- Give the rod a hundred dollars to f*** off. It had to be more than just a regular platypus. The damn thing was the size of four bears. What's his name? Did we ever ask it? That's an excellent question, Orton. I think that means he's happy. I don't speak ooze. Oh, great wonders high up yonder. Let these butt cheeks clap like thunder! It's time. For another amazing episode of Rot Grime. Yay! Yes! Welcome back, everyone. I love your life. Yeah, guy, yeah. Like a New Yorker, yeah. I'll say hi, everybody. Welcome to another amazing episode of Rot Grime. This is technically, we're still continuing off of an epic battle that we're going in for. But of course, we just want you to know who the amazing players are who are going to be bringing you that battle. Starting off with Odo. Hello, it's me. I'm Odo. I'm bringing you Veena, the sylph swashbuckler. And then we got Hulky. That's me. Hello, I'm Hulky Crow. And as always, I will be playing the Kanrasu cleric. Hello. Hello. We took your hero point away, by the way. You were late. Yeah, I know. Good. Thank you. Smacks you. No! Gives you a kiss. I'm really confused about our relationship dynamic, but okay. You're welcome. Here we go, speaker. Hi, everybody. I'm Speaker D and I play Ted Hazard, the wizard. Then we got Erndel. Hi, I'm Erndel. Same as always, playing Baldrick, the human alchemist. Here I am. There I go. The one who leads us through the hellscape is our Lester's Game Master, Thurston Hillman. Greetings, traveler. And of course, I am your host for this evening. I am Zoran, the wizard, playing Oren, the Strix Summoner. And of course, because it's a new Quotantation Marks of the Year session for us, but we're still in the same combat sequence. Thurston has granted us all a hero point, except Hokey. Except Hokey. Gotta stop shaming him. Hold his hand. He's gonna rebel. Throw him. You're overdoing it, Billy. Dial him back. Bring it in. And so with that, we'll be basically continuing on with the epic battle that we have been going in for. So Thurston, if you could continue the beatings, we will. The beatings? Ken Hauser, it's your go. Oh, God. We're right into it. Excellent. Here to the point where, ah, ah, my battle music. I told you to go, but even I wasn't prepared. Well, you should have been prepared. You are not prepared. I wonder if he's gonna catch on for this. You are not prepared. What battle music do you guys want? You know, because we did Banjo-Kazooie. Can we get some Ska? I have Stagecoat High, Steven Army, Lord of Bones can go pretty good. Lord of Bones? I love Bones. We'll do the Bones. We'll see how that works. Take you to the Bones Zone. Bones in here. No, I don't want to go to the Bones Zone, actually. No, I got a load of Bones going, you know. It's like, wait. Did you put an image of the stone wall? Like, in between sessions? Oh, we got images. I did. Oh, shit. I got really fucking mad that I couldn't, like, tell what some of the templates were. I must wonder if it's just by hyperfixation on these types of, because I could tell what all the templates were, but I guess if someone blinked, they would just lose consciousness of, like, what they would be. Like, I knew, but it was like, I just was like, there were two visual elements, and I just added them. I was just, I was done, and I did it. Right. Type one of the music. Okay, well, I'll fix it on the fly. But of course, it is Tannhauser's turn. Tannhauser's turn shall be quite quick. I am going to open up my turn, and I am going to place my hand on my chest, and I am going to siphon some of the magic out of my bonded singularity engine built into my armor, and I'm going to use drain-bonded item. Okay. And I am going to get a casting of corrosive muck back, I think. Actually, what do you think would be better? Muck or blizzard? I'm willing to hear it from my esteemed colleagues. Do you want more puddles, or do you want big, blowing-up power shot? I think AoE might be better in this situation, because if that... Is the head, like, floating, Thurston? The head is floating, yes. That's only... The muck's only going to hurt... The muck's only going to affect one of them at that juncture. Do you really know it? All right, so in that case, I'm going to go ahead, and, uh... I'm going... No! No! That's not wise, because I can't howling blizzard normally! I don't know why I even bothered asking you! I'm taking corrosive muck back! Uh-huh. Um, and for my next trick, uh, I'm going to try and just climb this wall next to me. And just get on top of it. Okay. Um... Is that able to be done with my one remaining action? Weren't you flying? Oh, yeah! Why am I even... Yeah, I'm just gonna... Oh, well, I'm underneath the wall now. For himself, why not? Yeah, yeah, here, here, here, here. If you put how high up he's flying, he should go over the... Yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha. I think you were, uh... You were up 20 feet, because that was how high that thing was. Yeah, so... Now that the thing's head is gone, surely I won't be getting hit every single turn for flying. Right? Right? Right? Oh, fuck. Well, anyway, that's my turn. Uh, excellent. Go ahead, if I can be put upon the wall. I don't know how. I think it's because, um... Yeah. Because it's a template, it overrides, so let me do some magic characters. Is it a tile or a template you put in? It's a template that I put an image into. If I put a tile in, it does a weird stretch thing that is a problem, so I will figure that out. Yeah. Okay, just tolerate it for now. For now, just think of... You are one of the wall. I am one with the wall. And I will pass turn to the horrible, uh, gelatinous monster. Wallio. Well, the headless, now headless body of the rotten beast rears back a black void that weeps liquid, um, thrashing about. Could it not? Uh, well, it could. Could I be more polite about it, please? It could. We're having a battle. Be respectful. What's your offer? Return this land. Return this land. It's going to fire a seed of unreality out. No! A what? A home? Yeah, that's pretty cool. How about could that be? That's what they call mine. What? Are you even older? I'm killing you. I'm killing you. I'm older now. I'm killing you with knives. I'm a... I'm a wizard. I'm killing you with knives. I can get everyone who isn't, isn't Tannhauser, I can get everyone who isn't Tannhauser, to give me the save I just dropped in, uh, in chat there. Are you just going to do that to us? Just alpha strike us? Like, some, some battle tech asshole? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My Kodiak also rolled a 19. Whoa! Pretty good. Why is it? Oh, there. Okay. All right. Okay. Success. Success. Come on. Success. I keep trying to set it, but it's not... There we go. Oh, no, it got one of our healers. Did get your healer. So, yeah, unfortunately, as a summoner, in case you weren't trying to learn from this, when both of your duders get affected by it, even though Gorgormunger succeeded, you take the worst, unfortunately. That applies to both of them. So, uh, Oren, uh, for podcast lasers, hold up. Podcast people might want to know what the rolls are. Uh, Dana, what did you roll? I rolled a 40. Yeah, but you, because you're suddenly like, even because of that, you got a critical success. And I got a critical success, indeed. Gorgormunger rolled a 35. That was a success. Oren, unfortunately, rolled a 27. That's a failure. Uh, Rahua, what did you roll? I rolled a 32. Awesome. And Baldrick rolled a... Uh, I rolled a 34 in total. Awesome. And just, Chet, Chet, should I use my hero point of the day to re-roll Oren's 27 or potentially work, you know, suffer a gruesome fate? Have Oren just explode by a rot mortar? Well, how bad could it possibly be? I mean, it could be really bad. It could be really bad. Yeah, this is also me delaying as I opened up my, uh, Google Sheet. That was a lot of D6s we saw Thurston just kind of throw on the table. Yeah, that's me pretty much saying, uh, like, delaying as I'm like, oh, let me get up my complication sheet real quick. Maybe if you're staring down an orc shooting phase, yeah, maybe you should, uh, think about it. Daka, Daka, Daka. Yeah, we're about to get a rest, Daka. Cast the jump. Cast the seed. God damn, that's a statement. And once that's suffer, all right, I'm suffering. Here we go. I'll take it. Okay. Just so you know, Chet, if he dies, he doesn't come back. I'm going to risk the seed. Yeah, remember, we're not sponsored anymore. If I die, I'm dead dead. Okay. We need Oren here. Everyone's too miserable. We need a NordVPN sponsor. What are you talking about? Baldrick is, Baldrick is much better now. Baldrick? No, Baldrick is much better. Tannhauser is an angry, murderous man. Vali is in deep depression. Rahua would have to burden himself with pure lightness. Without impossible tasks. Oren is the heart of the party. I'm going to be real with you, Chief. I'm not going to lie about my emotions. We're fucked. Hell yeah, man. Go ahead. Go ahead, Tosyn. I know you can't hear me right now, but you should really use your hero point. That's going to be 44 points of damage. Oh. Okay. If you succeeded, which I think is everyone else. Oh, Jesus Christy. Take half, so Baldrick, you will take half. Rahua, you will take half. Oren, you will take full. You are also, as this, and I will explain the full extent of it, you are also take 1d10 persistent rot damage. Ooh. Cool. I puke. Is that for all of us or just Oren? Just the one who failed. So just Oren. Um, and so what happens is this, this thing, like, moves around, as I said, it stamps, it thrashes, and then it points to this black maw, and a single moat flies out. Like a, maybe like an inch diameter ball of darkness flies out, and then it explodes like a nova, but it doesn't explode into, like, rot or any of those sorts of things. It, it just explodes in a way that fractalizes the air and reality around it, and so each of you start seeing, like, the world as though it were a cracked mirror in various places. Though for Oren, when you see that cracked mirror, uh, you see that it is oozing blackness in some places, and some of that ooze gets on you. Um, Dina, you do backflip, and none of this affects you. Um. The most depressed backflip you've ever seen. Damn right. Uh, alright, so... That is... It's two actions. And then for its third action... Begins to trundle backwards away from you. Stamping backwards. The artillery is moving away. Engage in a melee. Um, kind of shaking the ground as it does so. And that... is the end of the rot cannons go. Vina, you're up. Okie dokie. Um, well, I'm 15 feet in the air. How far in the air is the head? I-I-I don't know. The head is floating just above ground, right? Oh, just above ground. So it's just kind of levitating. Yep. Alright. Well, yep. Um, might as well start getting rid of these things. Um, so it's just above the ground. So I'm gonna have to go, uh, um... I'm gonna have to go here. And then I'm gonna have to go down. Can I use my... I-I would have to be on the ground to tumble through, wouldn't I? Um, like, you can tumble through it, because you tumble through its space. So it's just where it occupies. Alright, so I will... Okay, so I-I can tumble through to get down to its level where I can hit it? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay, sick nasty. Um, so I'm going to tumble through it. And... Boom. Nice tricks, me. Oh, yeah. Throws that right. Oh, no! Oh, no! He's vomiting. We can't do this shit again. Alright, uh, so that will succeed. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. And I am now down to its level. I'm gonna go... here. Make it a little harder for it to flank me, but give my friends an opportunity to flank it if they want to. Not that any of my friends want to be in melee. But if they don't want to be in melee, are they really your friends? Gorgamonger will get in melee. True. Gorgamonger will get in melee, and that's all that matters. And, uh, final action. I'm going to hit it with my sword. Do it up. Or at least attempt to. Yeah! Ooh, nice. You're gonna hit it. Very nice. Hit the head. I hit his head. You can't play your attack move. Uh, not exceptional, but not terrible. 25 points of damage. Yes! You slash across this thing as it lets out this rending screech from the unreality that is its, like, non-existent throat. Uh, tendrils of rot and strange, like, clamping maws shift about in response to your attack. Oh. Yucky. All right. I'm gonna... Well, if I don't end my turn, it means that the creature can never take its turn. So, um... Checkmate. That's my winning strategy. Oh. All right. So what do we want to talk about, chat? Probably Rahula's turn. Yeah, that turn, we're never gonna have. Yeah, exactly. Oh, we have it now. We have it now. All right, Rahula. You're up. Ugh. This is kind of a yucky one, because I have to... I'm slowed either way, so I'm gonna lose some of my actions. Uh, that's true. But... And... Remind me, how long am I slowed for, Thurston? Uh, well... It was a minute, so this will be round two, so you have eight more rounds of slow. Oh, boy. Conditions. Yeah, and I can't... Actually, would I... No, it's a condition, so yeah, I can't dispel magic that. No. I'll... Okay. That is fine. Do I have any... I could... Actually, I... I don't... I was going to say I'm not going to do something, but... Let me just quickly check the range on you here. The thought occurs to me. What's real and what's for sale? Uh, let's see. Is Squirtemonger... Where are you, Tanhauser? Why can't you see you? Because I'm underneath the wall. Yeah, just graphics-wise, he's technically above it. If you can't go through it, and you can't go through it, and you can't knock it down, you know that you found the wall. What? The wall. What? The wall. Continue! No man on earth can be on the wall. There. There. You can see him. There. I've made invisible. End of this. End of this. You made that joke so excruciating. Man, I really, really don't want to be slowed right now, so I'm going to pick literally all of my teammates, and I am going to save you the trouble of me doing nothing this turn. I'm going to cast Lose Time Zero. Whoa! That changed the game, bro. Rahua just reaches out to his- To the end of my next turn, everybody except for you, Folly, I'm sorry, you're too far away. I don't know. Rahua reaches out his fingers, tugs upon your world lines like a bowstring and lets them fly back, and you are quickened. You just changed the game, my friend. Yeah. I lost the game. We all get either one free movement, one free stride, or fly around or whatever. Like, we get to just move for free, or it allows us to do one strike, like meleeing, something, something like that. So if you need a position and still have the rest of your three actions, like, this helps a lot. For Lose Time Arrow, this one specifically mentions that you can only step or stride. Yeah. So just consider this an additional bonus to your movement. Yeah. or a bonus move action. All right. I can't really go anywhere much right now, but make the use of this, okay? Yeah, you get it for yourself, too. So in a way, you now have one free movement and one last action. I think I... I'm pretty sure I only get the movement just because I'm still slowed. With that, does that counteract Quicken, or do I go back to normal? That's actually, I'm not sure. Quicken, I think, only just gives you the extra movement for that, but otherwise, you still lose an action for, like, action-based actions. That makes no sense, but you should know what I mean, I think. Yeah. You should be able to move, at least. In that case, I am going to quickly move up my full movement. 