• we will return to the cheesesteak subplot later in the episode or i could try to sneak away with my 20 in stealth hero point male versions of martin that's our martin chicken chucky is not guarding the edge you like your coffee a little irish it feels like you need it what's in irish i thought you were druish we're not making it out of this episode guys are we ready to play some welcome back everyone to another exciting episode of rut grind this is our awesome pathfinder second edition live play show and brought to you by the amazing people over on patreon at patreon.com forward slash uh i said it wrong patreon.com forward slash narrative declaration along with all the amazing people who watch it's you even though you might not be able to contribute you know and stuff like patreon subbing on twitch being a membership on youtube and stuff like that get the vods early and all that other fun stuff just watching and spreading the word is one of the best ways to help us out letting people know on various forums online places or just wherever your circles are just going like hey here's this funny little show with a bunch of amazing voice actors and actors and a bunch of people and artists who bust their butts off like like skelly's awesome art salty jobs awesome art amazing acting from all of our uh folks here and stuff like that and amazing game master from uh basically helps you know telling people that we exist really really helps out but of course you want something more physical we have a merch shop at narrative declaration dot shop uh basically you too can pick yourself up a like like a rock ring shirt rock ring shirts or maybe like a narrative declaration cup and we should at some point get some enamel pins and keychains there just check the shop to see when it's available and keep tuned to our discord at discord.gg forward slash narrative declaration to stay tuned on all the fun stuff we're doing along with our announcements of like upcoming campaigns cool stuff we're doing and some exclusive stuff that we might show you all but of course none of this can happen without the amazing people who come together help make this go including the amazing players starting off with odo roshi hi hello it's me i'm odo today i will be bringing you veena the self swashbuckler and uh uh uh a bit over go to the next one the next one is hokey that's me i'm hokey crow and as always i'll be playing the conrasu cleric then of course we have the one make it a flip it's tanhauser well uh hi i'm speaker d and tanhauser it doesn't flip very often that's really more the realm of veena but uh tanhauser is a wizard and he's an android yeah it's yeah it's like that one guy who's like really excited to make you get a hero point yeah yeah i deserve it i deserve it overly excited kid 2006 counter-strike source map so yeah speaking of one getting headshots it's erendil no the fuck i'm not anyway i'm playing as uh i'm erendil and i'm playing as uh baldrick weathers the human alchemist he doesn't get headshots because that's not how this character works and even if it did that would be kind of funny because i do bonus damage by throwing a bomb at someone's head instead of you know that but you know that's fine counter-strike source let's play it now of course the one who's going to give us hero points is our game master thurston hillman hello thurston hillman hi he's going to give us hero points yeah yeah i think i will no promises though yay maybe oh maybe you're a good boy yeah you gotta work for those hero points i don't know if we've ever been good like i don't know what good is for us and of course i am your host what's a recap for a hero point i am your host for this evening i am zon the wizard uh i'm the one who'll be yelling very loudly to help and basically hope you guys support my friends so with that i guess someone could do a recap for hero point as i fix the bot that has broken as soon as i switch the scene giving me time to fix it again hmm hmm i i did the recap last time but i can redeem myself if i get a hero point you you could i'll even promise you the hero point this time and not just give it to speaker you will i don't have to hold speaker hostage i don't have to put a gun to his head and say thurston if you don't give me that hero point if you do put a gun to his head i'll give you two hero points wow hey what's that a serious knocking on my door oh hi roshi roshi yay i can't believe you're a little too energetic right now all right sure i'll do the recap i'll do the recap yeah yeah uh mostly because my notes for that session are a little bit funny because it starts with we're weeding we're meeting with the hegemon four question marks uh-oh we're going to his house is hegemon or gay does hegemon is gay really i wrote together a masterpiece the hero point slipping away from you no okay no no we did however go to the hegemon's house we were invited to an audience with him we went to his beautiful home which is this like palatial estate on this essentially elevated uh uh like disc almost with a grand pillar with a lot of stairs that we climbed for a long time and a grand villa overlooking the entire city uh we noticed that the house is very enchanted there are a lot of magical effects going on there and so we figured that it was probably best to not try to square up with him though we we thought about it uh yeah i can take him meeting with the hegemon he confessed to us that originally he did indeed want us dead that his attempts to uh uh end our lives were in earnest and indeed it was not an accident that he run he ran two of us over with a chainsaw car because he saw that we were fatefully tied to outset's destruction but now of course that our threads of fate has been severed he has decided that he is undecided as to what has been what should be done with us as the conversation continued on he started to reveal little things about himself that raised everybody's eyebrows including the fact that he was he had been around since the time of the prince and he really fucking hated that guy he was he was not a fan um and as the conversation continued on we were given the revelation that he is the beneficite a deity that the prince defeated long ago in outset's history to ascend to godhood the perfection that he had brought about had originally enslaved the people of outset's wills he confessed that he has been trying to remedy that mistake for the past 1500 years by not directly interfering in anything he has been quietly sitting back and watching everything unfold in outset and this uh this came as a bit of a surprise to the rest of the party as you may know and with this new revelation uh that this man was the beneficite the party huddled to discuss what the hell we do from here the man is functionally a god and he could prove to be a very uh very powerful patron one that could even provide a kind of sponsorship to make up for the fact that we no longer are operating on anti-drown second chances could have given you a red mushroom could have given me a red mushroom but you know it's fine we're good ultimately the party decided that they wouldn't take his sponsorship deal some were on board with him some really didn't like him some are conflicted but ultimately the decision we came to was that we would politely refuse his offer of sponsorship and go about grabbing our destiny ourselves and then we decided that we are going to go and steal Sandal Declan's fucking airship and that's the recap I don't know if I missed anything yay yay we made it we made it to the episode gang yeah but the but the hero point uh comes from Tannhauser no no right no I can't oh you know what Tannhauser take my hero point no I will not okay Thurston take another one away from him that's a good idea it's fair it's fair Tannhauser wasn't good fair is fair it's just like in the production studio like fuck you I can't keep turning off it on these zero points yes you can mister the problem is that my desk finally concaved in so I have like a temporary desk going on and so my other stream deck isn't here so I'm using the smaller one with audio knobs which is nice but they don't have enough buttons for the other setup I have so I'm figuring it out I believe I got it going on so uh basically this point Orr pops up and he feels much better now he's like he's like yeah fuck that guy anyway um we need to go take that air shit gang yeah fuck that guy yeah fuck that guy for real I hope he's in prison forever are we talking about Sandal Declan yes yeah fuck that guy yeah see that's what I'm saying put him high upon his stage and make him dance I don't think he has many talents I think he's just good at being a bad person anyone can have a talent Rua including dancing even someone as repugnant as Sandal Declan and then rick his arms off and legs off and face off see that's on Brad that's on Brad yeah I was going I wanted I wanted to give a little like I was really no I'm still you had me on the ropes there I did I'm a sixer since we're going over to now take care of the airship do should we start making plans do we do we have like a map or do we start drawing in the sand and thinking we have a map yes we should devise a plan of some sort ideally to obtain the airship Thurston I have an inquiry yes yes where the airship is stored is it a private location or is it like on a public air dock you would know enough that it would be in the Rook's Pilaster in what is essentially a a manufacturing district so it's it is an accessible like construction slash docking facility but it is heavily patrolled and guarded okay so it's it's a matter of us getting to it that's the issue but we could theoretically obtain a otherwise legal map of the area oh yeah yeah yeah absolutely in that case I would like to try and pursue that if at all possible using yeah what on earth should I use for this I guess trying to find someone who would vend a map for that but just did that be simple I thought I'd have to check society like yeah you don't have to like do a check for anything um too crazy here uh you can just spend some time the question I'm gonna have for your group is uh you can get a map where are you planning on like are you gonna stay at the hegemons or are you gonna go somewhere else to discuss this further what's the sort of next steps hegemons house is immune to scrying so I'm all for staying here yeah we're gonna turn down his offer then we're gonna have a sleepover with him we're still doing we're still doing what he wants ostensibly so like this is true we didn't say fuck you hegemon we're never going to do what you say we go off to do what he says this is true this is true we're just not taking his his very very obvious poison pill it's like that argument you have with people calling you like leave the room right now but you leave the room yeah yeah yeah I think staying with the hegemon despite our differences with the guy is probably the best chance we've got to not be singled out while we remain here I guess we don't have to look at him though do we I mean that's kind of up to you I would it'd be kind of hard not to look at him it kind of pops up wherever Mr. Tenhauser yes yes do you have some boogly bloop magic to kind of like look at places from afar no oh I get fucking told I got I got clairvoyance which is range of 500 feet for 10 minutes do you not have that spell in your book that you've always been carrying this entire time full of spells well what a delightfully innocent question allow me to point out to you in rather calm and non-pointed terms that I was recently given a volume of scrying spells and none of those spells were scrying itself and that is because scrying if I'm too if I'm if I'm not mistaken is a level higher than what I can cast at the moment oh no I just typed in path scrying path binder to double check that I'm not lying I heard you're typing I typed in scrying path normal normal yeah it's a it's a six level spell so I need to be able to six level spell until I can do that hold on hegemon do you have like a boss monster in the basement that we can fight real fast for a quick level you got a potion of light leveling up do you even experience potion can we just ask the hegemon has not been here this whole time give me one more level and my life is yours sorry go ahead no I was gonna say like if we're gonna ask the hegemon for things we may as well ask if he could just help us scry hey hegemon can you just unleash all the old gods all the old powers for us I have a question is this servant still around yeah yeah they're still mulling him out here Oren will bird hop over to one of them and go excuse me can I have a moment of your time yes hello would it be incredibly rude of me to ask something of you no I am here to serve excellent I like those words could you do you just a hegemon or somewhere in his vast library have plans of the city or like architect plans or anything something related to some of the dock areas in the what plaster was it I'm sorry I'm Steven barons the rucks and the rucks plaster we're looking to potentially gain an airship that would also be beneficial to the hegemon so we would like to try to look for some plans to try to you know kind of kind of stoke out the place without getting there first ah are you looking for a layout of the building as it was this week yes of course give me a moment I shall go and consult the records thank you your hair looks nice today thank you you're beautiful I can't see it so I appreciate when people tell me I just want to let you know thank you he hops back plans on the way that's right guys Oren is back he is so back guess who's back oh speaking of the hegemon I need to take the luminous dagger pistols out of my inventory that's right get rid of those get this out of here yeah you don't wait there's a moment I had a moment that's right so now I just have my regular dueling pistol that I've had in my pocket the whole time he did me in a moment nothing more OG than a Glock listen he hurt my he hurt my little buddy and nobody gets away with hurting Oren yeah he killed me exactly and he's still alive don't worry I'm gonna get him next please die hard soundtrack it's gonna be somewhere in here no we've done that bit we've done that bit already we can do it again for 20 can I roll actually I have a couple questions before I can roll anything is it reasonable to assume that we know what the model or class of the airship is given we came so close to obtaining in the past if you have crafting or anything airship related you can give me a check on it like he made an airship once as you may recall it was that dirigible very different thing you know some dirigibles could be airships it's an airship for ants no that was an airship for nobody roll your damn die yes I will with my specialty crafting shipbuilding nice I got 32 with a nine on the die so what you know is that on on time airships are each individual masterpieces so there isn't like a model or anything like that to base it off of each airship is genuinely its own sort of construct there's no standard template because they're all built to very specific needs and manners so you'd have enough to know it's not like this airship would be ah