0:00
SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to another episode of Dad's Dungeon Dudes.
0:09
SPEAKER_00: It's Chris here,
0:11
SPEAKER_00: your DM for this adventure,
0:13
SPEAKER_00: as we continue to journey with our heroes through the verdant awakening.
0:17
SPEAKER_00: Now,
0:18
before we reveal any of the secrets that are hidden behind the
0:22
Chateau d'Atelier
0:23
SPEAKER_00: where Silas was making his beautiful glass structures,
0:28
SPEAKER_00: a quick reminder to all our listeners,
0:29
SPEAKER_00: we'd love to interact with you.
0:32
And so if you want to send us a link or a comment on one of our
0:37
podcasts or even an
0:38
SPEAKER_00: email,
0:39
we'd love to hear from you and even feature you on one of our
0:41
future episodes.
0:43
SPEAKER_00: But today,
0:43
SPEAKER_00: as we continue down this adventure,
0:46
SPEAKER_00: we have Around the Table playing with us...
0:50
Hugo playing Gabriel Brightwing Teddy playing Thornsley
0:53
Shadowscale Isaiah playing
0:55
Soldier Noah or vice versa Rhythm playing Ebony Claw Shadow
0:59
Tooth and I don't think
1:01
SPEAKER_03: I'm here Or am I?
1:04
SPEAKER_03: Vice versa
1:05
SPEAKER_00: Now, so our heroes are currently in level 4.
1:11
SPEAKER_00: They're level 4.
1:12
SPEAKER_00: They've been braving the beautiful and frozen heights of the jade spires.
1:17
And we learnt in the past that Silas the Glass Shaper was
1:20
driven by an overwhelming
1:22
SPEAKER_00: fear of change.
1:24
SPEAKER_00: Particularly at the blight.
1:25
SPEAKER_00: And so,
1:26
SPEAKER_00: he was freezing his entire forest into this flawless,
1:29
SPEAKER_00: unmoving jade glass to keep it what he considered to be in perfect shape.
1:36
Last week we entered Silas' circular glass dome studios called
1:41
the Shattered
1:42
Atelier and the battle quickly turned terrifying when Silas
1:46
used a legendary action
1:48
SPEAKER_00: to freeze all of our four heroes inside solid blocks of glass.
1:53
SPEAKER_00: But our team didn't panic.
1:56
Thornsley managed to transform into his tiger form and break
2:01
free from the glass
2:03
and then wild shaped in order to break through Gabriel's glass
2:09
block entirely.
2:11
SPEAKER_00: Free at last,
2:11
Gabriel lined up his heavy crossbow and unleashed a heavy bolt
2:16
with hail of thorns
2:18
Ebony closed the distance and deal-wielded his daggers to chip
2:22
away at Silas'
2:23
defences before ultimately unleashing his jaws to let out a
2:30
blistering steam of
2:31
acid breath that melted right through the glass shaper's
2:35
crystalline skin.
2:38
SPEAKER_03: No, that was Teddy with poison.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: Oh, with poison spray.
2:41
SPEAKER_03: No, acid.
2:42
SPEAKER_00: Now,
2:42
Silas then retaliated by ringing his thunderous shatterwave
2:47
chime against his
2:50
SPEAKER_00: shield,
2:51
SPEAKER_00: and the shockwave pushed our heroes back,
2:54
SPEAKER_00: ultimately sending Soldren almost flying off the platform.
2:59
SPEAKER_00: At the last moment, he actually rolled a natural 20 dexterity save,
3:03
Catched the edge of the ledge on the way down to the chasm and
3:10
pulled himself back
3:11
up and then finally cast a level 2 guiding bolt spell right
3:16
into Silas' chest,
3:18
SPEAKER_00: putting him into the bloodied condition.
3:21
SPEAKER_00: Finally,
3:21
SPEAKER_00: with one desperate push,
3:23
SPEAKER_00: Thornsley cast Gust of Wind and Spike Growth,
3:26
SPEAKER_00: and overwhelmed by the physical and magical onslaught,
3:30
SPEAKER_00: Silas was eventually driven completely off his platform,
3:33
and he tumbled down into the chasm where he was fatally impaled
3:38
on a jagged spike
3:39
SPEAKER_00: of his own creation.
3:41
SPEAKER_00: And that is where we join our game today.
3:46
SPEAKER_00: Now the moment Silas strikes the bottom of the chasm,
3:49
the grand crystal of his studio starts to vibrate and what
3:56
happens is that this
3:57
monumental shockwave of emerald light and warm untamed magical
4:02
air escapes from the
4:04
SPEAKER_00: chasm.
4:05
and it violently spreads across and as you look you see this
4:11
wave of stuff exiting
4:14
across the horizon and you can see through the windows of this
4:18
place that is in you
4:21
can see through the windows as this spreads out from the
4:24
central place and as you
4:26
watch the frost that has encapsulated this entire planet it
4:31
seems this whole world
4:33
SPEAKER_00: vaporizes
4:34
SPEAKER_00: As you look out of the studio windows,
4:37
SPEAKER_00: you see this ripple across the landscape as the cold,
4:41
SPEAKER_00: rigid,
4:41
jagged glass that envelop the trees melts away like spring snow
4:46
in the sunlight.
4:48
Then you hear thousands of tinkling little sounds echo through
4:52
the canyons as this
4:53
SPEAKER_00: spell completely dissolves
4:55
and as the glass melts into almost like a living water that
5:01
reveals underneath it
5:02
SPEAKER_00: the green beautiful summer pines,
5:05
SPEAKER_00: the rich soil,
5:06
the wild forest flowers and as the spell comes to completion an
5:11
eerie kind of
5:12
SPEAKER_00: silence echoes throughout the world.
5:17
A moment later you hear the sound of glorious birds and forest
5:21
animals chirping
5:22
through the warm summer breeze as real leaves replace the
5:27
frozen forest that was
5:28
SPEAKER_00: there before.
5:29
SPEAKER_00: And so the jade spires are saved.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: Now,
5:34
SPEAKER_00: as you turn back to the center of the studio,
5:36
SPEAKER_00: and as we revealed last week,
5:38
SPEAKER_00: as Silas dies,
5:39
SPEAKER_00: a mechanical clink clink clink sound starts echoing through the floor,
5:44
SPEAKER_00: and a heavy stone floor slides across the plate,
5:48
SPEAKER_00: and underneath you see a dark treasure room.
5:53
SPEAKER_00: Silas' central platform starts to rotate and slide away,
5:56
SPEAKER_00: and inside is a spiral staircase that leads into the secret room below.
6:03
SPEAKER_00: And that's where we find ourselves today So, what do you want to do?
6:09
SPEAKER_02: Well,
6:11
would all of us be able to take a long rest while checking for
6:18
any gold down there
6:19
SPEAKER_02: or anything?
6:20
SPEAKER_02: Well,
6:20
you can't do a long rest and be hunting for treasure at the
6:23
same time Let's do a
6:24
SPEAKER_02: long rest first
6:28
Yep so you can take a long rest here now first of all we need
6:32
to establish who is
6:33
the leader of today so I need to roll a d6 and then d4 d4 sorry
6:41
yes I'll roll a d4
6:43
and we shall see who so the control crystal ends up on
6:49
Gabriel's necklace this time
6:51
SPEAKER_00: around so that's a little bit exciting finally all right so
6:57
SPEAKER_00: I need for you, Gabriel, to roll me a D6 as you start to find...
7:03
SPEAKER_00: So you look for a little camp in the studio.
7:06
SPEAKER_00: Two.
