Chapter 8 The Trials of Hamella Part 2
(00:16):
So after that attack we are in initiative order starting with Bernard.
Holy shit what is that thing?
I'd like to take out my rapier and stabby stabby.
Okay before you do that as you take it out you realize that uh...
Holy crap you're tired.
You don't know how long you've been wandering around in this daze.
(00:38):
Take a level of fatigue.
I am very very sleepy.
I wish I had jiquan roast.
You're winded so you have a minus one penalty to all tests you cannot run or charge.
I rolled a five four three.
Is a sixteen hit.
Yes it does.
Woohoo.
(01:00):
I'm so tired.
And then it's one d six plus three.
Um it is.
Damn.
I rolled a one.
Jeez.
So that's a four.
Okay.
I didn't really stabby stabby I just kind of poked it.
(01:22):
Yeah your body is definitely like done.
Two hundred sixty nine really catch up to you in this trial thing.
Anything else for a minor action.
I'd like to uh...
I guess I can't really sleep right here.
Um can I guard up?
Sure.
Yes.
I'm just gonna take this thing head on.
(01:44):
Uh oh.
Uh barren I'll take us to you as you're in the same type of situation.
Understood. Winded.
Yeah everyone will start winded.
I'm gonna do something stupid here.
I'm gonna pull out my weapon and then I'm gonna activate Berserker.
That's my turn.
Okay. That works.
Uh.
Morgana.
Yeah where's the berserker now?
(02:06):
Do I hear that?
No.
Um actually.
Roll perception hearing.
Everyone or just Morgana?
Everyone.
I rolled a thirteen with
minus one counted.
Uh fourteen.
Sixty.
Yeah.
(02:28):
Everyone hears the berserker noise.
Sounds pretty faint.
What are your dragon dies?
Six.
Bernard and Argon.
You can tell the direction that it came from.
Morgana you definitely get a general sense.
From where you are you would know that you would actually want to go forward at the very least.
You guys know that you would be like going forward right?
(02:52):
Like you know can hear the echo and exactly kind of where it came from.
Alright.
So that is Morgana's turn.
Oh I still have a turn?
Yeah.
Um I'd like to cast
Icy Grip.
Cool.
On the worm.
If that wasn't clear.
So is it a
(03:14):
figure of
our imagination of the
memory we just experienced?
So that's what it started as and then it like the body of
that memory opened up into
a maw of just like teeth.
My god dude this is the
thing. Yeah blood red colored.
Seventeen.
Yeah that probably casts.
Minus one but yeah it casts at
(03:36):
twelve. It's going to be a constitution
stamina versus spell power.
It's a seventeen. Oh that
beats.
Um.
Six.
After that it does make the
test on its turn.
Okay so that would be at the beginning of its turn
it would make the test. Yeah.
(03:58):
Okay so it would end that turn. And then if it fails then it ends.
But yeah it'll end on him since I already
rolled it. Right.
Six okay.
Any minor actions?
I guess I'll start
moving in the
direction I heard the buzzer.
The buzzer.
Okay. As best as I can.
Cool. That'll take us
(04:20):
to our gun.
It is a friendly. Right up on you. I just attacked you.
Okay just attacked me. Yep.
So you come out of your super after game bit and then you
see this thing just
in front of you and you hear barren freaking
out. I like
to attack it with my helper.
I do have devil
seven plus five. Twelve
does not hit. Damn it. Yeah.
(04:42):
You swing out at this thing to no avail.
Which will take us
back to them.
First one starting with Bernard.
It's gonna have the uh
go ahead and make a lash attack at you.
It's a nineteen
hit.
Oh yes it very much does.
It's okay no stunt points.
I'm still concerned.
(05:04):
That'll be nine damage.
Next one at you barren.
Help.
Is it an eleven hit?
No. Wait no.
I did the berserker so yes it does.
Okay with three stunt points.
Bring it.
It's gonna try to grab you.
So go ahead and take nine damage
(05:26):
first.
Making a
accuracy brawling.
Accuracy brawling.
Trying to beat a fourteen.
No that's
a twelve. Alright.
So it grabs you. Get off me.
It wraps around you and kind of
constricts on you like a snake.
We have Morgana getting an attack
(05:48):
next. A lash attack
that's a sixteen
to hit. Yes it hits.
No stunts.
Eight damage.
And
argon yours.
Is a
seventeen to hit.
I assume it does.
Yes.
(06:10):
And you'll take
six damage.
Damn. None of this penetrating of course.
But that'll take us back to Bernard.
Oh I'm so
tired.
I'm just gonna run.
I heard my friend going crazy over there.
Just you know the sketchy one.
Um. The sketchy.
I'm gonna run.
(06:32):
Okay yeah you can make two movements.
Morgana or no barn.
I'm gonna break out.
I don't want to be in here anymore.
I won't get out of the hug.
Was that
not possible? What if she gave you a kiss?
No.
So I'll get out of here so I can go ahead and hit it.
I mean you can still hit it
from there but you can't move away from it until the end
(06:54):
of its turn. Oh that's fine.
I like to aim and then hit.
So that minus one doesn't affect.
Go for it.
That was close but it hits.
How do you know?
Because does an eighteen hit?
Oh yeah.
No it's a twenty defense.
Alright.
(07:16):
His ass is grass.
I learned that from the grass tickles.
Alright.
Fifteen damage.
Holy crap.
Yeah you definitely
hunk a piece of it off.
That'll take us back to Morgana.
Yeah I'd like to just
run in the
direction I think I heard.
(07:38):
Okay.
Go ahead and roll
intelligence navigation.
That's a seventeen minus
one. Sixteen.
Dragon type. A two.
Okay.
You definitely succeed.
And you think you can
start to hear like some struggling
(08:00):
and a weapon going against
flesh.
As you leave this creature behind you.
Argon.
Is there any way I can take my
health kit?
So the way healing kits
work is you cannot use
them to heal yourself.
You can only heal allies
with healing actions and healing
(08:22):
kits.
But you know moving is always
an option. You know where
Baron is. Yeah I think I will go ahead
and move in that direction to try to
aid him.
You're pretty close.
You can tell
you start just looking at you move.
You get over and then you're like oh it's bright. He's right around
the corner.
(08:44):
And
Argon bring aid from Gondor.
The beacons are lit.
Gondor calls for aid.
That'll take us back to these guys.
Bernard you
double moved.
You betcha baby I did.
So yeah you're running.
Baron. I'm scared.
It's up on and grabbing you.
(09:06):
It's going to use its minor action to continue
to try to grab you and keep you here. So go ahead
and make another brawling test.
That's a no. But don't worry I'm
not going anywhere. 14
still has you grabbed. It's tack.
It's going to go ahead and bite you since it has you.
13 to hit.
(09:28):
Sorry.
12. 12 to hit.
Still hits. Okay.
No stun points. Oh that's
only nine damage.
Next up we have Morgana.
You double moved. You're just running.
Argon you ran
as well.
Double moves. So Bernard
back to you.
(09:50):
Am I
in a chase or not?
So because you can't run you cannot be in a chase.
Oh I see. That's also
a good thing. I'm scared still.
Yeah but you pretty much know where you're
supposed to be heading but it's a little distant
at this point. I'm still
running. Running running. As much as I can I guess.
Okay.
Oh no.
(10:12):
Let's make this fun. Go ahead and do an acrobatics test
for me. Acrobatics
where I'm fatigued.
Oh man.
Alright.
I roll like shit.
I got two ones and a two.
There's a
four minus one is a three
and then I have three on dexterity.
Yeah you fell that hard but I'm sorry.
(10:34):
Oh.
So as
you're running and going you
realize that the walls next to you are
also kind of still water so you're kind of
just in a box of what's of water
against gravity from the ceiling and on
the walls and you see a figure
of like a slithering next to you.
I hope it's not
an eel. I freaking hate eels after
(10:56):
that experience.
Alright that'll take us to Marcana. Let's
do the same thing.
Because I assume you're going to keep moving.
Yes.
Oh jeez.
It's a seven. Okay.
Yeah you're clear. You just are moving.
I rolled like absolute dog shit.
Yes.
Argon will do the same
(11:18):
actually.
With your movement
you go around the corner and you see
Baran wrapped up in this
worm like thing. How far is he?
About eight yards from you.
I could shoot it with my bow to
at least try to hit it
or distract it.
Try to release its grip.
I will say you will have to pull out your bow
(11:40):
as another minor action. But you're
definitely ready to fire. Okay.
That'll take us back to these
creatures. Starting with
Bernard because it caught up with you.
Because it pops out of the water.
Did you go
that round? No I haven't done anything
yet. Oh yeah you didn't.
It's okay. It's still hugging him.
It usually goes before me. Yeah I'll cut it back
(12:02):
then. No worries.
Yeah because I skipped because of Bernard. Sorry.
Yeah Baran go ahead and attack.
That was a ten.
No it's not hit.
Okay.
It's okay that's why he skipped you.
He knew you wouldn't hit. So now
we'll have the attack against Bernard.
It was a 19.
Oh.
(12:24):
Why does this always happen to me?
I just dropped my coffee.
So it just comes out and just like
rips its body around to deal
six damage to you.
Next up is the one against
Baran. It'll continue to
keep you grabbed so we can see if you break free
I guess.
You're trying to beat
a 11. No
(12:46):
that was a ten. Easy man.
It'll attack you with another bite.
Is that a 17 to hit?
No stunts. You guys are getting lucky
on the stunts at least. That's going to be 13.
I don't know if this is what you would call
lucky.
I feel so lucky to
be fatigued and so lucky.
Not able to run and getting
this bitten all the time.
(13:08):
Damn Morgana you were good.
So you don't get attacked.
And Argon you outran
yours and are now with Baran so you're good.
Which takes two of Bernard's turn.
Um.
I'm running.
Please.
Let me run. Let's go ahead and give you another acrobatics test
to see if you can outrun it again.
(13:30):
It's only a nine.
Yeah.
I'm so fatigued. You got a 14 so
you see this figure is now on the other side
swimming right up with you.
Why do you swim so fast?
What are you?
Unfortunately these guys don't talk.
They're monsters.
Which will take us to
Marga. I'm just kidding.
(13:52):
Baran.
I was kind of expecting it.
Do you want to aim?
No I don't need to.
11
16
16 to hit. Yes.
Damn.
21. Why did you say damn to that?
I wanted all sixes.
(14:14):
Jesus.
Yeah this thing is
freaking messed up man.
Good lord.
I'm not doing too hot. You monster.
I am.
Marga that will be your turn.
I'd like to keep running. Moving.
So you
can start here and now. Actually as you come around
a corner you see someone standing there with their bow
(14:36):
drawn. As you get closer you see
that it is Argon as you approach him.
Hello.
And that was both minor actions to get there?
Oh hey. Hello there.
Hello.
Which will take us to
Argon. Argon.
Which now you can aim if you want.
Yes. Please. Aim and fire.
That will negate your negative
(14:58):
one.
Damn that's right the negative one.
Hang on.
That's a plus two. So 11.
That's a nine. Damn it.
I'm sorry. I am trying.