the Ludendorff variant or something like that this would be more of a size category so you know that this is like a a mid-sized airship meant to to carry a group of people and some amount of cargo like a yacht equivalent could I estimate a rough crew requirement uh yeah so based off of that these ships can often operate on fairly minimal crew um you guess as long as there is a pilot generally these things are fine so one person but if you want to operate you know potentially weapons if they're on board things like that then the crew complement would need to increase but as far as point a point b generally like one person just to fly the thing tanhouser tanhouser yes i know how you can learn more about the airships oh by going to the patreon.com for a airship pdf at some point how's that review going zoran how's that review of that document going actually pretty well I actually wrote some couple paragraphs and I have a character to send you I gotta stat block it out so hell yeah sorry for being a shill my bad keep going yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm so mad you're shilling this hard work that gets put into our pdfs so hold on a second I need to cancel my subscription to a patreon I can't pay you pay me my own you pay me exactly the amount that I donate to the patreon every month that's the most useless genius passing a $20 bill between each other forever yeah thanks for your hard work speaker really what was that bad like you owe me $10 here's the $10 oh here's this $10 oh here's your $5 back it's like that bit from the naked gun where he keeps passing oh yeah now baby that's a clear your mind anyway tanhouser explodes all right okay can everyone give me a reflex save no all right so without too much fuss as the the plan to get a map evolves from baldric will go out to walk on the street to get a map to or and goes and asks someone to tanhouser explodes eventually one of the servants does return with a map of the location so I think one sec here I'm just gonna do a little little configuration of the map here hide all the bosses okay this should work it should give you thank you to tell stories for the amazing map yeah gorgeous thank you yabee yay so what you what what is being seen here I for some reason and I think what I can do actually let me I might be able to adjust this for some reason I can't zoom out a lot on this and I think it's just because I don't have padding on the map so it's kind of hard to zoom out a lot on yeah give me a sec just to do that so we can get that all map padding normally I don't have to add map padding but for just the layer of this one it's yeah you know it's just a little bit I think this might update thing just tell me where you want the focus to be and I'll do my best yeah oh wow padding doesn't do anything okay I'm getting rid of the padding and then we'll just go like that okay cool all right cool yeah so you can tell that it's docked in an area that there's sort of two connecting points it has a primary bridge with some supply crates and then a secondary storage area with like a you know wooden crane and whatnot and various bridges that connect to the ship the ship itself is a fairly austere vessel prow all the way back to rear it's about give or take 200 feet in length and about 40 feet wide we love party boat yeah party boat one thing that is notable about it is the tree that grows out of it it is a strange purple leafed tree that kind of grows out of the back of the the vessel two sort of sets of branches protruding from the inside what are these what is the utility of having a tree grow out of your industrial equipment aesthetics or raises the hands it's a merging of the natural and the artificial it's perfect harmony let me tell you something there's nothing natural about an industrial project it should be full of metal and belching gas into the air such in no way that it's efficient why have a tree so they look pretty they're going to be shot off by enemy candidates unless they're flammable that would make sense yes perhaps if you light the light the leaves they increase the speed yes yes that would be perfect we must light it a flame what are you fucking talking about you're not hurting the tree mr tannhauser all right who kind of meekly covers himself off a little bit um yeah let's not do that to the tree please well i i have supposed democracy rules on this motion tannhauser have you uh gotten into something like that's giving you this energy no i've not i'm simply excited to get onto this airship though i suppose it would be remiss of me not to mention that i'm a bit nervous about our first foyer i you're scared of heights i'm not scared of heights we're going to golgotha hmm oh ah well at least you'll have your friends with you tanny yes but how much of you will remain once we're gone probably all of us probably yeah probably all of us if they blow off my arm we'll just make another one most of us i'm sure and i suppose if baldric gets all of his arms and legs cut off i can always replace them yeah sure i mean i was planning on just not having that happen but we'll take it as it goes i suppose let's just assume it's going to happen to you jesus dude can i get speaker can i get some f's in chat for bulgark's limbs or turns into his real self and he leans across the table to speaker dude are you okay today maybe i'm not dude i don't know i'm like i'm just playing if i'm here something's in your prescription today he just slipped you a little something i know what's wrong extra i didn't eat dinner today i'm hangry oh he's hangry when i get hungry i talk about cutting off everyone's arms and legs you need a chocolate bar that's brandon those pizza you need a snickles snickles satisfies i have placed the order for the cheesesteak we will return to the cheesesteak subplot later in the episode hey chat every donation today will be for me buying everyone here a pizza i don't want a pizza yeah this is my corporate way of giving you a pizza party let's go oh my god i've always wanted a pizza party are we just gonna are you going zoran are you going to mail one of us the pizza and say you can have two pieces yeah you have to keep shipping this globe trotting pizza around holy shit it's getting the contrast of like you guys get a get a pizza that you have to ship amongst yourselves and pay for that i have ordered myself a night i shall wear it thurston based on just pure logic you and hoki are getting it last he's ordering a pizza but only for the night it better fucking be pepperoni i don't want a pizza i already ate a good thank you the rest of us i already ate i made pasta okay uh so we're looking at the map and looking at the plans and stuff like that um yes or or or points i'll go like okay well uh i don't know i don't i've never stolen an airship before so miss vena how do we steal airship how do you steal it yeah i mean so long as you can get it unmoored start the engine and get somebody behind the wheel hold up you lost me what's a moor okay so long as you can get it unhooked from the dock is it like a fish you know like like well sort of just get the rope off of it and make sure that it's not tied to the dock anymore and then we can get someone behind the wheel and then so long as we get the engine running but this thing flies right it's not a car well it does need a wheel you need to steer it but it doesn't have bulls on it it's okay buddy take a second take a second to find it look at that brain cell you little bastard hold on it's there I promise the orange is not not understand the concept it's like you can't you can't the wheels go on wagons and and and and and it's okay let them cook let them cook it's okay buddy all right so yes so long as we can get it unmoored get everybody off of it get somebody behind the wheel and somebody at the engine chances are nobody can catch you and if they can we get somebody on the weapons whatever weapons this thing has I mean I'm sure it's no Papa Storm's crown but was that the name of your old ship yeah that was the name of my old ship it's a good name it's a good name thanks thanks it's uh anyway but our new vessel has no need for crowns in this in this it shall be superior in every way except for the fact that there are trees on it and we're gonna have to get over those trees brother I cannot promise you of that he has already gone gone the cave depot and has already bought a chainsaw just to get rid of it's gonna be the new pirate in the in the in the lower deck situation no wily coyote trying to cut out the tree orange constantly protecting the trees adding more foliage to it so with the map that we have we need to put some fun towards this that we're trying to do yeah my thought is it's best to go with a stealthy approach first we see if we can sneak on board and if we take control of it then pursuit is going to be exceptionally difficult so sorry didn't mean to interrupt oh no you're good so we just need to get on board earned I have an inquiry okay I imagine uh would I may I roll a I don't even know what I would do with this would this still be I guess it could be an upset law kind of thing but would there be an any sort of extra precaution to stop someone from simply unmooring a skyship and just leaving it's enough for you to know that okay so the thing here is is that because each ship is its own unique masterpiece you don't even know how this fucker's powered so even like starting up the engine might not be the same so the moorings and whatnot could be automatic and tied to the process without actually having some time on site to assess the vessel itself it's going to be really difficult so we're either going to need the person who built it which is unlikely or we're going to need the person who owns it to tell us how it works rather than trying to eyeball it while potentially under fire from the authorities trying to take the boat that would be that would be a solid option yeah that is going regrettably to require us to do better call soul music begins playing oh my god vena you I don't claim to know more about air vessels than you in this regard but we may either need the person who built the ship itself or we're going to need the person who owned it god that art is so good skelly god it's so flipping good unless you think you're confident enough to try and learn on the fly how to operate that thing's engine we're gonna need him yeah every engine is different and I don't know how confident are you or Tanny and your ability to figure something out on the fly if I have a moment to investigate the blueprints I can likely determine how the vessel is able to turn on the question is will that mechanism be something we can do swiftly or will it require special materials ah my expertise is mostly on ships on the ground oh my god we're gonna have to we're gonna have to talk to sandal decklund again apparently so oh no unless behind the gm screen jack nicholson yes don't give unless of course we can find someone in the city who is also knowledgeable about the construction of certain ships engines they're not all the same but I imagine despite the differences that you could probably figure it out if you had some sort of know-how about it that's true question is of time we don't know who else has designs on this airship we know that decklund is otherwise incapacitated but we also know that he is for lack of a better way of phrasing it incredibly fucking easy to manipulate or raises a hand yes oran from last time we we spoke to him he might not even know how to do it himself I mean he's not the one making it now usually if someone's lazy like that and they order something extravagant like this it would probably they'd probably just be told how it works once they get their shiny new thing so probably the people we should be looking for is actually at the shipyard itself people who are really hands-on with it and know how it works of course the workers we can unite them see if anyone are part of the revolution and if not we can try to convince them or try to see if anybody who's you know heading up the project could you know be on our side about it before we take it yes yes and worse to worse assuming that they're all a bunch of bootlicking scabs we can club one of them on the back of the head steal their uniforms and then a plan is forming indeed yeah we could have plenty of time to investigate the ship at that point and ask questions i think we should prepare a backup plan just in case but that isn't a bad idea i thought the backup plan was going to be killing them all that is the backup plan oh when we start killing them first no these are workers they have rights yes their right to be killed by me if they don't do what i like nonsense we might need the information they have thurston yes may i may i roll a society to see where i might be able to find a ship right of any description for this kind of thing um yeah you can give me a society check society because much as i think it would technically well it wouldn't even really be easier because isn't he isn't sandal arrested or something unless i remember institutionalized yeah he's he's he's somewhere that will be hard to get to honestly that's probably the best thing that could have happened to the guy i'm gonna roll a society before we go down this road that's a 19 on the die for a 36 uh yeah so you have enough knowledge to you probably have a contact in the in the rooks blaster as far as someone who's like designed and built a bunch of bespoke airships the even that contact is beyond you but you would have enough to know people who've done maintenance or construction work especially hull work and hull work being the more common type of thing when it comes to ship design care if you were tied for their speaker yeah um so so that would be something so in in so just to recap that because i sorry i interrupted in the middle there my bad um so just to recap that basically i know i may know someone who knows enough about building hulls but building engines for these ships is kind of not known around here yeah so there's not like the problem is is because airships are so bespoke and powerful anyone who knows how to build them is like state level top secret like whisked away or like you know powerful unique spell caster or whatnot like airships in time are not a common site like they are each so bespoke but there's enough people who do maintenance on like generally common common traits like wood paneling or structural elements you you'd be able to talk to someone who could like probably get you info on say where like exactly where it's docked which you know but also you know some of the guard patrol some of the background some of the maintenance and construction work they've done but they might not know like the super secret sauce that powers the engine um if we go to avoid talking to Sandal Declan uh yeah yeah exactly well you know like whether or not Sandal Declan would know that even would be you know up for debate that's up for that's up for debate obviously which is why I'm kind of pushing it somewhat out of my head because I'm like well he may just be as useless as he's always been so would there be any perchance literature on the subject