Rotten Ghosts · Rotgrind - Narrative Declaration

• We don't have to convince my mother, we have to convince my father. Dad, mom wants to execute me. Can you let me go? Ask your mother, dear. If I wear the ring with my internal organs, do I get the benefit? Ghosts? No, they're not real. There's no afterlife. The sky pirate who drowned. I'm going to use the complication Chunky Salsa. Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, thank you. Let's get ready to play some Rot-Grain. Harm. Harm. Out in the streets, they call it murder. I'll come and see and it's back. Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil. I have your thing. Oh my God. Oh gosh. Hi everybody. Welcome to another exciting episode of Rot-Grain. Brought to you by all the lovely people at patreon.com forward slash narrative declaration. Of course, our YouTube members and our Twitch subscribers. And of course, you who are watching at home or listening on the road, hopefully that crash sound did not make you scared on the drive. That was you. You've exploded. Don't worry. Now I'm just going to start playing my audios of cars honking. Yeah. Just get ready everybody. And then squirreling. And you know, it was like, you're going to be like in your driveway. You're like, oh, it's really Raukes out there. Now you're going to be like walking on the sidewalk and I'm just going to jump scare you every five seconds. You have like tire blow dot wave. What the fuck thirsty? What kind of sociopath are you? There's reasons. There is a phase. The specific Doppler of a horn approaching you is about to impact you. Oh, like the sirens getting closer to that. That's a good one. Oh, good. Spotify used to have ads like that specifically to jump scare you in your car. I think that's so fun. I think those are banned now. Like if you do that, you get fun. Yes. Yeah, no, there was an ad that started with like massive sound of cars honking. The, um, I did tell me, tell me on a scale of one to 10, how evil this is. Um, whenever I would stream ever so often, I had a soundboard button on my stream deck that would play the Eve online engine warning sound. Just randomly, I would press it. Oh, fuck your monster. Oh, my God. Randomly, I would press it and just like not mention it at all. Oh, Jesus. For context, if you would hear that sound and you're playing Eve like on your second window or something, that means someone's killing you and you're about to lose all your shit. You'd shoot yourself. It would just scare the shit out of them. And I just, just not mention it. I'd just keep doing what I'm doing. Just randomly play it like once every other hour. Wake chat. I don't have the sound anymore, but like, it was like, that sound would only, I only remember that sound from when I was doing those like deep space, not deep space excavations, but like going through those, uh, like pirate jump points out into the middle of nowhere. And then there were all those like seekers just floating around. It's like, ah, my exploratorship is not built for this. And then I get killed by a bunch of, a bunch of homing weapons. Don't come out from South. Scary. Get killed by a bunch of homie weapons. Yeah. Homies. Get killed by your homies. Homies. Homer. My homies. They got me. If you had to get killed by anyone, getting killed by your homies, it's probably one of the best ways. Speaking of homies, we have all these amazing people here joining us here today for Rock Rock, Ryan. Hi. Hi. Hi, everybody. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi, everybody. Hi. Hey, welcome. Hi. Hey. Hey. Some exciting stuff happened last episode, didn't it, fellas? It did. Yeah. Exciting stuff happened last episode where our eclectic, or no, sorry, run one. Our band of chuckle fucks. So you guys are chuckle fucks. The other one's eclectic band. And then the other ones. I don't know what the Warhammer one's now. We kind of lose the plot. We lose the plot real fast in that game. We don't even really have a band, like a group name in that game. The descriptor I used for the website page was the least qualified rogue trader crew. Wow. Wow. Even in this episode, we keep on dunking on speakers, rogue traders. You know, I have to say, our group is probably more qualified than the old Wrath and Glory crew. Not by much. It's not a big bar to clear. You do have an ogren that one-shots most shit. You're making a lot of assertions about Reeb's ability to set things on fire. But what happened last episode was a bit of a roller coaster. We, us and our lovely band, decided to enter the arena. The arena. The arena. The arena. No. I'm trying to do a visa thing. And so, as we entered into the arena, we saw that there was some summoning going on, which were our opponent's amalgamations of anarchy themselves. They bundled the rocks, furniture, debris, everything else, come forth from the ground itself and attacked us. As we were engaged in a harsh battle against them, we also had to do performative tasks. We had to make sure the crowd was happy with our performance, make sure we were putting on a show. And, of course, Veena, our lovely captain, was able to go full of the tub of rocks, do various front flips, back flips, all sorts of things, and keep the crowd entertained. Along with Baldry kind of doing an awesome juggling act, who says he can't juggle. Well, Oren still panicked, still trying to keep everyone alive with healing spells, who kept constantly getting shot at by the crowd. And as Rahua was doing Eldritch abomination-like moves against his cousins, because he was very much familiar with these Antarctic foes. As we continue to battle on, unfortunately, chat was given a hero point. And with that hero point, they summoned a bunch of fucking clowns. Now, at first, we thought it was going to be funny. But then we found that the clowns had like a billion HP. And when we eventually killed one, they exploded into a rod explosion. After we basically beat Thurston to death, the clowns disappeared. The clowns disappeared, but we were also able to defeat our foes. And I believe at this point, we're now after the arena fight and seeing the fruits of our labor. So Thurston, unless I missed anything very important, which I apologize if I did, what adventure do you have for us today? We are once again back in the lands of Andacia, as we are setting out for today's session. Let me just pull up here. The cheers of the crowd have died away again. The sort of revelation at the end of the session that whatever sorts of strange creatures appeared, they did not process them in the same way that you did. They did not see them as anything more than contenders for their amusement, we'll say. Each of you now is having a moment to catch your breath. As you do so, you can tell that Captain Volley has departed, leaving only Ulysse and the remainder of the crowd who continues their cheering. And, you know, basically everyone is now shuffling their way out like at the end of a sports game where their team won. Uh, the crowd seems very happy with what they've received. All of you are sort of given a moment to breathe, uh, before the gate behind you crawls open, the portcullis rising, allowing you to decide how you would like to proceed next. First and foremost, I'm gonna, uh, look over at Ulysse, and I'm gonna give her a big thumbs up and see if she looks satisfied. Oh, yeah, you can tell immediately, like, she, she doesn't seem ecstatic or anything, but she looks at you and gives you one deep nod. That's the highest honor we could have possibly received. Fuck yeah, let's go. All right. So, that's a majority, at the very least. We've got Sharkskin, we've got Ulysse, we've got Rotburner, and we've got, uh, uh, Yaiza. Or, well, we don't have Yaiza. Yeah. We don't really have Yaiza. But, uh, three of five, not bad. Not bad at all. Uh, Thurston, did the rule say it had to be unanimous or merely a majority? It has to be unanimous. Fuck! I thought you said it was a majority. Mamma mia. Pizzeria! Fact check. Fact check! Fact check! No, it's okay. You don't have to fact check. Well, it's, it's, it's unanimous now. It's unanimous now! I was assuming it would be, have to be unanimous, but considering that, uh, Ulysse is likely to, likely to bring around the rest of them if they were ever on the edge about it, and also that fucking librarian who just wants to kill Dina is probably going to swing the minute it looks like it's, you know, not in her favor. Problem is, Captain Volley is probably not going to change her mind unless we do something big. So, we can either, A, go chasing after the crown now that we have three of the five Viconned who would throw their crews behind us, and three of the five Viconned plus us, I mean, it'd be a fight, but we could take the crown. Reminder, reminder, I'm gonna, gonna put this out here. I know we've often discussed taking the crown. Remember that the crown is currently in the Halo Deathstorm that is outside of Outset, which is where you last saw it. And the reason you're here is to gain access to some item or power that will allow you to enter that thing. Oh. Yep. We're gonna have to, we're gonna have to actually do some convincing before that. Okay, then I have an underhanded trick as a plan B that I mentioned before. Uh-huh. We don't have to convince my mother, we have to convince my father. He is a much nicer man, and he is probably the only person on the planet that my mother can stand. So, that's an option. Let's go talk to him. We could do that, or we could also ask for a stay of this execution. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Go ahead, go ahead. I had my monitor on delay, so, like, for some reason, the VOD on the right side, so I could see the game, was delayed. And it suddenly just showed me, as soon as, like, we have to go see my father, the picture of that fucking guy with the sandwich. That's it, that's my dad. It just attacked me, I'm sorry. You can continue, but that was, oh, fuck, that killed me. It's okay, I'll start shaking it around on the screen. I'm stopping, I'm catching back up to the timeline. Okay, okay, I'll start, I'll start. Oh, go ahead, no, please, go ahead. Skelly, Skelly, that's, that's, that's what the dad looks like now. If there's art, you have to redraw it right now. It's the sandwich guy. Okay, I'll start over then. Sorry, I didn't hear you. All right. Oh, I'm trying to remember what I was even going to say. You were saying something about staying the execution. Yeah. Okay, right. So, we could either do that, or we could be very convincing, and ask her to stay the execution long enough for us to get what we need here, and then go and get the damn ship that she's so bent out of shape about. Now, that's probably the hard choice, considering I don't think she's liable to let you out of her sight without someone to enforce that. Yeah. It's unlikely that she'll roll over for that kind of thing. Well, keep it in mind in case it doesn't work. We run out of ideas, that's all we got left, really. I mean, it's not a matter of running, it's a matter of getting her permission to get it back and potentially clear your name. Do a lot better than just getting someone else to agree with it at that point, but we're asking about a lot of hypotheticals here. Why don't we go through with what you're suggesting first? Do you know where he lives? Where he is, I guess? Uh, Thurston, do I know where my dad is? Where does my dad live? Where is my dad? Uh, well, um, you tell me. Because he wasn't in the notes, I got really too much on him, so. Oh, he is in the notes. Is he? I didn't, maybe I'm... He's the second person. Carry on. Carry on. Um, yeah, he, he's, would probably be wherever Captain Volley's home is. They probably live near the outskirts of Ayesa itself. Um, he's, yeah, he was an elvish gentleman and a renowned tailor, uh, who was, uh, born and raised in Outset and then came to Ayesa. Uh, so he's probably near the edge of town, question mark? Yeah, makes sense. If you wish to proceed there, you certainly can. Yeah, let's go. I can't think of a better idea. Besides just prying again with the dread captain, but, you know, you better. Hmm, people like that, they don't want to give a second chance until they see results. I say, if we can't sway your father, we look into simply doing a great deed. That should provide you all the stay of execution you'll need. Yeah, like doing a good deed, like helping an old lady across the street. No. Or helping her down the stairs. No. Or helping a street fall down the stairs. No. Yeah, yeah. I'm thinking the legendary deed that you were exiled for, finding Papa Storm's crown. The, the ship that's supposed to be outside of Outset that we're here to gain access to, but we need to get the thing from here first, Tannhauser? Yeah. Oh. We need to find where to get the, the blessing. Hmm. What shows what I know. I'm sorry. I must have still had my head ringing from that dastardly storm. Okay, Tannha, I know that you switched your operating system to Linux. No, I didn't. Linux isn't real. You are making, no. And I'll move on. This is how it's going to be, huh? No. See, you're not hurting me. You're hurting Zoran with that one. Yeah. I'm not hurting Zoran with that one. No. All right. Yeah. We move on. Yeah. Let's go see your dad. I just want to see who the one who can tolerate your mom. I'm also quite curious about that. As long as this doesn't turn into an ask your mother situation, we should be okay. There's a non-zero chance it turns into an ask your mother situation. I don't know, ask your mom, kid. Get out of here. Dad, mom wants to execute me. Can you let me go? Ask your mother, dear. Well. True. So we journey forward, Thurston. All right. To the outskirts of town. Yeah. Where their house would be. So you make your way towards it. Veena, I'm going to get you to describe the state of your family house. All right. The family house, I imagine, is not... It isn't what one would expect to be the home of somebody whose title is Dread Captain. It's probably this little... Or it's this little cottage kind of embedded into the wall of the mountain. The outside of it, all of the windows have these little window gardens of wildflowers and various things that grow up in the mountains. There's, like, a well-kept lawn. The paint is nice and cheery. As the Dread Captain is not the homemaker in this situation, it would be her husband, Avere, the elvish gentleman who is a tailor by trade. And, indeed, you would probably see a handful of colorful fabrics through the window and things like that. Probably the smell of fresh-baked goods. He's a house husband. Okay. He's going to convince your mom. As you approach, one thing that's different from your description, Veena, is as you approach, there isn't the smell of fresh-baked goods. Instead, the house seems to be closed up at the moment. Oh. