Transcript
- 0:00Greetings come and welcome to Flile to the face.
- 0:02Oh my God, my name is Cannibal. Chris and I will be our game
- 0:05master as we continue to play Merck Borg as always.
- 0:08This is the Merck Borg show. We're playing Church of the Worm
- 0:10still, so let's get into. It Hello, I am Levi.
- 0:14Oh yeah, you died a horrible shit death.
- 0:16Yeah, Levi's in limbo. I'm Thomas and I'm continuing to
- 0:21play Weeva. For now.
- 0:23I'm Kevin and I'm playing Tommy. And I'm Todd Word and Greg.
- 0:28That does sound right. Yeah.
- 0:30I'm Nate and I play. Screech.
- 0:32Scratchers. No, you're Dorian.
- 0:34For now, who? Was that?
- 0:37What the flail? So the four of you now you're
- 1:09what are five? There are now four are deep
- 1:11underneath the tunnels of the cesspits of Schleswig, kind of
- 1:16winding tunnels of various width and description before you guys
- 1:20continue on. You guys are heading and
- 1:22wherever it is that these shitty eaters are communing and you
- 1:26think you're going the right way.
- 1:28Either way, somebody give me AD 8, AD 10 and another D10.
- 1:32Make vacation boy. Do it.
- 1:34Yes, vacation boy. D8 I got a 5 go.
- 1:39Fingers are crisp for dice rolling.
- 1:41And got a 5 on AD 10 get and A1. OK.
- 1:47You guys continue on and you guys turn another corner.
- 1:50You guys are blindly turning corners.
- 1:51You don't know where you're going, but you turn and you
- 1:54notice the hallway that you guys are wandering down is immensely
- 1:58sticky to the touch, like Flypaper.
- 2:00But as you guys continue on, you start hearing this grinding and
- 2:04this this squelching. As in front of you, you notice a
- 2:09worm about as thick as a man rib flesh.
- 2:13Foul odor that's almost apparent before anything else is this
- 2:17muscular extension over this toothless mouth.
- 2:20Roll initiative, boys. It's getting heavy.
- 2:22This is coming at you. Your food.
- 2:24Jesus, that's a 5. That's a 5.
- 2:27That's you guys. You guys see this thing coming
- 2:29at you and it looks hungry. I guess it's hungry.
- 2:31The one, do you see Paul Thrun, who's still there I think,
- 2:35right. Yeah, Yes.
- 2:36OK. I just said make sure who's the
- 2:38only one I believe that's with you guys anymore.
- 2:40You see him kind of turned to run and he just kind of runs in
- 2:42place like a fucking mime would What an asshole.
- 2:48I know the NPC. Yeah that's how it goes.
- 2:52That being said, actually there is something that I noticed the
- 2:55earlier yesterday as we were talking about the last episode's
- 2:58companion. We, which you all know at this
- 3:01point is a bunch of followers. I notice, and it's a paragraph
- 3:05in the book that I don't think I've ever fucking read in my
- 3:08life. It's the follower's paragraph on
- 3:11page 71. It says the GM makes a morale
- 3:13check from time to time, succeed in the Outcast saves, and adds
- 3:16the group's highest presence to the role.
- 3:18The GM should also consider whether or not the group
- 3:20provides the Outcast with the things he she had values.
- 3:23That being said, with Paul Teroun doing the goofy little
- 3:26runoff thing he did, let's have a morale role and who has the
- 3:31highest presence. I have +2 that's.
- 3:33Current current winner. Yeah, I have 0.
- 3:35We got, I have one. We got +2 going once going.
- 3:38For what Present? Yes.
- 3:39Presence. That's.
- 3:40I got a three. I'm dead.
- 3:42Oh yeah, that's right. I looked at you too.
- 3:46I'm dead. OK, so we're gonna add a + 3 to
- 3:48this morale role. So just give me a 2D6 then.
- 3:51Nathans, You're the one with the biggest.
- 3:52Why not? The.
- 3:54Biggest 8 + 3. I realize now I don't know what
- 3:57Platoon's stats are, but A + 3 is definitely a successful
- 4:01regardless of what it is, so we'll call it that.
- 4:04Yeah, just something that I noticed yesterday.
- 4:06I'm like, we've never used this. OK, so I feel like it's relevant
- 4:09now. Anyway, go ahead guys.
- 4:10Yeah, where's the bad part? The bad.
- 4:12Part. That was it.
- 4:13Who's going first? Here I play my sword flute.
- 4:15You guys are you're. Going to play your sword flute
- 4:16at it. I have to, yes.
- 4:18I love it. That's what I mean.
- 4:21It technically, I want to call this an animal for the sake of
- 4:23mechanics of that you can play it like an instrument.
- 4:26The lovely tunes have a two and six chance of enchanting him for
- 4:28a + 2 to reaction role. OK, so that's a great point.
- 4:31So this is a worm, right? Really hard to determine its
- 4:34mood. So what we're going to do is
- 4:36you're going to play that you can do D6.
- 4:38If it succeeds, we'll add that to a reaction role, which will
- 4:40roll regardless. Is he drooling from his mouth?
- 4:43Or he. Looks hungry.
- 4:45I assume he's hungry. I feel like he might be always
- 4:47be doing that, but you know he currently is, yes.
- 4:49That's a 19 on the dice. My friend, it's AD six.
- 4:52You're going to oh, fuck yeah, you automatically play it 4
- 4:56four. That's a fit.
- 4:57OK, so yeah, you play this horrible tune like it's so bad
- 5:01you can almost smell it because he's blowing through it.
- 5:04This skeletons breath the worm. I guess what we're going to do
- 5:09then is we're just going to roll the reaction anyway then.
- 5:12So give me that reaction rule anyway, 2D6.
- 5:14The one and a six. It's hard to tell what it's
- 5:17doing exactly by its because it's a worm, but it's still
- 5:20coming at you guys so. I did nothing.
- 5:22Well, you the result was indifferent.
- 5:25And I feel like it's how you feel about your food when you're
- 5:27a worm. So it's just food.
- 5:30That's true. Yeah, they don't have a lot of
- 5:32just. Keep playing my stupid songs,
- 5:33yeah. Yeah, OK.
- 5:34Who else? Yeah, after after watching that
- 5:39wonderful display of music Adept, I'm going to go ahead and
- 5:44just kind of level my crossbow. Like, just over his shoulder.
- 5:48Yeah, and fire a bolt at the worm.
- 5:51OK, so since you're levelling it over his shoulder, there's a
- 5:53penalty to failure. I feel if you fail by a lot, you
- 5:56know what I mean? So five or lower.
- 5:58I swear to God if you hit a one. Well, I would say 5 or lower.
- 6:01I'm. Going to go ahead and omen that.
- 6:06I used to have omens you could have saved.
- 6:07Me. It's a new day.
- 6:08Oh, that's right. It's a new day.
- 6:11That's a 5. That's a 5 total, I said.
- 6:14Five or lower didn't. I you did.
- 6:17So that does DA damage, correct? Correct.
- 6:20And you have how much armor? None.
- 6:22OK, well, Thomas, roll that D8. Tell us whatever you wanted to
- 6:26tell. Us.
- 6:26Oh wait, do I have my smoking jacket?
- 6:28No, no. It's shit covered.
- 6:29You legitimately. No, he did because it was shit
- 6:32covered. Because we pulled it down
- 6:33through with us. You.
- 6:34Do have it I. Thought he was, he was rather
- 6:37bitter about that. Yes, he actually is.