7:07
SPEAKER_00: You find one in a corner.
7:09
And what this two represents is whether or not you're going to
7:13
have a successful
7:14
SPEAKER_00: rest without interruption or whether it's going to be broken.
7:18
SPEAKER_00: Your rest is going to be broken.
7:20
SPEAKER_02: Oh, but I already took it.
7:24
SPEAKER_00: So with a 2,
7:25
what happens is I will roll on my side and if I roll higher
7:30
than you then you are
7:31
SPEAKER_00: going to have an encounter Oh yes!
7:36
An encounter Would have been an encounter Well that could be
7:38
like a random creature
7:40
that sort of spawns or finds you resting and will break Like a
7:43
Beholder No,
7:45
SPEAKER_02: a Beholder No,
7:46
SPEAKER_02: Silas' corpse,
7:48
SPEAKER_00: the animated corpse And that will break your rest and so that's...
7:52
SPEAKER_02: So...
7:54
SPEAKER_01: I would take a long rest so...
7:56
Yeah well luckily for you I actually rolled a one and so that
8:01
doesn't matter so you
8:02
SPEAKER_00: actually successfully have a long rest
8:04
and you wake up refreshed in the morning and oddly for the
8:08
first time since you've
8:09
come into this world you actually hear the birds chirping in
8:13
the sky as you see the
8:14
sunrise rising across you know coming across the forest and you
8:21
wake up fully
8:22
refreshed now before you is the steps down the staircase into
8:28
the frozen vault or
8:29
SPEAKER_00: the secret vault or you can return back to
8:34
Dad's Dungeon Dudes Dad's Dungeon Dudes Dad's Dungeon Dudes
8:38
Dad's Dungeon Dudes
8:39
SPEAKER_02: Dad's Dungeon Dudes Dad's Dungeon
8:57
SPEAKER_02: Not so fast mister, then I poison spray him.
9:05
SPEAKER_02: Okay, you can do that if you want.
9:06
SPEAKER_02: You're not gonna do it.
9:07
SPEAKER_00: So roll and attack.
9:08
SPEAKER_02: That one plus two.
9:11
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so that doesn't actually work.
9:13
SPEAKER_00: And even as you tell him not to do that,
9:16
SPEAKER_00: you unleash your poison spray,
9:19
SPEAKER_00: which you completely miss,
9:20
and you burn down a poor little flower that was right next to
9:23
where Thornsley was
9:24
SPEAKER_00: standing.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so you descend into and down into the vault.
9:33
SPEAKER_01: Now, this is... Dad, just ready something in case we have a encounter.
9:38
SPEAKER_02: Okay, I will ready.
9:40
SPEAKER_02: I am loading my crossbow, by the way.
9:42
SPEAKER_00: Why don't you trust me?
9:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I trust you.
9:46
SPEAKER_02: I trust you.
9:46
SPEAKER_02: I do not.
9:48
SPEAKER_02: I trust Dad.
9:50
SPEAKER_01: I'm reading level 2 garlic vault.
9:52
SPEAKER_01: And I'm trusting Dad.
9:54
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
9:55
So,
9:56
you start descending down into the spiral staircase into what
10:02
is a dark place before you.
10:04
SPEAKER_03: Oh, and just before we get to the...
10:07
SPEAKER_03: Wait, is there a hole leading to the vault or is the bottom the vault?
10:11
SPEAKER_00: No, this is the staircase leading into effectively a cave.
10:15
Oh yeah,
10:16
and I'm going to say,
10:17
hey,
10:18
I thought this place was called the Jade Spies.
10:22
SPEAKER_02: It doesn't look so jade anymore, so I'm calling it the forest.
10:26
SPEAKER_00: Well,
10:26
SPEAKER_00: you're not actually entering into the forest,
10:28
SPEAKER_00: you're entering,
10:29
SPEAKER_00: as you enter,
10:30
you actually see a little sign above the staircase as you walk
10:34
down it called the
10:36
SPEAKER_00: Room of Floors.
10:37
SPEAKER_00: Now,
10:38
SPEAKER_00: as you step down and you continue walking down the steps,
10:41
SPEAKER_00: you know,
10:42
SPEAKER_00: step,
10:42
SPEAKER_00: step,
10:42
SPEAKER_00: step,
10:42
SPEAKER_00: step,
10:42
SPEAKER_00: step,
10:43
SPEAKER_00: you eventually reach the bottom of a,
10:46
SPEAKER_00: it's kind of like a little bunker.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: It is wrapped in this coarse,
10:51
unpolished granite walls and Silas clearly considered this
10:56
place to be a place that
10:58
SPEAKER_00: should be kept secret.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: He called it his room of floors.
11:02
Now in front of you you see shelves lining the walls and they
11:06
are stacked with all
11:08
SPEAKER_00: kinds of warped objects,
11:09
SPEAKER_00: things that are broken and imperfect in some way.
11:13
SPEAKER_00: There's bits of cracked pottery,
11:16
asymmetrical minerals that Silas hid away because they didn't
11:20
fit his definition of
11:21
SPEAKER_00: what perfect symmetry looked like.
11:23
And in the exact centre of the room,
11:26
there is a rough,
11:27
uncarved stone pedestal.
11:29
SPEAKER_00: So think of like a column you might see on a Roman temple.
11:33
SPEAKER_00: It's that kind of thing.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: And on top of that...
11:37
is something now it is lit by a radiant pulsing magical light
11:42
that almost breathes
11:44
like a heartbeat and sitting on top of it is a glowing green
11:49
crystal that curves a
11:52
bit like a handle I'm gonna touch it Isaiah I am gonna sprint
11:57
drive it and grab the
11:59
SPEAKER_01: crystal before anybody else never do that
12:02
SPEAKER_02: If you watched Indiana Jones, never do that.
12:05
Okay,
12:06
so I need for you to roll a d20 to see what,
12:09
yeah,
12:09
just to see what's up.
12:11
SPEAKER_02: Oh, we're going to do that.
12:12
SPEAKER_02: Could I get some of the gems?
12:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let's just see what he rolls.
12:16
SPEAKER_02: A 13.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so with a 13, you, um, yeah, that's fine.
12:23
So you run to the center and you're standing in front of the
12:27
thing,
12:28
in front of the pedestal.
12:30
SPEAKER_01: And then I'm like...
12:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so you rub, as you say, you rub your fingers together.
12:35
SPEAKER_00: Do you grab and pick this up?
12:37
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
12:38
SPEAKER_01: Because she would normally never say that.
12:42
Because...
12:45
You're the DM and you're the one who's clenching your fingers
12:49
together.
12:49
SPEAKER_01: Hey Hugo, shoot.
12:51
SPEAKER_01: No, wait, no.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to back away.
12:53
SPEAKER_01: Hey Hugo, shoot.
12:55
SPEAKER_01: It's a jam with your crossbow.
12:56
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
12:57
SPEAKER_02: First, can I get someone to jam?
12:59
SPEAKER_02: I'll shoot.
13:00
SPEAKER_00: Let's play this out first I'll shoot I'll shoot So what do you do?
13:04
I'm shooting it So you point your crossbow at the gem So roll
13:10
an attack roll for me
13:12
I have plus five Eighteen Okay so that hits So what happens is
13:18
that your crossbow
13:21
You point it directly at the emerald Soldren has wisely backed
13:25
away a few steps And
13:27
SPEAKER_00: your arrow whizzes past him
13:29
and it hits the Emerald Square in the center and the force of
13:34
your arrow bolt
13:35
pushes the Emerald off the pedestal and as it falls off the
13:41
pedestal a red light
13:43
replaces the green that was pulsing and a bolt of fire blasts
13:50
down onto the
13:51
SPEAKER_00: pedestal
13:52
SPEAKER_00: Thankfully, because of his wisdom, our cleric has avoided the damage.
