  Justin (GM): Previously on Camp Do Anything, Avandria and Yankshur Brave had a discussion about the ethics of magic in their partnership and the camp's prospects in the upcoming tournament with ex camp Stelshaw. Not long after, a camper showed up at Mala's door reporting that the Shapeshifter campers, known as the Kiles, had led another camper past Bunky's alarmist belt and into the Great Woods. Splitting up the party, Bunky, Avandria, and Pat take the dune buggy and head deep into the woods. It's not long before the trio come across the dangerous Forget Me Not flower, which creates a powerful amnesiac effect, an effect which they experimentally succumb to one by one? Meanwhile, Eleanor and Mala find a deep grave and an active Ouija board spelling out the name of a camper who's long since passed.
• 1:03
  With hands shooting out of the grave, we pick up right where we left off. We pivot to the other three. You okay?
• 1:13
  Eric (Bunky): I don't I don't feel good. What? What are we doing here? Pat Pat Evandria? What?
• 1:22
  We're looking for Kiles.
• 1:24
  Nick (Pat): Why? Forget me not, Skottas.
• 1:26
  Eric (Bunky): What? What do you mean we're looking for the
• 1:29
  Nick (Pat): What's the last thing you remember?
• 1:33
  Eric (Bunky): I we were just with on the beach, and now we're here. I
• 1:43
  Kayla (Evandria): Bunky, we were with Tamara on the beach last night.
• 1:47
  Eric (Bunky): Last

• 1:53
  Kayla (Evandria): Yeah.
• 1:53
  Eric (Bunky): I don't
• 1:53
  Kayla (Evandria): You, like, walked out of your cabin this morning looking glamorous.
• 1:57
  Eric (Bunky): But but the campers haven't
• 2:01
  Nick (Pat): Can do an insight check,
• 2:02
  Justin (GM): Knots? Damn.
• 2:06
  Nick (Pat): That's 17 on the die. 19.
• 2:08
  Justin (GM): Yeah. Bunky is definitely suffering from some type of amnesia and has forgotten all of today.
• 2:15
  Nick (Pat): Was it you remember today. Right, Evandria?
• 2:19
  Kayla (Evandria): Yeah. Yeah. I mean I lost, like I know why we're here.
• 2:23
  Nick (Pat): I lost, like, thirty seconds. You lost a day? I I don't Bunky, you picked
• 2:29
  Eric (Bunky): up a flower. One of these ones?
• 2:31
  Nick (Pat): Yep. Don't touch
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: it. Touch
• 2:33
  Justin (GM): it. Can
• 2:35
  Eric (Bunky): I can I do a nature check on these flowers?
• 2:38
  Justin (GM): Yeah. Give me a nature check.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: Six. You know that these
• 2:42
  Justin (GM): are forget me nuts and they are powerful spell components for mind and life altering spells.
• 2:50
  Eric (Bunky): And so you're saying I I touched these and and I've lost a a whole day is what you're telling me?
• 2:58
  Nick (Pat): That's what it sounds I
• 2:59
  Kayla (Evandria): mean, we we didn't lose a whole day, but it it we thought since you're magical that you could touch the flowers and nothing would happen.
• 3:09
  Justin (GM): You see the glitter on the ground kind of where you had picked Bunky you swooped Bunky up before he had fallen down, kind of the glitter that kind of exuded from him when he picked up the flower.
• 3:20
  Kayla (Evandria): Evandria, upon noticing the glitter, slowly lets her hand release from the tree and, like, slides her body down until she thumps onto the ground. And she reaches down and and grabs a little pile of the glitter and kinda puts her hand down towards Bunky and offers it up.
• 3:42
  Eric (Bunky): I don't eat it.
• 3:44
  Kayla (Evandria): I'm I don't really know what you do with it, but I thought maybe, like, sprinkling it on you or something.
• 3:53
  Justin (GM): As you say that, you hear a scream in the distance.
• 3:59
  Nick (Pat): That's bad. Okay. Bunky, we're gonna figure that out.
• 4:03
  Eric (Bunky): Bunkie opens his pouch for Evandria to dump the glitter in.
• 4:07
  Kayla (Evandria): She dumps it in.
• 4:07
  Eric (Bunky): I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being rude. I I
• 4:11
  Eric (Bunky): I was just frazzled. I don't really think you're trying to get it to me.
• 4:14
  Eric (Bunky): Just I I
• 4:14
  Kayla (Evandria): It's okay.
• 4:15
  Nick (Pat): We're okay. We all we all grabbed it. It's we just didn't know it'd be that bad.
• 4:19
  Eric (Bunky): We gotta go find that screen Yeah.
• 4:22
  Kayla (Evandria): We're split from the rest of the group. I I We'll tell you
• 4:24
  Evan (Mala): on the way.
• 4:25
  Kayla (Evandria): Great. Yeah.
• 4:25
  Nick (Pat): Is this a dune buggy able trip over there? Can I get there faster? Your call. Is it on direction of the path? No.
• 4:33
  Back towards the path or it's in the opposite direction? Hoofing it?
• 4:36
  Justin (GM): Yep. Let's buggy. You all start running in the direction of The Scream. You are kind of letting abandon to the wind as you kind of dart in and out of trees. It's dark, but you've got your light cantrip.
• 4:51
  Bunky's glowing himself, and you are ducking and diving through the trees as best you can. And you finally come to a clearing. And give me all three of you a dexterity saving throw. 16. 50.
• 5:10
  15. I just needed you to beat a five. Was being extremely lenient because all you're doing is as you break through the clearing, it's a field of forget me nots.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Oh. Oh my god. Go go go go.
• 5:24
  Justin (GM): Oh shit. You were running at full source of the scream. You're gonna have to go around.
• 5:45
  Nick (Pat): Okay. Dune buggy?
• 5:47
  Kayla (Evandria): We for sure can't go through, so I guess yeah.
• 5:50
  Nick (Pat): Let's grip it and rip it. We're gonna run back to the dune buggy and and make the hard drive.
• 5:54
  Justin (GM): Great. We'll pick up with the other two. The hand claws its way up out of the pit, and it looks like this corpse that has not seen any moisture in a century. It you can see the bones underneath the skin. Its face is sunken.
• 6:21
  Its eyes are hollow. When it opens its mouth, it has no tongue. It makes no scream as it opens its jaws wide towards you. It shambles as it pulls itself up out of the grave, and it's going to make a swipe at Mala. You take six slashing damage.
• 6:42
  That's its first attack. Its second attack, you take nine more slashing damage, and its third attack does an 11 hit. No. Great. The third as it takes its longer, larger left hand and tries to grip onto you and pull you towards the pit.
• 7:04
  It fully gets out of the deep darkness that it crawled out of and is going to make its way away from the pit. It is now fully fully beside you out of the pit.
