came back from the swamp we're all covered in swamp goo um we went back to baldrick's house we were rolling a giant uh wooden egg it was wooden i believe i i recall it being some shade of brown twigs and brambles and things yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so we rolled in a giant egg into baldrick's house we said hello to our best friend crunch best boy um we found out that indeed the bit had come full circle and the wall between the forge and baldrick's home was knocked in objectively hilarious uh baldrick came out uh he generally was unhappy to see us but we were very happy to see him uh the egg hatched and uh it produced a beautiful beautiful baby dragon that zoran uh drew for us truly truly worthy of picasso you want to show the art thurston of uh what skelly did for good old gorgamonger to show off what she did yeah yeah yeah um okay one sec here let me uh let me sorry you're probably using this time to do others let me see oh oh no no i got it i got it i got it i got it i got it here

to hold him uh anyway sorry i got distracted uh and then uh a child threw eggs at baldrick's house the child then ascended to the next plane of existence uh uh then we got a letter a mysterious letter telling us to go somewhere in the i believe it was the it's one of the rich people pilasters um prince prince yes the prince um we got a note to meet a mysterious benefactor in that place uh we decided to go investigate uh kind of smelling that something was wrong uh rohua and baldrick split off to go to five guys to get a burger and fries um uh vena tanhauser and orin all went off to investigate uh our our mysterious benefactor uh we were unfortunately discovered by the mysterious benefactor because we are very good at our jobs uh we sat down and made small talk um he did not want to make small talk with us uh baldrick and rohua then came and joined us and then uh we were given a mission by uh the gold guy he was gold he was a representative of order uh rohua didn't like that and i'm really sorry about that buddy uh yeah that's the recap uh so he has new art so um yeah there's some there's some there's some art um describe him for me thurston yeah yeah so so this fellow the the chamberlain anathian is a perfect tight touched uh individual who has almost a golden skin with hexagonal irises and slicked back uh very almost platinum white hair they uh you know fancy sort of noble-ish attire a like pulled over uh turtleneck and um that was not where our session did end though you know what this guy looks like thurston what what it looks like he goes to the cloud district often his smug aura uh fills me with rage also he is like a character from path of exile which is if you actually saw how long his neck was it would be disturbing to see uh oh no he is a templar um but that's all being said uh there was something else odo where do we where did we end off last session yeah otherwise otherwise you're playing you fuck i'm shuffling my deck thurston so much has happened i got fucking married bro yeah let me give you uh let me give you a a reminder oh yeah the toilet stall noble was about to get fucking got all right i forgot about that guys i believe one of the last lines from our last session was a speaker making some comment about saving stewart little um we're max stewart big i think it was stewart medium yes it was very good um yes yes people are going to listen to this in sequential order going like dude guys you just had a session last time how'd you forget stuff uh we've had to skip a couple sessions because of scheduling issues it's been a bit yeah so so sorry if we didn't remember it you know by photograph please go easy on me my brain is made of soup and and odo got married so you know that that's a big thing that happened it wiped our memories you guys can remember it so we don't have to yeah the nostalgia odo in your walls i can't believe doug walker officiated it yeah it was really nice for him to come out uh the entire channel awesome crew uh you know it was it was just fantastic they even brought the m bison hat we even had it at kickassia um shall we move on yeah please do thank you i don't want to use the early 2000s let's keep going all right um so all of you have approached uh from the north uh to the south uh into this this the square um the apple cart square where they are um currently there are various members of the tyrant's guild there is a large um like almost like a 30 foot radius of like just people crowding the area some big some some some like medium some small creatures all sort of gaggling about with um different um basers from the tyrant's guild sort of forming a patrol there are menial undead like regular sort of rank and file um policing undead at the further ends of the area uh and you can see that there is this you know there's this poor uh this poor rat folk who is uh basically on the hanging block and there is a you know gold armored figure that has begun you know to to indicate that this individual was was responsible for uh maybe someone else's action at uh der gassanren house um which we'll remember from the end of our first adventure was uh was a site of a great fight where our players maybe did some stuff but it's all being blamed on this this poor toilet stall noble um and all of you can sort of see past the crowd up up on this elevated stone platform and then further elevated up um on basically like a wooden stand that has like the the the the you know hanging apparatus and gibbets and all that um is this individual i'll share this art again they are sort of a gold armored member of the tyrant's guild uh with a very ornate helmet sort of like dangling golden chains uh and they they seem to be like pacing around and giving a bit of a presentation on the stand um so what are you all doing as as this is going on they haven't quite hung hung poor poor stewart medium yet but yeah what do y'all want to do um i'm kind of wanting to duck in the crowd and see where this is going this might uh give us some good info about what's happened in the wake of the martinet's death i have a distinct feeling where it's going to go is to the end of a rope odo yes yes indeed and we'll we'll deal with that when we get there yeah how imminent is this hanging are they like seconds away or like they haven't fully put like a noose around this person yet they're they're sort of like pacing and proselytizing to the crowd uh could i quickly give a outset law to see if i can uh recognize this fellow or maybe anything that he is about you know everything everything i need to know about him effectively society just society not outside society this would this would be outside of law this is definitely more like a society style check well luckily it's the same role and i roll low uh it's 22 okay 22 is is enough to give you a little bit of information here not quite everything but not uh not not a complete wash um so you don't recognize the specific individual however you recognize based off of their their armor uh their actual i suppose rank um within the tyrant's guild and sort of what what role they play um you recognize them as an infilium um infiliums are a member of the tyrant's guild they're um provided to the tyrant's guild as um a tithe from the church of the baron um they act as advisors healers and supporters of regional leaders and in many cases um they'll they'll have like more more um sway and power where they are than even like the local martinet just because of the fervor in which they act um they also operate a little bit outside of the uh the tyrant's guild's regular hierarchy and are empowered to report issues uh like even up to the level of martinet to the the magnanimity which is the like leading body of the the tyrant's guild so they can kind of act as like almost like advisors but spies within the guild uh pope cop do they uh i guess adding on to that check are they in like our league or are they like leagues beyond it they are they are certainly people of varying skills and talents i.e they could like be any level basically okay so like you could find these guys that are like we could have beaten these guys up half a year ago but you could find guys like this who are like big bad booty daddies got it yeah um so real quick just to clarify uh so vena you were going to head into the crowd right yeah i'm gonna try to kind of keep my head down in the crowd and just listen to what's going on are you like stealthing or are you just trying to like act like you belong in the crowd um i'm going to kind of just act like i belong in the crowd you know i'm gonna take the hat off and stuff it into my coat and kind of throw the coat over my shoulder at an angle where the feathers are kind of kind of hidden in its bulk okay uh can you give me a um society check for that oh society not deception yeah you know what i'll give you deception if you're trying to sort of just downplay your own personal nature i'll give you deception here too thank you you're a very kind oh no that's not good what ah 31 31 absolutely okay so yeah you you start uh maneuvering your way inside and um yeah how close are you getting um close enough to here but not so close as to be spotted okay so like again given like big gaggle of people like maybe 20 feet away or so yeah something like that okay cool cool cool awesome oh yeah you're getting close all right um back to the the sort of the main group that i just want to make sure because you want to do that uh vena what about the rest of you i know uh baldrick you'd sort of done some analysis on this individual the rest of you are sort of hanging back what how are all of you approaching the situation um i think tanhauser is going to vanish from view and cast invisibility okay oh fuck he's casting the spell invisible uh and then i'm going to be approaching like trying to get essentially like onto the stage like that's where i'm going i want to find some way to get onto the stage okay uh so society would be a good option here because that's like kind of how you can navigate through crowds so yeah you can give me a society check here okay society that is a 19 but i am invisiblest yep yep yep okay cool cool cool cool yeah so uh you are going to uh make your way up that uh way you're you're having like you're you're able to move through it's just it's just getting like difficult because like there's this there's this like really big guy who's in your way and he's like oh don't do that and he kind of like looks over oh i thought there was someone dead there wasn't someone dead uh and you kind of like have to like sneak past him and sort of just just make your way closer uh all right so what about the rest of you um like baldrick oran and rahula i'll go last okay i'll i'll tell you what i'm gonna do i wrote to create according charge no uh good i'm going to look good so just real just as a general idea what what is the size of this gibbet what is how big is this platform all right well how about i give you something that will maybe help you out a bit more well okay oh apple cart square this is where they held the apple cart murderer yeah oh so it's just straight up and it's not like pressed up against a wall it's dead center in the in the capital yeah yep and and so um so just for our audio listeners i've loaded up the map here i have a bit of a like green template on here this just represents like people um so anyone in that green template on the map that is difficult terrain essentially uh as like there's people all around i've got tokens there just to sort of give it a visual flare but generally speaking like you can assume anything in that area has people sort of mulling about let me i'll tell you what someone else go before me because i need to think what the fuck i'm gonna do well then that leaves us with rahula if uh last rahula is gonna start moving into the crowd because i'm sensing we're gonna need to put a stop to this because we don't want somebody to get executed for our own misgivings also that's a fucking kill steal they're not gonna steal our glory oran will will uh will tug rahula back before he goes he goes rahula you remember the piece of paper that had our faces on it and the number of money and stuff for our capture well yeah of course you're very recognizable we me and you might want to stay back and if something does happen i can better help you get in there so for us we probably need to hang back a bit and let any kind of motions to tannhauser and volley and uh and baldrick you go we might want to stay back a bit me and you are quite easily identifiable they can mesh in a lot more so we probably need to hide behind there and oran will motion towards a tree uh that's a bit bottom left of us here on the battle map and like we could probably hide back there uh obviously with us our oran motions to his wooden arm and he motions that practically looks like a tree we could probably just blend in there and be back up and i can really easily get you in there if we need to you know that's a really good idea oran that's why you're the one who makes the tactical decisions always oran just nods not knowing if this is an out of character slight or not no he's he's he's being genuine he's like he he trusts you he trusts oran uh so i i'm sorry to