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna knock on the front door a couple times. Hello? There's a... There's a pause. Wait. Who's there? Who's there? Who's there? An old, kind of hunched-back woman opens the door. Or, uh, Veena, you'd recognize her as one of the housekeepers. Um... Is, uh... My eyes seem to be deceiving me. Yeah, it's me. Can't possibly be you. It definitely is. Hello? Oh. We thought you weren't allowed back here. Hmm. Should you be here? Um... Should? No. But I am. And I need to be. And... Is... Is Dad in? No. No. The Master's on vacation. It's the cold season. Fuck. Crap. Well. He's... He went back... He went back to his home. He's back at Outset? Yes! There's a... There's a metal pang from behind Veena as Baldrick punches himself in the head. He must have heard about all the free houses they're giving away out there. He left to go join the revolution! Yeah! There's a lot of real estate! Oh... The revolution! True. I'm so moved by this flyer that we found. You know, your dad really loved that communism. You know him. Wait a second! I have godlike power! I spend a hero point to make that the case! You stole my dad for the revolution? You know what? You know what? Veena... Veena... Mark... No, no. Mark fucking speaker down the hero point. Speaker gets to get back at everyone who was involved in that last Monday session at least fucking once. Veena, as you're, like, talking to this, like, house... Like, house... The house elf. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The house elf. Her name is Agnes, but it's pronounced un-yes because, you know, clearly it's an elven pronunciation. Oh, of course. As you, like, are speaking, you look behind and see just, like, on the wall one of Tannhauser's posters that's clearly been set up. Veena's head turns with, like, a stone-grinding sound toward Tannhauser. Wow. What a surprise. I... It... Yeah? Tannhauser? Mm-hmm. Tannhauser? Come here. Come here for a second. All right, sure. Come on, Elvis. Whatever you need, Veena. Yeah, yeah. Here you go. Here you go. Yeah. Go into Veena's office. Chat, we're not getting... We don't get to be part of this one. Yeah, close the door. What the fuck? How did your papers get here? What did you do? How did you do that? Huh? We are... Huh? Are you fucking with me? What's the matter, Veena? Your dad seems pretty cool. I... Tannhauser? Huh? Please get out of my office. I'm about to throw a fit. Wait. What do you mean? This is great. You... You and your father have something in mind. You're both... You're both connected to this political paramilitary organization. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tannhauser. Uh-huh. He's not here. And I am here. And he's not here to convince them to not kill me. You're right, but I can't really criticize him. Because he left to follow his aspirations, his heart, his head, and to bring a greater world to the united revolutionary front that I present. Veena, can I interest you in some of my literature? Oh, yes, yes. He was... He was exchanging many, many letters with his friend, Tessin. Oh, my God. Little Tessin! Was he little? Yes. And we're being little. Well, that's great. He was a mouse. Well, Veena, don't worry. Your father is in a better place now. The Revolutionary Army. I'm going to push Tannhauser into the ravine. I short-circuited the water. Goodbye. You don't recognize Tannhauser in the water. Girl, help me. I'm into water. Help me. I am under the water. I'm droning. You said me? Is there anything else, ma'am? Are you going to rob the place? No, I'm not going to rob the place. Oh. Are you sure? Why would I rob the place? Because if you rob the place, I mean... Uh-huh. That's okay. I'm tired of looking at that fucking poster. Can you lay it out for us, please? We're having a very long day. Oh, if a bunch of strangers came here and ransacked the place, then, you know, some of the items that maybe I've acquired over the years might have gone with those people. Wink, wink. Stick it to your parents. Wink, wink. Wink. Wink, wink. Okay. All right, yeah. Arm walks inside and starts looking around for shit to steal. Yeah, take whatever you want, I guess. Okay. I'd like to roll a perception check. Yeah. I also want to help Oren steal. I'm going to also be rolling perception check. Okay. Please go ahead. That is a two on the die for a 21. I am distracted by the revolutionary material. I got a 17 for a total of 37. Ransacking the house seems to be probably the best option here. So I'll just go through it as you begin going through Vena's childhood home. But more importantly, the dread Captain Folly and all of her notable gear. There's a couple of things of note. There is 1,560 gold pieces worth of jewelry and coinage. My God, we're just raiding the jewelry cabinet? One of the rings is magical as well. Oh. Fuck you, Odo. Oh, we're just raiding my prince. One of the rings is magical. Oh. Oh. Oh, well. If you say that. If you say that. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. I wouldn't use the word stealing. It's merely just advancing. Reappropriating. Exactly. It's reappropriating. It's a hand-me-down. And I'm handing it down to me. Do you know what this doohickey does? Let me take a look at this doohickey. Do I know what this doohickey does? Give me an arcana check. Well, I suppose I could do that too, boss. Check this out. 10 on the die for a 33. Ooh, it's a magic item. It's a ring of swimming. This is a ring of swimming. In the air? Is it just a tiny floaty? Is it just like a cartoon that goes in your finger? Or is it going on your waist? A ring that looks like a lifesaver on a boat, but it's fit for your little finger? Oh, that's cute. I like that. I would look bad with every outfit, though. Imagine you're really bad at trying to, like, swim. So the only thing that this ring is doing is buoying your hand up while the rest of you is drowning below. So the rest of your body hangs limply beneath your hand, which is floating on the surface of the water. It is a 12th level magic item that grants you a swim speed equal to half of your land speed. 12th level? Damn. This ring will allow you to glide about the water almost as fast as you do so upon land. Mina! As we stole this from your house, I think this technically still belongs to you when I hand it to her. Okay, yeah, sure, thanks. Almost like the thing in her house is aptly suited to her. Yay! You know what? You don't really need this. Oren, quickly, come here. I need you to eat this. Oh, okay. All right. Do you feel any different? Do I feel any different? Um, like a gram heavier. I feel like a gram heavier. I'm getting anywhere. Well, I guess Oren gets the swim speed now. Yeah. We have to test this out. Is that how that works? If I wear the ring with my internal organs, do I get the benefit? I mean, that's why we switched from, like, worn slots to investing magic items, so, you know. Yeah, I invested in my stomach. Yeah, yeah, that sounds legit. All right, I got a swim speed now, permanently. It's going to wrap itself around his colon, and he's going to have a perfusion later. Oh, great. Good job, Oren. I'm really glad. That item seems really well suited to you. Ah, thanks. I mean, yeah, statistically. That wasn't, like, a childhood ring of yours or anything, right? That your mom gave you? Yeah, no, it had absolutely no sentimental value attached. It was, like, the one good moment from your childhood, like, there's the Dread Captain Molly. You're, like, on her lap, and she's like, one day you'll wear this ring and inspire Dread into so many of the other pirates. You'll take my legacy out into the skies beyond. Yeah. And you won't get it. Vina, when did your mom ever love you? What are we doing? And I remember when the mother had the ring and said, And I know for a fact that you'll never let this ring get eaten by some sort of weird bird boy for some dubiously funny bit, because that's just not in your character. And I believed you too much. You would never do something like that. You're a very serious, you're a very serious woman. What are we doing here, guys? I'm trying to figure out if there's anything of sentimental value in here that we can kind of, you know, play to Vali's senses. So you ate the ring? We don't know if that had any sentimental value. It was confirmed that they have anything. Can we ask Vali for an extension so Oren can pass the ring naturally? I'll just throw it up. You sure? Yeah, I'll just go, and then I'll just throw it and go out there. Oh, there it goes. Yeah, it'll take more than a day to get through the other parts of the addition system. So anyway, Veena, do you have anything, you know, that like your mom would kind of look at and tear up and remember that she had actually a baby girl at one point and not, you know, the failures that are represented in front of her? Can you stop saying that about her? Oh, my God. What is the fucking problem, my God? That one really stung. I mean, I think it would be even worse if I said that there wasn't really anything like that. Thurton, are there any sentimental like portraits or something like that? Or, you know, were all of those thrown into the fire dramatically while I was gone? Um, there is one thing that you notice. It is a portrait. The portrait itself is not sentimental. However, what is on it is it is a rendition. Of the first dread captain's hat. It is considered to be one of, if not the most powerful artifacts in the small nation of Andasica. It was worn by the first dread captain, and since then, it has been placed into storage at the heart of where the Viscond meet. Okay. So this is a rendition of it. Again, cutting back to your childhood and the rocking while your mother, you know, scolded you about the ring that should never go into the hands of a birdman or the stomach of a birdman. Um, you were also told that one day this hat might be yours, that only the truly most respected and renowned of the captains of Andasica could wear this hat without burning alive. Several captains have attempted to put this hat on and had their life force wrenched out and were immediately slain by the act. Oh my god! But the dread captain, Vali, believed that you wouldn't be such a wuss to have that happen to you one day. Yeah, that'd be crazy if I was a big enough wuss for that hat to immediately explode me into goo. If Vali comes up to you and be like, you need to put a, daughter, you need to put this hat on. If you don't, pussy no balls. And like, oddly enough, whilst the legend of this hat is like, you know, shrouded in the legacy of Andasica, one thing that is like oddly detailed is like the way in which people die when they have attempted to put the hat on, which usually involve like all of the liquid immediately being evaporated from their body and then becoming like almost skeletal husks that are very much conscious and like have feeling during this process. And then the combustion catches to air and they ignite. Yeah. Whoa. That sounds kind of fucked up. I mean, it's about being a dread captain. Damn. I would dread to have to become a dread captain. That's so good. Oh, the lift. Wow. Damn. Holy shit. Hey, everyone. And also that guy. You know what you did. The Nardec crew have unleashed a brand new merch drop over at NarrativeDeclaration.shop featuring the return of the oh so comfortable Eclectics t-shirt, along with several amazing designs referencing hilarious moments from the campaign. We also have holographic stickers and magnets available so you can rep your favorite council member of Arborea. In addition to shirts, we have a new poster being added along with a new beautiful game mat design. It's like a really big mousepad, really. Put your cards on and feel safe. Eclectics aren't getting all the love, however. We still have plenty of Rockgrind merch available and a restock of the favored Rockgrind enamel pins. Grab them quick while supplies last. And speaking of, the Eclectics merch will be around until the end of January in 2026, so be sure to snatch it at NarrativeDeclaration.shop before it disappears forever! And with that, thank you so much for your support this year. You've all been absolutely amazing. Be sure to check the public post on Patreon for what's happening next on Narrative Declaration. Bye! And so yeah, with that, you know that the hat is an extremely potent item in these lands. It's basically the most legendary single object that there is. But the fact that only the worthy can put it on their heads without dehydrate combusting is kind of made it so very few people have attempted it. Those who have, of all, dehydrate combusted. Guys, I have a really stupid idea. Okay. But I think it might just work. All right. So this is the hat of the Dread Captain. It is an incredibly powerful item that is very picky about who it likes to work for. And most of the time when somebody tries to put it on their head, they immediately dehydrate and then combust in that order. That's rough. Yeah. Yeah, that's tough. You've got to be an idiot to put that hat on. Yeah. I think I'm the exact kind of idiot who is going to put that hat on. Because if you are worthy, then you do not dehydrate and then combust. And if I'm not, then, you know, I had a good run. I swear to God, Odo, if this is you staring at me going, I'm calling your bloodthirsty. If I die, I die. But you should, well, what are the parameters that make someone worthy of this beautiful hat? Thirsten, I'm assuming it's kind of arbitrary. Yeah, like, like, it's one of those you have to be worthy of the legacy of the Dread Captain, whatever that means. The thought behind it is that over the years, possibly thousands of years even, this thing has just been consuming souls. So every time someone fails, it actually makes the next attempt harder because it has more soul juice in it that makes it harder to be overcome and, like, basically dominated by the wearer. So it's an incredibly, like, powerful, like, soul-powered magical device at this point. Yeah. Yeah. It requires a very strong force of will. It requires a very strong force of will to put that hat on. And it, uh, has a habit of consuming the souls of the unworthy and making it even more difficult to become worthy of it. So, um... Yeah, if that thing is on my head, it'd probably be pretty difficult for her to say that I'm unworthy of... of, you know, even... that I'm unworthy of the legacy, essentially. What do you believe that you are worthy of it? I mean... This is where Odo quickly goes and checks her will save. Like, what's my will save? What's my will save? What's my will save? Yeah, what's my will save? It's a little... I think you're not worthy. On a scale of 8 to 100, how will... how willful do you feel? On a scale of, uh... You know. Like a 30 is, uh, like a plus 18. Oh. It's, like, fine. Oh. It's okay. Uh-oh. Yeah? Yeah, it's... It's fine. Yeah, dude. Yeah. Can I wait 15 episodes from now where, like, all the comments are just gonna be... I still can't fucking believe Vina got ate by a hat. Yeah, exactly. It's rough. Yeah. We don't have to head chat about it, bro. Like, like... Like, getting eaten by a hat is not the funniest way to go. That is true. That is... That is true. I'd... I'd die like a legend. Dehydrated and then exploded. So... I mean... Gong, gong, gong. You hear the immense gong sounds coming from around various bells that have been set up within the city. Again, you're on the outskirts, but you hear the warning gongs of danger that emanate throughout the settlement. Oh, that's not good. What's that for? I don't know what. We can discuss exactly how much self-confidence I have and how much... How good my will save is after we go and see what's going on there. All right, let's go. Let's go. Quickly, quickly. Ha, ha. Gong. Gong. Uh, people are rushing around. You see, as you even enter the sort of middle tier of the town, everyone is, like, arming up. People are running around. It's like out of the scene of, like, a disaster movie where, you know, people are just running in every direction, clearly going areas, but there's general gaggles forming. Excuse me. Pardon me. Coming through. Beep, beep, beep, beep. All right, where are you going? Where are you trying to push through here? I think we're going to follow the sound of that big old gong like