  JarJim: Hello, weary traveler.
• 0:12
  JarJim: I'm not sure what strange magic
• 0:14
  JarJim: must have brought you here, but
• 0:15
  JarJim: you have stepped into a realm of
• 0:17
  JarJim: my creation.
• 0:19
  JarJim: A sprawling city filled with danger and glory, and most
• 0:22
  JarJim: importantly, lots of gold.
• 0:25
  JarJim: I call it Islanew.
• 0:28
  JarJim: Who am I?
• 0:28
  JarJim: You might ask?
• 0:30
  JarJim: The name is Jade and I'm the patron deity of gambling.
• 0:34
  JarJim: Long story short, this group of idiots, or as you may call them
• 0:39
  JarJim: heroes, made a bet with me that they had what it took to make a
• 0:42
  JarJim: vast trove of gold, but left some of the key details blank.
• 0:47
  JarJim: So I filled them in myself.
• 0:49
  JarJim: I sent them to this pocket dimension, into the city I had
• 0:53
  JarJim: created with brand new bodies they'd have to attune to.
• 0:57
  JarJim: Can these fools passed my test?
• 1:00
  JarJim: Or will they be trapped here forever?
• 1:02
  JarJim: So experience my world of trials
• 1:05
  JarJim: and tribulations and join
• 1:07
  JarJim: alongside this posse of pitiful
• 1:09
  JarJim: people.

• 1:25
  Skyler: from last time, because you
• 1:26

• 1:27
  Skyler: episode, or who knows how many
• 1:28
  Skyler: episodes you're behind, you
• 1:29

• 1:34
  Skyler: weird.
• 1:34

• 2:31
  Skyler: Yes, you still have your tonsils out.
• 2:33
  Skyler: I don't think they're coming back in.
• 2:35
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Dave: Hopefully, if the surgeon did their job right.
• 2:39
  Dave: Never.
• 2:40
  Skyler: Yeah, but just in case he does have them in a jar at his house,
• 2:44
  Skyler: they're sitting in his room.
• 2:45
  Dave: They took them from me.
• 2:47
  Dave: Never gave them back.
• 2:48
  Dave: And I'm suing them.
• 2:50
  Jackson: Did you ask?
• 2:51
  Jackson: No. Oh, well, that's your fault.
• 2:53
  Skyler: I swear, when I was a kid, I must have, like, asked.
• 2:56
  Skyler: I must have been like.
• 2:56
  Skyler: What did tonsils look like?
• 2:58
  Skyler: And the doctor, this this sick man that he was thought, oh,
• 3:01
  Skyler: man, I'm going to show this kid.
• 3:02
  Skyler: He put the I swear I, I need to ask my mom if this is what
• 3:06
  Skyler: happened, because she obviously was there because I was like
• 3:08
  Skyler: eight or whatever.
• 3:10
  Jackson: This.
• 3:10
  Fatty Lumpkins: Was last week.
• 3:13
  Skyler: But I swear the doctor, like, I
• 3:15
  Skyler: wake up from this drug induced
• 3:17
  Skyler: sleep and he's like, here they
• 3:19
  Skyler: are.
• 3:20
  Skyler: And he just like holds this thing.
• 3:21
  Skyler: And it was disgusting.
• 3:23
  Skyler: They put it in this freaky stuff.
• 3:25
  Skyler: Um, I swear there was stuff floating around in there.
• 3:28
  Skyler: And then you could see this sort of like fleshy something in
• 3:31
  Skyler: there that was, was my tonsils and I, I didn't like that.
• 3:35
  Skyler: I didn't like that.
• 3:36
  Skyler: And it's my own fault, to be fair, because I asked, but I
• 3:39
  Skyler: remember this like too well and I hate it.
• 3:42
  Jackson: I'd want to take him home.
• 3:43
  Fatty Lumpkins: So what do you do with that dude?
• 3:44
  Fatty Lumpkins: Like, just throw him in the garbage?
• 3:45
  Jackson: Or they probably put it into like, a waste bin, I'm sure.
• 3:49
  Jackson: What else are you going to do?
• 3:50
  Jackson: You can't put him in anywhere.
• 3:52
  Dave: On the paperwork.
• 3:53
  Dave: Said that if they take my tonsils.
• 3:56
  Dave: They take them to a local hospital, do testing on them,
• 4:00
  Dave: and then dispose of them.
• 4:01
  Jackson: How do you dispose of like, what do they need to test?
• 4:04
  Jackson: HMM.
• 4:04
  Jackson: You poke at it and see what do they need?
• 4:06
  Skyler: Oh, no, it's not alive without the hose.
• 4:09
  Jackson: You just burn them.
• 4:09
  Jackson: Do they incinerate them?
• 4:11
  Jackson: Probably.
• 4:12
  Jackson: Or throw them out?
• 4:13
  Jackson: I'm sure you just.
• 4:14
  Jackson: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 4:15
  Jackson: Like when?
• 4:16
  Jackson: When?
• 4:17
  Jackson: Yeah.
• 4:17
  Jackson: That's how I was just curious.
• 4:18
  Skyler: Like when one of my favorite movies of all times.
• 4:21
  Skyler: Gentlemen.
• 4:21
  Skyler: Broncos.
• 4:22
  Skyler: There's a scene.
• 4:24
  Skyler: If you know it, there's there's sort of like the, the kid who's
• 4:27
  Skyler: writing the book.
• 4:27
  Skyler: And then you see the book, like in, in fiction, right?
• 4:30
  Skyler: Like what's going on?
• 4:31
  Skyler: Um, there's a scene where Bronco, the hero of his book,
• 4:35
  Skyler: wakes up after having his nads removed by the evil Lord Decius,
• 4:39
  Skyler: who's going to use them to replicate him into a whole army
• 4:43
  Skyler: of of Broncos anyway.
• 4:46
  Skyler: So he's like, I gotta get my nads back.
• 4:48
  Skyler: And so he runs over to the the area of the room and there's
• 4:51
  Skyler: just like six jars.
• 4:52
  Skyler: And a lot of them look like
• 4:54
  Skyler: exactly what the doctor had
• 4:55
  Skyler: showed me when I had my tonsils
• 4:56
  Skyler: out.
• 4:57
  Skyler: And he he grabs one and then he, he kind of looks at him because
• 5:00
  Skyler: he's like, what the heck?
• 5:01
  Skyler: I don't know which one it is.
• 5:02
  Skyler: He grabs one and he walks away, and then he comes back and he
• 5:05
  Skyler: just grabs like three more.
• 5:07
  Skyler: And so then like later, you just see him like sitting on the
• 5:09
  Skyler: beach and his back is turned and he just has like a needle on a
• 5:12
  Skyler: string and he's just going, ah.
• 5:15
  Skyler: And then, and then someone this, this chick comes up and she
• 5:19
  Skyler: picks up one of them and drops them on the ground.
• 5:20
  Skyler: It shatters the jar and he goes,
• 5:22
  Skyler: that was my backup nad but
• 5:24
  Skyler: anyway, that's all I think
• 5:25
  Skyler: about.
• 5:25
  Skyler: Every time I, uh, every time I
• 5:27
  Skyler: talk about the tonsils or vice
• 5:28
  Skyler: versa, I watch Gentlemen
• 5:29
  Skyler: Broncos.
• 5:29
  Skyler: I'm like, oh, those look like like tonsils.
• 5:32
  Dave: Dude, your brain for a half second.
• 5:34
  Dave: When you saw the tonsils as a kid thing, they cut off my nuts.
• 5:37
  Dave: Cut off my nads.
• 5:39
  Jackson: Dennis, you were moved.
• 5:40
  Jackson: The wrong thing.
• 5:43
  Dave: Dear Lord.
• 5:45
  Skyler: I needed that.
• 5:46
  Skyler: At least I have two.
• 5:48
  Skyler: They're gonna have to give me a fake one.
• 5:49
  Skyler: Like who's that?
• 5:50
  Skyler: Who's the, uh, Lance Armstrong?
• 5:53
  Jackson: Yeah.
• 5:55
  Skyler: Uh, with that being said, we still have to introduce Quinn,
• 5:57
  Skyler: who's playing Roarke.
• 5:59
  Skyler: Uh.
• 6:00
  Skyler: Huh.
• 6:00
  Skyler: Aw, sorry.
• 6:00
  Skyler: Gosh, Quinn.
• 6:01
  Skyler: Who's playing Lil source?
• 6:02
  Dave: There's two.
• 6:04
  Dave: I don't think this part.
• 6:05
  Dave: I don't think this podcast can handle.
• 6:07
  Skyler: I don't think it can, either.
• 6:08
  Skyler: Even if one has his tonsils out.
• 6:11
  Jackson: For those things away.
• 6:14
  Skyler: You.
• 6:15
  Dave: You cut one out.
• 6:16
  Jackson: He's got his tonsils out.
• 6:18
  Skyler: Uh, with that being said, we will get back into the action
• 6:21
  Skyler: with criminals of Islanew.
• 6:30
  Skyler: All right, where we last left
• 6:31
  Skyler: off, you guys were infiltrating
• 6:33
  Skyler: Alexandria desk.
• 6:34
  Skyler: Walker's tower.
• 6:35
  Skyler: Her her desk.
• 6:36
  Skyler: Walker's dust walker industries.
• 6:39
  Skyler: Uh, the home that she allegedly lives in, the penthouse at the
• 6:42
  Skyler: top of which is where you guys are trying to get to.
• 6:44
  Skyler: So you can execute her, for lack of better terms.
• 6:49
  Skyler: Uh, with that being said, you guys had gone through a room
• 6:53
  Skyler: where stepping on the floor meant being thrown about and
• 6:56
  Skyler: potential doom, you guys managed to overcome that obstacle.
• 6:59
  Skyler: You guys made it to the second floor where there was a living
• 7:01
  Skyler: giant carpet, which you guys, uh, named the the Carpet Dragon,
• 7:06
  Skyler: which I think is actually a pretty fantastic name.
• 7:08
  Skyler: I love that, uh, you guys were able to defeat it.
• 7:11
  Skyler: Now you're on the third room,
• 7:12
  Skyler: third floor, technically fourth
• 7:14
  Skyler: floor.
• 7:14
  Skyler: If you don't count the main floor or if you count them.
• 7:16
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 7:17
  Skyler: Anyway, um, and you guys have just seen this giant room.
• 7:21
  Skyler: It's got a various scattered fat
• 7:24
  Skyler: caps and hats like you guys have
• 7:25
  Skyler: seen earlier.
• 7:26
  Skyler: This is what the company is kind of based on.
• 7:28
  Skyler: And wearing some of these hats scattered throughout the room
• 7:31
  Skyler: are mannequins, classic mannequins like you'd see in the
• 7:35
  Skyler: store, little model.
• 7:36
  Skyler: They're all in different poses and what have you.
• 7:40
  Skyler: What do you do?
• 7:41
  Jackson: Does Dez, uh, sniff out a construct?
• 7:44
  Skyler: That is a great question.