Just the arrow.
It's over
there.
You do it. Listen to the reaction
from the creature just looks at you
(15:20):
physically. I look at him.
I shake my hand I'm like right.
Takes us back to these guys.
Unfortunately Bernard
it did catch up to you so you're gonna
be the target of another
attack. I really hope this doesn't
hit.
That's a 12.
No I have 13
(15:42):
defense. Cause you're a little shield.
Even as you're running 14 with the shield.
Yeah so you put your little shell shield up
and it kind of comes out and just dink out of the water
and you're like. I knew this thing would
come in handy. That was two ones and a
six on the dragon dice. That would have really sucked
if it hadn't hit.
I would have died actually.
I'll tell you the truth here.
Next one is Barnes.
(16:04):
I have a question.
So gnomes can have
they can see up to 20 yards
in the darkness without a light source.
Yeah you have dark vision. If I take
my light source away
can this guy still see me?
That's a good question. You'll have to find
out. Can you do a little sniffy sniff?
I mean if he's
in the water it's hard to say if he could see
(16:26):
out of it if there wasn't light.
Yeah next turn.
I'll hit you up on that.
So Barnes
this one's gonna attack you. Another bite.
Now.
We'll
Yes. It'll continue to keep you
grabbed or try to so I guess we'll start with accuracy.
Oh.
(16:48):
That's a 11.
13. You break free. It's unable to keep
its hold on you. You've done so much
damage to it.
But does a
Yes. 16 hit.
No stunts. What do you have? 10 defense
right now. Yeah. I get minus 2 defense
but I also get a plus 2 to
damage when I'm berserk.
(17:10):
It hurts. Just knocked me out right now.
15 damage.
Oh damn. That almost got me
down. Yes it lets you go
you reel back and get your foot in and it's right behind you
with a jaw clamp.
Uh Mark gonna
so with one more move
you can well actually
you're at the same spot as Argon so yeah you see
barren get free of this creature.
(17:34):
I will flame blast.
You know you still can breathe
fire right? Can you like
cook them?
I'm over here if you can't tell I'll move
alright. No? Is that a
no? I don't want to breathe fire.
I just like to flame
blast. Yeah you can do that.
(17:56):
That's a 16 minus
15. So that hits
the target number.
Can I see this? You said I was
8 yards away from him correct? Yeah.
And I have enough aim that I could aim
and not hit barn.
Because he just not grabbed anymore? Yeah you're fine.
Uh Bernard I will let you know.
Okay.
And then can you
(18:18):
make a dexterity? Acrobatics.
That is a
15.
Just passes. You had to beat a 14.
That's 5
fire damage. You roast it
and it's so hurt. So so hurt.
Which will take us back to
(18:40):
Argon. Don't
miss again.
Am I in striking
distance for my two handed sword?
You would have to move and switch your weapon.
So that would be your whole turn.
But you'd be able to get there probably. Okay.
I'll do that. Okay.
Yeah you go up to it with your two handed sword.
Because barn's bloody and beat.
I'm coming.
(19:02):
That's kind of sick
dude.
Honestly I don't need you to do that.
Can you just hit him
for me? Hang on I'll get there.
Please tell him you got your pants on.
I can't quite tell.
This takes us back to these guys.
It's really just the one on Baron at this point.
That's triple
(19:24):
threes. That's a 16 against you
barn. Oh dude I'm gonna go down.
With four
stunt points. There's no way I can
get out of that. You knocked me out.
He's gonna lightning attack and skirmish.
So it will
go ahead and bite and throw you. Which
you're gonna take. Oh.
Eight damage.
I'm down. Yeah.
(19:46):
Yeah it knocks you unconscious.
Lightning attack on you
argon.
Damn.
Does a 12 hit?
No it does not.
So like it strikes out
and tosses Baron aside and then comes
another strike to you and you just block it with
your sword. Okay. So Bernard
so yeah. Cause you approach another kind of
(20:08):
fork you do see this flame
burst to one side.
I would like to put out my light.
Yes you run in the dark just before it's
drying.
Morgana. Where do you go?
Do you want a stealth?
Yes.
I very much like that. Yeah go for it.
Oh
dog shit roll again.
(20:30):
I just want magic
wine coffee. That was an eight.
Okay. Yeah Morgana
you just have Bernard all wet and bloody
run up to you and like try to hide behind your leg.
I'm so glad to see a friend.
Please help.
I could if
I could. Alright.
I'll take us to Baron.
So go ahead and roll a
(20:52):
constitution stamina test.
Cause you are dying.
15. You are unconscious.
You passed the test. You are
no longer dying. That's better.
So you're just out but you are
stable. Yay!
This will take us to Morgana. I'd like
to arcane blast.
(21:14):
Go for it.
Nine.
That does not hit. Anything else for you?
Minor actions? Nope I'm good.
Argon try it up on you.
I'd like to
attack with my
two handed sword. Do it.
Nine
plus five
on the attack roll. So that's 14?
(21:36):
Yes.
Go with the minus one.
13. Does not hit.
Fuuuuck!
I'm sorry.
Anything for a minor action?
Yeah you're just
finally feeling the strain of your body
weighing on you.
Yeah you're just out of breath
even though you seem to be winded from pretty much everything.
(21:58):
I know! This whole campaign!
I'm just fucking slow.
But it is going
to attack you. It's going to aim first.
I don't really think it needs it.
It's a 14 to hit.
Yes.
No stunts for
14 damage.
Fuck!
That takes us to Bernard.
(22:20):
So yeah you see more
Argon getting fucked up by this.
Barnes on the ground dead you presume.
I'm
very concerned right now.
Let's see.
I want to check and see what I have on me.
Real fast.
Water skin. Leather armor.
I'll save that for later.
Oh my smoking pipe.
(22:42):
Oh no.
My spy glass.
My coffee cup.
There's a couple sips left in my coffee cup.
I'm definitely going to sip that shit.
This is how much he loves Barnes.
That is my healing kit.
I would like to sip my coffee and go to Barnes
without my light and try to stealth.
Yeah he has his own healing kit.
I would like to sip my coffee and go to Barnes
(23:04):
without my light and try to stealth.
Yeah he has his light so.
It's illuminated in here.
I mean you failed your stealth check
against this creature. He knows you're there.
I'm going to chug this coffee
a little bit. You can still get to Baron
and try to heal him. And try to get to Baron.
Yeah yeah. Okay so go ahead and roll a healing test.
Gosh!
Damn it!
(23:26):
Oh no.
I got a freaking
I got a six.
That's not enough. You get up and it's
bad.
Fuck.
All you hear is
of the duct tape and it's just sticking to him.
Yeah you can't tear the gauze apart.
Is this stuff cut or?
It's just one big sheet of linen.
(23:48):
I don't understand what's going on.
Which will take us
to Baron who's unconscious
so you're just there.
Morgana.
At least you don't have to roll.
You're not dying.
At least I don't get skipped.
He's like there on the ground like Yumcha.
At least I'm not
getting skipped.
(24:10):
I will flame
blast again. Okay go for it.
Oh shit. Nine.
Nine plus six. Fifteen
or fourteen.
Well you flame blast such your TM.
Oh yeah. It succeeds.
It succeeds.
And then it'll be a
six. Yes.
(24:32):
Is a. Need to beat a
fourteen. That's a sixteen.
Oh.
These things are dex-y. But.
Still takes damage. That was four stunt points.
Oh. Which.
Are you gonna double
flame breath.
So for the first one
he takes five damage.
Okay he succeeds on the
(24:54):
acro on the flame breath as well. So just one
die.
Five damage.
The only time she uses her breath attack
is when I'm all knocked out.
Yeah as you just unleash fire
from your hands and then add your breath
into it into this huge fireball.
Becomes like a dragon head in itself and just
envelops and destroys this creature.
Fuck yeah. Good job.
(25:16):
It's fucking sick. Thank you.
And then my ghostly form goes right back
into my heart. Oh that's fucking
cool. You guys
get it. I was in third person.
Saw the whole thing.
His ghost was riding
though. Go ahead and end combat
there.
Good job guys you didn't die. That ends
(25:38):
the combat. Yeah.
You outran your other ones. Does that
mean I get a breather? It does.
I'd like to just leave you knocked out.
Actually Aron. Unfortunately you
don't. What?
What happened? What do you mean?
Can someone please get some duct tape?
I'm trying. I'm trying.
Can I attempt to heal him?
Can someone else get the duct tape and his scissors?
(26:02):
Anyone even the creature
do you have any duct tape and scissors?
But everyone else go ahead
take a breather.
Now what does a breather do exactly?
Stirring our breather can I major action heal him?
Yes you guys can attempt to heal him pretty much.
So each healing kit you have
what do we decide on? Three uses?
Two uses. Two uses? Two uses?
Uh huh. Succeed or fail
(26:24):
you only have two uses. Is the
healer's kit the heal?
Yeah heal action. Okay.
I'd like to use
the healer's kit on Byron. Yeah.
You guys are all exhausted and
we're gonna go over to try to bandage up Byron.
Oh no.
Well apparently I need to sleep before I try
to heal you.
(26:46):
That's an eight.
Oh jeez.
Honestly stop wasting your medical supplies
just use the health potion in my pouch.
Go through my shit.
I mean I don't know if they...I mean everyone saw you
get the health potion. Yeah everyone saw all the goodies.
Catching your breath.
Does anyone else want to attempt to heal
Byron?
He also has his own two healer kits.
(27:08):
Can I look through his bag? Sure.
Holy shit there's
another kitten here.
I'm gonna try to use that. Oh wait
there's a potion.
I kinda want that for myself.
I'll use
the potion on him. You're gonna feed him
the potion? Yes. Okay.
So that'll recover 3d6
plus your constitution.
(27:30):
I would like to slowly open his lips
and gently pour in
some potion and then...
I'd like to sniff it myself and just take a little
lick and then...
You know all of it's to him I just want to...
...
Do I roll
or do you roll?
You can roll. Who's rolling on who?
Whoever gets the
(27:52):
healing can roll their own healing.
Five...
...six...seven...
That's ten back.
Nice. Plus your constitution.
That was plus constitution. Oh man. Okay.
But you're alive! Yay!
For some reason none of us can roll
today. Good morning sweetheart!
That's gonna make this next part
not great if you guys are not rolling well already.
(28:14):
Damn it.
Hello? I'm sweating.
Hey! She's awake!
So as you guys are sitting in this maze
near Keeling Baron
barn you come back up. You do notice
from the light that the two
directions, cause you were kind of in the middle of like this
hall and there was still like maze everywhere.
See that
the walls where you would have gone in and out
(28:36):
are now water also. So you're now
actually in a box.
And then it starts to like
waterfall down slowly from all the corners
and starts to fill up the room.
A look up. Is there a
hole up there or anything like that?
Are we in a closed box? Oh, roll perception
if you like.
I would like to roll perception too. Yeah, go for it.
Seeing. Seeing or
(28:58):
searching cause you're actively looking.
Twelve.
Can we all roll it? Yeah. Whoever
wants to.
That's a fourteen. Oh, who?