like impose a decision on you but uh if you want uh no no no that's that's almost certainly smarter can hide behind uh the tree that's on the battle map there i'll no i'll just steal like a like a tablecloth off of uh one of the carts and cover myself up oh yes i'm just a very big grandma or can i uh as a nature check uh rip off a couple like like twigs and stuff for one the nearby bushes or trees and like kind of help us blend in a little bit fucking love the slapstick get like a vine wall and like throw it over me there's like there's like this intense music it's like some fucking you know drama movie like volley's trying to get through the crowd like invisible tan house just like trying to move through and this ogre's like knocking over and they're it's like we gotta get to the president before they get him and then you've got roan oran in the back we're like all right i'm gonna put this tree over you we need to cut pieces of this tree off to make you more tree you know what first i've got i'll do one better uh i would love to cast uh i'll wave his hands in the air uh and he just don't care yes like he just doesn't care uh and out of the the thin miasma of reality will make a magical set of shitty shitty leaves appear enough of negligible bulk to conceal whatever he can of himself and if not himself if it's gonna be too small to at least give it to oran and i'm gonna just i'm gonna use breasted digitation okay okay okay okay so fucking christ all right so like you're moving like over to this tree over here to like your let your immediate right yeah we're gonna we're gonna metal your solidus and stealth along the wall place yourself where you want to be in that tree okay so i want to go here or who i can hide in and to disguise myself i want to cast humanoid form which i got that sorry um twitch viewers the description of this way long practically to what is it lasts for 10 minutes uh but basically as i'm hiding behind the tree i transform myself to be a dwarf to look like a dwarf and stuff like with blonde hair big old blonde beard everything else and i look like i'm just tending to the trees like i belong here okay okay okay um okay so you're just like dwarf okay okay uh you know what let's get some skill checks like what skill check are you going to use to stay hidden uh rahua like i know you're prestidigitating but like what are you what skill are you using to uh if prestidigitation alone is not going to assist since it's not super convincing could i could i reason with you that i could use crafting to make use of this trees very real and non-negligible bulk to make up for the inconsistencies in this sham of a disguise okay okay what skill are you wanting like nature to sort of could i use crafting for that i mean if you let me use nature because i know more trees i'll let you use uh i'll let you use nature crafting here okay okay it's your choice dealer's choice here well i'll use i'll use nature i'm not feeling as confident do you spell wood to tree i got a 22 okay cool cool um and then um oh gosh orange so you're like you're you're sort of doing this are you um are you like also as you're like shifting form with your magic are you just like spending your time looking out in the crowd because you don't you don't have to spend as much time as say rahua does to disguise himself in there i i am keeping an eye on as much as i can on uh bali or arvina rather on vina and baldrick uh obviously can't see tanhauser anymore but i'm just like keeping an eye on the situation so if things do go wrong like buff rahua and send him in the battle and join the stuff activate so he's he uh orn is playing backup and just keeping an eye on things and if they need anything he's got all this utilitarian they can call back at him on so that's what orn is doing i'm the invisible man it's coming up uh give me give me a perception check then orn oh i'm so sorry yeah you're good you're good you're good oh i saw that natural one almost land what'd you get uh i got a 23 total okay 23 perfect perfect perfect perfect and then we'll come back to baldrick how are you sort of setting up for all of this baldrick baldrick i have an idea he is all right so what i'm gonna do is because i was originally thinking of trying to mingle in the crowd and get close and possibly destroy the scaffold uh that's not a great idea at this moment because of how this area is laid out uh and there are obviously lots of guards for for obvious effect so what i'm gonna do is i'm actually gonna duck to the side over here and hide behind these carts so i can think of a better plan while i'm not out in the fucking open okay so i will do a sneak give me a little stealth please uh uh hang on so let's make sure oh i gotta i had armored stealth i can why do i keep getting that fuck you go another eight we're at 25 so you can move yourself to where you want to be sort of along the edge there yeah so he's gonna like keep a low profile near these carts and put line of sight blockers in between him and these guys and as many of these as he can he's going to basically just keep a firm watch and i would like to if i may thurston uh this scaffold for hanging that is here yes is it just stone uh well there's like a stone like there's a storm stone platform you can kind of see it on the map that has small like stairways that go up it's it's just maybe about three feet elevated like it's fairly you know it's not not a massive uh leap right uh then on top of it is this like wooden scaffold on top of the stone platform here oh i can barely see that under the green yeah yeah but it's just underneath that's kind of where i thought it was in color elevated no it's not a couch here i could i can move the tokens over so you can get like a better there we go okay now i see it yeah yeah yeah so there's just this like wooden platform there let me see and i presume these walls surrounding us can i do an engineering to see if these walls are particularly well built yeah go go go ahead uh so so i should clarify like to to your side uh you're actually elevated like this is all like a stone walkway that oh we're in the air buildings yeah yeah yeah so this is okay so that changes that changes how this works entirely fuck yeah because there's like buildings underneath you you can kind of see them as you look over there's a bit of like a ledge there that goes up like again about three feet so like your chest and you can sort of peer over and see down on the tops of buildings lower those are pillars there are pillars that sort of rise up to like a sealed area above like again outside is is this vertical city right so up above you there's like another walkway as well gamers never look up uh hell i need to think as you're thinking yeah yeah yeah just come come back to me i need to throw it on your leaves oh thank you thank you it's like he starts just starts gluing shit to your face yeah i'll tell you what thurston can i like can i like fend off my turn for a moment or while i think of what else i should be doing here yeah i mean yeah you're you're in a good position i mean no one's like per per se like had like full actions right this is more like your setup so so we're kind of good with with the the setup of things um the only one who's kind of like still trying to get closer uh right now is tanhauser who um has like had some had a bit of a like scuffle getting through the crowd and around has got to a good point um but what happens at this point is you've all kind of like started started your setup and started moving in and splitting up um is that the the infilium takes a moment to pause on the stand and like gestures at uh stewart medium and like like clenches their fist and is making a proclamation and as they they make this proclamation there is this sound this sound that is like a a whale that reverberates despite the open nature of the square um and and like it has this like deep rumbling to it but also a crackle um and and yet it just kind of shakes everything it's like a cry of some kind um and as that happens baldrick you're in like enough of a position to see it the two um and you can kind of see it based on the on the pillar you sort of see around it to the edges the two skeleton guards to the east they end up hurtled towards the crowd but you tell as they're flying towards the crowd it's not their like regular bodies they've all been broken apart so their bones are just flying landing like you know chunks of bone and the armor they were sort of flying like they've been broken apart in a single solid hit um and that's when following up as the crowd turns and there's shocks and shouts something rushes out immediately after them like a comet that follows them um and you have have seen this thing somewhat before but you see what can only be described as an amalgam of elemental parts oh not this thing tunnels through the crowd um and it has barreled its way forward um and um since i've had you all uh secretly roll initiative anyways with all of your skill checks we're gonna dive right in um starting with this thing again um that begins to essentially push its way into the crowd uh indiscriminately just like crushing as it moves forward and as it does so um all of you can like specifically like tannhauser you get a view of this this large creature as it comes like and the way it moves is so unnatural it's and i should describe it a bit better for for audio listeners and for you it's it's this it's amalgam of like chunks of metal and stone that are held aloft by air and flickering embers and even bits of water it's it's a combination of every element so the way it moves is just this like roiling unnatural motion like at one point it looks like it's like a rock boulder moving over the next it's moving like liquid it constantly shifts and as this happens it just goes through a whole bunch of crowd members coming um like slithering up almost the the the stone embankment at the side of the the symbol of the first house that is the the like the the stone rise here it comes up the side right beside two of the undead and what it does is it unleashes a blast um a straight line of um electrical energy it's like a a lightning bolt that comes out but this lightning bolt is followed up and and surrounded by a torrent of wind and this smashes into both of these skeletons and several of the crowd people like at least a dozen or so and causes them to almost domino into one another and then the civilians strike some of them are just like flash incinerated in the moment and um that's it's go and then we're gonna hand over things to the next person in initiative which will be veena who i have to update the token for because i haven't updated the token hey thurston though yes so given that the amalgam just flash disintegrated uh about a dozen people in a straight line of lightning would those spaces no longer be considered difficult terrain not once we factor in everyone's about to be panicking and running in every which direction my dude well you know sometimes it takes a dreamer to dream a dream continue with your turn i'm very glad we had this uh all right um as yeah as jamie laughs the other room excellent veena you're up uh okie dokie so my feet that allows me to step into difficult terrain it doesn't let me ignore it correct uh it doesn't allow you to ignore it for everything but what it lets you do is like you could five foot step away from something say if it had like a reactive strike oh sorry attack of opportunity i'm gonna use remaster terms now i'm sorry eagle um if if you take like uh if something were to take an attack of opportunity you could like step through normally you can't step into difficult terrain so gotcha gotcha yeah uh that makes sense i'm going to yeah there's oh god there's a lot going on here yeah there is surprise surprise surprise everyone give a suggestion if our objective is to save the mouse guy um it's probably best to get in a position to save him or if that thing's here to kill him if you guys i can definitely get mouse guy to safety at max in like two turns i could probably get him to a safer position in one yeah you can two i can i can get him out of danger like completely even with this thing here uh but that would mean essentially like dipping out of the amalgamate fight um which i mean the tyrant's guard are gonna try taking him out for us we have a couple turns uh if there's any way to save the civilians that might be a good use of our time yeah i can save the rat yeah that's my issue go ahead sorry go ahead balder i i feel like everyone's gonna start like scattering here in a minute as soon as they can theoretically do something so we shouldn't worry too hard about that i don't think i'm not entirely sure what this thing is actually aiming at or attacking it just kind of came in hey folks yeah it's venus go no and i'm not saying i'm not saying that to to to downplay the the convo what i'm saying is is like this is a surprise thing so like you don't have real time to like okay stratum agize now that is true that is true um in that case this thing is killing civilians um i'm going to trust that if we kill this thing and it's been killing civilians we might get some leniency for the rat so i'm going to um this is difficult terrain so that's