13:58
Because whenever you want to pick up an item,
14:02
you never have said,
14:04
do you want to pick it up?
14:06
SPEAKER_00: No, perhaps.
14:07
SPEAKER_00: There's wisdom in how you listen.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: So, the trap that was set underneath this has missed you.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: So, Ebonyclaw, you wanted to say.
14:17
SPEAKER_03: Two things.
14:18
SPEAKER_03: Firstly, I'm going to grab what's the most valuable chris...
14:28
And Thornsley also wants to have a look around,
14:31
so maybe...
14:32
And number two,
14:33
I'm going to...
14:34
SPEAKER_03: I've got a classic... Run, crap, run!
14:39
SPEAKER_03: With the arm and wood thing.
14:43
SPEAKER_00: So you can do that, you can walk past as you explore the shelves.
14:48
SPEAKER_00: I need for you to roll an investigation check for me please.
14:53
SPEAKER_01: Both Thornsley and me.
14:56
SPEAKER_00: You can all roll an investigation check.
14:58
SPEAKER_00: That's fine.
14:58
SPEAKER_02: Investigation... Oh, I plus four.
15:02
SPEAKER_02: Fifteen.
15:03
SPEAKER_03: Four.
15:04
SPEAKER_02: Twelve.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: Ebony claw.
15:06
SPEAKER_03: 6,
15:07
SPEAKER_03: no 7 Ok,
15:09
so I need you Thornsleed to also please roll for me an Arcana
15:14
check Oh I'm good
15:15
with Arcana I'm still grabbing the egg He's got plus 6 in
15:19
Arcana if you rolled in
15:20
SPEAKER_02: Does anyone have inspiration?
15:22
SPEAKER_02: I should, but I don't Do you as I?
15:27
I've got Calculated Strike But that won't do it That won't work
15:30
in this case Ruben do you?
15:32
SPEAKER_02: No Ok, but it was an 8
15:36
SPEAKER_00: So with an eight, this is what you see in front of you.
15:40
So there are lots of little other kind of trinkets,
15:44
bits and pieces around.
15:46
SPEAKER_00: Some of them you think are magical or they certainly have runes on them,
15:50
SPEAKER_00: but you can't sense any magic on them.
15:55
SPEAKER_00: Ebonyclaw picks up the emerald and as he does so,
16:03
SPEAKER_00: all four of you feel a magical energy pulse from within you.
16:09
SPEAKER_00: You don't quite know what that means.
16:13
SPEAKER_00: Now, what you see hanging behind the pedestal is a wonderful painting.
16:19
SPEAKER_00: This is in fact the Mona Silas.
16:21
SPEAKER_01: Yes!
16:22
SPEAKER_01: Where do they go to Monas?
16:23
SPEAKER_01: Yes!
16:30
So you can loot that if you like I'm looting it because I'm the
16:38
closest So what you
16:40
are looting here some of this will go into your personal
16:43
inventory some of this
16:44
will go into your vault okay so this is a giant painting which
16:49
you can carry with
16:49
you you cannot keep it as a personal item but if you loot it
16:53
it'll go into your
16:56
SPEAKER_01: vault yes um can I um
17:00
SPEAKER_01: use to detect magic because everything like spell scrolls or... Sure.
17:05
SPEAKER_00: So do you want to cast that as a normal spell or as a ritual spell?
17:10
SPEAKER_01: Since...
17:12
SPEAKER_01: I'll use my daily use.
17:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah, sure.
17:16
SPEAKER_00: So, as...
17:17
SPEAKER_00: Describe for us what that looks like.
17:20
SPEAKER_01: Mmm...
17:22
SPEAKER_01: I'm aesthetic.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: Mmm...
17:25
SPEAKER_00: Okay,
17:26
so what you sense is that there are in fact three different
17:34
things that are magical
17:36
SPEAKER_00: in here.
17:37
The first sense of magic you get comes from a thing that is
17:43
like a U-shaped prong on a stick.
17:47
If you've ever seen a tuning fork that they use to tune pianos
17:53
or things like that
17:54
SPEAKER_00: with,
17:55
SPEAKER_00: that is one of them.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: So what this thing does is it's called the bent tuning fork.
18:05
SPEAKER_00: So you've picked up this bent tuning fork.
18:08
It is resonating with a kind of conjuration type magic,
18:15
but you don't know exactly what it does.
18:17
SPEAKER_00: I'll hold that.
18:19
SPEAKER_00: Yep, so you can put it in your pocket.
18:21
SPEAKER_00: The next thing you see that has magical energy around it is a
18:27
Kind of Brass Spyglass If you look as you pick it up and you
18:32
look at it inside you
18:34
see it's like water inside that swirls around again you don't
18:39
know what that does
18:40
SPEAKER_00: but it's it's
18:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what it is.
18:43
SPEAKER_00: A spyglass.
18:45
SPEAKER_00: It has a little clip on the bottom that can be attached to a bow,
18:49
SPEAKER_00: a crossbow,
18:49
SPEAKER_00: something like that.
18:51
SPEAKER_00: A blunderbuss or something like that.
18:52
SPEAKER_03: Blunderbuss.
18:53
The third thing you notice that gives off magical energy is
19:00
oddly a wooden pot.
19:02
SPEAKER_00: As you
19:04
SPEAKER_00: So it looks like a seed.
19:07
SPEAKER_00: So as you come close to it,
19:09
it pulses with what you can only describe as kind of druidic
19:14
magic or wild plant
19:16
SPEAKER_00: magic.
19:18
SPEAKER_00: Again,
19:18
SPEAKER_00: you don't know what that does,
19:21
but those are the three things in this room that give off a
19:25
faint magical energy
19:26
SPEAKER_00: that are on the shelves.
19:27
The other thing you notice that gives off magical energy is the
19:32
Mona Silas
19:34
SPEAKER_00: And so those are the things that you get with your Detect Magic spell Um,
19:39
SPEAKER_02: two things First,
19:42
um Would I be able So first thing is Would I be able to get
19:48
some gems off the wall?
19:51
So,
19:52
as you two look for these Same Same There are a number of
19:58
different things that you find
20:03
SPEAKER_00: Ebony Claw, you find a little velvet pouch.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: Inside, as you open it, it is full of really rough cut emeralds.
20:14
SPEAKER_03: How much each are they?
20:15
SPEAKER_00: Thornsley,
20:16
SPEAKER_00: as you look around,
20:17
you find another velvet pouch and inside are all kinds of
20:21
asymmetrical fire opals.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: Gabriel, as you look around, you come across these sea glass tokens.
20:33
SPEAKER_00: They're a kind of currency that is from a long-dead civilization.
20:40
But this is a highly sought-after piece of lore that is very
20:46
valued in the Radiant
20:47
SPEAKER_00: Citadel where your home is.
20:49
SPEAKER_01: Who could sell that for a bit of cash?
20:51
yeah and so between the three of you well you've just pocketed
20:56
all of those other
20:57
things yeah so between the three of you these things are worth
21:03
two and a half
21:03
thousand gold well you don't currently know exactly what they
21:12
are only that they're
21:13
SPEAKER_02: magical second thing
21:16
Would I be able to take the monociles down to see if there's
21:22
anything behind it?
21:23
SPEAKER_02: But if there is, I'm just going to carry it.