- 6:41What did you hit me with? A3.
- 6:44Oh, that's. Not bad.
- 6:44That's not bad. Miners are D2 as well, so could
- 6:47be basically nothing. One dash?
- 6:49Yes, not bad. Sticks into his, into his
- 6:53shoulder blade. Bone.
- 6:54Yep. Could you watch where you're
- 6:56aiming that? Do that, do that, do that.
- 6:58I'm going to look at him. Just kind of stand up straight
- 7:00and crack my back a bit and like, stab the Volge into this
- 7:05what I assume is just shit. Yeah, pretty.
- 7:08Much. Yeah.
- 7:08Just mostly it's not a bulge. I know.
- 7:10It's it's probably like more of a Hellberg whatever.
- 7:14So I just stab it into the ground and I pull my bow.
- 7:16I take a shot at this worm. I like it.
- 7:18You guys are fucking clowns. Clowns.
- 7:24Just put yourself together hard. Work hard, work hard.
- 7:28Work. I don't have my flesh.
- 7:30I'm a little, little under the weather.
- 7:32I'm stressed out. Stressed out.
- 7:34Stressed out. 1818 to hit with that bow.
- 7:37Don't bend that off. Fuck yeah.
- 7:39OK head covered and so give me your damage.
- 7:42And don't subtract D2, just subtract 2 because it says
- 7:45ribskin -2. Yum.
- 7:47I don't know if that's meant to be D2 or not, but it says 2 so
- 7:49we're going two. Fuck duck.
- 7:51How much You get 3. -1, OK. I mean no -2.
- 7:55I got you. OK, so moving on then.
- 7:57So Weemit or Tommy. Oh, Weemit went.
- 8:00He's. The one?
- 8:01Never mind. I shot Todd.
- 8:03Word. That's true.
- 8:03OK, so then it's just Tommy. OK, Tommy's going to pull out
- 8:07the the cane low dart thing that he pilfered off of Peewee and
- 8:11he's going to kind of whip out some of the shit that's in the
- 8:14tube load of dart and try to shoot it at the big wormy gay.
- 8:22I like to think you just, like, flipped out a poop cylinder.
- 8:25Perfect. Yeah, it's like a solid straw.
- 8:28He. Just like blew it out.
- 8:30Just. Yeah, except when he inhaled, it
- 8:33went into the back of his throat.
- 8:36Oh yeah. I was like shit.
- 8:38Back on the menu, boy. Dumb.
- 8:47That was a five. I'm going to omen that.
- 8:50Yeah. Oh boy.
- 8:51How much? Wait, how much damage is that?
- 8:52They're? Just D twos.
- 8:54I don't know it. It's just D2, It's AD 2.
- 8:56I mean, it's just a, it's a I've been hit by doing nothing.
- 9:02It's. Actually.
- 9:04Yes, yeah, it makes sense though it is a giant worm.
- 9:07You just. Shoot it in the sphincter.
- 9:08Don't omen. Don't even.
- 9:10Don't omen that. Always.
- 9:10Going to I'll let it. Let it fly.
- 9:13It just sticks into the poop. It just gone into the shit.
- 9:15Into the wall. Absorbs it.
- 9:17Yeah, just disappears with that. That's the worm, isn't it?
- 9:22Let's see. You're playing a flute.
- 9:24You're shooting a crossbow, shooting a blow dart.
- 9:26You're shooting. I got to keep your distance.
- 9:28Yeah, that's really flirt. Yeah.
- 9:30So that means that I kind of feel like you're all kind of
- 9:32even. Right.
- 9:33I do think I want to be like kind of backing up a bit if it's
- 9:37still coming at us. Like, I don't want to be
- 9:38shooting a bow at somebody that's coming at me and not try
- 9:41to take. Roll AD 5 and whoever picks this
- 9:44picked. Yeah, OK.
- 9:45Well, we'll go D4 because this guy's not here yet.
- 9:47So yeah, so we'll and we'll start round Robin.
- 9:49So Thomas, Kevin, Jake, Nate, you know your character is not
- 9:52your people, but so Levi, roll AD four.
- 9:56We want to do something. Participation trophy.
- 10:02One that's that's that's that's weemit.
- 10:05OK, so this thing launches this. Earth shattering damage to
- 10:09Weemit once, please. It fucking made me to be honest.
- 10:15And this thing like lumbering, it's it's slow moving as it's
- 10:18coming at you guys. But that makes this fucking
- 10:20leap. And give me ADR 12 agility test
- 10:24Thomas all. Right.
- 10:26Spite omen. Not needed.
- 10:29It is a natural one. Oh my God.
- 10:35OK, so take D10 damage. Oh, and double it.
- 10:41Holy fuck, I'm dead serious. Yeah.
- 10:44OK. And your armor breaks, if you
- 10:46have any. That's actually true after the
- 10:48after application. Use one of your anal beads.
- 10:51Yeah, you might have to. I roll the two.
- 10:54Oh, that's lucky. So four damage is what we're
- 10:56looking. At oh, you Lucky 4.
- 10:58Damage and I have the shield of faith, which is let's see what?
- 11:04It also reflects damage. But isn't that on his back?
- 11:08Don't you shooting? Across.
- 11:09You want to shoot in the crossbow?
- 11:10Yeah. That's.
- 11:12Devils advocate over here. No, that makes sense.
- 11:15That makes sense. That Crossbow 2 hander.
- 11:16So yeah, four damage then, yeah. That's not that bad.
- 11:18Did you have armor? Otherwise but also.
- 11:21Nope. No.
- 11:21Other armor on them. But also, oh, I figured this
- 11:24might be bad. Give me a strength test, the
- 11:26R12O boy. That's going to be a 7, OK?
- 11:31So, so this thing lunges and you see, like, crushed.
- 11:34We miss, right? Like he crushes him under the
- 11:36weight of it and you see like his mouth a gape as it does
- 11:39this, the weight of this whole thing.
- 11:41He's inside the goddamn mouth, standing.
- 11:43Yeah. And you see like it kind of rear
- 11:44back again and we miss in it's fucking mouth, like you see the
- 11:48bottoms of his Bony ass feet and we miss from inside there.
- 11:52You see like this, this wonderful, brilliant light
- 11:55inside there, like it's the fucking sun inside this damn
- 11:59worm. Somewhere deep in there, though,
- 12:01you're seeing these lights cast from inside this might.
- 12:03Have been the greatest time for that worm, though.
- 12:05Couldn't be here, that's. A fair point.
- 12:10All right, so with that, Thomas, to give you transparency as to
- 12:12the mechanics around it, right now it says Test strength Dr. 12
- 12:15will be grappled and next turn devoured.
- 12:18So starting next turn, if you fail to get out of that, it's
- 12:20going to be DA damage per round that you're being devoured until
- 12:24you're dead up. So you gotta go.
- 12:27Let's roll an issue with it again.
- 12:28I don't. Want to I know?
- 12:30Right, everything's terrifying more often than not.
- 12:32One A1. Perfect.
- 12:34So that thing, you feel this muscular pharynx squeezing you,
- 12:40So give me another strength test.
- 12:42Got that? Gluck, Gluck.
- 12:48I'm going to open that, OK. And that is going to be a 12.
- 12:54Oh, on the nuts. OK, so you're like, you're
- 12:56struggling against this thing's throat and you managed to like,
- 13:02well, how do you get out of that 'cause you did something to get
- 13:04yourself out of there. What'd you do?
- 13:06I imagine I take one of my bolts from my quiver and I just start
- 13:10jabbing into the throat of this worm.