having my movement speed my movement speed 35 there's yeah uh i think you round so i think 20 so 20 well essentially every one of them counts as two basically right all right so i can get in melee range only you had caltrops just so true bestie i swear to god we're gonna fight like the god on the moon at the end of this campaign because also the everyone thinks the moon is where we're going uh we're gonna fight god on the moon and speaker's gonna pull out caltrop it's and walkers all over zero grab caltrops think about it all right um so yeah that's my first action second one oh god it's not looking at me i'm gonna attempt to i'm gonna attempt to tumble through okay um let's do our bestest here sure uh that's acrobatics oh not great uh a 25 doesn't make it does it sure does not you find yourself unable to find a good way to tumble through the amalgam of stone and fire and water and crackling electricity and also there's crowds people who are starting to panic and begin to run around you you kind of bounce back from it yeah i'm gonna hero point re-roll that um just because i think it's best for me to kind of get out of the crowd absolutely that's worse actually yeah okay all right so tumbling through this thing is not my option right now um i am instead going to um no i think making it flat-footed and repositioning is better than just kind of whacking it so i'm going to just one more time try to tumble through it cool uh third time's the charm right guys yeah there we go that's a 38 yeah that'll get through it i don't know will it are you sure about that thurston i think you will find it all right uh and yeah i'm gonna tumble through it uh and that will hopefully get it flat-footed for my friends to follow up cool all right so you have you've moved you've moved to the opposite side of it um it's hard to even suss out how this thing reacts to you um all right so with that some of the uh the the stationed abasers begin to to react here um they go on two and then one and then one of them comes up and um you know what attempts to uh to strike it the abaser comes up having drawn a long sword and takes a splash at the amount amalgamate creature and misses horribly um here i will i will i will i will reveal miss terribly and this thing is just sort of like you know looking down another one begins to like push their way through the crowd pushing pushing and that's like all their moves just to get up to this thing um and that's that uh one of the the pre-programmed skeletal soldiers begins a slow advance and stops the crowd and then that brings us to baldrick so baldrick you see all of this you see um it's hard it's hard to see some of your allies through the crowd but you kind of have a general idea placement except of course for uh for tannhauser who you have no idea where tannhauser is what indeed you've left me with so much i have oh i think i just heard the storm hit me fantastic um if you ever never have any idea you can always delay your turn or prepare an action or thing to do i don't know what to prepare is the is the thing like because i don't want to just start chucking bombs into the crowd because you know that is kind of bad bad for the reputation bad for life everything pursuit of happiness if you don't have anything you can always uh try to recall knowledge it maybe i mean it might be hard because you might need an arcana check but yeah about to say this looks funny thirst and would i be able to recall knowledge on this orb um your best bet is like nature nice i don't have that uh i have plus one in that so i mean i could make the terrain i could make this just like really weird i could start throwing smokesticks maybe that'll help disperse the crowd will that work there's if i start hurling smokesticks in the crowd will that go they're unpleasant to breathe i presume correct yeah you can already tell though that the crowd is starting to like bolt in different directions like once this thing came rootin tootin in like they're breaking up um in fact it's already kind of unsafe the way they're moving they'll they'll disperse it's just gonna be a take a bit for all these people to like stop running into each other and hitting each other and possibly doing damage to people in the area to try to lob it at the mouse guy i'm sorry if i met a gamer trying to backseat um no i was thinking that already anyway yeah like uh yeah i'm gonna i'm i was thinking about what i wanted to do here and honestly bombarding is not the choice here so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna quickly alchemy together a smokestick and i'm gonna draw and throw it hey because i didn't have any equipment prepared where are we tossing it to so let me see here this thing has a nine square effect radius correct or which one this a smokestick regular lesser burst is five feet uh so it's gonna be um it's basically gonna be like a two by this thing right yeah two by two just this uh yeah i think it's the radius of the burst so that would be this big right yeah oh this this big okay thank you because you said two by two and i'm like that's all right it depends where you throw it if you throw it in a square or intersection blah blah why would i be able to throw it in an intersection i've never been able to do that before you're cheating okay i'm gonna throw it there as best i can master's changing the rules on us i'm going to detonate okay okay uh let's see so it's only in the corner of my space can i throw it uh well it's got range increments right so you'll just take a penalty if you does it beyond your yeah yeah because it just says with a sharp twist of this item you instantly create a thick screen of opaque smoke and a burst centered on one corner of your space oh sorry yeah it's smokesticks yeah you you don't throw those ones do you you just put it on your space that's right so i'd spend my hero point on there to declare to see if you can yeah i'm not gonna do that because i want to save that for when i might have to actually hit something with attacks um uh honestly just put me at the end of the put me at the end of the turn list thirst and i can't do gonna delay okay delay for now yeah delaying because i uh i'm in i'm in a precarious position where i'm a bomber skilled alchemist and i can't i can't aoe so you could make a knowledge check see maybe if this amalgamate is immune to uh electric damage save me he already asked that because it's it's a nature check which he does not have nature based yeah oh well who is next i'm getting there it's gilbert all right it's an abaser who doesn't cause an explosion he moves and moves and moves that's their action terrific they scully who goes to the end of the crowd and then it is over to oren oren will look at uh rahua and uh you'll see him in his in his dwarf-y guise uh and he's just like i need to go and help everyone get the safety here go in and take this and he'll and he'll put his hand on rahua um and basically it's and he'll he'll chant his words of saying run and that's what feats the light makes with nature's gift take rapid flight and you'll cast haste on rahua and so now you have haste you get the quicken thing you can drag that quicken thing in the chat there on your token it'll buff you all up basically what that does you are able to you have an extra action now but you can only use that to stride which means you're going your full movement speed or you are able to strike normally you're not gonna be able to use that to like cast a spell or anything so that's you can do that so you have one free basically thing of movement or one three hit one free hit with that so that's how that works and for my final action since i'm by the tree i'm not like super covered i'll basically start motioning to everyone say uh try to yell very loudly just try to like convince everybody saying this way that's way that's safety everyone go this way and he's gonna start like motioning people trying to make himself as loud and i'm bombastic as possible try to direct all of the people to go north so he could like try to get people out of the battle zone and just try to help out wanna give me a diplomacy check for that i absolutely will yeah i have a plus one to diplomacy i love it so here we go that is a 18. yeah that's as good as i'm gonna get it uh i would have also accepted like you know rolling terribly like hey hey big guy get going get going uh but as you you do the the the northern most of the the crowd begins and you see like the large ogre fellow starts running away fire bad um as they sort of like rush off and that is the end of oran's turn because i took all three of my actions cool all right rahua you're up okay or will i'm sorry yeah oran i i'm playing oran will uh rahua will notice that he is now empowered and quickened thanks to oran's generosity and look back at his friend oh oh thank you very much friend you little did you know you took the words right out of my mouth but uh yeah and he'll thumbs up let me return the favor so to speak uh rahua will reach up his mechanical hand and oran if oran happens to be looking at rahua at that time would see the mechanisms in this amalgam mechanical arm begin to whirr and tick as silver threads seem to extend from very faintly in the light all of rahua's fingers to each member of the party save i think for veena actually i can uh what do you can remind me of this wait i can fix this i can use your full movement now once you stop it'll be a problem so take your full movement now because you have four actions so use that one movement again and as close as you can because you might want to help everyone you know that's a great idea i'm that actually it works out so well so everything still happens but now we're who is a little bit closer you you did you did kind of count the the difficult it hasn't gone away and it's still difficult of course yeah well let me just go back a square that's fine okay well now with that taken care of for who are reaching his hands up and you'll see a flash of light extend along these invisible lines the air traced each member of the party as a mirror image then flickers in and out in just a moment as for who will cast loose times arrow and now all members of the card party are now quickened wanna wait wait wait you wanna you wanna link that for me of course um up to six loose times arrows two actions all targets of the six creatures 30 feet duration until the end of your next turn you pluck the time stream like a bow pull one string back release and watch a creature fly all affected targets are quickened and they can use the extra action to only step or stride and quicken is pretty much what i did to uh rahula so everyone now gets a strike or thing but i have good news and bad news for this okay the good news is is that your your ability is awesome but you cannot target tan house oh because he's invisible because you can't see yeah oh unfortunate that's fine i i was also going to include a uh i'm going to include stuart middle on that one too oh okay stuart middle yeah i got i got you okay stuart mid that's an awesome spell though yeah it's uh yeah it's very good it's kind of like you know haste haste spread out um but only one one round so um all right cool cool cool is that it for you rahula uh that'll be it uh once again we have another skelly soldier walking up one of the tyrants guild starts like maneuvering their way through the crowd but holy crap are they taking their time through that uh at this point you can see that the infilium um begins to actually pull off the stage and starts to make their way away from everything tan hauser europe all righty then so i should be able to move to here no problems it's half of my speed even though it's difficult terrain oh yeah okay cool so that's one action yeah then what to do next i worry for the fate of stuart middle um i'm going to then uh whisper to stew is it an action to whisper um i mean you could like do it for free it's free okay yeah i'll just whisper comrade the revolution has come we're getting you out um and then i have a risky call to make here i can either do something to guarantee i get stuart middle out next turn or grab and start moving now which is less of a guarantee but could get him out of immediate danger so i think i'm gonna go with the guaranteed option okay uh uh so i'm going to cast on myself fly okay cool and and after saying step forward and that'll be my turn okay cool all right uh that'll bring us to more of our tyrants guild folks who will again sort of start like continuing down one of them will actually manage to be able to take a swing at this thing again missing terribly um another one is coming up man these guys are so good that will move they're so cool look at them die uh the one by vena uh is going to try to attack oh my god really good um they they are not hitting this thing at all um as they are just swinging into oblivion at it um this one over here comes down and also tries uh they have this thing surrounded they are all attacking they are like swords are being swung and nothing is happening uh baldrak it's the end uh right now would you like to uh to come out of your your delay yet or would you like to wait for this thing to go or dude oh the crowd's still here i can't do nothing i'm gonna reposition