Fraser (00:00):
Nother realm is a narrative driven Dungeons and
(00:02):
Dragons podcast. In thisepisode, Bruce Frazier Tanner
and will try to tell dumb jokesand a compelling story. The
language can get a little spicy.
But if that doesn't bother you,then here's what happened on the
last episode of Nother realm.
Tanner (00:18):
And then you will see this sort of magical shimmer
against the door.
Fraser (00:24):
And then all of a sudden, over his left shoulder
shoots almost seemingly out ofnowhere. A glowing purple great
sword.
Tanner (00:32):
With this you kind of you feel some power wrenched
from you as you give some ofyour lifeforce to try and cut
this down over the
Will (00:39):
door says it is I normal human Jason. How are you people?
Tanner (00:45):
They all drop their fine, fine scotch on the ground.
Bruce (00:50):
I believe I found one of them in the nuts.
Tanner (00:55):
The one that you haven't talked to and also haven't
punched in the nuts. He's liketrying to get your attention.
You're not gonna do anythingfunny. I swear on my name. The
name of my father. Young Daniel.
Will (01:07):
yd can you go ahead and take us to the armory?
Tanner (01:10):
You're not getting in here. You roughyeds your look.
You're too
Bruce (01:16):
old now. That's a just
Will (01:19):
a caste old person.
Tanner (01:21):
Okay, all right.
Will (01:25):
It's uh, okay, so he doesn't do it. He doesn't save
Tanner (01:30):
as you guys are searching through here. You find
three interesting things. Thethird thing that you notice is
an empty stand. That wouldperfectly fit a one. Alright,
Bruce (02:40):
check the tired up fucker.
Will (02:42):
I guess Yeah, I guess we're gonna we didn't loot him.
So I guess we loot him now aftertaking this road.
Tanner (02:49):
Yeah, you guys. You look through his possessions. You
don't find anything of intereston him. A student ID. It says
Kelsey Grammer.
Will (03:02):
Great, great work. Yep.
Fraser (03:03):
Yep, you deliver this just because I'm here as long as
you came up with that. MarkBart? Yes.
Will (03:11):
Don't you use bonds? Would you have a use for a one? Like,
what was here?
Fraser (03:16):
But I have never used the one before. I'm not sure I
would even know how
Tanner (03:22):
I mean even when you're alone. Sorry. Go ahead.
Will (03:27):
Nice masturbation nope, leave it in state and their
tender has got bad masturbationjokes.
Fraser (03:39):
I've never used the one before. I'm not sure not sure it
would be of much use to me now.
Will (03:45):
Oh, maybe we don't need the one. Question you guys. This
shield? Does anybody else? Youguys don't use shields to you?
Fraser (03:56):
No, I have no use for shield either.
Will (03:59):
Archie Do you mind if I use this shield?
Bruce (04:02):
No, I've had it. Okay,
Will (04:04):
I'm gonna investigate the shield and you guys can do here
this is I don't know what to dowith this. This is a good X ray.
I guess it would probably fitsomebody with a lot of strength.
Archie. I'm going to do a Arcanarole on the shield Tanner.
Tanner (04:22):
Okay, give me an Arcana role. Just keep in mind that our
cannon is going to tell youwhether or not it's magical.
Maybe a little bit about it butwon't do the same thing that
identification would
Will (04:30):
now going to see if I have identification.
Tanner (04:33):
The problem is you do?
Wait.
Will (04:40):
Mark, Bart. Can you tell me anything about this shield?
With Baby? The identificationspill?
Tanner (04:50):
That's not one that Warlocks get.
Fraser (04:54):
Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of spill.
Will (04:58):
Okay, I'm just going And also, if I know what it is five
plus 25277
Tanner (05:10):
There is an aura coming off of it. You can't tell what
it does.
Will (05:14):
It's better than my shield though, right?
Tanner (05:17):
I mean, it would act as a shield equally.
Will (05:21):
But I can't attune to it.
I know well, you
Tanner (05:23):
can attune to it. You can 100% attune to anything, but
you just don't know what itdoes,
Bruce (05:28):
essentially means if it's cursed, you're fucked. Yeah,
basically.
Will (05:32):
Okay. See if this fit, this won't fit in the bag. Okay,
we'll just say I'm gonna takethis along with me. What's it
just use it for now.
Bruce (05:41):
I'm gonna go approach the axe. And look it up and down.
Yeah.
Tanner (05:45):
So Archie, you're taking a look at this axe. The head I
mean, it is old. It is old old.
It's withstood some test oftime. It looks like something
that's been handed down throughgenerations that just wouldn't
be used by an affluent family atthis point. Again, it is it is a
felling axe. But the hedges thehead is a little bit larger than
(06:08):
a standard felling axe. And youcan see the divots and stuff
from it's where but the blade ofit is incredibly sharp and
honed.
Bruce (06:19):
Alright, is it up on a wall like hanging? Like, you
know? Yeah, it is okay, I'mgonna on a plaque. I'm gonna
snatch it off the plaque andtest its weight. See if it's
okay balanced and usable forcombat?
Tanner (06:34):
Yep, you take it off the wall. It is balanced almost
perfectly. The half of thisthing fits so nicely in your
hands. You think you couldactually work better with it
than your current X? The onlyproblem that you might have with
it is that it doesn't have awolf on it anywhere. There. It
(06:54):
is honed and so well made. Thatyou know it would be plus one.
Bruce (07:02):
I see. Okay.
Tanner (07:04):
So this is a plus one great X. Whoa. But as you as you
swing it around. I mean, youjust notice how how well it cuts
through the air. It is. It isexquisite. And as you look at
the handle, right between whereboth of your hands are there is
(07:29):
an engraving in there. And itdoes read Abra lane on the haft.
Wait a second. Oh, laundry Ireally never
Will (07:38):
learned. I was thinking for some reason. Oliver Hadley,
okay. Oh, no. Yeah, I wasthinking I was thinking that
would be his axe or
Tanner (07:45):
some fucking wild. Cool.
So that is everything you see inhere. The guy that you got young
Daniel, he are young David.
Shit.
Will (08:00):
Young David. Andy does Daniel. Friday. I think we said
David,
Tanner (08:04):
why do you turn to you guys. You're welcome. Thank you.
Right, so I appreciate you notkilling that dude. If you'd like
we can go check out the lockedup man. Guard Captain. Hey, it
Bruce (08:26):
seems like a good idea.
I'm gonna see if he's well ironenemy is the enemy. We'll leave
them there. Who's an ally? We'lltake them with. We can use them
or use them.
Tanner (08:37):
He seems pretty dope. If like, he didn't hate us for what
we did.
Bruce (08:44):
Oh, you've kind of taken over and say that you're going
to take his hometown over andlock him in a basement and, you
know, some?
Tanner (08:51):
He's locked in the wine cellar though. So I mean, if you
gotta be locked up somewhere.
Bruce (08:55):
Well hope he hope he's not drunk.
Will (08:58):
If he's, if he's that dope, how did he get captured by
you guys? I mean, no offense,but we've just been pretty easy.
Tanner (09:08):
I mean, Zeke and his main crew. Different level, even
though they're all likedifferent colors. Different
level.
Will (09:15):
Got it. So, Zeke,
Tanner (09:19):
not good guy. That no Zeke's a good guy, but like is
his badass.
Bruce (09:24):
So you're saying we're probably going to have to kill
him.
Tanner (09:28):
Man, I'd prefer you didn't have to kill anybody
because then it's gonna be on myconscience that you know I kind
of lead you around. And like Idon't know if I can live with
that.
Bruce (09:36):
To be fair, we did say we'll kill you if you didn't, so
it's not really your fault.
Tanner (09:40):
I feel completely fine about it. Now. Let's go
(10:15):
And now we pulled back from thecurrent scene to get a view of
things happening elsewhere inthe universe.
The light grows closer. Heclimbs, the light grows closer.
He climbs, the light growscloser. He climbs, the light
grows closer. He climbs thelight grows closer. He climbs
(10:39):
the light grows closer.
He climbsa new sound brakes are go mal
caught from his ascent. A faintbeat. He shakes his head and
brings a pale hand to his tiredeyes.
How long have I been climbing?
Argo asks his gray surroundings.
Though he has climbed for solong nothing has changed about
(11:04):
this stairwell gray stone stairsand gray stone walls above and
below but this this is new.
It's not a part of the voicethat has long since abandoned
him. Argo ponders for a moment aheart he says as he places his
(11:28):
hand on his chest. His ownheartbeat is faint. Whereas my
mind been all this time. Thelight and now this
heartbeat it isthis place i i should not be
here. And those words. Show hereon best North River. Shoe
(11:50):
healing best drum. I am nowCorey Chu. He'll invest number
three VA fully Wilk Barun drum,I am now crave what what do they
mean? For a moment? Argo thinksof going back down the gray
stone stairs to meet death.
(12:13):
Maybe they would accept anapology. And maybe it would be
better to sink beneath thedrift. But an old thought
revealed itself. Whatinformation could this tower
hold? If it has been thisdifficult to get this far, some
unimaginable wonder must rest atthe top knowledge, his sole
(12:37):
purpose, one that he would losehis sense of self for it might
come to that he worried. Onestep and then another and then
another after that. Each stepI'll recount our findings. Maybe
then I won't lose myself again.
(13:01):
Right. Once more, one step andthen another.
One, the beating of a heart.
The heart and soul can beseparated. too. The pieces of a
soul can be made whole again.
Sorry. A soul can carry theoutlines of memories.
(13:31):
For a soulcan be contained in a vessel and
not decay. Five, a new mind isfragile. It can break.
Six sacrifices are necessary. Hepauses
(13:54):
as his eyes well with tears. Heshakes his head and continues to
seven. The soul must be capturedbefore it departs. Aid. A soul
cannot pilot a body of onlymagic and metal. Nine 1862 loose
(14:21):
wires start fires 1860 Oh. AsArgo attempts to connect with
the next step. He's caught offguard as he realizes there are
no more steps. He raises hishand and shields his eyes from
the light pouring in through theCrystaline windows that
(14:42):
surrounds him. He blinks and hisvision focuses on the only
object in the circular room.
There in the center. A smallgilded cage sits atop an ornate
alabaster pedestal. As hissenses returned he He realizes
how loud the beating has become.
(15:04):
With each thump, he takes a stepcloser to the cage. Inside he
sees a pulsating black heart. Hereaches out his hand to a small
latch on the cage turns it thenpulls open the door. From
outside the tower a screamresonates through the drift the
(15:29):
waves above the afterlife gostill. Shadows begin to climb
the exterior walls rushing tothe top with godly haste
Will (15:48):
Wow, how am I supposed to follow
that? Hello, dear listener, thisis will aka the voice of six.

(16:34):
because that cut scene was fartoo powerful
Tanner (17:00):
All right, so young Daniel leads you back around the
wall. He kind of stops short ofbeing completely in sight of the
other door. And outside of thedoor. You see three reds
stationed up. All of them arealert. You're kind of peering
around this corner. And they'renot talking to each other. They
(17:23):
are ready. They know their job.
Bruce (17:25):
Yeah, I'm gonna look at the during click, we have an
ability, you know any of them.
Tanner (17:30):
I mean, not personally, I've heard stories. They're not
main crew with Zeke. But likethey're totally in on this. And
they're they stick togetherthrough pretty much all
assignments. So I know they'rekind of badass.
Bruce (17:47):
You know the names?