• 7:20
  Evan (Mala): Mala, go ahead. Is it just, like, shambling corpse type appearance, or is there something that
• 7:25
  Justin (GM): goes by pit? It has, like, some decrepit clothes, but nothing that is distinguishable, like half a shirt, like a pant leg at its ankle, but nothing that is, like, distinguishing it as anything specific.
• 7:39
  Jamie (Eleanore): It has all its limbs and everything.
• 7:41
  Justin (GM): It has all of its limbs. It looks more than skeletal, but in particular, like a very dried out zombie more than like a decaying zombie, if that makes sense.
• 7:51
  Evan (Mala): I'm going to switch to my trident. Actually, my long sword, pull it out, and I'm going
• 7:57
  Justin (GM): to To start your turn, make a constitution saving throw. 16. The air around this creature is dry, and you feel your throat get scratchy. You resist whatever it is that's sucking the moisture from it, but you know that being in close proximity to this is dangerous. I'm gonna
• 8:22
  Evan (Mala): yell out to Eleanor. It's like, don't don't get too close to it. It's doing something to the air. It burns. And I will make a swing at it.
• 8:32
  Natural one.
• 8:33
  Justin (GM): It's dark. This creature has just sucked moisture from everything around it, and your sword goes wide as it just is too much. So much is going on. You weren't expecting something to come out from this hole, and you miss.
• 8:49
  Evan (Mala): Bonus action, lay on hands myself for the full 10. Great. And then I will have Jar do the help action as his free action for Eleanor.
• 9:02
  Justin (GM): Great. So you have advantage on your attack.
• 9:05
  Jamie (Eleanore): Okay. So what I would like to do so Eleanor rolled a one for her initiative. She is super frightened, she jumps back and is trying scramble with both her hooves and her hands. And because we know if she has to use both at things like climbing or anything athletic, she's not good at it. So she's, like, scrambling and, like, falls over.
• 9:31
  And she watches Mala get attacked and Mala say not to get near, but she doesn't have time to, like, ready her bow and and pull back and everything. So she, with one hand, grabs her machete and with the other hand grabs her flask of holy water. And she scrambles over, makes an attack with her machete, and then as her extra attack or bonus action, she uses her mouth and pops off the cork of the holy water and splashes holy water.
• 10:02
  Justin (GM): Yep. Go ahead and make your attack. You have advantage, by the way.
• 10:06
  Jamie (Eleanore): Yes. I got it. 15.
• 10:08
  Justin (GM): That is a hit. Cool. And you do have sneak attack since you had advantage.
• 10:11
  Jamie (Eleanore): Oh, hell yeah. Okay. So that's 10 with my machete. K. And then what happens when I splash holy water?
• 10:18
  Justin (GM): You splash holy water on it, and two things happen. The first thing that happens is the water immediately evaporates. Every water, every source of water near this creature is immediately absorbed. It is an incredibly dry space. So dry that you must now make a constitution saving throw as your throat constricts.
• 10:42
  You feel incredibly thirsty.
• 10:44
  Jamie (Eleanore): Nine.
• 10:46
  Justin (GM): You have one level of exhaustion. Okay. As you were just overcome with this extreme desire for thirst, which just means that every d 20 roll will have a minus two to it. The water though still does take effect because it has absorbed this holy water. And you see its skin start to boil and writhe as it pushes back at this holy water.
• 11:11
  This creature has natural immunities, and those are all wiped clean. So all of the fire and poison immunities are all gone from this creature.
• 11:22
  Jamie (Eleanore): Mala, that was holy water. It it should do something.
• 11:25
  Evan (Mala): Let's kill this bitch.
• 11:27
  Justin (GM): The three of you are riding your dune buggy out around the field of forget me nots. Pat, give me a dexterity sneaker.
• 11:38
  Nick (Pat): So I can as the driver of the dune buggy, can use its dex and get a bandage Okay. For evasive maneuver. 14 on the die plus four eighteen.
• 11:51
  Justin (GM): You are going as fast as you can to get to the source of this scream going around the field of Forget Me Nots.
• 11:59
  Nick (Pat): Come on. Come on. Come on.
• 12:00
  Justin (GM): And at the last second, see two people in your way. You swerve the Bye. Buggy out of the way, do you want to keep going or do you want to stop?
• 12:13
  Nick (Pat): Can I see who it is? Or like, is it obvious enough to do I know these people enough to be able to tell them quickly?
• 12:19
  Justin (GM): You would recognize them it's hard to say the word recognize them as Yeah. Because they are changelings Yeah. But you immediately know them to be two of the Kiles.
• 12:29
  Nick (Pat): Kiles. The hell are you doing out here?
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Oh my god. Please, please, quickly, help, help us. What are you doing? We were we came out here. We were we wanted to summon Cassius.
• 12:40
  We summon Cassius. You wanted to summon Cassius? One of the campers said that they were his relative, so we wanted to summon him.
• 12:46
  Nick (Pat): Get in the buggy.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Which camper? Raven. Raven said he was Raven said that he was Cassius' relative, so we we came out here to summon him. We posed as Eleanor. We came out here to summon him.
• 12:57
  Kayla (Evandria): To who's we? Just you just you two?
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: Our our cousin. It was just us our cousin and then Raven. He we came out here to summon him and and and Raven got crazy and he ran off. Where are these other two? Where are they?
• 13:09
  They hit the Raven took took Kyle and they ran off with him. We have to go back to camp.
• 13:18
  Nick (Pat): Camp is a is not really an option right now. Get in the buggy. Tell us where they went with Raiden.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: We don't know. We just ran away.
• 13:24
  Nick (Pat): Which direction did they go, Kyle?
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: We ran the other way.
• 13:26
  Nick (Pat): Okay. We're going. Let's go. Get in the buggy.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: They they hop in the back.
• 13:31
  Justin (GM): They're just like holding on. They look at how Andrea's holding on.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: They're like, can we please sit in the front seat?
• 13:36
  Nick (Pat): Yes. That's fine.
• 13:37
  Justin (GM): Okay. Please. They, like, both get in the front seat. They shape shift down into smaller creatures too, like, halflings so that they can buckle up themselves both into the front seat. And they, like, death grip onto each other.
• 13:48
  Eric (Bunky): God, you guys are
• 13:48
  Justin (GM): One of them holds onto your shoulder extremely tightly. Oh my And the other has a hold of one of the crossbars. Okay. We're ready. Kyle's.
• 13:57
  Eric (Bunky): Ready? Yep. Bunky's holding on around the handle by the by the front window since there's now not a seat for him. So he's just kinda, like dangling out the window
• 14:05
  Kayla (Evandria): The Gandria's still on the top and as they start to accelerate again, she lets out her battle cry. Gaseous.
• 14:15
  Justin (GM): It is going to attack it is going to attack Mala again. The first first attack, attack, Nat, Nat 20. 20. You take 12 slashing damage. Next attack, 13.
• 14:32
  It's not hit. It tries to get a grip on you after getting a serious blow, but I you get your shield up. Nothing nothing makes you get into a defensive position by getting hit in the gut. And the third swing is an eight.