5, 10, 15, 20. I think the mucks devote to rain. Yes. Still there? Not if you fly! That's true, but I didn't do that to myself yet, so I'm just going to go. You will believe a tree can fly. I'll sit right on the edge, and with that, I will ask my turn. The edge, the edge, the edge, the edge. Okay. Always the edge, never the coon. Orin. Shut up. What? Don't give him any more attention. He's doing this for attention. He was late, and now he's doing this for attention to distract. Fuck you! Fuck you, man! You know what? You're being bullied, Hulky. Have a hero point. Hey! He's going to win! Mario always win! He just made the most game-changing play he deserves back. It was a tactical decision to make him look put upon by Thurston, so Thurston gave him a hero point. Oh, yeah. Erndo, my friend, you, very bold of you, and thank you for presuming that I am that intelligent. No, no, no, that was, I'm not giving you credit for shit. That was my job. I don't know when the fuck, somebody take your turn! Is it mine? It shouldn't be. No, it's mine. It's Oren's. I'll just let you guys commentate. Oren's going to spin with his staff. He will go, he will do a third-ranked heal. Oops, sorry, I picked the wrong heal. Other variant. There we go. Basically, he is going to heal himself, because healing him also heals Gorgabunga. Because I'm a sorcerer, not a sorcerer, a summoner, basically, like, to kind of clarify to everybody who's like, ever like, oh, how does this work? I'll get the healing, don't worry. Basically, I get to designate with act together. Either I can do two actions, and then my idol link, and then do some other actions. Or, in this case, I've spent two actions for this, so Gorgabunga can't do any funny two-action stuff. So, what he's going to do, I'm going to go, all right, Gorgabunga, I did two actions, you get my other two actions, because you technically get four actions as a summoner. So, Gorgabunga, even with the difficult terrain, he's able to get up to this thing. I'm going to get him kind of diagonal this way. So, he's still flanking with Veena, because there's a large monster with that position, and then Gorgabunga is going to bite the head and just go, rawr, and just try to, like, bring it down. He's like, I actually, do I want to bite it? Do I want to trip it? Because if I trip it, well, it'll still stand up and still do stuff. We're trying to DPS this thing down. He bites into it, just rawr, 17 at a time for a total of 38. It is flanking. Would a 40 be a crit, Thirsten? Uh, one sec. One sec. Pardon me. For some reason, it... Yeah, it's really not doing the flanking thing for some reason. It's fine. We can math it. No, no, no, no, no. Um, so, uh, no, you, you, you would not crit with the extra plus two. No, actually, I was more confused because for whatever reason, uh, it had the wrong name of the token. Okay, there you go. Gotcha. Um, yeah, no, no, it still will not crit, but you'll hit. Awesome. Uh, so roll 2d8. That's a 5 and a 3 for a total, with a plus 7 for a total of 15 points of damage as Gorgomers is going into this thing. Uh, and that will be the end of my turn, handing it to the Flying Spaghetti Headmaster. Unfortunately, Oren will now take that, uh, rot damage. I take, uh, 3 damage from it. I roll a recovery. I fail by rolling a 10. Oh, that's right. Uh-oh. Stay loaded. Oren Vobbid's like, it's okay, guys, I'm going to head. No. I told you to have your mouth closed. That's a buggy. Ugh. Suck here. Oh, that's sick. Alright, so. Don't look at me. I am not doing anything to you. Oh, no. It's going to use the shaman's special spell, Chain Lightning. Bro, I didn't do anything to you. I'm not part of this fight. Okay. Hey, come on, man. Hey, come on. What did you just have it do? I have shared. I am. I have sharing in chat what it is doing. Fuck. For podcast listeners, can you explain it, please? It uses the ability Waka Waka. It strides. It passes through creatures of its size or smaller during this movement, and creatures it passes through in this way must give a reflex save. Here's the reflex save. This will apply to Veena, Gorgamunker, and Rahua. As the mouth, like, sweeps up over to you, Veena, and then flies down towards the rest of the group, just biting in the air everything in its path. I succeeded. Of course, I have a Vazion. I'm fast as fuck. Do, do. Aw, that's a, uh, that's a failure of the 24. Waka Waka Waka Waka Waka. I'll save, I'll save my hero point. All right, we're, uh, eh, that's not much better. Ooh. Ooh. Waka Waka Waka Waka Waka. Not ideal, suboptimal, one might say. So 25. Are you gonna, are you gonna use that one hero point I gave you just for this? Is this the plan? Thurston. Why would you phrase it like that? Waka Waka Waka Waka. I'm gonna, I'm gonna eat this. I'm gonna eat this damage. Yeah. Or the damage might eat you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker, you're backing up my Waka's. I appreciate that. Have a hero point. What are you doing? He's doing a bit. Fun. He's called Fun. He's having a good time. Gorgamonga's gonna take 20 points of music damage. Oh. Ruhu is gonna take 20 points of damage. And then for its last action, um, see this, this, this, this, this distended maw of rot remembers its former life. It remembers this brief moment in its existence when it was attached to a body. And when it was attached to a body, the last target it saw at that point who severed its head from its body with a mix of many, many bombs was Baldrick. So it will attempt to bite you, Baldrick. Uh-oh. Okay. Uh, looks like that will hit. And it will bite into you at the end of its long road getting from there to here for 25 points of damage. I will turn that off. Sorry about that. It's like, uh, yeah, I'm just gonna have to take your word for that one. There you go. There, I've revealed. I've revealed. Thank you. Thank you. No, no, no, no, my bad. I just had it set to a private for someone else. No, I understand. Cool. There we go. It bites into you. So it is, it is spread over the party doing, I don't know, somewhere in the area of like 70-ish points of damage. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, we just need to kill it fast. Got that. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take cover. I'm going to use take cover because I'm under the assumption that this wall here is a wall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so in that case, I'm going to use the take cover action. Okay. Oh, I got a switch on. Increase your AC. Yep, yep, yep. One second. I have to get the, uh, what, what level of cover would you say I'm in? Um, so this would be plus two, so if you're taking cover behind it, I will give you the plus four. So would that be lesser standard or greater? Uh, so it would be standard and then it would go to greater when you take cover, so you'll get plus four from being behind. So I click, like, when you greater for cover then? Yeah. Cool. I am taking cover. Uh, can I throw something while taking cover or do I have to do that? Yep, absolutely. Okay. In that case, I mean, regardless, like, regardless, like, the order, you can pick the order that makes the most sense. That's fine. I just wanted to ask, make sure, because he's going to do this to avoid getting ranged out. Now the next thing I'm going to do is, in order to make, to facilitate killing this thing, I'm going to draw and throw my last potion, my last bomb that I had prepared, which is a bottled lightning, because we need to try and do our best here. Yeah. Uh, I'm going to... And confirming the attack would take you out of it, so you would do the attack first. Okay, so, okay, that's... That's what I need to know. Gotcha. So I shall, in whatever order, I will just do that and then take cover. So I will throw... draw and throw bottled lightning. Strike. I have the right thing targeted. Yes. Bazaar. Go! What was that noise? Oh, good. Critical noise. Oh, also nat 1. I'm going to re-roll that. I'm not even going to play that. Yeah. Oh, right. Hang on. I need to check, because I didn't use up my... I didn't have to. My complications was a... Complimentation. Yep. I'm going to use my... What complications should I pick for this? I'll look at that and... Sorry. Yes. Oh, you're good. One moment. Oh, dear. I didn't have the complications table open. Oh, I have Begora. Oh, fight Begora. Oh, fight Begora. It's okay. We got distracted by talking about certain people's fucking CR rating. It's true. A little bit. Uh, right. Here we are. So I'll... So I'm going to re-roll that, but I don't take the complication, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to re-roll that using a hero point. Hero point. That's much better. Whoa! Whoa, there we go. That's just a hit, but it's good enough for 38. Uh, let me damage you with lightning. This is a sticky bomb, by the way. Yeah. Halo, sticky bomb. So 16 direct and 10 DOT. So now we'll take 10, 10 electrisimity persistent. And it is now off guard until the start of my next turn. So please, our melee classes, please. Please! You mean melee class? You, Veena. Kill! Don't worry. I'm on it. Go get him, Lauren. Yeah. So that'll be that. And then that's the end of my turn. Shall I tell you the complication now? Yeah. Let's find out what you're complicating with. Uh, so this complication was provided by, uh, Zed Hunter 2012 and it is titled Unstable Complication. Or Unstable Concentration. Not Unstable Complication. That'd be silly. Uh, hang on. Let me make sure this is actually what I wrote because I can't. Right. In the event of complication, this could be used for alchemy, a complication on a gunshot or magic spell. The resulting mix of gunpowder, magical energy, chemicals, causes a black, a blast of black smoke to completely cover the inflicted person's face in a comical manner. I will let you do to me what you would think that would do. He was probably preparing to throw another one and it blew up in his hand. I will say that as you prep, um, yes, there's like the comical Looney Tunes explosion in your face. I will say that this will dazzle you for your next turn. Great. So that just means basically things you target get concealment. Great. I will end my turn then because I only have two actions I can do but I am still in cover for now. As you are throwing bombs. Go to throw another one forget that you're, uh, forget that you're, you know, uh, slowed. Try to do it too fast. Bomb explodes in your hand. Tarnhauser, you're up. Yeah. Remember, you're still slowed. All right. I'm going to, with my beautiful, oh, I'm just measuring. I'm going to, with my new found haste given to me by Berhua, I'm going to quickly dart in the air over here and then I'm going to say, leave the head to me. The rest of you, focus on the body and then Tarnhauser's neck is going to shift. His limbs are going to grow longer and I'm going to cast ooze form at fifth level. Ooze? You think just because I'm a wizard, I can't do anything in melee? No. Absolutely not. So, here's the spice. Okay, do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. I hate copyright rules because if I could, I would go find a picture of Ivan Ooze right now and I would erase your habitat. Oh my god. If I did the stuff right, you should, you should transform into an ooze token when you drag the effect over onto your token. so. Hell yeah. All right. So, I am going to transform and I... It's not Paul Freeman, I'll be very angry. I think with the slowed condition, I think the best bet is going to be Black Pudding. So, Tarnhauser's going to get big. Oh! Pudding Hauser! Pudding Hauser! Tarnhauser's body becomes a flowing mass of liquid metal nanomachines. and Jesus Christ, you... Okay, now we come full circle to the T-1000. Now I am the T-1000. Von Neumenauser. It's really awesome and gross and disgusting. All right, here's the trick though. I actually cannot attack this turn. Correct. But I will be getting lots of lovely goodies. I'm going to be getting 40 temporary hit points, some nice resistances, and a pretty meaty attack, assuming I get the chance to throw it. All right, I will then pass the turn because that is all my actions. Well, it comes back to the big lad. It sure does. Um, oh gosh, the big lad. Um, like, like, like, okay, like, like, role-playing moment, right? like, alien-minded eldritch entity, um, followed by, what's the threat? I don't know. Is it Ivan Ooze that's appeared? Is it the, the literal dragon? Is it the, like, acrobat who hasn't been touched by a single thing I've done? Um, I live a hard life, y'all. I just, I need you to understand. It's Russell's earth. Now, I'm just gonna five-foot step up here. Oh, um, quick question, Thurston. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's on your turn. Uh, technically, Gorgermunger and Veena should have got attack of opportunity on your head guy. Do you want to resolve that real quick? Oh, I thought he's, don't worry about this guy. Don't worry about the big thing. The head, when he decided to move away, he, he strides. You would have got AOs. Yeah, yeah, you would have got AOs. No, we would have got AOs. I was wondering if you want to get that real fast. Yeah. So, me and you, Veena, just basically target the head and just do, like, melee attacks. So, here's Gorgermunger. He would hit with a 14. Veena would also hit. Yeah, two hits. We're melee besties. Yay! Oh, there you go. Yeah, so we both rolled 35 and Gorgermunger did 15. Well, you did. 17. That's cool. That's cool. That solves my other question, then. Thank you, Veena. Uh-oh. That tells me who the body's going to prioritize. Thank you. Uh-oh. So, it, it, it steps up through the muck, which is unimpeded by. And then it raises one of its elephantine feet to bring down on you. Well, hey, now. In fact, don't do that. We're actually going to move like that because that's easier. Hey, now. You're a rock star. Yeah, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to, hey, that's two steps. We're going to stomp. Nah, it's just, it strided. That's two steps. Stomp. Oh, I miss. Uh, oh wait, I don't have an extra reaction for nimble dodge. Yeah. Hmm. Hmm. Well, you've both taken your actions since then. So then it's going to shoot a quill at you and won't provoke a ops because you've already taken reactions. You're up. Oh, okay. It misses again. It's, it's very upsetting spaghetti and angry as it like smashes a foot down, lets out a roar, tries to shoot one of its quills at you, Vina. The quill sort of bounces off the ground as you manage to get out of the way. That is this creature's go. You're go, Vina. Please, no, Steppy. All right. Uh, I'm going to move, uh, first action. I am going to tumble through as best I can. Um. Hey, ho. Tumble through. Let's go. Let's go, Vina. That's a crit. Critical success. Nice. Uh, do I get anything special for being a crit success? I don't think so, actually. No, you just self-guard it. And I'm gonna, uh, use my movement to get here so I can flank it. Uh, is that flanking technically with Gorgamunger or do I need to be one step down? Uh, technically, one step down would be the ideal way. If it's a large monster, where she was before, I should do it. Large monster, it's not that direct with larges. Oh, okay. You have other spaces to do it with large monsters. Gotcha. I, I will, I will, I will still be here because I think I can make it there. Um, all right, so that's, uh, one action. Second action, hitting it. Okay. That succeeds. I'm getting deeply suspicious of the amount of successes I'm getting. Damage. That wasn't very good. That's 24 points of damage. And then for my, oop. It's angered. It shakes around more. Oh, oh, he's shaken. Uh, and then I'm going to hit it one more time with a map minus five. Choking. All right. Choking and dying. I whiff it. And that's my turn. All righty. All righty. Rahua. That's me. That's you, Rahua. Uh, how high up is this head? 15 feet? Uh, no, no, it's just hovering off the ground. Oh, so it's at ground level. Yep. Uh, Coolio, Coolio. Uh, let me take a look at my teammates here and how well they're doing. Uh, I'm, I'm pretty hurt right now. Yeah. I'm taking a look at you. I'm hovering over you, but my one overlay is, oh my, you are very well. 38 out of 118. It's pretty bad here. Okay. Okay, King, I got you. Uh, I'm going to do myself a solid because you're adjacent to this creature. Uh, Rahua, seeing this creature is now near him, is going to wind up with his pick and our kick energy coursing through it. And I am going to attempt, as I've done before, to do my funny healing strike on restorative strike, specifically, for two actions. Let's pop that in, yeah. I'm going to smack him as soon as I am targeting him correctly. As soon as the interface does not bug out on me. That's funny. I'm going to hero point that. I'll allow it. Thank you. Thank you, Thurston. I appreciate you allowing that. I'll roll a 22. That's a whole fucking way! There we go. Go for it. Now that's a hero point. Get him. Yep. I'm going to apply the critical effect to it. Oh! Woohoo! Woohoo! For 48 points of damage. Not bad at all. Baldrick will get the effect of a heal popped on him as soon as I roll that for you. Yeah. Win, action, harm, or heal. Popping that right now. Target you. I'm going to heal you. For 24 points. Okay. I'll give it a little bit of a juice up. It helps. It means I will survive it attempting to hit me again at least. And that is all I can do because at the end of my turn my quicken goes away anyway. I'm not going to move. So I'm going to hunker down right here. I'm going to press the heal button, Thurston. So don't press it. Okay. Okay, I pressed it. I'm good. Also, can you move that because you critted him? Please don't. I could move it closer to you. Yeah, okay. That's fine. I don't know what you Speaker, I don't know what you thought I was going to ask him to move it towards. It's like can you move it closer to me, Baldrick? Yes! I'm going to move it on top of Baldrick. Holy critical failure! Critical fail, which doesn't do anything on a critical, like, on an impactful, but you want him here? Yep. Okay. And that'll be my turn. Or I'll just slam into this creature sapping its life vampirically into Baldrick and just duck into its Icarus flesh, drag him a little bit closer to Tannhauser. He's all yours, Flannhauser! I squish and make goop noises in response. I think that means he's happy. I don't speak ooze. Orin time. Orin's safe for me. It's Orin time. I'm going to Orin all over the place. No. Also, not to speak out of turn, was I supposed to have a second hero point? Didn't you use your thing? Yeah, first, then. Oh, you might. I'm not sure if you've clicked on the thing twice. I have two on my things. Yeah, no, no, you have no hero points left. Yeah, that's what I thought. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. I was balancing because some of the audio was doubling and I was fixing the production stuff. So I was like, oh, so I probably missed it. My bad. It's okay. That's why makes you think, oh, a free hero point fall for me. Why don't mind if I do? Hooray. Thankfully, Gorgomonger's already in position to where he's at. So, oh, man, do I want to, like, double? Make it double? Make it trouble? Do all the swords make it wobble? Yes, Master Yoda. Sorry, I don't know why I'm weird. Anyway, I'm thinking, I want to try this out. Just going to see how it works. Horan kind of puts his hands together and goes, oh, great wonders high up yonder. Let these butt cheeks clap like thunder. And he cast thunder strike. Just as a big just thing of thunder comes right down. That thing needs to make me, sorry about that, a 20 basic reflex save or else he will suffer 54 points of damage. That is to the body. To the body? Okay. Horan, is that what the incantation is supposed to be? Oh. Well, well, I'm on great news for you. Hello? It doesn't matter if that's what the incantation is, we're convoking the butt cheeks causes this. That thing will take 108 points of damage. Oh. For butt cheeks, all those are possible. All right. Okay. That sound, that sound is accurate. It's accurate to how it feels as a, like, searing arc of electricity goes into the distended black maw of its body. Yeah. And for Orin's third action, because that was two actions for Thunderstrike, he will do boost or extend boost for boost Eidolon. I will see if my macro thing here works. One second. Actually, I can't. I have a number of focus points. My bad. I'm just going to cast normal boost Eidolon. That'll be his third and final action. That means Gorgermonger has one action left in which Gorgermonger is going to aim at the body because he's already in flanking position with Viena. Thank you. And he's going to fight. Just he missed. He missed. But I have a hero point. And so Orin's going to spend his only and last hero point. And please forgive me for juggling a bunch of things right now. And re-rolling using hero point. Fortunately, not a crit, but thank you for the rule of Keeley. Hits with a 27. Doing 28 plus 11. Just Gorgermonger just thrashing into this thing doing 21 points of damage. It takes the damage. It's it's not liking that. And that is the end of Orin's turn. Of course, Orin will roll his he'll take one thing of rot damage and he starts throwing up and he'll roll a recovery check. Natural 20 on it. Yeah! Yeah! Literally puke the rot out of you. W turn. That's coming up, Orin. Yeah! That is the end of my turn, Thurston. Orin stays winning. Cool. Well, I guess I have to go with the mouth. Biting. Oh, no, it's done biting. Maybe if it attacks the slime, will it like take a chunk out of it and then start swishing it around and turn into liquid? No, but I do think it's going to tag all of you with a 30 foot emanation. Well, almost all of those Venus, thankfully. Not the great Vena. Oh, actually, wait, it's one sec. Oh, oh, I think this actually still will hit me in one second's an emanation. So it comes from its square, not it. Let's see here real quick. Scared. Dun dun dun Yeah, you should be. It's going to make the monster do it emanation plan. Hey, it better be a reflect thing. I'm just going to turn up the intensity. You're still, you're still, you're still just out. You're still just out. It is going to. That's good, right? Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's going to use its ability realm of rot. So everyone in there has to give me the will save that is marked there except for Nina. Excuse me, Thurston, I'm in cover. Yeah, cover doesn't protect you from psychic screaming from beyond reality. The wall is soundproof. A streamer used this building. Would you like to use it here? I declarate that it is I don't have one, so I'm just going to sit here. So you're going to roll that will save. I'm trying to click it. It's hard to hear a point that I do not want to do that. I had a success for a 31. Cool. Thank you, Patrick. Which is funny because your success is the same effect you already have. Remember, before you accept that re-roll, make sure you do re-roll using here point so the key rule applies. Oh, that's so right. I'm so foolish. Always make sure you do that or else it's not like we don't basically like this is like hard foot producer putting down. We don't don't accept those roles if you don't do it right. Uh, all I'm saying is re-roll I'm not saying re-roll using hero point. You have to add a hero point. That's why. Okay, my bad. Yeah. Make sure it's on your character sheet or else it won't pop up. Fool. Unfortunately, we have not had the advanced technology to get our stuff synced up. One day we might not 20 worth it. Okay, that was that was fishing with three dice. So, but that's fine. It's total. I'm totally willing to take the second option. I don't want to be I don't want to be weird evil. I don't want to be weird evil. I want to be good evil. He didn't do the thing right on the second one. I understand. I'm just saying it's three, three rolls, but yes, I get it. All right. Who's next? There's going to be Orrin Gorgomonger. I have to take the worst. One's a six. Good. Yeah, one's a 15. I have to take the worst one. So, Gorgomonger failed. Okay. And then for who? Yorp, Yorp, Yorp, Yorp. I have a plus 21 on my rolls to will. All right. I will not bow. And also, you have the equivalent that Vina has for will saves, but for reflex saves, but for will saves. So, if you make a success, it becomes a crit. Very epic. Yeah. So, okay. So, for the failure, which is Gorgomonger, and Orrin, you are both dazzled for one minute. On the Rahua and Tanhauser nothing then, and then the success for Baldrick is basically the same because you're going to be dazzled for one round as well, because, but you were already dazzled from the complication, so. Nothing. So, so effectively, the bomb blowing up in my head, in my face, gave me tinnitus, so I wasn't actually subject to the scream. Ha ha, tactical, roll myself up to action. Correct. That's its, that's its two actions. Then for its last action, it's going to bite at you, Rahua. Okay. Hey. Missed. Sure, sure. All right. Oh, another one. How half God plated thirst in this day. No. Baldrick, you're up. Does it need to try and buck off the DOT? Oh, it will at the end of its turn. Yeah. So, not that I want you to take less damage. I'm just trying to be. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, thank you. Sorry, it's because I use other windows, so I don't see when the chat immediately updates right after, so. No, that's totally fair. Anyway, I'm going to throw a versatile vial with electricity effect at it. Now, this will take me out of cover, but then I'm going to go right back into cover, so. Okay. Well, I'm going to have to put it on the body because apparently we're targeting the body and Tenthouse is going to take on the sculge. So I will attack the body with this regular versatile vial because that's all I'm down to right now. I have four of them left because I just threw my bottled lightning, so I'm going. It's okay, you got, we got this. I'm trying to think, what, what, what can I offer for debilitating? I can't do anything useful with debilitating. All right, versatile vial sticky bomb on the body. It's within range. I threw and with an 11, that will just barely hit with 30. Oh wait, hang on, I had to roll the dazzle, right? Sorry. Yeah, just a D. It's a 10. I made it. Yeah, you're good. You're good. I had to damage it. Actually, no, you didn't have to roll the dazzle. It included it in your thing. Oh, did it? Yeah, if you look at your attack roll underneath it to hit, there's like a dazzle thing in there. make it a little bit easier. Oh no, like I, it said that up there and then I rolled it and then I got the 10. Okay. Yeah, you have to click the die. That's click the button. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Regardless, you take 19 electrical damage and are then taking 10 to go to cover. It will continue to shriek and rage as it shakes about. I'm just going to have Baldrick take cover again, so that's my turn. Throw bomb, take cover. Cool. I'm down to a very small action economy. Hey, you should no longer be dazzled now, Baldrick. I will remove it from my thing. I, uh, is dazzled a visual effect? Pardon? I can look at that for you. I, I, I, I, your eyes, um, one sec, if your vision, if vision is your only precise sense, so if you have other precise senses, you're good. Yeah, I am immune to visual effects, while oozed. So all of that, it, yeah, so it's, it's weird. What do you have for, like, do you have any special senses that it gives you? Yes, I do. I, I am not just blind, funnily, as funny as that would be. I do have, um, I have motion sense within 60 feet. Um, so I sense nearby motion from vibration and air movement as a precise sense. Yeah, then you're good. Okay, great, great, great. All right, it doesn't matter. Oozehouser is going to look his foe in the eye and say, and other such insults. Um, I am then going to reach out. Setting noises. Thank you, you're very, very welcome. Uh, anytime, I do them for free. Uh, I'm going to go ahead and make a pseudopod attack. Now, I am not flanking him, he is off guard, so let's see how this goes. Let's rock. I will hit. Yay! Okay. All right, so here's the damage coming as, uh, Tannhauser suddenly makes one of his pseudopods into a, uh, a scything blade, or perhaps a bludgeoning mace. Let's see how it goes. Just to, just to help you, Thurston, does that thing need to still be off guard, or? Uh, one sec. Yes, yes, it does, for a different effect. All right, but it'll come off later. Um, all right, I hit him for 29 damage. Good hit, good hit. Absolutely. That's like, uh, that's 46 plus six bludgeoning and like, plus two to eight acid. You did like eight acid and 21 bludgeoning. Yeah, it's pretty, pretty nice. Whose form is pretty good. Lose attack. All right, and, um, I'm gonna go ahead and make a, uh, I'm gonna make a map at it. Let's see how that goes. Probably won't do as well, but you never know. Yeah, that's a miss. Oh, lack and a last, a miss. A lack and a last. That is the end of the Ushhauser experience. I passed Big Mouth. Big Mouth. Well, Big Mouth is gonna go. But he doesn't have to. He is. He can pass his turn. He can. He can, he can take a little nap. That would be so tactical of him. You know, like, like, other monsters in video games, like, Monster Hunter Wild, they, they start running, and they're like, I'm gonna die, to make some recall knowledge checks on us, you know? Yeah, all three of it. It's gotta find out our weaknesses. It's, it's dying, but I, you know. Uh-oh. What's it doing, Thurston? It's, it's utilizing its reality unravel ability. Um, and it's, uh, like, it, it, it plinks out another shot, um, this is not in a, this is not a ranged strike, though, so it doesn't, um, doesn't provoke, it's not a manipulate action. Um, so when it does this, it just, like, its mouth opens, and it blasts out a little dot, which explodes in the air again, uh, as it does that, again, the sort of fractaling, uh, situation occurs. Can I please get, uh, saves from, reflux saves from the folks who are in it? So again, everyone, who is not making me down. Got it. Now, Thurston, you are, you are behind cover, Baldrick, uh, this counts for reflex save, so you will get plus four to this, because you're taking greater cover behind up. Okay, so I check the box that says cover? Yep. Okay, we'll go for it then and see what I get. I got a 17, plus that'll be clear. nice. Yep, I am taking cover. I have a quick question for you, Thurston. Does rock damage count as diseases, poisons, or radiation? It does not. Okay, then I will just go ahead and roll. We got, ah, success. Success. Go ahead, Rahuga. Oh, holding, hold on. Rahuga. Where's the beat? There's basic reflex. I was looking for it, it was like, where's, where's the 40 line-up box that differentiates itself? Yeah. Oh my god, I just keep rolling the same numbers. It's six and nine. Okay, nice. Thurston. Good. Thurston. Is it pretty cool? Yes. I, I kneel down on my big wooden knees. Oh no. I prostrate myself before you, the dark god outside of time. It's true, yes I am, that is me. I am not delighting in this saccharine reversal of fortune like my other players are doing. Correct. Could I invoke a complication for a pity point? So, you know, um, given the situation and where I'm at, um, in order for me to bestow a pity point, I need to feel pity for you, which I don't at this point. You're just, you're gonna take it. You're gonna, you're gonna take it. No! I will remember this. So will I. Uh, I believe Orrin and Gorgabunker in this little, uh, save dance land. what's the worst that could happen? Yeah, they'll be fine. Uh, I have rolled as a 9 of 7 they both have. Okay. It doesn't double down, it's just, just a failure. Yeah, it's just, just a failure. So, Baldrick will take no damage. Tannhauser will take half of 37. Okie dokie. So I will apply this. Boop. So you'll take 18 damage, Tannhauser. Um, and then the rest of y'all will take the 37. So I'll apply this to Orrin. Uh, I'll apply this to Arahua. and the two of you will also once again be getting some persistent rot damage as you, you see the, the sort of cracked fractals and witness the, like, the, the air around you, like, break apart and from those cracked fractal glasses you see the, the rot seeping in and some of it touches back onto you. Um, and then for this thing's last, uh, action, it's still really mad at Venus, gonna try to stomp her. Always take cover, kids. So steppy. So steppy. Oh, no. I will hit. I will, roll John DiMaggio. He was better. I will, yeah, I will say do 23 points of damage as it stomps on you. That scream was something. Anime girl scream. Yeah. Uh, then I will take more persistent damage on my turn. I will roll a recovery check for my persistent yanto damage. I will critically fail, which does nothing, but that, that is it. It's still electrified as its big stompy comes down, electrically charged as it hits you. Um, all right, Veena, you're up. I'll say 23 is not bad in the grand scheme of all the damage that's being thrown around right now. No. Yeah, yeah. This, this, this thing's like, it's not about like a primary weapon attack. Like, that's not what it does. Oh my god, it's like artillery from Total Warhammer. Yes. All right. Um, so, is this, uh, a will save thing a lingering effect? Do I have to worry about tumbling into that? Uh, no, no, no. Okay, sick. I just left the, the dark red light there to scare you and add ambiance. Thirsten, turn off the light. my energy bill is already really high. All right, I'm gonna hit him with a tumble through. I'm gonna tumble through him. There's the Vena rolls. Oh, still succeeded though, still succeeded. It don't matter. None of this matters. Fast as fuck. He's just really big. You've turned it into RGB lighting. Gamer light. Do you think this severed platypus head could run crisis? It probably can't. It can definitely run doom. It can run doom. It's gonna run bad rats here in a minute. Uh, all right, I'm gonna hit it with my sword. Hit it with your sword. I'm gonna re-roll that with a hero point. Hero point it. Hero quest. Hero point. Hero quest. Well, that barely hits. That hits. Good God almighty. That does hit. You all used your luck the last round. It was like. I know. I love this group. Like, oh my God, our luck is so awful. Like, 320s and four ones for me in the last turn. Did you like, uh. I just hit. I wanna ask real quick. Uh, Odo, and this is not me rules lawyering again because believe me, I don't wanna do that. Did you re-roll using a hero point? I did and I just barely hit with the five so it didn't give me the plus ten. but, okay, that's fine. Okay, cool. I was wondering how that even works. I'm like, wait, why didn't I give the ten that time? Evil machine. Uh, because apparently it doesn't not do that if you actually. I think if it, if it succeeds, then it doesn't give you the plus ten. No, you rolled a five on the die. It's supposed to give you the thing. So when you did right, like, did you say re-roll and take the new result or re-roll using a hero point? Re-roll using a hero point. Uh, do me, do me a solid. Uh, I'm gonna add you another hero point in two sheet. Uh, do your tech again. We're not gonna accept the result. Don't worry. Uh, I, I hover over it and it says re-rolled using a hero point. Yeah, I just gave you a hero point. What I'm saying is, uh, just, uh, test it. We're doing live testing. Yeah. We're testing. Do it again. I'll give it a try. And that's an eight. All right. That one hits. Uh, you want me to re-roll using a hero point? Yeah, yeah, re-roll using a hero point. I guess it just doesn't give the ten and you succeed. Okay, that's a nine. And it didn't give me the plus ten. All right, something's wrong there. Anyway, uh, would a ten bump that to a critical hit? Uh, a ten I don't think would bump the 26 to a critical. Because it'd be a 36 at that point. Yeah, I don't think it would. Yeah, just ignore those new results. Anyway, just take that, uh, yeah, go get to you on. Just quick test it. I'm more just asking that to Thurston. It's all good. It's academic anyways. Oh! How you murder this thing. Oh! Give us all the feels. Vena's going to fly up with the big cloud wings and is just going to just plunging dive into this horrible black maw of rot. Just gonna kind of stick the sword in and wrench it and then land, stumble, and go, ta-da. Can somebody get the rot off of me? Still got a problem over here. You did it, Vena. He just throws up more rot. Oh, buddy. You're doing great. Nice job. Good job, Vena. Thanks. And then for my final action, uh, I'm gonna, uh, reload my pistol. Uh, unless you want me to use my last action to move so I can flank this big guy, but I think Gorgomonger's got you. Yeah, Gorgomar's coming in. All right, then yeah, I'm gonna reload. If you can spend the rest of your movement, like, it's all difficult terrain, so I don't know how much you can get in there. Uh, I'm flying. It will help Rahua if he decides to swing. Like, on his turn. All right, then in that case, I will not reload and I will, I will schmoove. Yeah, then he'll be in melee anyway on your turn, then you can start stabbing. Yep. All right, that's my go. End turn. Rahua. Zoran. Yes, sir. Are you keen to crank a bunch of damage into this or will you be able to throw your healing muck on me? I can heal you. Okay. Because basically I'll have Gorgomonger help out with some damage and I'll come in and heal you. Sounds good. See, my options right now are to smack him, get one action heal or two action heal myself. But if you're going to do that, that's awesome. Yeah, I will get you. No worries. Thank you, brother. All right. Rahua's going to see this awful, wretched avatar of rot poisoning reality and he cannot stand by and just, he would rather die knowing this thing is dying with him than juice himself up more. So I'm going to attempt to make a strike at this creature. very nice. Dimage. Four. 18, Dimage. Very good. Very good. Oh. Describe how you murder his poor head. Yeah! Rahua just seeth, seethed by the fervor of how much he abhors the rot in all forms, reels back with his pick and drives it right into this thing's center of mass, just grabbing hold of whatever core this thing might have and like inky black sinew the rot comes away as he wrenches out whatever center of being this thing has and he just looks at this thing just brushes it with his other hand licking it off himself. He's got rot you don't want to uh yeah cause otherwise this will happen where he was like cracked and just seeping with rot whatever he takes Orrin whatever he takes and he'll just collapse to his knees that was no good ow Tannhauser is going to float over here you mean ooze Houser? dispel the ooze reconstituting himself well done it's finished how foolish of us to think that it would be so easy after hiding out so many months it's only going to be like this from here on out isn't it I had no illusions about this shit being easy definitely was harder than expected though we are finding our footing again after so long triumphant we have become accustomed to being vanquished this this was merely a warm up and yet still despite adversity we triumphed who else could have ventured into the swamp and scoured out this source of rot we were the only ones that could we were the only ones that did take pride take pride and do not despair at your accomplishments all right with all that said and done I Baldrick's gonna like look around at all the wreckage around us at the ruins of the village he's gonna just think for a moment before coming out with don't think there's anyone else here at the moment we may as well see if there's anything we can use yes yeah let's scavenge for material I'll go look at the bottom finish puking first kid fucked up noises coming from Oren today yeah I've added like picture noises so we have like when I take damage Gorgomonger takes damage so Gorgomonger also you know feels the pain for something in the roll I succeed I get all the rot out of me and and Oren will be like everyone eat your worms and Oren will come out to actually to save us time I'm gonna be doing first aid on everybody I could do it for 10 minutes instead of an hour on people so I'm just healing everybody up at this point yeah okay I want to try and have Baldrick look around for anything that we can use amidst the wreckage of this place yeah if you plan on yeah if you plan on going anywhere and trudging through the swamp as well let me know because I can actually help you out and not get any worse things on you I'm I mean I was just I was just looking around the wreckage of the town that we're in