Tanner (17:50):
Yeah, that one is and he goes from left to right. Pit
Artemis and Gaius,
Bruce (18:01):
Tim Artemis. And guys, as I was you said, it is okay.
Yeah.
Will (18:09):
Oh, well. Is there anybody else around that? We can hear?
See?
Tanner (18:17):
Hang on one sec. There we go. Now, as you look around
there is there's no one elsejust these three.
Will (18:24):
We have the chance we can probably do this art. I don't
know Archie. Every time we tryto talk our way through things
tends to go poorly. But we dohave these cloaks on you our red
cloak at this point.
Bruce (18:40):
I might have you to stay back here and have trouble
starts. Just come in swinging.
Fraser (18:49):
I've got your back and I hold my hands up and they're
glowing purple.
Will (18:53):
We need a code word.
Bruce (18:55):
You'll know. Because you'll see me cleave somebody in
twine.
Will (19:01):
Maybe alcohol,
Bruce (19:03):
right? Fuck it. We'll use alcohol again.
Will (19:06):
Okay, sounds good. Oh, cool. That's our that's our code
word for beat people up.
Fraser (19:13):
That's my code word for let's have a damn good time.
Will (19:19):
We can do both at the same time.
Fraser (19:22):
Let's do it.
Tanner (19:23):
You guys are fucked up.
All right. So what's the plan?
Bruce (19:26):
You knew? Alright, so that's what I'm gonna do. I am
just going to approach them andact like I've been sent to kill
the guard Catherine. Okay. How'sthat play? I haven't. And I have
an axe to do so.
Tanner (19:38):
All right. You start your approach. They noticed your
confidence. Yep. They noticedyou immediately. All remained
stoic. The two on the right,Artemis and Gaius look at each
other. Look back over to you.
Pitt does remove eye contact.
Bruce (19:57):
The opera ln x is like just kind of sitting on his
shoulder
Tanner (20:03):
Okay
Will (20:04):
before we go further I am preparing my crossbow to fire a
shot
Tanner (20:09):
okay cool no guidance or any I guess guidance
Will (20:13):
on him before he leaves yeah that's true you get a
guidance Archie thank you the
Tanner (20:18):
man nothing if not benevolent
Will (20:21):
what what is Marquardt doing real quick he's preparing
Fraser (20:29):
this kind of sanding with his hands you know sort of
behind his back so they can'treally be seen all that well but
they're you they're obviouslyglowing a bit purple and ready
to ready to pounce so are youready to do some stuff
Bruce (20:40):
we can call it we'll call it just to give you like a meta
explanation of that if you havesomething you would like to do,
but you don't want to do itright now you can prepare an
action based upon some sort ofcondition so like you like with
the guy with the red cloak, Iprepared an action to bonk him
on his head with my axe if hestarted spitting out spell
words. But yeah, it's like youcan only prepare your turns
(21:05):
worth of an action basically. Soyou couldn't be like are
prepared to attack each one andlike that's not you can't do
that. So Joe just to give you anexplanation what like what what
meaning what we're doing so youunderstand the rules side of it
a little later.
Tanner (21:18):
So so I'm imagining at this point since it is purple
energy you're preparing eldritchblast
Fraser (21:25):
and elders blast of course cool
Bruce (21:27):
the only spell ever to be used as a spell
Tanner (21:30):
the best fill in the in the whole fucking game. It
really is. Okay for warlocks. Nofor anybody. It's a it's it's
not Opie but it's perfect. Ilove this,
Bruce (21:41):
but it is it is it is the best cantrip in the game. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. 100% BB Chantry?
Will (21:46):
Yes.
Tanner (21:47):
I would say yeah. And that makes it the best spell in
the game, even though it's notthere
Bruce (21:51):
because it gets it over and over with Warlocks it gets
stronger, which means that itcan get anyway.
Tanner (21:57):
All right, okay. You walk up to these guys. full
confidence. You have the Abra lnx brace against your shoulder as
you're walking up. The first guyat Pitt, he does look over to
you. And he raises his eyebrowsthat you approach doesn't say
anything.
Bruce (22:18):
Do any of them address me?
Tanner (22:20):
Now? They're all just looking at you. Okay.
Bruce (22:24):
I'm just gonna walk up to them like, like, you know,
within personal reach becauseI'm their friend.
Tanner (22:29):
As you get into about 10 feet. Pit does raise his hand
and stopping motion and he says,What's your business?
Bruce (22:39):
Oh, you don't tell pit?
No. Gonna use the Abilene axe tochop his head off. Execution
orders?
Tanner (22:46):
He looks at Artemis and Gaius they shake Artemis guys.
Did you hear? They all look atyou. Go ahead and roll this
action
Bruce (22:56):
target event that should be named.
Will (22:58):
He knows all their days.
Come on. Really good. It's veryprepared.
Tanner (23:03):
Yeah, right. Yeah, it's prepared by All right, cool, and
you have guidance as well.
Bruce (23:10):
This D four I believe so.
Yep. 16 total.
Will (23:19):
Bro, bro. Shitty.
Bruce (23:22):
The odds of them all believing me are slim to none.
So there's gonna be probablyokay.
Tanner (23:29):
Artemis, Artemis and Gaius look at each other and
nod. Pitts eyes narrow. Iusually sent word we were told
that no one was going to die byour hands.
Bruce (23:47):
Don't hear the commotion earlier. Once your church guards
broke out, a couple of them
Tanner (23:50):
are dead. Those idiots.
They would have knocked themout, knocking somebody out with
fire as possible. If theydecided to attack again after
there was a more or lessfriendly into the first
altercation and that's on them.
None of our consciences will besolid.
Bruce (24:07):
I fully agree. Problem is he's worse about 10 of them.
Tanner (24:13):
That's true, but he's locked up.
Bruce (24:15):
Never seen a lot pick before.
Tanner (24:18):
Have I seen a lockpick before? Yes. I've seen a lot to
pick before he doesn't have anyon him.
Bruce (24:22):
I heard him somewhere places you check everywhere up
his bomb.
Tanner (24:25):
Yes.
Bruce (24:27):
Okay, good. We're just gonna get an only one gonna be
there. All right. Well, so he'sproblem. I went by the armory.
gentleman told me take this.
Come here. That's why theOberlin axe wants me to execute
him so much. Let's go back tojump to go to Zeke, that we're
not excusing the guy.
Tanner (24:48):
Yes. All right. Well, Grayson has no charge here. If
he told you to do somethingthat's I doubt that comes from
Zeke. Zeke will have to tell mehimself.
Bruce (24:59):
All right. Let's go get him. Okay. And we turn around
and walk away. Okay. Oh,
Will (25:07):
oh, really? I was about to say this. We're about to go look
at Margie. Margie. You're aboutto find out why I am the face if
I lied.
Bruce (25:19):
Right? Well, yeah, I'm gonna go back to the place where
Tanner (25:26):
we're the rest of us are your basic back around the
corner. You get back over there.
Bruce (25:31):
I'm gonna nudge six. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna say go ask
where the guy was supposed tokill the guard captain
Will (25:39):
understood the same same password just in case things go
sour right
Bruce (25:44):
names to use that when you reference me. It's
relatively simple enough thatit's believable that somebody
could be named that
Will (25:53):
under the HA take your red cloak.
Bruce (25:57):
Now I want you to go and say I wish they were supposed to
be you're supposed to meet himand help deal with his guard
captain. Okay, using numbersnumbers to convince them. He's
gonna pitch he's gonna tell youto piss off and then I'm gonna
send another one of us and I'mgonna keep doing it until you
guys. Okay, enough of us comelooking for.
Will (26:17):
Understood. Let's do let's do this.
Bruce (26:22):
All right. Story. The only way I'm going to convince
him is if numbers show up.
Will (26:27):
Okay, cool. Walk a walk around the corner. I guess from
where he just disappeared.
Bruce (26:32):
Remember multiple multiple people telling the same
story is generally how a storybecomes convincing.
Will (26:39):
Okay, cool. Yeah, I woke up to Okay.
Tanner (26:42):
Basically the same thing as your approach close. Paid
raises an arm. doesn't sayanything to him.
Will (26:50):
I'm looking for Thea if he's supposed to be killing the
guards. Captain. Theo. Theo.
Tanner (26:59):
Yeah. Okay. Not happening.
Will (27:05):
Zeke sent me himself. I'm not sure why I'm here. I was
what I was set to No. Getnotification for Zeke, so that
he could tell him that Theo didthe job that was asked of him.
Tanner (27:18):
Okay, go ahead and roll deception. Straight. No
advantage.
Will (27:27):
Oh, I did pretty good at minus 170. We keep going up one.
Bruce (27:32):
I feel like the other two are convinced now though. So are
we rolling against them tostill?
Tanner (27:36):
You know what? You're not. Okay. One roll. What you're
up
Will (27:43):
17 Total at minus one.
Tanner (27:45):
Okay. Once again, pit looks at you. gotta hear from
Zeke. This guy's too importantto knock off and we weren't
supposed to kill anybody.
Will (27:55):
Where did where did Theo go? I'll get him. I'll grab Zeke
too.
Tanner (28:00):
Yeah, you bring zip download to you and you don't
know that guy. Don't know you.
Will (28:06):
Understood. Okay.
Fraser (28:09):
So at this point, I come from walking around the corner
from behind. Okay. And I just Ishout down the quarter. Jason.
Jason. Have you found Theo? Hashe done the job?
Will (28:20):
No, I I don't think so. I haven't found deal yet. And
these guys haven't let him doit. They need to hear from Zeke
specifically.
Fraser (28:28):
Okay. Well, I continue to approach and just walk up and
say Well, where is he? Zeke senthim here to do a very specific
job and we have to make surethat it's done.
Will (28:38):
I? I'm not sure. Do you know what to do with
Fraser (28:42):
your name? pit pit right pit? Yeah. Have you seen him?
Has he been here? Yeah. And
Tanner (28:54):
I don't have to tell you shit.
Fraser (28:55):
What do you mean you you definitely need to tell me these
things.
Tanner (28:59):
I'm sorry. You need to learn your place. My oh my
Will (29:03):
pace.
Fraser (29:04):
My place. At this point.
I get up in his face and backhim against the wall that he's
standing in front of and get upto his nose. He
Tanner (29:11):
doesn't move an inch
Fraser (29:14):
by my place back down my place back down. You have lost
your mind, son.
Tanner (29:22):
He shoves you. Go ahead and give me a strength contest.
So what you're going to berolling as athletics.
Bruce (29:32):
I hear all this going on.
Fraser (29:36):
It's a 12 plus one.
Tanner (29:37):
He shoves you back so hard. You you fall down. Stay
down. Get the fuck out of herebring Zeke. And at this point,
you can see Artemis and guyskind of nudging each other. And
Artemis looks at Pitt and saysdude, I mean like, Hey, why do
we care?
Will (29:57):
Wait a second. Wait a second. That's that's my new
friend.
Tanner (30:04):
Yeah, it's fine.
Will (30:08):
Ah, in the words of in the words of my dearest friend of
the world, Archie alcohol I castto spare the dying or I guess
told the dead on his ass. Okay,I grabbed him recast told the
dead and what else do I do? I'mZeke motherfucker
Tanner (30:30):
Okay, everyone go ahead and roll initiative what's gonna
happen is because things kind ofchanged up and you guys did some
more actions you particularsurprises won't work except for
sixes who will get something offto start off with everyone will
just go in their typical orderfor everything else
Fraser (30:50):
14
Tanner (30:51):
Very nice.