okay yeah i'm gonna reposition into the crowd continuing to be stealth as best i can let's see my move range is 20 so i can only move 10 because it's difficult should we go after the cop pope the the cope well he's coping and seething right now where is he anyway uh running off this might be our chance to uh i i don't have a city official i don't think we should geek them i think what we should probably be doing is like no maybe we could tail them as long as we get everyone else out because i don't know what the fuck this thing is doing i i would vote that that is not a fight we need to deal with right now and a bunch of dead turns guild members is on our side so honestly i would have vena leave get mouse guy and leave i'll tell you what i'm you know thinking about it no baldrick will shadow this person okay i will i will try to move through the crowd as best that i can well we wanted to oh no it's your turn i'm shutting down no no oh what's up i'm just pointing out that we've wanted to get rid of this amalgamate for a while right i mean yeah but we're not sure if we can i i'm not sure if we can kill it right now it comes and goes i have no idea what the purpose of this thing is and be honest with you uh if i'm being in character baldrick doesn't really fucking care he's got he's got bigger he's got bigger fish to fry namely the big gold one so i'm gonna move 20 feet like through the crowd if that's possible thurston and try oh yeah the tokens are like the the underlying tokens are just if you want to shout out that guy honestly going outside because the ring is all difficult terrain going whatever you can just go around the ring at full movement it would be way faster huh so go full three actions around yeah but i want to try not to attract any attention so i want to try to stealth through it if i mean there's a lot of chaos you could probably stealth through most of this stuff pretty easy not to mention i'll ask thurston if i can do that yeah i'll let you uh take two moves in the stealth test okay uh can so how do i how do i keep this here so i move there again i i'll just here i'll just drink you thank you okay and then i will stealth check and remember actually you get a free extra move too so if you want to oh do i go yeah because you're quick and so you can go to like oh all right well yeah then i'll move another yeah i'll move even closer actually put put me like behind these things rather than there if possible where was i you can move move yourself yeah you got actually you want to be like there okay yes please yeah what is the key to do that by the way uh i don't to make a waypoint yeah as you're dragging over uh you do oh no like if i'm doing this can i move yeah you just release you just when you do you just release it when you're doing it if you're doing the measuring tool oh i see i never knew i did that jesus because every time i tried to drag it never works yeah you just because it's a it's a mod we installed yeah when you drag your token it'll automatically measure for you that's a model we put in and if you do left control drag that's just you aiming to seeing how far away something is all right in that case i'm going to try and stealth now okay that's 29 that's better than my previous one too so it seems you are you are like being incredibly silent in the chaos of everything that is happening yeah i want to tail this fucking gold fucker whoever they are okay and we'll learn information by me okay uh that's the end of your go baldrick yeah i guess i mean i guess i'll end my turn well i'm gonna go with the uh the good old amalgamate the good old the good old amalgamate um so the amalgamate's gonna go and it is once again going to um do some do some work it's going to shoot out another one of its lines striking through the crowd from the edge uh hitting three members of the uh of of the tyrant's guild um so i am going to do a thing here real quick um and i am going to i think this will work one two that's a one failure two another's a critical failure third one's a critical failure failure well for podcast people one rolled a 21 second 13 uh third one 16 and for thurston you can see how much damage it did uh all you see is that this thing just incinerates three more of the abasers that were by it um then after it shoots out that a blast it um kind of reels back in front of the what like one of the ones by it and um basically like bores down on it with a combination of you know all the elements like it sort of pulls back and there's rocks and wind and electricity and fire and it all comes crashing down on the one in front of it oh oh a seven was a critical uh dealing yeah 44 points to the one in front of it and just ending it um and that's its go well you remember these guys suck vena you're up i guess they do so you just need this thing like unleash a another bolt of electricity through the crowd the crowd is now dissipating um fairly heavily uh but this point like you can tell it's still going to be difficult terrain in here but probably by the end of this round that'll that'll have ended as everyone sort of rushed off um but he's just like took out four of them with almost no effort as well as probably another half dozen people just incidentally from the bolt i'm gonna i'm gonna turn to the tyrant's guild guy next to me who is probably still reeling with grief from the loss of his beloved comrades i'm gonna lean and nudge him him with an elbow and go get a load of these guys i just saw all my friends just get eviscerated what the fuck you made would you look at that this is my first day of the job i just got initiated what the fuck well it it was leon s kennedy's first day on the job oh god no don't say kennedy um yeah oh wait i would have panache from last turn correct uh yeah because you did so here thank you going super saiyan um yeah i'm going to i'm just gonna try to hit this thing with a finisher to the best of my ability and just see where that gets me wheat see if um i'm too low level for this this fate um yeah let's get its ass uh okay i've got finisher checked excellent um oh deary me um i'm gonna hero point re-roll yeah yeah that seems very good idea please roll a critical flail uh oh i saw the 20. ha unfortunate but uh say la vie um roll damage dimaggio uh it was a respectable 20 points of damage and then it takes a small bit um and it takes a reaction against your attack oh terrific i love attack of returning attack um so i'll get you to click on your token where it says fortitude save and um oh my god we're about to get a statue oh my god and what's about to happen to chat and and our listeners once uh once vena clicks on that button and rolls that safe hey guys remember how i just got rid of the rotten condition watch this check this out turns into a statue i knew it oh cool this this is the ever clear bottle challenge okay so um the amalgamate has a special ability called calcification which is triggered if you ever um um if you damage it it uh can reduce the damage by 10 as long as it's from a physical source which it does here uh and then you have to make a fortitude save if you fail you're slowed one and if you critically fail you are petrified oh so cool the the venus statue um as you strike this thing with your weapon you feel something like arc over you and it like then you you realize like something is happening to your skin and you don't even have a moment to pull your blade back before you become this this beautiful statue that has like landed this expert blow um in in perfect space and time um but the venus statue is now a statue uh you you of course um lose your uh remaining you lose your life if you would like to know petrified is a condition um oh yes you would lose your penmash guys damn it thank you speak um uh you become an object with a bulk double your normal bulk um and you you have ac and hardness um if you the statue is destroyed you immediately die and your harness correct so if they do more than eight hp to you you you just straight up die no save good luck to go past go do we have any way of undoing that well who knows we'll find out um hey guys remember how i uh wasn't rotten for one session let's go sure i feel no fucking pity because you had two hero points at the beginning of this session and you use them both to reroll offensive things and sometimes you get what you deserve okay uh statue of vena the artist formerly known as vena ah excellent uh man i can't believe you're a rock and this is not bob just looks over and sees like oh god damn it we just fixed that oh this this this abacer is like makes a will save and it's like oh i'm gonna do it and does not do it does oh god does not do it oh god does not rolls a critical miss at a minus 19 that's a almost double critical miss um then decides it's the better part of the world starts backing off um i believe in this guy next to me i believe this is our leon scennedy uh orin you're up neat so yes didn't we have to do an entire arc just to get rid of the i kept saying leave the thing alone like let him die well well i'll see no no now zoran we have this new arc where we turn vena into an oriad so it's fine this is this it's like what's your backup character wouldn't see like a bard healer yeah we'll figure it out yeah i i got a bar you're a gargoyle i have a paper shredder for all your i've also also made a rogue uh i'm rocking it they are giving they are giving odo so many points it's like guys it's not gonna help right now my i had a plan already set up because i was gonna get my turn nice and ready and being petrified uh ruined all that so i have to think real fast and i'm trying to fill up air as i'm trying to debate what to do because now it is now so will you focus on thinking i'll do something funny uh hey chad i mean the audience i'm gonna address the audience the audience in the crowd that is surrounding this thing in the game itself uh who would like to buy this lovely statue you piece of yeah let's start auctioning up all right can you know can you believe thirst and hillman literally objectifying women god forbid women do anything right god forbid i've tried not to get canceled before gen con you could probably you could probably like find some i vonny can hold open the door now thanks for disabling female player thurston you fucking bastard yeah yeah yeah okay let's i'll go to bat for thurston once at this juncture he didn't make odo attack the guy that turns people into statues it's not technically her fault either because nobody turns you into a statue if you attack him yeah the problem was is that nobody could hit it i didn't know you would do that i don't know i didn't know you could fail yeah man thurston you just fail i'm gonna i'm gonna be like hi you know this is thurston and then you know it's me i'm zoran it's nice to meet you yeah did you know that he petrified or all thurston out of curiosity what is the what is the stone material that uh that odo was made out of now what what is vonny's stone material um it it looks like like almost like a salt-like stone like oh my god i could propose a question what what like for vena what you know anything from your hometown or something that would like do for it i don't know you got like sapphire or something you're made of now or oh don't do that i might be tempted we might be vena is now made of a hundred percent pure himalayan rock salt if you put her in the washing machine she'll just disappear i pay good money to sit in rooms with that okay never mind i am not going to be able to save unfortunately like i do not have any spell slots for greater restoration which would help with this uh i i should like point out as far as you're aware of attention once like vena turned into stone it's not like this thing is like based at her so you don't have to like worry that it's suddenly gonna be that oh yeah it's a worry you know you might turn yeah so um i could throw a bomb but for character wise oran's so focused on trying to get people through he he he probably noticed through the crowd maybe but he's like he looks at rahua and goes like i need you to help you help get vena out of here we have to leave there's no reason to be here anymore come this way and he's like still trying to ferry people trying to get the people out of here kind of go for it and he's noticing a lot of people probably aren't going as fast as he would like to uh so i want to pokeball gorgamonger out you know out of pet cash i got gorgamonger hatches yeah and go and i want to bring gorgamonger out to basically uh kind of be near kind of be near me in a way or so um yeah that works out just fine and um i'll basically use that as like an action to basically be like gorgamonger and then i want to command gorgamonger to be like like like like make sure like like i need you to scare all these people to get the hell out of here and um i said this is one action that's one action to command at least i should have two actions left no one's hurts and fly unfortunately is a touch spell wait i do have reach but i just spin an action can i use my one uh quickened action to be yelling for gorgamonger and all that no you you can't use quicken to like get an extra command action i'll suffer the bullshit yeah my bad no no no that would cause action economy