we're a bunch of Scrooby-Doo characters. We gotta. Oh. Yeah, um, you eventually get to one of them because they're set up throughout and there is essentially, like, a town crier, a small child that has been given a paper that they're reading from. The coastal settlements is under attack right now. Do not panic. It'll be under control soon, we hope. Uh, uh, it looks to be unknown attackers are attacking the coastal settlement. Uh, the Waterway Admiral prays for your restraint. They're clearly trying to read the words. And this is Captain Sharkskin? No, this is a child. No, this is a child. This is a child. Okay, okay. It was like standing on top of basically barrels reading from, like, a like a paper writ that they've been handed off. Oh. I repeat, the coastal town is under attack by some force we have in. I Dente feared it. Yeah, you got it, bud? Thanks. It's my, it's my first cry. Oh, you're doing great. That was Carona's what the fuck. What are you doing here? Get out of here, wrong game. Why is Carona here? Wait a minute. What world is this? Bruce, get out of here. You're not in the right setting. Quickly. Oh, sorry. Back on the bird of paradise. Oh, but they have cadans on their ship, sir. Not another word. Oh, shit. Fuck, damn. Oh, Zoran, have a hero point. That's good. You're welcome. Hey, my, my, my, my soul, me too. We all did twice. I'm just a little guy. That's, that's, that's our love language to each other. We bully each other. If you're not picked on, you're not loved. You'll all pay. You'll all pay. In dollars? In cents? Shillings? We're not making much. Dan, it's real. Oh. Yeah, remember how we said you just would have left the episode the other day or until. It was like, that feeling was like the sensation of like, one of those houses that's like built on like the beach or something and one of the, one of the support beams just cracked because that's how I felt. I leaned forward in my seat for one after I just had too many. I just go, ugh. All right. We're reaching critical, critical mass on bits. Let's go. I've been putting, I've been putting narrative forward. You have to. I get yelled at when I try to move the narrative forward, so I'm letting it stick around. Erndel, stop! All right, now. We have to go. I'm going to get you and I'm going to make it look like a fucking accident. Let's go, everybody. Holy shit! Let's go save the town! And Ernd begins to rush towards the danger. All right. Yeah, let's get back on board the airship, go down to the coastal sediments, see what the fuck is happening. And, uh... We have a day for this, right, before you get executed. Just want to verify that, Veena. I mean, if I'm saving people's asses on the coastal city, they're going to have to go really out of their way to execute. I mean, yes, but then we'll have to come back. Well, that's when we do PR. That's when she comes back as Veena, hero of the coastal sediment or wherever we're going. Sediment? Oh, my God. It's okay, Tenthhauser. We know it's your first day crying, too. Yeah. That's my first day crying. Usually, I'm the one causing chaos. I don't know why all of a sudden I'm the one I'm the one burdening the... But chaos, that's for who's territory. It is my territory. Why aren't we killing people yet? Yeah, let's go. It's a good question. Let's go. Hot two, hot two, hot two. I grab the scene and I move it forward. We did it! Thurston, go, before we talk again. Yippee! Yeah. So, Veena, a couple of things. You would know that the coastal settlement from here is actually very close. It's almost like it's a suburb of the city rather than like its own. It's maybe a two-hour trek from where you are. Taking the airship wouldn't really work because it's coastal in a very rocky area. Ah. So, you'll need to traverse there on foot. Also, there's no airship dock there that would, you know, dock your airship. All right. Never mind on the airship. You haven't got that Final Fantasy upgrade that lets you land in clear fields yet? Damn. I know. Maybe once we beat Sephiroth. Anyway. We're going to have to hoof it. I'm calling, I'm calling a moratorium. Hold on, Oren, you have to dodge the lightning a hundred times. Okay, no. I'm calling a moratorium. Odo, Odo, I'm grabbing you. I'm calling a moratorium on bits. We have to, we have to stop. All right, all right, let's go. We're moving. We're moving toward the coastal settlement. The coastal settlement. We're going on foot. Fuck you, Ardell. Okay. No more bits, he says, immediately doing another bit. Yes. Okay. All right. All right. You make your, fucking Christ. It's going to take everything for me not to say settlement. You make your way towards the coastal settlement, rushing along. There aren't as many of the people who are heading towards the danger, more that there are people who are getting armed and ready to protect their stuff should again. As you begin to rush down, you're kind of going through these rocky outcroppings, areas that are sort of maybe 10 feet wide in some places. Veena, you know these like the back of your hands. You came up and down here often as a child. So this is all second nature to you. The rest of you are having some just like uncomfortable, like, think of like, I don't know, Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, like the Paths of the Dead. It's very like tight and winding and high like stonework around the jagged piercing sections and on top of it all it's getting foggy. So it's like the outset when it's foggy. Yes, yes, yes, just more, just more like unfinished rock than anything else. Oh, so this is like jagged like stonework. Well, not work. It's like we're going about to fall into the pond's bolaster hole when it's foggy. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. As you make your way, the smell of embers comes on the air. The brief sound of burning. You can tell that there's been the discharge gunfire up ahead. Smoke. You can see that up ahead there is the telltale sign of the coastal settlement. You kind of come up of a path that leads down towards it. Now, as you do so, one thing that you notice towards it is that there is kind of a crashing cliff face where water, I should say, is crashing into it. There are docks that have no one on them. There are buildings that appear to be somewhat damaged. What you're seeing at this point as you are approaching is that there is a deep fog over everything here and then the smell of embers. But you then notice kind of coming through the fog is this black miasma that seems to have swelled up from the coast and touched the edge of the building of the buildings here along the sort of kind of nub when you come into the coastal village. as you get closer to it and begin to descend down I think I should be able to get one sec here. Okay, perfect. You find yourself coming between several buildings. As you do so, I'm just going to set up a map here very quickly. All right, good. All right, moratorium on bits has ended but we wait for Thurston. Okay, I'm going to very quickly bring us over to this stunning map we have here. Oh, lovely. It's foggy. It's foggy. It's a coastal settlement map. It should be pulling up here. Oh, crap. Thurston, I just realized something. We just came straight out of combat with Yeah, so I've put your tokens on here. You can take some time to heal yourselves. I'm worried about my my grenade supplies. Correct. Well, all right. Awesome. I'm down to versatiles. Uh, well, well, actually, I see I have a thing in my inventory. I have one moderate acid flask that I think you gave to me forever ago and I never used. Oh, no, I have to be completely honest with you. A moderate acid flask I can do better with a versatile. Wait, if you must have something, I'm going to hand you something in my inventory. I'm going to hand you my magic wand of third level fireball. Okay. Oh, my God. Baldrick's a wizard. No, he isn't. Are you a wizard, Mr. Baldrick? I'm going to kill you all and put your bodies on top of pikes and you will furnish my abode with your screaming faces if you do not pitch this. Tannhauser, the wizard, the wizard's here. Baldrick, Baldrick begins banging his own head. He's casting a spell, watch out! Look at the spells! Get me out of here. You irritate me, kid. As a reminder for everyone on your tokens, if you're prone or have bless on, stuff like that, be sure to right click the buffs off so you don't map at all. I'm going to put myself back to full health, but I'm probably going to be, my combat ability is not going to be quite as bursty at present because I'm going to have to quick alchemy some things together if I want to get the most out of it. I only got six left. Oh my lord. Sorry. You keep highlighting everybody on accident. No, I'm intending to. The problem is that for some reason on the GM side, I'm constrained as the GM by walls, which is annoying. So if I drag people to try to position them on the map, it doesn't like that. And I have to take you all off. It's one of those annoying setting things that, yeah. Also, when you can't put the camera on, party setting. Oh, yeah. Well, I just want to kind of get everyone in a good position here to sort of. Yeah, Rahula, take off your blast because that wouldn't be there anymore. Just right click the buff off. The Oren buff, you can right click off. That fly, you can take off. Tenhauser, you're prone still. Right click that off. Oh, that's not good. I shouldn't prone. Tenhauser, get up. I think we're dying. Yeah, get up. Stand up, Mr. Tenhauser. Well, okay, I suppose. I would like to give Baldrick my magic wand a fireball, however. Yeah, put it in the party stash and then Baldrick can grab it out. Oh, good. Yeah. Let's do that. Yeah. It'll be easy. You know how to do it, right? Oh, I did it. Yay. Yay. Yay. Yeah. Then Baldrick can just grab it out of there and fine. There is like a trading system in Foundry, but I don't think we have that on. Okay, I will grab that someday. I'll deal with it in the moment. It's in the party stash. Continue. All right. So you can see the settlement. I've tried my best to give you a vision of what you can see around here. actually just kind of move you around. You get a bit better. Holy crap. You know, what the hell is that? Okay. There we go. What the hell is what? That over there. That's water. That's water. Yeah, but that's a lot of it. What is that? Oh my God, you're from the desert. As you say that. If you swim inside of it, you'll turn into a fish. Is that true? Yes. Yes. No. It's true. I've watched it happen to a man before. Everyone say yes. It's not. Stop. He's saying yes. We can't do this to him right now. You'll turn into a fish. Continue what you were saying. We can do this later on the ship. Can I make a deception check? Yes, you can. Yeah, go ahead. It's a very solid deception check. I'd hold on a second, all right? Because Tannhauser wasn't born yesterday. Let's see your perception check. He was born yesterday. He was born yesterday. Yeah, I was born yesterday. We're going to roll a 30 and Tannhauser roll a 25. Tannhauser, you wouldn't believe this, but I've seen people turn into fish before, but you're not really much of a man anymore, so I wonder if you would just gain the benefit of water breathing if you went in the water. I'm going to go see what alcohol I have left. I uncritically believe everything you just told me, Ruhua. You should go drink ocean water immediately. Okay, boss. As you begin to eye up the ocean like it is a magical font of magic water that will save your entire existence. It won't, but as you think this, you begin to see coming out on the docks, not emerging in a traditional way, but almost floating up are several figures that appear to be humanoid, but they're somewhat translucent, and as you see them, you see on their bodies are these like darkened boils that are still somewhat like you can still see partially through them, but these boils rise around their body. They clutch almost stereotypical pirate weapons in their arms, but their faces are these impassable stone masks that stare out. I'm just gonna put a couple of these, and they seem to float out of the ground here. They look like this. Yarr, dare I say it hard. Great, great, great art piece by Skelly. Thank you, Skelly. Also, amazing map from my partner, Jamie, who made this literally today, so good on them. Yeah, that's nice job. Damn, Jamie. Good work, Jamie. It was made in a day. Yeah, well, yeah. Yeah, but you see that these figures are advancing on you and seem to have some malicious intent. As you look around, you can see to the north that there is more of this coastal village. It is also similarly besieged by these same creatures far off in the distance, probably several hundred feet away. You can see the dread Captain Volley battling along with others against these fetid foes that have emerged, these specters that rise up, but they are definitely coming to threaten you, so let us roll some initiative. You got it. All right. Let's get into it. I would love to, but sneakers die rolled onto my button. Here we go. Wait, no, that was a 13. That looked like my dice. Why did your dice look like my dice? I don't know. Yeah, some of you guys are like my dines for some reason, which is weird. Also, you're all my dice. That's weird. All right. I want to go from the top to the bottom of the order. When I call your name, just tell me what you got. Baldrick got a 41. Then one of the enemies got a 37. The other one got a 33. Then Vina got a 33. So you're matching in with that. One of the enemies got a 27. Another 26. Oren got a 26. So he's going to be below him. Rua got a 23. And then the enemy got a 21. Then Tannhauser got 21. Yeah. It's at the bottom of the initiative order. Baldrick's at the top. Combat begins. Okay. So in this position, I'm okay with standing exactly where I am. I think. Let me quickly measure some things. 65. Awesome. 