leaning down like hey little guy i hate this chat yeah when victrix was in prison she was cursed with an enchantment that like slowly reduces her overall square cube mass by like point of time there you go she still takes up the same relative space that she normally would but there's like an invisible barrier around her now well you need to see you're bigger now you know you're bigger and hard than inside zoran the bear victrix the flea for the context for the podcast people like shrunk down uh the little representation you made victrix small i'll make it smaller you're on top of the logo

strangle you we're gonna start sending what adventure do you have for us today well last time our band of destined chuck fuck see there it is scoured the blaze camp in the swamps discovering the children of the blaze had been attacking caravans sent from the city of outset to provide supplies to the local kaibu's the settlements of the twang folk the sort of nomadic people who live in the the swamplands outside of outset though what they found was though these caravans were attacked the stored supplies were mostly like some scattered gold but it seems like the blaze presence wasn't actually taking anything of value or note from the caravans in fact seem to be destroying elements of it they interrogated they interrogated eith a knoll friend who they uh managed to convert following a crisis of faith and then conversed with an ashen simulacrum of mr lort the mysterious leader of the children of the blaze mr lort indicated he was leaving for a while held no animosity to the players clearly that plot threat is done and will never come back ever again uh however a little vague threat on happenings and outset and baldrick's own home shook the party's resolve somewhat so from there they returned to the kaibu of the sodden earth where they opted to split up some continued on to meet the enigmatic ribius and assist those in the party who had been suffering from the rot while others traveled to the city of uh outset those traveling to outset included baldrick and a returned dude um and they made their way back to the city led by tashti the uh remains of the group headed to the grotto which was several days away uh there they met the divine avatar known as ribius um and they they encountered ribius who spoke to them and looks like this here have it for for non non podcast people uh yes this this immense uh three-mouthed toad creature um and there when they they spoke with him he indicated that um in order to sing the song to soothe the rot on those who are touched by auntie drown the third mouth would need to sing but the third mouth was in some sort of torpor caused by something deeper in the grotto so the pcs traveled in where they found offerings left about and then were blocked by water on both uh potential exits from where they were orin and rahua scouted ahead rahua discovered a change in reality as the rot appeared to manifest within the cave uh they he defeated the corruption before it took physical form and then returned along with orin to the party and the group opted to travel more cautiously continuing on right into the waiting tentacle of some unknown strange creature and we're actually going to um begin today's session here right right in this event here oh is this a scientific name yeah the da fuck what um this this tentacular creature uh which currently has now grabbed uh orin i would like everyone here to uh set yourselves up in the combating mode and uh roll yourselves some initiative we're diving right in everybody let's get right into it right into it initiative uh this is going to be perception why did it put me on stealth holy shit 35 to refresh very quickly because the game was missing up for me oh fuck is there a cat's for me uh-huh uh-huh oh i did it stealth my bad hold it yeah it switched it automatically to stealth for some reason that we we probably had it on stealth at some point i forgot to put it back oh yeah it's okay probably for the last combat encounter yeah yeah where you actually prepared actually it's the exact same number right roll oh beautiful so beautiful so we don't even change it whoopsie whoopsies to stay oooker but as sorry about that's okay as we're doing it i'm grabbing up at her And he's like grabbing at Ruhua. And he's like grabbing at Ruhua. Earned a B-teamer. You shouldn't be doing that. What do you mean? Can you please have her be called Victrix? I'm gonna kill you. I could. I could. All right. All right, there, I've updated the participants list. Thank you. You get to start off, so you see that or something is happening far out along the waterways or has been clearly in some kind of distress and has been grabbed by something. Vik is just kind of eyeing all of this with a general kind of apathy for a moment. Hey, that's something that's happening, isn't it? Help. You guys want me to do that or, you know? I mean, do you want to kill a giant octopus? I mean, you could be awesome if you wanna, but if you want to stand back here and, like, pick your nose or something. Hey, listen, I would love to kill the shit out of that thing, but, you know, I wouldn't want to get in your guys' way or annoy you with my barbarism. Kill the fucking- Aw, would you do it for me, Vik? It's like, well, that's more than six seconds. Next round. No, it's a joke. Stick with it, fuckboy. I know, I know, I know. He's fucking adding to the moment as he's fucking dying to the whatever tentacle. When is someone going to explain to me what an octopus is? You've never seen an octopus? Yeah, what the fuck? Or an- Well, if you put it like that, sure, fine. I'm digging in. Aw. He's going to run forward. 25. One, two, three, four, five. Uh, if I do that and then do a- Can I do a long jump and attack, or do I have to- What's the deal with long jump again, Thurston? Because I cannot reach that thing by running this whole way, but I would love for her to jump at it and try to attack it. Yeah, so a long jump is two actions. Um, so you- you would stride for two. Um, like, sorry, you stride, so you'd take a normal move, which you've done here, and then you make a horizontal leap. Um, it's equal to the total, uh, distance you're attempting to leap, but you can't leap farther than your speed. So, like, you can't leap 40 feet. Bullshit. I'm sorry you can't bend space-time. I can do it. Uh, I can, because if I narratively declare that, can I? You could. I- I would- I would allow it, sure. Can I narratively declare that she's going to long jump 40 feet and attempt to strike this thing? I will give you the biggest, longest bomb, uh, with a narrative declaration, as Victrix somehow has a, like, 20-second conversation and then jumps. I will allow this, because I am- 40-point vertical leap. I am- I am a beneficent GM. Oh, so beneficent. Listen, she's using- She's using her- So good. She's using her glaive as a, you know, that, that pole jump thing, you know? Mm-hmm. She's just going to leap. So how do I do this, Thurston, with these added modifiers? Uh, so what you'll do is you will go to where you want to position, so here, bop. Um, you will give me an athletics check. Boy, it is time for me to do athletics. Those bullies won't bother me now. I'm flying toward your plane, I'm feeling. 20. 20 is reasonable, it's not going to cause any problems. You're gonna, with the narrative declaration, you are going to go sailing through the air, you're going to land, and you can make one strike on this creature. Or the tentacular limb of this creature. You just see her sprint off immediately, and then stick the glaive in the ground and soar through the air, and then, probably miss, but it would be funny if she hit. Be very funny if I hit for 31. Uh, that will definitely hit. Yay! Save me! You just hear her scream. I live for this shit! And then scream. I'm glad somebody's having fun. Yeah, at least someone's liking shit. How much damage did you get? I got 15, Zorin! Wow! And a persistent bleed, as the tentacular limb is bleeding, but still clutching onto Orin. Oh yeah, do I fall in the water at this point? At this point, you will now be in the water. I'll put grabbed on me, here you go. Oh, sorry, yeah, I thought it went, eh, well there we go. Um, yeah, very good, very good. Okay, um, so yes, at this point you would need to make, uh, swim checks, so. Alright, I make a swim check. You don't make a swim check now, you will during subsequent rounds, you have to basically spend actions to swim. Um, but because you made a cool leap, you, you land. Alright, uh, that's it for Victrix? Yeah, she's done. Moving on. Alright, Tanhauser, you are the up. Alright, foreseeing the problems of having a large tentacular creature drag and drown, uh, many of our number, and knowing that Rahua is a tree and Orin can turn into a fish, uh, Tanhauser is going to walk to here, place his hand out, Vali, go now! And I'm going to cast, uh, Freedom of Movement upon Vali. Uh, so that way, if she gets graved, she cannot be drownded and ruin the entire reason we came here! Yay! Aw, thanks, Tanhauser. It's okay, I do it because I care! Now kill that weird fish! Alright, I'm on it. Alright, and that's the turn. Okay, cool. Uh, well, then that brings us to Vali. Okie dokie. Um, so, I have a question for you, Thirstian, about the feet. Alright. I do have the powerful leap feet, so what is the, uh, horizontal leap distance I can get? Uh, it increases it by five. Okay, so, you are doing a horizontal jump. I love that we're exploring all of the avenues of jumping today. Yeah, it's just our thing today. Alright, so you're doing a long jump. Um, the DC of the athletics check is equal to the total distance in feet. So, like, in, in, you know, um, Victrix's, I kind of doubled it because of, you know, ooh, narrative declaration. Um, but so, in your case, um, you get, let's see, what is, what is that? You said you had... Oh, that's 60 feet. Yeah, but you also move, uh, very fast, right? I do move very fast. Uh, without panache, I'm at 35 feet. You just picked turn as the pole jump. Uh, so, where did you get the powerful leap? There it is. Okay. Uh, I got it from the, uh, the combo feet slip with the beast. Yeah. Um, yeah, you can also do a long jump as a single action instead of two. You just don't, um, you just don't do the, uh, you just don't get through the, like, the stride with it, which is, you know, fine. Actually, quite honestly, what you could do is probably, like, stride out to here and then leap into the deep water. Um, and then just... The white water is, uh, like... It's, it's like, it's, it's not, like, full, full deep water, right? Like, it's, it's gonna hamper you, but you've got still more than enough movement to do that. Um, so really, you'll get out to about, like, y'all or so, and then just give me an acrobatics check and then, uh, or sorry, athletics check and don't mess it up. Yeah. Uh, I can step into difficult terrain, so do I get my full movement moving out here? No, it's stepping is only, like, a five-foot step, so that, that would let you, like, not, or be able to dodge, like, attacks of opportunity if you were fighting in difficult terrain. Gotcha. Uh, yeah, in that case, uh, of course my movement is a, uh, integer of five, so I can't, uh, I can't get a nice even movement here. So, 30, half of 35 would be, like, here? Uh, no, it's, uh... Uh, like, probably about, like, and it's only when you're, you're half, so I'd say, like, you get two, here, let me show you about there, yeah. Ah, there. Whoa! Uh, and then you, then you hop, uh, so give me, give me that, give me that check, but you've also got freedom of movement up, so actually you wouldn't suffer any penalties from the... Yeah, you've got freedom of movement, so you just kind of go up to there, and then you can jump. Very cool. So, just don't roll terribly on an athletics check. Well, Thurston, let's, uh, let's see. I, I wish it was acrobatics, I really do. Yeah. Don't we all, says every rogue acrobatic build. Yeah, exactly. Um, alright, let's go. I'm not very strong. That's an 11! Got one hero point. It's not very good! It's actually enough, because you add five to how far you jump, so your, your feet, your feet comes in handy here. Very nice, uh, so I'm assuming I can't get on top of it. Uh, I mean, no, you're kind of like, you're landing in the water by it. Yeah, I don't, I don't anticipate that was cool enough. Those actions. Hey, did you, did you get that out of them? That was probably not cool enough for Panache. Your feet's helped your feet. True! Uh, I, I don't imagine that I got Panache from that, Thurston. Uh, no. No, it was not very graceful. Especially not after calling, it was not very graceful. No, it was not. Not especially graceful, no. Like, you, you kind of have, like, the water, like, the freedom of movement was like, you know, those, like, children water wings they give you, like, on your side as you rush into the water, yeah. Uh, all right, in that case, I've got one action left, because I can one action long jump. Uh, so I am going to, uh, just sink my sword into this thing and try to kind of anchor myself to it. Okay, yeah, give me an attack. Uh, gotta target it first. Yeah. Yeah. That is something I would need to do. Yes! You'll hit it! Sweet DiMaggio, please, John DiMaggio. You hit a 28? Wow! 16! 16? Max damage? Hell yeah, you did maximum damage. Wow! Yeah. Good damage, give them high five. I'm struggling. Yeah. I want high five you, Valerie, but I'm just, save me! That's okay, Oren, we'll get it to let go! Help me! Oh, no. I know that's it for you, Valerie. You know that one video, the guy in the Wendy's is randomly screaming help? That's Oren. No! All right, uh, let me end my, uh, I place myself in defense formation and end my turn. Yep. Look at them go, they're, they're doing, they're doing so well, Tanhauser. It's, it's so much unity of purpose and like, look at all your friends. It's like you're, you're just, y'all well oiled machine. Oh, yes. Very well oiled. Except for the machine is made out of wood and people. Hmm. I see. Uh, Rua, you're up. That's a statement. Oh, wait! I told you up front here I was a help! I told you! I told you I was a help! I told you! I told you I was a help! I told you! I told you I was a help! I told you! Okay, you there, dog. I was talking, I muted myself because there was noises. Don't worry then, we love you. We were not ignoring all of the fun jokes you clearly said. Of course. Oh, no, I just started talking, so it's fine. No terrible comedy wasted. Oh, good. So this creature is actively attacking Oren and now Victrix and Vali. Well, it's actively attacking Oren. It's not really, Victrix is attacking it. Yeah. So Thurston, would it be safe to say it is not hostile towards me since it has Oren as the object of its fixation? I mean, it's hard to tell, like, gauge intent of a tentacle. Okay. Alright. Well, if it happens to be an animal, I do have Tame Animal as a feat. Okay. Can I attempt a nature check to try and soothe this savage soul? I will allow it. Okay. If the worst case scenario doesn't fucking work, but... Uh, let's see. No, worst case scenario is you make it your pet and then Victrix kills it anyway. No! Yeah, that's about right. Okay. I want to try a thing here as you're getting ready. You're allowing Rahuda to try this, aren't you, Thurston? Oh, yeah. Hey, chat, you want to make a bet? No. No, no gambling. Tame. No, I'm doing gambling. Rahuda Tame. Oh, we're Gamba. The beast. You can use your channel points now. Yes. What? No. What? I'll put it up for like five minutes. Start prediction. Got it. If you join the Twitch channel, you know, when we can do this live as if you too can gamble with your channel bits. All right. True. All right. Let's see what happens. That's a two. I would like to do. I would like to hear a point that. He is so determined. I am. So determined. Spending so much money on no. I am always determined to make a friend. Oh! Are you fucking kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? No! It's a wonderful life. I swear to God, the shit's rigged. I swear to God. Also, Zoran, this isn't really gambling if you don't close the pole before it happens. No, no, no. It's how it fucking ended. You put it up for five minutes, you're going to be bankrupt, you fool. Well, I can stop it at any point, so everyone got their shit. I made 3,000 channel points off that shit. So anyway, sorry, we're talking too much. Go ahead, Therizm. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's, that's the worst thing I would do. My players are talking. Uh, yeah, so, uh, Hulky, express to me how you completely fuck up trying to soothe this tentacle. Rahul will completely fuck this up somehow by speaking to, in a language that the tentacle would clearly understand, not knowing what this creature is under the water, assuming it's only has, so it could be an octopus. So Rahul will open his mouth as tendrils of astral energy lash out in wild fashion as a horrible screeching noise emits from his face hole. Oh, yes, I see you're, you're attacking my friend here, but have you considered? Fucking Jesus. Holy shit. That sound, Hulky! Did I do it? Jesus H Christ! Did he win? Did I win, GM? What are you doing with your, your, your, your, oh god, um, you have, let's see here, one moment, uh, what are you doing with your next two actions? What are you doing with your new pet? Yeah, your next two actions. Uh, uh, oh fuck, they don't, these don't have bones, god damn it. Uh. It was a fail. It was a fail. It was a fail. It was a fail. But it was not a critical fail. That's true. Actually, they do have bones. They have. They should. Yeah. They have shit in like, they have like their beak and like a couple other cartilage like things in the middle of them. They actually have no bones, backbone or vertebrae column and they utilize the incompressible nature of water to transmit force and they are considered invertebrate. Yes. Their bones are interesting. Can't use bone shaker. Uh, plastic in their heads. Can't, can't use bone shaker. Doesn't worry. Can't use bone shakers. Can't use bone shakers. Fuck. Octopi are into my favorite. Are you just going to spend two more actions to try to calm it down? Uh, yeah, I'm going to spend more actions. Actually, no. No, fuck this. The moment has passed. I can't make a friend today, so I'm going to kill it. Holy shit. Okay. Uh, crisis of faith. I'm sorry. What? I give my dog a crisis of faith. I'm sorry. I do that to applesauce every single day. My dog is no longer Anglican. First, to make the octopus make a little save. What? What the fuck? Okay. I guess I'll just... If it has a crisis of faith, I'll attempt to make it calm again. By force. Fuck. Fuck. It succeeded with a 28 roll. That sound is so fucking ominous, by the way. 20 points of mental damage. It takes half. Emotional damage. I... Emotion. It's... It's... It's... Yeah. Um... Okay. Okay. So, um... Now we learn a very important lesson. Cause you immediately went from commanding... Commanding an animal. Um... To casting a two-action spell. So you have no actions left. Um... So you go underwater and begin suffocating. Oh! No, I don't. Do you not need to breathe? Have we determined this yet? Oh my god! What is the rules for a Konrasu floating in water? Let's come back to this. Orin, my... We'll come back to drowning. Hi. What's going on? You're garbed. Can... Can you say he's just drowning from, like, water ingress or something? Yeah, I'm... It's okay. I'm drowning. Help me. I am drowning. Help me, please. Please help me. I am just under the water. Please help me. Please help me. Okay. One thing I want to see if I can do is, uh... Oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop. Okay. My recurrent chain teleported. Give me a second. Whoa! Instant transmission. I want to get... I want to try and escape. And I will do all the math for you if this has the thing for it. Uh... Here we go. I wish to escape from its grasp. Okay. I fucked up. Good. It didn't happen. That was one of my actions. I would like to... It does not have the attack trait, so we should... No, it does. Fuck! It has the attack trait. So he has everything minus five. Uh... Uh... Uh... Might as well. Welcome to tentacle land, population you. We say issues if I cast enlarge, it would not... I would still be ground. Because then I would be bigger. It may be harder to hold on to you. And I don't want to cast any of my spells. Because I have all... Everything full. And I don't want to cast anything. You have everything full, so you don't want to cast anything? Yeah. So I wanted to cast electric arc at it. Maybe it goes... All right. It goes... Actually, no. Wait. Wait, I have Galblast! Yeah! Galblast can potentially push people if I crit or something. I'll crit, right? If you push it, you probably go with it. We'll find out! It needs to make... I'm going to basically just like... Flutter around with my wings, casting two actions. Oh, it has to do a D20 or else it doesn't happen. For the... You gotta give me... You gotta give me that flat check first, Doug. All right. DC five. Don't roll a one or a four. One through four, don't roll it. Can one of you blow on my D20 for luck? No. I got you done. Thanks, Zando. All right, here we go. Okay, I'm good. It was a six. It was almost there. Okay, okay. All right. Now I have to make a fortitude save. Okay. I got this. No! He ran with three. He he he. The tentacle stays on. Hello? Uh, that's the end of my turn. All right, tentacle. Cool. Am I sinking? Uh, yeah. Aren't you being... Isn't he being held aloft by the tentacle? I'll say he's being held aloft. It probably will change in the next turn. If I'm sinking, I would no longer be grabbed, because it'll be away from me. Oh no. Oh no. He's... He's holding on tight. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hey, Zoran the bear. Yeah. Please give me a fortitude save. For context, the beast is currently casting constrict. Yeah, casting constrict. It is a very high level spell. He's using constrict. He's crushing him with the 10. With the 10. I succeed. My basic fortitude save at the 29. Okay, cool. So... I only take eight points of damage, because I rolled a 16, and I only take half. And you do it again? Fuck you, Thirst. It's easy to do. Yeah. Fucking asshole. Hostile game master having ass. I failed. I will not hero point that. Do your worst. Of course you rolled max damage. Stop tempting fate, you little shit. What's he gonna do now, huh? Huh? Huh? What's he gonna do? Probably again. Bobbin weaving. Let's go. Preston, are you doing it a third time? Ha! You time check. I may take damage, but I... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me see your details. You will take damage. Hey! Ha! I will not be grabbed at the end of this turn. Ha! It's true. And I rolled a 26. I have succeeded. I take only half damage. That's right. I'll take 6 damage, and Orin is continuing to yell, Help me for all that is holy! Help! You cut out completely. Yeah. Twitch heard it. He's being suffocated. Yeah. I'm just going underwater. All right, the tentacle is now floundering about. It takes some extra bleed damage from Victrix. Does not recover, so it's still bleeding as this bloody tentacle is flashing about here. Victrix, you're up. Yeah, thank you. This is why Victrix is powerful. Anyway, I'm going to melee attack it. Okay. So... I can only attack it twice, and then I have to make a swim check, right? Yeah, otherwise you start draining. Okay, dope. Anyway, I strike it with a plus 17. Okay. Uh... I take it that doesn't go up because it's a large, right? No. No. Totally up. I'm going to check. Ooh, that's not very good. That will miss. You do not. That's okay. Take the map minus 5. Okay. And I'll try again. Because a 19 does not hit. Miraculously, I know. That doesn't hit either with a 24. Whatever. All right, I'm going to make a swim check then. Okay. Because... You don't even have to roll for it in this case. You're, like, you just have to spend the action to stay aloft, essentially. Yeah, she'll swim. She will swim. As, like, Glaive is slashing out at this thing. All right. Uh... Brings over. Narrowly missing Vali and Oren. Good. Turned into a boat propeller. Easy, that's what I hear. Um... Dan Houser. Ah! Dan Housen time! Uh... I'd love it when you see that. Famously. Um... We're going to Laughing Shadow. Then we're gonna... Ooh, I'm not really going to be able to make it to the battle this turn. So, I'm going to Laughing Shadow, Haste... Um... And so I'll cast the Haste spell. Ooh! And... With my remaining two actions... I think I can move... Oh, God. To here. And... I guess I have to spend my last action not drowning, right? Um... No, you're not quite in deep water yet. But if I... Difficult terrain. I could get here, right? Would I still have to... Then you would... You would need to, like, spend it in action, essentially. Uh, I'm cool waiting here, then. Okay. Um... Because I have one action left. I mean... I'll throw a... I'll do some damage to him, I guess. Okay. Because otherwise I'd be wasting my action. I'll, uh... I'll cast, uh, Dimensional Assault. Or no. That's stupid. Okay. Well, Fang Fist. Um... Well, my Fang is forceful. Alright. I want you to cast that in the next turn and just get bodied and get yomched. Oh, I'm sure. Force Fang Fist! Nah, it's just seven damage. Not much, but... Wow! Okay. The tentacle splashes around from these blasts of force energy that comes towards them. Good job, Speaker. Thanks. High five. Molly. High five. That's me! Uh, okie dokie. Uh, so this thing is... Paint me a word picture. Is it... I don't know, holding Oren aloft, or is it, like, pulling him under? It's...it's, like, wrapped around him and crushing. Okay, so he's still in the water. It's not, like, holding... Yeah. He's kind of, like, going in and out of the water as it's moving around. Okay. Like, it's a fluid. You hear my...you hear my bones crunching, still. Oh! Oh, definitely. Oh, buddy boy. Yeah, I'm...I'm just going to just start jabbing at the bit that I see Oren is, like, that's...that's wrapped around Oren, just to try to get it to let go first. All right. Um...then I'm gonna, uh, fuckin'... Oh, wait, actually, no, it's...it's not grabbed him anymore. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. He did not maintain the grab. So I'm good. He's going, my bones are still crisp, but he's just not doing it right now. All right. Uh, in that case, what I'm going to do...I can't really do anything super dexterous in the water here, can I? A water backflip is much less impressive. It's very impressive. Yeah, I can do that. Wow. Yeah, I'm going to...I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna try to just sink the sword fully into the tentacle and anchor myself to it in case it tries to pull away. Okay. Okay. And see if it'll take me to the main body. This is a very not reckless plan. Is your panache and water technically just water, like water dancing or ballet? Water ballet? Water ballet? Water ballet? Um...yeah, probably. Yeah, what did you roll? I rolled a 26, which whiffed, and that's scary. Um...in that case... Uh, I'm just gonna try another one with the map minus five. You can do it, Valley. Let's do it. It can't see me. I can't, like, fainting strike it, can I? Thurston? Say again? I can't faint it, can I? Um...you could. You could certainly try. Oh, I mean, it's an arm. I don't anticipate it can see me. But I'll attempt to make a feint. Okay. Deception. It's a decent debuff for him. That's better than just swinging wildly. 21? No. Nope. All right. Uh, in that case, I'll just use my last action to stay afloat. All right. Doggy paddle, doggy paddle, doggy paddle. Rua. I'm going to attempt to intimidate the creature this time. Oh, okay. Let's see if we can... Demoralize? I hope so. How are you going to intimidate a tentacle? Uh, did you hear the voice he did, like, just a few minutes ago? Yeah, but that's when he was trying to seduce it. Yeah, he's learned what to properly use that for now. Oh, wrong application. The tentacles are now violent. What a state of things. I, I'd be in situations. So true, bestie. All right. Intimination. I'm an expert at this. Funny. Fuck off! What's with you in all dudes? I saw the 20. I saw the 20. I saw the 20. I saw the 20, but you should not see the 20. You should be a evil. Divided by 10. Well. All right. So that was an attempt to demoralize, right? Yeah. Yeah, that will, that will, that will, that will not be a success. I'm, uh, I'm sure. He inspired him. I'm sure. Jesus. God is speaking through me today and he's telling me that peace is not the way. Aren't you also drowning right now? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. No, we need to cross it right now because otherwise we're going to get letters. Letters. We're going to get top gear here in a moment. You know. We're going to get emails. We're going to tell you they should have drowned and blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Well, basically shut the fuck up. Fucking. I mean, right now I free swims. Funny. Water move. But if I'm grapple, that's different. Yeah. We're just going to use a little. It's one actions. We go. Hey, kids. We're home early. What the? Oh, now it's a 19. Now it's a 19. Now it's a 19. Yeah, you did it. Yay! Welcome to the High Rollers. You just said. 13 damage. It takes 13 points of, we'll say, piercing damage from whatever anarchic effect you conjure forth. I'm not happy about this situation. Oren, are you okay? Oren. Oren swims away. Yeah. Oren, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Is this location would be where Oren can stand? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I have 20 swim speeds. I'll just. Yes. Just quickly over this way out of its reach. Does it have any attack of Hoopatumini? Nope. Excelente. Oren comes back. He looks over at Tanhouser. He just looks miserable. That a wet beast. I'm delaying time as I am looking at options and stuff. He will look at it and get very angry and he will electric arc it thinking that his reflex save is very small. So he will go. Like single targeting is not really great for this thing. You usually will do it for two, but I'm just trying to get hits in right now with the basic reflex save. I sold that one. Oh, I sold that one. You got to give it to me. I don't. I succeed. And you're like. Burning much electric arc goes out. It takes half of 17 points of damage. And that's the end of Oren's turn. All right. So you're lucky because with that electric arc on its turn, it begins to pull away. It will actually use its jet ability, which allows it to move 200 feet in a straight line. And it will move 200 feet away. Victrix, will you take an attack of opportunity on it as it's leaving? Absolutely. Okay. Who do you think? Who do you think she is? Is this just a regular strike? Yeah. Swinging it. That seems before. Yeah, nice. Not quite enough. It flies off into the depths of the water. Get back here. I'm going to eat your heart. Are octopus hearts actually tasty? I don't think so. Hmm. And with that, we are out of combat as the creature has retreated. Oh. Do we? All right, I'm ready to foo! Oh. My ribs are broken. Also, wait, you told me to make an attack of opportunity and yet use jet, which causes it to move in a straight line through the water without triggering reactions. Oh, well. I missed anyway. It worked out. Yeah. Actually, Jim, I think you'll find this is why I'm the best GM. Actually. This is why I'm the best GM. All right. So, do we anticipate that's what's causing Ribius' malaise? I anticipate nothing. Vic is fucking seething and treading water. Harmless it. What does it fucking matter? Just kill it. Well, we're here for a reason and meh. What I have to say is that was the strangest worm I've ever seen. There wasn't a worm, Tannhauser. What? What was it? That was an octopus. A what? It's an octopus. You've never heard of an octopus? No. What is that? I go and run. Is that T-Picturn? Picturn comes by doing, like, Olympic-level movement, having rolled a natural 20 on his athletics check to swim through the water. Is David Hasselhoffing through the water? Just... It fucking goes by you into the darkness. Oh. Oh, she's not going to be outdone. Vex is falling off. Where are you going, Picturn? I'm just going on ahead. I think, you know, it looks like you had it handled. You know, you're good at handling everything. Oh, Picturn. Is that supposed to be a smart mouth? No. The Picturn is like... Or it also begins to swim. Actually, he comes back. Hey, Tannhauser. You're going to sink when you get in the water, right? Because you're made of metal and you're, like, heavy as fuck, right? I don't know. The idea of swimming in this water, it... It... It perplexes me. Oh, here. Just... I'll help you along. And me and Rahua. Rahua! Don't... Don't let go! Okay, remember the buddy system. Can you bridle carry Tannhauser? No, just you... You grab one of them. Okay, hold him up. I just... Just don't let me go! Okay. Okay, together now. Remember, okay. And a one. Drew... I need to make a strength check to flip Tannhauser over his shoulder. The people's anchor. The people's anchor. The people's anchor. Okay, you can... I'm not allowed to do that. You... Yeah, you're not allowed to do that. No, go ahead. No, I'm trying to... I'm trying to click it. Oh. Oh, I'll just... Roll a d20. Make sure that window pop up, you know, I'm missing it or whatever. I don't... There's no... Just do athletics. It's basically the same. Yeah, whatever. Whatever I need to cause problems. Yeah, do that ding. I do it. It's fine. Here we go. See? There's an already... There's 31. Yeah, yeah. You... You both managed to carry Tannhauser to the Islet ahead with no problems. Yeah, yeah, you both managed to carry Tannhauser to the islet ahead with no problems. It's great, Tannhauser. I mean, you wouldn't like act like an invention that hasn't been invented yet, like a toaster if we drop you, right? I don't know what that is, but he's already in the water. If he would have electrocuted us to death, he probably would have done it already. Tannhauser looks down at his hands. Having been in that water so plentiful, I feel as if I have become a sea creature. How could I ever face my desert tribes bit again? As you all come ashore here, Picturn is sitting on what appears to be just like a wooden crate that has been left here. There is a sort of passage that curves around rocky outcropping, kind of to the north, to the east, and then there is more waterway to the southeast. Ugh, more water. At least it's clean. Too much water. Seven out of ten, you're right. Picturn, we gotta stay together, man. You know, we're a crew. You know, here, did he get injured at all? He likes to, I want to check Picturn for any injuries. Orin, Orin crunkled like a freaking accordion. Picturn, you heard? Picturn is immaculate at this point, as you're sort of looking him over. Give me a perception check. Excellent. And while doing so, I'd also like to cast, not cast, but perform a he ha-puzz upon myself of first aid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But my perception check was a 24 of observing Picturn. Okay, yeah, you can see that the box that Picturn is sitting on appears to have, like, a faded symbol on it, which you recognize as being the symbol of the Medics Guild from Outset. Hey, guys, this box has the symbol of the Medics Guild from Outset, just like the inside voice said. Ooh. Ooh. Oh, you hear that voice, too? Wow. Yeah, it yells at me. All right. Do we anticipate it has any connection with any of the rest of the stuff happening outside? Most likely. Remember, we found these boxes nearby Gorgamonga. Hmm. Interesting. It's not impossible that those same experimenters found their way here and caused Rippius' disjunction. Right. We have seen signs of the rot here. I'm going to look around. I'm going to peer down kind of both tunnels and see. Do I see any obvious signs of, like, rot scarring anywhere in here? Give me a perception check. Yeah. I'll do that, Thurston. Yeah. That's a 20 to you. Okay. Okay. Yeah, you kind of start poking your head a bit this way. Um, you don't quite see anything, um, and you sort of are peering down. You can see there's more, like, niches in the wall here, but the niches here are almost all, like, desiccated goods or stuff that's been picked clean. Like, this is maybe another area where items would be stored, but it hasn't been used in quite some time. Um, as you sort of, like, peer along, and you can kind of, like, poke your head a bit further, and you get a sense that this entire area just sort of circles around. I don't know. Um, but as you sort of come back and then take another look back into more of the crevices, um, you start to see that from the walls, um, is, like, this bloom of rot that starts to emerge. Like, like, imagine, like, fungi spreading, but on fast forward, uh, to, like, a hundred times. You're just watching it as this is spreading, and you turn back to your companions, and suddenly the rot is spreading over them. It's spreading out of the box that Picturn's sitting on as he turns and looks at you as you cross the corner, holding your torch, his smile suddenly being covered as, like, rot goes into his mouth. Give me a will save. But—Picturn. Oh, this is just Volley seeing this. That's another Blevins for a 22. A 22. Cool. Um. All right, Volley, you'll take 28 points of mental damage, um, and you will also, um, oops, I guess they changed that, uh, you also suddenly find, as, as this happens, and you're, like, like, you stagger, and your, your nose starts to bleed, you feel inside your body something is wrong, um, and at the end of that, uh, can you give me, uh, roll me a d20? What? What? Why am I making so many rolls, Thurston? Because you decided to explore. Cool, so, like, as you kind of, like, have this mental shock recover and your turn, uh, you take five points of rot damage as you feel your insides being consumed by something wholly alien. Uh, what are you doing? Um, well, first, I'm going to, uh, scream. Just, like, as the rod is starting to, like, filter over all of my compatriots, as I see it kind of spreading through, Volley's eyes are just gonna just go completely bug-eyed. She's gonna, like, start fumbling for her sword, kind of falling back, stumbling, uh, probably falling on her ass in the middle of this cave, and just screaming, uh, holding her head before just, just, uh, just gout of, like, black rot from her mouth. Well, what are the rest of you doing? Uh, here in the scream, Vic is immediately going to scream gla- er, scream, sprint glaive, uh, Brandish is gonna just move. Just screaming at her. Or will rush up, seeing what's going on, go, ah! And then it has, uh, he takes out the elixir of life, Lesser he has, and quickly rushes to Volley, and go, here, drink this! It's everywhere, it's everywhere, it's everywhere, it's everywhere! I know, I know, it's okay, it's okay, just drink this! Where, where is it? What the fuck is it? Why? The, the, the, the whole cave! It's the whole cave! Uh, Victrix will stab the side of the cave. Okay. Uh, roll an attack against stone, uh, just damage, please. Oh, just the damage. Victrix is an ally to women. Is there a, is there a weapon degradation in this cave? A king. Uh, yeah, this is like Dark Souls 2, uh, what you wanna do is you wanna, oh gosh. I should bleed. Good, yeah, the cave is, the wall is bleeding. So, I do that to, uh, the heal of Volley, and just, uh, okay, sorry, chat, you're gonna have to see my character sheet way too long. Um, and there's just, this is just healing for my end, cause I was doing an ultimate pick turn just to do that real quick. I did the healer's clip for that. But, so that's now gone, um, so that's basically me just trying to help out Volley and drag her back. And what I would like to do is go, like, like, okay, everyone back to the shore. I mean, obviously something's wrong with this place, and, man, if we're gonna keep going into here, we need to get prepared. I would like to cast Moxie Weapon on everyone's weapons and take that time. Um, I'm not sure how long it stays, but I just wanna kinda pre-buff everyone, cause we're going to a rotten-fested place. I want everyone to have, like, Moxie Weapon enchantments, all their stuff. Mm-hmm. Um, let's see here. It lasts for one minute. Damn it. Yeah. So by stabbing the cave wall, you basically, Vic, will determine that the wall is made of stone, correct? Correct. Yes. Yeah. She will then reorient the weapon and point into the cave, like, menacingly with it in case anything is in there. But there's obviously nothing. Okay, so there's a bunch of stuff. Tanhauser, you rushed up Rahua, you were also. What are the two of you? Um, Tanhauser's gonna quickly take a look inside of this area, see if there's anything that maybe he missed. I'm gonna cast a, uh, Detect Magic. Okay. See if maybe I get a scent on anything. Yeah, you're not, you're not getting any kind of scent. In fact, as you look, it's kind of, like, oddly quiet and empty, uh, beyond your friend screaming and, like, being force-fed a potion. Uh, based on her symptoms, can I make an occultist roll to try to maybe understand what's happening? Uh, yeah, sure. I'll let you do that as part of this, as well. Third action kind of thing. Uh, 25. Um, clearly had some kind of, like, mental assault. Like, something, something probably happened here. It might be more occult in nature, uh, from what she's saying. Like, you know, you've heard, you've heard rumors of, like, the rot has sort of an alien influence on people, especially when it starts spreading through them. Mm-hmm. I'm gonna walk up to Pictured, if that's okay, if that's not too much. Uh, well, let's go to Rahua first. Okay, you're right, you're right. My apologies. So seeing Vali under psychic assault from metaphysical bleeds from the rot, Rahua, based upon his previous encounter with the rot in this cave, is going to assume she's okay, but otherwise psychologically disturbed by the psychic bleed of things yet to be. Uh, but coupling that with expert, uh, knowledge of the containers containing samples of the rot, Rahua is going to stop by Pictured before going over to Vali. Uh, Pictured, would you, would you mind sit, not sitting on that? In fact, it's probably detrimental to your own health that you sit on that. Just motions his hands like, come on, get up, scoot. Oh, okay, and he just kind of, like, walks over to the corner here. Sorry about that, I didn't mean to get in the way. No, it's, it's okay, I don't want you to get hurt, because there's probably nasty, gross stuff inside this, okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, probably is, now that, oh, Vali looks awful shook up. Uh, let's, let's see if this is the source of, uh, Rahua will carefully open up the box that Pictured was sitting on with one hand and have his mossy mace in the other. Yeah, you crack it open to reveal, uh, like, a box that's full of, like, well-preserved poultices, um, kind of alchemical ingredients, um, like, what appears to be two, uh, two vials in there. Can I identify these two vials? You can give me a crafting check. Okay. I'm trouble with no Baldrick. Yeah? 21. Uh, yeah, so you are able to recognize one of them is a moderate anti-plague, and the other is an elixir of life, um, fairly old, but it is also, um, a, uh, a lesser elixir of life. Neat. All well-preserved. Uh, all right, uh, with all that, uh, back to Vali. Vali, roll me a d20, please. 19? Okay. Oh, God. You take another three points of rot damage, which I apparently rolled from Pic-turn. From Pic-turn! Yeah, from Pic-turn! Uh-huh! Um, but, uh, then you manage to, like, vomit out, and you feel, like, the rest of it leaving your system as you continue to heave and get it out. Your stomach no longer hurt. Oh, my tummy hurts, and I'm not being brave about it! No, Vali is just going to, like, kind of dab at the corner of her mouth with her hand, just look at all this, like, oo, is just kind of spilling out in front of her, just… What the fuck was that? Wha-how-how-how-who-what that? Did we, did we, did we, did… Sorry, did we find something? just going to like hold on to Oren like a little plushie just like wrapping my arms around him he's downy and soft just patting your arms going uh who have found some bottles inside we can probably use one of them to get you back up you know here just come sit down over here and Oren will I would like to basically start doing first aid at least on both of us but just kind of your ribs are still crushed yeah this thing crushed my wings a little bit but I'll be okay here you go I would like to not even assurance I'm going to use my nature because I have natural medicine and do my little healing plaster for healing kit supplement first one's going to be to heal her oh I saw that one I got scared that's a 32 that'll be a critical heal yeah a crit and plus 10 for the 30 dc um so that will be 2d8 no 48 plus 10 I didn't do the plus 10 my bad but you can just shift click that and do plus 10 on that so that'll be to you so you're nice and healed up and uh I will do the same for me just to get myself a pud I saw the one on that one too oh there you go Thurston while they're doing that uh Vic is going to very carefully advance just pointing her glaive at every shadow in the cave as she's moving forward yeah sure uh once again you're kind of seeing confronted by like just niches and alcoves around here most of them are a necromancer she doesn't know someone's casting spells or she doesn't want to stab them yep I'll get it I'll stay there so I don't drag too far away from the party um and then yeah Tannhusra we're kind of back to you now so um yeah I guess uh the way over here that was um that wasn't the alleyway that we explored earlier was it which way like we sent uh people through this no you have not been down this way okay okay so we haven't been down this way and we haven't been down this way I say very quickly we circle the area here identify any paths and then continue down south yeah Bolly's already done a walkabout here that was when she like triggered whatever the fuck happened yeah the top only loops yeah the top it just loops around so the only way you really have to go as this south way into the water chill chill chill okay um I'm just going to say uh there's only a limited amount of time the enchantments I've worked on Valley will last I say we take advantage of it press on while we're strong yeah or nods and like good Valley yeah yeah never better sorry for the mess it's uh it's okay in my cave don't get near that uh Orin will begin to kind of lead up anyone need help get through the water the water the water no I'm I'm good it's it's pretty calm uh and there's just about a little in picture and