Will (30:52):
That escalated quick I said I did say alcohol for
Archie to be on the moveArchie's but he wouldn't get a
surprise rail when I did that
Tanner (31:03):
I write right
Bruce (31:04):
around the corner and be like why are you doing
Tanner (31:06):
Marsh Don't fucking Yeah, just keep on with the
story. You
Bruce (31:09):
keep telling a lie. You don't ever tell the truth when
you start telling a lie.
Tanner (31:13):
You got you will be able to get up there in one turn.
What is ISO? 14 four MorbarkYeah, okay. Was everyone else
got
Bruce (31:24):
813
Tanner (31:29):
First up in the order six, you get your spare the
dime. What does that do? What doI need?
Will (31:36):
He needs to roll a DC 13 saving throw wisdom.
Tanner (31:42):
And this is pit you're attacking? Yeah, he passes.
Will (31:47):
Okay, so he doesn't take shit. Okay.
Tanner (31:51):
Yeah, as you as you unleash this spell on him, he
brings his hands up and shrugsyou off. Since its touch, and he
squares up against you. His faceis Placid, he is ready for the
shit. All right, we'll move onto top of the order which is
Mark bark. You've just beenknocked down. So you are prone.
(32:14):
What that means is you'll haveto use all your movement to
stand up, but you're right nextto them. So you could still do a
melee range attack.
Will (32:20):
I think it's half human instead of and.
Tanner (32:23):
Yes, you're right. Thank you, but it's okay. Yep. So you
have to
Will (32:27):
move 15 feet back if you need to. If it is,
Tanner (32:31):
you wouldn't take necessarily an opportunity to
take because these are not meleeattackers.
Bruce (32:35):
I don't think you take opportunity to text for standing
up and this addition anyway.
Tanner (32:40):
Now I'm
Fraser (32:43):
motherfuck motherfucker I'll show you to push me and I
stand up and I grabbed the greatsword out of the hilt on my side
as it glows purple and I swingat him.
Tanner (32:51):
Okay, cool. Go ahead and roll to hit
Fraser (32:57):
it's a got a camera eight on dice. Okay, plus plus.
What is that? What do I plustwo?
Tanner (33:06):
I should say anything, but it's probably just
proficiency because you're notadding your charisma to it yet.
Fraser (33:10):
Okay. Yeah. So plus two then okay, cool. Great.
Tanner (33:15):
You go to strike at him.
And just because of yourmovement and getting up, he is
ready for and has enough time tosidestep out of the way and you
miss him. I don't believe thisproximity. there's anything else
that you can do for bonusaction. So I think that's the
end of your
Fraser (33:35):
turn. Yeah, that's probably it there.
Tanner (33:37):
Okay. All right. We will now move on to the next person
around. Why D? Who? You guysleft him back around the corner.
He's peering around and hestarts kind of slowly
approaching looking between thetwo groups. Not sure what to do.
I'm with him. Oh, that's right.
You are you are with him. Youdidn't run away from him. So
(33:59):
yeah, he's he's looking betweenyou and the other guys and he
doesn't make a move. He's veryweird situation. Then we'll move
on to Archie. All right.
Will (34:13):
Oh, they roll bad for this year. Thank God.
Bruce (34:15):
So how long has this been like a couple of minutes for
those conversations? Yeah. I'mgonna look at why D and I was
gonna say, this is what we'regonna do. Going around a corner
together, and I'm gonna yell athim and yell at the Martini
compadres over there. We'regonna start we're gonna make
them think that I'm acting asread quick. Follow me. Okay.
Tanner (34:38):
I'm trying to fast advantage 10 probably bad.
Okay, all right. He nods.
Bruce (34:56):
Okay. All right. Yeah, around the corner. Okay, and I
feigned surprise as I see thesetwo green clerks attacking red
clerks
Tanner (35:08):
hit instantly notice you look it up. looks up at you. He
says. Yeah, this semester you'relooking for a little bit of
infighting. Pretty fucking dumbbud.
Bruce (35:20):
Well, fuck are you talking about?
Tanner (35:21):
The fuck are you talking about?
Bruce (35:24):
I don't know. I don't know why these two green cloaks
are attacking you. I know he'snot right.
Tanner (35:28):
Then give him the fuck off. They said they're with you.
Bruce (35:31):
They're not with me. Like you know, whatever. You to knock
your shit off, right? I'mapproaching. Just fucking like
playing anger. How you fuckyThank you. Ah, attacking red
cloaks. Once you know how thisworks. I just keep approaching
kind of aggressively towards thetowards I'm margin.
Unknown (35:54):
Six. You I know you Jason right? What are you doing,
bro? If you want to die you gotto fucking Death Wish you know
who these are? No, no. He hit myfriends.
Will (36:06):
I didn't like it. I pushed him.
Unknown (36:08):
He started it. Go Yeah, yeah. Okay, but Well, we were
sent here by Zeke. What are wesupposed to do? Well, at this
point, they've been you know,rules are off.
Tanner (36:22):
We kick your ass here and now we're gonna get the fuck
up back the fuck up. And we cando this with some diplomacy
Will (36:31):
you know what?
I agree.
Unknown (36:33):
I back up a little bit.
He looks over at you Mr. Burke.
We came in here complete. Idon't care. Fuck you.
Fraser (36:43):
We came in here. Ready to be?
Bruce (36:47):
Radek at a screencloud
Fraser (36:49):
and that'll take that shit.
Bruce (36:51):
Okay, why within melee range a pit yet? Approaching
this entire time?
Tanner (36:56):
Yeah, I mean, you can get there you are stacked behind
the other two. Right? So youkind of got the sandwich that
and the other three. Okay, soyeah, you could probably you
could squeeze into the placewhere six was in order to
Bruce (37:10):
be next to mark barred right? Yep. I'm gonna use that
opportunity to get there and I'mgoing to kind of turn towards
Mark Mark and I'm going to justbe like,
Unknown (37:17):
I and I point a pit is called fucking kill you if you
make him that's not what wewant.
Fraser (37:30):
I mean, I don't want that, obviously.
Unknown (37:32):
But he, why are you here? Because you're not with
me. I'm just gonna leave.
Fraser (37:44):
And I turn and walk off back in the direction I
originally came. Alright,
Bruce (37:48):
so how about we all just chill out? I'll go get some
alcohol.
Tanner (37:56):
Relax.
Will (37:57):
Hey, does that count now?
Tanner (37:59):
We've kind of we're gonna keep same order in combat,
but that's fine. That's fine.
What what is what is happeningat this point is I will give the
two of you a surprise round MarkMark, you've gone far enough
outside where you wouldn't beable to get in on this
particular attack. But it hasseemed to calm them down enough
to where they are potentiallygoing to be surprised by this.
Will (38:24):
So it's Bruce's turn still technically,
Tanner (38:28):
you can attack same time. I will allow that because
six year next so Okay,
Bruce (38:35):
cool. Yeah, what? Wait,
Fraser (38:37):
I'm gonna attack at the same time. Archie.
Will (38:39):
It's okay. Yeah, we're using the same Turner order that
we had so you feigned walkingoff? Angry? Yeah. And now you
can turn around to hit him witha glass on your next turn or
whatever. But yeah, so So I didnot. I did knock a crossbow
arrow. So I have that ready. SoI'll pull that up. Ready to go
whatever and fire at the sametime. Archie swings livery does
(39:01):
Okay. All right, who you guyshit pit.
Bruce (39:04):
I'm aiming straight for pit.
Tanner (39:06):
Okay, both of you roll your attacks tell me what you
get.
Bruce (39:11):
Where was windy? Because I definitely was paying
attention to what he was doing.
I don't trust him. He's,
Tanner (39:15):
he's right behind you.
Okay,
Bruce (39:16):
I don't trust him motherfucker. Still. So
Will (39:20):
14 plus two.
Tanner (39:22):
Okay. 14 plus two is 16 grez as you and what do you get
Archie? I got 19 Okay, as youboth go to make an attack on
him, it raises his hand and thisblue energy flashes up as both
of your attacks come acrossinstantly deflects the bolt that
(39:46):
comes towards him. However, witha 19
Bruce (39:51):
with an 18 cleaver It was fucking shield that hits
Tanner (39:54):
through his shield. Yep.
So you you cut through. Hisshield is not strong. enough to
stave off this particular attackand I rage okay cool
Bruce (40:05):
with my mouth turning into the mall of whatever the
hell I think it's like a beastmall or whatever Yeah, I think
we said wolf yeah some it lookskind of is where
Tanner (40:13):
we'll be in slightly can lycanthropic
Will (40:16):
lycanthropic y'all What's up call me
Bruce (40:26):
that will Darrow I'll do 11 damage. And I'm going to say
through my toothy, Wolfie grin.
Zeke's not killing me becauseyou don't want to fucking
listen. Oh,
Tanner (40:42):
oh, okay. All right.
Artemis and Gaius, look overthis shit that's happening. And
like, they they nudge each otherand are like look, and they look
back over at Pitt. Who you know,you're right as this axe cuts
across him and slices throughhis red robes across his chest,
and the blood starts coming out.
(41:06):
Just darkening his robes. Helooks up at you and this I mean
you can see the fire in his eyesand he spits on the floor and
says never seen a student needto use an axe.
Bruce (41:21):
And I just because I'm stronger than you
Tanner (41:24):
i When you say that you you hear him whisper a spell and
his body starts to shift andblur and you can see him sort of
wavering about it messes withyour eyes as it seems to be some
sort of strange imagery going onwhat was a one that is minimize
(41:52):
everything, dingus? Okay, and ashe does that, he will dash off
to the corner about 20 feet awayto get out of your immediate
range
Bruce (42:07):
okay
Will (42:08):
it's an opportunity to tech Yep, no it's not
Tanner (42:12):
No Yeah, it is.
Bruce (42:12):
No it is Oh, I thought he used to spell to do it so I
didn't think he No
Tanner (42:15):
no he used he used to spell but now he is running but
only what I mean six won't beable to do it. He has a crossbow
ready and that doesn't Yeah,
Bruce (42:25):
all right. I'm gonna hold on I gotta I gotta flip a coin
because I'm stuck between twodecisions and I don't know what
I should do. I'm not sure whatOkay, okay. All right. I level
the axe at him and I say I justhold it up to him and I say
you're going to stay in yourfucking corner and let me do
what I came here to do
Tanner (42:47):
buck you and that is the enemy's turn. Artemis will now
go and Artemis is like a littlefreaked out situation but he but
he steals himself prettyquickly. He will arc his arm
around and right where Archieand six are standing this slick
(43:13):
grease will begin to clear andcover the ground 10 foot square
starting at you and then twosquares behind it one where why
D is I need both of you to giveme a dexterity saving throw that
(43:33):
me yes six and arching. I needthree three okay
Bruce (43:40):
14 Remember I get advantage because I can see is
Tanner (43:45):
nice. Okay, so you already do that?
