• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Spencer, cheesekirds. Oh, we've got a lot to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: get to today. I don't know how long it's going
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to take, Ashley. So let's get right into the game.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Let's play the drop.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: a shadow on the wall.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Different, Phil, feel different. It's Phil Trivia. Baby, You're in
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the great game. Now, all great games terrifying.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: We have no idea what to expect. Phil specifically asked
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for five people here and said, don't snoop around the studio,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: so a lot of anticipation, Phil.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Let's get to it. Our story opens in the mountain
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: town of Bozeman, Montana, because once a humble hamlet of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: ski bums and college kids who like to fly fish,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: but now it's filled with more than its fair share
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of celebrities, tech bros and Texas X paths looking to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: live out there Dutton ranch fantasies on the outskirts of Yellowstone,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: each playing their own role and really mucking up the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: housing market. But more importantly to our story, Bozeman is
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: also home to Meat Eater HQ or every day outdoor
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: loving people come together to produce videos, podcasts, books, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: freeze dried stroganof all in the name of celebrating the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: pursuit of wild game and protecting the land that we
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: all used to do that. Yes, Spencer Newhart, why don't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you remind the audience what you do here at Meat
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Eater and just kind of give us a brief look
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: into a typical work day, specifically a trivia day when
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you're hosting trivia.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I host trivia, So on a typical trivia day, I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: wrapping up any loose ends for the script, and yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: then we show up here, prep the studio, which is
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: mostly just passing out whiteboards and markers and then usually
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: harassing count to see if he's going to make it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: or not. And then it takes about an hour to record,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and then Phil takes it away from there he does
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the rest. That's what a day of hosting trivia is.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Like, awesome, Spencer, want you to put that whitboard away.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna need it. Oh, I wouldn't take this
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: twenty sided Die. I want you to give that a
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: roll eighteen eighteen Spencer, Holy crap, you had a great
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: day of work today. Just the best trivia questions. You know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: people complain that question number ten was a fishing question,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: but you know they was still just really well crafted.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I'd say you had a great day, Brody, same thing.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: What do you do here? And what is a typical
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: day for Brodie Henderson looked like.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Typical that I write books with this guy named Steven Ronello.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: He's some people say he's a good writer. So I
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: write a lot and now I'm doing a lot of
• 4:12

  Speaker 2: You've had better days. You woke up on the right
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: side of the bed, but it didn't last very long.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: He spilled some coffee on the front of your shirt.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Steve came back to you with a bunch of revisions
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: for the book that you didn't really agree with. But hey,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: he's the boss.
• 4:43

• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Same for you, uh, senior photographer here at Meat Eater.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I do a lot of product photography, shooting white background stuff,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: which is just, you know, super fun.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: There is no average day for me. Honestly, every day
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: is a little different.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I do trivia, I do uh all sorts of other
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: photo shoots.

• 5:34
  Speaker 2: rough week. U Karen asked you to film a podcast
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that you have nothing to do with. Really, it's Phil's job,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: but he was busy doing other stuff. There was a
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: ton of wind. Some of the cameras died, and you
• 5:45

• 5:48
  Speaker 2: back on time, and he just totally forgot. I still
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: don't have him him. By the way, it sounds like

  Speaker 2: last week for some reason. Cow same for you. Oh,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: this morning, I wrote an article on uh threat upcoming
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: threats to public lance. I responded to several other things
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I wrote last week that were heavily revised, and then
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I was reminded of a lot of other things that
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I partially finished last week and and didn't complete. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that's kind of average, really, right.
• 6:30

• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You accidentally some some raw meat the night before. It
• 6:41

• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and then you record the whole thing and then realize

  Speaker 2: you forgot to hit the record button. You need to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: do it all over again. This is this is real life.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Snort got so sick that I had to leave the

• 12:59
  Speaker 2: the playing Chester. Okay, Chester's allergic to fish.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he might have done it out of spite,

  Speaker 4: because he is allergic and he's always supplying people for
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: fish fresh.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Let's talk to Chester. I don't think Chester can lie either.

  Speaker 2: Lots of opportunity for good cops here. Yeah, Chester turns
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to Seth like looking for a life.