- 13:14We're not. We're not going to say that that
- 13:15creates any damage per SE, but it does.
- 13:17Damage. Just like an irritant, so that
- 13:19it just, like, vomits me back out.
- 13:21Perfect it. Regurgitates you, but you're not
- 13:23the only thing it regurgitates as this light comes rushing at
- 13:25you as this happens, and you see a face amongst this light, kind
- 13:30of, like, rush out of you because this worm is just like
- 13:32regurgitating you. All these muscles are pushing
- 13:34you guys out, man. Yeah, you're ejected from this
- 13:37worm's mouth, as is this other person.
- 13:45What does this weird little dude look like as he's vomited out of
- 13:47this worm's stomach and he's. About four foot tall, he's 4
- 13:52foot tall. He has a bright and shining
- 13:59flame, pompadour, and Oh my. God.
- 14:04Fucking Endeavor. You're the worst while all this
- 14:08was happening. Before like this worm has wee
- 14:10bit in his mouth and shit and I turned, I turned over to Todd
- 14:13word and I'm like, yeah, he's. Probably on lost cause, maybe we
- 14:17just continue on this way and then they just.
- 14:19Start getting thrown up, we. Were about to just come in and
- 14:22save you Diamond Diamond I. Slept for your first idea?
- 14:25Shut up. And that's on you guys now.
- 14:29And he's in. Leather armor?
- 14:31Oh, good to. Know with a.
- 14:33Broad with a broad. We needed to.
- 14:34Really put it together, Yeah, with a broad.
- 14:36Axe on his back. Oh, that's help.
- 14:37Acting more helpful than that? What is?
- 14:39Actually happening here. I feel like I shouldn't be the
- 14:42one that's confused, confused. I'm waiting.
- 14:45For the new guy to say something, honestly, he has not
- 14:47said much and he's enemy I feel like.
- 14:50There are bigger problems. Start.
- 14:51Work hard work. You're right.
- 14:53And I turn around and start running.
- 14:55You're just running. I just.
- 14:56Run away. I like it, OK.
- 14:58I run. Through the ball fields.
- 14:59You guys see, Todd would take off and he just takes a corner.
- 15:02He's gone. Watch.
- 15:04It. Watch, fool.
- 15:06Fool. I grabbed my Hamburg off the
- 15:10wall. I don't want to leave it here.
- 15:12Gotcha. But then what?
- 15:13How's this? Worm looking good.
- 15:16Worm looking. Nice looking, hungry, hungry and
- 15:21virile vein I've been. In there.
- 15:25For hours he's very bleached. I got to imagine due to the
- 15:29stomach acid from the worm. How?
- 15:31I look over at Tommy and I struck like, what the fuck are
- 15:34we doing here? Let's get the fuck at it.
- 15:38Can I join you guys, guys, guys just.
- 15:41Don't talk, let's fucking go. I'll bring my.
- 15:43Flames of justice, Justice. What the fuck does that mean?
- 15:47It means what it means. Let's go.
- 15:49Your hair is on fire. Like Firestorm?
- 15:51Pretty much. Yeah, I like it.
- 15:52That's great. She's Endeavor.
- 15:54Like I said, he's a tiny little endeavor.
- 15:57Like some of this, like, bile crap off of him and he's just
- 16:01like Todd might have something with this plan just running
- 16:07after him. Yeah, you can.
- 16:10Follow us. We only have to outrun you, so
- 16:13OK. So yeah, the five of you run
- 16:15away from this worm. You guys take off the direction
- 16:18Toddward went, he takes a corner.
- 16:20You guys all take corners. You guys keep doing this and
- 16:22eventually the whole tunnels open up to this massive, almost
- 16:26stadium sized chamber. Oh shit.
- 16:29And in front of you you see a massive, decrepit Chapel of some
- 16:33sort. Some kind of church, do you
- 16:35think? They have a walk, not down.
- 16:38Here super dealt with that. Perfect.
- 16:42Full of shit. Stick around me.
- 16:44Cannot dry that shit off. Who?
- 16:46The fuck are you? I don't know.
- 16:48What it is you notice? Oh great, you're slipping again.
- 16:55Again. You notice that this Chapel is
- 16:57completely surrounded by worms. That's about the size of a human
- 17:00arm. You can hear this squirming
- 17:03sound just kind of like, endlessly.
- 17:05Yeah, yeah. And this chanting.
- 17:07This, this weird inhuman chanting.
- 17:10Very rhythmic. This entire structure stinks of
- 17:13sewage, as you would affect I Play.
- 17:15My flutu again, gonna. Play flute again.
- 17:17There's lots. Of worms in here.
- 17:18That's fair, all right. Give me a 2D6.
- 17:20I'm gonna give me AD 6A. Single D6.
- 17:23Okay. Yeah.
- 17:24Terrible sound again. Fuck so much that like the
- 17:26worms, like the little squealing sounds that they're suddenly
- 17:29making, are trying to, like, match what you're playing to
- 17:34make it better. I put my hand on his shoulder.
- 17:38Greatest screech failure I. Can't tell if screech your doors
- 17:44right now. Right, now, that was both both
- 17:46wise and slightly uneasy, yes. He's just.
- 17:52Be at times. I think he sucks with that God.
- 17:54Damn it, we much, we much. I'm going to March up the stairs
- 17:57to the Chapel, OK. Yeah, you walk up the stairs to
- 18:00this Chapel and you notice that these worms, while kind of
- 18:02everywhere, are really ignoring you entirely.
- 18:05They they don't seem to pay you any mind.
- 18:08I'm like, think they fucking are And you guys, Yeah, you walk up
- 18:11the stairs, the door is wide open, This front door at this
- 18:15Chapel. Are you guys all following him
- 18:16up the stairs and into the building?
- 18:18I'm kind of like backing up the stairs because I want to see if
- 18:21that other worm is continuing to follow us.
- 18:24OK, that's. Fair you.
- 18:26You're kind of keeping an eye on the tunnel that you guys emerged
- 18:28from into this chamber and you don't see anything as you guys
- 18:30are backing up. Fortunately, that worm you must
- 18:33have lost. And as you can tell he was very
- 18:34slow and for mechanical transparency, just so that you
- 18:38guys listeners I guess or whoever cares, he's slow moving
- 18:43that worm. It's ADR 10 to hit the worm and
- 18:46it can always be outrun unless you're grappled always.
- 18:50Yep. So the fact that you said you're
- 18:52running, I'm like well that's that's the end of that.
- 18:54Then you got away from it, which makes sense considering how slow
- 18:57moving it is and how quickly you guys could run.
- 18:59You guys all head up these stairs.
- 19:00You walk into this small chamber, faint smell of mud and
- 19:04earth. In here, in this soft squelching
- 19:06coming from deeper within, there's this thin, muddy sludge
- 19:09under foot. Now the door was open and then
- 19:12muddied, and you've noticed that there are tracks of barefoot
- 19:15humans in this sludge on the ground.
- 19:18The ceiling is vaulted with this fine gold painting, but it's
- 19:21mostly covered by smutings of shit.
- 19:24Naturally, you notice that there is a golden chandelier hanging
- 19:27from the center of the room, from a short chain from the
- 19:29ceiling to the north. You notice, or as you go deeper
- 19:32because you guys are heading north.
- 19:34Let's assume that that in front of you there are three options
- 19:37really. A central door it looks worming
- 19:40wooden door. And on both sides there are open
- 19:42L codes that lead deeper into the church.