• 7:45
  Skyler: Let me scroll down my notes.
• 7:47
  Skyler: Oh, he does.
• 7:50
  Jackson: He does?
• 7:50
  Jackson: Yes!
• 7:51
  Jackson: Smashing it!
• 7:52
  Jackson: Smash, smash that thing with my Warhammer.
• 7:56
  Skyler: Okay, uh, here's what I'm gonna
• 7:58
  Skyler: do is I am going to keep the
• 8:00
  Skyler: initiative order from last
• 8:02
  Skyler: battle that we did with the
• 8:03
  Skyler: carpet, since for us, recording
• 8:05
  Skyler: two episodes in a night was just
• 8:08
  Skyler: recently.
• 8:09
  Skyler: Uh, with that being said, I will
• 8:11
  Skyler: add these totally normal
• 8:14
  Skyler: non-living mannequins.
• 8:18
  Skyler: However you spell that word to
• 8:20
  Skyler: that, uh, order for no reason
• 8:22
  Skyler: whatsoever.
• 8:23
  Skyler: All right, I've got it.
• 8:25
  Skyler: I'm gonna let you do a first attack.
• 8:28
  Jackson: Awesome.
• 8:29
  Skyler: I'm I'm gonna say that's fair in my opinion.
• 8:31
  Skyler: So, uh, you've got your hammer out, I'm guessing.
• 8:34
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Skyler: And you're just going in to slam
• 8:36
  Skyler: the the closest mannequin to
• 8:38
  Skyler: you.
• 8:39
  Jackson: Uh, yeah.
• 8:40
  Skyler: Okay.
• 8:40
  Jackson: That's the that's the plan.
• 8:42
  Skyler: Right on.
• 8:43
  Skyler: Go for it.
• 8:46
  Jackson: Uh, twenty one twenty one.
• 8:48
  Skyler: Definitely hits.
• 8:49
  Jackson: Perfect.
• 8:50
  Jackson: So it's a five five.
• 8:52
  Skyler: Damage.
• 8:52
  Jackson: Five damage.
• 8:53
  Skyler: Okay, um, you swing this hammer
• 8:56
  Skyler: down and it just crushes this
• 8:59
  Skyler: mannequin.
• 9:00
  Skyler: Uh, hat just flattens all the way down to the ground.
• 9:03
  Skyler: Uh, below it is just a pile of white fluff.
• 9:07
  Skyler: At this point.
• 9:08
  Jackson: He springs back up and makes an accordion noise.
• 9:11
  Skyler: With that being said, as you
• 9:13
  Skyler: destroy this particular
• 9:15
  Skyler: mannequin you guys all see, as
• 9:17
  Skyler: every single mannequin in this
• 9:18
  Skyler: room turns their heads towards
• 9:20
  Skyler: you and start to, in very stiff
• 9:23
  Skyler: motion, move their way towards
• 9:25
  Skyler: you.
• 9:26
  Skyler: Uh, their legs don't bend.
• 9:27
  Skyler: They don't have like an, uh, a hinge at the knee like we do.
• 9:32
  Skyler: They, their legs move very stiffly, like the whole leg
• 9:35
  Skyler: moves when it wants to walk.
• 9:37
  Skyler: It's terrifying.
• 9:38
  Skyler: Their arms start to outstretch towards you, and you see these
• 9:41
  Skyler: dark tendrils start to kind of emanate from their hands.
• 9:45
  Skyler: They are a swarm.
• 9:47
  Skyler: Um, and they rush towards you guys.
• 9:49
  Skyler: Lil Source, you are first in the initiative order.
• 9:52
  Jackson: How far away is this thing?
• 9:53
  Skyler: Uh, it's coming right towards you.
• 9:55
  Skyler: It's probably within fifteen.
• 9:56
  Skyler: Uh, there's not a number.
• 9:59
  Jackson: Just one.
• 10:00
  Skyler: Let's say there's ninety five.
• 10:03
  Jackson: Wow.
• 10:03
  Dave: What have you.
• 10:04
  Dave: What have you done.
• 10:05
  Jackson: Coming at it?
• 10:06
  Jackson: Yeah, all all of us are just wanted coming.
• 10:08
  Jackson: Like, I mean, I know, like they're all like.
• 10:10
  Skyler: From all directions.
• 10:11
  Skyler: They're swarming towards you.
• 10:12
  Jackson: Like there were that many mannequins in the room.
• 10:15
  Jackson: Thunder wave.
• 10:16
  Jackson: Oh. Good idea.
• 10:18
  Jackson: There you go.
• 10:18
  Skyler: That's not bad at all.
• 10:20
  Jackson: This is.
• 10:20
  Jackson: This is where the casters are gonna shine.
• 10:22
  Jackson: Yeah, I agree.
• 10:23
  Jackson: Ayo, the Thunder's boom audible at three hundred feet, though.
• 10:26
  Jackson: Is that gonna alert like everybody in the castle?
• 10:29
  Skyler: Well, as far as you know, you don't know of anybody in the
• 10:32
  Skyler: castle at the moment.
• 10:33
  Jackson: There's one person.
• 10:33
  Jackson: Well, there's one person above us.
• 10:36
  Skyler: Oh, yeah.
• 10:36
  Skyler: That's true.
• 10:37
  Jackson: Yes. Was not actually gonna escape.
• 10:40
  Jackson: Or she could, you know, I'm gonna do it anyway.
• 10:44
  Jackson: Okay.
• 10:44
  Jackson: You gotta do.
• 10:45
  Skyler: The. Oh. They roll.
• 10:46
  Jackson: Yeah.
• 10:46
  Skyler: Okay. Thankfully, as a swarm,
• 10:48
  Skyler: it's all one stat block, which
• 10:50
  Skyler: is helpful for me because
• 10:51
  Skyler: obviously I don't want to sit
• 10:52
  Skyler: here and roll for ninety five
• 10:53
  Skyler: different records.
• 10:54
  Skyler: Is it deck safe or con safe?
• 10:56
  Jackson: Constitution.
• 10:57
  Skyler: Constitution.
• 10:59
  Skyler: I have a thirteen.
• 11:00
  Skyler: Yours save.
• 11:01
  Skyler: DC is a thirteen, but I think
• 11:03
  Skyler: the typically goes to the
• 11:05
  Skyler: attacker.
• 11:05
  Skyler: So I'm gonna say it works.
• 11:07
  Jackson: All right so it's twenty eight
• 11:08
  Jackson: Thunder damage and pushed ten
• 11:10
  Jackson: feet back.
• 11:11
  Skyler: Nice. Okay. Keep them at bay.
• 11:12
  Skyler: All right.
• 11:13
  Skyler: Uh, roll twenty eight for the damage.
• 11:15
  Skyler: Let me know what you get.
• 11:19
  Skyler: How much damage?
• 11:20
  Skyler: Two, two.
• 11:21
  Skyler: Wow.
• 11:21
  Skyler: All right, nicely done.
• 11:22
  Skyler: All right.
• 11:23
  Skyler: Well, hey, at the very least, they're pushed back an
• 11:25
  Skyler: additional ten feet.
• 11:26
  Skyler: They actually kind of, um, like it's such a wall of force or
• 11:30
  Skyler: sort of a sphere of force that happens and it sort of knocks
• 11:33
  Skyler: them back into each other.
• 11:34
  Skyler: So they all kind of like topple
• 11:35
  Skyler: on top of each other to some
• 11:37
  Skyler: extent.
• 11:37
  Skyler: Um, it's almost kind of comical
• 11:39
  Skyler: if it weren't for how freaky
• 11:41
  Skyler: they are.
• 11:41
  Skyler: Um, with that being said, uh,
• 11:44
  Skyler: you did hit and I think that was
• 11:45
  Skyler: pretty cool.
• 11:46
  Skyler: And we jump over to Roric.
• 11:49
  Jackson: Yeah. Um.
• 11:51
  Dave: Question how much do these things weigh?
• 11:54
  Skyler: Probably.
• 11:55
  Skyler: Probably ten pounds.
• 11:58
  Dave: Is there any little ones?
• 11:59
  Skyler: Any little ones?
• 12:00
  Jackson: Yeah.
• 12:01
  Skyler: I don't think there's any like.
• 12:03
  Skyler: Oh, you know what?
• 12:04
  Skyler: Sure.
• 12:04
  Skyler: There's some child.
• 12:06
  Skyler: Yes.
• 12:06
  Skyler: There's some child ones.
• 12:07
  Dave: This makes us funnier.
• 12:08
  Dave: Okay, so he points up at small one.
• 12:13
  Skyler: There's one little kid.
• 12:15
  Dave: And a.
• 12:15
  Skyler: Mannequin.
• 12:16
  Dave: And he.
• 12:17
  Dave: And he points it out with his and his spectral mage hand.
• 12:21
  Dave: Okay.
• 12:22
  Dave: Kind of flies out to it, and he points it out and he just picks
• 12:25
  Dave: it up with his hand.
• 12:27
  Dave: Okay.
• 12:27
  Dave: And throws it as hard as he can at one of the adult ones.
• 12:31
  Dave: And he's casting catapult.
• 12:32
  Skyler: Catapult. Okay, nice.
• 12:34
  Skyler: Okay. Now, does this only target one?
• 12:38
  Dave: It technically goes up to ninety feet, but stops when it hits.
• 12:42
  Jackson: Okay, okay.
• 12:43
  Dave: So it's 3D a yes to both targets.
• 12:46
  Dave: Nineteen damage, nineteen damage.
• 12:49
  Skyler: Wow. Um, so both mannequins, uh,
• 12:51
  Skyler: it's almost like, it's like
• 12:53
  Skyler: bowling.
• 12:54
  Skyler: It hits an adult mannequin,
• 12:57
  Skyler: which kind of falls back into
• 12:58
  Skyler: the pile of mannequins that are
• 13:00
  Skyler: picking themselves up from the,
• 13:01
  Skyler: the previous spell, um, knocking
• 13:03
  Skyler: them over.
• 13:04
  Skyler: But the two that the child
• 13:06
  Skyler: mannequin and the adult
• 13:07
  Skyler: mannequin that he hit directly,
• 13:09
  Skyler: both just pieces of there's
• 13:11
  Skyler: arms, legs, head roll in various
• 13:14
  Skyler: directions completely just D
• 13:16
  Skyler: particulate, um, in, in
• 13:19
  Skyler: different directions.
• 13:19
  Skyler: I think I used that word
• 13:20
  Skyler: correctly, but um, yeah, so
• 13:22
  Skyler: yeah, that's, that's how you
• 13:23
  Skyler: kind of have left things for
• 13:25
  Skyler: him.
• 13:25
  Skyler: So well done, well done.
• 13:27
  Skyler: Um anything else?
• 13:28
  Dave: Yeah. From my bonus action.
• 13:31
  Dave: Um, I'm going to use it on, I'm going to say because des is in
• 13:35
  Dave: the middle of them all.
• 13:36
  Dave: Okay.
• 13:37
  Dave: Uh, just going to say des beat him, smash him.