• 14:48
  Evan (Mala): That will miss a block. I just smacked the hand away at this point, like, breaking a little bit, this decrepit old corpse.
• 14:54
  Justin (GM): You knock it pretty far away from you. You are now out of melee range of it. It is your turn.
• 15:01
  Evan (Mala): I'm gonna throw a fireball at it. So I'll summon I'll I'll summon a fire along my sword and stab it towards it and launch it from the tip of the blade. Great. It's a natural two, so a seven.
• 15:14
  Justin (GM): You launch it towards it, but it goes just to the side of it as it is a little thrown off balance, which somehow also makes it a little bit more dexterous as it loses balance and the fire that you shot to it goes just to the left.
• 15:29
  Evan (Mala): I'll sprint back the full 30 feet, and then I will have Jarre try to pin it down. It's not gonna grapple up, but just slam into it with an attack. Yeah. 13?
• 15:41
  Justin (GM): Knotsa beats it.
• 15:43
  Evan (Mala): Okay. That is five fire damage.
• 15:47
  Justin (GM): Great. And all of that goes through, to the holy water. We will go to Eleanor.
• 15:53
  Jamie (Eleanore): So is he like on fire a little bit?
• 15:55
  Justin (GM): Yeah. He's got a little singed.
• 15:57
  Jamie (Eleanore): Okay. Eleanor now having a little better control of herself. She's exhausted, but she stands up, throws the holy water flask over her shoulder because it's empty. And then she sees Mala catch catch it on fire a little bit. And so she still has her machete and she pulls out oil as well.
• 16:18
  And again, she takes one swipe with the machete and then she will aim the oil at the fire and throw a splash of oil on him.
• 16:28
  Justin (GM): Great. Go ahead and take your swing. Don't forget your minus two from
• 16:31
  Jamie (Eleanore): your Yes. And I don't have advantage. Right? That was just for that one roll. 20.
• 16:38
  Justin (GM): Great. That's a hit.
• 16:39
  Evan (Mala): She has sneak attack because Jar is in melee range.
• 16:42
  Justin (GM): Yes. Six
• 16:46
  Jamie (Eleanore): damage.
• 16:46
  Justin (GM): Okay.
• 16:47
  Jamie (Eleanore): And then am I able to use my hooves?
• 16:50
  Justin (GM): Yes.
• 16:50
  Jamie (Eleanore): Okay. As a bonus action, I hit him with my hooves. 11.
• 16:57
  Justin (GM): That is a miss. And go ahead and give me a ranged attack to try and hit him with the oil. So just dex plus proficiency minus two. So just dex since proficiency is plus two.
• 17:11
  Jamie (Eleanore): Oh, okay. 15.
• 17:14
  Justin (GM): 15 hits?
• 17:15
  Jamie (Eleanore): Hell yeah.
• 17:16
  Justin (GM): The what was your phoenix damage? Five. Five? What was the dice roll?
• 17:21
  Evan (Mala): On the damage?
• 17:21
  Justin (GM): What what dice did you use to roll? Two d four. Two d four? Roll two d four again.
• 17:26
  Evan (Mala): I don't know. You may wanna roll it. I'm not doing hot. Oh, no. Never mind.
• 17:29
  Six.
• 17:30
  Justin (GM): You hit the patch of little bit of charged flesh that's on his shoulder with the oil. It smashes and it reignites the flame in a brilliant flash. It does fully extinguish that flame, but he takes seven more damage from the fire that sprouts in his face. You hear from the pit more sounds of things climbing up. The other thing you hear as two headlights come up from around the corner, and I will have the other three of you roll initiative.
• 18:10
  Evan (Mala): Oof. We have nine and one. They're gonna come forward.
• 18:13
  Jamie (Eleanore): I used all my holy water.
• 18:14
  Nick (Pat): Here's some of the rolls.
• 18:15
  Eric (Bunky): Five, only because I'm stressed. Otherwise, I'd have had it otherwise, I'd have been at twenty.
• 18:21
  Nick (Pat): Four. Okay. Here come the bad rolls. Don't you worry, everybody.
• 18:26
  Kayla (Evandria): Twenty one.
• 18:27
  Justin (GM): Okay. There we go. With that, Avandria, you come up on the dune buggy, and all you see are a slightly charred, charred, decayed looking creature standing beside a large hole and your two friends, Eleanor and Mala, standing seemingly in combat with it.
• 18:45
  Nick (Pat): What do
• 18:46
  Justin (GM): you do?
• 18:46
  Kayla (Evandria): Where is Where's Yanks?
• 18:48
  Justin (GM): Yanks? Good question. Yanks is currently flying around making the sound.
• 18:58
  Kayla (Evandria): Okay. So she is immediately upon seeing something that looks like it is attacking her pals. She is going to perform a full stand surf maneuver as they screech to a halt halt in this dune buggy. And so train her hand on the head of this zombie, and she's going to take a quick look around for Yanks and say, Yanks, Hunter's Mark, let's go.
• 19:28
  Justin (GM): He finally has been given some orders that he understands, and he zooms down and grabs the small wisps of hair that are still on the zombie's head and starts to yank it back, exposing its throat.
• 19:41
  Kayla (Evandria): Perfect. And as he does that, she takes from her belt two of her daggers, and she throws both of them seemingly simultaneously, but there's one slightly ahead of the other. And she does this as she's, like, in the air jumping down. And so for the first one, does a 22 hit?
• 20:02
  Justin (GM): Yes.
• 20:03
  Kayla (Evandria): And then a nine.
• 20:06
  Justin (GM): The nine is a miss.
• 20:07
  Kayla (Evandria): Okay. So the one dagger just barely misses and it goes straight into a tree with a loud thump, and then the next one hits its mark mark d and does 10 damage.
• 20:25
  Justin (GM): Nice. As it slices through its throat, there's not enough moisture or collective sinew there for it to really hold on, and Yanks is pulling with everything he's got, and you hear just a ripping sound as it head as his head is completely separated from its body, and the the body itself just kind of tumbles down into the pit, and you do not hear. Hear for the three of you who have just entered into this space, you do not hear a thump as it falls into the pit.
• 21:00
  Kayla (Evandria): So as she now has thrown both daggers, she comes down into a roll stands up, and she is now right next to the dune buggy, but she's standing on the ground. And she turns both Kiles, and she says, what on earth have you done? Stay there. Okay. We we we won't leave.
• 21:18
  We won't leave. We promise. Promise. And that is her turn.
• 21:23
  Justin (GM): Two more Stay pairs of hands crawl out of the pit as these creatures, similarly resembling the one that has just fallen down into the pit rise out from underneath the ground. So there are now two more zombies standing before you. The first one will attack Mala. My highest roll is a 14.
• 21:53
  Evan (Mala): No, I'll miss.
• 21:54
  Justin (GM): Okay. And the other one will rush at Evandria. My highest roll is also 14.