No, I don't see anything.
You see the water rising.
Oh, shit.
Do I get any
MP back?
For a breather? You guys have not
(29:20):
sit around for long enough. Breathers don't provide it.
I didn't think so, but I figured it was
with double checking. I got a fifteen.
Fifteen. Nice.
Yes. Argon, you're the only
one to notice as you're looking around seeing the water you look up.
You see your arrow floating.
You can't retrieve
your arrow. Am I missing shoe?
You see
above you the shoe floating across the
(29:42):
ceiling. Son of a bitch.
But you see
the top of the ceiling here
looks like you're underwater.
So it looks like if you go through this it's not like
into like the deeper depths like the walls
but like you would surface somewhere.
Is it kind of like that
scene from Pirates of the Caribbean where
upside down was right side up?
When they were in the water? When I've
(30:04):
ever done anything like Pirates of the Caribbean.
I don't know.
You won't imagine it. Yes, it would probably be like that.
Okay. But you can tell like
it's like if you're underwater and you can see the surface
versus if you look and there's just more water
you know that that's like a surface above you
now. Okay.
Well thanks for bringing me up guys
but at the same time
looks like we're all gonna die.
(30:26):
Would you rather I just kill you?
I was gonna say I was gonna
if you didn't wake up and all this water
happened I'd have to drown you
and put you out of your misery.
Oh my gosh. But that's only if I feel pain.
I'm not a bitch.
Oh. Well either way you choke
in your sleep so you know.
Do you rather die by water in your sleep
like a little bitch or by a friend?
(30:48):
To be honest I'd rather
die just by
like lots of arrows on weapons
you know pulling at me.
Amen. Like a fire line.
I gave you that. You're welcome. I can give you the
fire part but I don't know about the fire line.
You know what I still haven't seen your
blue fire yet.
Well I don't know if it can actually happen.
I don't think so either. So at this point
(31:10):
the water has just kept
rising. You guys
just treading water? Um real quick did
anyone notice that they had a creature
or anything like that? Is this the only got contact
we had? Um we all had
a creature I think right? Or just me.
I got really messed up back there.
You did too? I had a creature
as well. Enough.
We don't have time for this. Follow me.
(31:32):
Can we swim towards
whoever I look at? I'm right next to you. You haven't moved yet.
Yeah the water keeps rising.
You are able to reach out to it and
your hand comes up and there's just dry
on the other side. Okay. And the water
continues to rise and
you put your head through the surface.
You didn't even have to hold your breath.
(31:54):
You see this huge
cavern. What a tool.
Who invited this guy?
I don't really know why he
is being all dramatic like that. I don't
know why either. He's very dramatic in every
little thing he does. Have you ever noticed he's
always out of breath? Yeah.
(32:16):
That's true. He tries kissing people.
He's not dramatic
and I'm a fire dragon. Hold on.
He's coming. He's literally
right next to you guys in the water.
But you see this large cavern.
Where are the other three
monsters?
I'd rather not.
You left them in the dust. Well I'm just saying
(32:38):
aren't they going to come after us? I'm pretty
speedy. Cool.
I'm very scared about that. I feel
like there's water.
You guys are in the water.
Maybe we should
get out of the water. You see this beach
in front of you? I want to dry my clothes.
With another large clam
shell kind of nearby on the wall.
And this
(33:00):
pile of rocks jutting out from
the water next to you. And as you come
up you actually realize that you kind of
stand like the water beneath you just becomes
shore. Leading up
to this beach. How come
you guys are standing?
That's not cool.
I'm going to swim up to this beach.
Bernard is still doggy paddling.
(33:22):
I'll pick him up out of the water
a little bit so you can just put him back down.
Can I retrieve
the rope that's still around his waist?
When I yeeted him?
I mean I don't know Bernard what did you
do with the rope? Oh I tied
that shit back up and put it in my bag.
I only had mine though. I don't know
what happened to it.
(33:44):
But as you approach the shore and
you get to this beach with the large
clamshell similar to the one that you came
out of earlier.
Or you came into earlier.
I'm in.
I was waiting for it.
I'm winded. I thought it was going to be
Joey. I'm winded
with ten health. I am no mood for a joke
in manner. I kind
(34:06):
of want to sleep. That's fair.
You get on this beach and from the rocks
you see there is something in the water that
swims around a few times and then kind of climbs
and leaps up onto the rocks. It is a mermaid.
It's another eel. Everyone
quick.
I smell a brothel.
All the way down here.
(34:28):
I don't know. I'm kind of confused. Do you think it's
a brothel only for the heroes? What is that thing?
Do you think we got the membership?
Does that fish have tits? Are we?
Oh my god. Why?
What do you mean? Why would a fish have tits?
Excuse me.
Hold on. It's very rude.
I know. Hold on. It is rude.
Hold on. So you really think a fish has tits?
Look at...
(34:50):
Look right there.
That's very interesting.
I'm sorry. Who are you?
You see the wreck. Hello. I'm Galeana.
Congratulations
are in order I suppose. Are seashells
holding up? Yes.
Still on this.
Have you ever heard of Starbucks?
I've heard of Buckstar.
Ah.
(35:12):
The coffee place, right?
Yeah.
I like the jacquan.
That's my favorite too.
Welcome to the
final leg of your trials.
What?
What do you know about legs?
That's a good point.
To the final fin of your trials.
(35:34):
It's taken you
not too bad.
Just shy of two days.
Most people spend
two days in the maze. Two days?
The maze?
Just shy. That hurt.
Already been in here for two days?
Impossible. Just under
about 30 hours. Felt like an hour.
I feel fatigued enough.
(35:56):
You look it as well.
Thank you.
Do you know I'm 269 years
old? I had a feeling.
Oh, I have a feeling too.
Roll seduction if you're trying to hit on a stirmate.
She likes to
quandary.
(36:18):
It's a ten.
Interesting.
The hardest trial lies in front of you, unfortunately.
Oh, we have to fight you?
Okay.
You don't want to do that.
What's in front of you?
Points at the shell.
Alright, we're flying the shell today, guys.
(36:40):
That's what's behind the shell.
Oh.
What's behind your shells?
Wouldn't you like to know?
What is with you
tonight?
He just can't turn it off.
Is that your third leg?
What do you know about legs?
What is that?
Impressive.
(37:02):
One thing I need to teach you,
you always shoot your shot.
Don't touch me.
Ready to close.
I have a feeling you don't close very well.
Shut up about it.
You know I liked you at first.
But feel free
to rest.
There are some
healing waters here
(37:24):
if you need. Clearly it looks like
you do.
But your time is short.
I'd say it would take more than, no more than an hour.
Take more than an hour? Okay, I'll take an hour.
You just had to say short.
Well, that's from a perspective point.
I would recommend an hour, but
if you want to push your luck, you could take up to three.
Things in Esken are
(37:46):
quite grim.
Ah.
Alright, I healed for an hour
and a half. What do you guys think about that?
What do you guys want to believe?
So, the difference here is going to be between
if you want to take pretty much just a breather
again,
or you know, heal yourselves up with kits and stuff
like that. The difference is, if you take
three hours, you get to take a light rest.
(38:08):
Which gives you
more healing, would give you more mana.
And all sorts of
stuff like that. But
that will have some slight ramifications as far
as when you return. Yes.
The more time you take right now.
Do we really care about the people
back in Eskon? No, not really.
I mean, I hope the grass ticklers make it out alive.
Yeah, I mean, hell, they threw us
(38:30):
in jail. If we waited
long enough, maybe Betty will be
you know. Oh, you know what? I think we
should wait. I think she actually tried to come into
here. Oh my god.
The cell didn't open. I believe it.
Alright, so what
do you think, Wil?
Let's do half. Let's do
an hour and a half.
It really won't gain you anything.
(38:52):
It's either the one hour gets you something, or
three hours get you more.
This is tough.
Are you talking like full health, or what are you
talking about?
So I'm talking a breather
plus all roll 3d6 plus
five. You know what? I'm kind of
I'll take you on that. I kind of want to do three.
It's pretty
janky. Morgana will get 3d6
(39:14):
plus willpower times three and magic back at
that point also.
I don't know how much help
we would be if we didn't survive
this. Yeah, this next trial is not
the thing it hearted. You know,
I don't feel like dying on this adventure.
I would hope you wouldn't, otherwise
Escan is, what's the word?
Bucked, if you like to put it.
You'd hope I wouldn't die, huh?
(39:36):
So anyway, warrior.
Enough. A man with
one shoe. Can you tell us anything more about the
trials that are ahead? Yeah, you need bow shoes.
Any hints? Anything. So you guys
take the three hour? I think we're gonna
take three hour. Yes, I'll take the three hour. Well, come take
a break. Rest your wary bones.
And then you go into the pool and you're all
pretty much hot.
You won't chill
(39:58):
out with us? I can speak with you.
Now every day we get to talk to a mermaid.
That's fair.
Lost breed.
Even though, technically I'm not a mermaid.
What are you?
I'm an aspect of Hamella herself.
You mean you
are a piece of a God?
That's a way of putting it, yes.
So are you like the conscious of a god? Are you like the shape of the body or soul?
(40:21):
You can write with a part.
Ah, okay.
Hard, huh?
Um...
So if it's something like do we find like all ten moments and put it together?
Do we actually find the whole god or what?
No, the presence of Habela is meant to depart these lands soon.
That sucks.
What if we succeed?
Well, you'll be the last ones to take up the remaining blessings.
(40:44):
So, so either god only has so many blessings or they just go kaput?
Well, in this situation, yes.
What's here is here and nothing else will be given.
I'll pour some wine for everybody, including the mermaid.
Thank you.
Yeah.
This is nice.
Yeah, just bubbles in the hot tub.
I'd like to just sneak a little closer to the mermaid.
(41:09):
Go ahead and roll seduction again.
The Tien's ire.
No, no, sneak.
No, you're doing a seduction test.
But is the wine helping in his favor?
I guess I can roll a tolerance for her, but...
(41:31):
Yeah, she holds her wine.
Yeah, she's part of a god, dude.
Does Eleven do anything?
She kind of like scoots closer to Argonne.
So, if Abela leaves and everything, does that mean you'll leave too or are you still here?
Well, I'm one of the parts that stays.
The last connection for the Waverunners.
(41:51):
So what is a Waverunner?
There's night guys up top.
The blessed of Abela.
Okay.
I impart her blessings onto them, give them protection on the seas,
allow them extra protections near the seas.
Is there anything you can tell us about the next trials that lie ahead?
(42:13):
It's not for me.
We have three hours to chill, man.
Yeah, we don't need all three of them.
Yes, we do have three hours for every moment that we spend down here.
Our lives, innocent lives, are being taken.
We cannot take this next trial lightly.
We must come up with a game plan.
Yeah, I'll call and get all my health back, man.
(42:36):
I'm not looking too good over here.
Do you want to heal first?
Will that make you more relaxed?
All right, so go ahead and take your breather.
I'm falling over here.
I'm falling.
Dude, that's hot.
And you will all get an additional 14 healing.
On top of what you got from the breather.
So if we get to full health, it just.