- 19:44What do you guys do? There's just.
- 19:45A big door there. There's like, yeah, there's a
- 19:47worm eating wooden door and then on both sides open L codes that
- 19:50lead deeper. Can I peek through that door
- 19:53real quick? Yeah.
- 19:54You. You.
- 19:55Kind of pop up to this door. You kind of give it a crack to
- 19:57see what's inside before what's inside could potentially see
- 20:00you, whatever it might be. But immediately as you crack
- 20:03this door, you notice this rotting stink, this bubbling
- 20:06sound from as you open the door, you notice there's a font on the
- 20:09opposite wall in the rear wall of this room.
- 20:12The walls are splattered with that same sludge, but there's a
- 20:16single person kneeling at this font, and he's rubbing this
- 20:21sludge from the font into his eyes.
- 20:23I'm going to. Push the door slowly open and
- 20:25and walk in. OK.
- 20:30Sir, could you maybe help? You turns to you and you see
- 20:34that his eyes are like just his yellow, like jaundiced but
- 20:38beyond jaundiced, still rubbing this this shit in his eyes.
- 20:42Give me a reaction role. It's a 2D6, and we're going to
- 20:45have you add 1 to the fact that you approach they're relatively
- 20:49calmly 65. 6. 5711 He looks at you, kind of wiping this shit
- 20:56directly out of his eye. He's looking around.
- 21:01He's just kind of like, kind of shocked.
- 21:03A little bit taken aback. Are you the?
- 21:05Only one here or? Oh no, not at all.
- 21:10You are very excited. Yes.
- 21:12Give me a give me a presence test.
- 21:13Dr. 14 is talking to you. Jesus.
- 21:17Fuck, I got 5 on the. Dice so.
- 21:19OK, so as he's talking to you, you're kind of getting a good
- 21:22taking in what you're seeing and what sticks out to you, you're
- 21:26almost fixated on it is as he's talking, you see it, 'cause he's
- 21:29been rubbing this shit in his eyes, There's just like, you
- 21:31know, we're going to get. Pink eye from that Oh yes.
- 21:35And he you see this like there's some sludge being, like, mashed
- 21:38by his eyelid that's just fucking grossing you out.
- 21:40It's frothing and you will just start vomiting.
- 21:44I vomit. Yeah, so he says he's got a
- 21:46sickening gaze. One creature must test presents,
- 21:49Dr. 14, or become incapacitated with vomiting until the end of
- 21:53their next turn and become infected.
- 21:56You are, so don't worry about that.
- 21:57But you are vomiting still, 'cause I imagine that's
- 21:59mentally, that's fucking with you, You know what I mean?
- 22:00He's puking up. Bone chips, you'll get the.
- 22:02Incapacitation. But as you do that he just
- 22:05immediately taken aback like offended by what you've done and
- 22:09he you can tell that he's. I'm sorry, it's your.
- 22:12Eye it looks like a festering. Asshole.
- 22:16You see his face changed from wonder and and confusion and
- 22:19excitement to to rage as he draws this Mace from his belt.
- 22:23You see, this thing's like it clearly has something to do with
- 22:26what they're doing. It's got this weird bulbous head
- 22:29on it, and it looks like it's to be made of some kind of
- 22:32hemorrhoid, some kind of rubber or something.
- 22:33You're not entirely sure it's the.
- 22:35Outlining of the sphincter, maybe?
- 22:38But you notice it's spiked with nails, so that is pissed.
- 22:42Give me initiative voice. One so.
- 22:47So he charges at you. I bet he does with this with his
- 22:50Mace and swings it at you. Give me your gear 12 agility and
- 22:53you are incapacitated with vomiting?
- 22:55Sure am. I feel like you can't do
- 22:57anything about it. So that being the case, take D6
- 23:00damage. Minus your armor of course.
- 23:04Heavy one. OK, so take two down 4, -, 2.
- 23:08He's not doing good. Standing here in the North X
- 23:11watching this happen. I'm not.
- 23:14I'm actually not. At all.
- 23:16Son of a bitch. I turned down to the little man,
- 23:18like when Toddward walked up and started peeking at the door.
- 23:21So, like, no, dude. Like, just.
- 23:24I want to know that, like, Jake's ridiculousness is
- 23:26happening in the background. Yeah, I'd.
- 23:28Like to say, so yeah, this is probably happening the time that
- 23:31that was happening. Yeah, I'm.
- 23:32Sure that this is not going to have any bearing on
- 23:35conversations we have in the future.
- 23:38What the fuck are you all about? Me.
- 23:41Yeah, I'm kissed. By the sun.
- 23:45What the fuck does that mean if bright Lord?
- 23:51The fuck is a bright? I don't know.
- 23:53Where he came from, I don't know where Todd Ward's vomit is
- 23:57coming from. Right skeletons, I am.
- 24:02Also here. I just.
- 24:06Shouldn't we just, like, go help him?
- 24:08Then I'm currently I am trying to like wrestle this Mace from.
- 24:13Are you? Yeah.
- 24:13OK, well shit. Dorian.
- 24:15However, though, you are incapacitated until the end of
- 24:18the next turn. So this first turn of
- 24:19initiative. Ohh, I'm just getting.
- 24:21Clobbered, yeah. You guys having this?
- 24:23Conversation while I'm getting clobbered, yeah.
- 24:25As we miss like should we help him?
- 24:27Just bam. It's another time.
- 24:29Another time where I just turned to Tommy and fucking shrug,
- 24:33Yeah. Tommy wasn't paying attention.
- 24:36He was staring at the gold chandelier like, oh, that would
- 24:38look. Nice in the arch, so it's
- 24:39fucking. I definitely would.
- 24:44I love. I love going from a team of just
- 24:46like complete assholes to one of just nobody can even pay
- 24:51attention. Everyone's got their own.
- 24:52Thing going on now. So it is.
- 24:54Our turn then, yes, it is. Yes, everybody.
- 24:57Everybody with Todd. Word I'm still throwing up.
- 24:58He's still throwing up, yeah. Just shut the door on me.
- 25:01It's fine. I got to think that you're
- 25:03you're in the, you probably like you open the door.
- 25:05You didn't really go in that I might say.
- 25:07I walked in. Did you OK, yeah.
- 25:08So the door, the door is open. Yeah.
- 25:10You see him fighting him in that, it makes sense.
- 25:12For me to go in first, OK, I'll go and go try to stab this dude
- 25:16in the neck with this fucking Halbert.
- 25:19Keep keep in mind. This room is is very small.
- 25:21It's big enough for that dude and and Todd word.
- 25:25But another guy gets in there it's gonna get very cramped.
- 25:26So but keep in mind that you have a long weapon you can
- 25:29probably stab through all. So I went.
- 25:30For it, instead of trying to shoot, what are we in?
- 25:33The fucking confessional? Well, it's a.
- 25:35Chapel, it's a really small. If you saw the the map is very
- 25:37small, it's Yeah, we must be. In the confessional strength.
- 25:40No that. Comes to all of our.
- 25:42Shits back, Back to coming. Up. 17. 17 OK, that hits for
- 25:48sure. Seven damage.
- 25:50Seven damage minus D2. He does have the same rib skin
- 25:54that you're seeing on a lot of these cultists 2 set for. 55
- 25:56damage. OK, that's wonderful.
- 25:58He's still alive. He's very bloody because you
- 26:00stabbed him in the in the neck, the midsection, right?
- 26:03Are you going for it? I was going for the neck.
- 26:05So I was like just. Like, right between the bones of
- 26:08the clavicle. You got him right.