• 22:02
  Kayla (Evandria): That hits.
• 22:03
  Justin (GM): My other roll is well
• 22:04
  Kayla (Evandria): If it meets it?
• 22:05
  Justin (GM): Yeah. Meets it. Yeah. Meets Give me a constitution saving throw. 10.
• 22:12
  You feel the air around you dry up. Your hair gets frizzy and your ends split as the even your hair gets dry. You feel your fingers crack, your lips start to bleed from the dry air, and you take a total of five damage and have one level of exhaustion.
• 22:33
  Kayla (Evandria): What type of damage?
• 22:35
  Justin (GM): Great question. It is slashing damage.
• 22:37
  Kayla (Evandria): Damn
• 22:37
  Justin (GM): it. You take one level of exhaustion, which from here forward means you minus two from all of your d 20 rolls.
• 22:43
  Kayla (Evandria): Okay. So they they're not doing necrotic damage?
• 22:46
  Justin (GM): They are not doing necrotic At least not yet.
• 22:50
  Kayla (Evandria): And so as this is happening to her, her vision kind of gets fuzzy, and she just first, the face, then then the fucking hair. And this just seems to enrage her.
• 23:03
  Justin (GM): You've got one of these zombies engaged with Evandria, and one engaged with Mala as we arrive at Mala's turn.
• 23:13
  Evan (Mala): I'm going to sprint away Okay. Using my bonus action dash that I get through my orc thing. Yep. So Mala is gonna be like, hey, guys. I need a break.
• 23:22
  I'm I'm looking real bad, and I will just sprint off. I gained two temp HP from that. I'm gonna take cover behind the buggy. Okay. And then I'm going to cast cure wounds on myself.
• 23:34
  So it'll my hands will writhe in, like, white flame, and I'll just press them to all my wounds, and it will cauterize them shut. And I get back 12 HP. Nice. I'm up to 15 with two temporary, and that's bonus action, movement, and action.
• 23:50
  Justin (GM): So my turn's den. Awesome. You all see Mala run away and do some quick recovery as they have taken many a hit.
• 23:58
  Eric (Bunky): Go ahead, Bunky. Bunky, when arriving at the scene, is just angry. Because he's already as far as Bunky is concerned, he's just finished a very stressful downtime. And now finds finding out, oh, it's even worse because I have lost some of myself. So he's just coming.
• 24:18
  He's hurdling a chromatic orb. Hell, yeah.
• 24:24
  Justin (GM): Not a D and D game, folks, unless a player throws their dice on the ground.
• 24:27
  Eric (Bunky): What is this? That's an 18.
• 24:29
  Justin (GM): That is a hit. Yeah.
• 24:35
  Eric (Bunky): It's gonna be eight eight lightning damage. Bucket waves his arms and 10 tiny marbles of light circle around him before all combining into just a single orb that he throws at the zombie.
• 24:50
  Justin (GM): The lightning hits it in the chest and the sparks writhe around its form as it kind of jolts and its muscles tense up and it takes eight damage. Go ahead, Pat.
• 25:00
  Nick (Pat): Pat would like to Pat wants to ram one of the zombies and continue in the direction of wherever the hell Raven and the last Kyle went. Okay. So I'm gonna take a a little Dex throw hat. It's a 12 plus four sixteen That's
• 25:16
  Justin (GM): a hit.
• 25:16
  Nick (Pat): To hit. Seven.
• 25:21
  Justin (GM): I will say that this is the one that Molla left behind. Yep. So you split some of this damage as just truly like road kill. You hear a as you run over the zombie that was kinda standing by itself and not the one that was engaged within Vandria.
• 25:37
  Nick (Pat): We've got another job. We'll be back. Pellix Abunkin says, you coming or you staying?
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna help them out.
• 25:44
  Nick (Pat): Heard. Kiles, you gonna take your questing ritual again? Flies out.
• 25:52
  Eric (Bunky): As he's leaving, I toss him my Warble Marble since I know he does not have his. Because now I'm like, we need to have contact. Pat, take this.
• 26:03
  Nick (Pat): It's a 19 on the dive for my
• 26:04
  Evan (Mala): athletics check to grab it.
• 26:05
  Justin (GM): Yeah. You snag it out of the air.
• 26:06
  Jamie (Eleanore): Eleanor. Eleanor takes her machete and just starts hauling ass toward Evandria and the zombie that's with Evandria and takes a swipe with her machete.
• 26:16
  Justin (GM): 20. That is a hit.
• 26:20
  Jamie (Eleanore): 11 points of damage.
• 26:23
  Evan (Mala): Nice.
• 26:24
  Jamie (Eleanore): She just takes a swipe and she keeps running and she runs towards the, large pile of dirt and she reaches down, grabs a shovel, and she just starts shoveling dirt and throwing it behind her into the hole if she can hit it, and then also using her front hooves to scrape at the to scrape at the dirt pile like she's a cat covering up shit and get the dirt into the hole. And she just starts filling up the hole because she's thinking if these things keep coming, I I don't know what to do.
• 26:58
  Justin (GM): As you're doing this, you the dirt is going into the hole and you're not hearing it hit the bottom of the hole. This kind of tells you that there is something magical happening with this hole that you need to fix to close it. Of Andrea. So
• 27:17
  Kayla (Evandria): there's the
• 27:19
  Justin (GM): One in melee engaged with you right now. It is run up to you.
• 27:23
  Kayla (Evandria): Okay. So she takes in her hair, braided into her braid is a rope, as she always has. And so she reaches back and undoes this rope and throws it up over the tree and uses the rope to almost gymnastic style, like, you know how they climb with their arms. Does she does that to get up and above to get a a height advantage on on this zombie, hoping that that will allow her to get within the range to use her weapons. Yeah.
• 28:03
  And so, am I is that an action then?
• 28:06
  Justin (GM): No. That's not.
• 28:07
  Kayla (Evandria): It's just my movement? Yep. Okay. So as she does this, she's fishing around on her belt trying to find more of her throwing stars. And so she grabs two of those, one with her pointer finger and then one with her ring finger.
• 28:24
  And she launches the first one using her pointer to kind of flick it down, and it spins in the air like a blade coming towards the face of this zombie that is looking up at her as she has scaled this tree.
• 28:41
  Justin (GM): I think Yankster Braid sees you do this, and he's going to fly to the one that you were attacking and move your Hunter's Mark to that one as your bonus action?
• 28:52
  Kayla (Evandria): Oh, perfect. Yes. That's exactly what she needed in this moment, isn't yanks? It is. It's intuitive.
• 28:58
  Justin (GM): Team. No. Magic.
• 29:00
  Kayla (Evandria): Team. No. Magic. Wait. Yanks.
• 29:02
  Oh, sorry. She flicks that, which is 12.
• 29:10
  Justin (GM): That is
• 29:11
  Kayla (Evandria): So it doesn't not hit, but she has her second one on that ring finger, and so transitioning that over to her pointer finger, she's able to flick a second one shortly after, which is a 19.