problems for days that's a that's a narrative declaration if you would like to use one of your two points to do so i would love it for the for the hope of action economy i'll agree to that i'll negatively declare i'll agree i'll get all of that so you can take away all my stuff catch your pal make it work so do that uh and i want to i still can't see tanhäuser okay i'm going to reach spell and cast fly uh onto rahua oh good okay but it goes from touch the 30 feet and go whoa now uh now for rahua you now should be able to have fly i would put the thing on you but it's been awfully or basically you have a fly speed uh pretty much go for the air gaining a fly speed equal to its speed or 20 feet whichever is greater so whatever it is your greater speed uh you have you could fly so you don't have to worry about difficult terrain anymore oh very cool this is extremely helpful to what i was going to do and and since i would kind of rescinded the command stuff so that was my one action do that two actions do fly gorgamonger should still have one action now to do stuff and i want gorgamonger to intimidate the crowd just a huge roar because he's large size all this other stuff to try to push people north or add an exit that's safe for them to get out of here hoping to disperse the crowd to remove as much difficult terrain as possible okay yeah give me an intimidate check please awesome so gorgamonger will do that yeah and his intimidation is plus 10. it is being rolled uh i would like to spend my hero point on that because that's an 18. i would like that to be a bit more effective if that's okay absolutely yeah he had a little furball yeah that is a 29 just basically what they hear is just this humongous dragon war that just tries to disperse the crowd uh check give me your best way uh no he doesn't fucking wear you got one wah yeah what's wrong why don't you scream the only one wing in this situation is me oh yeah oh you're dead you can't even speak anymore you don't exist anymore vena just turned around and looked at the destruction of sodom and gomorrah and now she is a pillar of salt true and i i guess i i guess the crowd disperses and with that they've all gone separate ways they've they've moved mostly to the north some of like scattered about uh you can tell that there's no more difficult terrain to worry about here i i want to see where i'm at i didn't use it that's the end of oran's turn okay awesome hey morton oran this makes room for the skeletons to begin their their their continued advance these are the tales of the skeleton warriors i believe in the skeletons hey uh thurston if i put myself at the end of the list once do i stay there forever you stay there yeah okay yeah yeah once you move yourself like if you delay you you switch to where you are it's gilbert yeah oh okay now who can fly rohua is going to wave dash as far as he can using his full 25 feet of movement you can pass by enemies at this point you just go oh cool and sir so i'm gonna go 25 feet to here submarine what you said submarine go here no there's no submarine there's no sub my mover okay my skull is breaking you go to you are filled with full of bilge uh um can i object interaction to pick up statue vena oh my god what's your strength uh i'm jacked i'm swallow bro oh no i'm not i'm only strength 16. what the uh you are jacked you're pretty jacked but did you just call our player an object the fuck god these are the tales of the objectification warriors yes you can yes you can grab the statue representing the artist formerly known as vali named vena okay and i'm gonna use my final action due to quickened to leave yeah you could have quickened up and then you had two actions in a right yeah yeah you move i'm gonna drag okay what i appreciate about this is like there's baldrick being all stealthy and that fucking room on the tree man stops like running and like right in front of baldrick holding the statue oh yeah presumably it's like dragging on the ground like oh he's flying he's just oh never mind okay how high up are you yeah he's cool uh not much like 15 like probably yeah yeah i'd give you like an angle there you go are you wait so you're holding the statue above the ground i want to clarify this you're not i would use i would use that oh my god you're gonna give her two pig legs so there's some broken legs i narratively declare she is made of alabaster um no i'm gonna use the movement that i have to angle downwards so i can set her down gently okay okay okay and hopefully with the cards that are here there's this perfect statue like pointing a rapier between two stalls now excellent oh hey baldrick i didn't think you were going to be coming here today of course rawhu is the only one in this party that knows how to pick up women as we've established like seven or so episodes ago rawhua knows about sex she's a statue okay so pull her anhezor it's here now thank god that bit was terrible okay we're stuck in a mire let's be just be glad vick wasn't here true all right time to cinch this epic victory please spirit away the little man i'm going to grab stuart medium okay you're coming with me uh okay and now i'm gonna do the following so that was one action right yeah i'm gonna move then i'm gonna move wait no no no no no no no no no no now i'm going to time jump using the power of my quantum engine to pause time for two actions which i will then use to move actually my speed is 30 so i should be okay which i'm then going to use to move okay well i can't move off the board but i i can with my actions and i'm gonna fucking use time jump to get stuart medium on the floor below us and set him down uh okay and you just hear what's going on and then one second stuart medium is right here and then he's gone okay sorry one second it's doing a weird thing i have to refresh my foundry real quick for some reason it's like constantly zooming me in on a location and i don't know why okay and that will be the end of your go excellent excellent excellent uh grab stuart medium stuart medium is over there and deposited uh okay sec here in my frozen time only mice can move uh the well that's happening and a baser is going to try to make a will save oh uh they fail and they are booking it away oh my god oh now you you can stay here that did all this is a bit oh this is a bit oh that that one's dead uh this other one okay so they're all making will saves to see if they'll stick in the fight versus this thing oh that one does not so that no hope i'm out it's off the battlefield uh this one here this is this is the stan everybody this is the one who's gonna who's gonna make it still not enough uh okay and this one also like means to rush off so you see several of the basers there their spirit breaks they're not quite well trained uh baltric it's it's your go uh also you will no longer be quick actually no you should be 20 get back 20. i'm just gonna leave the field i'm gonna chase after the fuck oh he hasn't left yet i haven't i haven't moved them yet no they were kind of waiting to see what's happening there so okay well i'm going to flee the field and i'm going to chase after a fucker by just running okay if you want to go around it because it might be a wall uh as you're moving your token press space it'll like lock in that point then you can go around yeah there you go like make it all me point there you go yeah hey pal hey pal cool yeah i i i flee the field and i follow the gold gold finger okay hey vena yeah how's it going you know i'm just rocking out rock rock rock rock oh oh oh no um shatters you the the amalgamate turns its attention to you what yeah dude that what it was like uh could you uh just give me this i'm put i linked to fortitude save could you uh click on that fortitude button and make that save for me buddy oh okay that 20 yeah eat shit there's all right uh becomes hostile to my game master very good um does it does a critical success dispel other people's petrification no no no no but but uh the ground around um around you briefly becomes chilled but somehow you managed to steal yourself against whatever happened you don't see it manifest but there was like it was definitely trying to do something um and after that it like it seems to like thrash around momentarily before hurling a a blast of flame at you oh oh uh hitting you uh for this will be fire damage but uh it'll hit you for 21 fire damage oh um and then that's its go uh vena's turn do i get to do anything uh at the end of your turn vena you are no longer a statue but that's at the end of your turn yay oh thank god it's a temporary thing is ah the skeleton warriors advance and attack with their their outstretched glaives missing then we go to another member of the tyrant's guild who uh is now rushing off passing by you or fuck you uh another one of the skeletons advances up on the corpse and uh takes an attack um seeing if they can hit with their clave nope uh and then orin you're up as you i really wish i i had a narrative declaration at the time for uh when people were leaving because i really wanted the narrative to declare you're like it's like like come this way you're gonna leave also join the revolution and i'm handing out pamphlets yeah contact tenhouser at your local revolution center you know yeah should never stop the hustle truth be told before this fucking statue uh showed up i was going to waste my uh hero point on when i got up and like fled with the mouse i was going to just start spreading pamphlets everywhere so i imagine i imagine that shortly before that tenhouser was reaching into his pocket to pull out all these pamphlets then the amalgamate showed up and then he just had to slowly put them back on the upshot like we could like staple them divine i don't know why i keep screwing up your name i'm sorry odom my skull you're good i'm not a rock anymore i'm good i'm i'm i can still staple them davina that's fine that is true that's sure yeah that's a good idea oh you know why i just realized why i'm doing it it's fucking planet side the vanu so uh so what oran is going to do is seeing that all the people are gone and they no longer need to worry about the stuff he noticed um tanhouser has leaped over with the subject um knowing that baldrick has stealthed super well i'm gonna assume oran does not know where baldrick has gone um so oran's only logic now is to leave and make sure his friends are safe so oran is going to uh just kind of like pretty much just drop his guys of being a dwarf and he is going to then uh shapeshift or pretty much wild shape into a into a bird basically into like a merlin or whatever um and he'll take two actions for that and then for his final action that he will practically he fucking tugward ass look at my token ass all right he flaps over um it took no he's such a good boy it's like sorry i gotta have to look up the speed for chat and everyone watching because i think it's currently obscured i've changed the token to be tugbert what we will do is after i transform into a bird uh my speed will be 50 feet i'll put that thing there and something zoomed in on it and he will oh it tried it tried to do the spell of it and he will then move for his funnel action and trying to gain speed so i'm gonna go up at an angle try to gain like at least a good like 15 feet higher so that thing is kind of out of range for him actually i'm gonna go under i'm gonna go under the thing the overhang thing doesn't have like a pillar under it correct yeah no no like you can go underneath okay cool it's bailing off the edge yeah yeah they just head off the edge yeah yeah you can just drag us both off the edge we're gonna go under and try to see uh a flying mouse you know practically you try to follow that um but the plan for me is to basically go under it and try to have gorgamonger and in orange try to help rahua and and veena get down somehow you know because i don't want to go across that thing and be affected i'm gonna go under and try to get go and try to help out so that's my plan okay uh then one of the skelly bros is gonna come over as you enact that you know if veena was made at a sturdier material i think we could like throw her somewhere yeah like a rock thing no rocks are flimsy i was thinking steel if rahua just fucking yeeted her going you'll survive once he fucking dies after all this fucking trouble just fucking oh god throw off his eye i gotta go survive oh man who could have possibly seen this happening i do have catfall i might live uh can you use catfall while you're a rock i'm not a rock anymore i got better no we're suggesting you attack it again and become a rock oh oh right right yeah that would really help us out by uh um whose turn is it it's mine so so are we uh we fight this thing are we fucking dead ski that's a good question do we want to try and fight this thing that's clearly a too strong right now i mean i don't know if you guys left like tanhauser has jumped off the side you would be alone we're not in a good position to fight it leave molly's right with you please attack it with your mace please you know absolutely i'm gonna move up and attack it don't it's not smart but if you want to if you die what would seeing that seeing that vana just got turned into a fucking rock would rahua logic be like yes