21:25
SPEAKER_00: Okay, sure.
21:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you can do that.
21:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
21:29
SPEAKER_00: as you lift it off the wall,
21:32
you hear a little snick and a stone that on the wall that was
21:38
behind it slips into
21:40
SPEAKER_00: the wall and moves across and reveals inside a bunch of raw materials.
21:47
Inside you find three chunks of raw Jade Spire Residium That's
21:52
a special kind of
21:54
material that can be used to enchant things with I'm pocketing
21:57
all of this stuff
21:58
like that I'm taking any diamonds if there are any I'm taking
22:02
one of those things
22:03
SPEAKER_00: There are also several bars of pristine glass metal alloy.
22:08
SPEAKER_00: Now this is a raw material that can be used to upgrade your weapons,
22:13
SPEAKER_00: armor,
22:14
SPEAKER_00: clothes,
22:15
SPEAKER_00: those sorts of things.
22:16
And so you can bring these things back to Barnaby's workshop
22:20
and they can be used
22:21
SPEAKER_00: to add custom structural modifications to a crossbow,
22:26
SPEAKER_00: a mace,
22:26
SPEAKER_00: a sickle or to armor.
22:30
SPEAKER_00: And so you can put all of them in your bag.
22:33
SPEAKER_02: They're not all for you Yeah,
22:36
I'm gonna share them equally when we get out of it Can I also
22:39
be carrying the Mona
22:40
SPEAKER_02: Silas and then I'm like,
22:41
SPEAKER_02: let's get out of here You can take that Is the entire room empty by now?
22:47
Ebony clock I'm going to use shatter right in the walls to see
22:52
if there's any like
22:54
SPEAKER_03: secret cave or anything Sure,
22:57
SPEAKER_00: you can do that So describe to us what that would look like So,
23:01
SPEAKER_03: I'm like
23:04
SPEAKER_03: Uh, what is it like?
23:06
SPEAKER_03: I'm going to be like... Kaboom!
23:14
SPEAKER_03: And then it's in the wall.
23:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
23:17
SPEAKER_00: so that Shatter spell,
23:19
SPEAKER_00: as it reverberates around,
23:21
SPEAKER_00: all that you hear is effectively the echoes of solid rock.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: There are no hidden caverns behind that you can detect.
23:29
SPEAKER_01: Um, can we?
23:30
SPEAKER_00: Solid rock.
23:31
SPEAKER_01: Surely everything has to sell at least one gold piece.
23:35
So I'm just going to take everything that is and I'm just going
23:39
to loot the rest of
23:40
SPEAKER_01: the broken stuff.
23:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
23:42
SPEAKER_00: so as you take all,
23:43
there's about 20 other pieces on the wall that you take and you
23:47
loot and we'll just
23:48
SPEAKER_00: give them value of one gold piece each.
23:50
We'll assume that you can sell them at a shop back in the
23:53
Radiant Citadel if you like.
23:54
SPEAKER_01: So that's $2,000 and...
23:57
SPEAKER_00: 2,520 all up We should start a shop called Widgets and Doodads
24:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, maybe you can do that when you get back.
24:13
SPEAKER_00: And so there's one other thing that you notice.
24:16
SPEAKER_00: So the one thing that you haven't yet seen,
24:19
SPEAKER_00: but now that basically all of the loot has been stolen,
24:25
SPEAKER_00: is you come across a diary that is sitting on a desk,
24:33
SPEAKER_00: sitting underneath the monosilus which has been taken off.
24:38
Now on the desk there are some blueprints and yeah and so
24:44
that's what you see as well.
24:46
SPEAKER_00: Soldren?
24:46
Since I've got like a whole bookshelf,
24:49
can I add that diary and add it to my bookshelf?
24:53
SPEAKER_00: So the diary is currently open at a page.
24:56
SPEAKER_01: Can't I have the diary?
24:57
SPEAKER_03: No.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: And so what I might recommend...
25:01
SPEAKER_03: I have a bookshelf.
25:04
So both of you have bookshelves You live in I think the library
25:07
and you stole some
25:08
library shelves to put them in your room I think from memory I
25:12
want the diary I
25:14
also stole some library shelves Okay well you can fight over
25:17
the diary at another
25:19
time but We can have half each As you Yeah I mean if you really
25:23
want you can rip it
25:24
SPEAKER_03: in half I have a dagger So I'm just going to split it in half Shing
25:33
Okay,
25:34
so as you cut it through halfway,
25:40
who gets the first half,
25:41
who gets the second half?
25:42
SPEAKER_01: Me, I get the first half.
25:44
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so you get the first half, you get the larger chunk.
25:47
So as you flip through it,
25:48
you come across a diary entry that reads as follows.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: Now this is actually a diary from... Celis's childhood?
26:00
SPEAKER_00: From Elias Thorne.
26:04
SPEAKER_00: Sorry,
26:05
about Elias Thorn So it says Elias came to me from the verdant
26:11
heart and he was
26:12
SPEAKER_00: weeping over the rot taking over his trees
26:15
SPEAKER_00: Now he was a druid that was entirely broken hearted by change and loss.
26:20
He was so terrified of watching his beautiful forest decay that
26:24
he begged me to use
26:26
SPEAKER_00: my own glass matrix to freeze this world.
26:29
Now whispering he said he whispered that a leaf cannot change
26:33
and if it cannot
26:34
SPEAKER_00: change it cannot ever truly die.
26:37
SPEAKER_00: So then I agreed to help him hide the emerald key down here
26:41
SPEAKER_00: to stop the cycle of decay.
26:44
SPEAKER_02: And then the diary trails off.
26:48
SPEAKER_02: Does it say anything about me in there?
26:52
SPEAKER_02: Because it's about Elias Thorn.
26:55
SPEAKER_03: My granddaughter Thorn's new Shatter Scales.
26:59
SPEAKER_03: Elias Thorn was the guy who trained me.
27:05
SPEAKER_03: Fine, you have the diary.
27:07
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
27:08
SPEAKER_03: I trained this kid.
27:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you can cast Mending on it.
27:14
It comes back together and you can pocket it in your...
27:17
Is there anything about you?
27:20
SPEAKER_00: Nothing about Thornsley is written here,
27:22
but it does give you a sense of who Elias Thorn is and what's
27:28
going on in his life.
27:29
SPEAKER_03: I'm going to be to see if there's anything about Thornsley.
27:33
SPEAKER_03: No, there isn't.
27:34
SPEAKER_03: Dad just said...
27:35
SPEAKER_00: There's nothing written in this diary about Thornsley.
27:38
Since everything is looted,
27:39
would I just be able to go like,
27:41
let's get out
27:43
SPEAKER_03: The Emerald Key, where could the Emerald Key be?
27:47
SPEAKER_00: Well the Emerald Key is that crystal, they're the same thing.
27:52
SPEAKER_00: So you've got it and remember when you grabbed it,
27:56
SPEAKER_00: some magical energy entered into each one of you.
28:04
So you've got these three magical items that you don't know
28:07
what they do.
28:08
SPEAKER_00: And you've had a magical energy enter into you.
28:13
SPEAKER_03: After we defeated, what was his name?
28:19
SPEAKER_03: What does the red key look like?
28:23
SPEAKER_00: Well, in this case, the emerald crystal is the key that you need.
28:29
SPEAKER_00: Just accept that's the way this points out.
28:32
SPEAKER_02: Well, I have a few things.
28:35
SPEAKER_02: One of the things is, you know how when, what's the dragon's name?
28:45
SPEAKER_02: Viridiana.
28:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Viridiana said, you need a plan to get into the Verdant Heart.
28:51
SPEAKER_02: I think there's blueprints for the plan.
28:54
SPEAKER_02: But I also think, but also, but also, like,
29:01
SPEAKER_02: I think we should go back, but also with the magical stuff.
29:08
SPEAKER_02: I think that magical energy would let us know what that stuff does.
29:12
SPEAKER_00: No.
29:14
Detect Magic only tells you what class of magic it comes from,
29:18
not what it does.
29:19
SPEAKER_00: For that you need to cast Identify.
29:24
Could we just be able to go back because I just went into a
29:27
broken house?
29:28
I'll have to identify for everyone if we're going to end up
29:31
with a journal
29:34
SPEAKER_03: That's not fair.
29:35
SPEAKER_03: Identify his, um, a little time.
29:39
SPEAKER_03: The diary is permanent.
29:41
SPEAKER_03: Or Ruben, I, Ruben, or I'm going to blast your face.
29:45
SPEAKER_00: Well, Gabriel is in charge of this adventure today.
29:48
SPEAKER_00: So, Gabriel, do you want, um...
29:51
SPEAKER_02: If you don't, I say, if you don't, don't get a soldier in the, uh...
29:58
SPEAKER_02: I'm a jammer here.
30:00
SPEAKER_02: He has full permission to a level two guiding bogey.
30:04
SPEAKER_01: No.
30:04
SPEAKER_01: I'm after the diary, not the gem.
30:07
SPEAKER_00: So you can, you can instruct him.
30:11
SPEAKER_01: Hannah also cast Identify to see what this magical aura does.
30:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you gave me the gem.
30:19
SPEAKER_01: Do you want to find out to obliterate you?
30:22
Because I was going to let you piece it back together and then
30:26
my plan was to cast
30:28
SPEAKER_01: Command and get you to hand over the dice Wait!
30:31
SPEAKER_01: Charm person on Hugo!
30:33
SPEAKER_01: But why?
30:34
SPEAKER_03: Because you're naughty.
30:36
SPEAKER_03: I'm not naughty.
30:38
SPEAKER_03: All right.
30:39
SPEAKER_03: Charm person.
30:41
SPEAKER_03: Make a wisdom saving throw.
30:43
SPEAKER_03: I am not wise.
30:44
SPEAKER_03: All right, Angel Gabriel.
30:51
SPEAKER_02: Ninety!
30:53
SPEAKER_02: No!
30:53
SPEAKER_02: Okay, run it again.
30:55
SPEAKER_02: How many times?
30:56
SPEAKER_02: Four times.
31:00
SPEAKER_02: Eleven.
31:01
SPEAKER_02: Yes!
31:02
SPEAKER_00: But he has advantage against being charmed, I think.
31:05
SPEAKER_02: No, that's Isaiah.
31:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
31:08
SPEAKER_02: That's me.
31:09
SPEAKER_00: Oh, alright.
31:10
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's fine.
31:11
SPEAKER_02: So he's charmed, now what?
31:14
SPEAKER_03: Tell Isaiah he must not...
31:21
SPEAKER_03: That I must not give him the diary.
31:23
SPEAKER_03: No, you can't do that.
31:24
SPEAKER_02: That's not what churned person does.
31:26
SPEAKER_02: Churned person only makes you churned.
31:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, which means I can digest stuff.
31:32
SPEAKER_02: No, that's not...
31:33
SPEAKER_02: That's the suggest spell No,
31:37
it says One humanoid you can see within range makes a wisdom
31:41
saving throw It does
31:41
so with advantage if you or your allies are fighting it When a
31:45
failed save the
31:46
target has the charmed condition until the spell ends or until
31:50
you or your allies
31:51
damage it The charmed creature is friendly too When the spell
31:55
ends the target knows
31:59
SPEAKER_03: it was charmed by you
32:00
SPEAKER_00: So effectively,
32:01
SPEAKER_00: in this case,
32:03
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to allow it to be a way that he effectively manipulates him.
32:09
SPEAKER_02: So that's fine.
32:12
SPEAKER_00: Alright, so, Soldren is casting Identify.
32:15
SPEAKER_00: So you've cast it three times?
32:18
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
32:19
SPEAKER_00: So you spent half an hour trying to figure out what these things do.
32:22
SPEAKER_01: You pick up this... No, on our magical aura.
32:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
32:27
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I will get to that last.
32:34
But I'm assuming you're also wanting to know what the three
32:37
special things do.
32:39
SPEAKER_00: So the Bent Tuning Fork has a title called the Bent Tuning Fork.
32:47
SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's not surprising.
32:49
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's a silver tuning fork that looks slightly warped.
32:53
SPEAKER_00: Now when held...
32:56
SPEAKER_00: Twisted, if you like.
32:58
SPEAKER_00: Now,
32:58
SPEAKER_00: when held by a bard,
33:02
SPEAKER_00: it perfectly harmonizes the bard's ability to sing or play an instrument.
33:08
SPEAKER_00: It also harmonizes with the anthem of echoes,
33:12
SPEAKER_00: which functions as a kind of resonant focus on a bardic instrument.
33:19
SPEAKER_03: So it gives... What does a resonant focus...
33:23
So that effectively what this does is it unlocks Ebony Claw's
33:27
tier 2 epic boot
33:30
which grants him a plus 1 spell attack and spell save DC so it
33:35
can be attached to
33:36
his lyre which is his instrument and unlocks his tier 2 boot
33:42
now alright buddy hand
33:44
SPEAKER_03: it over
33:46
SPEAKER_02: No, he just needs to hear what they do first.
33:51
SPEAKER_00: The second thing is called the Scope of the Unseen.
33:55
SPEAKER_00: This is Ranger Gear.
33:58
SPEAKER_00: Now, this is a brass spyglass with a swirling liquid glass length.
34:03
SPEAKER_00: It was discarded by Silas because it distorts daylight, but it allows...
34:10
rangers specifically rangers to look through normal darkness
34:16
and to spot a faint
34:17
glowing trail of hidden magical traps or beast tracks so it can
34:21
be used by rangers
34:22
to track animals or to spot traps in a dark environment the
34:29
third thing is called
34:30
SPEAKER_00: the overgrown seed pod
34:32
SPEAKER_00: This is a heavy wooden pod that pulses with druidic magic.
34:38
SPEAKER_00: Now Silas locked it up here to stop it from growing.
34:42
It can be brought back to your base to permanently unlock a
34:46
place called the
34:47
SPEAKER_00: Emerald Greenhouse Facility within your base.
34:50
So it creates a kind of greenhouse where you can grow herbs and
34:55
potion ingredients,
34:56
SPEAKER_00: those sorts of things.
34:58
SPEAKER_00: Thornslet.
34:58
So,
34:59
would I be able to like,
35:00
say like,
35:01
okay guys,
35:03
sort out our differences back at the base.
35:05
SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
35:07
SPEAKER_02: No.
35:07
SPEAKER_02: Raid!
35:08
SPEAKER_03: Raid soldier!
35:09
SPEAKER_02: Then I'm just going to run back to the Concord Crystal if I can.
35:14
SPEAKER_02: Alright so you,
35:15
so Storsley runs up the stairs and out carrying the very heavy
35:19
Silas and Mona Cyrus
35:20
SPEAKER_00: painting Gabriel follows him out Now the two of you,
35:27
SPEAKER_00: that is Soldren and Ebony Claw how are you going to resolve this dispute?