not like a how to build engine but like a history of it there's there's there's gotta be libraries aplenty here and outset it's not like it would be bereft of them um how like what exactly are you looking to do with it I guess it's basically just gleaning information on like this is a history book regarding many famous and special airships and they may have some information about old models of ships and whatnot like a compendium of sorts not like a design guide or like a how to book or series of books or volumes on the subject just something that we could glean some idea out of so that when comes time to potentially having to hijack the vehicle if we have to do so without any idea how to actually operate the engine we can get close enough um so you like baldric yourself you don't have a ton of background experience with airships absolutely not but I have engineer for sure for sure for sure um airship construction is its own very bespoke thing in the setting um it's also like heavily secret and guarded um you would have had like with your engineering and just where you're at you would have definitely had connections to to like enough to to get those kind of books and having probably you know like hey this is something I've researched but they're almost more fantastical than they are engineering books um a lot of them talk about you know sort airship that only flies as long as it has like revelry happening uh and then it you know includes things like oh and many of the crew members die as they party themselves to death because they're effectively the fuel for the airship moving it's it's a lot of allegorical stuff like that or you know just direct kind of horror fodder in terms of how these things are powered and again each of them so basically we don't have a whole lot of leads to follow in regards to this and simply trying to hijack it won't lead us very far yeah like to equate it it's it's sort of like you are trying to to learn about you know the Wright Brothers plane just as the Wright Brothers plane is invented like this thing these things are so bespoke and new that there just isn't a lot of documentation and they've been around for a bit but they're all so varied and there's a lot of conjecture and back-end information the only person resource you might have that could have reliable information would be your resident sky pirate and she's drunk yeah always the hell with the thought process it's it's like Thursday gave a really good description of the White Brothers thing it's it's like you you don't know what their engine is it's not common yep I'm mainly just trying to set up a plan to avoid us getting on the ship potentially having a lot of heat on our tails and then it's like now we have to spend like a week figuring out we're going to survive fighting off the cops for a week on the boat yeah get the engine working yeah I don't think I have any skills that would make Vina a ton of use here besides just well I flew an airship once and its engine is very different from this one so what do you mean to sandal Declan you flew the ship you just don't know how to operate it I know how the engine of my ship worked you have no skills to support that that's hilarious no wonder they kicked you off as captain everyone's getting attacked today that's what I'm sensitive about with that logic Miss Vina being to view Mr. Bodrick that I think what Mr. Tannhauser proposed could really work out that we disguise ourselves incognito try to sneak onto the ship and assess the engine or whatever is driving it and stuff so we can gain that information because unfortunately we could probably get some surface level stuff from libraries or ask to Haukus to see what they know or we can send to a quick little magic little call and see if the Haukus might know any surface information but other than that I think our best bet to kind of get information is to sneak onto it first and use what time we can to make a plan after we get some information off the ship agreed agreed until we see the thing it's all kind of conjecture I may as well follow a lead at least on hull layout and see if I can get an in that way at least an exit plan though would be awesome so using their map and stuff in case things do go wrong we don't want to stay here for too long we want to find a way to get out quickly well we could always jump um the sky docks tend to be pretty high up tan hauser even with your body you're not surviving terminal velocity only some of us can fly I can prepare an earth bind spell I can also cast fly on one of you I can allow myself to fall gently down like a feather so I can clear whoa whoa whoa whoa you're getting close to that I mean I mean nothing like a feather at all actually it would be more like a gentle landing very good very good like a gentle landing like if I were some kind of feather that was falling no no you can't call it that we'll be soon the wizards on the coast they're coming for us from the shadow dimension so I can cover one of us and myself or can cover himself that leaves Rahua and Baldrick as tragically earthbound companions I can fly you can fly great that leaves you Baldrick I can probably sneak away better than any of you so that's probably fine I could just carry you down two of me V yeah somebody could carry him or I could put you in a pet cash you can hang out with club talk or I could try to sneak away with my 20 in stealth you do that what was that movie like was it Kung Pao Enter the Fist where the one ninja guy does this smoke bob and just dissipates in the wind just oh awesome I'll make it it'll be fine we're not going to talk about club talk either he's gone remove gone where is that guy he's dead don't ask and funny someone actually came up to one of my streams because we were just like where actually is he like the technical answer to that last I remember is that we handed club talk off to the grandmother I think or to someone else to take care yeah the mama's sweet so club talk has just been that person's child for eternity so fine by me so he's on a farm yeah he's on a farm he's got plenty of ways to run around okay yeah he's alive he's very much alive poor one out for Dr. Krim roll fast yeah another victim of the chainsaw car oh we're gonna find out that she was sponsored she's gonna be the final boss so Oren uh so Oren goes okay so as far as I can tell he pulls out like a cork board and all the pins and strings are attached together uh like so as far as I can tell uh this is gonna be the be the plan and I try to like hold up I got like music starts playing yeah actually I was looking for some music uh to do it I don't know if AC's gonna be able to find this music it's called like investigator's office I don't know if like no we need NordicNore we need like NordicNore yeah we'll do that one NordicNore I don't know if this will work I've known this is gonna fit the theme anyway we try chat we try oh wait no no NordicNore procedural maybe this one this is music off the tabletop audio we've been playing their music for most of the show and stuff they've been really awesome individuals or individual like basically like are great with him he's just like hey can we use this music on the show he's like yeah just throw some money every so often he's like alright he's the bro for your tabletop games by the way like he's just awesome individual so basically or brings out the cork board and says like alright as far as I can tell this is our building blocks that we have like step one we go ahead and start casing out the joint you know from afar we start seeing how many guards there are how many people that are around how many people we gotta take care of alright that's stage one stage two we begin to find individuals who are kind of like on the outskirts workers and stuff that we can either convince to take their uniform or knock them out to take it we all dress up as various workers workers after we investigate to see if there's any clearance levels that get closer to the ship or not then step three we infiltrate into the ship itself and like Oren's like doing crayons and stuff like none of it makes sense where did he get crayons he's just one of the servants probably came over thinking you know thinking it's a snack can I get some crayons he's get some markers or whatever and he's just like making a lot of scribbles he's John matting the map we're staying for dinner at the hegemon's house but they had to give Oren a kid's menu yeah and that's his apology package so infiltrate inside the ship as we go inside the ship we're going to try and see what the innards are like see what we need to figure out to make the ship go vroom and then after we figure that out we'll then come together at a designated point that we'll try to determine once we come in like to the hull the engine room or whatever and make a plan and then once we once we decide if we can take the ship or not we will then try to boot everybody off board and try to bring in our team of individuals or we can try to see if any of the dock workers are also loyal to the revolution where they can hop in and help us run the ship and with that we'll boot off anybody who gives us any opposition fly off with the ship and then it's ours does anyone remember last session what you were like what you were told regarding the defenses around the airship no no my brain has been sandblasted by minecraft movie memes the nether chicken jockey is not guarding the airship chicken jockey chicken jockey shut up someone someone is i think there was a martinet or something or something defending it okay yes there was a martinet yes yes yeah that's right the the the the murder man the murder martinet the murder net yes martin mystery thank you fucking yes don't don't you do that to me again speaker the reason is fucking blood pressure all right but can can you say chicken jockey and baldrick's voice just once go to hell i will i will urndale i will fill up your hero points if you do it i am not a man to be bought or soul three promises of silver fucking conscious way to stand your ground i respect you more for not paying that offer right i can like feel the con i can feel the conflict in you or in taps his plan you know along with saying like martinet question mark and he's like like like any questions um well we are gonna have to deal with that martinet eventually so i guess we'll have to scope out the place first i'm probably gonna pursue some leads in regards to hull design see if i can find a common flaw or at least something we can exploit anything you find bring to me as you are a master of alchemy i am a master of big ships you mr tanhauser what i think it should be your job it's mr bodrick's looking at hull designs start asking any more loyalty people who people who are still loyal to the revolution try to see many dock workers in that area yes what i could make out of what you just asked me that makes a lot of sense yeah sure i could use eyes of the city try to track creatures and settlements um is uh ah i can track the trees they're creatures and i can see where they went so we can find the location wow wow yeah yeah is that true no um um you know what you know what i'm gonna let hulky's no speak for me there all right fine then i'll use that was a powerful no from the hulkster and you know it's bad when when hulky delivers a no that's that fucking powerful that was pretty bad there was all right then can i track the martinette yes and her movements uh yeah you could you could definitely give me some checks relating to the martinette yes perhaps i can see from the sympathetic workers her daily schedule and from there is right i'm sorry why did i think because the last one because the last one every martinette is a woman equal opportunist um god i love evil women ah we come back yeah evil women i had assumed that martinette was like there must be is that like i guess i must have thought it was the the feminine moving on or something oh martin martin the feminine of marquis is marquine you really want to save this all right fine uh jamie update the art cards for me hey we gotta remaster those pdfs at some point to the remaster we might as well start updating it now oh man that's how we get added content out of the remaster look guys it's the most up-to-date lore we have updated the titles to adequately represent the current state of time with martin's and martinettes hold on please it's gonna be the name of this episode version of martinette was martinette it's a very uh it's a very complicated social hierarchy speaker tea moment we just fucking had i like how reverse this whole session is that oran's helping making the fucking plans and what else is being the fucking goop so we need to find them i'll track the martin and his movements okay yeah you can track the martin and his movements just call the martinette if you call him martin one more time dude i spent the hero point man i'm gonna pistol whip you i'm going to pistol whip you if you say martin and one more time you see i just i just just just just for the last thing before we run i just uh looked up the google dictionary from the oxford language of uh the definition of a martinette and the example here says uh the woman in charge was a martinette who treated all those beneath her like children which which strengthens my case her also is used to represent he and her and a lot of uh descriptions because it combines both and plural it's martinettes yeah i forget what english term what do you think uh type one if you think it should be the martin you gave me you gave me the acid reflux i'm now angry no okay the martinette is there yes we will likely have to we will have to endure that yes however i'm a little stun luck so i'm getting there that is going to be a boss fight yeah that's fine we'll just have to do better than the first time we fought a martinette when we did badly so we'll just what do you mean we i mean i didn't die oh no don't do this to me right now don't worry don't worry i just got a message from jamie saying i refused i'm gonna i'm gonna get a tom's later though so that's something we have to worry about and that's fine because we kind of knew that we weren't going to be leaving this area without a boss fight anyway that's just kind of how i felt so i feel like that's that's normal that's fine we'll prepare for that and we'll do some some research uh the word martin is just in my mind in like times new roman font in gold right now oh my god somebody get one of like the 3d spinning text that just has martin and like a serif okay okay how about we take a five minute little early yeah i'm gonna go put ice cubes on my head