  Speaker 2: what's the occasion? Is the Spanish inquisition or what's going
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: on here?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Well, Clay, some fish has gone missing. That Chester says
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he put in the freezer. So we're just trying to
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: figure out where it went.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And it sounded like you were there when Check put
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: in the freezer and step go ahead and roll that die.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: You're gonna make a perception check for me. Ten. That's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: exactly what you needed. You Notice that Clay does a
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: quick side glance to Chester at the mention of the freezer.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Me and Chester helped Steve bring in his fish and
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: a couple other things, put him in the freezer and a.
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: Couple other things. What else is going in the freezer?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Listen, guys, I don't know what else to tell you.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, Chester can say we brought in the fish. Honestly,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I'm a little offended this is even happening right now.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I like to come into town and see you guys
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and not having a great time. To be honest, did
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: you happen to notice anybody else around the freezer? Col
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: go ahead and make an intimidation check. Fourteen play turns
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: to Chester. They look at you. Okay, I'm sorry, I
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: swear we didn't take any fish. But Steve told us
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: about some ice cream that was in the freezer that
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Dometic sent us as sort of like a promotional thing.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: He said he didn't want us to take it, but
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: it's ice cream. We took the gosh dar and ice cream. Okay,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I can show you. We can bring you
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: down there. I'll help you look for the fish. There's
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: real sweet tooths in those mouths too. Just Chester, Chester
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: looks incredibly shameful right now. Well, anyway, you guys, with
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the admission of the ice cream theft, Clay and Chester
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: bring you down to the freezer. Cal I would like
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: for you to make a perception check. Oh six, okay,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Well you don't notice everything, but one thing you absolutely
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: do notice is that your dog Snort, who you haven't
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: seen for a couple of hours because you were playing
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: trivia and working and she was kind of wandering around
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the office. You see her standing room by the freezer.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: The freezer door is open, and she her mouth is
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: just full of bags of food, crackers, freeze, dried meats, jerky.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: She looks at you, and she looks different. She looks
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: malnurish and kind of skinny, despite you just having seen
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: her a couple hours ago, and upon seeing you, she
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: immediately runs towards the freezer and jumps in.
• 18:10
  Speaker 11: We should follow her, should probably investigate.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, you'all congregate around the freezer and investigate.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And looking in, you see no sign of Snort. But
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: what you do see is a gaping hole at the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: bottom of the freezer, like kind of a faint teal
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: glow around the edges of the hole. It's about as
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: deep as the freezer and four feet wide.
• 18:31
  Speaker 10: Okay, well, I've canceled our reservation. We have to check
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: this out.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we should investigate the freezer portal for sure.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: So you guys are going to dive into the freezer, Yes,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: yes we are.
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: We're gonna throw something in and see what happens.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Oh that's a good idea, Brody. What would you like
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: to pick up and throw in.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: The fetuses that Krinn has freezer?
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: All right, take a pig fetus, throw it down. You're
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: kind of like a sound of just like friction, like
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: something is sliding, and it gets quieter and quieter and
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: quieter and then disappears.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I hope we should go get Steve and see if
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: he wants to take a ride down the portal.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Well, Steve took off for the day. Yeah, I mean,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: let's be honest, if that was in fact my dog,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I'd be going down. So you all gear up to
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: head just, you know, completely blind, into this hole that
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: appeared in to a freezer. Seems like a stupid thing
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: to do. But before you do, Clay stops. He says, well,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: hold on, it's dangerous to go alone, and then goes
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to the gun safe that's over there by the freezer
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and opens it up. You shouldn't go in unarmed. And
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: he opens the safe and you see kind of a
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: strange assortment of five different weapons. You see a traditional
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: recurve bow, a three to eight Winchester rifle, a massive
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: just like axe for cutting down trees, two skinning knives,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: a machete, and then next to the gun safe leaning
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: against it is the guitar signed by Co Wetzel that
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Co gave the chili. It's crazy. There are six things
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you can take and there's six of you. Wow, bizarre.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, should we figure out who takes what weapon then?
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: So if we decided we can't let Cal go alone
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: now and we're all going with him?
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Cal, you're probably the best traditional archery person
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: in here.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I would say I can't imagine that's the best weapon
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: for going into a whole. Cal's taking the bow.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: I want that big ass axe.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: There we go as the winner of the sig shooting
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: competition earlier this year, I should probably have the three
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: O eight since I'm the best shot in the group.
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: You know how to use a couple of skin in
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: there and the guitar.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: I can use a skinny knife, I know, I don't
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: I don't get Oh yeah.
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: Frankly, I don't feel like a safe person with any
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: of these options.
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: So maybe I'll take the guitar.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Play but you can play what what was your instrument?
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: You never know when something needs to.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: Thank you, Thank.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: You, skinny knives.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Phil has now distributed some pieces of paper that have
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: stats on them, so that goes along with the weapon.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: We chose everything I like. I put information on the sheet,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: only pertinent information. Frankly, about only a quarter of this
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: is anything. You're gonna use it. Don't be intimidated. I'm
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: gonna try to make this as easy as possible. You know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: after you, guys, I'll take these weapons. You look down