35:33
I'll give you the tuning fork on the condition that you give me
35:37
the diary But he
35:39
SPEAKER_03: said,
35:39
SPEAKER_03: but I chummed him and he said,
35:41
SPEAKER_03: um,
35:42
SPEAKER_03: don't
35:45
SPEAKER_02: Since it's lasted half an hour and your thing only lasts for how long?
35:52
SPEAKER_02: One hour.
35:53
SPEAKER_02: Oh.
35:54
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
35:55
SPEAKER_00: So, how do you want to resolve this?
35:57
SPEAKER_00: You can't leave the room until this is sorted.
36:01
SPEAKER_03: Let's see.
36:03
SPEAKER_03: Person who has the highest charisma modifier.
36:07
SPEAKER_03: Plus three.
36:09
SPEAKER_03: Nope.
36:10
SPEAKER_00: So why don't you let the dice decide?
36:12
SPEAKER_03: Okay, how about a D4?
36:15
SPEAKER_00: So I will roll a D20
36:17
It should be D4 I will roll a D20 If it's 11 or higher the
36:26
tuning fork should be
36:28
given to Ruben and you must give the diary to him If it's a 1
36:32
to 10 you keep the
36:34
diary Ebony Claw and you keep the tuning fork which effectively
36:38
locks the liar from
36:41
SPEAKER_00: upgrading his epic boons from upgrading any further
36:45
SPEAKER_03: Wait, it makes me unable to unlock any more stuff?
36:49
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's what it does.
36:50
SPEAKER_00: It's a boon specifically for... that helps you grow as a character.
36:55
SPEAKER_03: Wait, that means it...
36:56
SPEAKER_02: Wait, that means I can't unlock any more special stuff?
37:00
SPEAKER_02: So it's on level 2 and then it can't unlock anything more?
37:03
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
37:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so it will stop the progression of Ebony Claw's point.
37:07
SPEAKER_02: Then why do I have this seed?
37:09
SPEAKER_03: Because it doesn't... it won't let me progress.
37:12
SPEAKER_03: But that's not fair!
37:14
SPEAKER_03: Dad, why?
37:16
Alright,
37:16
so shall we roll to see what happens or do you want to sort
37:18
this out?
37:19
SPEAKER_03: Uh, wait.
37:21
SPEAKER_03: I'll just give him the diary.
37:23
SPEAKER_03: I don't want the tuning fork.
37:25
SPEAKER_03: Get away from me, tuning fork.
37:28
SPEAKER_00: The tuning fork is the thing you need to progress.
37:33
SPEAKER_00: If he keeps, if Isaiah keeps it, he can't progress.
37:37
SPEAKER_03: I thought I got the diary.
37:39
You have the diary You want the tuning fork I thought I kept
37:42
the diary and I kept
37:43
and I got the tuning fork as well Now if you keep the diary and
37:47
don't make the
37:47
trade you don't get the tuning fork that will unlock the next
37:51
part of the anthem of
37:53
SPEAKER_03: creation That makes a lot more sense So what do you want to do?
37:58
just roll not just hand over no ball and if it's a one to ten
38:03
I'll still give it
38:04
you the diary so just give them the diary actually no just roll
38:10
roll the waste of
38:11
SPEAKER_03: time the roll is eight okay so you make the swap
38:21
SPEAKER_01: Dad's Dungeon Dudes in my epic ruins.
38:23
SPEAKER_01: No, I have to see.
38:25
SPEAKER_00: Oh, hang on.
38:26
As you exit out of the staircase,
38:29
your final ritual casting of Identify comes to an end.
38:36
And what you realise as you step out is that all four of you
38:41
have actually changed
38:42
SPEAKER_00: as a result of this character.
38:44
SPEAKER_00: And you level up to level five.
38:47
SPEAKER_02: Finally!
38:47
SPEAKER_02: Yes, finally it's actually...
38:50
SPEAKER_02: Finally, it's actually on video or recording.
38:54
SPEAKER_03: Is this the end or not?
38:56
SPEAKER_00: No.
38:56
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
38:57
SPEAKER_00: So you can sort out what you want to do with your level five things,
39:01
SPEAKER_00: but we still have some stuff to do today.
39:04
SPEAKER_00: So in between our sessions, you can level up.
39:07
That's probably not good podcast content,
39:10
so we'll worry about that later.
39:11
SPEAKER_00: Now,
39:12
Now,
39:13
as you exit then,
39:15
this Atelier,
39:17
which is where you go,
39:20
this is what happens.
39:22
SPEAKER_00: So as you now are a level 5,
39:26
SPEAKER_00: Thornsly,
39:26
in this encounter with a druid or person or archmage that was
39:31
trying to destroy the
39:33
SPEAKER_00: wild,
39:34
SPEAKER_00: you actually,
39:35
SPEAKER_00: as you exit out of this spire,
39:40
SPEAKER_00: You get your next tier 2 power unlock called the Swiftness of the Wild.
39:47
SPEAKER_00: So your base walking speed increases by 10.
39:50
SPEAKER_02: Oh, so my speed is 50 now.
39:52
Your speed is 50 and that applies to all your beast and wild
39:55
shapes as well.
39:56
SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's good.
39:57
So while in wild shape form,
39:59
what happens is that your silhouette blurs in bright light.
40:03
So opportunity attacks made against you also have disadvantage
40:07
while in wild shapes.
40:09
So that's your tier 2 power spike Ebony Claw Yeah With the new
40:15
tuning fork attached
40:17
to your lyre you have unlocked the resonant focus It's a unique
40:21
bardic focus for
40:23
casting spells So you get a plus 1 bonus to all your spell
40:27
attack rolls and your
40:28
spell save dice rolls as well Additionally your misty step
40:34
leaves behind a deep
40:35
SPEAKER_00: bass note
40:37
So that grants up to 2 allies within 5 feet of your starting
40:40
space a plus 2 bonus
40:41
to their AC until the start of their next turn So you basically
40:48
create a mini
40:49
SPEAKER_00: shield for them until the start of your next turn Gabriel,
40:54
SPEAKER_00: you have unlocked what is called the Shielding Glare
40:58
SPEAKER_00: So,
40:59
when an enemy within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll
41:02
against one of your
41:03
SPEAKER_00: allies,
41:04
SPEAKER_00: you can use your reaction to flash a celestial halo.
41:09
That forces the target to succeed or to have to succeed on a DC
41:15
13 con save or be
41:16
SPEAKER_00: blinded for their next turn.
41:18
SPEAKER_02: Like the person is getting attacked?
41:21
SPEAKER_00: No, so when an enemy makes an attack roll against one of your allies,
41:25
SPEAKER_00: He basically shines a little shiny thing in their eyes,
41:30
SPEAKER_00: which makes them blinded for that attack roll.
41:35
SPEAKER_00: That's a once per day.
41:37
SPEAKER_00: And then Saldren, you have unlocked a grid of protection.
41:42
So as you walk out,
41:44
you hear a mighty snapping sound from inside your backpack.
41:48
And actually what's happened is one of the locks on your Ledger
41:51
of Legends has unlocked.
41:53
SPEAKER_00: And so as that happens,
41:55
Whenever you take out your ledger of legends there is floating
41:59
above it like this
42:00
gyroscope levitating above it and this is a thing that casts
42:05
what's called the grid
42:06
of protection so once per day this thing will cast a shield
42:11
spell as a result of
42:13
all kinds of mathematical equations that you've unlocked in
42:16
this in this second
42:17
thing so you can cast the shield spell once once per day as a
42:22
result of this
42:24
Solder Um,
42:25
two things First,
42:27
um,
42:27
on the way out,
42:28
um,
42:29
where is the,
42:30
um,
42:30
uh,
42:31
stag?
42:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
42:33
SPEAKER_00: we'll get to that in a moment Um,
42:34
SPEAKER_02: and second thing,
42:35
SPEAKER_02: um,
42:36
SPEAKER_02: uh,
42:38
SPEAKER_02: uh,
42:39
SPEAKER_02: well,
42:39
SPEAKER_02: uh,
42:40
SPEAKER_02: there clearly is no bridge,
42:42
SPEAKER_02: like,
42:42
SPEAKER_02: if you go back about three episodes,
42:45
SPEAKER_02: maybe,
42:45
SPEAKER_02: there's still no bridge,
42:47
SPEAKER_02: um,
42:48
SPEAKER_02: getting us from the...
42:50
SPEAKER_00: Don't worry about that,
42:52
SPEAKER_00: Solder
42:53
SPEAKER_01: Above it also,
42:58
SPEAKER_01: with my level really having up,
43:01
SPEAKER_01: I have got this one called Omn,
43:05
SPEAKER_01: which pretty much can turn anything or any item into stone.
43:11
SPEAKER_01: So no naughty people otherwise I turn it into stone.
43:14
SPEAKER_01: What's it called?
43:15
SPEAKER_02: This.
43:18
that doesn't it's not well we'll worry about that at a
43:23
different time I can attack
43:29
two times per I can so I basically have multi-attack yes you do
43:35
as a ranger you
43:35
know have a bonus attack which makes you a multi-attack fighter
43:39
but you can't which
43:39
SPEAKER_02: is a bit exciting one hundred two spells
43:44
SPEAKER_00: No, yeah, it's only with your crossbow.
43:47
SPEAKER_00: So you can't cast...
43:48
SPEAKER_02: And my short sword and my poison spray and my...
43:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
43:50
SPEAKER_02: but you can't...
43:51
SPEAKER_00: Not poison spray.
43:52
SPEAKER_00: You can't do two attacks.
43:55
SPEAKER_00: Alright.
43:56
SPEAKER_00: So,
43:56
now you've got the Emerald Key crystal with you and you're
44:02
walking back out into
44:04
SPEAKER_00: the vibrant living forest.
44:06
SPEAKER_00: Now,
44:06
SPEAKER_00: as you exit this building,
44:09
SPEAKER_00: standing right in front of you,
44:11
SPEAKER_00: where the massive chasm was,
44:13
SPEAKER_00: where the bridge was,
44:15
SPEAKER_00: is the Alpha Beast.
44:17
SPEAKER_00: It is obviously a glass stag no longer.
44:21
SPEAKER_00: It has been restored to its normal furry, staggy goodness.
44:25
SPEAKER_00: But since,
44:26
SPEAKER_00: because Silas' spell is gone,
44:28
SPEAKER_00: it has been transformed back into a normal creature,
44:33
SPEAKER_00: I guess.
44:34
It has also shrunk down in size a little bit from when you saw
44:37
it last time.
44:39
SPEAKER_00: So it used to be, you know, 10 feet across.
44:43
SPEAKER_00: It is now the size of a grand but normal size Alvin Elk.
44:49
Its coat is made of this beautiful shimmering brown that
44:54
catches the sunlight in
44:55
SPEAKER_00: kind of a golden glow.
44:57
SPEAKER_00: Now as you exit,
44:59
SPEAKER_00: it tilts its head and it lets out a soft musical call looking directly at
45:05
SPEAKER_00: Thornsley.
45:06
SPEAKER_00: What do you want to do?
45:07
Um I want to go up to it and then um I want to establish a
45:13
secret handshake with it
45:14
Okay so roll an animal handling check for me please Okay Am I
45:19
good with that?
45:20
I'll give Teddy and Shugo I'll give Shugo your items Okay so
45:26
Thanks Very good How
45:28
SPEAKER_01: come if they both get items and so does Ruben what do I make?
45:32
Remember you've had this book with you from the beginning which
45:36
they haven't
45:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's five.
45:39
SPEAKER_00: So that is your item.
45:40
SPEAKER_02: Go to five.
45:43
SPEAKER_00: Okay,
45:43
SPEAKER_00: so with a five,
45:45
the stag allows you to come up to it and sort of wipe its face
45:52
and then he snorts
45:56
and as he snorts the steam kind of comes from his mouth but
46:00
that's about it.
46:02
SPEAKER_00: Now, do you have, does anyone have a speak with animals spell?
46:06
SPEAKER_00: Me?
46:07
SPEAKER_02: I'm pretty sure I do.
46:11
Well since we're obviously going to have another long rest of
46:15
the house probably
46:18
I'm just going to do not ritual okay that's fine so the problem
46:27
before you is this
46:28
giant chasm and you need to get back to the Concorde but what
46:31
do you want to say to
46:33
SPEAKER_02: the beast I'm like
46:37
SPEAKER_02: There's this chasm.
46:38
SPEAKER_02: Please get us over with.
46:40
SPEAKER_02: We want to get back home.
46:42
SPEAKER_02: You can even meet my friend there.

SPEAKER_00: Who's your friend?
46:48
SPEAKER_00: Who's your friend?
46:48
SPEAKER_02: The Falcon.
46:49
SPEAKER_02: The other alpha beast.
46:51
SPEAKER_03: Mr. Squeaky fan.
46:53
SPEAKER_03: Silly.
46:54
SPEAKER_02: The elder bird.
46:55
SPEAKER_00: Does he have a name?
46:57
SPEAKER_00: I want a name.
46:58
SPEAKER_00: Does he have a name?
47:00
SPEAKER_00: I want a name.
47:01
SPEAKER_02: Your name,

47:05
SPEAKER_03: Squeaky Pan Come on,
47:07
SPEAKER_03: can this one please be Mr.
47:09
SPEAKER_02: Squeaky Pan Your name is the Strider Stag The Strider Stag,
47:18
SPEAKER_00: very good No,
47:19
SPEAKER_00: the Hoof Treader Hoof Treader,
47:21
SPEAKER_00: what a great name,
47:22
SPEAKER_00: you can have inspiration for that
47:24
I like Stag Strider better Alright,
47:26
so as Stag Strider,
47:30
no,
47:30
what do we call him?
47:31
SPEAKER_00: Hoof Treador Snorts again,
47:34
SPEAKER_00: he says,
47:36
SPEAKER_00: I like that You get the sense that he,
47:42
SPEAKER_00: so he bends down,
47:43
puts a foot on the floor and allows you to climb onto his back
47:49
Do you want to do
47:50
SPEAKER_00: that?
47:50
SPEAKER_02: Uh, yeah
47:51
SPEAKER_00: Alright,
47:52
so all four of you climb onto this giant alpha beast's back and
47:57
as you do so,
47:59
SPEAKER_00: he lets out a snort and says,
48:01
SPEAKER_00: because your speaking with animals is still working,
48:04
SPEAKER_00: he says to you
48:07
Watch this and so the stag runs back into the building and
48:14
starts at an incredible
48:17
speed running and he jumps and he actually jumps the full
48:21
hundred feet of the
48:23
SPEAKER_00: canyon gap
48:24
And as you do so you can feel the wind blowing through your
48:27
hair Gabriel lets out a
48:30
cry of terror because it's so far down I jump off and unleash
48:36
my wings Yep so you
48:38
jump off as you do so you unleash your incarnation and you
48:44
spread your wings and
48:45
you fly across I also do that because I have wings Draconic
48:48
wings You do have
48:50
SPEAKER_00: draconic wings as a level 5 I forgot about that
48:55
SPEAKER_00: So yeah,
48:56
so the two of you jump off freaking out and you fly over by
49:00
yourself soldering in
49:01
your metallic armor You have no choice but to hold on to the
49:05
alpha beast and
49:06
thornsley You because you are a druid you trust this animal
49:11
implicitly and so you
49:12
SPEAKER_03: just hang on thornsley I'll grab him and fly
49:19
Alright,
49:19
so you get to the other side and that's where you kind of end
49:25
up.