- 26:09In the clavicle, thank you, you just slice way through that.
- 26:12You see him, like gushing blood out of that area, but he's still
- 26:14going. He's very mad though.
- 26:16Yeah, of. Course he's mad.
- 26:17He's Ed Wynn hanging out in here, fucking rubbing shit in
- 26:20his eyes. He's.
- 26:22That's what I do. That's true I.
- 26:25Think that's you. Guys, yeah, Tom's going.
- 26:27To run. Over and see that there's no
- 26:29room for him to get in there. So he's just going to either
- 26:33wait for the pink eye to run out or, I don't know, let everyone
- 26:37else take care. Because you know, there's no
- 26:39reason to have the whole room clouded up with people.
- 26:42I I probably. Wouldn't stand back as well if
- 26:43it was getting clogged. All right.
- 26:45Anyway, what about we that we that's going?
- 26:46To line up a shot, jam is is shit.
- 26:51Stick in the closet there and kind of stir it around a bit.
- 26:54We're going. To the same.
- 26:56We're going to do the same, Yeah, yeah, because of the
- 26:58clogged thing, A5 or lower hits the honey.
- 27:00I am so. Close to dying, I.
- 27:02Oh, are you? I'm going to open.
- 27:03That 40 Gosh. Go open.
- 27:06That God damn. Yeah.
- 27:09That's a. That's a four.
- 27:10God damn. It so Toddler and Screech are
- 27:15both in the doorway. We're going to call it AD 2.
- 27:18Yep, D211. It's Toddler 2 with Screech
- 27:20that. Is A2.
- 27:25Screech. You're taking damage EA Damage
- 27:28minus. Screech's armor 2 minus.
- 27:34One for. I started to.
- 27:38Think that Raymond is not so friendly.
- 27:41Hey you guys. Remember what you guys did to
- 27:42Fisk? Just just keep that in mind
- 27:48maybe. Maybe I am the problem I'm.
- 27:52I'm not. Quite convinced.
- 27:54I'm not quite convinced that you're on our side, friend.
- 27:58Take another shot at. Rub it in your eyes and you'll
- 28:03see the truth, he says. That you guys are fighting him?
- 28:07I puke in his mouth. That puts us just to the tiny
- 28:15little weird man, I. Don't feel like you do anything.
- 28:18He just don't have the. Crazy.
- 28:20Typical Levi. Move I mean.
- 28:22I. Do.

- 28:29Question what is your class? I am playing the Sun Scorch,
- 28:33Zilock, your father. Sun Scorch Salad.
- 28:34Just like Rumble was you're one point.
- 28:36You're a bomb in our. Previous Cold to death?
- 28:38Yeah, show. Don't like that?
- 28:41And what? The one power I rolled was the
- 28:43sun, The sun, the sun, the sun. So I'm not going to use it.
- 28:47That's fair. That makes sense.
- 28:48OK, cut your HP in half. Fucking bad.
- 28:51Other other kill everybody. In the room?
- 28:52Yeah. Kill everybody. 2D10 OK.
- 28:55Then that gives us back to initiative again. 4.

- 29:07That hits wonderful. That is a nine, OK?
- 29:10That's a lot of damage. -2 for seven Tell me about it.
- 29:14I stabbed this. Dude in the neck or in the
- 29:16clavicle before and then we Mitt shoots me right in the back and
- 29:20I turn and I look at him. I turn back.
- 29:22I stabbed this dude in the eye and I just leave it there to
- 29:25fall and just start walking back to we Mitt and slowly kind of
- 29:28start hunching over a little bit again.
- 29:30Oh God. Oh, you're going?
- 29:30Back to had to form. We've been here for a.
- 29:33Year for years, for hours. Now at this point, yeah, I would

- 31:01I mean, he's. Got the Mace?
- 31:02Yep. Yep.
- 31:03Actually, he's got that Mace, that ceremonial Mace.
- 31:05And if you were a normal person looking at it like a VR, or
- 31:09maybe you would, you would see a plunger.
- 31:14Nice. Figured.
- 31:16Well, as I was saying, I know I put together in my mind with the
- 31:18ceremonial ceremonial Mace. Looks like I'm like this is a
- 31:21plunger in my head. That's what I was coming up with
- 31:24anyway. You trying to look this guy?
- 31:25Yeah, you find that. But as you dig through his
- 31:27pockets, give me a D6661. Finds.
- 31:30That much silver on him? Damn.
- 31:32Hooray, that's actually. Like, one of the better things
- 31:34you can find on that list is the silver.
- 31:36Yeah, that's the time, man. OK if I got to.
- 31:38Like, pull the Hellberg out of this guy's skull while he's
- 31:40doing that, Todd. Wood.

- 32:13stop, play. Screech.
- 32:15I. I suppose it's my.
- 32:17Fault, my fault, my. It's our fault we both got
- 32:20involved in it. It's it's whatever.
- 32:22But I'll be nicer to screech if you find.
- 32:25More that are definitely not poisonous.
- 32:27Poisonous. I'll test him on the and I look
- 32:30at the strange little man that's joined us.
- 32:32Never mind, never mind. I can't tell if he's smarter or
- 32:35not, but I've got you. I've got you.
- 32:37And I kind of like, I kind of just hunch over, like kind of
- 32:40get on my haunches there and then put my hand on the
- 32:41shoulder. And I was.
- 32:43Like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sorry.
- 32:47And I grabbed the stick and I just.
- 32:49I walk out all Tarzan style pull through.
- 32:51And watch as you guys have this conversation and he points to
- 32:54both of you guys and then puts his two fingers together.
- 32:57I push him over, except for he. Slips like, a lot.
- 33:04He's like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, take the minute to go
- 33:06down. Yeah, But he does falls right on
- 33:08his side and you hear a crunch. What's that?
- 33:10Mace do D6. Damage.
- 33:12I leave it. There, OK.
- 33:14He's like, this is a fucking. Toilet plunger with nails in it.

- 33:20But it's a pleasure. Wonderful.
- 33:22So what do you guys do? Yeah, we've been going to walk
- 33:25over and collect that plunger, OK?

- 33:47yeah, it looks like a good bucket.
- 33:48Get about, get about 20 for it. Chips, plate chips, plate chips.
- 33:52To Telford gear still look. Nice though, in the arch rogues.
- 33:56Should we keep moving? We could.
- 33:59Or we could just stay here and admire the view of that one
- 34:02night. No, that.
- 34:04Don't get it. Twisted.
- 34:04That's coming home with us. He's coming home with us, OK?
- 34:07How do you How do we get? Faces hit.
- 34:09I'm taking that. Fair enough.
- 34:10How are you? Planning on taking that out.
- 34:13It's not like we found a fucking ladder out yet.
- 34:16Actually, it's. Preaching very pretty quiet.
- 34:20He's right, it is. But you still have.
- 34:22To bring it with us, With us, that sounds.
- 34:25Like a me problem, not you Skelly friend.
- 34:27Skelly friend. Yeah, that's a good point.
- 34:28It's about. The diameter of We Might Shield
- 34:31of Faith and you should on it. Oh yeah, actually pretty much
- 34:35everything has some some years of it.
- 34:36Yeah. Everything needs a good cost.
- 34:38Interesting, is it? I'll, I'll take a peek around
- 34:42one of them. Alco, as you were talking about.
- 34:44Yeah, yeah, you look. Through and you realize as you
- 34:46look through that the other one leads to the same room.
- 34:49Because you see the other doorway.
