're one action short, yeah. Why

1:30:45

are you doing this? I'm just telling you what to do.

1:30:48

No. That's not the rule. Isn't it

1:30:50

the absolute... That's you trying to... Why can't you let us

1:30:52

have fun? You have to climb with two hands. You

1:30:54

have to climb with empty hands, yeah. So that's just

1:30:56

one thing we forgot. And you did make a big point about

1:30:58

it. You halved the bow in hand, so you just stow it.

1:31:00

So just make one more... You're

1:31:03

out and that's it. You crit twice, so you're out, but your third action

1:31:05

is drawing the bow. Unless

1:31:07

you want to just start punching. I'm not drawing the

1:31:09

bow. It doesn't need the bow out to start punching.

1:31:11

She doesn't need the bow. She would spend an extra

1:31:13

action to stow the bow before she starts climbing. So

1:31:17

now her third action... I think

1:31:19

we've already moved our hands off of the chest piece of the bow. And

1:31:22

I just rolled two crits to climb. So,

1:31:25

but that's an action from a previous round.

1:31:27

We've had to stow the bow. From two

1:31:29

previous rounds. No, it's like the first

1:31:31

round. It's only the second round. Eleven

1:31:33

rounds ago. So basically,

1:31:36

last round, you fall, one action. Move, one

1:31:38

action. Second action, get up. Third action, grab

1:31:40

your bow. Unless you

1:31:42

leave the bow down. Fourth action, stow it. So

1:31:44

we're being nice, actually. She can also free action,

1:31:46

have dropped the bow. Yes,

1:31:49

you can leave it at the bottom of the pit and fall

1:31:51

out. If you want to leave the bow down there, then you

1:31:53

can still have the action. Go get it after we kill this

1:31:55

lady. Or can you force pull

1:31:57

it up? I don't know. Oh, nature.

1:32:00

my turn getting convoluted at the point

1:32:02

so I feel like it's over. Yeah, well we messed

1:32:04

around with this before, we let people climb with the

1:32:06

weapons. I think Lucky's done it.

1:32:08

Yeah, and we're not supposed to do it. I

1:32:11

think you could leave it down there if you

1:32:13

want, and just we could get it later and

1:32:15

I could maybe use my deviant ability to get

1:32:17

it. I mean, yeah, we could

1:32:19

do that. Just because

1:32:21

I'm not going to use it in this room if she can blink. Even

1:32:23

if I get far away from her. That's

1:32:26

so frustrating. I'm fine with

1:32:28

Red Conning to say you leave it down there. That's

1:32:30

kind of what we did without meaning

1:32:33

to it. Yeah, let's just do

1:32:35

that because... You want to punch me? You're

1:32:37

a monk, you're a ninja! If I roll

1:32:39

shitty on this, Joe, I'm coming for you.

1:32:42

Why me? I'm calling it. If you roll shitty

1:32:44

on this, what does that have to do with the bow? He's

1:32:46

going to kill your character. This

1:32:48

is Mackie, your character instead. So yeah,

1:32:50

last action, Floria blows, left

1:32:53

hook to the head. Ooh, let's

1:32:55

go! Max, max, max, 23 to

1:32:57

hit. Bam, bam, bam!

1:32:59

Hit. Hit, and then the fortitude

1:33:01

save stuff. How do you

1:33:03

want to do this, the order? Now,

1:33:06

this stunning fifth has the incapacitation trick, right?

1:33:09

Yes. Which means you can't do it to creatures

1:33:11

that are of a higher level than you. I

1:33:13

can't remember. No, their success has just stepped up.

1:33:15

So we have to critically fail to just fail.

1:33:18

Right. So fort save, I

1:33:20

doubt that I critically failed with a...

1:33:24

If you didn't roll a one, you didn't critically fail. Yeah, no,

1:33:27

I didn't. I just can't find my fort save right there.

1:33:29

I'm very fired up. Oh, but the

1:33:31

rules for me, but the rules for him? What's

1:33:35

your fort save? What? Alright, I'll tell

1:33:37

you. Okay, if you tell me. And

1:33:39

while I'm doing this... Nineteen. Nineteen,

1:33:42

yeah. Is that a critical failure? No, that's a

1:33:44

success. It's just a flat out success. I critically

1:33:46

succeeded. I critically succeeded. So... You

1:33:49

fall back in the pit. Exactly! This...