i wish to become a rock too absolutely turned into a rock on a reaction by the way i wish to become a rock um how long does fly last a minute minute oh uh i think it's maybe even 10 yeah yeah a while uh why last five minutes okay yeah sweet all right so uh uh rahua will look to the non-petrified vena uh and say oh good you're not dead anymore that's great uh do you trust me you know what rahua i definitely do i don't care i don't remember who grabs her and just cuts her off mid sentence and just jumps over the edge all right so it sounds to me like everyone is now departing the field uh leaving these skeletons and like the two remaining abasers who weren't in initiative and never moved um to try to fend off the amalgamate so all of you are like rushing away baldrick is is stealthing after this individual um and i think that's a perfect opportunity for us to take our first hooray yeah i'm looking forward for the uh news bulletin tomorrow that these uh three debasers and four skeletons successfully slew the amalgamate becoming heroes of time yeah that you decide if they won or not we'll see you here in a little bit we'll be right back please give us four hundred dollars and that is all the spoilers for the new remaster books awesome thurston thanks for thanks for breaking your nda for us i'm glad you're welcome you're welcome like ever since we turned the wizard in the remaster into a strength based class well people are not ready for the swole ezran that's coming i'm excited i want to cast fist you got you got actual gangnam style as a spell for the barn that's yeah that's a little bit crazy a little bit wacky god dude i fucking love gangnam style yeah now now as a as a spell you two can get a cantrip too and um it uses your ability modifier we're you know that's the one spell that still uses your ability modifier to damage so you you know gangnam style get on it oh no my roommate just messaged me he was going to the gym but he forgot they closed at four today and he took pre-workout oh no oh well well i guess we're going to the gym the night after the game's done rip him flex but of course we are back thurston yes a lot of stuff just happened yeah did it did um so we have a couple things i'm going to to start us off though as we return with baldrick um you have been chasing after this individual following them i want you to give me two tests here i want you to give me a stealth test and a society test as you kind of like trail this infilium um and the like two remaining abasers who are at their side hmm you know what thurston i think i will do that yeah okay please do you said self first uh whichever order you want i'm gonna kind of combine these for purposes of what happens and i love rolling middle of the pack that's a solid 28 okay cool cool for the stealth and then the society please hmm sus oh nice that's a 30 yeah so you're able to to keep pace uh relatively you know without problems staying sort of to the shadows and whatnot this this individual seems fairly um rushed like they're moving quickly um the abasers are struggling to keep up um you can tell that they're making their way out of the district they seem to be heading central um you can tell based on your society check that they're making their way towards one of the grand causeways the sort of like top of the collapsed grand causeway that would have connected the uh ponds pilaster which was the district you're in and and now the sinkhole uh would have connected it to to the you know princess pilaster so there so it seems like this infilium is making their way to the princess pilaster hmm curious yeah you can keep following like i'm just wanting like to give you that sort of update are you just gonna keep the tail on i i think i will i think i will firmly keep following this individual bodrick is confident enough in his abilities and he wants to try and get some information while we have the opportunity rather than let it slip by and be like oh well i guess never figured it out i'll follow them as far as i feasibly can go before it becomes too much of a hazard okay um yes good good good good good okay um give me a perception check as you're going about okay i will perceive perceive please that'll be uh 18. okay um so so within 18 uh as you're as you're following this individual you find that they are um taking twists and turns eventually they reach um the the causeway but as they're traveling along the causeway they take a sudden and abrupt turn off into uh one of these sort of side structures the grand causeways by the way are like these these massive like in some cases you know 50 foot wide bridges um but they have you know general structures every you know hundred or so feet um or you know 200 feet in some cases that allow you to access the underneath because there's like sprawling buildings all underneath these as well um cobblestone highway yeah and and this this uh infilium takes a step they they walk off the path briefly to go into one of these buildings it's difficult for you um your perception check doesn't allow you to catch this in time so i'll need you to do another stealth test if you intend to like follow them and stay kind of hidden i'll tell you what i will do that okay i'll just keep doing that all right roll and get a big number of 36 now give me one more perception check as you're like you're you're a shadow on these these folks um but you're trying to like keep your eyes up and about oh 20 24 that one winked at you don't don't you dare with me it did i'm done with that one we're through all right so you manage to to come up and um you know come up behind them i should say and as as you do you can see that this infilium has stopped briefly um to exchange words with a a beggar um then the infilium has sort of immediately like walked off uh you're trying not to attract attention to yourself this this beggar is sort of like an old toothless man who's holding out a cup um they're smiling uh but the one thing that that attracts your attention is that amongst all of this sort of beggars paraphernalia there is like a small brooch that they're wearing just along their their tattered robes in fact it looks like it's almost intentionally downplayed but the brooch catches your attention and it it's a brooch that is um one of the the sort of featureless faces of outset but this one has its eyes opened uh can you give me a society check i certainly can attempt i will throw that rock oh wow and i'll get you a 29 so you recognize this symbol uh with with the 29 um you recognize it as being the symbol of office of the one of the chamberlains of outside yeah specifically the chamberlain cantal uh yeah cantal and cantal is the the second chamberlain of the city not in athian um and as as this happens the the infilium breaks breaks off and as they do so you can tell that there's like a a sudden like influx of tyrants guild members that are starting to uh to to fill into the area almost like filtering in like they're set to come here um and these these include some of the like excoriatorges like the ones you saw in the basement of um of like they're these are like more of the elite troops who seem to be now uh taking up a position you can tell it's gonna get a bit harder if you want to take her at this point i'll tell you what thurston if i have the capacity to prepare ahead of time a couple smoke sticks and tail her may i do that oh yeah i'll i'll here what i'll get you to do is give me a stealth check this is this is going to be opposed by a perception dc now so terrific i'm keeping my eye on that hero point yep yep that's exactly why because i don't think i was going to be terribly good you're going to use the hair point here uh am i no because that's like a 50 chance it'll be better it could be worse damn i could have assurance that oh well uh no i'll i'll i'll stick with the 25 for now okay um so so with the 25 you can tell that like some of these excoriators that are picked that have joined the group are picking up on your your presence now um there's like glances back after a while um you can tell it's probably best to drop a smoke stick and like subtly walk down some alleys and get away from here yeah no good unless you want to have a confrontation with this individual that level eight now but i don't think this is a wise idea there's a lot of them what to do what to do is there any way i could throw down a smoke stick and continue to tail um you're guessing not like throwing down a smoke stick might just attract more attention to to your position it would kind of obfuscate the path you would take to f off but you're not going to be able to get closer by using yes you could always take a hostage thank you my friend but i don't think i should follow your rudimentary tactics but then you'll have a hostage though and cast coring charge it'll be i don't think i don't i don't think that's a wise choice given the situation because i i'm not noticed yet they're just kind of getting an inkling yes they're like it's kind of the some this car is following me a fair bit i'm in a car now confirm you are you're a car baldrick i'm in one i'm in one i'm driving us i'm driving a delorean playing shadow run now we're all fine yeah okay uh 5d6 sir 25 d6 yeah my my dice pool for stealth is quite high i didn't know we were playing orcs today let me get my bucket it uh it's a toffee what are you doing you know what i think just for everyone's sanity i'm going to give up on this one and i'm going to throw down a smokestick and i'm going to bail out yeah you you manage to to drop a smokestick and and sort of like retreat back um this will bring us uh back to to the other party members now who have um stewart medium with them did i out of curiosity did i happen to keep good reference for what that beggar looked like um yeah you'd have a like fairly fairly good good reference for them i'll look for that later continue on okay uh so the rest of you are uh sort of like having having flown underneath or escaped in a variety of manners uh you are now like on on sort of a a causeway away from the um the apple cart uh square uh that you were previously at it's very clear like the sounds of fighting have died down there's now sort of panicked rushes and move movement of regular city soldiery the menial undeads but but everyone's kind of giving y'all a wide berth at this point um and then yes you are all with um our our good friend uh stewart medium who is like like breathing heavily um i like tan hauser do you like drop the invisibility at any point like once you're kind of in the clear because this like this legit this of course bellow has no idea what's going on and as funny as it would be to torment him indefinitely i shall not i will drop the invisibility um once we land and we're like in a decent way away assuming there's not like tyrants guard they go oh yeah no no no no they they all seem to be sort of um sort of like having having having left the area there's no one of you know hostile note that you can see yeah shortly after you know orin flies down along with gorgamunker and then you have rahua who jumps over the edge just sort of all of you come together yeah do you have like a cool reveal to him when you're out of invisibility like yeah like a cool camera angle you're in the alleyway like it just fades over and see the glowing eyes or like how is it it's like a predator cloaking it like just goes off in segments for like revealing dan hauser in the dark alleyway oh oh oh oh my oh oh oh you were the one in the toilet stall what what oh sorry i thought you're about to go you're the one in the toilet stall pissing and sitting uh uh well um oh oh uh uh oh oh uh uh uh um and as he's like trying to like get like like some kind of understanding at this point i'll just assume like orin and gorgamunker as well as uh rahua and veena all all appear uh i'm so glad i left this poor guy in your guys capable hands yeah exactly oh there yep oh yeah that's right i did run out of there why did the tyrant's guild capture you did they pin the events of that night on you yeah yeah they did it wasn't good they said all those things you did i did and i was gonna get punished for it um but but but then the the the gold the gold the gold the gold the the infillium the bump up that they told me that that that they were just gonna they were gonna pardon me on the stage and then all that happened wait they were gonna pardon you while you were standing underneath the noose that's why they didn't put the thing on me clearly they were just telling you that to keep you pacified you can't trust a word out of these people's mouths oh oh you think they were gonna kill me for real almost certainly is the tyrant's guild known to pardon people at all that sounds like that would be a bold society question yeah yeah i'll rock society as i try to consider because it has occurred to me that the tyrant's guild could be attempting to butter up the populace by making a show of seeming it was so very nice i'll use my nanites fuck my brain uh 28 yeah you uh you strain uh thinking about it activating your internal nanites and as you do so you realize that is the exact type of thing that someone in the rank of an infillium might do um that sort of like 4d chess play that wouldn't