55. Yeah, because unfortunately, I'm going to have to quick alchemy for my remaining six bombs. So that's going to really inhibit my ability to move and do things at the same time. You can do it. You're a wizard. So what I'm going to drip my shambord and I'm going to explode. I'm going to quickly throw together a junk bomb grater out of my versatile. So reduce first dial by one. Give me a junk bomb grater. Draw and throw greater junk bomb at this fellow to the southwest. Okay. Is the fog giving me any kind of trouble? No, the fog here is is incredibly light. You can see the fingers. The problem more miraculously is you don't know what this translucence on them is. Well, we're about to find out whether a greater junk bomb does anything or not. Let's see. And I have that set as a debilitating bomb because I don't need to do anything. I don't want to put sticky on him. I just want to do debilitating if possible. We'll see if it goes through or not. Oh, that's a critical hit. Whoa. Starting off stride. Good crit. Use a grenade. All right. I'll roll the crit damage. I guess there's no less you're going to say that that didn't happen. No, you can roll crit damage on him. Okay, here we go. This, by the way, has the effect of debilitating bomb. I just need to put that up there. I need to list what that does. 40 straight damage at the target is pretty nice. You can tell that a lot of this damage is absorbed because it's incorporeal. It takes damage from it. The sheer force of the impact hurts it, but as it's an incorporeal creature, it is not as effective as you would assume. Okay, so it took half damage from that. That's a lot of D20s you just threw out. I don't know why it did that. You had us all selected and it's like the 14 save. So it'll, because you have them selected, it does it for everybody there. Eh, sorry. I will, uh, well, the one, the one, uh, failed with a 30, so ignore all the other ones. Okay, so he is debilitated then, and I'm going to put him at a off guard minus five. Let's dazzle do again. Sorry, I'm checking all this. I'm going to have him be dazzled for the duration. Got it. Shall I just drag? Okay, you got it, good. Uh, and because of all that crap that I just had to do, that's the end of my turn. Oh, not delay, I'm an end turn, you fucker. Could you put me above him again for some reason? I clicked the end turn and it delayed instead. All right. This guy is going to float up to here. He's flowing up to there. As it floats up, its head sort of tilts as it looks around. You can see in front of you, the ground is now like pustulating with rot tumors that have burst out from the ground. Sound of fighting intensifying from everywhere. Um, it comes up and then it begins to flicker in and out of existence as its head starts to move around quickly as though it's casting some kind of innate spell. Um, after that is done, you can see that its form is now distorted as though it were just like flickering. Um, it will end its turn and at the end of its turn, uh, it teleports to here. And that's its turn. That brings us to the next one. The one down by the dock looks up at you. Uh, some of you sort of broken by the buildings. Its head again doing this sort of back and forth rotation. motion. Um, it then moves up to here. This one seems to have a pistol out, uh, but it floats up and looks at Orin. Nuh-uh. Uh-huh. My boy. Uh, Orin, I think this should give you a will save. Oh, he's confused. No, no, no. Well, the five on the die. Yes. I'll use that hero point you gave me. No. I roll 18 on the die now. We're total 30 and I critically succeed. Sweet. Thank you for that hero point. All right. That'll be that one. Uh, Captain Beena, you're up. For once, Orin is not confused. For once. You're a wizard. For once in his life. He knows exactly what's going on. First time for everything. True. All right. I'm gonna do, uh, let's see. That credit says, yeah, you can take confusion off me here. Oh, I got it. I got it. Never mind. Why did it put it on you? It shouldn't have. All natural black raspberry liqueur. Product of France. All right. I'm gonna move first action. Second action. I'm gonna tumbley through. It's on combat right now, both of them. Now it is. Sorry. It has a thing where you have to click it and set it. So sometimes it gets unclicked for some reason. We got it figured out. Vena moves down to the south over to one of the guys. Yep. And I'm gonna tumbley through. Give you an acrobatics. Natural 20. Oh, natural 20. I tumble. You panache. I've got that panache. And I'm gonna do it here. Make it easy for Gorgamonger to possibly come in for the flank. Because is this an obstacle or is this just decoration? that thing there is no, it's it's just decoration in this case. It's not big. All right. All right. Then I am actually gonna tumble through to there. Make that flank real easy. And then I'm going to finish him. Finish him. Oh, God, she's going slow. I like that we're all waiting. Like, okay. Okay, we're all politely waiting. The fatality is loading. Yeah, it's taking a second. Oh, friendship. Okay. Dang it. No, that one does hit. No critical, but that will be the number. The finisher damage. 32 to hit. Nice. And he is off guard to your next turn. Damage is going to be 25 total. He takes only two points of damage from that. Oh. two damage. Interesting. So, let's see here. Yeah. So, you might be realizing that ghosts have some things that may or incorporeal creatures have maybe have some things going on that are a bit tricky here. So, we'll come back to this. You might need to call on your allies. I mean, yeah, you need to consider going wildly through this thing and then just don't hit it with your fists. Hey, hey, hey, listeners chat. Look, look, look, I'm being nice. I'm not throwing a stupid high level incorporeal thing at them as their first angle with an incorporeal thing. I'm teaching them more skills they need to learn. Oh, we're pathfinding. All right, what's the next guy doing? Oh, my gosh. The next guy, the next guy is standing there and then proceeds to, okay, this is so weird. He proceeds to do some very strange magic as its body jerks around like a marionette, its head kind of cocking back forth to the side. It creates and bends the geometry of space nearby. It's going to create a couple areas of bent geometry. Oh, he's putting my ass in the cube. You're in one of the cubes, yes. Welcome to the cube. The hyper cube. They're sending my blue ass to the cube. Okay, so I'm going to you're going to have to give me a will save. I'm going to share this. This is a spell. You should have a will save. You can click on it. Well, as we've established, I'm really good at will saves. Yeah. It's like my best one. That failed pretty bad. Do I want to hero point that? That's you know what? I'll take it. I'll take it on the chin. Okay. So you see this fact, like everything kind of starts spiraling out. Space and dimensions seem to break as the coherent universe falls apart as these strange incorporeal beings of rot stare at you. yeah, so that's it's go. You know, Kino, it's all three actions to do that. The one that is badly hurt from the bomb that hit it will look over to you, Baldrick. Its head will stop jerking. It will stare directly at you perfectly, which is it casting sure strike on itself. It is dazzled so it can affect itself with sure strike, right? And then it is going to attempt to attack you as it raises what appears to be a spectral pistol and fires it. It rolls twice and picks the best results. Yeah. OK, it passed the dazzle check. It does pass the dazzle. So we'll hit you with three and we'll get not much only 12 points of rod damage to you as the bolt hits you and you feel this like singeing not it doesn't feel like you've been hit by a bullet but just like almost splashed by some kind of acid that goes under the skin. And that's that creatures go. Orrin, you're up. OK. I'd like to spend one action to kind of recall knowledge on these guys to get some information on. religion or occultism are the two appropriates here. Let's see what I have. Hmm. Neither. Hmm. Yeah, I got like these things might know these you are the natural guy. These are the opposite of natural things. I'm spook fellas. We'll abandon that then. And I want to think about what these are. I've thought enough. I don't have no fucking idea what these are. I think I want to stop thinking about these actually. Oh, God, I want to do it like an experiment, but I don't want to like fuck it up. Oh, gee. delay until we have our expert take a crack at it. I can still do something here. Like I don't need a delay for this one. I still have options. It's just depending like how I want to go through this is the big question. Oren is going to go over to Rahua and be like, here you go, Rahua. Have a have a haste. Wow, cool. It's supposed to be there. There you go. Yeah, so he's going to cast haste on Rahua and go rahua, rahua, rahua. So Rahua now has haste. You'll have that for one minute. If you want to drag that buff onto yourself via chat there. I will do just that. It looks like the spells now seem to be affecting you if you cast them, which is interesting. You have to do certain targeting things to make it work. It's fucked up. No, that's what I mean though. That is something that has been more turned on now. And then he's going to give his other action to Gorgormungar. So you can go over and help. Gorgormungar is going to rush on over. He can only get up to here for one action and then finish his second move up to here. So that's one, two. Yeah, one, two, one, two. That's all you can do. So that's the end of my turn. Gorgormungar, go help. They look like ghosts. Ghosts? Yeah, they're not real. There's no afterlife. What do you mean? What? Yeah, there's nothing after that. You just kind of get recycled. Holy shit. Then what the fuck are these guys? Yeah. Are these people not recycled? There's nothing. There's nothing out there. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. There is no heaven. Wait, wait, but several people have died. Then surely we can... Vida, do you remember... Vida, do you remember if you went to heaven after you died? I think on it. Did I go to heaven when I died? I want to point out something very funny right now. I look at Baldrick's sheet, I look at deity atheist, and that Baldrick is the only person in the party that's not bothered by this revelation. Yeah. Obviously, there's nothing. Yeah, there's no such thing as magic. They didn't say nothing. Atheism does not apply to magic, only to gods. checkmate. Rahua, you've really bummed me out. I think you should go now. Oh, it is my turn, so okay. So Rahua is going to move it on up, and thanks to that haste, I can actually get into Move along home. Position. Position. Go left and down. There's a ball there. Yeah. Evidently fucking not. Sorry, Rahua, you want to go? I'm tired. I seem to have gotten myself stuck. No, I'm trying to get you to pass. Let me move. No, I'll tell you. Okay, one sec. Rahua got stuck on bad geometry for saying heaven wasn't real. Yeah, there you go. Thank you, I appreciate it. And I'm going to move right there. What is happening with these fucking They're breaking geometry. I told you this. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yes, I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but these aren't like ghosts. They're kind of like, I don't know, afterimages. Have you ever played Death Stranding? This seems like Death Stranding. I was going to mention that at one point. I feel like I'm going to play, I feel like Hulk is going to play Death Stranding after this and get really mad about this encounter for some reason. I'm going to line myself up here. Who's going to walk on over Thundering on up to Veena and Gorgamunger? Yes? Uh-huh. Okay. No, no. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Yeah. Cool. He's going to look at what's unfolding in the tangling geometry of space-time next to him. It's like, hmm. Yeah, that really shouldn't do that there. Anyways. Because you're like standing five feet away from like the Escher drawing. Yeah, not going in that. Nope. Yeah, not much a fan of that. That's chaotic, but that's the kind that's not supposed to happen right now. Anyways, Rahua's going to just look at Veena and hold out his, sorry, it's hands. So he holds out both his hands per the wording of the spell and cast Radiant Bean. Okay. And I'm going to cast that in a straight line. Boat, boat. Going towards and trying to line up with these two. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. One sec. I want to just see something here. I'm curious. the other option, my, my dude. Hey. I think you can get both of them. I think I can. And I did have leftover movement to actually who tends to be, so I'm going to absolutely go. You can get all three of them if you would like to. I would love nothing more than to cause indescribable agony for my enemies, so I'm going to do just that. Optimize that beam. I'm going to optimize that beam right there. Thurston, you know what? I appreciate you. I appreciate you so much, especially because no. Yeah, Thurston, you can have a villain point. Thank you. Thank you. I'm taking that. You heard it, chat. You heard it. Why the fuck did you say yes? I didn't think I had the authority, but you relinquished authority in that moment, so now I'm gone. There's no heaven. No hell, only me. Thurston, that was an excellent play. Please take another villain point. No! Thanks, speaker! Zarn, we're going to need to update the overlay. We need the villain points back. No, we're not going back to the old system. And this shambord is really tasty. I'm glad that I'm drinking right now. What are you drinking? Shambord. Yeah. Not whiskey? Not whiskey? Damn. All right, I am going to start with the first one, and I will start my reflex saves. Starting with the first one. That will be a success, but just barely. The next one. Another success. And the one in the far back. Another success. So you can roll damage, and they'll all just take half saves from this. Yeah. It's, this is where clerics do stuff a little bit, because you kind of have to balance, like, are you, like, going to high? Spellcasty, are you doing the physical stuff? So, yeah. Well, we're ready. With incorporeal foes, it's, uh, it's the way. At least for right now. This is the way. Ooh, and poopy damage. That's 23. Oh, well. Yeah, except, one sec, this should, uh, this should not, yeah, okay, so this is correct, yeah. Uh, all right, so, what the, why is it damaging? I don't have you selected. Kill Ruho. So, the, the buttons, I was like, do they have, do they have, do they have mirror skin? Oh, Ruho did target himself. Oh, you see, that'll do it. That'll do it. So, if you want the normal buttons, see the plus left to the 23, click that, and I'll have the normal damage buttons. I can also just do this the, the other way, which is for me just to write in, because they all have the same amount of things, so I'm just going to do this manually. Okay. Glad I radiant beamed all over myself three times in the session. I'm glad that I shot that fucking laser, and I just proceeded to run along the course of the activation. You did, you did, but you did do, you actually did do a fair amount of damage to them, um, and whilst they did save, they are, they, they have been damaged by this. You can tell that the damage is pretty effective. Pretty neat. as they all sort of light up, and all right. Who's next? Ruhua. End your turn, Ruhua. Hold on, I had to pop it, I had to pop the turn owner back out. There we go. Ruhua. Ruhua. Okay, Ruhua. All right, I have this guy all the way back here. Top left, on the docks. Yeah, on the docks, up here. Just gonna, one sec, how far can he go? He is going to run right at me. Float up. Um, you know, what's the range on this? Eh, not enough for that. See, I gave them such, such reasonable range on their abilities. Fine. I suppose what I'll do is I'll just have him draw a pistol and shoot. Let's see which one of the, uh... Why is the ghost strapped? Because he died, loaded. He's gonna shoot, Baldrick. Haven't you ever listened to fucking Wu-Tang, dude? That's Ghostface Killer. Yeah. We'll hit. They're shooting me. They're shooting you, and then it'll float up more. And Baldrick, you'll take 11 points of rot damage. That will be the end of it as it kind of spectrally floats up towards the building. You can see as it, uh, like, moves by, the ground continues to sort of postulate with this black ichor, uh, the rot that is manifesting by these creatures being here. And then that brings us to the bottom of the initiative, where Tannhauser lives. That's right. I live here now. Okay. So, I have a pretty good chance of succeeding on a lore understanding of these guys. But... If you have a cultism or, yeah, religion are the two. I've got a cultism. However, I think for my first turn, I'm actually going to want to use all three of my actions. Uh, I fucking love when you guys don't use actions to research things. It's my favorite. Okay. Um, well, you'll see why in just a moment. I think this is an economical use of my things. It's not easy for me to say, but my range is pretty piddly, too. So, I think I'm going to have to use reach spell. Ooh. And then... That is, that