below on youtube and thank you so much for supporting us uh as of this time i i think we we basically have our stakeouts there so everyone's gonna go off and uh for somebody who can't get info or whatever gonna go off and get some info i would like to volunteer or and to do some survival checks or maybe some nature checks or something and it's something congruent okay where are they getting this wood from are you drinking from a fucking straw speaker yeah he's he's at the he's at the heist table he's got a soda he just ordered he just ordered from mutton king it's okay yeah he's got a mutton king he's got a mutton king cheese steak just right in front of him what if i what if i was thirsty what if i was the consequence of that action don't do this to me i can't survive me getting angry you're doing sound killing him fucking game don't you yeah so i uh actually one thing i'd like to do if there's this is the first time i think i ever will get a chance to use this this lore skill i've had this lore skill since the beginning of the game and i've never used it since i would like to use my lore skill plants and hopefully have mercy of lore skills because they never get used to have the dc be a lot lower or so to basically as everyone's doing the high stuff or whatever or wants to try to identify that tree and to figure out what about that tree makes it so special to be embedded into an airship is as much info as he can i'm pretty sure he's not going to figure out everything about it but uh of what he can so i i i think uh i guess i can roll mine first and then everybody else can get their high stuff ready uh here's orange yeah we'll do yours first plant plant roll that's a natural one i i've had this the whole campaign after all of that preamble to a network we've been doing this campaign for so many years and i finally get to use this as a fucking one dude and you fucking mean this is the guy this is the character position where we learn that orin is still not very druidic he's losing his druid powers right now anyway i i i'm spinning my hero say what i i thought you were druish no we can't do space balls i'm gonna kill you yes yes hokey i'm going to we've been jammed strawberries i'm gonna reroll using a hero point that i'll have to take a complication please be another one i almost that is a 25 and what i'm going to do uh let's see we're not gonna do that one that one's not gonna work either uh okay this this this might actually work in your favor thurston um i want to use this complication from uh from star thank you also if you would also submit your own complications with me mess up it's patient.com forward slash narrative declaration but you can submit your own complications on the five dollar tier so or traveler tier i think so star basically has a complication called bad memory and it says forget what your conversation was about that's that's not a complication that's just a that's just an oran bit so forgets so i i would like to propose i would like to propose and i learned everything about this tree and i started i started getting some of the basics of the tree and i forget about some of the important details yeah it's it's fine imported ziscorin wood uh yeah ziscorin wood mr tanhouser magically conducive magically conducive it's really good at holding charges holding magical charges yeah um and there's a bird that's flying by the tree and you can see the bird and you realize that that bird is very colorful it's rainbows it's got a colorful a lot of colorful birds inside that tree you know and the and the bird has had a family and has had 18 little birds and you need to name all 18 of the little birds because the mom can't name them and they won't go to bird heaven if they don't have names yeah so that's what happened basically mr tanhouser it's a very it's a very rare and magical magical ziscorin tree and it has a lot of property to help help basically help regulate regulate and store magic it's probably really important to the ship uh but then also what's really really integral about this thing is the family that was inside so i took the last two hours investigating it to to help out the little family of birds inside the trees you know one of one of them was called dan hammer another antem and it was called full of night you know the bomb was really good with names i really helped out and so then another one was called michael ragnos another lord to con and another one was called the siege howitzer you know that's my favorite one he's a hot shot make him stop no he's gonna name all 18 no no no no no keep it going i don't need more please please don't it's not the bit's gonna go old you need to name all 18 birds this is a complication you know and then and then there was red all good like chat keep talking so i can use your names or does this have anything to do with the actual tree or did you get distracted by the birds living in the tree oh i know there's birds in the tree that might be relevant they're colorful birds we learned two things of importance and one of dubious importance the complex dynamics of rare avian species are very important to the thriving nature of the tree now tell me the rest of the 14 names i need you to stop what was called carbine harvester this episode has been 90 bits by weight yes if this episode were cut it could be all fucking fat it would be it would be the worst we had a pretty fucking heavy episode this is this would be like the worst wagyu which is like you cut into it it's like oh excuse me this is the fat cap i need to go get a different cut i've i've gotten all the fat i'm certain someone will enjoy doing that but they're also people who would probably enjoy eating a whale urndale adjusting his monocle this is just like the wagyu steak i have the other day i live in a trailer it's a very nice trailer i can eat wagyu steak if i want to because my house is small and expensive all right all right you got my permission you can eat like a martin i felt my tendons tighten response so to try to ring us back a little bit we're at this table and i'm proposing the scene that we have now gone out like whenever it rolls and reporting back what we're saying so that was loren's report so who else is rolling me no fuck i can't survive another bit i'm feeling how shoku hockey is taking over i'm going to use i'm going to use my sharingan to kill my whole family for a discount at every store it's not a discount it's everything at any store for free way of the samurai now on playstation can i roll my check yeah yeah yeah please yeah can we vena did you have something else you wanted to do because in theory you and i could have both gone out to do that funny thing finding this is true this is true i give vena something to do besides drinking i i do have very good diplomacy i could either go and help you find the ship right or i can go and help us find a crew okay whoever whoever wants a little bit of blue in their lives i'm gonna i'm gonna roll my society and if it's bad which it's not it's a 30 blue is the drunkest what do i find do i find a bunch of surly boat swains who are like anyway matey here's how you get on the ship you gotta shoot it with a cannonball all right matey so what you gotta do is you gotta go through the northern passage towards that's the got the bigger bridge so you can get across and there aren't as many of those burning melty people there they got them all over the ship with the rocks and the winds and the hush nobody likes going to that ship right now it's right and how scary it is thank you burly boat swain i'm going to take this information on board and bring it to the rest of my team i appreciate your assistance on this matter no problem next time you need anything you just come asking baby sure thing see you next time and i'm gonna leave him to drink his mixture of rum salt rum and vinegar he drinks it he dies there you go he then he then also downs a full cheesesteak i'm having trouble getting into the setting at present don't take it away from me i didn't tell you to make him eat a cheesesteak you gave him that you and the conjured a cheesesteak all right all right then people in the edit know about the cheesecake bit for the break anyway so that's what baldrick got what's fena got okay uh yeah i i will i will go with baldrick and i will diplomance my way around to see if i can talk to anybody to get like just rumors about what's happening with the ship or just general like how it operates or if they know who would know exactly how it operates and just kind of try and find who knows what miss fena uh-huh are you a diplomancer allegedly it is one of my trained skills but i have a tendency to not use it because most of the time a black a backflip will do wow you're a wizard this is true i am a wizard i'm gonna fucking crucified for bringing the bit up too many times fuck you we're not making it out of this episode guys am i gonna roll diplomacy we've been in this episode our whole lives we're gonna cut to the for the black and white photograph and it's gonna be all five of the characters in the black and white photograph in the hotel we're all raising the flag that says the bit on it okay that's a twenty nine okay okay one of vena's many many and by many i mean few attempts for diplomacy okay so vena you've been you've been traversing um you've been traversing the rook's pilaster for a bit this is taking of course taking place of course over the day you've been investigating the rook's pilaster hitting up you know the dive bar scene you know a lot of the things near the the labor side um you eventually find um some indications of someone who would know something you're pointed in in the direction of of a you know uh well-muscled woman who is in the corner of uh this this establishment called the shanty shiv uh and this woman is in a corner like basically like coddling a coffee um and like her hands are shaking and you've been pointed in her direction as like if you want to know more about what goes on with that airship you should talk to to megs you should all right yeah i'm gonna slide in across the the the seat from meg and just hey oh oh sorry that's blade runner scene you good you need a second what do you want uh i heard that you're really knowledgeable about about airships and i have something of a fascination with them so i'd really like to i move boxes you move boxes on to airships oh she looks into the coffee i did yeah is everything all right do you want me to get a break drink no no no no no no i just need coffee can i get you another one just just need to stay awake why is that uh uh give me give me uh give so you rolled a 29 okay so that's enough for you like you you're kind of you're kind of schmoozing here and as you do this woman makes she looks up it's like i just i don't want to go back to sleep what happens when you fall asleep i see i see the images of what i saw that day do you mind me asking what day sometimes with this sort of thing it helps to get it off your chest i don't know i don't know maybe maybe uh two weeks ago what that what that tyrant skilled person did that thing yeah and so what this tyrant skilled person unleashed some kind of monster where you were trying to load boxes that sounds like an osha violation oh still sounds like an osha violation so may i ask what he did she looks down at the coffee um give me a perception to sense motive all right not bad that is another 29 another 29 um you get the impression that she wants to say something but like it's that whole like if i vocalize this it's gonna sound so ridiculous that she's like can't verbalize it hey listen it's all right whatever it is i can promise you i've seen crazier she looks up kind of with a little smile well i don't know if you see crazy like this well i don't know i'm pretty crazy the the tyrant skill guy has three arms coming out of his back they say he ripped them off many killed they do what he wants and so he's squatting on the airship right now yeah he was the one who was watching over ever ever since ever since all the the kerfuffle outside the city and the the pillar of fire and that he he was sent over to watch to watch over it been there a few months off and on now he's he's living there we had to bring some of his supplies to him you see well but but but that's not that's that what he did i just just what he did did he hurt somebody you can see she's like sobbing oh hey hey hey i'm gonna very gently pat her back this complete stranger hey everything's gonna be all right listen between you and me i think you won't have to worry about that guy again very soon no no no you can't you can't send people to kill him they'll just die well worse than that actually he looks in the coffee worse than that maybe i don't know give me a look in the eyes and you tell me that i'm not crazy enough again looks up slowly from the coffee just don't know what i saw at least what i think i saw i can't be sure of anything what do you think you saw just that he had those arms out of his back from men that he killed oh no i've seen worse we have undead round some of them have four six arms i mean don't see you don't see a a living person with them but but i guess he just likes i don't know they say it's from people he killed and put on him but but now it's what he did with them so he's surrounded by undead also grabbed just just just his arms just him he didn't need anyone else oh oh he grabbed andy grabbed him with two arms and then the third arm punched him and andy andy andy was out cold that's what everyone else saw but i saw something else and he punched andy i saw andy fly out of his body he punched his spirit out of him yeah i think so that was that wasn't it he did it and all the others they went to they went to go pick up andy and take him away they just thought he you know got a got a little concussion they took him away thought thought they'd they'd wake him up that that that martin that thing he didn't he didn't stop him he just stared just stared as we took the body away i went with him but but but but but then i had to know because i was sure i saw no one else saw it but i was so sure i saw something i saw andy punched out of handy so i once we once we all turned the corner take him take him to rest i peeked back i saw that thing it was on the deck right where he punched andy and it was gorging on the air just eaten but there was nothing i could see that's so you think he ate andy's spirit i don't know but i do know that by the time i ran back andy andy wasn't breathing no more i see wait thank you for telling me this seriously this actually helps a lot don't go messing with him don't hey listen i'll be all right but you need to do me a favor you need to make sure you don't go back there all right until you have heard confirmation that he's dead okay oh wow okay and then once you have i'm gonna i'm gonna pull out one of the pamphlets i'm gonna slide it across to her you keep that in your back pocket all right hey all right sure yeah you stay right here don't just don't just don't you just don't want to i think he ate that man's soul man they really take them all in the tyrant skill don't they i don't know what it was it's like those those other ones he has with him they aren't natural not even normal tyrant skilled i've seen a basis on the streets but these things they can't even be mortal they're the um ascend draths right i think that's what they call them the ones that are on fire they burn their mouths they just belch out water and they've got those crossbows and then they've got those whirlwinds and those rocks just it's not safe not safe definitely not safe well in that case i definitely think you should not go back there at least not anytime soon all right all right well thank you for letting