Bruce (43:49):
Yes 14
Tanner (43:52):
Six. As this grease begins to form on the floor, you
take a step back and lose yourfooting and fall prone. Archie,
you can feel the slicknessbuilding up on your boots, but
your you know grime, you're ableto keep your stance in it and
you remain standing. And thisguy will help stand strong in
(44:17):
front of the door and in histurn, and we'll move on to Gaius
who will then hold his hands outinitiative has to be the last
one that I gotta look up
Bruce (44:34):
the last bell
Tanner (44:38):
okay. He will touch his thumbs together and hold his
hands out with his fingersspread and a thin sheet of flame
shoots forth out at you. I needeveryone that is just going to
be the three of you mark barkyou've gotten far enough out of
the vicinity. So I need sixArchie and I'm going to make one
(45:00):
For yd to see if you save sodexterity saving throw please
you gotta be a 1319 14
Will (45:11):
again
Tanner (45:13):
nice okay okay so both of you saved young Daniel did
not the grease underneath yourfeet looks killing Daniel
ignites and flames raise up fromit young Daniel begins to fry
(45:36):
and he screams briefly until heis choked of life and is just a
fried chicken on the floor
Bruce (45:48):
so he just killed him instantly basically
Tanner (45:51):
yep it did enough damage to kill him instantly
Fraser (45:54):
yes it did that student these guys did it
Tanner (45:56):
okay the other two of you you do take six
damage
Bruce (46:02):
all right and oh not kill anybody you just roasted a
fucking green cloak
Tanner (46:11):
you seem to you seem to hit something and guys but you
can he looks at Artemis and likeGreece and then fire that was
the plan there is now fire allaround you Yeah, fire all around
you. That will end his turn hewill also stand next to Artemis
in front of the door and we willmove back to the top of the
(46:35):
order Mark bark you are withindistance to do magic spelling or
to attempt to put out fire or toyou can you can still run up and
hit in melee range. Anyone Butpit
Fraser (46:51):
I think it was anyone but
Tanner (46:53):
you can't hit pit with melee you can hit him with
spells.
Fraser (46:56):
Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. Cool. Yeah, so I'm gonna
go ahead and I've still got agrudge against old pit and I'm
gonna eldritch blast is asked tooblivion
Will (47:04):
alright him yes
Fraser (47:07):
out the fucking
Tanner (47:08):
give me that attempt. Go ahead and oh,
Fraser (47:11):
that's an 11 plus whatever it
Bruce (47:15):
is charisma modifier in that Yeah. Okay, so 60
Tanner (47:19):
Give me another role because it's a disadvantage
because this will
Fraser (47:24):
take the lower of the 2015
Tanner (47:29):
you the eldritch energy crackles between your fingertips
and you reach out ahead andflick this ancients fell forward
and it splashes against Pitt andit connects with them. Go ahead
and roll damage. Oh sure.
Fraser (47:49):
Are over off the table.
That's an eight.
Tanner (47:53):
Okay. All right. Pit is still standing. But he
definitely does not look to bein the best condition. He
hunches over a bit, puts his armacross the gash on his chest.
And his breathing is a bitlabored. But his face is still
(48:13):
stoic with a hint of anger in itready to strike out not ready to
back down. He has a job to do.
We will then move on to d moveany closer move anywhere else
Mark Mark
Fraser (48:27):
how close am I right now?
Tanner (48:29):
You are 15 feet from Artemis and Gaius you are the
better part of 40 feet fromPitt.
Fraser (48:37):
Okay, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna just more or less stay
where I am. Okay. Seems like agood range Mart.
Tanner (48:43):
All right, Archie. It is your turn.
Will (48:46):
I was gonna make a suggestion. Fraser when you're
doing that, that at 13 HP youshould probably stay in the
back. Yeah, that's
Fraser (48:54):
why I was like, Yeah, Artemis and guys don't seem
nearly as threatening as it doesright now. I have a grudge
against Pitt. But I can also hithim from here with elders class,
so I don't really want to getany closer to him. I don't know
that it matters if he's just amagic boy who can sling fire all
over the place. But
Bruce (49:13):
I tend to have a question. Yes. So I have an
advantage on perception forhearing and smelling.
Can I utilize that skill to nothave to use my eyesight to hit a
pit? Because as soon asshimmering is an eyesight issue,
(49:34):
because I see him shimmering,right so it doesn't look right.
Tanner (49:37):
I will give you this.
I'll give you this and transformyour mouth. Okay. Give me a
perception role. Based on smell.
We won't do it based on hearingyour perception or based on
smell to see if if you can makethat connection. Like there's
burning body around you. There'sother smells that are currently
very strong.
Bruce (49:57):
Gotcha. Okay. 16
Tanner (50:00):
Do you think that? This is a very interesting question.
Bruce (50:12):
If it's no, it's no, it's fine. I just I'm just I mean, I
have that.
Tanner (50:15):
Well, I mean, you have you have a utility that could be
kind of fun. I'm just trying.
Okay. Explain to me how usingsmell would help you pinpoint
someone's location when you'regoing to be swinging at him. And
then
Bruce (50:29):
well, I mean, it's the same thing is like tracking. So
like a wolf tracks you throughyour smell. That's how it knows
to find you. So I'm thinkingthat if I have advantage on it
for hearing smelling that, dueto the fact that it's a magical
nature, it helped me locatesomebody. So like, he's got this
probably. Right. So shimmering.
So he has this, I guess? Certainnot so compact area in which he
(50:50):
seems to exist in but it'sbigger, because he's shimmering.
So he's really moving. Becausewhen you say shimmering, is he
moving back and forth quickly,like a vibration? Yeah,
basically. So I would imaginethat if that's only a sight
thing, and not a hearingsmelling thing, I would be able
to narrow down the space inwhich he appears with smelling
hearing versus sight. Becausethat's not going to put, I don't
(51:12):
think the spell is going to putout any kind of sight or smell.
And if I'm wrong, I'm cool withthat, too. You don't have to
tell me you can just be like,you think you might got it, and
I'll go for it. And if I miss, Imiss out on what I
Tanner (51:23):
will, what I will give to you is, you know with it
within this animalistic naturethat you've unlocked. It is more
likely that you could findsomething using one sense if you
cut off the other sense. So youthink that if you close your
eyes, maybe you could hold yournose and and have it sort of
Bruce (51:42):
Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, I planned on doing that. So
Tanner (51:45):
if you do that, if you do that your eyes will need to
remain close in his attack willhave advantage on you. attackers
will have advantage because youwon't be able to dodge but you
can have a normal attack againsthim. I will get to your next
turn.
Bruce (52:01):
Yeah, I'll take it.
Tanner (52:03):
Okay. All right. We'll
Bruce (52:04):
certainly look at one more thing too
I'm also going to recklessattack because pocket he's
already got advantage. Okay,yeah, that gives me advantage
during my turn.
Tanner (52:21):
Oh, you fuck. Alright.
Bruce (52:24):
You want to stop? We can pull it back. If you want to
pull it back. We'll pull itback.
Tanner (52:28):
Oh, no, it's a good enough reasoning. I gave you a
way to stack it and beat me atthe game. So go ahead.
Bruce (52:35):
Okay. non-natural are actually 21 to hit.
Tanner (52:39):
Oh yeah, that'll do it.
All right.
Bruce (52:43):
Okay, so he takes 10 damage from my brain X. Okay,
with my eyes closed, so thatshould probably be like what the
fuck in and of itself, but
Tanner (52:54):
you close your eyes. And push your senses past the smell
of the force, Archie. Yeah, youpush yourself past the smell of
bacon boy. And you you swingyour boy you swing your new axe
at him and this thing. You havea sense it's it is like you're
(53:16):
felling a tree. It goes throughthe entire space where you think
he is. And it cleaves cleanthrough him. You hear splashes
on the floor, but don't see thedamage you've done because your
eyes remain closed.
Bruce (53:31):
Okay. Your body something?
Tanner (53:35):
Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, you've cut through
some things that people reallyneed.
Bruce (53:39):
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna say out loud in my life for
life.
Tanner (53:45):
Okay, all right. His Gaius and Artemis look stunned.
Bruce (53:56):
So it was the badass that's what you're telling me.
Tanner (53:59):
It speaks and this gurgle comes out. As he says
Dawn will wreck you. And then hestops breathing
Fraser (54:20):
pitch and
Unknown (54:22):
now we move on that's what I thought. Oh. So I mean, I
guess we could continuefighting. Artemis. Gaius, would
you like to continue fighting?
I'm
Tanner (54:48):
Rob persuasion advantage because you are trying to save
their lives
Bruce (54:55):
Oh, I like how I like how it's become it's become about
saving their lives now that I'vemet under their friend
Will (55:01):
that's a 13 and 11 on dice minus one is a 12.
Bruce (55:05):
That's fucking hilarious.
That means they're scared.
That's what it means.
Will (55:14):
Just lie on the dice they wrote a five, five Na,
Tanner (55:19):
Gaius, Gaius doesn't hesitate to lower his arms.
Artemis looks over at Pitts bodyand back to you and just takes a
step back and he says, I don'twant any trouble,
Bruce (55:39):
but that's that's fucked.
That's fucked. That's fucked.
Well, I didn't want to kill yourfriend. But he won't let me do
what I came here to do. Are yougoing to be in my way to go do
the same to you? I still have myeyes closed. No, no, no, this
was going to happen because nowyou've made me mad. You're gonna
(55:59):
fuck off right now. Or we're notstopping. You killed my green
cloak. He was my green cloak.
And you fucking burned him. lithim on fire. And you made him
breathe his own burning fleshbefore he died. Gaius
Tanner (56:19):
Gaius looks down at the body and looks at the burning
I'm gonna go ahead and say sixyou walk out of the fire
Bruce (56:27):
which is fucking epic looking.
Tanner (56:29):
Yeah, you do you take as you do.
Bruce (56:34):
The Firebird trigger damage.
Tanner (56:35):
Yeah. Gaius looks at the scene. He kills all
the bear and he pukes Artemissays Will my brother and I are
gone. We'll leave right now.
Unknown (56:52):
Pay I can make a suggestion. Leave leave town
very pit. I wouldn't stay here.
Tanner (57:00):
No, we're not. I'm not I don't want to carry that. That's
disgusting. I can't
Will (57:05):
I mean, I know I'll bury him. vices done. Okay.
Tanner (57:11):
He grabs guys by the collar and leads them out and
they leave the the flamesdissipate on the grease which is
pretty much burned up on thefloor. And why D is nearly
unrecognizable. Combat is over.
Fraser (57:27):
I spit that's what I thought
Bruce (57:28):
I spit on Friday and open the door. Okay. Archie Archie is
mad that he killed Why do he'snot happy that that he killed
his own like because rememberArchie is about family. And they
were supposed to be part of thesame family. And he without a
second thought was like you'renot going to do this live but
I'm going to burn thismotherfucking innocent little
(57:49):
green cloak to death right infront of you. So that actually
upset Archie because Archie isabout family.
Will (57:55):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah. Why do you did try tobetray us a little bit
Bruce (58:01):
No yen he never made an actual indication he was going
to betray he followed me when Itold him to so as far as through
empathy
Will (58:08):
to make us not attack him.
The blue thing? No, that
Bruce (58:12):
wasn't why I did that was that was this pitch shield
spells a reaction spell? Yeah,you have any
Will (58:18):
time? No, no, no, no, no.
Why he
Fraser (58:21):
was trying to attack why he
Will (58:23):
okay. He's gonna kill why even
Bruce (58:24):
though like there was he didn't trust him. He was like,
oh, there might be potentialhere and then like, just you
burn your family. Yeah, heburned your comrade to death.
But you won't kill anybody.
Yeah, okay.
Tanner (58:38):
Why? Oh,
Will (58:39):
why the
Tanner (58:39):
there's there's no, there's never going to be any
why do you why, man? No, no. Whydo you why?
Will (58:46):
Okay, why do you why I'm sad
Bruce (58:48):
or to just not feel guilty. He's just angry. Let's
make it.