• 13:42
  Dave: Wait, wait.
• 13:43
  Dave: Cleave them to the brisket.
• 13:45
  Skyler: Cleave them to the brisket.
• 13:48
  Skyler: Okay. And you're giving him the bardic inspiration.
• 13:51
  Skyler: Okay.
• 13:52
  Skyler: Fantastic.
• 13:52
  Skyler: Just in time, because is now Des's turn.
• 13:55
  Jackson: Is that D?
• 13:56
  Dave: That's a D six added to any rule.
• 13:58
  Jackson: Gotcha. Very nice.
• 13:59
  Jackson: Okay, cool.
• 14:01
  Jackson: Uh, before I do anything major, do I see is there like a, a
• 14:07
  Jackson: switch or something for the constructs or is it just it's a
• 14:11
  Jackson: horde of mannequins and we just need to run to the other end of
• 14:15
  Jackson: the room kind of thing.
• 14:16
  Skyler: I think I would say that you looking over the mannequins, you
• 14:19
  Skyler: don't see any switches on them.
• 14:21
  Skyler: Uh, these are like enchanted constructs.
• 14:24
  Skyler: So they run on magic.
• 14:26
  Jackson: Um, can I roll investigation to
• 14:28
  Jackson: see if I see a magical, like,
• 14:30
  Jackson: control apparatus?
• 14:32
  Skyler: Okay. Yeah, do.
• 14:33
  Skyler: And because constructs are your
• 14:35
  Skyler: favorite enemy, I would say do
• 14:36
  Skyler: it with advantage, but yeah,
• 14:37
  Skyler: absolutely.
• 14:37
  Skyler: Go for it.
• 14:38
  Jackson: Okay. Nat twenty.
• 14:41
  Skyler: Nat twenty.
• 14:41
  Skyler: Okay. These are triggered by touch.
• 14:48
  Skyler: Uh, you get the sensation from the magic that anything that
• 14:51
  Skyler: touches them, if they touch you.
• 14:54
  Skyler: Um, you also know that the spell that has been enchanted into
• 14:58
  Skyler: them, it works in two ways.
• 15:00
  Skyler: There's an initial way where the mannequins cannot move when
• 15:03
  Skyler: they're being seen.
• 15:04
  Skyler: Okay.
• 15:05
  Skyler: But that is the it's sort of like a it's like coding, right?
• 15:09
  Skyler: If this then this.
• 15:11
  Skyler: Right, right.
• 15:12
  Skyler: Um, if they have not been touched, then they cannot move
• 15:15
  Skyler: while being looked at.
• 15:16
  Skyler: But it's a classic, um, weeping angel rules and if touched, it
• 15:22
  Skyler: cancels out the prior sort of coding that they had.
• 15:26
  Skyler: Moves them into sort of
• 15:27
  Skyler: basically just attack mode at
• 15:28
  Skyler: that point.
• 15:29
  Skyler: So, um, granted, at this point, I mean, unless, you know, some
• 15:33
  Skyler: way to reset the enchantment, they're in attack mode.
• 15:37
  Jackson: It's just fight our way out.
• 15:38
  Jackson: Yeah.
• 15:38
  Jackson: Okay.
• 15:39
  Jackson: Dez is is going to have his swarm attack one of them.
• 15:43
  Jackson: Okay, which is a. One d6 okay.
• 15:46
  Jackson: And they did two damage, two damage.
• 15:49
  Jackson: Okay.
• 15:49
  Jackson: To just.
• 15:50
  Jackson: Something and then Dez is going to follow up on that said
• 15:53
  Jackson: mannequin with a hammer.
• 15:55
  Skyler: Okay, nice.
• 15:58
  Jackson: And that's a sixteen to hit sixteen.
• 16:00
  Skyler: Oh yeah that hits.
• 16:01
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 16:02
  Jackson: Okay. That's ten damage.
• 16:04
  Skyler: ten extra damage.
• 16:05
  Skyler: Oh look at these even numbers I'm working with.
• 16:07
  Skyler: This is great.
• 16:07
  Skyler: Your, uh, twig blights, they
• 16:09
  Skyler: sort of swarm this one and they
• 16:11
  Skyler: start grabbing onto the the
• 16:13
  Skyler: legs.
• 16:13
  Skyler: And I think they managed to rip one leg off.
• 16:15
  Skyler: And then you come by and you slam into it now.
• 16:18
  Skyler: Okay.
• 16:18
  Skyler: I shouldn't have said there were
• 16:19
  Skyler: ninety five mannequins at the
• 16:21
  Skyler: beginning.
• 16:22
  Skyler: I did.
• 16:23
  Skyler: So just know that when you guys are hitting them, you're
• 16:25
  Skyler: probably killing multiple right in one hit.
• 16:29
  Skyler: If anything.
• 16:30
  Jackson: It's like here, this is going to be the whole hour.
• 16:32
  Skyler: Yeah, it's just one by one.
• 16:34
  Skyler: Unless, you know, obviously whoever can get some AoE stuff.
• 16:37
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 16:38
  Skyler: Um, so, uh, at this point, you're nearly down.
• 16:41
  Skyler: You, you look across the room at the scattered bits and pieces
• 16:45
  Skyler: and you're nearly at about half of the mannequins left.
• 16:49
  Skyler: Uh, with that being said, it is the mannequins turn.
• 16:52
  Skyler: Uh, I'm gonna say that they
• 16:54
  Skyler: break off into two separate
• 16:57
  Skyler: swarms.
• 16:58
  Skyler: One swarm goes for definitely for des.
• 17:03
  Skyler: The second swarm goes for, I'm
• 17:06
  Skyler: gonna say Lil sauce after what
• 17:08
  Skyler: he he did with his slamming
• 17:10
  Skyler: down.
• 17:10
  Jackson: Very nice.
• 17:11
  Skyler: Uh.
• 17:12
  Jackson: They saw what you've done.
• 17:13
  Skyler: They saw what you did, and they're upset.
• 17:15
  Skyler: So, uh, for des, first off, I'm gonna do the first one is a
• 17:20
  Skyler: sixteen to hit.
• 17:21
  Jackson: Uh, negatory.
• 17:22
  Skyler: Okay, so they start swarming around you and they're swinging
• 17:25
  Skyler: with their arms.
• 17:26
  Skyler: It's actually a little bit awkward, but yeah, you're doing
• 17:29
  Skyler: like a boxing thing.
• 17:30
  Skyler: But the cool part is you're doing a boxing thing with like
• 17:32
  Skyler: six mannequins around you.
• 17:34
  Jackson: Oh, so it's a matrix thing or, or.
• 17:36
  Skyler: Uh, it almost kind of feels like.
• 17:38
  Skyler: Have you ever seen the movie it, man?
• 17:39
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 17:40
  Skyler: Where he has the the wing.
• 17:41
  Skyler: I think it's wing Chung is his style and he you see those like
• 17:45
  Skyler: training dummies that he has the wooden training with the pegs
• 17:47
  Skyler: coming out of it and it moves.
• 17:49
  Skyler: It's kind of like that where it's like you're just blocking
• 17:51
  Skyler: all these hits that are constantly happening around you.
• 17:53
  Skyler: With that being said, uh, a group of mannequins that you
• 17:57
  Skyler: little source had knocked over with your spell, get up, and
• 18:00
  Skyler: then they just kind of bend at the waist and they just start
• 18:03
  Skyler: rushing towards you like the.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: ninety degree man.
• 18:07
  Skyler: Um, they're doing, they're doing a headbutt attack.
• 18:10
  Skyler: Oh does it added twenty hit a dirt a dirty filthy.
• 18:15
  Skyler: You take uh thirteen damage as
• 18:18
  Skyler: four of them all slam into you
• 18:20
  Skyler: head first.
• 18:22
  Jackson: I need to play a character who's got some strange.
• 18:24
  Skyler: Bludgeoning for their.
• 18:25
  Skyler: For whatever.
• 18:25
  Dave: That's your choice.
• 18:26
  Jackson: You could just.
• 18:27
  Jackson: Next time you level up, just up your con.
• 18:29
  Skyler: Rorik does a twenty three hit.
• 18:32
  Skyler: Um, a group of mannequins swarms around you.
• 18:35
  Skyler: This is one of the largest ones groups.
• 18:38
  Skyler: And it just they just pile on top of you.
• 18:41
  Skyler: Uh, you are currently grappled.
• 18:44
  Skyler: It's no, there's no damage, but you are fully restrained.
• 18:47
  Dave: Make it safe.
• 18:48
  Skyler: You will.
• 18:48
  Skyler: On your turn.
• 18:49
  Skyler: You do escape.
• 18:49
  Dave: I don't make an initial save.
• 18:51
  Skyler: No. Oh, yeah.
• 18:53
  Skyler: It's just it's a hit.
• 18:54
  Skyler: It's a to hit.
• 18:54
  Dave: Oh, they hit this.
• 18:55
  Skyler: Yeah. Um, with that being said, we'll jump over.
• 18:58
  Skyler: The mannequins have all taken their turn.
• 19:00
  Skyler: We'll jump over to, uh.
• 19:01
  Skyler: Maki.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: Yes, des.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: Use your anger.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: Destroy those constructs.
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Strike them down.
• 19:09
  Jackson: You see, I like to surround myself with people that are
• 19:12
  Jackson: smarter than me and then do a little spin attack.
• 19:16
  Dave: I will feel your.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: Fury, and I'm going to cast
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: wither and bloom centered on
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: disease location.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: Um, so I can chew.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: It's a ten foot radius sphere
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: and I pick what creatures are
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: affected.
• 19:31
  Jackson: Oh, there you go.
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: It's gonna do two d6 necrotic damage to each creature.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: Well, they have to, mate.
• 19:38
  Skyler: I was gonna say, do they make a save?
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they make a. Constitution save.
• 19:42
  Skyler: Oh, that's like a. Eleven guessing that fails.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah. So, uh.
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: Eight.
• 19:47
  Skyler: Eight. All right.
• 19:49
  Skyler: Each one you see all of like the
• 19:52
  Skyler: the eight mannequins that it's
• 19:54
  Skyler: surrounded des all just kind of
• 19:56
  Skyler: these and then just piece by
• 19:59
  Skyler: piece falls off the mannequins
• 20:01
  Skyler: torso.
• 20:02
  Skyler: Um, des, you're surrounded by
• 20:03
  Skyler: just parts of mannequin all
• 20:06
  Skyler: around you.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: And some other life energy gets
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: siphoned into you, healing you
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: for three.
• 20:12
  Skyler: Nice.
• 20:13
  Jackson: Just three, three, three.
• 20:15
  Skyler: Something and you don't have enemies surrounding you.
• 20:17
  Jackson: Three's a crowd.
• 20:18
  Skyler: Yeah, three's a crowd.
• 20:19
  Skyler: That's right.
• 20:21
  Skyler: Anything else?
• 20:22
  Skyler: Uh, Marcie?
• 20:23
  Skyler: Nope.
• 20:23
  Skyler: Okay.