1:33:51

Just stand yourself. This

1:33:54

is why you guys are my friends. So

1:33:56

that's five points of damage from my

1:33:58

friends. and then I

1:34:00

take my foot because I was I thought

1:34:02

I had my bow in my hand still so I was gonna like do

1:34:04

my leg

1:34:07

but like a like a

1:34:09

right rear front kick But I'm

1:34:11

still gonna do it even though my bow's not in my

1:34:14

hand. So love it 20

1:34:18

23 again 23 Wow,

1:34:21

amazing Six

1:34:26

points a day Just

1:34:29

confirming she has no resistances that's

1:34:32

combined because those are combined just

1:34:35

Unless that was a cold or void punch,

1:34:37

right? Okay void So

1:34:43

she's bloodied she's diseased probably but

1:34:45

she's Still

1:34:47

kicking taken and fighting this void lady,

1:34:49

you know, who's not kicking brother. Amius.

1:34:51

No brother Amius is Zephyr's

1:34:55

up and out so he is going he he

1:34:58

just has to run away from this woman He

1:35:00

can't fight this woman toe to toe. So he

1:35:02

is going to step away and

1:35:07

The thing is with this teleport she can just show up

1:35:09

at any moment. We don't know if she can do it all

1:35:11

the time It's felt like a

1:35:13

reaction to me. It was a reaction. So I mean

1:35:15

if it's like a Reactionary

1:35:17

spell that's like you can use it once like

1:35:19

a focus point or something like that Then we'd

1:35:21

be good But if she can

1:35:24

move every time once per round that we move up to

1:35:26

her that's gonna we're gonna have to do ranged attacks to

1:35:28

get her out True

1:35:32

and your knowledge did not tell us Well,

1:35:36

I blame short because he he I asked for

1:35:38

weaknesses and then he decided and then he You

1:35:41

asked for it And

1:35:44

who's that they have none. Yeah, you know what? What

1:35:48

is the coolest ability? Yeah What's

1:35:50

the most OP thing it has well, I bet you there

1:35:53

are people like to have weaknesses and I say no What

1:35:55

is the eastern is it now? What is the aspect of

1:35:58

her you would least like us to know? That's

1:36:00

how a knowledge check works. You can't be like,

1:36:02

all right, I'm trying to understand what this creature

1:36:04

is and what they do. And

1:36:07

you're like, you didn't ask your brain for weight.

1:36:09

Right? He's holding a dagger. All

1:36:12

right, so I am going to move. Okay,

1:36:15

you move away from the creature.

1:36:18

It's what he thought. You

1:36:20

need your help? Actually.

1:36:23

Ouch. Ouch. Oh,

1:36:28

man, this is so tough because you

1:36:31

have to do cold now, don't you, Bug? Or

1:36:33

no, are you not all... You

1:36:35

don't have to worry about that yet. No, I do. I

1:36:38

always do. Yeah, oscillating

1:36:40

John. Oscillating John. Okay,

1:36:43

so he's just going to move

1:36:45

away back behind Bugles and he

1:36:47

will cast guidance on Talisa for

1:36:51

your next role, whether that ends up being a save

1:36:53

or a battle. Oh,

1:36:56

you're down? Yeah. Oh, I

1:36:58

can't balance anything. I can't balance anything. That's why.

1:37:00

I remember it. That's why. What

1:37:02

we did to you today. Yeah. Oh,

1:37:04

wow. Actually, I have a question. Sorry,

1:37:07

I have a question. We have a question.

1:37:09

Because so with the oscillating

1:37:11

wave, whenever I use magic, it

1:37:15

says the text

1:37:17

of it that I have here. Whenever I

1:37:19

use my magic to add or remove energy,

1:37:21

I must balance it with

1:37:23

the opposing force. So,

1:37:26

if I'm just using the cantrip, spell or

1:37:28

cantrip as is, and not like, you know,

1:37:30

like ignite, I'm not adding energy to it.

1:37:33

It just has energy. Does that

1:37:35

mean that I have to counterbalance it the next round or does it mean

1:37:37

do I not have to do it?

1:37:39

I don't know. I

1:37:41

need a course on that character.