Tanner (58:51):
As you spit on Pitt's body. You do notice that one of
the the tears that you turn hiscloak, you do spot a key. So you
grab it, and you use it on thedoor. You open it up and inside
our rows upon rows of wine inthe back bodies of bodies. In
(59:13):
the back, there's a figuresitting in the chair. You could
tell from here that he is talland lean, but the look that he
gives you is commanding hispresence the way he holds
himself. Even though he iswearing pretty dirty clothes at
this point as if he's been in atussle. He stands and the he
(59:38):
moves his ash blonde hair out ofhis face and you can see
partially pointed ears as hetakes a step forward. He sniffs
and he shakes his head and justlooks at you expectantly.
Bruce (59:52):
Cheers love, cavalry's here. Let's go.
Nother realm is a narrative driven Dungeons and
(00:02):
Dragons podcast. In thisepisode, Bruce Frazier Tanner
and will try to tell dumb jokesand a compelling story. The
language can get a little spicy.
But if that doesn't bother you,then here's what happened on the
last episode of Nother realm.
Tanner (00:18):
And then you will see this sort of magical shimmer
against the door.
Fraser (00:24):
And then all of a sudden, over his left shoulder
shoots almost seemingly out ofnowhere. A glowing purple great
sword.
Tanner (00:32):
With this you kind of you feel some power wrenched
from you as you give some ofyour lifeforce to try and cut
this down over the
Will (00:39):
door says it is I normal human Jason. How are you people?
Tanner (00:45):
They all drop their fine, fine scotch on the ground.
Bruce (00:50):
I believe I found one of them in the nuts.
Tanner (00:55):
The one that you haven't talked to and also haven't
punched in the nuts. He's liketrying to get your attention.
You're not gonna do anythingfunny. I swear on my name. The
name of my father. Young Daniel.
Will (01:07):
yd can you go ahead and take us to the armory?
Tanner (01:10):
You're not getting in here. You roughyeds your look.
You're too
Bruce (01:16):
old now. That's a just
Will (01:19):
a caste old person.
Tanner (01:21):
Okay, all right.
Will (01:25):
It's uh, okay, so he doesn't do it. He doesn't save
Tanner (01:30):
as you guys are searching through here. You find
three interesting things. Thethird thing that you notice is
an empty stand. That wouldperfectly fit a one. Alright,
Bruce (02:40):
check the tired up fucker.
Will (02:42):
I guess Yeah, I guess we're gonna we didn't loot him.
So I guess we loot him now aftertaking this road.
Tanner (02:49):
Yeah, you guys. You look through his possessions. You
don't find anything of intereston him. A student ID. It says
Kelsey Grammer.
Will (03:02):
Great, great work. Yep.
Fraser (03:03):
Yep, you deliver this just because I'm here as long as
you came up with that. MarkBart? Yes.
Will (03:11):
Don't you use bonds? Would you have a use for a one? Like,
what was here?
Fraser (03:16):
But I have never used the one before. I'm not sure I
would even know how
Tanner (03:22):
I mean even when you're alone. Sorry. Go ahead.
Will (03:27):
Nice masturbation nope, leave it in state and their
tender has got bad masturbationjokes.
Fraser (03:39):
I've never used the one before. I'm not sure not sure it
would be of much use to me now.
Will (03:45):
Oh, maybe we don't need the one. Question you guys. This
shield? Does anybody else? Youguys don't use shields to you?
Fraser (03:56):
No, I have no use for shield either.
Will (03:59):
Archie Do you mind if I use this shield?
Bruce (04:02):
No, I've had it. Okay,
Will (04:04):
I'm gonna investigate the shield and you guys can do here
this is I don't know what to dowith this. This is a good X ray.
I guess it would probably fitsomebody with a lot of strength.
Archie. I'm going to do a Arcanarole on the shield Tanner.
Tanner (04:22):
Okay, give me an Arcana role. Just keep in mind that our
cannon is going to tell youwhether or not it's magical.
Maybe a little bit about it butwon't do the same thing that
identification would
Will (04:30):
now going to see if I have identification.
Tanner (04:33):
The problem is you do?
Wait.
Will (04:40):
Mark, Bart. Can you tell me anything about this shield?
With Baby? The identificationspill?
Tanner (04:50):
That's not one that Warlocks get.
Fraser (04:54):
Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of spill.
Will (04:58):
Okay, I'm just going And also, if I know what it is five
plus 25277
Tanner (05:10):
There is an aura coming off of it. You can't tell what
it does.
Will (05:14):
It's better than my shield though, right?
Tanner (05:17):
I mean, it would act as a shield equally.
Will (05:21):
But I can't attune to it.
I know well, you
Tanner (05:23):
can attune to it. You can 100% attune to anything, but
you just don't know what itdoes,
Bruce (05:28):
essentially means if it's cursed, you're fucked. Yeah,
basically.
Will (05:32):
Okay. See if this fit, this won't fit in the bag. Okay,
we'll just say I'm gonna takethis along with me. What's it
just use it for now.
Bruce (05:41):
I'm gonna go approach the axe. And look it up and down.
Yeah.
Tanner (05:45):
So Archie, you're taking a look at this axe. The head I
mean, it is old. It is old old.
It's withstood some test oftime. It looks like something
that's been handed down throughgenerations that just wouldn't
be used by an affluent family atthis point. Again, it is it is a
felling axe. But the hedges thehead is a little bit larger than
(06:08):
a standard felling axe. And youcan see the divots and stuff
from it's where but the blade ofit is incredibly sharp and
honed.
Bruce (06:19):
Alright, is it up on a wall like hanging? Like, you
know? Yeah, it is okay, I'mgonna on a plaque. I'm gonna
snatch it off the plaque andtest its weight. See if it's
okay balanced and usable forcombat?
Tanner (06:34):
Yep, you take it off the wall. It is balanced almost
perfectly. The half of thisthing fits so nicely in your
hands. You think you couldactually work better with it
than your current X? The onlyproblem that you might have with
it is that it doesn't have awolf on it anywhere. There. It
(06:54):
is honed and so well made. Thatyou know it would be plus one.
Bruce (07:02):
I see. Okay.
Tanner (07:04):
So this is a plus one great X. Whoa. But as you as you
swing it around. I mean, youjust notice how how well it cuts
through the air. It is. It isexquisite. And as you look at
the handle, right between whereboth of your hands are there is
(07:29):
an engraving in there. And itdoes read Abra lane on the haft.
Wait a second. Oh, laundry Ireally never
Will (07:38):
learned. I was thinking for some reason. Oliver Hadley,
okay. Oh, no. Yeah, I wasthinking I was thinking that
would be his axe or
Tanner (07:45):
some fucking wild. Cool.
So that is everything you see inhere. The guy that you got young
Daniel, he are young David.
Shit.
Will (08:00):
Young David. Andy does Daniel. Friday. I think we said
David,
Tanner (08:04):
why do you turn to you guys. You're welcome. Thank you.
Right, so I appreciate you notkilling that dude. If you'd like
we can go check out the lockedup man. Guard Captain. Hey, it
Bruce (08:26):
seems like a good idea.
I'm gonna see if he's well ironenemy is the enemy. We'll leave
them there. Who's an ally? We'lltake them with. We can use them
or use them.
Tanner (08:37):
He seems pretty dope. If like, he didn't hate us for what
we did.
Bruce (08:44):
Oh, you've kind of taken over and say that you're going
to take his hometown over andlock him in a basement and, you
know, some?
Tanner (08:51):
He's locked in the wine cellar though. So I mean, if you
gotta be locked up somewhere.
Bruce (08:55):
Well hope he hope he's not drunk.
Will (08:58):
If he's, if he's that dope, how did he get captured by
you guys? I mean, no offense,but we've just been pretty easy.
Tanner (09:08):
I mean, Zeke and his main crew. Different level, even
though they're all likedifferent colors. Different
level.
Will (09:15):
Got it. So, Zeke,
Tanner (09:19):
not good guy. That no Zeke's a good guy, but like is
his badass.
Bruce (09:24):
So you're saying we're probably going to have to kill
him.
Tanner (09:28):
Man, I'd prefer you didn't have to kill anybody
because then it's gonna be on myconscience that you know I kind
of lead you around. And like Idon't know if I can live with
that.
Bruce (09:36):
To be fair, we did say we'll kill you if you didn't, so
it's not really your fault.
Tanner (09:40):
I feel completely fine about it. Now. Let's go
(10:15):
And now we pulled back from thecurrent scene to get a view of
things happening elsewhere inthe universe.
The light grows closer. Heclimbs, the light grows closer.
He climbs, the light growscloser. He climbs, the light
grows closer. He climbs thelight grows closer. He climbs
(10:39):
the light grows closer.
He climbsa new sound brakes are go mal
caught from his ascent. A faintbeat. He shakes his head and
brings a pale hand to his tiredeyes.
How long have I been climbing?
Argo asks his gray surroundings.
Though he has climbed for solong nothing has changed about
(11:04):
this stairwell gray stone stairsand gray stone walls above and
below but this this is new.
It's not a part of the voicethat has long since abandoned
him. Argo ponders for a moment aheart he says as he places his
(11:28):
hand on his chest. His ownheartbeat is faint. Whereas my
mind been all this time. Thelight and now this
heartbeat it isthis place i i should not be
here. And those words. Show hereon best North River. Shoe
(11:50):
healing best drum. I am nowCorey Chu. He'll invest number
three VA fully Wilk Barun drum,I am now crave what what do they
mean? For a moment? Argo thinksof going back down the gray
stone stairs to meet death.
(12:13):
Maybe they would accept anapology. And maybe it would be
better to sink beneath thedrift. But an old thought
revealed itself. Whatinformation could this tower
hold? If it has been thisdifficult to get this far, some
unimaginable wonder must rest atthe top knowledge, his sole
(12:37):
purpose, one that he would losehis sense of self for it might
come to that he worried. Onestep and then another and then
another after that. Each stepI'll recount our findings. Maybe
then I won't lose myself again.
(13:01):
Right. Once more, one step andthen another.
One, the beating of a heart.
The heart and soul can beseparated. too. The pieces of a
soul can be made whole again.
Sorry. A soul can carry theoutlines of memories.
(13:31):
For a soulcan be contained in a vessel and
not decay. Five, a new mind isfragile. It can break.
Six sacrifices are necessary. Hepauses
(13:54):
as his eyes well with tears. Heshakes his head and continues to
seven. The soul must be capturedbefore it departs. Aid. A soul
cannot pilot a body of onlymagic and metal. Nine 1862 loose
(14:21):
wires start fires 1860 Oh. AsArgo attempts to connect with
the next step. He's caught offguard as he realizes there are
no more steps. He raises hishand and shields his eyes from
the light pouring in through theCrystaline windows that
(14:42):
surrounds him. He blinks and hisvision focuses on the only
object in the circular room.
There in the center. A smallgilded cage sits atop an ornate
alabaster pedestal. As hissenses returned he He realizes
how loud the beating has become.
(15:04):
With each thump, he takes a stepcloser to the cage. Inside he
sees a pulsating black heart. Hereaches out his hand to a small
latch on the cage turns it thenpulls open the door. From
outside the tower a screamresonates through the drift the
(15:29):
waves above the afterlife gostill. Shadows begin to climb
the exterior walls rushing tothe top with godly haste
Will (15:48):
Wow, how am I supposed to follow
that? Hello, dear listener, thisis will aka the voice of six.