is very much a tough thing for you to make the choice of using. Okay. Okay. I'm liking it. I'm liking it. And I'm going to cast my final sixth ranked spell. I'm going to cast a sixth ranked slow. And I'm going to target, uh, everyone except for this guy. Except for which one? Sorry. This guy over here on the pier is out of range. Yeah. All of these guys here are going to... So, you should, if you target them all and cast the spell, I think it... Oh, no, you already cast this spell. Yeah. I would say if you target them all and recast it, it might... Good. Let's see. Yeah. No, I can only target one at a time. Oh, okay. I guess it doesn't count the height and thing. All right. Well, uh, that's okay. I will start making saves. Uh, so let's do the one in front of Vena. Uh, that's going to be a fail. I'll do these all after. So, fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. And... One sec. Fail. Okay. So, each one of those is going to be slowed for one minute. That's right. Stan Houser utilizes his singularity engine to keep the flow of time pressed against these creatures. I've started with that approach. It falls to you to strike the killing blow. I will then end my turn. All right. All right. You're up. So, what's affecting this guy to the north of me? He's got slowed and question mark. What's on the question mark exactly? Thurston? He's slowed. It's just a new effect that they have in there to do some mechanical stuff, it looks like. Oh, okay. All right. In that case, I'm going to concoct a new bomb that is not physical base damage. I'm going to create an alchemist fire greater. At the cost of a versatile bile. And I'm going to throw it. draw and throw to the guy north or yeah, I'll aim for the guy at the north. Okay. And this is also a oh, do I want to do debilitating? Sticky. I'll do this time. I'll do sticky as he's already been slowed of it. Let's see what this does. That's a five on the die for a 27. That'll hit. I don't don't pay any mind that it says debilitating. I checked sticky, but yeah, no, you're good. You're good. All right. Fire bomb. Go. That's a rousing 26 damage and then the 10 slash. Take a little bit of that. Still no good, huh? No. That's all I got. I'm kind of running short on ideas here. What's so fucked up is that I've had ghostly weapon prepared for like all of our adventures and I think I just slotted it out all the way to the arena. It's almost like I read your character sheets sometimes and I'm like, oh, they often have this on their character sheets. Then you change it on the last minute. It's all right. I'll just I'll just I'll just out damage it. It's fine. I'll just continue to pump out huge piles of damage. Yeah, absolutely. Hair up, Lirsten. I am. Uh, all right. So this one. Hey, by the way, I want to address something from the audience real quick. Guys, I don't have moss bombs anymore. We didn't restat them. I don't have that shit anymore. Sorry, guys. No more. Don't you have those? You should have those. I don't believe I have the thing. I don't want to do like moss weapon. Yeah. Yeah, because we didn't make a new we didn't make a new thing for it. So I don't have them anymore. Um, one sec. You should have had them. Bombs. Moss bombs. Ever since the remaster, I don't think we ever sat down to me that development of here's moss bombs. Here's what's coded. I mean, it's literally like the same item. They haven't really changed at all. I don't have it. Yeah, and even then it would have been a lesser moss bomb anyway in this current state. Oh, yes, which I just added. You never researched any of them. This is the thing. Yeah, because we stopped fighting rotten enemies. Yeah. Well, there you go. I gave it back to you because you did have it. Thanks. Alrighty. 1d6 damage to my target. Sometimes useful. Alright, this one is going to go. The one that is now flickery. It's gonna float up to here. And then it's gonna target and shoot at Tannhauser. Do your worst. I will. I'll miss. That was my worst because that's I only get two actions. Thanks for doing your worst. I do appreciate it. This one. This one here is gonna step float this way. The left of Gorgamonger. Yep. It's gonna target Gorgamonger and try to slash a Gorgamonger. Gorgamonger. Way. Way. Save him. We'll miss. Alright, Gorgamonger, you're up. Gorgamonger dabs. Okay. And let me see. I know there was... Ah, it's not letting me scroll back up to the spell effect of the evil cube that I'm currently in. You don't know what the evil cube does. Just because Foundry has given you metagame knowledge of what the cubes do doesn't mean you know what the cubes do. I have no idea. So, what do I see? Like, can I still see the rest of the battle that's happening here, or am I just totally lost in the sauce? Oh, no. You can see what is going on, except it looks like fractal. Like, it's like you're in a Doctor Strange movie. Like, from your perspective, Gorgamonger and this thing are fighting like sideways on top of the, like, the ground that is also a building. You can see that Rahua is like, looks like an old, like, Windows 95 solitaire that's been like layered on top of each other because it's glitched out. That, that kind of stuff. Oh. Oh, I'm having a really normal day. All right, I'm going to attempt to make my way over to where Gorgamonger is to try to help out, stumbling, drunkenly in that direction. Neat. Move yourself. Okay. So it would be, like, an attempt to go here. Roll me 1d3. Okay. One. Cool. You splash into the water as you exit this fractal dements and step out from one of the other cubes of broken reality and fall into the sort of salty seawater. Oh, fuck. Okay. All right. Oh, no. Veda, you forgot your family ring. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, Orin, I don't know what happened to that. Thank you. Thank you, Zorin. Thank you for understanding the item placement and the importance of item placement. That's exactly what you were doing. That's why I ate it. Can I have a hero point? No, Zorin gets a hero point for that. Take another hero point, Zorin. Thanks, man. I don't give enough to you. No problem. All right. Yeah. For my second action, I'm going to try to get back to land. You want to give me an athletics check to swim? Yeah. Cool. I'm, uh, this is the now one part, part of the water. This is, this is where this Ravina starts drowning. Say that to me. It's worse than being eaten by the half. The sky pirate who drowned. It's 30. You can, uh, you can move up to, uh, half of your movement speed. Uh, that's 45. So that, that's probably just 20 in increments of five. Five. Ten. Fifteen. Twenty. That's not quite enough. Third action, I'm going to. You're going to have to give me another athletics check to swim. Swim. Yeah. I'm getting. See, now that I've gotten close to shore, this is, this is where you can roll the nat one and drown close to shore. Oh yeah, I hit your hat. Oh. Fuck. Ah, well, there we go. There we go. You can, you can clamber onto shore. Okay. Yeah, Vina, sopping wet, is going to get back onto shore and just, what happened? You, I'm going to kick your ass. Okay. Okay. And that's going to have to be my turn. Yep. Sodden. That is your go. All right. Ending my turn. The Sodden Sky Pirate. Oh, the Sodden Sky Pirate. Bring me to this one Sky Pirate here who, who, who has all of their actions and they are going to target you, Vina. Uh. Oh. And I need you to make me a will save as you clamber ashore and one of these things looks over at you. It's disconcerting gaze just like piercing you as its head cocks slightly to look into you in your mind. Please don't put my ass in the cube again. Oh, it's okay. I'm not putting you in the cube. It's just confusion. Okay. Wait, it's going to, it's going to do that thing that Luffy did once to the corpse trying to get out of the ground. He's going to put his hand on your head and push you back. No. It's going to be what we in the business call a fail. I'm going to spend a hero point and I'm going to try to re-roll that. Go to water. Go to water. Yeah, I turn around and go back in the water. Uh, oh, how is it going to let me re-roll? You think you're a fish? Water. It's water time for you. You click the thing. Oh, here we go. You see that button down there? Yeah. Yeah, I see it, I see it. Yeah. Putting things in new places now. It's been there for a while. It's fucked up. It's just, people haven't noticed it for a bit. I haven't really taught you guys how it is. You guys are just used to clicking another button. There you go, now it's a 35. that's a 35. Good, you're only stunned one. Stunned one. Babbling incoherently. That's just my regular roleplay, baby. Yeah. Yeah. That's going to be back, guys, go. I'm dying of no booze. It's going to bring us over to the next one, which conveniently you've like swam up beside the other one. So it looks at you, Veena. Not again. Its eyes kind of intensify on you. I'm just going to cast a spell. The dazzle does not fail, so it's good. You can give me another will save, please. Don't try to scare you. You're confused and now it's going to try to scare you. Nice. You're going to be frightened, too. Oh, scared. You're not running away, but you're frightened, too. So it's going to be like minus two to like all the things. Yeah, being around Rot, Veena's not having a good time. She's she's starting to get a little anxious. It's going to be that guy's go or in Europe as these things are just like they're just creepy and the way that they're they're just like the bending reality and staring at you. It's just it's disconcerting and unnerving and all of your like amazing pirate abilities, Veena. They're they don't count for dick against these things. I apologize. I was reading a thing on how I could get rid of fear and all that because there if I was 30 feet to Veena, I would have been able to reaction it away. I have advanced first aid, which I don't know. I don't think that works with battlefield medicine. That's always been the confusing part because I think that's for administer first aid, which is not. Not battlefield that is not bespoke. That's for fears that stay on for five million years. But Paragon battlefield battle medicine. Yes. Well, if I'm legendary in it, which I'm master, can't do that. I'm like, hmm, how can I help you? Thank you. I think I'm just going to have to be scared. So here's my logic. I can't say anything about a corporeal creature because I know what it's about and I don't want to do that, be that guy. So I'm trying not to like, everyone do this. I'll try, with my terrible religion check, I will still try to recall knowledge of these things. Got to get information so I can help out the team. So if you permit me to roll a religion check, Thurston, Oren's going to see what he knows about it. Maybe he's dealt with spirits in his past before, which of course I would like to argue like, hey, nature check, maybe I've dealt with spirit animals in the past and have dealt with that before, if you would permit that. But if not, I'll still do religion. There aren't many creatures that are specifically like this in the natural world. Like, spirits are like a different type of thing that are still actually religion. It gets into some weirdness, I know, but that's how they're qualified. I know there's like the technical thing. I'm just making an argument to try to get some information here. Yeah, I'm just trying to make sure that the people who have skills so that we aren't like every skill can do everything. In this case, it's just not appropriate. religion that's an 18 on a die for a total of 22. Yeah, that's enough for you to tell. Okay, so you've had some encounters with incorporeal beings in other capacities. You know that they are that they not only have like strong defenses, so they have a resistance, but that resistance is doubled against non-magical effects. So the only things that typically pierce this type is force damage, spirit damage, force spirit, in this case probably moss because they are weird rot things, and then ghost touch. Yeah. Okay. That's what you would know about these as far as how they would like operate mechanically speaking. So you know that they are like weirdly not corporal, which is strange. You've never seen like this out of rot creatures before, but this just shows how weird the rot can get. And I'm definitely confident these guys are not undead in any way. Yeah. Yeah. They're more like aberrations. Yeah. Gotcha. I wanted that clear out so I don't cast heal or things on it. I try to relieve that to the team of like, they're fucking weird, man. And that's going to be my one action to do that. The next action, I'm trying to see how best to help everybody here because I want to try to start aiding people here a little bit more. Oren's going to spend one of his other actions to pretty much get in a better position for everybody here. So he's going to move 30 feet this way. In fact, he could probably now that's going to be fine there. He's going to do that. And then the one coming up is going to be Rahua, which I need to adjust myself here instead. There we go. Then I'm going to point at Rahua and go like, you can do it Rahua. Like, just, you know, like, like, like, most of our weapons are magical. So, like, they'll still resist it, but at least we'll hurt them a little bit. And I'll cast Guidance on Rahua for one action. That's my final action for that. And then it's Gorgamonger's turn, which he only gets one action. Gorgamonger cuts of the handwrap thing idle on, so he's magical. So he'll only get the little resistance, not the double resistance. And Gorgamonger will do a little, little claw attack. And crits. He crits on that attack. I will, I will say, I will say just one other thing you would know about incorporeal creatures. They're generally also immune to precision damage. So you can still roll the crit, but if it seems really low, that's why. A 4 and a 2 for total of 26. It'll probably absorb 10 of that. Or 10. 10. It takes 10. Because the magical, so it only gets the 10 resistance. all right. That's the end of my turn. Cool. All right. Rahua, you're up. Oh boy, it's me. Hello. It's your boy Rahua. It's me. Who's going to move up? Going to move to angle. 2, 3, 4. I'm going to flank this creature. I'm going to seeing that a bunch of his allies are relatively within the vicinity and it'll keep them dead or off if they're closer to him. Who is going to channel some anarchic energies like a just prepared cast Bane. to explain Bane, it's the opposite of bless. They take a minus one status penalty to attack rolls and stuff like that. For the bless, you get a plus one, but it's like an aura thing that lasts for a minute. I mean, I'm going to take the roll that Hulky made on my creature's behalf, which is cool. I didn't see, that's the thing. I didn't even click on it. I just did that shit automatically. Nice. I guess it just does it automatically. That's neat. Okay, well. Thank you for it. Thank you foundry. Thank you foundry. It succeeds. So cool. Good to know. And precision damage. That wouldn't happen to be piercing damage, would it? No. Okay, so to clarify, this came up last time too. Precision is literally a type of damage. It is called precision damage and it applies to things like rogue sneak attacks or Venus finishers, things like that. Okay, good to know. So with the final action then with the aura of Bane up, Rue is going to reel back with his mossy, impactful pick and try his best to smack this rot marine. Yeah. Target them. Boom. Boom. Looks like a hit. It's going to hit. Hit for 33. Roll the incredibly low damage. Leave. Hey, decent. Yeah. One sec. That should not. One sec. It's because the weapon doesn't have the proper thing on it. In fact, it's going to take 20 more damage. Oh, it's going to take 37. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. Or sorry, 27. Totally. But yeah. Because you trigger a weakness. It's because it's like because there's custom damage types here. Foundry doesn't like jive with some of them sometimes. so that's why it gave it the resistance, which it shouldn't have. And then you smacked it, which removes the resistance and it has a weakness. So the weakness kind of overcomes that. Understood. Good job. Good job. Yay. Oh, I never thought I could punch a ghost before. That's pretty cool. Anyway. Wow. Say your go, Rua. That's my go. All right. That's going to bring us up to the guy over here who is in the north kind of floating through buildings. He is going to, or it is going to look around. It's going to look into the eyes of one Tanhauser and try to confuse you, Tanhauser. Give me a will save as it does its sort of cocked head staring at you to unnerve you. I have an iron will! Five on the dice. No! That's a 25. Well, that's that's going to be a failure. Yeah. And I got no hero points. You can ask for a pity point. Can I get a pity point, please? Please? Would you have to take a complication? That's the rules. Complication thing up. I've got mine all saved. Also, for this, because eventually the patrons will see it, multiple of you have told me that for some reason our patron, the complication thing is missing text. I don't know why I thought I fixed it. I'll get that fixed pretty soon. All right. All right. I've got this is a funny. I don't like this. I don't like this. Okay. I will be taking the complication from Armus of, and this. Oh, no, not the guy who killed Tasha Yar. Okay. It's true. It's true. The skin of evil himself. And I am going to go ahead, and this warms my fourth edition playing hard. I'm going to use the complication chunky salsa. Something organic explodes violently, making nearby terrain slippery and kind of gross. Oh, there's a big rot pile right there. Yeah. Yeah, sure. I'll take it. That is, in fact, kind of gross. That is kind of gross. Ooh, lucky. Yeah, so if Thurston accepts that, you can then reload or reroll with a humor point. Well, then I shall reload. Reload? Yeah, I said reload. I fucked you up. Oh, you're I'm it's all over. It's all over. I'm going to reroll it. I got you lower on the dice. You still fail, too. Oh, that's cool. It isn't it didn't give the plus 10 so that'd be a 34, I think. Why didn't it give because it's using a different interface and shit, so. Okay, well, I mean, then, yeah, at that point, you just can't really fail, so. Trying not to be too too too there you go. Oh, I'm stunned. Oh, my God. Why is that black goop everywhere? Tenhouse is slowly becoming big D there. Hey, you remember we gave Odo a lot of shit for being a psyker and like fucking us all up every time she did psychic powers? This is how that feels. You're now the psyker. You're now doing magic shit and fucking us up. I didn't do shit. I just failed to save. You also complicated. All you needed to do. That's it. Let's go Tannhauser, you're up. I hate how slippery and wet this floor is. And because I hate it so much, I'd like to know a little bit more about these creatures. So I'm going to stare down the one that's staring me down. Oh, wait, no, but I'm stunned. So you only get two actions, yep. So I only get two actions. I'm not doing that, actually. To help you, we've given you a good bit of the information already. If you have something that does force damage or does something that does moss, that's what you're looking for. Magic can help, but it'll still resist it, but it'll only resist it by a little bit besides the double. Yeah, I don't have that much force damage on me. So if you had magic missile, you'd be a god right now. Oh, 100%. Instead, I'm going to cast corrosive muck. And I'm going to put down two. Counter goo. Can I alert you of something? Yes. These things fly, just so you're aware. I won't be causing corrosive. Also, it'd be very funny because you'd be forcing me to make that check too. That is true. And yourself. Baldrick, catch! Well, I don't think I'm going to succeed in scaring the ghosts. Pardon me. Bless you. Bless you. I've got them pretty destabilized right now. Oh, and the other really cool thing I can do for Baldrick costs three actions. So, I think with all of this in mind, I am instead going to cast If it's three actions, you can't do it because you're stunned. Yeah, that's the kicker. That's the kicker, ain't it? Yeah, now you know how it feels. Go ahead. Because each one of those guys could have cast the cube spell for three actions. I was going to load this fucking map up with cubes, but you've ruined that for me. And I'll do it again. Oh, yeah, in that case, I'm going to cast fly on myself. Fuck this. All right. Later. We actually only targeted so the fly went on him. Excellent. Just like click that, drag spell effect, fly onto your token there. I'll show you. Makes you fly higher. I got you. I take the fly effect. Yeah, drag spells like fly on the chapter. Yeah, most of my spells are much more useful against corporeal entities. All right, that's unfortunately my turn. Okay, give me an acrobatics check. Sure thing, boss. Where's my acrobatics? Acrobatics is higher than my athletics, which means I'm sure to succeed. Five on the dice. 23. Cool, you fall prone. Awesome. As the like viscous fluid around you, as you complete your spellcasting, you manage to stumble and fall down. Yeah. Epic Tannhauser falling down noise. Pass start. All right. Okay. All right. Aldrich. Yeah, I know. I'm gonna target this fella to the left of me because if I even move, I can't if I move one space, I can't do anything. So I kind of just have to sit here and get the fuck beat out of me, I guess. So I'll quickly whip up a greater acid flask using one of my versatile vials and I'm gonna chuck it at him. Yeah. And I'm gonna make sure that one is also sticky bomb because that'll be really funny. Let's go. Thurston, I have a question actually before I do anything absurd. Yes. So I have the thing for advanced vials here, right? Okay. It's got a huge list of things I can pick from. Would I know inherently what is useful against incorporeal beings or am I just kind of SOL for that? Well, let's check. I, I personally don't know off the top of my head, so I would have to do some research. I'm sure, I'm sure there's some type of like, there's a lot of things I could supposedly infuse into my vial here and I'm, I'm wagering that just straight, straight like silver wouldn't apply. Not here. No. Um, you have something that does force? That'd be the kicker. Oh, no, no, no, it's not, it's not the damage type. It's I infuse it with a material from a list of like adamantine, coal, that stuff. No, no. uh, well, actually, um, it's what I want to make sure about because I kind of got this by default. Like, I didn't pick it, it just kind of got added to my thing and I've been trying to justify using it, but I can't seem to find anything. I am going to guess that there is probably some substance that exists in some alternate book that I am unaware of off the top of my head that is like a thing that would count your weapon as being ghost touchy, but I just don't know what that would be. Yeah, some weird book. Yeah, if only existed. Devils and werecreatures. Greetings for nerds anyway. Yeah. There's a lot of them I have to check, so. Yeah, sorry, I just, I do not know. No, it's okay, it's okay. I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask, I'm gonna ask Google real quick if Aura Halcom does it. I think it's any bricks, maybe. but I, Aura Halcom won't help, that'll just make my grenade unbreakable. Well, the real question is do you have to have that material on you to make it happen or do you just somehow? That's the part I'm perplexed by. I don't know why it's giving me this drop down if it's like, do you have it on you? I was like, I don't know who the fuck I'm gonna buy Aura Halcom from at this hour. Yeah, because if you don't have it, I'll be able to do it. Okay, so there's a fourth level oil, but again, that's a magic and not an alchemical, so it's not even. Whatever, I'm gonna throw acid flask greater because whatever. That's a critical shit. There you go. Might be able to overpower some resistance. Hopefully. Well, we'll see because the acid flask big thing is the dot. It's the persistence. Yeah. Roll the crit. Oh boy, 12. Yeah, that, but it'll instead take 3d6 plus 10 times two persistent damage, which is still nice. It's very nice. Yeah, and it doesn't take any damage from it, but the persistence does. Hopefully. As the acid bubbles on the ghost. Right, that is going to bring me to this one over here, which you just hit. It is going to use its one attempt to try and sure strike and shoot. So it will unerringly aim, raise its pistol, and attempt to shoot you, Baldrick. Oh. It does get to roll twice, so I will reroll that. That's I will miss again. Never mind. Great turn for an acid. He can't see. Yeah, exactly. The other one here is... He would have taken 50 damage normally. That's so cool. Yes. Yes. Correct. Oh, of course. And he succeeds. I like the little cheery sound it makes when it goes away and I make a big fights against enemies that take no damage. I love being a non-caster. Kill me. Yeah. Dead. And remember, chat, just because it's incorporeal doesn't mean it's dead. Yeah. It's not a ghost or an un-dead. This thing is not undead. It's a different type of incorporeality. It's phased out. It's just some kind of creature. It's a creature. But spirit damage does hit it, which is one of those weird instances where spirit damage is really good versus like vitality, which is why Hulkie's thing was actually pretty decent against it. Okay, the one that's in combat is first of all gonna float over to here, I think. that will end up actually, it's gonna float to there. I think that ends up provoking does Gorgamunger have I will double check as you know, blame all the little summoners. Because if he has reactive strike, then maybe the other guy didn't have reactive my god. One of them has reactive strike, I'm sure. I knew they were reactionaries. They are. you had to deal with that. Have a hero point. Fuck off, thanks. Oh, dear me. You know what, Thurston? That was really nice of you to do for Erndl. I think you were hanging with that. Get a villain point. Yes, I'm full! Yes! He does have a villain opportunities. I have to check an orange sheet on Gorgamunger. He will do a little munch munch. A little munch munch? The munch that files back. He still hits on a four. Jeez! He does. I don't think these are very fast rot monsters. It's almost like they aren't that much of a threat, but you totally don't have all the necessary tools. 13 damage. Hit him with a 27 or 13 damage. He only takes three damage out of that, but it's still a hit. It is. It is. It is. It's going to move there, and then after he finishes moving to there, it will attempt to attack Gorgamunger with a slash. Hit with its slash, and it will do let's see here. 18 rot damage to Gorgamunger. Yeah! Right! And that is, it goes to sort of move around the sphere of battle. Vina, you've come out of the water, you are stunned, wondered, frightened to, what would you like to do with one of these things staring down at you? They call me status effects, George. Really? Statistical outlier. I had some people call you the space cowboy. Why's that? I don't know, they just call you that, expecting to know? Yeah. Damn. You think I know why people call me? Ah! Ah! Ah! Never ask. Never tell. I think I have a hypothesis on why they might call you that. Hey, Hulky? Yeah? Who is dead? Thanks. Okay. Okay, you're welcome. I got him. All right, Vina. Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you. We can't say he's in a better place, but at least we know he's not in a worse place. Because heaven is alive. He goes to the great blender in the sky. Jesus Christ. I remember when you handed me that lore sheet, like, oh, it's a space blender, right? Yeah, it is. It is. All right, I'm going to be so scared about it, but I'm going to, for my first of two actions, I'm going to tumble through. Yeah, you're going to do great. I'm going to do great. See? That was actually pretty okay. That's a critical success. Yeah, of course. I'm even being a little scared. You're still good. You're still good. I'm a little scared, but I remember how to tumble. Always know how to backflip. Since these things are in corporeal, do you just walk through it? Yeah. Yeah, it's really anti-climactic. You walk through and do, like, the stupidest twirl jump ever, like, I don't have no spells. I don't really have any things that will help me deal with spooky not-ghosts, so I'm just going to have to hit him with my sword and hope for the best. Yeah. I could try to, like, I don't know, demoralize him or something, but I've never been to keep down in action, so. Exactly. I'm just going to hit him and see if I can plink off a couple of points of damage. Yeah, do it. Boom. I, I, I, Hey, Odo. Hey, Odo. Oh, God. Hey, Odo. Do you have a reactive strike for me? Is this the one? No, no, no, this is a complication. Oh, yeah. Definitely a complication. Let me pull up my complication. Complication, complication. I have it. Oh, my God. I have it saved on my actual computer, not this stupid laptop. Can you link me the complication again? It is linked in the pinned comments and in the checklist chat. Checklist chat. I'm really off my game. And I'll tell you what it is again. I'm going to get the complication in room. Thank you. Oh, here we go. Here's, here's a perfect one. She has the complication. Sing it. Yeah. Anyway, this one is a complication from Yala called Saving Face. What is the complication? You still look cool even if you missed that attack roll, but you whipped your head dramatically and something obstructed your vision, causing you pain. Prompts, headgear, clothing, accessories, hair, or an environmental element. So I would say it's probably thematically the hat. The hat has for the first time in the entire game obstructed my vision and betrayed me. The hat knew you're going to replace it with something else, so it's mad. Exactly. The hat is caught in the wind and flies into the non-Euclidean geometry. No! They send my hat to fucking Escherworld. Let me find out you're bald. Yo! Skelly! Skelly! If you're listening, we're going to need an updated art piece. Just, you know, no big butts. No hat and the, like, monk tonsure. Yeah. Hey, I was kind of hoping for a more monastery take on Vina. this is the part of the story where the campaign goes on old for three years and she joins a convent. Really needed to justify taking that monk archetype so they could flurry away. Anyway, yeah, the hat flies off into the evil cube and no longer do I have panache. I don't even think I get the precision damage. Not that it would matter. So, yeah, I tumble through. Do I have a hero point? You don't. Oh, you don't. Yeah, get, do you, do you want to double down with a pity point? Complications, Thurston. I know, you could take a second complication to reroll. I'm not going to, I'm not going to take a second complication. Why? Why? Don't you, don't you want our patrons to get their money worth? Why do you hate our patrons? Yes, of course. Listen, Thurston, I'm going to natural one again. You know me. Look at me in the eyes. You know me. I'm going to natural one again. Then you'll go through all three of your complications for the session. Don't you like our patrons? Don't you want their complications to be read on this show? Yeah, look at them. Look at them with their beautiful big, wet eyes. What the fuck kind of human being are you? So bigly wetly. but like if I reroll, even if I got like a crit, I do like three points of damage. Yeah, and you'd make whatever complication you generate from this, you'd make that human being so happy. What's more important to you? God, so selfish. You're right. How can I do this? Yeah, you're pretty serious batement particles right now. This is the reverse of like Thirsty can never deny them a pity point. Fuck you assholes. This is me coming in reverse. This is psychological warfare. All right, guys, we've had our fun, but I think it's time to begin the real game. Everyone roll up Shadow Run characters. Okay. Okay, let's I thought the next show was fatal. We're not talking about fatal in this house. Wait a second. Hulky, you have one hero point, you lose it. fuck you. I'm not taking this away. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I wasn't done. I wasn't done. Hulky, you lose the hero point and speaker gets it. Yay. There we go. I'm okay. All right. That's fair. That's fair. But that does cost a villain point in order to do. Okay, that's fine. I'll keep two villain points. Yeah, okay. I'm going to start spitting blood. Ghosts are attacking. So Vina, Vina, are you, are you, are you going to, are you going to just, just move on? Is that it? Is that what you've decided? I'm going to move on. I love you patrons for your sake, as well as all of ours. I'm ending my turn. Okay. Well, some, it's going to move me to this little man on the docks down here. Yeah, southern docks. Sorry, I'm trying to keep that podcast listeners. Forget about that guy. No, you're good. You're good. Um, well, it's fine. So I'm going to float up to here. He's the not slowed one. Oh, but at the end of your turn, you're going to lose one of that frightened condition. That's pretty dope. I'm going to cast fear on you again. Why? Please give me another will save. Hostile. Be alone. Great. That's a two. Fine. Might I have a pity point to take a wonderful complication from our beautiful patrons? I cast blessed denial. An ally within 30 feet will become frightened or whatever. You exude peace and protection, lessening a harmful condition as it falls upon an ally. Reduce the value of the condition your ally would take by one to a minimum of zero. The ally takes more than one condition at the same time. Choose one to reduce. Orin, my bestie. Orin goes cool. You're still frightened one. That'll just remain for an extra round. All right. Thanks, bud. So it doesn't stack up. The vibes are better. It's like you're it's like your crew's with you, Captain Vina. We're not going to let you fall down. She turns with like a sodden thumbs up, just drenched. Oh, that's my reaction. Looking terrible. All righty. That's going to be its go, so that's going to bring me to the next one, which will target you, Vina. Okay. And it is going to try to confuse you. There's did it's going to succeed. Please give me a will safe. There's dead. Yes, you're dead. 20. I'm God among men. There you go. Very good. Very good. It's you're just so tired. Vina's Vina's just so tired of these things like spooky staring at her that it's like just it's not even like willpower at this point. it's just I'm done. I'm done. What are you looking at? Good fuck out here, dog. Don't knock you anymore. Ow. Drink whiskey. I got a huge wave of deja vu for some reason. I don't know. Maybe I lived this time already. Ah, you two went into the cube and came out a different time. everyone's basically fine. They're just kind of like inconvenienced. I know. Completely arbitrary reasons. Everybody doing okay? I'm like doing all this like some healing stuff and I'm like yeah, I guess it's here. I guess I'll summon a tree. I cast tree of seasons. Basically what this does. Oh, it's been a while. Oh boy. Oh, this is not that tree. That's protector tree. But we can do the same tree. He's now grown up to actually be a tree that does some stuff. Oh boy, everybody, I can help you throw some seeds. None of them do forest damage unfortunately. But what this does, you cause a small tree to easily sprout in unoccupied space on the ground. I'll do it to my left. Four seed pods grow from the tree, each filled with the magic of different one of four seasons. A creature can interact to pluck one of the pods and can then either throw it up to 30 feet as part of the same action or do so with a separate interaction later. When thrown the pod explodes at a five foot burst dealing 66 damage with a basic reflex save against the spell DC. the damage type depends on the season of the pod like electricity, fire, poison, cold for the seasons. I'm going to spell ends, the tree withers away and any remaining seed pods rot away and leave just a non-magical seed. So he casts that pretty much over to his left. Hi there! And I will pick my poison really. It's like because all of it's basically just elemental you know kind of magically kind of damage. So I'm just going to do fun for electricity and I'm basically going to five foot burst onto who's the weakest right now? Just this guy in front of us. Get this guy pretty much to the bottom right of or near this house here on the east side because he uses his last action to pluck and throw as according to the spell definition. So he goes ha! So he needs to make me a 30 reflex save and if not he will take 66 electricity which I'll roll that for you just so you can have it there already. He succeeds with a 30 I only rolled 15 and he takes no damage. He exceeded just a little bit though. The electricity like zips through but doesn't seem to connect with the spiritual form of this entity. It's okay I'll get you next time it's a setup. And in my turn I'll wait Gorgomero go and he'll just bite him. There we go. He crits. Oh my god. If I see the guy that I did the thing on he basically 40 total. Crit damage not a lot of maze and crit only 22 so he'll take 12 I think. I love the cut in from Gorgomonger that's him laying there peacefully. He's having a good time he's a good boy. He looks like a cat just saying that Gorgomonger crits. All right that's going to bring it back to me. The one up by by team Baldrick. All right. Oh shit. Thurston you got to put me below Orin again because I'm not actually dead. because I reset my initiative because I dropped myself to zero. Oh. Oh. Well. Yeah. Fair enough. All right. Go. Sorry about that partner. I'm not really dead. I thought I was. You told me I died but you didn't object to me coming back to life either. Yeah. He committed to the bit. Isn't that what it's really all about? Why is Tanhazard prone? Please clap because I tripped in the complication. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay. It's your turn. Sorry I interrupted. Yeah. I think you got this zombie over here. I'm going down here and shoot that Gator. I'm going to shoot that Gator. I'm going to shoot him real good. How are you feeling about that Rod Tommy up on you right now? I'm going to make a name for myself. I'm about to make a tree for myself. Sorry about that Vina. I was just infested by visions of the deep south. The Cajun Spira. That's okay. It does flood. I should know. I just misinterpreted that as the Cajun Spira and all I could think of was Final Fantasy 10 with nothing but Cajun accents. Didn't Spira get destroyed by Sin or was that? Oh yeah. So it did emulate hurricanes. That's fucking funny. Katrina, Rita, and every other hurricane. Fuck you. Katrina, Rita, and Santa Maria. Inject. Who knows? Hurricane Inject. Guys, I'm the one who's drinking here. What the fuck are you guys doing? Hurricane Waka. I feel like I need to take a shot. There's like a bottle of Jim Beam off to my right that's whispering to me like the fucking green gobble mask. Oh, Bo Ro She I mean, hi. Ruhua. Ruhua is going to move up to this rot marine down here. One failed. Yeah. And it's the one fails. We haven't killed one of these fuckers yet. Nope. We never will. As soon as you got close, Hulky was like, don't worry, you're good, and then walked away from it. Don't worry, buddy, you're okay. Don't worry, Veena. Now it has minus one status penalty. I forgot. All right. So Ruhua is just going to walk up to the zombie like, hey, oh, man, you're you might want to check your boots for warfroaches later. It's face undulates at you. I'll get to you in a second, bitch. Poor backhand's the creature. Ooh, I'll hit. Cancel 29. Let damage. That many. 20. Okay. It'll take 30 points from that. That's pretty funny. I'm going to hit it again. Mad minus five. Oh, missed. No, you hit. Oh, no, no, no, no. By that sound, you would think that it would have. Yeah, I know. I know. Hulky, hulky, hulky, hulky. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I could take some pity on you here if you want. Could take some pity on me, and I do love, as it's well known, I love suffering for the enjoyment of you. You're going to help one of those patrons out, right? I think I am. Oh, hold on. It wants me to switch to my different account, because it signed me out of all my fucking things. I love updating my computer. It's great. It's so good. I'm looking for Linux. That's true. Fuck Windows. It's true. I hate Microsoft. I have a fuck Bill Gates tattoo across my chest. Many people are saying this. Thousands. Yeah. Looking for appropriate complications. Only thousands. Only thousands. But man, they're dedicated thousands. Oh, yeah. That they are. That they are. Oh, all right. All right. I've got I've got one. Oh, this is a complication. If you're willing, I will take a pity point, but I have one lined up. Okay. I'll give it. What's the complication? Complication is from Korra. Complication's called, are we the bad guys? A sudden moral dilemma invades the PC's mind as they reflect upon their actions and their consequences up to this point. The PC has to succeed a will saver, become stuck in their dilemma, tuning out the world around them or immobilizing them. I'll allow this. All right. you have okay. I have the most monstrous thing. I'm not going to do it, but I was just like, I had this brief moment of like, yeah, you know what? That's a really good complication. Vina, give me a will. You know what? No, no. Today has been a fucking trial. You know, it's the hero point and Vina gets in trouble. Yeah, you know what? You know what? That normally wouldn't be the case, except I'm going to spend one of my two villain points to narratively declare it is the case. Vina, give me a will save. Come on. Everybody bully the captain. This is happening. Oh, fuck you, no. I'm going to. Narrative declaration has slowly become less of a TTR RPG and more of a frat haze over time. In every boy's life, there's a summer of 72. Hello, podcast listeners. You don't need to know what that role was. You don't need to know. You already know what it is. All right, you got another complication lined up there. Oh, Roshi, I just don't know. Oh, wow. Speaker, you're absolutely right that this does chain. Tannhauser, give yourself another hero point. You deserve it for helping me out. Thank you so much. You too can submit your complications at patreon.com forward slash narrative declaration where you too can make us suffer. Oh, good. Here's one of my saved ones that's very relevant to the situation at hand. This one's from Hero Cookie and it's called Oh God, The Memory. A memory of a particularly embarrassing, cringy, mortifying or distressing event and the character's past suddenly resurfaces to haunt them once more. I would like to think that Vita thinks to about how long was the combat round? Six seconds. Yeah, about six seconds ago. Can I give something a bit more narrative given the like the depth of like will crushing like like what's going on? Are we the baddies like thing that came from the U.S.? Now I'm scared. Hit me with it. Give me the psychological warfare. I think you spend some time thinking about Picktern Squelchfoot here at this coast. I was thinking the same thing. Hero's memories of Picktern fucking inadvertently form an aura of suffering and regret. Which just like translates into the captain who's lost her hat. It's fine. He was dead when we found him. That's a great point and not re-roll my attack. So after all that you can complete your attack with the re-roll. Yeah. We just gave him the whole edge to re-roll. He has a roll a one. That doesn't complicate. He already has complication. He can move on. This is Zoran literally being the like stop. He's already dead. I'm like I think it'd be a real shit move to be like hey you took a complication to re-roll now you rolled a natural one and get one. Go fuck yourself. I don't think it's fair for them. It's funny. It's really funny. But I don't want to force that on them. It would have been a natural one. Did I roll a two before on the tie? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. So does it hit on a 27? Or is it 28? Oh yeah. For some reason the bus didn't go through. It didn't add to plus 10. Oh wait no it's a map minus 5 so it would be. It would not. Not with a map minus 5. No. No actually wait. What? Plus 10. Technically that hits. Yes. Okay. I'll take it. Yeah. Fine. I think there's some weird rule I'm forgetting about like one always one lower but don't worry about it. Just just I'll give you the damage at this point. You need all the help you can get clearly. I appreciate that. Get a villain point. Thanks. Appreciate it. Oh good god. Are you that many? 19? It's been where who has turned for 10 minutes. I'm going to lose my turn. Hey normally it's me deciding what to do. Yeah no you're just prolonging it by continuing to give thirst and power. It's another 29 points damage to this thing. It's the most single damage that's been done to one of these things in a turn. I'm going to map minus 10 as well. Don't remind me. No you didn't you oh you're hasted that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah man minus 10. It couldn't possibly hit. Obviously not. No. Now if you take the pity point. Move on. Moving on. I would like I would like to do something please. Go. I'll pass it. I'll pass the football. Okay. The one to the far extreme north is going to cast a sure strike and that's their turn. All right Tanhauser you're up. Sure he can do that. He can. I didn't know I didn't from the persistent fire and the persistent fire disappears. Okay. Tanhauser. Am I still stunned? No you should not be. No you're not. All right. I am not going to even spend an action getting up off of the horrible sticky sloppy ugly gross gross ground. instead I'm simply going to reach out and summon a cloud of flammable black dust and cast incendiary fog. And I'm going to put that right here. Maybe over one square? Or does that not get Baldrick? It does get Baldrick. Okay. Killed me. I mean I could end this. All right. So I place this here and then I go to call out to Baldrick. Baldrick that's flammable. Throw something on fire. All right then you got it man. All right and then I'm going to end my turn because that's three actions. Wizard. Okay. Baldrick. I'm going to make an ice bomb. I'm going to kill you. Everyone's been doing bits. Give me one five second bit to say I'm making an ice bomb. Not allowed. Give me a bomb. I use a versatile vial to make. That's the fifth level spell. Fire bomb. my target this