• 29:25
  Justin (GM): It's a hit.
• 29:27
  Kayla (Evandria): So the 15 damage to the face of this zombie as it just
• 29:31
  Justin (GM): completely shears into the zombie's face at about the nose level. The zombie that you just hit now, not having anyone in its range to attack, is going to go after Eleanor. I got a 16 and a 24.
• 29:53
  Jamie (Eleanore): Both hit. You
• 29:57
  Justin (GM): take I rolled double ones. It got effective hits on you, but they weren't effective at hurting you. You take a total of eight damage. The other one is going to go and make its way to Bunky. It's taking its claws.
• 30:11
  It sees you as a small creature. It thinks, surely, I'll be able to. It doesn't think a lot, actually. It's going to just try and attack you as a small creature that it thinks it can go through quickly. It gets a 13 as its highest number.
• 30:25
  That hits. You get seven damage.
• 30:29
  Eric (Bunky): Bunkie rolls back and a reliable as ever, Evandria's glow up expands, illuminating the space more than it already was by the light that she attached to Bunky earlier, granting him four temporary hit points.
• 30:45
  Justin (GM): Mala, you're up. Mala would
• 30:47
  Evan (Mala): like to run for the Ouija board after Eleanor yells out that something magical is going on. But on the way there, we like to pull out the long sword and take a swinging strike at the zombie that an Evandria is engaged with. Son of a fucking bitch, a three One, two, three on my attack roll. So I got an eight.
• 31:08
  Justin (GM): You're you're pretty sure that these zombies don't have a lot of intelligence nor the can they talk. But is it is it laughing at you? Is it laughing at you?
• 31:21
  Evan (Mala): I feel embarrassed. Slap it. No no damage.
• 31:26
  Justin (GM): I just slap it. It's holding it's it's yeah. You slap it, it doesn't do any damage. What does
• 31:32
  Evan (Mala): what does Jar wanna do? And then I will command Jar by pointing and be like, please fix this and have it attack the one that a banter is engaged with. Oh, he can hit. That's an 18. Great.
• 31:44
  And it'll take eight fire damage.
• 31:47
  Justin (GM): It's looking pretty bad. Its arms are barely together. It's it's looking pretty rough as Jarre starts to claw at it, leaving streams of fire behind in its flesh.
• 31:59
  Evan (Mala): Get it, buddy. And then when I get to the Ouija board, I would like to interact with it, and I want to just move the planchette. Planchette. I I like to move the planchette and spell out, please stop.
• 32:11
  Justin (GM): You spell out, please stop. I think probably mumbling as you're spelling as so many of us do. And it immediately takes over as you finish that last p.
• 32:22
  Evan (Mala): I keep my hand on it when it takes over.
• 32:25
  Justin (GM): And it goes to f I n d m e f I n d m e f I n d m. Oh my god. We're setting to find him. We need to find Cassius. Bunkie.
• 32:38
  Jamie (Eleanore): So maybe Cassius will help us.
• 32:43
  Eric (Bunky): Bunkie's gonna position himself between and the tree of Andrea's and cast Blade Ward on himself. And so the light around him shimmers as some of his glitter poofs around him.
• 32:55
  Justin (GM): Pat in the dune buggy.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Alright. So who the hell's Raven? What the hell's going on? Raven's a new Eyes open. Eyes open.
• 33:01
  We're looking for people. Raven's a new camper. They said that they were they were a relative of Cassius. I don't really know what's What going
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: are you crying for? You took the questing ritual last year. Open it up. Let's go.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: This is so much. We didn't know.
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: We didn't know raising someone from the dead would be a big deal.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: We just thought we were gonna talk to him. We wanted to find out what happened to him. Christ.
• 33:21
  Nick (Pat): Where okay. Wait. Which direction? Where are we going?
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: They ran they ran towards
• 33:25
  Justin (GM): the and they point in the direction of the field. Rips the wheel, keeps going. You finally arrive at a different portion of the field than you had originally gotten to, and you see that in the you see two figures at the edge of the field. One of them is grabbing handfuls of the purple Forget Me Knots and ripping them out. They have a mask over their face, and their eyes are blank.
• 33:54
  They are not really registering. They don't seem to be aware of what's going on despite the fact that their body is frantically moving. Their face doesn't have any sort of determination on it. The other figure is a couple feet of way kind of crying and saying, please, please, just let me go. Let me go.
• 34:13
  Please. Please. I promise I'll do anything. And the figure turns its head sharply, jerkingly so, at almost a far angle, far more than what would be comfortable and says, wait here.
• 34:29
  Nick (Pat): Is the crying one, Kyle, that I would know from
• 34:31
  Evan (Mala): Yes. Camp?
• 34:31
  Nick (Pat): Great. And I don't recognize the other one.
• 34:33
  Justin (GM): No. The other one has short cropped black hair. It is just maybe just at chin length. They are like, all black leathers and a long black cape. Their hands are covered in dirt and and debris from the flowers as they kind of pour through as they rip out more and more of this plant.
• 34:55
  Nick (Pat): All right. Hey, goth kid. What's going on?
• 34:58
  Justin (GM): They turn their head towards you, immediately make a charisma saving throw. Four.
• 35:04
  Nick (Pat): I'm assuming that fails.
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 35:07
  Nick (Pat): Can I use my second win to use tactical mind?
• 35:11
  Justin (GM): Yes. That is
• 35:12
  Nick (Pat): what it 10 or would that Yes.
• 35:13
  Evan (Mala): Get me?
• 35:14
  Justin (GM): Yes. That will yes. If it
• 35:16
  Nick (Pat): does what it needs to do. It's a nine. Nine total? Yep.
• 35:20
  Justin (GM): That's you just need to beat an eight.
• 35:22
  Nick (Pat): Pat digs fucking deep and is like, no, no, not charmed again. Fuck off.
• 35:27
  Justin (GM): It is a frighten that kind of kind of originally comes over you that you were able to shrug off as this creature continues to dig while looking at you, completely able to control this body while looking at another direction. And it says, what are you doing here? Find me. Find me. Seem to have.
• 35:48
  Are you Raven? Find me.
• 35:50
  Nick (Pat): Find me. Pat walks walks forward and pulls out his crossbow. He's like, okay.
• 35:56
  Justin (GM): Sound. And it pushes away from the flowers and immediately grabs Kyle and holds it down and it pulls a knife from its pack and is holding Kyle hostage. Kyle starts crying.
• 36:10
  Nick (Pat): Sure. Of course. Kyle's. What the fuck? Okay.
• 36:15
  Okay. Put the crossbow down. What do you want? What do
• 36:17
  Justin (GM): you want, Raven? Find me. Find my body. Not Raven. The Kyle says, it's not Raven.
• 36:25
  It's it's Cassius.