• 20:24
  Skyler: No problem.
• 20:25
  Skyler: We jump over to fatty Lumpkins.
• 20:28
  Jackson: Fatty Lumpkins.
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: Kilo.
• 20:30
  Jackson: Sees.
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: This.
• 20:31
  Jackson: Horde of mannequins and him in the echo, who I assume is still
• 20:36
  Jackson: alive or is still present.
• 20:38
  Jackson: Yeah, I remember disbanding him
• 20:40
  Jackson: and I don't think there's a time
• 20:41
  Jackson: limit.
• 20:41
  Jackson: Yes.
• 20:42
  Jackson: So him and the echo are going to
• 20:45
  Jackson: just charge into the fray and
• 20:48
  Jackson: attack.
• 20:49
  Skyler: Nice. Okay. Sounds good.
• 20:51
  Skyler: I mean, there's plenty of mannequins around, so.
• 20:53
  Jackson: Yeah. Is there a. He probably should run in the direction of
• 20:58
  Jackson: Lil Sauce over there.
• 20:59
  Jackson: Oh, okay.
• 21:00
  Jackson: So that is the horde that he has chosen at the moment.
• 21:05
  Skyler: The headbutt horde?
• 21:06
  Jackson: Yes, the horde suck.
• 21:08
  Jackson: He's going to try to decapitate a combo.
• 21:10
  Jackson: A couple of those ninety degree
• 21:12
  Jackson: mannequins since they have
• 21:13
  Jackson: presented their necks so
• 21:16
  Jackson: graciously.
• 21:17
  Skyler: I wonder what's scarier the
• 21:18
  Skyler: ninety degree man or the ninety
• 21:19
  Skyler: degree mannequins?
• 21:25
  Jackson: Oh my goodness.
• 21:28
  Jackson: How about a twelve twelve?
• 21:30
  Skyler: Oh not quite.
• 21:33
  Jackson: Well, what if I use it?
• 21:35
  Jackson: Does advantage apply with the whole package?
• 21:37
  Skyler: Here's what I would say.
• 21:39
  Skyler: Uh, because it's just an ally, right?
• 21:41
  Skyler: Yes.
• 21:41
  Skyler: It could be any ally.
• 21:42
  Skyler: I would say that he, uh.
• 21:43
  Jackson: Quinn is my.
• 21:44
  Skyler: Ally. Yes. Lil Sass is there.
• 21:46
  Skyler: He is your ally, so I'll give you the advantage.
• 21:48
  Jackson: I hate to rely on this.
• 21:50
  Skyler: Yeah, it is pretty impressive how bad it's been, but, hey,
• 21:53
  Skyler: that's why these exist.
• 21:54
  Skyler: These skills.
• 21:55
  Dave: Remember when we started
• 21:56
  Dave: tracking Fatty's roles in our
• 21:59
  Dave: one campaign?
• 22:00
  Dave: Because they were notoriously bad?
• 22:02
  Skyler: It's just.
• 22:02
  Skyler: It's just his luck.
• 22:04
  Jackson: It has continued.
• 22:05
  Skyler: Yes.
• 22:06
  Jackson: Uh, but with the advantage.
• 22:07
  Jackson: Advantageous attack.
• 22:09
  Jackson: Surely a twenty two will.
• 22:10
  Skyler: Oh, yeah, that definitely hits.
• 22:12
  Dave: And then.
• 22:13
  Skyler: Man, can you imagine how embarrassing it would be if you
• 22:15
  Skyler: swung at a room full of mannequins and you missed.
• 22:17
  Jackson: It would be.
• 22:18
  Skyler: Thank goodness for PAC tactics.
• 22:20
  Skyler: Otherwise it would just be embarrassing.
• 22:22
  Dave: I think it's he's swinging
• 22:24
  Dave: specifically to cut off their
• 22:26
  Dave: head.
• 22:26
  Dave: And he just whiffed because he's going for a delicate.
• 22:30
  Skyler: Well, they're at a weird angle
• 22:31
  Skyler: to these ninety degree
• 22:32
  Skyler: mannequins, so.
• 22:34
  Jackson: Ah, so that'll do ten damage.
• 22:37
  Skyler: Ten damage.
• 22:38
  Skyler: You swipe the heads off of ten different mannequins.
• 22:41
  Skyler: Wow.
• 22:42
  Skyler: This makes him this makes him feel really weak.
• 22:44
  Skyler: It's just the fact that there's a horde.
• 22:46
  Skyler: It's like zombies, right?
• 22:47
  Skyler: Like a single zombie.
• 22:49
  Skyler: NBD hordes are fun.
• 22:51
  Jackson: To mow down in.
• 22:52
  Skyler: Mass. That's true.
• 22:53
  Dave: So there was ninety five.
• 22:55
  Skyler: Well, technically, there was one
• 22:56
  Skyler: hundred ninety five, is the
• 22:57
  Skyler: question.
• 22:58
  Skyler: How many were there?
• 22:59
  Skyler: Was asked after five damage was dealt at the beginning.
• 23:03
  Dave: How many are left?
• 23:05
  Skyler: There's quite a few left.
• 23:06
  Skyler: Okay.
• 23:07
  Skyler: A little bit less than half.
• 23:08
  Dave: Keep chatting.
• 23:09
  Skyler: Well, let's see if we can get.
• 23:10
  Jackson: That down to a third.
• 23:12
  Jackson: With the second attack, how about a fifteen?
• 23:15
  Skyler: That actually does.
• 23:16
  Jackson: Hit.
• 23:16
  Skyler: Yes. Nicely done.
• 23:18
  Jackson: Okay.
• 23:18
  Skyler: I'm actually a little bummed you didn't use.
• 23:20
  Skyler: Uh, this would be a great moment
• 23:22
  Skyler: to use the helmet of the
• 23:23
  Skyler: Minotaur.
• 23:25
  Skyler: And then just plow right through a bunch of them.
• 23:27
  Jackson: I do have a charge.
• 23:28
  Jackson: Actually.
• 23:29
  Jackson: Oh, my goodness.
• 23:30
  Jackson: Look at that.
• 23:30
  Jackson: Fifteen damage.
• 23:32
  Skyler: Fifteen damage.
• 23:32
  Skyler: Holy cow.
• 23:33
  Skyler: That's another fifteen
• 23:34
  Skyler: mannequins you just slice
• 23:35
  Skyler: through.

  Skyler: party at this point.
• 24:11
  Dave: Who doesn't love a party?
• 24:12
  Skyler: Who doesn't love a party?

• 24:50
  Skyler: one of those wardrobes that are
• 24:52
  Skyler: in here.
• 24:53
  Skyler: Uh, I think it leaves a little bit of a scald, but it doesn't
• 24:55
  Skyler: even, like, ignite it.
• 24:56
  Skyler: It just doesn't like, hold the flames.
• 24:58
  Skyler: With that being said, we jump over to Roric.

• 25:26
  Dave: And I wiggle my way out.

  Skyler: Squirmy little wormy way out of this pile of mannequins.
• 25:32
  Skyler: And you at the top.
• 25:33
  Dave: That was my action.
• 25:35
  Dave: Okay, so I have my bonus action.
• 25:36
  Dave: Correct, and I. As I crawl out, I pull out from my bag.
• 25:43
  Dave: I go, Gertrude, it's your time to shine.
• 25:47
  Dave: And I, I, I whistle as I rub the
• 25:51
  Dave: the goat and toss it into the
• 25:54
  Dave: air.
• 25:54
  Dave: And a magical goat.
• 25:56
  Dave: Giant goat appears.
• 25:59
  Skyler: Let me ask you a question.
• 26:01
  Skyler: Did you pay the thirty gold?
• 26:03
  Skyler: Seven.
• 26:04
  Skyler: Okay, seven.
• 26:04
  Dave: I bought the upgraded.
• 26:06
  Dave: I paid more up front, right.
• 26:08
  Dave: So I pay less each time.
• 26:09
  Skyler: Got it. Okay. Sounds good.
• 26:10
  Skyler: Okay. Yeah.
• 26:11
  Skyler: You toss Gertrude the giant goat.
• 26:14
  Skyler: Which, to be fair, it's not, like huge.
• 26:16
  Skyler: I think it's a large.
• 26:17
  Dave: It is a it is a size of a horse.
• 26:21
  Skyler: Yes.
• 26:21
  Dave: Okay. But it's a goat.
• 26:22
  Skyler: It's a go.
• 26:23
  Dave: It's got the horns and everything.
• 26:24
  Skyler: Yes. Okay. Um, I'm gonna say I assume it acts on your turn, so.
• 26:29
  Skyler: Yeah, definitely.
• 26:30
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 26:30
  Skyler: All right.
• 26:31
  Dave: And I go, Gertrude, save me as I am on the ground.
• 26:36
  Dave: And I'm reaching up weakly for Gertrude.
• 26:39
  Skyler: Gertrude plows through these mannequins and pulls you out.
• 26:43
  Skyler: Are you riding, Gertrude?
• 26:44
  Dave: I'm gonna grab it.
• 26:45
  Dave: Yeah. Jump on with my action.
• 26:47
  Dave: With my movement.
• 26:48
  Skyler: Yeah. Yep.
• 26:48
  Dave: And then Gertrude's attack
• 26:50
  Dave: rolled a. I just wrote the
• 26:51
  Dave: stats.
• 26:52
  Dave: Here we go.
• 26:53
  Dave: Um, fifteen.
• 26:54
  Skyler: That hits exactly what you needed.
• 26:56
  Dave: Uh, seven damage, seven damage.
• 26:58
  Skyler: Gertrude well.
• 27:00
  Dave: That's about the amount you said about like six jumped on me.
• 27:03
  Dave: So she just kind of plowed right through.
• 27:05
  Skyler: Like seven of them and just
• 27:06
  Skyler: smashed them, sending them
• 27:07
  Skyler: flying across the room in
• 27:09
  Skyler: various pieces.
• 27:10
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 27:11
  Skyler: You're just like she she rears
• 27:13
  Skyler: up on her back hooves and you're
• 27:14
  Skyler: like, Yeehaw!
• 27:15
  Skyler: You know?
• 27:15
  Skyler: Um. Right on.
• 27:16
  Skyler: That's awesome.
• 27:17
  Dave: Out of nowhere, I've got a cowboy hat in my hand.
• 27:20
  Dave: I'm swirling it in the air.
• 27:22
  Dave: She rears up.
• 27:23
  Skyler: I do love the idea that like.
• 27:24
  Dave: Hi ho Gertrude.
• 27:26
  Skyler: Some classes will start off with
• 27:28
  Skyler: clothes and it's kind of
• 27:29
  Skyler: unspecified.
• 27:30
  Skyler: So it's kind of one of those things like you get one chance.
• 27:32
  Dave: I mean, I'm a.
• 27:33
  Skyler: Barber at any point when you're ready to claim what those
• 27:37
  Skyler: clothes are and then they're locked in, right?
• 27:39
  Skyler: I go buy other clothes.