you know the thing that we're at rather than rather than going through the swamps well I didn't know if you were going to the nest at all that's why I was asking no I'm not going over there not yet I want to get the other stuff first okay yeah um okay so give me a perception check so let's check around here all right on it and uh what you're doing that Gorgomur will check the bones 18 Gorgomur got a 3 for a 19 anyone else want to help us loot I'll help give you a perception check all right rolling up there you go 36 36 okay so everyone's looking around the village which appears to be fairly picked over Rahua you managed to take some time and go to check out the bone pile that exists here um as you search it you find that there are several coins in here um there is something that appears to be like you you find bones but as you're as you're investigating them um you see that there's actually like a set of like fused alchemical plates that are in the shape of bones in this pile um it's some kind of set of strange armor um and then you also amongst it find a pile of coins um equating to about 750 coins and two rune stones um which you know are useful for weapon enhancements very nice i am going to just drop this here on the map so you can see it the treasure chest there you should be able to access that take a look at it i'm going over and i will take us out of combat yeah yeah i will put this in the party loot i'll take like orga monger you know and ordon's like orga said he found some armor and some other stuff and and like 750 gold pieces because he could apparently count that quick damn he can count even faster than me and i don't even know how to do math the dragon can count yeah the holy count he's really he's really good at math way better than me gorgomonger what's 12 plus i don't know 10 to the exponent of 5 gorgomonger goes where see he's really good he's really good he might even be a wizard uh ted hauser looks longingly at the ocean at the ocean at the ocean i look at the picture of the ocean that ted hauser keeps in his pocket at all times once they thought i was a wizard and now i am you're your own gorgomonger i do a wizard gorgomonger says he can cast fire like a wizard that's close enough uh tanhauser is going to uh eventually participate but he's actually going to be uh looking at this wall here and i'm going to take out um a baton and a hammer and uh i'm gonna begin engraving something in it ooh what you gonna put in it uh i am going to uh put this simple message here um here it was that five heroes stoop against the rot and prevailed fight for tomorrow and then i'm going to um nail one of my little pamphlets in it um and hopefully that will inspire the people of this town you know or at least uh anyone that comes upon this site to um not give in to despair and to keep the fight going you know who knows maybe we can get some level one adventurers out of this yeah this is like awesome like a new party's hut and he's like oh yeah we found this like random stone wall we thought it was like a house in the middle of the pond and everybody was like ah fuck it might as well build on it yeah you never know they could rebuild you know yeah i mean nothing's really stopping them anymore well except for the rest of the rod everywhere else okay the rod is stopping them but the old powers aren't like inexplicably burning houses down or blowing them up yet yeah usually that's what people do in response to the rot it's okay poverty's nerfic baldrick no i mean i'm i'm saying that because i've had to do that what you think the coring charge is just like something i made up like out of nowhere well yeah i thought you were a genius it's a tool that people have been using to knock over buildings without having to send people in there to fight off the rod it's usually just easier to burn the damn thing to the ground oh i mean i i get that i understand that i meant like i thought you made your own kind of variant of that like you're you're an alchemical savant i thought you made a more potent bomb i mean i'd like to think i do but explosion's usually just an explosion you're not really gonna feel the difference unless you're in it and boy howdy do you feel the difference oh it just like coughs up a little bit of soot from several other dalliances how long has that been in his system it's been in there a long time i didn't actually choke it out of myself the whole thing miss vena hey sure the rot might be everywhere but look what we did we took care of that thing emotions the giant rot monster they took down and we also took care of other rot creatures and things and and all that stuff you know like the rot's like he thinks for a moment like you know like a lot of other bad stuff and other bad monsters and hangovers and bad hair days but we got a lot of good things to counterbalance it you know like us and and our friends and a lot of good people you know chopping it up and throwing fire at it like mr bulgic and mr tanhauser who does like cool magic stuff to like freeze it make it go go away and rahua who does just he just kind of looks at rahua and is like weird shit and you you got like your flips and stuff and your stabby bits and you killed that thing you know like with obviously with us helping and stuff like you did a lot of stuff to it you know we definitely got a chance against these things yeah but maybe we do and venus gonna put a hand on his little head and ruffle his hair is gonna go take herself a seat over here and uncork the flask again oh is it drinking time again okay it's always drinking time oren do you think that you could get corgamonga to move the corpses on land yeah sure most excellent we don't want them to seep into this water supply corgamonga will help with that like take whatever remains you can scoop them up transport them oh yeah and i'd like to um take a look and examine uh these corpses i want to get an understanding of maybe how the rot was able to infect them perhaps or anything i could glean about their nature anything at all that could be uh i suppose scientifically or mystically interesting about them yeah uh give me occultism uh you got it oh i almost landed on the 16 but it's still 25 25 still good that's that's another trick of sticking yeah um some things yeah it's it's enough for you to know that like this is a focal point like typically how the rot works when it infests an area it has a focal point in an area uh that and that can be a lot of things it can seep into a creature it can seep into a like a piece of terrain or an environmental item uh in this case you know possibly a a humble swamp platypus uh ended up having some sort of rot infestation it or some other animal or some mix of animals that turned into this horrific abomination its size and torpor would seem to indicate that it was just kind of like a hub for this expanding rot that you can see around here like like even now you can tell um just by slaying this there is a bit of returning vibrancy the water loses some of that immediate black muck i mean there's still you know piles of bones and such around but otherwise um otherwise i think you know you can you can get a sense that this thing was here to sort of anchor the rotten place a physical manifestation of it that seems to be necessary all right that's that's very good to know so it's not like there's like a rot leak underneath the lake or anything no this would have been like a like an amalgamation whether it was like rotten the area from other things or just like a seeping of reality no one really knows like how does the rot get to places like that's sort of the one of the weird problems with it right um but typically when it does show up you know there are there are primal magic casters who can come in and help deal with it and like the old powers will often take a hand but this type of um creature appearing in this time frame is very unnatural like this went up fast as though there are less barriers and checks and balances to protect against such things i see um i suppose while everyone else is kind of putting this together uh last thing tanhauser is going to do is just um get you know sticks timber whatever like things that can happen kind of stick these guys in the ground and then just set them on fire so that way like any rot remaining here will hopefully burn off uh and all that remains if that is bones and whatnot yeah for sure for sure so you can just kind of begin like a collection if you will um of various things to start torching up absolutely yeah yeah uh thurston yeah can i attempt to identify some of these unknown items you sure can which one would you like to start with uh can i start with the plate uh yeah sure did you put this on yourself or in the people's loot uh zorn put that in the people's loot okay the people loot where is the people's that i can't see it anymore yeah i'm i'm also denied so it's not a thing anymore not like a thing like a character thing you see where the party is in the folder you'll see a paper icon to left of it click that oh yeah that's right right right they forgot the cash we got a lot of money we got a lot of shit oh my god but we can't buy nothing there's nothing here i'll buy the rod out true give the rod a hundred dollars to fuck off yeah i think that could work i don't think it'll expect that so i had 750 gold and had several uh unidentified things there's two unusual objects which are like runes uh and then an unusual uh unusual fortress plate so you'll have to go through the identifying rules with thurston if you are someone with like arcana stuff like that and uh to identify what it is yeah who i have i have arcana i have dropped i have dropped into chat that this isn't this this plate this bone plate is actually an alchemical item oh really yes you want to summon baldrick over to look at it hey baldrick huh it appears to have followed i guess this creature had some kind of weird used alchemical plate in here could you come take a look at this he drops a bunch of like discarded bottles from the ruined building he's in and he comes over he's not found crap but for who was the one who found stuff i can't move but i will assume that he will just go over there and he will take a look at it oh sorry i just there you go yeah just click the button patron save of hero points uh let's see sorry i'm looking at something here all right so i think i'm just rolling on my proficiency and my intelligence here yep why is it just saying my crafting is i thought my crafting was expert at this point hang on let me double check something here something's not right pardon me uh yeah for some reason my crafting went down to train i thought it was expert why'd that happen i don't know is that like what you had on the uh when you built it in the other program or yeah this it was that the one that i built it off of was the one that we've been using for some reason my medicine's expert now though i just might have been there just double check it next time you could just swap it oh well i'll look at it another time in any case i'm gonna click the button and roll that now uh let me roll get an eight for why did i why did that privately roll it's a secret roll because you don't know if uh you identify it correctly or not okay could i assist him perhaps i do have something for crafting you can you can roll a craft check as an assist i am a master at crafting i can also assist you could also just make a second check later too that is true oh true like uh okay so so you were assisting though right uh rahua uh yes because i'm assuming balderick has a higher bonus one way or the other okay mine's a plus 17 i have a plus 12 so all right so that is enough for you to identify this so what this is um this is a bone dreadnought plate this is a masterpiece of alchemical science uh if someone wants to read what it does but it will give you the description of what it does there into the chat sure may i oh go ahead i mean you have the alchemist i may as well yeah uh this suit of bone based fortress plate is a masterpiece of alchemical science this armor has a receiver that can hold a single loadstone bomb which takes three interact actions to install a loaded suit of bone dreadnought plate can be activated to cause the bomb to shift numerous plates and hinges offering a wide variety of protections granting your resistance to cold electricity fire piercing and slashing damage equal to the loaded loadstone bomb splash damage these effects last for 20 minutes but each time you're hit by an attack the deals damage of one of those types decrease the remaining duration by one minute once activated the armor can't be deactivated the armor uses up one the loadstone bomb during the duration and can't be activated again until a new one is installed heavy armor six plus ac or plus six ac uh dex cap minus three ouch and a minus 10 speed penalty oh excuse me no i got that backwards that's a zero dex cap modifier so you get no bonuses to your dex cap while you have this on it's pretty heavy and i'm not trained in heavy it's also worth about a thousand gold pieces yeah but that's also really good and if you put that on rahua i could put a big bomb in his chest and he becomes invulnerable you don't turn me into johnny five if johnny five was designed explicitly to kill and continue to kill thurston you'll have to excuse me when it says loadstone bomb what does it mean by that does it just mean a bomb or does it have to be something specific a bomb um so uh loadstone bombs are a type of bomb um that was in treasure vault um so they are basically um they're like force bombs so they're bombs that do um yeah they're bombs that do like force damage and force splash damage um so they're like a different type of of bomb but they're like typically like a 12th level bomb i see so i'm a bit out of range of that right now uh yeah yeah but that that would be the the how they how they operate so they're like there's a there's basically a loadstone bomb and a greater loadstone bomb and the like loadstone bomb is a 12th level the greater is