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: into the hole, give a salute to Clay and Chester,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: who are going to stay back. You know, someone's got
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: to guard the freezer. Yeah, and this ice cream is
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: not going to eat itself, so they hang back, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: you all take turns, heading feet first into this mysterious hole.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: And after sliding down a surprisingly smooth shoot of soil
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and loam for about twenty thirty feet, you can't help
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: but feel the air becoming thick with moisture, even as
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the fear of what may await you at the bottom
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: of the slide begins to take over. And then do
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: you land on an unexpectedly soft and foamy surface. Incomplete
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: and total darkness of everyone around here could make a
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: perception check for me. So you're going to roll the
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: twenty sided die the one that you've had the whole time.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: There is a stat listed in the blue highlighted section
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: that says perception. I would like you to add that
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: number to the die and tell me what you got.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: In the blue area.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I don't see intelligence, wisdom, charisma, constitution, dexterity, and strength
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: is what I have. Those are the main ones, and
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: then there are there's some smaller texts under there.
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: Oh in the wisdom, Yes.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Under wisdom percept five.
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: So what do we add that number to our number?
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yep, to their number you got on the die.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I have a fourteen plus five, so in nineteen whoa dang?
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: I have an eighteen plus one nineteen.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Sixteen plus three nineteen I have eight total Riva.
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: Four were not very perceptive.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: No, well, other than a thick humidity and a smell
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: of rotting fermenting vegetation, you have really no perception of
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: anything around you. I mean, you can't even get a
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: sense of the size of the space you're in. Is
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: there is essentially no reverberation of sound to give you
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: any sort of kind of subconscious echo location. The one
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: thing that you three notice is that you feel almost
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: a glow throughout your entire bodies, you know, like you
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: just chugged like a nitro cold brew, or like like
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: a five milligram gummy is just kicking in something like that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, what's that feel like?
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Or Mount knops a night perhaps, Oh yeah, that as well.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: But Brody, you notice on the ground there just a
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: very faint, pulsing purple light emanating from a tiny mushroom.
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: M Spencer, what kind of mushroom is that?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I have never seen a mushroom like that that pulsates.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I mean the closest thing would maybe be like a
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: fly at Garrick, but it doesn't look too much like
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a fly a Gerrick.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I bet Shelby, Oh eat it?
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: Uh no, actually, don't touch it. Spencer loves to touch
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: a mushroom he's investigating.
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: Don't touch that. I don't know what that is.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I would rather not touch it and maybe poke.
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: At it a little, not with your hand, maybe like
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: with your.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Rifle, just in case it gets sure.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: All right, you take your rifle and you give the
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: little mushroom a poke, and then, almost immediately, like a
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: ripple reverberating in a still pond, a wave of light
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: emanates from the small mushroom and hundreds of thousands, maybe
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: millions of mushrooms and fungal growths. A light in the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: space with an electric iridescence, bright at first, then dimming
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: down into a soft glow. But it's enough to light
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: this entire area that you're in. Okay, you stand inside
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: a massive cavern, maybe four hundred feet high. You can
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: see the ceiling because there's also fungal growths along the
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: ceiling that are lit up as well, But the space
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: is so expansive you can't see any sort of wall
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: in any cardinal direction. Your only sense of where to
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: go from here is a crudely cut trail right in
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: front of you that's carved through a section of this
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: fungal forest. Could this be what's having averse effects on
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: my dog?
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: Yeah, snored around?
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Have we call kay I? Why don't you give me
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: an investigation check with advantage? What that means is you
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: roll that twenty sided die twice and you take the
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: highest result that's twelve or five. Take twelve. You are
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: going to add your investigation score on there, which I
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: believe is under intelligence. If you can read, I can
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: bring the lights up well. Oddly enough, in both the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: intelligence and charisma categories. I have zero's across the board,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: so well, you know what, that's still enough. The number
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: on the die was the number on the die was
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: high enough. You only needed a twelve. All right, we'll
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: take it. You get down on your knees, and you notice.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I mean it's you can't mistake it for anything else.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Snorts tracks are right right down the stream.
• 26:49
  Speaker 12: We're gonna have to follow it.
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think we better go investigate.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: We should probably be strategic about who goes first, though,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: based on the weapons here.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying this is a serious situation because
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: this is abnormal behavior for that dog.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, maybe cal first or what then?
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: All right, dog called that a marching order spencer. You're
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: on it. I appreciate it. Col's in front, y'all had
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: in a single file line progress down the trail. Uh.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I mean you've never seen anything like this before. No,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: just an expanse of insane fungal grows and mushrooms that
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: some look familiar like a fla garrick or some sort
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: of morale looking thing, but others that look completely alien
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: with tendrils growing off of them kind of are drifting
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: in a completely breezeless and sort of there's no air
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: movement in this space. Whatsoever?
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: What's the Netflix show you like? Fill the that has
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the upside down in its stranger things? It feels like
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: that a Lotte.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: It kind of looks like it's not too dissimilar.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I'd say for the last of us, we got to