be expected but could garner support and very much undermine uh ongoing revolutionary efforts how interesting uh as this happens you hear there you are there you are as as uh sir crunch uh begins walking down the street waving uh towards uh outset's greatest fucking detective um as well along with uh along with the architect uh adept uh marlene uh they they like they the two of them approach i heard there was all sorts of events happening i assumed you were involved i came right away do you just kind of always assume that were involved uh when it was that foul creature that i battled after your fall into pits i had to be sure marlene and and i i was and like like marlene sort of like looks up i was i was in the area and sir crunch appeared and uh we we decided to to join forces to find you oh well uh thank you very much uh is that is that elemental creature still here i must give it a good thwacking with my hammer once again uh we're on the the floor below now can i still hear them uh battling that no the the sounds have like have abated i think it's off again of course it has you must have given it to the old wham wham and like you can see see crotch like moving moving his like hammer but yes to have been there in such an epic duel no we ran like we ran away oh i i dueled it very epically yeah i i i kicked his ass i assume orrin gets cut off the office of venus says that yeah oh no we ran away like fucking cow i fought it greatly beat the shit out of it but you know we had to get our friends out of there safely so you know i had to had to oh i cut it some slack who's gonna cock his head down towards volley like very very clearly trying not to make a scene of it i i don't know about that big dog you might not want to lie to him who's volley fena oh shit sorry narrator yeah just like as she's like dusting the last of the the salt rock off her boots oh oh boy how well haha how well this is this is good because now people don't know i'm pardoned oh boy but but you said they weren't gonna pardon me so oh gosh where am i gonna go where am i gonna live where am i gonna poop well we do have a hostel that you could hold up at oh do you have any relevant skills oh well i'm i'm really good at accounting what's your job i i'm i'm really good at accounting we gotta get him a job at the leftist commune what what he can count all the times i say revolution in a day true oh i don't think anybody can come that high well i i i i i do i do finances up you know i worked up for for a little bit i worked at a at a printing press company and handled the creation and distributions of posters and documents and all sorts of things i i'm really good at managing these things excellent your skills are of incredible worth to our revolutionary movement huh okay tell me my friend uh and i put my hand on his shoulder are you willing to join a group of revolutionary criminals in the destruction of the tyrannical state that has kept you in shackles and bondage and threatens your life uh we don't have a bathroom there yes oh that sounds real nice actually my man's got one like marley like leans in like to tennis like we really could use the the help with the finances crunch tried tried it even for the smithy it's not going so well oh those numbers are just so wily you know they they keep changing every day it's like you know they want to add more take away who can who has the time to keep track of all those numbers well if you're uh you're a skilled accountant too given that evidently we are in need of one i suppose you would know how to oh how how is it that they say that this phrase bake the books yes oh oh so you're you're needing someone who can provide you with all sorts of tax related advice and and then assist in fraud yeah basically we do commit fraud a lot we're literal criminals and terrorists yes we are that my take is five percent of the fraud okay okay that was easy that could balloon to be quite a bit we should have negotiated or whatever hey guys good job five percent in a place to god if we could all have that in this terrible time so true too real too real too real hulky well then my comrade i must ask you what is your name tessin what was that tessin tessin well comrade tessin we shall happily hear you regale us with the story of your life and your adventures but beforehand we must briefly consider why is it that of all places the amalgamate came to your execution i don't know i i had never seen that thing before might be your fault but the amalgamate didn't follow us out of the city is it following us everywhere else what what can i uh the the the fire and lightning thing correct can i recall knowledge because i thought that when the party encountered dude he told them he encountered that kind of creature uh yeah no no no you would remember dude absolutely mentioned the amalgamate that it will look like in the area at least i would be so sure that it didn't follow us if you recall our diminutive friend did mention that such a creature ambushed him and his party out in the swamps it may very well have been looking for us perhaps so then maybe it's time for us to have a final confrontation with this monstrous beast and perhaps it may be to our advantage that it occurs in a public place how do you mean well right now the tyrant's guild is tirelessly seeking to mend its reputation to attempt to make right past wrongs it's a pathetic political ploy but among the dispossessed it could be quite potent however if we publicly are able to undo the thing behind this massacre a thing that very publicly was able to best then destroy tyrant's guild operatives well then we may be able to undercut the anti-revolutionary tendencies without even attacking them uh um uh if if i uh may may interrupt uh um mr tad hauser yes perhaps we should yes uh turn to um the house yes i agree let us depart and continue uh schemes oh i'm i'm so excited all right so with that are you all uh returning to uh uh to to baldrick's house the people's house the people's house the people's house the people's tenement the people's tenement it goes where's mr baldrick has it been 10 minutes yet i mean it's a big fucking city but yeah sure you can give me a survival absolutely let's see what you get i believe not not that not that good alack and alas i can um i want to hear a point but i also want to vouch that okay i can obviously turn to a bird word yep and and have you know eagle eye vision okay we're talking of city of a million people okay correct you guys can still pick that out okay let me bullshit god damn it okay okay okay okay yeah and uh i want to i want to re-roll can i potentially get a bonus uh i'll allow you to re-roll okay just don't worry roll okay just just give me yeah give me that sweet sweet on this nature oh that is a 33 instead of uh 23 last time okay okay um so yeah as as as you are you're you you you kind of do a fly about uh what are the like are the rest of you just waiting there or like are you all making your way back to to baldrick's uh estate i think that even if orrin is incapable of finding baldrick baldrick will naturally return back to his house unless there's other things like unless you know he gets like captured by aliens or something um and so i think returning to the house might be our surest bet um because baldrick doesn't like return within a set amount of time we can go out looking for him in force it's true you're welcome thirsty you're thirsty you all could hear that like don't worry everyone like baldrick's fine baldrick's fine don't worry about it oh man the drink stand was great i'm so glad they had the root beer that i like i'm so happy that tannhauser had time between saving a civilian who might have been okay at the end to go to fucking mutton king yeah we have successfully uh funking branded soda you got your own cup now you know like those bucky's cups which are like just huge and yeah now it's a mutton king kind of cup just big ass insulated mutton king okay um all right i'm missing them oh um okay so uh yeah so so uh i assume what happens is the rest of you make your way yeah back to back to the people's tenement as it is now known um and as you are making your way back to the people's tenement um or and you sort of fly do a fly around and you are able to find baldrick who i assume baldrick you're just like stealth in your way back home right if i'm still think how can you see me because he rolled really high on perception and has eagle vision yeah that's right wrecked i pet cash gorgamonger by the way okay so we don't have to deal with that um okay okay okay i didn't see your role perception at all i did survival to track you down yeah that's fine survival is the equivalent what fine how what is baldrick doing when i find him like are you like behind a barrel in a carbon box like the answer is rolling better at you at stealth fine you don't find baldrick and then you all go back to the people's tenement anyways unless baldrick out of spite erndale is going somewhere else i burnt frog ago baldrick's dead moves into his home squatters right foreign just like i get i get baldrick's bedroom yay no you see i'm doing so i'm doing another bit i wanted to do another bit here no no go with the bit yeah i'll follow uh but baldrick is going home but he is going to stealth past all the fucking squatters sitting outside of his house who can't unlock the door oh oh it's fine i can make actually that's actually not a problem because what happens is his crotch opens the door to the smithy no see i i sneak into his door and i bar it from the other side of the chair uh you were you were in the opposite direction so they are arriving before you do you're full of shit you know that you could use a narrative declaration for that yeah if you want to narratively declare that you're like fast stealth moving um and going to an opposite district or you know an opposite district i'm going to narratively declare that crunch gets cholera instead how about that well hold on if he if he he's getting cholera that implies there's a cholera outbreak and if i can't have famine you can't have cholera i didn't say you couldn't have famine i merely said it was a bad idea to do that this is a good idea we should all start eating lemons and limes just in case someone narratively declared vena you get scurvy all right fine i won't sneak back i've been cut off at the pass by thirst and so oren finds me god i know i'm i don't let anyone have any fun that's god forbid balder do anything i narratively declare he goes to go see oppenheimer oren go sees the barbie movie then we'll switch yeah basically as i find baldrick oren lets him know this is what where everyone's going i'm going to meet up and oh we're going to my house you say no we're going to cronch's house you don't have a house baldrick it's going to our house all right all right so so so baldrick is going to baldrick's house and the rest of you are going to cronch's that's the that's the mail okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay uh one sec change attempt oh he could preload so it's easier when he's pre-bloating yeah so i can do this welcome everyone to the people's tenement i hate you stop calling it that here's the wall call it a house call it a house or i'm going to start committing my hero points to hurting the party this is a threat i'll meet you halfway we're gonna call the people's the people's multi-level the people's duplex we'll we'll agree the people's duplex fine just don't call it a tenement all right that's just cronch's half all right after after so much time everyone thanks to to tell we have a map hell yeah baldrick is is going to briefly wave at all four of them sitting over there and in cronch's side of the house the hole in the wall oh hi baldrick you made it back good news we found a new friend and also we hired a new employee oh hi my name's tess and i'm i'm i'm doing books now oh good we are going to commit fraud no all right it's it's just called being diligent it's so true bestie all right that sounds fine to me you're going to keep all the sensitive documents over there and not over here if you let us put things over there all right you want to be more respectful of the uh rapidly delineating boundaries between these two buildings you can come oh and don't worry everyone urn bill designed half of this map you can come over here if you need it if you need something from me but you're not going to keep evil documents over here ones that could get me in trouble like bounce checks or anything like that okay you keep that over there i uh i have a head cannon to go off topic slightly i like to imagine the entire conversation baldrick is just laying bricks that covered the wall so it's like yeah yeah you can come over just mortar he's got that like he's got that like roach chalk that he's just like drawing a line with he's like this is my side that's your is the is the hole big enough for someone to fit through or is it like uh well yeah crunch blew it open remember okay i wanted to make sure square equivalent i i thought so i thought so i wanted to be sure though so i didn't have to do more renovating with my sheer bulk you do it you don't he you do any renovating you're gonna become part of the fixing i will make planks out of you tree