• 27:40
  Dave: It could be instead of a cowboy hat.
• 27:41
  Dave: It could be the large hat I was wearing as Gaston belly wiggle.
• 27:45
  Dave: Oh, yeah.
• 27:46
  Dave: So I just did the big feather, a big feather.
• 27:48
  Dave: And I don it again and I wave it in the air.
• 27:51
  Skyler: I think that's pretty great.
• 27:52
  Skyler: I think that's perfect.
• 27:53
  Dave: It's like a giant purple hat with a feather.
• 27:55
  Dave: Yeah.
• 27:55
  Dave: Pimp hat.
• 27:56
  Dave: Um.
• 27:57
  Dave: Yeah.
• 27:57
  Dave: Yeah.
• 27:58
  Skyler: Des, you as as a hunter of constructs, you scan the room
• 28:02
  Skyler: and you see there's about a dozen mannequins left.
• 28:06
  Dave: Terminator vision.
• 28:07
  Skyler: Yeah, all of these.
• 28:11
  Skyler: He's a he's a bad robot.
• 28:14
  Skyler: There's a dozen.
• 28:15
  Skyler: Yes, a dozen of them.
• 28:17
  Skyler: Yes.
• 28:17
  Dave: He wants more.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Where'd they all go?
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: I'm still a little bummed out that the ones that were
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: surrounding me got taken out.
• 28:27
  Skyler: Oh, yeah, but they're still doesn't.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: Uh. Yeah. You know what?
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna go sweeping motions with my Warhammer.
• 28:35
  Skyler: Okay.
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: Woosh!
• 28:36
  Skyler: See if you can get them all in one big wipe.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: A hockey player going down the ice.
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: That one.
• 28:45
  Dave: He slipped on the ice.
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: I, I slipped on destroyed construct parts.
• 28:50
  Skyler: Uh. Roll. Roll your damage.
• 28:53
  Dave: Okay.
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: No, I mean.
• 28:55
  Dave: Gertrude.
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: Frog dies.
• 28:58
  Dave: No, no. The possibilities.
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: Six damage.
• 29:04
  Skyler: Okay. Gertrude gets slammed with
• 29:06
  Skyler: a hammer as, uh, des slips on a,
• 29:10
  Skyler: uh, arm.
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: Uh, no.
• 29:12
  Skyler: A mannequin arm.
• 29:15
  Skyler: She's reared up, and then all of a sudden, this hammer just comes
• 29:18
  Skyler: slamming out of nowhere and just hits her right in the stomach.
• 29:21
  Dave: Des gets the day of work.
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: Um, I would also like my, my
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: little swarm to go after a group
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: of them.
• 29:31
  Skyler: Okay. Yeah.
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: Go for it.
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: Uh, they are going to let's see.
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: I should roll damage, but they don't really have a stat block.
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: It just says that they do one d6 piercing.
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: So do you want me to roll for an attack or do you just want.
• 29:46
  Skyler: Me to roll?
• 29:46
  Skyler: They just do one.
• 29:47
  Skyler: I think it's like a perimeter thing or something like that.
• 29:49
  Skyler: I think the idea is that they sort of swarm you, right?
• 29:52
  Skyler: And then by being kind of adjacent to things.
• 29:55
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 29:55
  Skyler: So I think it's just damage.
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: Okay. All right.
• 29:58
  Skyler: It's kind of like some of the spells they say like just being
• 30:00
  Skyler: in radius of it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: They did one damage though.
• 30:03
  Skyler: They rip one mannequin apart.
• 30:05
  Skyler: It's actually a terrifying thing
• 30:06
  Skyler: to see of your your little twig
• 30:08
  Skyler: blights just completely cover a
• 30:11
  Skyler: creature and you just watch as
• 30:12
  Skyler: one by one they rip off a
• 30:14
  Skyler: different limb or pop the head
• 30:15
  Skyler: off the top of one of these
• 30:16
  Skyler: mannequins.
• 30:17
  Skyler: Um, it's it's disturbing.
• 30:19
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 30:19
  Skyler: Um, but not for you, because
• 30:21
  Skyler: this is what you've trained them
• 30:22
  Skyler: for.
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: Call an ambulance.
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: But not for me.
• 30:24
  Dave: Not for me.
• 30:25
  Skyler: Um. Right on.
• 30:26
  Skyler: Okay. That leaves just the mannequins to attack.
• 30:30
  Skyler: They see this goat and immediately just all start to
• 30:34
  Skyler: beeline for this giant goat.
• 30:36
  Skyler: They're freaked out by this thing.
• 30:38
  Skyler: Um, so first off, we've got an eighteen.
• 30:42
  Dave: Yeah.
• 30:42
  Skyler: It's okay.
• 30:43
  Skyler: The the, uh, ninety degree
• 30:45
  Skyler: mannequins, half of the
• 30:46
  Skyler: mannequins that are left right
• 30:47
  Skyler: now, ninety degree come running
• 30:49
  Skyler: at it, slam into it, dealing
• 30:51
  Skyler: twelve damage.
• 30:53
  Dave: Bye bye birdie.
• 30:55
  Skyler: Is it gone?
• 30:55
  Dave: Yes.
• 30:56
  Skyler: Oh, man.
• 30:57
  Skyler: So as it.
• 30:58
  Dave: Tumbles.
• 30:58
  Dave: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Skyler: You just fall like on your butt just right there on the ground.
• 31:02
  Skyler: Uh, with that being said, I guess they'll have to go for you
• 31:04
  Skyler: for their second.
• 31:05
  Dave: Oh, no, I'm on the ground.
• 31:06
  Dave: I'm prone.
• 31:07
  Skyler: Oh, man.
• 31:07
  Skyler: Is that that's a twenty one to hit.
• 31:09
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 31:10
  Skyler: And that's going to be ten damage to you.
• 31:12
  Skyler: And then uh, does a fourteen hit.
• 31:15
  Skyler: No. Oh, okay.
• 31:16
  Skyler: Uh, they start to try to grab you and pull you down.
• 31:19
  Skyler: You remember this.
• 31:20
  Skyler: This is the same thing as when they started to pile on top of
• 31:22
  Skyler: you, but you're able to dodge out of the way.
• 31:25
  Skyler: You roll away from there like pile, and they miss you.
• 31:28
  Skyler: Next up, we've got Maki.
• 31:31
  Jackson: With how many mannequins?
• 31:32
  Skyler: Still about a dozen.
• 31:34
  Skyler: I do like general numbers, so it, you know, it's a dozen until
• 31:38
  Skyler: it hits a certain point.
• 31:39
  Skyler: What's Maki doing?
• 31:40
  Dave: Uh, Maki is going to step back and cast false life on himself.
• 31:46
  Dave: Okay.
• 31:47
  Skyler: Boost some HP.
• 31:49
  Dave: Yeah. Nice heels for eight.
• 31:52
  Skyler: Okay. Sounds good.
• 31:53
  Dave: Temporary gets eight.
• 31:54
  Dave: Temporary doesn't feel right.
• 31:56
  Dave: Right.
• 31:56
  Dave: Yeah.
• 31:57
  Skyler: It's good to hold on to.
• 31:58
  Skyler: So awesome.
• 31:59
  Skyler: Anything else?
• 32:00
  Dave: He's gonna fly above them just for fun.
• 32:04
  Skyler: I would say this room is probably darker than the
• 32:06
  Skyler: previous room as well.
• 32:07
  Skyler: So yeah, you have you have plenty of ability to fly.
• 32:11
  Dave: Disappears into the shadows.
• 32:13
  Skyler: Yes. Uh, next up, we've got Kaito And his echo and hopefully
• 32:20
  Skyler: maybe they can finish him off.
• 32:22
  Jackson: Yes. Kaito and the echo, having turned and seen this goat kind
• 32:27
  Jackson: of come out of nowhere.
• 32:29
  Jackson: Yeah.
• 32:30
  Dave: And then.
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: Immediately.
• 32:31
  Skyler: Disappear into nowhere.
• 32:32
  Dave: Des and his.
• 32:33
  Jackson: Cronies with limited success.
• 32:36
  Jackson: What can happen when the goat charges through a hole?
• 32:38
  Dave: So I just let Matt go.
• 32:43
  Jackson: So, yeah, they're gonna take a page out of the goat.
• 32:45
  Jackson: Goat dude, and they're gonna use the, uh, the charger for it.
• 32:49
  Dave: Okay.
• 32:51
  Jackson: So they're gonna use the action to dash.
• 32:53
  Skyler: Okay.
• 32:54
  Jackson: And use a bonus action to attack creature.
• 32:57
  Skyler: Okay.
• 32:59
  Dave: Oh twenty twenty.
• 33:01
  Skyler: Alright. Added I'm assuming, but yeah.
• 33:02
  Skyler: Twenty.
• 33:03
  Skyler: Alright, that most certainly hits.
• 33:05
  Jackson: So then.
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: It is.
• 33:08
  Jackson: three, five, five.
• 33:09
  Skyler: thirteen.
• 33:10
  Jackson: Alright, so I used the charger feet.
• 33:13
  Jackson: So I use the action to make a
• 33:16
  Jackson: dash and then a bonus action to
• 33:18
  Jackson: make a melee attack with the
• 33:20
  Jackson: Glaive.
• 33:21
  Jackson: And so.
• 33:21
  Jackson: So run ten feet in a straight
• 33:23
  Jackson: line, then just add five more to
• 33:25
  Jackson: the damage.
• 33:25
  Skyler: Okay, sweet.
• 33:26
  Skyler: Um, you put one foot back, you see some some dust fly off the
• 33:32
  Skyler: side of it.
• 33:33
  Skyler: Then you you crouch down ever so slightly and then pushing off
• 33:37
  Skyler: with your front foot.
• 33:39
  Skyler: You shoot forward arms behind your back like some kind of
• 33:42
  Skyler: anime character, your glaive.
• 33:44
  Skyler: Also behind you.
• 33:46
  Skyler: And then just as you reach this dozen mannequins, you stop and.
• 33:50
  Skyler: With both hands, swing your glaive out, slicing through all
• 33:54
  Skyler: twelve remaining mannequins.
• 33:56
  Skyler: Splitting them completely in half.
• 33:59
  Skyler: The curse of the living mannequins is over.
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: Let's go, let's go.
• 34:05
  Dave: Yeah.
• 34:06
  Skyler: Awesome.
• 34:07
  Skyler: So, uh, you guys have managed to clear.
• 34:09
  Skyler: The dangers of this room.
• 34:12
  Skyler: Uh, some of you didn't make it as as Lil source predicted some
• 34:17
  Skyler: people didn't or some creatures didn't make it.
• 34:23
  Skyler: But you're not done yet.
• 34:24
  Skyler: Uh. There is a door at the end and a stairway leading up.
• 34:29
  Skyler: Are you guys headed to the next floor?
• 34:31
  Dave: Nah. I think we turn around and head down, just like this.
• 34:33
  Skyler: Is it.
• 34:34
  Skyler: We lost a goat.
• 34:35
  Skyler: I can't go any further.