sort of points into the darkness it's just a a slightly deep point but it's not that much you just can basically hop across hey big turn do you have any uh you have any spells to help with like water walking or anything else no no I mean I suppose I could make a cabin that'd be helpful we could turn it into a boat you know I do have a dirigible we could use yeah what happened to our dirigible we haven't kept up with that thing he's probably lost in the fucking swamp somewhere it's just it's just floating around the swamp it's literally a ticking time bomb it's turned into the flatland beast I'm sure it's around here somewhere TM um yeah I guess uh I don't see much other recourse other than just moving right along yeah might as well orn starts swimming I'll take the first plunge and go 20 feet up sure come on blue more water yep more water ladies first for those of you with acrobatics or athletics like you can literally just like hop across it it's not like a I have to do a bunch of swim checks or anything it's not so I need to make an athletics check to crawl out to sleep yeah exactly yes so I leap okay so I'll make a check for the acrobatics then for athletics to do the jumping okay I do the athletics because she jumped I think I actually deleted Tannhauser's token oh it wasn't accidental oh okay where did he go that answers your question anyway we're gonna keep going that was literally when he made that fucking comment I just deleted his token I was hoping to react I'm standing on top of him so I'm like where did Tannhauser go as as Vic crosses over doing again the fucking pole jump she's gonna throw the gaff to volley so she can do the same oh thanks and yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna jump over yeah I'll also do a running leap athletics athletic man can I do a backflip to make it backflip like I say you don't even have to really care like this is like pretty basic water at this point like it's not like there's no movement in it there's nothing anything crazy going on you're not gonna I'm not gonna have you roll three natural ones and drown in the kitty ghoul okay ahead of us I would ahead of us did you want me to make athletic checks too to get up here or no no no no no like I said you don't even have to make checks we're all paranoid because after you made us explore we got punished so we're like I don't know if you want to move up and stuff but it's all get up here I see there's a fork in the path Ornn will look to Pictern hey Pictern which way do you think we should go you can hear it can't you what listen and it's like he kind of like put silence and like there's the lapping of the water by you but you hear what sounds to be like a waterfall coming from this direction the northern path yeah let's see what's there you hear are you talking about the waterfall Pictern yeah okay it's that way okay the way you phrased it it almost sounded like it was gonna be something like you had heard like like children crying and like screaming or whatever no it just sounds like the waterfall you know like the one by the creek by the farm you know my brother Tedimus he uh oh oh he always loved that creek that's a new name yeah he fell in and he died we don't talk about him much oh all right why don't we stop talking now okay why don't you lead just in case you hear a low growl from Victrix yeah that's fine this is kind of depressing now I'm sorry yeah it sounds this way I guess we'll start moving with them as a group let's you flies into a wall apparently um let's you kind of drowning over there yep oh no another split in the path which way do we go the the sound is coming from the north as you kind of like creep through at this point like you can tell the the air here has like this like almost like moist coolness to it you hear the rushing like air but as you start to like see the incandescent luminosity of Ali going up you can see that there's a very tight like tunnel that seems to carry on to the north oh boy let's see if we can make the squeeze the air here is nice beats the living hell out of the fence now be careful everybody everybody knows in tight spaces you can get crushed by a shifting cave and die instantly thank you Rahua maybe we should stop talking okay Rahua I assume I have to take the squeeze action to move through here uh yeah it's uh it's very tight all right what should I what do I have to roll to squeeze you don't have to like make an action it's just like you're kind of like intentionally pulling your bulk in and moving up the horrible cracking and creaking of his frame compressing to you know what it is no no no hulk you know what it is what you're good you're good you're good it's exactly that grinding ouch wouldn't be rot grind we have rot but not enough grind that is true all right everyone else is kind of heading in yeah yeah hey Tanny you haven't seen any more of that rot in here have you and and has her flies away don't talk to me don't talk to me why do I come to the arena I haven't seen any but I'm sure we're all about to come on is there any in that cave none that I could see or sense but perhaps it's more something that you have a greater connection with something that it's able to affect you easier than others as you enter into this next area you can hear the rushing of water it is much louder it's to the east but the only sort of illumination that you properly have is Vali you're still holding the torch you can see inscribed on the ground is some sort of symbol that's been etched there which I think if you've seen a few times before now one of the deity sort of symbols that's etched these kind of swirling patterns of Auntie Drown Balinsas as she's also known there are various crates here all the crates seem to have an appearance as though they are smacked up but you can't you can't get a further look in just because of where you're standing Molly you're kind of like by a wall that's cutting off some of your vision and like your light is still going further with the sound of the water rushing to the east there you you you you also hear a voice behind you say Molly move I'm moving you kind of all continue walking into this into this space as you do so you can see Molly that there is like the sound of rushing water to the east you see a bit of it lapping up against a shoreline to the east you see more of these sort of broken boxes and a few like rising stalagmites coming out of the out of the ground here there appears to be like rope and some supplies and then yeah the sound of rushing water in the darkness further to the east huh all right I'll take point just to shine the light around and make sure we all see what's going on yeah you see picturn sort of step up and then like you kind of carry on past him taking a look you can see now that the crates here appear to be smashed in various places as though they were like tossed and tumbled ashore there's a couple of them that look like they were stacked normally but they're kind of jumbled in with cracked and broken supplies what do you see over there picturn water regular it's coming down hard oh well there's the waterfall okay so as you get to about there volley um whoa you see an immense waterfall that is like crashing down and filling the room with you know a constant sort of there are rocks that like almost have the appearance of teeth coming out of the water and as you hear this you can see that there's like shattered debris from various boxes that look like they've shattered against these teeth and you can see that the water itself is not like a crystal clear water like you've seen in the rest of the grotto instead you see it is like suffused with black inky darkness but it has this oily texture to it and in fact somehow though you don't know how as you look at it it almost looks as though the water itself has like tumorous growths on it it looks as though the water itself is just this like writhing pool of rot I'm gonna reach for the back of Picturn's shirt and very quickly pull him back toward me Picturn get away Can you give me an athletics check? Yeah I'm not very strong that's a war Yeah Why are your athletics so bad? You go up to Picturn I'm fast not strong And and and place place like a hand like it's it's your attempt to pull him back but it's more like a gentle pat on his shoulder as he's like staring out at this you know you know I I thought there was a chance And he's just looking out at this like waterfall A chance that what Picturn Yeah I would fix all this I just thought we could fix all this What do you mean by all this And Vali disappears literally disappears like was there one moment all of you were seeing her go up to Picturn and then she vanishes from sight Let's take our break here Alright Let's see what happens next time Alright We're back So I'm telling these motherfuckers Hello I'm eating comfort cheese Is it mayonnaise It's not mayonnaise It is in fact like these little blocks of snack cheese They bring me great comfort in times like this So how do you eat them do you eat them with like little toothpaste and go and you like eat it all Do I what sorry Do I white girly I have not seen any girlies doing that like I do I thought that was a me thing I didn't think that was a white woman thing Very girly pop anyway girly pop girly pop Hi Hi Thurston Things happened What's going on Am I dead Yeah Yeah So Wally disappears In the immediate instant that that happens Rahua Your light goes out Covering all of you in darkness Huh The only sound you hear is the rushing of the water What are each of you doing Uh who wants to go first So this looks pretty No you can go ahead I was waiting for someone to go besides me they didn't want to take spotlight too much but You want to go just go sensing something up Vic is going to close her eye her remaining eye and she is going to listen for the sound of any movement nearby and any move that gets made is going to be followed up immediately by being hit by something Okay Gang we should uh we should possibly stick together something something's very wrong Um Yeah sticking together is nice Pictern Pictern you are acting strange Where did where did Volley go Pictern where did you where did everybody go I don't know Keep talking little man uh Thurston can I roll a perception to try and pinpoint where Pictern is Absolutely Okay you're gonna say he's like around us in like 360 degrees but I'm going to you know do that anyway Uh nat 20 with a 33 Uh yeah you can tell approximately how close Pictern is uh if you had to guess he's somewhere about 15 feet north of your current position based on the voice Okay I'll go ahead speaker you go now Um I'm going to so we're in a new location like we're now drawing water are we in the same location but there's no You still hear the sound of the waterfall it's just the light went out none of you have like dark vision or anything so Okay I'm gonna do something that I never thought I would Um How long would it take to reapply the essence of the shining martinet Oh no Um well let me pull pull it up because I believe I believe the essence of the shining martinet special ability there was um oh gosh let me see here do I not have the full rules for in here it's like it's in a different document if I recall correctly um I believe like it's the special the special version of it that takes yeah um yeah the special version of it is the one that seems to take the the longer amount of time so it's like it's like 10 minutes and requires like a crafting kit and shit to do oh that's very sad um uh do I have any other tricks up my sleeve yeah I'll uh I'll shoot an electric arc up up the ceiling to briefly illuminate the scene for like a round yeah sure um so I'll just move my hand up and it won't be a consistent light source but it should be enough to at least like reveal um what the hell is going on yeah um um since you're firing a lightning bolt into the air uh I guess I'll have Vic charge at Victor then I don't I don't know what you're doing you scared the shit out you fired a lightning bolt in the middle of the darkness I probably said hold on a moment okay there's a flash of light and it is enough for you to very very briefly see the positions of your companions like it illuminates the room long enough that you see Orin Rahua and Victrix standing exactly where they were before all right with that said I'm going to approach Picturd and thus the waterfall okay you do not see Picturd I do not see Picturd okay correct in that case I'm going to go to um uh my companions I'll go to Rahua and I'll go to Orin and I'll just tap them both on the shoulders I'm right here that's two of us accounted for that'll be your go uh Rahua uh Rahua now reunited with at least two of our group members will try and make his way along with another two towards Victrix she's great you cautiously advance up uh Victrix you hear the sounds of like the cracking tree man approaching uh she is going to she pinpointed pick turn last turn as being 15 feet north uh I will barreling charge at that okay just at that location we'll see what I hit yeah give me an attack actually give me a roll me a d20 first okay boom it is a one okay so you hit air you just start swinging into air okay you you you just hear grunting and swishing and swooshing as she sprints forward and swings into nothingness okay is that all I can do for that one or can I try and attack again you can try to attack again absolutely all right I will d20 again yeah flat check to see if you can hit 11 okay roll me an attack roll strike 17 or map minus 5 map minus 5 okay swinging it 27 roll me damage 13 oh okay yeah you hear this as like you hear pick turn shout out in pain knew not to trust you you little shit and I knew I knew I couldn't trust you either calm down what is going on you hear splashing of water do the light thing I want to attempt to recast everyone roll me perception for initiative now in fact yeah everyone roll me perception for initiative here I will set you no not you you have been unmade you cannot do that yeah you I got sent to the shadow realm bro that's right you did you're in the other campaign now Florida oh no what do you mean oh no oh no okay what do we got here 26 33 yeah yeah podcast people tan handers rolled a 25 or 21 or an a 33 and victrix a 26 yeah okay um just updating one thing here don't let me go guys we gotta stick together holds holds tan house and rua tiley we just gotta wait for rua to cast one light i'm i'm working on it hurry up rua slaps hand hurry up just do it okay we'll start with rua are you gonna cast light rua yes i was going to before we get the roll for initiative yeah perfect so we'll start off on your turn then with you casting light and i will bring you all back to here okay um and that would be two of your actions rua you do not see anything else in the area picturn i strongly strongly encourage you to stop whatever you're doing here we would we're friends after all and you've seen what happens to people who aren't my friends you've seen what happens to them hick turn and i'd like to intimidate oh okay sure nat 20 nat 22 fuck holy fuck we're we are we are burning through our 20s this game huh okay yeah you you you say this and there is definitely like uh i know i know i know i know i know um okay okay okay um hmm let's take here i like how you've only got the invisible effect on him which means we can still just see him i know it's it's fair i mean you know i could let you see other things but i won't just because all right you know what picturn becomes visible uh after having cast invisibility and he begins by doubting just unleashing a