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: worry about effect us.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to find out. You know, even
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: though there's not a lot of sound in here, k
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: usually when they get close enough you hear you only
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: see just silhouettes of some animal you've never seen before.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Looks something like a bat with just a wingspan of
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: about seven or eight feet and a long tail like
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: a fox.
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: Dangerous.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Some of the fungal vines that are growing on these
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: trees recoil as you walk past, as if they can
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: sense that you're there and don't want any part of you.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: But after about twenty minutes of following the trail, you
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: hear a distant sound of rolling water, and several minutes
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: later you arrive at a cliff's edge, and the trail
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: ends here. But you can tell it didn't used to
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: because you can spot the remains of a rope bridge
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: hanging directly under you, and you can see posts at
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: the other side of this canyon. It's on the other
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: side of this cliff, as if the rope bridge was
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: attached there and was severed and fell towards your side
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: of the canyon. You also, you know, you notice the
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: source of the running water. There's a relatively fast moving
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: river that's running through the canyon and kind of curves
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: with the canyon in the direction of the trail across
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the canyon. And you also notice an overturned skiff down
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: on the shore of this river in the canyon, and
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: there's kind of an embankment about thirty forty feet off
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: to the side. If you wanted to get down there,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: you could. However, before you decide what to do about
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: this impasse, it would be nearly impossible to miss the
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: desecrated and mangled dead body about ten feet.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: To or left.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with your kids, I don't think
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: this is about the fish fillet is at this point.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, are we still looking for the.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Fish the fishing sort?
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and who's dead? Well, keep in mind too, if
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I'm leaving the pack and we just walk for twenty minutes.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: We're more than a mile underground. Seth and Brody, you
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: guys are good skiff folks. We're crossing this thing or what.
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: How many people we got?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we should look at that dead?
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: Are they too dead for healing?
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Word? At this point, they're dead dead. I can smell, Shelby.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Do you want to get closer and look?
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll get up there and like give them a
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: little nudge with the guitar.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I don't care about to make an investigation check and
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: if anyone would like to help her they love some help,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: then they can also roll. I'm not even gonna have
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: you add your modifier there, because that is plenty. On
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: A nineteen, you notice that he is almost chewed apart completely.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: All the fat and muscle from every single limb is
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: just I mean, it's just ripped off of his His
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: body's been probably dead for about two to three weeks,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: you'd guess. But even with his muscle mostly missing, you
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: still see a very large claw scratch across his back deep,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, just like probably went through bone as well.
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: Like that powerful guys, what could have done this? That's
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: a pretty crazy gah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe that creature that was flying around before maybe the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: intimidate or the fake snort we saw. Either way, I
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: don't think we should hang around, though.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Some things you do find though. He's got a pack
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: on him, or at least he used to. And in
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: that pack is a letter, Shelby. Do you want to
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: take that and read it out loud? Please?
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: Yes? I found something addressed to X. The more mort
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: Goth portal is compromise. The denizens of the material plane
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: must not discover this truth. Defend the causeway with whatever
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: magic you have at your disposal. I've been told you
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: have a way with fauna and flora. Do not disappoint
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: me again.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Woo okay, and.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Sort of mysterious missive And also with Zeth that incredibly
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: high investigation check that you helped Shelby with. You also
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: find two potions of healing. If you would like to
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: take any of these, you can spread them out as
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: you would like to. You find a potion of invulnerability,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: which makes you makes you take half damage from anything
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: for an app for one minute, so that doesn't seem
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: the time to use this, all right, And you pass
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the check high enough to notice that there is a
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: kind of nook in the stump of the tree that
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: this man died near as if you're trying to hide something,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: you see just like a little bit a piece of
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: parchment kind of sticking out, and you pull out a
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: scroll and it's just got it's got magic runes written
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: all over it. I mean, if you were still up
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in Bozeman, you would not be able to read this.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: But something about the air, sort of like lay line
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: magic that seems to be emanating in this space gives
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: you the ability to read this script. And this is
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: a magic scroll of remove curse, remove curse. And you
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: also find this cloak of billowing seth. You can read
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: that and tell me in anybody who wants it can
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: have it. While wearing this cloak, you can use a
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: bonus action to make it billow dramatically.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Wow, you better hold onto that one.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I mean you've picked this area clean.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: So now you stand at the edge of this cliff,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: a river unneath you, a boat on the shore, and
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: a broken rope bridge out of you. Reva, what do
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: Ooh, I was thinking we hook up a rope here, That's.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: What I was thinking.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: We could split up, send three across the rope and
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: three down to the boat.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good idea, very good.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Wow, it's a little more complicated than but yeah, your
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: guys call, what do you want to do?
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: It'll work for sure.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it all right? So who's who's going