• 34:36
  Dave: I even have a fun picture of a goat climbing a spiral
• 34:39
  Dave: staircase, ready to show you.
• 34:41
  Skyler: You're about.
• 34:42
  Skyler: If you succeed in this, you get thirty thousand gold watts.
• 34:45
  Skyler: Seven gold out of.
• 34:46
  Dave: I could.
• 34:47
  Dave: I'm gonna make.
• 34:47
  Dave: I'm gonna look at Dez and go, yeah.
• 34:50
  Dave: Seven gold.
• 34:51
  Speaker 10: Uh, Dez writes on his chalkboard, uh, bag of tricks.
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: Question mark.
• 34:57
  Dave: No. Seven gold to bring Gertrude back.
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: one of those bag of tricks things I think is a large goat.
• 35:03
  Dave: Then we get to.
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: I do have seven gold.
• 35:08
  Dave: I stick my hand out.
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: Uh. Dez dramatically rolls his
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: eyes and will hand you the seven
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: gold.
• 35:13
  Dave: And then I take the seven gold.
• 35:15
  Dave: And then I slam it into the
• 35:17
  Dave: little figurine that when
• 35:18
  Dave: Gertrude died, it just
• 35:20
  Dave: disappears back into the
• 35:21
  Dave: figurine.
• 35:22
  Dave: And I put the seven gold on the figurine.
• 35:24
  Skyler: Nothing happens.
• 35:25
  Skyler: There's a little slot.
• 35:27
  Dave: Oh, yeah.
• 35:28
  Skyler: There you go. Okay. Yeah.
• 35:29
  Skyler: You put him back in and you hear.
• 35:32
  Speaker 11: Gertrude come back.
• 35:33
  Skyler: Oh, you immediately activate your joking.
• 35:36
  Skyler: All right.
• 35:36
  Skyler: Sounds good.
• 35:37
  Skyler: You, you.
• 35:37
  Dave: I want.
• 35:38
  Jackson: To ride Gertrude.
• 35:39
  Dave: Up the.
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: Stairs.
• 35:41
  Skyler: Well, here's the problem with goats is they'll go upstairs,
• 35:43
  Skyler: but they won't.
• 35:44
  Skyler: Actually, I think that's cows, right?
• 35:46
  Dave: I look.
• 35:46
  Skyler: I like horses, too.
• 35:48
  Dave: I don't know about horses, but I specifically looked it up.
• 35:50
  Dave: But goats are great climbers, as we know.
• 35:52
  Dave: They love the climb cliffs.
• 35:53
  Dave: They love everything.
• 35:54
  Skyler: So you get to this, the spiral staircase leading up and it
• 35:57
  Skyler: jumps like eight stairs at a time to get to the top.
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: This is great.
• 36:02
  Skyler: Now the cool part will be if you
• 36:04
  Skyler: ride the goat down the the
• 36:06
  Skyler: handrail.
• 36:06
  Skyler: Yeah, right.
• 36:07
  Skyler: You're gonna grind.
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: A goat.
• 36:09
  Skyler: Grind.
• 36:10
  Skyler: That sounds horrible.
• 36:12
  Dave: Hey.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: This ain't a dance floor, brother.
• 36:15
  Dave: Me and Gertrude can boogie.
• 36:17
  Dave: All right, let's go up to the next floor.
• 36:32
  Skyler: The next room that you reach is
• 36:35
  Skyler: filled with all sorts of various
• 36:38
  Skyler: items.
• 36:38
  Skyler: Not mannequins, not rugs, but
• 36:41
  Skyler: just a variety of different
• 36:42
  Skyler: obscurities.
• 36:44
  Skyler: You see a dusty globe.
• 36:46
  Skyler: You see a collection of birdcages.
• 36:49
  Skyler: Some of them look somewhat
• 36:51
  Skyler: ornate and some of them fairly
• 36:52
  Skyler: plain.
• 36:53
  Skyler: You see a shelf, one singular shelf that has a variety of
• 36:57
  Skyler: leather bound books on it.
• 36:58
  Skyler: You see a stone bust of a statue, some kind of a strange
• 37:05
  Skyler: man you've never seen before.
• 37:08
  Skyler: You see a set of alchemist
• 37:09
  Skyler: tools, beakers And alembics and
• 37:13
  Skyler: stirring rods.
• 37:15
  Skyler: They look very clean and nothing in here is dusty.
• 37:17
  Skyler: It just looks old.
• 37:19
  Skyler: You see an empty stone birdbath.
• 37:22
  Skyler: You see a grandfather clock.
• 37:24
  Skyler: You see a single bell that sits on a velvety pillow.
• 37:28
  Skyler: There's a display case of strange, unusual rocks.
• 37:32
  Skyler: And finally, there is a framed
• 37:35
  Skyler: portrait of a stern looking
• 37:37
  Skyler: individual with a remarkable
• 37:39
  Skyler: mustache.
• 37:40
  Skyler: As you step inside, there is a note on the door which is open.
• 37:47
  Skyler: So you you kind of like look back as you walk in and you see
• 37:49
  Skyler: there's a note on the door.
• 37:51
  Skyler: Uh, the note simply says to Doris, I have no idea how you
• 37:56
  Skyler: got in here, but if you aren't careful, you will die.
• 38:02
  Skyler: And I will have to pay your insurance claim.
• 38:05
  Skyler: I don't want to do this, but I
• 38:07
  Skyler: also don't love giving the
• 38:08
  Skyler: answers.
• 38:09
  Skyler: Because again, you shouldn't be in here in the first place.
• 38:12
  Skyler: One of these items in this room,
• 38:15
  Skyler: when activated, will open the
• 38:17
  Skyler: next door.
• 38:19
  Skyler: The others?
• 38:20
  Skyler: Well, you might not be so lucky.
• 38:23
  Skyler: Signed, Alexandria dust Walker.
• 38:26
  Skyler: And then.
• 38:27
  Skyler: PS, when I find out you've been
• 38:29
  Skyler: in here, we'll be having a
• 38:31
  Skyler: discussion.
• 38:32
  Skyler: And at the other end of this room, you see a pair of doors
• 38:35
  Skyler: that are sealed shut.
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: Uh, des climbs into the birdbath.
• 38:41
  Skyler: Okay. Just climbs right into the birdbath.
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: I am a bird.
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: It was made for me.
• 38:46
  Skyler: That is a.
• 38:47
  Dave: Very.
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: I look at him and I'm kind of jealous.
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: That looks like a good time.
• 38:50
  Skyler: Just as you're about to climb in
• 38:52
  Skyler: the birdbath, you do notice that
• 38:53
  Skyler: inside there is water inside of
• 38:55
  Skyler: it.
• 38:56
  Skyler: Um. As you get closer, you
• 38:57
  Skyler: notice that the one thing that's
• 38:58
  Skyler: also inside of it is a small
• 39:00
  Skyler: glass bird that's just kind of
• 39:02
  Skyler: floating there.
• 39:03
  Speaker 10: I will gingerly move the bird.
• 39:05
  Skyler: Okay.
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: To the floor.
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 39:08
  Skyler: As you remove the bird from the bird bath, you watch as this
• 39:14
  Skyler: giant black tentacle rises almost strangely from.
• 39:20
  Skyler: Obviously there's there's on it.
• 39:22
  Skyler: There's nowhere that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 9: This tentacle rubs his hands together.
• 39:27
  Skyler: This giant black tentacle rises from the waters of this.
• 39:33
  Skyler: Uh, like the watcher in the water from Lord of the rings.
• 39:36
  Skyler: This giant tentacle floats out.
• 39:39
  Skyler: Um, I need you to make a dexterity saving throw.
• 39:43
  Speaker 10: Dez gingerly puts the bird back in the water.
• 39:46
  Speaker 10: All right, let me make a Dex.
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: Dex save for Dez.
• 39:53
  Speaker 10: Save.
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: Oh, I'm good at these, uh, dirty, dirty little nasty little
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: slight little nasty, dirty little yucky little twenty.
• 40:03
  Skyler: Uh, you leap out of the way as
• 40:05
  Skyler: this black tentacle slams down
• 40:09
  Skyler: and as it's, uh, it hits the
• 40:11
  Skyler: ground, it's just calmly starts
• 40:13
  Skyler: to slither its way back into the
• 40:15
  Skyler: birdbath.
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: Interesting.
• 40:17
  Dave: Plug a hole.
• 40:18
  Speaker 10: Like.
• 40:19
  Skyler: Anybody else.
• 40:21
  Dave: There.
• 40:23
  Dave: Castor, is that you?
• 40:26
  Skyler: No response.
• 40:28
  Dave: I don't remember tentacles under us.
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: Oh. Tummy tickles it takes to get an octopus.
• 40:36
  Dave: I was thinking.
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: Uh, on on the door at the other end.
• 40:38
  Speaker 9: It's locked.
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: Is there, like a keyhole, or can
• 40:40
  Speaker 9: you see light underneath of it
• 40:41
  Speaker 9: or anything?
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 40:43
  Skyler: There's no keyhole.
• 40:44
  Skyler: No.
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: Guys are whiter teeth of it or anything.
• 40:46
  Skyler: I would say it hits the floor pretty tightly.
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: Okay. So I can't like reduce myself to like.
• 40:52
  Dave: There's no keyhole.
• 40:54
  Skyler: No, I don't think you'd be able to make yourself that small.
• 40:57
  Skyler: I think if I remember correctly,
• 40:58
  Skyler: you move yourself to the next
• 41:00
  Skyler: size smaller.
• 41:01
  Skyler: So you would become small.
• 41:03
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 41:03
  Skyler: Which that's like, uh, like a hobbit.
• 41:05
  Skyler: I think halflings are small.
• 41:07
  Skyler: I'm guessing technically goblins I think are awesome.
• 41:10
  Speaker 10: We're all small creatures.
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 41:12
  Dave: I thought kenku.
• 41:13
  Skyler: So you'd be knocked down to tiny.
• 41:15
  Skyler: That would be pretty dang tiny.
• 41:16
  Dave: Like very small.
• 41:17
  Skyler: Yeah. Okay, well, there is no keyhole, and there's no way to
• 41:20
  Skyler: get under the door.
• 41:21
  Skyler: But that is good thinking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: It's not like I could just unlock it from the other side.
• 41:25
  Skyler: Right?
• 41:25
  Skyler: That's totally fair.
• 41:26
  Skyler: That's totally fair.
• 41:27
  Skyler: Um, the fact that there is no keyhole suggests that there's
• 41:30
  Skyler: obviously another mechanism that keeps this door closed.
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna go up to the painting.
• 41:35
  Skyler: Okay. With the guy with the mustache?
• 41:37
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 41:37
  Speaker 9: Nice, I admire it.
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: Okay, I pick it up.
• 41:42
  Skyler: Okay. Before you pick it up, I'm
• 41:44
  Skyler: gonna let you know that the
• 41:48
  Skyler: mustache he has is slightly
• 41:51
  Skyler: askew.
• 41:51
  Skyler: Like it's slightly off center.