- 34:50You know, as you do, but you see shin high reeking slurry.
- 34:53Just liquid. Shit, I just.
- 34:55Fucking walk through it. You do?
- 34:56Yeah, it. Squelches, as you do.
- 34:58Give me. Just give me a coin flip.
- 35:01OK. Yeah.
- 35:04Give. Me AD 40.
- 35:05No. 2. You notice as you walk into this
- 35:09room too, that there are five these the same cultists that you
- 35:13guys interrogated, those kind of dudes.
- 35:15You know, you see a couple, more than five of them specifically
- 35:18just writhing around in this slurry, just, you know, doing
- 35:21their what the fuck they're doing.
- 35:22But they're just having a great time.
- 35:24They're just gentlemen, They. Doing the worm, yes.
- 35:28Actually, yeah, they're just doing the work now.
- 35:32Yeah, yeah. You notice too rank filth just
- 35:34dripping from the ceiling and pooling on the on the floor,
- 35:37smearing onto the the pillars in this really large room.
- 35:40Actually, it looks like this is the nave of the Chapel, about a
- 35:44dozen or so pillars lying this pretty long chamber.
- 35:47You notice as well that there is an open L Cove to the northeast
- 35:51corner. And again you're facing north as
- 35:52you come in in the northeast corner and open Elk Cove to the
- 35:55east, a solid wooden door in the southeast corner across from
- 35:59that open Elk Cove, another wooden door and then in the
- 36:02southeast and southwest corners near you, both those open elk
- 36:07coves leading. I just want a reading at the
- 36:08door you walk through to the very West side of double wooden
- 36:11doors. So the recap northeast and
- 36:14southeast corners have two different an open Elk Cove and a
- 36:17wooden door. There's a wooden door to the
- 36:19east and a double wooden door to the West I.
- 36:21Would like to spend a power. To do that twist of the.
- 36:24Arm to who? To these gentlemen.
- 36:27OK, I'm gonna. I'm getting there.
- 36:30What are you trying? To do yeah, why as we walk.
- 36:33Into this weird pool of shit and all the wriggling arriving.
- 36:37Yeah. Hello.
- 36:38Hello. We're from the other shit
- 36:40church. You're here to speak.
- 36:43Your priest. Your priest.
- 36:45The one of them, a lot of them like kind of slow down their
- 36:48wriggling and kind of just like it's almost.
- 36:50Nice moves. Kids in like a wading pool, how
- 36:53they would swim in there, they're pretty much doing that
- 36:54kind of thing. And one of that since 92, right?
- 36:57I know how you feel. One of them just kind of like
- 37:00submerges entirely, stands up out of the water, straight up
- 37:04out of the slurry. Rather not water.
- 37:05There's another. There's another, yes, another
- 37:07church. Yes, like this one.
- 37:09It sure is. I can't.
- 37:11Can you take me? I cannot.
- 37:12Can you take all of us? Yes.
- 37:14We will all go, but I first I need to know what is behind all
- 37:18of these doors other. Rooms, of course.
- 37:25All kinds of things. But you'd like to find out,
- 37:28wouldn't you? Well, you're not going to.
- 37:33Well, can you at least tell us where your your high priest is?
- 37:37Oh God. The same place where you can go
- 37:39fuck yourself. God damn it, that's a waste.
- 37:46Of a power. Oh, that's where you use the
- 37:47power to do that. It's up to.
- 37:49You if if it works or not I feel.
- 37:52Like. You did come up with a pretty
- 37:54good idea, yeah. He.
- 37:56Seemed like he was believing me, but then he told me to fuck off.
- 37:59Oh, no, it was. It was when you were asking
- 38:01about like, hey, now where's your boss?
- 38:03It's like the counterpoint. Though, like, legitimately, how
- 38:06many other churches of shit are in this town, exactly?
- 38:10Probably a lot. Or maybe none.
- 38:11Hard to say. Yeah, I mean.
- 38:13That's hard to say. Is the part that the part that
- 38:16makes it a valuable look I. Understand.
- 38:18You want to, you know, push us around in the shit and have fun
- 38:21and fun. Yes.
- 38:21Join us. Yes, it.
- 38:22Would. Be very nice, but we've traveled
- 38:25very far many oceans. We've delivered shit to many
- 38:29people he gets. Really close to you like pulling
- 38:31your collar in. I have how far from where smell
- 38:36my. Smoking jacket.
- 38:37It smells. Like shit.
- 38:38It's glorious. I get.
- 38:42I could just get close enough to take their faces and push them
- 38:44apart a little bit and then clap my hands twice very, very
- 38:48quietly and then step back again.
- 38:51He just looks at Screech confusedly.
- 38:53I I stare with malice. He is.
- 38:56He is. He just kind of like, he stares
- 38:59back, but there's just like no, like discernible, like the
- 39:03motion in his eyes. Like you're like, I don't know
- 39:05how to read Screech. He's become one with the shit,
- 39:09yeah, the Fest 39 has taken over, if you know of time.
- 39:14He's got the, got the. I'll be back.
- 39:18I need to that reminds. Me.
- 39:20It's break time. Coming soon to Kickstarter.
- 39:46An ancient forest, An ensemble of lost souls, a spiteful curse.
- 39:53This place has been desecrated 10 new classes, even more cursed
- 40:01relics, a forest hex crawl, hordes of withered creatures,
- 40:07and much more. Welcome back to Flail to the
- 40:30Face. So you guys are talking to these
- 40:35five worm cultists who are getting a little agitated, a
- 40:38little confused. Everybody's a little agitated
- 40:39and confused. What about?
- 40:40His powers about his. Powers All right, how is that
- 40:43going to handle you? You feel like these guys were
- 40:46going to jump you? Like there's a little bit of
- 40:48sketchiness from way that they're covered in.
- 40:50Shit, right it's. Going to be slippery You never
- 40:53you never had part of the. Shit.
- 40:55Part of the crew, part of. The shit part of the crew.
- 41:00But oh God, it feels like your persuasiveness is kind of
- 41:05holding in that Bay. It's not terrible.
- 41:07Not. Bad.
- 41:08Definitely better than it could be.
- 41:10Look how. About you boys, just continue
- 41:11your shit writhing while the rest of us go look for the high
- 41:15priest. The high priest or priest.
- 41:16Sorry it's been a long day. My nasal cavity is full of shit.
- 41:20Shit. So you continue.
- 41:24Your play things and you'll be on our way, all right?
- 41:27But if you want to join us, you will be he just swan dies into

- 41:32My head at him. Right, boys?
- 41:34Alright, boys. I leave them, leave them to be
- 41:37preoccupied now. Occupied now store.
- 41:39So as, yeah, as you guys look around, you see in the middle of
- 41:42this room kind of where you're standing, there's a almost like
- 41:46a little, it's like a booth in the middle of this room.
- 41:48It could be a confessional of some sort or something along
- 41:50those lines. There's a little ringer.
- 41:51Bell on there, little dinger. Bell, No, but there.
- 41:53There's a big heavy door and it looks it looks saturated.
- 41:56Also, in the further north in this room you notice that there
- 41:59is another confessional type room as well, about twice the
- 42:02size of the one that just described.
- 42:04Again, again, there are doors to your your east and to your West.
- 42:08And also in the Let's slap. That W door open real quick the
- 42:11double. Doors.
- 42:12Yeah. OK, yeah.
- 42:13So you you walk over to those double doors, you give them a
- 42:16push, and you notice that you're outside.