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: to be firing? I mean, you've got the boat, I guess, yeah,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I will shoot an arrow across the chasm. I'm going
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: to attach your rope to the arrow and shoot it
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: across the chasm. Yes. Great. I want you to give
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: me something I've got much practice with. Yeah, I would
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: like you to give you just a straight dexterity checks.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Gonna roll the twenty sided die and add just the
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: big dexterity number that is not that's above all the
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: other ones care. That's twelve, and I get a plus two,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: So fourteen you only needed twelve. It hits kind of
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: the post that was holding up the rope bridge before
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: seems pretty sturdy. So who's going first.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I'll climb across brod. I'll use it for a zip line.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Tie at the end of the rope too, Like I
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: just kind of the stuff firm looking, Yeah, stuff where
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: the dead body is and it seems like a pretty
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: hot line. Who's crossing? I'll go first, all right, I'm
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: not even gonna make your roll, Brody. It's it's not
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: that tough. You hold on with both hands, you work
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: your way across, and you make it to the other side.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Got you guys all all gonna follow this way?
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: He made that look easy.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Someone's got to run the boat.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: What kind of down to It's kind of a beat
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: up looking skiff.
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: You can always go down afterwards.
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: I think maybe we should stick together at least until
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: we know what we're facing here. Yeah, I think we should,
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: you know we could. But also I think I might
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: be the only healer in the adventuring party, So maybe
• 35:15
  Speaker 10: I'll just stick with everybody.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe just a yeah, let's go across, all right, everyone
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: takes turns crossing the road. Yeah, good job, guys. You
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: make it over safe.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: That was easy.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I gave you you guys took the less obvious path,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: and you guys are.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: I was just worried that, you know, Snort wouldn't have
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: gone across that, so she might have gone.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: She's a swimming son of a gun, but she's.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Also a good jumper. Though. She could have cleared that
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: thing no problem, especially in this upside down world we're in.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: You make your way down the trail now that you're
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: reconnected to it, and you see a large growth of
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: these glowing mushrooms ahead of you in a massive clearing
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: my head, and atop them like a throne is a
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: massive black, humanoid looking house cat.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: It's picking its teeth the claw of one pot, and
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: it's in its other pots holding kind of like a
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: wriggling ball of leech like slugs all knotted together, kind
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: of pulsing in this weird lavender color. Yep. The next
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: thing you see is Snort sitting at the foot of
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: this throne with just a vacant, empty look in the eyes.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: You're gonna put an air between the things eyes.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: I think we get Spencer with the rifle to dispatch
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: that cat.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Well is that it looks like Set's cat. I don't
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: want to shoot Set's cat.
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: Thing doesn't know we're in there yet. Have we like
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: revealed ourselves? Has it found us?
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: It's interesting you say that because as soon as you
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: enter the clearing, cat makes icon act with Wow, was
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: it you who turned on the lights? I was trying
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: to have a little rest, and apparently that's not going
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: to happen today. Come on, let's get this over with.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Come in, come in, m all right.
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: We all file in, or at least I do to ca.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a safe sounding cat. I don't think
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: we need to kill it quite yet.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I'd put around in the chamber. Spencer's going first.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my finger is on the safe, but I haven't
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: taken it off safe yet. I'm crap all with this cat.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I knew when the beast referring to Snort returned
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: all panicked, I knew that something was a miss, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: so I was just waiting for this moment. Let me explain.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I was minding my own business up there where you
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: all we all live, when a dreadfully ugly man in
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: a cloak stole me away into the freezer, brought me
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: down here and said some gobbledy gook and cursed me
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: and turned me into this abomination and said that, you know,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: in exchange for supplying me with food down here, that
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: I would guard this trail and kill anything that tried
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: to pass. And he gave me the command, gave me
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: this this thing holds a little ball of leeches in
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: his hand, to command all of the yeah, freaky little
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: dudes down here, and after you know, several days of
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: him bringing me rotten fish, you know, birds with sharp
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: wings and dry mushrooms, I decided that, you know, ugly
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: man in the cloak looked rather tasty himself. Oh so
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: you know, it turns out that despite his poor taste
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: in mid day snacks, he was the only thing keeping
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: me from starving. You know, I decided to create a
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: new servant for myself after I you know, is he
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: still there?
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: Did you kill ex?
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Or?
• 38:45
  Speaker 11: What was his name?
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Xana told I don't know him. He didn't tell me.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I only heard from others.
• 38:52
  Speaker 11: Does this look familiar to you, mister Catman.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: The dead guy? I killed him and I hate him
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: and his face, of course. Yeah that's what cads do.
• 39:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it turns out he was quite useful
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: to me, but I had to eat something.
• 39:09
  Speaker 11: You see any fresh fish lately? Catman?
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Funny you should say that. Normally, this little ball
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: allows me to communicate with the things in this area.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: I've tried to reach out to, you know, humans like
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: you above, and it's never worked. But a couple of
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: days ago I was able to connect with this thing
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: pointing to snort. According to the Skinny Wizard, that wasn't
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: supposed to be possible. But this life form that I
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: connected with had somehow been marked by a creature of