me know and hey you say you deliver boxes onto the ship kind of a long shot do you know how the engine works no one's allowed in the engine only the martinet and he's got the key oh well if he's got the key then simple enough thanks for your help yeah as you get up and like go to depart it just looks back at the coffee not simple at all well simple doesn't necessarily mean easy it's just straightforward and uh here i'll unscrew my flask you like your coffee a little irish it feels like you need it what's in irish yeah what is that you know it's a land far away we almost got there god damn it you know fantasy ireland erndale mute your headphones for you know ireland i win they just spelled all different all in reverse yeah the flag's red i i need i'm sorry hold on a second did we at some point block the term why is martin restricted allow i was just about to comment someone banned the word martin in our chat i didn't do that i was gonna break that up after you know being a thing i was like why why is martin wait how's it still blocked why why is it why is martin blocked by blocking it it made it more of a thing for us because we could all see the auto this was a good little bit of roleplay and very good information until ireland appeared ireland's all your fucking fault type 1 if you're from ireland in chat and in the comment section saying yes it was my fault how many people watch this from ireland i'm gonna find out it's another rot potato famine it was not funny but congratulations you made a cannon you made the existence of ireland happened so true it's like how jesus exists in pathfinder that's true and she died for your sins anyway i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna offer her some alcohol for her coffee and i'm gonna i'm gonna book it it's venus love language is offering people alcohol hey all uh let's see here for for the entire lifetime of our channel let me see i have this information we have the stats we have the power we have the capability i have the analytics yeah and the analytics are very laggy in ireland there's been a total of let's see 150 thousand 160 thousand turns of views of it so 160 thousand people from ireland it's your fault it's just one guy who watches us a lot yeah he puts us on the repeat okay thanks irish dan all right so that's what vena got irish dan yeah that's what vena got vena got good information and created ireland yeah true it's been a very productive day for me oh so so who's next mr tannhauser i suppose it's up to tannhauser all right i'm gonna go see if i have any irish contacts they could maybe uh in the location of where i could potentially find the martinet uh very easy i'm gonna just oh my god hold on the cheesesteak strikes again for context if people not understand that during the break speaker wolfed down an entire cheesesteak so he suffered i inhaled it i didn't want to keep the break going too long i felt bad take your time your health is first yeah well we're gonna get a display of my health pretty soon i'm gonna go ahead and use streetwise um to gather information ideally about where this airship is being kept many secret entrances or um the like is that acceptable to you mr thirst and hillman i will allow it thank you very much uh uh uh where's the skill section again okay right here it is and i'm going to roll it now society that's

make your stupid complications you can go to picture dot com for slash narrative declaration i look forward to how many martin related complications are going to show up stop oh you guys want a new character yeah like fellas like i'm grabbing the audience is giving speaker time to search your stuff audience sometimes the bits get funny but if you ask for like let's say bremblo for the 50th time it makes us not ever want to bring them up again so the more you keep demanding it the less we're going to do it because we're tired of the fucking bit we need avocados yeah we're tired of it stop

excellent the outset cute puppy oh hell yeah all right let's see outset cute puppy oh fuck yeah oh do you want to describe what you see his speaker as Tannhauser is going to look and turns the corner oh my god look at that he's just like me he's just like me for real he's got a metal head that's like pyramid and teeth where I suppose we're not that much alike oh what a cute little guy come here buddy come here oh do you want a treat I uh I've got this cheesesteak here can I propose an alternative yeah let's see you run into nuggets but then baron stack wall who follows up with you keeps talking to you distracting you from your mission that's much funnier because I can be angry can we do angry is always funny bring that up on the screen uh let me find nugget art and the dog you see is nugget I will look at nugget and I will pet nugget how about there hi bear I think I've found my old good friend nugget he's a much precious thing I've ever found in the mines oh yes he's a very cute dog why was he was in the mines you say where oh long way from here a gross various cotton it's amongst my troubles let me tell you about them once it put a time I was in the land of a body investigating some of the dwarven mines and this dwarf is distracting you from whatever you're looking we have had two complications so far about the players getting distracted when this is the most distracted we have been in an episode in years it's thematic what are you trying to do here me at ah yes well you see I'm a revolutionary attempting to upend the government of outset and I'm attempting to steal an airship so that I may gallivant across the world and unseal the great powers that are currently being sealed by the government of outset so that it may propagate unwittingly dooming themselves and all other life on this world to consumption by the rot well that sounds like our one adventure that I was on where the shadow government was basically ran by a bunch of rats now you must be wondering is just the tiny kind it was along with rat men but no one would ever believe me that rat men ever existed under the city I believe you baron I believe that the rats were controlling everything and like you do you must join me at the conspiracy meetings brother you would be excellent to know that there's even more rat men under the under the city of outset controlling even those of the higher powers of both knock it those two don't you boy hold on a second one of my friends is a rat man he uses the toilet and he's part of the revolutionary committee are you telling me that he is part of it he or he could very well be a plant the way you would trust a rat man I will not cotton to your generalizing prejudices mr. baron as cute as your dog may be rats are people too unless they're not and then they're animals you see that's where they get you they try to become human like me and you you know you're made of metal and not really quite a human and me at all you see they try to become people people and you're wait but are you opposed I'm confused so if they've rats become people are they good or are they bad they're trying to infiltrate the government well I'm trying to infiltrate the government that's that has nothing to do with being a rat he sponders a moment he thinks about that well I think I'd rather let you infiltrate the government than well if you want to help me infiltrate the government I'm currently trying to find where Sandal Declan's airship is currently moored oh it's right there he points to it he like points a block over oh thank you Baron anyway with my conspiracy theories he distracts you for more hours yes I will write all of this down in my notebook with question marks and citations rat people controlling government maybe bigger rats maybe big rats can become people if they want to ask Oren about this later what is warp stone question mark question mark question mark is warp stone in rock right google search well Ireland is so you know the implication there that the warp stone is in Ireland who put it there it's true yeah that's fair it must have been Mark it was St. St. Starsknick obviously good bits everybody good bits we're having a critical mass of bits and ADHD we will not survive the radiation I'm doing my best here so what Tannhauser learns so he brings back to the meeting table it's like what did you learn Mr. Tannhauser all right brace yourself Oren uh-huh so rats control the government what fuck's sake all right so I was speaking with a dwarf with a dog that was very cute and he told me he's theory and I wrote it all down here yes he's okay rats secretly control the government rats aren't people well oh okay rats can become people if they want to and then I thought this was a race thing but it seems like the guy genuinely has an antipathy towards rats or perhaps he knows something that we don't so I was hoping you talk to animals and other stupid things like that why don't you what do you know about that Tannhauser Tannhauser I got a quick question for you yes what were you going out there to find I was trying to find where the airship was moored did you learn that yeah did you find that oh he pointed it out to me I think I might have forgotten where it was son of a bitch I did fail the checks it's up to the mercy no I know I'm reacting as Baldrick it's in character you did wonderfully sweetie thank you so we have no leads to where this ship look look you've forgotten about your biggest cannon in the arsenal we haven't heard how Rahua investigates oh that's true we're just gonna he just didn't I didn't do it I simply forgot I was too busy looking at these cool bugs eating a couple other cool bugs in the gutter right we know the general location of the ship we know specifically where it is in a large city so that's what we're trying to find out yep yeah okay now as we know Rahua is the strongest social member of the entire party 100% diplomacy is my strongest ability in fact I have the highest charisma as well out of the entire group possibly in the world yes possibly the entire world of time all around the world okay Neil Breen get to it Thurston I would like to use one of my lore skills I don't think I've used in no less than three arcs okay okay okay I would like to find out what the common language of the dock hands around here would be everybody who works in heavy industry needs some means to take the edge off I mean you're working around massive magical fuck barges ceaseless discharges of pollution and the rigors of day-to-day industrial work it's it's a chaotic world out there and it's not an easy place to live in outset especially at the docks Thurston I'd like to use lore herbalism to determine what kind of green the people around here like yeah give me check the people's drugs the people's drugs the people's drugs that's a 90 on the die for 31 okay okay you know that the people here love a substance called brick it is made from herbs that only grow off of the masks that populate outset that like the strange featureless masks that are on all the walls that grow out of walls and seemingly appear when like moss or other lichen appears on those it can be harvested and turned into a drug which has the the street name of brick it's called this because it effectively bricks the person for a while it allows them to just escape reality absolutely now with that in mind would it be unfair to say that Rahua have been collected reagents and various kinds of plant sundries and plant-based sundries over the course of the entire campaign including the majority of the time that we spent in outset are you wondering if you have a stash of brick on you hell yeah am I a mule thurston I'd love to know yeah sure I'll give you I'll give you like enough to have made like I don't know two three doses of brick we cut back to every time you've seen one of those like masks and Rahua is just like scrape scrape scrape yeah Rahua puts two and two together that he has the good shit on him and he didn't even realize it we know the relative area of the airship this point yeah you know it's in the the rook's blaster you know where it is now at this point you've determined the location you've determined the relative defenses of it um you you have a good understanding of that that side of things absolutely well Rahua is gonna meander over to the general area within the docks where the ship should be and look for some rather strung out deck hands ostensibly ones who might look a little bit more well off but just well men why do you approach with me yeah you seem you seem like you might know this place a little bit better than I do I'm looking for a rather nice airship I'm not really quite sure of the name it's got a bunch of weird like trees on it it's got a bunch of ornate features belongs to a real piece of shit guy around here I'm sure he doesn't pay you do you happen to know who works on that or where that might be that would be the tyrants guild's little play thing oh really could you just do you where that might be yeah right there points is that the shipping question yeah of course awesome well that's that was surprisingly easy hey secondary question yes do you work on this and staff this ship oh uh no I I meander about here I direct people you direct people what do you direct what kind of pole do you have around here sir I direct the box stackers the box stackers do they are they the ones who work on the ship if they went to work they've been getting lazy lately hmm do you know where I might find them other staff members of this ship alternatively do you want to have a great time and possibly but wait wait hold on I'm gonna back that up before I offer this do they let you on those ships do they let you on there or do you just direct people I can go wherever I want awesome hey you want to have a great fucking time in exchange for a little favor for me yeah what kind of good time looks looks up and down at you let's just say I might be carrying some of that shit that makes your face go plastered like leans in you got some brick oh I got some brick big boy now it's gonna seem weird but I need to throw a surprise party so to speak and I don't I left my sunday best at home but you can go anywhere and whatever attire you're having seems like just the kind of party outfit I need time out time out time out I'll trade you love I fucking love that Rahua went undercover has like the most common person fucking slang like I got you big dog like like that kind of shit which is so out of place for fucking Rua like it's the energy bro I don't get your face blasted off yeah exactly anyways I uh I could I could yeah yeah I'll trade you some real nice threads too you won't be walking around with nothing you'll be looking like you're talk of the town he starts undressing in front of you oh wow okay that not like let's let's let's go somewhere more private give me the brick just in the middle of the street I will give him one dose of brick I do enjoy this guy from sounding like a surfer hide dude to a rich asshole um you managed to abscond with this man's clothing and information do you just come back to the meeting in his outfit a hundred percent it's ill-fitting you're like ripping it from the seams it is not working out but no one questions it no one questions the shit