• 36:26
  Nick (Pat): Okay. Where'd the where'd where'd where'd Raven go?
• 36:30
  Justin (GM): I have Raven. Raven is here. Okay. So where's Cassius? I'm Cassius.
• 36:35
  Jesus Christ. That has a zero intelligence. Kyle says, Raven's possessed. Raven's possessed, Pat.
• 36:42
  Nick (Pat): Yes, you fucking Kiles. You fucking Kiles. What happened to Cassius?
• 36:48
  Justin (GM): Raven's eyes look into the field of Forget Me Knots.
• 36:52
  Eric (Bunky): Oh, no.
• 36:53
  Justin (GM): Find me. Pat walks in. Pat walks in. Immediately give me a constitution saving throw.
• 37:05
  Nick (Pat): It's a 12 plus five at a 17. Doesn't beat it. I'm gonna use my second win for tactical. Yeah.
• 37:14
  Justin (GM): So that'll be a 21. 21 is going to beat it. Start making your way through a field field of these purple waving flowers, you feel that sense of lightness come over you again and are able to push it down, push it away, being more familiar with what to sense for. Now with your druthers about you Yep. What do you want to do now that you're in this field?
• 37:41
  Nick (Pat): I wanna pull out the long sword and start chopping my way macheteing my way through flowers.
• 37:47
  Justin (GM): Every time you chop through those flowers, a little bit of purple sap is left behind on your sword. Okay. As you just start chopping through these flowers.
• 38:00
  Nick (Pat): I'm looking for the body.
• 38:01
  Justin (GM): Give me a perception check. That's a three. You do not, at this moment, find the body.
• 38:09
  Jamie (Eleanore): Eleanor. Oh gosh.
• 38:13
  Nick (Pat): Oh, can I have been at that point very sorry before you go? Pat, as he's as he's chopping through looking for the body, gets was like, oh, shit. The Marvel. Fuck. Yeah.
• 38:24
  Thanks, Bunky. Hollers over the radio. He says, I think I know where the body is. It's over at the field of Andrea and Bunky. I'm doing my best, but maybe some more people.
• 38:35
  Raven's here. The other Kyle's here.
• 38:37
  Jamie (Eleanore): Eleanor does interpret the find me find me from the Ouija board as Cassie is saying, find me find me. And then after hearing Pat say what he just said over the warble marbles, she takes off after the the dune buggy tracks. And while she's running and looking for the dune buggy tracks, she is also, like, glancing around as she runs, looking to see if she does see any grave dust, which is a plant that grows at grave sites, just in case, because she doesn't know for sure that the body's there, just what Pat said. So that's something that she is actively looking out for as she is running along the dune buggy path.
• 39:25
  Justin (GM): Give me a perception check as you run along looking for these flowers.
• 39:30
  Jamie (Eleanore): I don't know if it get would give me advantage, but it is something that I've been growing.
• 39:35
  Justin (GM): Definitely gives you advantage. It's like a mossy flower. Think it doesn't have a lot of stem. It's like a gray color. It's more like a heather that it, like, is barely off the ground.
• 39:46
  Jamie (Eleanore): I got a nat 20, but I do have to take away two for exhaustion. So 18.
• 39:51
  Justin (GM): Great. You are booking it through. Normally, I think it would be difficult for someone to be running at the speed at which you are running and scanning for flowers at the same time. But as you are barreling along, you are following the tracks perfectly looking for these small gray flowers. You do not see any of them, but you do start to see these purple flowers that have knotted petals all up along their stem.
• 40:19
  With your extensive experience in the garden, you recognize them as forget me nots. They're fairly rare flowers, and you quickly come upon the same scene that Pat did with Raven holding the last Kyle hostage and Pat in a field of forget me nots, hacking away at them.
• 40:44
  Nick (Pat): Pat. Yeah. This sucks.
• 40:46
  Jamie (Eleanore): Do you know what's going on? These are forget me nots.
• 40:49
  Nick (Pat): Yeah. No kidding. I'm trying not to forget.
• 40:52
  Jamie (Eleanore): I don't really have anything that can help him, so maybe I just start screaming out things I know about him. So he doesn't forget. Yeah. You got a sword. You're very brave.
• 41:04
  Your parents own an REI.
• 41:07
  Kayla (Evandria): Avandria. From the tree, does she see anything?
• 41:13
  Justin (GM): You see everyone below you.
• 41:15
  Kayla (Evandria): But, like, can she see all the way to the field or not?
• 41:17
  Eric (Bunky): Yeah.
• 41:18
  Kayla (Evandria): Okay. So
• 41:20
  Justin (GM): Not, like, super distantly. I don't think you see people, but you can see the field.
• 41:25
  Kayla (Evandria): Okay. So as she hears hears the note of it's saying, find me. Find me. She stares into the pit and contemplates dropping in to find the body. Just as she does that, her warble marble rings, and she's luckily given the information that the body is most probably in the field.
• 41:53
  So as she starts to slide down the rope to drop into this pit, she, at the last second, uses the rope to pull herself to the side and instead, pulls out her hand axe from the very back of the belt that she has and instead just throws that as she is falling. Kind of like she's she's sideways in the air right now and she's able to throw with her right hand from below her body as she falls onto the ground and rolls the hand axe towards that zombie.
• 42:29
  Justin (GM): Go ahead.
• 42:29
  Kayla (Evandria): The last zombie that's There's two. Okay. Towards the one that yanks your braid is currently circling around. So that's a 15.
• 42:41
  Justin (GM): That was a hit.
• 42:42
  Kayla (Evandria): And that does six damage to that one.
• 42:45
  Justin (GM): You have a bigger hunter's mark on this one.
• 42:47
  Kayla (Evandria): Does 11 damage to that one. And then as she does that, she says, yanks, please. Hail of thorns.
• 42:57
  Justin (GM): He says, on it. And he grabs the needle from his side and begins piercing its neck as fast as he can, trying to make a little stitch pattern. He's seen some kids doing cross stitch today, and he thinks he could do it on its neck. I'll make a dexterity saving throw. I failed.
• 43:16
  Kayla (Evandria): Is anybody within five feet of this zombie currently?
• 43:19
  Justin (GM): We'll say they're both pretty close enough to take a hit.
• 43:23
  Kayla (Evandria): Would that include the hunter's mark as well? No. Okay. So that would just be six damage then.
• 43:33
  Justin (GM): Yanks your Braid starts darting between both of them as he uses the Hail of Thorns as he starts stabbing both of them as fast as he possibly can. They both take six damage.
• 43:46
  Kayla (Evandria): And I think that as he's doing that, she she's come to a role and come out of it because it does require her to also be casting of some sort magic for Yanks to be enacting what she wants done with the Hail of Thorns. And so so I think he kind of feels that as well as as that is happening.
• 44:10
  Eric (Bunky): I think
• 44:10
  Justin (GM): he is starting to glow a little bit as he is moving faster than he normally can. Whether he is aware that you are doing this is another story. Okay. Seeing that you have hit it with the hatchet, the zombie closest to you charges at you and just starts clawing at you with all of its force. All three attacks at you.