- 42:19It's an exterior door. Oh, I shut.
- 42:21The door. Yeah, Well, wrong door.
- 42:24Wrong door. Like.
- 42:26Outside. Outside.
- 42:28No, no like. Outside into this arena shaped
- 42:30chasm. You know what I mean with all
- 42:31the worms outside of the building, outside of the outside
- 42:34of the church. In this case, yeah, let's.
- 42:37Try the east door, I suppose, walking.
- 42:39Across the hall. Shit.
- 42:41Yeah, you. You get to this E door.
- 42:44You open this wooden door and immediately the stench of sweat
- 42:48just watches over you. This dim light does as well.
- 42:51And also you notice that the sludge is a little little
- 42:54shallower here. It's only ankle high.
- 42:55Wow, I. Like it in here better already
- 42:57you notice? That this seems to be a a
- 43:00sleeping area of some sort. There's like shit covered piles
- 43:04of garbage that these guys are completely sleeping and you you
- 43:08can assume that they're sleeping on these things because of the
- 43:09way that they're just like indented, you know, and like
- 43:12they've been sleeping on them. Fortunately though, no, nobody's
- 43:14present in this room. But you do notice that to the
- 43:17north there is a wooden door at the end of this.
- 43:19This is a relatively narrow, long room sleeping in a row, a
- 43:23wooden door on the north, and then a a stone door directly in
- 43:27front of you across the room. Well, I would.
- 43:31I would like to continue N into the depths of this place I want
- 43:35to. Say we seem to be on the right
- 43:36track. You already found a room that
- 43:38smells better than everywhere else.
- 43:39I'll check the. Other door.
- 43:40The one. Across the hall or the one?
- 43:42On the north, the one, the one the stone.
- 43:45Door across from you or the wooden door on the north, the
- 43:47opposite of what I'm going. North, OK, so.
- 43:49Yeah, Todd, word's going north, You're going east.
- 43:50OK, So both of you guys open up your doors respectively.
- 43:53And you notice again these are exterior doors much like the one
- 43:56across went to. But Todd word you notice as you
- 43:59open this, you're not seeing just like The Cave, like the
- 44:02other door you opened was you're seeing another section of of
- 44:05this Chapel across from you and there is another door.
- 44:09I'm going. To turn to the group and gesture
- 44:11for them to follow me, we're. Right behind you.
- 44:13OK all. Right you.
- 44:14Can you Can you guys all head out this N door, that top word
- 44:18opened, and walk across the exterior to this other door and
- 44:22find yourselves in another section of the church reeking
- 44:26slurry beneath rows of wooden pews?
- 44:29This mournful wailing is heard in this room, and splinters of
- 44:32shattered wood litter the place entirely.
- 44:34Give me AD two, anybody. I point at Jake all the time.
- 44:37But anybody do it, I'll do it because of my your angle.
- 44:40I'm Jake. I'm always talking directly to
- 44:42Jake. A1 OK, A1 Good.
- 44:44OK, you not entirely sure where this, this mournful antiphon is
- 44:49coming from, but there are shattered and splintered pews
- 44:52cluttering this space, forming like a makeshift barricade
- 44:55against one of the walls of this room up to the north, actually
- 44:58in the center. Like it's keeping something.
- 45:00In there maybe? Yeah, perhaps you're not
- 45:02entirely sure what exactly is behind the barricade, but it's
- 45:04clearly a built barricade. Now, this room is is wide and
- 45:08and short, you know what I mean? So it's wider to the east to the
- 45:11West than it is north to South, you know what I mean?
- 45:13But also in this room you're finding behind that barricade as
- 45:15you guys are kind of getting your bearings of the room.
- 45:17You notice the silk flap and it seems to be covered with this
- 45:21writhing worms, and I'm intrigued.
- 45:24Yeah, also. On the northeast of this room,
- 45:27it seems like there's a small wooden door hanging off and
- 45:29hanging on its hinges well. Don't just stand there,
- 45:32everybody. Let's take this barricade down
- 45:35and I'd start moving some of the stuff.
- 45:37What? See what's back behind that That
- 45:39silk as. Soon as you yeah.
- 45:40As soon as you go to grab some of these pieces of wood, you
- 45:43hear this rustling through all of this broken pews and another
- 45:47one of those giant worms in the hallway 'cause one get out of
- 45:51it. It's just breaching.
- 45:52Like like Free Willy and Real initiative, boys.
- 45:57Fucking fucking well Shit worms are hungry.
- 46:03Six. It's us.
- 46:04It's you. Yep.
- 46:04What are you guys going to do? You have a moment to react?
- 46:07I throw. The piece of whatever furniture
- 46:09I have in my arms I like. That OK.
- 46:11So First off, test strength to do that great normal DR12.
- 46:16So that's funny. Oh my.
- 46:18God grab a. Chunk of Broken Pew that's made
- 46:20into this barricade and you just whip it at the worm.
- 46:23We're going to call that makeshift damage, of course.
- 46:25So DD422 damage. OK, -2 -?
- 46:30D Two do. Do I get bonus damage or some
- 46:33four damage? Yeah.
- 46:33So. He takes 2.
- 46:34Damage from that furniture he takes 4.
- 46:36Damage minus the D2 and his armor breaks.
- 46:39Yep, that's. Actually true his rib skin.
- 46:40It busts right through it. Actually this clarifies because
- 46:43I'm looking at a different stab block of the same murder worm on
- 46:46a different page and it says rib skin minus D2.
- 46:50So therefore it should all. I feel like whenever there's a
- 46:52thing that's not that's deviating from the normal, we
- 46:55just go with what it should be, You know what I mean?
- 46:57Anyway, he. Took two, He took two.
- 46:58Damage. OK, that's that's not bad.
- 47:00You whip this broken two out of them, it shatters, and you
- 47:02notice a lot of these fragments just right into his rib skin,
- 47:05creating this huge range. Take that.
- 47:09Who's that? Who's next?
- 47:10Hide behind. Screech.
- 47:13Wow. Cowardly.
- 47:16Seeing. That the the worm can be
- 47:17damaged. Tommy's going to run up with
- 47:19this tomahawk and try to go for the the open wound and open it
- 47:24up more. Love it do.
- 47:25It, yeah, Double penetration actually.
- 47:27This is going to be ADR 10 to hit the worm.
- 47:29That's something. I don't know if it came up in
- 47:30the last one. I think you guys never had to
- 47:32ride that line really. Afterwards.
- 47:33I did, yeah. OK.
- 47:34So yeah, Dr. 10. I'm going to omen that 'cause I
- 47:37got AT OK. Nicole, could you?
- 47:39And that's a three, so, all right, so.
- 47:43You're trying. You're trying to hit the
- 47:44hatchet, but like, we're going to hit him with the hatchet, but
- 47:46you're just hitting the ribs of what's left of his armor.
- 47:49Not that there's anything left of it, but enough to not do
- 47:51anything, do it and pissing it off.
- 47:54We met Screech and the new guy who doesn't have a name yet.
- 47:58I. Have a name.
- 48:00We Met's going to go ahead and fire a crossbow bolt.
- 48:03Do it. Yeah, I got a 4A4.
- 48:08No fucking way. I'm.
- 48:11On my third D20 tonight, I like. I like how this keeps happening
- 48:15and then we keep doing it. The thing is, in this situation,
- 48:18I mean, Tommy is up there in melee.
- 48:20I feel like Tommy is the one who's in danger here.
- 48:22No, he just turns around and. Aims at me.
- 48:25Yeah, like the worms over there. Over there, No.