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: You need to turn it upside down.
• 41:55
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna turn it.
• 41:56
  Speaker 9: Touch it.
• 41:56
  Speaker 9: I guess I'll just.
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: Instead of picking it up, I'll just touch the mustache.
• 42:00
  Skyler: The mustache. Okay. You. As.
• 42:03
  Skyler: You As you tweak.
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: This.
• 42:07
  Dave: As you.
• 42:07
  Speaker 10: Tweak.
• 42:08
  Skyler: This mustache, the face begins to move and the man in the
• 42:13
  Skyler: portrait goes, oh, that's nice.
• 42:19
  Skyler: And all of a sudden, out of the mustache, this cloud of green
• 42:24
  Skyler: gas starts to emanate.
• 42:26
  Skyler: I need you to make a constitution.
• 42:28
  Dave: Save nine.
• 42:31
  Skyler: You die instantly.
• 42:33
  Skyler: No, I'm kidding you.
• 42:34
  Skyler: The smell coming from this
• 42:36
  Skyler: painting is the worst smell
• 42:38
  Skyler: you've ever smelled in your
• 42:39
  Skyler: life.
• 42:40
  Skyler: It is like a mule vomited and it's been ruminating on
• 42:46
  Skyler: asparagus for a month.
• 42:48
  Skyler: Boom!
• 42:49
  Skyler: Straight from holes.
• 42:50
  Skyler: Uh. It's disgusting.
• 42:52
  Skyler: And you just start retching and reeling from this.
• 42:56
  Skyler: It's not poisonous.
• 42:58
  Skyler: It's not?
• 42:59
  Skyler: Well, it might be poisonous, but it doesn't deal damage to you.
• 43:02
  Skyler: But you're currently, like, incapacitated as you're unable
• 43:05
  Skyler: to really breathe and you just start throwing up practically.
• 43:10
  Dave: Is there like a cloud?
• 43:11
  Dave: Yeah. Stinking cloud around.
• 43:13
  Skyler: Yep.
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: Guys, I wouldn't I wouldn't touch them.
• 43:16
  Dave: Oh. Oh, gosh.
• 43:18
  Dave: Like smell it a little from here.
• 43:20
  Speaker 9: I go into the birdbath.
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 43:24
  Dave: Uh, I cast a gust.
• 43:26
  Dave: I can't.
• 43:27
  Skyler: Oh, nice.
• 43:28
  Dave: Going to try to blow this cloud away from you.
• 43:31
  Dave: Yes, as you do.
• 43:32
  Skyler: The smell kind of disintegrates
• 43:35
  Skyler: amidst the room, like everything
• 43:37
  Skyler: is now a little bit stinky, but
• 43:38
  Skyler: not as bad as the concentrated,
• 43:40
  Skyler: stinking cloud.
• 43:41
  Skyler: But yes, you have essentially gotten rid of the main cloud.
• 43:44
  Skyler: Anybody else want to try anything?
• 43:46
  Speaker 9: Any other things in there?
• 43:47
  Skyler: Uh, yeah.
• 43:48
  Skyler: So there's the unusual case or
• 43:51
  Skyler: the case of unusual rocks and
• 43:52
  Skyler: minerals.
• 43:53
  Skyler: There's the silver bell on the velvet pillow.
• 43:55
  Skyler: There's a grandfather clock.
• 43:57
  Skyler: Uh, the alchemist tools, the stone bust.
• 44:00
  Skyler: You have the, uh, shelf of books and the bird cages.
• 44:06
  Skyler: And a globe.
• 44:07
  Dave: Monkey wants to go over to the
• 44:08
  Dave: door and see if there's possibly
• 44:11
  Dave: any clues.
• 44:12
  Dave: Oh, okay.
• 44:13
  Dave: Like any engravings or like gilded doorknobs that were.
• 44:19
  Skyler: Yeah, yeah.
• 44:20
  Skyler: Um. Do what kind of check would you.
• 44:22
  Skyler: I'm gonna ask you this.
• 44:23
  Skyler: What kind of check would you like to do?
• 44:25
  Dave: Investigation.
• 44:26
  Skyler: Investigation. Okay. Yeah. Go for it.
• 44:29
  Dave: Uh, eleven and eleven.
• 44:31
  Skyler: Uh, as you look over this door, you get the sense that this is
• 44:37
  Skyler: magically sealed, mostly based off of the fact that, you know,
• 44:41
  Skyler: you've got all these items throughout the room.
• 44:44
  Skyler: It's not so much like a mechanism, like you pull a lever
• 44:47
  Skyler: or something like that, like you have with previous rooms.
• 44:49
  Skyler: Uh, this one seems exclusively magic.
• 44:51
  Skyler: So something magic is, is holding this door closed, and
• 44:54
  Skyler: there's a trigger that will essentially unlock this magic.
• 45:00
  Skyler: That's as much as you're able to garnish from this.
• 45:02
  Skyler: Anybody else?
• 45:03
  Skyler: Anything.
• 45:03
  Speaker 10: Oh. Does will walk up to the bust.
• 45:05
  Skyler: Okay. Um, it's not the best work
• 45:08
  Skyler: you've ever seen as far as,
• 45:09
  Skyler: like, statues.
• 45:11
  Skyler: Oh, yeah, it is.
• 45:12
  Skyler: And more importantly, they're.
• 45:14
  Skyler: The nose is crooked.
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: But it doesn't hinge at the neck.
• 45:19
  Speaker 10: I won't, like, lift up the head and find a button.
• 45:20
  Dave: It's not a bad man.
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: It's not a bad man.
• 45:23
  Skyler: Sure, sure.
• 45:24
  Skyler: Yeah.
• 45:24
  Speaker 10: Dang it.
• 45:24
  Skyler: I mean, it just sits on a a little table or whatever.
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: The nose is a little crooked.
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: And push the nose.
• 45:31
  Speaker 10: I'm a first.
• 45:33
  Speaker 10: I'll squeeze it and make a clown
• 45:34
  Speaker 10: honk noise, and then I'll, uh,
• 45:36
  Speaker 10: move it back into the right
• 45:38
  Speaker 10: place.
• 45:38
  Skyler: You, you turn it to put it back
• 45:40
  Skyler: in place, and you find that
• 45:41
  Skyler: actually moves like really
• 45:42
  Skyler: easily.
• 45:43
  Speaker 10: Just smack it and it spins around really fast.
• 45:45
  Dave: Yeah.
• 45:46
  Skyler: Um, yeah, you you do that.
• 45:48
  Skyler: Um, no, nothing seems to happen.
• 45:49
  Skyler: I forgot that I wrote one of these items.
• 45:52
  Skyler: Just doesn't.
• 45:53
  Dave: Do anything.
• 45:55
  Skyler: It doesn't do anything bad.
• 45:56
  Speaker 10: Like that's true.
• 45:58
  Speaker 10: Just nothing happens.
• 45:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 45:59
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 45:59
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna stand here and spin the nose really fast.
• 46:02
  Skyler: Um, at some point, it just pops off and you see that it's got
• 46:04
  Skyler: like a bolt, um, that you've just completely unscrewed.
• 46:08
  Skyler: So, I mean, you have a stone nose.
• 46:10
  Speaker 10: I'll put the nose in my pouch and I'll lift up the bust and
• 46:14
  Speaker 10: smash it to the ground.
• 46:16
  Speaker 10: It's bad artwork anyway.
• 46:17
  Skyler: I mean, that's fair.
• 46:18
  Skyler: Um, yeah, it it breaks sick.
• 46:21
  Speaker 10: Let me write three no's and you get to keep.
• 46:23
  Skyler: The nose though.
• 46:24
  Skyler: For whatever you plan to do with that, maybe you'll find a golem
• 46:27
  Skyler: that needs a nose.
• 46:29
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna I know what I'm gonna do with it.
• 46:32
  Dave: Okay?
• 46:32
  Speaker 10: I'm not even gonna tell you.
• 46:33
  Skyler: That's fine.
• 46:34
  Skyler: I love the occasional secret.
• 46:37
  Skyler: As long as it's not, like, game breaking.
• 46:39
  Skyler: But I do love a good.
• 46:40
  Skyler: Like, I'm gonna come back to this bit, so that works for me.
• 46:43
  Skyler: Anybody else want to do anything with any of the other.
• 46:46
  Skyler: Try any of the other stuff in this room.
• 46:47
  Jackson: How many other objects are there?
• 46:49
  Jackson: Or it's just the room is filled?
• 46:51
  Skyler: Uh, no. I mean, there was like the specific number.
• 46:53
  Skyler: So like, okay, there's the, the case of rocks, the silver bell,
• 46:58
  Skyler: the grandfather clock.
• 47:00
  Skyler: The Alchemist tools.
• 47:02
  Skyler: The books in the bookshelf.
• 47:04
  Skyler: Um. Bird cages and a globe.
• 47:08
  Skyler: That's what's left.
• 47:08
  Skyler: That hasn't been interacted with yet.
• 47:10
  Skyler: Barak loves rocks.
• 47:11
  Skyler: Okay.
• 47:12
  Jackson: Uh, Kaito, using his newfound barbarian abilities, is going to
• 47:18
  Jackson: try to detect magic in them or use his magic awareness.
• 47:22
  Skyler: That's a that's a barbarian ability.
• 47:24
  Skyler: It is as.
• 47:25
  Jackson: Barbarian as.
• 47:25
  Skyler: It. Really interesting.
• 47:27
  Skyler: Okay, okay.
• 47:28
  Skyler: So detailed.
• 47:28
  Jackson: So as thorough as an action, you can open your awareness to the
• 47:32
  Jackson: presence of concentrated magic.
• 47:35
  Skyler: Okay.
• 47:36
  Jackson: Until the end of your turn, you know, the location of any spell
• 47:38
  Jackson: or magic item.
• 47:39
  Skyler: Okay, here's what I'll tell you.
• 47:42
  Jackson: They're all magic.
• 47:43
  Skyler: Yeah, I was gonna say, uh, the door, but what if it reveals,
• 47:46
  Skyler: like, a small one that we wouldn't have noticed?
• 47:48
  Skyler: Oh, and that's the real one.
• 47:50
  Skyler: That's a good point.
• 47:52
  Skyler: Uh, here's what I'll tell you.
• 47:54
  Skyler: The door is magic.
• 47:57
  Skyler: It is magically locked.
• 47:59
  Skyler: The case of rocks is not magic, but one of the rocks inside is
• 48:08
  Skyler: the purple rock.
• 48:09
  Skyler: Inside of there is magical.
• 48:11
  Skyler: The bell, but not the velvet pillow is magic.
• 48:15
  Skyler: The clock is magic.
• 48:18
  Skyler: The Alchemist tools have what
• 48:22
  Skyler: seem to be some liquids inside
• 48:24
  Skyler: of them that have magical
• 48:26
  Skyler: properties.
• 48:27
  Skyler: Um, so the liquids themselves would technically be magic.
• 48:30
  Skyler: Uh, the the stone bust statue that he, uh, that des just
• 48:35
  Skyler: shattered on the floor.