(16:34):
because that cut scene was fartoo powerful
Tanner (17:00):
All right, so young Daniel leads you back around the
wall. He kind of stops short ofbeing completely in sight of the
other door. And outside of thedoor. You see three reds
stationed up. All of them arealert. You're kind of peering
around this corner. And they'renot talking to each other. They
(17:23):
are ready. They know their job.
Bruce (17:25):
Yeah, I'm gonna look at the during click, we have an
ability, you know any of them.
Tanner (17:30):
I mean, not personally, I've heard stories. They're not
main crew with Zeke. But likethey're totally in on this. And
they're they stick togetherthrough pretty much all
assignments. So I know they'rekind of badass.
Bruce (17:47):
You know the names?
Tanner (17:50):
Yeah, that one is and he goes from left to right. Pit
Artemis and Gaius,
Bruce (18:01):
Tim Artemis. And guys, as I was you said, it is okay.
Yeah.
Will (18:09):
Oh, well. Is there anybody else around that? We can hear?
See?
Tanner (18:17):
Hang on one sec. There we go. Now, as you look around
there is there's no one elsejust these three.
Will (18:24):
We have the chance we can probably do this art. I don't
know Archie. Every time we tryto talk our way through things
tends to go poorly. But we dohave these cloaks on you our red
cloak at this point.
Bruce (18:40):
I might have you to stay back here and have trouble
starts. Just come in swinging.
Fraser (18:49):
I've got your back and I hold my hands up and they're
glowing purple.
Will (18:53):
We need a code word.
Bruce (18:55):
You'll know. Because you'll see me cleave somebody in
twine.
Will (19:01):
Maybe alcohol,
Bruce (19:03):
right? Fuck it. We'll use alcohol again.
Will (19:06):
Okay, sounds good. Oh, cool. That's our that's our code
word for beat people up.
Fraser (19:13):
That's my code word for let's have a damn good time.
Will (19:19):
We can do both at the same time.
Fraser (19:22):
Let's do it.
Tanner (19:23):
You guys are fucked up.
All right. So what's the plan?
Bruce (19:26):
You knew? Alright, so that's what I'm gonna do. I am
just going to approach them andact like I've been sent to kill
the guard Catherine. Okay. How'sthat play? I haven't. And I have
an axe to do so.
Tanner (19:38):
All right. You start your approach. They noticed your
confidence. Yep. They noticedyou immediately. All remained
stoic. The two on the right,Artemis and Gaius look at each
other. Look back over to you.
Pitt does remove eye contact.
Bruce (19:57):
The opera ln x is like just kind of sitting on his
shoulder
Tanner (20:03):
Okay
Will (20:04):
before we go further I am preparing my crossbow to fire a
shot
Tanner (20:09):
okay cool no guidance or any I guess guidance
Will (20:13):
on him before he leaves yeah that's true you get a
guidance Archie thank you the
Tanner (20:18):
man nothing if not benevolent
Will (20:21):
what what is Marquardt doing real quick he's preparing
Fraser (20:29):
this kind of sanding with his hands you know sort of
behind his back so they can'treally be seen all that well but
they're you they're obviouslyglowing a bit purple and ready
to ready to pounce so are youready to do some stuff
Bruce (20:40):
we can call it we'll call it just to give you like a meta
explanation of that if you havesomething you would like to do,
but you don't want to do itright now you can prepare an
action based upon some sort ofcondition so like you like with
the guy with the red cloak, Iprepared an action to bonk him
on his head with my axe if hestarted spitting out spell
words. But yeah, it's like youcan only prepare your turns
(21:05):
worth of an action basically. Soyou couldn't be like are
prepared to attack each one andlike that's not you can't do
that. So Joe just to give you anexplanation what like what what
meaning what we're doing so youunderstand the rules side of it
a little later.
Tanner (21:18):
So so I'm imagining at this point since it is purple
energy you're preparing eldritchblast
Fraser (21:25):
and elders blast of course cool
Bruce (21:27):
the only spell ever to be used as a spell
Tanner (21:30):
the best fill in the in the whole fucking game. It
really is. Okay for warlocks. Nofor anybody. It's a it's it's
not Opie but it's perfect. Ilove this,
Bruce (21:41):
but it is it is it is the best cantrip in the game. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. 100% BB Chantry?
Will (21:46):
Yes.
Tanner (21:47):
I would say yeah. And that makes it the best spell in
the game, even though it's notthere
Bruce (21:51):
because it gets it over and over with Warlocks it gets
stronger, which means that itcan get anyway.
Tanner (21:57):
All right, okay. You walk up to these guys. full
confidence. You have the Abra lnx brace against your shoulder as
you're walking up. The first guyat Pitt, he does look over to
you. And he raises his eyebrowsthat you approach doesn't say
anything.
Bruce (22:18):
Do any of them address me?
Tanner (22:20):
Now? They're all just looking at you. Okay.
Bruce (22:24):
I'm just gonna walk up to them like, like, you know,
within personal reach becauseI'm their friend.
Tanner (22:29):
As you get into about 10 feet. Pit does raise his hand
and stopping motion and he says,What's your business?
Bruce (22:39):
Oh, you don't tell pit?
No. Gonna use the Abilene axe tochop his head off. Execution
orders?
Tanner (22:46):
He looks at Artemis and Gaius they shake Artemis guys.
Did you hear? They all look atyou. Go ahead and roll this
action
Bruce (22:56):
target event that should be named.
Will (22:58):
He knows all their days.
Come on. Really good. It's veryprepared.
Tanner (23:03):
Yeah, right. Yeah, it's prepared by All right, cool, and
you have guidance as well.
Bruce (23:10):
This D four I believe so.
Yep. 16 total.
Will (23:19):
Bro, bro. Shitty.
Bruce (23:22):
The odds of them all believing me are slim to none.
So there's gonna be probablyokay.
Tanner (23:29):
Artemis, Artemis and Gaius look at each other and
nod. Pitts eyes narrow. Iusually sent word we were told
that no one was going to die byour hands.
Bruce (23:47):
Don't hear the commotion earlier. Once your church guards
broke out, a couple of them
Tanner (23:50):
are dead. Those idiots.
They would have knocked themout, knocking somebody out with
fire as possible. If theydecided to attack again after
there was a more or lessfriendly into the first
altercation and that's on them.
None of our consciences will besolid.
Bruce (24:07):
I fully agree. Problem is he's worse about 10 of them.
Tanner (24:13):
That's true, but he's locked up.
Bruce (24:15):
Never seen a lot pick before.
Tanner (24:18):
Have I seen a lockpick before? Yes. I've seen a lot to
pick before he doesn't have anyon him.
Bruce (24:22):
I heard him somewhere places you check everywhere up
his bomb.
Tanner (24:25):
Yes.
Bruce (24:27):
Okay, good. We're just gonna get an only one gonna be
there. All right. Well, so he'sproblem. I went by the armory.
gentleman told me take this.
Come here. That's why theOberlin axe wants me to execute
him so much. Let's go back tojump to go to Zeke, that we're
not excusing the guy.
Tanner (24:48):
Yes. All right. Well, Grayson has no charge here. If
he told you to do somethingthat's I doubt that comes from
Zeke. Zeke will have to tell mehimself.
Bruce (24:59):
All right. Let's go get him. Okay. And we turn around
and walk away. Okay. Oh,
Will (25:07):
oh, really? I was about to say this. We're about to go look
at Margie. Margie. You're aboutto find out why I am the face if
I lied.
Bruce (25:19):
Right? Well, yeah, I'm gonna go back to the place where
Tanner (25:26):
we're the rest of us are your basic back around the
corner. You get back over there.
Bruce (25:31):
I'm gonna nudge six. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna say go ask
where the guy was supposed tokill the guard captain
Will (25:39):
understood the same same password just in case things go
sour right
Bruce (25:44):
names to use that when you reference me. It's
relatively simple enough thatit's believable that somebody
could be named that
Will (25:53):
under the HA take your red cloak.
Bruce (25:57):
Now I want you to go and say I wish they were supposed to
be you're supposed to meet himand help deal with his guard
captain. Okay, using numbersnumbers to convince them. He's
gonna pitch he's gonna tell youto piss off and then I'm gonna
send another one of us and I'mgonna keep doing it until you
guys. Okay, enough of us comelooking for.
Will (26:17):
Understood. Let's do let's do this.
Bruce (26:22):
All right. Story. The only way I'm going to convince
him is if numbers show up.
Will (26:27):
Okay, cool. Walk a walk around the corner. I guess from
where he just disappeared.
Bruce (26:32):
Remember multiple multiple people telling the same
story is generally how a storybecomes convincing.
Will (26:39):
Okay, cool. Yeah, I woke up to Okay.
Tanner (26:42):
Basically the same thing as your approach close. Paid
raises an arm. doesn't sayanything to him.
Will (26:50):
I'm looking for Thea if he's supposed to be killing the
guards. Captain. Theo. Theo.
Tanner (26:59):
Yeah. Okay. Not happening.
Will (27:05):
Zeke sent me himself. I'm not sure why I'm here. I was
what I was set to No. Getnotification for Zeke, so that
he could tell him that Theo didthe job that was asked of him.
Tanner (27:18):
Okay, go ahead and roll deception. Straight. No
advantage.
Will (27:27):
Oh, I did pretty good at minus 170. We keep going up one.
Bruce (27:32):
I feel like the other two are convinced now though. So are
we rolling against them tostill?
Tanner (27:36):
You know what? You're not. Okay. One roll. What you're
up
Will (27:43):
17 Total at minus one.
Tanner (27:45):
Okay. Once again, pit looks at you. gotta hear from
Zeke. This guy's too importantto knock off and we weren't
supposed to kill anybody.
Will (27:55):
Where did where did Theo go? I'll get him. I'll grab Zeke
too.
Tanner (28:00):
Yeah, you bring zip download to you and you don't
know that guy. Don't know you.
Will (28:06):
Understood. Okay.
Fraser (28:09):
So at this point, I come from walking around the corner
from behind. Okay. And I just Ishout down the quarter. Jason.
Jason. Have you found Theo? Hashe done the job?
Will (28:20):
No, I I don't think so. I haven't found deal yet. And
these guys haven't let him doit. They need to hear from Zeke
specifically.
Fraser (28:28):
Okay. Well, I continue to approach and just walk up and
say Well, where is he? Zeke senthim here to do a very specific
job and we have to make surethat it's done.
Will (28:38):
I? I'm not sure. Do you know what to do with
Fraser (28:42):
your name? pit pit right pit? Yeah. Have you seen him?
Has he been here? Yeah. And
Tanner (28:54):
I don't have to tell you shit.
Fraser (28:55):
What do you mean you you definitely need to tell me these
things.
Tanner (28:59):
I'm sorry. You need to learn your place. My oh my
Will (29:03):
pace.
Fraser (29:04):
My place. At this point.
I get up in his face and backhim against the wall that he's
standing in front of and get upto his nose. He
Tanner (29:11):
doesn't move an inch
Fraser (29:14):
by my place back down my place back down. You have lost
your mind, son.
Tanner (29:22):
He shoves you. Go ahead and give me a strength contest.
So what you're going to berolling as athletics.
Bruce (29:32):
I hear all this going on.
Fraser (29:36):
It's a 12 plus one.
Tanner (29:37):
He shoves you back so hard. You you fall down. Stay
down. Get the fuck out of herebring Zeke. And at this point,
you can see Artemis and guyskind of nudging each other. And
Artemis looks at Pitt and saysdude, I mean like, Hey, why do
we care?