tirade as he turns corporeal and targeting you um just unloads yeah i know because you murder people that's what you do you don't help anyone but yourselves you only like me because i have my cabin and my my floating disc and my bag pops that's the only reason you never helped me you all treated me like garbage you said mean things to me i thought i could be friends i thought i could make it work with you but now you're all evil you're all bad people he'll cast blistering invective um so i would like uh rahua can you click on that will save for me yeah i love that he's targeting rahua with that yep it's just like why him because rahua is the one who started uh okay so you will succeed so you only take uh half the persistent fire damage so that's okay so you'll only take 1d6 persistent fire and for whatever reason i have to i have to fix fix this because persistent damage got bonked again uh okay so you are now uh on fire from uh from picturd's like tirade as literally the ground around you combusts and he just shouts and spends his next action doing something he has never really done before and draws a short sword oh no he's packing Lauren oh and then he also takes um a little bleed four points of bleed damage uh but recovers from uh the bleed from the strike that victrix had laid into him 10 house you're no longer hasted right uh i doubt it no no he would not be touch oh hey hey hey you're hasted wow wow wow wow wow wow yeah just put that little freaking dang on here now that i don't have the fucking effects on and uh basically cast haste on tan house for two actions and uh for orange last action he'll look at picture and it's like uh but but picture like like you have to understand impressions grow with time you know we want we want you to come with us back to outset pick turn we want you here because we want you we can prove it you can throw the backpipes away you can you don't have to use the cabin anymore we want pick turn we don't want it we don't want any other stuff we want you and that's the end of orange turn as he tries to appeal to him can i roll a diplomacy check to see you absolutely can you absolutely can which is the worst thing i have a zero yep well you chose to do it i roll an eight well oh oh you want me you know i'm i'm a squelchfoot every time i talk about the squelchfoots you don't care you always cut off my stories you never say oh let's come back to that story pick turn no you always cut me off and just use me use me okay um i'm gonna regret this victrix you're up next sorry there's a beach of drag quick and all the tan house are there oh yeah go ahead my bad go ahead uh he's in range of me uh-huh because i have the plus i have the range on the glaive so she is going to uh strike him as a free action can i speak yeah of course you can go ahead go right ahead victrix if you lay another hand on pick turn you'll be next in the grave gonna roll a d20 here okay i'm gonna say above 10 she might listen below that probably not i think that it's might listen no cocked die roll it i saw it it was cocked you want that doesn't count well you know is this is this is the character i got here and she's a fucking asshole so she's taking a swing yep you don't tell me what to do 20 27 imagine if you missed she would have been distracted because senhauser distracted her so you know it's not because she's a bad fighter my character is cool cope cope cope swinging that damage 16 oh very good yeah yeah pick turn takes 16 points of damage is bleeding staggers back in the water somewhat see you're all monsters every one of you you can soar with monsters you only care about yourselves i'm gonna show you a monster you little shit second attack yes i'm going to dragging strike i'm gonna pull him out of the water if i can oh yeah uh press so i have to do this afterwards that's fine all right here we go sorry pick turn that's all right she'd fucking missed like a bitch you have a hero point they have one can i use your villain points instead nope i i don't know how we're gonna handle this situation we're gonna handle it as best we can just the two of us we can make it if we try with that i'm going to reposition her to there actually wait if he's there does she whatever i'm just gonna move there okay there she goes okay and that's that's that's it for victrix i'm glad you didn't haste her tanhouser you're up i mean touch range oh god what the fuck do i do well it's a bad situation all right our swashbuckler is gone our one bard is losing his ever-living mind possibly to the rot and then we have a tree and the one person we led into and then our one person that we brought in is going psycho crazy and instead of talking is stabbing him to death and either we're starting to pvp or we just get rid of one other problem pector and listen to reason it's not just your bagpipes or your cabin but also your hat and your good attitude without you we wouldn't have made it through the swamp and if you think we're monsters then think of all the good we've done for the people of this swamp you've been with us through gorgamonger's passing you've been with us through all sorts of different accolades yes it's true vitrix is a psychotic monster that we maybe should murder but you you are the best of us don't give in to this madness and uh yeah let's roll my negative two diplomacy very good by the way i'm gonna say this speaker you made an excellent job interposing between vic and him uh we'll nanite surge to make it a completely neutral roll okay that's a 13 that's a big number if it doesn't work i'll use a hero point feel free to use a hero point all right let's rock baby oh the 20 winked at me all right well that's an 8 so my dog you do have three hero points i can't re-roll more than once or else i just can't knock us no oh i didn't realize you re-rolled it already fuck well i probably should have been happy with my 13 i have seen you treat people like garbage anyone you come across just use them just like me you were mean to tashty you were mean to the people in the kabu you just you say these witty remarks thinking people don't hear them like we're not here i am not witty picturn no you're worse you're cruel uh rahua oh hold on hold on hold on hold on buckaroo bonsai i spent one move action oh yeah true enough true enough true enough okay yeah uh is it like clear to me at all whether this is picturn's own doing or whether picturn is suffering from reefer madness of some kind uh you could certainly use a seek action to perceive to sense motive what's going on on him that sounds delightful let's try that yeah what you probably do it before the uh the damocles sword that has picked victrix does something bad well i'll a-op you i guess if you do listen man i'm playing how i i know i'm not i'm not i'm not blaming you okay i'm blaming the beast you control blaming your character the beast that i was controlled by you i just controlled and operated by you um i don't know which are my beautiful skills perception ah that is a most beautiful skill you perceive the horseshit aww that's a natural one so we'll be re-rolling that no you won't you can't oh okay remember our rolling we've been doing for a while now that you can't re-roll ones for complications oh my god no because i didn't have to roll let your ones the heck is complications okay complication i'm so glad it happened to you i would encourage you to pick one that's not funny thurston oh oh i i agree i absolutely remember remember dear listeners can i just say the one at the bottom of the list which i'm not using is simply entitled suddenly a dirigible um i'm just gonna not use how can we have the dirigible impact this emotional scene ah or the ground as he's looking through complications remember chat and listeners if you yourself would love to submit your own complication you can go to patreon.com forward slash narrative declaration where you too can submit to the big pool that we have of people submitting their funny he-hoos and serious ha-has uh for these awesome scenes to happen because we can't re-roll natural ones oh oh okay um that's that's a potential um oh gosh yeah i think i have to go with this one from our good friend my name jers um because it's very appropriate to the moment it's just going to make this even more awkward um but also is not not a ha-ha funny um it's entitled server muted um and the the the long and the short is is uh something has occurred that causes you to temporarily lose the ability to speak as tanhauser is struck by pick turns like vicious blows against the the comportment of you and your companions you suddenly find yourself for once bereft of words you can communicate through other actions however okay so as i turn to look at victrix and you can cast spells i should i uh i i look at victrix and i go one more and then clearly there's something wrong with my voice recording so i try fucking with it shrug my shoulders i take out my sword and i'm going to begin gesturing quite intimidatingly towards her while keeping her at sword's length from pick turn uh hopefully uh enunciating my point rather severely excellent you have you have you have done the uh world of warcraft tank aggro and i i guess that's that's my turn my my turn of failure all right we uh switch initiative to the burning tree whoops um which will take six points of damage at the end of the burning trees round because i skipped but ruhuah you're up picturn you must understand sometimes good people must do bad things the world is dying there is a cancer seething underneath all of creation surely some lives must be expended to save the greater whole it has always been about the greater good we do not go after these people you can help make a difference yes your stories are long but that's just besides the point you're still a wonderful person we don't have to do this let us help you let you help us we are happy to let you share in this bounty that you have made and we can do so much more good you need only come to your senses and i'm gonna try diplomacy as well i'm also not very good at it but give yourself a minus four circumstance penalty oh fuck as something you said there something you said there immediately sets picturn off no that's pretty bad that's pretty fucking bad you you you you make this well the well ruhuah is still on fire you make this impassioned plea and and picturn's eyes turn away from like tanhauser and the victrix towards you and there's this moment of like almost camaraderie and then you make the comment of joy in this bounty and his like eyes just seem to seem to intensify um and he like his his like mouth like curls slightly oh joining you i can't that's the problem i can't because you're special and i'm not um do you wanna do you wanna give me a perception check as well ruhuah because i know like that was something tanhauser did but sure fuck me running 22 uh yeah you know in this case though it's not a nat 1 it's it's one of the few times you've ever done a perception check in this party when it's not been a nat 1 on picturn uh you can now for the first time paying attention to young picturn squelchfoot definitely see the signs of rot infection under his eyes much like volley this cannot continue i'm gonna casually masatsu up to picturn and i am going to lightly plunge the rot the mossy mace into him okay i'm going to attempt to non-lethally strike him to dispel some of the rot okay some more of like basically giving him a gut punch but not trying to uh donut him i'ma beat the rot out of you boy tanhauser scolding victrix stop killing him ruhuah tenhauser just looking at you like oh i'm gonna make an example out of this rot infection today bruh ah did he roll target give me an attack roll give me an attack roll with it sure club him clubberlang oh 34 uh that will crit roll me crit damage he's asking to do this not i did i did specify non-lethally oh i understand what you specified roll crit damage okay it's max damage okay um add 10 onto that one sec um you like bring the mace like try to plunge it into him and picturn gasps and recoils violently as you do so um like the proximity of the moss just causes him to stagger suddenly the growths in his eyes begin to almost like uh metastasize and spread until his entire face has this rotten look to it as though like just by bringing this mossy mace in such close proximity you've now like cut away the top layer revealing just the terrifying cancer underneath oh no oh no um that'll be the end of your turn yep that'll be the end oh wait during that roll to uh resolve the end end the turn and then just click the resolve button and i'll do the six damage that you've got so um so actually here i'll do the you can click that roll recovery it might still be there for you to do oh yeah so so with your epicness you stop burning you will however take that six points which i'll drop that's fine there as the the fire burns and then picturn like just like screaming um like raises his free hand up to you and um unloads with uh several magic missiles um and fires uh three of them at you pew pew pew doing 12 ouchy yeah doing 12 damage to ruhua his three missiles impact you he staggers back um his round ends let's see here and he collapses backwards as the the bleeding wound from uh from victrix sort of overwhelms him and he like tumbles falls backwards into the rotten water and as this happens he cut to somewhere else volley here old roshi rider yeah hi hi thursta so as as as you know you you you put your hand on picturn's shoulder there's there's a flash and you find yourself hearing sounds of merriment there's like jovial shouting everything's kind of etheric here though like you you feel something's off you feel you're in some kind of like uh forest swampland the ground here is sort of in various degrees of like state it's it's tough to tell exactly you know what's around here as you are moving about um but you you can tell that this this area is somewhere outdoors um there's tree cover you see what appear to be several um several wagons and you see shapes they're kind of like semi semi semi corporeal they have like almost like a intangible look to them they appear to be humanoids that you you hear the sounds of merriment and joy from them um you kind of hear their their their speech but their speech comes out sort of like um the charlie brown like teacher talk like wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah um and and you you take all of this in and suddenly that merriment disappears as first of all crossbows the sound of twanging crossbows goes out uh then you hear these the sounds of of burning flame like washes of fire and dancing moats of flame like elementals creatures emerge out from from the forest here and begin cavorting setting men ablaze and these sort of strange etheric figures that you're seeing are running and screaming it is pandemonium here what are you doing that's a loaded question um yeah i so all of the figures are indistinct like i can't really make out people can i correct okay i am going to well first i'm going to draw my sword just in case uh and i'm going to make a break for what seems to be the heart of the chaos yeah so so you you you draw your weapon and begin rushing forward and there's this strangeness to your to your gate as you move because what you you feel is like you're on even though they wouldn't have these back then but you're on like a treadmill you're running but you're not getting closer in a strange way instead what you're seeing is as you run the events seem to speed up you see people who are getting you know shot down by crossbow bolts some being burned