now it's a whole I've I can make this better too I have another thing that I can assist my outflip it's not passable I have camouflage netting so it just can look like a dock hand carrying a big tree oh my god that's hilarious who just comes back oh hey guys who are you I'm a drug lord now oh what pardon me so funny stuff funny thing happened on the way to the airship I met a guy he said he could move and shake things around here but he's also like really fiending for a dose of brick so I sold him some brick and I got his clothes so now I can get on the ship also it's like right over there what do you mean you sold him a brick I sold him some brick not a brick that's fucking how many bricks one I mean why did you just have like half a brick that you sold him so it turns out I was carrying that good kush like the entire campaign bro I want okay easy easy I want you to go back to several prior episodes and splice in scenes of collecting brick for continuity for the show if you could do that at least one per season I'd really appreciate it thanks easy give me like a give me a what is it what's his name Humpty Dumpty montage from Puss in Boots of him just like in the background of scenes just collecting reagents like in the midst of the chainsaw car fight he's just there scraping a little bit of moss there is no way he's gonna be able to do that and while you bring that get like some like sinister like like almost like you know like death music like dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun it's all leading to some really big conclusion yeah do that please this is the payoff if you're watching our show and easy's done his job this is the payoff episode for you if you go back to our three previous seasons you'll notice in the background if every single scene easy has cleverly edited what the fuck did you break your table it's all over putting this in the notes as a bullet point Rahua please save us and then following bullet point Rahua dealt drugs to get an outfit so we've got all our things together are we ready to go forth and try to get this airship well so what useful things did we learn well are we ready do we need do we need to take a second or are we just gonna go for it look at us dude I think we did our best I learned a lot about rats damn I learned that the tree is very magical and important to the ship and it has a cute family on it I can go sell more drugs and find more people if you want no I think we're good I think I think you need to save that for us are you gonna pay me for it could I have a break I don't know if this is the people's ganja well I'll have to inspect it first and find out I see you speak my language yes I do know what you said but what the fuck has happened to this character this is great no nothing's I'm not even drinking I've stopped tracking the trajectory of this conversation since you said that you've had a brick of weed on you okay to have get her ringed in we've reached the point where Zoran is begging us to stay up on her stand up the corkboard it's like okay we understand that the tree you know basically has some magical property so it's pretty potentially related to whatever's going inside now Mr. Baldrick what did you find I determined based on talking to some of the boatswains who operate this place that coming from the northern path that leads on to the larger bridge is the better choice since the southern ones tend to have more guards excellent so that's the place where we'll enter inside now Mr. Tathauser what did you find out literally nothing all right Mr. Rahua did you get uniforms for all of us or just you I only got one but I know that the deckhands apparently are lazy and may or may not be in the area okay so we can go and steal their uniforms and then infiltrate gotcha yeah I could probably go find them for you I can talk to the same guy so Miss Veena what did you find up I know a guy I found out that the Martinet has been squatting on the airship he's essentially set up camp there and that he has apparently been doing some very horrific shit to some of the crew I had a crew member describe an incident in which he grabbed someone and punched their soul out and then he ate said soul and that person died he also has three arms grafted to his back so it sounds to me that we need to try to see we can find a way to deal with this person quickly yeah luckily it seems that he had the key to the engine so we don't have to fuck with trying to figure out how it works so long as we get that okay so it sounds like this is the plan we still infiltrate the area now that we kind of know exactly where the ship is we pretty much go up to some of those workers still some of the uniforms and then we can potentially also so these Mr. Rahua were they like what did they deal with what were their jobs there was just a basically a dock manager to direct the people who were stacking boxes like shipping personnel so I could pass off and say oh yes I'm their new boss and probably could get them to move stuff onto the ship or just I don't know if you hop in a crate I could get them to just move you on yeah yeah I just have to find where the crew is yeah we could probably be like food supplies or something to kind of smuggle in and then basically once we try to get inside the ship and try to get put into the storage hold and basically from there we can hop on out see what's going on with the ship and then maybe also find a way to either a trap or get the martinet out of here and then after all that's taken care of hopefully should be smooth sailing one can hope how's that sound gang it sounds serviceable yes all right let's go ahead and get a nap let's head on to the air let's head on with mission boat possible I try to think of a name it was a solid effort it was a solid effort all right seriously can I have a break though what no set knock you on your ass there's going to be a big man on that ship I thought we were taking a nap arrest yeah yeah take a nap please heal up your characters it'll be done oh okay sorry I'm a little I'm a little slow on the draw give me a second no you're good we had a sleepover with the hegemon everyone's brains are fried right now I've been I have been sitting in the bitlectric chair for the past two hours the raging ape here man have a the rage it'll take the edge I'm a brick this brick ain't shit shut up foolish revolutionary I laced your shit fuck no more we gotta go we have to progress get me out of cover I can't believe I ate the forever weed coming I had to read you my notes it didn't save fuck I'm glad your notes didn't save I deserve that you're right wow all right you make your way towards the airship you manage I will I will narratively state you manage to find some clothes get yourself through through some of the chip points there are tyrant guild of basers and other things you know standard infantry that you've encountered before but they are easily duped by your impressive skills to be honest they are like third level NPCs and thus no issue to you but you do know that the more elite forces guard the airship itself so your disguises and such get you close to the airship however however as you approach you find that you are not alone so on the vessel there is there are two creatures and then to the southern sort of docking port where small bridges are erected across there are an additional set of threats so just going to pull up some stuff here really quickly on the deck of the of the vessel is one of the sort of new breed of tyrant skilled members that you've seen before or at least Tan has seen the sort of flaming whilst also like watery elementally infused Ascendriths one of them stands top near the piloting rig and the downward deck point clutching onto a heavy crossbow looking around with them sort of prowling around the deck of the ship itself this austere fine wooden ship that has a tree growing out the back in fact almost two sets of trees in a strange way is a cyclone of air this this cyclone seems to have faces in the form of crackling lightning inside that stare out but also whipping around is a necklace or at least some kind of cage you remember seeing similar devices employed back when you fought the undead sort of those incorporeal undead creatures way way way back in the same incident as the chainsaw car and then to the south you see another one of the abasers but a different type of elemental creature this one a large ogre sized just mound of rock and stone with some some like bits of lichen growing off of its back but also wearing this necklace that seems to have the same sort of effect a bound vestige of earth rocket stone rocket stone this is what you see as you approach kind of placed you on the map this is about as far as you think you like this is where you can get without raising the alarm you know getting on the ship especially with what you've heard a bit about these Ascendriths in terms of they are much more robotic and less normal mortal than other members of the Tyrant's Guild which is saying something and these elementals certainly won't respond to shenaniganery so you can guess there's probably a fight on your hands unless you have some sneaky super secret tactics you want to try we can try our best to get to a better position by sneaking but I don't know how sneaky we all are I could definitely get in there probably if we could maybe go around the back and try to sneak down the stairs we may be able to just deal with the Martinet but I'm not really optimistic about that right how good are all of us at sneaking might be a depth hand at it if I had to assign a numerical value maybe like a 19 or 20 see this is really funny because for a while I had group stealth and it came up so infrequently that I removed it in favor of other things and now we're having we've had to do group stealth would have been good twice now it's really funny I'm gonna grill you it's like well it's not my fault talk to your fellow players I know all right most of the the stealth related things have been caused by someone running in Leroy Jenkins style you've actually been much more prepared now we're trying to be so good Thurston yeah because you're not sponsored anymore and I could fucking dunk you so that's just you looking after you I see the truth for context Thurston or we'll have Gorgamonger not summon at this point because the help the sneaking take it save one for now yeah Mr. Tan all right Veena Baldrick and I will sneak aboard the airship you do the same but you will have the benefit of invisibility Oren utilize the fact that you are a flying creature find a way to get perhaps under the ship to make it here do you see where I'm pointing yeah you want me to come from behind that's right do that you should minimize the amount of sneaking you'll actually have to do okay I will also use spells to ensure that I give where I need to go are we all clear on that I could create a diversion of some kind and I could lure some attention away in theory if they are automatons yeah they might just meander over to that see we should see how long invisibility lasts yeah because if I create a diversion I can create a diversion that draws creatures attention elsewhere if I use a gist or a trick which I can't because that's mental attempt a single deception check and compare it to the perception DCs of the creatures attention you're trying to divert let me see here where's what is deception under that's 12 I've got a plus 20 if you want to hand me a bomb Thurston would I be able to give Venus something that's quite distracting let's say so yes but remember that like some of your handoff stuff only lasts like around before it doesn't start working in your hands unless it's been like a pre-prepared thing like if it's something like you had a smoke stick on you or what not that you'd prepared I may have something that I have in my inventory let me just yeah yeah absolutely absolutely this this chalupa chalupa it's a good chalupa no more distractions I'm trying to focus please do it up I'm trying don't talk about chalupas chalupas so if it lasts for only a round and I do hand it off to her she could just throw it that round though for a distraction though right yeah absolutely okay it kind of depends though if you're like like also remember something about like veena for example is how far do you move veena uh i move 40 feet without panache yeah so you're like there in one move so as far as like set up and get in veena can like get in there stupid fast too so it really depends like what you're your setup is going to be four um is your setup to get things in place is it to distract and separate your opponents like what's the goal with what you want to do i was thinking i could lure them off the ship or at least lure them to either the front of the ship or maybe off the ship and so like instead of being on the ship like this way like if we threw a loud noise somewhere over here to the east of us and sort of get them coming towards you on the bridge kind of and then we hide while they're moving okay yeah are we trying to avoid combat or are we trying to reposition we want to avoid combat because we have a nasty boss fight coming out if we can avoid the combat that's all the better but if we can reposition them to be at a disadvantage that's fine too because again if we manage to these two goobers off the boat that means that they can't be reinforced by these two guys down here as easily unless they've got like teleport or something that's fine I'm gonna go hide tenhazer over here yeah we also do we do one prepare just in case I'm gonna move baldrick like here oran's gonna go like I'll start making my way and he jumps off uh wings furl out and he starts kind of flying very good all right um in that case uh my wings only last for a minute so what I could do so we're trying to throw the bomb like here and get them to come on the bridge either on the bridge or like just out of position basically and when they move effectively we'll have an opening to uh to get on the bridge and over because if we just try to cross the bridge now there's no way in hell we're doing this stealthily oh yeah even even invisible that could be a trouble if they can see that what we could do we could cut the bridge down once they're on it if the ascend dress can't fly I don't know how many of these things can fly the wind elemental can definitely fly yeah almost certainly also there comes the problem of I can't fly so oh yeah but like if you were to uh uh like if somebody were to hit it with a range attack no I mean like that's going to prove a problem for when I have to get on the boat I can also cast fly on you yeah okay yeah and I can just grab a robe and tie it on the other side once we're all ready to continue so yeah uh but okay so we will get into position we'll hide and then uh you're gonna want to be close to me so I can give you the thing and you can just move without having to spend extra so just like be diagonal so like maybe here here's how we're gonna do this so you're all you're all gonna be in position the the triggering event will be Vina tosses um I'll just count that as the thing you do it will cause the distraction at that point every one of you