which prick I don't care you it doesn't matter you both suck I'm going to try to kill you strike fire bomb sticky bomb oh there we go it's a good thing I have those. Oh my god. What is happening? Are we good guys? Hey hey hey chat guy chat guy who does stats for our show come into my office with me we need to sit down and talk no not the office all right hey Erndel how you doing I'm rolling that with a hero point love and I'm taking I'm keeping I'm trying to keep my turn concise no one get involved okay I take the complication from errant gamer clang thank you errant gamer my attempt to go unnoticed has been thwarted I bump up against a lead pipe and there are everyone's attention they may now focus me Thurston I am the target of their ire I'm going to reroll this and try to throw my grenade okay reroll with a hero point that's a critical hit yay it's gonna crit I'm going to blow you up with my powerful weapon okay that's really good for 54 what does he take what does he take 34 damage from that then the thing explodes so per speaker spell I have to make reflex saves for both I'll start with the wounded one now you've activated our trap card he'll fail I will do the other one that one will succeed speaker you can click the roll damage button yay la la la alrighty then everyone take 28 fire damage that was kind of low no yeah one on the bottom will take 18 and the other one will take 4 poor damage for a pith rank spell I caramba incorporeal creatures are mean alright oh boy well guys that was your first ball right balderick yay thurston thurston i got bad news for you that's my only thing i can do oh okay don't worry don't worry guys i got a bunch of great spells for this i got wall of stone and corrosive muck i've been waiting for you actually the castle wall spell and have thirst and go oh they go through it yeah i know they can just go through it i've got fear and gravity well and things to fuck with their positioning which doesn't fucking matter hey hey speaker can i suggest a spell that you might just want to have in your repertoire in case it ever comes up yes ghost i shut up don't even talk to me don't even finish the bit i don't even actually want to hear it out of your mouth now make these laborious ghosts do their six damage apiece to us and let us continue on our merry way it's it's gonna float up to you with one of its two actions because you slowed it how how far off thurston thurston as i recall very attracted to baldrick because he made a loud noise no you're right you're right you're right you're right you're right i'm gonna i'm tanking for you tank hauser i'll miss that's the end of that one's turn oh they don't go oh wait wait wait wait wait wait wait it's gonna take 26 fire damage so it takes six fire damage oh my fucking god wait wait wait wait wait i'm just taking a screenshot of this because it's art it's gonna go in our general chat this is art i love this game i love playing games with you guys um we'll see if it makes his recovery check oh it doesn't it's still on fire um oh my god that's all the screenshot here is gonna float on up no it's gonna target baldrick it's gonna try to slash you fucking bring it it's gonna it's gonna miss oh he's agile okay captain vena you're up okay you're now frightened one oh only frightened one well truly truly they will never be able to stop me thirst and i have a question what was this encounter supposed to showcase that we can't hurt incorporeal things just what incorporeal things can do just what incorporeal things can do right okay that they exist and if i were to ever say throw an incorporeal boss at you having some things in your back back pocket like some oils and shit might be useful i mean i never throw an incorporeal boss at us right i do never do think it is funny i mean because the thing that i replaced ghostly weapon with i don't think i've even fucking ever used so it's like all of my first and second level spells i like never use them because by the time it gets to the point like i've got revealing light in case they're invisible i don't really need laughing fit because i already have enough crowd you would be prepared if you knew what you were going up against if you could batman more that's what a wizard is if you could batman that's true that's true that's true next time i'll replace a magnetic attraction and uh we'll see what we do all right first first action i'm gonna i'm gonna tumble through this guy and i'm gonna back up my good friend rahula okay do it on the edge of the cliff absolutely yeah i'm doing it with style look over at my mom hope she didn't see any of the other lame shit oh your mom can't see you we're so far away she's not here but you're all there that's a 27 it fails you're gonna stop right there well at least i still get panache bless you oh wait why is it a failure you gain panache until the end of your next turn sorry i don't know why unless you have something that gives that to you but i i didn't think i did get panache pity panache don't question i i didn't think i got it doesn't really matter because all it gives you is precision damage that doesn't hurt these things so sure well i wanted him to be off guard yeah well fuck you gag gag gag gag gag gag gag i'm gonna hit him with my second action and he's not feeling so good so we'll see if this slinks off anything okay i crit i crit him and we'll see if that actually does any damage it'll at least put a little bit of cold on him get chili hi welcome to chilis how much damage did you do uh 74 before all of his funny resistances that will destroy this one finally ta-da yay first blood first blood we got really blood uh the the the being dissipates as your your blade finally strikes true uh dispersing it yeah veena's veena's trying not to get hit by this rot splashback but uh we'll dispatch it with a flourish and then is gonna turn to this guy and is going to i'm gonna hit him with a faint to put make him off guard and see if i can't farm more panache uh just kind of give him a little oh i'm gonna get you yeah there's my faint action uh i'm targeting him right yes i am roll oh she's so slow oh not bad a critical success let's do it yay so that is for a year ago yes indeed i will make a quick fake fake him out a little bit and open him up for my good friend rahua to cave his skull in what's left of it anyway all right that will bring us over to this guy who will attempt to attack you we'll see if this helps at all or does anything a stab and a stab a lack of less misses oh actually yes hits with one so vena you will take a slight stab oh wow actually really good stab at max damage um you'll take 30 points as it slashes just after victory reminding you that one of these creatures is still there orrin you are up now what are you someone got out i can do my job he's really excited just like oh wow nah he's not gonna go anywhere um he's gonna throw a seed he's gonna be like die monsters you don't belong in this world and he's basically going to take the uh five both of these two on the southern part of Baldrick here uh and both of them uh i'll i'll cast this again just so you can have it there um yeah they'll make me a i'll do poison this time just for fun um 66 poison damage coming in then you make me a dc3 reflex save otherwise i'll take 20 damage okay to the left most one and then the right both succeed yeah so they 10 which i think just absorbs it yeah yeah it just absorbs both which is terrible i'm trying at least it only takes one action for doing that uh i will then uh give the rest of my actions to gergar mangar uh who will and have to enter the slip and slide what do i need to make acrobatics please uh not a reflex no no acrobatics when you're moving through it's acrobatics that's weird uh i rolled a seven on a die for a total of 25 i feel that's not the winning roll there right uh for you it is it's like it was just the the initial one which was the higher dc so you're good okay uh does when i should get up there uh because all the rest of the actions go to him so he gets three that's one and then he's just gonna start attacking both of them so we can attack the left one first with crits with an 18 on the die picture i rolled a 303 in my d6 it's for a total of 26 it's gone it dissipates as gorgamugger tears into it excellent uh he's gonna attack with the other which is a miss for the five on the die i feel that i want to kind of crit fish that uh i'll spend my last hero point absolutely that i have on that i'll do here in a second uh it's not a crit no don't roll crit damage it's not a crit rolled a two and a four of my d6s for total of 13 it's not gonna be amazing it'll uh get a little bit gets him up a little bit helps every time and that is gonna be in devorn's turn all right that brings us to rua all righty daddy thurston i'm this isn't actually a cliff because they just kind of like walked up out of the water right they floated up so it's not like it's more of like a cliff around here but like here like vena was able to come ashore okay okay in that case rua is going to dash around vena the opportune angle that

good you got one that last one hit that last one does hit now for you to roll minimum damage yeah that roll is just smoldering you can't say that stop stop moving fucking stop the last of the spirits is dissipated as the as the pick comes tearing through it all around the sounds of battle seem to be diminishing clearly in the distance you can see that dread captain volley has managed to dispatch several ghosts with her ghost touch rapier oh of course of course you would have that of course of course you know that's that that enchantment is going to be useless like most of the time yeah only one used once yeah but and what's she going to have if it's not good against anything but ghosts I mean it's just a rapier what's it going to do kill the rotten effluents that's this covers the area seems to recede as the tide pulls back um whatever caused this manifestation seems to be drawing back Oren can you give me a nature check sure can boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop that's a 16 for a total of 38 as you begin to analyze what has gone on you can tell that this is yet another sort of manifestation of the old powers diminished presence that without their protection assaults like this and strange manifestations are going to become more and more common as whatever malign intelligence animates the rot pokes and prods closer into society as you ponder this all of you hear a booming sound above like a not a tortured sound but an exasperated as a shadow appears above and a great sky whale veers off into the distance you notice upon its back is a great mass the vessel of captain shark skin is he okay and do a nature check to see if that was a well sky well cry of distress or i'm moving along it's enough it's enough for you to know that it's like moving under like not duress but like like the kind of like whale equivalent of like you've uh you're making the horse go a bit faster not like in in any kind of bad way but like yeah exactly i turn off the game master radio who relate all the information that's what's going on wow so question is where the hell is he going what did he see well if something's going wrong i think we need to link it with your mom first see what the situation is and see what she knows she was here first right yeah avina's going to shake out the water wipe off the rot and just run over to where the rest of the fighting was happening yeah um so you you you head towards captain volley as you do so um the the captain is sort of kind of removing the stains of her own weapons as well uh looking up and down at you not too bad wow i think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me what what the hell was happening here has anybody tracked down a source of where the hell all this came from past few months it's been coming out of the sea occasionally nothing like this past few months that would line up to when uh marlene's old shit happened yes your events you think they're related almost certainly there's a reason why the rot's creeping up and why the old powers are dormant right now hello hello captain are you here and rushing into the fray as the rest of your comrades come up is yiza the waterway admiral the small halfling running still bedecked with you know scrolls and other gear oh captain oh there's a bit of a problem huh huh huh huh yeah oh oh hi other uh vena um journal the hubbub uh sharkskin he um he took the hat what he took the he took the dread captain's hat what why the fuck would i thought we stole that yeah i thought we have that like no we we did not we didn't do you saw a picture of it in the house the actual one is was like in the vicond estate i thought we had that i don't miss that detail when i saw things that are pictures i i assume they're real and with yeah i believe all the pictures in my picture book is real this isn't super mario 64 tanhauser we don't just have pictures that turn into real things that permanence failure next you gotta say heaven's real i hope when you die you don't go anywhere it's true i won't i go back to space yay yay yay okay so this can't possibly be connected to sharkskin right or is he just using the commotion to steal off with the hat that's that's exactly what he did he took the hat him and some of the wishes they broke in everyone was occupied and looking after their own stuff he he went in i was there doing my my my work and and the few guards they they what one man was stabbed he was stabbed so many times was he stabbed 97 times no 87 specifically 87 stab wounds only 87 rookie numbers gotta get that up okay well we can give pursuit after sharkskin does it look like there's any more of these creatures manifesting that we need to stay behind and take care of the dread captain volley is now like staring off into the horizon where shark skins like ship is moving off that's his game what what's his game well he wants to undo the wish undo undo he doesn't want the child to be dead oh child's dead turns but the wish that keeps them animate they want to become inanimate well if they don't have their captain anymore they have nothing to live for in their eyes yes they must have a dearth of purpose there might be deeper psychological issues going on with our friend sharkskin perhaps we contend to them yeah we'll give chase go back to our ship and we're nimble enough we should be able to catch them um yeah vena you you bring this this this point up um very much expressing a sort of the the the situation as you are seeing it and say that you can catch up but then you you feel something strange like you you momentarily lose your balance um and you you fall back as this happens something something strikes you and you feel yourself falling like you're like you're in water maybe it's it's it's a very disconcerting feeling and you've experienced it before once during your death as as you feel like you are trying to swim up through an ocean of dark black viscous awful liquid and you see something a light at the top that you're swimming towards you realize that it's not a light it's a hat and that your salvation is tied to that hat oh and that is where we will call today's episode oh i've gotta put that hat on yeah not unless the children's toys crack it like an egg so they can end their own existence first so we'll have to see what happens next time on an exciting episode of rock grind thank you so much everyone for watching check out everyone's socials down at the video description below when it's up on youtube for all the