• 48:35
  Skyler: Zero magic.
• 48:37
  Skyler: Um.
• 48:37
  Speaker 10: Nothing, but I have it snows.
• 48:40
  Skyler: Three of the books on the bookshelf are magical.
• 48:44
  Skyler: And finally, the.
• 48:46
  Skyler: Actually, no, not finally.
• 48:47
  Skyler: The book or the Birdcages are all magical.
• 48:51
  Skyler: And the dusty globe is magical.
• 48:55
  Skyler: You got all.
• 48:56
  Speaker 10: That?
• 48:57
  Jackson: Yes.
• 48:58
  Skyler: Most things in this room are magical.
• 49:00
  Skyler: It's just.
• 49:00
  Skyler: Which part of it is magical, I suppose.
• 49:02
  Skyler: Would be.
• 49:02
  Jackson: Add to that, when I sense a spell, I learn the school of
• 49:08
  Jackson: magic it belongs to.
• 49:09
  Jackson: So rather than have me repeat all of them.
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 49:11
  Jackson: Are there any schools of magic
• 49:15
  Jackson: that a I would recognise and b
• 49:18
  Jackson: that I would recognise as
• 49:19
  Jackson: potentially detrimental.
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 49:22
  Skyler: Um.
• 49:23
  Jackson: Oh, this one is going to be a conjuring school.
• 49:25
  Jackson: That probably bodes dangerous.
• 49:28
  Skyler: Yes. So there's some transmutations.
• 49:32
  Skyler: There are some evocations.
• 49:36
  Skyler: Evocations are oftentimes attack spells.
• 49:39
  Skyler: Uh, Transmutations are usually like, uh, a lot of times our
• 49:44
  Skyler: buffs and debuff type stuff.
• 49:46
  Skyler: Um, let's see, there's, I have to like, thankfully I oh,
• 49:51
  Skyler: there's some enchantment spells.
• 49:53
  Skyler: Those can kind of be a lot of different things.
• 49:56
  Speaker 12: What spell would open a door?
• 49:58
  Jackson: That's a good.
• 49:59
  Skyler: Question.
• 50:00
  Speaker 12: That's what I was thinking.
• 50:01
  Skyler: I think enchantment also would probably be.
• 50:04
  Jackson: I'm going to zero in on a spell of enchanting.
• 50:08
  Jackson: All right.
• 50:08
  Jackson: Item that may be.
• 50:09
  Skyler: Here there are.
• 50:10
  Jackson: two.
• 50:12
  Skyler: One is the silver bell that sits on the velvet pillow.
• 50:15
  Skyler: And the other is one of the books that sits on the shelf.
• 50:20
  Jackson: Well, Metagaming fatty is going
• 50:23
  Jackson: to be saying every time you pull
• 50:25
  Jackson: a book on a bookshelf, it opens
• 50:26
  Jackson: the door.
• 50:27
  Jackson: So he's going to go for one of the, uh, the books.
• 50:29
  Skyler: Okay. Specifically the one that had the enchantment magic.
• 50:32
  Skyler: Okay.
• 50:33
  Skyler: Um, you walk over and you see the book, it kind of glows with
• 50:36
  Skyler: a specific color that lets you know that it's enchantment.
• 50:39
  Skyler: Magic.
• 50:40
  Skyler: Uh, the book is titled The
• 50:41
  Skyler: Collected Poems of a Comedic
• 50:44
  Skyler: Goblin.
• 50:45
  Speaker 12: That sounds great.
• 50:46
  Jackson: It does sound, though.
• 50:47
  Jackson: You kept a diary up here.
• 50:48
  Speaker 12: What do you remember?
• 50:49
  Speaker 12: Our faces pressed against the
• 50:50
  Speaker 12: glass, looking at the rocks, and
• 50:52
  Speaker 12: he goes, what are you talking
• 50:53
  Speaker 12: about?
• 50:53
  Skyler: Um, do you, do you take the book down?
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: Yeah. He's he's drooling.
• 50:57
  Skyler: And do you.
• 50:59
  Jackson: Didn't you take the book and flip through it.
• 51:01
  Skyler: Flip it open.
• 51:02
  Skyler: Okay. You take the book down, you flip through it.
• 51:05
  Skyler: I need you to make a wisdom saving throw.
• 51:11
  Jackson: Oh, no.
• 51:13
  Speaker 12: Roy did also stand by the poster
• 51:16
  Speaker 12: of the mustache Man and just
• 51:17
  Speaker 12: point and laugh at it for a
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: while.
• 51:18
  Jackson: Yeah, yeah.
• 51:19
  Jackson: That's good.
• 51:20
  Jackson: How about a name, team Kato?
• 51:21
  Skyler: You you read one of the poems that this this goblin has
• 51:27
  Skyler: allegedly written, and it's about a turnip.
• 51:30
  Skyler: And it it loves this turnip.
• 51:32
  Skyler: It's a goofy.
• 51:33
  Skyler: It's kind of just a goofy poem about a turnip.
• 51:35
  Skyler: And it.
• 51:35
  Skyler: In the end, it eats the turnip.
• 51:38
  Skyler: Uh, that's the basic gist of it.
• 51:39
  Skyler: With that being said, you feel this poem is hilarious.
• 51:45
  Skyler: It is so funny.
• 51:48
  Skyler: But you contain your laughter and you manage to let out a
• 51:53
  Skyler: little bit of a chuckle.
• 51:54
  Skyler: But it's nothing obscene, it's nothing excessive.
• 51:57
  Skyler: It's a funny poem.
• 51:59
  Jackson: I was thinking a goblin would write.
• 52:01
  Jackson: I feel like goblin poems would just be like Andrew Dice Clay
• 52:05
  Jackson: jokes all the time.
• 52:07
  Skyler: All the time.
• 52:08
  Jackson: Just always.
• 52:08
  Jackson: The butt is like I did your mother.
• 52:13
  Speaker 12: It's a poem talking about a
• 52:15
  Speaker 12: meadow in the spring and at the
• 52:16
  Speaker 12: end.
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: And then I did.
• 52:21
  Skyler: So with that being said, that's
• 52:22
  Skyler: that's what you've you've
• 52:23
  Skyler: garnished.
• 52:24
  Jackson: Okay. Yeah. He is going to
• 52:26
  Jackson: cackle, do a brief chortle and
• 52:29
  Jackson: then nonchalantly put it back on
• 52:31
  Jackson: the bookshelf.
• 52:32
  Speaker 12: Actually, Ali ends every poem in this book.
• 52:34
  Speaker 12: He goes, and then I ate the turnip.
• 52:36
  Speaker 12: And then I ate the tumor.
• 52:37
  Skyler: That was the highest save DC out of everything in this room.
• 52:41
  Skyler: And you managed to pull it off.
• 52:43
  Skyler: So well done.
• 52:44
  Jackson: Oh.
• 52:45
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 52:45
  Jackson: He really doesn't like Aurora.
• 52:47
  Jackson: He's like, it.
• 52:48
  Skyler: Was.
• 52:48
  Jackson: Funny.
• 52:49
  Skyler: It was funny.
• 52:50
  Skyler: That's it.
• 52:50
  Skyler: You know?
• 52:51
  Skyler: it's okay.
• 52:52
  Skyler: Um, with that being said, the
• 52:54
  Skyler: the only other remaining
• 52:56
  Skyler: enchantment item is the Silver
• 52:58
  Skyler: Bell.
• 52:59
  Jackson: AM I rock?
• 53:00
  Skyler: Well, that is magical, but not an enchantment.
• 53:02
  Jackson: Oh, sorry.
• 53:03
  Skyler: Are you touching the rock?
• 53:04
  Jackson: I'm staring into the case deeply.
• 53:07
  Jackson: Looking at the rocks.
• 53:08
  Jackson: Sure.
• 53:08
  Jackson: And I'm talking to frog.
• 53:10
  Jackson: Telling him about the wonders of frogs.
• 53:12
  Skyler: Oh.
• 53:13
  Jackson: Right on.
• 53:13
  Jackson: And, Gertrude, we're on the horse still, right?
• 53:16
  Jackson: Goat.
• 53:17
  Jackson: Wow.
• 53:17
  Skyler: She's really leaned.
• 53:18
  Jackson: In. Actually, no, she's staying next to me.
• 53:19
  Jackson: It's Gertrude.
• 53:20
  Skyler: Right?
• 53:20
  Skyler: I was gonna say, I don't know how that frog.
• 53:21
  Jackson: On the right.
• 53:22
  Jackson: And we're all staring deeply into it.
• 53:24
  Jackson: Ezra.
• 53:24
  Jackson: Who's telling them the wonders of the multiple?
• 53:26
  Skyler: Sure, sure, sure.
• 53:27
  Skyler: All right.
• 53:28
  Skyler: Right on.
• 53:28
  Skyler: Are you checking out the bell?
• 53:30
  Jackson: Oh, yeah.
• 53:31
  Jackson: I should go check out the bell.
• 53:32
  Skyler: Yeah. All right.
• 53:33
  Jackson: I know what the bell does.
• 53:34
  Jackson: Or I know the bell is something.
• 53:36
  Skyler: Uh, you approach the bell.
• 53:38
  Skyler: The velvet bell, it sits on top
• 53:39
  Skyler: of, like, a fancy Roman style
• 53:41
  Skyler: stone pedestal.
• 53:43
  Skyler: And then there's the beautiful red velvet pillow.
• 53:45
  Skyler: And gently sitting atop that is this beautiful silver bell.
• 53:50
  Jackson: For whom the bell tolls, I shall ring it.
• 53:52
  Skyler: Okay, you ring the bell.
• 53:55
  Skyler: And just like the kid on the
• 53:57
  Skyler: Polar Express, you can't hear
• 53:58
  Skyler: it.
• 53:59
  Skyler: You.
• 53:59
  Skyler: You're a doubter.
• 54:01
  Skyler: You're a doubt.
• 54:02
  Skyler: No, I'm totally kidding.
• 54:04
  Skyler: Uh, you ring the bell, there's a soft, gentle ring.
• 54:07
  Skyler: And as it does, the doors at the end of the room open up.
• 54:11
  Jackson: Wow.
• 54:13
  Skyler: You have you have summoned the doors to be open, and they have
• 54:16
  Skyler: followed your call.
• 54:17
  Skyler: That's just me saying this.
• 54:18
  Skyler: I don't know, not not the intended.
• 54:20
  Skyler: Oh, yeah.
• 54:21
  Speaker 13: There's a butler who walks out and he goes, yes, you.
• 54:24
  Speaker 13: You rang the bell open.
• 54:26
  Jackson: Bolt through the door because like, he's not gonna get the
• 54:29
  Jackson: chance to close it again.
• 54:32
  Speaker 13: Are any of you doors?
• 54:36
  Skyler: With that being said, on the
• 54:39
  Skyler: other side of this door, you see
• 54:42
  Skyler: an office.
• 54:44
  Skyler: And this is Alexandria.