will roll stealth for initiative um before that happens I just before Vina starts the ambush I'm gonna cast a fourth ranked invisibility on Rahua okay do you have subtle spell oh yeah you'll have to talk oh fuck yeah is there anything we can do to make his stealth attempt better without making it awful not not a great thing however what I'm basically saying is I will allow you to be hidden so what this will mean is they will have to come up and they will have to do perception to find you and waste actions to do that um which is which is fine but if there's an invisibility has the subtle trait what the invisibility has the subtle trait okay okay cool cool peace on earth I will go and tap Baldrick on the head and cast fly on him you'll have five minutes okay that's fine I was gonna feel like I can't fly right now but now you will now you can fly no but I don't need to fly right now I need to hide right now now you have fly oh additionally because I cast a fourth level Ruhua um the spell doesn't end if you use a hostile action oh that's pretty good actually so you're invisible for ten fucking minutes enjoy that's fucking awesome thank you that's really good that is really good make that tree gone now he just disappears he's actually gone it was all the dream uh quick I don't know one question just because we haven't run into a stealth situation before as far as auras are concerned um are auras perceptible if they are solely beneficial auras to your party members it depends some auras will specify if like they need to see you or something so if they need to see you they can't um because just an emanation uh 15 foot emanation on targets yeah no you should be good with bless yeah you're good okay uh actually we are going pure stealth benediction might be better because it just gives you a plus one to your ac uh i'm gonna pop benediction as well as a miasma of feel good vibes don't touch me surrounds me benediction does that have the subtle trait uh no so if you cast that if you cast that sorry it doesn't have the subtle trait so if you do cast that um there are like effects to it when you cast it so casting it could draw attention understood forgive me so we have you run into a situation where it has to do it and stuff no no no it's it's it's but like please keep in mind the reason i'm being like this is generally like if you're in line of sight or relative range to your opponent you all start like a massive amount of pre-buffing like it makes you more obvious right of course that's the thing so we would have wanted to do that way out of sight and out of mind which you could go back and do but then it's just like okay then you're not getting the full like duration for everything so some of the stuff where it's like oh this lasts for 10 minutes is fine but if it lasts for a minute like i don't know does it take you like five or six rounds to get back oh then this is only lasting like four rounds there's like a bit of that balance to it how much benefit are we getting from it you would get a plus one status bonus to your ac versus bless which i can actually sustain later i mean i can do both but we would probably want to hold off on that in the event that something goes wrong yeah that's fine at the very least we're gonna have one round to get some buffs and stuff off because if we're stealthy then uh well if we succeed in being stealthy then we're gonna they're gonna have to waste some actions let's go about this as though we are trying to avoid combat and stealth and failing stealth is a failure state not an expected outcome let's try our best to just avoid it and that should be gotcha yeah that is fine by me in that case i think we are ready to go okay let's move for who behind the box instead of standing in front of it he's he's in front he wants to wave to them well i mean he is invisible so it doesn't really matter it'll be a problem if someone tries to move through true um okay all right so i'm going to put you all into combat i would like you all to roll uh stealth initiative yes stealth initiative please so under the initiative section make sure it's the check box make sure it is not saying perception make sure that it is well all right all right orang got a one no bitch i mean it's fine he's off the side of the world anyway so 22 i also rolled a net 20 hey fucking two damn lord all right jad do you like the baldrick you sorry go ahead my bad no baldrick you get to go first so technically i assume this happens uh you what you see is the ascendant's head jerks to the sound of the the uh the exploding bomb there um the whirlwind kind of turns even to the south you see some reaction to this uh but you are currently undetected baldrick and hidden so what are you going to do i'm going to prepare an action if that's okay okay ready ready ready is take two actions yep yep i'm fine with that if you are and i'm going to say that in preparation uh for them approaching if they approach this threshold up here i'm going to move a bit closer up here okay cool so so just know there's two things you can do one is you can ready an action and then you'd get your your move the alternative is you can just delay and react to their like once they've done their turn that might be best and then you get your then you get your full action so then i guess i'll delay in that case then because i would like to try and react to them in the event that they've got some kind of i can see through this bullshit it but hey yeah for sure for sure for sure okay so you will delay okay delay uh vena what are you going to do all right um i think it's probably for the best that i delay as well um so if i i've already thrown the distraction right yeah that's what okay that was the stuff gotcha all right yeah in that case i will also delay my action okay perfect canhauser you're up next i just press that oh you know everyone's delaying it seems like it's the fashionable thing to do i might as well delay as well all righty did you uh because when when she was doing that i thought we were gonna like roll a deception for that because that was the the distraction but that's it's it's like it's enough that they are distracted because really what's gonna happen is they're gonna have to come over here um and they're gonna have to look around so that's kind of the thing is i i i don't need at this level i don't need vena to hit it like ac5 square with a thing okay i wanted to make sure yeah no no no for sure for sure uh okay so this is like a junk bomb that actually explodes so it's reasonably noticeable why is who is token down the middle of the path he's invisible i have invisible yeah he's invisible yeah i did ask that he moved to not be in the way of everything you don't want him to bump you that's what i had asked and then he moved him further in the way and this was like what the hell are you doing dog yeah you don't want to be in the way of him so maybe he wants to be in the way of him let's give him high five he wants he wants to ruin the stealth like rahua does he's having a chaotic bit and i'm not here for it kills him to give them a hug no i would love to give them a hug anything rahua does is the moral thing what's wind boy doing uh well i'm about to get that going give me one sec winds of takes off all stealth immediately not quite but he does do a fucking awful thing so i need to turn that on now hooray yeah oh malevolent glow malevolent glow um sorry it's being silly uh i need something that is a bit more direct wow that's gonna be annoying on the eyes i'll just go back to malevolent glow um this thing has some kind of aura around it within 50 feet as it moves it generates this aura it proceeds to fly it will fly three times over to where this happened uh you can tell that the winds are picking up around you um what this means is is that you're lucky that you're all touching the ground but if you were flying you would be having bad news bears around this thing oh okay good thing it also didn't get close to orrin or he's plummeting to his demise yeah oh shoot hooray update this i don't know why it says air let me just fix that okay um the earth doesn't want to go with fire wind wind this is all going great until the fire nation detects uh it begins plowing towards the bridge kind of like ape-like uh that's it's go the ascendrith up here i think we should definitely cut the bridge for the big guy i don't think he can fly and if he can then i'm gonna eat my hat if they can get on the bridge and then we cut it in theory earth boy doesn't fly in theory yeah listen this is pathfinder they can be like my earth elemental he casts fly he comes down and he uh loads his heavy crossbow uh which seeps with fire as he does so uh that's his go the other one will die no um explode how exciting uh we'll begin advancing up and load his crossbow same thing all right you're up cool well i'm gonna delay because i can't get past uh john bumblefuck who's on the bridge right now okay that's his name none of us can okay john bumblefuck is my american hero delay i had to put that on my sheet i gotta fly all right we'll be going down and flying over down 25 feet how far down are you okay down 25 yeah i i don't know how much you're gonna allow me on the first fall uh so we'll just say 25 go across 25 and then i don't know how deep pretty much i'm basically going under the ship uh that's the plan so i don't know how far down you allow me to go i'd probably say you'd want to be like 40 feet down okay so if we're compromised here for 20 as i go down the slope basically and then i'll spend another 20 stay there next turn and go down so that's uh okay that's where i'll be i'll do the distance for you cool all right and that is the sorry thank you yeah bunch of windows baltric you're up uh gonna continue to delay okay because i don't see an opening yet now now i i will point this out this is kind of the almost the epitome of readying versus delaying uh readying allows you to interrupt so for example um if the gorilla man decides to run across the bridge right now um it could theoretically get across the bridge because it would take its three actions and you would have to go after its turn if you readied and were like if it makes a move across the bridge i ready to attack the thing like to attack the bridge you could do that okay in that case so it's kind of up to you which which way no i think that's a wise choice in that situation i'm going to ready an action and i'm going to say when he gets to about here because that's if he gets to up around this spot here yeah i'm going to throw a alchemist fire i think would be the wisest choice here okay because that would probably do the most damage to this rickety looking little bridge are you sure because that's going to blow the whole stealth thing considering yeah he might that's the thing is that i don't think based on the fact that the two sentries are still waiting on the boat that we're going to get much better of an opportunity but the thing is is that if we successfully sneak past like if this guy gets onto here and is like what's going on over here like that's us avoiding having to fight that guy in windrow if we can successfully sneak past two guys i was content to pass my turn and i took thirst and suggesting that as a suggestion okay so if i'm passing my turn i'm passing i'm going to delay my turn i think it's unlikely we avoid it it is it is the okay it is a matter of risk it is the can you get past both of them yes however if you want your opportunity which is what baldrick said he wanted to do to try to knock this thing off on the way past him and vena wanted to do that then the way they have to do that is readying and basically breaking stealth i'm going to delay i'm going to delay a proposition that you can still ready the action and still just not do it that's true so you can have the option to do it so if things change i don't think it's a bad idea i think i think baldrick's correct at least to have it ready i'm just i'm gonna say that because of how the turn order is shaking out like we're unlikely to see what the two crossbow guys are going to do before that guy's already across the bridge right so like it's kind of kind of like one or the other here yeah i still say prepare because what else are you gonna do yeah i agree and if the one guy changes the plans by doing something else and might be like well this doesn't i don't see any other options nuke okay in that case i'm going to resume my prepared my ready to action and i'm going to say if he crosses the line here 30 feet over this way because that's still within throwing distance of me then i'm going to throw it at the bridge to destroy it with him on it and hope that gravity will take care of him or at the very least he'll be too far away to do anything and that he can't fly all right so that's my readying in action okay yeah mentally as well to make sure he doesn't get close enough to grab an edge the doing dead into your thing because we don't want him he's gonna be he's gonna be like in dead center so like when if he does that then that's that and i also know that that bridge is gonna have a hardness and health and everything else so if we really want it gone everyone else might want to contribute because by the time balderick does stuff everyone else might as well throw something in there to be like i also will make sure this thing gets damaged now the problem is venus and melee so i mean i've got yeah i've got i've got my gun um at the very least i can try to aim at one of the ropes or like somewhere that's a little more that i can sever possibly uh but otherwise i can just kind of contribute uh so that's what i'll do i'll go ahead and ready my action with the dueling pistol to fire um at the bridge once big guy crosses the threshold tan hazard all right uh i am similarly going to uh ready an action i'm going to ready a gravity well um after balderick's action results no gravity what uh you can't do it because ready action only lets you do a one action thing notice about oh okay yes yeah i i can draw and i can draw and throw thanks to quick bomber but if i didn't have that i wouldn't really be able to do anything unless i had it in my hand already yep okay uh in that case so can't uh well you have your sorry i can shield you can also just you can also delay so that if like they break the bridge with their shit then you can immediately go right after you know that guy falls or whatnot and take advantage of the situation and possibly like geek the other guys or ambush the other guys with your magic yeah you go before all them anyway after what they would do oh i know what i'll do okay i will ready nanite shroud for if combat begins okay okay okay that'll give me some concealment okay wind guy he is looking yeah he's looking respectfully respectfully 18 he says i respect women that doesn't look good uh he is flying around looking around he's not spotted you though for once all of us actually rolled really good stealth he's really closed i know movement one ready to actions boom blow him the fuck up i'm on it okay yeah so the the requirement he's not at that edge he's dead middle everyone's activating i i understand the yes you don't want him to