(42:57):
Yes, full health.
Yes, full health, even if these are magical waters.
It's just full health.
Maybe if you had seduced the mermaid.
Oh, that would have been really good.
Are your pants off?
Are you praying?
Yeah, your pants on in the water.
That's weird.
He's all in with pants on.
You have shirt off now.
(43:20):
For the first time.
Shirt off, pants on in the water.
I had both my shoes.
But the more time you spend here, the worse off Esken gets.
There's more threat than just balding here at play.
Yeah, but if we're not our best, we will necessarily perform well.
Essentially, the next challenge is meant to keep trespassers out.
(43:44):
It'll be a challenge, to say the least.
You need to brave your courage and hold true to whatever you hold true to.
Clearly isn't Habela.
I'm sorry.
Not after you totally dissed me.
I was open, but I closed my legs.
Do you know?
(44:05):
Also, be sure to...
She doesn't ignore you.
Be sure to steal your mines as well.
All of you struggled in that maze.
Steal?
Not steal cutouts.
I thought you said we got through it pretty quick.
Well, you got through it, but you were rounding the days from the deep dreads for over a day.
(44:31):
Good.
You have some deep traumas or...
Sorry about that.
Well.
Oh, shit, now she reminds me.
I'm tense again.
You're not strong of mind as you might need to be for this trial.
You know, for a god...
You make a lot of sense, actually.
(44:53):
I don't know why you dissing us quite a bit.
I feel personally attacked twice now.
Yeah.
But thank you for the warning.
How exactly do you think I should up my mind game?
Or could you say head game?
Roll seduction again.
(45:13):
I'm not sure if he's trying to seduce the mermaid or Ben.
It's a little bit of both.
It's ten again.
It's ten.
She's just not even making eye contact with you.
Just talking to the group.
(45:36):
What's the game, man?
To steal your minds better, I would say you need to let go of the past or find a way to remedy what hurts you.
Four of you together can help each other.
A hair group therapy is pretty effective.
All right.
So as soon as we get out of here, we'll find you a academy so you can go ahead and practice your magic.
(46:00):
And we'll take therapy sessions.
Yeah, we'll go find a therapist.
I think she means right now.
So my name's Bernard.
All right.
Hi, Bernard.
Hi, Bernard.
I have a trauma.
There's this one time where I don't want to bore you with the whole story because we only have three hours here.
But once upon a time when I was born, you guys want to recount what you saw in the water as you can.
(46:26):
And you all heard it.
Anyway, you know, that pirate guy, I originally tried to assassinate him and then just went wrong.
And, you know, the dude that I was trying to raise and, you know, one of the night captain, the eyes,
I let him down a little bit and he got pretty sad and I might have shed a few tears.
(46:47):
And I think those were things definitely use that against me and totally bit me.
Well, how long ago was the, you know, you find a pirate?
Frickin years.
60.
60.
I'm 269.
You can move.
(47:07):
Can I cover her?
Like put my arm around him like, I kind of like, don't throw him right now.
It's OK.
You guys don't know he got that secrets between them.
I thought you said he came.
Like swooshing past us like, you don't know he got thrown.
Oh, he just got sucked in.
(47:28):
That is a secret.
I appreciate you comforting me.
Please don't throw me again.
That was actually pretty entertaining.
Oh, you saw that.
I saw.
Oh, I saw it all again.
What happened to the first time?
What do you mean you threw him?
Oh, it's like a little football.
Oh, here I can show you and she gives you an instant replay.
(47:50):
Hold on.
Hold on.
Can you even tie him?
Why would you throw him?
Well, I thought I tied the knot.
All right.
Hold on.
You didn't even take out your rope.
But we went to the moment where he's about to grab
grabbing real quick and see how he moves his hand past the rope
and actually just grips him.
All right.
All right.
Now move a little forward.
This is where he throws him.
(48:11):
All right.
Never went back and do the whole thing over.
I could watch it for hours.
I really want Rob Dyrdek to come out and start playing with this.
But as you guys unload your backstories to each other,
(48:34):
get a little bit more familiar.
No, I'm sad.
Are we like more comfortable now that we kind of said out loud?
It's up to you guys.
I mean, you also can say if you don't want to talk about it.
I mean, I'm swimming with my pants off for the moment.
I'm pretty comfortable.
I'll talk about mine, but I'll get choked up
and I just pull myself a bigger glass of wine.
(48:55):
All right.
He's not talking.
How about you, Morgan?
I'll talk about it to the extent of without mentioning
it was actually death magic.
Have you got saying it was a type of magic that wasn't supposed to be fair enough.
Wow.
That was really deep.
That's intense.
That's some naughty shit.
Wow.
Listen, he up and on.
(49:18):
One last little detail I want to just share.
I kind of thought of that night captain as my own son
because, you know, Bernard Jr. kind of is a disappointment.
What was he saying?
Do tax collector.
That's going to put my hand on his shoulder.
That physically hurt me.
(49:39):
Me too.
Real life.
I am very sorry.
Yeah.
Anyway, I kind of let the night captain down
and I'm stuck with the tax collector son.
You know what?
I feel better about mine.
Mine was a war with two clans and we're killing each other.
I feel so much better.
Nice.
My people got sick from going into.
(50:01):
Well, not necessarily my clan, but people that we're fighting against now.
Usually we have a lines with they went to a demon realm, came back,
they weren't right, we didn't really like other point of views.
And then we just been at war.
I'm going to be honest, they sound a little bit.
How about you, Mr. Maho Maho?
(50:22):
Did you have a big old trip under my whole?
Yes.
Now I got to ask, are you like the lone survivor of your people or what?
No.
All right.
So it's everyone there actually doesn't wear pants.
Yes, we all do wear pants.
We take off our pants and custom to praise in our God.
I mean.
All right.
Do all you people fight with no pants on or miss?
(50:45):
I how is how's the arrangements with your armor when you guys go to battle?
What is the obsession with the pants?
I don't understand.
It weirds me out.
He prays with no pants on.
It's just it's throwing me for a loop.
It's just a custom.
These guys pants on in the waters and he's only took off a shirt.
I just they're called the pants prayers.
I don't understand.
Sorry about the racial slur, but you know, why is it really a surprise for me?
(51:08):
Yeah.
Oh, love it was.
All right.
We just wear thick thick armor, thick leather and, you know, a lot of clothes.
Oh, he's thick.
All right.
I want to pull for the mermaid here in your direction.
It's not how this works.
No, the water temperature is rising.
(51:29):
I'll turn the bubbles back on.
Sorry.
That's that's that's my tent.
Damn.
Oh, you're pitching a tent, huh?
I'm trying to, but I don't know how.
Well, I think I'll take my leave unless you have any other actual questions of me.
Oh, I don't leave me alone.
(51:49):
What's your best advice?
Is there any way we can kill these pirates?
Oh, I was talking about the next trial.
Well, as I said, the trial is meant to test you meant to kill you if you're not worthy.
And just hold true to each other and work as a team.
Actually, I do got a question.
If we get out of here, do we exit and I'll see you if you get out again.
(52:14):
Oh, I know that.
But come back here.
Oh, OK.
So I was going to say if we actually leave and maybe use a clam to actually exit to where
we actually came in.
So, you know, we're going to have to get out of here.
Exit to where we actually came in, so, you know, we're still back in a temple.
So you're saying you want to see me again.
You know, I'm very surprised.
I think you're unfortunately.
(52:35):
You're growing on it.
She's talking to you now.
As far as the pirates go, you know, Bella tried to entrap him in his evil ways.
He found a way out.
Suppose you find how he got out.
You can put him back.
I have to deal with a heart and love and shit.
Can we just kill him?
(52:56):
They go to Oregon.
Do we really have to imprison this man?
He's done so many bad things.
Can we just kill him?
Well, see, he suffers from curse of the deep.
He actually cannot die off the ocean.
And he rarely comes to land for that reason.
Can we drag his ass to the land?
It's a possibility.
(53:16):
We'll drag him here, drag him to the land, and beat definitely the shit out of him.
How good will a jar of dirt be in this situation?
Not good at all.
We might be able to use it to break a box.
So I mean, if you put two yards of dirt on the ship and put him on the dirt.
Nothing would happen.
I was always one of those good clocks, you know, I'm saying, oh, what does this happen?
(53:40):
Our fourth ocean, let's see.
Yeah, it's just on dry land.
He is killed and his blood touches the land.
He will die.
Curse will break.
All right.
So a dragon is asked to land everybody.
Kid Lure, I mean, how do you know it was a dragon?
Wait, I said we can drag him in.
(54:00):
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What did you say about dragons?
I have to go.
Good luck with the water.
Wait, do you like dragons?
Hold on.
There's three other creatures down there.
She's already gone.
You guys are in this cavern and she departs.
The shell slowly opens.
All right.
So we're fighting a part that is also a dragon.
(54:22):
So we're fighting a dragon part.
No, I think that's once we beat the trials.
I'm so confused now.
I've never seen a dragon in anybody.
I've only seen drawings.
That's a freaking dragon right there.
Thank you.
That's the second time that's happened.
That's a drop where two people have talked and said the same thing about the dragon.
(54:44):
The same thing at the same time.
Oh, really?
Does it sound good on recording?
It's amazing.
I just can't believe that that's literally the second time that that's happened.
Thank you for tuning in.
She doesn't have wings.
She's got, you know, she's a bipedal.
You can show me wings.
Did you just call me?
You're a bipedal.
A what?
What does that even mean?
(55:04):
It means you walk on two legs.
Well, yes, I have two legs.
There you go.
You're bipedal.
He's bipedal.
You're a bipedal.
I'm a tricycle over here, mate.
I'll tell you again.
Six, seven.
I think that's a six, seven.
She is six, seven.
(55:26):
I know.
That is large.
It's very hard to kind of scales and breathe fire.
You don't understand.
Or more convincing do you need?
This is indeed a dragon person.
Her rack is right.
I love every time she stands next to me and talks to me.
It's like right there.
It's very hard and it's bad for my neck.
So I have to.
I talked to her as I talked to everybody.
(55:47):
Just look straight.
OK, it's even weird when Bernard talks to me
because I actually just continue looking straight.
And I don't even look down.
It's right at your crotch.
It's not that much shorter than you.
I still don't look down.
(56:07):
OK, what do you guys want to do?
Say we face the trials.
I think we should stick together.
I think we should tie ourselves together with rope.
I think let me tie the knot first.
Absolutely not.
No, you don't get to touch the rope.
I saw the replay about 35 times.
I said, oh, sorry.
(56:28):
It's still going.
Yes, I told you before.
I was like, can you please still play the background?
Can you please look at that video?
And that is exactly why you don't get to touch the rope.
Oh, look.
I'm sorry.
She's got TV.
Oh, all the all the channels are the same thing.
I can just turn up the volume.
Do you rather do a mermaid that's half fish on top or have her bottom half?
(56:49):
OK.
You know what?
I actually take the reverse.
I think top half fish, nice legs and ass at the bottom.
Then you have something to plug up holes.
This is good stuff to think about because if it's like fish in the bottom,
do all she does is you guys against the clock.