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: this realm. And he points to you and turns out
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: that whatever scarred your pup was much more than just
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: a simple snake. I don't know how all this works.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I'm how new to this whole thing. I've only been
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: here for a few weeks. But now he's my servant.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry she she is my servant, and I'm not
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: giving her back. And you can't make m That fish
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: was delicious, by the way, And from this perspective, you
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: all look quite like mice. So what do you say?
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: We cut to the chase. She hisses, runs up a tree,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: and that's what we're going to do a quick transition.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: During that quick break, we had everyone rolled the dye
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: to see where they would go in the initiative order
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: of combat. Here, first to go is Brody Henderson. Brody,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: you've got a giant axe. You may move thirty feet.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Each one of these squares represents five feet, am I
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: right here? Down forward? Five fifteen thirty. How's that? Oh?
• 40:48
  Speaker 12: Look a strong?
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Good story. We're just sprinting towards each other maybe I
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: should have put you guys closer together. Oh well, you'll
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: you'll learn and you do better next time. The cat's
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: turn is next. He is going to hiss at you
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: once again and then run up this tree here. He's
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: not going to do anything. Was pretend he's on the tree.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: He's going to be watching. Yes, he's the cat is treed,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: and he's actually going to take an action right now.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: He's going to try to hide from you, which is
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: something you can do as well.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: He succeeds, so as far as you know, he went
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: behind that tree and disappeared un tell on the battlefield. Uh.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: But right before he ran into the tree, he squeezes
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: a little leech ball and these mushrooms it's kind of
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: sprouted out of the ground and it came to life.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Snort is also seemingly uh, your antagonist currently, but you
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: can see kind of a lavender glow in her eyes,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the same one emanating from that ball of leeches in
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the cat's hand. Try to get that ball leach.
• 41:49
  Speaker 11: Yes, and what did we do with that dispel curse? Scroll?
• 41:54
  Speaker 11: Is sprout cursed or a snort curse?
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: And maybe try to use it later if you want
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: to or not. It's up to you. Coming up next
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: is Spencer. You're up.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I want to run closer to the cat while also
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: trying to stay behind.
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: You don't know where the cat is.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Well, we saw behind the tree, towards the tree. We
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: want to go towards that tree.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you are here. You want to be as
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: close as you can.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I want to stay behind that tree too,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: So like, yeah, there we go.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Take out this is This is just for scale and perspective.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: If you guess you guys aren't actually sleeping or dead.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: You're standing and you look proud and brave. Spencer, you
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: have a long range hunting rifle, which means that you
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: like I'm like Brody, you can attack things.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: From Okay, I I would like to take aim at
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: that ball of leeches that has control of snort.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, First, because the cat is hiding, I need you
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: to make a perception check to see if you can
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: find the cat. If you do not, rolling Bubby seventeen,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: you do not find the cat. You see the cat, Yeah,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: he thinks he's being sneaky, but he's not. Okay, you're
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: better than he is. I will tell you right now.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: The cat's armor class, which is the number you have
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: to hit with your diet to hit the cat is
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: a twelve, pretty low because you're trying to shoot a
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: specific part of its body. I'm going to add three
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: to that, so you need to hit a fifteen. If
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: you look at your yellow box, you're gonna roll your
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: D twenty and there's a number next to that that
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: you add to.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: It plus four and it's a one, So five.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Five and a that one means you miss no matter what.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bad shot, You're all right.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Next up is the one of the mushrooms. Here. This
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: mushroom is gonna you can't move very fast, so he's
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: only going here.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, seth, you're up.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: So what do I do? You can move and you
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: can attack, and if you want to do anything else,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: it's ask me about it and I'll tell you if
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: you can or can't.
• 43:59
  Speaker 11: Those mush look pretty, uh, pretty dangerous.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I guess I just moved to him. Eh, sounds like
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: a plan.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: What's your weapons?
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's I don't think now is the time.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I do have some. I think I put a little
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: dagger in here, but we'll just keep going. You can
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: get probably about this close.
• 44:20
  Speaker 12: All right, that's getting pretty close to that.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I think you can throw those there, No, you.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Can, but you can't. They don't come back to you.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: So I mean you can go pull you know, you
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: can go recover it. Okay, So now what will I do?
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I'm just there. It turns basically over. Okay, it's all
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: you can do right now. Now it's the big old bosses,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: not the cat, but that mushroom with the sprout out
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: of its head, that is the leader of the mushroom pack.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: He is going to run towards so.
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: But I don't know if you can get close enough. Nope,
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: he's just gonna.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Hang out there. Okay, So now it is your turn.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Can I shoot that mushroom? You absolutely can? Which one
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: are you gonna aim for? Here? The one next is
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: closest to SETH one closer to SETH. Yeah, have about it.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: You need to go ahead and roll that the big one,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: the twenty sided die there, the red and blue one. Yep,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: and you are going to add a six to this roll.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Come on, here we go. Fourteen done. Now you're going
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: to take that other pointy die you have there that
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: is a D eight. It has eight sides on it.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: That's that is your damage. Die, you're going to roll
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: that and add a two. You just say d D
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: eight catching on pretty glad one one plus Let's see