• 44:36
  Two of them hit one over 21 a crit. The other is a 11? No. Right. You take 11 damage total.
• 44:52
  Kayla (Evandria): So for that final hit that that zombie gave, she seems to take the hit, but her skin flashes flashes that bright white and then back to, like, almost a blacken as it just kind of heals over. And it looks like she didn't quite take as much as that slash might have originally been.
• 45:17
  Justin (GM): The rest of you see almost like a wild animal cornered. It is just ravaging at her with everything it has. It doesn't look super healthy, and so it is giving every last bit of energy it has to try and take her down with it. The other one will continue to attack Monkey. Last round, I forgot the end of three attacks.
• 45:42
  Every single one of them is above sixteen, and one of them is a crit.
• 45:49
  Eric (Bunky): I'm only resistant to poison. Necrotic's gonna do full.
• 45:52
  Justin (GM): Is that what you did for your Blade Ward?
• 45:54
  Eric (Bunky): Blade Ward, I have resistance against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing.
• 45:59
  Justin (GM): So two of these hits are slashing, one of them is necrotic. Bunky, you take eight slashing damage halved to four Uh-huh. And six necrotic damage. Bunky's down. Bunky goes down.
• 46:18
  As the other zombie, also near the end of its life, just begins to tear into the craft that is Bunky. You see popsicle sticks flying off, glitter shooting everywhere as Bunkie goes unconscious. Alright. Mala, you were up.
• 46:41
  Evan (Mala): Hearing the popsicle sticks being ripped from Bunkie's body, Mala will will turn around, throw the sword over the back of his shoulder, and just start slow walking towards the zombie that's ripping him to shreds, and we'll point to Jar and say, light him up. And I will get the help action from him to go fight this zombie. That is a crit. Yeah. And I'm gonna divine smite this.
• 47:08
  Yeah.
• 47:09
  Nick (Pat): That's great.
• 47:09
  Evan (Mala): So I believe that's six d eight
• 47:12
  Justin (GM): plus two d six. Right? Mhmm.
• 47:16
  Evan (Mala): So that is seven slashing damage.
• 47:20
  Justin (GM): Oh, just seven slashing damage? And
• 47:25
  Evan (Mala): 28 radiant damage.
• 47:27
  Justin (GM): I mean, this thing is dead. So what does it look like?
• 47:30
  Evan (Mala): I think he'll drop the shield and just double hand like he's pulling a great sword out even though it's just a long sword. Switch to, like, the two handed property and just slam it down so much that the ground cracks beneath it as a wave of radiant energy, like, blasts out. And there's just this maybe foot crate foot deep crater in the ground as the body, like, splinters because it's dried and desiccated. Right? So the bones just splinter away.
• 47:56
  Justin (GM): It is absolutely decimated a where the sword cut down, there is a red hot char from the divine energy that you left behind as it is absolutely decimated.
• 48:10
  Evan (Mala): I'll turn to the next one and say, you're next.
• 48:13
  Justin (GM): Bunky, death saving throw. You have disadvantage.
• 48:24
  Eric (Bunky): Seven.
• 48:25
  Justin (GM): That is a fail. The you have always known Bunky to be a bright, brilliant craft, and his colors are muting quickly. The pinks and greens and blues are fading like they've been in the sun for weeks. The glue that's holding him together and magic is looking more and more like just glue. Pat.
• 48:57
  First things first, give me a constitution saving throw. That's a 12. That's a failure. Pat.
• 49:06
  Nick (Pat): Throw inspiration because I'm a human. Okay. That is worse. It's 11.
• 49:12
  Justin (GM): Eleanor, you see as Pat is swinging through these forget me nots, his sword coated in purple, ooze goes down.
• 49:22
  Jamie (Eleanore): You have a family. Your brother's here at camp. He's waiting for you to come back.
• 49:34
  Justin (GM): Find my body. He stabs Kyle.
• 49:38
  Jamie (Eleanore): I don't have time for this right now. Eleanor has her machete, she runs into the field and starts slashing.
• 49:45
  Justin (GM): You feel nothing.
• 49:48
  Jamie (Eleanore): And Faye.
• 49:50
  Justin (GM): You have no reaction to these forget me nots.
• 49:53
  Jamie (Eleanore): Hell yeah. I didn't know that?
• 49:55
  Justin (GM): You did not know that. This has never you've never been around a field of forget me nots. You have never this is a revelation for you. You.
• 50:08
  Jamie (Eleanore): Eleanor, she jumps in just ready to try and stand against this forgetting. And then she just stands there and she looks around and she closes her eyes. Eyes. Hell yeah. And she runs to grab Pat and pull him out.
• 50:30
  Justin (GM): Give me a perception check with advantage.
• 50:35
  Jamie (Eleanore): 16.
• 50:36
  Justin (GM): As you grab Pat, not but 20 feet away, you see a small patch of grave dust.
• 50:46
  Jamie (Eleanore): I grab Pat, I throw him over my back, and I hurry over to the grave dust, and I start moving it aside.
• 50:54
  Justin (GM): As you move it aside, there is a collection of bones just a few inches below the dirt.
• 51:02
  Jamie (Eleanore): Okay. I I start collecting them and I I I'm sure I have a bag on me. Can I assume that? I I pull a a bag that's connected to my quiver. I pull the bag and I start gathering the bones and putting them in there as carefully as I can.
• 51:21
  And is there anything else around the bones?
• 51:26
  Justin (GM): You see, like, decayed leather and a dagger underneath the woods. Because as you're underneath the soil, as you're kind of pushing across, it is clear that Cassius found his way somehow into this field and died here and just kind of slowly decayed in this field of forget me nots.
• 51:51
  Jamie (Eleanore): Ugh. Okay. So Eleanor has gathered the bones. She also goes ahead and gathers as much of the grave dust as she can because she knows that this plant can be brewed into a potion of resistance specifically for necrotic damage. So she's gathering all that too.
• 52:09
  She checks on Pat and then hauls everything out towards Raven and Kyle.

  Justin (GM): As you clear the field, Raven pushes the now bleeding. It looks like it was like a shallow wound. He is, of course, crying like it is a deep, deep cut.
• 52:30
  Jamie (Eleanore): Fucking dramatic. Classic Kyle's.
• 52:32
  Justin (GM): Especially in comparison to the wounds of some of your friends currently. He is going to be okay so long as he gets medical attention in the next few hours. Raven approaches you and a mist escapes from his mouth and ears and nose and floats out of the body as Raven collapses to the ground. And the mist doesn't take on any form, doesn't take on a visage of any sort. But you kind of inherently know that standing in front of you is the ghost of Cassius.
• 53:10
  Jamie (Eleanore): Do I feel any because Raven was kinda going crazy. Do I feel like Cassius is gonna try and hurt me?