Oh, the game.
That's the moment.
(57:09):
It's bad.
I knew you were here.
You're me.
So we jump in the clam, so to speak.
No, I'm kind of scared.
All right.
Because she said the trials behind the
you're letting a draft in close the shell or come in.
I'd like to come in here.
Shall we?
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go.
(57:30):
To infinity.
You guys walk over the shelf.

Chapter 8 The Trials of Hamella Part 2
(00:16):
So after that attack we are in initiative order starting with Bernard.
Holy shit what is that thing?
I'd like to take out my rapier and stabby stabby.
Okay before you do that as you take it out you realize that uh...
Holy crap you're tired.
You don't know how long you've been wandering around in this daze.
(00:38):
Take a level of fatigue.
I am very very sleepy.
I wish I had jiquan roast.
You're winded so you have a minus one penalty to all tests you cannot run or charge.
I rolled a five four three.
Is a sixteen hit.
Yes it does.
Woohoo.
(01:00):
I'm so tired.
And then it's one d six plus three.
Um it is.
Damn.
I rolled a one.
Jeez.
So that's a four.
Okay.
I didn't really stabby stabby I just kind of poked it.
(01:22):
Yeah your body is definitely like done.
Two hundred sixty nine really catch up to you in this trial thing.
Anything else for a minor action.
I'd like to uh...
I guess I can't really sleep right here.
Um can I guard up?
Sure.
Yes.
I'm just gonna take this thing head on.
(01:44):
Uh oh.
Uh barren I'll take us to you as you're in the same type of situation.
Understood. Winded.
Yeah everyone will start winded.
I'm gonna do something stupid here.
I'm gonna pull out my weapon and then I'm gonna activate Berserker.
That's my turn.
Okay. That works.
Uh.
Morgana.
Yeah where's the berserker now?
(02:06):
Do I hear that?
No.
Um actually.
Roll perception hearing.
Everyone or just Morgana?
Everyone.
I rolled a thirteen with
minus one counted.
Uh fourteen.
Sixty.
Yeah.
(02:28):
Everyone hears the berserker noise.
Sounds pretty faint.
What are your dragon dies?
Six.
Bernard and Argon.
You can tell the direction that it came from.
Morgana you definitely get a general sense.
From where you are you would know that you would actually want to go forward at the very least.
You guys know that you would be like going forward right?
(02:52):
Like you know can hear the echo and exactly kind of where it came from.
Alright.
So that is Morgana's turn.
Oh I still have a turn?
Yeah.
Um I'd like to cast
Icy Grip.
Cool.
On the worm.
If that wasn't clear.
So is it a
(03:14):
figure of
our imagination of the
memory we just experienced?
So that's what it started as and then it like the body of
that memory opened up into
a maw of just like teeth.
My god dude this is the
thing. Yeah blood red colored.
Seventeen.
Yeah that probably casts.
Minus one but yeah it casts at
(03:36):
twelve. It's going to be a constitution
stamina versus spell power.
It's a seventeen. Oh that
beats.
Um.
Six.
After that it does make the
test on its turn.
Okay so that would be at the beginning of its turn
it would make the test. Yeah.
(03:58):
Okay so it would end that turn. And then if it fails then it ends.
But yeah it'll end on him since I already
rolled it. Right.
Six okay.
Any minor actions?
I guess I'll start
moving in the
direction I heard the buzzer.
The buzzer.
Okay. As best as I can.
Cool. That'll take us
(04:20):
to our gun.
It is a friendly. Right up on you. I just attacked you.
Okay just attacked me. Yep.
So you come out of your super after game bit and then you
see this thing just
in front of you and you hear barren freaking
out. I like
to attack it with my helper.
I do have devil
seven plus five. Twelve
does not hit. Damn it. Yeah.
(04:42):
You swing out at this thing to no avail.
Which will take us
back to them.
First one starting with Bernard.
It's gonna have the uh
go ahead and make a lash attack at you.
It's a nineteen
hit.
Oh yes it very much does.
It's okay no stunt points.
I'm still concerned.
(05:04):
That'll be nine damage.
Next one at you barren.
Help.
Is it an eleven hit?
No. Wait no.
I did the berserker so yes it does.
Okay with three stunt points.
Bring it.
It's gonna try to grab you.
So go ahead and take nine damage
(05:26):
first.
Making a
accuracy brawling.
Accuracy brawling.
Trying to beat a fourteen.
No that's
a twelve. Alright.
So it grabs you. Get off me.
It wraps around you and kind of
constricts on you like a snake.
We have Morgana getting an attack
(05:48):
next. A lash attack
that's a sixteen
to hit. Yes it hits.
No stunts.
Eight damage.
And
argon yours.
Is a
seventeen to hit.
I assume it does.
Yes.
(06:10):
And you'll take
six damage.
Damn. None of this penetrating of course.
But that'll take us back to Bernard.
Oh I'm so
tired.
I'm just gonna run.
I heard my friend going crazy over there.
Just you know the sketchy one.
Um. The sketchy.
I'm gonna run.
(06:32):
Okay yeah you can make two movements.
Morgana or no barn.
I'm gonna break out.
I don't want to be in here anymore.
I won't get out of the hug.
Was that
not possible? What if she gave you a kiss?
No.
So I'll get out of here so I can go ahead and hit it.
I mean you can still hit it
from there but you can't move away from it until the end
(06:54):
of its turn. Oh that's fine.
I like to aim and then hit.
So that minus one doesn't affect.
Go for it.
That was close but it hits.
How do you know?
Because does an eighteen hit?
Oh yeah.
No it's a twenty defense.
Alright.
(07:16):
His ass is grass.
I learned that from the grass tickles.
Alright.
Fifteen damage.
Holy crap.
Yeah you definitely
hunk a piece of it off.
That'll take us back to Morgana.
Yeah I'd like to just
run in the
direction I think I heard.
(07:38):
Okay.
Go ahead and roll
intelligence navigation.
That's a seventeen minus
one. Sixteen.
Dragon type. A two.
Okay.
You definitely succeed.
And you think you can
start to hear like some struggling
(08:00):
and a weapon going against
flesh.
As you leave this creature behind you.
Argon.
Is there any way I can take my
health kit?
So the way healing kits
work is you cannot use
them to heal yourself.
You can only heal allies
with healing actions and healing
(08:22):
kits.
But you know moving is always
an option. You know where
Baron is. Yeah I think I will go ahead
and move in that direction to try to
aid him.
You're pretty close.
You can tell
you start just looking at you move.
You get over and then you're like oh it's bright. He's right around
the corner.
(08:44):
And
Argon bring aid from Gondor.
The beacons are lit.
Gondor calls for aid.
That'll take us back to these guys.
Bernard you
double moved.
You betcha baby I did.
So yeah you're running.
Baron. I'm scared.
It's up on and grabbing you.
(09:06):
It's going to use its minor action to continue
to try to grab you and keep you here. So go ahead
and make another brawling test.
That's a no. But don't worry I'm
not going anywhere. 14
still has you grabbed. It's tack.
It's going to go ahead and bite you since it has you.
13 to hit.
(09:28):
Sorry.
12. 12 to hit.
Still hits. Okay.
No stun points. Oh that's
only nine damage.
Next up we have Morgana.
You double moved. You're just running.
Argon you ran
as well.
Double moves. So Bernard
back to you.
(09:50):
Am I
in a chase or not?
So because you can't run you cannot be in a chase.
Oh I see. That's also
a good thing. I'm scared still.
Yeah but you pretty much know where you're
supposed to be heading but it's a little distant
at this point. I'm still
running. Running running. As much as I can I guess.
Okay.
Oh no.
(10:12):
Let's make this fun. Go ahead and do an acrobatics test
for me. Acrobatics
where I'm fatigued.
Oh man.
Alright.
I roll like shit.
I got two ones and a two.
There's a
four minus one is a three
and then I have three on dexterity.
Yeah you fell that hard but I'm sorry.
(10:34):
Oh.
So as
you're running and going you
realize that the walls next to you are
also kind of still water so you're kind of
just in a box of what's of water
against gravity from the ceiling and on
the walls and you see a figure
of like a slithering next to you.
I hope it's not
an eel. I freaking hate eels after
(10:56):
that experience.
Alright that'll take us to Marcana. Let's
do the same thing.
Because I assume you're going to keep moving.
Yes.
Oh jeez.
It's a seven. Okay.
Yeah you're clear. You just are moving.
I rolled like absolute dog shit.
Yes.
Argon will do the same
(11:18):
actually.
With your movement
you go around the corner and you see
Baran wrapped up in this
worm like thing. How far is he?
About eight yards from you.
I could shoot it with my bow to
at least try to hit it
or distract it.
Try to release its grip.
I will say you will have to pull out your bow
(11:40):
as another minor action. But you're
definitely ready to fire. Okay.
That'll take us back to these
creatures. Starting with
Bernard because it caught up with you.
Because it pops out of the water.
Did you go
that round? No I haven't done anything
yet. Oh yeah you didn't.
It's okay. It's still hugging him.
It usually goes before me. Yeah I'll cut it back
(12:02):
then. No worries.
Yeah because I skipped because of Bernard. Sorry.
Yeah Baran go ahead and attack.
That was a ten.
No it's not hit.
Okay.
It's okay that's why he skipped you.
He knew you wouldn't hit. So now
we'll have the attack against Bernard.
It was a 19.
Oh.
(12:24):
Why does this always happen to me?
I just dropped my coffee.
So it just comes out and just like
rips its body around to deal
six damage to you.
Next up is the one against
Baran. It'll continue to
keep you grabbed so we can see if you break free
I guess.
You're trying to beat
a 11. No
(12:46):
that was a ten. Easy man.
It'll attack you with another bite.
Is that a 17 to hit?
No stunts. You guys are getting lucky
on the stunts at least. That's going to be 13.
I don't know if this is what you would call
lucky.
I feel so lucky to
be fatigued and so lucky.
Not able to run and getting
this bitten all the time.
(13:08):
Damn Morgana you were good.
So you don't get attacked.
And Argon you outran
yours and are now with Baran so you're good.
Which takes two of Bernard's turn.
Um.
I'm running.
Please.
Let me run. Let's go ahead and give you another acrobatics test
to see if you can outrun it again.
(13:30):
It's only a nine.
Yeah.
I'm so fatigued. You got a 14 so
you see this figure is now on the other side
swimming right up with you.
Why do you swim so fast?
What are you?
Unfortunately these guys don't talk.
They're monsters.
Which will take us to
Marga. I'm just kidding.
(13:52):
Baran.
I was kind of expecting it.
Do you want to aim?
No I don't need to.
11
16
16 to hit. Yes.
Damn.
21. Why did you say damn to that?
I wanted all sixes.
(14:14):
Jesus.
Yeah this thing is
freaking messed up man.
Good lord.
I'm not doing too hot. You monster.
I am.
Marga that will be your turn.
I'd like to keep running. Moving.
So you
can start here and now. Actually as you come around
a corner you see someone standing there with their bow
(14:36):
drawn. As you get closer you see
that it is Argon as you approach him.