like an 18th level bomb yeah that'd be pretty good once i learn actually how to do that yeah uh because because the thing to keep in mind is that is so is this counting splash damage prior to added effects or is it counting splash damage from me specifically because if that's the case that's going to give a whopping 10 to those kinds of resistances across the board um so i think how it works is it's just the bomb splash damage it's not your addition to the splash damage okay i wanted to i wanted to make sure because the the implication is yeah the bomb that i'm making is doing 10 splash yeah and and the way that it works for you is my understanding is for that is that that's more of a skill thing it's less than like the bomb you're doing is doing it because that's a debit i know i know still a lot though anyway yeah guess we'll pocket that for later um i noticed we have two unusual objects in here that have yet to be identified i uh just dropped some skills in the chat that y'all can use to identify these here items well i suppose i could uh slow down country lobster like me could try and identify some of the magic items if you wish to you can use any one of these here skill checks yeah you guys were in your room for that from the depths of outset but i know a shiny object when i see one i've got i've got none of these i've got nature religion how long these have been in our inventory unidentified we just got these yeah okay yeah it's it's it's not it's not a repeat of the first great shame yeah uh there were so many comments in the other videos going like where the fuck are they gonna go through their inventory to bite look man we got a lot of stuff going on right now never bags is the least thing we're gonna be doing i'm getting into crafting i'm gonna be looking at this inventory all the time also you can right click your thing in chat and to reveal to people because it's secret roles because of pathfinder's ruling oh shart it's okay it's just a secret role so it does it automatically so um i can i could try an occultism as well well okay okay so so it's so it's it's a secret role and the reason it's a secret role um is because you aren't supposed to know the results um because if you completely botch it i tell you like oh it's a you know happy-go-lucky cure potion except yeah it's a jar pickles so generally speaking like the the secret stuff for these is is intentional um that way you know like you don't know if you've identified something that being said um ruin tannhus or you have no idea what these items are or at least this item is or we'll try nature check you can't go through all the skills by the way you you kind of do one and then you get to you have to wait a day before you can try to do it fair enough let orange do the thing yeah yeah there we go all right do it big and make it nasty i believe no you got the same number as i did uh hey uh oran you're not sure what this it's a thing i'm a bob hey vina i am a so dumb uh i am trying to try your best hey everyone let's figure out what these rocks are tomorrow everyone's bleeding and hurdy and you have to eat your worms to feel better in the morning let's get the hell out of here wait but there's two objects i want to do the second object can i do the second object yeah look at the second object first one second one second for me all right all right all right wait one second second second second second i have to have to drop the everybody is rolling the bones i posted the relevant this is skill checks into chat but this it's clearly something i don't know did i win or make his roll let them know what it is and then you can figure it out for me i guess the dice are on fire fuck it's a it's a weapon potency rune plus two it is a plus two weapons potency rune so that will give you a plus two bonus to attack rolls um when you uh adhere that to an item it's a rock that makes your things hit really i got such a lot of pickles it makes your weapons even more magical nice i can't wait to have this affixed to my sword oh yeah i used to kill people with a sword all the time that was cool i guess you can still use a sword anyways anyway i suppose we should eat our worms now yes everyone got their phone worms oh i hate the worm wait i don't even taste why do i care uh because he's trying to be funny what's up because he's being funny that's why you don't like the worm he's pretty funny this is a joke so with that uh just i guess to fade to black i've at this point i'd be giving everyone worms healing everybody up um even with a billion rolls i'd get them all healed up with first aid um yep so if everyone wants to put themselves at full hp and stuff and you're all i would love to go at this point you're no longer slow thank god i can take this infernal slowing off of me and my cover too my wings are gone um yeah with that i think we're gonna move on all right now everyone's eating their worms mmm brahula did you like your worm yes oran i love the worms they were brahula had like an audible crunch of a beetle shell in there i love the hard ones i love the way they feel between my teeth miss fena did you like your worm yeah buddy i oh i always love the worms mr tanhauser yes the worms are pleasant and mr i say as i turn on the uh food processor did you like your worms mr baldrick baldrick's drinking a bottle of water to chase it down with it's time to drink water yeah sure why not god i'm glad everyone's nice and healthy now uh-huh i'm pretty sure making sure everyone's eating their worms on their way back to the village baldrick throws a bottle of water to vena can you drink something that's not ethanol based mmm do i have to yes then sure and she'll uh uh down the water much like downing a shot it burns the back of your throat do you chase the water with more alcohol as yes the the shot is the water the chaser is wine so you're away from your bike you want to make sure you're oh sorry the the the shot is water the chaser is wine why does wine as a chaser isn't so bad that's just you're just watering down you're just you're drinking grog but you constructed grog i've got a bottle of wine and a sidecar of water that's called refinement so true i'm a lady poisons i thought you were a drunk i'm a drunk lady oh common misconception my mistake common misconception i am tannhauser oh hi tannhauser did you know that you might be a wizard i'm getting annoyed oh look zabel zaps trading outpost appears in the near distance oh we made it we made it back ah excellent all right where's a thon uh as if on cue you just hear it said and then you see then what i did was i decided to show her my and then you walk in there's the old man a thon sorry i didn't mean to interrupt you ten house no i didn't mean to interrupt you okay go ahead okay hey thon hello it's been dealt with it's uh wasn't nice but it's been dealt with oh what was it like a one of one of those those rot dead corpses a pretty sizable one it was uh thurston what was the name you described it with again and would i know what that animal is the platypus it was it had to be more than just a regular platypus the damn thing was the size of four bears the it was a big platypus the big ass rot platypus big ass rot platypus all right i'm gonna make something up yes yes it does not have a scientific name because it is a unique abomination against reality it looked like some kind of greater platypus like a colossal one it was easily like time the fuck out did were you just like drilling me of like what kind of name does it does it have some scientific title and you're like thurston out of the way i got this all right some kind of shades on greater you had every opportunity thurston thurston you had every opportunity to give me a name that you made up and i would have said that name cool you gave me jack and shit so i took the first thing you gave me you have only yourself to blame for this the greater platypus now exists it is the size of four bears and when it gets infected by rot it gets horrible venomous mandibles and an artillery attack write it down as long as they added to the breast you had you could have you could have you could have stopped this i ask you because i value your opinion salty gargantuan platypus greater platypus i am just going the size of the mini yeah and to think once that creature was once an innocent platypus i mean remember that bit at that size it's uh probably wouldn't have been very nice at that size anyway but regardless it looked like it was thoroughly infested with rot and it was a bit of a i gotta say it's picking better and better things to infect as time goes on because that was not i wasn't expecting it to be easy but it certainly was way harder than i was expecting any of us i think but we got through together that's the problem there's there's no there's no old powers to stop it right now normally like i said we'd find out about these things we'd be able to use our powers to stop them but who it's too many of them and our powers aren't what they used to be have you have you tried using guns what use a gun next time the powers don't work no wonder the old powers abandoned your ass come on old man oran veena has been using guns since we got here and he's gonna clasp he's gonna clasp both his hands on oran's shoulders have you noticed that she's much more effective with the rapier than the pistols guns really don't do the trick against the rock creatures i wish they did but i don't know how it works i've studied projectiles i've studied ballistics by all accounts guns should be doing more but they're not oran but maybe your guns are tiny maybe it's because of my rippling muscles and my incredible swordsmanship be that as it may veena the pistol does good damage in a nominal sense yes guns aren't gonna cut it here yes we need and he pulls out the coring charge again and he pushes it under oran's nose we need something better oran we need folks just figured he's like no i did like a hundred something damage with lightning strength yeah but that's not a gun now is it no but see that's actually old power power that's primal magic right there he didn't use that then what we need is the old powers to return which was our goal anyway outside of the you know monumental political reform yeah you gotta bring back the crutch yes friend and the bastion freeholds gentleman walks up i was meaning to ask you about that so what is your political reform wait what's your name are you hello we me and tanhauser here talked for for like good good 20 minutes what's his name did we ever ask it that's an excellent question did you bring him to your fucking revolution without asking his name well i have i don't have it in my notes i have in my notes he's from the bastion freehold zoran's doing a fucking bit because we talked about this last night you asshole you asshole i'll keep an ass i'm gonna fucking drag on this cigarette just what the fuck are you you would have been fucked if i had a name you would have thought this would have been so funny and if i had the name your pants would have been down but alas tis me without the pants we'll put them back on and ask his name well why don't you introduce yourself to my friend here oh i already know your name i just need you to make sure he knows yes of course that's right shadow tanhauser my my name is vantor it's a pleasure to meet you vantor hi vantor i'm oran hello holds out hand uh he takes hand has a has a firm but not too firm grip i'm assuming it's v-a-n-t-o-r oran shakes it i'm like i'm like like oh and i was like there might be a test now there's a test i guess i'm gonna write it down it's because odo's being better about taking notes this time as for your question my political reforms are comprehensive i seek nothing short than a proletarian revolution i shall establish a dictatorship with the proletariat dissolve the tyrants guild and then set about ensuring that the previous infrastructure of outset is replaced with a series of worker co-ops and populace run power do you do you understand how it currently works well i am a master of society so i damn well better hope so he doesn't he doesn't our entire revolution is based on a maybe none of you guys have asked the guy who lives here how this place worked at any point i i okay no i lived here too motherfucker i have my entire tannhauser became the okay tannhauser un became a wasteland savage in outset i was trained by a very high-end person named ladies ale who has been name dropped several times i'm pretty sure tannhauser knows how outset works you know what's gonna happen you're gonna like get brought up to like actually the political figures like like who's gonna be doing this and this and they're like oh actually we've been doing that the entire time actually i'm actually we've been a utopian society the whole time i'm actually your ass we only thought to mention it to you now that you're level 20 you're only level 10 you're only level 10 no we're it's a populace revolution yes i'm sure they have another governance system we are we are doing communism in outset we are doing tannhauserism economics we do this is tannhauser thought with tannhauser characteristics well i know you only just seem to learn my name but yeah i'll join in on this most excellent but you should be made aware of another facet of our journey what's that well i understand that you come from a shall we say atheistic society part of our mission has recently become entwined with making certain that the old powers are able to return or at the very least that the rot can be stopped before it consumes all of time well i've i've got nothing against the old powers most excellent then we have an accord really my problem is about you know well my people's problem i suppose you'd say is about the people who become gods that's where the that's where the real problem is eh no i don't think you're under any threat of that here i don't think anyone here wants to become a god only people have become gods i don't have any interest in divinity i care only for civic virtue and violence well if you need someone to