• 53:19
  Justin (GM): I think you have possession of Cassius' mortal remains right now, and as such, have some degree of protection and maybe control over Cassius. Okay. It wants to be, like, finally laid to rest is the message that you are being given.
• 53:42
  Jamie (Eleanore): What happened to you?
• 53:44
  Justin (GM): I think when you ask this, you see a flashback to many, many summers ago. It's hard to tell exactly how long ago. The attire looks somewhat familiar, but you see a camper from Camp Do Anything wandering around the woods. Maybe they're on their questing ritual. Maybe they're just exploring, and they come across a small patch of forget me nots.
• 54:14
  Unaware of exactly what they are, they kneel down and grab the patch of Forget Me Nots and immediately come under the spell. The lackadaisical, almost distant stare appears over Cassius' eyes, the youthful gaze kind of becoming vacant as he wanders towards what you recognize as the field that you were just in, and he lays down. All of the Forget Me Nots begin to sway in synchronization as you see time begin to pass quickly as his body decays. Forget me, Knots are an incredibly powerful magical component, and when distilled, can be used in powerful spells to affect, like, a precise knife exactly what you want them to? Do you want to erase a bad memory?
• 55:18
  Do you want to forget a horrible event in your past? When left to the wild like this, completely exposed for a long period of time, the magic of the Forget Me Nots can run rampant and wreck havoc essentially on a person's historical timeline, making things fuzzy. People will remember you doing one thing. Another person will remember you doing another. Someone will remember you achieving an athletic feat.
• 55:52
  Another person will remember you not being athletic at all. And it dawns on you that that the reason no one knows what happened to Cassius is because Cassius died in a field of forget me nots. And what they did was disguise his death entirely. You feel the desire from the visage, the semblance of Cassius' spirit in front of you just want to be laid to rest and want to be actually remembered. Pivot back to Evandria who's still in combat.
• 56:34
  Kayla (Evandria): Immediately upon seeing Bunkie go down and you walking over to Bunkie's now partially torn body. She flies over screaming her in her classic battle cry fashion, Bunky, no, you fucks. And she is now so mad. So she immediately throws both of her hands onto Bunky, like, desperately trying to put the pieces back together and is attempting to cast healing hands and push any healing into Bunky, like, heating up her hands to heat the glue to attempt to remelt the hot glue and stick his little stick his little popsicle sticks back onto his body.
• 57:27
  Justin (GM): You hear Yangshu Ray go clear. Go ahead and roll cure wounds or your go ahead and roll your healing.
• 57:33
  Kayla (Evandria): Six.
• 57:35
  Justin (GM): You get six health back.
• 57:36
  Kayla (Evandria): After she has pushed whatever she can into Bunky and he seems to be coming around even slightly, she grabs him and darts back to her rope and quickly climbs back up it while holding on to Bunky in an attempt to give both of them a safe haven up in the tree.
• 58:00
  Justin (GM): Great. You are now safely out of reach of the last zombie. It has one option. It looks at the last remaining individual who's I'm already
• 58:09
  Evan (Mala): pointing at him ready for it.
• 58:11
  Nick (Pat): It is a duel.
• 58:12
  Justin (GM): It's too dumb to point back, so it's just going to charge at you. I rolled an eight, a two, and a 13. The 13 becomes an 18. Does not hit. My AC is 19.
• 58:27
  It is trying its hardest. It is on its last limb. Slapping them away. You might not have hit every round, but they are failing to hit you this round. The determination has hit.
• 58:37
  You are a new person in this in this moment, and we are back to you.
• 58:42
  Evan (Mala): I will command Jar to again and just light him up, you know, fire reason with the help action, and I will swing. That is a unnatural 20. That's another hit. And I will smite again with my last spell slot. Or five slashing and oh, sorry.
• 59:02
  That's nine. Five slash or sorry. Seven slashing and I think it's 16 radiant.
• 59:09
  Justin (GM): How do you wanna kill this one?
• 59:11
  Evan (Mala): I just wanna stab it through its chest and have the holy flame of the smite spread throughout its body and burn it to a crisp so there's not even bones left.
• 59:20
  Justin (GM): I think as you do this, Jar having assisted you flies up into the sky and just lets out a flare, letting particularly giving light to everyone in the area, even as far away as you are, Eleanor. You see that in the distance, you see Jar up in the air kind of letting out this solar flare of fire above you. As you have burnt this last one to a crisp, the smoke coming up from the pit itself starts to clear, and it looks like just a normal hole now. The smoke stops to stops coming up, and it begins to look just like a normal hole. And the Ouija piece, the planchette that was spelling out find me just ends in the middle back at the little sunburst at the bottom and goes inert.
• 1:00:21
  It's safe now, Evandria. Is Bunky doing okay?
• 1:00:24
  Kayla (Evandria): You did so good.
• 1:00:27
  Justin (GM): Bunky, are you are you back with us?
• 1:00:29
  Eric (Bunky): Bunky's eyes roll back and forth a little bit. The color is coming back into his pipe cleaners, but Bunky is struggling. I'm here. I thank you. I I I'm missing.
• 1:00:50
  I'm I'm missing. And Bunky just keeps repeating, I'm missing over and over again for a few minutes.
• 1:00:58
  Kayla (Evandria): I I'm missing? Bunky, would you you're here with me. And she drops down from the tree, still holding Bunky, and they both land on the ground in front of Mala.
• 1:01:10
  Evan (Mala): Let's meet up with the rest of the group. We can figure this out together. Yeah.
• 1:01:14
  Kayla (Evandria): Gotta find them.
• 1:01:21
  Jamie (Eleanore): Eleanor has the bag of bones, and she has Pat on her back, and she has Kyle there. Hey, help help Raven up, and you can can you help Raven back?
• 1:01:33
  Justin (GM): Yeah. I I think I can't as he grabs Raven and helps fix them up.
• 1:01:41
  Jamie (Eleanore): Okay. They start walking back. She sees the dune buggy and the two other Kiles. And she looks over her shoulder and sees Cassius still hovering there or what she knows to be Cassius still hovering there. And as he slowly starts to fade away, she thinks about how proud she is of herself for essentially being a big part of solving this mystery.
• 1:02:07
  She thinks about how she just found these forget me nots and she hopes that she's able to, maybe with the help of Wendell, manipulate these forget me nots to reverse what they normally do because she's not affected by them and maybe that'll shine a light on those missing memories that she's haunted by. She also thinks about her heritage and how she really wants to find out, you know, even if it doesn't have to do with the memories she's missing, just what happened to that entire generation of male centaurs from her eminence. And she thinks about even if she never finds out about that, she feels so confident and grateful and happy that she is helping Cassius and essentially his heritage. She's helping his family be at peace as well as Cassius. And she feels a warmth start in her chest and it spreads out all the way to her fingertips and her hoof tips.
• 1:03:13
  And she feels herself get stronger and become a level three rogue.