boy i'm not a tree you are wood he's our friend damn he's a walking home depot including the tax fraud well now that you're here baldrick in our house we can begin discussions on my latest plan uh tanhauser i think you've made a stumble there what don't you mean our latest plan plan and then i will and then you hear the vine boom in the background takes off the mask it's the martinet roll initiative you make a fair point yes yes our latest plan but we hadn't all accepted it yet the latest plan sure i figured that this latest series of stunts from our dear friends in the tyrants guild exists mainly to bring positive attention to their oppressive reign in fact our new friend ten what's his name again it's it's in the chat tense and decent i'm sorry everyone about my beds about my shit our new friend terry here okay i don't spell it consistently either that makes it easier to commit the fraud that's a very good idea yeah now then our new friend why is everyone moving i'm listening i'm listening mr tanhauser don't worry about it goes the fridge takes out milk that's the other experiment the tyrants guild claim they were going to charge our newest companion with all of our crimes and then pardon them as a public facing show of goodwill it follows a pattern of benevolence from our glorious rulership so to that end i suggested a public display that would create no small amount of certainty that we are the champions of this pilaster and that the tyrants guild are not and that scheme is we are going to take that amalgamate we faced earlier and we are going to destroy it now that it has created this public massacre now that publicly the tyrants guild has been shown to be incapable of stopping it we will destroy it in a place that the pilaster uh we'll see well i don't see any particular reason that would be a that would be a bad idea but in this situation we also have a great number of other things to keep an attention to namely he's going to point towards the big hole in the wall maybe not bringing quite so many people back to this one place well this is our safe house baldrick until we begin investing in additional property which i do approve of this is that's right additional property like we were

farting that or put the you put a fly thing on you right cast fly again put it on you and then remove it i met garlic jr the code for context the podcast basically we use boundary and it has a bunch of effects i haven't updated to the newest stuff yet because i thought i was going through transition and all this other shit so i haven't updated stuff yet that might have fixed this but currently 10 hours token is has these clouds constantly coming out of them so it looks like he's constantly just farting out of his token or token so he's talking so yeah he's toking right now and i guess it's just broken and the effect stuck on him so uh man man really did just eat a pound of dry ice yeah i just tan hauser just sits immediately on baldrick's couch takes out his mong duplicate the actor for him and then put that down and see if that doesn't no put put farting tanhauser just use that for now there we go and you should have uh ownership of it if not oh i really wish i could see these but my computer will give me back my mango it's working okay sure there you go now that we've returned to reality baldrick's gonna point angrily at duhakus where the hell did you come from don't tell me there's a hole in the back um oh no thirst and exploded he got angry he got angry energized rahua sorry oh he's trying to fix for who is token he's constantly quickened i was like whatever rahua you're electric it's less distracting let's go i'm kayo can't remember teleport i'd like to everyone to know too i have this very nice kind of like oh man you're at this nice little like it's like damn dude dude like a acoustic guitar going it's all nice little bells or it's supposed to be like an adventure shop i couldn't find any other background music so i'm just imagining rahua is over there in the corner just like a lightning storm tanhouser's vaping too much orange chugging down experimental milk chunks and duhakus is like hi it's half a presses oran it's half a presses i'm never going to get the world record time face there's a like clattering of pots and pans and various sundry items as uh rahua was clearly rummaging in the kitchen and uh did not do well on a roll to rummage yeah yeah uh-huh yeah you gmon sound affected a bit too hard so now you're electric but i think someone asked uh the gargoyle a question yeah i was i was asking what how duhakus got in here because it's my knowledge there's no holes in the back of my house so if she made one there's going to be trouble oh no no no no no no no nothing so crunch just had a copy of the key made for me all right let's baldrick's going to immediately storm through the other side and go and grab crunch do hawkis don't worry welcome to go hey there welcome to crunch you're not supposed to go back the first time you have heard him raise his voice that loud clang you hear this like muffled clang through the through the door um there's a close there's a closed door uh you can hear the clanging is coming through the closed door clang clang uh he's gonna he's gonna push open the door immediately yep you push over the door the clanging gets louder clang clang clang he goes into the basement and he is going to shout once again crotch i love the soap opera thurston you want to cut to uh baldrick dragging crunch back into the other room yes oh oh oh oh i don't know how you're doing this with plate i'm very heavy oh oh oh oh he's got nearly declare roller skates on his feet we're having a meeting about this right now oh team meeting time i've always wanted to get your ass in here all right hi crunch he's eating cookies oh those are those are cyanide he lets uh gets gorgamonger chill out the fill up the room i can't put the token down if you don't mind just summons gorgamonger here you go buddy okay okay okay what's that uh i love the sims episode guys oh it's great it's great it's why it's why we needed this this map to exist um all right so we pokeball out the dragon thanks put him there put him there in the house comes in um um the the door to the shop opens after a clicking of keys marlene walks in oh hello get in here oh oh okay yank all right look this is this is not a secret place if you just keep making keys for the people who go here you should have to be with someone who knows where this is if everyone has the key it's not a secret let's let's just start laying that down straight away all right i i i know i know crunch yes and i know crunch too yes i know me too yes and he gave both of you a set of keys which you shouldn't have to my house well um um technically it's to the store pointing to giant hole but you you invited me you dragged me you dragged me here yeah and i i just have no understanding of personal spaces dog oil culture is very different about that my people spend all their time perched wherever they want well it's time to learn some culture about personal space the first one being yeah if this is a secret it can't be kept if people are coming willy-nilly oh oh okay tohakis is sort of like looking around confused oh yes oran yes oran yeah mr funny man what do you eat an apple i was having a bit that uh does oran know what an aneurysm is because i might wonder if you might see you want to give me a medicine yeah sure listen i've taken enough medicine i can avoid an aneurysm i got digitalis dude okay crow privately roll a two on the die for a 17. you uh baldrick's baldrick's suffering from just acute stress oran keeps eating his snacks with gorgamonger he's watching no i'll fucking do you hear me there's more crackling of like pots and pans from the kitchen as rahua is still going about just going over there to look at him just like walks over there stares at rahua walks back in front of the fireplace look it's good that we're working together on this i'll admit that but the problem comes in that if we're constantly coming and going from the same damn place with the same damn group of keys then people are going to start to notice it you need to keep without separate keys he's just gonna lean against the he's gonna lean against the fireplace the edge of it and just he's exhausted already i believe we would be best off attempting to find additional safe houses because while baldrick's home is indeed a public property it would be of great benefit for us not to have merely one safe house doharkis crunch anyone are there any other places that could also serve as decent secondary safe houses and you were abandoned what are you doing in there i think i from contents clues i think i know exactly what the fuck he's doing in there i think he started with thirst and he's a bit preoccupied uh rahua would you like to explain what you're doing now uh so rahua while he is instant transmission around the kitchen trying to do the best he can with what is available in the home uh has unsuccessfully and successfully accomplished what he set out to do the entire time which is for who will burst through the door possibly knocking baldrick to the side or slamming the door in his face i've been knocked to the side did somebody say food no did anyone did anyone say i was thinking it i'd like food i'm down for food what you're making rahua i don't know i just put all this shit in the pot of the stove and made it jesus christ what you see before you would be essentially a roast chicken some proper cooked vegetables all prepared fairly nicely and properly seasoned for once no raw chicken this time what are you holding a nice looking meal i don't know what this shit is yeah what does your apron say as you come out it says everybody wants to party with the cleric hell yeah brother oh i think i think we've made excellent progress on the discussions we should table break and have some food together and has anyone other than me talked about this stuff but i'll look at the chicken and i'll notice that it's not radioactive and so i'll take a piece i'll take a drumstick oh we shouldn't we we're not savages come eat at the table together we'll have to look into zoning to see what's even free or what can be made free uh well soon we'll have a second skyward base yeah and don't forget we need to kill the rock monster we have to eventually kill him yes but for now let's enjoy a moment of respite yes very well this is lovely so good to have you all back if you need to move your token in hold chef while you're dragging shift yeah hold shift to drag you let you monger out gorgamonger out in the open for visualization for podcast listeners uh basically baldrick's house uh he conveniently has multiple chairs for guests which is interesting and his home and now you motherfuckers just like built them out of the ruins of my wall we stole chairs from outside um so we're all now together all kind of like all at this table gorgamonger's just chilling out out in the living room because he doesn't need food and basically everyone's is all here enjoying a nice meal that we're who have made everyone's all together it's the it's the mouse noble vena duhakas baldrick oran uh what's-her-face and and uh i can't remember her name sorry marlene marlene and crunch all together orange seems to be beaming like he seems like you see like after a long while he's he's smiling because he's looking around everyone going like he's like yeah he seems very excited and as you all sit down to enjoy this meal there is a knock at baldrick's door oh shit we got another chair i don't know which one of us should go get that we're kind of in the middle of something i got it a chicken i swear to god if you get blown away in the instant you open that door look at the people okay uh yeah you look at the people there is a golden skeleton standing there oh oh this shit again i open the door it is holding out it explodes an envelope uh with it with a with a fine seal on it this envelope is different from one you previously saw um but it is like handing it out as though for you to accept it thank you very much uh how's how's golden boy doing as you you just are you taking it like you just take the envelope uh the gold the gold skeleton turns immediately and begins walking away okay goodbye baldrick where's your alcohol uh denatured alcohol is in the back let me go grab some methanol yay oh so we got an envelope oren's eating a oh no keep it on my bed oh no we got an

fine baldrick plonks down a rather ornate not ornate but like just well-made bottle that hears that has like a clear spirit in it in front of uh vena all right i'm gonna i'm gonna pour myself a glass because i was raised with manners you probably want to take that you probably want to take that in shots i like the sound of that i'm gonna down the hatch what does it taste like uh you ever you ever uh so ever clear it's it's it's it's very similar to ever clear with a distinct taste of uh fumes burning through your nose uh it tastes like a poison but it's not it's just uh let me let me check quickly check the uh the logic for it is it aqua fortis is that what it was oh my god no that's nitric acid i don't remember what it is it's it's whatever the alchemical uh name for like just straight