  Speaker 2: It takes the hit.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Do we know how much health he has? No?
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: You do not?
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Coming up next gave him something to think about. That's right,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: coming up next to this little dude, charge towards set
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Oh god, I should have went a different and make
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: an attack against Seth. That is a fourteen seth.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: This is your armor class up here. You have a thirteen,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: which means this little guy hits you. But once you
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: know these little mushrooms aren't that strong, heels one damage.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Here are your hit points you currently have seventeen. Go
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: and erase that right of sixteen for me.
• 46:24

• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Aracer. I brought pencils, pass them down so I got
• 46:34

  Speaker 2: Okay, I will say, you have to be to get
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: proper aim with your rifle. You need to get some
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: distance on this cat. Otherwise you're gonna be rolling with disadvantage,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: which means you roll twice and take the lower number.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: If you move out of its attack, it may try
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: to swipe at you though.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, can I move to the other side of the
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: tree that we're around? Is that good enough or not? Uh?

• 51:17
  Speaker 2: can still take your action, so you can. You can
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: shoot at the cat now if you'd like.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going to finish off that big mush there. You
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: go about, let's do that.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, what happens here, go ahead and take take the show.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: D twenty twenty D twenty one. Spencer gave me this rifle.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Now it's gonna be this other big that's so bad.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe I hit someone in our party.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be that. This mushroom runs over to
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it runs over to Brody. It's that
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: big axe is freaking him out and he misses. So
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: now it is seths turn. So what's going on? With
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: these mushrooms. Now, one there, just pretend all of your
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: guys looks totally badass standing up and the mushrooms are
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: coming at you. All right, So what's the mushroom that's
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: hurt the most, the one with the stem. Yeah, you
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: can absolutely stab. You can actually stab it twice because you.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Are using SETH. Is gonna Julian the mushroom.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: I want to right at the base. All right, go
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: ahead and roll that that D twenty, the big one
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: you've been rolling. Can you double the amount of dice
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: you roll? So, but for a knife, isn't a lot
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: of dice, but you can attack twice. So you're gonna
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: roll this really quick, which is a D four D
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: four Yeah, that's right.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: So this is his damage he's doing.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: This is his damage he is doing, and he has
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: to double it only A one that's the tube plus two.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: That's four damage. And then you can attack again with
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: the D twenty, the big one. Roll that again again,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: and we're not going to add anything to this one.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: That's a two. It's two more damage. Okay, so that
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: is six damage. He is good. If he takes one
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: more good hit, he will be toast.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Speaking of toast, we should cook them though, once we
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: kill one of the absolutely.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So now it is the almost dead
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: mushrooms turn. He is kind of freaked out. I think
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: he's gonna try to run away from you. Guys. He
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: is surrounded on all sides, and so seth, you can
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: take an opportunity attack as he moves away from you
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: if you if you hit him, you could potentially kill
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: him if you roll a four, roll the D twenty first.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: See if you hit him six. I do not believe
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: you do. Nope, you miss. But he's still just the
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: Messroom's gonna run away as far as possible. Cal it's
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: your turn. Can I shoot that mushroom? Absolutely? Roll the
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: D twenty shit fire seven seven? Uh you still add
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: six to that roll because you've got a totally no, no,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: you've got the bow. Oh yeah, you add a six
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: so that that hits. You're gonna roll that D eight
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: and add two to it. You know, let's see four
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: six total. He had six hp left, goes through the
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: cap on his head and he falls limpless.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Can we cook that thing?
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: We got it one? Uh yeah, we'll put it in the.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: Cooler so his minions don't when the leader dies, his
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: minions don't die apparently.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Not No, but you are aware that the cat is
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: holding a weird looking ball a goop in its hands
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: that they have something to do with. I know, but
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: I felt like we had needed to follow through on
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: what we started. Honestly, I'm as smart as that mushroom
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: could have really messed you guys up. Okay, there we go.