Will (29:57):
Wait a second. Wait a second. That's that's my new
friend.
Tanner (30:04):
Yeah, it's fine.
Will (30:08):
Ah, in the words of in the words of my dearest friend of
the world, Archie alcohol I castto spare the dying or I guess
told the dead on his ass. Okay,I grabbed him recast told the
dead and what else do I do? I'mZeke motherfucker
Tanner (30:30):
Okay, everyone go ahead and roll initiative what's gonna
happen is because things kind ofchanged up and you guys did some
more actions you particularsurprises won't work except for
sixes who will get something offto start off with everyone will
just go in their typical orderfor everything else
Fraser (30:50):
14
Tanner (30:51):
Very nice.
Will (30:52):
That escalated quick I said I did say alcohol for
Archie to be on the moveArchie's but he wouldn't get a
surprise rail when I did that
Tanner (31:03):
I write right
Bruce (31:04):
around the corner and be like why are you doing
Tanner (31:06):
Marsh Don't fucking Yeah, just keep on with the
story. You
Bruce (31:09):
keep telling a lie. You don't ever tell the truth when
you start telling a lie.
Tanner (31:13):
You got you will be able to get up there in one turn.
What is ISO? 14 four MorbarkYeah, okay. Was everyone else
got
Bruce (31:24):
813
Tanner (31:29):
First up in the order six, you get your spare the
dime. What does that do? What doI need?
Will (31:36):
He needs to roll a DC 13 saving throw wisdom.
Tanner (31:42):
And this is pit you're attacking? Yeah, he passes.
Will (31:47):
Okay, so he doesn't take shit. Okay.
Tanner (31:51):
Yeah, as you as you unleash this spell on him, he
brings his hands up and shrugsyou off. Since its touch, and he
squares up against you. His faceis Placid, he is ready for the
shit. All right, we'll move onto top of the order which is
Mark bark. You've just beenknocked down. So you are prone.
(32:14):
What that means is you'll haveto use all your movement to
stand up, but you're right nextto them. So you could still do a
melee range attack.
Will (32:20):
I think it's half human instead of and.
Tanner (32:23):
Yes, you're right. Thank you, but it's okay. Yep. So you
have to
Will (32:27):
move 15 feet back if you need to. If it is,
Tanner (32:31):
you wouldn't take necessarily an opportunity to
take because these are not meleeattackers.
Bruce (32:35):
I don't think you take opportunity to text for standing
up and this addition anyway.
Tanner (32:40):
Now I'm
Fraser (32:43):
motherfuck motherfucker I'll show you to push me and I
stand up and I grabbed the greatsword out of the hilt on my side
as it glows purple and I swingat him.
Tanner (32:51):
Okay, cool. Go ahead and roll to hit
Fraser (32:57):
it's a got a camera eight on dice. Okay, plus plus.
What is that? What do I plustwo?
Tanner (33:06):
I should say anything, but it's probably just
proficiency because you're notadding your charisma to it yet.
Fraser (33:10):
Okay. Yeah. So plus two then okay, cool. Great.
Tanner (33:15):
You go to strike at him.
And just because of yourmovement and getting up, he is
ready for and has enough time tosidestep out of the way and you
miss him. I don't believe thisproximity. there's anything else
that you can do for bonusaction. So I think that's the
end of your
Fraser (33:35):
turn. Yeah, that's probably it there.
Tanner (33:37):
Okay. All right. We will now move on to the next person
around. Why D? Who? You guysleft him back around the corner.
He's peering around and hestarts kind of slowly
approaching looking between thetwo groups. Not sure what to do.
I'm with him. Oh, that's right.
You are you are with him. Youdidn't run away from him. So
(33:59):
yeah, he's he's looking betweenyou and the other guys and he
doesn't make a move. He's veryweird situation. Then we'll move
on to Archie. All right.
Will (34:13):
Oh, they roll bad for this year. Thank God.
Bruce (34:15):
So how long has this been like a couple of minutes for
those conversations? Yeah. I'mgonna look at why D and I was
gonna say, this is what we'regonna do. Going around a corner
together, and I'm gonna yell athim and yell at the Martini
compadres over there. We'regonna start we're gonna make
them think that I'm acting asread quick. Follow me. Okay.
Tanner (34:38):
I'm trying to fast advantage 10 probably bad.
Okay, all right. He nods.
Bruce (34:56):
Okay. All right. Yeah, around the corner. Okay, and I
feigned surprise as I see thesetwo green clerks attacking red
clerks
Tanner (35:08):
hit instantly notice you look it up. looks up at you. He
says. Yeah, this semester you'relooking for a little bit of
infighting. Pretty fucking dumbbud.
Bruce (35:20):
Well, fuck are you talking about?
Tanner (35:21):
The fuck are you talking about?
Bruce (35:24):
I don't know. I don't know why these two green cloaks
are attacking you. I know he'snot right.
Tanner (35:28):
Then give him the fuck off. They said they're with you.
Bruce (35:31):
They're not with me. Like you know, whatever. You to knock
your shit off, right? I'mapproaching. Just fucking like
playing anger. How you fuckyThank you. Ah, attacking red
cloaks. Once you know how thisworks. I just keep approaching
kind of aggressively towards thetowards I'm margin.
Unknown (35:54):
Six. You I know you Jason right? What are you doing,
bro? If you want to die you gotto fucking Death Wish you know
who these are? No, no. He hit myfriends.
Will (36:06):
I didn't like it. I pushed him.
Unknown (36:08):
He started it. Go Yeah, yeah. Okay, but Well, we were
sent here by Zeke. What are wesupposed to do? Well, at this
point, they've been you know,rules are off.
Tanner (36:22):
We kick your ass here and now we're gonna get the fuck
up back the fuck up. And we cando this with some diplomacy
Will (36:31):
you know what?
I agree.
Unknown (36:33):
I back up a little bit.
He looks over at you Mr. Burke.
We came in here complete. Idon't care. Fuck you.
Fraser (36:43):
We came in here. Ready to be?
Bruce (36:47):
Radek at a screencloud
Fraser (36:49):
and that'll take that shit.
Bruce (36:51):
Okay, why within melee range a pit yet? Approaching
this entire time?
Tanner (36:56):
Yeah, I mean, you can get there you are stacked behind
the other two. Right? So youkind of got the sandwich that
and the other three. Okay, soyeah, you could probably you
could squeeze into the placewhere six was in order to
Bruce (37:10):
be next to mark barred right? Yep. I'm gonna use that
opportunity to get there and I'mgoing to kind of turn towards
Mark Mark and I'm going to justbe like,
Unknown (37:17):
I and I point a pit is called fucking kill you if you
make him that's not what wewant.
Fraser (37:30):
I mean, I don't want that, obviously.
Unknown (37:32):
But he, why are you here? Because you're not with
me. I'm just gonna leave.
Fraser (37:44):
And I turn and walk off back in the direction I
originally came. Alright,
Bruce (37:48):
so how about we all just chill out? I'll go get some
alcohol.
Tanner (37:56):
Relax.
Will (37:57):
Hey, does that count now?
Tanner (37:59):
We've kind of we're gonna keep same order in combat,
but that's fine. That's fine.
What what is what is happeningat this point is I will give the
two of you a surprise round MarkMark, you've gone far enough
outside where you wouldn't beable to get in on this
particular attack. But it hasseemed to calm them down enough
to where they are potentiallygoing to be surprised by this.
Will (38:24):
So it's Bruce's turn still technically,
Tanner (38:28):
you can attack same time. I will allow that because
six year next so Okay,
Bruce (38:35):
cool. Yeah, what? Wait,
Fraser (38:37):
I'm gonna attack at the same time. Archie.
Will (38:39):
It's okay. Yeah, we're using the same Turner order that
we had so you feigned walkingoff? Angry? Yeah. And now you
can turn around to hit him witha glass on your next turn or
whatever. But yeah, so So I didnot. I did knock a crossbow
arrow. So I have that ready. SoI'll pull that up. Ready to go
whatever and fire at the sametime. Archie swings livery does
(39:01):
Okay. All right, who you guyshit pit.
Bruce (39:04):
I'm aiming straight for pit.
Tanner (39:06):
Okay, both of you roll your attacks tell me what you
get.
Bruce (39:11):
Where was windy? Because I definitely was paying
attention to what he was doing.
I don't trust him. He's,
Tanner (39:15):
he's right behind you.
Okay,
Bruce (39:16):
I don't trust him motherfucker. Still. So
Will (39:20):
14 plus two.
Tanner (39:22):
Okay. 14 plus two is 16 grez as you and what do you get
Archie? I got 19 Okay, as youboth go to make an attack on
him, it raises his hand and thisblue energy flashes up as both
of your attacks come acrossinstantly deflects the bolt that
(39:46):
comes towards him. However, witha 19
Bruce (39:51):
with an 18 cleaver It was fucking shield that hits
Tanner (39:54):
through his shield. Yep.
So you you cut through. Hisshield is not strong. enough to
stave off this particular attackand I rage okay cool
Bruce (40:05):
with my mouth turning into the mall of whatever the
hell I think it's like a beastmall or whatever Yeah, I think
we said wolf yeah some it lookskind of is where
Tanner (40:13):
we'll be in slightly can lycanthropic
Will (40:16):
lycanthropic y'all What's up call me
Bruce (40:26):
that will Darrow I'll do 11 damage. And I'm going to say
through my toothy, Wolfie grin.
Zeke's not killing me becauseyou don't want to fucking
listen. Oh,
Tanner (40:42):
oh, okay. All right.
Artemis and Gaius, look overthis shit that's happening. And
like, they they nudge each otherand are like look, and they look
back over at Pitt. Who you know,you're right as this axe cuts
across him and slices throughhis red robes across his chest,
and the blood starts coming out.
(41:06):
Just darkening his robes. Helooks up at you and this I mean
you can see the fire in his eyesand he spits on the floor and
says never seen a student needto use an axe.
Bruce (41:21):
And I just because I'm stronger than you
Tanner (41:24):
i When you say that you you hear him whisper a spell and
his body starts to shift andblur and you can see him sort of
wavering about it messes withyour eyes as it seems to be some
sort of strange imagery going onwhat was a one that is minimize
(41:52):
everything, dingus? Okay, and ashe does that, he will dash off
to the corner about 20 feet awayto get out of your immediate
range
Bruce (42:07):
okay
Will (42:08):
it's an opportunity to tech Yep, no it's not
Tanner (42:12):
No Yeah, it is.
Bruce (42:12):
No it is Oh, I thought he used to spell to do it so I
didn't think he No
Tanner (42:15):
no he used he used to spell but now he is running but
only what I mean six won't beable to do it. He has a crossbow
ready and that doesn't Yeah,
Bruce (42:25):
all right. I'm gonna hold on I gotta I gotta flip a coin
because I'm stuck between twodecisions and I don't know what
I should do. I'm not sure whatOkay, okay. All right. I level
the axe at him and I say I justhold it up to him and I say
you're going to stay in yourfucking corner and let me do
what I came here to do
Tanner (42:47):
buck you and that is the enemy's turn. Artemis will now
go and Artemis is like a littlefreaked out situation but he but
he steals himself prettyquickly. He will arc his arm
around and right where Archieand six are standing this slick
(43:13):
grease will begin to clear andcover the ground 10 foot square
starting at you and then twosquares behind it one where why
D is I need both of you to giveme a dexterity saving throw that
(43:33):
me yes six and arching. I needthree three okay
Bruce (43:40):
14 Remember I get advantage because I can see is
Tanner (43:45):
nice. Okay, so you already do that?