alive suddenly you see several figures are rushing towards different um like caravans and crates uh some like some of them must must be the attackers and they're offloading chests and cracking them open with feet and then some direct elementals to burn while others just ignore them and you you see all of this happening and you're still desperate to rush towards it you keep running it's actually causing you to lose your breath a little bit um and as as this all continues and you have this sort of this attempt i guess to to reach it you have to catch your breath you have to stop running towards it you breathe momentarily and that's when you see a figure that is more distinct standing here um and you see a figure that is looking at the back of one of these uh these open sort of carts uh and on the back of the cart you can very clearly see a box with the stamped emblem of the medics guild of outset similar to the one that you saw in the cavern earlier though this one is far far newer the one you saw in the cavern earlier like might have been decades old um but as as you see this and the figure staring at it you recognize not just because of how distinct they are and how like how they are they're obviously not part of whatever the sort of muted nature of the other beings are but you you recognize it because it is a large tree man that is staring into the back of this cart it is rahua what are you doing rahua rahua what's happening where are the others as you shout the words to rahua rahua there is this brief moment as rahua's head starts to turn slightly and then one of the figures runs through rahua and as this figure runs this indistinct figure runs through rahua rahua blinks and disappears from this scene and instead you see the the small figure actually take more shape as it runs through rahua some kind of connection potentially of what happened this childlike figure rushes to the back of the of the cart like clearly brandishing some wounds um crossbow bolts that have wounded his side right and you see picturn squelch foot much less tattered the clothing everything looks you know immaculate none of the damage you've seen since you know the your your many travails together picturn who has been shot by two crossbow bolts desperately opens the crate on the back of the cart and you can feel it in the air that picturn is desperately trying to get medical supplies and as he opens the crate he's barely able to stop it from basically flipping over on him as he's desperately scuttling to move it open and pulling it back at the same time and as the crate falls on him a black wash comes out and it floods over him it's it's comical almost it's like it begins flooding everything it begins filling reality it drowns you in darkness oh no and as you say oh no this same effect overtakes your companions as well and in the place where your companions are each of them see as picturn has fallen into the water that the rot seems to rise and encompass everything and just a moment later you all find yourselves somewhere very different than where each of you were before you find yourselves in a in a place of dark green grass of tattered roadways of fences of pastures and fields and of buildings the sides of which are completely covered in growing black tumorous molds and even the space around the very edges of the location each of you now find yourself in are like cut off there's no horizon here there's only an inky blackness that eats at the edge of reality and for chat's sake i will tell you because the players can currently see this the name of this map is simply entitled the bake sale and each of you like find yourselves here now sort of looking at one another um and you hear only one sound this like the sound of shoveling guys are you i'm gonna reach out and i'm going to like down the line just touch rahua and then tanhouser and then victrix tanhouser looks deep into your eyes and he says because i'm muted do they all feel real to me thurston they all feel real i don't think we're in time anymore guys what the fuck just happened something's wrong something's really wrong here i think i fell i think um i think i know what happened to pick turn as uh as oran is listening to what volley is saying he's casting mossy weapon on everyone what size for everyone because he's got one he's like wah wah wah wah so i'll i'll start doing that as everyone else does stuff it's like what did you see what do you see valley i saw the caravan attack they had some of those those medics medics guilds crates the same ones we found with gorgamonger one of them spilled over on top of him and i don't know if he's already dead or if it was just eating away at him the whole time but wait he was rotten this whole time i don't know how he couldn't tell i mean clearly i'll tell you how you couldn't tell because none of you fucking rolled more than a nat one the few times you ever perceived him yay the dice we never noticed we never noticed the signs were there it didn't manifest like it did with me and oran it's we gotta find him what happened where is he well i i i saw it i saw what you mean valley what i tried to help him i saw the i saw the creeping sick on his eyes like you but when i hit him it just it was like ripping off a a bandage and all that was left under was not skin but sweet sick rot he's consumed he is i don't know if there's anything left of him if it was just a puppet we we can take him back to the kaibu we can take him to ribius i don't ribius said that he could they said that he could cleanse the rot right he's not sponsored it sounds like he's dead it's time to put him in the dirt victrix shut up we've got to try we have just got to try let's find him and see what we can do victrix if he is too far gone then you do what you have to but i swear to god if you act before we do i'll stop you she just glares between the four of you and just shoulders her glaive i would like to roll perception check to see the direction of the shoveling yeah sure oran got 11 on the die for 26. all right so oran um you kind of just stride a little bit past volley just a little um and you see a figure right around here on the map just mark it wait a little white circle oval it's it's a it's a halfling um sized figure who is currently using a shovel and digging a hole in the ground big turn oran's kind of like hunched over like it's it's almost comical how small this one is based on the the hunch they have yeah horrible um i'll move just one action for movement just so i don't like super extend past you yeah over here to try to get more side on is it picked hard uh as you you cross and you can see the sort of like writhing rot on the sides of the buildings here you turn uh and see the the figure it's it's it's a halfling but it's it's an elderly woman halfling and she's digging with the shovel excuse me have you looking for our friend pick turn can't have it you can't have it it's my gold i've got to find my gold well we uh oran will motion everybody else if they want to move in with them but um he goes we don't want your girl we we want pick turn have you have you seen a little guy pass by backpipes funny hat i'll find it nobody nobody believes me that i'll find it but i'll find it oran turns everybody else in the distance and he's like shrugging victrix shrugs back at him she has no idea what she's doing anymore he got told not to kill nobody and as as you do that and like turn back um the the the strange like halfling leans over and falls into the hole she's dug and you hear a sickly cracking sound oh oran just like every horror movie will run towards the danger okay to see oran don't run off he runs off okay he looks at the hole what scp is this one as you look in the hole you see that the hole is empty i just saw i just saw something to get eaten by a hole did you forget did you forget i tried to tell you the voice echoes from all around but it was just one of them one of those stories you didn't let me finish about my grandma who dug for gold but you didn't let me finish what happened big turn oran immediately rushes to tanhouser tanhouser you remember any of any of picturing stories right putting you on the spot yeah tanhouser looks at you and says thank you i wanted that thank you he goes jordan ruah vally do you remember any of the stories well don't you remember can you name five of my family members tanhouser with his arms crossed like and this really fucking sucks because i actually remember them but guess who's not here yes i remember cousin billy miss and brother tanhouser we just learned about but i don't know his grandma's name i'm gonna go back to the group too or i'm gonna go back to the group okay see odoroshi has a terrible memory when it comes to these things but could i make some kind of role to see if volley would remember because he's kind of our little guy no all right fair enough screams to the sky going you can't make you can't blame me for my memory my bird brain memory that's ableist it's been like four months i bring up different siblings every episode why do you think i can't since he showed up you did this on purpose you tantalized me with being able to play this fucking bitch so you couldn't use my actual memory of all the dumb fucking names to apply it here i fucking love you erindel i'm going to vixstrix stabs the ground why don't you come out now remember oh talked about all going back to come out now we talked about going back to outset together we're we're like a crew right uh oh okay um so as you say that you you see something um a figure emerges atop the mound of rot it actually seems to climb out of the rot from the small building to your to your immediate east it stands atop it elevated about 10 feet above and looks down at you holding a hand up high that swirls with dark like strange magics and clutching a set of dripping bagpipes oh hi there i guess it's time you meet them i want you to meet my family i've talked about them so so much and at the same time you begin hearing squelching sounds as around you from the mounds of rot in this area figures begin to emerge and crawl out of the muck mire of the rot and you see them emerging one even at the base of the building where picturn is and as they all begin to crawl out you see these horrific squelch foot like creatures that are replete with the rot oh um sorry i need to do a few things if all of you could uh you know roll me uh uh perception for initiative now would be a great time terrific now put yourself in combat yep before you roll uh oren rolled a 12 for a total of 16 on his perception victrix never left time for 28. that's uh an 11 or a 7 for an 18. 17 over here i'm gonna hold on to that that'll be fine i don't care excellent excellent excellent okay um boop boop boop boop boop he rolled he rolled he rolled his pictures at the start now oh christ all right and with that picturn having emerged on top of the building louding over you let's see if this works not the health bar i'll i'll fix this up jack and see it but uh we added a dark souls health bar i'll i'll edit it here in a sec but uh oh boy picturn's first action will be to cast a spell please be the cabin please be the cabin it is the cabin oh no the cabin's gonna we're gonna have the the fucking death house situation from ff7 picturn begins casting a spell and from the ground between where volley and rahua are standing a cabin bursts out from from from the ground not picture's creepy cat i love the name of the spell consuming cabin yes um if i can get rahua and uh volley to please click on those reflex saves for me oh boy fuck nope nope and 27 that's a critical success as an evasion i don't know if i should fucking hear him like that you're gonna hear a point that rahua yeah only one that's true fuck it's 66 peepsing i'm gonna fucking i'm gonna hero point it let's go roll it up strictly speaking you have less than a 50 chance of getting a higher score but you got better bitch you bet you were wrong i'm helping tempt you all right you will take eight points of piercing damage as the cabin bursts from the ground it like like coming out almost from a pool of rot like the ground itself is not real it's like pull it pulls back as though it has teeth just of wooden planks that drill into your own uh wood and then picturn begins to play his bagpipes oh no yes um that's his bagpipes no no and he is inspiring all of his minions oh no it's your go uh hey gm since i want to get this cleared up straight away can we have that mossy weapon effect or do we not do that uh just you we'll just we'll just count it as so we'll start on this round and you have it for um for 10 rounds i know technically it would like zoran would have to pick orders on it but i've already tried to do your skull thing but it's all yeah you're just got to manually think about it it's i like i don't have the coding to do a spell effect and honestly all it does is it counts the weapons so like it's not something that um foundry would manage anyways with it's all right i i was just asking so we could do that let us yeah no no you all have it you all have it unless of course oran decided not to give victrix a buff i don't know i gave everybody one so all right so what oran's going to do is immediately uh god this one turned into a dinosaur so bad but that's not a terrible plan uh is the house targetable it's a house a thing because i don't see it as a token it is not it is akin to a flaming sphere got it all right huh which yes means he can direct the cabin on his turn so warren's going to do is that he's going to move up for one for one action for up to 10 feet this way just to make sure that he's within and he's got to go 10 more feet sorry get up to here and he's going to electric arc uh the one of the pig turn's cousin and pick turn himself so he's going to go crack a tomb and so um i'm gonna see if i can do this for you i'm not quite sure no i cannot all right yeah so you can target both of those and do the reflex save thing and then uh or just do it on the bottom there and it'll do it one got a critical failure and picture succeeded what the fuck is it plus 19 all right i will roll my damage electric arc goes one of them will take okay you will do double damage on the one and then you will do regular damage to picture in the rotten as the electricity arcs and like there's a momentary like squeal of the bagpipe as picturing like recoils back would picture technically take half because he succeeded oh yeah yeah that's right thank you yeah yeah heal him now i know i don't see him team but you know just in case you know i'll be fair no i i approve i approve okay that's all of oran's turn so that is him okay just this okay i'm just giving this break okay cool um rahua you're up all right i'm gonna take this opportunity to say oh this is fucking sucks and i'm going to cast a spell magic on the cabin as i raise up my hands and try and unleash a roiling tide of chaos to abate this nightmare that has sprung up around us okay yeah past it there we go counteract okay um see here that will not be enough to counteract the cabin fuck yeah someone did put a whole bunch to give you another hero plane i did see that but it's like 13 on the die already i want to reroll it but i feel like i'm really reaching if i'm doing that no that's a five on the die you had was a five on the die yeah you have a plus 13. you have a plus 13. yeah all right yeah let's just one fucking reroll that we'll pretend i didn't see that you have a chance to roll better no i crook fail let's go make a second cabin mercifully you just fail to counteract well yes but it also