  Speaker 10: could I do vicious mockery?
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Yes? Vicious mockery is a lot of fun, and basically
• 55:33

  Speaker 2: No, I can give you. Can I give Riva a
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: potion of invulnerability? Absolutely you can. You can drink that

• 56:55
  Speaker 2: your whole turn if you'd like to. You can. It
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: means you take half damage for the rest of the fight.

• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: the number. You succeed. You tried to. You see a
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: puff of spores come out of the mushroom. Oh, and
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: you hold your breath and turn your head, and you
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: do not inhale. Maybe it's time to billow your cloak dramatically.

• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: bonus action and do it.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 8: You got it.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: You throw on the cloak, and seemingly from out of nowhere,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: a magical gust of wind rolls behind you, whips the coat,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: makes a cracking noise, and this mushroom falls down prone. Yeah,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: knocked him out, Number one stunner. It's not dead. It's
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: just lying down, which means whoever attacks it next gets
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: advantage with a melee weapon. The radio life sounds again.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: I apologize that sounded that mushroom and distress cow. You're

  Speaker 2: to make a wisdom saving through. A saving throw is
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: a roll of the dyeing which someone is something or
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: someone is trying to protect itself. Save it, throw and
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: eye to save yourself. Okay, thirteen, it succeeds, Sam. Sorry,