49:25
SPEAKER_00: Now,
49:26
SPEAKER_00: you walk towards,
49:27
SPEAKER_00: on the other side,
49:28
SPEAKER_00: you all jump back on the stag's back and he starts walking across.
49:32
SPEAKER_00: And as you're walking down the road back to the Concord Crystal,
49:36
SPEAKER_00: you see,
49:37
SPEAKER_00: standing in front of you on the path,
49:40
SPEAKER_00: Lyra,
49:41
who was the person who was working on all the little glass
49:44
things before you.
49:47
SPEAKER_00: So, what do you want to do?
49:49
SPEAKER_03: Uh, I'm gonna jump down there and shake her hand.
49:54
No,
49:54
I'm going to fly down there and shake her hand vigorously so it
49:58
almost falls off.
49:59
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
50:00
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
50:01
SPEAKER_03: Wait, what does she do again?
50:03
SPEAKER_00: So she is a tinkery.
50:04
SPEAKER_00: You can ask her.
50:05
SPEAKER_00: Just ask her.
50:05
SPEAKER_01: Who's a tinkery?
50:06
Since you no longer have a job with Silas,
50:13
maybe she could come to our base and you could
50:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so roll a persuasion check for me.
50:21
SPEAKER_02: And then I'll yell, we'll give you good food.
50:27
SPEAKER_03: I want to ask her if there's any villages around here.
50:30
SPEAKER_03: Twelve.
50:33
SPEAKER_00: Okay,
50:33
SPEAKER_00: so with a twelve,
50:34
SPEAKER_00: she says,
50:35
well since there are no villages around here anymore and this
50:39
is now simply a
50:40
SPEAKER_00: natural forest area,
50:42
SPEAKER_00: There's really nothing more for me to do here.
50:44
SPEAKER_00: So yes, I think I will.
50:46
SPEAKER_00: I'll come with you, oh heroes who saved my forest.
50:51
SPEAKER_00: So she says, is there any room on the stag for me?
50:55
SPEAKER_02: Then I'll be like, yes, there is
51:02
As long as Isaiah has to run off into the sunset chasing the
51:07
stag I am sitting on
51:11
the stag's head You're sitting on the stag and you're holding
51:15
the antlers I'm Beast
51:16
SPEAKER_00: Tamer!
51:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeehaw!
51:20
So Soldran positions himself right on top of the stag's head
51:23
holding one hand to
51:24
SPEAKER_00: each antler Lyra hops on the back and all five,
51:28
SPEAKER_00: six of you start wandering back to the Concorde crystal
51:33
SPEAKER_00: Now,
51:34
SPEAKER_00: you hop on the Concorde crystal,
51:36
SPEAKER_00: you can take a long rest on the way back,
51:39
you get out to the other side and as you walk back into the
51:46
hero's hearth,
51:47
SPEAKER_00: you now come back with your giant painting
51:51
Your vault full of 2500 extra gold pieces and with you is Lyra
52:01
who is with you now
52:03
as you slide off you ask Lyra what does she do and she actually
52:10
says that she used
52:11
SPEAKER_00: to be an enchanter
52:14
and so she says well you don't need to so you so you provide
52:24
her a room next to the
52:26
room that Barnaby's wife and child have and she sets up an
52:29
enchanting kiosk I guess
52:32
inside your base as well I'm gonna ask her if she can enchant
52:37
my daggies right now
52:39
SPEAKER_00: Now,
52:39
this is what you have options for You have your raw Jade Spies
52:47
Residium You've got
52:48
the pristine glass metal alloys You've got your newly recruited
52:52
enchanter You don't
52:54
SPEAKER_00: yet have an enchanting room in your house And so in front of you,
52:59
SPEAKER_00: you have
53:01
SPEAKER_00: Two options to expand.
53:03
You can build an enchanting atelier,
53:06
so like a workshop for enchanting stuff.
53:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we can do that.
53:09
SPEAKER_00: Secondly, you can build your emerald greenhouse with the special suit.
53:14
SPEAKER_02: Does that also cost 1000G?
53:15
SPEAKER_02: No, it doesn't.
53:17
SPEAKER_02: We have 3000 for memory.
53:19
SPEAKER_00: You've got 500 left and you've got two and a half with you.
53:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but in the vault there's still 1000.
53:26
SPEAKER_00: No, there's 500 in the block.
53:28
SPEAKER_00: Oh no, there's 1,000, you're right.
53:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
53:31
SPEAKER_03: We can do three upgrades.
53:32
SPEAKER_03: Can we upgrade the vault to have a secret gambling room?
53:37
SPEAKER_03: Yes!
53:38
SPEAKER_03: Yes, we'll gamble over our money.
53:41
SPEAKER_01: No, I want to have a games room.
53:42
SPEAKER_01: No, we can have a private jet.
53:45
SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no.
53:47
SPEAKER_01: I've got a really good idea.
53:50
On the top floor,
53:52
we should add this big room with massive wooden doors and a
53:56
nice tread carpet.
53:58
SPEAKER_01: And then it's got this like big table All the moaners No,
54:03
and then it's got like wooden little chairs with like clever
54:10
seats for four of us
54:12
with like metal like triangular prism things with our names on
54:19
it The Hall of
54:19
SPEAKER_01: Heroes Yeah,
54:21
the Hall of Heroes with like a sign above the door saying the
54:25
Hall of Heroes and
54:26
SPEAKER_01: then
54:29
SPEAKER_01: and then we have a painting of us.
54:33
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
54:35
SPEAKER_01: Along with all the moaners.
54:37
SPEAKER_02: So we're spending $1,000 on,
54:42
SPEAKER_02: so we're spending $2,000,
54:44
SPEAKER_02: the Hall of Heroes and the Enchanting Room,
54:45
SPEAKER_02: is that right?
54:46
SPEAKER_02: Can we make the Gambling Room on a private jet?
54:48
SPEAKER_02: No, no, no.
54:49
SPEAKER_02: It's a Kid Family Podcast.
54:51
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so you spend, well that doesn't exist in this thing.
54:57
SPEAKER_00: So you spend your thousand dollars to build,
55:00
or thousand gold pieces to build your hall of heroes and you
55:03
build your enchanting
55:06
SPEAKER_00: room as well.
55:07
SPEAKER_01: Can we make a pool or have we all enjoyed that?
55:11
SPEAKER_01: A bath by bath to when I was sitting on the stag's head,
55:14
SPEAKER_01: I was just screaming,
55:16
SPEAKER_01: this is very irregular!
55:19
All right,
55:21
you can have inspiration for that because that's very much in
55:24
your character.
55:25
SPEAKER_03: Is there a pool or have we already built one?
55:28
SPEAKER_00: There's no pool.
55:29
SPEAKER_03: Can we build one?
55:31
So having handed over the thousand gold pieces to build your
55:35
Hall of Heroes and a
55:36
SPEAKER_00: thousand gold pieces to build the art enchanting room
55:42
You finally upgrade your base to what is effectively a level 2
55:47
base and as these
55:49
things happen you have some downtime you can go into your rooms
55:53