complicates thank you oh no i'm sorry i'm sorry hoki hoki i'm sorry i thought i'm not gonna hear it i'm not gonna sugarcoat it it's not good all right so so i i'm not gonna say it you're not gonna hear it and the next person to complicate doesn't get to see it true how could you okay all right all right i like this one it's just very very appropriate it's from laser beastman uh it's called avatar of sad a small black personal rain cloud appears above the caster's head and proceeds to rain on them for a number of hours equal to the spells level as reality just manifests your disappointment in this strange alien place you got pissed on by reality yeah no fucking kidding you have an action left though that's true i'm gonna use this to move away from it please sure i'm gonna put myself in an optimal position here yeah no fuck i'm sorry valley i can't help right now just doesn't leave it doesn't look good hit the bricks if it sucks at the bricks okay it's going very badly um let's see here yeah what's gonna happen uh i do know what's gonna happen i think i don't remember any of these cousins how many cousins did victor have he had a bunch of cousins they begin rushing one of them rushes towards you rahua tanhauser your go all right tanhauser is going to uh get out his grappling hook i'm gonna do some spicy okay i'm going to actually shoot my grappling hook for the roof of the cabin and i'm going to spend a hero point to try to narratively declare something i can't normally do i'd like to use it uh and like use the momentum of this short grapple move to build up enough speed to shoot over it and wind up close to pick turn uh rather than have to like you know spend my turn getting there i figure i can get away with it because i'm hasted okay so what sayeth a v to that yeah i'd say give me a let's go with uh athletics probably i'm guessing there is the got it yeah give me an athletics check for for this we'll see how this plays out i'll give you the same thing i gave to uh yeah that's a three on the dice okay yeah i might be good oh shit i just set my initiative to that number um no well don't do that we're let's try again you just want to go there so that'll get you like double buys that will be okay but not as great um it's basically gonna get you to about there oh yeah as you basically like spring across kind of like landing like just just shy of where you intended to uh yeah i'll take that um and then is there like uh an upwards angle here or is this like relatively like i could just walk to here for 15 feet uh there is like an upward angle it's essentially like difficult terrain to trudge up it well okay yeah i'll um i mean i could since i have super move and i would still be able to spell to strike somebody i take an a off from the cousin uh or i could teleport to pick turn but then i'd get a map penalty for my head um pick turn if i recall doesn't have the biggest ac in the world he's got a boss help bar now though yeah that that's true his stats could be wildly different but um what to do what to do what to do um well uh i'll risk it for the biscuit i'm going to dimensional uh jump to over yonder to right in front of picture actually we'll go right behind or like yeah it's here it's probably the best place okay probably behind and not getting the mario sunshine oh yeah fair enough let's not get into the mario sunshine gear can i uh get teleported over yonder yeah cool i get to make a basic attack and i will do so yep strike that would be a 30. you will hit all righty then let's rock some damage uh nine plus i think one because of laughing shadow am i in laughing shadow i don't think i know you're not oh yeah yeah i'm not okay yeah so just nine yeah you cause him to recoil back and like again the bag piping stops and then i'm going to spell strike here um so i will be taking a map for this uh but i'll live with that and we'll be spell striking with a uh level two shocking grasp so let's rock sure thing with a 31. all right that'll hit yeah give me a little dimaggio thanks check reminder remember moss weapon damage yep uh it doesn't do damage it just procs weaknesses if he has so yep yeah it's on my end and then we'll get the shocking grasp nice roll a 12 12 and a nine on the d12s look at that health bar go oh that's a chunk so just as i uh uh pierce through him and uh tan hauser uh thinks his famous catchphrase and and then sister can he talk yet no no that's why all right one of the cousins comes oh wait uh oh no this is right because this messed up because because of tan hauser one sec i want to i want to as you figure it out as tan hauser's about the name of the assault um is that orange like wow dan there's a good job high five orange sad he goes huh i'm gonna lose oh i lost two friends so far this adventure am i did i have ten hauser in the right place now right yeah it was uh after that one yeah cousin tan hauser right yeah no next thing you can always just drag him it should work there that's what i did i'm just making sure i had him in the right place yeah you're good you're good you're positive all right this cousin comes out towards you this like rotten figure comes towards you and just starts like speaking its head like twitching back and forth towards you rahua and it just says bake sale bake sale bake sale bake sale bake sale bake sale um and it reaches out at you with a claw it will hit you oofy owie fuck that's a lot of damage that's a lot it will hit you for 19 as you realize that it's like companion behind is taking advantage of your positioning and it's like breaking around very sensitive areas like around your sphere and then it uses its last action to grab you and holds you in place hold he still okay volley you're up oh dearie me uh i feel like dealing with pick turn is our biggest threat right now but i really don't want to leave rahua to just eat shit um doing damage to the cousins did damage to the health bar right did it yeah because the health bar went no no no you you did a shit on a thing that oh am i psychotic okay yeah yeah you lose your mind that's that's that's dark souls logic never mind we're not playing the game right now true hey i'm gonna turn to victrix all right fuck me i guess go ham and i'm going to take off running with my first action here at the edge of the rot uh i'm not going to tumble through the rot that's a terrible idea but i am going to uh use my second action to make a long jump to try to get here okay um i don't know how much verticality i need to get but you'll need to give me a uh an athletics check yes i sure will oh god why have i not been leveling up my athletics because i always think jumping is acrobatics yo could i could i narratively declare that i'm doing a backflip up there absolutely if you want to spend that uh hero point of yours to potentially switch that to acrobatics yeah if you want to spend the hero point totally yes i'll do the hero point because it's a plus 16 versus a plus two so i'd call it worth yeah mark volley down the hero point please wait wait wait wait wait wait wait hold on but before you do that um do we have any idea what the touching the goopy goop does yeah over it that's true but there's very few places for you to land that aren't also in the goopy goop yeah i'm trying to get past him here yeah if you onto the roof okay yeah yeah yeah if you think you could do that then by all means i'm just standing in the printer ink yeah if i whiff it i'll have to spend my last action to get out of it but luckily i can use uh long jump for one action rather than two fairfucks to your boil oh shite uh acrobatics what oh that will be i'll give you a 32 thurston all right and panache yeah yeah panache all right molly please put points into athletics i beg you i am that is the first thing i'm doing the next level i should have done that instead of performance but uh so i'm going to wheel around after landing behind pick turn and just i'm so sorry little buddy and i'm going to just jam my sword into his back okay next step uh making an attack can you do it can you do it can i do it please go ahead and hit that does hit can you can you dead island trailer reverse throw a child out of a window to uh i've got finisher checked so that should do it there she goes uh 17 points of damage nice look at that bar let that bar go it sure is a good thing pick turn doesn't have much health i don't like that he doesn't have uh that much health on this phase wow why would you why would you think um all right is that it for you go yeah uh yeah oh and i'll click the panache off of me uh yeah that's my go cool we take those cool uh excellent uh this brings us to billimus that's why that's the one that's facing the other direction yes um speaker will you roll me a d20 i would love to thank you since you were the voice of billimus i i i am the voice of billimus that is true yay the one winked seven okay perfect perfect um oran will a 19 hit your ac probably not uh that sweats uh no i won't the shits okay so billimus comes up to you and like begins like clawing like the creek the creek the creek i don't want to go to the creek victrix you're up um let me just look back up at the thingy from what i can tell about the funny thing is that the cabin yeah the cabin if i move through its space i have to make the reflex save right no no i can just move through it yeah start of your turn okay in that case in that case i'm going to barreling charge at uh yeah this guy i recommend going behind it if you can so you can get a flank but i'm not flying from the side no you need to be behind opposite like line through so you want to be here if you can can i be back diagonal nope has to be a straight line through hey has to go through the center basically you got you have range well your movement's 30 right yeah but that puts no my movement's 25. oh that would do it yeah yeah you have to do two actions to do it uh you have sudden charge right you're a fighter right what did you do but that wouldn't be behind him yeah well you move twice and then strike is that it yeah yeah do sudden charge you move behind him and you strike once and that'll be your first attack i will sudden charge and put myself i'm sorry the backseat gave me by the way i just want you to no no i wanted to clarify it it's fine so yeah i do that and then i'm going to strike from the back yes you strike into the back of the cousin and then i add a modifier how much for flatfoot i'll automatically handle it yeah i don't know if you'll do it if you're away but we'll find out yeah we'll see uh 34. yeah yeah you got it numbers good job good job all right all right damage all right damage come on do the fucking thing that i need you to do which is roll very big 42. damn and uh vic's going to be useful this combat and i'm going to move him closer to her that way it's not next to rahula okay thank you and then i will map minus five strike it and hopefully kill it we'll see we'll see what happens map attack uh that's a hit that'll it roll me dimaggio uh 16 plus yeah push okay it's barely existing as you continue to smash into it yeah that's the end of vix go that was all three lead should be enough yeah it'll be at the end of its turn but it'll it'll die that might just hit her she'll be okay unless you give her rotten and then she'll be pissed at all of you no no sorry queen at least we have that in common now tedemis runs to there no tedemis no what does tedemis say jedediah runs to there jedediah now i remember that one pick turn goes oh no he goes pick turns first action is to direct the cabin he's gonna reposition no he's repositioning the cabin no um so uh i think oh gosh let me let me double check here as like has poor grappled rahula look from the corner of your vision slit sees the approaching um the approaching consuming cabin um here i'm just gonna cast it again um there uh if you can click on that reflex save uh rahula oh joy yes you must reflex the cabin will do 18 points of damage to you as it begins to chew into you from behind as this thing holds you and is just like bake bake this is a lot like cannibalism because it's a wooden a wooden cabin eating a tree for picturn's next action picturn will utilize his special ability called where family and will trade places oh fuck with tedemis dinkins as reality warps and suddenly tedemis is in front of both tanhauser and folly how could this be tanhauser thinks and then as as that was his special action he now has his final thing and i'm going to uh to have him cast a spell with his final action it's a spell called final sacrifice how many turns this picture and have he gets a special ability to do the swap it's not an action that's right i hate you i hate you yeah i know what final sacrifice does it's all fireballs they turn off he's sacrificing its family and then i'm just gonna just gonna you know just have this uh this special ability here called yeah so um yeah uh so picturn's gonna uh cause poor brother tedemis to explode um so six yeah so it's only going to affect volley and tanhauser so you know volley tanhauser if you uh i can help you out here it's a 20 range right you just do a circle thing oh yeah but it doesn't matter it's not gonna hit anybody it's not gonna hit anyone but but tanhauser and volley so tanhauser volley if you click on that uh uh lovely uh basic reflex save button and see if you survive the sudden uh family member appearing in front of you and then exploding there's nothing more important than family oh shit wait i can't together like family family family family family family family family evasion success yeah i don't i don't understand i guess i guess whatever i guess for who you just take a lot of damage uh no tanhauser you will take uh half of that damn what why is rahula selected don't have him look like i swear to god i don't want to die i didn't i must die no i didn't want that okay um okay that and then i'm okay i've clicked ten those are like eight times this has to fucking apply to ten what is it doing it i swear i don't have him selected or anything uh-huh uh-huh i don't believe you like save is so good it gives you part member control yeah you for some reason as i'm looking here you've had him targeted it's like i have not i do not have him targeted for anything so that's why i don't believe it's so weird okay well fine i'm sniffing at your computer right now yeah i like you look at my all right that's it for him oran you're up well uh before i just for for show ways are are we all good here to potentially go for one more hour uh sure i don't mind okay yeah i don't think i'm good for a full hour but i'm good to play out this combat okay i don't know where the gear went okay so it's my turn uh uh as i said i don't know why i did this um as i'm looking as a look around i have a i have two choices apparently they may either help rahua or do damage and uh just being grappled inside of a cabinet yeah he's having a bad time so what i am going to do is i'm going to cast uh a second level two action heal uh and i'm going to do it at rahua just to help him out okay absolutely i will cast that vulnerable the three and a one of my dice unfortunately but bam i heal works for 20. oh god thank you i cannot heal him myself but if you can do that for me that'll be my two actions and for my last action i am going to cast a spell jump okay just to basically start getting away from things i want to hop up on the roof with everyone else just so i can get a better advantageous position and absolutely as much as i could potentially fly up there this just makes it easier so this should bring me right up here on top of the building