help with your paperwork i could help we'll be more than happy to onboard you for a period of time we must make sure that you are trustworthy of course i have no concerns about your competence why do you want to help what do you get out of it otherwise i have nothing to do i'm pretty bored here that's not a good enough reason why is it not good enough reason we've offered him a passage on the airship we soon intend to maintain to the location that he seeks to go he's otherwise stranded here in the swamp well baltron's gonna turn to fucking orrin and he's gonna ask why is that not a good enough reason well think about it someone who's been traveling around the world and stuff like that is either just wanderlust either settle somewhere which you know i get that but if you've already put all the effort in going somewhere then destination would be in mind it's better than no reason kind of a large gamble to spend a lot of time traveling everywhere just hoping you fall into something nice i like the adventure of it but for truth sake i came here to document things about outset and bring what i'd learned home but as i said i can't go home to orort not no ships moving out of there can't go back to the city don't have good passport hmm well suppose if we're going to get working on that we may as well take a look at the map and see what we're looking at here yes i agree oh boy who the hell has the map here we are here we are everybody it's a blast from the past it's hexagons hexagons i love hexagons wow remember this map back from season two i do not letting them see it same yeah we gotta get i was not letting you see it i know what we're about to look at i can see the text i do some text don't worry i am scouting i'll turn i see why i hope he's okay here we go bam how's that is that better now we're here yay hey so where the hell are we top left are we are we up there so no no you are technically here at zapple zaps oh sorry i thought i thought we were further outset is here and then the kaibu where we ended season two is over here okay i thought we were way further out i don't think we were right next to outset yeah it's a good bit uh oh well didn't you find a possibility engine out here it's somewhere in the deep reaches of the swamps it's right down there what the hell was i doing i think you were shut down you were shut down you've never been there before tanhauser you've always been there rahua stop it i look at the photo on zapple zaps and i see tanhauser in the front row with a huge school of people all smiling at the camera we'll meet again begins playing as it slowly stands in zapple zaps shop class of whatever year it is right now there's gonna be a room in zapple zaps where there's two guys and one of them is dressed in an old zorn the bear costume all right it's the bartender it's the bartender scene but instead of pouring tanhauser drinks they just keep pouring it to vina who's just there but otherwise point the scene over the drink all right we begin a fight with the bartender refocusing hang on all right i'm not saying that to fuck with him that is entirely true time is like a movius strip you're fucking with him knock it off no i i'm i'm being totally serious don't tell me i don't understand the nature of the cosmos i am the cosmos bitch i'm not saying you don't understand it i'm saying you're fucking with him knock it off i am a chronomancer i know all about the mobius strip you inspired me in time i hope to gain one tenth of the knowledge you know by instinct of this strange universe of ours you will just give it another season you're right and then season four i'll have a big brain you already have a big brain tanhauser and rahua points down to his chest it's in there really well no it's probably in your head i don't actually understand how your biology works now well i don't have very much of it left you might as well be right now then outset going to it we should think about doing that i think are we still wanted uh probably it's oh i got a perfect way to get in or i'll be right back he skitters away but then comes back with a brown paper bag and puts it on his head i love you dog baldrick's gonna pull out a ruler and he's gonna start he's just like they'll never know it's us you know what they won't just don't put a paper bag over your head zorn uh please tell us you're still safe and conscious i'm fine you know it the tyrant's girl will never know it's us warren you're hyperventilating you need to calm down i'm just like i can't believe you i can't believe you warren you need to calm down he starts punching him i just start ripping off his lips uh thurston yes using uh the map making materials i have available which is to say a pencil and a ruler can i get an estimate of how long it would take to potentially go to the cave i know it's not like we're not doing that because we're right based on everything you have in the overland travel and sort of optimizing you think it's about a 16 day journey there and then 16 days back to zapplesappers two and five that's not a trip we can really afford to take if she is there and she's not dead she's probably dead by the time we get there anyway not gonna learn a whole lot by just delving into a flooded cave it is possible that we could gain some knowledge but i'm not sure it's worth putting a month long kibosh on our plans we can always return on the airship once we've sequestered it i hate to say it but if vix tricks has passed she's likely already passed yeah nothing more to be done about that i think i don't know she's a tough bitch she's probably still crawling out there somewhere i don't know if she has gills she probably got drowned hope for her survival but prepare yourself for the worst i mean i mean i already tried to poison her we're not on the best terms that's fine she's pretty disagreeable i don't really blame you regardless now baldrick's tone shifts a bit because he realizes he's been bad mouthing someone like that sorry vina vina you like most mean women i do i prefer a mean woman well in that case i'll hope she's still around then oh thanks baldrick yeah now then uh so do we have a means of disguising ourselves we do have that hat of disguise with the loot that's good for one of us and i think it should probably go to rahua since he's you know got the least changeable form i agree with that additionally i'm going to shift through my spell book we could always dig under outset i don't think we have time for that isn't there like a lot of creepy stuff under outset yeah i don't know that could go pretty quick baldrick pulls out the coring charge yet again okay we have been under outset before and it's full of all sorts of creatures and gribblies not anything worse than not anything worse than what we fought so far not yet anyway roshi roshi the sad dog in the village vena's sad lesbian whining in the background roshi why are you in my room when the door should be closed roshi are you a sad lesbian what did you peek at oh my god roshi needs to take a assured abomination right at this point um from from the outside tashty comes in the uh sort of stone faced um plain touched individual from the same kaibu as athon who looks around kind of trying to be like inconspicuous but then locking eyes with all of you and coming over hello oh what's up tashty hi tashty well per our last conversation i think i've found a way to get you in really yeah well we'd have to go through the northeast gate of the city so we'll have to go around but i think we could put you in one of the carts for the for the great march um what do i know about the great march give me a society check happily the great journey well that is a 24 can i please attempt a society on that one yeah absolutely okay let's see if baldrick knows anything at all uh a 10 will give me a 27 so both of you live in outset so both of you have a pretty good understanding um this is the the sort of pathway that leads out of outset um from the the northeast east gates of the city that is a constant stream of undead that haul minerals and stone and other things that are quarried from the great sort of uh cliff faces and and underground areas to the east of the city um that connects to like various mines that dig down deep into the earth and sepulchre you would know that like that was sort of the area that the last time you heard from dita nison that's where she was going out um back in season the start of season three um but essentially to maintain outset's constant vertical growth they maintain um a like exceptional number of menial undead and those undead just like haul goods back and forth so you have zombies skeletons other types of creatures that are just moving carts of stone and some lumbers and other precious gems and whatnot that they harvest and that is just a constant in and out of the city well wouldn't be hard to hide amongst all that the undead are not terribly discerning with the stuff that gets loaded on to the cargo once we're loaded on though what happens next what's the next step well i think what we can do is get you somewhere in the rook's pilaster so that's where that's where most of the goods come out and they're sorted i know someone in the city who has offered to help they're gonna take a shipment for some construction in the pond's pilaster now nowadays there's tash deposes there's a lot of construction requests so they are moving goods in more than more than ever they've doubled the number of undead at this point that they've been dispatching care to elaborate on what they're constructing if you know it's storage i think there's some talk of building an expansion outside the city walls that's not what i was expecting i figured they'd try to make the same usual stupid gaffe of building logistics and trying to re-up the damn ponds palaster but that doesn't sound right well if it's what i heard when i was leaving with all of the changes they think they can move the city out now oh wait right they could probably expand now baltric seems actually a little bit surprised he hadn't thought of that yeah yes which that could go a lot of different ways that's probably more a problem for the architects guild more than anything else but it's a problem for all of us and it will be a problem for outset once we finish our mission all those people that have navigated to outside of outset are more than likely going to face the wrath of these new old powers but it's right now an opening for us yes i only regret that i can't seem to spare enough thought to ruin this operation on our way in that we should prioritize the airship yeah while we're in do we think there'll be a chance to maintain contact with our fellows inside of the city at this juncture i don't know if we'll be able to get in touch with anyone probably anyone who is associated with the revolution at this point is probably not keen on continuing without any leadership from you it's been a few months they will continue they will go underground my handbook covers this they will go underground they will find their ways i don't expect that they will flourish but discontent cannot be completely eclipsed their tyranny will create new revolutionaries even if i were gone that is what i must believe be that as it may we can't really consider it a an active benefit right now we shouldn't go expecting it to be the case but if we happen upon it that would be nice we'll try to keep our time in the city as short as possible undoubtedly they'll be expecting us there there's likely some nasty surprise waiting for us no doubt they've forgotten maybe over there we can kill that sandal moron were it so easy oh have to take a detour for that one i don't think it's worth it how many people does it take to run an airship depends on the size one back home took a crew of around over 50 how big is the one we're gonna take don't know it's probably not as big as papa storm's crown but chances are we will need a crew now we're flying by the seat of our pants right now so really we should get this information and then form a plan on that yeah at the very least we should be able to get it out of outset without a crew we can probably pilot it far enough and then figure out everything else once we're gone yes i agree with that perhaps it is worth making contact with some revolutionaries within the rook's pilaster if only to get some boatswins and other hands on deck but if we need to we can simply pilot it here to zablzaps and take volunteers i'd say we could probably buy some of them here we're kind of sitting on a bit of a treasure trove last i counted have we heard anything from duhakis or cronch or anyone else have we received any contact from them i'm gonna assume no but they went back to the city shortly after you've not heard anything they probably left about a month and a half ago to go back in i'm gonna see real quick if i can actually make contact with them yeah i'm going to um because presumably i would have time to since then to have prepared new spells gotten spell slots back you'd have to spend a day resting after yeah okay if you're spending a day yeah uh would you say a day has passed since we fought the plapotodomus um well you're you're we're kind of doing the follow-up talk now so if you're like hey let's take a day then you can decide to do that oh wait i don't even need to because i am spell substitution so i can take 10 minutes and change out one of my fifth level ranks for the spell i want to cast cool so in that case i'm going to cast sending and i'm going to contact duhakis it's tanhauser are you safe you're gonna jump scare her we are coming we will obtain the airship can you furnish a crew okay there there is a pause yep everything's going fine here no problems whatsoever don't know about a crew no problems you know where they are well she has spell she does have i think 10 more words if she wants to tell us you can't yeah but you can't addend him a message yeah true true true yeah like it's it's not like proper it's like what you said there is a response to what you said to another spell slot and send