1:37:43

Yeah, I don't know. Is this all the time? Or

1:37:45

I thought that this only happened when you needed a

1:37:47

niche to psyche. No, no, no. There's

1:37:51

no condition for

1:37:53

when I'm psyching

1:37:55

system all the time. Okay. That's

1:37:58

what I don't. I don't know. It

1:38:02

says that you are, yeah, it

1:38:05

has to, a granite spell or a psy

1:38:07

cantrip, that's a cantrip, right, ignition? So

1:38:10

yeah, if you cast a psy cantrip, adding

1:38:13

energy means adding fire. Removing energy means making

1:38:15

it cold. So it doesn't matter if you

1:38:18

cast frostbite or ignition. It switches. Either way,

1:38:20

you have to make it cold in the

1:38:22

next one, if the first one's fire. Yeah,

1:38:24

okay. And so, yeah, I think that you're

1:38:26

kind of- The thing that I was missing

1:38:29

is that it

1:38:33

says when you use your magic to add or

1:38:35

remove energy? No. Because there's

1:38:38

something in the text I'm missing here, but it's

1:38:40

like you have to make a decision when you

1:38:42

cast a spell 100% of the time.

1:38:44

You have to make a decision whether to

1:38:46

add energy or remove energy. The first time

1:38:48

in an encounter that you cast a granite

1:38:50

spell or a psy cantrip from your conscious

1:38:53

mind, decide whether you're adding energy or- Decide

1:38:55

whether you can't not decide. Yeah. Cants

1:38:57

just like cast a spell. Choose not to run. So

1:39:00

that was what I was missing. So

1:39:02

you can stop writing your

1:39:04

emails. Ah! Fingers

1:39:08

down, everybody. Well, ultimately the way

1:39:10

I see this is like, this

1:39:12

is just an opponent that is

1:39:14

uniquely designed. No, yeah, this is

1:39:16

like one of the things where

1:39:18

it really hurts me is like

1:39:20

having a opponent that I know

1:39:22

is resistant to one of these two

1:39:24

types of damages I can do and I have to

1:39:26

do it. I have no choice. Yeah. It's

1:39:29

like you get one round on, one round

1:39:31

off. Right. Fighting. Yeah. Okay.

1:39:35

Is that, that was Brother Raymond,

1:39:37

that was Bugle's, Bugle's, it's

1:39:40

you, right? It is my turn, oh, okay. But were

1:39:42

you done Brother Raymond? Yeah, you moved back and- Yeah,

1:39:44

I moved back and I granted aid to Talitha. I

1:39:47

said, I'm sorry. I died to Bugle. No,

1:39:50

Talitha. Oh, Talitha, you did too. So-

1:39:53

Because I figured Bugles was on cold in the ground. He's

1:39:56

on cold. He's on cold, I called duty.

1:40:00

So, Buggles,

1:40:02

his psyche

1:40:04

is unleashed,

1:40:07

this swirling mass

1:40:09

of little tiny ice crystals. And I

1:40:11

want to clarify something to

1:40:14

Matt Brody, our exceptional

1:40:17

cinematographer, who raised this question.

1:40:19

He wasn't really sure what this was.

1:40:21

But Koolikan is the spirit,

1:40:24

this vengeful spirit, that

1:40:28

the goblin folk, like from where Buggles

1:40:31

comes from, that they have

1:40:33

knowledge of. And

1:40:36

Siaka Ak is this prophesied

1:40:39

mythological hero that can harness

1:40:41

the power of the Koolikan

1:40:44

to free

1:40:46

the goblin people. So

1:40:51

when I say Koolikan, that's the actual being

1:40:53

that lives within him. He hopes to be

1:40:55

Siaka Ak one day, or his

1:40:57

mentor thought that he might be Siaka Ak

1:41:00

one day. Anyway,

1:41:02

so the Koolikan emerges and

1:41:04

surrounded by cold, knowing that

1:41:07

this is not going to

1:41:09

affect this creature in the

1:41:11

way that he wishes it

1:41:13

would. So instead,

1:41:16

the Koolikan reaches into

1:41:18

Buggles' satchel, produces the

1:41:20

hound, places it

1:41:22

down on the table, and activates it. You

1:41:29

reach down, place this tiny

1:41:32

little figure on the table, and

1:41:35

it's two actions to

1:41:37

activate it. And so

1:41:39

you activate

1:41:41

it. And

1:41:43

we'll see you next week.