whoosh pretty much uh if you can drag me up there uh north of tan oh yeah i've got terrain walls sorry yeah thematically my wings basically just fly up there real quick and land right by uh tanhelser and then is the end of oran's turn okay okay cool all right rahua you are grabbed and being held inside of a house what would you like to do so being grabbed because i've not been put in the situation am i restrained from movement of any kind yeah so yeah so so you can like do manipulate actions but you have to um if you okay so you're immobilized so you can't basically take any actions with the move trait and then um you have to for any other actions you have to do a flat five check so like if you try to cast a spell or something you have to roll like a five or higher otherwise you lose the spell um or you can try the escape action uh i will attempt the escape action first and see if i can get up because i do need that yeah yeah so you can do that with your athletics so sure will a 20 help it will sadly not oh my no it only takes one action to do so but yeah do it again it's a minus five because it's attacked right on it yeah yeah things aren't looking good here for you could cast a spell with your third act with your remaining two actions there's just a like you know one in four chance or one to four chance you lose it right yeah if you roll one one one or four on your d20 flat roll then you just nothing happens but it's a small chance but yours uh i've laid you astray before i'm in the middle of the words fuck i didn't think of this fuck delicious delicious all all attacks you do that are not a save thing is also uh going to be at mp minus five so you can keep trying to escape and then on your last action get out of the house i'm gonna attempt to escape once more fuck oh not acrobatics oh hold on that's oh didn't matter anyway even worse oh you know you were recently given a hero point from chat oh was i oh thank you very much chat let me let me try it again i had to add a hero point to myself and get rid of it i swear to god these dice are cursed oh my god the house the house like begins to like crunch by i can't fucking do anything last action could you cast a spell no he's used two actions he could only do one action cast how many actions to take to spend like cleric fun heal uh you'd have to like cast it normally so it'd be like two or you could do the the one action heal yeah you could do a one action heal which is you just touch yourself and heal yourself true true i'm gonna i'm gonna do that i'm gonna i'm gonna just do one action kill myself to try and keep myself alive wait okay uh roll me a d20 first to see if it happens all right oh it does not have this is a red game so you're like right like you're just trying and this thing is just like activate bike bike as the house is like like biting at you from behind your friends have all abandoned you and gone to the top of this roof bike bike as it's holding you in place and you can't escape bike bike i'm going to set the end of your turn yeah is it unless i have another action uh well the desperate like cousin by victrix is going to now begin swiping madly effect tricks all right here we go missing out missing out missing jesus dies and dies to the bleed nice terrific and like basically swipes at you repeatedly just swiping swiping swiping and then collapses creek she can't keep getting away with this shut the hell up you little pest and then they aren't pissed they're my family and hauser you're up all right man so here's my question to you uh-huh can i see over this wall and see picture yeah okay he looks pretty beat up right sure does okay can i talk yet i don't think we're gonna get anywhere all righty then i will instead look at picture sadly look to the side reach into my back pocket and i'm gonna take the thing that i think is most likely to preserve his immortal soul okay i'm gonna take out the wand of fireball and i'm gonna fire it uh around here to try to catch as many family members in the inferno as i can what's the what's the radius on that yeah what's the radius on that that's a good question because it's not a spell that i own you will actually if you hit if you hit right here yeah like you will you know if you click use on it uh speaker it should pop it down and it'll do all the cool shit for you do you want that i'm assuming yes i'm waiting for the picture no you card to push it five feet to the right counter spell um uh now is that uh how many actions is that one two uh one to draw it okay and then the cast would be two okay sure let's rock uh so i will be doing just that uh i do not have fireball as a spell do you have the wand on your inventory i have it in my inventory let me see here i'm not quite oh oh i see why yeah because because because it's a wand wands are kind of silly that way uh give me a sec here uh i'm just gonna roll the reflex saves because it should be a third level fireball so we'll just make this work out how it needs to okay one sec because i uh click use on their speaker it tell me what it does uh yeah because because they don't have wands for yeah they don't have wands for every spell in in foundry that's the problem because it's just like a wand is an item uh okay so i have to make reflex saves that's the important thing okay okay whoop oh fuck well that's not good yeah what's your spell dc uh speaker um my spell dc in your spell section and yeah my spell dc is 23. yeah so all of them fail so roll me 66 and that'll be the damage they'll take yeah forever for podcast listeners uh pick turn roll a 21 uh and two of the cousins one world a 20 another a 21 and 10 those are just rolled 20. nice boom boom as all of them suddenly take damage from this and you hear again the picture and sort of like recoil back and for my next trick uh hasty i am hastied um yeah i think i'm gonna jump down if that's possible yeah so can i can i jump down to try to avoid you getting hit by the icky splicky you can just like do it like what's your athletics uh my athletics is nine but my acrobatics is 13. yeah make an acrobatics here because you're like hopping down you're not doing like physical exertion you're kind of cool uh 22. yeah yeah you can land where you need to nice okay i'll uh i'll be right here okay sweet and that's the turn okay the cousin pardon me rahua i'm here it lets you go and strikes you missing missing and then it shifts you're aiming at actrix oh was i oh well i actually don't think the ac is yeah so yeah um i'm going to back off with the third action and go into the roch to to flank tanhauser with the other cousin volley oh baby all right um let's see how far is that that's 20 feet that's exactly what i need to hit this man with a from above spend two actions to make a jump your sky piratey dedication that you have yes indeed uh and yeah i'm gonna uh rolling acrobatics yes to fall and maneuver hold on let me double check the wording on that real fast uh foreign gets his scorecard ready for you yeah yeah exactly um there it is make a melee strike deals one additional weapon damage die okay that's what it does all right yeah i'm going to uh hit him with the the peoples from above do it up it's the people's flip uh that'd be a 27 for you uh that will that will succeed so you'll land where you need to and then you can make your attack okie dokie all right uh i did does it rule that we get panache from it it doesn't say it in the it does it does yeah you should you should yeah in fact i think that's like the special line for it oh i i got you yeah i have a macro for panache but it just doesn't yeah i think i think what happens is anytime we update some of the mods it screws up some of the old macros because a bunch of mine are working you're we we from the conversion you probably have the old macro saved on your thing so probably redo it all right anyhow i'm going to whack this guy does hit just barely with the 22 which you will get an extra so roll regular damage and then just add a i think it's a d6 whoa that was that was my finisher yeah oh yeah and then it was uh one more d6 um i don't i don't know if you can do the finisher as part of that how many actions does it do a finisher well because no no no it's because the finisher is a specific type yeah yeah yeah yeah so you you what would happen is you do the from above and then you'd get panache at the end of it but like you do an act you do a regular strike so just do a regular attack okay if you want to if you want to keep the previous roll it was two force on the um two floors and then you roll another one because you have um because you get the extra weapon die so roll me another d6 oh one more all right yeah so 8 12 and okay 13 cool 13 yeah and then you would have panache all right and then i would make another attack map glad yeah and then and then you could do your finisher here yep i don't get to do from above very often no verticality is cool all right uh missed oh no do i re-roll that do you you don't have any hero points oh i don't have any hero points so uh with the finisher he would just take the 3d6 from the finisher damage uh yeah yep so you can just roll that that's it nine all three he's on the die for nine yeah nine cool good job valley that was really cool thanks oren no problem thumbs up don't touch the goop i won't spit some out of his mouth just eating it like pudding uh uh he takes half of the precise strike on a failure not not the full before but yeah okay cool um all right uh is it for volley i get rid of the panache yep that's me okay well um despite being struck cousin billimus is gonna start going to town on speaker hey speaker can you roll me a d20 i would love to roll you a d20 beautiful deep neat and i uh rolled his d20 for the bake sale the bake sale i gotta i gotta remind you all that we are all zombies here we are doing this for the bake sale the bake sale 24 will just hit you um that's i do everything in my life for the bake sale too um so tanhauser will take bop bop bop bop 14 damage as this thing begins clawing into you uh tanhauser can you roll me a second uh d20 please i would love to i keep accidentally rolling d12s or almost rolling d12s that's an eight sir that's not enough to hit but i'm gonna use a villain point to make speaker the attack on himself that's a 12 sir well plus it's not enough sadly boo urns yeah and then just roll me uh we'll go crit fishing with the third action for 20 please sure thing uh so close but so far all right billimus has uh struck you once but failed to do anything else so yeah uh victrix you're up um with one one of the cousins still by you uh can i sudden charge pick turn absolutely then i'm gonna do that i don't care if i don't care if i eat a fucking attack of opportunity i want to get through him no no attack of opportunity from the cousin all right and just a strike here we go yep 15. that'll hit 30. yep roll me damage swingity swing i'll give you a 15. nice 15. okay um pick turn is still up uh uh uh victrix is incensed by that i'm going to uh cry no i'm going to roll uh map minus five oh you dick oh a swing enemy you do have a hero point victrix yeah yeah look at it look at the hero point okay yeah i'll do that right there we roll with hang on i didn't give myself a hero point so now i will try again it's a marginal marginal improvement it danced on that not enough yep all right drop you son of a bitch all right it's the end of your go oh yeah and you're not grabbed all right um so victrix after your go the cousin that was by you uh maneuvers around the cabin to where we're who is oh god damn it and uh this this cousin tries to once again grab you as you have the cabin attacking you rahua and it will hit you and it will grab you motherfucker we're back here again stop boring um and it will do it's attacking tanhauser currently oh it's tech dan as well on target all right uh and then it will do to you why is not tanhauser it's revenge yeah it's real weird sometimes oh i see why okay real all right you take um you take 10 points of damage as it holds you in place and just uses its last action to kind of keep you held there great picturn kiss uh like coughing up blood i see uh picturn will oh uh picturn will step away so it doesn't provoke damn will cast a spell and will cast he will conjure forth in front of you a floating disc oh fucks i love ravenholm and then the disc takes on a spiked appearance destructive oh my god yes i i want picturn to crit fail so he freezes himself yes i want to trust me it was i was i was i was telling jb this week i'm like all right here comes pick turns krillin attack i want to say thank you jamie for accepting the term um eating his ass on the twitch chat thank you thank you i really love that sophie was the one that's all any crit oh yeah oh no oh god that's fine this is victrix she she earns it okay okay so this is a heightened version so this will be my girlfriend one sec one sec this will be 8 d8 damage give her more reasons to kill him okay so that'll be 49 damage or 39 sorry 39 and then you will also have a persistent wait hang on how much damage did you actually do with that one 39 i was actually kind of i was kind of dinky what the fuck but you're a fighter you have a lot of yeah you have a fighter you have a lot of hit points also rolled low on this yeah i know that's what i meant is like this damage i thought it would be higher with 8 d8 not really average of numbers man i ain't complaining that could have gone to rahua and he would have died yeah okay and then for some reason i can't get the persistent damage on correctly but you will be taking persistent uh you'll be taking persistent bleed damage here oh no she knows what it's like to as it's cut and for the the final the the house continues to to munch on you uh rahua um so if you will please i'll just click the cast button on the house again uh ru if you'll click the reflex save option there problem is i think you're targeting me again i am it doesn't matter for for this one because like it's just um um are you fucking kidding me wait hold on hold on picture removed for one action and did a spell for two actions does he get a fourth action with the cabin oh yeah oh yeah he can't do the cabin he can't sustain

oh my god he's still up while my pick turn gently but now he's down the four points of damage applies and picture and begins to stagger back from the skewering that has gone into uh him from victrix his eyes weeping rot he began like the bagpipes drop to the ground the cousins immediately seem to like collapse into sludgy piles on the ground and pick turn like staggers back and looks over at all of you i knew it i knew it i knew that i couldn't couldn't couldn't defeat you you're too evil to me touched touched touched touched touched you are touched you are touched touched but you've taught me something and he he locks eyes with you volley you're the only one who was ever really kind to me not just using me and you taught me something volley and as this happens you can see all of the sludge piles from the cousins and in fact like sludge from all all of the buildings the rot kind of is coalescing around picturn squelchfoot taught me you taught me volley to believe you taught me to believe in a higher and the rot explodes around it as appearing is an immense being of chitin and rot and an avatar of volley's veneration the great rotten crawdad appears or dead as i shall call him rot dadimus and that is where we will end today's session it's your fault volley and your belief in a funny fish it's not my funny fish belief because you rolled a natural one the last time now we're