Bruce (43:49):
Yes 14
Tanner (43:52):
Six. As this grease begins to form on the floor, you
take a step back and lose yourfooting and fall prone. Archie,
you can feel the slicknessbuilding up on your boots, but
your you know grime, you're ableto keep your stance in it and
you remain standing. And thisguy will help stand strong in
(44:17):
front of the door and in histurn, and we'll move on to Gaius
who will then hold his hands outinitiative has to be the last
one that I gotta look up
Bruce (44:34):
the last bell
Tanner (44:38):
okay. He will touch his thumbs together and hold his
hands out with his fingersspread and a thin sheet of flame
shoots forth out at you. I needeveryone that is just going to
be the three of you mark barkyou've gotten far enough out of
the vicinity. So I need sixArchie and I'm going to make one
(45:00):
For yd to see if you save sodexterity saving throw please
you gotta be a 1319 14
Will (45:11):
again
Tanner (45:13):
nice okay okay so both of you saved young Daniel did
not the grease underneath yourfeet looks killing Daniel
ignites and flames raise up fromit young Daniel begins to fry
(45:36):
and he screams briefly until heis choked of life and is just a
fried chicken on the floor
Bruce (45:48):
so he just killed him instantly basically
Tanner (45:51):
yep it did enough damage to kill him instantly
Fraser (45:54):
yes it did that student these guys did it
Tanner (45:56):
okay the other two of you you do take six
damage
Bruce (46:02):
all right and oh not kill anybody you just roasted a
fucking green cloak
Tanner (46:11):
you seem to you seem to hit something and guys but you
can he looks at Artemis and likeGreece and then fire that was
the plan there is now fire allaround you Yeah, fire all around
you. That will end his turn hewill also stand next to Artemis
in front of the door and we willmove back to the top of the
(46:35):
order Mark bark you are withindistance to do magic spelling or
to attempt to put out fire or toyou can you can still run up and
hit in melee range. Anyone Butpit
Fraser (46:51):
I think it was anyone but
Tanner (46:53):
you can't hit pit with melee you can hit him with
spells.
Fraser (46:56):
Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. Cool. Yeah, so I'm gonna
go ahead and I've still got agrudge against old pit and I'm
gonna eldritch blast is asked tooblivion
Will (47:04):
alright him yes
Fraser (47:07):
out the fucking
Tanner (47:08):
give me that attempt. Go ahead and oh,
Fraser (47:11):
that's an 11 plus whatever it
Bruce (47:15):
is charisma modifier in that Yeah. Okay, so 60
Tanner (47:19):
Give me another role because it's a disadvantage
because this will
Fraser (47:24):
take the lower of the 2015
Tanner (47:29):
you the eldritch energy crackles between your fingertips
and you reach out ahead andflick this ancients fell forward
and it splashes against Pitt andit connects with them. Go ahead
and roll damage. Oh sure.
Fraser (47:49):
Are over off the table.
That's an eight.
Tanner (47:53):
Okay. All right. Pit is still standing. But he
definitely does not look to bein the best condition. He
hunches over a bit, puts his armacross the gash on his chest.
And his breathing is a bitlabored. But his face is still
(48:13):
stoic with a hint of anger in itready to strike out not ready to
back down. He has a job to do.
We will then move on to d moveany closer move anywhere else
Mark Mark
Fraser (48:27):
how close am I right now?
Tanner (48:29):
You are 15 feet from Artemis and Gaius you are the
better part of 40 feet fromPitt.
Fraser (48:37):
Okay, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna just more or less stay
where I am. Okay. Seems like agood range Mart.
Tanner (48:43):
All right, Archie. It is your turn.
Will (48:46):
I was gonna make a suggestion. Fraser when you're
doing that, that at 13 HP youshould probably stay in the
back. Yeah, that's
Fraser (48:54):
why I was like, Yeah, Artemis and guys don't seem
nearly as threatening as it doesright now. I have a grudge
against Pitt. But I can also hithim from here with elders class,
so I don't really want to getany closer to him. I don't know
that it matters if he's just amagic boy who can sling fire all
over the place. But
Bruce (49:13):
I tend to have a question. Yes. So I have an
advantage on perception forhearing and smelling.
Can I utilize that skill to nothave to use my eyesight to hit a
pit? Because as soon asshimmering is an eyesight issue,
(49:34):
because I see him shimmering,right so it doesn't look right.
Tanner (49:37):
I will give you this.
I'll give you this and transformyour mouth. Okay. Give me a
perception role. Based on smell.
We won't do it based on hearingyour perception or based on
smell to see if if you can makethat connection. Like there's
burning body around you. There'sother smells that are currently
very strong.
Bruce (49:57):
Gotcha. Okay. 16
Tanner (50:00):
Do you think that? This is a very interesting question.
Bruce (50:12):
If it's no, it's no, it's fine. I just I'm just I mean, I
have that.
Tanner (50:15):
Well, I mean, you have you have a utility that could be
kind of fun. I'm just trying.
Okay. Explain to me how usingsmell would help you pinpoint
someone's location when you'regoing to be swinging at him. And
then
Bruce (50:29):
well, I mean, it's the same thing is like tracking. So
like a wolf tracks you throughyour smell. That's how it knows
to find you. So I'm thinkingthat if I have advantage on it
for hearing smelling that, dueto the fact that it's a magical
nature, it helped me locatesomebody. So like, he's got this
probably. Right. So shimmering.
So he has this, I guess? Certainnot so compact area in which he
(50:50):
seems to exist in but it'sbigger, because he's shimmering.
So he's really moving. Becausewhen you say shimmering, is he
moving back and forth quickly,like a vibration? Yeah,
basically. So I would imaginethat if that's only a sight
thing, and not a hearingsmelling thing, I would be able
to narrow down the space inwhich he appears with smelling
hearing versus sight. Becausethat's not going to put, I don't
(51:12):
think the spell is going to putout any kind of sight or smell.
And if I'm wrong, I'm cool withthat, too. You don't have to
tell me you can just be like,you think you might got it, and
I'll go for it. And if I miss, Imiss out on what I
Tanner (51:23):
will, what I will give to you is, you know with it
within this animalistic naturethat you've unlocked. It is more
likely that you could findsomething using one sense if you
cut off the other sense. So youthink that if you close your
eyes, maybe you could hold yournose and and have it sort of
Bruce (51:42):
Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, I planned on doing that. So
Tanner (51:45):
if you do that, if you do that your eyes will need to
remain close in his attack willhave advantage on you. attackers
will have advantage because youwon't be able to dodge but you
can have a normal attack againsthim. I will get to your next
turn.
Bruce (52:01):
Yeah, I'll take it.
Tanner (52:03):
Okay. All right. We'll
Bruce (52:04):
certainly look at one more thing too
I'm also going to recklessattack because pocket he's
already got advantage. Okay,yeah, that gives me advantage
during my turn.
Tanner (52:21):
Oh, you fuck. Alright.
Bruce (52:24):
You want to stop? We can pull it back. If you want to
pull it back. We'll pull itback.
Tanner (52:28):
Oh, no, it's a good enough reasoning. I gave you a
way to stack it and beat me atthe game. So go ahead.
Bruce (52:35):
Okay. non-natural are actually 21 to hit.
Tanner (52:39):
Oh yeah, that'll do it.
All right.
Bruce (52:43):
Okay, so he takes 10 damage from my brain X. Okay,
with my eyes closed, so thatshould probably be like what the
fuck in and of itself, but
Tanner (52:54):
you close your eyes. And push your senses past the smell
of the force, Archie. Yeah, youpush yourself past the smell of
bacon boy. And you you swingyour boy you swing your new axe
at him and this thing. You havea sense it's it is like you're
(53:16):
felling a tree. It goes throughthe entire space where you think
he is. And it cleaves cleanthrough him. You hear splashes
on the floor, but don't see thedamage you've done because your
eyes remain closed.
Bruce (53:31):
Okay. Your body something?
Tanner (53:35):
Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, you've cut through
some things that people reallyneed.
Bruce (53:39):
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna say out loud in my life for
life.
Tanner (53:45):
Okay, all right. His Gaius and Artemis look stunned.
Bruce (53:56):
So it was the badass that's what you're telling me.
Tanner (53:59):
It speaks and this gurgle comes out. As he says
Dawn will wreck you. And then hestops breathing
Fraser (54:20):
pitch and
Unknown (54:22):
now we move on that's what I thought. Oh. So I mean, I
guess we could continuefighting. Artemis. Gaius, would
you like to continue fighting?
I'm
Tanner (54:48):
Rob persuasion advantage because you are trying to save
their lives
Bruce (54:55):
Oh, I like how I like how it's become it's become about
saving their lives now that I'vemet under their friend
Will (55:01):
that's a 13 and 11 on dice minus one is a 12.
Bruce (55:05):
That's fucking hilarious.
That means they're scared.
That's what it means.
Will (55:14):
Just lie on the dice they wrote a five, five Na,
Tanner (55:19):
Gaius, Gaius doesn't hesitate to lower his arms.
Artemis looks over at Pitts bodyand back to you and just takes a
step back and he says, I don'twant any trouble,
Bruce (55:39):
but that's that's fucked.
That's fucked. That's fucked.
Well, I didn't want to kill yourfriend. But he won't let me do
what I came here to do. Are yougoing to be in my way to go do
the same to you? I still have myeyes closed. No, no, no, this
was going to happen because nowyou've made me mad. You're gonna
(55:59):
fuck off right now. Or we're notstopping. You killed my green
cloak. He was my green cloak.
And you fucking burned him. lithim on fire. And you made him
breathe his own burning fleshbefore he died. Gaius
Tanner (56:19):
Gaius looks down at the body and looks at the burning
I'm gonna go ahead and say sixyou walk out of the fire
Bruce (56:27):
which is fucking epic looking.
Tanner (56:29):
Yeah, you do you take as you do.
Bruce (56:34):
The Firebird trigger damage.
Tanner (56:35):
Yeah. Gaius looks at the scene. He kills all
the bear and he pukes Artemissays Will my brother and I are
gone. We'll leave right now.
Unknown (56:52):
Pay I can make a suggestion. Leave leave town
very pit. I wouldn't stay here.
Tanner (57:00):
No, we're not. I'm not I don't want to carry that. That's
disgusting. I can't
Will (57:05):
I mean, I know I'll bury him. vices done. Okay.
Tanner (57:11):
He grabs guys by the collar and leads them out and
they leave the the flamesdissipate on the grease which is
pretty much burned up on thefloor. And why D is nearly
unrecognizable. Combat is over.
Fraser (57:27):
I spit that's what I thought
Bruce (57:28):
I spit on Friday and open the door. Okay. Archie Archie is
mad that he killed Why do he'snot happy that that he killed
his own like because rememberArchie is about family. And they
were supposed to be part of thesame family. And he without a
second thought was like you'renot going to do this live but
I'm going to burn thismotherfucking innocent little
(57:49):
green cloak to death right infront of you. So that actually
upset Archie because Archie isabout family.
Will (57:55):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah. Why do you did try tobetray us a little bit
Bruce (58:01):
No yen he never made an actual indication he was going
to betray he followed me when Itold him to so as far as through
empathy
Will (58:08):
to make us not attack him.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