- 48:30So Tommy, you're going to take the D8 damage minus your armor
- 48:33Legitimately kill either? Of you, you could roll.
- 48:36The two oh God, save this life. I'm glad.
- 48:40You're rolling shit, yeah. That's a great place we got.
- 48:42The -2 for my my best. OK, you.
- 48:45Could negate it entirely, yeah. Negated Oh.
- 48:47My God, that thing. Whizzes that.
- 48:50That bold whizzes over your fucking shoulder.
- 48:53It's totally the lighting in here.
- 48:57I thought you were shooting. At Todd what?
- 48:59I peek around the screech. Don't you dare fucking aim that
- 49:02thing at me. Screech already.
- 49:03Warned you about Hermione. I don't quite know what that
- 49:09means. Oh, if I have a bit screech, go
- 49:13ahead. Story and thank you.
- 49:18OK, whatever. You I'll yeah, I'll get up and I
- 49:22don't know if I'll get up in that business to be honest.
- 49:24They're pretty devastating. I do.
- 49:26Have the bow for a reason and I could do that.
- 49:29What are you? What are you weird?
- 49:31Little light, man. What is your fucking?
- 49:34Name. What do you do right?
- 49:36What are you doing right? Now what do you look like?
- 49:38Like we haven't seen you in an actual fight or anything.
- 49:41Yeah, he's done. Nothing with some weird things
- 49:43like an 8 year old. Boy in in a Knight's costume.
- 49:46That's what I imagine I feel like.
- 49:48He's just for Halloween. He's just wrong.
- 49:50I'm just here. He's just like a wrong.
- 49:52He's just wrong. I.
- 49:53I might help, but I mean I. Mean you just What do you look
- 49:56like? Are you sitting there just
- 49:57shaking? Are you staring off into the mid
- 49:59distance spanking it in the? Corner What are you doing?
- 50:02What are you doing? I I guess I will take out my
- 50:06broad axe and do what? Was it?
- 50:08Do. I spit shines.
- 50:10It. It's 1230.
- 50:16Oh, no, IMAX. Man Sword.
- 50:18Guy No. Oh no.
- 50:21I I. Guess he would go and attack the
- 50:24worm, OK. She runs up with his bats rod.
- 50:27Axe. And broadly hits it.
- 50:30Go ahead, give me that Dr. 10 strength.
- 50:32Just use. The something?
- 50:33Yeah, then. You're all toast.
- 50:35Buttered. Literally, Can you imagine this?
- 50:37I literally. Could kill everyone here with
- 50:39that burning corpses. And shit burning.
- 50:41Literally, I have no idea what that smells like and I don't
- 50:43want to know it's not. Great.
- 50:44Nice. I'm sure.
- 50:45Nice touch. That's a.
- 50:46Twelver, that is a. Twelver.
- 50:48That's a hitter. Nice.
- 50:49All right, give me the damage. Take AD Sixer.
- 50:52That's two. That's 2 -.
- 50:53D. Two.
- 50:54I thought his armor broke. Oh, sorry.
- 50:55I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- 50:57Yep. OK, so you hit it.
- 50:59You got him right in the open wound and then I'm going to
- 51:01back. Up.
- 51:04To get out of the immediate range you don't want.
- 51:05To be the first the 1st. Person That's smart.
- 51:08Screecher is the only one left to go, I believe, yeah.
- 51:10I'll sidestep him with the Halberg while he's kind of
- 51:15backing up, and I'll go in for a stab on this creature as well.
- 51:19Make it happen Dr. 10. And I'll stay.
- 51:21Directly behind him the whole time, just like.
- 51:23With him shadowing. Him the 17, that's seven damage
- 51:287. Damage.
- 51:30Love it. Dorian's a Mosser.
- 51:33OK, it is its turn since you put him down at this point.
- 51:36Give me a morale test. D2D6, You're shooting for a nine
- 51:40or higher? Nope.
- 51:42OK, it's a six. It keeps on kicking.
- 51:45Who's in melee range you say that you're not.
- 51:48Yep. Tommy definitely is women.
- 51:49Never is Screech. You kind of are.
- 51:53You did the most damage to it. You drew a egg roll, so I'm
- 51:55going to attack you. This makes sense.
- 51:57So this worm from that, from that slash you gave it, it
- 52:02recoils from it and lunges at you trying to give you that
- 52:05whole slam and devour thing. So give me Dr. No.
- 52:08It's weird that it's slow moving, so it's easy to hit, but
- 52:11it's not easy to have you. Played Souls game.
- 52:13That's a fair point. I played too much and not and
- 52:15not enough at the same time. So Dr. 12 Agility I use my omen
- 52:22right? Behind him, I use my omen.
- 52:24Yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense.
- 52:26There you go. Perfect.
- 52:28This thing lunges at you and you're not.
- 52:31Push them out of the. Way Yeah, Yeah.
- 52:32It's like it's like coming at you, like it's going to eclipse
- 52:35you, but then you you feel hard or just give you a little push,
- 52:40Enough of a nudge. That worms.
- 52:43We're brought out the sun, they kind.
- 52:45Of do and you guys both managed to maneuver just enough out of
- 52:48the way where this thing just collapses to the ground.
- 52:51Damn it. Dorian, Timing, timing, Dodge
- 52:53roll, and. Yeah, yeah.
- 52:56And give me initiative, Levi. I appreciate the iframes.
- 53:01Yes, we cannot. Face tank this one.
- 53:03And the two on the dice, So that is the worm again.
- 53:06The worm stands back up again and it goes for another one of
- 53:09these at Screech. OK.
- 53:11So DR12 Agility. Yeah, I got you.
- 53:14Oh yeah. Again, you just you see it
- 53:16coming. You know it's coming for you.
- 53:17It's kind of got it's locking eyes that if it didn't have them
- 53:20with you and you roll out of the way and yes you keep your hand
- 53:23raised I am. Right, there you are.
- 53:26I don't want to do this to myself, but do I also need a
- 53:29roll I feel? Like because of the fact you got
- 53:33to slam him down and he's noticing it to get out of the
- 53:35way, you are still there. So I I feel like you should,
- 53:37then yes, only because you brought it up.
- 53:39You know, If you didn't, we wouldn't have been doing that.
- 53:40But you get a fucking nice. You get a, you get a What do you
- 53:48call that Perry caught on? Perry.
- 53:49But Perry? Robust, robust, I said.
- 53:52Robust. Robust.
- 53:54Robusty you totally get to. Robust there.
- 53:58Rigatoni repasta? Yes.
- 54:01I lit the Fed of tea well. After watching Dorian fucking
- 54:04step out of the way, I'm just going to stick my sword up like
- 54:07and and cower a little bit. I like it.
- 54:10Yeah, 16. Word dice.
- 54:12So beautiful. Yeah, this thing lands on your
- 54:15blade. Give me damage D8, OK.
- 54:18Damn. Where is.
- 54:18That fucking it's a flat. D8 too You got no armor left?
- 54:20Yeah. Where's?
- 54:21The shrill 2. D fours and that we can do that
- 54:25I will. You can't 'cause you can't roll
- 54:26one. What I promise.
- 54:27I don't where's the fucking this.
- 54:28One I don't. See.
- 54:29Oh, there it is. It looks like another four.
- 54:34I use my old man to Max damage. OK.
- 54:36Auto Transparency, I will say that that's you don't need to.
- 54:39There you go. OK, and then to tell you why you
- 54:42rolled the two on damage. He has no armor and two hit