Hello.
And that was both minor actions to get there?
Oh hey. Hello there.
Hello.
Which will take us to
Argon. Argon.
Which now you can aim if you want.
Yes. Please. Aim and fire.
That will negate your negative
(14:58):
one.
Damn that's right the negative one.
Hang on.
That's a plus two. So 11.
That's a nine. Damn it.
I'm sorry. I am trying.
Just the arrow.
It's over
there.
You do it. Listen to the reaction
from the creature just looks at you
(15:20):
physically. I look at him.
I shake my hand I'm like right.
Takes us back to these guys.
Unfortunately Bernard
it did catch up to you so you're gonna
be the target of another
attack. I really hope this doesn't
hit.
That's a 12.
No I have 13
(15:42):
defense. Cause you're a little shield.
Even as you're running 14 with the shield.
Yeah so you put your little shell shield up
and it kind of comes out and just dink out of the water
and you're like. I knew this thing would
come in handy. That was two ones and a
six on the dragon dice. That would have really sucked
if it hadn't hit.
I would have died actually.
I'll tell you the truth here.
Next one is Barnes.
(16:04):
I have a question.
So gnomes can have
they can see up to 20 yards
in the darkness without a light source.
Yeah you have dark vision. If I take
my light source away
can this guy still see me?
That's a good question. You'll have to find
out. Can you do a little sniffy sniff?
I mean if he's
in the water it's hard to say if he could see
(16:26):
out of it if there wasn't light.
Yeah next turn.
I'll hit you up on that.
So Barnes
this one's gonna attack you. Another bite.
Now.
We'll
Yes. It'll continue to keep you
grabbed or try to so I guess we'll start with accuracy.
Oh.
(16:48):
That's a 11.
13. You break free. It's unable to keep
its hold on you. You've done so much
damage to it.
But does a
Yes. 16 hit.
No stunts. What do you have? 10 defense
right now. Yeah. I get minus 2 defense
but I also get a plus 2 to
damage when I'm berserk.
(17:10):
It hurts. Just knocked me out right now.
15 damage.
Oh damn. That almost got me
down. Yes it lets you go
you reel back and get your foot in and it's right behind you
with a jaw clamp.
Uh Mark gonna
so with one more move
you can well actually
you're at the same spot as Argon so yeah you see
barren get free of this creature.
(17:34):
I will flame blast.
You know you still can breathe
fire right? Can you like
cook them?
I'm over here if you can't tell I'll move
alright. No? Is that a
no? I don't want to breathe fire.
I just like to flame
blast. Yeah you can do that.
(17:56):
That's a 16 minus
15. So that hits
the target number.
Can I see this? You said I was
8 yards away from him correct? Yeah.
And I have enough aim that I could aim
and not hit barn.
Because he just not grabbed anymore? Yeah you're fine.
Uh Bernard I will let you know.
Okay.
And then can you
(18:18):
make a dexterity? Acrobatics.
That is a
15.
Just passes. You had to beat a 14.
That's 5
fire damage. You roast it
and it's so hurt. So so hurt.
Which will take us back to
(18:40):
Argon. Don't
miss again.
Am I in striking
distance for my two handed sword?
You would have to move and switch your weapon.
So that would be your whole turn.
But you'd be able to get there probably. Okay.
I'll do that. Okay.
Yeah you go up to it with your two handed sword.
Because barn's bloody and beat.
I'm coming.
(19:02):
That's kind of sick
dude.
Honestly I don't need you to do that.
Can you just hit him
for me? Hang on I'll get there.
Please tell him you got your pants on.
I can't quite tell.
This takes us back to these guys.
It's really just the one on Baron at this point.
That's triple
(19:24):
threes. That's a 16 against you
barn. Oh dude I'm gonna go down.
With four
stunt points. There's no way I can
get out of that. You knocked me out.
He's gonna lightning attack and skirmish.
So it will
go ahead and bite and throw you. Which
you're gonna take. Oh.
Eight damage.
I'm down. Yeah.
(19:46):
Yeah it knocks you unconscious.
Lightning attack on you
argon.
Damn.
Does a 12 hit?
No it does not.
So like it strikes out
and tosses Baron aside and then comes
another strike to you and you just block it with
your sword. Okay. So Bernard
so yeah. Cause you approach another kind of
(20:08):
fork you do see this flame
burst to one side.
I would like to put out my light.
Yes you run in the dark just before it's
drying.
Morgana. Where do you go?
Do you want a stealth?
Yes.
I very much like that. Yeah go for it.
Oh
dog shit roll again.
(20:30):
I just want magic
wine coffee. That was an eight.
Okay. Yeah Morgana
you just have Bernard all wet and bloody
run up to you and like try to hide behind your leg.
I'm so glad to see a friend.
Please help.
I could if
I could. Alright.
I'll take us to Baron.
So go ahead and roll a
(20:52):
constitution stamina test.
Cause you are dying.
15. You are unconscious.
You passed the test. You are
no longer dying. That's better.
So you're just out but you are
stable. Yay!
This will take us to Morgana. I'd like
to arcane blast.
(21:14):
Go for it.
Nine.
That does not hit. Anything else for you?
Minor actions? Nope I'm good.
Argon try it up on you.
I'd like to
attack with my
two handed sword. Do it.
Nine
plus five
on the attack roll. So that's 14?
(21:36):
Yes.
Go with the minus one.
13. Does not hit.
Fuuuuck!
I'm sorry.
Anything for a minor action?
Yeah you're just
finally feeling the strain of your body
weighing on you.
Yeah you're just out of breath
even though you seem to be winded from pretty much everything.
(21:58):
I know! This whole campaign!
I'm just fucking slow.
But it is going
to attack you. It's going to aim first.
I don't really think it needs it.
It's a 14 to hit.
Yes.
No stunts for
14 damage.
Fuck!
That takes us to Bernard.
(22:20):
So yeah you see more
Argon getting fucked up by this.
Barnes on the ground dead you presume.
I'm
very concerned right now.
Let's see.
I want to check and see what I have on me.
Real fast.
Water skin. Leather armor.
I'll save that for later.
Oh my smoking pipe.
(22:42):
Oh no.
My spy glass.
My coffee cup.
There's a couple sips left in my coffee cup.
I'm definitely going to sip that shit.
This is how much he loves Barnes.
That is my healing kit.
I would like to sip my coffee and go to Barnes
without my light and try to stealth.
Yeah he has his own healing kit.
I would like to sip my coffee and go to Barnes
(23:04):
without my light and try to stealth.
Yeah he has his light so.
It's illuminated in here.
I mean you failed your stealth check
against this creature. He knows you're there.
I'm going to chug this coffee
a little bit. You can still get to Baron
and try to heal him. And try to get to Baron.
Yeah yeah. Okay so go ahead and roll a healing test.
Gosh!
Damn it!
(23:26):
Oh no.
I got a freaking
I got a six.
That's not enough. You get up and it's
bad.
Fuck.
All you hear is
of the duct tape and it's just sticking to him.
Yeah you can't tear the gauze apart.
Is this stuff cut or?
It's just one big sheet of linen.
(23:48):
I don't understand what's going on.
Which will take us
to Baron who's unconscious
so you're just there.
Morgana.
At least you don't have to roll.
You're not dying.
At least I don't get skipped.
He's like there on the ground like Yumcha.
At least I'm not
getting skipped.
(24:10):
I will flame
blast again. Okay go for it.
Oh shit. Nine.
Nine plus six. Fifteen
or fourteen.
Well you flame blast such your TM.
Oh yeah. It succeeds.
It succeeds.
And then it'll be a
six. Yes.
(24:32):
Is a. Need to beat a
fourteen. That's a sixteen.
Oh.
These things are dex-y. But.
Still takes damage. That was four stunt points.
Oh. Which.
Are you gonna double
flame breath.
So for the first one
he takes five damage.
Okay he succeeds on the
(24:54):
acro on the flame breath as well. So just one
die.
Five damage.
The only time she uses her breath attack
is when I'm all knocked out.
Yeah as you just unleash fire
from your hands and then add your breath
into it into this huge fireball.
Becomes like a dragon head in itself and just
envelops and destroys this creature.
Fuck yeah. Good job.
(25:16):
It's fucking sick. Thank you.
And then my ghostly form goes right back
into my heart. Oh that's fucking
cool. You guys
get it. I was in third person.
Saw the whole thing.
His ghost was riding
though. Go ahead and end combat
there.
Good job guys you didn't die. That ends
(25:38):
the combat. Yeah.
You outran your other ones. Does that
mean I get a breather? It does.
I'd like to just leave you knocked out.
Actually Aron. Unfortunately you
don't. What?
What happened? What do you mean?
Can someone please get some duct tape?
I'm trying. I'm trying.
Can I attempt to heal him?
Can someone else get the duct tape and his scissors?
(26:02):
Anyone even the creature
do you have any duct tape and scissors?
But everyone else go ahead
take a breather.
Now what does a breather do exactly?
Stirring our breather can I major action heal him?
Yes you guys can attempt to heal him pretty much.
So each healing kit you have
what do we decide on? Three uses?
Two uses. Two uses? Two uses?
Uh huh. Succeed or fail
(26:24):
you only have two uses. Is the
healer's kit the heal?
Yeah heal action. Okay.
I'd like to use
the healer's kit on Byron. Yeah.
You guys are all exhausted and
we're gonna go over to try to bandage up Byron.
Oh no.
Well apparently I need to sleep before I try
to heal you.
(26:46):
That's an eight.
Oh jeez.
Honestly stop wasting your medical supplies
just use the health potion in my pouch.
Go through my shit.
I mean I don't know if they...I mean everyone saw you
get the health potion. Yeah everyone saw all the goodies.
Catching your breath.
Does anyone else want to attempt to heal
Byron?
He also has his own two healer kits.
(27:08):
Can I look through his bag? Sure.
Holy shit there's
another kitten here.
I'm gonna try to use that. Oh wait
there's a potion.
I kinda want that for myself.
I'll use
the potion on him. You're gonna feed him
the potion? Yes. Okay.
So that'll recover 3d6
plus your constitution.
(27:30):
I would like to slowly open his lips
and gently pour in
some potion and then...
I'd like to sniff it myself and just take a little
lick and then...
You know all of it's to him I just want to...
...
Do I roll
or do you roll?
You can roll. Who's rolling on who?
Whoever gets the
(27:52):
healing can roll their own healing.
Five...
...six...seven...
That's ten back.
Nice. Plus your constitution.
That was plus constitution. Oh man. Okay.
But you're alive! Yay!
For some reason none of us can roll
today. Good morning sweetheart!
That's gonna make this next part
not great if you guys are not rolling well already.
(28:14):
Damn it.
Hello? I'm sweating.
Hey! She's awake!
So as you guys are sitting in this maze
near Keeling Baron
barn you come back up. You do notice
from the light that the two
directions, cause you were kind of in the middle of like this
hall and there was still like maze everywhere.
See that
the walls where you would have gone in and out
(28:36):
are now water also. So you're now
actually in a box.
And then it starts to like
waterfall down slowly from all the corners
and starts to fill up the room.