grab i'm not going to have to grab the edge don't worry okay yeah as long as you don't as long as you don't run a gotcha on me we're good yeah let me he's just a big ass token let me see here all right with that ready versatile vial is that gamer thing of like hey we don't wait wait wait wait wait we know how things can go fire damage am i targeting him or am i just rolling it no you're just uh you would just roll it you just roll it yeah so i can't so i just roll strike without it yeah roll strike you can't crit so if it gives you the error just target him anyway yeah just start targeting it's fine yeah go huh uh five oh well that hit the target thurston uh yes okay i'll roll the damage uh let's see it's already got sticky bomb on it so whoosh uh 17 damage plus 10 splash okay that's pretty good it looks as though the bridges is is not doing great um but but it's still up so vena holding all right let's give it a shot i don't think i'm gonna do no ammunition is assigned okay there we go yeah you put all your you forgot the bullet my fucking bullets all right captain rauch moments let's give it a shot uh as you must target before you attack okay it's not target him yeah just target the enemy target the enemy oh that's a two 21 that will hit the bridge but do i want to try to fish for a crit you can't credit it's an object oh you can't credit you can't you just gotta roll damage yeah in that case uh it's not a ton of damage but uh we'll do our best here bang four damage four you know one more point of damage there oh my god can i hear a point re-roll any damage no no you cannot ah christ okay well um the the bomb does massive damage to the bridge um the the shot hits the the rope causing it to teeter slightly um the rock elemental creature looks up in like shock um it sees all of you um and seems to raise up its fists slightly uh in a defensive posture but that's its turn uh when you start popping up however the crossbows start shooting uh vena since you're the closest you're about to eat a crossbow mmm delicious my favorite meal heavy crossbow bolt comes shooting towards you uh looks like that'll hit you sweet we should have gotten you a better gun yeah listen it was a story thing i i maintain that ow uh so you will take 19 points of damage as a flaming bolt crashes into you vena ah um yeah ah uh and then uh he proceeds to reload um like kind of his mouth vomiting steaming liquid onto the bolt which catches a flame at it um and then i need to check or any of you oh my god are you in 60 feet no you're okay just um yeah he'll shoot you a second time well don't do that oh phew if we survive this engagement baldrick's taking that pistol and he's breaking it over his knee double move up to there once again sees vena shoots at a vena and misses vena i'm fast that was there go oh wait can i nimble dodge to get some panache or flashy dodge not nimble dodge um yeah you could absolutely actually yeah there we go anyway sweet dodge do a backflip good call all right invisible what are you doing the invisible tree uh i have i'm gonna mostly work on the bound wind baldrick are you going to be bombing the bridge again since you're right up after or i'm assuming or you're working on the guilders or the uh under the boat under the boat still yeah i i gotta fly around resummon gorgamunger then start doing stuff yeah two of you got time to shoot at the bridge so you think you're fine so you're the party's healer while i'm away i'm gonna take care of it you just do whatever the hell you need to do understandable i'm gonna just swoosh on up i'm just glad that dumpy didn't decide to cross the bridge he's just gotta pretend to protect himself yeah uh that being said choice i made the choice i thought he would go with no i understand i'm blocking him not you i'm gonna cast a spell but it does require me to make an attack roll and true to my fashion i'm not gonna flavor this until i know i do know that invisibility so yeah but i'm saying true to my own fashion i'm not gonna flavor this and give it a like zhuzh up the spell until i know that it actually hits okay okay okay so i'm gonna just roll this attack we'll roll we'll see does a 33 hit the creature a 33 will hit the creature excellent so from the nothing where rakua currently occupies a little nasty pernicious void of space-time opens and out of which a bunch of little inky black tendrils surge forth and crunch into this wind elementals face within the maelstrom as i cast blood feast sweet my head splits vertically into an enormous mawish feast upon the target's blood dealing 12d6 piercing damage depending on your spell attack your head sells back on i'm not a gugg though i wish i was you're gugg i'm gugg i'm gonna roll damage basically i'm gugg gugg basically i'm gugg yeah cross his arms i'm pretty gugg there was there was time when pathfinder adventures it like that sort of mid high level range always had guggs because they were like the best underground like cr13 creature you could put they're scary in guggs they're fucking horrifying yeah yeah they are yeah no damage 12d6 that's a lot of damage wow okay 42 piercing it's probably not gonna take as much fucking wind uh well it'll take the damage it will take none of the persistent effect though yeah yeah i don't even have access to anyway because it's not cast heightened and didn't crit okay cool cool cool cool yeah uh and that would be my turn because it's all my actions i'm gonna pass the gun what if it bled air like a balloon just makes a little facile farty noise ah there we go uh please please pass around the boat um one thing i would like to do though uh i should be in range of that bridge and i would like to cast frostbite would you allow me to cast a cantrip onto an object which is a very much just an attack roll i now understand it says targets one creature which is gamey but that's up to you um i'll give it to you sure thank you uh i so oh sorry i'll i'll rescind what i say it's a fortitude save um oh yeah i'm i'm gonna be i'm gonna be fair i'm gonna be fair like that's i don't want to do that then if it's not an attack roll then it's yeah 100 i'm i'm down with you um i cannot assist in that regard but you guys will definitely be able to have time to do it uh oran is going to keep on flapping about uh he's gonna spend that one action to get uh all the way under um as i promised last time for good all thursday so i'm under 40 now and uh oh that's wrong but anyway then i go this way 25 and then i start coming up this way 25 this is as far as oran can go right now uh well that's the end of my turn i get the button that works all right baldrick you're up i'm gonna throw another bomb at guy and blow him up hopefully and send him tumbling to his at the guy or the bridge underneath i'm shipping you're aiming at the bridge oh as you said thirsted it's uh it's only like a point off so like if i hit him with a splash it's like whatever absolutely anyway versatile vilefire go i'm throwing it at the bridge anyway so it's fucking whatever yeah you're good you'll hit full damage the bridge shatters under the impact causing this thing to go wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee all the way down to the ground and the bridge no longer exists yep we'll never know about these rich personal world yeah and the bridge is gone so now we're trapped over here with wind guy so now we need to deal with that and how will i deal with that well what's the natural enemy of wind you may ask that's right acid okay so true you burnt on my wind you fool i'm going to throw or draw and throw my acid flask at target sure and yeah that's the actual acid flask and not the alchemist fire which i still have to replace with something else at some point yeah that's what paul just did the acid thing but it's like pissing in the wind it gets fucking over everybody you're like ah acid i put vinegar in the wind that will miss so i'm going to re-roll that with a hero point here it's 24 re-roll with a hero point go bite me uh that will still miss no that'll hit because we have the right 10 wacky all right let me do the damage uh this also has sticky bomb applied to it so it'll be 11 for the direct hit 10 for the splash and now it is taking 2d6 plus 10 persistent acid damage yup all right very cool i still have one trick left yep and i don't think it's gonna work but i gotta try anyway i'm going to throw my last i'm gonna draw and throw a cold versatile vial with sticky bomb and hope that i can apply the cold probably can't but you know who dares wins 12 will miss but you still get the splash anyway because funny yep so i can't just apply there we go cool and with that that is my turn so i'm gonna move on and turn the alchemical barrage strikes this thing repeatedly uh it is incredibly wounded and has acid inside of its form it's howling avena you're oh get it it's howling like the wind all right zoran remove all your hero points they're already gone you're getting none next time we do this all right if someone reminds me of that next session they'll get a hero i know what i did last session yeah all right all right yeah i'm gonna move first action second action hit him with my sword that somehow hits all right if you don't like your character's voice you can change it by the you're clicking your character sheet at the top there's a little microphone that's that's all your voices no i think it's funny um finishing him see if you play it it'll only play in your end so don't worry if you test it 24 cold 24 cold takes it still still alive all right it's still alive damn um yeah i'm gonna hit him with a map minus five just regular style attack yes you follow up repeatedly slicing and stabbing at the the acid wind in front of you oh you hit just just stabbing at it just ah baldric ow it stings two ones just don't open your mouth so i didn't i didn't think that was a possibility you're opening your mouth right now stop 13 uh that's my turn i i love being melee only my turns are so simple anyway done speaking now on to the more complex of our crew speaking yeah speaking of all right tanhauser what uh 4d tetris chest do you have for us uh my move is pretty simple uh we're gonna start out with a nice refreshing god there's something wrong with this uh this gravity well i suppose i'll just have to cast gravity well i wish you could see my big fist with a thumbs down on it yeah i know anyway i went to the lion pit okay okay great um everybody within that burst needs to make me a reflex save okay hey ho hey let's go he's gonna suck now suckers dude sucker stop saying that it's even moving in the opposite direction as the wind guy's aura which uh clearly uh will result in a devastating tornado that i'm uh first of the time kills us all yeah yeah destroy us all destroy us all destroy us all okay well well let's do some of these uh the air is fine so it's gonna um let's see over here oh there's no attack of opportunity because it's forced movements it's sad yes yeah i'll do first guy that one will fail and this one will fail okay bye bye gentlemen yeah so they'll both be pulled off and fall to their deaths terribly yay now we just gotta deal with the windsman we're about to miss out on the really sick loot those guys have it makes you feel really good when the plan comes together now we have to now we have to defeat airman on the subject of defeating airman um what do you think the chances are that we're going to need to move a lot downstairs save everything you have for downstairs bro he sounds scary if i were a logical man i would say all the ruckus were causing would wake up the guy in the ship and he's gonna come up a whoop her ass so he's taking a big nap yeah hmm i don't suppose yeah there's no way in hell i could uh count this guy as a fog or mist to be dispersed with gust of wind um no so uh what i think i'm going to do is uh at the risk of sounding absurd i am just going oh wait there's no more bridge yeah sorry oh yeah that's right okay i'm just gonna catch shields it helped save us six rounds of combat yeah exactly and you just saved us 12 more so you're we're all doing phenomenal absolutely very worth i'm just gonna call hurling people to their demise a form of martial arts hey as long as it works it works true it is and as was pointed out it just means you don't get the treasure from them um what we're gonna do what we're gonna do give vena a ranged weapon i had i had a nasty plan by the way to deal with this guy if he failed i was then going to immediately quick cast earthbind on him and send him down as well yeah but earthbind doesn't kill them that's the only it would keep him out of the way long enough and then we could have a really funny scene where we're in the bowels of the ship and then he just comes in from the roof like man what the hell was that why'd you send me to the ground slowly so i can be among the corpses of my friends you're fucked i'm going to move to here wait did we just give him an idea and then no no no actually well let me fix my thing here oh he's trying to dunk zoran into the pit i can't no no no no no no he's gonna move there and then he is going to target you vena uh with lightning and i will miss and i will miss what the hell blasts of lightning come out at you i don't know why i was on 10 i mean flying creatures things of i'm not gonna let you melee me anymore so well and then it died 21 damage from the acid oh my god oh my god that was a bad roll wait how did he oh did he does he take bonus thurston did i actually get the elemental shit correctly well well the the your sticky bomb does 10 plus the 2d6 okay i was like hang on because the acid the acid inherently does oh so that was a 5 and a 6 okay i was like yeah how'd that happen i'm used to it doing 12 as that um comes to its astere end um there's a brief moment as like orin is trying to get around the ship the rest of you are kind of coming out of cover as this occurs uh trudging up from the the lower deck up top uh-oh uh-oh is a figure uh-oh that you don't see them emerge instead what you see first are two almost spider-like limbs reach up out spindly black bony protrusions protrusions that grip both sides and pull this figure up rather than it using the stairs oh and onto the scene emerges propelled by two of its three extra limbs what must be the martinet for kallion kallion oh fuck holy shit that's such a cool guy and as this armored figure uh with three uh additional limbs on its back comes up with beautiful art by salty chub that is where we are going to end today's episode yeah oh fuck oh shit i'm fairly certain that thurston helped a lot with that encounter but that is probably the cleanest combat encounter we've ever had that's fine don't get used to it i'm glad we got to use our awesome spells and get some little trickery and stuff and yeah i felt good after that so i think that was awesome yeah did anyone take actually any damage nope nope oh wait i did a little i only used one spell slot actually no i used two spell slots never mind that's because we're a badass now we're gonna get our ass whooped i know now the boss is about to be like hello there i see you've been throwing people off the side i learned i can do that too just now i don't want