another i'm out of fifth levels i'll have to do it tomorrow yeah in the morning like i don't know where are you by the way lol did i tell her that we were going to the rook's pilaster i told her we were going after the airship she knows where that is yeah i'm going after airship you didn't mention okay um can i do a sense motive make sure everything is copacetic well like like in on a person or yeah just from just from that exchange like were things being held back did she seem under duress do i sense any kind of deception uh yeah you can give me you can give me a perception check absolutely okay cool cool that is a 16 on the die for 31 you get the impression that it was like it was you know not not deceptive but rushed like like you know that person who responds to to a text message like yeah that's cool okay like they were in the middle of something this was rushed in the middle of something which you know is pretty on point for duhakus like this is a this this this gargoyle is typically always in a book that's true so i i don't get the sense that maybe she was at a ritzy high class meeting where it's like i'm betraying them oh i just love selling out revolutionaries oh i consider myself a classical liberal okay good that's good enough for me i've just made contact with duhakus she's not dead but she did seem distracted if need be i can make contact with her again tomorrow distracted is uh pretty common for duhakus so she's probably not dying yes one can hope right but we should get a full night's rest and make ready to become intermixed with this shipment of oars soon yeah right and if that doesn't work or in your paper bag idea we're going to stick with that i'll get other bags just in case excellent put that at a distant second all right zabble zap yes hello pops out from like behind the counter when i first met you i thought you were a disreputable cretin i'm not completely unconvinced of that yet but you have my sincere and genuine thanks for hosting us over this month yes about the payment for that zzz yeah what are we looking at zzz i would like my looks it over you 50 gold pieces zzz that will be arranged for thweet very good zzz i'll make sure that our good friend zavble zap has his anti-betrayal payment excellent good very nice slides of gold dude get yourself something nice get yourself something smelly because flies like that stuff i was thinking of some of that paper you know the kind that you get stuck to a glue trap you want to die in a glue trap many such cases i won't judge you for your strange sexual predilections i'm gonna get formulating on a different plan than talking about this right now yeah so so you could you could scrub a zavble zap and get things paid off are you in any danger oh no no no the kaibu's still fine and i've got tashdy with me and we'll head back we got here no problem luckily the the rock things they're just staying out at the edges right the fringes of society baltric's gonna snap his fingers as though he's remembered something suddenly oh right i just remembered uh zavble zap quick question yes you still haven't opened the the sealed container have you no or sorry zavble zap sorry yeah not aphan aphan just got here zz no okay looks behind the desk do not open that we'll be back for it and we'll take it off your hands it'll be fine just don't open it what happens if i open it it'll destabilize and you'll die a very very painful death okay can i put it in the outhouse you can move the cart holding it just don't if you can do it safely do that same goes for all you guys don't open that we're holding on to it for now we'll be back with the air i should have labor to do it ms understood girl oh no that's your cue what oh no not the drunk child again the drunk child dives into the swamp she would later die of a cold she would later die as a cold it's the worst use of a narrative declaration so far she's dead she's the only one with a hero point she's the only one who would make it storyboard now i say with the life of a child no i don't kill the child you know she just dives into the swamp and like drifts out to sea never to be seen again she goes to a farm out of the campaign swamps don't go to the ocean they're swamps as far as you know odo this swamp has a tide the mangroves have entered the chat the billabong has entered the chat the mangrove swamp has entered the chat anyway indentured servant girl drunk yeah yeah is that what you have to go to vina to not that one different drunk character oh no i don't have enough alcohol irl for this vina you really need to stop drinking i keep confusing you for that little drunk girl and she's not blue or tall damn so anyways child please take the mysterious device to the outhouse no one is allowed to use anymore since the incident okie dokie is it gonna eat me the outhouse or the device yes the device won't don't open it you won't like what happens if you do that's a guarantee okie dokie thumbs up i'm on a journey of sobriety now so you can call me sober child oh my god how's that going poorly goodbye i take note of all of her a tabs i just imagine like the simpsons like sober child returned to her whole planet was like died on the way there would later die of a cold of course yeah sober child goes off to a farm with bremblo and uh and uh yeah we're like oh i can victor all the other things we don't do anymore yeah loved but not forgotten or wait wait no no no when we get a quiet moment assuming that we're kind of getting ready for rest i'm actually going to approach or orange or or or peacefully uh tanhauser approaches or or or or and command grab him or and don't scream he's close all right that's better listen i've been thinking about your current condition yeah and i've realized something i know why you may be feeling a strange connection to gorgamanga yeah oh okay well i guess i figured i'd get a question but all right i'll just keep talking then i mean you would see it was like hey i know what it is and then it's like yeah is the question like yeah like you know you are beginning a path it may be possible to reverse it i'm not sure but your druidic training is going to the wayside you are becoming what us arcanists refer to as a summoner are you telling me i'm looks at camera finding my path yes i don't know why zoran do you have any hero points left no nothing okay good because because you definitely wouldn't have for that thurston take money from his pockets now you know what no no no knock me down a pity point i feel pity for you no you didn't give one the you don't get the decision that stays no no no he's not giving us anything he's just removing a pity point no people paid for that i'm not taking what people paid for let this be a lesson to you now orin yeah your druidic training has likely prepared you no doubt you are strong enough will and intellect to be able to withstand this coming process but that would mean in many ways gorgamonger shall become just as much a part of you as well any other of your limbs that's your magic i mean ever since i you know ever since i tossed myself in the rib of his mouth and you know and he helped bring gorgamonger back i've you know at the kind of start everything kind of seemed normal it was like oh okay well gorgamonger is back but every you know day to day you have to notice i can't i can't do stuff anymore like i i can't shapeshift mr tannhauser i used to be able to turn into all sorts of creatures and try to talk to them that way and do stuff with the woods and everything but i i can't do it anymore but but like right now i know exactly where gorgamonger is like currently he's outside of the building you know patrolling around i think he ate like two mice so far and i know exactly what he's smelling what he's seeing everything before i didn't feel that and i feel like majority of the stuff that i did know is now just changed yes the form of your magic has asserted itself to be interlinked with gorgamonger he is now your eidolon you will likely lose many other aspects of your druidic craft but in exchange your connection with your creature companion will grow stronger and stronger still you will not be losing power warren you are simply embarking upon a different path well it means i got my friend back so i think that's alright yes it is i'm glad to hear you say that if you need any help upon this road i will be more than willing to do all research or anything that you might need in order to better acquaint yourself with tales and exploits of summoners i admit i myself am not an expert on them but i will happily become one in order to ascertain your path oh there's there's one thing i've definitely not really been feeling well ever since the whole thing i uh yeah the orn kind of like sheepishly kind of like looks looks around and kind of takes out a leaf and um the leaf like has like speckles of blood on it i think it's like never so often i've heard usually when i wake up i just cough this out sometimes i narrow my eyes on it i take the leaf could this be because you eat worms all the time no worms are good for you all right i'll take your word for that hmm um i don't know if i'm the right person to look at this but uh could i potentially roll arcana or any other skill to try to perhaps understand why this is happening um this this would not be an arcana check this um this would still be a nature check i believe you might want someone more immersed in the natural world to give you insight perhaps rahua where is he anyway oh no uh oran kind of blinks for a second uh where is rahua grormunger may see him so we just go he's there i'm here but where is here where is anywhere oran rahua stands over the landscape 800 feet tall his fist comes crashing into the camp i smash everybody this is not exalted second edition stop sneaker stop you know i hit level 20 outside of the game and now i said to stop freaking him out i know he grows from 500 feet back to his regular size okay i imagine where he was in like the lobby of like the tavern area yeah he's just he's milling about just like kind of swirling a glass around just oran points to him he's right there ah rahua i'm so glad that you're not 800 feet tall come over here why would i be 800 feet tall i don't even have that thing yet disconcerting oran here has been coughing up bloody leaves and i believe it has something to do with the natural world rather than the mystical one that's not good he's not supposed to be coughing them up he's supposed to be sticking them on everybody else that's what i thought but he isn't oh okay let me take a look at him rahua will get up the chair groaning under his weight finally returns back to its relatively normal shape all right mr oran what seems to be the issue i hear you're coughing up bloody leaves you know those aren't even in season yet we're not even supposed to get a changing of colors for at least that's even stranger i know okay let me take a crack at your insides well not quite i'm not going to spray you open uh let me see well i can tell you with certainty you definitely have internal systems uh thurston can i make a nature check why he's coughing up blood yes all right i'm hitting with a sixteen that's uh twenty four um you're able to detect something there's some change going on but the specifics of it are are beyond you to to find these are steeped very highly in druidic and old powers related um events now thurston i want to try this again because i've got i just so happened to have something in mind could i invoke a complication you can potentially use a pity point here absolutely okay i i would like to use a pity point yeah absolutely all right let me roll that one put the little dot on there we go here we go you're a point it'll be a 30 for the nature check okay okay okay okay what's the complication the complication from mr i'm sorry from numers is slip of the tongue you accidentally let slip either a secret you didn't mean to reveal or insult you didn't mean to be insulting whether during a conversation you let slip something the other side finds insulting or during combat pointing at your own team's tactics or weakness and giving the same energy it caught sorry it's it blew up team's weakness you either give the enemy an appropriate bonus for letting them adjust their tactics or maybe you're alone with your team and someone from your own team gets a tidbit they could leverage against you later either way your slip of the tongue either gives others an advantage against you or makes them angry at you okay okay uh you have enough with this to know that um you you have enough with a 30 to recognize that there is some sort of strange aging element to this like this is the type of thing you'd see in someone far older so there's there's something strange happening here you're still not able to fully deduce what's going on but like this type of of sickness would come to someone far older and it's certainly not a as far as you could tell like a medical malady well orrin based upon what i'm seeing here you're experiencing symptoms how should i put this we don't normally see these kind of effects aside from somebody who is greatly older than yourself it would appear that being exposed to some kind of greater temporal energies has possibly accelerated your aging you may indeed be older than you are whether that's through your odd bargain with gorgamonger or being exposed to me or the reality engine or simply being around your friends and any number of terrible things is forcing you to age faster it seems that being friends with people is causing you great detriment it may even be shortening your lifespan isn't that wacky you say my friends are killing me well i'm not saying your friends are killing you no i'm more of being around them or any sort of temporal displacements as they were is indeed killing you but but i love my friends rahul puts his wooden hand on orange shoulder and sometimes love hurts even more so your friends love you so much so they love you to death which may or may not be happening sooner that's where we're ending the episode that