A look up. Is there a
hole up there or anything like that?
Are we in a closed box? Oh, roll perception
if you like.
I would like to roll perception too. Yeah, go for it.
Seeing. Seeing or
(28:58):
searching cause you're actively looking.
Twelve.
Can we all roll it? Yeah. Whoever
wants to.
That's a fourteen. Oh, who?
No, I don't see anything.
You see the water rising.
Oh, shit.
Do I get any
MP back?
For a breather? You guys have not
(29:20):
sit around for long enough. Breathers don't provide it.
I didn't think so, but I figured it was
with double checking. I got a fifteen.
Fifteen. Nice.
Yes. Argon, you're the only
one to notice as you're looking around seeing the water you look up.
You see your arrow floating.
You can't retrieve
your arrow. Am I missing shoe?
You see
above you the shoe floating across the
(29:42):
ceiling. Son of a bitch.
But you see
the top of the ceiling here
looks like you're underwater.
So it looks like if you go through this it's not like
into like the deeper depths like the walls
but like you would surface somewhere.
Is it kind of like that
scene from Pirates of the Caribbean where
upside down was right side up?
When they were in the water? When I've
(30:04):
ever done anything like Pirates of the Caribbean.
I don't know.
You won't imagine it. Yes, it would probably be like that.
Okay. But you can tell like
it's like if you're underwater and you can see the surface
versus if you look and there's just more water
you know that that's like a surface above you
now. Okay.
Well thanks for bringing me up guys
but at the same time
looks like we're all gonna die.
(30:26):
Would you rather I just kill you?
I was gonna say I was gonna
if you didn't wake up and all this water
happened I'd have to drown you
and put you out of your misery.
Oh my gosh. But that's only if I feel pain.
I'm not a bitch.
Oh. Well either way you choke
in your sleep so you know.
Do you rather die by water in your sleep
like a little bitch or by a friend?
(30:48):
To be honest I'd rather
die just by
like lots of arrows on weapons
you know pulling at me.
Amen. Like a fire line.
I gave you that. You're welcome. I can give you the
fire part but I don't know about the fire line.
You know what I still haven't seen your
blue fire yet.
Well I don't know if it can actually happen.
I don't think so either. So at this point
(31:10):
the water has just kept
rising. You guys
just treading water? Um real quick did
anyone notice that they had a creature
or anything like that? Is this the only got contact
we had? Um we all had
a creature I think right? Or just me.
I got really messed up back there.
You did too? I had a creature
as well. Enough.
We don't have time for this. Follow me.
(31:32):
Can we swim towards
whoever I look at? I'm right next to you. You haven't moved yet.
Yeah the water keeps rising.
You are able to reach out to it and
your hand comes up and there's just dry
on the other side. Okay. And the water
continues to rise and
you put your head through the surface.
You didn't even have to hold your breath.
(31:54):
You see this huge
cavern. What a tool.
Who invited this guy?
I don't really know why he
is being all dramatic like that. I don't
know why either. He's very dramatic in every
little thing he does. Have you ever noticed he's
always out of breath? Yeah.
(32:16):
That's true. He tries kissing people.
He's not dramatic
and I'm a fire dragon. Hold on.
He's coming. He's literally
right next to you guys in the water.
But you see this large cavern.
Where are the other three
monsters?
I'd rather not.
You left them in the dust. Well I'm just saying
(32:38):
aren't they going to come after us? I'm pretty
speedy. Cool.
I'm very scared about that. I feel
like there's water.
You guys are in the water.
Maybe we should
get out of the water. You see this beach
in front of you? I want to dry my clothes.
With another large clam
shell kind of nearby on the wall.
And this
(33:00):
pile of rocks jutting out from
the water next to you. And as you come
up you actually realize that you kind of
stand like the water beneath you just becomes
shore. Leading up
to this beach. How come
you guys are standing?
That's not cool.
I'm going to swim up to this beach.
Bernard is still doggy paddling.
(33:22):
I'll pick him up out of the water
a little bit so you can just put him back down.
Can I retrieve
the rope that's still around his waist?
When I yeeted him?
I mean I don't know Bernard what did you
do with the rope? Oh I tied
that shit back up and put it in my bag.
I only had mine though. I don't know
what happened to it.
(33:44):
But as you approach the shore and
you get to this beach with the large
clamshell similar to the one that you came
out of earlier.
Or you came into earlier.
I'm in.
I was waiting for it.
I'm winded. I thought it was going to be
Joey. I'm winded
with ten health. I am no mood for a joke
in manner. I kind
(34:06):
of want to sleep. That's fair.
You get on this beach and from the rocks
you see there is something in the water that
swims around a few times and then kind of climbs
and leaps up onto the rocks. It is a mermaid.
It's another eel. Everyone
quick.
I smell a brothel.
All the way down here.
(34:28):
I don't know. I'm kind of confused. Do you think it's
a brothel only for the heroes? What is that thing?
Do you think we got the membership?
Does that fish have tits? Are we?
Oh my god. Why?
What do you mean? Why would a fish have tits?
Excuse me.
Hold on. It's very rude.
I know. Hold on. It is rude.
Hold on. So you really think a fish has tits?
Look at...
(34:50):
Look right there.
That's very interesting.
I'm sorry. Who are you?
You see the wreck. Hello. I'm Galeana.
Congratulations
are in order I suppose. Are seashells
holding up? Yes.
Still on this.
Have you ever heard of Starbucks?
I've heard of Buckstar.
Ah.
(35:12):
The coffee place, right?
Yeah.
I like the jacquan.
That's my favorite too.
Welcome to the
final leg of your trials.
What?
What do you know about legs?
That's a good point.
To the final fin of your trials.
(35:34):
It's taken you
not too bad.
Just shy of two days.
Most people spend
two days in the maze. Two days?
The maze?
Just shy. That hurt.
Already been in here for two days?
Impossible. Just under
about 30 hours. Felt like an hour.
I feel fatigued enough.
(35:56):
You look it as well.
Thank you.
Do you know I'm 269 years
old? I had a feeling.
Oh, I have a feeling too.
Roll seduction if you're trying to hit on a stirmate.
She likes to
quandary.
(36:18):
It's a ten.
Interesting.
The hardest trial lies in front of you, unfortunately.
Oh, we have to fight you?
Okay.
You don't want to do that.
What's in front of you?
Points at the shell.
Alright, we're flying the shell today, guys.
(36:40):
That's what's behind the shell.
Oh.
What's behind your shells?
Wouldn't you like to know?
What is with you
tonight?
He just can't turn it off.
Is that your third leg?
What do you know about legs?
What is that?
Impressive.
(37:02):
One thing I need to teach you,
you always shoot your shot.
Don't touch me.
Ready to close.
I have a feeling you don't close very well.
Shut up about it.
You know I liked you at first.
But feel free
to rest.
There are some
healing waters here
(37:24):
if you need. Clearly it looks like
you do.
But your time is short.
I'd say it would take more than, no more than an hour.
Take more than an hour? Okay, I'll take an hour.
You just had to say short.
Well, that's from a perspective point.
I would recommend an hour, but
if you want to push your luck, you could take up to three.
Things in Esken are
(37:46):
quite grim.
Ah.
Alright, I healed for an hour
and a half. What do you guys think about that?
What do you guys want to believe?
So, the difference here is going to be between
if you want to take pretty much just a breather
again,
or you know, heal yourselves up with kits and stuff
like that. The difference is, if you take
three hours, you get to take a light rest.
(38:08):
Which gives you
more healing, would give you more mana.
And all sorts of
stuff like that. But
that will have some slight ramifications as far
as when you return. Yes.
The more time you take right now.
Do we really care about the people
back in Eskon? No, not really.
I mean, I hope the grass ticklers make it out alive.
Yeah, I mean, hell, they threw us
(38:30):
in jail. If we waited
long enough, maybe Betty will be
you know. Oh, you know what? I think we
should wait. I think she actually tried to come into
here. Oh my god.
The cell didn't open. I believe it.
Alright, so what
do you think, Wil?
Let's do half. Let's do
an hour and a half.
It really won't gain you anything.
(38:52):
It's either the one hour gets you something, or
three hours get you more.
This is tough.
Are you talking like full health, or what are you
talking about?
So I'm talking a breather
plus all roll 3d6 plus
five. You know what? I'm kind of
I'll take you on that. I kind of want to do three.
It's pretty
janky. Morgana will get 3d6
(39:14):
plus willpower times three and magic back at
that point also.
I don't know how much help
we would be if we didn't survive
this. Yeah, this next trial is not
the thing it hearted. You know,
I don't feel like dying on this adventure.
I would hope you wouldn't, otherwise
Escan is, what's the word?
Bucked, if you like to put it.
You'd hope I wouldn't die, huh?
(39:36):
So anyway, warrior.
Enough. A man with
one shoe. Can you tell us anything more about the
trials that are ahead? Yeah, you need bow shoes.
Any hints? Anything. So you guys
take the three hour? I think we're gonna
take three hour. Yes, I'll take the three hour. Well, come take
a break. Rest your wary bones.
And then you go into the pool and you're all
pretty much hot.
You won't chill
(39:58):
out with us? I can speak with you.
Now every day we get to talk to a mermaid.
That's fair.
Lost breed.
Even though, technically I'm not a mermaid.
What are you?
I'm an aspect of Hamella herself.
You mean you
are a piece of a God?
That's a way of putting it, yes.
So are you like the conscious of a god? Are you like the shape of the body or soul?
(40:21):
You can write with a part.
Ah, okay.
Hard, huh?
Um...
So if it's something like do we find like all ten moments and put it together?
Do we actually find the whole god or what?
No, the presence of Habela is meant to depart these lands soon.
That sucks.
What if we succeed?
Well, you'll be the last ones to take up the remaining blessings.
(40:44):
So, so either god only has so many blessings or they just go kaput?
Well, in this situation, yes.
What's here is here and nothing else will be given.
I'll pour some wine for everybody, including the mermaid.
Thank you.
Yeah.
This is nice.
Yeah, just bubbles in the hot tub.
I'd like to just sneak a little closer to the mermaid.
(41:09):
Go ahead and roll seduction again.
The Tien's ire.
No, no, sneak.
No, you're doing a seduction test.
But is the wine helping in his favor?
I guess I can roll a tolerance for her, but...
(41:31):
Yeah, she holds her wine.
Yeah, she's part of a god, dude.
Does Eleven do anything?
She kind of like scoots closer to Argonne.
So, if Abela leaves and everything, does that mean you'll leave too or are you still here?
Well, I'm one of the parts that stays.
The last connection for the Waverunners.
(41:51):
So what is a Waverunner?
There's night guys up top.
The blessed of Abela.
Okay.
I impart her blessings onto them, give them protection on the seas,
allow them extra protections near the seas.
Is there anything you can tell us about the next trials that lie ahead?
(42:13):
It's not for me.
We have three hours to chill, man.
Yeah, we don't need all three of them.
Yes, we do have three hours for every moment that we spend down here.
Our lives, innocent lives, are being taken.
We cannot take this next trial lightly.
We must come up with a game plan.
Yeah, I'll call and get all my health back, man.
(42:36):
I'm not looking too good over here.
Do you want to heal first?
Will that make you more relaxed?
All right, so go ahead and take your breather.
I'm falling over here.
I'm falling.
Dude, that's hot.
And you will all get an additional 14 healing.
On top of what you got from the breather.
So if we get to full health, it just.
(42:57):
Yes, full health.
Yes, full health, even if these are magical waters.
It's just full health.
Maybe if you had seduced the mermaid.
Oh, that would have been really good.
Are your pants off?
Are you praying?
Yeah, your pants on in the water.
That's weird.
He's all in with pants on.
You have shirt off now.
(43:20):
For the first time.
Shirt off, pants on in the water.
I had both my shoes.
But the more time you spend here, the worse off Esken gets.
There's more threat than just balding here at play.
Yeah, but if we're not our best, we will necessarily perform well.
Essentially, the next challenge is meant to keep trespassers out.
(43:44):
It'll be a challenge, to say the least.
You need to brave your courage and hold true to whatever you hold true to.
Clearly isn't Habela.
I'm sorry.
Not after you totally dissed me.
I was open, but I closed my legs.
Do you know?
(44:05):
Also, be sure to...
She doesn't ignore you.
Be sure to steal your mines as well.
All of you struggled in that maze.
Steal?
Not steal cutouts.
I thought you said we got through it pretty quick.
Well, you got through it, but you were rounding the days from the deep dreads for over a day.
(44:31):
Good.
You have some deep traumas or...
Sorry about that.
Well.
Oh, shit, now she reminds me.
I'm tense again.
You're not strong of mind as you might need to be for this trial.
You know, for a god...
You make a lot of sense, actually.
(44:53):
I don't know why you dissing us quite a bit.
I feel personally attacked twice now.
Yeah.
But thank you for the warning.
How exactly do you think I should up my mind game?
Or could you say head game?
Roll seduction again.
(45:13):
I'm not sure if he's trying to seduce the mermaid or Ben.
It's a little bit of both.
It's ten again.
It's ten.
She's just not even making eye contact with you.
Just talking to the group.
(45:36):
What's the game, man?
To steal your minds better, I would say you need to let go of the past or find a way to remedy what hurts you.
Four of you together can help each other.
A hair group therapy is pretty effective.
All right.
So as soon as we get out of here, we'll find you a academy so you can go ahead and practice your magic.
(46:00):
And we'll take therapy sessions.
Yeah, we'll go find a therapist.
I think she means right now.
So my name's Bernard.
All right.
Hi, Bernard.
Hi, Bernard.
I have a trauma.
There's this one time where I don't want to bore you with the whole story because we only have three hours here.
But once upon a time when I was born, you guys want to recount what you saw in the water as you can.
(46:26):
And you all heard it.
Anyway, you know, that pirate guy, I originally tried to assassinate him and then just went wrong.
And, you know, the dude that I was trying to raise and, you know, one of the night captain, the eyes,
I let him down a little bit and he got pretty sad and I might have shed a few tears.
(46:47):
And I think those were things definitely use that against me and totally bit me.
Well, how long ago was the, you know, you find a pirate?
Frickin years.
60.
60.
I'm 269.
You can move.
(47:07):
Can I cover her?
Like put my arm around him like, I kind of like, don't throw him right now.
It's OK.
You guys don't know he got that secrets between them.
I thought you said he came.
Like swooshing past us like, you don't know he got thrown.
Oh, he just got sucked in.
(47:28):
That is a secret.
I appreciate you comforting me.
Please don't throw me again.
That was actually pretty entertaining.
Oh, you saw that.
I saw.
Oh, I saw it all again.
What happened to the first time?
What do you mean you threw him?
Oh, it's like a little football.
Oh, here I can show you and she gives you an instant replay.
(47:50):
Hold on.
Hold on.
Can you even tie him?
Why would you throw him?
Well, I thought I tied the knot.
All right.
Hold on.
You didn't even take out your rope.
But we went to the moment where he's about to grab
grabbing real quick and see how he moves his hand past the rope
and actually just grips him.
All right.
All right.
Now move a little forward.
This is where he throws him.
(48:11):
All right.
Never went back and do the whole thing over.
I could watch it for hours.
I really want Rob Dyrdek to come out and start playing with this.
But as you guys unload your backstories to each other,
(48:34):
get a little bit more familiar.
No, I'm sad.
Are we like more comfortable now that we kind of said out loud?
It's up to you guys.
I mean, you also can say if you don't want to talk about it.
I mean, I'm swimming with my pants off for the moment.
I'm pretty comfortable.
I'll talk about mine, but I'll get choked up
and I just pull myself a bigger glass of wine.
(48:55):
All right.
He's not talking.
How about you, Morgan?
I'll talk about it to the extent of without mentioning
it was actually death magic.
Have you got saying it was a type of magic that wasn't supposed to be fair enough.
Wow.
That was really deep.
That's intense.
That's some naughty shit.
Wow.
Listen, he up and on.
(49:18):
One last little detail I want to just share.
I kind of thought of that night captain as my own son
because, you know, Bernard Jr. kind of is a disappointment.
What was he saying?
Do tax collector.
That's going to put my hand on his shoulder.
That physically hurt me.
(49:39):
Me too.
Real life.
I am very sorry.
Yeah.
Anyway, I kind of let the night captain down
and I'm stuck with the tax collector son.
You know what?
I feel better about mine.
Mine was a war with two clans and we're killing each other.
I feel so much better.
Nice.
My people got sick from going into.
(50:01):
Well, not necessarily my clan, but people that we're fighting against now.
Usually we have a lines with they went to a demon realm, came back,
they weren't right, we didn't really like other point of views.
And then we just been at war.
I'm going to be honest, they sound a little bit.
How about you, Mr. Maho Maho?
(50:22):
Did you have a big old trip under my whole?
Yes.
Now I got to ask, are you like the lone survivor of your people or what?
No.
All right.
So it's everyone there actually doesn't wear pants.
Yes, we all do wear pants.
We take off our pants and custom to praise in our God.
I mean.
All right.
Do all you people fight with no pants on or miss?
(50:45):
I how is how's the arrangements with your armor when you guys go to battle?
What is the obsession with the pants?
I don't understand.
It weirds me out.
He prays with no pants on.
It's just it's throwing me for a loop.
It's just a custom.
These guys pants on in the waters and he's only took off a shirt.
I just they're called the pants prayers.
I don't understand.
Sorry about the racial slur, but you know, why is it really a surprise for me?
(51:08):
Yeah.
Oh, love it was.
All right.
We just wear thick thick armor, thick leather and, you know, a lot of clothes.
Oh, he's thick.
All right.
I want to pull for the mermaid here in your direction.
It's not how this works.
No, the water temperature is rising.
(51:29):
I'll turn the bubbles back on.
Sorry.
That's that's that's my tent.
Damn.
Oh, you're pitching a tent, huh?
I'm trying to, but I don't know how.
Well, I think I'll take my leave unless you have any other actual questions of me.
Oh, I don't leave me alone.
(51:49):
What's your best advice?
Is there any way we can kill these pirates?
Oh, I was talking about the next trial.
Well, as I said, the trial is meant to test you meant to kill you if you're not worthy.
And just hold true to each other and work as a team.
Actually, I do got a question.
If we get out of here, do we exit and I'll see you if you get out again.
(52:14):
Oh, I know that.
But come back here.
Oh, OK.
So I was going to say if we actually leave and maybe use a clam to actually exit to where
we actually came in.
So, you know, we're going to have to get out of here.
Exit to where we actually came in, so, you know, we're still back in a temple.
So you're saying you want to see me again.
You know, I'm very surprised.
I think you're unfortunately.
(52:35):
You're growing on it.
She's talking to you now.
As far as the pirates go, you know, Bella tried to entrap him in his evil ways.
He found a way out.
Suppose you find how he got out.
You can put him back.
I have to deal with a heart and love and shit.
Can we just kill him?
(52:56):
They go to Oregon.
Do we really have to imprison this man?
He's done so many bad things.
Can we just kill him?
Well, see, he suffers from curse of the deep.
He actually cannot die off the ocean.
And he rarely comes to land for that reason.
Can we drag his ass to the land?
It's a possibility.
(53:16):
We'll drag him here, drag him to the land, and beat definitely the shit out of him.
How good will a jar of dirt be in this situation?
Not good at all.
We might be able to use it to break a box.
So I mean, if you put two yards of dirt on the ship and put him on the dirt.
Nothing would happen.
I was always one of those good clocks, you know, I'm saying, oh, what does this happen?
(53:40):
Our fourth ocean, let's see.
Yeah, it's just on dry land.
He is killed and his blood touches the land.
He will die.
Curse will break.
All right.
So a dragon is asked to land everybody.
Kid Lure, I mean, how do you know it was a dragon?
Wait, I said we can drag him in.
(54:00):
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What did you say about dragons?
I have to go.
Good luck with the water.
Wait, do you like dragons?
Hold on.
There's three other creatures down there.
She's already gone.
You guys are in this cavern and she departs.
The shell slowly opens.
All right.
So we're fighting a part that is also a dragon.
(54:22):
So we're fighting a dragon part.
No, I think that's once we beat the trials.
I'm so confused now.
I've never seen a dragon in anybody.
I've only seen drawings.
That's a freaking dragon right there.
Thank you.
That's the second time that's happened.
That's a drop where two people have talked and said the same thing about the dragon.
(54:44):
The same thing at the same time.
Oh, really?
Does it sound good on recording?
It's amazing.
I just can't believe that that's literally the second time that that's happened.
Thank you for tuning in.
She doesn't have wings.
She's got, you know, she's a bipedal.
You can show me wings.
Did you just call me?
You're a bipedal.
A what?
What does that even mean?
(55:04):
It means you walk on two legs.
Well, yes, I have two legs.
There you go.
You're bipedal.
He's bipedal.
You're a bipedal.
I'm a tricycle over here, mate.
I'll tell you again.
Six, seven.
I think that's a six, seven.
She is six, seven.
(55:26):
I know.
That is large.
It's very hard to kind of scales and breathe fire.
You don't understand.
Or more convincing do you need?
This is indeed a dragon person.
Her rack is right.
I love every time she stands next to me and talks to me.
It's like right there.
It's very hard and it's bad for my neck.
So I have to.
I talked to her as I talked to everybody.
(55:47):
Just look straight.
OK, it's even weird when Bernard talks to me
because I actually just continue looking straight.
And I don't even look down.
It's right at your crotch.
It's not that much shorter than you.
I still don't look down.
(56:07):
OK, what do you guys want to do?
Say we face the trials.
I think we should stick together.
I think we should tie ourselves together with rope.
I think let me tie the knot first.
Absolutely not.
No, you don't get to touch the rope.
I saw the replay about 35 times.
I said, oh, sorry.
(56:28):
It's still going.
Yes, I told you before.
I was like, can you please still play the background?
Can you please look at that video?
And that is exactly why you don't get to touch the rope.
Oh, look.
I'm sorry.
